Chapter 49 - I Know More Than You Think…

The old man said slowly, "Regarding the Mysterious Organization and that Dark Power, I know far more than you imagine…"

Hu Yulun stepped forward urgently, his eyes fixed on the old man. "Then please, tell us quickly!"

The old man nodded slightly, his gaze deep and distant. "It is an ancient and evil organization. They seek to obtain Forbidden Power to rule the entire continent. This Dark Power originates from an ancient Curse. It has been sealed for many years, but recently, there have been signs of its revival."

Isabella frowned, her brow furrowed in worry. "Then how powerful is this power? And how should we deal with it?"

The old man sighed softly. "Its power is beyond imagination. They have mastered the essence of Dark Magic, capable of manipulating minds and creating fear. But you have come this far, enduring many hardships. You have both courage and wisdom, so you are not without a chance of winning."

Aiden clenched his fists. "No matter what, we will not retreat!"

Merlin's eyes were firm. "Please tell us more about how to restrain this power."

The old man nodded. "Deep within the Castle, there is an Ancient Manual, which may provide you with clues. But it is filled with traps and danger."

Hu Yulun said without hesitation, "We'll go immediately!"

The old man handed him a key. "This is the key to open the Secret Chamber. Good luck to you."

After Hu Yulun and the others thanked him, they headed towards the depths of the Castle. A damp atmosphere permeated the passage, and the torches on the walls flickered.

"Be careful, everyone," Hu Yulun said, walking in front and cautiously testing each step.

Isabella followed closely behind, her expression tense, her short sword ready to strike at any moment.

Aiden, on the other hand, cautiously observed his surroundings. "This place is really creepy."

Suddenly, rows of sharp spikes appeared on the ground.

"Watch out!" Merlin warned loudly.

Hu Yulun quickly leaped up, dodging the attack of the spikes.

Isabella rolled to the side, her movements agile.

Aiden used his greatsword to slash the spikes apart.

They continued forward and encountered a wall of fire.

"What do we do now?" Isabella was a little anxious.

Hu Yulun thought for a moment, "Merlin, can you use magic to control the fire?"

Merlin nodded, concentrating his magic power, and the flames of the fire wall gradually weakened.

They took the opportunity to pass through the wall of fire and finally arrived in front of the Secret Chamber door.

Hu Yulun used the key to open the door, and a musty smell filled the Secret Chamber.

"The Ancient Manual should be in here," Hu Yulun said.

They began to search in the Secret Chamber and finally found the Ancient Manual on an old bookshelf.

"Found it!" Aiden shouted excitedly.

Just then, the Secret Chamber began to shake violently, and stones kept falling from above.

"It's not good, run!" Hu Yulun shouted.

They carried the Ancient Manual and ran out desperately.

As soon as they ran out of the Secret Chamber, it collapsed with a loud boom.

"That was close!" Isabella patted her chest, still feeling shaken.

They opened the Ancient Manual and began to study it carefully.

"So, we need to find three Sacred Artifacts to completely eliminate the Dark Power," Hu Yulun said.

"Then let's hurry and set off!" Aiden said impatiently.

Following the Ancient Manual's guidance, they embarked on a journey to find the Sacred Artifacts.

Along the way, they encountered fierce storms and traversed treacherous mountain paths.

At the foot of a High Mountain, Hu Yulun gazed at the towering peaks. "The first Sacred Artifact is on this mountain."

Isabella looked at the steep mountain. "This won't be easy to climb."

Aiden didn't care at all. "Don't be afraid, we can definitely get up there!"

They began to climb the High Mountain, every step filled with hardship.

Hu Yulun's hand was cut by the rocks, and blood flowed, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

Isabella accidentally stepped on the air and almost slipped.

"Careful!" Hu Yulun grabbed her.

Aiden led the way in front, panting with exhaustion.

Finally, they reached the summit and found the first of the Sacred Artifacts.

"Great, we're one step closer to victory!" Aiden said excitedly.

