Despite facing such a powerful opponent, the four of them did not feel the slightest fear in their hearts. "We are willing to accept all challenges and hope to become friends rather than enemies." The little demon girl smiled, her words were gentle but revealed her unquestionable strength.
Then, a fierce battle began under the watchful eyes of the crowd. The whole scene was extremely exciting and intense, and every time someone showed off their special skills, the crowd cheered. In particular, when Jack flexibly used various moves to successfully dodge a fatal attack, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
"Oh my God, they are so strong!" exclaimed a young girl in the crowd.
"Yeah, they are just like the heroes in the legend." A little boy next to him echoed, "Especially the little brother with the bow and arrow, he is so handsome!"
After a hard fight, both sides were exhausted. Seeing this, the warrior who led the four people into the holy land smiled and took the initiative to extend his right hand, "Okay, you are indeed trustworthy. Now please tell me, what secret are you looking for? Maybe we can help."
"Thank you for your understanding and support." Jack shook the other's hand and said gratefully, "Actually, we want to find out relevant information about an ancient prophecy. According to certain clues, the key to uncovering the truth may be hidden here."
Hearing this, the people around him all showed thoughtful expressions. "Ancient prophecy... This is indeed a sensitive topic." A wise old man said, "But given the courage and sincerity you have shown, I think we may be able to point you in the right direction."
Just when everyone thought that a peaceful exchange would follow, a sharp whistle rang out throughout the training ground - that was a warning signal!
"Oh no! Enemy attack!" The leading soldier immediately became alert, his expression becoming extremely serious, "Everyone, prepare your defense and get ready to fight!"
The atmosphere suddenly changed, and the four of them couldn't help but tense up. "Why would something like this happen at this time?" The little demon girl frowned and said, "Is it coming for us?"
Just as the four of them were nervously preparing to deal with the upcoming attack, suddenly, a faint light began to emanate from an ancient stone tablet in the center of the training ground. The light gradually condensed into a small ball shape, slowly floated into the air, and finally settled at a height of about half a meter from the ground.
"This is..." The little witch looked at the floating ball in surprise; her eyes were deeply attracted.
"Dragon Ball!" The wise old man's voice was filled with shock that could not be concealed. "The legendary magic dragon ball actually appeared here!"
The crowd around them suddenly became excited, with discussions rising one after another. Some people showed excitement, while others looked worried.
“It is said that whoever possesses it will gain unimaginable power.” said a man in heavy armor, his eyes flashing with desire.
“But we can’t let it fall into the wrong hands,” another person countered.
"Yes, once such power is abused, the consequences will be disastrous." An older warrior said in a deep voice.
Jack realized the seriousness of the situation. "We must protect the Dragon Ball and not let anyone take it away." He said firmly.
"But now we can't even take care of ourselves." Ye frowned and said, "The enemies outside may be approaching."
"Don't worry," Leonard tried to calm everyone down, "Since we already know that the Dragon Ball is here, we will definitely find a way."
However, at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the entrance, and several dark shadows quickly rushed into the training ground. They held sharp blades and had fierce eyes, and were obviously coming with great momentum.
"Hand over the Dragon Ball, or don't blame us for being rude!" the leading man in black shouted coldly.
"Impossible!" Ye stepped forward, the weapon in his hand shining brightly.
The other party obviously didn't have the patience to wait for an answer. Several men in black immediately rushed up and the scene fell into chaos in an instant.
The battle began, and the four quickly engaged the intruders. Jack deftly dodged the enemy's attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack. Ye and Leonard fought side by side to fight the enemy together. The little demon girl used her magic skills to support her teammates, releasing a powerful shield to block some of the attacks.
"Hold on, guys!" Jack shouted. "We've got to get rid of these people!"
However, the enemy was huge in number, and new reinforcements kept coming in. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the wise old man suddenly said, "Quick, take the dragon ball and leave here!"
"Are you sure?" Jack looked at the old man doubtfully.
"Time is running out, you must trust me." The old man's eyes were firm, "I will try my best to delay time, but please be sure to protect the Dragon Ball, it is our only chance."
"Okay, let's go!" Jack gave the order decisively, and the four of them quickly moved towards the exit, holding the shining magic dragon ball tightly in their hands.
"Stop them quickly!" The leading man in black roared angrily, but it was too late. The four men had already disappeared on the other side of the training ground.
"We have to get out of here quickly." The little witch panted.
"Yes, follow the guardian's instructions." Jack said firmly.
The four of them traveled through the night, and the sound of footsteps chasing them could be heard faintly behind them. They knew that the journey would be full of dangers, but as long as they united, they would be able to overcome all difficulties.
The four of them quickly passed through the narrow alley. In the darkness, only the sound of footsteps and rapid breathing could be heard. Jack looked back from time to time to make sure that he was not being followed by the pursuers. Ye held the weapon tightly in his hand, ready to respond to any emergency at any time. Leonard and the little demon girl looked around vigilantly, guarding against any possible ambush.
"We need to find a place to rest and catch our breath," the little demon girl suggested, "It's not a good idea to keep running like this."
"She's right." Ye nodded in agreement, "We need to make a plan and not act blindly."
They stopped in front of an old abandoned warehouse. Although the place looked dark and damp, it could at least temporarily hide from the pursuers. After entering the warehouse, Jack carefully placed the Dragon Ball on a flat ground. Everyone sat together and began to discuss the next move.
