Warren's Rise and Fall

When the first ray of sunlight sprinkled gently on Qingyuan Town like a golden thread, Wang Lunwo and others woke up early from their sleep. With a mixture of nervousness and excitement, they quickly packed their luggage and prepared to embark on the journey to Qingmu Mountain. Everyone carefully checked their weapons and equipment to ensure that they were foolproof in the upcoming unknown challenges. Wang Lunwo tightened the axe in his hand, his eyes revealing firmness and courage; Yan Jinfan gently stroked the sword in his hand, as if communicating with it silently; Liu Yong also wiped the long sword carefully, and the sharp blade flashed coldly in the sun; Ji Furong tidied her clothes, her posture was light and agile; although the old man Luo Qiming was old, the light in his eyes did not diminish at all. He carefully checked his bag, which was full of various props for dealing with emergencies.

They walked towards Qingmu Mountain in high spirits. Along the way, the morning breeze gently brushed their cheeks, but it could not dispel the tension that gradually spread in their hearts. As they gradually approached Qingmu Mountain, a depressing atmosphere weighed on everyone's hearts like an invisible burden. Qingmu Mountain was like a mysterious giant beast, standing there quietly. The mountain forest was as dense as a green ocean. The layers of branches and leaves blocked the sunlight tightly, making the mountain forest filled with thick fog, which made people feel inexplicably depressed.

"Everyone be careful, there's something wrong with the atmosphere here." Wang Lunwo whispered, his voice low and steady, his eyes full of vigilance, like a keen cheetah examining the surrounding environment. The others nodded, and involuntarily raised their vigilance, their nerves tense, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time. They walked forward slowly, not missing any suspicious signs, and took every step carefully, as if the ground under their feet might jump out of unknown dangers at any time.

Suddenly, a strange sound came from the woods. The sound was like a low roar or a sharp cry. It was particularly abrupt in the silent forest, and everyone became nervous.

"What's that sound?" Yan Jinfan asked nervously, his voice trembling slightly, and his hand unconsciously tightened the sword.

"I don't know. Be careful." Wang Lunwo said, tightening his grip on the axe in his hand, and the veins on his arm bulged slightly. They slowly walked towards the direction of the sound, and every step was full of caution. A huge beast rushed out of the woods. The beast was huge, like a small hill. Its fur was rough and thick, and it flashed with a strange luster. The sharp fangs flashed coldly in the sun, as if they could easily tear all prey apart. It bared its teeth and claws, and roared fiercely. Every time it waved its claws, it brought a gust of wind.

"It's the beast controlled by the flower thief's beast control technique!" The old man Luo Qiming shouted, with a hint of surprise and vigilance in his voice. Everyone immediately prepared for the battle, their eyes revealed determination and resoluteness, facing this sudden danger, there was no retreat. Wang Lunwo flashed, and rushed towards the beast as fast as an arrow from a string. His movements were agile and decisive, and the axe in his hand swung out a sharp axe aura, which seemed to be able to cut through the air and slashed at the beast fiercely. Every time he swung the axe, he brought all his strength and determination. His eyes were fixed on the beast, not missing any opportunity to attack. Yan Jinfan cast the spell of the water element on the side, and rays of light shot out from his hands. The light was like bright starlight, containing mysterious power, accurately attacking the beast's weaknesses. Liu Yong held a long sword and slashed at the beast's legs with force. His swordsmanship was sharp and accurate, and every sword was with the momentum of breaking bamboo, trying to trip it up. He nimbly shuttled around the beast, looking for the best angle to attack. Ji Furong nimbly dodged the beast's attack, her figure was like a dancing butterfly, light and agile. While dodging, she looked for an opportunity to launch a fatal attack. Her eyes flashed with calmness and wisdom, and she was always observing the beast's movements.

Under the joint attack of everyone, the beast gradually couldn't resist and let out a scream, its eyes revealing unwillingness and fear. But the instinct for survival made it turn around and run away, its movements were panic and awkward, and its huge body rushed through the woods.

