Chapter 857: Scam
The stone door slowly opened, and a cold breath came to his face. Lin Feng was the first to step in, only to see a vast square, standing tall towers, the top of the tower hovering black mist, giving people a sense of depression.
In the center of the square, a huge black hourglass suspended in the air, which was exactly the anti-time hourglass they were looking for.
"That's the hourglass!" Xiao Ya exclaimed, her eyes flashing with determination. Xia Jin clenched the weapon in his hand, his eyes locked on the hourglass, and prepared for the upcoming decisive battle.
"Everyone, the goal is to go against the hourglass, go all out!" Lin Feng let out a low snort and took the lead in rushing towards the hourglass.
Xiao Ya, Xia Jin, and the team members followed, each showing their magic skills and fighting fiercely with the members of the Shadow Alliance who poured out along the way.
"Who's that kid? How easily we can break through our defenses! A passer-by member of the Shadow Alliance was shocked when he looked at Lin Feng's figure as if he had entered a no-man's land.
"I heard that he is a rookie of the Extraordinary Affairs Bureau, and his strength is extraordinary." Another member responded, his eyes mixed with fear and admiration.
On the square, the battle was in full swing, and Lin Feng and the others were overwhelmed, approaching the hourglass. However, at this moment, a black shadow suddenly rose from the hourglass, and with the howling wind, an old man in a black robe with a gloomy face appeared in front of everyone, it was none other than the leader of the Shadow Alliance, Obsidian.
"Juniors of the Transcendental Bureau, do you think you can stop me with this little strength?" Obsidian sneered, the black qi around his body rolled, and the strong sense of oppression made people's hearts palpitate.
"Obsidian, you have killed innocents, abused the hourglass to disrupt the order of time and space, today is your end!" Lin Feng did not show weakness, his sword pointed at obsidian, and he was full of pride.
"Haha, ignorant child, let's see the true power!" Obsidian laughed wildly, and with a wave of his hand, countless dark elements converged into a huge black crow, which rushed straight to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's eyes lit up, the long sword swung out, and the golden sword qi soared into the air like a dragon, colliding fiercely with the black crow. The two forces clashed, the heavens and the earth changed color, and the buildings in the square crumbled in the shock wave.
"Captain Lin Feng, come on! We believe in you! Xiao Ya, Xia Jin and the other team members cheered loudly while resisting the enemies around them, their eyes full of trust and expectation for Lin Feng.
"You guys, you're just going to get in the way!" Obsidian roared angrily, manipulating the crows to increase their offensive against Lin Feng.
However, with his tenacious will and strong strength, Lin Feng stubbornly blocked this blow, and his sword qi broke through the black crow and stabbed the black obsidian.
Obsidian was forced to retract the crow's defenses, and the two fought in close combat, sword qi and dark elements intertwined, forming a magnificent battle picture.
The onlookers of the Shadow Alliance and the members of the Transcendent Bureau all held their breath and fixed their eyes on this fateful showdown.
"It's unbelievable that this kid can fight with Obsidian-sama!" A member of the Shadow Alliance was dumbfounded, shocked by Lin Feng's strength.
"Captain Lin Feng is too strong! He'll be able to defeat Obsidian! The members of the Extraordinary Affairs Bureau were enthusiastic and cheered for Lin Feng.
The fierce battle was in full swing, and the figures of Lin Feng and Obsidian loomed in the brilliant sword qi and dark elements. Suddenly, Lin Feng's eyes flashed, and the long sword in his hand burst out with unprecedented light, a stunt
"Breaking the Cloud Slash" smashed the yellow dragon and stabbed at the obsidian.
"How is that possible?!" Obsidian was horrified and felt a deadly threat. He tried his best to urge the dark elemental to resist, however, Lin Feng's sword qi was like the light of dawn, piercing through the darkness and penetrating through obsidian's chest.
"Ahh
There was a dead silence in the square, and everyone watched the scene in a daze. Lin Feng put away his sword and stood, proudly looking down at the obsidian who had fallen to the ground, and announced the victory of this decisive battle.
"Captain Lin Feng, you did it!" Xiao Ya and Xia Jin rushed forward and hugged Lin Feng excitedly, tears sliding down their cheeks.
"We succeeded! The hourglass against time was saved! The team cheered and hugged each other in celebration.
However, at this moment, a weak voice sounded: "You are rejoicing too soon......" Everyone heard the voice, only to see Obsidian raise his hand with difficulty, pointing to the hourglass.
The black crystals on the surface of the hourglass began to spin wildly, and a terrifying wave of energy erupted from it.
"Oh no, the hourglass is about to collapse!" Lin Feng's face changed drastically, and he realized that Obsidian had activated some kind of self-destruction mechanism before he died.
