"At least ten minutes." Zhao Ming's eyes were firm, and he immediately drew his bow and released arrows. The arrows were like lightning, shooting at the approaching spiritual beasts continuously. Each arrow was accurate, temporarily blocking the enemy's offensive.
In these precious minutes, the team quickly packed up their equipment, carried Yueyue on their backs, and retreated according to the original plan. In the forest, Zhao Ming's arrows and the shadow of the mysterious shadow guard intertwined to create a defensive net, buying precious time for the team.
"Hold on, Yueyue." Li Zixue held Yueyue's hand tightly, and the book of wisdom glowed slightly in her hand, as if she was also cheering for her teammates.
The group of people traveled through tension and crisis, and finally got rid of tracking and returned to the relatively safe camp. Yueyue's injury stabilized after preliminary treatment, but her face was still pale and her eyes were shining with tears, and she was more worried about the team.
Sitting around the campfire, the atmosphere is heavier than ever. Su Mo broke the silence: "This accident reminds us that the outside world is far more complex and dangerous than we imagined. Yueyue, we have all seen your bravery, but now, you need to have a good rest."
Yueyue forced a smile and said softly: "I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone."
"What nonsense are you talking about? We are a family, aren't we?" Li Zixue gently stroked Yueyue's head.
The mysterious shadow guard also rarely spoke at this time: "My dereliction of duty put the team in danger. I will be more vigilant in the next journey to ensure that similar things will not happen again."
"Now is not the time to blame." Zhao Ming answered, his eyes full of determination, "We already have clues, and more importantly, we need to unite to face the upcoming challenges."
During the conversation, Yueyue's eyes fell on the book of wisdom. The mysterious book seemed to sense something, and the page automatically turned and stopped at a chapter describing ancient healing methods.
"Look, this book seems to be trying to tell us something." Li Zixue noticed this change and quickly started reading, hoping to find a way to cure Yueyue.
When Yueyue heard the words, the spark of hope rekindled in her eyes. She said softly: "Sister, is there really a solution in the book? I don't want to be a burden to everyone."
Li Zixue frowned, studying with concentration, interacting with the book of wisdom from time to time, as if verifying some ancient wisdom. "There is indeed a method, but it requires some rare materials...and the process may be a little difficult." She raised her head with a solemn expression.
When Su Mo heard this, he immediately asked: "What materials are needed? No matter how difficult it is to find, we will find a way." His tone was firm and left no room for doubt.
"There are mainly three rare herbs, namely Valley Ganoderma, Star Glory Grass and Wind Breath Flower. They all grow in extremely dangerous places." Li Zixue listed them one by one and already had a preliminary plan in mind.
"Zhao Ming, can you draw a distribution map of herbal medicines? We need to split up and collect them as soon as possible." Su Mo made a decision quickly and glanced at everyone to confirm whether they were ready to face the new challenge.
"No problem, I'll get ready right away." Zhao Ming responded and immediately began to organize the information. His movements were quick and precise, and he was obviously very familiar with such a task.
While the team was preparing intensively, Yueyue pulled the corner of Su Mo's clothes and whispered: "Brother, is there anything I can do? I don't want to just wait."
Su Mo knelt down, looked level with Yueyue, and said softly: "Yueyue, your mission is to have a good rest. Let us protect you, which is also one of the ways to protect the world."
Yueyue pursed her lips and finally nodded, a trace of determination flashing in her eyes. "Well, brothers and sisters, please be careful too."
As the night grows darker, the team embarks on the journey again, this time to save Yueyue and to enhance their cohesion. Every step is full of unknowns and dangers, but they have light in their hearts and rock-solid faith.
In the early morning of the next day, when the first ray of sunlight illuminated the earth, the three teams set off separately to go deep into the legendary dangerous places, while Yueyue stayed in the camp accompanied by Li Zixue and the mysterious shadow guard. The book of wisdom lay quietly on Li Zixue's lap, occasionally turning to a new page automatically, as if silently guiding them in the direction forward.
