"What?" Lin Feng asked doubtfully.
"I can use magic to confuse them and create an illusion." Chen Le's eyes flashed with determination, "But this requires me to concentrate all my strength."
Lin Feng took a deep breath and nodded. He knew this was his only chance, "Okay, hurry up!"
Chen Le closed his eyes and began to recite the spell, and the surrounding air instantly became tense and mysterious. As the sound of her spells grew louder, the surrounding trees seemed to begin to sway, as if in response to her call.
"Quick! I need time!" Chen Le's voice became more urgent. Lin Feng looked nervously at the orc warriors outside, fearing that they would notice something strange.
At this moment, Chen Le's magic finally reached its peak, and a twisted light and shadow appeared in the surrounding air, instantly turning into a phantom exactly like Lin Feng, running towards the distance.
"Quick! Let's go!" Lin Feng shouted, holding Chen Le's hand and rushing in the opposite direction. As expected, the beast warriors were attracted by the phantom and chased after it, roaring one after another.
"We succeeded!" Lin Feng felt excited. However, the escape was not as smooth as he imagined. In the woods ahead, a low roar suddenly sounded. Lin Feng's heart tightened, realizing that the danger was not far away.
"Keep running!" he yelled, feeling uneasy. The moment they ran out of the ancient tree, a huge orc beast jumped out from the bushes and opened its mouth to bite them.
"Get away!" Lin Feng pushed Chen Le aside, but he was scratched by the beast's claws, and his clothes were stained red with blood.
"Lin Feng!" Chen Le exclaimed, his heart filled with panic. She immediately took out her magic wand and prepared to cast magic, but Lin Feng shook his head.
"Leave me alone, run!" Lin Feng gritted his teeth and said, his heart filled with unwillingness and pain. He understood that if he did not escape in time, he would become the prey of this beast.
"I won't leave you!" Chen Le's eyes flashed with tears, and his heart was filled with helplessness. At this moment, the beast pounced again. Lin Feng's heart tightened and he waved the sword in his hand with all his strength, trying to block the beast's attack.
"Ball of flame!" Chen Le finally plucked up the courage and fired a burst of flame at the beast, hitting it in the side. The beast roared in pain and stopped attacking instantly.
"Now! Run!" Lin Feng shouted, holding Chen Le's hand and running towards the depths of the forest. Although the physical pain made it almost impossible for him to support himself, his unyielding faith was always burning in his heart.
The two continued to walk through the forest, but Lin Feng could not let go. He knew that if he did not find a safe place as soon as possible, both himself and Chen Le would face greater danger.
"There is a cave ahead!" Chen Le suddenly pointed forward, with hope shining in his eyes. Lin Feng followed her hand and saw a hidden cave, feeling delighted.
"Hurry in!" Lin Feng pulled Chen Le and quickly ran towards the cave. After entering the cave, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and were temporarily freed from the threat of pursuing soldiers.
"We are safe for now." Lin Feng panted and leaned against the wall of the cave, his heart full of exhaustion and uneasiness.
"But, Lily..." Chen Le's voice was low, and his eyes flashed with worry.
Lin Feng's heart tightened, and worries about Lily surged in his heart. He knew that if he didn't find her as soon as possible, he would never be able to let go.
"We can't give up, she must be waiting for us somewhere." Lin Feng said firmly, secretly swearing in his heart that he must find Lily and take her home with him.
At this moment, the footsteps of orc warriors came from outside the cave, and Lin Feng and Chen Le felt a sense of urgency in their hearts again.
"We have to find a way." Lin Feng whispered, eager and anxious in his heart. They must find a safe exit to avoid being discovered by their pursuers.
"I can cast invisibility magic." Chen Le thought, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, "This can help us hide from their sight temporarily."
Lin Feng nodded, his heart full of hope. He knew that only by uniting together could we overcome the current difficulties.
"Quick, let's start!" Lin Feng urged, his heart full of anticipation.
