"Maybe we can avoid the shadows here!" A glimmer of hope flashed in Su Wan's eyes, and the two of them rushed into the passage without hesitation.
The passage was damp and narrow, and there was a strange smell in the air around it. Not long after walking, they suddenly found an ancient wooden door at the end of the passage. The door was covered with complex patterns and exuded a faint light.
"Let's try this door!" Lin Feng said, feeling a hint of opportunity coming in his heart.
Su Wan nodded, and the two of them pushed open the wooden door. Behind the door is a spacious and bright room. There is an ancient well in the center of the room. The water in the well is crystal clear. It is surrounded by some ancient utensils and medicinal materials, exuding a faint aura.
"This seems to be a place for refining medicine!" Su Wan said in surprise, with hope shining in her eyes.
"We can use these medicinal materials to enhance our strength!" Lin Feng looked firmly and quickly began to look for suitable materials.
While they were busy, suddenly there was a deep laughter from the corner of the room, and accompanied by a gust of wind, a white-haired mother-in-law slowly walked out. Her face was covered with wrinkles and her eyes shone with wisdom.
"You two young people are really capable of finding this place." The mother-in-law smiled slightly, with a hint of amusement in her tone.
"Senior, are you the guardian here?" Lin Feng asked respectfully, full of curiosity about this weird mother-in-law.
"I'm just an old woman, guarding this well." The mother-in-law shook her head slightly, but her eyes showed a hint of depth, "But, judging from your looks, it seems that you need some help."
"We are escaping from the pursuit of the shadows and want to increase our strength." Su Wan said hurriedly, secretly hoping that her mother-in-law could help.
The mother-in-law smiled slightly and pointed to the ancient well, "The water in this well can revive your spiritual energy and enhance your strength. However, you must be mentally prepared before drinking it, because this water contains countless tests."
"Test?" Lin Feng frowned slightly, hesitant in his heart.
"Yes, only by passing the test can you truly master this power." The mother-in-law's voice was like morning bells and evening drums, clear and powerful.
Lin Feng and Su Wan looked at each other and knew in their hearts that there might be an opportunity to change their destiny.
"We are willing to accept the test!" Lin Feng said firmly, with unyielding fighting spirit shining in his eyes.
"Okay, I will be by your side to help you." The mother-in-law smiled slightly, walked slowly to the well, took out an ancient cup, and scooped up the clear well water.
"Drink it and get ready for the test." The mother-in-law handed the water to the two of them.
Lin Feng and Su Wan took the cups without hesitation, raised their heads and drank the whole drink. As the water entered their throats, a warm force instantly surged into their bodies, and spiritual energy surged like a tide. The two of them felt a strong vibration, as if their entire bodies were being baptized.
"Keep calm and face the test!" Her mother-in-law's voice rang in her ears. With a burst of dizziness, Lin Feng and Su Wan's consciousness gradually blurred, and the surrounding environment began to distort.
When they regained consciousness, they found themselves in a strange space, surrounded by chaos that seemed to have no end. A low roar could be heard faintly in the distance, it was the voice of the black shadow.
"This is the beginning of the test!" Mother-in-law's voice sounded again, "You must defeat these black shadows to gain strength."
"We can definitely do it!" Lin Feng took a deep breath, filled with fighting spirit.
"Come on, Black Shadow!" Su Wan clenched her fists, her eyes shining with determination.
As the black shadow appeared, the two of them rushed forward without hesitation. The black shadows came like a tide. Lin Feng and Su Wan went all out. The spiritual energy surged in their bodies and turned into attacks towards the black shadows.
"We must cooperate well!" Lin Feng shouted, silently calculating the black shadow's attack method in his heart.
"Understood!" Su Wan nodded, silently thinking about the movement of spiritual energy in her mind, preparing for the next wave of attacks.
The two of them kept dodging and counterattacking, gradually finding a rhythm, and the frequency of the black shadow's attacks also slowed down. Just as they were gradually adapting to this space, suddenly, a huge black shadow descended from the sky and approached, as if it wanted to swallow them completely.
"This is the strongest shadow!" Lin Feng's heart tightened, knowing that this was the final test they must face.
"We can't back down!" Su Wan's eyes were firm and she secretly encouraged her in her heart.
