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. 219Please respect copyright.PENANAyJ64mWkEVE

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.” 219Please respect copyright.PENANAh3jM8h8esf
219Please respect copyright.PENANAqECeoYEv3A
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.” 219Please respect copyright.PENANA6lNEmCZrDq
219Please respect copyright.PENANAeGQ2bU3TqJ
Side by side, they stood at the edge of Moonlight Lake, their gazes fixed on the shadowed forest ahead. 219Please respect copyright.PENANAbzytWPi4fO
219Please respect copyright.PENANA4ICjtN8M7v
“We need a detailed battle plan,” Lu Feng urged. 219Please respect copyright.PENANA73bw9B2Y42
219Please respect copyright.PENANAyjNp13R8zQ
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.” 219Please respect copyright.PENANAreaof8QADS
219Please respect copyright.PENANADIJMel3AoC
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.” 219Please respect copyright.PENANAtY4v0vBAe9
219Please respect copyright.PENANABX6ZIGW8mE
Arya chuckled softly. “That’s because you didn’t have an elven princess as your guide.” 219Please respect copyright.PENANAWKi7T9XwFS
219Please respect copyright.PENANA8HIQGSOHnC
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.” 219Please respect copyright.PENANAVkvdXFWf0t
219Please respect copyright.PENANAAKhsETz9w9
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. 219Please respect copyright.PENANA34lcMvMfoi

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. 219Please respect copyright.PENANAlBFrajV9iE
219Please respect copyright.PENANAhQQAwzrcRV
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. 219Please respect copyright.PENANACpuVY5BoHW
219Please respect copyright.PENANAVbIe0Wv626
Night deepened, tension thickening the lakeside air. Lu Feng, Arya, the Shadowcat, and a small band of hastily gathered warriors waited in silence. 219Please respect copyright.PENANAjBrSIkw8VN
219Please respect copyright.PENANAN3DA4yq8ie
The roars grew closer, crashing like tidal waves. 219Please respect copyright.PENANAeLVlePUN3q
219Please respect copyright.PENANACYjyLt5eDt
“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. 219Please respect copyright.PENANAtUa1gM9iJc
219Please respect copyright.PENANAJXVXw8JTTy
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. 219Please respect copyright.PENANA6bZQfuzqy6
219Please respect copyright.PENANALhYvcSFUki
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. 219Please respect copyright.PENANAuEI4ItGVAT
219Please respect copyright.PENANAn8NmkrGzka
As victory seemed within reach, a deep tremor shook the earth. Lu Feng and Arya exchanged wary glances. 219Please respect copyright.PENANAL50w4YvDvj
219Please respect copyright.PENANAmfgVfIUXy5
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. 219Please respect copyright.PENANAvi7Q4nFkB8
219Please respect copyright.PENANAfSj87Yxgig
“Damn!” Lu Feng hissed. The beast swatted aside obstacles, charging toward him with jaws agape. 219Please respect copyright.PENANAqXyKSEgLCe
219Please respect copyright.PENANAP8Lx9OREaj
Arya leaped in front of him, her staff blazing. “Not today!” she shouted. A solid barrier of moonlight erupted between them. 219Please respect copyright.PENANAiINtyOKwqg
219Please respect copyright.PENANAlsfV5x7LXg
***CRACK!*** 219Please respect copyright.PENANAtRXpqeB5jY
219Please respect copyright.PENANA5tfvNsVqlc
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!” 219Please respect copyright.PENANAIf4TbWPBpe
219Please respect copyright.PENANAHhIMWBMJsX
Lu Feng steadied her, his gaze locked on the roaring monstrosity. “I know. Be ready—we’ll need to switch tactics.”
