In the end, under Su Chen's powerful sword attack, the monster was completely defeated and turned into a pool of black mist and disappeared.

"Huh, it's finally solved." Lan Li breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately everyone is fine."

"Thank you, it was really thrilling just now." Xiao Ya wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at her companions with gratitude.

"It's okay, this is part of the adventure." Su Chen patted her shoulder, "Let's go, let's move on and see if there are any clues here."

The group passed through the ruins and continued to explore the depths of the dark forest. They encountered many obstacles along the way, but they worked together to overcome them one by one. Until dusk, they stopped in front of an old stone monument.

There was an ancient text engraved on the stone tablet, which seemed to be a hint. Su Chen squatted down and read the text carefully.

"It mentions a hidden cave that may contain some secrets." Su Chen raised his head and said excitedly, "As long as we find this place, we can get important clues."

"Then let's go find it now!" Xiao Ya's eyes lit up.

"But be careful, there are usually many guardians in places like this." Lan Li reminded.

The four decided to rest near the stone tablet tonight and look for the hidden cave tomorrow morning. At night, they sat around the fire, talking and laughing, and their friendship deepened.

"I really hope that this mission can be completed successfully." The little girl leaned against Su Chen and said in a low voice.

"I definitely will," Su Chen held her hand and smiled gently, "No matter what happens, we will get through it together."

"Brother Ye, I always feel that we will have good luck." The little girl raised her head, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

"Yes, with you guys here, I think nothing is impossible." Xiaomi agreed.

Lan Li smiled slightly and said nothing. She just looked at the three friends in front of her, and her confidence became stronger.

The next morning, the sun shone through the treetops onto the faces of the four people. They quickly packed up their equipment and continued to move deeper into the Warcraft Forest. Along the way, they carefully avoided some obvious traps and dangers, taking every step with extreme caution.

"Brother Ye, you said we are going to kill a hundred monsters in this forest?" Xiao Ya looked up and asked, her eyes full of curiosity and excitement.

"Yes, this is part of our mission this time." Su Chen nodded, holding the sword tightly in his hand, "But the more important thing is to find the hidden cave."

"One hundred? It doesn't sound that difficult, but the monsters here are not weak." Lan Li said vigilantly.

Xiaomi added: "Yes, we have to choose the right battle strategy and not act blindly."

As they were talking, a gigantic wolf-shaped monster suddenly rushed out from the woods, its eyes gleaming with ferocity and its roaring sounding terrifying.

"Prepare for battle!" Su Chen gave an order, and the four of them immediately took up their battle formations.

Xiaoya clenched the dagger in her hand, Lanli quickly deployed the barrier, Xiaomi prepared the medicine and stood by. Su Chen faced the attack of the monster and slashed with his sword. The huge force forced the wolf-shaped monster back a few steps.

The battle lasted for a long time, and the wolf-shaped monster finally fell to the ground with the cooperation of the four people. Xiaomi stepped forward to treat Su Chen's minor skin injuries, and Su Chen nodded slightly to thank him.

"So this means we've only completed the first one." Xiao Ya said with a smile, but she knew in her heart that this was just the beginning.

In the following day, they continued to encounter various monsters, from small beasts as agile as lightning to giant bears. Every battle reminded them not to be careless. After each battle, Xiao Ya would carefully count the number of monsters she had defeated.

As the sky darkened, their results were getting closer and closer to the goal. However, at this moment, a deafening roar came from the depths of the forest, and a strong sense of oppression came over them.

Su Chen raised his head alertly: "This voice is not right, it should be some kind of powerful existence."

Before he could finish his words, a huge black dragon suddenly jumped out from beside a towering tree. Its body was seven or eight meters long, and its eyes were red as if it wanted to devour all living things.

"This is... a black dragon!" Xiaomi almost blurted out, with a trace of fear flashing across his face.

Lan Li quickly erected a protective barrier, but still felt the barrier vibrate violently. "This guy is too strong! Our spells and magic can't resist it at all!"

Xiao Ya tightly grasped the dagger in her hand, feeling a little flustered, but still said firmly: "Don't be afraid, let's work together to find a way to deal with it!"