The two of them worked together, mobilized the spiritual energy in their bodies, turned into a bright light, and faced the huge black shadow. With a loud noise, the black shadow was hit by the light and instantly turned into nothing.
"We succeeded!" Lin Feng shouted excitedly, feeling full of accomplishment.
"This power is really incredible!" Su Wan felt the changes in the spiritual energy and was secretly surprised.
Just as they were celebrating their victory, suddenly the space around them distorted again, and the figure of their mother-in-law appeared in front of them, with a happy smile on her face.
"You passed the test and gained strength." The mother-in-law said slowly, with approval in her eyes.
"Thank you, senior!" Lin Feng and Su Wan bowed at the same time, their hearts filled with gratitude.
"However, the real test is yet to come." The mother-in-law's tone suddenly became serious, "You must face more powerful enemies before you can fully master this power."
"We will be ready!" Lin Feng said firmly, secretly making up his mind.
"Okay, go ahead and remember your mission." The mother-in-law smiled slightly, then turned into light and dissipated in the air.
"We have to keep moving forward!" Su Wan clenched her fists, her heart filled with fighting spirit.
The two embark on a journey again, and what awaits them in the depths of the forbidden land will be an even more terrifying enemy. Following their footsteps, the roar of the black shadow sounded again, as if warning them of the danger they were about to face.
"No matter what, we must survive!" Lin Feng's eyes were firm and he secretly encouraged him.
"Yes, we will definitely defeat everything!" Su Wan nodded, her eyes shining with courage.
As they continued to move forward, a man in black robe suddenly appeared in the darkness ahead, exuding a powerful aura that was terrifying.
"You are finally here." The man in black robe spoke slowly, his voice was low and cold, "I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Who are you?" Lin Feng's heart tightened and he asked warily.
"I am the guardian of the forbidden area, specializing in destroying intruders." The man in black robe had a sneer on his lips, and his eyes were ruthless.
"We won't let you succeed!" Su Wan shouted angrily, gathering spiritual energy in her hands again, ready to fight. "Come on, try your strength!" The man in black robe waved his hand, and the surrounding darkness surged instantly, turning into countless black shadows and rushing toward the two of them.
"We must unite!" Lin Feng shouted, secretly encouraging in his heart.
"Understood!" Su Wan nodded, and the two of them worked together to face the black shadow's attack again.
This time, their power was stronger than before, and their spiritual energy surged like a tide, approaching the man in black robe. With a loud noise, the black shadow was repulsed, and the two of them were secretly grateful. However, the laughter of the man in black robes echoed in their ears.
"Do you think you can defeat me like this?" The man in black robe smiled coldly, and the spiritual energy in his hand suddenly strengthened, instantly turning into a violent force and attacking the two of them.
"Quick, protect yourself!" Lin Feng's heart tightened and he tried his best to resist the attack.
"I won't let you down!" Su Wan gritted her teeth and said, spiritual energy surging continuously in her body, forming a powerful barrier.
"We must not give up!" Lin Feng encouraged secretly in his heart, trying to gather strength together.
At this critical moment, the black-robed man's attacks poured down like a flood.
Just as the black-robed man's attacks poured down like a flood, Lin Feng and Su Wan felt an invisible pressure pressing on them, as if the entire space was collapsing. Lin Feng tried his best to gather his spiritual energy into a barrier, but his strength seemed so insignificant in front of the black-robed man.
"Quick, go back!" Su Wan shouted, her eyes full of anxiety. She pulled Lin Feng and tried to find an opportunity to escape. The laughter of the man in black robes echoed in their ears, as if he was laughing at their incompetence.
"We can't die here!" Lin Feng swore secretly in his heart and backed away desperately. They rushed backwards desperately, passing through the chaotic space, until they could no longer withstand the attack of the black-robed man, and they were swallowed up in the darkness with a flicker of their bodies.
When they regained consciousness, they found themselves in an icy wasteland, surrounded by white snow and biting wind, as if they had entered a completely different world. Lin Feng and Amelia Su looked at each other, filled with doubts.
"Where is this?" Su Wan looked around, feeling a little uneasy.
