Chapter 536: Survival in the Mist 13
"Lin Qian, what are you thinking about?" Li Hao's voice came from behind. He walked to Lin Qian's side and also looked at the mist in the distance.
"I wonder what's behind the fog." Lin Qian said softly, "Although we have made great achievements, I know that this is far from enough. The world is too big, and there are still many unknown places we have not visited."
Li Hao nodded: "Yes. However, as long as we have curiosity and courage, nothing can stop us. Behind the fog, there may be more miracles and treasures waiting for us to discover."
Hearing this, Lin Qian smiled. She knew that Li Hao was right. As long as they still had dreams and courage, nothing could stop them from moving forward. So, she turned around and held Li Hao's hand tightly.
"Let's work together," she said, "for our dreams and for the future of this world."
Li Hao also showed a determined look: "That's right. Let's work together. No matter how many difficulties and challenges we face, we will definitely be able to overcome them."
So, they set out on an adventure again. This time, their goal was clearer and their faith was more resolute. They knew that as long as they moved forward hand in hand, nothing could stop them from moving forward. And behind the fog, there must be more miracles and treasures waiting for them to discover and explore.
In the following days, Lin Qian and her teammates continued to travel between the alien world and their world. Not only did they bring back more treasures and knowledge, they also made many like-minded friends and partners. Their organization gradually grew stronger and became a force that could not be ignored.
However, they also know that all this is just the beginning. The road ahead is still long, and there are still many unknown places they have not visited, and there are still many miracles and treasures waiting for them to discover and explore. But they believe that as long as they maintain their curiosity and courage, they will be able to reach the end and realize their dreams.
During an expedition, they came to a mysterious forest in another world. The forest was filled with a strong magical atmosphere, which made people feel awe. They walked along the path in the forest and saw some strange plants and animals from time to time. These creatures were completely different from what they had seen before, full of mystery and fantasy.
"This is such a magical place." Xiao Wang exclaimed, "I feel like I have entered a fairy tale world."
Lin Qian also nodded: "That's right. This place is indeed full of magic and miracles. We must be careful not to disturb the creatures here."
As they continued to move forward, they suddenly heard a commotion coming from the front. They quickened their pace and rushed over to see a group of strange creatures arguing in front of a huge treasure chest. These creatures looked like a mix of elves and orcs, holding weapons and glaring at each other.
"It seems that this treasure chest caused a dispute among them." Li Hao whispered, "Should we go over and take a look?"
Lin Qian thought for a moment and said, "Let's observe them first. These creatures don't look easy to deal with, so we shouldn't act rashly."
So, they hid behind a big tree and quietly observed the quarrel of the creatures. After a fierce quarrel and fight, a powerful creature finally stood out. He held a huge axe and chopped the treasure chest open with one axe. The treasure chest suddenly emitted a dazzling light, revealing a pile of precious treasures and magic equipment.
"It seems that this treasure chest is indeed very valuable." Xiao Wang whispered, "Should we secretly take some treasures while they are not paying attention?"
Lin Qian shook her head: "No. Although these creatures are quarreling, they are one species after all. If we steal the treasure, it will definitely arouse their anger and hunt us down. It is better for us not to take any risks."
At this moment, the group of creatures suddenly noticed them hiding behind the tree. They immediately raised their weapons and surrounded Lin Qian and the others.
Faced with the sudden siege, Lin Qian and Li Hao quickly exchanged glances. They understood each other's intentions without saying anything - stay calm and find a breakthrough. Although Xiao Wang was a little nervous, he gradually calmed down under the calm influence of the two captains.
"Everyone, we mean no harm." Lin Qian spoke first, her voice calm and clear, trying to ease the tense atmosphere. "We are just passing by here and have no interest in your dispute. Can you please let us go?"
A creature who seemed to be the leader stepped forward. He was wearing an emerald green cloak, his eyes sparkling with wisdom, but also with a bit of vigilance. "Stranger, your behavior has attracted our attention. In this forest, any unauthorized intruder will be regarded as an enemy." His voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the surroundings.
Li Hao stepped forward and spread his hands to show friendliness: "We understand the rules here, and we respect the territory of every living being. But we are explorers, and we pursue knowledge and peace, not conflict and fighting. Perhaps we can provide some help as compensation for mistakenly entering your place."
These words seemed to touch a chord in the leader's heart. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly put down the spear in his hand and said, "So, tell me, stranger, what kind of help can you provide?"
Lin Qian smiled slightly, took out a scroll from her backpack, and gently unfolded it. "This is an ancient map that marks the remains of some lost civilizations. We believe that these remains may be equally important to you. In exchange, we hope to obtain permission to leave here safely and learn some knowledge about this forest."
The leading creature took the map and examined it carefully, his eyes gradually shining. The creatures around him also gathered around and discussed in low voices. The atmosphere seemed to ease. After a moment, he looked up at Lin Qian and the other two, with a barely perceptible respect in his tone: "Your proposal is very tempting, stranger. But before that, you must pass a trial to prove your worth."
"Trial?" Xiao Wang blurted out, with surprise written all over his face.
"Yes, the trial." The leading creature nodded. "Deep in this forest, there is an ancient magical beast hidden. It guards the secrets of the forest. If you can defeat it and bring back its heart as proof, we are willing to share the knowledge of the forest with you and allow you to leave safely."
Lin Qian and Li Hao looked at each other and read determination in each other's eyes. Although this trial was full of unknowns and dangers, it was both a challenge and an opportunity for them.
