Autobiography of Li Yunfei, a time traveler

Chapter 286 Dark Creatures and Marks

After experiencing the thrilling battle in the castle, Li Yunfei and his companions returned to the town with full of doubts and worries. The night in the town was quiet and peaceful, and the moonlight sprinkled on the streets, exuding a faint silver glow. But everyone felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on their hearts, and they could not enjoy this tranquility.

Li Yunfei sat in the room, the candlelight flickering, reflecting his furrowed brows. He held the mysterious letter tightly in his hand, trying to find more clues from the distorted text. The occasional chirping of insects outside the window made the silence in the room even more evident.

Lin Yue was in her magic study, flipping through ancient magic books one after another. The pages of the books had turned yellow, exuding an old smell. Her eyes were focused and eager, hoping to find a way to fight against the dark forces from these ancient knowledge.

Zhang Hao was in his yard, wiping his spear over and over again. The tip of the spear flashed a cold light in the moonlight, but his thoughts drifted back to the fierce scene of the battle, and he secretly vowed to be more brave next time.

Feng Yu stood on the roof, looking at the starry sky, the flame looming in her palm. The breeze blew through her hair, her eyes were full of worry about the unknown and desire for power improvement.

Mo Ying patrolled alone on the edge of the town, his figure blending into the darkness, only his sharp eyes vigilantly observing the movements around him.

The next morning, the sun shone in every corner of the town, but it could not dispel the haze in people's hearts. Li Yunfei called everyone to gather in the meeting hall again.

"We must find out the conspiracy behind this as soon as possible. We can't passively take the beating anymore." Li Yunfei's voice was firm and powerful.

Lin Yue nodded. "I looked through many books last night and found some ancient legends about dark magic. Maybe they can provide us with some clues."

Zhang Hao stood up and said, "No matter what, we must be prepared to fight."

Feng Yu folded his arms across his chest, "I will work hard to increase my fire power in case of emergency."

Mo Ying remained silent, but his firm eyes showed his determination.

Just then, a soldier came running over and said, "Sir, some strange signs were found outside the city."

Li Yunfei and others immediately stood up and walked out of the city.

In a forest outside the city, the branches and leaves of the trees were strangely twisted, and there were some strange symbols and traces on the ground.

Lin Yue walked forward and observed the symbols carefully. "This is a mark of dark magic. It seems that some kind of evil ritual has been performed here."

Li Yunfei's expression became more serious. "Continue searching and see if you can find more clues."

Everyone dispersed and searched carefully in the woods.

Zhang Hao found some broken clothes and weapons. "These seem to be things of other adventurers. Did they also encounter misfortune?"

Feng Yu found a hidden cave entrance under a big tree, "Everyone come!"

Everyone gathered around and looked at the dark cave, their hearts filled with vigilance.

Li Yunfei was the first to walk into the cave, followed by the others. The cave was filled with a damp and decayed smell, and a strange light flickered on the walls.

"Watch your step," Lin Yue reminded.

Suddenly, a low roar came from deep in the cave.

"Get ready for battle!" Li Yunfei shouted.

Everyone clenched their weapons and looked ahead nervously.

I saw a huge dark creature slowly walking out of the shadows. Its body was huge, covered with sharp spikes, and its eyes were flashing blood-red light.

Li Yunfei rushed forward without hesitation, and his sword slashed on the dark creature, splashing sparks.

Zhang Hao’s spear followed closely behind, stabbing at the dark creature’s leg.

Lin Yue cast a spell, and rays of light shot towards the dark creatures.

Feng Yu waved his hands, and the flames turned into a fire dragon, rushing towards the dark creature.

Mo Ying was looking for the weaknesses of the dark creatures in the darkness.

The dark creature waved its claws angrily, sweeping towards everyone.

Li Yunfei was knocked out and hit the wall heavily.

"Li Yunfei!" Lin Yue exclaimed.

Zhang Hao roared and attacked the dark creatures even more fiercely.

The flames of Feng Yu continued to burn the body of the dark creature.

Mo Ying finally discovered the dark creature's weakness. He flashed and stabbed the dark creature's eyes with his short blade.

The dark creature roared in pain and fell to the ground.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew that this was just the tip of the iceberg.

Continuing to go deeper into the cave, they found a huge magic circle.

"What kind of magic circle is this?" Zhang Hao asked.

Lin Yue walked forward and studied it carefully. "This is an extremely powerful dark magic circle. It seems that they are planning a huge conspiracy."

At this moment, the magic circle suddenly activated, and a powerful dark force swept in.

Everyone was enveloped by the power of darkness and fell into trouble.

"Everyone hold on!" Li Yunfei shouted.

Lin Yue tried hard to cast magic, trying to resist the erosion of dark forces.

Zhang Hao and Feng Yu also tried their best to resist this powerful pressure.

Mo Ying was looking for a way to break through in the darkness.

After a hard struggle, they finally found the flaw in the magic circle and successfully broke free from the shackles of the dark power.

"We must destroy this magic circle!" Li Yunfei said.

Everyone attacked together, and the magic circle gradually collapsed under their combined strength.

When the magic circle was completely destroyed, the cave began to shake violently and seemed about to collapse.

"Run!" Li Yunfei shouted loudly.

Everyone ran towards the cave exit.

Behind them, the already crumbling cave seemed to be being kneaded by an invisible giant hand, making a series of heart-pounding roars. Along with the deafening sound, countless huge rocks fell from the top of the cave like raindrops, as if the end of the world had come. Each rock carried a deadly threat, and when it hit the ground, it splashed up dust all over the sky, making it almost impossible to breathe.

However, Li Yunfei and his companions were not frightened by this horrific scene. They gritted their teeth and ran forward with all their might, with only one thought in mind: they must get out alive! As time passed, the cave collapsed faster and faster, and the distance between them and the exit was gradually shortening. At the critical moment, they finally managed to escape from the cave that was about to be completely buried.

When the sun shone on them again, Li Yunfei and the others sat on the ground, breathing heavily, feeling relieved. Although they were extremely exhausted, they did not relax at all. Because they knew that this adventure was just the tip of the iceberg, and the truth behind it might be much more complicated and terrifying than they could imagine.

Li Yunfei stood up slowly. His eyes swept over the faces of each of his companions, and he saw the same solemn expression on their faces. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The conspiracy behind this is far more complicated and terrible than we imagined. But no matter what, we can't back down. We must continue to investigate until all the mysteries are solved." After hearing his words, everyone nodded in agreement, with a firm light flashing in their eyes. At this moment, their trust and determination in each other became even more indestructible.

"But we will never back down and will definitely protect our home and the world," said Zhang Hao.

In the following days, they trained harder and prepared to meet the greater challenges that were coming...
