Chapter 1583

Finally, they chose to force their way through!

Huh!

After a long trek through the mountains and forests, Huo Jilin led the way, followed closely by Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan and Lin Zhou.

The trees around were towering into the sky, with branches and leaves intertwined, almost completely blocking the sunlight.

Huo Jilin had a firm gaze, constantly observing the surrounding environment, looking for the best path through the gap between the boulders.

His forehead was covered with beads of sweat, but the peach wood sword in his hand was always tightly held.

"Everyone follow carefully, pay attention to the stones and branches under your feet." Huo Jilin reminded the three people behind him loudly.

Hu Bayi panted and said, "This road is really difficult to walk, Brother Huo, you have to lead the way."

Wang Kaixuan wiped his sweat and complained, "If I had known it was so difficult, I wouldn't have come."

Lin Zhou was silent and focused on following the team forward.

Huo Jilin looked back at Wang Kaixuan and said, "Brother Wang, stop complaining. We will be out soon."

After an hour of hard work, everyone finally came to another boulder.

The gap between the boulders was narrow and dark, and looked very dangerous.

Huo Jilin took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, come one by one, follow me closely."

He was the first to squeeze into the gap sideways, moving his feet carefully.

Hu Bayi followed closely, and Wang Kaixuan and Lin Zhou also entered in turn.

The gap was filled with a damp smell, and the moss on the stone wall made the road more slippery.

Huo Jilin supported his body with a peach wood sword and moved forward with difficulty.

"Everyone, be careful of your head!" Huo Jilin suddenly shouted.

A loose stone fell from above, and Hu Bayi quickly sideways to avoid it.

"That's close!" Hu Bayi said.

Finally, under the leadership of Huo Jilin, everyone successfully passed through the gap between the boulders and walked out of the forest.

Just when they breathed a sigh of relief, a sharp cry suddenly came from the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw a strange eagle falling from the sky, opening its sharp claws and rushing towards them.

Huo Jilin reacted quickly. He formed seals with his hands and muttered something. A powerful Taoist power surged out of his body.

"Monster, don't be so presumptuous!" Huo Jilin shouted.

The Taoist power turned into a ray of light and shot at the strange eagle.

The strange eagle tried to dodge, but was still hit by the light and fell to the ground with a scream.

Huo Jilin walked forward and ended the life of the strange eagle with a peach wood sword.

"Okay, let's move on." Huo Jilin said.

Then, he took the other three to a bamboo forest.

This bamboo forest was vast and boundless, with tall and straight green bamboos. The breeze blew and the bamboo leaves rustled.

Everyone walked into the depths of the bamboo forest. The ground under their feet was covered with thick bamboo leaves, and every step made a slight sound.

"This bamboo forest is really big. We won't get lost, right?" Wang Kaixuan said with some concern.

Huo Jilin comforted: "Don't worry, follow me."

As they walked, they suddenly found a strange scene in front of them.

In an open space, countless precious agates and green crystals were placed, shining charmingly under the sunlight.

"Wow, so many treasures!" Wang Kaixuan ran over excitedly.

Hu Bayi quickly grabbed him: "Be careful of fraud."

Huo Jilin carefully observed the surroundings and said: "Everyone be careful, this may not appear by chance."

At this moment, a sinister laugh suddenly came from all around.

"Hahaha, you greedy guys, since you are here, don't even think about leaving!"

Everyone was shocked and looked around vigilantly.

Hu Bayi said in a deep voice: "Who is this evildoer? Come out if you dare!"

At this time, a black shadow slowly walked out of the bamboo forest. He was wearing a black robe and his face was covered by the shadow, so his true appearance could not be seen clearly.

"Humph, you dare to be so arrogant when you break into my territory." The black shadow said coldly.

Huo Jilin took a step forward, holding the peach wood sword tightly in his hand, and said: "You set a trap here, what exactly do you want?"

The black shadow sneered: "You are worthy of these treasures? Today is your death day."

Wang Kaixuan said angrily: "Don't play tricks here, have the guts to fight with real swords and guns!"

The black shadow waved his hands, and a black mist suddenly surged around, quickly attacking everyone.

Huo Jilin shouted: "Everyone be careful, this mist is poisonous!"

As he said, he took out a few talisman papers from his arms, chanted something, and the talisman papers instantly burned, forming a barrier to block the mist out.

Lin Zhou said nervously: "What should we do?"

Hu Bayi's eyes were firm: "Don't be afraid, let's find a way to deal with it together."

The black shadow saw that the fog was not working, so he launched an attack again. He waved his hands, and countless bamboo branches shot at everyone like sharp arrows.Shooting at him.

Huo Jilin waved his peach wood sword and shot down the bamboo branches.

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan also picked up their weapons to resist the attack.

"This is not a solution. We must take the initiative to attack." Huo Jilin said.

Hu Bayi nodded: "Lao Wang and I will attract his attention from the front, and you and Lin Zhou will take the opportunity to attack from the side."

Everyone reached an agreement, and Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan rushed towards the black shadow with a loud roar.

The black shadow said disdainfully: "You are overestimating yourself."

Just as the black shadow was concentrating on dealing with Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, Huo Jilin and Lin Zhou quietly approached from the side.

Huo Jilin saw the right opportunity and stabbed the black shadow with the peach wood sword.

The black shadow sensed the danger and dodged sideways, but his arm was still scratched.

"Ah!" The black shadow roared, "You bunch of ants, how dare you hurt me."

Hu Bayi took the opportunity to say: "If you have the ability, don't hide, fight openly."

The black shadow was angry and burst out with a strong breath, and the surrounding bamboos were shaken by this breath.

"Since you want to die, then I will grant you your wish."

The black shadow put his hands together and muttered something, and a huge black vortex formed above his head.

Huo Jilin's face changed drastically: "No, this is evil magic, everyone retreat quickly."

However, it was too late. A black light shot out from the black vortex and attacked everyone directly.

At this critical moment, Lin Zhou suddenly stepped forward, and he didn't know when he had a jade pendant in his hand.

The jade pendant emitted a dazzling light and collided with the black light.

"Bang!" With a loud noise, the powerful impact knocked everyone to the ground.

The shadow looked at Lin Zhou in surprise: "You kid, you actually have such a treasure."

Lin Zhou panted and said: "This is a jade pendant passed down from my family. It can ward off evil spirits. Even if I risk my life today, I will not let you succeed."

Huo Jilin stood up and said: "Everyone, come together. Don't let him have a chance to breathe."

Everyone rushed towards the shadow again and started a fierce fight with him.

The shadow gradually lost the upper hand, and his moves became messy.

"I won't let you go!" The shadow roared for the last time, and then turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.

Wang Kaixuan panted and said: "Oh my God, I am exhausted."

Hu Bayi looked at the jade pendant in Lin Zhou's hand: "Thanks to this jade pendant, otherwise we would be in danger today."
