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. 218Please respect copyright.PENANA89IhXAptJT

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.” 218Please respect copyright.PENANAwOgk1BD2HX
218Please respect copyright.PENANAKeR4z3GWqt
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.” 218Please respect copyright.PENANAyWjLwXEedG
218Please respect copyright.PENANAG8EIVYaBdd
Side by side, they stood at the edge of Moonlight Lake, their gazes fixed on the shadowed forest ahead. 218Please respect copyright.PENANAZOJVCmW0Pz
218Please respect copyright.PENANAPSPZOrYlDk
“We need a detailed battle plan,” Lu Feng urged. 218Please respect copyright.PENANAnpcT0CE9jK
218Please respect copyright.PENANA8gww1qvpWX
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.” 218Please respect copyright.PENANAKqHQSSw5CM
218Please respect copyright.PENANANxXVtNJswO
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.” 218Please respect copyright.PENANAnT4lg6sM4S
218Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2DQl70mm4
Arya chuckled softly. “That’s because you didn’t have an elven princess as your guide.” 218Please respect copyright.PENANAEIPLf4WQJh
218Please respect copyright.PENANA4qZRpXwEAd
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.” 218Please respect copyright.PENANAON81utrnPL
218Please respect copyright.PENANALJCUjw17ub
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. 218Please respect copyright.PENANAYXbAQ4L5BW
218Please respect copyright.PENANA3pGnVDCVMU
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. 218Please respect copyright.PENANAxc33Pfpg9S
218Please respect copyright.PENANAeUfAlcNgfH
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. 218Please respect copyright.PENANAEagO91RJvg
218Please respect copyright.PENANAz1YJOYNHoQ
Night deepened, tension thickening the lakeside air. Lu Feng, Arya, the Shadowcat, and a small band of hastily gathered warriors waited in silence. 218Please respect copyright.PENANAwdgWeEkvNE
218Please respect copyright.PENANAj0VrbhWtp4
The roars grew closer, crashing like tidal waves. 218Please respect copyright.PENANAy80QsA72dW
218Please respect copyright.PENANAVeCRlfrrQN
“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. 218Please respect copyright.PENANAQEp3pfw9iE
218Please respect copyright.PENANAbKI4vFn8wx
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. 218Please respect copyright.PENANAL53KOrn2wZ
218Please respect copyright.PENANAjfKmjlS5NL
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. 218Please respect copyright.PENANASyiqotqoSQ
218Please respect copyright.PENANAm0CadYmuHa
As victory seemed within reach, a deep tremor shook the earth. Lu Feng and Arya exchanged wary glances. 218Please respect copyright.PENANAU0zJebu1Ms
218Please respect copyright.PENANAGQMQtER3NG
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. 218Please respect copyright.PENANA9RneUWJcio
218Please respect copyright.PENANAG2zVYwWEM8
“Damn!” Lu Feng hissed. The beast swatted aside obstacles, charging toward him with jaws agape. 218Please respect copyright.PENANAygtz39iIsy
218Please respect copyright.PENANAWYvArtdLCO
Arya leaped in front of him, her staff blazing. “Not today!” she shouted. A solid barrier of moonlight erupted between them. 218Please respect copyright.PENANA8RJ77zMPmY
218Please respect copyright.PENANAzuDECdLwiE
***CRACK!*** 218Please respect copyright.PENANAUV2zx8FVzD
218Please respect copyright.PENANAP5mjOK1FtO
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!” 218Please respect copyright.PENANArQF7Zv95Yy
218Please respect copyright.PENANAWKotvjJGOs
Lu Feng steadied her, his gaze locked on the roaring monstrosity. “I know. Be ready—we’ll need to switch tactics.”