At the same time, Zhao Ming went deep into the valley and stayed with nature. Relying on his superb archery skills and keen intuition, he searched for the almost elusive valley Ganoderma lucidum in the dense forest; Su Mo ran on the top of the peak, and the wind Silk flowers only grow on the highest cliffs Swaying in the wind, waiting for the brave to pick it; and the mysterious shadow guard, his figure shuttles under the starlight. The starlight grass will only appear under the specific starlight in the middle of the night. With his control over the darkness, he captured that An imperceptible light.
A few days later, three groups of people returned one after another, bringing precious herbs and stories of hardships along the way. As they gathered around the campfire and shared their adventures, an indescribable tacit understanding and friendship quietly grew among the team.
"Okay, now that we have everything we need, it's time to start making the antidote." Li Zixue flipped through the instructions in the Book of Wisdom and began to prepare the ritual for making the medicine.
The night is dark, and the preparations around the campfire are tense and orderly. Although Yueyue was feeling unwell, she still insisted on watching from the sidelines, her eyes shining with gratitude and admiration for her teammates.
"Everything is ready, let's begin." Li Zixue said softly, and then slowly put the medicinal materials into the small pot according to the instructions in the ancient book. The flames licked the bottom of the pot, and the aroma of the medicine gradually spread, mysterious and full of hope.
As the potion took shape, Yueyue bravely took the bowl of shimmering liquid and drank it in one gulp. After a while, warm power surged from the bottom of her heart, and she felt the pain in her legs gradually dissipate, replaced by a sense of relief she had never felt before.
"I...I feel much better!" Yueyue shouted in surprise and tried to stand up. Sure enough, the hideous wound had healed unconsciously.
"Great, Yueyue!" Su Mo said excitedly, with a happy smile on his face, "It seems that the ancient method is indeed effective, Li Zixue, you are really great!"
Li Zixue smiled sheepishly and looked at Yueyue gently: "It is the wisdom in the book and the result of everyone's joint efforts."
The mysterious shadow guard stood aside. Although his expression was hidden by a mask, there was a rare softness in his tone: "Seeing you recover is the best news in this period of time."
Zhao Ming patted the dust on his hands and said with a smile: "It seems that I have to thank these spiritual beasts for giving us the opportunity to prove the strength of the team."
Yueyue walked to the bonfire and gently touched the still warm medicine pot, her eyes flashing with determination: "Thank you, big brothers and sisters. I understand now that everyone has their own way of fighting, even me Children like this can also contribute to the team.”
"Yue Yue is right." Su Mo agreed, "Everyone is important. Our journey is still long. No matter what difficulties we encounter in the future, as long as we work together, there will be nothing we can't overcome."

The night sky was filled with stars, and the conversations around the campfire gradually became relaxed and happy, as if even the air was filled with the joy of victory and new hope.
Just as everyone was immersed in the warm atmosphere, the Book of Wisdom automatically opened a new page. This time, it depicts an ancient ruin shrouded in fog, with a line of small words next to it: "The real challenge is Just started.”
Yueyue was the first to notice this sudden change. She pointed to the book page and said excitedly and a little uneasily: "Look, does it mean there is a more important mission waiting for us?"
Su Mo stared at the painting, his eyes gradually becoming serious and firm: "If this is our next goal, then let us join hands again to uncover that forgotten history. No matter what lies ahead, we will Face it together.”
"It's just what I want. I'm tired of living a peaceful life." Zhao Ming was eager to give it a try.
Li Zixue closed the book of wisdom, with a light of exploration in her eyes: "Every adventure is an accumulation of wisdom. I believe that this book will lead us to find the truth."
The mysterious shadow guard nodded silently. Although he didn't say a word, his unwavering eyes said everything.
At this moment, the light of the bonfire seemed to be brighter, reflecting on everyone's face, which was a desire for the unknown, but also trust and reliance on each other.
"Then, let's rest one night and set off tomorrow. Let's go on a new adventure together." Su Mo's words were like a declaration and a promise, filling everyone's hearts with strength and expectation.
"It's settled, captain!" Zhao Ming responded, his eyes shining with desire for new challenges.
Yueyue clenched her little fists. Although she was still a little immature, her tone was extremely firm: "I will also become stronger and fight with everyone!"
