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

The village chief took the map and looked at it carefully. After a while, he nodded and said, "This map is very old, but I recognize this place. This place is on the hill behind the village. There is an abandoned ancient temple."

Casas interrupted, "Is that place dangerous?"

The village chief smiled bitterly and said, "It is said that there was a great war there and countless warriors died there. But after so many years, no one dares to go near there anymore."

Xuelian tightened the sword in her hand and said, "Then let's go find out."

Led by the village chief, they came to the site of the ancient temple. The temple was in ruins, and the air around it seemed to be filled with an ominous atmosphere. Several broken pillars fell to the ground, and weeds grew everywhere, making it look particularly desolate.

Chen Feng looked around vigilantly: "There are signs of destruction here. It seems that a war did take place."

Yaton waved his hand to signal everyone to disperse and search: "Separate yourselves and make sure to keep in touch."

They searched carefully in the ruins, and suddenly, Su Ye shouted: "There is an entrance to the basement here!"

Everyone came over after hearing the noise, and indeed saw a secret passage leading to the underground space hidden under a wall. Yaton led everyone into the basement without hesitation and walked along the dark tunnel.

After passing through a winding and narrow corridor, they came to a spacious stone room. There were several stone tables in the stone room, and various ancient documents and maps were scattered on the tables. In the center of the room was a huge rune stone altar, emitting a mysterious light.

Xingyu exclaimed in surprise: "These are all research materials on rune stones! It's incredible!"

Elio picked up one of the documents and flipped through it, frowning. "These records show that the power of the rune stones is beyond our imagination. But they also hide great dangers."

At this moment, a low roar was heard, followed by footsteps. Casas immediately became alert and whispered, "The enemy is coming, get ready for battle!"

Sure enough, a group of black-clad warriors rushed into the stone chamber, holding swords and looking aggressive. The leader was a tall man in black, with cold eyes and a sneer on his face.

Yaton drew his sword and roared, "We won't let you succeed so easily!"

A fierce battle broke out, with swords clashing and blood splattering on the spot. Su Ye relied on Yaton and used his injured arm to cast magic to help the team resist the enemy. Xingyu and Chenfeng quickly outflanked the opponent's flank and dealt a fatal blow. Kasas and Xuelian fought head-on with fierce moves.

Finally, the men in black fell one by one in front of them. The leading man in black fell to his knees with serious injuries, gasping for breath and asked: "Why are you still struggling? Flying Thunder God's goal must be achieved!"

Yaton said coldly: "As long as the righteous people unite as one, the evil conspiracy will never succeed!"

The man in black laughed desperately: "You are so naive... The real enemy is much stronger than you think..."

Yaton looked down at the dying man in black and said coldly: "We will expose all conspiracies, no matter how powerful!"

The man in black finally took his last breath, with resentment and fear still lingering in his eyes.

While cleaning up the battlefield, everyone continued to look through the documents. Xingyu suddenly shouted excitedly: "Found it! These documents record in detail the location of 'Shadow' and the core secrets of Flying Thunder God!"

Yaton took the document from Xingyu and quickly scanned it: "I see, we must head there immediately!"

Chen Feng nodded in agreement: "This time we must completely solve all the problems."

They packed their bags and set out on their journey again. At this time, the night was deep, the stars were shining, and the moonlight was like silver covering the earth. Su Ye leaned on Yaton's shoulder and whispered, "No matter what, we must move forward bravely."

Yaton nodded firmly and held her hand tightly: "No matter how difficult the future is, as long as you are here, we can overcome all difficulties."

Just as they were about to leave the stone chamber, an ominous tremor shook the entire basement. Dust and debris fell from the ceiling, and everyone hurriedly sought cover.

"What happened?" Casas asked nervously.

Elio frowned and said in a deep voice: "This vibration came too suddenly. It doesn't seem to be a natural phenomenon."

Suddenly, a piercing roar echoed outside the stone chamber, and then a huge black monster broke in. It had sharp claws and fangs, its body was covered with hard scales, and its eyes flashed with fanatical red light.

"Be careful!" Yaton shouted, waving his sword and rushing towards the monster. But the monster's speed and strength were far beyond their imagination. It swung its tail violently, throwing Yaton out and hitting the wall.

Yaton coughed up a mouthful of blood and stood up with difficulty, blood gushing out from the wound. "Run away! We are no match for this place." He said painfully.

Su Ye immediately cast a spell to form a protective shield that enveloped everyone. "We must stabilize our position first!" she said firmly.

Xingyu and Chenfeng quickly took out their bows and daggers and tried to attack the monster, but it dodged them flexibly. Kasas and Xuelian worked together to deal with it, barely delaying time.

At this moment, a figure flashed out of the darkness, holding a slender sword that shone with a faint blue light, shining on the monster like moonlight. This mysterious woman moved lightly, and every movement was full of beauty and power, making people dazzled.

She was agile and with a few swings of her sword, she put the monster in trouble. The monster roared and fought back, but she cleverly resolved it.

Seeing this, Yaton was surprised and asked: "Who are you? Why are you helping us?"

The woman smiled slightly, her voice soft and somewhat charming: "I am the guardian here, responsible for clearing out intruders. As for you... you don't look like an enemy."

After saying that, she ended the battle with a few quick moves. The monster finally fell to the ground and turned into a pool of black mist before disappearing.

"Thank you...thank you." Yaton said weakly, covering his wound.

The woman came over and looked at Atton with concern: "Your injury is serious, let me bandage you." She took out some special herbs and gauze from her arms and skillfully treated Atton's wound.

Xingyu couldn't help but ask curiously: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The mysterious woman chuckled and said, "My name is Elena, and this forest is my territory. I have long sensed that there is a dark force wandering here, but I didn't expect it to be such a powerful monster. Fortunately, I arrived in time."

