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. 234Please respect copyright.PENANANVuw3O86MG

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.” 234Please respect copyright.PENANAzMGaYEavsO
234Please respect copyright.PENANAQNUo03jqHG
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.” 234Please respect copyright.PENANAimmLGPW0zi

Side by side, they stood at the edge of Moonlight Lake, their gazes fixed on the shadowed forest ahead. 234Please respect copyright.PENANApSNAu67Z9b
234Please respect copyright.PENANAsxsBgjZw8A
“We need a detailed battle plan,” Lu Feng urged. 234Please respect copyright.PENANArsM6HCkAmT
234Please respect copyright.PENANAfFcNN1UMmz
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.” 234Please respect copyright.PENANA4g5K1PzeIp
234Please respect copyright.PENANAzvXTWICJuH
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.” 234Please respect copyright.PENANAJR7FIln7Mo
234Please respect copyright.PENANAdzab6xFHoC
Arya chuckled softly. “That’s because you didn’t have an elven princess as your guide.” 234Please respect copyright.PENANAKzJGiCgq5Z
234Please respect copyright.PENANAE9OrWkPaYY
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.” 234Please respect copyright.PENANAHCa2amHILv
234Please respect copyright.PENANAI0lm4wBTsT
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. 234Please respect copyright.PENANATP3Eyen7bH
234Please respect copyright.PENANAU1ca9ZUGft
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. 234Please respect copyright.PENANAQIiNnh0rGl
234Please respect copyright.PENANA2G8hAzXhtC
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. 234Please respect copyright.PENANAzfTNSrAA0Q
234Please respect copyright.PENANA5Gn23m08Pz
Night deepened, tension thickening the lakeside air. Lu Feng, Arya, the Shadowcat, and a small band of hastily gathered warriors waited in silence. 234Please respect copyright.PENANARqe3gF1tUy
234Please respect copyright.PENANAoTeIlyV3Q4
The roars grew closer, crashing like tidal waves. 234Please respect copyright.PENANAlhzT0NubEN
234Please respect copyright.PENANA9IkV5QN4BX
“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. 234Please respect copyright.PENANAM0b6jhgABs
234Please respect copyright.PENANANivQletdeJ
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. 234Please respect copyright.PENANA0TQYopmlRC
234Please respect copyright.PENANAE8NEJTzWcd
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. 234Please respect copyright.PENANA2BkKCIgagg
234Please respect copyright.PENANAPxl9iU0RtZ
As victory seemed within reach, a deep tremor shook the earth. Lu Feng and Arya exchanged wary glances. 234Please respect copyright.PENANAtm2SKUs4ht
234Please respect copyright.PENANAAP1kKYbuKj
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. 234Please respect copyright.PENANA1wizXPsfQv
234Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1LkjutjVZ
“Damn!” Lu Feng hissed. The beast swatted aside obstacles, charging toward him with jaws agape. 234Please respect copyright.PENANAr7elsMgokV
234Please respect copyright.PENANA68ciqSo5Qr
Arya leaped in front of him, her staff blazing. “Not today!” she shouted. A solid barrier of moonlight erupted between them. 234Please respect copyright.PENANA2z5XLvKVhQ
234Please respect copyright.PENANAT0pGUo2odq
***CRACK!*** 234Please respect copyright.PENANATxsGmNUFC4
234Please respect copyright.PENANAVum1NAoVOH
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!” 234Please respect copyright.PENANAFMkGahZCFp
234Please respect copyright.PENANAIu0GrZbFhF
Lu Feng steadied her, his gaze locked on the roaring monstrosity. “I know. Be ready—we’ll need to switch tactics.”
