As the night deepened, the light of the fire gradually dimmed, and the three people fell asleep one after another.
A vague picture gradually emerged in Jiang Qiong's mind. He was in a dark forest. It was terribly quiet around him, with only the breeze gently blowing through the treetops, making a rustling sound.
"Where is this?" Jiang Qiong was puzzled and looked around, but he only saw endless darkness spreading in front of him.
Suddenly, a shadow flashed in the corner of his eyes, making his heart tighten.
Jiang Qiong tried to step back, but found herself unable to move, as if restrained by something.
At this moment, a huge black snake slowly crawled out from the darkness. The snake's body flashed a strange luster in the moonlight, like a long black whip.
A wave of fear surged in Jiang Qiong's heart and her body began to tremble involuntarily.
"Go!" he shouted in his heart, but no sound came out.
The snake's eyes were like two deep holes, staring at him, as if it could see through his soul.
It slowly approached, its tongue flicking gently in the air, carrying a chilly breath.
"Don't come over here!" Jiang Qiong struggled desperately, her heart filled with despair.
However, the body was still weak, as if it was firmly bound by an invisible force.
Just as the giant snake opened its mouth to devour him, Jiang Qiong felt a piercing chill, as if the whole world was collapsing in an instant.
"Ah!" Jiang Qiong screamed in horror and suddenly woke up from her dream, with cold sweat oozing from her forehead and her heart beating like thunder.
He looked around and found that he was still in the cave. The embers of the fire were emitting a faint light, and his companions around him were quietly immersed in dreams.
"What a terrible dream..." Jiang Qiong's mind was still echoing with the fear just now. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
He stood up gently and walked to the cave entrance, wanting to get some fresh air. He looked up at the night sky. The moonlight was still bright, falling on the earth, as if comforting his frightened heart.
Jiang Qiong returned to the fire and sat down again, his heart gradually calming down. Looking at the peaceful faces of his companions, he couldn't help but smile, his heart filled with warmth and strength.
No matter how many fears there are in the dream, they still have each other's company in reality. This is his greatest courage and hope.
The night was still dark, the residual heat from the fire gradually dissipated, Jiang Qiong fell into a deep sleep in thought, praying silently in her heart that they would have a better tomorrow in this unknown sea.
The first ray of sunlight in the morning shines through the clouds in the mountains and shines on the earth, bringing a touch of life to the silent forest.
However, the peaceful time did not last long, and dark clouds began to gather in the sky, as if brewing a sudden storm.
"Boom--" A low thunder sounded in the distance, as if it was a warning from the sky.
Jiang Qiong woke up from her dream and smelled a damp smell in the air.
He quickly got up and walked to the cave entrance, and found that the sky outside was already gloomy and covered with dark clouds that seemed like they would pour down at any time.
"Get up quickly! It's going to rain!" He called softly to his companions, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
Last night's dream still lingered in his mind, as if foreshadowing that something unusual was about to happen.
The companions woke up one after another, rubbing their sleepy eyes. After hearing Jiang Qiong's words, they stood up, walked to the cave entrance, and looked at the gloomy sky outside.
At this moment, there was a loud noise in the sky, followed by a downpour. The rain was like an overturned bucket, instantly flooding the entire mountain.
"It's raining so hard!" Lang Nana shouted, looking towards the cave entrance.
However, Jiang Qiong suddenly had an idea: "We can't just hide here. There may be spiritual fruits outside, we can't miss them! We have to find some to eat and fill our stomachs."
"Spiritual fruit?" Lang Nana looked at him puzzledly. The rain had begun to wet her clothes, and the humidity in the air was growing heavier.
"Yes! Spiritual fruits can enhance our spiritual energy." There was a firm light flashing in Jiang Qiong's eyes.
"Okay, let's go find the spiritual fruit!" Lang Nana was finally infected by Jiang Qiong's determination, and the other companions also nodded.
So the three of them quickly packed their equipment, braved the pouring rain, walked out of the cave in the wind and rain, and embarked on a journey to find spiritual fruits.
The rain was like countless arrows, hitting their faces and bringing bursts of biting chill, but the flame of hope was burning in their hearts.
On the mountain path, the muddy ground made their steps slow and difficult.
Jiang Qiong lowered his head and observed the surrounding environment, trying to find traces of the spiritual fruit. The rain washed the leaves, making a crisp sound, as if accompanying their adventure.
