"We did it!" Toby said excitedly, with tears in his eyes.

"Yes, we succeeded!" Ariel responded, his heart filled with pride and pride.

However, Su Ye was not completely relaxed. She knew that although the battle was temporarily over, the threat of Satan still existed. She looked around with a firm gaze: "We must continue to track Satan's trail and not let him escape!"

"Yes, we can't let our guard down!" Matthew nodded, his heart full of fighting spirit.

The four of them packed up their equipment and continued to move in the direction where Satan disappeared.

The smell in the dark forest grew thicker, as if warning them of the danger ahead.

As Su Ye and his party went deeper into the dark forest, the atmosphere around them became more and more oppressive, and thick shadows surged like a tide, as if whispering silently. The branches and leaves of the trees swayed in the breeze, making low groans, as if foreshadowing the impending crisis.

"Something seems to be wrong with this forest." Ariel frowned and looked around vigilantly.

"Yes, I feel like there is a strong evil force lurking." Su Ye nodded, her heart tensed up. Her spiritual power kept flowing in her body, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.

At this moment, the air around them suddenly became cold, and a low roar came from the darkness, as if some terrifying existence was approaching. Matthew's face suddenly became serious: "Everyone be careful!"

Suddenly, the trees around them began to twist, as if being controlled by some force. Then, from the gaps in the trees, several ferocious tree demons jumped out, baring their fangs and claws, and attacked them. Their bodies were like rotten wood, emitting a pungent stench that was disgusting.

"Stop them!" Su Ye shouted, and quickly formed seals with his hands, summoning a light shield to block the tree demon. The shield trembled slightly under the attack of the tree demon, but it was still solid.

"I'll help you!" Toby quickly took out a dagger that flashed with cold light and rushed towards a tree demon. His figure was as fast as lightning, and the knife flashed, instantly cutting off the tree demon's arm. Blood and tree sap mixed together and splashed on the ground.

"Don't let your guard down!" Ariel used his spiritual power from behind to form a ball of fire and threw it at another tree demon. The fire streaked across like a meteor, instantly surrounding the tree demon, which let out bursts of burning screams.

However, the number of tree monsters seemed to be endless, and the more they fought, the more they appeared. Low roars continued to be heard in the darkness around them, as if there were more powerful beings watching them in secret.

"We have to leave here as soon as possible!" Su Ye was anxious, knowing that if she continued like this, she would be in a desperate situation. She looked up into the distance, trying to find a safe way out.

At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly came from the darkness, and a huge black shadow jumped out from the trees. Its huge body was like a moving mountain, approaching them with unparalleled pressure.

"It's...it's the dark beast!" Ariel shouted in horror, his face as pale as paper.

"Quick, back off!" Matthew yelled, quickly grabbing Toby and Ariel beside him and backing away.

The dark beast's eyes were as hot as flames, staring at Su Ye, grinning and opening its huge mouth, revealing its sharp teeth, and pounced on her. Su Ye's heart tightened, and she quickly mobilized her spiritual power, preparing to use her special skills.

"Judgment of Light!" she shouted, raising her hands high. Light condensed at her fingertips and instantly turned into a huge lightsaber, slashing towards the dark beast.

"Bang!" With a loud noise, the lightsaber collided with the beast's body, making a harsh vibration sound, and the powerful force pushed the beast back. However, the beast was not knocked down, but roared angrily and launched a more fierce attack on Su Ye.

"We can't delay any longer!" Matthew gritted his teeth, his heart filled with anxiety. "We must find a way to escape from this forest!"

"I have an idea!" Ariel suddenly said, with a determined light in his eyes. "We can use the special terrain of this forest to set traps and delay their pursuit!"

"Good idea!" Toby nodded, a glimmer of hope in his heart. "We need to distract them."

"Then let's attract their attention!" Su Ye made a quick decision, his eyes determined. "I will cast the light shield to protect you and take the opportunity to lure away the dark beast."

