Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

Chapter 344 Traps and Illusions

With the help of the mysterious witch, Liu Feng finally escaped from the erosion of the dark power, and Qin Feng and his party were able to take a break temporarily. However, they knew that the conspiracy of the dark sect was far from over. The misty forest was still unfathomable, and a greater crisis seemed to be waiting for them ahead.

After leaving the witch's cabin, Qin Feng and his party continued to move forward in the misty forest. There was a tense atmosphere in the air. Although everyone had just experienced a victory, they still felt uneasy.

"Do you feel anything is wrong?" Ye Li walked in the middle of the team and looked around carefully, "It seems like something is following us."

"Yeah, I feel the same way." Wang Yue nodded, and the Bright Deer in his hand issued a low warning.

"Relax, maybe we are too worried." Chu Tian tried to ease the atmosphere, but he couldn't help but look back frequently. It was obvious that he was not as relaxed as he said.

Qin Feng frowned in thought, holding the Dragon Shadow Sword tightly: "Everyone stay alert, everything here can not be taken lightly."

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from all directions, as if countless small animals were running through the forest. Qin Feng waved his hand, signaling everyone to stop.

"What's that sound?" Zhang Meng asked in a low voice.

"I don't know." Qin Feng responded in a low voice, "But we'd better be prepared for any situation."

At this moment, several dark shadows suddenly appeared in the fog and quickly approached them. Qin Feng immediately took a defensive stance: "Prepare for battle!"

The shadows were getting closer and closer, and finally revealed their true appearance in the mist. They turned out to be a group of wolf-shaped spirit beasts with an evil aura, their eyes emitting a strange red light, their fangs exposed, and they seemed full of hostility.

"What the hell are these?" Chu Tian asked in surprise, "Why have I never seen them before?"

"There is the aura of dark power on them!" Ye Ying observed for a while and said with a serious face.

"Could it be a spirit beast controlled by the dark sect?" Ye Li guessed.

"Maybe, they are using these spirit beasts to stop us." Qin Feng analyzed, "We have to be careful, these spirit beasts are not simple."

The wolf-shaped spirit beasts suddenly growled and took an attacking stance. Qin Feng waved his sword and shouted, "Prepare for battle!"

The battle broke out instantly, and the wolf-shaped spirit beasts pounced on Qin Feng and others like arrows. Chu Tian's Storm Wolf took the lead and swung out with one claw. The thunder-like force hit a spirit beast and repelled it.

"Although these guys are fierce, they don't seem to be very durable." Chu Tian observed for a while and relaxed a little.

Ye Li commanded the frost fox to flexibly shuttle between the wolves. The frost air filled the spirit beasts, freezing several spirit beasts that tried to attack. Zhang Meng's giant rock bear was not to be outdone. It slapped the ground with one palm, creating a crack that trapped several spirit beasts.

"Haha, look at how powerful my Giant Rock Bear is!" Zhang Meng laughed.

However, just when they thought they had won, the wolf-shaped beasts suddenly stopped attacking and took a step back in unison, as if waiting for some order.

"What's going on?" Wang Yue asked puzzledly.

Qin Feng tightly grasped the Dragon Shadow Sword and calmly observed these spirit beasts: "Be careful, I think they may be planning a new attack."

Suddenly, the wolf-shaped spirit beasts raised their heads and howled at the same time, their voices filled with pain and anger. Along with the howling, the surrounding fog suddenly began to surge violently, completely blocking the view.

"Everyone be careful, the fog is getting thicker!" Ye Li warned.

In an instant, Qin Feng felt dizzy, and the scene around him seemed to begin to distort. A whisper came from the fog, as if countless people were whispering in his ears.

"This is an illusion!" Ye Ying suddenly shouted, "Everyone concentrate and don't be confused!"

Qin Feng shook his head, trying to keep himself awake. He turned his head and found that Ye Li's figure seemed to be gradually blurred, as if swallowed by fog.

"Ye Li! Where are you?" Qin Feng shouted.

"I'm here!" Ye Li's voice sounded very far away.

Qin Feng felt his heart tighten. He tried to take a step closer to Ye Li, but each step became extremely heavy, as if he was stuck in a quagmire.

