Chapter 658: Fierce Battle in the Cave and New Clues

After Qin Feng and his companions were discovered by the members of the dark forces, the two sides immediately entered a tense confrontation. The members of the dark forces showed ferocity and cunning in their eyes, and they quickly took up their fighting postures, ready to meet the attack of Qin Feng and his companions.

"Hey, you guys are really haunting me!" Qin Feng tightly grasped the Dragon Shadow Sword, his eyes full of vigilance.

"Humph, you soul masters are not simple at all. You actually managed to find this place. However, don't even think about leaving alive today." A member of the dark forces sneered.

After that, the members of the dark forces released their dark soul power and rushed towards Qin Feng and his group. Qin Feng was not afraid at all. He waved the Dragon Shadow Sword and performed the "Dragon Shadow Sword? Wind Breaking Slash". A golden blade flew towards the members of the dark forces.

"Bang!" The sword blade collided with the dark soul power, making a loud noise. The power of both sides canceled each other out, and neither of them gained an advantage.

"Everyone be careful, these guys are not easy to deal with." Qin Feng reminded.

The members of the investigation team also released their martial spirits and started a fierce battle with the members of the dark forces. The cave was suddenly filled with the fluctuations of soul power and shouts of killing.

A member of the dark forces rushed towards Qin Feng, holding a black dagger in his hand, and was extremely fast. Qin Feng dodged his attack by moving sideways, then stabbed him in the chest with a backhanded sword. The member of the dark forces hurriedly blocked with the dagger, but was still scratched on the arm by Qin Feng's blade.

"Ah!" The member of the dark force let out a scream.

"You are quite powerful, you guy." He said viciously.

Qin Feng ignored him and continued to attack other members of the dark forces. During the battle, Qin Feng discovered that these members of the dark forces seemed to attach great importance to the mysterious device, and they had been trying to protect it.

"This device must have some important function. We must destroy it." Qin Feng thought to himself.

While he was fighting with the members of the dark forces, he was looking for an opportunity to destroy the device. Finally, he saw a member of the dark forces being entangled by the members of the investigation team, revealing a flaw. Qin Feng took the opportunity to rush over and swung a sword at the device.

"Dragon Shadow Sword? Destruction Slash!" Qin Feng shouted.

A powerful sword blade flew towards the device, with golden light flashing on the blade, containing powerful power. The members of the dark forces saw Qin Feng's attack and wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

"Boom!" The sword blade hit the device, causing a huge explosion. After the device was destroyed, a puff of black smoke came out of it.

"No, disperse!" Qin Feng shouted.

The members of the investigation team quickly dispersed, avoiding the black smoke. The members of the dark forces showed angry expressions, and they rushed towards Qin Feng, wanting to avenge the destruction of the device.

Qin Feng calmly looked at the dark forces rushing over, and he swung the Dragon Shadow Sword again, ready to meet their attack. At this moment, a low roar came from the depths of the cave.

"What's that sound? Is there any other danger?" a member of the investigation team said in horror.

Qin Feng frowned, he felt a strong soul power fluctuation coming from deep in the cave. He knew that they might be in bigger trouble.

The members of the dark forces also heard the voice, and their faces became even uglier. They hesitated for a moment, then turned around and ran out of the cave.

"Want to run? Not that easy!" Qin Feng shouted.

He led the members of the investigation team to chase them out. Outside the cave, they saw the members of the dark forces fleeing in panic. Qin Feng and his team did not want to miss this opportunity and continued to chase them.

During the pursuit, Qin Feng suddenly found a strange symbol on the ground. This symbol looked like some kind of ancient text, but he didn't recognize it.

"What is this symbol? Could it be a clue left by the dark forces?" Qin Feng thought to himself.

He stopped and looked at the symbol carefully. The members of the investigation team also gathered around and looked at the strange symbol.

"Teacher Qin, what does this symbol mean?" a student asked.

Qin Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know either. But this symbol must be very important. We have to take it back and study it."

They drew the symbol on a piece of cloth and continued to chase the members of the dark forces. However, the members of the dark forces ran very fast and they soon disappeared into the forest.

Qin Feng and his team did not continue the pursuit, but returned to the Soul Master Academy. They told Chu Tian and others what happened in the cave and the symbols they found.

Chu Tian looked at the symbol and fell into deep thought. He didn't recognize the symbol either, but he felt that the symbol might be related to the key to unlock the seal of the mysterious power.

"We need to find someone who understands ancient characters to study this symbol." Chu Tian said.

So they began to look for someone who knew ancient characters in the academy. After some effort, they finally found an old scholar. The old scholar had white hair and a look of wisdom in his eyes.

The old scholar looked at the symbol and frowned. He thought for a while and then said, "I seem to have seen this symbol somewhere before, but I can't remember where it is. I need some time to study it."

Chu Tian and others had no choice but to wait patiently for the old scholar's research results. While waiting, they were not idle. They continued to strengthen the defense of the academy and prepare for another attack from the dark forces.

At the same time, they were also paying attention to the situation of the reconnaissance team led by Xingying, wondering if they had found any important clues in the ruins.

As time passed, the old scholar finally made some discoveries. He excitedly found Chu Tian and others and told them the meaning of the symbol.

"This symbol is an ancient map mark that points to a mysterious place. This place may be related to the key to unlock the seal of mysterious power." said the old scholar.

Chu Tian and others were filled with hope after hearing the old scholar's words. They decided to organize a team immediately to go to that mysterious place to find the key.

At this time, the investigation team led by Xingying also encountered some troubles in the ruins. They found a huge maze deep in the ruins, which was full of various dangers and traps. Can they successfully get out of the maze and find more clues? All this is still unknown.
