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. 60Please respect copyright.PENANA8ba993MePW

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.” 60Please respect copyright.PENANABboBXsOhSg
60Please respect copyright.PENANAQeswH02GP3
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.” 60Please respect copyright.PENANAdV3Xn7udD6

Side by side, they stood at the edge of Moonlight Lake, their gazes fixed on the shadowed forest ahead. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAkUG9rdkLUX
60Please respect copyright.PENANAJAH3B9DY3i
“We need a detailed battle plan,” Lu Feng urged. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAUFOE1aLnhv
60Please respect copyright.PENANAbNxYxfj9FJ
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.” 60Please respect copyright.PENANAa5YSjWEMm1
60Please respect copyright.PENANA51Du9zgt1F
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.” 60Please respect copyright.PENANA6kzZI48mIa
60Please respect copyright.PENANAdc6S0ezXrX
Arya chuckled softly. “That’s because you didn’t have an elven princess as your guide.” 60Please respect copyright.PENANAwS8n2AuJF7
60Please respect copyright.PENANAHShmxHwfAR
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.” 60Please respect copyright.PENANAkdre1YaeLs
60Please respect copyright.PENANAiE6ExdMIds
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. 60Please respect copyright.PENANA8kLYWImVNi

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. 60Please respect copyright.PENANADtJktHokiM
60Please respect copyright.PENANADVdCe2tV8t
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. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAY50qvKUCmZ
60Please respect copyright.PENANAP2d4n81sno
Night deepened, tension thickening the lakeside air. Lu Feng, Arya, the Shadowcat, and a small band of hastily gathered warriors waited in silence. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAkwjO5X5boD
60Please respect copyright.PENANAE925flTSlx
The roars grew closer, crashing like tidal waves. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAPTkvjd3FQ0
60Please respect copyright.PENANAIaC6KaLhrR
“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. 60Please respect copyright.PENANA85M5cSZn0b
60Please respect copyright.PENANA121BSrA3Lz
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. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAj4z04EU7wA
60Please respect copyright.PENANAB2mGnHvwf7
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. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAPZ2mEqUhLe
60Please respect copyright.PENANAM30em4L2AD
As victory seemed within reach, a deep tremor shook the earth. Lu Feng and Arya exchanged wary glances. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAsaO7EQmay5
60Please respect copyright.PENANAsZXmxRIRWb
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. 60Please respect copyright.PENANArCcbZ2nCHj
60Please respect copyright.PENANAYjoUwXgE2k
“Damn!” Lu Feng hissed. The beast swatted aside obstacles, charging toward him with jaws agape. 60Please respect copyright.PENANASmJjKvM0t3
60Please respect copyright.PENANAe7UuUwQx0x
Arya leaped in front of him, her staff blazing. “Not today!” she shouted. A solid barrier of moonlight erupted between them. 60Please respect copyright.PENANA6g4BQ2fhS0
60Please respect copyright.PENANAi1Ziu70jRy
***CRACK!*** 60Please respect copyright.PENANAtnWwqEdk62
60Please respect copyright.PENANA7L8JkZ8Hdu
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!” 60Please respect copyright.PENANAd1Nqa57qpk
60Please respect copyright.PENANAM813BwVeUm
Lu Feng steadied her, his gaze locked on the roaring monstrosity. “I know. Be ready—we’ll need to switch tactics.”