"You must be careful!" Matthew said worriedly.

"No problem, I will protect myself." Su Ye smiled slightly, his heart full of faith.

As Su Ye prepared, Ariel and Toby quickly looked for suitable terrain around them to set a trap. Su Ye used all his spiritual power to form a huge light shield and rushed towards the dark beast.

"Come on, come here!" Su Ye shouted loudly, trying to attract the beast's attention. Her voice echoed in the dark forest, like a horn against darkness.

As expected, the dark beast was attracted by her voice, turned around, and pounced on her with a fierce smile. Su Ye's heart tightened, and she quickly mobilized her spiritual power to prepare for its attack.

At this moment, the trap that Ariel and Toby had quickly set up was finally completed. Several huge tree roots suddenly sprang out from the ground and entangled the dark beast's feet. The beast let out a deafening roar and tried to break free, but to no avail.

"Now!" Matthew yelled, and the three of them quickly retreated in a safe direction. Su Ye retracted the light shield and followed closely behind, feeling relieved.

However, the danger of the Dark Forest was not over. As they retreated, a low roar was heard from the darkness around them, and it seemed that other terrifying creatures were approaching.

"Hurry, we can't stop!" Su Ye said loudly, his heart full of urgency.

Just as they were running desperately, the road ahead was suddenly blocked by a huge thorn bush. The thorn bush was like a sharp blade, emitting a pungent smell that made people shudder.

"What should we do?" Ariel said in panic, fear flashing in his eyes.

"I'll lead the way!" Su Ye did not hesitate, mobilized her spiritual power, raised her hands high, and prepared to use her special skills. Her spiritual power continued to surge in her body, turning into a powerful force, rushing towards the thorns.

"Light Slash!" She shouted, and a powerful light instantly enveloped the thorns, emitting a dazzling brilliance. The thorns instantly turned into ashes under the light, revealing a safe path.

"Hurry, go!" Matthew shouted loudly, leading everyone to pass quickly.

However, just as they passed, a horrible roar came from behind them. The dark beast broke free from the trap and chased after them in a rage.

"Don't stop, keep running!" Toby urged desperately, his heart filled with a sense of crisis.

"I'll stop it!" Su Ye said firmly, turning to face the dark beast without any fear in her heart. She mobilized her spiritual power and prepared to perform her final trick. "Judgment of Light!" Her voice was like thunder, and the light gathered in her hand, turning into a huge lightsaber, slashing towards the dark beast.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the power of the lightsaber repelled the dark beast. However, the beast was not knocked down. Instead, it roared angrily and launched a more fierce attack on Su Ye.

"Hurry up!" Matthew shouted from behind, feeling anxious. Su Ye's figure looked particularly determined in the light, and she knew that she had to buy time for her companions.

At this moment, a low roar came from the depths of the dark forest again, as if some more powerful existence was awakening. Su Ye's heart tightened, realizing that time was running out.

"We must leave here as soon as possible!" she thought to herself, with a flash of determination in her eyes.

"I'll lead it away!" Ariel suddenly said, with a determined light in his eyes. "You guys go quickly, I'll hold it back!"

"No!" Su Ye exclaimed, his heart filled with reluctance.

"Believe me, I can do it!" Ariel smiled slightly, his eyes as firm as iron.

"Okay, be careful!" Su Ye nodded helplessly and prayed secretly in his heart.

Ariel quickly rushed towards the dark beast, exerted her powerful spiritual power, formed a ball of fire, and attacked the beast. The flames streaked across like a meteor, instantly surrounding the beast.

"Let's go!" Matthew pulled Su Ye and Toby and ran towards safety.

Behind them, Ariel fought a desperate battle with the dark beast. The flames and the roar of the beast intertwined together, as if it was the last battle in the dark forest.

Su Ye's heart was filled with reluctance and worry, but she knew that she had to keep moving forward and could not stop.

"The exit is just ahead!" Matthew shouted, with hope gleaming in his eyes.

