Chapter 210 Survival from Desperate Circumstances: The Truth Gradually Becomes Clear
Thick vines, carrying Lin Wan'er's full-force attack, pierced the demonic bear's belly like a black lightning bolt. Sensing danger, the bear tried to dodge but was restrained by Zhang Peng's attack, only able to let out a terrified roar. With a "plop," the vines precisely pierced the gap in the demonic bear's scales, and a spurt of black, foul blood gushed out.
The demonic bear, in pain, writhed wildly, trying to break free of the vines. Its power shook the surrounding ground, and its massive paws lashed out wildly, creating a bloody storm. Seeing this, Zhang Peng immediately unleashed the defensive power of the Chaos Spirit Technique, forming a five-colored shield in front of him and Lin Wan'er to withstand the demonic bear's frenzied counterattack.
"Zhang Peng, let's give it our all!" Lin Wan'er shouted, her forehead covered in sweat, yet she gritted her teeth and persevered, continuously channeling spiritual energy into the bear, allowing the vines to ravage its body. The bear's strength gradually weakened, and its movements became sluggish. The ferocity in its eyes was gone, replaced by fear and despair.
Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Peng unleashed the power of the Chaos Pearl to its fullest extent. A five-colored beam of light, carrying an earth-shattering aura, shot towards the demonic bear's head. The demonic bear was no longer able to resist, and under the impact of the light, its body slowly collapsed, raising a cloud of dust.
Zhang Peng and Lin Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground. The battle had exhausted their physical and spiritual energy, but thankfully they had successfully defeated the demonic bear. After a short rest, the two continued on their way, searching for the reconnaissance team.
As they ventured deeper into the Misty Forest, the surrounding darkness grew increasingly intense, and eerie sounds echoed in their ears, as if countless eyes were watching them from the shadows. Suddenly, Zhang Peng stopped; he sensed a faint life force ahead.
"Wan'er, there seems to be someone ahead!" Zhang Peng whispered, and the two quickened their pace. Behind a thicket of bushes, they found Li Ming, severely injured. Li Ming lay on the ground, barely breathing, his body covered in wounds, blood staining the surrounding ground.
"Li Ming!" Zhang Peng and Lin Wan'er rushed forward and helped Li Ming up. Zhang Peng quickly took out a healing pill and fed it to Li Ming.
"Cough cough... Captain Zhang... Captain Zhang..." Li Ming slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Zhang Peng and Lin Wan'er, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"Don't talk, just rest," Zhang Peng comforted her.
Li Ming struggled to say, "No...no, we've fallen into a trap set by the Dark Organization...the man in black robes...is too powerful...the other team members..."
Zhang Peng and Lin Wan'er's expressions changed drastically; they knew the situation was worse than they had imagined. Zhang Peng quickly asked, "Li Ming, don't get agitated, tell me slowly, where is the man in black robes now? Is there any hope for the other team members?"
Li Ming, panting heavily, said haltingly, "The man in black robes... led the other team members deeper into the forest... There's a dark castle there... It's the headquarters of the dark organization... They... They want to use the team members as sacrifices to open a passage to another world..."
Zhang Peng and Lin Wan'er exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock and anger. They hadn't expected the Dark Organization's plan to have reached such a crucial stage; if they succeeded, the cultivation world would face annihilation.
"We must stop them as soon as possible!" Zhang Peng stood up, his eyes resolute.
Lin Wan'er nodded: "Yes, we can't let their conspiracy succeed."
The two cautiously ventured deeper into the forest. Along the way, they encountered several powerful demonic beasts, but they successfully repelled them all thanks to Zhang Peng's Chaos Spirit Technique and Lin Wan'er's wood-based magic. Finally, a castle shrouded in dark power appeared before them.
The castle gates were tightly shut, and a thick, dark aura permeated the surroundings, sending chills down their spines. Zhang Peng and Lin Wan'er hid to the side, observing the castle's movements. They saw several members of a dark organization patrolling the castle gates, exuding an evil aura, their weapons gleaming coldly.
"How do we get in?" Lin Wan'er asked in a low voice.
Zhang Peng pondered for a moment and said, "We definitely can't just force our way in. Let's figure out how to deal with the guards at the gate first, and then look for an opportunity to sneak into the castle."
Just then, a familiar figure emerged from the castle. It was the black-robed man who had fought Zhang Peng before, a smug smile on his face, as if everything was under his control.
