Chapter 968 What
They jumped carefully on the rocks in the lava, and every step was full of danger. Suddenly, a huge salamander jumped out of the lava, its body burning with blazing flames, and pounced on them with its fangs and claws bared.
Xiaohu quickly drew out his sword and started a fierce battle with the fire lizard. The fire lizard attacked fiercely, and the flames it spewed made it difficult for Xiaohu to get close. Qi Tongwei and his companions looked for opportunities to attack the fire lizard with bows and magic.
After a hard fight, Xiaohu finally found the fire lizard's weakness. He stabbed the fire lizard's head with a sword and killed it. Everyone continued to move forward and finally found the "Sword of Light" deep in the magma land.
The "Sword of Light" was sealed in a huge crystal coffin, surrounded by a powerful magical force. Xiaohu walked to the crystal coffin and reached out to touch it. Suddenly, the crystal coffin emitted a burst of light, the magical force gradually dissipated, and the "Sword of Light" appeared in his hand.
Holding the "Sword of Light", Xiaohu felt a powerful force surging into his body. The sword body emitted a dazzling light, as if illuminating the entire magma land.
Next, they headed to the cursed ancient city to look for the "Guardian Shield". The gate of the ancient city was closed, and there was a smell of decay around it. As soon as they approached the gate, a group of skeleton soldiers emerged from the ground and attacked them with weapons.
Everyone quickly picked up their weapons to resist. Although these skeleton soldiers were slow in action, they were numerous and tireless. Xiaohu wielded the "Sword of Light" and killed the approaching skeleton soldiers one by one, but the skeleton soldiers continued to come.
Just when they were feeling a bit exhausted, Li Xin discovered a mechanism on the gate of the ancient city. She ran over and carefully studied the mechanism, and found that she needed to find a specific item to open the gate. Qi Tongwei looked for clues around and finally found a stone with strange symbols engraved on it in a corner.
They put the stone into the mechanism, and the gate slowly opened. They rushed into the ancient city, which was filled with thick fog, greatly obstructing their vision. They moved forward cautiously, and suddenly heard a sinister laugh.
A figure slowly walked out of the mist. It was a witch in a black robe, with a strange smile on her face and a magic wand in her hand. The witch waved the magic wand, and black magic beams shot towards everyone.
Xiaohu used the "Sword of Light" to block the magic beam, while the others looked for opportunities to attack the witch. The witch's magic was very powerful, and they could not get close to her for a while. At this time, Li Xin discovered the flaw in the witch's magic circle, and she signaled to Xiaohu.
Xiao Hu understood what she meant. He concentrated his strength and launched a fierce attack on the flaw in the witch's magic circle. The light of the "Sword of Light" instantly penetrated the magic circle and hit the witch. The witch screamed and her body gradually dissipated.
The crowd continued to search in the ancient city, and finally found the "Guardian Shield" in an ancient palace. The "Guardian Shield" exuded a soft light, and was engraved with mysterious runes.
After getting the "Guardian Shield", they started their journey to find the "Stone of Destiny". They came to the seaside, hired a sturdy ship, and headed for the deep sea. On the vast ocean, they encountered a violent storm, and the ship was shaking violently in the waves, and there was a danger of sinking at any time.
After finally getting through the storm, they encountered a group of sirens. The sirens sang beautifully, confusing the crew members and making them jump into the sea. Xiaohu used the "Sword of Light" to cut off the sirens' singing, and everyone woke up.
After a fierce battle, they finally defeated the sea monster. Continuing forward, they came to a mysterious underwater cave. There was a strange light flashing in the cave, and the "Stone of Destiny" was probably inside.
Xiaohu put on a special diving suit, took the "Sword of Light" and the "Shield of Protection", and dived into the underwater cave. The cave was dark and deep, and all kinds of strange creatures were swimming around. Xiaohu moved forward carefully and suddenly found a huge whirlpool in front of him.
He tried to bypass the whirlpool, but was sucked in by a powerful force. In the whirlpool, Xiaohu felt his body being pulled and his consciousness gradually blurred. Just when he was about to despair, he suddenly saw the light emanating from the "Stone of Destiny".
He swam towards the light with his last bit of strength and finally caught the "Stone of Destiny". At the moment he caught the "Stone of Destiny", the power of the whirlpool suddenly disappeared, and he was pushed out of the underwater cave by a gentle force.
Xiaohu returned to the ship with the "Stone of Destiny", and everyone cheered. They finally collected the three artifacts and set off on the journey to the northern castle.
When they arrived at the northern castle, the seal was already crumbling, and the power of darkness continued to pour out of the castle. Xiaohu held the "Sword of Light", Li Xin held the "Shield of Protection", and Qi Tongwei held the "Stone of Destiny", leading everyone to rush to the castle.
In front of the castle, they launched a thrilling battle with the dark forces. Dark creatures surged like a tide, but they relied on the power of the three artifacts to repel the enemy again and again.
Finally, Xiaohu inserted the "Sword of Light" into the seal of the castle, Li Xin used the "Guardian Shield" to protect the surroundings, and Qi Tongwei integrated the "Stone of Destiny" into the seal. The power of the three artifacts merged with each other, emitting a dazzling light, and re-sealed the dark power in the castle.
As the dark forces were sealed, the sky gradually cleared up, and the world returned to its former peace and tranquility. Xiaohu and his companions returned to the village, where they became heroes and their stories were passed down from generation to generation.
However, on an ordinary afternoon, the gears of fate began to turn quietly again.
Uncle Shuan Lao, who lives at the head of the village, is a horse herder. He has been with horses all his life and knows their habits like the back of his hand. One morning, he went to the stable to feed the horses as usual, but was stunned by the scene in front of him. The most docile chestnut horse was standing quietly in the corner, but its eyes were full of indescribable agility and sadness. When it saw Uncle Shuan Lao, it knelt on the ground and let out a long sigh like a human. Uncle Shuan Lao rubbed his eyes, thinking he was still dreaming, but everything in front of him was so real.
The news spread throughout the village in an instant, and villagers came to watch. Xiaohu, who had grown into a mainstay in the village, heard about this and hurried over with a bit of curiosity and caution. When he approached the horse, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if the horse was trying to tell him something.
