"Yes, yes, you're our hero! If it weren't for you, we would have been swallowed up by darkness. ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, and the tense atmosphere on the battlefield instantly dissipated.

Zhao Qi also smiled and shook his head: "This is all the credit of everyone, without your support and cooperation, I would not be able to defeat this dark magic alone." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the elves and other companions around him, his eyes full of gratitude and respect.

After a thrilling battle, Zhao Qi and the others finally defeated the leader of the evil forces.

As the leader fell, the dark magic that enveloped the battlefield began to dissipate. The darkness on the battlefield receded like a tide, and the bright sunlight shone down through the clouds, reflecting the entire battlefield in gold.

"It's finally over!" Zhao Qi gasped, the sword in his hand flashed with dazzling light, and there were still traces of enemy blood on the tip of the sword.

"yes, it's finally over." Yi Wuxiao also breathed a sigh of relief, the clothes on his body were already in tatters, but the smile on his face was extraordinarily bright.

Lan Lingling stood silently to the side, her hands folded, as if praying for victory in this battle. There was a hint of exhaustion on her face, but there was a determined glint in her eyes.

As the darkness cleared, the scene on the battlefield gradually became clearer. The corners that were once shrouded in darkness are now exposed to the sun. The battlefield was littered with the corpses and wreckage of the enemy, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Zhao Qi and the others looked around, looking at this battlefield that was once full of gunsmoke and killing, and they couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in their hearts. They knew that the victory in this battle was not easy to come by, and they bought it with blood and sweat.

"We won!" Zhao Qi suddenly shouted, his voice echoing across the battlefield.

"Win! We won! The others shouted along, their faces beaming with the joy of victory.

At this moment, the inhabitants of the battlefield also poured out. When they saw Zhao Qi and the others returning victoriously, they were all so excited that they burst into tears.

"Thank you! Thank you for saving us! An old man stepped forward and held Zhao Qi's hand tightly, his eyes full of gratitude.

"You're welcome, that's what we should do." Zhao Qi said with a smile.

Then, the residents stepped forward to express their gratitude to Zhao Qi and others. They presented flowers and wine to Zhao Qi and others to celebrate this hard-won victory.

During the celebration, Zhao Qi and others also relaxed, laughing and chatting with the residents. They know that victory in this battle belongs not only to themselves, but to all the good people of this land.

A few days later, the journey continued, and they continued on their way, the road under their feet seemingly never-ending.

Yi Wuxiao hummed a little song as she walked, looking relaxed, while Zhao Qi was always vigilant, looking at every inch of land in front of him.

Lan Lingling followed behind them, silently praying that the rest of the journey would be safe and smooth.

Soon after, they came to a desert known as the "Eye of the Storm".

The environment here is completely different from before, and the violent sandstorm is raging, as if it is about to swallow the entire desert. The sand particles blown up by the wind flew in the air, forming yellow walls of wind that made it difficult to approach.

"Wow, this place is so desolate!" Yi Wuxiao sighed, covering his eyes with his hands, trying to see the road ahead.

"Be careful, not only is there wind and sand here, but there may also be other dangers." Zhao Qi reminded, his gaze scanning around the desert.

Lan Lingling followed closely behind Zhao Qi, for fear that he would be blown away by the wind and sand. She looked at the desolate scene around her, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared in her heart.

Zhao Qi and the others stood on the edge of the eye of the storm, the desert in front of them was like an endless yellow ocean, and the sand particles rolled up by the wind flew wantonly in the air, hitting people's cheeks.

They looked at each other and smiled, their eyes shining with determination, and decided to follow the clues of this place, to find the ancient ruins hidden in the depths of the desert.

They braved the wind and sand, and struggled forward. Every step is like fighting against the wind, and the sand hits the body, making a "rustling" sound.

Yi Wuxiao was amused and joked: "This wind and sand is really enthusiastic, give us a full body massage as soon as we meet." ”

Lan Lingling glanced at him and said angrily, "If you like it, enjoy it for a while." After speaking, she tightened the cloak on her body, for fear that the wind and sand would get into her clothes.

