Rift: Countdown to Doomsday

As night fell, the entire camp was illuminated by fire. Beside the campfire, Ling Feng was discussing the next action plan with his companions. Facing a powerful enemy, the strength of just a few of them was obviously not enough to deal with it. They needed more allies and more strength.

Ling Feng, are we really going to look for that guy? He is not an easy person to deal with. Lie Yan frowned. He did not trust the ally he was about to meet.

Lieyan, the current situation is not optimistic. As you said, we need more power. Ling Feng spoke in a firm tone. He looked up at the night sky and thought about various possibilities in his mind.

Do we have any other choice? Lan Ya asked softly, with a hint of uneasiness in her voice.

No. Ling Feng shook his head slowly. We must act as soon as possible. Time waits for no one.

Irene stood aside, silent. She knew that Ling Feng had made his decision, and all they could do was to support him, even if the road ahead was difficult.

So, when do we set out? Kane stood up, his eyes gleaming with determination.

Tomorrow morning, everyone should get ready before departure. Ling Feng glanced around and no one raised any objections.

The next morning, Ling Feng and his group were ready to go. They left the camp and headed towards the mountains in the north. A small village there was their destination. It was rumored that there was a hidden master there who might be able to become their powerful ally.

On the way, several people discussed as they walked.

The success of this operation is related to our survival. Ling Feng said, his voice calm and firm, we must convince him to join our camp.

What if he doesn't want to? Lan Ya asked, looking a little worried about the outcome of this action.

Then we have to prove ourselves with our strength. Lieyan clenched his fists, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

After a day's trek, they finally reached their destination. This small village was located at the foot of the mountain and looked peaceful and tranquil. The villagers seemed a little nervous when they saw Ling Feng and his group, but they did not show any hostility.

Excuse me, is there an old man named Gray living here? Ling Feng asked politely.

A villager nodded and said, yes, he lived at the end of the village.

Ling Feng led his companions to the end of the village and saw a simple hut in the distance. In front of the hut, a white-haired old man was sitting on a stone bench, looking at the mountains in the distance.

Mr. Gray, we are here to seek your help. Ling Feng stepped forward and got straight to the point.

The old man slowly turned his head, his eyes sharp and deep, "Young men, why are you here?"

Ling Feng briefly explained the current situation, hoping to impress this hidden master. However, Gray did not respond immediately, but remained silent for a moment.

Your courage and determination are admirable, but how can you convince me that you are worthy of my help? Gray's voice is low and powerful.

We are willing to accept any test as long as it can prove our determination and strength. Ling Feng answered without hesitation.

Gray smiled slightly and said, "Okay, tomorrow morning, come with me to the mountain and I will personally test your abilities."

The next morning, Ling Feng and his companions followed Gray up the mountain. The mountain road was rugged and the environment was harsh, but they all persisted without complaint.

Next, I will set up some obstacles in this mountain, and you need to pass them before sunset. Gray pointed to the dense forest ahead and said, "Only those who pass the test are worthy of my help."

Ling Feng nodded and said, “We will do our best.”

The test began, and several people immediately plunged into the intense challenge. In the dense forest, there were many traps and monsters, but Ling Feng and his partners cooperated tacitly and overcame them one by one.

Ling Feng, be careful! Lie Yan shouted, and Ling Feng quickly dodged the attack of a giant python and killed it with a backhanded sword.

Everyone, be careful and don't take it lightly. Ling Feng reminded them, and they continued to move forward.

Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, before sunset, Ling Feng and his team successfully passed all the tests. When they returned to the foot of the mountain, Gray had been waiting there for a long time.

You are outstanding and have proved your strength and determination. Gray smiled and said, I will join your team to fight against the upcoming enemy.

Ling Feng showed a gratified smile and said, "Thank you, Mr. Gray. With your help, we will be able to overcome all difficulties."

Night fell again, and this time, Ling Feng and his friends' camp had a powerful ally, more hope and confidence.
