Chapter 769 Split up
After the meal, everyone sat around the campfire. Leah gently stroked the guqin. The melodious melody drifted in the wind, interweaving with the chirping of insects and birds around to form a harmonious movement.

"Sister Leah, your piano playing is so beautiful." The little girl snuggled up to Qimeng, with twinkling eyes.

"Music is another form of communication. It transcends race and touches the deepest heartstrings." Leah responded gently.

As the night deepened, the topic slowly turned relaxed. Everyone shared interesting stories and insights from the journey, and laughter and warmth filled the air.

"Tomorrow, we will embark on a new journey." Su Ye looked at the burning flames, his eyes flashing with determination, "But tonight, let us immerse ourselves in this tranquility and beauty."

"Indeed," Qi Meng agreed, "Every stop is for a better start."

The little girl hugged her knees tightly, her eyes sparkling with longing for tomorrow: "I hope that every day in the future will be like today, I will discover new things, learn a lot, and have friends like Sister Leah."

Casar clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention: "Come to think of it, we haven't formally thanked Ms. Leah for her hospitality and teaching tonight. Why don't we do something for Ms. Leah as a thank you."

The little girl clapped her hands and agreed, "What a good idea! But what can we do?"

Su Ye pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "I remember you said that every flower here has its own song. Perhaps, we can hold a small concert for Ms. Leah, and interpret and respond to these flower languages ​​in our own way."

This proposal was immediately unanimously agreed to. Everyone went their separate ways. Some collected various natural materials that could make sounds, such as hollow bamboo and smooth stones. Qi Meng also found a few leaves that could make crisp sounds. Su Ye and Kasar worked together to build a simple stage, using the surrounding trees and vines to create a natural and solemn performance venue.

The little girl quietly pulled Leah aside and said mysteriously, "Sister Leah, we have a surprise for you, so please close your eyes for a while."

Leah agreed with a smile, closed her eyes, and felt a sense of warmth and anticipation in her heart.

The night deepened, the sky was clear and the breeze was blowing. When Leah opened her eyes again, she was stunned by the scene in front of her: a small stage dotted with moonlight and fluorescent plants, and her teammates stood on the stage, each holding a strange musical instrument in their hands. Although it was simple, it showed infinite creativity and care.

The music flowed slowly, first Su Ye played the bamboo tube, the sound was distant and mysterious, like an ancient call from the depths of the forest; then, Casar struck the stones, the rhythm was clear and powerful, like the heartbeat of the earth; Qi Meng brushed those special leaves, and they made crisp and pleasant sounds, like the song of a mountain stream.

Finally, the little girl picked up a seemingly ordinary branch, but when she shook it gently, the leaves on the branch made a strange harmony, which was a gentle soothing sound, like a whisper in the night breeze.

This impromptu concert was simple but extremely moving. It was not only a response to the language of flowers, but also a gratitude to Leah for her selfless sharing and teaching. At the end of the song, applause and laughter echoed in the Valley of Flowers.

With tears in her eyes, Leah whispered, "This is the most beautiful music I have ever heard, because it comes from the bottom of your heart, pure and sincere. Thank you, this gift is more precious than any treasure in the world."

Just as the warm atmosphere of the concert had not yet completely dissipated, the tranquility of the night was torn apart by a sudden scream. The little girl was panicking in the moonlight, and an unknown creature shaped like a shadow swept her into the night at lightning speed and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Little girl!" Su Ye shouted, and rushed out like an arrow, but was pulled back by an invisible force and fell to the ground. He looked back angrily and found that a twisted space crack was gradually closing. That was the escape route of the kidnapper.

Kasar quickly helped Su Ye up, frowning: "What was that? It was too fast, it's simply beyond the reach of ordinary things."

Qi Meng's face turned pale, and her clenched fists trembled slightly: "We can't let her make any mistakes. We must act now."