"Don't let it run away!" Wang Lunwo shouted, his voice full of determination, and immediately chased after it. The others followed closely behind him, and they shuttled through the woods, chasing the beast. Leaves flew past them quickly, and branches kept whipping them, but they didn't care at all. They had only one thought in their minds, that is, not to let the beast escape. After a while, they came to a cave, and the beast went into the cave without hesitation.

"This should be the hiding place of the flower thief." said the old man Luo Qiming. His voice was low and steady, and there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

"Everyone be careful, there may be a trap inside." Wang Lunwo warned, his voice serious and earnest. They walked into the cave carefully. There was a pungent smell inside, which made people sick, as if it was the breath of death. The light in the cave was dim, with only a few faint rays of light coming in from the cave entrance. They could only grope their way forward. The ground under their feet was rugged and uneven, and stones would trip them from time to time. Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from inside, and everyone immediately became alert, and their heartbeats accelerated involuntarily.

"Who is it? Come out!" Wang Lunwo shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the cave, full of majesty and vigilance. As the footsteps got closer, a figure appeared in front of them. This person was the flower thief, who was no longer wearing a mask. His face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. He looked at Wang Lunwo and others coldly, his eyes full of resentment. His eyes revealed a kind of evil and madness, as if he was full of hatred for Wang Lunwo and others.

"You are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time." The flower thief said sarcastically. His voice was sharp and harsh, making people shudder.

"You evil thief, today is your death!" Wang Lunwo said angrily, his eyes burning with anger, holding the weapon tightly in his hand, as if he would rush up to fight to the death with the flower thief at any time. After that, he took the lead in attacking the flower thief. His body was like a cannonball, rushing towards the flower thief quickly, and the axe in his hand swung out a sharp axe. Others also joined the battle. The flower thief was very powerful. He performed the beast control technique, muttering something in his mouth, and quickly forming seals with his hands. In an instant, several wild beasts rushed out of the darkness, they bared their teeth and claws, and pounced on Wang Lunwo and others. For a time, the cave was filled with fierce fighting sounds and shouts, swords were flying, and lights were flashing. People and beasts fought to the death in this narrow space.

Wang Lunwo and his companions were not afraid at all. They cooperated with each other and had a tacit understanding. Wang Lunwo dodged the attacks of the beasts while looking for the flaws of the flower thief. His eyes were sharp and firm. Yan Jinfan continued to cast spells of the water element to provide support and cover for his teammates. His spells were like gorgeous fireworks, shining brightly in the darkness. Liu Yong, relying on his agility and superb swordsmanship, launched a fierce battle with the beasts. His long sword danced in his hand like a flash of lightning, and every attack could injure the beasts. Ji Furong flexibly shuttled through the battlefield. She sometimes attacked the beasts and sometimes assisted her teammates. Her posture was light and agile, like a smart swallow. After a fierce battle, the flower thief gradually showed a decline. His forehead was covered with sweat and his breathing became rapid. His beasts were also defeated one by one. Some fell to the ground and groaned in pain, while others fled back into the darkness. He was left alone, and his eyes revealed a hint of despair and madness.

"You can't run away!" Wang Lunwo shouted, pointing the long sword in his hand at the flower thief, his eyes full of confidence in victory. Seeing this, the flower thief dodged and came out of the cave. "Before, the cave was narrow, and my beast control technique could not be fully utilized. Now you can take a good look at my beast control technique." After saying that, the flower thief took out a flute and started to play. The sound of the flute was melodious and strange, as if a mysterious power was spreading in the air.

Several people chased out of the cave. At this time, there were already many poisonous snakes around. They spit out their tongues, made a "hissing" sound, and flashed a cold light in their eyes. There were also some mountain wolves, their eyes flashed green light in the dark, showing sharp fangs and making low roars. There were also several tigers, they stood there majestically, the stripes on their bodies were like mysterious totems, and every roar shook the forest. Seeing this trend, the number was still increasing, and the atmosphere around became more and more tense and terrifying.

