"Found it! This is the real anti-time hourglass! Xiaoya shouted excitedly. Lin Feng stared at the hourglass and said in a deep voice, "We must take it away as soon as possible, but be careful, the Shadow Alliance may have a trap. As soon as he finished speaking, a strange green light suddenly lit up around the hall, the ground shook, and stone warriors emerged from the ground, holding sharp swords and staring at the intruder with cold eyes.

"Sure enough, there was an ambush!" Lin Feng drew his sword in his hand and said sharply,

"Everyone, protect the hourglass and prepare for battle!" A fierce battle unfolds in the underground halls, and the gargoyle warriors are lifeless, but powerful and invulnerable.

Lin Feng and the others relied on their excellent combat skills and teamwork to resist the attack of the gargoyle warriors with difficulty.

However, the number of enemies is large and continuous, and the situation is becoming more and more critical.

"This is not the way to go, we must find a way to control these gargoyle warriors." Lin Feng swung his sword to cut off the incoming sword qi while looking for a way to crack it.

At this moment, Xiaoya noticed an altar in the corner of the hall, on which placed an ancient book and a scepter inlaid with strange gems.

She had an idea and shouted loudly, "Captain Lin Feng, there may be a mechanism to control the gargoyle warriors there!" When Lin Feng heard this, his eyes lit up, and he quickly rushed to the altar, picked up the scepter, and opened the book.

The book records an ancient ritual that lifts the seal of a gargoyle warrior. As described in the book, he held a scepter in his hand and recited a mantra in his mouth.

As the spell was completed, the gem on the scepter shimmered brightly, enveloping the entire hall. As if affected by some invisible force, the gargoyle warriors gradually slowed down their movements, and finally stopped attacking, turned into stone statues again, and stood silently in place.

"It worked!" Xiao Ya cheered, and everyone also breathed a sigh of relief, and they all cast admiring glances at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng put away the scepter and turned his gaze to the hourglass: "Let's leave here immediately and return to the Transcendent Affairs Bureau." Everyone cautiously approached the hourglass, and Lin Feng stretched out his hand, ready to put it into the storage space.

However, at this moment, a cold voice sounded: "Do you think that this will take away the hourglass?" Everyone was shocked, and saw that at the entrance of the cave, a familiar figure slowly walked in, it was the leader of the Shadow Alliance, Obsidian.

Although he had been severely injured by Lin Feng before, it seemed that there was no major problem at the moment, but his aura was even more unfathomable.

"Obsidian, you dare to show up!" Lin Feng glared at the other party angrily, the long sword in his hand shining with cold light. Obsidian sneered: "Lin Feng, your strength really impresses me, but today, you don't want to take away the hourglass from me again." Lin Feng's eyes froze, he knew that an even more fierce battle was about to begin.

He turned his head to look at the team members, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaoya, Xia Jin, you protect the hourglass against time, and the rest of you will fight against obsidian with me!" The team responded, and they gathered around the hourglass and waited for it.

Lin Feng held a long sword and took the lead in rushing towards Obsidian, followed by Xiao Jie, Xia Jin and others, fighting to the death against Obsidian and the members of the Shadow Alliance under his command.

The duel between Lin Feng and Obsidian instantly detonated the entire underground hall, the sword qi was vertical and horizontal, and the energy fluctuated agitated.

Lin Feng's swordsmanship was like a dragon soaring for nine days, sharp and precise, and every swing and slash was directed at the key point of obsidian.

Obsidian responded with strange body movements and evil arts, and the dark energy around him swung like tentacles, trying to entangle and erode Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng, you're still too naïve!" Obsidian sneered, his eyes flashed with an eerie light, and suddenly, a powerful curse power erupted from his body, enveloping Lin Feng in an instant.

Lin Feng only felt that his body sank, as if he was bound by an invisible shackle, and his sword momentum suddenly stagnated. He gritted his teeth and tried to break free from this evil force, but the power of the curse was like a bone appendage, constantly eating away at his physical strength and will.

"Captain Lin Feng!" Seeing this, Xiaoya and Xia Jin were anxious. They wanted to help, but they were worried about the safety of the hourglass, so they could only watch Lin Feng struggle under the power of the curse.

"Lin Feng, give up, you can't defeat me, let alone take away the hourglass against time." Obsidian pressed in, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smug smile, as if victory was already in his hands.

