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. 117Please respect copyright.PENANAkD6CHYkKr9

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.” 117Please respect copyright.PENANAnyMEtMgUEF
117Please respect copyright.PENANAMC9RSgpTIH
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.” 117Please respect copyright.PENANAN3FpXjJs2p
117Please respect copyright.PENANACRZnvXUrXq
Side by side, they stood at the edge of Moonlight Lake, their gazes fixed on the shadowed forest ahead. 117Please respect copyright.PENANAeUwoTWIX1b
117Please respect copyright.PENANAdZ9sgIDY3x
“We need a detailed battle plan,” Lu Feng urged. 117Please respect copyright.PENANALeOoPYQeIl
117Please respect copyright.PENANAGZhvYTBEOq
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.” 117Please respect copyright.PENANAn4WrCVXHbJ
117Please respect copyright.PENANAbc4dSuw0kU
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.” 117Please respect copyright.PENANAkHokZBQ81H
117Please respect copyright.PENANAbXChrPqndi
Arya chuckled softly. “That’s because you didn’t have an elven princess as your guide.” 117Please respect copyright.PENANAQBL6xHnXqT
117Please respect copyright.PENANAa5E9Z19qPm
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.” 117Please respect copyright.PENANAo1OGxS9RYD
117Please respect copyright.PENANANd3DmkqRVE
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. 117Please respect copyright.PENANAHyYabYkjCE
117Please respect copyright.PENANAMUJUGs4b8T
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. 117Please respect copyright.PENANA0L91fgwa0C
117Please respect copyright.PENANAuYiryny2qF
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. 117Please respect copyright.PENANArvo89UHDj5
117Please respect copyright.PENANAbmkRkrEMfS
Night deepened, tension thickening the lakeside air. Lu Feng, Arya, the Shadowcat, and a small band of hastily gathered warriors waited in silence. 117Please respect copyright.PENANA5dZyEmzwMB
117Please respect copyright.PENANALPYp7jhNl7
The roars grew closer, crashing like tidal waves. 117Please respect copyright.PENANAgzk69Scxlh
117Please respect copyright.PENANAk82T1Wzj9Q
“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. 117Please respect copyright.PENANAHtIDOKu62X
117Please respect copyright.PENANA5VPzdHqmAv
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. 117Please respect copyright.PENANAjLgqSfBH68
117Please respect copyright.PENANAv9Uwp58acG
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. 117Please respect copyright.PENANA2rEw7wg8MR
117Please respect copyright.PENANAsM216LrzzC
As victory seemed within reach, a deep tremor shook the earth. Lu Feng and Arya exchanged wary glances. 117Please respect copyright.PENANArR0sxLKZ14
117Please respect copyright.PENANACq9AoK12ce
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. 117Please respect copyright.PENANASY20ZyAvFZ
117Please respect copyright.PENANA1bg3mn9ynN
“Damn!” Lu Feng hissed. The beast swatted aside obstacles, charging toward him with jaws agape. 117Please respect copyright.PENANAKpNVETGRK8
117Please respect copyright.PENANARhfv1ZUsDh
Arya leaped in front of him, her staff blazing. “Not today!” she shouted. A solid barrier of moonlight erupted between them. 117Please respect copyright.PENANA4nhNysHzAK
117Please respect copyright.PENANAaqZ9H19KfV
***CRACK!*** 117Please respect copyright.PENANAaqreCFe0CQ
117Please respect copyright.PENANA8xmUbLS08C
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!” 117Please respect copyright.PENANAhiEYaFIBl4
117Please respect copyright.PENANAhN0ZFw2J47
Lu Feng steadied her, his gaze locked on the roaring monstrosity. “I know. Be ready—we’ll need to switch tactics.”
