Chapter 829 "Sudden Mission"

The morning sun shines through the woods and onto the ground, a few birds are singing happily on the branches, and the air is filled with the fresh smell of earth, making it seem particularly peaceful and harmonious.

Zhang Meng yawned loudly and lazily came out of the tent. "What a nice day! I think this means I can spend the day leisurely."

Ye Li stood aside, drawing her bow and arrow, doing her morning practice at a tree not far away. She smiled and said, "Leisure? You are really never nervous. Our adventures never give you so many opportunities to relax."

"Oh, Ye Li, this is a beautiful day." Zhang Meng stretched lazily, "At least it gives people some relaxing fantasies!"

"It's okay to fantasize." Chu Tian came over with a freshly brewed tea in his hand, "But you also have to remember that every time you relax, danger is always lurking not far away."

"Can you please stop criticizing me?" Zhang Meng said with a wry smile, "I'm just enjoying this rare peace and quiet."

"We understand your thoughts, but reality often does not allow you to relax so much." Qin Feng's voice came from not far away. He was studying the map attentively, obviously preparing for the next trip.

"Boss Qin Feng, you are too nervous." Zhang Meng walked up to him, leaned over to look at the map, and asked in confusion, "We have rescued the villagers. Shouldn't we go back and report? What are you still looking for?"

Qin Feng pointed to an area on the map, frowning. "We haven't completely solved the problem. Although we rescued the villagers, I found some strange energy fluctuations nearby."

"Strange energy fluctuations?" Ye Li frowned, put down his bow and arrow, and walked over. "Are you saying there are other threats?"

Qin Feng nodded. "According to my perception, the energy in this area is very unstable. Although we destroyed the core of the monster, it seems that this power has not completely disappeared. There may be a bigger conspiracy behind it."

"So you mean, we have a new mission?" Zhang Meng showed a helpless expression, "I was just ready to enjoy a leisurely day!"

"Missions never wait." Li Xiao said coldly, obviously having no sympathy for Zhang Meng's complaints.

"Okay, okay, I knew it wouldn't be that simple." Zhang Meng sighed, but then regained his confidence, "No matter what the task is, I, Zhang Meng, can handle it!"

Qin Feng smiled faintly, "I hope you can really 'get it done' this time."

"I am your pioneer. Just wait and see if you don't believe me!" Zhang Meng patted his chest and said confidently.

After they packed their bags, they set out again. Although Zhang Meng said it was easy, he felt that this mission was more complicated than before.

"Where are we going?" Ye Li asked, looking around vigilantly.

"The area marked on the map is an ancient ruin." Qin Feng pointed to a vague point on the map. "According to legend, it was once the home of a powerful force, but later disappeared completely due to some unknown disaster. Recently, the energy fluctuations there have become unusually strong, which may be related to the monster we encountered before."

"It doesn't sound like a good place." Chu Tian muttered, "Ruins? Usually places like this are full of traps and dangers."

"Okay, I have to be a little more alert this time." Zhang Meng nodded thoughtfully, "But it's just a ruin, maybe there are treasures!"

"You're dreaming." Ye Li chuckled, "Every time you said there was a treasure, we ended up running into bigger troubles."

"But maybe this time it's different!" Zhang Meng smiled brightly, "You know, luck can change!"

Several people were walking through the forest. As they gradually approached their destination, the air around them began to become heavier, as if some invisible force was covering the area.

"Something feels wrong." Ye Li frowned, holding the bow tightly in her hand, her eyes full of vigilance, "The atmosphere around us is becoming more and more oppressive."

"I felt it too." Qin Feng nodded. "The energy fluctuations here are very unstable. We may have entered the range of that power."

"So it's time for battle next?" Zhang Meng clenched his weapon excitedly, his eyes flashing with fighting spirit.

"Don't rush into battle." Li Xiao said coldly, "We don't know who the real enemy is yet."

While they were discussing, suddenly, a low vibration came from afar, as if the earth was shaking slightly. Then, a black energy emerged from the ground, as if it was going to swallow everything.

"What is that?" Zhang Meng exclaimed, his eyes widened.

"This is what we have to face." Qin Feng's voice remained calm, but his expression had become more serious.

"It looks like some kind of seal has been broken." Ye Li gripped the bow and arrow tightly, ready to fight at any time.

"Then we have to stop it quickly!" Zhang Meng jumped up and prepared to rush forward.

"Wait a minute!" Qin Feng immediately reached out to stop Zhang Meng, "We can't act rashly. This energy is very powerful, we must find its source."

"Find the source? That troublesome step again." Although Zhang Meng was reluctant, he still stood still. "Okay, boss, you command and I will fight!"

Qin Feng nodded, "This ruin may hide some kind of ancient forbidden technique. We must first figure out its operating mechanism before we can truly solve the problem."

"You say it easily, but this black energy looks very urgent." Chu Tian stared at the spreading black energy and seemed a little nervous.

"We need to speed up our actions." Qin Feng immediately began to guide the power of the Soul Spring, trying to sense the energy fluctuations in the ruins.

"You deal with that side, and I'll deal with the monster!" Zhang Meng roared, and rushed forward with his weapon in hand, rushing towards the direction of the black energy.

"Zhang Meng, wait a minute!" Ye Li shouted hurriedly, but Zhang Meng had already rushed into the range of black energy.

The black energy seemed to have life, rushing towards Zhang Meng quickly, trying to devour him. Zhang Meng waved his weapon and shouted, "Don't worry about me, I can handle it!"

"This guy is so reckless." Li Xiao said coldly, but he did not stop. He quickly rushed forward to support Zhang Meng.

"We must stop that energy, otherwise it will be too late." Qin Feng said anxiously, continuing to guide the power of the Soul Fountain, trying to stop the spread of black energy.

"Here I come!" Zhang Meng roared, breaking through the black energy and rushing straight to the source of the energy. His weapon emitted a faint light, as if fighting against the darkness.

As Zhang Meng attacked, the black energy suddenly became more violent, as if it felt threatened. The air was filled with tension, as if a huge storm was about to erupt.

"We have to end this quickly!" Ye Li shouted, aiming the bow and arrow in her hand at the core of the energy.

"Don't worry, I have a way!" Zhang Meng smiled confidently, and then swung with all his strength, hitting the center of the energy.

With a loud roar, the black energy suddenly collapsed and scattered, as if the whole world stopped for a moment.

"Done!" Zhang Meng laughed and turned to look at the others, "I told you I could do it!"

Qin Feng smiled slightly, "You did a good job this time."

Ye Li also smiled and nodded, "It seems that our adventure this time was safe and sound."

"Hey, this is the power of teamwork!" Zhang Meng said proudly, "I, Zhang Meng, will never let you down!"

As the black energy dissipated, the oppressive atmosphere in the ruins gradually disappeared, and the sunlight shone on them again, as if the world had returned to peace.
