Chapter 371 The Devil's Shadow
Faced with the black flames spewed out by the devil, Li Yunfei and others instantly entered a state of high alert.
Li Yunfei quickly raised the artifact above his head, and the artifact burst into brilliant light, forming a shield to try to resist the evil flames. His eyes were focused and determined, veins on his forehead bulged, and he shouted loudly: "Everyone, find cover!"
Lin Yue cast a spell in panic, forming a light blue magic shield around herself and the villagers around her. Her face was as pale as paper, and her staff was shaking slightly in her hand. "I hope I can hold on..."
Zhang Hao pulled a few villagers over and protected them behind him, holding his spear in place, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Although his voice was firm, he could not hide his inner nervousness.
Feng Yu waved her hands, trying to use fire to fight the black flames, "I won't let you succeed!" She clenched her teeth, and the flames surged out under her control.
Mo Ying flashed and quickly took a few villagers with limited mobility to hide behind a huge rock.
The black flames collided with Li Yunfei's shield, making a "sizzling" sound. The shield flickered and seemed to be shattered at any time. Li Yunfei felt a huge pressure coming, and his feet left two deep marks on the ground.
"Ah!" Li Yunfei roared, trying his best to maintain the shield.
Under the impact of the black flames, cracks appeared on Lin Yue's magic shield and her magic power was rapidly consumed.
Zhang Hao looked at the scene in front of him, anxious, "This is not a solution!"
Feng Yu's flames were gradually suppressed by the black flames, and her forehead was covered with sweat.
Just when everyone felt despair, the artifact suddenly burst out with a powerful force, repelling the black flames in one fell swoop.
Seeing this, the devil let out an angry roar, "Damn humans, how dare you resist me!" It flapped its huge wings and swooped down towards the crowd.
Li Yunfei panted, "Everyone prepare to fight!"
Lin Yue struggled to stand up, and the light of the gem on the staff dimmed.
Zhang Hao gripped the spear tightly, his eyes full of determination.
Feng Yu's hands ignited with flames again, preparing to meet the demon's attack.
A dark figure flashed out from behind the rock, a short blade tightly grasped in his hand.
The demon rushed in front of everyone in an instant, and its huge claws grabbed Li Yunfei. Li Yunfei dodged sideways, and the magic weapon swung and chopped the demon's claws. The demon felt pain, retracted its claws, and turned to pounce on Lin Yue.
Seeing this, Zhang Hao thrust his spear at the demon, "Don't even think about hurting her!"
The devil flapped its wings and blew Zhang Hao away.
Feng Yu took the opportunity to release a huge ball of fire, which hit the demon. The demon roared angrily and turned to rush towards Feng Yu.
Mo Ying moved quickly in the shadows, stabbing the demon's back with his short blade. The demon sensed the danger and turned around suddenly, and Mo Ying's attack missed.
Li Yunfei launched another attack, and the light on the artifact flashed continuously, shooting at the demon. The demon dodged left and right, but was still hit by several rays of light, and several wounds appeared on his body.
The demon became even more angry, muttering something, and the dark power around it quickly gathered.
"Oh no, it's going to cast a more powerful magic!" Lin Yue exclaimed.
Li Yunfei gritted his teeth and said, "We can't let it succeed!" He jumped up and rushed towards the devil.
Everyone also launched their strongest attacks. For a moment, light, flames, spears and short blades all attacked the demon.
The demon let out an extremely painful roar after being overwhelmed by the attacks of the crowd. When the light dissipated, the demon's figure began to gradually become illusory. Its scarlet eyes were full of anger and unwillingness. It stared at everyone and said viciously: "Damn humans, just wait, I will be back!" Before the voice fell, the demon turned into a cloud of thick black smoke and disappeared without a trace in an instant. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground exhausted. "Huh... Finally got rid of this guy." Zhang Hao gasped, with a look of relief on his face. Lin Yue smiled weakly and said in a low voice: "Although we have driven it away temporarily, we don't know when it will come back again."
Li Yunfei stood up and said, "No matter what, we have to help the villagers rebuild their homes first."
In the following days, Li Yunfei and others stayed in the village, helping the villagers repair their houses, reclaim farmland, and live a peaceful life again.
One day, Li Yunfei was working in the fields when he suddenly felt a strange movement coming from the artifact.
"What's going on?" he wondered.
At this time, a mysterious old man appeared in front of him.
The old man looked at him, with a strange light in his eyes. "Young man, the artifact in your hand contains great secrets and power, and you have not yet fully utilized its power."
Li Yunfei looked at the old man in surprise, "Who are you? Why do you know all this?"
The old man smiled slightly, "I am a guardian, and I have been waiting for someone who can truly master the power of the artifact to appear."
Li Yunfei's eyes were eager, and his tone revealed his desire for power: "Then can you tell me how to fully unleash the power of the artifact?" He knew that he had found a key person who might be able to help him achieve his goal.
The old man nodded, indicating that he understood Li Yunfei's feelings. However, his expression was serious and solemn, as if suggesting that the next challenge would not be easy. "But this requires you to go through a difficult test." The old man said in a low and powerful voice.
Li Yunfei responded without any hesitation, "I am willing to accept the test!" He knew in his heart that only through difficulties and challenges can one truly grow and gain powerful strength.
The old man nodded slightly, expressing his appreciation for Li Yunfei's determination. He took Li Yunfei to an ancient temple. The temple was towering into the sky, surrounded by dense forests, giving people a solemn and majestic feeling.
After entering the temple, Li Yunfei immediately felt a mysterious atmosphere. The temple was dimly lit, and the walls were covered with ancient runes, flickering with a faint light. These runes seemed to contain endless wisdom and power, making Li Yunfei feel excited and nervous.
The old man pointed to the depths of the temple and said solemnly: "The answers you need are there, but there are many dangers, so you must think carefully." There was a hint of worry in his eyes, as if he was worried that Li Yunfei would ignore potential risks because of overconfidence.
Li Yunfei took a deep breath, and a gleam of determination flashed in his eyes. He was ready, and no matter what was waiting for him ahead, he would face it bravely. He looked at the old man gratefully, and then resolutely walked towards the depths of the temple.
Li Yunfei took a deep breath and said, "I'm ready."
