Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 209 Sudden Change and Emergency Rescue

Inside the Qingyun Sect, the atmosphere was as heavy as the calm before a storm. Zhang Peng, Lin Wan'er, and Xia Lijuan paced anxiously in the council hall, their eyes frequently glancing towards the door, awaiting news from the reconnaissance team. As agreed, the reconnaissance team was to send out communication talismans periodically to report their progress, but the agreed time had long passed, and there was still no sign of the talismans.

“Something’s not right. It’s been so long; the reconnaissance team couldn’t have been completely silent.” Zhang Peng frowned, his unease growing stronger. “They must have run into serious trouble.”

Lin Wan'er frowned, her eyes filled with worry: "Could it be that the dark organization has discovered our actions and set a trap?"

Xia Lijuan echoed, "No matter what, we can't wait any longer; we have to hurry and go support them."

Zhang Peng took a deep breath and quickly made a decision: "Xia Lijuan, you stay in the sect and continue to strengthen the defense and preparations; Wan'er and I will go to the Misty Forest immediately and make sure to bring the team members back safely."

Although Xia Lijuan was worried, she understood the urgency of the situation and could only nod: "You must be careful. I'll wait for you to come back."

Zhang Peng and Lin Wan'er rode the Golden-Winged Roc, flying towards the Misty Forest at breakneck speed. Along the way, the wind howled, but it couldn't dispel the gloom in their hearts.

Soon, they reached the edge of the Misty Forest. As soon as they approached, a dense aura of darkness swept over them, and Zhang Peng and Lin Wan'er immediately circulated their spiritual energy to defend themselves. The Golden-Winged Roc also sensed the danger and let out a wary cry.

“This dark aura is even stronger than the reconnaissance team described. It seems the danger they encountered is far beyond what we imagined.” Zhang Peng’s expression was grave. He turned to Lin Wan’er and said, “Wan’er, be careful once we go inside. Don’t leave my side.”

Lin Wan'er nodded, gripping the staff tightly in her hand, her eyes filled with determination: "Don't worry, I'll be careful. We'll work together to rescue the team members."

The two stepped into the misty forest, where the fog instantly enveloped them. Zhang Peng unleashed the Chaos Spirit Technique, forming a five-colored spiritual energy shield in front of him to dispel the surrounding fog. At the same time, he released his spiritual energy perception to try and locate the reconnaissance team.

"Zhang Peng, look over there!" Lin Wan'er suddenly shouted, pointing ahead.

Looking over, Zhang Peng saw signs of a struggle on the ground, along with several pools of blood, which stood out starkly in the mist. His heart sank, and he quickly stepped forward to investigate, discovering some items belonging to the reconnaissance team.

“It’s Li Ming and his group. It seems they were indeed attacked here.” Zhang Peng picked up a torn piece of clothing, his brows furrowing even deeper.

Just then, a deep roar came from afar, accompanied by faint fluctuations of dark spiritual energy. Zhang Peng and Lin Wan'er exchanged a glance and immediately prepared for battle.

"Whatever it is, we'll handle it carefully later," Zhang Peng said in a low voice.

As soon as the voice faded, a gigantic mist bear slowly emerged from the fog. This bear was several times larger than the demonic wolf the reconnaissance team had encountered earlier, its entire body covered in thick black scales, each scale gleaming with a cold light. Its eyes, as large as lanterns, emitted a blood-red glow, and it spewed black mist from its mouth, instantly withering away any vegetation in its path.

"Be careful, this demonic bear is very strong!" Zhang Peng shouted, and took the lead in unleashing the power of the Chaos Spirit Technique, sending a five-colored sword aura towards the demonic bear.

The demonic bear roared and swung its massive paw, dispersing the sword energy. Its power was immense; the swing of its paw created a gust of wind that dispersed the surrounding mist.

Lin Wan'er quickly unleashed a wood-based spell, and countless vines surged from the ground, wrapping around the demonic bear. The demonic bear was entangled in the vines, its movements somewhat restricted. It struggled angrily, trying to break free.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhang Peng unleashed the power of the Chaos Pearl, sending a powerful surge of chaotic energy towards the demonic bear. Sensing the threat of this power, the demonic bear roared, opened its blood-red maw, and spewed out a cloud of black poisonous mist to resist the chaotic energy.

"Zhang Peng, this demonic bear's defense is too strong. It's very difficult for us to hurt it like this!" Lin Wan'er shouted anxiously.

Zhang Peng frowned deeply, knowing Lin Wan'er was right. This demonic bear was far stronger than he had imagined; to defeat it, he had to find its weakness. He carefully observed the bear's movements, trying to find an opening.

Suddenly, he noticed a tiny gap appearing on the scales of the bear's belly when it swung its paw. Although it was only for a brief moment, this might be its weakness.

"Wan'er, I've found its weakness! I'll distract it in a moment, and you can attack its abdomen while I'm at it!" Zhang Peng shouted to Lin Wan'er.

Lin Wan'er nodded: "Okay, I'm ready!"

Zhang Peng took a deep breath, unleashing his full power, fusing the Chaos Spirit Technique and the power of the Chaos Pearl to form a powerful attack that shot towards the demonic bear's head. The demonic bear hurriedly swung its paws to defend, instantly revealing an opening in its abdomen.

"Now!" Lin Wan'er shouted, unleashing her strongest wood-type spell. A thick vine shot towards the demonic bear's belly like a sharp arrow.
