The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

The two argued fiercely, neither giving in.

The others were thinking silently on the sidelines, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

As time passed, the mysterious force got closer and closer, and the feeling of oppression became stronger and stronger.

"Perhaps... we have another choice..." Granny Lin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. She looked into the distance, and a barely perceptible light flashed in her eyes. "Legend has it..."

Before Granny Lin could finish her words, she was interrupted by a deafening noise.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that the mysterious power was already within reach...

A huge black shadow completely covered the sky, and a feeling of oppression surged like a tide, as if to crush everyone.

The air became thick and breathing became difficult, as if countless invisible hands were strangling their throats.

The wind was howling, bringing with it a bone-chilling chill, scraping at my face like a knife, causing pain.

The ground began to tremble and emit a low humming sound, as if some giant beast was about to break out of the ground.

Xiaohong's face was pale and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. She felt that she was about to be crushed by this invisible pressure.

The feeling of despair entangled her like a vine, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

Her vision went blurry, her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

At this moment, a warm and strong hand tightly held her cold hand. A strength came from the fingertips, which made her feel a little calmer.

She turned her head and saw the man in white. His firm eyes gave her a glimmer of hope.

"Mother-in-law, you also think that we should..." Elder Chen looked at Mother-in-law Lin, thinking that she would stand on his side. After all, Mother-in-law Lin had always been the most stable and supportive person in the village.

However, Granny Lin shook her head and said slowly: "No, I agree with Xiaoyu. This force is too strong. Fighting head-on will only lead to our annihilation. We must find another way out."

Everyone was stunned and looked at Granny Lin in disbelief.

They never thought that the usually calm Grandma Lin would actually support Luo Xiaoyu's seemingly reckless plan.

The air seemed to freeze and there was complete silence.

At this moment, the man in white suddenly spoke, "Maybe..." He paused, looking into the distance, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "I have an idea..."

The man in white took a deep breath and swept his sharp eyes across the anxious faces of the crowd.

"Although this force is strong, it is not invulnerable. If you look closely, you will see that its energy is not evenly distributed, but concentrated in the core area. If we can find its weak point and concentrate our strength to break through, there may be a glimmer of hope." He pointed to a lighter area at the edge of the shadow, "That's its weak point."

Everyone looked in the direction the man in white pointed, and indeed found that the black shadow there was slightly lighter in color, and seemed to be indeed thinner than other places.

The flame of hope was rekindled in their hearts, and their originally desperate eyes gradually brightened.

Luo Xiaoyu looked at the man in white with gratitude, and the man in white nodded to her slightly with encouragement in his eyes.

Granny Lin looked at everyone with satisfaction, a kind smile on her face.

"There is no time to lose, let's get ready immediately!" Elder Chen said in a firm tone and took the lead.

Everyone responded and began to prepare according to the plan of the man in white.

They gathered all the weapons they could use and prepared to concentrate their firepower on attacking the shadow's weak points.

Xiaohong and Luo Xiaoyu were responsible for carrying the supplies. Although they were afraid, their eyes were full of determination.

Granny Lin was cheering everyone on. Although her voice was weak, it was full of power, as if it could dispel all fear.

Doctor Zhang and Hunter Li were responsible for taking care of the wounded and ensuring that everyone could fight in the best condition.

Luo Xiaoyu moved the last bundle of ropes to the designated location, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at the man in white with gratitude.

"Thank you very much. If it weren't for you, we might have..."

The man in white waved his hand and interrupted Luo Xiaoyu, "Now is not the time to thank you. Success or failure depends on this. Everyone must be careful." His gaze turned to the distance again. The black shadow was getting closer and closer. The huge sense of oppression made the air become heavy.

"Remember, timing is everything..."

Granny Lin looked at the busy figures lovingly. She patted Xiaohong's hand gently and said softly, "Child, don't be afraid. We will be fine..."

"Here they come!" Elder Chen roared, and everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and looked into the distance nervously.

The huge black shadow was already within reach, like a giant beast ready to devour people, emitting a suffocating sense of oppression...

The man in white focused his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Get ready..."

The wind was howling, sand and rocks were flying, and a huge black shadow finally descended, bringing with it a suffocating feeling of oppression.

Everyone held their breath, their hearts beating violently like drums.

At this critical moment, the man in white shouted in a deep voice: "Now, act!"

Li the Hunter roared and rushed out first, the steel fork in his hand dancing like the wind, piercing straight into the lighter area at the edge of the black shadow.

At the same time, the man in white flashed and appeared above the black shadow like a ghost, waving the sword in his hand, and a sharp sword energy slashed down.

The two men cooperated well and attacked like a storm, showing no mercy.

In the rear, Doctor Zhang quickly bandaged the wounds of the injured villagers and distributed pills to replenish their strength.

Xiaohong and Luo Xiaoyu were carrying supplies non-stop to ensure the continuation of the fighting on the front line.

Granny Lin stood on a high place and prayed for everyone. Although her voice was weak, it was full of power, as if it could dispel all fear.