"So do you know the secret of these rune stones?" Elio asked eagerly. Elena nodded and said, "I do know something. These rune stones contain ancient magic that could cause disaster if they fall into the wrong hands. But I can help you find more information and point you in the right direction."

"Thank you very much." Although Aton was weak, he was in high spirits. "What should we do now?"

Elena looked at everyone's determined eyes and nodded: "Let's go back to the village first. I have some important information to tell you, and then we can set off together to the next target."

The group followed Elena back to the village. Seeing this, the village chief quickly arranged a temporary residence for everyone to rest. Elena waited patiently on the side, as if she had infinite patience.

"Are you sure we can trust her?" Morning Breeze whispered to Atton.

Yaton smiled bitterly: "It seems that we have no choice now, we can only rely on her."

Elena seemed to have heard what they said, turned around and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions, our goal is the same - to stop the dark forces."

As night fell, the stars were shining brightly, and the air was filled with a faint scent of grass and wood. Yaton leaned on the bed, closed his eyes and rested. Su Ye held his hand and whispered in his ear: "No matter what happens, I will be with you."

Yaton gently held her hand and said firmly: "We will succeed."

The bonfire outside was burning brightly. Elena stood alone beside the bonfire with deep eyes, silently planning her next move in her heart.

"The journey ahead will surely be even more difficult," she murmured to herself, "but we will surely overcome it all."

Just then, Xingyu came over and asked, "Sister Elena, can you tell us more about 'Shadow'?"

Elena turned around and looked at Xingyu who was full of expectation, with a smile on her lips: "Of course, let's talk while we walk, I will tell you everything I know tonight."

Xingyu nodded excitedly, turned around and told everyone to get ready to leave. Aiden also stood up with the help of everyone, with a determined fire burning in his eyes.

In the deep night, a group of people followed Elena through the dense forest, heading towards the next destination she mentioned. It was quiet all around, with only the slight sound of wind and the rustling of fallen leaves underfoot. Suddenly, a faint cry for help broke the silence.

"Help...someone help me..."

Everyone stopped and looked around. Xingyu was sharp-eyed and found that the sound came from a dense bush not far away. She carefully pushed aside the branches and leaves, and saw an injured elf lying on the ground, bleeding from the wounds on its body, and its face was full of fear and pain.

"What's wrong?" Xingyu hurriedly picked up the elf and asked with concern.

The elf replied in a trembling voice, "They... those men in black, they are chasing me, saying that I am responsible for their failure. Please save me!"

Chen Feng frowned. "What black-clad man? There shouldn't be anyone here."

Su Ye gently stroked the elf's forehead: "Don't be afraid, we will protect you."

Yaton turned to Elena: "What do you think? Is this another trap?"

Elena shook her head and said, "Judging from its injuries, it doesn't look like an act. Besides, if it really is a trap set by the enemy, it would be too obvious."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange rustling sound suddenly came from the surrounding woods, and then a group of figures wearing black cloaks quickly surrounded them. The leader shouted loudly: "Hand over the elf, otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"

"Don't even think about it!" Chen Feng shouted angrily, with the arrow already on the string, ready to shoot at any time.

Kasas stood in front, wielding a huge sword, blocking the enemy's sight: "Everyone be careful, these guys are not easy to deal with."

Elio calmly analyzed the situation: "There are quite a lot of them, we have to deal with them in batches. Xingyu and Xuelian will be responsible for long-range attacks, Casas, me and Yaton will be responsible for close combat, and Elena and Suye will cover the rear."

Yaton nodded: "That's it, protect the elf!"

The battle was about to start, and the men in black swarmed in. Xingyu shot arrows with her bow and arrows, and each arrow accurately hit the enemy's vital points, making them scream. Chenfeng was not to be outdone, and the long sword in his hand flew, as agile as a dragon, and repelled several enemies.

Casas roared, and the giant sword swept out, and several men in black were blown away by the huge force. Elio's dagger flashed with cold light, accurately finding the opponent's weak defense, and killed them with a few consecutive slashes.

Although Yaton was still wounded, he still fought tenaciously. He waved his sword to block the attack of a man in black, then rolled over and kicked him to the ground. Su Ye cast magic on the side to give his teammates shields and recovery abilities to ensure their long-lasting combat effectiveness.

Elena was like a fairy dancing in the moonlight, her slender sword drew an elegant arc in the air, and every blow was a fatal blow. Her figure moved left and right, making it difficult for the enemy to track her whereabouts.

The battle lasted for a long time, and finally, the last man in black fell under Elio's dagger. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and gathered together.

"Who sent these people?" Su Ye asked.

Elena squatted down and checked the black-clad man on the ground, her face solemn: "It seems to be a hunting team of dark forces. They have been looking for this elf. But what's strange is, how could such an organization appear in this forest?"

The elf struggled to get up and said weakly: "I am the elf Leah from the Shadow Forest. My people have mastered some mysterious power, and they have been looking for opportunities to seize our secrets. I originally came here with important information to seek help, but I was intercepted by them on the way."

Atun looked at the injured elf, and a strong sense of mission ignited in his heart: "In this case, we must protect Leah and make sure she is safe."

A touch of emotion flashed in Liya's eyes: "Thank you so much, if it weren't for your help, I would have been buried in this dense forest."

Elena stood up: "Now is not the time to say thank you, we must leave here as soon as possible and find a safe place."

"Yeah." Xingyu nodded in agreement, "Where are we going now?"

Elena thought for a moment and replied: "There is a hidden cave not far from here. We can rest there for a while. Then I will find a way to contact more reinforcements to help us fight against those dark forces." (End of this chapter)
