Chapter 841: "An Underground Maze Full of Traps"

According to the map that emerged from the ancient tower, Qin Feng and his team were divided into two groups and headed to several marked points in the capital. The capital was still quiet under the cover of night, but they all knew that the apparent calm was just the calm before the storm.

"Well, this plan is more complicated than last time." Zhang Meng scratched his head, puzzled, "Why can't we rush in at once and solve all the problems?"

"If we do this, you will probably be trapped in the trap of the dark forces." Li Xiao replied coldly, obviously accustomed to Zhang Meng's recklessness.

"Hey, I call this brave." Zhang Meng chuckled, "But then again, why am I always the first one to rush in?"

"Because you are the only impulsive person." Ye Li said with a smile as they walked, "And we are smart."

"Don't be so proud. Being smart may not be useful." Zhang Meng muttered, but there was a smile on his face.

Qin Feng looked at his teammates behind him and smiled. "Zhang Meng's momentum can sometimes help us find opportunities, but this time we must be more cautious. The location shown on the map is likely to be a trap. We must act separately to ensure that we are not completely surrounded."

"So why don't we split into three groups?" Zhang Meng asked, "This way we can find the core of the dark power faster."

"Because the third group will be short of manpower." Qin Feng explained, "Our two groups are already the best combination. One group is responsible for covering, and the other group is responsible for attacking."

"I see." Zhang Meng nodded, but he was still a little confused. "Then which group am I in?"

"Of course you are the assault team." Li Xiao said lightly, "This is your strong point."

"Haha, that's about right!" Zhang Meng laughed proudly.

When they arrived at the first target point, the entrance to the underground passage looked no different from an ordinary basement, but there was a faint dark atmosphere in the air. The runes in the passage glowed faintly, as if warning them.

"These runes are traps." Qin Feng observed for a moment, then said, "We must be careful not to touch any walls."

"I'll try to explore the way." Zhang Meng volunteered, raised his giant axe, and walked cautiously in front while looking left and right, "I don't want to step on any traps."

"Don't move." Ye Li warned, "The traps set by the dark forces can't be solved by just stepping on them."

"Don't worry, I, Zhang Meng, have experience!" Zhang Meng said confidently.

Just as he finished saying this, there was a sudden "click" sound from the ground, a secret mechanism was triggered, and the runes on the wall lit up instantly, emitting a dazzling red light.

"It's over, the mechanism has been triggered!" Chu Tian shouted, and quickly released a protective barrier that surrounded several people.

The rune light quickly gathered into a black vortex, and the dark energy surging from the wall formed a huge tentacle, rushing straight towards Zhang Meng.

"Oh, this is coming too fast!" Zhang Meng shouted, and quickly swung his axe to chop at the tentacles. However, the tentacles seemed to be made of pure energy, and his axe could not cause any damage at all.

"This thing has a magic shield!" Ye Li pulled the bow, aimed at the core of the tentacle, and shot a magic arrow.

The magic arrow hit the core of the tentacle accurately, but did not completely dissipate, only slightly delayed.

"Not enough." Li Xiao said calmly, "We need stronger attack power."

"Let me do it!" Qin Feng raised the staff in his hand and guided the power of the soul spring to the core of the rune. He closed his eyes, felt the energy fluctuations of the rune, and tried to interfere with it.

As Qin Feng cast the spell, the runes gradually went out, and the huge tentacle began to lose strength and gradually retracted into the wall.

"Done!" Zhang Meng breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest, "Luckily Qin Feng is here, otherwise this thing would be difficult to deal with."

"Can't you be more careful?" Ye Li said with a smile, "Don't be so anxious to rush to the front next time."

"Isn't this my responsibility?" Zhang Meng said with a smile.

"Everyone, pay attention. We still have a few marked points to investigate." Qin Feng reminded, "This is just the beginning. There may be more similar traps in the future."

The group continued to move forward, passing through the long and narrow tunnel, and finally arrived at the second marked point. This time, they found a huge and complex magic circle, with a black crystal placed in the center of the magic circle, emitting strong dark energy.

"It seems we have found something important." Chu Tian said in a low voice, his eyes full of vigilance.

"This crystal is one of the cores of the dark power." Qin Feng observed for a while, then said, "We must destroy it."

"Let me do it!" Zhang Meng raised the giant axe and prepared to chop at the crystal.

"Wait!" Qin Feng stopped him immediately, "This crystal may have a defensive barrier. A direct attack may trigger a stronger counterattack."

"What should we do then?" Zhang Meng stopped and looked confused.

"We need to work together." Qin Feng said, "Li Xiao, you use your sword energy to break the defensive barrier, and Ye Li and Chu Tian will be responsible for long-range support. I will use the soul spring to seal the energy of the crystal."

"Understood!" Several people answered in unison and quickly prepared for action.

Li Xiao swung his sword, and the sword energy hit the surface of the crystal directly. As the barrier was broken, Ye Li and Chu Tian released their magic attacks at the same time, aiming directly at the core of the crystal.

"Now!" Qin Feng shouted, and the power of the Soul Spring was quickly injected into the crystal, and the dark energy inside the crystal began to dissipate rapidly.

"We succeeded!" Zhang Meng shouted excitedly.

However, just as the crystal was about to collapse completely, a low roar suddenly sounded in the tunnel. A huge shadow emerged from the crystal, transformed into a huge dark monster, and pounced on the few people.

"Another monster!" Ye Li quickly drew the bow and shot an arrow.

"This guy looks difficult to deal with." Li Xiao frowned, but he still calmly swung his sword to fight.

"Let's go together!" Qin Feng shouted.

Several people attacked together and forced the monster back. Finally, after many collaborations, they finally defeated the dark monster and completely destroyed the black crystal.

"Done!" Zhang Meng laughed, "We worked together really well this time!"

"This is just the beginning." Qin Feng smiled slightly, "There are more marking points waiting for us."

As the team continues to move forward, they gradually uncover more secrets of the dark forces. Although the road ahead is still full of dangers, their hearts are full of hope - their team is getting closer to the dawn of victory step by step.
