Chapter 65: A New Mission

Lynn and the team members left the city that had once been shrouded in darkness with the joy of victory. The people in the city were full of gratitude towards them and came to see them off one after another. The children pulled at their clothes, their eyes twinkling with hope; the old people kept blessing them, hoping that they could continue to save more places.

"Although we've defeated the man in the black robe, there are still many places in the wasteland world suffering from the evil forces. We can't stop," Lynn said to the team members. The team members nodded one after another, and their eyes showed firm determination.

They decided to return to the base first to sort out the gains from this time and formulate the next - step plan. After returning to the base, the people in the base held a grand welcome ceremony for them. Everyone was proud of their victory and also full of expectations for their next actions.

In the meeting room of the base, Lynn and the team members began to discuss the next - step plan. Through their previous exploration and battles, they found that there were several strongholds of evil forces in the wasteland world. These strongholds were like cancerous tumors, constantly emitting dark energy to the surrounding areas.

"We must destroy these strongholds as soon as possible, or the evil forces will become more and more powerful," Lynn analyzed. The team members all agreed and began to study the characteristics and defensive situations of each stronghold.

After some discussion, they decided to start with the nearest stronghold. This stronghold was located in a desolate desert. It was said that there was a group of powerful desert demons hiding inside. These demons were good at using the desert environment to attack, and their bodies were very hard. Ordinary attacks could hardly cause any damage to them.

"We need to make full preparations and formulate tactics according to the characteristics of the desert demons," Lynn said. The team members got busy. They collected all kinds of equipment suitable for use in the desert and also studied how to break the defenses of the desert demons.

During the preparation process, Lynn suddenly thought of the power of the gem. He thought that the healing and purifying ability of the gem might play a greater role in the desert. "We can use the power of the gem to purify the dark energy in the desert and also heal the injured team members," Lynn said. After hearing this, the team members all thought it was a good idea.

After several days of preparation, they finally set off on the journey to the desert stronghold. Along the way, the desert environment was extremely harsh. The strong sunlight scorched the earth, and the hot sand made it difficult to walk. However, the team members were not intimidated by these difficulties. With firm beliefs and tenacious perseverance, they moved forward step by step towards the stronghold.

When they got close to the stronghold, they found that the air around was filled with a pungent smell, which made them feel a bit dizzy. "Be careful. This might be the poisonous gas released by the desert demons," Lynn reminded. The team members took out their gas masks one after another and continued to move forward after putting them on.

Finally, they came to the front of the stronghold's gate. The gate was very tall and engraved with strange runes. These runes emitted an evil aura, which made people shiver. "It seems that this gate is not easy to open," a team member said. Lynn carefully observed the runes on the gate and found that these runes seemed to be a kind of magic seal.

"Let's try to use the power of the gem to break this seal," Lynn said. He took out the gem, concentrated his mind, and injected the power of the gem into the runes. Miraculously, the runes began to flash and then gradually disappeared. The gate slowly opened, and a low growl came from inside.

"It seems that the desert demons inside have discovered us. Everyone, get ready for battle," Lynn said. The team members tightened their weapons in their hands and followed Lynn into the stronghold.

It was very dark inside the stronghold, and only a few dim torches were flickering. They walked forward carefully. Suddenly, a group of desert demons rushed out from the darkness. These demons were huge in size, with skin as hard as rocks. Their eyes glowed red, and they let out sharp screams.

The battle broke out instantly. The desert demons waved their huge claws and pounced on the team members. The team members quickly used the power of the gem and the divine artifacts to defend themselves and at the same time looked for opportunities to counter - attack. In the battle, they found that the attacks of the desert demons were very fierce, and their speed was also very fast. However, the team members did not retreat. With the power of the team and their previous training, they engaged in a fierce battle with the desert demons.

Lynn kept observing the weaknesses of the desert demons during the battle. He found that when the demons attacked, they would expose a weak point on their abdomen. "Everyone, pay attention. There is a weak point on their abdomen. Let's concentrate our attacks there!" Lynn shouted loudly. After hearing the order, the team members quickly adjusted their tactics and concentrated all their strength on the abdomen of the desert demons.

Under the fierce attack of the team members, the desert demons began to suffer casualties. However, they didn't give up easily. Instead, they became even more crazy. They began to summon sandstorms in the desert, trying to bury the team members.

"Not good, the sandstorm is coming! Everyone, quickly find a place to take shelter!" Lynn shouted. The team members looked for shelters one after another to avoid the attack of the sandstorm. In the sandstorm, the vision of the team members was seriously affected, and their strength was also gradually consumed.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Lynn was a bit anxious. However, he suddenly thought of the healing and purifying ability of the gem. He took out the gem and used the healing and purifying power to try to disperse the sandstorm. Under the illumination of the light from the gem, the power of the sandstorm began to gradually weaken. Seeing this, the team members' morale was greatly boosted, and they launched another attack on the desert demons.

After a tough battle, the team members finally defeated the desert demons and successfully destroyed the stronghold. They found some clues about other strongholds of evil forces in the stronghold, which made them full of confidence in their next actions.

"Our mission is not over yet. Next, we are going to continue to go to other strongholds to completely eliminate the evil forces," Lynn said to the team members. The team members nodded one after another. With a new mission, they set off on a new journey again.