"Spiritual fruits usually grow in places with plenty of sunlight, perhaps near the top of a mountain." Jiang Qiong remembered the legend he had heard before, and his heart became more determined in his direction.
They climbed in the rain, the mountain road was slippery, and they almost fell several times, but everyone's heart was full of courage, and they supported each other and moved forward.
Finally, they stopped in an open area. The surrounding trees were washed greener by the rain, and the air was filled with a fresh scent.
At this moment, Jiang Qiong's eyes were attracted by a bright red color, and he quickly ran towards that area.
"There!" He pointed ahead excitedly, and several people followed closely behind him, their hearts full of anticipation.
When they got closer, they found a huge spiritual fruit hanging on the branch. Rainwater was sliding down the surface of the fruit, sparkling with a dazzling luster.
The aroma of fruit filled the air, as if calling them.
"Quick, pick it!" Lang Nana said excitedly, and Jiang Qiong reached out to pick it without hesitation. The moment he touched the spiritual fruit, the air around him seemed to tremble, and the spiritual fruit emitted a dazzling brilliance, as if responding to their arrival.
However, something strange happened.
Suddenly, several shadows appeared around the spiritual fruit. Several ferocious black shadows jumped out from the bushes, revealing sharp claws, and rushed towards them.
"Run!" Jiang Qiong shouted, her heart tightening.
They understood that the appearance of the spiritual fruit attracted the guardian.
The three of them retreated quickly, their hearts filled with tension and fear. The black shadow moved in the rain like a ghost, and Jiang Qiong felt uneasy.
While running, Jiang Qiong suddenly stopped and made a decision. He turned to face the black shadows with a firm look in his eyes: "We can't let them stop us!"
"Are you crazy?" Lang Nana exclaimed and tried to hold Jiang Qiong back, but he had already taken a firm step.
"We have to fight for the spiritual fruit!" Jiang Qiong said loudly, his voice echoing in the rain.
"I'll lead them away, you guys go pick the fruit!" Jiang Qiong's voice was full of courage. Although he was a little nervous, he had made up his mind.
Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue looked at each other, but were finally infected by Jiang Qiong's courage and rushed towards the direction of the spiritual fruit.
Jiang Qiong faced the black shadow, praying silently in his heart, hoping that they could successfully obtain the spiritual fruit.
Jiang Qiong took a deep breath, and an irrepressible courage ignited in her heart.
He knew that he had to be a shield for his companions so that they would have a chance to pick the spiritual fruit.
The roar of the black shadow echoed in his ears like thunder, as if mocking his fearlessness, but he did not back down. "Come on!" Jiang Qiong shouted loudly, his voice penetrating the rain curtain and causing ripples.
His eyes were fixed on a dark shadow in front of him, a ferocious creature covered in wet black hair, its eyes flashing a cold light, as if assessing his threat.
"Go quickly! I will hold them back!" He shouted to Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue, silently praying in his heart that they could pick the spiritual fruits successfully.
Although the two companions were uneasy, they felt Jiang Qiong's determination in his firm eyes, so they no longer hesitated and ran towards the spiritual fruit.
Jiang Qiong turned quickly and rushed towards the shadow. The rain hit his face and blurred his vision, but he didn't care.
The shadows seemed to sense his provocation and turned around, revealing their sharp claws and pounced on him.
"Woo——" With a low roar, the black shadows approached him quickly like cheetahs.
Jiang Qiong's heart tightened and the mud under his feet almost made him fall, but he quickly steadied himself, turned to the side and dodged the first wave of attacks.
"This is not the ending I want!" he thought to himself, quickly looking for terrain that could be used.
The rain continued to wash the ground and the surrounding trees swayed in the wind and rain. Jiang Qiong had an idea and ran towards a dense bush.

"Want to catch me? Not that easy!" He ran and threw a branch hard, trying to attract the attention of the shadows.
Sure enough, the black shadows were attracted by the branch he threw and turned around to pounce in the direction of the branch.
"Hurry, hurry! I must succeed!" he muttered to himself and continued running deeper into the bushes.
The dark shadows were chasing him relentlessly, and Jiang Qiong felt his heart pounding like thunder, but he knew that he had to hold on.
