Jiang Qiong, Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue finally breathed a sigh of relief after escaping from the encirclement of the black shadows. The tension and fear in their hearts were gradually replaced by joy.

The three of them smiled at each other, as if they were comrades who had experienced the test of life and death, and their tacit understanding and trust between each other became even deeper.

"Let's divide the spiritual fruit quickly!" Lang Nana said excitedly. The sparkling spiritual fruit in her hand looked even brighter under the sunlight.

The fragrance of the spiritual fruit filled the air, as if calling them.

"Okay!" Nan Fengxue nodded, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. They knew that this spiritual fruit was their only reward in this expedition, and it would increase their spiritual energy and strength, making their future journey smoother.

Jiang Qiong walked forward and gently cut the spiritual fruit into three pieces, each of which emitted a dazzling light.

They carefully placed the spiritual fruit in their palms, as if they were holding a priceless treasure.

"Come, eat!" Jiang Qiong smiled and raised the spiritual fruit in his hand. The three of them smiled at each other.

With a slight sound, the three of them put the spiritual fruit into their mouths almost at the same time. The sweet taste instantly spread in their mouths, as if awakening the dormant power in their bodies.

"Such a strong spiritual energy!" Lang Nana exclaimed, feeling the spiritual energy in her body surging like a tide, as if every cell was cheering.

She seemed to be surrounded by a transparent light curtain, and the fluctuation of spiritual energy made her heart beat faster.

"I feel it too!" Nan Fengxue's voice was filled with excitement. Her spiritual energy burned in her body like a flame, warm and intense.

All three of them felt an unprecedented power at this moment.

However, just as they were immersed in the joy of power, the ground suddenly made a loud noise, as if it was torn apart by something.

Jiang Qiong's heart sank suddenly. Before she could react, the ground beneath her feet collapsed instantly, and the three of them were sucked into a huge crack.

"Ah!" Lang Nana's scream echoed in the air. As her body fell, the surrounding scene changed rapidly, with darkness and fear intertwined.

"Catch me!" Jiang Qiong instinctively stretched out his hand and tried to pull them, but the depth of the crack was beyond his imagination and swallowed them up in an instant.

Nan Fengxue was beside him, panic flashing in her eyes, but she did not give up struggling.

With a violent feeling of falling, Jiang Qiong's heart was filled with helplessness and panic.

They fell in the darkness, the space around them seemed endless, only the sound of the wind and the heartbeat in their ears seemed particularly clear at this moment.

"We'll be fine!" Jiang Qiong tried to make his voice sound firm, even though he didn't know what would happen next.

They must stay calm to find a way to escape.

At this moment, a faint light seemed to appear at the bottom of the crack, and Jiang Qiong felt excited.

Their spiritual energy did not dissipate during their descent, but instead became stronger in the darkness, as if guiding their direction.

"Over there!" Nan Fengxue pointed at the light, with hope flashing in his eyes.

Jiang Qiong and Lang Nana looked at each other, and with a tacit understanding, they immediately struggled hard towards the direction of the light.

As they worked hard, the space around them seemed to shrink and the light became clearer.

Jiang Qiong secretly rejoiced in his heart that the power of the spiritual fruit was particularly important at this moment. It enhanced their spiritual energy and allowed them to fight hard even in this desperate situation.

Finally, their figures hit a hard rock, making a crisp sound, and were bounced away instantly.

Jiang Qiong felt a sharp pain, but he did not give up. He quickly got up and ran towards the light.

"Hurry! We can't stop!" he shouted, his heart filled with uneasiness and anxiety.

They don't know what lies ahead, but in this desperate situation, they must maintain hope.

As they approached, the light gradually expanded, revealing a strange space surrounded by flickering spiritual energy, as bright as the starry sky.

Jiang Qiong's heart trembled, and the scene before him shocked him.

"Where is this?" Lang Nana murmured to herself, with surprise and awe in her eyes.

"I don't know, but we must be careful!" Jiang Qiong said vigilantly, feeling vaguely in his heart that there might be greater secrets and dangers hidden here.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed in the light ahead, blurry and mysterious, as if it had walked out of a dream.

