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. 220Please respect copyright.PENANAk9jtOOYOII

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.” 220Please respect copyright.PENANA19CTQORVFD
220Please respect copyright.PENANA3jg4F1d1cx
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.” 220Please respect copyright.PENANAXQKxcni5eX
220Please respect copyright.PENANAlJKNZ5OCmT
Side by side, they stood at the edge of Moonlight Lake, their gazes fixed on the shadowed forest ahead. 220Please respect copyright.PENANAXXVIH6UmLF
220Please respect copyright.PENANA4cwzrQAFaO
“We need a detailed battle plan,” Lu Feng urged. 220Please respect copyright.PENANASkwsVzByNv
220Please respect copyright.PENANAP7bpkP8qUB
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.” 220Please respect copyright.PENANABmBxxMpFx8
220Please respect copyright.PENANAgqDCaQ2zb0
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.” 220Please respect copyright.PENANA7UGzd1QTBs
220Please respect copyright.PENANAHHSSljWKMR
Arya chuckled softly. “That’s because you didn’t have an elven princess as your guide.” 220Please respect copyright.PENANAEvrJb5thBN
220Please respect copyright.PENANAdIVoyQIO6f
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.” 220Please respect copyright.PENANAiSmBqmzhR9
220Please respect copyright.PENANApHGlhpm24k
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. 220Please respect copyright.PENANAKxuM0Tt3k6
220Please respect copyright.PENANABoCITjSiZV
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. 220Please respect copyright.PENANALUhxz4kcFk
220Please respect copyright.PENANAkdu2M0c4yD
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. 220Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ix9IQa4i5
220Please respect copyright.PENANAK1Zb3LzsBE
Night deepened, tension thickening the lakeside air. Lu Feng, Arya, the Shadowcat, and a small band of hastily gathered warriors waited in silence. 220Please respect copyright.PENANApL08jJ8JTQ
220Please respect copyright.PENANAr8NmErxTE3
The roars grew closer, crashing like tidal waves. 220Please respect copyright.PENANAuPTqf5Me7l
220Please respect copyright.PENANApBOWgDsNao
“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. 220Please respect copyright.PENANA2CHnUIJ9Xs
220Please respect copyright.PENANA6VHOVmVAnY
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. 220Please respect copyright.PENANArv1OcgTbYI
220Please respect copyright.PENANA16cs13YTan
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. 220Please respect copyright.PENANAnR7pZZb9Lb
220Please respect copyright.PENANAp3yuQSM581
As victory seemed within reach, a deep tremor shook the earth. Lu Feng and Arya exchanged wary glances. 220Please respect copyright.PENANAgytv3xUBjd
220Please respect copyright.PENANAloPmoFzMcS
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. 220Please respect copyright.PENANAtB9T74H4xk
220Please respect copyright.PENANAYs9GNDh3Gh
“Damn!” Lu Feng hissed. The beast swatted aside obstacles, charging toward him with jaws agape. 220Please respect copyright.PENANA9bCrYewN8I
220Please respect copyright.PENANAISYdChcmkF
Arya leaped in front of him, her staff blazing. “Not today!” she shouted. A solid barrier of moonlight erupted between them. 220Please respect copyright.PENANALBIyf5gIjS
220Please respect copyright.PENANAvzCV9IQDFf
***CRACK!*** 220Please respect copyright.PENANAOE9nmLZADz
220Please respect copyright.PENANAJX4mccx7J8
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!” 220Please respect copyright.PENANAEMITNVhGHq
220Please respect copyright.PENANAkFA920C0bs
Lu Feng steadied her, his gaze locked on the roaring monstrosity. “I know. Be ready—we’ll need to switch tactics.”
