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. 235Please respect copyright.PENANAwUEOCsYJdw

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.” 235Please respect copyright.PENANAL9M009Nxzv
235Please respect copyright.PENANAp0ducqX8R7
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.” 235Please respect copyright.PENANAUUvirTPuim
235Please respect copyright.PENANAJVVyYp17KV
Side by side, they stood at the edge of Moonlight Lake, their gazes fixed on the shadowed forest ahead. 235Please respect copyright.PENANAWjTYC2RMia
235Please respect copyright.PENANAAVXlpkFBai
“We need a detailed battle plan,” Lu Feng urged. 235Please respect copyright.PENANA8byfvYDhpP
235Please respect copyright.PENANAR8ixgCpv1z
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.” 235Please respect copyright.PENANAmaKVBNjwY9
235Please respect copyright.PENANAkUitMhZ7bL
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.” 235Please respect copyright.PENANAWqpB6ZKY33
235Please respect copyright.PENANANuES5ABvi8
Arya chuckled softly. “That’s because you didn’t have an elven princess as your guide.” 235Please respect copyright.PENANAiWsUrxmQwB
235Please respect copyright.PENANA4QZcfwPpEG
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.” 235Please respect copyright.PENANAMPzKatYYs7
235Please respect copyright.PENANAcfQr7l7MOy
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. 235Please respect copyright.PENANA9EG2mqGjJ7
235Please respect copyright.PENANALhpla0VmDL
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. 235Please respect copyright.PENANAePGxgEn9j7
235Please respect copyright.PENANAZKIrKvoX5X
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. 235Please respect copyright.PENANACM5KNxyHXe
235Please respect copyright.PENANAJYHECTl4iM
Night deepened, tension thickening the lakeside air. Lu Feng, Arya, the Shadowcat, and a small band of hastily gathered warriors waited in silence. 235Please respect copyright.PENANAsvCFWUZ60c
235Please respect copyright.PENANA3QhaOfTiH3
The roars grew closer, crashing like tidal waves. 235Please respect copyright.PENANABq4Ge1OHw2
235Please respect copyright.PENANANfMuO2xhTo
“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. 235Please respect copyright.PENANAg800EnHQyf
235Please respect copyright.PENANAtoHgB1wHlW
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. 235Please respect copyright.PENANAuBqEfX24n7
235Please respect copyright.PENANAxwh3reAmTX
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. 235Please respect copyright.PENANAFWxXbCbOit
235Please respect copyright.PENANA8HSudMuRWC
As victory seemed within reach, a deep tremor shook the earth. Lu Feng and Arya exchanged wary glances. 235Please respect copyright.PENANAEp76FID7X9
235Please respect copyright.PENANAlvSvnXehDR
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. 235Please respect copyright.PENANAyu9j6DgGsd
235Please respect copyright.PENANAa7DK7wrfFs
“Damn!” Lu Feng hissed. The beast swatted aside obstacles, charging toward him with jaws agape. 235Please respect copyright.PENANANTdvAsHhr2
235Please respect copyright.PENANA8P2ZnCFhCi
Arya leaped in front of him, her staff blazing. “Not today!” she shouted. A solid barrier of moonlight erupted between them. 235Please respect copyright.PENANAOQtOSegIAB
235Please respect copyright.PENANAa7MiHqWBXg
***CRACK!*** 235Please respect copyright.PENANAFhHdS2qWoO
235Please respect copyright.PENANAklQ0vTmTRe
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!” 235Please respect copyright.PENANAsYSV7ICOOY
235Please respect copyright.PENANAqmgjE5lOSu
Lu Feng steadied her, his gaze locked on the roaring monstrosity. “I know. Be ready—we’ll need to switch tactics.”