Jiang Qiong's heart tightened, he knew that this might be the beginning of a new challenge for them.

Jiang Qiong, Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue held their breath, their eyes fixed on the figure that flashed in the light.

As the light gradually became brighter, a tall figure gradually became clear. He was wearing a flowing white robe. His face was blurry, but he exuded an otherworldly temperament.

The man smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with wisdom and gentleness, as if he could see through their hearts.

"Welcome, brave explorers." The man's voice was deep and magnetic, as if it came from a distant time and space. "I am the owner of this secret realm, my name is Yun Ni. I have been waiting for the destined person to come here to accept the test."

"Test?" There was a hint of doubt in Jiang Qiong's voice, and he was secretly alert in his heart.

They had just experienced the pursuit of a dark shadow and had not yet recovered from the fear. Now they were facing an unknown test. It seemed that fate was always pushing them into deeper darkness.

"Yes." Yun Ni nodded slightly and waved her hand lightly. The space around her changed instantly. The light surged like a tide and turned into a huge door. The door frame was inlaid with glittering spirit stones, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

"Passing through this door, you will enter the trial space I created. Those who succeed will gain great blessings, while those who fail may remain in this secret place forever."

Lang Nana's heart tightened and they looked at each other in confusion. Although they had obtained the power of the spiritual fruit, they were still filled with anxiety when facing the unknown test.

"What should we do?" she asked in a low voice, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

"We must trust each other." Nan Fengxue nodded firmly, with courage flashing in her eyes. "No matter what the test ahead is, we must face it together."

Jiang Qiong secretly encouraged himself in his heart. Although he also felt fear, he knew that only by facing it bravely could he find a way out.

"We are willing to accept the test!" he said loudly, and his voice echoed in the empty space, as if responding to the determination in his heart.

"Very good." Yun Ni smiled slightly and waved her hand. The door slowly opened, revealing a dazzling light, as if calling them into an unknown world.

"Please come in, brave explorers, the test is about to begin." The three of them looked at each other, and with a tacit understanding in their hearts, they stepped into the light without hesitation.

In an instant, their bodies were enveloped by a powerful force, and the scene around them changed rapidly, as if they were instantly pulled into another world.

When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a vast secret land, surrounded by towering mountains covered with lush vegetation, and the air was filled with fresh spiritual energy.

In the distance, a sparkling river meanders by, and the river water is like a blue gem, sparkling with charming brilliance.

"It's so beautiful here." Lang Nana couldn't help but admire, with a gleam of surprise in her eyes.

"But we can't take it lightly." Jiang Qiong reminded, feeling in his heart that this secret place was not simple.

Just as they were admiring the beautiful scenery, suddenly, the surrounding scene began to change. The outlines of the mountains blurred, and the waves of the river gradually disappeared. Instead, a dark forest appeared, with twisted trees and intertwined branches and leaves, as if telling endless secrets.

"What... is this?" There was uneasiness in Nan Fengxue's voice. The shadows around her seemed to be approaching quietly, making her feel a chill.

"This is the beginning of the test." Yun Ni's voice echoed in the air, as if it came from all directions. "In this forest, there will be three tests waiting for you. Only by passing the tests can you find the way back."

"What is the test?" Jiang Qiong asked, her heart full of confusion and nervousness.

"The first test is courage." Yun Ni's voice was as clear and powerful as the morning bell and evening drum. "You need to face the deepest fear in your heart. Only by overcoming the inner demon can you move forward."

As the words fell, a low roar suddenly came from the depths of the forest, as if some terrible creature was approaching.

The three of them were shocked and held each other's hands tightly, feeling the fear from their hearts.

"Don't be afraid, we are together!" Jiang Qiong encouraged, secretly making up her mind. They must face it bravely to find a way out.

As the roar gradually approached, Jiang Qiong took a deep breath and silently said "courage" in his heart. He knew that only by facing fear could he surpass himself.

Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue also nodded, and the trust between them became even stronger at this moment.