Qin Feng tried to stay calm and forced himself to concentrate. He knew that all of this was an illusion, but these illusions were so real that it was difficult for him to distinguish between the real and the fake.

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in front of Qin Feng's eyes - his sister, Qin Xue. She stood in the mist, wearing her favorite white dress when she was a child, smiling and waving at him.

"Brother, come find me!" Qin Xue's voice was clear and sweet, with a hint of innocence.

"Xue'er?" Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat. He knew this couldn't be true, but everything before his eyes seemed so real.

"Qin Feng! This is not your sister! This is an illusion!" Ye Ying's voice came from a distance.

Qin Feng gritted his teeth and shook his head vigorously: "I know this is not true! You are not Xue'er!"

Qin Xue in the illusion smiled, but suddenly her eyes turned cold: "Brother, why don't you come to me? Didn't you say you would protect me?"

Qin Feng's heart was in turmoil, but he tried to calm down: "No, this is not true! You are not her!"

As Qin Feng shouted, the smile on Qin Xue's face in the illusion gradually distorted and finally disappeared in the fog.

At the same time, the fog around Qin Feng began to dissipate, and the surrounding scene slowly returned to normal. He saw that his companions were also trying to get rid of the control of the hallucination, and they all looked nervous.

"Everyone calm down! Concentrate! These are all illusions!" Qin Feng shouted loudly.

As the fog gradually dissipated, everyone finally got rid of the illusion. They looked at each other, their faces full of surprise and confusion.

"What on earth happened just now?" Zhang Meng asked, panting. "I saw the big black snake that I was most afraid of when I was a child."

"These illusions seem to be created based on our inner fears and desires." Ye Li analyzed, "The methods of the Dark Cult are becoming more and more bizarre."

Night Shadow nodded: "This may be some kind of mind control technique that can amplify people's fears and emotions and create realistic illusions."

"Fortunately, we all made it through." Wang Yue breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest. "I was really scared to death."

"But we can't take it lightly." Qin Feng frowned and said, "This illusion may only be part of the Dark Sect's tactics. They may have more terrifying tricks."

They continued to move forward in the forest, their hearts full of vigilance. Everyone was alert and paid attention to the movements around them, fearing that they would fall into the trap of the illusion again.

After passing through a dense forest, they found an open space in front of them. In the center of the open space stood an ancient stone tablet, which was engraved with ancient runes and exuded a mysterious power.

"What is this?" Chu Tian walked forward curiously and looked at the stone tablet carefully.

Ye Li approached the stone tablet and gently touched the runes on it. Suddenly, she felt a strong fluctuation of spiritual power coming from the stone tablet.

"This stone tablet seems to have some kind of ancient power." Ye Li said.

Yeying nodded: "This may be a mark of some kind of seal. The purpose of the Dark Cult may be to unlock these seals and release the power within."

"Then what should we do?" Zhang Meng asked.

Qin Feng walked forward and carefully observed the runes on the stone tablet. Suddenly, a gleam of inspiration flashed in his eyes: "I seem to have seen these runes in an ancient book. It is an ancient sealing technique."

"Can you untie it?" Wang Yue asked.

Qin Feng nodded: "I can try."

He took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, placed his palm on the stone tablet, and began to chant the ancient spell. As the spell was chanted, the runes on the stone tablet gradually lit up, and a blue light rose from the stone tablet.

"Keep going, Qin Feng! You did it!" Ye Li shouted excitedly.

However, at this moment, the stone tablet suddenly shook, and a dark crack appeared in the surrounding air, and a low laugh came from the crack.

"Hahaha, do you think you can stop us by unlocking the seal?" A cold voice came from the crack, accompanied by a powerful dark force.

"It's the Dark Sect!" Chu Tian shouted.

A powerful energy suddenly surged out of the crack, knocking Qin Feng and the others back. A man in a black robe walked out of the crack with a smug smile on his face.

"How dare you come here? You are really courting death!" sneered the man in black robe.

Qin Feng held the Dragon Shadow Sword tightly, his eyes flashing with determination: "Your conspiracy will not succeed, we will definitely stop you!"

"Then let's try it!" said the man in black robe coldly, and instantly summoned a powerful dark energy to attack Qin Feng and others.