As they ran, the light in the dark forest gradually became brighter, as if to welcome their arrival. However, Su Ye's heart was still filled with uneasiness, as she knew that the threat of darkness still existed.

"We must find Ariel!" Su Ye said firmly, with an unyielding light flashing in his eyes.

"She'll be fine, we will definitely find her!" Toby comforted, his heart full of faith.

Just as they continued to move forward, a clearing suddenly appeared in front of them. In the center of the clearing stood an ancient altar, emitting a mysterious light that seemed to be calling them.

"What...place is this?" Matthew said in surprise, his eyes fixed on the altar.

"I don't know, but we must go and see!" Su Ye walked towards the altar without hesitation.

As they approached the altar, the light on the altar suddenly lit up, as if responding to their arrival. The air around them instantly became hot, and the light surged towards them like a tide, as if conveying some kind of power.

"This power... is so strong!" Toby exclaimed, his heart filled with shock.

"We may be able to use this power to defeat the existence of darkness!" There was a glimmer of hope in Su Ye's eyes.

At this moment, a low roar came from the depths of the dark forest, as if the dark beast was chasing them. Su Ye's heart tightened, knowing that time was running out.

"Hurry, we must activate the power of the altar before the dark beast arrives!" she shouted, her heart full of determination.

The three of them quickly surrounded the altar, using their spiritual power in their hands, trying to inject their own power into the altar. As the spiritual power continued to gather, the light on the altar became brighter and brighter, as if responding to their call.

"Hurry, keep injecting strength!" Matthew encouraged loudly, his heart full of fighting spirit.

At the moment when they were trying their best, the figure of the dark beast appeared in their sight again. Its huge body was like a moving mountain, approaching them with unparalleled pressure.

"We can't let it get close!" Su Ye's heart tightened, and he mobilized his spiritual power, preparing to use his final trick.

"Judgment of Light!" She shouted, and a powerful light instantly enveloped the dark beast, emitting a dazzling glow. Under the light, the beast let out a deafening roar, trying to break free.

"Hurry, keep going!" Toby shouted loudly, his heart full of firm belief.

As spiritual energy continued to gather, the light on the altar became brighter and brighter, and finally burst out with powerful force in an instant, rushing towards the dark beast.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the light instantly repelled the dark beast. The beast turned into nothing in the light and disappeared into the dark forest.

At the moment when the dark beast was repelled by the light, the light of the altar surged like a tide, and Su Ye, Matthew and Toby felt a strong attraction that drew them into the center of the altar. As a dizzy feeling came over them, their vision was shrouded in darkness, and the light around them disappeared instantly, replaced by suffocating darkness.

"Where... is this?" Toby's voice sounded particularly weak in the darkness. There seemed to be no response around him, only heavy air and faint whispers.

"I don't know, but we must stay calm." Su Ye tried to cheer herself up, and was secretly alert in her heart. She knew that the threat of the dark forest had not completely disappeared, but might be even more dangerous in this unknown space.

Suddenly, a low murmur sounded all around, like some creature moving in the dark. Matthew clenched his fists and observed his surroundings vigilantly, feeling a sense of uneasiness approaching.

"We must find an exit!" Su Ye said firmly. Although her voice sounded weak in the darkness, her determination became stronger.

At this moment, several blurry figures suddenly appeared in the dark corner. As they approached, Su Ye and Toby felt a chill in their hearts. The bodies of those humanoid monsters were twisted, as if they were corroded by darkness, with twisted smiles on their faces and red light flashing in their eyes.

"Quick, retreat!" Matthew shouted, and the three of them retreated quickly, but found that there was darkness behind them and there was no way to retreat.

The monsters rushed towards them like hungry wolves, making low and piercing roars. Su Ye's heart tightened, and she mobilized her spiritual power and prepared to cast a defensive spell. However, her spiritual power seemed to be suppressed in the darkness and could not be released as she wished. (End of this chapter)