"Let's go!" Jiang Qiong said loudly, and the three of them ran towards the direction of the roar, with a flame of courage burning in their hearts.

As they moved forward, the shadows of the forest seemed to twist, as if awaiting their arrival.

Jiang Qiong, Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue clung to each other, the courage burning in their hearts as hot as flames.

"I'll go first." Jiang Qiong suddenly stopped and turned to look at his two companions with a firm look in his eyes. "I want to face my fear first. After I come out, it will be your turn."

"Okay." Lang Nana nodded. Although she felt a little uneasy, she knew that Jiang Qiong had to take this step first.

"Remember, no matter what happens, we are here waiting for you." Nan Fengxue's voice was gentle but firm, giving Jiang Qiong a little strength.

Jiang Qiong took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the direction where the roar came from.

As he got closer, the surrounding scene began to blur, as if shrouded by a layer of mist.

Just as he was about to step into the darkness, a low and familiar voice suddenly came to his ears.

"Are you afraid? Are you terrified? Are you scared?" The voice seemed to come from the bottom of the heart, carrying with it immense sarcasm and disdain.

"Who are you?" Jiang Qiong's heart tightened as he realized that this was the embodiment of the fear deep in his heart, the self that once left a shadow in his heart.

"I am your deepest fear, the past that you don't want to face." The shadow slowly emerged, looking exactly like Jiang Qiong, but with a gloomy smile, "You will never be able to surpass me."

"I won't be afraid of you anymore!" Jiang Qiong responded loudly, the courage burning in her heart like a raging fire, "I am no longer the person I used to be!"

As he shouted, the darkness around him began to distort and the shadows became less clear.

Jiang Qiong closed his eyes and recalled the moments he spent with Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue. Those warm moments filled his heart with strength.

He opened his eyes, looked directly at the shadow, and said firmly: "I will face my past bravely and accept everything about it!"

As his words fell, the shadow collapsed instantly, turning into countless fragments and dissipating into the air.

Jiang Qiong felt relieved, and the surrounding scene gradually became clearer. He successfully overcame his inner demons and returned to the edge of the forest.

"I did it!" he shouted excitedly to his two partners with a confident smile on his face.

"That's great!" Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue cheered and looked at each other. Their admiration and trust for Jiang Qiong became stronger.

"Now it's your turn." Jiang Qiong turned around and encouraged.

Lang Nana took a deep breath, walked forward, and silently said "courage" in her heart. She knew that the next test would be a challenge to her heart.

As she walked, the surrounding forest began to change, instantly transforming into a dark and gloomy space, as if she was in an endless abyss.

"Welcome to your test, Lang Nana." The deep voice sounded again, seemingly coming from all directions. "Here, you will face your deepest fear."

"I won't be afraid!" Lang Nana responded firmly, with a flash of memory in her mind.

She recalled the moments when she was lonely and helpless in the darkness, and the feeling of powerlessness surged over her like a tide.

"How can you really not be afraid?" The voice sounded again, with great provocation, "You are just a fragile girl who will never be able to overcome your fear."

"I'm not a fragile girl. I have friends and courage!" Lang Nana's voice echoed in the air. Recalling the experiences she had with Jiang Qiong and Nan Fengxue, she felt an endless amount of courage in her heart. "I will defeat you!"

As her words fell, the darkness around her began to vibrate violently, as if responding to her determination.

Lang Nana closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and silently thanked her friends for their support and trust.

She felt a warm power surging from the bottom of her heart, as if an invisible light surrounded her.

"I won't run away!" Lang Nana shouted loudly, and the darkness around her began to collapse as she shouted, and the shadows dissipated. Her inner demons were defeated and she returned to the edge of the forest.

"It's just an illusion, nothing to be afraid of!" She laughed excitedly, as if she had left all her fears behind.

"That's great, Nana!" Jiang Qiong and Nan Fengxue cheered at the same time, looking at each other, their hearts filled with pride.

"Now I am the only one left." Nan Fengxue smiled slightly and walked forward, silently chanting "courage" in her heart. She knew that the next test would be a challenge to her heart. (End of this chapter)