The mysterious force obviously did not expect that everyone's response would be so clever, and the originally unstoppable momentum was actually blocked.

It let out a deafening roar, and the black shadow rolled violently, as if it was in great pain.

Cracks actually appeared on its huge body, spreading like a spider web.

Seeing the enemy fall into a passive position, the morale of the people was boosted and the attack became more fierce.

Li the Hunter's steel fork was like a poisonous snake, constantly stabbing at the black shadow's weak points, and each strike was as powerful as thunder.

The sword energy of the man in white was even more fierce, like bolts of lightning, tearing deep wounds in the black shadow.

Just when everyone thought victory was in sight, something strange happened.

The black shadow suddenly let out a sharp hiss, and the originally slightly lighter area quickly turned black, emitting an even more terrifying aura.

A powerful force burst out from the black shadow, knocking Li the Hunter and the man in white away.

Everyone was shocked and looked at what was happening before their eyes in disbelief.

The black shadow actually mutated during the battle and became even more powerful!

Granny Lin’s face turned pale, and she murmured to herself, “How could this happen…” Xiaohong and Luo Xiaoyu hugged each other tightly, trembling with fear.

Doctor Zhang was also stunned, and the medicine bottle in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

The man in white struggled to stand up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Everyone be careful, it..." Before he finished speaking, the black shadow screamed again, and an even more powerful force swept over...

The man in white turned around suddenly and shouted, "Get out of the way!"

The man in white turned around suddenly and shouted, "Get out of the way!" Almost at the same time, the terrifying force came like a tidal wave.

Everyone felt an irresistible force throwing them backwards, and their bodies hit the walls or tree trunks behind them uncontrollably.

"Ugh!" Li the Hunter groaned, a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. He struggled to get up, but found that his legs were sore and weak.

Granny Lin, Xiaohong and Luo Xiaoyu were not in much better condition. They all looked pale and stared at the surging black shadow in horror.

The aura emitted by the black shadow became stronger, and the surrounding air seemed to be distorted, making bursts of teeth-grinding "sizzling" sounds.

The originally dim cave was now almost pitch dark, with only the black shadow emitting a heart-pounding dark red light.

Xiaohong hid tightly behind the man in white, her body trembling slightly.

She could feel the powerful aura emanating from the man in white, which made her feel a little relieved, but it could not completely dispel the fear in her heart.

The black shadow's attack came like a violent storm, and the invisible force, accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking through the air, smashed into everyone fiercely.

Doctor Zhang was unable to dodge and was hit in the chest by a strong force. He flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground, spurting blood from his mouth.

Luo Xiaoyu screamed and tried to help him, but was hit on the shoulder by another force and let out a painful groan.

Li the Hunter barely stood up and waved the steel fork to fight back, but found that his attack had no effect on the black shadow. The steel fork seemed to be stabbed on cotton and slid away powerlessly, while the black shadow's counterattack became more and more fierce.

Xiaohong saw everyone falling down one by one, and her heart was filled with despair.

Tears welled up in her eyes and she bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from crying out loud.

The man in white was also somewhat overwhelmed.

Although he is very powerful, he seems to be a little overwhelmed by this sudden change.

He kept waving the sword in his hand, with sword energy running wild, barely resisting the attack of the black shadow, but scars gradually appeared on his body.

"Are we all going to die here?" Granny Lin murmured weakly.

Just when everyone thought they were doomed, a deep voice came from the cave entrance: "It seems that I came at the right time..."

Despair surged into everyone's heart like a tide.

Hunter Li collapsed to the ground, the steel fork falling limply beside him. He stared at the surging black shadow, his eyes full of powerlessness and fear.

Granny Lin hugged Xiaohong and Luo Xiaoyu tightly and prayed softly, praying for a miracle to happen, but even she felt that the prayer was so powerless.

Doctor Zhang struggled to get up, but found that the severe pain in his chest made him unable to move. He closed his eyes in despair, waiting for death to come.

Xiaohong clutched the corner of the white-clothed man's clothes tightly, tears silently falling down her cheeks. She didn't dare to look up at the terrifying black shadow, she only hoped that she could stay with the white-clothed man forever at this moment.

The man in white had more and more sword wounds on his body, and his breathing became rapid, but he still stood firmly in front of everyone, using his last bit of strength to resist the attack of the black shadow.

At this moment, Elder Chen, who had been silent all the time, suddenly exclaimed: "Wait! I think I found something!" Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Elder Chen pointing at the center of the black shadow, where a faint golden light was visible.

"What...what is that?" Luo Xiaoyu asked weakly.

Elder Chen narrowed his eyes and observed carefully for a moment, with a hint of excitement in his tone: "If I'm not mistaken, that's its weakness! All its strength comes from there. As long as we can attack there, we can completely defeat it!"

The atmosphere of despair was broken in an instant, and the flame of hope was rekindled in everyone's hearts.

Elder Chen's discovery was like a bright light that illuminated the way forward in the darkness, giving them hope of survival.

"What should we do?" asked the man in white, with a hint of urgency in his tone.

