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

The two of them joined hands and ran towards the exit.

Just as they were about to reach the exit, the space completely collapsed.

Everyone's eyes went dark and they lost consciousness...

After an unknown amount of time, Xiaohong slowly opened her eyes.

She found herself lying in an unfamiliar place.

"Man in white..." she called softly.

"I'm here." The man in white appeared beside her.

The two looked at each other,

"We are still alive..." Xiaohong murmured.

"Yes, we are still alive." said the man in white.

They hugged each other and cried, their hearts filled with hope for the future.

However, what they didn't know was that even greater challenges were waiting for them...

"What on earth is this place?"

The joy of surviving the disaster was spreading in everyone's heart.

Luo Xiaoyu waved her arms excitedly, Granny Lin held Doctor Zhang's hand tightly, Hunter Li and Blacksmith Zhao patted each other on the shoulders, and even Elder Chen, who was always calm, showed a gratified smile.

Xiaohong and the man in white held hands, each reflecting the other's image in their eyes. After the disaster, the bond between the two became even deeper.

However, this joy did not last long.

In the distance, an eerie aura was approaching quietly, like a ferocious beast lurking in the dark, making people shudder.

Everyone's smiles gradually disappeared, replaced by vigilance and uneasiness.

The sky, which was sunny just now, was now covered with dark clouds and the light suddenly dimmed, as if foreshadowing the impending danger.

"Everyone be careful!" Elder Chen shouted in a low voice, and everyone quickly went into defensive mode.

Luo Xiaoyu drew out the dagger, Granny Lin and Doctor Zhang hid behind Hunter Li and Blacksmith Zhao, and Xiaohong and the man in white stood back to back, looking around vigilantly.

Everyone's eyes were full of vigilance, as if an enemy would jump out of the darkness at the next moment.

Suddenly, a deafening roar broke the sky.

A huge monster appeared in front of everyone. It was as big as a mountain, blocking out the sky and the sun, and exuding a suffocating and terrifying aura.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden sight and looked at the giant beast in front of them in amazement.

It has scales as hard as steel, shining with a dark luster; its sharp claws are cold and intimidating, as if they can tear everything apart.

The monster roared and suddenly attacked everyone.

A powerful force swept over and everyone dodged everywhere, the scene was in chaos.

Elder Chen tried to find the monster's weakness but had no clue, which exacerbated everyone's panic.

"Its power is too strong, we are no match for it!" Luo Xiaoyu shouted in horror.

Xiaohong held the white-clothed man's hand tightly, feeling the warmth of his palm, and tried to keep herself calm.

Elder Chen frowned, staring closely at the monster's every move, thinking hard about a countermeasure.

"Could it be... that we have to go through another life and death test?" Xiaohong murmured to herself, her eyes full of despair.

The man in white hugged Xiaohong's shoulders tightly and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

At this moment, the monster roared again and pounced towards everyone...

The man in white pushed Xiaohong away and faced the monster himself...

The monster waved its huge claws, rocks collapsed, trees fell, and the earth shook violently.

The strong wind carried dust and fallen leaves, covering the sky and making it almost impossible to breathe.

The crowd was forced to retreat again and again by this powerful force, and they were in danger.

Li the Hunter was unable to dodge and was hit by the monster's tail. He fell heavily to the ground with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

Upon seeing this, Blacksmith Zhao roared, waving the hammer in his hand and rushed towards the monster, but was slapped away by the monster's claw, and hit heavily against a big tree, falling into a coma.

Granny Lin screamed, rushed to Doctor Zhang, and anxiously checked his injuries.

Doctor Zhang's arm was scratched by the monster's claws, and blood kept gushing out, staining his sleeves red.

Granny Lin tried to help him stop the bleeding with trembling hands, but she found that her hands were also shaking.

Xiaohong looked at the chaotic scene in front of her, her heart filled with despair.

Hunter Li and Blacksmith Zhao fell to the ground, Doctor Zhang was seriously injured, Granny Lin was in a panic, and Elder Chen had a frown on his face, seeming to be helpless.

