Chapter 300: Unexpected Visitors and New Trouble

The next day after the curse was lifted, the sun was shining brightly, and the whole team enjoyed a long-lost moment of relaxation. Everyone sat around the campfire, talking and laughing, and Lin Xiao was still munching on her favorite dried meat strips.

"Ah, I can finally have a good rest." Chu Tian stretched, "How long has it been since we relaxed like this?"

"I guess it started when we got the 'Phantom Eye'." Ye Li replied with a smile, "It seems that after the curse was lifted, we finally ushered in a brief period of peace."

"Don't talk too soon." Zhang Meng shook his head. "Based on past experience, every time we say we want to take a break, trouble always comes knocking on our door."

"That's your bad mouth." Lin Xiao chewed on the dried meat strips, his mouth full of oil. "I think today is a good day, nothing can disturb us."

Just then, a deep voice interrupted their conversation: "That may not be the case."

Everyone turned their heads suddenly and saw a man in heavy armor standing behind them, holding a huge sword in his hand, looking at them expressionlessly.

"Who are you?" Qin Feng immediately stood up and asked vigilantly.

"Are you here to cause trouble? We don't want to fight." Lin Xiao also stopped eating meat and stared at the newcomers.

"Relax, I'm not here to fight." The man raised his hand to indicate that he had no hostility. "My name is Tiewei, and I'm here to ask for your help."

"Looking for our help?" Ye Li frowned, "Why us?"

The Iron Guard put down his great sword, sat opposite them, and sighed: "I heard that you are a group of very powerful adventurers, and you have just broken the curse of the 'Phantom Eye'. Now, my hometown is facing a huge crisis."

"Where are you from? What happened?" Qin Feng asked.

"I'm from Iron Wall City." The Iron Guard said solemnly, "Not long ago, a huge dragon appeared in our city. It destroyed our defense facilities and kidnapped many villagers. I heard that you are good at dealing with this kind of supernatural trouble, so I came to ask for your help."

"Demon dragon? It sounds tricky." Chu Tian thought, "But why don't you ask your city lord or others for help?"

"The city lord has been captured by the dragon." The Iron Guard said helplessly, "The remaining guards we have are limited in strength and cannot fight against such a powerful creature."

"You make it sound like we can defeat the dragon." Lin Xiao interrupted, "But this challenge does sound interesting."

"If you are willing to help, Iron Wall City will reward you handsomely," Iron Guard said sincerely, "and you will become heroes of our city."

Qin Feng turned to his team and whispered, "What do you think? Should we go?"

"I don't think we can just sit there and watch." Ye Li said firmly, "In any case, we should go and take a look."

"Yeah, it sounds like this dragon is no ordinary trouble." Zhang Meng agreed, "But we should be prepared first."

"I also think we can go," Chu Tian added, "but we must be cautious and understand the situation before deciding on the next step."

Lin Xiao chewed some dried meat and said, "I don't care. I feel bored anyway. If we go, we can just treat it as a new adventure."

"Okay, since everyone agrees, let's go and help." Qin Feng nodded, and then said to Tiewei, "We decided to help you, but we need more information."

The Iron Guard nodded gratefully: "Thank you! I will tell you everything when we reach Iron Wall City."

Under the leadership of Tiewei, Qin Feng and his team headed towards Tiebi City. Along the way, Tiewei gave them a detailed introduction to the situation in the city.

"The dragon suddenly appeared a month ago," the Iron Guard explained. "It first destroyed the city wall, then captured the city lord and some villagers. We tried to resist, but its power was too strong, and ordinary attacks were ineffective."

"Do you know where the magic dragon comes from?" Ye Li asked.

"Not sure. Some say it comes from the high mountains in the north, but there are also rumors that it emerges from the abyss underground." The Iron Guard shook his head. "In any case, its power is extraordinary."

"It sounds like we're not dealing with an ordinary dragon," Chu Tian said, "We need to be prepared for any situation."

"That's right, what is the dragon's weakness?" Qin Feng asked.

"It is said that the dragon is afraid of light." The Iron Guard replied, "But when we tried to attack it with light, we didn't see any obvious effect."

