"Scatter!" Facing the impending large-scale attack, Zhao De reacted immediately, reminding everyone to spread out to reduce the risk of casualties. Just at this critical moment, a series of hurried footsteps came from the flank; it was Zhao De and his small team arriving just in time to provide support!
"We found some clues; this thing might have a weakness!" Zhao De ran over, waving to signal everyone to look at the enemy's back, where there seemed to be some kind of glowing mark. "Aim there; it should work!"
Without a moment's hesitation, Zhao De quickly adjusted his posture, gripped the last arrow tightly in his hand, and aimed at the target: "Trust your instincts, prepare to fire—now!"
With the command given, everyone worked together, pouring all their strength into this attack. Countless arrows and various ranged weapons instantly covered the area, especially heading towards the mysterious glowing spot.
"Ah!" With a scream, the monster finally succumbed to the intense, concentrated attack, its body trembling violently before collapsing to the ground. Although it struggled to stand, it was clearly powerless to do so and ultimately lost all ability to resist.
Looking at the enormous creature lying on the ground, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. "We did it..." Zhao De said softly, his voice tinged with barely perceptible exhaustion.
However, the good weather didn't last long, because soon after, a deep but clearly visible ripple came from the depths of the lake, as if something even more dangerous was approaching...
"It seems this is just the beginning. What we're about to face may be even more troublesome." Zhao De looked solemnly at the abnormal phenomenon that was gradually approaching in the distance, secretly calculating how to deal with it next.
Just when everyone thought they could finally catch their breath, an unknown force gradually approaching from the depths of the lake caused the tension in the air to rise again. Zhao De and the others gripped their weapons tightly, preparing to face the new challenge that was about to begin.
“We need to come up with a plan quickly,” Zhao De turned to look at Zhao De. “What do you think we should do?”
"Don't rush, let everyone rest for a bit. I'm afraid that if this continues, everyone will be unable to hold on." Zhao De looked around and saw that most of the team members were already exhausted. Although they had indeed achieved a considerable victory just now, if they did not recover their strength before facing even stronger enemies, their previous efforts might be in vain.
Meanwhile, several team members were busy tending to their wounded comrades. Although the battle was over, many still bore visible injuries. Zhao De and a few others were giving the wounded basic first aid, trying to restore some of their fighting strength to prepare them for the next potential danger.
"Did you find anything special about that monster?" Zhao De asked the team members responsible for delivering the final blow.
"Aside from the rather unusual markings on it, there doesn't seem to be anything unusual. However, that glowing spot definitely looks like some kind of energy core," one team member replied.

“An energy core? If that’s the case, it means we might have found an effective way to deal with these monsters,” Zhao De exclaimed excitedly. “But the problem is, we don’t know what kind of life forms we’ll encounter next…”
Before he could finish speaking, the ripples on the distant lake became even more violent, as if countless enormous objects were slowly rising to the surface. An unprecedented sense of oppression filled the air, and everyone felt an almost suffocating pressure. This feeling immediately made Zhao De realize that they were facing more than just ordinary creatures.
"Prepare for battle!" Zhao De raised his voice and commanded. Everyone quickly assembled and assumed a fighting stance. At that moment, a huge splash appeared at the forefront, followed by a series of strange sounds—it seemed as if something was leaping out of the water.
"It looks like this isn't just one or two flying creatures," Zhao De said in a low voice, his tone wary. He and the others picked up their most proficient spears or other ranged weapons, ready to attack at any moment.
Finally, when the first figure fully emerged, everyone present involuntarily gasped. This was no ordinary monster; it was a being covered in hard scales and possessed enormous tentacles! Its sheer size was unbelievable, and clearly, this was just one of the pioneers.
"Is this...is this the legendary water monster?" a young team member asked in terror.
"Whatever it is, its presence here means we cannot back down; we must fight to the end," Zhao De said firmly, then turned to Zhao De beside him, "Have you noticed any similar markings on it?"
“Yes, I tried to look for it,” Zhao De nodded, “but because it’s too far away and it keeps moving, I can’t see it clearly yet.”
Just then, more of the same creatures emerged from the water, their numbers far exceeding any of their previous opponents. Each one circled in the air for a moment before swooping down to the ground, clearly not intending to let these brave human warriors escape.
