Origin Legend: Heroic Hymn

"Oh, that hurts! Alice, where are we?"

When Ling Feng woke up, he felt pain all over his body. Alice, who was beside him, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him wake up.

"We are now in the forest and have lost our way. Wu Ke La went out to find water and left me to take care of you who are unconscious."

"So, my plan was successful?"

Thinking back to when she was surrounded by monsters just now, she still felt a palpitation in her heart, but the joy of surviving the disaster could not be concealed, and Alice showed a happy smile.

"Yes, it worked! We have separated ourselves from the herd."

“It’s great to be successful!”

Ling Feng also breathed a sigh of relief. Alice stared at Ling Feng with envy, which made Ling Feng feel a little uncomfortable.

"Alice? What's going on?"

"No, nothing happened. I just suddenly felt that the magic swordsman was so powerful! Especially the magic he used just now. It was really effective against monsters!"

Ling Feng shook his head with a wry smile. He didn't want to endure that kind of physical pain and mental trance again.

"Teacher Anna didn't let me learn that magic at first! This magic cannot specify a target, and it is released at random locations within a certain range, which means it is a group attack regardless of friend or foe.

If you are not careful and land in a group of your own people, it will basically kill all your teammates. It is a very risky skill! Look, even I, the caster, got hit just now!"

Alice couldn't help but shudder. If the magic just now had been a little more towards them, the result would have been exactly the opposite!

"Then you should be careful and try not to use it in the future! It's terrible!"

Ling Feng couldn't help but shiver when he thought of the scary scene that just happened.

"Yeah! After this incident, I'm a little scared myself!"

"Ling Feng, are you awake?"

The sound from behind startled the two men. When they turned around, they saw Wu Ke La coming towards them with a kettle.

"Here, drink some water! You probably haven't had any water for most of the day!"

After hearing what Wu Kela said, Ling Feng suddenly felt his throat dry. He took the water bottle handed over by Wu Kela and was about to drink it when he found Alice beside him swallowing hard.

Ling Feng took out a water cup from his backpack, poured a glass of water, and handed the kettle to Alice. Alice took the kettle and couldn't wait to put it in her mouth, and Ling Feng also drank two sips of water with a smile.

"Ah! Alive!"

Alice put down the kettle in her hand and sighed softly.

"Ling Feng, I didn't expect you to bring your own water cup."

"It's mainly because of Rita. She said before that she has mysophobia, so she won't let others use things she has used. Especially things like water cups, kettles, chopsticks, and soup spoons. But every time she brings me food, she only brings one set of tableware, so I keep one set in my backpack..."

Alice couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard this. Thinking back to someone who was equally unromantic, she suddenly felt annoyed.

"Ling Feng! You are a piece of wood! A wooden stake! You don't understand girls' minds at all! Are all you men like this?"

Ling Feng was frightened by Alice and most of the water in the cup in his hand spilled out.

"Um, Alice, did I do something wrong?"

"Humph! Experience it yourself!"

Wu Kela was so jealous watching this scene that his teeth were about to break. He felt uncomfortable no matter how he thought about it.

Damn it! Why can't I be the one who gets to dine with the cute girl? This guy who got the advantage without realizing it is so hateful!

Wu Kela forced himself to suppress the envy in his heart, pretending to be relaxed no matter how he looked at her, and reminded Ling Feng of something in a seemingly calm voice.

"Ling Feng, it's almost time to use the sensor stone!"

"Oh, yeah! I almost forgot."

Ling Feng reached into his backpack again and took out the sensor stone. It was already dusk, and thinking that Rita might still be worried about his safety, Ling Feng was a little uneasy.

He held the sensing stone tightly and transmitted magic power into it. After feeling the signal being sent out, he took the sensing stone back.

Not long after, something was approaching them from the bushes not far away. Ling Feng moved towards that place with a happy look on his face. Seeing this, the other two followed Ling Feng.

"Rita! I didn't expect you guys were nearby..."

Ling Feng pushed aside the bushes, and the person who appeared in front of him very close was not Rita, not even a woman!

Ling Feng's action startled the man in front of him. Both of them reflexively took two steps back, drew their weapons and prepared for battle.

The man in front of him had a handsome appearance, and his mysterious gray hair was particularly eye-catching. He was wearing a black cloth robe and a white cloak, holding a long sword in each hand, and he was standing in a majestic formation.

"Who are you? Are you here to kill me?"

Ling Feng, who was greeted in such an unfriendly manner, responded in the same impolite manner.

"I am Ling Feng of the Winged Emblem, and I am here to carry out a mission. If there is nothing else, we will say goodbye now!"

Alice and Wu Kela came out from behind and saw the confrontation. Alice covered her mouth and muttered softly.

"Someone from Shadow Clan?"

Wu Kela also raised his shield, grasped the sword tightly in his hand and prepared for the battle.

"What is your purpose for coming here? The Shadow Clan has been isolated from the world for a long time. Why do you show up at this time? Are you related to Chimera?"

The mysterious swordsman curled his lips in disdain and looked at the three people in front of him with sharp eyes. As long as the other party made any unusual movements, he would immediately launch a strong counterattack.

"I have nothing to do with those ignorant guys, so don't compare me with them!"

"Then answer me simply! Are you our enemy?"

"No! But I am not your friend either. I travel around the world only to pursue a higher realm of swordsmanship!"

Wu Kela lowered his stance, and asked Ling Feng and Alice to do the same. The strange man put his sword back to his waist. There was no fight between the two sides. Wu Kela turned around and explained to the two of them.

"People from Shadow Clan don't lie, so what he said is credible."

When the mysterious swordsman heard Wu Ke La, his eyes were filled with extreme confidence and he laughed out loud.

"There's no need for me to lie. After all, strength is not built on lies!"

Although Ling Feng felt that this person made him uncomfortable, he still told him the current situation in the vicinity out of kindness.

"There are many monsters gathering around here now. Their leader is Chimera. Mr. Swordsman, if you are alone, I hope you will be careful."

As soon as the words fell, a roar was heard not far away. Everyone felt something rushing towards them, and everyone once again entered a state of preparation for battle.

A white shadow flashed by and attacked Wu Kela who was holding a large shield, knocking him directly into the tree. The white shadow appeared in front of everyone. It was a saber-toothed tiger about three or four meters long and two meters high, staring at everyone with fierce eyes.

Wu Kela shook his head uncomfortably. It seemed that his brain was a little dizzy due to the severe impact, but this did not affect his fighting. He got into a stance again, holding shield and sword, and launched a frontal attack on the saber-toothed tiger.

Ling Feng, who was standing by, took advantage of the saber-tooth tiger's inattention and used Flame Devour! However, it didn't work, and the flying black flames of Flame Devour were easily dodged by the extremely fast saber-tooth tiger.