The black dragon roared again and launched a fierce attack on Lan Li's barrier, and cracks appeared in the barrier instantly.

"Retreat!" Su Chen shouted decisively, and at the same time rolled over to avoid the black dragon's claw attack. He quickly pulled Xiao Ya, and the four of them fled in the opposite direction.

The black dragon obviously didn't want to let them go, and pursued them relentlessly. All the trees in the forest were uprooted by its claws, and the roar echoed all around.

"Brother Ye, what should we do? We will never be able to escape if this goes on!" Xiao Ya asked anxiously.

Su Chen pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up. "I got it. I remember there is a natural rock maze not far ahead. The complex terrain may help us get rid of this guy."

The group accelerated towards their destination, turning back and throwing spells to try to delay time. After finally reaching the rock maze, the black dragon seemed to hesitate, stopped and looked around, not daring to go in easily.

"It should be safe here for the time being." Lan Li breathed a sigh of relief, but still did not dare to slack off.

Su Chen looked around: "We must leave this place as soon as possible, but we must also be more cautious. This dragon is obviously not something we can fight against."

Xiaoya clenched the dagger in her hand and nodded. "I understand. We must complete the remaining tasks successfully."

"Let's take a break first." Xiaomi handed each of them a bottle of recovery potion, "We need to stay in good condition to face the next challenge." The four of them sat in a secluded place to rest. As night fell, only the occasional roar of monsters and the sound of wind could be heard around them, as if reminding them that the road ahead was still full of difficulties...

Xiaoya sighed softly and turned her gaze to Su Chen. "Brother Ye, do you think we can successfully complete the mission this time?"

Su Chen patted her hands, his eyes firm and gentle. "No matter what happens, as long as we work together, nothing is impossible. Now, let's have a good rest and continue our journey tomorrow."

The night was as dark as ink, the moonlight shone through the sparse treetops, and the forest was silent. The four were resting in a hidden corner of the rock maze, recovering their physical and mental strength. Su Chen closed his eyes, but his ears were alert to the movements around him. Xiao Ya leaned beside him, breathing evenly and lightly. Lan Li sat cross-legged quietly, as if meditating. Xiaomi leaned against a rock wall on one side, his eyes slightly closed, holding an empty bottle in his hand, obviously having finished a bottle of recovery potion.

At this moment, a discordant sound broke the silence of the night - low and continuous footsteps and the sound of leaves being trampled were intertwined and gradually approached. Lan Li suddenly opened her eyes and glanced around sharply. She immediately understood that this was not a friendly visitor.

"Everyone be careful, there are monsters approaching." She whispered. Before she finished her words, Su Chen opened his eyes and quickly stood up.

Xiaoya and Xiaomi were also awakened and nervously grabbed their weapons. At this time, a more obvious sound came from outside, as if several large animals were running fast. Suddenly, a huge black shadow jumped out of the woods and slammed into the stone wall of the rock maze, making a deafening noise.

"What is that?" Xiao Ya's eyes widened, with fear that was hard to conceal in her voice.

"It's a giant ape! And there's more than one!" Lan Li's face darkened and he quickly cast a reconnaissance spell, "There are at least four or five around."

Su Chen frowned and made a quick decision: "Let's run, we can't stay here for long!"

He grabbed Xiaoya's hand and rushed into the depths of the rock maze, followed closely by Lanli and Xiaomi. They passed through narrow cracks and winding paths, trying to avoid the giant apes that were chasing them. However, these giant apes were huge and powerful, and every impact made the entire rock maze tremble.

"Brother Ye, what should we do? There are too many roads here and we can't tell the direction at all." Xiao Ya said anxiously.

"Follow me!" Su Chen responded loudly, swinging his sword to cut through the thorn bushes blocking the way ahead. "Lan Li, can you find a way out?"

"I'll try." Lan Li gritted his teeth and a spot of light condensed between his fingers. Then he lightly tapped, and a faint light guided a path leading to the outside world.