"Listen up, we must concentrate our firepower on the first one to appear, and pay special attention to whether there are any glowing spots on its body." Zhao De quickly made the decision and began to direct the team.
"Understood!" the team members responded in unison. Arrows and projectiles immediately rained down on the leading behemoth. Although the attack was not very effective due to the target's size, they still saw a glimmer of hope: the giant beast had indeed been injured in some parts, and even revealed a faint glow.
"Keep attacking the same spot, don't stop!" Zhao De shouted, encouraging his teammates not to give up. In that instant, a crack suddenly appeared in the seemingly impenetrable defense, revealing an energy core similar to the one that had previously defeated the monster!
Seizing this golden opportunity, Zhao De shouted, "Concentrate all firepower and aim at the center!"
With a command, the entire squad unleashed unprecedented fighting power. Countless arrows and energy orbs rained down on the crucial point until the very last moment... the overwhelming pressure finally subsided considerably, and ultimately, the terrifying creature, just as before, collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Chapter 1328 Challenge
Chapter 1328 Challenge
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, a dazzling light suddenly shone in the sky...
"What is that light? Is it the sun rising?" someone asked in confusion.
“No, this light is too dazzling, and the direction is wrong,” Zhao De squinted as he observed, “Could it be…”
Before he could finish speaking, a warm and mysterious beam of light descended from the sky, shining directly onto the battlefield. When the light faded, people discovered that not only had everyone's injuries miraculously healed, but their depleted energy had also been replenished.
"Where did this blessing come from?" Zhao De looked up at the sky, his heart filled with gratitude.
Just as everyone was immersed in the joy and confusion brought by the sudden miracle of light, a voice broke the silence: "This is a gift from the goddess of the sky. Thank you for protecting this land."
Everyone looked up to find the source of the sound, and saw a woman in a light blue robe with a kind face slowly descending from the sky. Her appearance seemed to bring an atmosphere of peace, causing everyone present to unconsciously lower their guard.
"You are..." Zhao De asked, somewhat surprised.
The woman smiled and replied, "I am the goddess who protects this continent; you may call me Luna. You have demonstrated extraordinary courage and wisdom, successfully withstanding this crisis. Therefore, I have decided to offer you my assistance."
Zhao De stepped forward and asked curiously, "Then the monsters we killed before, were they also created by you?"
Luna gently shook her head. "No, they are invaders from another dimension. They are trying to disrupt the balance of this continent. You have done well, but more challenges await you."
After hearing these words, Zhao De said with a firm look in his eyes, "In that case, please tell us how to continue fighting them! We need to know more about these invaders."
“Very good, having this determination is already half the battle won.” Luna looked at him approvingly. “First of all, the energy core of those creatures is their weakness. As you have discovered, destroying it can effectively kill them. In addition, each type of enemy has its unique characteristics and weaknesses, and you must be good at observing and taking advantage of this in battle.”
"Understood." Zhao De nodded, silently noting the key information in his mind. "So, besides relying on brute force, are there any other ways to solve this problem? For example, finding a way to stop their invasion?"
In response to his question, Luna smiled slightly. "That's a very clever question. In fact, behind every intruder is a door that serves as a passage connecting two worlds. If we can close this door, we can naturally stop the continuous influx of enemies. But finding such an entrance is not easy; you will need to go through a series of trials to obtain clues."
Upon hearing this, the entire team members simultaneously revealed determined expressions. Clearly, they were mentally prepared to face even greater challenges.
“Alright, we’ll do everything we can to find a way to close the gate.” Zhao De turned to his teammates. “You all know what that means, right?”
"That's right, no matter how difficult the situation, we will persevere to the end!" the team members replied in unison, their morale high.

Luna nodded in satisfaction. "I will continue to monitor your progress and provide necessary assistance when needed. Now, focus on recovering your strength, as there is still a long way to go."
As soon as the words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly fell silent. When everyone opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a lush, vibrant place. The air was filled with a refreshing scent, and the sound of flowing water could be heard in the distance, giving them a sense of peace and tranquility.
"This is our training base," Luna's voice rang out again. "Here you can undergo special training to improve your strength."
