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. 213Please respect copyright.PENANAjVpeJhqR4h
213Please respect copyright.PENANAjiD6T3HZUP
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.” 213Please respect copyright.PENANAR214U5Rakx
213Please respect copyright.PENANALWwG3dNZsg
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.” 213Please respect copyright.PENANAndOoT0Q3zj
213Please respect copyright.PENANAfs8gori7Xt
Side by side, they stood at the edge of Moonlight Lake, their gazes fixed on the shadowed forest ahead. 213Please respect copyright.PENANAmNDxIV8tqA
213Please respect copyright.PENANA4hkLa6ULtF
“We need a detailed battle plan,” Lu Feng urged. 213Please respect copyright.PENANAXQuVbAgqNB
213Please respect copyright.PENANA9ci3hIsrAK
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.” 213Please respect copyright.PENANArxCYZhEZJB
213Please respect copyright.PENANAURCNoMXh0Y
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.” 213Please respect copyright.PENANAe4TnloLwt3
213Please respect copyright.PENANAbcaxdTqcOc
Arya chuckled softly. “That’s because you didn’t have an elven princess as your guide.” 213Please respect copyright.PENANAYGNzirdAXT
213Please respect copyright.PENANAS5uRaOx4kx
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.” 213Please respect copyright.PENANAyWasb2Y0YJ
213Please respect copyright.PENANAgD8b9914b3
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. 213Please respect copyright.PENANA2xuAoY82WH

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. 213Please respect copyright.PENANAheLhKA0D2z
213Please respect copyright.PENANAr4voWIeVQY
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. 213Please respect copyright.PENANASoxdDpQpOW
213Please respect copyright.PENANANoukehPtt3
Night deepened, tension thickening the lakeside air. Lu Feng, Arya, the Shadowcat, and a small band of hastily gathered warriors waited in silence. 213Please respect copyright.PENANAhHPsnUExgv
213Please respect copyright.PENANAJFaMrdz8HC
The roars grew closer, crashing like tidal waves. 213Please respect copyright.PENANAIzP6CBGBQE
213Please respect copyright.PENANAS07sQhAKqV
“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. 213Please respect copyright.PENANAqGuWZhgxn5
213Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6M17gCRGv
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. 213Please respect copyright.PENANAjWCzhEtBbP
213Please respect copyright.PENANAscSSWVjKYO
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. 213Please respect copyright.PENANA5clCScvWTj
213Please respect copyright.PENANAQnmVRJMUJq
As victory seemed within reach, a deep tremor shook the earth. Lu Feng and Arya exchanged wary glances. 213Please respect copyright.PENANAWMxE8H7mH9
213Please respect copyright.PENANAnlPRQfHCJD
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. 213Please respect copyright.PENANAm3kIKkU4iW
213Please respect copyright.PENANAfuz8XmihX9
“Damn!” Lu Feng hissed. The beast swatted aside obstacles, charging toward him with jaws agape. 213Please respect copyright.PENANAHcMsyO95vc
213Please respect copyright.PENANAWMe7H0XaHm
Arya leaped in front of him, her staff blazing. “Not today!” she shouted. A solid barrier of moonlight erupted between them. 213Please respect copyright.PENANArbYlmGNoCp
213Please respect copyright.PENANAiy7xdrLCKy
***CRACK!*** 213Please respect copyright.PENANAoIkYdgrL5x
213Please respect copyright.PENANAtBYkw0akZz
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!” 213Please respect copyright.PENANANXUtE2jBJB
213Please respect copyright.PENANANoRGqd9Vgg
Lu Feng steadied her, his gaze locked on the roaring monstrosity. “I know. Be ready—we’ll need to switch tactics.”