Qin Feng quickly swung his sword to block the dark energy, while Ye Ying quickly attacked the man in black robes. The two men fought in an instant, and the sword light and the dark power collided violently in the air, sparks flying.

"This guy's power should not be underestimated!" Ye Ying shouted, "Everyone be careful!"

Chu Tian and Zhang Meng also joined the battle immediately. Chu Tian's Storm Wolf launched Thunder Claws again, and Zhang Meng's Giant Rock Bear slapped the ground hard, creating a crack and destroying the foothold of the man in black robe.

Ye Li and Wang Yue were responsible for support. The Frost Fox released frost energy to restrict the movements of the man in black robe, while the Light Deer released a healing aura to restore the companions' strength.

The battle gradually became more intense. The black-robed man's attack became more and more fierce. The power of darkness continued to gather around him, as if ready to explode at any time.

"We can't delay any longer!" Qin Feng shouted, "We must win with one strike!"

He concentrated all his strength and raised the Dragon Shadow Sword high. The blue sword energy flickered on the sword and gathered into a powerful energy wave.

"Look at me - Dragon Shadow Slash!" Qin Feng roared and swung his sword towards the man in black robe.

A dazzling blue light burst out instantly and rushed towards the man in black robe. The man in black robe obviously did not expect Qin Feng to have such a powerful force. He hastily used the power of darkness to resist, but was still hit and fell heavily to the ground.

"Well done, Qin Feng!" Ye Li shouted happily.

However, just when they thought they had won, the man in black robe suddenly stood up with a ferocious smile on his face: "You idiots, my power is not something you can easily defeat!"

He laughed loudly, and the dark power in his body burst out again, becoming even stronger than before.

"How is this possible?!" Zhang Meng shouted in shock.

A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Ying's eyes: "Oh no, his strength is absorbing the power of the secret realm!"

The black-robed man's power became stronger and stronger, and the entire Misty Forest seemed to tremble in his dark aura. Qin Feng and others gritted their teeth, knowing that they could not give up this battle easily.

"Don't give up, we still have a chance!" Qin Feng encouraged.

Chu Tian and Zhang Meng looked at each other and revealed a determined look: "We will not give up easily!"

Ye Li and Wang Yue also nodded. They quickly adjusted their state and prepared to face the battle again.

The man in black robe laughed and waved his hands. The dark energy condensed into a huge black sickle in his hands, and slashed towards Qin Feng and the others.

"Get out of the way!" Yeying shouted.

Everyone quickly moved out of the way, but the black-robed man's attack range was extremely wide, and several people were still affected and fell to the ground.

Qin Feng gritted his teeth, stood up, and raised the Dragon Shadow Sword again: "We will not give up!"

Suddenly, his sword began to emit an unprecedented strong blue light, and a new power surged into his body. Qin Feng felt that this power seemed to resonate with the spiritual energy of the secret realm.

"This is... the power of the secret realm!" Qin Feng said in surprise.

"What?" The man in black robe obviously also felt the existence of this power, and his face became solemn.

Qin Feng's eyes were firm, and he decided to inject this power into the Dragon Shadow Sword. He raised the sword high, and the blue light instantly covered the entire battlefield.

"This is the final blow!" Qin Feng shouted, "Everyone, go all out!"

Ye Li, Chu Tian, ​​Wang Yue and Zhang Meng also released their spiritual power at the same time, injecting all their strength into the attack.

"Dragon Shadow Slash - the ultimate form!" Qin Feng roared and swung his sword towards the man in black robe.

The blue light and the dark power collided violently in the air, and the entire battlefield was instantly covered by a strong light. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the final result.

The light gradually dissipated, and the figure of the man in black robe disappeared with it, leaving only a silent misty forest.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, collapsed on the ground, looked at each other, and smiled as if they had survived a disaster.

"We... succeeded?" Chu Tian asked, panting.

Qin Feng nodded, with a relaxed smile on his face: "Yes, we succeeded."

Ye Li smiled and said: "But I think this is just the beginning."

Wang Yue nodded: "Yes, we still have a lot to do."

Yeying looked at everyone and smiled: "But at least, we won today."

Everyone smiled. They knew that the road ahead would still be full of challenges, but as long as they united as one, nothing could stop them.