Just then, they spotted a caravan ahead of them. The men and horses of the caravan were all dressed in thick cloaks and goggles, and they looked quite professional. The leader of the caravan was a middle-aged man with a full beard, who rode on a tall camel and had eyes as sharp as an eagle.

Zhao Qi took a step forward and bowed his hand: "This big brother, we are cultivators who have come to explore, I don't know if there is a resting place ahead?" ”

The caravan leader glanced at them, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He didn't expect to meet cultivators in this desert.

He nodded and said in a rough voice, "There is an oasis not far ahead, where you can take a break." However, I would like to warn you that this desert is not only full of sandstorms, but also strange creatures and dangerous traps that need to be dealt with carefully. ”

Zhao Qi and others were shocked when they heard this, and they expressed their gratitude. They followed the caravan and struggled through the wind. Along the way, the caravan leader reminded them from time to time to pay attention to their surroundings so as not to fall into danger.

Finally, they came to the oasis. In the middle of the oasis there a pool of clear water with lush vegetation around the lake.

The men and horses of the caravan unloaded their goods and began to rest. Zhao Qi and the others also found a shady place to sit down, and took out a kettle and dry food to replenish their energy.

"It's a lot of sand here, but it's nice to meet you." Yi Wuxiao said while nibbling on dry food.

The caravan leader smiled and said, "The wind and sand in this desert are indeed terrifying, but what is even more terrifying are those strange creatures and traps. If you want to continue your adventure deep into the desert, you have to be careful. ”

Zhao Qi nodded, indicating that he understood. He knew in his heart that this desert was full of dangers, and the slightest carelessness could kill him. But now that they've decided to explore the ruins, they won't give up easily.

Just then, they came across a caravan that had also come on an expedition. The leader of the caravan was a middle-aged man with a full beard, who rode a tall camel and looked quite imposing.

"Hello, it seems that we have the same destination, we are all going to explore the ruins in the depths of the eye of the storm." The caravan leader took the initiative to come forward to say hello.

"Ruins? Are you saying that there really are ruins here? Yi Wuxiao asked curiously.

"Of course, it is said that deep in the desert lies an ancient ruin, which holds endless treasures and secrets. However, it is not easy to get there, in addition to the wind and sand, there are also strange creatures and dangerous traps waiting for us. The caravan leader said.

Zhao Qi and the others glanced at each other, and they all had a plan in their hearts. They know that the road ahead will be even more difficult and dangerous.

But at the same time, they are also full of anticipation and determination to explore the mysterious ruins.

"In that case, let's move forward together. It's good to take care of each other. Zhao Qi said.

The caravan leader nodded in agreement. So, the two teams merged together and continued to move forward against the wind and sand.

At this moment, a young man in the caravan suddenly ran over in a panic. "Team leader, no! Our cargo has been attacked by a swarm of sand beasts! He said breathlessly.

The caravan leader's face changed when he heard this, and he immediately stood up. "Come with me, everyone!" He shouted, and ran in the direction where the cargo was. Zhao Qi and the others also followed, knowing that it would be a vicious battle.

When they arrived at the scene, they saw a group of huge sand beasts besieging the caravan's cargo.

These sand beasts were covered in yellow scales, and their eyes gleamed with a fierce light. They opened their bloody mouths and let out a deafening roar, as if they were about to swallow everything up.

The caravan men and horses had already engaged in a fierce battle with the sand beasts, but the sand beasts were numerous and powerful, and they were gradually falling into a bitter battle.

Seeing this, Zhao Qi and the others immediately pulled out the weapons in their hands and rushed forward. They fought side by side with the caravan to defend against the Sand Beasts.

The fighting was extremely fierce, and both sides paid a huge price. But Zhao Qi and others gradually gained the upper hand with their tacit cooperation and strong strength. Yi Wuxiao rushed left and right with a long sword in his hand, like a bolt of lightning, shuttling through the sand beasts.

Lan Lingling used his own spells to constantly unleash powerful attacks; Zhao Qi, on the other hand, stood at the forefront with his sword in his hand, and launched a thrilling duel with the most powerful sand beast.