Elder Chen quickly analyzed the current situation and pointed to a huge rock above the cave entrance and said, "See that rock? If we can knock it down, we can hit its weak spot!"

A bold and risky plan took shape in everyone's mind.

Hunter Li endured the pain, picked up the steel fork, and used all his strength to pry the rock.

Doctor Zhang directed Xiaohong and Luo Xiaoyu to fix the rock with ropes to prevent it from falling prematurely.

The man in white is responsible for attracting the black shadow's attention and buying time for everyone.

Everything is proceeding in a tense and orderly manner.

"Ready!" Li the Hunter shouted and pulled out the steel fork.

The huge rock fell down with a loud bang, hitting the center of the black shadow!
Golden light burst out instantly, and the black shadow let out a shrill scream, shrinking rapidly like a punctured balloon, and finally disappeared without a trace.

Peace returned to the cave, everyone cheered, and the joy of surviving the disaster was on everyone's face.

Xiaohong hugged the man in white excitedly...

Xiaohong excitedly threw herself into the arms of the man in white and hugged him tightly, her tears soaking his collar.

She looked up.

Luo Xiaoyu looked at them with a sincere smile on her face and wished them well.

The joy of surviving the disaster and the warmth of friendship made this dark cave bright.

After everyone took a short break, Elder Chen led everyone to sort out the clues.

All the seemingly unrelated events before are now connected into a clear thread under the illumination of the final secret.

Elder Chen pointed at the ancient murals on the cave wall and said slowly: "All of this stems from an ancient prophecy..."

As Elder Chen spoke, a shocking secret gradually surfaced.

It turns out that this world hides a huge crisis, and everything they experience is closely related to this crisis.

This secret involves the fate of the entire world. Everyone is shocked by this secret and is speechless.

"This...how is this possible..." Doctor Zhang muttered to himself, unable to believe what he heard.

Hunter Li also stood there in a daze, and the steel fork in his hand fell to the ground with a dull sound.

Granny Lin held Xiaohong and Luo Xiaoyu's hands tightly.

The man in white remained silent, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

Elder Chen sighed and continued, "The prophecy says that we can only find..." He suddenly stopped and his eyes fell on an inconspicuous corner deep in the cave.

"What is that?" Xiaohong followed his gaze and asked curiously.

Everyone also turned their eyes to that corner.

I saw a strangely shaped stone there, emitting a faint glow.

The man in white walked forward and touched the stone with his hand.

Suddenly, the stone shone brightly, illuminating the entire cave.

"Not good!" The man in white's face changed and he shouted hurriedly, "Quickly retreat!"

However, it was too late...

A warm current surged into the body, and everyone felt full of strength.

Li the Hunter felt that the muscles in his arms became stronger, and his legs and feet, which had been a little sore, became extremely light; Doctor Zhang was pleasantly surprised to find that the injury on his chest had healed, and not only that, his mind was also clearer than before; Xiaohong and Luo Xiaoyu were even more pleasantly surprised to find that they seemed to be able to feel the flow of the air around them, as if they had become one with nature.

The man in white slowly withdrew his hand. The energy contained in the stone was far beyond his imagination. This was not only a simple energy boost, but also a spiritual cleansing.

Everyone was ecstatic and tried to use this new power, feeling the tremendous changes in their bodies and minds.

Cheers and exclamations rang out one after another, the cave was filled with an atmosphere of joy, and even the air seemed to become light and cheerful.

Elder Chen

Just as everyone was immersed in joy, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in the sky.

The light was like a huge star, hanging above the cave, emitting heart-pounding energy fluctuations.

Wherever the light reached, the originally dim sky was illuminated as bright as day, and everything on the ground was clearly visible.

The crowd that was originally cheering suddenly became quiet, the smiles on their faces disappeared, and were replaced by a look of vigilance.

They felt the powerful force contained in that light, a power far beyond their understanding.

There seemed to be a new crisis hidden in that light, and a feeling of uneasiness spread in everyone's hearts.

"This...what is this?" Luo Xiaoyu looked at the light in the sky, her voice trembling slightly.

"I don't know," the man in white looked deeply at the light, "but this is definitely not a good sign."

Everyone looked at each other. After surviving this disaster, everyone cherished each other more, but at the same time they also understood more clearly that this world was full of unknowns.

"We have to go and take a look!" Li the hunter broke the silence and tightly gripped the steel fork in his hand.

"That's right. We can't just leave it alone." Doctor Zhang said firmly.

Everyone nodded and decided to explore the secret behind the light together.

Elder Chen looked at everyone's determined eyes and his heart was filled with hope.

Everyone looked up at the strange light in the sky. The end of the light seemed to be connected to another unknown world.

The dazzling light was like a giant pillar connecting heaven and earth. Everyone looked up at this strange sight, with vigilance and curiosity intertwined in their eyes.

The clouds around the light began to roll violently, like boiling water. Lightning flashed from time to time in the surging sea of ​​clouds, dyeing the originally milky white clouds into a strange purple-red color, foreshadowing a dangerous atmosphere. (End of this chapter)
