Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

As the sun shines on the earth again, the dissipation of black energy gradually dissipates the oppressive feeling in the air. Zhang Meng clapped his hands and said triumphantly: "Done! It seems that I have saved the world again."

"You are always so confident." Ye Li smiled slightly, bent her bow and drew her arrow, always on guard. "But your impulsive action was successful this time."

"Hey, success relies on intuition!" Zhang Meng puffed out his chest proudly, as if he had already seen the medal of honor shining on his head.

"Intuition?" Li Xiao glanced at him coldly, with obvious suspicion in his eyes. "If we rely on your 'intuition' every time, we would have been eaten by monsters long ago."

Zhang Meng shrugged with a smile, "You have a point. But fortunately, we are all still alive and well."

Qin Feng stood aside, quietly observing the energy field that had just collapsed. He frowned, as if he was still thinking about something. Although the dark power in front of him was disintegrated, he felt that things were far from over.

"Qin Feng, what's wrong? You don't look happy." Chu Tian walked to him and asked with concern.

"I'm not sure." Qin Feng frowned, his eyes solemn, "Although we destroyed this force, I always feel that there is a bigger conspiracy behind it. The energy fluctuations in this area are still unstable."

"Still unstable?" Ye Li also seemed a little confused, "But we have solved the source."

"Perhaps we have only destroyed part of it." Qin Feng said slowly, "There may be a deeper power hidden behind this, and we haven't fully figured it out yet."

"You mean, this isn't the end yet?" Zhang Meng's eyes widened in surprise. "I thought we had it all figured out!"

"This is just the surface." Qin Feng's tone remained calm, "We must investigate carefully to ensure that nothing is missed."

While they were discussing, suddenly, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from a distance, breaking the quiet atmosphere. Several people immediately became alert and turned to look at the source of the sound.

On the hillside not far away, a messenger on horseback was running towards them quickly, raising a cloud of dust behind him. The messenger was wearing a black cloak that fluttered in the wind, looking particularly mysterious.

"Another mysterious person." Zhang Meng narrowed his eyes, "What good news will it be this time?"

"It's best to stay alert." Li Xiao said coldly, "The person who comes may not have good intentions."

The messenger quickly came to the front of the few people and pulled the reins. The horse was panting heavily, obviously galloping all the way. The messenger turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly towards Qin Feng, his eyes revealing tension and urgency.

"You are Qin Feng and his group, right?" the messenger said breathlessly, "I have important news that I must tell you right away."

"What news?" Qin Feng asked in a deep voice, his eyes full of caution.

The messenger reached out and took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Qin Feng. "This letter is urgently sent from the capital, from the palace. Your mission is not over yet. The royal family hopes that you will go to the capital immediately. A greater crisis is waiting for you."

"A bigger crisis?" Zhang Meng raised his eyebrows. "We just solved one, and now there is another one?"

Qin Feng took the letter, glanced at it quickly, and his expression became more serious. "It seems that things are much more complicated than we thought."

"What's going on?" Ye Li asked impatiently.

Qin Feng raised his head and said in a low but firm voice: "According to the contents of the letter, there have been several mysterious disappearances in the kingdom recently, and the situation is very similar to what we just experienced. The royal family suspects that a greater dark force is slowly eroding the entire kingdom."

"A greater dark force?" Chu Tian frowned. "That doesn't sound good."

"That's why the royal family is so eager to summon us." Qin Feng continued, "What we faced before may just be the tip of the iceberg. The real enemy has not yet appeared."

"That means we have to leave for the capital right away?" Zhang Meng looked at Qin Feng, seeming a little reluctant. "I was thinking of taking another day off."

"We don't have much time to rest." Li Xiao said coldly, "If it's true as the letter says, we have no time to waste."

"Messenger, do you know more details?" Qin Feng asked, wanting to get more information from this seemingly ordinary messenger.

The messenger shook his head. "I only know the urgency of delivering the message. More and more people are missing, and nobles and civilians in and outside the capital are all affected. The king has ordered that we must find the truth behind this as soon as possible."

"It seems that this time it's not just a monster, but a crisis for the entire kingdom." Ye Li said thoughtfully, "We have to act quickly."

Qin Feng nodded and put the letter away. "We will set off immediately to the capital."

Zhang Meng sighed, "Well, it seems that rest is a luxury."

"Don't worry, you can rest longer after we save the kingdom." Chu Tian patted Zhang Meng's shoulder and smiled.

"I hope so." Zhang Meng said with a wry smile, "But then again, isn't there a lot of delicious food in the capital?"

"You only know how to eat." Li Xiao shook his head helplessly.

"Hey, maintaining physical strength is the key to fighting." Zhang Meng said seriously, "and eating is the best way to maintain physical strength!"

Several people quickly got ready and prepared to follow the messenger to the capital. They knew that this mission would be more difficult and more complicated. The threat of the dark power was not limited to this forest, it had spread to the entire kingdom.

"Be careful on the road." The messenger finally reminded, "The dark forces may have infiltrated every corner of the capital. You may encounter enemies at any time."

"Don't worry, we will be ready." Qin Feng responded calmly, "No force can stop us."

As they mounted their horses, Zhang Meng patted Qin Feng on the shoulder and said, "I still feel a little excited. Will we encounter more interesting things on the way to the capital?"

"I hope the 'interesting' things you encounter are good things." Qin Feng smiled, but his eyes remained serious.

"Well, at least my intuition is with you this time." Zhang Meng said with a big laugh, then he spurred his horse forward and led the team to gallop towards the direction of the royal capital.

As they left, the atmosphere in the dark forest gradually returned to peace, but everyone knew that this peace was just a brief calm before the storm. The real test was waiting for their arrival.

And this time, the shadow of darkness will be deeper than ever before.