However, their mission was far from over…

Holding the first Sacred Artifacts, Hu Yulun and the others hurried to their next destination. At this point, their bodies and minds were exhausted, but their eyes still burned with unwavering determination.

Isabella gently wiped the sweat from her face and gasped, "I wonder what kind of hardships we'll encounter next."

Hu Yulun looked at her and encouraged her, "Don't be afraid, as long as we stick together, there's no difficulty we can't overcome."

Aiden clenched his fist and shouted, "That's right, those evil Dark Power won't stop us!"

Merlin silently gazed at the magic wand in his hand, seemingly pondering the road ahead.

They arrived at a Gloomy Forest, and a chilling atmosphere washed over them.

"Everyone, be careful, this forest is eerie," Hu Yulun said cautiously, slowing his pace and gripping his sword tighter.

Isabella trembled slightly, following behind Hu Yulun. "It feels so eerie here, like countless eyes are watching us."

Aiden puffed out his chest. "Hmph, with me here, you don't need to be afraid!"

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew through, and the leaves rustled, sounding like the whispers of demons.

"What was that?" Aiden looked around nervously.

A giant spider descended from the tree, its maw wide open.

"Ah!" Isabella screamed in fright.

Hu Yulun reacted quickly, swinging his sword at the spider's legs. "Don't be afraid, Isabella!"

The spider lunged at Hu Yulun in a rage, and Hu Yulun dodged nimbly.

Aiden seized the opportunity and charged forward, his greatsword hacking fiercely at the spider's back.

The spider turned to attack Aiden, and he rolled to dodge the blow.

Merlin cast a spell, and a beam of light struck the spider's eyes.

The spider writhed in pain, and Hu Yulun, seeing his chance, plunged his sword into the spider's weak spot.

The spider crashed to the ground, dissolving into a pool of black water.

"Finally finished it," Hu Yulun sighed in relief.

They continued through the Gloomy Forest, carefully avoiding traps and dangerous creatures.

Leaving the forest, they arrived at the Great River, which was surging with waves.

"The river is flowing so fast, how are we going to cross?" Isabella said worriedly.

Hu Yulun looked at the river and pondered for a moment, "Let's look for something to help us cross."

After some searching, they found a dilapidated small boat.

"We can only try this boat," Aiden said.

They got on the boat, and Hu Yulun and Aiden rowed with all their might, while Merlin and Isabella cautiously observed their surroundings.

Suddenly, a huge Whirlpool appeared in front of them.

"Watch out, turn quickly!" Merlin shouted.

Hu Yulun and Aiden desperately rowed the oars, but the boat was still gradually sucked into the Whirlpool.

"Hold on tight!" Hu Yulun shouted.

The boat spun violently in the Whirlpool, at risk of capsizing at any moment.

Isabella paled with fear, "Are we going to die here?"

Hu Yulun replied loudly, "No, we will get out of here!"

Just as the boat was about to be swallowed by the Whirlpool, Merlin cast a powerful spell, and a force pushed the boat out of the Whirlpool.

"Great, we're saved!" Aiden shouted excitedly.

They finally crossed the Great River and continued towards their destination.

After a long trek, they arrived in front of an Ancient Cave.

"The second Sacred Artifact should be inside here," Hu Yulun said.

A pungent odor permeated the Ancient Cave, and the walls flickered with an eerie light.

They cautiously entered the Ancient Cave and suddenly heard a low roar.

"Be careful, something's here!" Hu Yulun shouted.

A huge Monster charged out of the darkness.

Hu Yulun and the others engaged in a desperate fight with the Monster...

The Monster was enormous, like a small mountain, with eyes blazing with fury, and sharp fangs that glinted coldly in the darkness. Hu Yulun took a deep breath, gripped his sword tightly, and charged forward first, "Come on, beast!" he roared, his face filled with determination.

The Monster swung its thick claws, kicking up a gust of wind. Hu Yulun sidestepped and slashed at the Monster's leg. The Monster, in pain, roared, shaking the Ancient Cave slightly.