Even Luo Xiaoyu, who had always been full of confidence, turned pale at this moment. Xiaohong felt a chill rising from the bottom of her heart, as if she had fallen into an icy abyss and could not see a glimmer of hope.

At this moment, Luo Xiaoyu, who had been standing silently behind everyone, suddenly uttered a clear chant.

Her slender fingers drew strange tracks in the air, and a dazzling light burst out from her, illuminating the dim sky.

Everyone was surprised to find that there was a powerful magical force surrounding Luo Xiaoyu. This force was like an invisible barrier that blocked the monster's attacks.

"Is this... magic?" Elder Chen exclaimed.

Although Luo Xiaoyu's magical power could not completely defeat the monster, it temporarily resisted its attack and bought everyone a precious breathing space.

Everyone recovered from their initial shock and their eyes gradually became determined.

"Xiaoyu, we are here to help you!" Li the Hunter struggled to stand up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Elder Chen also recovered from his shock. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, everyone. We will work together and we will definitely defeat it!"

Everyone nodded, with flames of hope burning in their eyes.

They knew that this was a life-and-death battle, and only by uniting as one could they defeat the powerful enemy before them.

Xiaohong looked at the determined eyes of the crowd and hope was rekindled in her heart.

She held the white-clothed man's hand tightly, feeling the warmth of his palm, as if she had found the strength to support herself.

"Are you ready?" Elder Chen asked in a deep voice.

Everyone responded in unison: "Ready!"

Elder Chen glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Okay, let's get started!"

At Elder Chen's command, everyone worked together and launched a fierce attack.

Luo Xiaoyu's magic light turned into a sharp blade, piercing the monster's eyes; Li the hunter drew his bow and shot an arrow, aiming at the monster's throat; Zhao the blacksmith swung his hammer and hit the monster's leg hard; Doctor Zhang endured the pain and sprinkled special medicine powder into the monster's nostrils; even Grandma Lin picked up a stone and smashed it hard at the monster.

All attacks were concentrated on the monster's head and upper body. For a moment, the monster's roar, the sound of metal colliding, and the buzzing sound of magic intertwined together, deafening.

The monster screamed in pain, its huge body swayed a few times and it almost fell down.

It shook its head frantically, trying to escape the attacks of the crowd, but to no avail.

The strong smell of blood filled the air, stimulating everyone's senses.

Seeing the monster injured, everyone's morale was boosted and the attack became more fierce.

Luo Xiaoyu's magic light became brighter and brighter, Li the Hunter's arrows fell like raindrops, Zhao the blacksmith's hammer made a dull sound every time it fell, and Zhang Langzhong's powder made the monster's breathing rapid and even started coughing.

Finally, under the joint attack of everyone, the monster fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The earth shook a few times and then returned to calm.

Everyone cheered and hugged each other to celebrate this hard-earned victory.

Xiaohong excitedly threw herself into the arms of the man in white. He gently stroked her hair and whispered, "It's okay, everything is over." Doctor Zhang was busy bandaging the wounds of the injured Li the Hunter and Zhao the Blacksmith, while Granny Lin helped. Everyone high-fived each other, their faces filled with joy of surviving a disaster.

When the dust settled, everyone discovered that a deep cave appeared where the monster fell.

A strange light emanated from the entrance of the cave, flickering like breathing, as if hiding a huge secret.

A mysterious aura emanates from the depths of the cave, making people curious yet vaguely uneasy.

"This... what is this place?" Luo Xiaoyu asked curiously.

Everyone looked at each other, no one could answer this question.

Elder Chen slowly walked to the cave entrance and stared into the depths of the cave, with complex light flashing in his eyes.

“Perhaps…” Elder Chen paused, took a deep breath, and said slowly, “This is the place we have been looking for.”

Xiaohong and the man in white looked at each other, and they both saw the same confusion and expectation in each other's eyes.

"Let's go in and take a look?" Xiaohong asked softly.

The man in white held Xiaohong's hand tightly and nodded firmly. Everyone approached the cave cautiously...

Everyone approached the cave cautiously. The dark entrance was like the mouth of a giant beast, as if it wanted to swallow everything.

