The low, thunderous roar rolled across the distance like a muffled storm, vibrating the ground and saturating the air with an oppressive weight that made breathing difficult. 246Please respect copyright.PENANArQ6QYey4Bs

Arya’s face paled as she gripped her staff, her azure eyes wide with fear. She tugged at Lu Feng’s arm, her voice trembling. “That sound… It’s from the minions of the Abyssal Lord. They’re even fiercer than ogres.” 246Please respect copyright.PENANAMZMxKdxRLP
246Please respect copyright.PENANAnPRyYy395W
A flicker of resolve crossed Lu Feng’s brow. “Don’t be afraid. I’m here,” he said quietly, his steady voice washing over her like warm water, dissolving her panic. “No matter what, I’ll protect you—and everyone else in these lands.” 246Please respect copyright.PENANAi66Sdfxr7n
246Please respect copyright.PENANA2LYICeKZkT
Side by side, they stood at the edge of Moonlight Lake, their gazes fixed on the shadowed forest ahead. 246Please respect copyright.PENANAQlQ1d32XyO
246Please respect copyright.PENANAglTvaWysjz
“We need a detailed battle plan,” Lu Feng urged. 246Please respect copyright.PENANAC0mCB9CeNU
246Please respect copyright.PENANAJrLGL9ZULB
Arya nodded, her voice sharpening with focus. “The terrain here is complex. There are natural traps we can use to lure the enemy in and strike from advantage.” Her tone carried the confidence of familiarity. “I’ve lived in these woods for years. I know every path.” 246Please respect copyright.PENANAtxKV3El6TR
246Please respect copyright.PENANAf0Kfe3Tcn6
Lu Feng raised an eyebrow, impressed. “You’re incredible. Back when I played *Wanling War Chronicles*, I’d always get lost in terrain like this.” 246Please respect copyright.PENANAWA89kmetTW
246Please respect copyright.PENANAPHw8trNwe7
Arya chuckled softly. “That’s because you didn’t have an elven princess as your guide.” 246Please respect copyright.PENANAVnVBD2M110
246Please respect copyright.PENANA2cPWo5v1ll
Banter aside, Lu Feng activated his tactical simulator, its screen flashing with rapid data and scenario projections. He muttered as he analyzed, “These abyssal creatures rely on dark energy—enhanced speed and strength, but their weakness is light magic and sacred energy. We can exploit that.” 246Please respect copyright.PENANAa9H22xSGO2
246Please respect copyright.PENANAVyawPyDjB7
Arya’s eyes lit up. “Light magic is my specialty. If we combine my spells with your tactics, we can create a countermeasure.” Together, they swiftly devised a meticulous strategy. 246Please respect copyright.PENANA7xk2da027Y

As they prepared, Lu Feng noticed the Shadowcat acting unusually alert near the encroaching enemies. Observing closely, he realized it could sense the dark aura radiating from the creatures. 246Please respect copyright.PENANA5XcLDNyqDa
246Please respect copyright.PENANA6jR5tW2MJ2
He knelt and stroked the Shadowcat’s fur. “We’re counting on you to warn us,” he whispered. The feline nodded, its intelligent eyes gleaming as it began patrolling the perimeter like a silent sentinel. 246Please respect copyright.PENANAqooLDlDkTF
246Please respect copyright.PENANARNA8QkxrJN
Night deepened, tension thickening the lakeside air. Lu Feng, Arya, the Shadowcat, and a small band of hastily gathered warriors waited in silence. 246Please respect copyright.PENANAiiRrpXS9LC
246Please respect copyright.PENANAOIKqMxtJMu
The roars grew closer, crashing like tidal waves. 246Please respect copyright.PENANAclkhnrPTS6
246Please respect copyright.PENANA7vWV6qjcWF
“They’re here,” Lu Feng whispered, raising his staff as a faint glow enveloped him. Beside him, Arya’s staff blazed with warm, radiant power. The Shadowcat bristled on his shoulder. 246Please respect copyright.PENANAVlvS5BuDRL
246Please respect copyright.PENANAzZWNWwkcLx
The first wave of abyssal horrors emerged, and the group sprang into action. Using pre-set traps, they funneled the monsters into a killing zone. The ground split open, jagged stone spikes impaling swathes of foes. The Shadowcat’s warnings let them dodge lethal ambushes. 246Please respect copyright.PENANAHXqL4tYdzV
246Please respect copyright.PENANAheA6aclMUJ
The battle raged. Lu Feng commanded with the precision of a conductor, directing warriors into defensive formations to whittle down the enemy. Arya’s light beams seared through the darkness, eliciting agonized shrieks. The Shadowcat darted across the battlefield, exposing hidden threats. 246Please respect copyright.PENANAMQVRLo1XrG
246Please respect copyright.PENANAa3OAFcQ6eH
As victory seemed within reach, a deep tremor shook the earth. Lu Feng and Arya exchanged wary glances. 246Please respect copyright.PENANAAs9gWPH4AT
246Please respect copyright.PENANAaMoGTc5aYn
The Shadowcat yowled, pointing toward the forest’s heart. A thunderous crash echoed as a three-story-tall monstrosity erupted from the trees, shrouded in black mist. Its glowing green eyes burned with malice, and the stench of sulfur choked the air. 246Please respect copyright.PENANA6VE1fHmvO7
246Please respect copyright.PENANAxjXGXu4HGA
“Damn!” Lu Feng hissed. The beast swatted aside obstacles, charging toward him with jaws agape. 246Please respect copyright.PENANAjaTejqrivA
246Please respect copyright.PENANASjz0vxfkZc
Arya leaped in front of him, her staff blazing. “Not today!” she shouted. A solid barrier of moonlight erupted between them. 246Please respect copyright.PENANAuPRcAXcTGu
246Please respect copyright.PENANAuybiKcQxqO
***CRACK!*** 246Please respect copyright.PENANAGH5CD9SHEz
246Please respect copyright.PENANAtNeoLizK9d
The beast slammed into the barrier, denting it inward. The shield groaned, fissures spiderwebbing across its surface. Arya’s face whitened, blood trickling from her lips. “It’s… too strong! I can’t hold it!” 246Please respect copyright.PENANAQCQc30iCq0
246Please respect copyright.PENANAoaxZ3APo4i
Lu Feng steadied her, his gaze locked on the roaring monstrosity. “I know. Be ready—we’ll need to switch tactics.”
