Chapter 2
The mysterious person lurked quietly outside the village, observing every move of the small mountain village. His heart was filled with greed and desire, longing to find the legendary treasure. At this time, the villagers in the small mountain village were still immersed in the joy of Lin Feng slaying the black bear, completely unaware of the impending danger.
Lin Feng was filled with pride and a sense of accomplishment amid the villagers' praise. He knew that his bravery and wit had brought safety and security to the villagers. However, he also understood that in this unknown world, danger could descend at any time. He decided to work harder on cultivation and improve his strength so as to better protect himself and those around him.
Just as Lin Feng was pondering about the future, Xiaohu ran over. There was an excited smile on Xiaohu's face. He said to Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, you are so amazing! That black bear is really huge. How did you do it?"
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing. Just luck. But we still need to be careful in the future. There are quite a lot of wild beasts on the mountain."
Xiaohu nodded and said, "Yes. We must be more careful in the future. By the way, Lin Feng, have you ever thought about leaving this small mountain village and seeing the outside world?"
Lin Feng was slightly stunned. He had never thought about this question. In his heart, the small mountain village was his home, and he had never thought about leaving here. But Xiaohu's words made him fall into deep thought. He knew that the outside world was full of unknowns and challenges, but it was also full of opportunities and hopes. If he wanted to become stronger, perhaps he really should venture into the outside world.
"I don't know either." Lin Feng shook his head and said. "The outside world is too dangerous. I don't want to leave here. But what you said makes sense. Maybe one day, I will go and see the outside world."
Xiaohu smiled and said, "I knew you would say that. But don't worry. When we grow up, we will venture into the outside world together. It will definitely be very interesting."
Lin Feng nodded, his heart filled with anticipation. He knew that Xiaohu was his best friend, and they would definitely face future challenges together.
Just then, an old voice came: "Children, don't always think about going to the outside world. Although the outside world is full of opportunities, it is also full of dangers. You are still too weak now. Wait until you become stronger before going."
Lin Feng and Xiaohu turned around and saw an old man walking slowly over. The old man's face was covered with wrinkles, but his eyes were bright. He was an elder in the village and one of the people Lin Feng respected the most.
"Grandpa, we know." Lin Feng said. "We are just talking. We won't leave here easily."
The old man nodded and said, "You are all good children and know what's important. But you must also remember to always be vigilant and not let danger approach our village."
Lin Feng and Xiaohu nodded solemnly, indicating that they would remember the old man's words. The old man looked at them, his eyes full of love and expectation. He knew that these children were the future of the small mountain village. They must learn to protect themselves and the village.
After the old man left, Lin Feng and Xiaohu continued to play in the village. Together with other little friends, they ran and played in the fields, enjoying this beautiful time. However, they didn't know that a huge disaster was quietly approaching.
The mysterious person observed outside the village for a long time and finally found a suitable opportunity. He quietly sneaked into the small mountain village and began to look for the legendary treasure. His movements were light and agile, without making a sound. He carefully avoided the villagers' sight and searched everywhere in the village.
The mysterious person came to the center of the village, where there was an ancient temple. He felt a mysterious aura emanating from the temple. He guessed that the treasure might be here. He quietly entered the temple and began to search carefully.
The temple was filled with a stale atmosphere. The walls were covered with ancient paintings and runes. The mysterious person carefully observed these paintings and runes, trying to find some clues. Suddenly, his gaze was attracted by a painting. On the painting was a mysterious figure. He held a sword in his hand and exuded a powerful aura. The mysterious person felt that this person was likely to be the guardian of the treasure.
The mysterious person continued to search in the temple. Finally, he found an ancient chest in a corner. The chest was engraved with mysterious runes and emitted a powerful aura. The mysterious person was overjoyed. He knew that this chest probably contained the treasure he was looking for.
He carefully opened the chest. Inside, there was indeed a gem emitting a brilliant light. The light of the gem was dazzling, making it impossible to look directly at it. The mysterious person felt that this gem contained powerful power and was exactly the treasure he had been looking for.
However, just as the mysterious person was about to take away the gem, he suddenly felt a powerful aura approaching. He looked up and saw a figure slowly walking into the temple. This figure was Lin Feng's adoptive father, the Taoist priest of the Taoist temple.
The Taoist priest's face was full of anger and dignity. He looked at the mysterious person and said, "Who are you? Why did you break into our village?"
The mysterious person coldly looked at the Taoist priest and said, "Who I am is not important. What's important is that I have found what I am looking for. This gem is mine. No one can take it away."
The Taoist priest glared at the mysterious person and said, "This gem is the treasure of our village. You can't take it. Otherwise, you will pay a heavy price."
The mysterious person laughed and said, "Just by you? Do you think you can stop me? I tell you, this gem is mine today for sure."