The entrance of the cave emanated a faint light that was unpredictable, flickering like breathing.

Curiosity and vigilance were intertwined in everyone's eyes. They held their breath, fearing that they would disturb the unknown existence in the cave.

A strange fragrance wafts from the depths of the cave, sweet and intoxicating, making one dizzy.

This fragrance is different from any other floral scent. Instead, it has a hint of weirdness that makes people feel uneasy, as if it is hiding a fatal temptation.

But this strange fragrance also aroused their curiosity even more. They were eager to explore the secrets of the cave and uncover the truth behind this mystery.

Xiaohong held the white-clothed man's hand tightly, her palms slightly sweating.

The man in white held her hand and gave her silent encouragement.

Luo Xiaoyu was excited and eager to rush into the cave, but was stopped by Grandma Lin.

"Be careful, child." Granny Lin advised kindly.

Doctor Zhang calmly observed the environment around the cave, trying to find some clues.

Elder Chen stared into the depths of the cave, his eyes flashing with wisdom, as if he had seen through the secrets of the cave.

In the end, everyone stepped into the cave with determination.

As soon as they entered the cave, everyone was stunned by the scene before them.

The cave is not completely dark, but is flashing with colorful lights, as enchanting as a dream.

What is even more surprising is that some strange phantoms appeared in the cave. These phantoms were not monsters or demons, but the images that everyone desired most.

A charming and attractive Xiaohong appeared in front of the man in white. She was wearing a light gauze, her eyes were blurred, and her every move was full of temptation.

This phantom is not Xiaohong herself, but she is more charming and seductive than Xiaohong.

The man in white couldn't help but feel a little shaken. He tried to restrain himself and remind himself that it was just an illusion, but the phantom kept approaching him, tempting him with sweet words and charming gestures.

The others also fell into illusions. Luo Xiaoyu saw herself becoming a great heroine, Granny Lin saw herself surrounded by children and grandchildren, and Doctor Zhang saw himself becoming a famous doctor...

"This is an illusion! Everyone be careful!" Elder Chen's voice echoed in the cave, but illusions also appeared before his eyes, and his voice seemed a little weak.

The phantoms continued to tempt everyone, their minds began to blur, their eyes became dazed, as if they were intoxicated in a beautiful dream.

The atmosphere in the cave became ambiguous and dangerous, with the smell of lust filling the air.

The man in white looked at "Xiaohong" in front of him and struggled internally.

He knew it was an illusion, but he couldn't resist the temptation.

His hand involuntarily reached out to "Xiao Hong"...

"Yu..." A soft voice sounded in his ears.

The aroma grew stronger, sickeningly sweet.

Inside the cave, colorful lights flickered, shining on everyone's dazed faces, adding a bit of weirdness.

In the eyes of the man in white, "Xiaohong" took off her shirt, revealing her shoulders, and approached him step by step.

The man in white was breathing rapidly, his eyes were blurry, and he was almost falling into this gentle land.

Luo Xiaoyu held a sword in her hand and fought with powerful enemies in the illusion, shouting heroic slogans, but accidentally pointed the sword at Granny Lin beside her.

Granny Lin widened her eyes in horror, and her originally kind face was now filled with fear.

"Yu'er, what...what are you going to do?" she asked tremblingly.

Luo Xiaoyu

Doctor Zhang was enjoying everyone's praise in the illusion, immersed in the halo of a famous doctor, and was completely unaware of what was happening around him.

Elder Chen's fantasy world was a sea of ​​books. He was immersed in the ocean of knowledge and couldn't extricate himself.

Blacksmith Zhao swung his hammer and smashed it into the air again and again, as if he was forging a peerless divine weapon.

Xiaohong felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife as she watched the man in white being deceived by the illusion.

She wanted to shout, to stop it, but no sound came out.

Tears rolled down her cheeks and dripped onto the cold ground.

She closed her eyes in despair, her heart filled with pain and helplessness.

Just then, a rough voice broke the silence in the cave.

"Oh my god, what the hell are these!" Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Li the Hunter rubbing his eyes, standing there in confusion.

