Hu Shu looked at the damaged warehouse and secretly thought about countermeasures. In the mountain forest, Yang Jian and Nezha were exhausted, but their eyes were still firm. They knew that if they could not escape, Faced with the predicament in front of them, all their previous efforts would be wasted. So, the two gritted their teeth, unleashed their final strength, and launched another round of fierce attacks towards the encirclement of Mysterious Faction. Their figures looked so small in the light of swords, yet so determined.
At this time, inside ZhaoGe City, Hu Shu took a deep breath, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, and instantly turned on Invincible Domain. In an instant, an invisible and majestic force spread out around him with him as the center, and the entire ZhaoGe City shook slightly. Trembling. Wherever the domain reaches, time seems to freeze and space seems to be distorted. The crowds who were running around in panic due to the fire in the warehouse were instantly frozen in place, and the frightened expressions on their faces were like frozen scenes. The raging flames were also suppressed by this force and extinguished in an instant, leaving only curls of green smoke and a pungent burnt smell filling the air.
Hu Shu's figure flashed and appeared high in the center of the city. His voice resounded throughout the city like a bell. "Don't panic, everyone! As long as I am here, all crises will be resolved!" His voice was firm and powerful, like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart, and the panicked crowd gradually calmed down.
Di Xin looked at the powerful power displayed by Hu Shu, and felt a surge of admiration and reassurance in his heart. He quickly rectified the soldiers and loudly ordered, "Follow me out of the city and repel the attackers outside the city!" The soldiers responded in unison, with high morale. Di Xin, holding Long Sword, took the lead, leading the soldiers to rush outside the city like tigers. Attack outside the city The attackers were originally preparing to pursue the victory, but they did not expect Di Xin and others to suddenly attack. The two sides were in close combat, with shouts of killing and the sound of weapons clashing intertwined. Di Xin's swordsmanship was fierce, and each sword carried an indomitable momentum. Wherever it went, the enemies retreated one after another. Under the leadership of Di Xin, the soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemies and gradually drove back the attackers outside the city.
In the mountains and forests, Yang Jian and Nezha were surrounded without any fear. Yang Jian danced with Three-pointed, Double-edged Halberd in the hands of Yang Jian, and the enemies fell down one after another as the sword flashed. Nezha stepped on Wind Fire Wheels and shuttled through the enemy formation like a ball of fire. Every time Fire-Tipped Spear thrust out, it was accompanied by the enemy's screams. The two cooperated tacitly, covering each other, and gradually found the weak spot in the enemy's encirclement.
Yang Jian saw the opportunity and shouted, "Nezha, come with me!" After that, he concentrated all his magic power on Three-pointed, Double-edged Halberd, and a dazzling light burst out from the blade, splitting the enemy apart like a bolt of lightning. The human defense line. Nezha followed closely, stabbing Fire-Tipped Spear in his hands repeatedly to eliminate the threats around Yang Jian. Like two sharp blades, the two of them cut their way out of the encirclement and successfully escaped the ambush.
After getting rid of the ambush, Yang Jian and Nezha did not relax their vigilance. They carefully observed the surrounding environment, trying to find clues left by Mysterious Faction. Suddenly, Nezha discovered some strange things on the ground. The strange footprints had a strange shape and did not look like they were left by ordinary people. Yang Jian squatted down and looked carefully and said, "This should be left by people from Mysterious Faction. They seemed to be heading in this direction." The two of them chased in the direction of the footprints.
After chasing for a while, they came to a secret cave. The cave was surrounded by dense vines and weeds, and it was difficult to find it without careful observation. There was a faint smell of dampness in the cave, mixed with a faint smell of herbs. Yang Jian and Nezha looked at each other and walked into the cave cautiously.
The light in the cave was dim, with only a few rays of sunlight shining through the gaps in the cave roof, forming bright pillars of light, with dust flying in the pillars. They walked slowly along the cave, and suddenly, a voice came from the depths of the cave. "Why did you two break into my territory?" The voice was old but full of majesty.
Yang Jian and Nezha took a closer look and saw a white-haired old man sitting on a stone bench in the cave. He was wearing a gray robe, with a thin face but bright eyes..Yang Jian took a step forward and said respectfully, "Senior, we are tracing the clues of Mysterious Faction and found that their traces point to this place. I wonder if you, senior, know anything?"
The old man looked them up and down and said slowly, "Mysterious Faction... I do know a thing or two. The runes they left behind are related to a kind of Ancient Formation. If you want to decipher the runes and uncover the secrets, you need to find an ancient Spirit Pearl named 'Spirit Essence Pearl'. This bead has magical power and can resonate with the runes."
Yang Jian and Nezha were overjoyed and asked quickly, "Senior, where is this 'Spirit Essence Pearl'?" The old man smiled slightly and said, "I can tell you the whereabouts of Spirit Essence Pearl, but you need to complete one thing for me."
At this time, calm had returned to ZhaoGe City. Under the organization of the soldiers, the people began to clean up the ruins after the fire. Hu Shu and Di Xin stood on the tower, looking at the busy scene, and felt a little relieved. Di Xin said, "Master, although this crisis has been temporarily resolved, Mysterious Faction will definitely not give up, we need to strengthen City Defense as soon as possible." Hu Shu nodded and said, "Yes, the defense materials are damaged, we have to find a way to raise them again. At the same time, we must also wait for news from Yang Jian and Nezha, hoping that they can find clues to the runes."
In the secret cave, Yang Jian and Nezha looked at the old man, waiting for him to tell him the content of the mission. The cave was so quiet that they could only hear each other's breathing, and the atmosphere was slightly solemn. The old man stood up slowly and looked outside the cave, seeming to be lost in memories. After a long time, he slowly said, "Here Deep in Primordial World, there is a mysterious place called Myriad Monster Valley. Countless monsters live in the valley, which is extremely dangerous. There is a Thousand Year Spirit Tree in the valley, and there is a Spirit Fruit on the tree. I need you to pick this Spirit Fruit for me."
Yang Jian and Nezha looked at each other and said without hesitation, "Senior, don't worry, I will definitely fulfill my mission!" The old man nodded happily and said, "We are going to Myriad Monster Valley. There are many dangers. You must be careful. This Spirit Fruit is very important to me. If I can successfully pick it off, I will tell you the whereabouts of Spirit Essence Pearl."
Yang Jian and Nezha bid farewell to the old man and left the cave. They knew that the next task was full of challenges, but in order to unlock the secret of Mysterious Faction and help Human Race survive the crisis, they had no intention of backing down.
Returning to Chaoge, Yang Jian and Nezha told Hu Shu and Di Xin about their experiences in the cave. After listening, Hu Shu thought for a moment and said, "It is indeed dangerous to go to Myriad Monster Valley, but this is also what we gain. The key to the rune clues. You two must be more careful when you go here. Di Xin and I will continue to improve Chaoge's defense and Invincible Domain's layout." Di Xin also said, "Two junior brothers, go ahead with confidence, Chaoge has master and me here, there will be no problem."
So, Yang Jian and Nezha made some preparations and embarked on the journey to Myriad Monster Valley. Their figures gradually disappeared into the distance, and inside ZhaoGe City, Hu Shu and Di Xin also began intense preparations.
The crisis was temporarily resolved, and another rune clue was obtained. However, to obtain complete clues, one needs to complete the old man's task. What will this task be? What difficulties will they encounter in completing the task? Everything is full of unknowns, waiting for them to explore.