"We have to stop it!" Lin Feng let out a loud shout, regardless of his injuries, and rushed towards the hourglass against time. Xiao Ya, Xia Jin and the team members followed, they understood that if they couldn't prevent the hourglass from collapsing, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Captain Lin Feng, look, there seems to be some kind of mechanism at the bottom of the hourglass!" Xia Jin's eyes were sharp and he found the key.
Lin Feng's gaze froze, and he quickly came to the bottom of the hourglass, and sure enough, he saw a switch inlaid with complex runes.
He took a deep breath and didn't hesitate to flip the switch.
"Hum-" The hourglass let out a low hum, the speed of rotation gradually slowed down, and the terrifying energy fluctuations also tended to subside.
"It worked! We stopped the crash of the hourglass against time! Xiao Ya cried with joy and held Lin Feng's hand tightly.
Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the counter-hourglass, his eyes flashing with determination: "We must properly deal with the anti-hourglass to prevent it from falling into the hands of evil again." ”
"Captain Lin Feng, what should we do next?" Xia Jin asked, and everyone also looked at Lin Feng, waiting for his decision.
Lin Feng's gaze swept over everyone, and he said in a deep voice: "We will bring the Hourglass back to the Transcendent Affairs Bureau, and the top experts will study its structure and principles, and at the same time strengthen the protective measures to ensure that it will never become a threat again." ”
"Understood, Captain Lin Feng!" The team members responded in unison, their eyes burning with fighting spirit and hope. On the way back, Lin Feng and his party carefully escorted the hourglass against time, although the crisis just now had been resolved, they knew that the methods of the Shadow Alliance were endless, and they did not dare to relax in the slightest.
Lin Feng walked at the front of the team, vigilantly observing the surrounding environment, while Xiao Ya, Xia Jin and other team members were distributed around the hourglass against time, forming a tight protective net.
Suddenly, a gust of yin wind blew, and Lin Feng's heart tightened, and he sensed a familiar evil aura in the air.
"There's an ambush!" He whispered a warning, and before his words fell, a group of members of the Shadow Alliance dressed in black and wearing ghostly masks emerged in the dense forest around him, armed with all kinds of weapons, and surrounded Lin Feng and his party with murderous aura.
"Lin Feng, I didn't expect you to come out of the headquarters alive, but your good luck ends here!" A cold voice sounded, and out of the crowd came a sturdy woman, who was none other than the deputy leader of the Shadow Alliance, Violet.
"Ziluo, you're dying!" Lin Feng's eyes were like torches, and the long sword in his hand was ready to attack,
"The hourglass has fallen into our hands, and your Shadow Alliance's ambitions will be shattered." Zi Luo sneered: "Hourglass against time? Do you think you really have control over it? To tell you the truth, that hourglass is just a decoy, and the real anti-time hourglass has long been diverted by us. And what you're escorting now is just an empty shell. Lin Feng's heart was shocked, he looked at the hourglass, only to see that the black crystals on its surface were dim at the moment, as if he had lost his life.
He turned his head to look at the team and saw that their faces were equally full of shock and bewilderment.
"Ziluo, you are despicable!" Xiao Ya scolded angrily, the staff in her hand glowed with dazzling light, ready to fight.
"Hmph, how can you say that you are despicable?" Violet dismissed, she raised her hand and the members of the Shadow Alliance attacked, and a fierce battle was staged again in the dense forest.
Lin Feng, Xiao Ya, Xia Jin and others struggled to resist, but the news of the robbery of the hourglass against time made them frustrated, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
The Shadow Alliance took advantage of the opportunity to press on step by step, and the situation gradually turned against them. At this moment, a familiar figure appeared at the edge of the dense forest, and Feng Qingwei held an emerald staff in his hand, stepping on the moonlight.
Her eyes fell on Zi Luo, and she said coldly: "Zi Luo, the evil deeds of your Shadow Alliance have been made clear to the world, and today, I will not let you succeed again." Zi Luo's face changed slightly when she saw Feng Qingqing, but she quickly regained her composure and sneered: "Feng Qingqing, although you are the guardian of the transcendent realm, what can you do with your own strength?" Feng Qingshi didn't speak, she waved her staff slightly, and the ripples of emerald energy instantly spread, defusing all the attacks of the Shadow Alliance.
Then, with a flicker, she appeared in front of Shiro, her staff pointed straight at her throat. Violet Luo was stunned and hurriedly retreated to dodge, but the speed of the wind light was far beyond her imagination, and the emerald green energy followed her like a shadow, locking Violet firmly.
Zi Luo tried his best to resist, but he could not get rid of the suppression of the wind light.
