Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

Qin Feng and his companions were sitting in the meeting room of the Soul Master Academy. The atmosphere was subtle and tense. Chu Tian was pinching his fingers, Ye Li was secretly looking at Qin Feng from time to time, and Zhang Meng was looking out the window, wondering what he was thinking. Wang Yue was concentrating on organizing her notes. Qin Feng looked at the task scroll in front of him helplessly.

"I say, isn't the academy's mission this time a bit too weird?" Qin Feng broke the silence, raised the scroll in his hand, with a subtle expression on his face.

"What mission?" Chu Tian came over curiously, "Let me see."

Qin Feng unfolded the scroll and read: "Go to Maple Leaf Village to find the missing treasure 'Pearl of the Netherworld'. Note: This mission is extremely dangerous, it is recommended to be fully prepared."

Chu Tian frowned: "Pearl of the Netherworld? It sounds like it's quite valuable."

Ye Li rolled her eyes, "Chu Tian, ​​you only care about money, can you be a little more ambitious?"

"Hey, this is very important! Maybe I can exchange it for a lot of soul coins!" Chu Tian responded with a grin.

Zhang Meng suddenly interrupted, "But why do we have to go to that Maple Leaf Village? Isn't that a particularly dangerous place? I've heard that the place is said to be cursed and no one has been there for a long time."

Qin Feng nodded, "Yes, it is said that no one dared to approach Maple Leaf Village since a mysterious disaster occurred a hundred years ago. The appearance of the Nether Pearl there is probably not simple."

Wang Yue had been listening silently, and now she expressed her opinion, "Since the college asked us to go, it means they can't handle it. We have to be careful."

Everyone looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy. Although they had experienced many missions before, this one felt particularly strange.

"Okay, everyone, don't be sad." Qin Feng clapped his hands, "When the enemy comes, we will fight him with our troops, and when the water comes, we will block it with earth. Let's get ready and set off early tomorrow morning."

The next morning, the team set out. After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at the outskirts of Maple Leaf Village. A strange atmosphere filled the air around the village, and the mist seemed to be telling of the mystery and danger here.

"This place is really eerie." Chu Tian shuddered, "I feel a chill on my back."

"That's because you didn't cover yourself properly last night." Ye Li mercilessly exposed his cowardice, "I really don't know how you became a spirit master."

"Hey! I'm just trying to liven up the atmosphere." Chu Tian muttered, trying to hide his embarrassment.

Zhang Meng looked around and asked, "Do you feel that there seems to be a strange force pulling us here?"

Qin Feng nodded, "Yes, I felt it too. Everyone be careful and stay alert."

The team slowly walked into the village and found that it was indeed desolate and dilapidated as the rumors said. The streets were overgrown with weeds and the houses were dilapidated, looking like they had been through thousands of years of wind and frost.

"Where is the bead?" Chu Tian scratched his head and looked around.

Just at this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew, and several ghost shadows emerged from the fog and slowly approached them.

"Ghost? This is not in the mission description!" Zhang Meng exclaimed and quickly assumed a defensive posture.

Qin Feng waved the Dragon Shadow Sword in his hand, and the sword instantly flashed with blue lightning. "Everyone, pay attention, don't panic, let's test it first."

The ghost laughed in a low voice, and the eerie voice echoed in the surroundings. "You intruders, how dare you disturb our peace? Prepare to be punished!"

"Oh, so I thought you would welcome us here as guests!" Chu Tian replied unyieldingly.

Qin Feng chuckled and took a fighting stance, "Since they don't welcome us, let's make them 'lively'."

Following Qin Feng's command, the team quickly took action. Chu Tian's Storm Wolf flexibly shuttled between the ghosts, tearing those shadows with the power of thunder; Ye Li's Frost Fox released cold air to freeze the approaching ghosts; Zhang Meng's Giant Rock Bear stood in front and blocked the ghosts' attacks with his strong body; Wang Yue used her Light Deer to provide healing support to ensure everyone's safety.

The battle was extremely fierce, but Qin Feng and his team gradually gained the upper hand. Suddenly, Qin Feng noticed a special ghost, whose eyes flashed a strange red light, which was out of tune with the other ghosts.

"There's something wrong with that ghost shadow. It may be the key!" Qin Feng reminded loudly.

Ye Li reacted immediately, concentrating all her spiritual power and releasing a powerful freezing spell on the ghost. As the cold air came, the red-eyed ghost's movements slowed down, revealing a trace of panic.

"Good opportunity! Go!" Qin Feng rushed forward without hesitation, and the Dragon Shadow Sword slashed at the ghost like lightning. At the moment the sword flashed, the ghost let out a shrill scream and then dissipated into the air.

As the red-eyed ghost disappeared, the other ghosts gradually disappeared as well, as if they had never existed. The village returned to silence, leaving only the rustling of leaves in the breeze.

"Great! It seems we have killed the leader." Chu Tian breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Ye Li analyzed calmly, "This may just be the beginning. That ghost figure is obviously protecting something."

Qin Feng nodded, "That's right, let's keep looking, the Nether Pearl must be nearby."

After searching for a while, they found a secret passage leading underground in an abandoned temple in the village. Qin Feng walked in front, raised the Dragon Shadow Sword, and the light from the sword illuminated the road ahead.

"This place is really spooky." Chu Tian muttered softly, "I hope we don't encounter anything worse."

Ye Li glanced at him and said, "Don't be such a pessimist."

They walked down the secret passage and gradually came to a spacious underground hall. In the center of the hall, there was an altar with a bead emitting a faint blue light on it. It was the Netherworld Bead.

"Found it!" Qin Feng said excitedly, "Be careful, there may be traps around."

However, just as he finished speaking, several black shadows suddenly shot out from the walls around the altar and rushed towards Qin Feng. He quickly swung his sword to block, but the black shadows were so fast that one or two of them still broke through his defense.

At the critical moment, Wang Yue's Light Deer released a shield of light and successfully blocked the attack of the black shadow.

"It seems that we have really encountered a tough opponent this time." Zhang Meng said in a deep voice.

Qin Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Yeah, it seems that this bead is really hard to get."

Just as they were preparing to face a new wave of attacks, a cold voice rang out, "Brave young men, you have passed the test, and you can take the Nether Pearl with you."

Everyone looked back in surprise and saw a white-haired old man walking out of the darkness, his eyes deep and mysterious.

"Who are you?" Qin Feng asked vigilantly.

"I am the guardian of this land, and the Pearl of the Underworld is a relic of this land. It was once used by evil and brought endless disasters. You have proved your courage and wisdom, and I believe you will not let the tragedy happen again." The old man said with a smile.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Qin Feng nodded solemnly, "We will keep it properly and will never let it fall into the hands of the wrong people."

The old man nodded with satisfaction, and then his figure gradually blurred and finally disappeared into the air.

"Okay, our mission is accomplished. Let's take the beads back quickly." Chu Tian said excitedly.

Ye Li smiled gently, "This mission is really thrilling, but also quite interesting."

Zhang Meng and Wang Yue nodded in agreement, while Qin Feng raised the Netherworld Pearl, feeling the strange energy it emitted. He silently made up his mind that no matter how many dangers there would be in the future, he and his companions would face them bravely.

After returning to the academy, Qin Feng and his team received a warm welcome and praise. Although this mission was more dangerous than expected, it was also more interesting and everyone felt deeply satisfied.

"I think our adventure has just begun." Chu Tian said with a smile.

Qin Feng nodded, "Yes, we still have a long way to go."

Everyone was laughing. What awaited them were more challenges and adventures, but they were fearless because they were the best team.