Li Zixue chuckled, and the book of wisdom seemed to feel the determination of its owner in her hand, glowing slightly with warmth. "No matter how vast the ocean of knowledge is, I will guide us forward."
The mysterious shadow guard is as taciturn as ever, but his figure seems to be more determined than before, and the guardian in the dark is more steady and powerful at this moment. "I will be your strongest shield."
As the night gets darker, discussions around the campfire slowly turn to planning and preparation for tomorrow. Everyone knows that the road ahead will not be smooth, but as Su Mo said, as long as they are together, nothing is impossible.
The next morning, the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist and shone on this young and brave team. Saying goodbye to the temporary peace, they embarked on a journey to find ancient ruins. Yueyue walked in the middle of the team. Although her steps were still a little staggering, her eyes were brighter and full of determination than anyone else's.
During the journey, they encountered more tests: unknown magic traps, ferocious unknown creatures, and even mechanical puzzles in the ruins. Every step was full of challenges. But the trust and cooperation between the teams allowed them to overcome one by one, and each victory made this bond deeper.
"The mechanism this time doesn't look simple." Zhao Ming looked at the intricate Shimen mechanism in front of him, with the bow and arrow in his hand on standby at any time, just in case.
"Let me take a look." Li Zixue stepped forward and the book of wisdom opened automatically. The light flowed as if whispering to her. After a moment, she showed a knowing smile and began to guide everyone to follow the instructions in the ancient book.
With a dull roar, the stone door slowly opened, revealing the secret passage hidden deep inside. At the end of the passage, the core area of the ancient ruins is vaguely visible, surrounded by the dust of history and unknown magic fluctuations.
"We're here." Su Mo whispered, with excitement and wariness in his eyes. The team slowly walked into the ruins. Every step seemed to be traveling through the long river of time. There may be forgotten past events buried under every stone slab.
The mysterious shadow guard looked around vigilantly, and no movement in the darkness could escape his perception. "Be careful, the energy response here is abnormal, there may be existences we have never encountered before."
While they were exploring carefully, a low chanting sound sounded from the depths of the ruins, distant and mysterious, seeming to be calling for something. The four of them looked at each other without saying anything, but the tacit understanding in their hearts told them that the real challenge begins now.
"No matter what it is, we will not back down." Yueyue said firmly. There was no longer fear in her eyes, replaced by determination and courage, as if to tell everyone that even children can protect important things. strength.
The team continued to go deeper. As the chants got closer and closer, an ancient and powerful force gathered at the core of the ruins. "Get ready to fight." Su Mo ordered in a low voice, and at the same time reached behind his back and slowly pulled out the weapon that had been used in countless battles. The ancient sword accompanying him in the middle, the blade of the sword humming softly, seemed to be responding to the upcoming challenge. Zhao Ming nocked an arrow and drew his bow, his eyes as sharp as a falcon, patrolling the surroundings to ensure the safety of the team.
"This voice... comes from an ancient summoning ritual." Li Zixue frowned, and the book of wisdom automatically turned to a certain page. Ancient runes jumped on the page. She translated softly, "It seems to be trying to awaken A sleeping existence ”
"Sleeping existence?" Yue Yue asked curiously, her little hands tightly grasping the corner of Su Mo's clothes, but there was no fear in her voice at the beginning.
The mysterious shadow guard finally spoke, his voice low and powerful: "Our mission may be far more complicated than imagined, but remember, no matter how powerful the enemy we face, we have each other behind us."
The four of them each performed their duties and cautiously approached the source of the chant. As the distance shortened, a huge circular altar gradually appeared. In the center was an old man wearing a strange robe. He was immersed in the ancient melody with his eyes closed, surrounded by circles of obscure runes. , emitting a faint blue light.
"Stop!" Su Mo shouted, pointing the ancient sword forward, and the sword energy was sharp, waking up the old man who was immersed in the ceremony. The old man slowly opened his eyes, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he regained his composure: "Your arrival was as expected. I am the last guardian of this land, and the ceremony is to prevent an ancient evil. Recovery."(End of Chapter)