Lin Feng clenched the long sword, and although his body was dragged down by the power of the curse, the resolute color in his eyes did not waver in the slightest.

He took a deep breath, and the transcendent power within him surged wildly, trying to fight the evil curse.

"Do you think I'm going to throw in the towel so easily?" Lin Feng let out a low roar, and he condensed the strength of his whole body into the tip of the sword, and stabbed at the obsidian with a sword.

This sword, as if breaking through the boundaries of time and space, pierced Obsidian's heart with determination and fearlessness.

Obsidian's face changed slightly, he didn't expect Lin Feng to burst out with such a powerful blow in such a predicament.

He hurriedly mobilized the dark energy to resist, however, the evil destroying power carried by the tip of the sword was as hot as the sun, instantly incinerating the dark defense.

"How could it be ......" Obsidian was horrified, and he watched as the long sword pierced into his chest, and an indescribable pain instantly swept through his body.

Lin Feng took the opportunity to draw his sword violently, blood gushed out like a spring, and Obsidian's body fell to the ground weakly, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Obsidian, your time is over." Lin Feng looked coldly at the obsidian who fell to the ground, his body was still tormented by the power of the curse, but the belief in victory made him straighten his waist.

"Captain Lin Feng!" Xiao Ya and Xia Jin saw Obsidian falling, and called out to Lin Feng in surprise. They stepped forward quickly, wanting to help Lin Feng exorcise the curse.

"First...... Take care of the hourglass first. Lin Feng gasped as he endured the pain and reminded his teammates not to let their guard down.

Xiao Ya and Xia Jin immediately returned to the hourglass, and they looked around nervously to make sure that there were no other threats, and only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.

"Captain Lin Feng, how are you?" Xia Jin asked with concern, her eyes full of worry. Lin Feng smiled slightly, although his face was pale, his eyes were still firm: "Don't worry, I can still hold on." We must get out of here now as soon as possible and return to the Transcendental Bureau. Xiao Ya nodded, she took out a bottle of potion from her arms and handed it to Lin Feng: "This is the potion to relieve the curse, you take it first." Lin Feng took the potion and drank it in one gulp.

The potion quickly took effect, and the power of the curse began to subside, and his face gradually returned to ruddy.

"Let's go, let's get out of here." Lin Feng got up, although his body was still a little weak, but it was no longer a big problem.

He was the first to walk towards the hourglass, ready to put it in the storage space. At this moment, the anti-time hourglass, which had been stationary, suddenly emitted a strong light, and a powerful energy fluctuation instantly filled the entire underground hall.

"What's going on?" Lin Feng was startled, he looked at the hourglass against time, only to see that the black crystals inside it were trembling violently, as if something was about to break out of the cocoon.

"Could it be ......" Xiao Ya and Xia Jin glanced at each other, and they both realized that there might be a bigger secret hidden inside the hourglass.

"Captain Lin Feng, should we wait first?" Xia Jin asked worriedly, she was afraid that an unknown force would pose a threat to them.

Lin Feng's brows furrowed, he looked at the hourglass against time, and his heart was also full of doubts. However, he knew that he could not hesitate at this moment, and that he had to bring the Hourglass back to the Transcendental Bureau as soon as possible and hand it over to professional researchers.

"We have to take it away." Lin Feng said firmly, he took a deep breath and reached out again to touch the hourglass.

At the moment when his fingers were about to touch the hourglass, a dazzling light erupted from inside the hourglass, enveloping Lin Feng and the others.

"Ahh

Lin Feng and his party were shocked in the face of the sudden light, but they could only let that force drag them through the unknown space.

As the light faded, they found themselves in an unfamiliar environment. Looking around, it was a vast and barren place, the sky was obscured by a thick layer of dark clouds, and the air was filled with an air of oppression and slaughter.

"This ...... Where is this? Xiao Jie's eyes widened, looking at the scene around him in disbelief.

"The power of the hourglass is far greater than we can imagine." Lin Feng groaned, he looked up at the hourglass in his hand, the black crystal was still trembling slightly, obviously the change just now was related to this.

"Either way, we have to settle our ground first." Xia Jin calmly analyzed,

"Captain Lin Feng, can you feel the energy fluctuations of the hourglass against time? Maybe we can tell where we are. Lin Feng closed his eyes and sensed, and after a while, he opened his eyes with a solemn expression: "I can feel that the power of the hourglass against time is resonating with this space in some way, and we are likely to have crossed time and space." ”

"Across time and space?" Xiao Ya repeated in surprise,

"And how do we get back?"

