Rift: Countdown to Doomsday

**Night, by the bonfire**

There is something wrong with the atmosphere in this area. Do you feel it? Ling Feng frowned and stared into the darkness in the distance.

Yeah, I feel the same way. Xuewu nodded, she tightly grasped the staff in her hand and looked around vigilantly. This sense of oppression was chilling.

Lieyan sat aside and whispered: There may be a powerful enemy hiding here. We must remain highly vigilant.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and the bonfire swayed violently, almost going out. Ling Feng quickly stood up, and a ray of light condensed in his hand, illuminating the surrounding environment.

Here they come! Get ready for battle! Ling Feng shouted.

In the darkness, several strange shadows approached quickly, carrying the breath of death. An Ying Assassin led the way and sneered: You self-righteous guys have finally fallen into our hands.

Xuewu waved her staff, and a frost barrier instantly rose up, blocking the enemy's attack. Don't underestimate us!

Lieyan drew out his sword and rushed forward to engage the enemy in close combat. Each of his strikes carried the power of fire, burning the enemy's body.

Xuewu, be careful of their assassins, their attack speed is extremely fast! Lingfeng warned, and at the same time released a lightsaber, accurately hitting a black shadow.

Got it! Xuewu responded, quickly changing her position and casting a frost field to slow down the enemy's movements.

The battle became more intense, and the number of enemies did not seem to decrease. The figure of the An Ying assassin wandered in the darkness, launching fatal attacks from time to time. Ling Feng and Xue Wu joined forces to fight, but the opponent's strength was obviously superior to theirs.

This won't do, we must find their weakness! Ling Feng gritted his teeth and felt the power in his body being consumed rapidly.

Perhaps we could try a joint attack and focus our firepower on their leader, Lieyan suggested.

Okay, Xuewu, get ready! Lingfeng and Xuewu exchanged a firm look and began to gather their strength at the same time.

Wind, fire, thunder, obey my command! Ling Feng chanted loudly, and the lightsaber in his hand emitted a dazzling light.

The power of frost, freeze everything! Xuewu's staff emitted a cold blue light, which intertwined with Lingfeng's light.

The two forces merged to form a powerful shock wave, which went straight to An Ying Assassin. An Ying Assassin's face changed, and he tried to dodge, but it was too late. The shock wave hit him, knocking him back hard and falling heavily to the ground.

Success! Lieyan shouted excitedly.

However, the enemy did not retreat. More shadows rushed towards them from all directions, and the situation remained critical.

We have to find a way to retreat, or we will be exhausted if we continue like this, Xuewu said nervously.

Follow me! Ling Feng led the way and rushed to the dense forest on one side. There was a secret cave we had explored before, which could temporarily avoid their pursuit.

The three retreated quickly and rushed into the dense forest. The enemy chased them closely, but under the cover of the dense forest, the three finally found the secret cave and quickly hid in it.

It's safe for now, Ling Feng said, panting.

But we can't hide here forever, we must find a solution. The flames clenched their fists, we need more power to fight them.

Yes, maybe we can look for the legendary guardians, who are said to have great power and can help us defeat these dark forces, Xuewu suggested.

Lingfeng nodded in agreement: This is a good idea. We will set off early tomorrow morning and head to the guardian's territory, hoping to get their help.

It was late at night, and the three took turns on duty. Although they were exhausted physically and mentally, they all had an unyielding fighting spirit in their hearts. The new threat brought them together more closely. They knew that only by working together could they overcome the difficulties in front of them and usher in a bright future. "