After recovering from her initial shock, Leah said in a deep voice, "That creature is very powerful, and it's hard for us to track it alone. But I can try to use the guidance of the flower language to find the little girl's location."

Under Leah's guidance, they gathered at a round altar surrounded by special flowers. Those flowers emitted a faint silver glow under the moonlight, as if they could penetrate the mist of the night. Leah closed her eyes and meditated, chanting ancient spells. Soon, her eyes suddenly opened, emitting a determined light.

"To the northeast, there is a forgotten shadow land. The little girl is there. However, the journey is difficult, full of unknowns and dangers."

Su Ye looked at everyone firmly: "No matter what is waiting for us ahead, we will not retreat. Qi Meng, Casar, get ready to go!"

The team hurriedly prepared themselves under the moonlight, carrying the special petals given by Leah, which were said to protect them from the erosion of the shadows at critical moments. Their hearts were filled with anxiety and uneasiness, but more of it was a firm belief in the safe return of the little girl.

After passing through dense forests and crossing dangerous peaks, they finally arrived at the valley shrouded in darkness - the Land of Shadows. There was no sunlight here, and the only light source was those floating blue phosphorescent lights. The air was filled with a smell of depression and decay.

"Be careful, everything here is unusual." Casar drew his sword and looked around vigilantly.

Suddenly, a sneer echoed in the cold air, and a distorted black shadow slowly walked out of the darkness. It was the creature that kidnapped the little girl. "Foolish traveler, coming here is to seek death."

Su Ye glared at it, his voice calm and firm: "Release the little girl, otherwise you will face our full force attack."

The black shadow sneered disdainfully: "Just you? In my eyes, you are nothing but tiny insects. However, since you are here, be prepared to stay here forever."

The battle was about to start. Casar swung his sword at the shadow, but only hit a mass of nothingness. The entity of the creature seemed to be able to shuttle between the shadows at will. And its counterattack was as fast as lightning. Su Ye activated a layer of light shield in time to block the fatal blow.

"We have to find a way to fix it in one place!" Qi Meng reminded loudly while dodging the attacks.

"I have an idea." Leah's voice rang in their hearts. She established a brief connection with them through the language of flowers. "Concentrate on attacking and attracting it to use its abilities. I will try to restrict its movement with the flower chain." The plan was immediately executed. Su Ye and Kasar cooperated tacitly, one attacking and one defending, constantly oppressing the shadow's activity space. When it tried to shuttle through the shadows to escape the attack again, Leah's flower chain suddenly sprang out from the ground, accurately entangled the shadow's limbs, and made it unable to move.

"Qi Meng, hurry up!" Su Ye shouted.

Qi Meng jumped in front of the shadow without hesitation, gathered gentle but powerful healing energy in her hands, and poured it directly into the little girl's body. The little girl's painful expression gradually eased, and her wounds began to heal.

Feeling bound, the black shadow let out a deafening roar and struggled with incredible force, but the flower chains became tougher under Leah's control until it was completely unable to resist.

The battle was over, and the little girl was rescued. She lay weakly in Qi Meng's arms, opened her eyes, and said weakly: "Thank you, I...I thought I would never see you again."

Su Ye gently stroked her head: "We are partners and will never abandon anyone."

Casar looked at the gradually fading shadow, thinking: "The secret behind this is probably far more complicated than we imagined."

"No matter what, we will move on and expose it all." Qi Meng said firmly.

Leah smiled softly and said, "Remember, after darkness, there will always be light. Your journey is destined to be extraordinary."

As Leah finished her words, the air around them suddenly fluctuated, as if something was approaching. The residents of Flower Valley, a group of curious elves and small animals, quietly gathered around, their eyes full of awe and expectation, whispering to the protagonist team.

A clever little fox jumped onto a raised stone and said to Su Ye and the others, "Great warriors, your courage and wisdom have spread throughout the Flower Valley. Even we are shocked. How did you fight against the Shadow Demon? It's incredible!"