Isabella was not to be outdone. She gracefully moved behind the Monster and thrust her short sword towards its back. However, the Monster reacted swiftly, flicking its tail and knocking Isabella to the ground. "Isabella!" Hu Yulun was filled with worry.

Isabella quickly got up, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth. "I'm fine, keep fighting!" There was not a hint of retreat in her eyes.

Aiden leaped high into the air, his greatsword slashing towards the Monster's head. "Die!" he roared. The Monster raised its claws, blocking Aiden's attack, and Aiden's hand was left numb.

Merlin was constantly casting magic spells from the side, beams of light shooting towards the Monster. "Hold on, everyone!" Sweat covered his forehead, and his expression was tense and focused.

The Monster was enraged by their attacks and attacked even more ferociously. Hu Yulun and the others were exhausted from dealing with the attacks, and many wounds began to appear on their bodies.

"This isn't going to work!" Hu Yulun panted, anxiety rising in his heart.

Just then, Hu Yulun spotted the Monster's weakness in its abdomen. "Attack its abdomen!" he shouted loudly.

Isabella understood and, taking advantage of the Monster's attack on Aiden, quickly charged towards its abdomen. The Monster sensed Isabella's intention and tried to stop her, but Hu Yulun and Aiden held it back.

Isabella successfully stabbed the monster in the abdomen. The monster fell to the ground in agony, struggling for a few moments before finally ceasing to move.

"Finally... we beat it," Hu Yulun slumped to the ground, gasping for air.

Aiden was also exhausted, collapsing directly onto the ground. "That was a tough battle."

Merlin walked over and began to heal their wounds. "It's a good thing we didn't give up," he said.

After a short rest, they continued their search for the second Sacred Artifact in the Ancient Cave. The smell of the monster's blood filled the cave, and the path was rough and uneven.

"Be careful, everyone, don't miss the Sacred Artifact," Hu Yulun reminded them.

They carefully searched every corner, and finally found a Sacred Artifact emitting a mysterious glow on a hidden stone platform.

"We found it!" Isabella exclaimed excitedly.

Hu Yulun carefully picked up the Sacred Artifacts, feeling the immense power within. "With this, we're one step closer to victory."

\n\nHowever, before they could celebrate for long, the Ancient Cave suddenly began to shake violently, and rocks began to fall from the ceiling.

\n\n"Damn it, the Ancient Cave is collapsing! Run!" Hu Yulun shouted.

\n\nThey desperately ran towards the entrance, with billowing dust and falling rocks behind them.

\n\nHu Yulun looked back and saw a massive stone heading towards Isabella. "Isabella, watch out!" He rushed over, pushed Isabella away, and was hit in the shoulder by the stone himself.

\n\n"Hu Yulun!" Isabella exclaimed in alarm.

\n\n"I'm fine, go!" Hu Yulun gritted his teeth, got up, and continued running.

\n\nFinally, they escaped before the Ancient Cave completely collapsed.

"That was close," Aiden said with lingering fear.

Hu Yulun looked at the Sacred Artifact in his hand. "No matter what, we got it."

They took a short break and then set off for the location of the last Sacred Artifact. Along the way, they encountered more dangers and challenges.

In the raging storm, they struggled to move forward, each step feeling like a ton.

"When will this rain stop?" Isabella complained.

Hu Yulun comforted her, "Hold on, it'll be over soon."

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the road ahead. They found a group of Wild Wolves staring at them with hostility.

"Prepare to fight!" Hu Yulun shouted.

The Wild Wolves swarmed forward, and Hu Yulun and the others fought back with all their might.

After a fierce battle, they finally drove the Wild Wolves away.

"Let's move on!" Hu Yulun wiped the rain from his face and led the group forward.

Finally, they arrived in front of a Mysterious Castle; the last of the Sacred Artifacts was within this Castle.

The Castle gates were tightly shut, and mysterious mist swirled around them.