"This is a bit troublesome." Zhang Meng scratched his head, "We need a more effective strategy."

Just as they were discussing strategy, a low roar came from a distance and the ground began to tremble slightly.

"What's that sound?" Lin Xiao asked nervously.

"Oh no! It's a crypt worm!" The Iron Guard's face changed and he shouted, "Hurry, hide!"

But it was too late. A huge burrow worm emerged from the ground, opened its huge mouth, revealing countless sharp teeth, and pounced towards them.

"Quick! Get ready for battle!" Qin Feng shouted, drew out the Dragon Shadow Sword, and quickly went into battle.

Chu Tian and Zhang Meng also immediately entered combat mode, while Ye Li released the Frost Fox to try to freeze the movement of the crypt worms. Lin Xiao quickly turned aside and pulled out her dagger from her waist, ready to attack at any time.

"This guy is so disgusting!" Lin Xiao frowned, "How could such a monster exist?"

"Crypt worms are underground creatures that usually don't leave their territory." Iron Guard explained, "They came out now, probably because they were driven away by the dragon."

"Then let's let it go back!" Qin Feng said calmly, stabbing the worm's eye with a sword.

The worm howled in pain and swung its tail wildly, trying to repel Qin Feng. Chu Tian and Zhang Meng worked in perfect harmony, attacking from the side in an attempt to weaken the worm's defense.

"Everyone be careful! The worm's tail is very powerful!" the Iron Guard warned, blocking a powerful attack from the worm with his giant sword.

Ye Li observed the worm's movements and suddenly realized that its abdomen seemed to be its weak point: "Attack its abdomen! There is no hard shell there!"

"Good idea!" Qin Feng shouted, "Chu Tian, ​​Zhang Meng, prepare to attack!"

Chu Tian and Zhang Meng took action immediately. Chu Tian used the power of the Storm Wolf to quickly get behind the worm, while Zhang Meng used the power of the Giant Rock Bear to hit the worm's abdomen. The worm howled in more pain and its movements became slower.

"Now!" Qin Feng seized the opportunity and quickly pierced the worm's abdomen with a sword. The worm screamed for the last time, twitched violently, and then fell to the ground and stopped moving.

"We did it!" Lin Xiao cheered, "This cooperation is perfect!"

"Yes, we work well together." Ye Li said with a smile.

After solving the problem of the crypt worms, the Iron Guard breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for your help. It seems that you really have the strength to deal with the dragon."

"Don't be too happy too soon." Qin Feng said, "The crypt worm is just a small trouble. The real challenge is still ahead."

The Iron Guard nodded: "That's right. We still have a long way to go, but with you here, I believe we will succeed."

"Okay, everyone, tidy up and let's move on." Qin Feng commanded.

"I won't say anything like cursing this time." Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Then you'd better not mention anything unlucky again." Chu Tian joked.

Everyone laughed, and continued to march towards the Iron Wall City with a relaxed mood and firm belief.

Just as they were on their way again, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck from the sky, striking the road ahead of them. In the lightning, a tall figure slowly emerged.

"Another trouble?" Zhang Meng asked vigilantly.

"It doesn't look like it." Qin Feng tightly gripped the Dragon Shadow Sword and looked at the figure warily.

The lightning gradually dissipated, and a man in gorgeous armor stood in front of them. His armor was engraved with mysterious runes, and he held a huge battle axe in his hand with a majestic expression.

"Are you the legendary adventure team?" the man asked coldly.

"So what?" Lin Xiao replied disdainfully, "Who are you?"

"My name is Thunder Knight, and I'm here to test you." Thunder Knight said coldly, "If you want to fight the dragon, you have to get past me first!"

Qin Feng and his team looked at each other in bewilderment. Ye Li couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems that it is still a luxury for us to rest today."

"Come on then." Qin Feng said with a smile, "We are never afraid of challenges."

The team regrouped and prepared for a new battle. Although they were facing a powerful opponent, they were full of fighting spirit and ready to face the new test.

"This will be an exciting battle." Chu Tian said.

"Let's start." Qin Feng responded.

The Thunder Knight sneered, raised his battle axe, and thunder sounded in the sky again.

The battle is about to begin and new adventures are waiting for them.
