Chapter 871 The Spread of Darkness

"Hurry up, Brother Feng, this place is really going to collapse!" Zhang Meng ran breathlessly on the mountain road, shouting without looking back.

Qin Feng followed closely, his eyes fixed on the stone tablet behind him. It had completely collapsed, and dark energy gushed out of the stone tablet like a flood, sweeping across the entire Frost Mountain Range, as if it was going to swallow everything.

"We must speed up! This dark force will not only destroy this place, it will spread to the entire continent!" Qin Feng said in a deep voice, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.

"Speed ​​up? Brother Feng, I've already reached my limit. If I go any faster I'm afraid I'll fly away!" Zhang Meng was panting, and the giant axe in his hand seemed to be about to be dragged to the ground.

Qin Feng said helplessly: "Then don't talk, save your energy, it won't be too late to fight the dark monster later."

Zhang Meng laughed and said, "Hey, Brother Feng, you talk as if I'm tired. I can still kill a few more monsters!"

As they were talking, the dark energy behind them suddenly erupted into a huge vortex, and in the vortex, a black shadow quickly approached them. Qin Feng turned around suddenly, his face changed: "Mengzi, watch out!"

Zhang Meng was stunned, turned his head and took a look, his eyes suddenly widened: "Oh my God! This thing is catching up with us!"

The dark shadow was like a giant snake, twisting and turning in the air at an astonishing speed. It followed Qin Feng and Zhang Meng closely, and was about to pounce on them.

"What should we do, Brother Feng? How about I chop it a few times with the axe?" Zhang Meng picked up the giant axe, ready to fight at any time.

"You still want to chop it?" Qin Feng shouted hurriedly, "This dark force has no substance, it can't be chopped at all! Run quickly, or you will really turn into charcoal in a moment!"

Hearing this, Zhang Meng had no choice but to put down the axe and continued to run desperately: "Hey, Brother Feng, if I had known it was such a boring parkour competition, I shouldn't have brought such a big axe. It's so heavy!"

"How dare you say that," Qin Feng couldn't help but laugh, "This axe is your own treasure. Who told you to bring it with you every time you fight monsters?"

Zhang Meng scratched his head: "Hey, baby, of course I have to carry it with me at all times! But running now does make me a little tired."

The two continued running, watching the exit at the bottom of the mountain getting closer and closer, but the vortex of dark power was also approaching rapidly, as if it was a life-and-death race. Suddenly, there was a violent vibration from the ground ahead, and the mountain road began to collapse.

"Oh no, there are problems ahead too!" Qin Feng's heart sank, "It seems that the dark forces have begun to affect the terrain here. We have to find another way."

When Zhang Meng saw the mountain road ahead cracked, he didn't panic at all. Instead, he grinned and said, "Don't worry, Brother Feng, I'm here! Look at my ultimate move - a fierce leap!"

As he spoke, Zhang Meng accelerated without hesitation and rushed towards the collapsed mountain road. His huge body actually leaped into the air, easily crossed the crack, and landed steadily on the other side.

Qin Feng was stunned: "You can still fly?"

Zhang Meng was very proud: "Hehe, I usually hide it and don't use it. I only show it to you in this critical moment."

Qin Feng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then you really hid it well enough."

However, just as they breathed a sigh of relief, they heard a stronger sound of wind coming from behind them. The vortex of dark power actually came closer in just a few seconds and was about to surround them.

"Brother Feng, we really need to think of some new tactics. This guy is chasing us much faster than we thought!" Zhang Meng looked at the dark vortex nervously. Although he has always been bold and daring, he was still a little nervous when facing the invisible and intangible dark force directly.

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes and made a quick decision: "Mengzi, we have to create an obstacle to temporarily stop the spread of this force. We can only rely on ourselves."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Meng immediately stood up straight and swung his giant axe: "Creating obstacles? I'm good at this! Whatever you say, I'll hit it with my axe."

Qin Feng looked at the surrounding terrain carefully, and suddenly pointed to the rock on one side: "Mengzi, do you see the huge rock over there? We need to cut it off and let it roll down to block this road."

Zhang Meng's eyes lit up: "Brother Feng, I like this job! Watch me!"

He quickly rushed to the boulder, raised his axe and chopped it hard at the bottom of the boulder. With a deafening roar, a deep crack appeared at the bottom of the boulder. Zhang Meng did not stop and continued to swing the axe. After several consecutive strikes, the boulder finally made a low cracking sound.

“Here it comes!” Zhang Meng shouted, and with a sudden push, the boulder immediately broke away from the mountain, rolled down the hillside with a rumble, and rushed straight towards the dark vortex.

"Let's go!" Qin Feng pulled Zhang Meng and turned to run.

As the boulder rolled down the hillside, it slammed into the dark vortex. The vortex was instantly torn apart by the huge impact force. Although it did not completely dissipate, its speed was obviously slowed down a lot.

"Haha, we succeeded! Brother Feng, I told you, our cooperation is invincible!" Zhang Meng ran and laughed, his face full of pride.

Qin Feng shook his head: "Don't be too happy too soon, this is only temporary. We have to find an exit as soon as possible, otherwise once that power recovers, we will be in real danger."

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Zhang Meng said, and immediately quickened his pace.

Finally, after Qin Feng and Zhang Meng ran desperately, they rushed out of the Frost Mountains and came to a relatively safe plain. Although the dark vortex behind them was still there, they had been left far behind.

The two stopped and Zhang Meng sat down on the ground, panting: "Huh... I finally got out, Brother Feng, this trip was really exciting."

Qin Feng also breathed a sigh of relief and looked around: "We are safe for now, but this crisis is not over yet. Although the dark force has been blocked by us, it will not stop easily. Next, we must find a way to completely stop its spread."

Zhang Meng patted his thigh and said with a smile: "Well, I'm good at fighting and running anyway. You decide what to do next and I'll listen to you. But should we take a break first? My legs are almost broken."

Qin Feng looked at Zhang Meng's tired face and couldn't help but smile: "Okay, let's take a break. Next, we need more power to completely seal this darkness."

Zhang Meng suddenly became alert: "Greater power? Brother Feng, are you saying that we are going to find some treasure or powerful weapons?"

Qin Feng nodded: "Almost. The legendary seal of the Frost Mountains is not the only one. There are other hidden powers nearby that can help us. If we can find those powers, we may have a chance to completely resolve this crisis."

Zhang Meng jumped up excitedly: "Great, great! I like treasure hunting! Brother Feng, can we find some legendary artifacts this time? I think my axe is pretty good, but it would be even cooler if it could be upgraded to a magic weapon!"

Qin Feng couldn't help laughing: "You really are not satisfied at all."

"Hehe, of course. Who doesn't want to hold a cooler weapon?" Zhang Meng said without disguising, "But then again, the Dark Cult is indeed a bit tricky this time. We have to be more cautious."

Qin Feng nodded: "Yes, what we are going to face next may be more difficult than before."

"It's okay, no matter how difficult it is," Zhang Meng swung his axe, "As long as I, Zhang Meng, am here, I can overcome any difficulty!"
