Heroes of Troubled Times: Chronicles of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms

Zhu Wen lingered in front of the treasure, with complex emotions surging in his heart. He understood that they had successfully foiled the Shadow Organization's conspiracy and protected the prince, but this was only the beginning.

Zhu Dali, Huang Ying, medical officer Bian Yong and Luo Feilong stepped into a mysterious forest. The trees are tall, and bursts of light shine through the dense branches and leaves.

"The herb we are looking for to cure the prince's curse should be in this forest."Medical officer Bian Yong frowned and searched the surrounding plants intently.

Luo Feilong held the map in his hand tightly and checked the route carefully. They knew that time was tight and every moment could be related to the life or death of the prince.

Suddenly, An unusual sound came from a distance. The sound from the woods immediately alerted them.

Zhu Dali drew out his long sword, tensed his body, and looked around alertly. Huang Ying drew out his double daggers, ready to do anything at any time. counterattack

"Someone is following us! Huang Ying said softly, a trace of calmness flashed across her eyes.

Medical officer Bian Yong concentrated on searching for the surrounding atmosphere. She found a very secretive bush, hiding a person.

Luo Feilong behaved like a leopard. The figure approached quietly, and found that the man turned out to be Tian Lingzi's confidant - a tall man, dressed in black, with a gloomy expression on his face

"Who are you? Why follow us? Luo Feilong asked coldly, and a feeling of nervousness suddenly arose in his heart. A cunning look flashed in the man's eyes, and he replied in a deep voice:"I am sent by Tian Lingzi to protect you.""

Everyone was thinking after hearing this. Tian Lingzi actually sent people to follow them? Is there a more complicated conspiracy hidden behind this?

Zhu Dali clenched the hilt of his sword and said in a stern tone:"If you are really here to protect us, then make it clear. , why did Tian Lingzi send people to follow us?"

The man laughed viciously, showing his white teeth.

"Tian Lingzi does not want to protect you. He suspects that you have mastered the method to remove the prince's curse. He sent me to stop you."

Everyone was stunned, with a look of disbelief in their eyes. Tian Lingzi was so cunning that he dared to hinder them from rescuing the prince.

Huang Ying slowly waved his swords, with a sneer on his lips:"In this case, we can only get rid of him first. You say it again."

The sword light flashed, and a fierce battle started in the forest. Everyone showed off their unique skills and tried their best with the man. The battle was extremely fierce, the trees were chopped by the sword energy, and the land was trampled into bumps. Everyone was agile and cooperated. With a tacit understanding, he started a life-and-death duel with that man.

Luo Feilong was agile and shuttled quickly through the battlefield. He combined sword and boxing skills with every move, forcing the opponent to retreat.

Zhu Dali stabbed the opponent's chest with his sword. The sword flashed across his heart like lightning. However, the man's figure instantly disappeared into the air, turned into a black shadow, and rushed towards everyone again.

"His movements are so mysterious!"Medical officer Bian Yong looked at the black shadow in astonishment.

Huang Ying gritted her teeth tightly, determined not to let the other party have the slightest chance."We can't let him escape, otherwise the whole plan will fail."She reminded everyone loudly.

Zhu Wen's eyes flickered. He knew that the importance of this battle to protect the prince could not be ignored. He concentrated and had a comprehensive grasp of the situation. The battle continued, and every attack was like The thunder exploded, and the impact point always seemed to be a few inches in front of the shadowy man.

And the man became more and more cunning, and he avoided everyone's most subtle moves.

Luo Feilong was not afraid, he relied on his keen insight With strong strength and excellent reaction speed, he made a reasonable response to every change of the man.

"not good! His swordsmanship is getting sharper and sharper, and his speed is getting faster and faster!"Medical officer Bian Yong felt a trace of worry in his heart.

Huang Ying observed every move of the other party with concentration. She secretly made up her mind that no matter what, she would not let the other party escape.

Zhu Dali clenched the hilt of the sword, exuding a surging momentum.. He took a deep breath and attacked the man like a storm.

The battle entered a fierce stage, the sword light bloomed, and the moves alternated. Everyone fought with the man day and night.

Suddenly, an earth-shattering sword energy shot out and broke through He entered the dark forest and stabbed the man unstoppably.

However, at the moment when the sword energy hit, the man disappeared again.

An invisible air flow rushed towards them, and everyone was instantly plunged into darkness.

"He escaped!"There was a hint of helplessness in Zhu Wen's voice. In the darkness, they never saw the mysterious man again. The footsteps gradually faded away, and everyone stopped in silence. They knew that although they missed the man, they still couldn't. They didn't let down their guard

"We move on. Zhu Wen said firmly,"The herbs must be in front, we can't stop.""

Everyone regained their energy and continued to move forward. They gradually moved forward with firm steps, but there was a tense atmosphere in their hearts. As time passed by, the atmosphere in the forest became more and more depressing. Everyone could not help but speed up their pace, Strengthen vigilance.

Finally, they came to a stone cave. The cave entrance was hazy and seemed to hide endless secrets.

Luo Feilong opened the map and confirmed that he had found the correct location,"This is where the herbs grow."

Everyone looked around alertly, preparing to step into the cave. They understood that the herbal medicine was not only related to the life and death of the prince, but could also be the key to unlocking the entire conspiracy.

After entering the cave, they found that it was pitch black inside, without any light. But they did not give up. They used their intuition and experience to move forward cautiously. The sound of footsteps echoed in the cave, and everyone was always alert to prevent any emergencies.

Suddenly, a faint beam of light came from the cave wall in front. From above, it was a beam of slightly flashing fluorescent light.

Everyone's eyes were focused on that beam of light. They quickened their pace and approached the stone wall in front.

Finally, they came to an open place with all kinds of strange things scattered on the ground. of herbs, one of which gave off a faint green light.

Medical officer Bian Yong stepped forward and carefully picked the green herb.

"Success! We found the herb that saved the prince!"Medical officer Bian Yong said happily.

Zhu Wen believed that more herbs were needed to ensure the safety of the prince. He sent medical officer Bian Yong to bring four rare herbs: Celestial Clothes Grass, Sun and Moon Spirit Core, Star Glaze, and Tianyuan Mixed Pill Herbal medicines, these herbs are the key to lifting the prince's curse.

Medical officer Bian Yong put these precious herbs into the medicine bag and guarded them carefully. She understood that the value of these herbs was immeasurable, and once lost, it would be a huge loss.

"We must return to Chang'an as soon as possible to treat the prince. Bian Yong said firmly,"Every minute and every second may determine the prince's life or death.""

Luo Feilong realized the urgency of the situation, and he immediately mobilized five thousand elite soldiers, preparing to lead them through the five checkpoints and return to Chang'an as soon as possible.
