Alliance: A Great Compassion Mantra, I make the whole network autistic

After being thrown onto the deserted island, Wen Wan did not lose hope as expected, but instead remained very calm. "Since it is a psychological test, there must be a solution." She collected available materials and began to make a simple raft, and kept an eye on the dynamics of the sea to try to find a way to leave here.

While she was busy, the huge sea monster that emerged from the water with a foul smell finally couldn't bear it anymore and launched an attack. But unexpectedly, at the moment before the most dangerous moment, a voice gently said: "Believe in yourself."

So she reacted quickly - she used the small stones piled up around her to smash the target's eyes to make him temporarily disoriented, then jumped onto the drifting wood and rode the wind and waves to escape the scene!

The hunter found himself in the ruins of a devastated city, and behind him were those who had died because of him standing up again. But he did not run away or show fear, but stared at these "ghosts" quietly and said: "I'm sorry... I know I can't make up for my mistakes, but I never regret what I did." After hearing this, the aggressive footsteps that were originally approaching slowly stopped. "Now that you are here, why not let us end it." After saying this, he drew out the short blade he carried with him and took the initiative to face the enemy...

After everyone had experienced different challenges of their inner demons and overcome them one by one, they regained consciousness and returned to the spacious and bright hall inside the palace.

Xingyu said with relief: "It seems that everyone has passed the test successfully."

"What's next?" Chen Feng asked, with an expression of nervousness and excitement on his face.

"The real journey is about to begin." The guardian spirit smiled mysteriously, "Please be prepared for more unexpected things to happen..."

Everyone looked at each other, as if they had established some kind of invisible connection and trust between them. No matter how difficult the task ahead was, they would walk side by side until the end!
As the door slowly opened, the world waiting for them to explore outside gradually appeared before everyone's eyes——

"Let's go!" Chen Feng shouted and led everyone to take the first step towards the unknown...

At this moment, everyone's heart is full of infinite longing and fighting spirit. No one knows what kind of difficult challenges will be waiting for them in the future. But as long as the team works closely together, there is no problem that cannot be overcome!

And when the last ray of sunlight disappears in the sky——

"Tomorrow, we will embark on a new journey." Feng Xiezi said softly.

As the world outside the door gradually unfolded before everyone's eyes, everyone felt unprecedented shock and curiosity. In front of them was a vast expanse of land, with rolling mountains in the distance, and the sunset in the sky was as gorgeous as a brocade.

"Wow, this scenery... is just like a dream!" Chen Feng exclaimed in admiration, his eyes shining.

Su Ye smiled slightly, "Yeah, but I think we have more important things to do."

Xingyu nodded and said, "Yes, you have passed the test of your inner demons and proved that your hearts are strong enough. But the road ahead will not be easier because of this."

The hunter looked around. "No matter what, we are ready to face all difficulties."

At this moment, strange noises came from afar, as if some creature was approaching. "Everyone be careful," Wen Wan reminded softly, while holding tightly the simple self-defense weapon at hand - a sturdy wooden stick with sharpened ends.

Soon, as night was about to fall, several blurry figures slowly walked out of the woods. "What kind of monster is that?" Xuelian asked nervously, staring at the creature that was getting closer and closer.

However, when the group of unidentified creatures walked completely into the light, they were discovered to be a group of humans with shabby clothes but friendly faces, each holding a simple torch in their hands.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a full beard and a slightly haggard look, but his eyes were very determined. "Hello, brave travelers." He spoke in a gentle but somewhat majestic voice. "I am Kasas, one of the chiefs of the guardians of this forest. Welcome to the 'Eternal Forest'."

Everyone relaxed their guard a little, but still remained alert. "Thank you for your warm welcome, but may I ask why there is such a strange phenomenon? Why are we here?" Feng Xiezi asked.

"Oh, that..." Casas smiled bitterly. "This continent hides many secrets that ordinary humans cannot understand. And everything you have experienced is part of some ancient trial. As for the deeper reasons... I am afraid I need to meet my boss to explain it clearly."

Hearing this, the hunter's heart trembled: Since it is a trial, it means that all the dangers experienced before may not be empty dreams!
Just as everyone was silent and thinking about the meaning of this sentence, suddenly a low and rhythmic sound of footsteps sounded - as if someone was approaching this place quickly...

Sure enough, the next moment, another burly man wearing heavy armor came over at a great speed. "Kasas! Why are you here just now?" He asked the forest guardian who had just appeared not long ago.

Kasas hurried forward to salute and replied: "Hello, Lord Aton, please forgive me for not completing the task in time."

The guy called "Aton" was obviously of a high status, and he just nodded slightly to show that he understood. "Let's not worry about that for now... these outsiders should be the target we are looking for, right? Follow me quickly."

So before anyone could react, the situation had already changed to being led into the depths of the forest by this mysterious strong man...

Walking on the winding path among the dense thorny vines, Chen Feng couldn't help but ask the seemingly approachable Casas beside him: "Excuse me, where are you planning to take us?"

The latter hesitated for a moment and finally answered: "In fact, according to the plan, you should be sent to the meeting hall in the Central Holy City to be received by the Supreme Elders. However, due to the fact that abnormal signals have been fed back to the tribe from the border in recent days, indicating signs of intruder activities, we have no choice but to choose a more secretive and safer route."

Hearing this, Feng Xiezi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Haha, it sounds quite interesting~ I hope we don't encounter anything more difficult to deal with than the inner demon."

At this time, Yaton glanced back at the group of young people and said coldly: "Don't worry, as long as you follow me obediently, everything will be fine; unless you really encounter a powerful enemy that even I can't fight against!"

