As soon as I put it on, I met a sickly man

At the entrance of the gloomy valley, thick fog rolled in like a giant beast with its bloody mouth wide open, and a pungent smell of sulfur filled the air.

Ding Chen took a deep breath and tightened his grip on the sword.

He knew that there was a dangerous place ahead, but for the sake of the village behind him, he had to rush in.

Xiaoxuan held his hand tightly, tears in her eyes: "Brother Ding, you must be careful..."

Ding Chen held Xiaoxuan's hand with his backhand and gave her a firm look: "Don't worry, I will definitely come back." He turned to look at everyone, "Everyone, be alert and follow me closely!"

Inside the valley, the fog was so thick that you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

Everyone moved forward cautiously, with slippery soil and rugged rocks under their feet.

Yingfeng was walking in front to explore the way. Suddenly, there was a light "click" sound under his feet, and then countless sharp arrows shot from all directions!

"Be careful!" General Lin shouted loudly, waving the long sword in his hand to block the sharp arrows shot at everyone one by one.

Ding Chen also drew out his sword to protect Xiaoxuan, and at the same time knocked away the arrow shot at Ah Hu.

The rain of arrows was so fierce that despite everyone's quick reaction, some people were still injured.

After the rain of arrows, everyone was still in shock. Before they could catch their breath, the ground beneath their feet suddenly began to shake.

"Oh no, it's a trap!" exclaimed the white-haired wise man.

I saw cracks appearing on the ground, and some people were caught off guard and fell into them.

Ding Chen was quick to act and grabbed Xiaoxuan who was about to fall and brought her to a safe place.

General Lin also rescued several villagers, but several people still fell into the trap and their lives were in danger.

Ying Feng's face was solemn: "It seems that we underestimated the strength of Hei Sha. This place is more dangerous than we thought."

"We can't retreat!" Ding Chen's eyes were firm. "For the sake of the village, we must move forward!" He looked around and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, watch your step and keep moving forward!"

Everyone continued to move forward cautiously, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Suddenly, Ding Chen felt a chill on his back...

He turned back sharply.

"who?!"

Ding Chen turned around suddenly and saw a black shadow rushing out from the thick fog like a ghost, surrounding them in an instant.

These shadow assassins were dressed in black and had their faces masked, revealing only a pair of cold eyes. They held sharp daggers in their hands, emitting a cold light.

"Kill!" A low command broke the silence of the valley.

The shadow assassin pounced on Ding Chen and others like a hungry wolf.

Ding Chen and General Lin stood back to back, forming a defensive formation.

Ding Chen's long sword danced tightly, blocking the incoming daggers one by one.

An assassin seized the opportunity and stabbed Ding Chen in the chest with a dagger.

Ding Chen dodged sideways, but the assassin was so fast that the dagger still cut his arm.

Blood gushed out instantly, staining his sleeves red.

Ding Chen gritted his teeth, ignored the pain, and punched the assassin hard in the face, knocking him away.

General Lin was not having an easy time either. He was fighting one against three, brandishing his long sword with great force.

He had rich combat experience and steady moves, and although he was outnumbered, he gradually gained the upper hand.

Yingfeng shuttled through the thick fog like a ghost, looking for the leader of the assassins.

He knew that to catch a thief, one must first catch the leader. Only by eliminating the leader could the offensive of these assassins be completely thwarted.

Xiaoxuan, Ahu and others hid behind the rocks, watching the fierce battle anxiously.

Xiaoxuan clenched her hands tightly and prayed silently for Ding Chen's safety.

An assassin went around behind Ding Chen and attempted a sneak attack.

At the critical moment, Yingfeng suddenly appeared and threw a dart accurately hitting the assassin's wrist.

The assassin screamed and the dagger dropped to the ground.

Ding Chen seized the opportunity and pierced the assassin's chest with a sword.

The battle continued, and the sound of weapons clashing and the screams of assassins could be heard from time to time in the thick fog.

Although Ding Chen and others fought bravely, the number of shadow assassins was large, and they continued to emerge from the thick fog, and the situation became increasingly critical.

Suddenly, Yingfeng stopped. He stared at a figure in the depths of the fog with a sharp gaze, a sneer on his lips.

"found it……"

Yingfeng's figure disappeared in the thick fog like a ghost, and when he appeared again, he was already behind the assassin leader.

The leader seemed to notice something and turned around suddenly, but only saw a flash of cold light.

The dagger in Yingfeng's hand accurately pierced the leader's shoulder, and blood gushed out.

The leader let out a painful roar and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.

When the assassins saw their leader injured, they immediately lost their composure.

Ding Chen and others seized the opportunity and launched a fierce counterattack.

Ding Chen's swordsmanship was sharp, and each sword strike carried the force of thunder, killing the assassins in front of him one by one.

General Lin wielded his sword with great vigor, like a tiger descending from the mountain, sweeping away all the assassins around him.

Xiaoxuan hid behind a rock and felt heartbroken when she saw the wound on Ding Chen's arm.

After the battle, she immediately took out the medicine box she carried with her and bandaged Ding Chen's wound.

She blew gently on the wound, tears in her eyes, and said softly: "Brother Ding, if something happens to you, what should I do?"

Ding Chen gently wiped away Xiaoxuan's tears and said softly, "Silly girl, I'll be fine as long as you are here." He looked at Xiaoxuan's worried eyes, and his heart was filled with warmth and strength.

After a short rest, everyone continued to go deeper into the valley.

Deep in the valley, the air was filled with miasma and the cold wind was blowing, making people shudder.

They advanced cautiously and finally found the Black Evil's lair.

The entrance to the nest is a huge cave, which is eerie and emitting a disgusting stench.

Bursts of eerie laughter and creepy whispers came from the cave.

"It seems they are plotting some evil plan." General Lin said solemnly.

Ding Chen nodded and motioned everyone to move closer to the cave entrance and listen carefully to the movements inside.

Only the cold voice of Heisha could be heard coming from the cave: "...As long as we destroy that village, we can get..."

Before Heisha could finish his words, he was interrupted by a burst of noise.

Everyone looked at each other and knew they had been discovered.

Ding Chen took a deep breath, his eyes determined: "Charge in!"
