Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 208 Mysterious Shadows and Hidden Dangers

The mist, thick as ink, swirled and billowed through the forest, each wisp seeming to conceal unknown dangers. As the reconnaissance team stepped into the Misty Forest, it was as if they had entered a strange, isolated world.

Captain Li Ming frowned, gripping the communication talisman tightly in his hand as he vigilantly surveyed his surroundings. His spiritual energy formed a faint protective shield around his body, dispelling the eerie mist that tried to intrude. "Everyone be careful, this mist is strange. Don't scatter, keep in close formation," he whispered, his voice echoing through the mist, carrying a barely perceptible tension.

The team members nodded in unison, their weapons gleaming coldly, their footsteps barely touching the ground, afraid to disturb the unknown beings lurking in this mysterious forest. Suddenly, a low roar came from ahead, its sound filled with boundless savagery and ferocity. The team members immediately stopped, standing back to back in a circle, ready for battle.

"What is it?" a team member asked nervously, his voice trembling slightly.

Before anyone could react, a gigantic Mist Wolf leaped out of the mist. It was over two people tall, its fur as black as night, radiating an eerie glow, and its blood-red eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light in the darkness. The wolf opened its gaping maw, revealing sharp fangs, and pounced on the team members.

"Attack!" Li Ming shouted, unleashing a sharp sword aura. The sword aura, like a bolt of lightning, sliced ​​through the mist and shot towards the demonic wolf. The demonic wolf nimbly dodged to the side, the sword aura grazing its body and leaving a deep crack in the ground.

The other team members also joined in, their spells flashing in the mist. Some cast fireballs, the blazing flames illuminating the surrounding darkness; others unleashed ice arrows, the icy blue arrows carrying a chilling aura, hurtling towards the demonic wolf.

The wolf dodged and weaved during the attack, sustaining minor injuries, but its attacks grew increasingly fierce. Suddenly, it leaped and pounced on one of the team members. The member's eyes widened in terror, and he hurriedly raised his sword to defend himself. With a loud clang, the wolf's claws slammed heavily onto the sword, the powerful force sending the member staggering back several steps.

Seeing this, Li Ming's heart tightened. He quickly gathered his spiritual power and unleashed his strongest attack—"Clear Wind Demon-Slaying Sword." A golden sword aura, carrying immense momentum, slashed towards the demonic wolf. Sensing the threat of this sword aura, the demonic wolf roared angrily, attempting to dodge. But the sword aura was too fast, striking it instantly.

"Awooo!" The demonic wolf let out a painful howl as its body was blasted away by the sword energy and crashed heavily to the ground. It struggled to get up, but its injuries were too severe, and it eventually collapsed to the ground, motionless.

The team members breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground. Although the battle was brief, it had drained them of considerable physical and spiritual energy. However, before they could even rest for a moment, a strange laugh suddenly echoed around them.

"Hahaha, you think you can get out of the Misty Forest alive?" A sinister voice echoed in the mist, sending chills down one's spine.

The team members immediately stood up and cautiously searched for the source of the sound. A figure shrouded in black robes slowly emerged from the mist, his face hidden in the darkness, making it impossible to see his features.

"Who are you?" Li Ming asked warily, the sword in his hand trembling slightly.

The man in black robes didn't answer. He simply waved his hand, and a powerful dark force swept towards the team members. The team members hurriedly used their spiritual power to defend themselves, but the dark force was too strong, and their defenses were instantly breached.

"Oh no! Send a distress signal!" Li Ming shouted, quickly taking out a communication talisman and infusing it with spiritual power. However, before the talisman could be sent, the black-robed man launched another attack. A beam of black light shot towards Li Ming, who was unable to dodge in time and was struck by the light, falling to the ground.

Seeing this, the other team members rushed forward, trying to rescue Li Ming. However, the black-robed man was far too powerful; they were no match for him. Under the black-robed man's attacks, the team members fell one by one, their blood staining the ground.

The misty forest returned to its tranquility, as if nothing had happened. Only the lingering fog still concealed endless dangers.