Chen Le closed his eyes and began to recite the spell, and the surrounding air instantly became tense and mysterious. As the sound of her spells continued to rise, the light inside the cave gradually dimmed, as if a thin mist enveloped them.
"Okay!" Chen Le finally opened his eyes, with a firm light shining in his eyes. Lin Feng felt relieved and secretly prayed in his heart, hoping to escape smoothly.
"Let's go!" Lin Feng whispered, holding Chen Le's hand and slowly moving towards the other side of the cave. The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer, and Lin Feng's heart was filled with tension and uneasiness.
Just when they were about to walk out of the cave, a roar suddenly came from outside. Lin Feng's heart tightened, realizing that the pursuers had discovered their traces.
"Run!" Lin Feng shouted, holding Chen Le's hand and rushing out of the cave. The air outside was filled with tension, and the figures of the orc warriors became blurry and ferocious in the light.
Lin Feng tried his best. He believed that as long as he united, he would be able to overcome all difficulties and protect his people.
However, the road ahead was not smooth. The sudden appearance of Orc warriors came like a tide. Lin Feng and Chen Le were forced to separate. Lin Feng felt nervous and hurriedly turned back to look for Chen Le.
"Chen Le!" he shouted, feeling filled with uneasiness. At this moment, an orc warrior rushed towards him. Lin Feng's heart tightened and he quickly swung his sword to resist.
"Go to hell, little elf!" the orc warrior roared, approaching with the claw knife in his hand. Lin Feng felt panic in his heart and swung his sword with all his strength. The light of the sword flashed across the warrior's arm and blood splattered everywhere.
"I won't give up!" Lin Feng roared, holding back the huge force, and swung his sword with all his strength. The sword's light was like a rainbow, and it pierced the heart of the orc warrior. The soldier let out a scream, and his huge body fell to the ground.
"Let's go!" Lin Feng shouted, his heart filled with a sense of urgency. He knew that if he did not retreat in time, he would face greater danger.
At this moment, Chen Le's figure finally appeared in his sight. She cast her magic and ran towards Lin Feng. Lin Feng was filled with joy, and he quickly took her hand and ran towards the depths of the forest.
"Continue!" Lin Feng said firmly, his heart full of hope for the future. He believes that as long as we unite as one, we will be able to overcome all difficulties.
In the process of escaping, Lin Feng and Chen Le kept running through the forest, avoiding the pursuit of the orc warriors. Although there were constant roars behind them, their hearts were always full of courage and determination.
"We're almost there!" Lin Feng suddenly pointed forward, his eyes flashing with excitement. Chen Le followed his hand and looked forward. Sure enough, he saw the light ahead and felt excited. "Quick, rush over!" Chen Le shouted, his heart full of hope. They ran towards the light with all their strength, and finally broke out of the shackles of the forest at the last moment.
"We succeeded!" Lin Feng felt excited. Looking back, the shadow of the forest gradually disappeared behind him. They finally escaped from the dangerous situation.
However, the joy of victory did not last long, and Lin Feng's concern for Lily once again arose in his heart. He knew that he had to find her as soon as possible in order to avenge her.
"We can't stop!" Lin Feng said firmly, his heart full of courage and hope. He believes that as long as we unite as one, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and protect our people.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared on the hill ahead. Lin Feng's heart tightened and he realized that it was Lily's figure. His heart was filled with excitement and he ran forward quickly.
"Lily!" Lin Feng shouted, his heart full of anticipation. Lily turned around, her eyes flashing with surprise, and then ran towards Lin Feng.
"You are finally back!" Lily said excitedly, with tears in her eyes. Lin Feng felt warm in his heart and held her hand, feeling filled with joy.
"Let's go back together!" Lin Feng said firmly, his heart full of hope. He knew that only by uniting together could he overcome all difficulties and protect his people.
Under the sunshine, the three finally walked out of the shadow of the forest.
The moment they walked out of the forest, Lin Feng, Chen Le and Lily all felt a burst of warm sunshine shining on their bodies, as if they had escaped from the dark world into the light. However, the sight before them stunned them.