Just as he was walking through a bush, his foot suddenly slipped and he fell to the ground, splashing mud and water everywhere.
He was startled, and without time to think, he immediately turned over and got up, and continued to run forward. The shadows followed closely behind him, as if they were unwilling to give up for a moment.
"I can't be caught!" Jiang Qiong secretly encouraged himself and quickly looked for a place to hide.
There was a steep rock ahead. Jiang Qiong rushed towards it without hesitation, trying to use the cover of the rock to escape the pursuit.
He stopped behind a rock and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.
The rain was still pouring down, hitting the rocks, making a crisp sound, as if cheering him on.
Dark shadows were lingering around the rocks, seemingly searching for him.
"I hope they can succeed!" Jiang Qiong thought to himself, his eyes determined. He quietly hid behind the rock, waiting for the shadows to move.
A few seconds later, he heard a clear cheer, which seemed to be the voices of Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue.
"Success!" He felt delighted, knowing that they had finally picked the spiritual fruit.
Jiang Qiong felt extremely excited and decided to take the opportunity to lure away the black shadow and evacuate safely with his companions.
He quietly adjusted his breathing and prepared to rush out again to attract the shadow's attention.
At this moment, the dark shadows seemed to sense his presence and rushed towards the rock.
"Come on!" Jiang Qiong roared, jumped off the rock and ran towards the woods in the distance.
The dark shadows were attracted by him and quickly chased after him. Jiang Qiong prayed silently in his heart, hoping that his companions could escape safely.
He ran in the rain, and the mud under his feet almost made him fall several times, but he gritted his teeth and rushed forward.
The dark shadows were roaring behind him, as if chasing prey. Jiang Qiong's heart was filled with tension and fear, but he knew that he could not stop.
Finally, Jiang Qiong rushed out of the woods and came to an open area. At this time, the rain had gradually weakened, and a glimmer of light began to appear in the distant sky.
He turned around and saw the dark shadows still chasing him, and he felt nervous.
"Hurry up! I'm here!" Jiang Qiong shouted, trying to divert Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue's attention.
At this moment, the dark shadows seemed to sense his threat and began to rush towards him at an accelerated speed.
"Hurry up and leave!" Jiang Qiong was anxious. Seeing the black shadows getting closer and closer, she could almost feel the cold aura emanating from them.
At this moment, Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue finally rushed out of the woods, holding the glowing spiritual fruit tightly in their hands.
When they saw Jiang Qiong surrounded by dark shadows, they immediately understood the situation and their hearts tightened.
"Jiang Qiong! Come here quickly!" Lang Nana shouted, her heart full of worry.
"Don't worry about me, let's go!" Jiang Qiong waved her hands vigorously, praying secretly in her heart that they could leave safely.
"We can't abandon you!" Nan Fengxue said firmly, holding the spiritual fruit tightly in his hand, with determination flashing in his eyes.
"I will lead them away, you guys go quickly!" There was fearlessness in Jiang Qiong's voice. Although he was nervous, he was ready to sacrifice himself.
At this moment, the black shadows finally pounced over. Jiang Qiong went forward without hesitation and tried to block them with her body.
Just when he was about to be caught by the black shadow, Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue also rushed up.
"We can't be separated!" they said in unison, their hearts filled with firm conviction.
Jiang Qiong felt a warmth and her heart was filled with strength.
They stood side by side, as if forming an invisible barrier to block the attack of the black shadow.
"Let's resist them together!" Jiang Qiong's voice was firm and powerful. The three of them held the spiritual fruits in their hands, and the flame of hope ignited in their hearts.
As they spoke, the three of them burst out with astonishing momentum, shocking the black shadows that were besieging them.
"Let's go!" Jiang Qiong shouted, pulling Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue and running down the mountain.
The dark shadows were chasing behind, but their speed gradually slowed down, as if they were blocked by an invisible force.
Finally, they successfully broke out of the encirclement of the dark shadows, and the rain gradually stopped.
"We escaped!" Lang Nana shouted excitedly. The three of them hugged each other tightly, their hearts filled with incomparable joy and emotion.
"Yes, we escaped together!" Nan Fengxue said with a smile.
Jiang Qiong looked at her two companions, her heart filled with gratitude and warmth, and she couldn't help but smile.
This was truly a thrilling journey. (End of this chapter)