After that, he ignored the others and continued to focus on leading the team forward. As the night gradually deepened, in the silence and darkness with only the occasional sound of insects as an embellishment, Su Ye whispered to comfort Wen Wan, who was a little frightened and in a bad state, and looked like she would tremble or even scream at any time to cause more trouble around her: "It's okay, I believe that my companions will definitely overcome these fears and overcome all challenges."

Wen Wan forced a smile and nodded, trying to make herself look stronger and braver; however, she knew very well that the fear and worry in her heart could not be easily eliminated by a few simple words of comfort...

After a long journey, until the moon was high in the night sky, the group finally arrived at a small open grassland where their destination was.

Just as everyone was preparing to take a short break here, a dark figure appeared silently in front of them. This sudden intruder made everyone stop what they were doing involuntarily, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The old man was short, hunched over, with wrinkles all over his face that seemed to depict the vicissitudes of life through the spring, summer, autumn and winter. His eyes, sparkling with mysterious light, seemed to be able to see through the most hidden secrets in the depths of people's hearts.

"Oh ha ha ha ~ I didn't expect to meet you interesting little guys so soon." The old man let out a series of chilling laughs, with some puzzling emotions mixed in his voice.

Chen Feng stood up alertly and stood in front of his companions. "Excuse me, who are you?"

"Oh my..." The old man waved his skinny hands, "Don't worry, don't worry. My name is 'Black Obsidian', and I'm a very famous person in this area!"

Casas's face changed visibly when he heard the name: "You...you mean the old senior who is said to possess countless strange knowledge and powers?!"

Hei Yao grinned, revealing a few uneven yellow teeth: "Haha, not bad, not bad! Now that you know my reputation, it will be easier to do things."

"I wonder if you have any advice for me, old man, since you suddenly appear here?" Feng Xiezi asked politely but cautiously.

Hei Yao looked around mysteriously at the young people who had gathered around him, then slowly spoke: "Actually... I came all the way here just to bring you a great opportunity~"

Xuelian asked curiously, "Opportunity? What kind of opportunity?"

Obsidian narrowed his eyes slightly: "The Valley of the Dead - a place full of terror and opportunities! Only the brave and wise can gain extraordinary power and knowledge there."

Upon hearing the name, everyone present was shocked: it is said that the Valley of the Dead is located on the edge of the far west and is covered by thick black fog all year round; it is also rumored that there are tens of thousands of evil spirits and undead creatures living there!
Chen Feng frowned: "Is there really the opportunity you mentioned? Why did you choose us to try such a dangerous thing?"

“Oh, ha ha ha…” The old man laughed once again, chilling one’s heart. “As the saying goes, how can a person without desires and ambitions know how to pursue the path of ultimate strength? Moreover, I see that none of you are ordinary people. You have proven your courage and perseverance before. Therefore, I have come here specially to give you this opportunity.”

Su Ye looked at Hei Yao firmly: "If it is really as precious as you said, then we naturally have no reason to refuse. But before that, I hope to get more relevant information so that we can make adequate preparations."

Yaton snorted coldly after hearing this: "Stop talking nonsense and just agree or not. Why waste time!"

Faced with such an aggressive attitude, the hunter responded: "We haven't agreed yet, right? Don't worry, we need to make things clear before we discuss the terms."

At this time, Hei Yao raised his right hand and waved it gently a few times, and then the whole space seemed to be enveloped by some strange energy...

"Okay, okay...since I'm in a good mood, it's okay to tell you some precautions!" Obsidian finally stopped keeping the secret and got straight to the point. "First of all, after entering the Valley of the Dead, you must follow the guide closely; otherwise, it's easy to get lost or even be discovered by the dangerous creatures in there and encounter unexpected events. In addition, there are safe houses every few steps for temporary rest and recovery, so please remember the location and don't change the path at will! The last and most important point is that you must never act alone; otherwise, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."

After hearing this, everyone exchanged meaningful looks. Although it does sound difficult, perhaps it is such a challenging opportunity that can stimulate potential and achieve extraordinary results!
Xingyu said seriously: "Since it is a test and an opportunity at the same time, we should accept the challenge. I believe that as long as the team works closely and is careful and cautious, we will definitely gain something."

Wen Wan nodded in agreement. Although she was still afraid, she was unwilling to give up this rare growth experience; she believed that her companions could overcome the difficulties together and become stronger.

"Very good, very good. You little guys are very smart. Now I will start to cast a spell to take you to that place." Obsidian nodded with satisfaction and then recited a complicated spell. As he flicked his fingers lightly, the air vibrated slightly...

The next moment, the scene before my eyes suddenly changed drastically——

When everyone opened their eyes again, they saw only a desolate and dead silence all around them. They were stepping on cold and hard ground instead of the warm grass they had been walking on before. In the distance, they could faintly hear mournful cries resounding through the night sky, as if they were going to tear the darkness apart completely...

"Wow, this... is this the so-called 'Valley of the Dead'?" Chen Feng was amazed, but couldn't help but feel a little creepy.
Hei Yao smiled and replied, "That's right! Cherish this opportunity and seize every chance - remember: there is often only a fine line between life and death~"

Yaton looked around, frowning, "The atmosphere in this place...is really not good. Everyone stay alert."

Su Ye bent down and began to feel around carefully on the ground. Suddenly her eyes lit up: "Wait, what is this?"

Su Ye was holding a black stone covered with strange runes. When everyone gathered around to see what was going on, a strong attraction suddenly hit them. Everyone seemed to be bound by an invisible force and their bodies were involuntarily sucked into the strange stone.

"Let go! It's dangerous!" Feng Xiezi warned loudly, but it was too late. (End of this chapter)
