Chapter 34 Dark Place

Qin Feng and his companions left the Soul Master Academy and headed for the remote area shrouded by the dark power. As they approached, the surrounding environment became more and more gloomy and desolate, as if all life was swallowed up by the dark power here.

"The atmosphere here is very strange. Everyone, be careful." Ye Li felt the oppressive feeling in the air, and her Frost Fox also seemed unusually nervous.

Chu Tian and Zhang Meng also became more alert, their soul beasts were ready to fight at any time. Qin Feng held the Dragon Shadow Sword tightly, his eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings, ready to deal with any possible surprise attack.

As they went deeper into this dark land, the surrounding scene became more and more bizarre. The withered trees, barren land, and the whispers that seemed to come from hell all made them feel extremely oppressive and uneasy.

"This place seems to be controlled by some powerful dark force. We must find its source as soon as possible." Qin Feng said in a deep voice. His intuition told him that there was a great danger hidden here.

During the exploration, Qin Feng and his team were suddenly attacked by a group of dark puppets. These puppets were once living humans and soul beasts, but now they are controlled by the dark power and turned into mindless killing machines.

"These puppets are very powerful, we can't take them lightly." Chu Tian reminded, and his Storm Wolf had already assumed a fighting stance.

The battle broke out soon. Although these dark puppets moved slowly, their power was extremely terrifying, and each attack was highly corrosive and destructive. Qin Feng and his companions had to deal with it with all their strength.

Qin Feng's Dragon Shadow Sword flashed with lightning in the darkness, and every attack was accompanied by the power of thunder, trying to split the bodies of these puppets. However, these puppets had extremely high defense, and even if they were hit, they would quickly recover.

"These guys don't seem to be afraid of getting hurt. What should I do?" Zhang Meng shouted anxiously. His Giant Rock Bear was fighting with several puppets and seemed to be struggling.

Ye Li observed for a while and suddenly discovered the weakness of these puppets: "Their power comes from the dark core in their bodies. As long as the core is destroyed, they will not be able to regenerate."

Qin Feng quickly adjusted his attack strategy. He concentrated his strength on the core part of the puppet and chopped it down with one sword, completely destroying the core of one puppet. Sure enough, the puppet that lost its core immediately collapsed to the ground, losing all its vitality.

After mastering the correct attack method, Qin Feng and his partners quickly defeated all the dark puppets. Although the battle was extremely fierce, they remained calm and cooperated, and finally won the victory.

"We have to keep moving forward. The source of the dark power is still ahead." Qin Feng looked at the destroyed puppets, his heart filled with a sense of urgency.

As they continued to explore, Qin Feng and his team met a mysterious person. This person was wearing a black robe and his face was unclear, but the dark aura on his body was extremely strong. It was obvious that he was the controller of this dark land.

"You stupid guys, you dare to intrude into my territory. You are really courting death." The mysterious figure's voice was hoarse and cold, like a whisper from hell.

Qin Feng tightly grasped the Dragon Shadow Sword and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you? Why did you create these dark puppets?"

The mysterious figure sneered: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you all have to die here today."

After saying that, his body suddenly turned into countless black shadows, which quickly surrounded Qin Feng and the others. These black shadows seemed to have life, constantly attacking them, and every contact would make them feel the coldness and pain deep in their souls.

"This guy is very powerful, we have to be careful!" Ye Li quickly released the Frost Fox, using the cold air to temporarily curb the black shadow's attack.

However, these shadows seemed endless, and even if they were frozen by the cold air, they would quickly regroup and continue to attack. Qin Feng and his companions had to defend with all their strength, but facing this strange attack, they seemed extremely passive.

"We have to find a way to break this situation!" Chu Tian shouted. His Storm Wolf kept shuttling through the shadows, but every attack seemed to hit the air.

Qin Feng also realized the seriousness of the problem, and he decided to concentrate all his spiritual power to launch a powerful counterattack. The Dragon Shadow Sword burst out with a strong light in his hand, and the sword light struck the mysterious figure like lightning.

Qin Feng's attack was precise and powerful, successfully hitting the mysterious figure's vital point. The black shadow let out a painful roar and then dissipated into the air. However, Qin Feng knew that this did not mean the end of the battle.

"We have to leave here quickly, he will come back." Qin Feng gave a decisive order and they quickly evacuated the dangerous area.

However, their retreat was not smooth. Although the mysterious figure was temporarily repelled, his power still existed. The dark forces around them began to gather, as if countless pairs of eyes were staring at them in secret, ready to attack at any time.

"We are surrounded!" Zhang Meng shouted anxiously. His giant rock bear kept growling in the darkness around it, looking extremely uneasy.

Qin Feng knew that they had to break out quickly, otherwise they would be surrounded by endless darkness. He decided to use the lightning power of the Dragon Shadow Sword to forcibly tear open a breakthrough.

"Everyone follow me, let's rush out!" Qin Feng ordered loudly, then swung the Dragon Shadow Sword. A strong ray of lightning cut through the darkness and struck straight ahead.

Under the powerful force of thunder and lightning, the dark forces were temporarily suppressed. Qin Feng and his companions took the opportunity to break out of the encirclement and quickly retreated along a narrow path.

Although they successfully broke through, the shadow of the mysterious figure still looms in their hearts. They know that the battle is far from over and the threat of dark forces still exists.

During the retreat, Ye Li accidentally discovered a hidden passage that seemed to lead to a secret place, and the walls were engraved with ancient runes, as if recording some important information.

"This passage may lead to the source of dark power. We should go in and take a look." Ye Li suggested. Her frost fox was hovering at the entrance of the passage, appearing particularly sensitive.

Qin Feng also felt that this passage might hide important secrets, so he decided to take his companions into the passage to further explore the mysteries of this dark place.

As they went deeper into the tunnel, the surrounding environment became more and more oppressive and mysterious. The end of the tunnel seemed to be connected to a huge underground space, which exuded a strong dark atmosphere, as if some terrible existence was hidden there.

"We have to be careful, there may be more dangers here." Qin Feng said in a deep voice, his Dragon Shadow Sword emitting a faint light in his hand, illuminating the road ahead.

Although they were filled with anxiety and doubt, they still moved forward firmly. No matter what was waiting for them ahead, they would not retreat.

With doubts and determination about the dark power, Qin Feng and his partners entered the underground space. They knew that this exploration would determine their fate and reveal the true secret of the dark land.