"This is the final hurdle," Hu Yulun took a deep breath. "Everyone, get ready."

They pushed open the gates and entered the Castle...

The castle was eerily silent, only the sound of their footsteps echoing through the vast hall. Hu Yulun held his sword high, cautiously surveying their surroundings. "Be careful, everyone. It's too quiet here."

Isabella followed closely behind him, her eyes filled with tension. "I feel like something is watching us from the shadows."

Aiden swallowed hard, gripping his greatsword tightly. "Who cares? Let them come, we'll kill them all!"

Merlin's staff emitted a faint glow, illuminating their path forward.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind swept through, extinguishing the magical light from Merlin's staff.

"Damn it!" Hu Yulun's heart clenched.

A chilling laugh echoed from the darkness. "Hahaha, you've finally arrived."

Hu Yulun shouted, "Who are you? Show yourself!"

A shadow slowly emerged from the darkness. "I am the Guardian of this castle. You will not obtain the final Sacred Artifacts."

Isabella chided, "We must get the Sacred Artifacts to save the Continent!"

The Guardian sneered. "Then let's see if you have the ability!" With that, he waved his hands, and countless Specters surged from all directions.

Hu Yulun was fearless, charging into the Specter swarm, his sword dancing like the wind. "Comrades, follow me!"

Isabella was not to be outdone, her short sword darting through the Specters, each swing dispersing one.

Aiden roared loudly, his greatsword swinging with great force, repelling the approaching Specters one by one.

Merlin continuously cast magic, providing support for everyone.

However, the Specters grew in number, and they gradually fell into a predicament.

"This isn't working!" Hu Yulun was burning with anxiety.

Just then, Hu Yulun spotted a weakness in the Guardian.

"Attack the Guardian!" Hu Yulun shouted.

They focused their strength and launched an attack on the Guardian.

The Guardian hadn't expected them to find its weakness and was momentarily flustered.

Hu Yulun seized the opportunity and thrust his sword at the Guardian. The Guardian sidestepped to avoid the blow, but still had his arm grazed.

"Damn it!" The Guardian roared angrily, increasing the intensity of its attacks.

Hu Yulun and the others gritted their teeth and fought with all their might.

Isabella was starting to feel her strength fail, and she stumbled, nearly falling.

"Isabella!" Hu Yulun reacted quickly, catching her.

"I can still fight!" Isabella said stubbornly.

Aiden was also covered in wounds, but he was still incredibly brave. "I won't fall!"

Merlin's magic was about to be exhausted, but he still persevered in casting spells.

Finally, with their combined efforts, the Guardian was defeated.

"We finally won," Hu Yulun said, panting heavily.

They continued to search the castle for the last of the Sacred Artifacts.

In the depths of the castle, they discovered a mysterious room. At the center of the room sat a box radiating immense power.

"This should be the last Sacred Artifact," Hu Yulun said.

As they approached the box, a Magical Barrier suddenly appeared, blocking their path.

"What do we do?" Aiden asked.

Hu Yulun thought for a moment. "Let's combine our strength and break this barrier!"

They gathered their power and attacked the Magical Barrier.

After several attempts, cracks finally appeared on the Magical Barrier.

"Push harder!" Hu Yulun shouted.

Finally, the Magical Barrier shattered, and they obtained the last of the Sacred Artifacts.

"Great, we did it!" Isabella exclaimed excitedly.

Just as they were about to leave the castle, it began to shake violently, as if it were about to collapse.

"Run!" Hu Yulun shouted.

They desperately ran towards the outside of the castle.

At the moment the castle was about to completely collapse, they successfully escaped.

"It's finally over," Hu Yulun said, relieved, as he looked at the three Sacred Artifacts in his hands.

They went back to the place where they started, carrying the Sacred Artifacts.

There, they prepared to use the power of the Sacred Artifacts to completely eliminate the Darkness, saving the entire Continent…

They brought the Sacred Artifacts back to the place where it all began.