Su Ye smiled and patted the little fox's head gently: "Courage and wisdom are indispensable on the journey, but more important is the trust between each other and the heart of not giving up."

An old tree demon slowly moved his body. His voice was old and profound: "Young people, I have lived in this valley for hundreds of years, and I have never seen travelers as tenacious as you. The power you have demonstrated reminds me of the ancient prophecy..."

"Prophecy?" Qi Meng's eyes lit up and she asked quickly, "Please tell us, what does the prophecy say? Maybe it can point us in the right direction."

The tree demon shook his head slowly, and gently touched his chest with his fingertips like dead branches: "I'm sorry, I can only sense its outline, and the specific details are blurred. But I know that the traveler mentioned in the prophecy will overcome many difficulties, uncover the truth of the world, and lead all living things to light."

The little girl suddenly held Qimeng's hand and said seriously: "I believe we are the traveler in the prophecy. As long as we are together, nothing is impossible!"

Casar nodded, his eyes firm: "No matter what the future holds, we will face it together. Now, we should make sure the little girl fully recovers, and then set off again."

Leah smiled and handed them a small bottle filled with a liquid that shone with a strange luster. "This is a recovery potion I made specially. It will be of great benefit to the little girl's recovery. At the same time, it will also add a layer of protection to your journey."

"Thank you, Sister Leah, your help is crucial to us." The little girl said gratefully, with tears in her eyes.

Just as the team was about to leave and continue their adventure, a hurried messenger broke the tranquility of the upcoming farewell. He ran to Su Ye breathlessly and handed over a wax-sealed letter: "Dear traveler, this is a letter from a mysterious person that I passed on to you. It is said to be a key clue to your journey."

Su Ye took the letter, opened the wax seal, and saw lines of strong and powerful words, which revealed urgency and mystery:
"The true test is about to begin. Only by understanding the past can we embrace the future. The lost city on the east coast hides the key to connecting light and darkness. Remember, time is running out, and the world is waiting for your answer."

After reading the letter, Su Ye looked up at his companions. There was a spark of adventure in everyone's eyes: "It seems that our path has been made clear. The lost city on the east coast may be the key to solving all the mysteries."

"So, what are we waiting for?" Qi Meng stood up, her eyes full of fighting spirit, "Let's go to the Lost City!"

The little girl also pulled herself together and followed closely: "I'm ready. No matter what happens, we have to face it together!"

Casar chuckled and patted the sword at his waist: "That's right, nothing can stop us."

The group set out on a journey again, this time not only to rescue a girl, but also to reveal the truth of the world and protect the peace of this continent. The creatures of the Flower Valley watched them go away, their hearts filled with blessings and expectations.

As their backs disappeared over the horizon, a conversation drifted away in the night wind, leaving endless suspense:
"Will they succeed? Can the mystery of the lost city really be solved so easily?" a deer asked the squirrel beside him.

Xiaolu's question seemed to blend into the darkening night, with no one to answer, only the whisper of the wind, as if telling of the uncertainty of the road ahead. However, in this endless unknown, an unshakable belief quietly took root in the hearts of the protagonist team.

A few days later, the group crossed the winding mountain road. The scenery along the way changed from lush forests to desolate deserts, and then to rugged hilly areas. Every step was full of hardships. On the map in Leah's hand, the route to the lost city was marked with exquisite flower language, but the place where it was was covered by a layer of fog, revealing the mystery and unpredictability of the destination.

"Everyone be careful, we are about to enter a forgotten battlefield." Su Ye looked around vigilantly, holding his weapon tightly in his hand. Legend has it that this area was once a battlefield of ancient wars, and the remaining resentment and magic made this place a dangerous place.

Before he finished speaking, a sharp sound of breaking through the air broke the silence, and several sharp bone spurs attacked them from different directions like messengers of death. Su Ye reacted quickly, rotating his body flexibly and releasing a layer of shield at the same time, rebounding the bone spurs one by one.