"Our biggest problem now is how to protect this dragon ball." Leonard frowned and said, "If it is taken away by those men in black, the consequences will be disastrous."
"I agree." Ye agreed, "But we can't hide in a place like this forever. We will be found sooner or later."
At this moment, the door of the warehouse was suddenly pushed open, and everyone immediately became alert. A thin young man walked in and looked around nervously.
"You are..." the young man asked stutteringly.
"Don't worry, we are friends." Jack gestured for him to relax, "We are just hiding here temporarily."
"Oh, that's what happened." The young man breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm a resident here. I heard some noise outside just now, so I came to see what happened."
"Thank you, young man." Jack smiled. "We are in some trouble. We would be grateful if you could help us."
"What can I do?" The young man seemed a little hesitant. "We need a safer place to hide for a while." Jack continued, "Can you help us find a place?"
The young man thought about it, then nodded. "I know a place, come with me. However, there are some guards there, we have to be careful."
"No problem." Jack said firmly, "As long as we can avoid those pursuers, we will have a chance to find a solution."
So the young man led the four people out of the warehouse and walked along a hidden path. They carefully avoided pedestrians on the street and did not encounter any other people's obstruction along the way.
Finally, the young man stopped outside the gate of a small courtyard. "This is it." He whispered, "This is the home of one of my relatives. Usually, almost no one comes here."
"Thank you so much," Jack said sincerely, "We'll be out of here as soon as possible."
They entered the courtyard and found that the house was silent. The young man found an empty room and let them stay there temporarily.
"I'll go find you something to eat." The young man turned and was about to leave.
"Wait, what's your name?" Jack asked.
"My name is Robert," the young man replied.
"Okay, Robert, thank you for your help." Jack nodded, "When this is all over, we will definitely repay you."
"You're welcome," Robert nodded, and hurried off.
The four of them sat in the room and could finally relax a little. However, they knew that the real crisis was not over yet. Jack picked up the dragon ball and looked at it carefully, his heart full of doubts and uneasiness.
"What's going on with this dragon ball?" the little demon girl asked, "Does it really have that much power?"
"According to the old man, its power is unimaginable," Jack replied, "but we must be careful not to let anyone take it away from us."
"But our enemies seem to know exactly what we are looking for." Ye frowned, "How do they know?"
"I've been thinking about this question as well." Leonard said in a deep voice, "We have to find out all the conspiracies behind this."
At this moment, there was a faint sound of footsteps at the door. Everyone immediately became alert and clenched their weapons. The door was gently pushed open, and a short figure appeared at the door.
"It's me, Robert," the young man whispered, holding some food and water.
Everyone relaxed a little, took the food and started eating. Robert sat aside, looking a little worried.
"There seem to be more guards outside," he said softly, "you have to be careful."
"We'll be careful," Jack said firmly. "Thanks for the warning."
"What are you looking for that has attracted so many people to hunt you down?" Robert asked curiously.
"This is the key to an ancient prophecy," Jack replied simply, "We must find the truth."
Robert nodded, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. "Then you must be on a very important mission," he said. "I hope you succeed."
"We'll try our best." Jack smiled, "Hopefully everything goes well."
As the night deepened, the atmosphere in the warehouse became more tense. After the four finished their meal, they discussed their next action plan again. However, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door. Jack immediately signaled everyone to keep quiet. He walked carefully to the door and gently opened a gap to peek out. In the night, several men in black hurried past, holding weapons, obviously looking for them.
"They're coming." Jack whispered, "We have to get out of here as soon as possible."
"Wait," the little demon girl stopped him, "We don't know how many people are still searching outside. It's too dangerous to go out rashly now."
"What should we do?" Leonard said anxiously, "We can't stay here forever."
Robert stood up suddenly. "I know there is a secret passage that leads directly out of the city. Maybe we can give it a try."
Jack nodded: "Lead the way, this is the best way now."
The five of them quickly packed up their belongings, and Robert led them through several corners in the courtyard, and finally came to a small attic. Lifting an old wooden board in the corner, a long and narrow tunnel entrance was revealed. A cold atmosphere emanated from the cave entrance, and it seemed that no one had been here for a long time.
"Are you sure this secret passage is safe?" Ye looked at the dark tunnel in front of him with some doubt.
"Believe me, I have tried this road many times." Robert replied, "and except for a few people who know this passage, most people don't know that there is such a road here."
Seeing everyone nod in agreement, Robert took the lead, lighting the way ahead with a torch, and the other four followed him carefully. Although this secret route was narrow, it was still smooth, but the air became more and more stuffy as they walked, making people feel like they were about to suffocate. There were drops of water falling along the way, and the sound was particularly clear in the empty space, which made people's heart beat faster.
Finally, a faint light came from the front - the exit was not far away! Just when everyone thought they were about to get out of trouble, a chaotic sound of footsteps came from the front of the tunnel, followed by unclear voices...
"Stop!" Robert tapped Jack's arm. "It sounds like there's someone ahead..."
Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing, held their breath and listened. Indeed, they could faintly hear the sound of two people talking.
"The boss said that we must find those people and their dragon balls this time!" said one voice. "Yes, as long as we get that thing, our status will be completely different." Another voice responded, obviously in a good mood.
After hearing this, Jack looked at his companions with a firm and determined look in his eyes. "No matter what happens, we must not give up the Dragon Balls. Remember, this is our only hope to fight back."
"That's right!" The little demon girl clenched her fists and responded, "No matter what, we have to persevere to the end!" (End of this chapter)