Sunlight shone on their tired but determined faces. Hu Yulun took a deep breath, gazing into the distance, "Comrades, the final battle is about to begin."

Isabella's eyes were filled with determination, "No matter what, we must succeed."

Aiden gripped his greatsword tightly, the muscles in his arms tensed, "Yes, let the Darkness disappear completely!"

Merlin gently stroked his staff, "We definitely can."

They began to prepare the ritual, and the people around them watched with anticipation and worry.

Hu Yulun carefully placed the Sacred Artifacts in a specific position, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, "Everyone be careful, this concerns the fate of the entire Continent."

Isabella clasped her hands together, silently praying, "I hope everything goes smoothly."

Just then, the sky suddenly darkened, and a fierce wind arose.

"Not good, the Darkness has sensed our actions!" Merlin shouted.

A group of Dark Creatures surged from all directions, clawing and snarling as they charged towards them.

"Prepare for battle!" Hu Yulun roared, taking the lead in confronting the enemy.

His sword flashed with light in the darkness, each swing carrying immense power, cleaving the Dark Creatures in front of him in two.

Isabella moved gracefully, like a dancing fairy, weaving between the enemies. Each thrust of her short sword accurately hit its target.

Aiden was like a valiant lion, and wherever his greatsword went, enemies fell. "Come on, you evil lot!"

Merlin, positioned in the rear, continuously cast powerful spells, providing support and protection to his companions.

However, the Dark Creatures were growing in number, and they gradually felt overwhelmed.

"This isn't going to work!" Hu Yulun was filled with anxiety.

Isabella gasped for breath, "We can't give up!"

Just then, the Sacred Artifacts suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

"It's the power of the Sacred Artifacts!" Merlin exclaimed in surprise.

The light enveloped Hu Yulun and the others, granting them new strength.

Hu Yulun felt the surge of powerful energy within his body, "Everyone, together, use the power of the Sacred Artifacts to eliminate them!"

They shouted in unison, and a burst of light instantly annihilated all the Dark Creatures around them.

But the Darkness wasn't finished. An even more powerful Dark Vortex appeared in the sky.

"This is the real challenge," Hu Yulun stared intently at the vortex, his eyes devoid of fear.

The four of them held hands, gathering their strength together, and charged toward the Dark Vortex.

In the fierce collision, light and darkness intertwined.

Hu Yulun gritted his teeth, "We must succeed!"

Isabella's face showed a pained expression, but she persevered.

Aiden roared loudly, unleashing all of his power.

Merlin closed his eyes tightly, focusing all his energy on controlling the magic.

Finally, the light gradually gained the upper hand, and the Dark Vortex began to dissipate.

"We did it!" Aiden shouted excitedly.

When the last trace of darkness vanished, the entire Continent was restored to light.

People cheered and swarmed towards Hu Yulun and the others.

"You are heroes!"

Hu Yulun and the others exchanged smiles, their eyes filled with the joy of victory and relief.

"This is our shared victory," Hu Yulun said.

From then on, the Continent entered a new era of peace and prosperity, and the names of Hu Yulun and the others would be forever remembered by the people.

Hu Yulun stood in the town square, looking at the happy crowd around him, a satisfied smile on his face. He gently stroked the sword in his hand, as if recalling those thrilling battles of the past.

Isabella was nearby, playing with the children. Her laughter was as clear as silver bells, and her beautiful face was even more captivating in the sunlight.

Aiden was eating heartily, while also recounting the exciting moments of their adventures to the people around him, causing them to exclaim and laugh from time to time.

Merlin sat quietly in the corner, watching all this, his heart filled with emotion.

"Hey, Merlin, what are you thinking about?" Hu Yulun walked over and patted his shoulder.

Merlin smiled slightly, "I was thinking, it hasn't been easy getting here."

Hu Yulun nodded, "But it's all worth it, isn't it?"

At that moment, a little boy ran over and tugged at Hu Yulun's clothes, "Uncle Hu Yulun, tell me the story of how you defeated the Darkness!"

