While passing through a lush forest, the chirping of birds in the forest suddenly became urgent, as if warning something. There was an unusual atmosphere in the air, as if nature itself was preparing for what was about to happen.
"Do you feel that there is something wrong with the atmosphere in this forest?" Zhou Lili asked with a frown. Her senses are sharp and she can always detect subtle changes in the surrounding environment at the first time.
"Indeed, there seems to be something guiding us forward." Zhao Lei held the weapon in his hand tightly and looked around cautiously.
Suddenly, a small cry for help came from not far ahead. Although the voice was small, it was extremely clear in the silent forest. "Help... please help me..."
The five people looked at each other and quickly ran towards the source of the sound. Pushing aside the dense bushes, they saw a girl curled up on the ground, her body covered with small scratches. She had obviously suffered a lot during the escape.
The girl raised her head, revealing a frightened but cute face - her big eyes flashed with the light of survival, her small nose trembled slightly, and although there were blood stains on the corners of her lips, she could still recognize her natural sweetness.
"Are you okay? We are here to help you." Lin Feng knelt down gently and tried to calm her down.
The girl's name was Li Qianqian. She looked at everyone gratefully, with a hint of disbelief flashing in her eyes. "Thank you, I escaped from that...that place." She pointed tremblingly into the distance, where a blackened building could be vaguely seen.
The silhouette of the castle shrouded in fog is eerie and scary.
"That place is?" Chen Sui asked doubtfully. The key to time and space trembled slightly in his hand, as if he sensed some ominous omen.
"That is the outskirts of the Shadow Abyss, a place called the 'Shadow Castle'. There is a group of terrifying monsters living in it. I...I managed to escape with great difficulty." Li Qianqian's voice was weak, and the fear had not completely faded away.
.
Hearing this, the five of them all understood that this unexpected encounter was probably not just a coincidence. Chen Sui looked at his friends, and the eye contact between them conveyed a firm belief that they must help this girl. At the same time, this might also be possible.
It's a clue to unlocking the secrets of ancient power.
"Li Qianqian, don't be afraid. From now on, we will protect you." Chen Sui promised, with undoubted power in his words.
"But...but, they will come to me. Those monsters and their masters will not let anyone escape easily." Li Qianqian looked increasingly anxious.
"As long as we are here, no one can harm you." Zhao Lei said firmly, the weapon in his hand shining with the light of justice in the sun.
Just as they were about to leave, suddenly, a cold breath swept from the depths of the forest, accompanied by a creepy sneer: "Escape? Do you think there is really such an easy place to escape in this world?"
Everyone quickly set up their positions, and the Key of Space and Time in Chen Sui's hand emitted an even stronger light, as if to warn of the coming threat. At this crisis-ridden moment, Li Qianqian held Chen Sui's clothes tightly, with something in his eyes.
There is also trust in fear.
"Don't be afraid, we will prove to you that light can always dispel darkness." Chen Sui comforted Li Qianqian softly, then turned around and faced the invisible enemy with a firm tone, "Come out, no matter who you are, we will
They won’t back down!”
Before he finished speaking, a figure wearing a black cloak slowly walked out of the shadow of the forest. His eyes were like an abyss with no bottom. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth and he said slowly: "Interesting, it's really interesting. Chen Sui, it's still
With your friends, it seems that your story will be more exciting than I imagined."
"Who are you? What is your connection with Shadow Abyss?" Zhou Lili asked, without the slightest fear in her eyes.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that what you are about to step into is an abyss far beyond imagination. Are you ready to meet your destiny?" After the man in black robe finished speaking, he swayed and disappeared again.
He disappeared into the shadows, leaving only a spine-chilling laughter.
"No matter what is waiting for us ahead, we have to face it together." Chen Sui turned to look at his friends. Everyone nodded firmly. Even Li Qianqian seemed to draw strength from it, and his expression changed.
Have to be more determined.
