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. 217Please respect copyright.PENANAkFzvAXEctm

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.” 217Please respect copyright.PENANAd4aXX3sfPy
217Please respect copyright.PENANABblHDwchIS
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.” 217Please respect copyright.PENANAKMSv4Pl6T4
217Please respect copyright.PENANA8OWnZq23BS
Side by side, they stood at the edge of Moonlight Lake, their gazes fixed on the shadowed forest ahead. 217Please respect copyright.PENANAKZyiEDmKJ5
217Please respect copyright.PENANAK1y3JoZWxe
“We need a detailed battle plan,” Lu Feng urged. 217Please respect copyright.PENANAB0lQHphb5f
217Please respect copyright.PENANADD66Bq5YDK
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.” 217Please respect copyright.PENANAqF5dfQKdWQ
217Please respect copyright.PENANAqgpwieNu4Q
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.” 217Please respect copyright.PENANAUgK0xuP1xD
217Please respect copyright.PENANAV3ncExk5y6
Arya chuckled softly. “That’s because you didn’t have an elven princess as your guide.” 217Please respect copyright.PENANA0Gox0MOTl2
217Please respect copyright.PENANAZXzSJiTc5s
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.” 217Please respect copyright.PENANA1Cof2xNwV2
217Please respect copyright.PENANAJR8TZdgxmu
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. 217Please respect copyright.PENANASc3b5N84Gw
217Please respect copyright.PENANAulw5ygXC2L
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. 217Please respect copyright.PENANAutwmU786iE
217Please respect copyright.PENANARx2MDyUAfU
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. 217Please respect copyright.PENANAnVnY1FFT9f
217Please respect copyright.PENANAlbGl5ckNi6
Night deepened, tension thickening the lakeside air. Lu Feng, Arya, the Shadowcat, and a small band of hastily gathered warriors waited in silence. 217Please respect copyright.PENANAtOAHakUDHI
217Please respect copyright.PENANAOlHnl7QdCI
The roars grew closer, crashing like tidal waves. 217Please respect copyright.PENANASJUp2WhvQv
217Please respect copyright.PENANAbXju238J72
“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. 217Please respect copyright.PENANAZTi6fUSKBV
217Please respect copyright.PENANA6nrKaO9AzA
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. 217Please respect copyright.PENANAzEPA9S7fbO
217Please respect copyright.PENANAvIdXKinV0Q
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. 217Please respect copyright.PENANAepEKmNeXj1
217Please respect copyright.PENANAiGfkAqsm3e
As victory seemed within reach, a deep tremor shook the earth. Lu Feng and Arya exchanged wary glances. 217Please respect copyright.PENANAGCobOuSZER
217Please respect copyright.PENANAlvlMS8rDJ5
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. 217Please respect copyright.PENANAfH7n8cBJgG
217Please respect copyright.PENANAGc4kuQ2KOK
“Damn!” Lu Feng hissed. The beast swatted aside obstacles, charging toward him with jaws agape. 217Please respect copyright.PENANAPlw0IUEkYE
217Please respect copyright.PENANA34k9FBiQhX
Arya leaped in front of him, her staff blazing. “Not today!” she shouted. A solid barrier of moonlight erupted between them. 217Please respect copyright.PENANAVhLrEi5RgX
217Please respect copyright.PENANALhzUI2J3Gt
***CRACK!*** 217Please respect copyright.PENANAh11UhRYJTG
217Please respect copyright.PENANAVtPlahgKSs
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!” 217Please respect copyright.PENANA1COXxYSIhQ
217Please respect copyright.PENANA6Gz47Zycax
Lu Feng steadied her, his gaze locked on the roaring monstrosity. “I know. Be ready—we’ll need to switch tactics.”