Hu Yulun squatted down and patted the little boy's head, "Alright, child."

As the days passed, the lives of Hu Yulun and the others gradually settled down. However, they hadn't forgotten their mission.

One day, Hu Yulun received a letter from afar. After reading it, his expression became serious.

"What's wrong, Yulun?" Isabella asked with concern.

Hu Yulun frowned, "A remote village has been harassed by a group of Bandits, and the villagers are suffering terribly."

Aiden perked up, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go teach those Bandits a lesson!"

Isabella also agreed, "That's right, we can't let the villagers suffer."

Merlin nodded, "Let's go then."

They set off on their journey again. The scenery along the way was picturesque, but they had no heart to appreciate it.

"I wonder how strong these Bandits are this time," Isabella said with some worry.

Hu Yulun comforted her, "Don't worry, as long as we work together, nothing can defeat us."

Finally, they arrived at the village. The village was a mess, and the villagers' eyes were filled with fear and helplessness.

"Don't be afraid, we're here!" Hu Yulun shouted.

The villagers saw them and looked like they had found their saviors.

"Heroes, please help us!" an old man begged.

Hu Yulun patted the old man's hand, "Don't worry, old man."

They began to search for the Bandits' whereabouts.

"Over there!" Aiden pointed at a Mountain Stronghold in the distance.

Hu Yulun surveyed the terrain, "Let's approach quietly and catch them off guard."

They cautiously approached the Mountain Stronghold. Suddenly, a Bandit spotted them.

"Enemies!" the Bandit shouted.

Hu Yulun and the others quickly charged forward, engaging in a fierce battle with the Bandits.

Hu Yulun's sword danced like lightning, each strike brimming with power.

Isabella dodged the Bandits' attacks with agility, seizing the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

Aiden, on the other hand, relied on his immense strength, knocking the Bandits to the ground one by one.

Merlin cast spells from the rear, providing support for their companions.

After a fierce battle, the Bandits surrendered one after another.

"Never bully the villagers again!" Hu Yulun said sternly.

The Bandits nodded repeatedly and scurried away.

The villagers cheered, "Thank you, heroes!"

Hu Yulun and the others smiled as they bid farewell to the villagers, continuing their journey to protect the Continent.

In a tranquil night, Hu Yulun sat alone by the lake, gazing at the starry sky.

"What are you thinking about?" Isabella walked over and sat gently beside him.

Hu Yulun sighed, "I'm thinking about how many more challenges await us in the future."

Isabella held his hand, "No matter how many challenges there are, we'll face them together."

Hu Yulun looked at her, his eyes filled with tenderness, "Yes, as long as we're together, we have nothing to fear."

The moonlight shone on them, casting their resolute silhouettes.

Their story was still ongoing…

As time passed, the reputation of Hu Yulun and the others grew increasingly prominent across the Continent. Their heroic deeds spread to every corner, becoming a legend on everyone's lips.

One day, Hu Yulun received a mysterious invitation. The handwriting on the invitation was like a dragon dancing, exuding a mysterious aura.

"What is this?" Aiden asked curiously, leaning closer.

Hu Yulun frowned, carefully examining the invitation. "I'm not sure, but it doesn't feel simple."

Isabella blinked. "Could it be a new adventure?"

Merlin stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Perhaps an opportunity, or perhaps a trap."

Hu Yulun took a deep breath. "Regardless, let's go see."

They followed the address on the invitation and arrived at an ancient Castle. The Castle gates slowly opened, and a mysterious figure appeared before them.

"Welcome, brave warriors," the mysterious figure said.

Hu Yulun eyed him warily. "Who are you? Why did you invite us?"

The mysterious person smiled slightly, "I am the master of this Castle, and I need your help with something important."

They followed the mysterious person into the Castle, and a musty smell permeated the hall.

"What exactly is it?" Aiden couldn't help but ask.