Just as they were about to escape along the trail, a huge shadow suddenly fell, and a giant ape jumped directly onto the trail, blocking their way. The giant ape was at least seven or eight meters tall, with strong arms, fierce eyes, and a low roar from its mouth.

"Run separately!" Su Chen made a prompt decision, pushing Xiaoya to a fork on the right while speaking, and confronted the giant ape himself. His long sword flashed coldly in the night, and slashed at the giant ape's chest.

"Ouch!" The giant ape roared angrily and slapped Su Chen with one claw. Su Chen dodged the attack deftly and slashed the giant ape's wrist with his backhand, causing blood to gush out immediately.

At the same time, Lan Li and Xiaomi each led some of the giant apes to escape in different directions, trying to distract their attention. Xiao Ya ran quickly along the fork in the road, silently praying in her heart that she must be safe.

However, more giant apes appeared and surrounded them from all directions, and the situation became increasingly critical. Just when they were almost in despair, Su Chen suddenly discovered another hidden crack that seemed to lead deeper into the ground. He rushed over without hesitation and shouted to others to follow.

"There is a tunnel here, follow me quickly!" Su Chen shouted as he flashed into the narrow and dark gap.

Xiaoya was the first to react and quickly followed. Lanli and Xiaomi followed and eventually all entered the tunnel. The passage was long and narrow and curved, only allowing one person to pass through. Although the giant ape was extremely powerful, it could not enter such a narrow gap to chase them.

After struggling through the tunnel for a while, they finally found a slightly more spacious place to rest. Everyone was panting and exhausted, but at least they were safe for the time being.

"Everyone take a breath first, and then we'll discuss what to do next." Su Chen leaned against the wall, panting.

"Brother Ye, this time it's really dangerous..." Xiao Ya leaned against his shoulder with some trembling.

"It's okay, we are all still alive, this is the best outcome." Su Chen patted her back gently to comfort her.

Xiaomi took out some of the remaining medicine and handed it to everyone: "Everyone, just treat your wounds first, we have to move on later."

Lan Li stood silently by the side, watching them, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. At this time, a weak vibration was transmitted to the ground again...

"Brother Ye, what's that sound?" The little girl raised her head nervously and looked at Su Chen.

Su Chen frowned and said slowly: "I don't know if it's my illusion, but it feels like a new threat is coming..."

Su Chen's eyes became more determined. He knew that he had to make a quick decision at this time. He gently pushed Xiaoya away, stood up and said, "I have a plan, but it is very dangerous. We need to take advantage of the fight between the giant ape and the black dragon to find a chance to escape."

"What plan?" Xiao Ya asked, holding his hand tightly.

"I will lead the black dragon away by myself, bring it to this area, and let it fight with the giant ape. In this way, we can take the opportunity to escape from here." Su Chen's tone was firm and unquestionable.

Lan Li immediately shook her head. "It's too risky. You can't fight the black dragon alone. What if it discovers your intentions..."

"We must try. This is our only chance." Su Chen interrupted her. "I believe you can find a safe way to leave here. When the black dragon and the giant ape start fighting, leave quickly."

"No, Brother Ye, I don't want you to take risks alone!" The little girl's eyes were filled with tears and fear and reluctance.

"Be obedient, little girl. We don't have time to hesitate, this is the only way." Su Chen patted her shoulder gently, "Don't worry, I will try to be careful. Your safety is the most important thing."

"Okay then, but Brother Ye, you must be careful. I will wait for you to come back." The little girl held Su Chen's hand tightly with firm belief in her eyes.

"Okay," Su Chen said with a smile, "Believe me, everything will be fine."

After that, Su Chen took a deep breath and turned to walk towards the tunnel entrance. He looked back at the three people, his eyes full of determination. Xiaoya, Lanli and Xiaomi watched him go away, feeling mixed emotions.

Su Chen felt his way out along the narrow passage and soon arrived at the periphery of the rock maze. It was still pitch black outside, with only the occasional whistling of the wind. He walked through the woods lightly, trying to avoid making any noise. However, just as he was about to walk out of the woods, a familiar roar came from behind him - it was the voice of the black dragon! (End of this chapter)