"Captain Lin Feng, you guys go quickly! Leave it to me here! The light voice of the wind sounded in Lin Feng's ears, and he looked at her determined eyes, and his heart swelled with deep gratitude.
"Wind lightweight, thank you!" Lin Feng responded in a deep voice, he knew that this was not the time to hesitate. He quickly organized the team members to protect the hourglass and broke through.
"The wind is light, you dare to stop me from doing big things, I want you to pay the price!" Violet roared angrily and fought back with all his might.
However, the light face of the wind was not afraid of color, and the emerald green staff danced like the wind, defusing Violet's attack one by one.
"Shiro, your time is over." The wind said lightly, and the emerald green energy converged into a brilliant beam of light, which shot directly at Violet.
Zi Luo was terrified, but he couldn't escape, and was finally hit by a beam of light, and his body instantly dissipated into the night.
Lin Feng and his party took advantage of this opportunity to successfully escape from the encirclement of the Shadow Alliance. With an hourglass in hand, they galloped through the dense forest in the direction of the Transcendental Bureau.
"Captain Lin Feng, what should we do now?" Xia Jin asked worriedly. Lin Feng stared at the anti-time hourglass in his hand, and his eyes flashed with determination: "We must find the real anti-time hourglass as soon as possible to stop the conspiracy of the Shadow Alliance." At the same time, expose their tricks and let the world know the truth. "Although Lin Feng and his party successfully escaped from the Shadow Alliance headquarters, they suffered heavy losses.
The truth of the hourglass was like a bolt from the blue, causing everyone to fall into deep confusion and anger. They understand that the top priority at this moment is not only to recover the true hourglass, but also to expose the cunning and evil of the Shadow Alliance, so that the world can see its true colors.
"Xiaoya, Xia Jin, you immediately contact the headquarters, report the situation here in detail, and request reinforcements." Lin Feng's face was grim, and he decisively gave an order,
"Rest of you, join me in searching the area for any clues that might be related to the hourglass." The team members acted quickly, and Lin Feng led a part of them deep into the dense forest, meticulously searching for every suspicious place.
Xiao Ya and Xia Jin used communication equipment to anxiously contact the Extraordinary Affairs Bureau, detailing major events such as the reversal of the hourglass, the reversal of the tide by Feng Qingji, and the defeat of Ziluo.
"Captain Lin Feng, the headquarters has received our news and is urgently mobilizing resources and sending an elite task force to support." Xiaoya hurriedly ran over, looking nervous,
"At the same time, they instructed us to be vigilant, as the Shadow Alliance may have other followers." Lin Feng nodded slightly, his eyes resolute: "Tell the headquarters that we will do our best, no matter what the cost, we must also find the real anti-time hourglass and smash the conspiracy of the Shadow Alliance." "When night fell, Lin Feng and the others trudged through the dense forest, although they were physically and mentally exhausted, they knew that time was pressing, and they did not dare to relax for a moment.
Suddenly, there was a slight noise ahead, like the sound of metal colliding. Lin Feng immediately signaled the team members to silence and quietly approached the source of the sound.
Through the dense trees, they discovered a hidden cave with the Shadow Alliance's emblem on it.
Lin Feng's eyes lit up, and he ordered in a low voice: "Xiaojie, you stay at the entrance of the cave to be on guard; The rest of you, come in with me. The group cautiously entered the cave and walked along the winding passage.
The cave was dark and damp, and there was an eerie smell in the air. As they delved deeper, they discovered that the walls of the cave were intricately carved with runes and patterns, some of which seemed to resemble the symbols on the hourglass.
"Looks like we've found the right place." Xia Jin whispered, carefully observing the runes on the cave walls, trying to decipher their meanings.
At this moment, a heavy stone door appeared in front of him, and a spar emitting a faint blue light was inlaid on the door.
Lin Feng stepped forward and tried to push open the door, but found that the stone door did not move.
"This should be some kind of seal." Xiaoya observed for a moment and said,
"It may require a specific ritual or spell to be activated."
"Let me try." Xia Jin took out a parchment scroll from her bosom, an ancient document she had stumbled upon at the Shadow Alliance headquarters.
She read the words in her mouth as she checked the runes in the literature, and then pressed her palm against the hedron. The spar instantly lit up with a blazing light, and the stone door slowly opened, revealing a staircase leading to the depths.
The crowd held their breath and descended the stairs to a spacious underground hall. In the center of the hall, a huge black hourglass was silently suspended in midair, the true anti-time hourglass they were looking for.
The black crystals on the surface of the hourglass circulated with a mysterious luster, and a powerful wave of energy emanated from it.