The mysterious person sighed, "Deep within the Castle, there is an Evil Magical Artifact that is sealed. Its power is gradually awakening. If we don't stop it, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Hu Yulun and the others exchanged glances, a sense of responsibility welling up within them.

"We are willing to help," Hu Yulun said.

The mysterious person nodded, "Follow me."

They arrived at the basement of the Castle, and a powerful dark force swept over them.

"Be careful!" Merlin shouted.

Hu Yulun gripped his sword tightly, "Everyone, be careful."

A huge Monster slowly emerged from the darkness. Its body was enormous, radiating a terrifying aura.

Isabella's face was a little pale, but she stood firmly beside Hu Yulun.

Hu Yulun charged forward first, engaging the Monster in a fight. His sword left wounds on the Monster's body, but the Monster's counterattacks also forced him to retreat again and again.

"Yulun!" Isabella called out anxiously.

Aiden roared and joined the battle, his greatsword hacking fiercely at the Monster's legs.

The Monster roared angrily, waving its huge claws.

Merlin kept casting spells, trying to weaken the Monster's power.

The battle reached a stalemate, and Hu Yulun was extremely anxious.

"We have to find its weakness!" Hu Yulun shouted.

Just then, Isabella discovered the Monster's eyes were its weakness.

"Attack its eyes!" Isabella shouted.

Hu Yulun and Aiden, hearing this, focused their power and launched an attack on the Monster's eyes.

The Monster struggled in pain and finally fell to the ground.

They successfully eliminated the Monster and sealed the Evil Magical Artifact.

The mysterious man looked at them gratefully, "Thank you, you saved the Castle."

Hu Yulun and the others smiled wearily, "It's what we should do."

After leaving the Castle, they continued to travel the continent, helping those in need.

\n\n

Once, they encountered a cursed Village. The people in the Village were all seriously ill and could not be cured.

Hu Yulun inquired everywhere, searching for a way to lift the Curse.

"What should we do? We can't just watch them suffer like this," Isabella's eyes were filled with sympathy.

Merlin flipped through ancient books, "I seem to have found some clues."

\n\n

After some effort, they finally found the source of the Curse and resolved the Village's crisis.

The villagers were extremely grateful to them, and they were filled with a sense of accomplishment.

During an adventure, they encountered a lost Girl.

The Girl looked at them with tears in her eyes, "I can't find my way home."

Hu Yulun comforted her gently, "Don't worry, we'll help you."

They took the Girl and, after going through hardships, finally found her home.

The Girl's parents excitedly embraced her and thanked Hu Yulun and the others profusely.

Hu Yulun and the others left with smiles, continuing their journey.

Their story became the most beautiful legend on the continent, inspiring everyone to bravely face difficulties and pursue justice and peace.

However, the wheel of fate never stopped turning, and a new challenge once again descended.

One stormy night, Hu Yulun and the others were taking shelter in a dilapidated inn. Thunder roared outside the window, and lightning illuminated the night sky.

"This damn weather is unsettling," Aiden grumbled, leaning his greatsword against the wall.

Isabella sat by the window, gazing at the rain outside, and a bad feeling crept into her heart.

Hu Yulun was talking to the innkeeper, trying to get some useful information.

"I heard that some strange phenomena have been occurring in the forest to the south recently," the innkeeper said in a low voice.

Hu Yulun frowned. "What strange phenomena?"

The innkeeper said mysteriously, "It is said that every night, eerie cries come from the forest, and some people have seen flickering ghostly lights."

Hu Yulun's heart stirred. "That sounds unusual."

The next day, after the rain cleared, Hu Yulun and the others decided to investigate the Forest.

Entering the Forest, a damp mist hung in the air, and the trees were tall and ominous.

"Be careful, everyone," Hu Yulun cautioned.

Isabella followed closely behind him, her short sword trembling slightly.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew through, rustling the leaves.

"What was that?" Aiden cautiously looked around.

Merlin stopped, closed his eyes, and felt the surrounding magical fluctuations.