The phantom on his body had disappeared and his eyes had regained clarity.

Everyone looked at him in surprise, not understanding what was going on.

Li the Hunter scratched his head and smiled innocently, "I seemed to have a dream. I dreamed that my wife gave birth to a big fat boy for me." He walked to Zhao the Blacksmith and patted him on the shoulder, "Blacksmith, what are you doing? Forging iron into the air?" Zhao the Blacksmith was stunned for a moment, and his eyes gradually regained clarity, "I... I don't know either."

Li the Hunter walked to Luo Xiaoyu again and said, "Yu'er, who are you going to kill?" The sword in Luo Xiaoyu's hand stopped in mid-air, and her eyes gradually regained clarity. She looked at the sword in her hand with a confused look on her face.

Li the Hunter seemed to have some strange power. Wherever he went, the phantoms there would disappear.

He walked to Xiaohong and patted her shoulder gently, "Xiaohong, don't be afraid, I'm here." Xiaohong opened her eyes and saw Li Liehu's clear eyes, and a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart.

Li the Hunter walked up to the man in white, "Brother in white, wake up!" He shouted, and the man in white suddenly woke up, and the "Xiaohong" in front of him disappeared instantly.

He looked at Xiaohong in front of him, his heart filled with guilt.

"This...what's going on?" Doctor Zhang also woke up from the illusion and asked in confusion.

Li Hunter shook his head. "I don't know either, but I know that none of this is true."

Elder Chen looked at Li the Hunter,

"A test?" Everyone was puzzled.

Suddenly, a low roar came from deep in the cave...

Li the Hunter's simplicity and strange power dispelled the illusions in front of everyone's eyes.

The sweet aroma lingering in the air gradually dissipated, replaced by the fishy smell of soil and the cold breath of rock deep in the cave.

Everyone looked at each other, still in shock.

At this moment, they discovered that the originally illusory scene did not completely disappear, but turned into star-like fluorescent lights, floating in the air, emitting a soft light.

"What... are these?" Doctor Zhang reached out to touch them, and felt a tingling sensation at his fingertips. A warm current flowed into his body along his fingertips, making him feel refreshed, as if all his fatigue had been swept away.

Elder Chen observed the light spots thoughtfully, "These should be the remnants of the energy of the illusion, perhaps we can absorb them." He was the first to stretch out his hand towards the light spots, and the light spots surrounded his palms like fireflies, and then slowly merged into his body.

Elder Chen closed his eyes and carefully felt the flow of this energy. After a moment, he opened his eyes with a gleam in his eyes. "It is true. This energy can enhance our strength!"

Seeing this, everyone followed suit and stretched their hands towards the light.

Xiaohong felt a cool energy flowing through her body. Her nerves, which were originally tense due to fear, relaxed and an unprecedented sense of power surged in her body.

After the man in white absorbed the energy, he felt his senses become sharper, and all the movements in the cave were clearly transmitted to his ears.

Luo Xiaoyu felt that she had become more agile, as if she could easily dodge any attack.

"We succeeded!" Luo Xiaoyu waved his fist excitedly, with joy flashing in his eyes.

Everyone encouraged each other, with excited smiles on their faces.

Xiaohong snuggled in the arms of the man in white, feeling his warmth and strength.

The man in white hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, I will always protect you."

Granny Lin caressed Luo Xiaoyu's head lovingly, "Yu'er, you are so brave." Luo Xiaoyu held Granny Lin's hand tightly.
Having overcome the huge obstacle of the illusion, everyone was full of confidence and continued to explore deeper into the cave.

After walking for a long time, they came to a huge stone door.

The stone gate is engraved with strange runes, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

"What is this?" Blacksmith Zhao curiously reached out to touch the runes on the stone door. The cold touch made him shiver.

Elder Chen carefully observed these runes, frowning, "These runes... I have never seen them before."

"These runes seem to hide some secrets..." the man in white said in a deep voice.

"Could it be..." Xiaohong hesitated to speak, her eyes fixed on the runes on the stone door.

"Should we open it?" Luo Xiaoyu asked.

Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere became solemn... (End of this chapter)