As he spoke, the mysterious person emitted a powerful aura and pounced on the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest was not afraid at all. He raised the sword in his hand and met the mysterious person. The two instantly engaged in a fierce battle.
The mysterious person was extremely powerful. Every move and every style of his contained powerful strength. Although the Taoist priest was also very powerful, under the attack of the mysterious person, he gradually fell into a difficult situation. However, he did not give up. He tightly held the sword and continuously blocked the mysterious person's attacks.
Just when the Taoist priest was about to be unable to hold on, Lin Feng, Xiaohu, and others heard the commotion and rushed over. They saw the Taoist priest and the mysterious person fighting and were filled with shock and anger.
"You bad person, let go of the Taoist priest!" Lin Feng shouted.
The mysterious person turned his head, looked at Lin Feng and others, and there was a hint of contempt in his eyes. "You little brats also want to stop me? You are simply overestimating your abilities."
Lin Feng glared at the mysterious person and said, "We won't let you succeed. This gem is the treasure of our village. You can't take it."
As he spoke, Lin Feng picked up a wooden stick and rushed towards the mysterious person. Xiaohu and others also picked up weapons one after another and followed Lin Feng. Although they were young, their hearts were filled with courage and justice. They decided to fight the mysterious person to the end.
The mysterious person saw Lin Feng and others rushing over and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. He didn't expect these little brats to have such great courage. He decided to teach them a lesson and let them know his power.
The mysterious person brandished the weapon in his hand and pounced on Lin Feng and others. Lin Feng and others were not afraid at all. They bravely met the mysterious person. However, after all, their strength was too weak. Under the attack of the mysterious person, they soon fell into a difficult situation.
Just when Lin Feng and others were about to be unable to hold on, the Taoist priest suddenly shouted: "Children, run! It's too dangerous here."
Lin Feng and others hesitated for a moment, but they knew that what the Taoist priest said was right. Their strength was too weak now and they were no match for the mysterious person at all. They had to leave here first and then think of a way to deal with the mysterious person.
Lin Feng and others turned and ran towards the outside of the village. When the mysterious person saw them running away, he became even more annoyed. He decided to deal with the Taoist priest first and then chase after Lin Feng and others. He increased the intensity of his attacks and pounced on the Taoist priest.
Under the attack of the mysterious person, the Taoist priest gradually couldn't hold on. His body was covered with wounds and blood was constantly flowing out. But he still tightly held the sword and refused to give up.
"You bad person, I won't let you succeed." The Taoist priest gritted his teeth and said.
The mysterious person sneered and said, "Do you think you can stop me? Today, all of you will die."
As he spoke, the mysterious person once again pounced on the Taoist priest. This time, the Taoist priest could no longer resist the mysterious person's attack. He was hit by the mysterious person and fell to the ground.
When Lin Feng and others heard the Taoist priest's scream, their hearts were filled with grief and anger. They knew that the Taoist priest had paid a heavy price to protect them. They swore that they must avenge the Taoist priest and make the mysterious person pay the price he deserved.
After dealing with the Taoist priest, the mysterious person didn't immediately chase after Lin Feng and others. He knew that these little brats couldn't run far. He picked up the gem, carefully observed it for a while, and then put it into his bosom. He decided to leave here first and find a safe place to study the secret of this gem.
The mysterious person quietly left the small mountain village and disappeared into the vast mountain forest. And Lin Feng and others were running in the mountain forest. Their hearts were filled with fear and anger. They didn't know where to go or how to avenge the Taoist priest. But they knew that they couldn't give up just like that. They had to be strong and find a way to avenge the Taoist priest and the village.
After running in the mountain forest for some time, Lin Feng and others finally stopped. They sat on the ground, panting heavily, their hearts filled with confusion and helplessness.
"What should we do now?" Xiaohu asked.
Lin Feng was silent for a while and then said, "We can't give up just like that. We must find a way to avenge the Taoist priest."
"But our strength is too weak now. We are no match for that mysterious person at all." Another little friend said.
Lin Feng nodded and said, "I know. But we can't give up just because we are weak. We can go and find more powerful strength and then come back to avenge the Taoist priest."
"Where can we find more powerful strength?" Xiaohu asked.
Lin Feng thought for a while and said, "I heard that there is a cultivation sect in the distance. There are many powerful cultivators there. Perhaps we can go there and seek their help."
When Xiaohu and others heard Lin Feng's words, a glimmer of hope appeared in their eyes. They knew that this was their only way at present. They decided to go and find that cultivation sect together and avenge the Taoist priest.
So, Lin Feng and others embarked on the journey of looking for the cultivation sect. They didn't know how many difficulties and challenges lay ahead, but their hearts were filled with firm belief and courage. They believed that as long as they didn't give up, they would definitely find a way to avenge the Taoist priest and the village.