"There's an Evil Magical Artifact approaching," Merlin said.

No sooner had he spoken than a group of Shadow Creatures burst from the Forest and lunged at them.

Hu Yulun swiftly drew his sword to meet the attack, shouting, "Don't be afraid, everyone!"

His eyes were firm, and each strike of his sword carried a fierce momentum.

Isabella let out a soft cry, stabbing her short sword towards the Shadow Creatures.

Aiden swung his greatsword, repelling the approaching Shadow Creatures one by one.

After a fierce battle, the Shadow Creatures gradually dispersed.

"This is only the beginning," Hu Yulun said.

They continued deeper into the Forest, finally finding the source of the crying.

It turned out to be a Soul imprisoned by dark magic, struggling in pain.

"Help me..." the Soul emitted a faint cry for help.

Hu Yulun and the others decided to help it break free from the magical shackles.

Merlin cast a powerful spell, and light enveloped the Soul.

The Soul gradually calmed down in the light, eventually gaining freedom.

"Thank you..." the Soul said gratefully.

Just as they were preparing to leave the Forest, a huge Magic Circle appeared beneath their feet.

"It's no good, it's a Trap/Mechanisms!" Hu Yulun's expression changed drastically.

Powerful energy surged from the Magic Circle, trapping them within.

"We have to find a way to break this Magic Circle!" Isabella said anxiously.

Hu Yulun calmly observed the Magic Circle's patterns, "Everyone, focus your power and attack this node together!"

They worked together, pooling their strength.

Finally, the Magic Circle shattered, and they successfully escaped.

However, their adventure was far from over...

After breaking free from the Magic Circle, Hu Yulun and the others found themselves in an unfamiliar Valley. Steep cliffs loomed on all sides, with only a narrow passage winding ahead.

"Where am I?" Aiden looked around, bewildered, his grip tightening on the greatsword in his hand.

Hu Yulun frowned, his gaze cautiously sweeping across the surroundings. "No matter where this is, be careful."

Isabella bit her lip, a trace of worry in her eyes. "I feel like this place is full of unknown dangers."

Merlin held his staff, carefully sensing the magical fluctuations around them. "The magical aura here is chaotic. Everyone, we must not let our guard down."

They proceeded cautiously along the passage, the pebbles under their feet occasionally slipping and making a crisp sound.

"Shh..." Hu Yulun suddenly stopped and gestured for silence.

A low roar came from ahead, as if from an ancient Monster.

"Prepare for battle!" Hu Yulun said in a low voice.

The group gripped their weapons tightly, their heartbeats echoing in the silent Valley.

A huge Two-Headed Monster slowly emerged from the shadows, its body like a small mountain, each step causing the ground to tremble slightly.

"My god!" Aiden couldn't help but exclaim.

Hu Yulun took a deep breath, "Don't be afraid, we can defeat it!"

He charged forward first, his sword blade leaving a cold gleam in the air.

One head of the Monster spewed raging flames, while the other spewed icy cold air.

Hu Yulun skillfully dodged the attacks, taking the opportunity to leave wounds on the Monster's body.

Isabella, watching from the side, seized the opportunity, her short sword stabbing towards the Monster's eyes like lightning.

"Aow!" The Monster cried out in pain, thrashing its tail in fury.

Aiden raised his greatsword, hacking at the Monster's tail with all his might. "Watch this!"

Merlin continuously cast spells, providing cover and support for his teammates.

The battle grew increasingly fierce, and Hu Yulun and the others gradually sustained injuries.

This isn't going to work! Hu Yulun thought anxiously.

Just then, he noticed a weak point on the Monster's belly.

"Attack its belly!" Hu Yulun shouted.

Hearing this, everyone immediately launched attacks towards the Monster's belly.

After a fierce struggle, the Monster finally fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Finally done," Hu Yulun slumped to the ground, exhausted.

Isabella also gasped for breath, "That was close."

Aiden wiped the sweat from his face, "But we won!"