"We can't let him go on. We must interrupt his spellcasting." Wang Lunwo shouted, his eyes revealing determination and resoluteness, and he rushed towards the flower thief without hesitation. His body was like a flash of lightning, shuttling through the beasts and approaching the flower thief.

"Sorry, I won't accompany you today. You guys should deal with the remaining beasts. Oh, by the way, let me remind you that there are indeed some girls in the cave, but I have already picked them. You should rescue them. Isn't this what you noble and upright people like to do the most? Hahahaha." After saying that, the flower thief jumped onto the eagle and planned to leave. The eagle spread its huge wings, flapped a gust of wind, and raised the dust on the ground.

"You can't let the tiger go back to the mountain. I'll stop him first, and you guys deal with the remaining beasts." Liu Yong said as he soared into the air. His body was like a flying bird, flying towards the flower thief. Soon the two began to fight in the air. The momentum of the Condensation Dan Realm was fully exposed at this moment. There was a strong wind blowing in the air, as if to tear everything around. Liu Yong's swordsmanship was sharp and changeable. Each sword carried a powerful force and momentum, attacking the flower thief. The flower thief relied on his flexible body movements to constantly dodge Liu Yong's attacks, while also commanding the eagle to counterattack.

The remaining elder Luo Qiming, Ji Furong, Yan Jinfan and Wang Lunwo also let go. Except for Wang Lunwo, the other three also revealed their cultivation in the Condensation Dan Realm. A strong aura emanated from their bodies, spreading around like surging waves. Elder Luo Qiming took out a magic weapon in his hand, which flashed with golden light. He muttered something, and the magic weapon instantly released a powerful force, shocking the surrounding beasts. Ji Furong performed a mysterious martial art. A layer of faint light appeared around her body. Her speed became faster and her strength became stronger. She rushed towards the beasts, and every attack could injure or knock down the beasts. Yan Jinfan continued to cast spells, and his spells fell on the beasts like raindrops, causing great damage to the beasts. As a result, the beasts fled without a fight, scared away by the pressure of the few people in the Condensation Dan Realm.

"Wang Lunwo, you go to the cave to rescue the trapped girls, and we will go to help Liu Yong." Ji Furong said as she flew into the sky first, her figure light and graceful, like a dancing butterfly. Yan Jinfan and Luo Qiming followed closely behind, their faces full of determination. Wang Lunwo went back to the cave to look for the trapped girls, his heart full of worry and sympathy for the girls.

Wang Lunwo was groping in the cave, and he activated the water perception. Under the water perception, he clearly sensed that there was a space on one side of the cave, which should be a secret room. He began to look for the mechanism of the secret room. His hand gently groped on the wall, not letting go of every stone. Finally, he found a protruding stone, pressed it lightly, and heard a "boom", and the door of the secret room slowly opened. The girls inside looked at him with horror, as if they regarded him as another demon who wanted to act. Their eyes were full of fear and despair, and their bodies kept shaking.

Seeing this, Wang Lunwo comforted them, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to rescue you. We have driven the flower thief out of the cave." His voice was gentle but firm, trying to give the girls a sense of security.

One of the brave girls asked softly, "Sir, are you telling the truth?" Her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of expectation and doubt.

"Every word is true. Come with me." Wang Lunwo said with a warm and sincere smile. After hearing this, many girls burst into tears of joy. Their tears flowed like a flood. It was the release of hope they finally saw after experiencing a long period of fear and despair. They followed Wang Lunwo out of the cave. At this time, the people in the air were still fighting, and the aftermath of the battle was blowing towards the cave like a strong wind.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. We will be able to take down the flower thief soon." Although Wang Lunwo said this, he was a little worried in his heart. After all, he couldn't fly in the air, and it was still unknown whether his combat power could take down the flower thief. Now he just had to comfort the trapped girls. There was a trace of anxiety in his eyes, but he still tried to stay calm. He knew that at this time, he couldn't let the girls panic again. He took the girls to a relatively safe place and let them sit down to rest. Then he stood aside, watching the battle in the air vigilantly, ready to deal with any possible situation at any time.