"Let's go, take Li Qianqian out of here safely first." Chen Sui ordered decisively. He knew that the confrontation with the mysterious black-robed man was only a matter of time. The most important thing at the moment was to ensure Li Qianqian's safety.
After passing through the dense forest, the group of people, led by Li Qianqian, carefully bypassed the Shadow Castle. Every time they looked back at the castle, they seemed to feel countless pairs of eyes peering behind them. The wind around them seemed to be whispering,
Telling unknown horror stories.
"Do you really believe that...the Shadow Castle contains the key to unlocking the ancient power?" Zhao Lei asked as he walked, his tone mixed with curiosity and worry.
"Whether it's true or false, that's the answer we must explore." Chen Sui replied with a determined look. He knew in his heart that since fate led them to this path, there must be arrangements.
Li Qianqian walked in the middle of the team, looking back from time to time, fearing that the monsters would suddenly come after her. Lin Feng noticed her nervousness, and began to tell some relaxing and interesting stories about the journey, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.
"You know, one time Wen Jing and I got lost in the mountains and ended up in a small village full of monkeys. Those monkeys could even grill fish! Although we were chased all over the mountains in the end, it's still quite interesting to think about it now.
of."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, and Li Qianqian's face finally showed its first smile since escaping. This warm atmosphere seemed to soften the surrounding air.
As night fell again, they found a relatively secluded cave as a temporary camp. Sitting around the campfire, Li Qianqian finally plucked up the courage to tell more about Shadow Castle.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The monsters there not only possess terrifying power, but more importantly, they can control the fear and despair in people's hearts and make them kill each other. I have witnessed with my own eyes,
After a brave warrior entered the castle, it didn't take long before he was driven crazy by the fear in his heart."
Hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought. Li Wenjing said softly: "The inner light is indeed our most powerful weapon, but how to stay awake in that environment is a challenge."
"Perhaps the man in black robe just wants to test our will and determination." Lin Feng said thoughtfully, "No matter what, only if we unite as one can we defeat all this."
Just as everyone was having a heated discussion, there was suddenly the sound of slight footsteps outside the cave, followed by an old and hoarse voice: "I'm sorry to bother you, but is there a young man named Chen Sui here?"
Everyone stood up alertly and saw a hunchbacked old man standing at the entrance of the cave, holding a crutch engraved with strange patterns in his hand. His eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.
"I am Chen Sui." Chen Sui stepped forward and looked directly at the old man, "Excuse me, who are you?"
The old man smiled slightly, and that smile contained too many stories: "I am the Watcher of Time, and I have been waiting for your arrival. I know all the clues to the ancient power and how to fight against the Shadow Abyss."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked. Zhou Lili spoke first: "Please tell us, what do we need to do?"
"Before that, I want to tell you an ancient prophecy," the voice of the Time Watcher flowed slowly, like the night wind. "When the five colors of light gather together, the ancient power can awaken. And you are the five colors."
The embodiment of light.”
"Five colors of light?" Li Qianqian repeated curiously, her eyes shining with longing for the future.
"Yes, Chen Sui, your faith is like an eternal fire; Zhao Lei, your justice is like a sharp sword; Zhou Lili, your tenacity is as solid as a rock; Li Wenjing, your wisdom is like a bright star; Lin Feng, you
My courage is like the fury of the wind. Each and every one of you is vital."
As the Time Watcher narrated, everyone had an incredible look on their face, and something seemed to be touched deep in their hearts.
"Now," the Time Watcher changed his subject, "the real test is about to begin. The forces of Shadow Abyss are gathering, are you ready?"
"Ready." The five Chen Sui people said in unison, their voices containing unquestionable determination.
"Very well, remember, unity and trust are your most precious weapons. Next, I will guide you to the first trial place. As for that ancient power and how to avoid the disaster it brings,
The answer lies in the trial."
"The trial place? It sounds exciting and dangerous." Li Qianqian whispered, with curiosity and uneasiness about the unknown flashing in his eyes.