"Where...where is this?" Lily exclaimed, her eyes shining with incredible light.
Before them was a gorgeous illusion, with colorful flowers swaying gently in the breeze, the air filled with sweet floral fragrance, and the sky a strange purple that seemed to be constantly changing colors. The mountains in the distance are like a dreamy watercolor painting, with vague and graceful outlines, as if they will melt into this illusion at any time.
"We seem to have entered a different dimension." Chen Le whispered, his heart full of vigilance. Her magic sensed a powerful energy flowing around her, as if everything here was not restricted by conventional laws.
"We must be careful." Lin Feng frowned, feeling vaguely uneasy in his heart. They had just escaped the pursuit of the orcs, but now they were trapped in an unknown situation.
At this moment, a crisp laughter sounded behind them. The three of them turned around and found a child standing not far away. The child is about six or seven years old. He has an innocent smile on his face and is wearing a white robe. He looks like an elf coming out of a fairy tale.
"Hello!" The child waved to them, his voice as clear as a bell, "Welcome to the fantasy world!"
"Who are you?" Lin Feng asked warily, full of doubts about this child.
"I am the guardian of this illusion." The child smiled slightly, with a strange light shining in his eyes, "You will see many incredible things here!"
"We just want to go home," Lily said, filled with doubts about the child's identity.
"Go home?" The child blinked, as if full of curiosity about the word, "Here, you can get everything you want, even power!"
Lin Feng was shocked, remembering his previous encounter. What they need most now is strength to fight against the threat of the orcs. However, his instinct told him that this child was not simple.
"What do you want to give us?" Lin Feng asked tentatively.
The child smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and a bright light appeared in his palm. The light rotated in the air, giving off a charming brilliance. Following the child's gestures, the light gradually changed into various strange shapes, like a phantom in a dream, sometimes turning into a sharp sword, sometimes turning into a huge wing.
"This is the power you need." The child's voice became deep and powerful, "You can get them as long as you are willing."
"I don't believe you!" Chen Le said calmly, wary of this child's proposal. "Power is not something you get for nothing."
The child's smile did not disappear, but became even brighter: "You can try, accept the challenge, or choose to leave here. No matter what decision you make, I will respect it."
Lin Feng's heart moved. Although he had doubts about the child's motives, he understood that the current dilemma was imminent. He turned to look at Lily and Chen Le, thinking secretly in his heart.
"We need strength." Lin Feng said firmly, "Maybe this is an opportunity."
"But there may be a price." Chen Le frowned, his voice low.
"I am willing to take risks." Lin Feng's eyes flashed with determination, "In order to protect you, I am willing to accept the challenge."
"Me too." Lily nodded, determination flashing in her eyes.
"Okay." Chen Le sighed. Although he was uneasy, he knew he couldn't give up. She knows that only by uniting together can we overcome the current difficulties.
After hearing this, the child's mouth curled up into a smile, seemingly satisfied with their decision. "Then, let the challenge begin!"
As the child's voice fell, the surrounding scene began to distort. The flowers and mountains in the illusion quickly disappeared, replaced by a whirlpool-like space. The three of them felt dizzy, and the scene in front of them kept changing until they stood in a huge arena.
The arena was surrounded by towering crystal walls, which shimmered with colorful lights, as if to cheer them on. In the center of the arena is a huge smooth stone platform, surrounded by countless spectators, all of whom are vague phantoms, seeming to be expecting something.
"The first challenge, face your inner fears!" The child's voice echoed in the air. As his words fell, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared in the center of the arena, which gradually became clearer.
It was a huge monster, its body covered with sharp scales, its ferocious face flashing with fierce eyes, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression. It made a low roar, as if mocking the fragility of the three.
"This is the incarnation of fear in your hearts!" The child's voice was still crisp, "Conquer it and you will gain strength!"
"We must unite!" Lin Feng said loudly, his heart full of courage. He knew that only by working together could he defeat this terrible enemy. (End of chapter)