"I don't know, but we have to be careful." Lin Feng said alertly. Behind them, the figure of the man in black robe seemed to have disappeared, but the feeling of being chased still lingered in his mind.
"There is a stockade ahead!" Su Wan suddenly pointed to the distance, where a stockade made of ice and snow could be vaguely seen, surrounded by towering ice walls, giving people a mysterious and dangerous feeling.
"Let's go there, maybe we can find a place to take refuge." Lin Feng suggested, secretly hoping to find a safe shelter.
They cautiously approached the Ice Wolf Village. However, as soon as they approached the edge of the village, they felt a strong sense of oppression. The surrounding air seemed to become colder, and even breathing became difficult.
"The atmosphere here is not right." Su Wan trembled slightly, feeling vaguely uneasy in her heart.
"Let's go in quickly!" Lin Feng gritted his teeth and said, secretly praying that he could find safety in the village.
After entering the village, they found that the environment here was even weirder. Various strange patterns are carved on the surrounding ice walls, which seem to tell ancient legends. The village was eerily quiet, as if even the sound of the wind had been suppressed.
"Look!" Su Wan suddenly pointed forward. There was a group of ice wolves, covered with thick frost, staring at them with a cold light in their eyes.
"We have been discovered!" Lin Feng's heart tightened and he quickly retreated.
The ice wolves let out a low growl, as if to warn them not to get close. Lin Feng and Su Wan knew that they had to escape from this dangerous place.
"Quick, run over there!" Lin Feng pointed to the other side of the stockade, where there seemed to be a path.
They ran towards the path as hard as they could, but the ice wolves followed closely behind, approaching quickly. Lin Feng and Su Wan's heartbeats were beating like thunder, feeling that the threat of death was close at hand.
"We can't stop!" Su Wan gritted her teeth and tried to maintain speed.
Just when they were about to be overtaken by the ice wolf, a shimmering door suddenly appeared in front of them. Lin Feng's heart moved, and he pulled Amelia Su in without hesitation.
As soon as the door closed, the surroundings instantly became extremely quiet, as if everything was isolated. Lin Feng and Su Wan gasped and looked around, finding themselves in a strange dream.
"Is this...a dream?" Su Wan murmured to herself, with a trace of confusion in her eyes.
"We seem to be trapped in a trial dream." Lin Feng was secretly alert, the surrounding environment was constantly changing, as if testing their will.
In the dream, dark shadows appeared and disappeared, seeming to be looking for something. Lin Feng and Su Wan knew that this dream was not simple and they must deal with it carefully.
"We have to find the core of the dream before we can escape." Lin Feng said, secretly thinking about how to decipher this dream.
However, as they explore, various tests continue to appear in the dream. First, there was an endless fog. There were countless phantoms hidden in the fog, trying to confuse their minds.
"Don't believe the illusion in front of you!" Lin Feng reminded, trying to keep a clear mind.
"I know!" Su Wan nodded, secretly encouraging in her heart. She held Lin Feng's hand tightly and felt the warmth of each other.
Just as they were walking through the fog, a huge demon suddenly appeared, exuding a cold aura, its eyes were like a torch, and it locked onto their figures.
"Are you here to look for heirs?" The devil's voice was low and gloomy, as if mocking their ignorance.
"We are not here!" Lin Feng responded angrily, secretly vigilant in his heart.
"No matter how hard you struggle, this is my domain." The demon smiled coldly and immediately attacked them.
"Quick, get out of the way!" Su Wan shouted, and the two quickly dodged to the side. However, the demon's attack followed them closely, and there was no way to escape.
In the constant escape and counterattack, Lin Feng and Su Wan gradually realized that the devil's attack was not a pure power, but a test of their hearts. Every attack tested their will and courage.
"We can't be knocked down!" Lin Feng encouraged secretly in his heart, trying to mobilize the spiritual energy in his body in an attempt to fight back.
"I will fight with you!" Su Wan said firmly, with courage shining in her eyes.
In conflicts after conflicts, they constantly summed up their experience and gradually found ways to deal with the devil. Although every counterattack was extremely difficult, their faith became stronger.
"We will definitely defeat you!" Lin Feng roared, spiritual energy surged in his body like a tide, turned into a ray of light and rushed towards the demon. (End of chapter)