"Don't worry, Qianqian, we will protect you all the way." Lin Feng patted her shoulder gently, giving silent comfort.
The Time Watcher nodded and tapped his cane on the ground. A complex map slowly appeared on the ground. As the light circulated, several key locations were marked. "This map will guide you through dangerous situations and reach the first place."
A place of trial - the misty forest. There, you will face your own inner demons, and only by overcoming them can you grow."
Zhao Lei rubbed the weapon in his hand with a firm look in his eyes: "We will not back down. As long as we can save the world, we will fight through no matter how difficult it is."
"Then it's settled, we'll set off early tomorrow morning." Chen Sui held the key to time and space and had a plan in mind. Everyone sat around the campfire, immersed in their daydreams about the future, occasionally exchanging encouraging glances, and the air was filled with excitement.
There was an indescribable tacit understanding and expectation.
The next day, the morning dawned, and the group of people got ready to go. Outside the cave, several villagers passing by stopped and talked among themselves.
"Look at those young people, they all have great momentum, as if they are going to do something big."
"Yes, especially the young man holding the sword, he is so heroic and heroic. He is definitely not simple."
"If they can solve the problem of Shadow Castle, our village will be peaceful."
The whispers of the villagers were inadvertently caught by Lin Feng. He smiled and said to everyone: "It seems that we have high hopes."
Li Qianqian smiled shyly: "I also hope to do something for my hometown."
As we embarked on the journey, every step seemed extremely heavy, but no one gave up. The entrance to the misty forest was in front of us, the mist was shrouded, and everything we saw was hazy. Zhou Lili took a deep breath and looked firmly: "This is it.
Our first hurdle, let’s work hard together.”
"Well, there's nothing we can't solve." Chen Sui followed closely, holding the key of time and space, and the light penetrated the fog and illuminated the way forward for everyone.
In the misty forest, illusions abound, and everyone's inner demons quietly appear, testing their will and belief. Chen Sui faces endless loneliness and self-doubt, Zhao Lei faces the hardships and sacrifices of the road to justice, and Zhou Lili faces the hardships and sacrifices of the road to justice.
It is the fear of weakness, Li Wenjing is the curse and pursuit of knowledge, and Lin Feng faces whether his courage is enough to bear everyone's hope.
With each other's support and encouragement, they broke through their inner demons one by one, and their strength and soul were sublimated simultaneously. Whenever someone wavered, there would always be the voice of their companions, giving them strength.
"Chen Sui, your faith is our common torch, don't let it go out."
"Zhao Lei, although justice is heavy, we are all sharing it by your side."
"Lily, your tenacity is stronger than a rock. Don't forget the people behind you."
"Wen Jing, your wisdom is our beacon, leading the way in the darkness."
"Lin Feng, your courage has spread like the wind. Keep moving forward!"
After going through trials again and again, when they finally walked out of the misty forest, everyone was no longer the same person. The key to space and time in Chen Sui's hand emitted an even more dazzling light, as if indicating that a new chapter was about to open.
"We did it!" Li Qianqian jumped up excitedly, tears glistening in her eyes, this time they were tears of joy.
"But this is just the beginning. There is still a long way to go to uncover the truth about the ancient power and fight against the Shadow Abyss." Chen Sui reminded everyone, looking towards the distant horizon, where more unknowns are waiting for them.
"Yes, Chen Sui is right, we can't stop here." Zhao Lei put away his sword with a serious expression, "Victory at each level is a preparation for a greater battle."
"I want to know what kind of capabilities the ancient power behind these trials has? Can it enable us to fight against the terrifying Shadow Abyss?" Zhou Lili wiped the sweat from her forehead with a firm gaze.
While everyone was discussing, a traveler wearing a shabby cloak walked out of the forest path. He looked exhausted, but his eyes were filled with curiosity and excitement that could not be concealed. He walked towards a few people and said in a slightly trembling voice:
"Please forgive my presumption, but I just saw you coming out of the misty forest. That is an impossible task! Are you the legendary five-color light?"