The wind in the desert is getting stronger and stronger, and it is almost impossible for people to stand. But they didn't give up, but supported each other step by step.

The depths of the desert. The wind and sand here are so violent that it is almost impossible to breathe. But at the same time, they also found some strange signs.

"Look there, something seems to be moving!" Yi Wuxiao suddenly pointed ahead and shouted.

Zhao Qi and the others looked in the direction of his finger, only to see a group of huge figures looming in the wind and sand. They are massive, powerful, and capable of manipulating wind and sand to attack.

"It's a stronger sand beast! Be careful, everyone! Zhao Qi shouted loudly. He immediately drew the sword in his hand and prepared for battle.

The others also showed their weapons, watching the movements around them vigilantly.

The sand beasts seemed to sense their arrival and roared and rushed towards them.

For a time, the entire desert was filled with the breath of battle. Zhao Qi and the others relied on tacit cooperation and strong strength to start a fierce battle with the sand beast.

Although the sand beasts were numerous and powerful, they did not flinch or fear. On the contrary, they showed their resilience and courage in each encounter.

These sand beasts are massive, covered in golden scales, like moving hills. They are immensely powerful and can manipulate the wind and sand to attack, filling the entire desert with a murderous aura.

"Everyone, be careful!" Zhao Qi reminded loudly, and at the same time clenched the sword in his hand, ready for battle.

Yi Wuxiao took out a spell, and said something in his mouth, ready to release a spell at any time to support.

Not to be outdone, the staff in her hand flashed with a faint blue light, obviously ready to deal with the sand beasts.

The sand beasts roared and rushed over, they opened their bloody mouths, revealing their sharp fangs, as if they wanted to swallow Zhao Qi and the others in one gulp. Zhao Qi brandished his sword and greeted him, and he had a fierce confrontation with the sand beast. His sword light flickered, and every swing of his sword could bring up a piece of wind and sand, and the power was amazing.

However, there are simply too many Sand Beasts, and they are also able to manipulate Wind and Sand to attack.

For a while, Zhao Qi and others fell into a bitter battle. The wind and sand are thick and their vision is blurred, and they can only rely on their hearing and intuition to fight.

"These sand beasts are too difficult to deal with!" Yi Wuxiao complained while dodging the attack of the sand beast.

"Less nonsense, think of a way!" Lan Lingling said angrily, the staff in her hand continued to release an icy cold aura, trying to slow down the speed of the sand beast.

Zhao Qi didn't say a word, he clutched the sword and kept shuttling among the sand beasts.

His figure flickered, taking the life of a sand beast with each appearance. However, the number of sand beasts seemed to be endless, and they kept pouring up, making Zhao Qi and the others feel a little overwhelmed.

At this moment, a particularly large sand beast suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Qi. This sand beast is much larger than the other sand beasts and exudes a powerful aura all over its body. It opened its bloody mouth and pounced on Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi was shocked, but he didn't flinch. He clenched his sword, gathered the strength of his whole body, and launched a fierce attack on the sand beast. The sword light flickered, and the momentum was like a rainbow, and Zhao Qi's blow directly cut this huge sand beast in half!

"Well done!" Yi Wuxiao cheered loudly when he saw this.

Lan Lingling also showed a satisfied smile: "It seems that we are still very promising." ”

The sand beasts seemed to be stunned by Zhao Qi's blow, and they temporarily stopped attacking and began to retreat. Zhao Qi and others took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and they gradually gained the upper hand with tacit cooperation and strong strength.

However, just as they were about to win, something unexpected happened. A sand beast hidden under the sand suddenly attacked, knocking the blue spirit to the ground. Zhao Qi and Yi Wuxiao were shocked, and they hurriedly rushed over to check on Lan Lingling's situation.

"I'm fine, just a minor injury." Lan Lingling reluctantly sat up, her face was a little pale, but there was a determined light in her eyes.

Zhao Qi's heart was relieved, but he knew that now was not the time to relax. He stood up and said to Yi Wuxiao, "You take care of Lan Lingling, and I'll deal with that Sand Beast King." (End of chapter)