"If the hourglass can bring us here, it should be able to take us back." Lin Feng replied, he gripped the hourglass tightly, trying to stimulate its strength.

However, no matter how much he tried, the hourglass never responded.

"It seems that the situation is more complicated than we expected." Lin Feng frowned and said,

"The hourglass may be limited in some way and cannot be manipulated for the time being."

"So what do we do now?" Xiaojie was a little flustered, and the unknown world in front of him made him feel uneasy.

"Explore the environment first for possible clues." Lin Feng decisively decided,

"Everyone should be vigilant and try to avoid acting alone." The crowd dispersed, carefully searching the barren land.

Soon, Xiao Ya stopped in front of a ruined stone tablet with vague symbols carved on it that seemed to resemble the runes on the hourglass.

"Captain Lin Feng, look!" Xiaoya pointed to the stone tablet and shouted. Lin Feng and the others rushed over when they heard the sound and carefully examined the symbols on the stone tablet.

With his wealth of knowledge, Xia Jin tried to decipher these symbols: "These symbols are the same as the rune system of the Reverse Hourglass, and they seem to describe a ritual used to activate the Time and Space Travel ability of the Reverse Hourglass. ”

"Ritual?" A glimmer of hope flashed in Lin Feng's eyes,

"What do we need to do?"

"The stele mentions the need for a mysterious artifact called the 'Heart of Time and Space' as a ritual medium." Xia Jin explained,

"Only with the help of the 'Heart of Time and Space' can the hourglass return to normal function."

"Heart of Time and Space ......" Lin Feng thought for a moment, his eyes firm,

"We have to find it. Xiao Ya, Xia Jin, you continue to study the information on the stone tablet and see if you can find more clues. The rest of you, follow me to find the Heart of Time and Space. Everyone acted separately, Lin Feng led the team into the barren land, they were attacked by various unknown creatures in the harsh environment, but with the tacit cooperation and tenacity of the team, they saved the day again and again.

At the same time, Xiao Ya and Xia Jin found a hidden hole near the stone tablet, and the entrance of the cave was also engraved with runes related to the reverse hourglass, and the two speculated that this could be the way

The key to the "Heart of Time and Space".

"Captain Lin Feng, we've found a possible clue!" Xiaoya excitedly called through the walkie-talkie. Lin Feng and the others quickly returned and entered the cave together.

The interior of the cave is intricate, and they follow the guidance from the stone walls to go deeper and deeper, overcoming traps along the way.

Eventually, they came to a grand hall with a glittering crystal in the center—

"Heart of Time and Space".

"That's it!" Lin Feng's eyes flashed with joy, and he stepped forward quickly and carefully picked it up

"Heart of Time and Space". The crystals emit a soft glow in the hand, creating a subtle resonance with the counter-hourglass.

"Let's hurry back and finish the ceremony!" Lin Feng shouted to everyone. Everyone followed Lin Feng back to the stele, and according to the ritual steps recorded on the stele, Lin Feng will

The "Heart of Time and Space" is placed in a specific groove, and then the counter-hourglass is held and the incantation is silently recited.

As the spell is completed, the hourglass is reversed

At the same time, the "Heart of Time and Space" bloomed with dazzling light, and a powerful force of time and space gathered around them.

"Hold on to each other and get ready to cross!" Lin Feng reminded loudly. Everyone hugged each other tightly, and the light of the hourglass enveloped them, and disappeared into the barren land in an instant.

When the light dissipated, they found themselves back at the secret base of the Transcendental Bureau.

"We're back!" Xiaojie cheered, looking at the familiar environment, and his heart swelled with endless peace of mind.

Lin Feng will be the hourglass against time

The "Heart of Time and Space" was handed over to the researchers who had been waiting for a long time, instructing them to parse its secrets as soon as possible and ensure their safety.

He turned to face his teammates, his eyes full of gratitude and pride: "This adventure is thanks to everyone's joint efforts. Now, let's rest well and get ready for the next challenge. ”

"Captain Lin Feng, there's something I want to tell you." Xia Jin suddenly spoke, her eyes flashing with a hint of cunning,

"We've found some interesting clues in that barren place, which may be related to the legendary 'Lost City.'"

"The Lost City?" Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled,

"It seems that our adventure is far from over."