"Thank you for your help, Ms. Luna," Zhao De said gratefully, then turned to his team. "Alright everyone, let's seize this opportunity to become stronger and meet the challenges ahead!"
The team members nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with fighting spirit. They knew this was not only an opportunity for growth, but also a test of their courage and determination.
“First,” Luna continued, “I will provide one-on-one training based on your individual strengths. Zhao De, you excel in close combat, so I will teach you how to use weapons more flexibly and efficiently in battle.”
"Yes!" Zhao De replied excitedly, he couldn't wait to get started.
"Zhao De, you possess outstanding command abilities and keen strategic vision. We will further enhance these abilities through simulated combat."
"No problem," Zhao De replied confidently, believing that this training would enable him to better lead the team in completing their mission.
With everyone assigned specific training content, the next few days were exceptionally fulfilling and arduous. Despite the challenging process, no one complained, and a stronger sense of cooperation and trust developed among them.
Finally, on the evening of the third day, a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere filled the training base—this was their first short break. "Let's relax tonight!" one of the team members suggested.
Just as everyone was preparing to go fishing and picnicking by the river, they suddenly heard a series of rumbling sounds coming from afar. "What's that sound?" Zhao De immediately became alert and drew his sword from his waist to ask.
"It might be a new enemy!" Zhao De reacted quickly and called out to everyone, "Quick! Stay alert and prepare for battle!"
Within seconds, the noise became clearer. It turned out that a group of seemingly ordinary goats were rushing towards them, but closely following behind them were several huge monsters, each larger than a house, exuding a terrifying aura.
"Run!" Zhao De shouted, leading the retreat in the opposite direction. The team members also immediately sprang into action, retreating while observing the surrounding environment, trying to find a suitable position to launch a counterattack.
Just when everyone was almost driven to the brink of despair, a dazzling figure suddenly descended from the sky—it was Luna! With a gentle wave of her hands, a beam of light instantly enveloped the entire area, causing the pursuing monsters to stop in their tracks.
“You are safe for now,” Luna said to those below, “but don’t forget what happened today. It reminds you that you must never let your guard down.”
"Thank you, Teacher Luna!" Everyone expressed their gratitude in unison, while also being deeply impressed by the power of this mysterious woman.

Chapter 1330: Taking Effect
"You're welcome. The most important thing is for you yourselves to become stronger." After saying this, she disappeared into the night, leaving behind silence.
After this unexpected turn of events, the planned celebration was naturally canceled. But no one felt frustrated or disappointed; instead, everyone's hearts were more closely united. "We can't wait any longer. Let's go back to the training ground now and improve our skills as quickly as possible!" Zhao De said firmly, looking at everyone.
The other team members also expressed their agreement, saying, "That's right, we must make ourselves stronger so that we can face greater difficulties in the future without fear of hardship."
So, in the days that followed, these brave young people threw themselves into even more intense training, eager to become true heroes who would protect this land...
Over the next few weeks, the squad's training intensity increased steadily. Everyone was pushing themselves to the limit, trying to push their bodies and minds to the limit. Zhao De was no exception; he not only honed his command skills through simulated combat but also intensified his physical training to maintain peak physical condition. Meanwhile, Luna would occasionally appear to provide guidance, her incredible strength always providing immense encouragement to the team members.
The morning was sunny and bright, filled with the fresh scent of flowers and grass. After a period of arduous training, Li Xiao, a member of the team, looked rather exhausted. "Hey, you don't look well," Zhang Li asked, patting her shoulder. "Do you need to rest for a while?"
"It's nothing... I just didn't sleep well last night," Li Xiao replied with a forced smile.
Just then, Zhao De, who was walking over from a short distance away, noticed their conversation. "Rest is also part of growth," he said, walking up to the two of them. "Remember, we're a team. Only when everyone is at their best can we fight against those invaders together. So now, go and relax under the shade of the trees over there."
Hearing this, Li Xiao nodded slightly embarrassed and sat down to the side. Just then, Zhao De ran over from the other side carrying a new weapon. "Everyone, come and see this!" he excitedly showed off the sword-shaped weapon in his hand to those around him. "This is a small prize I won in the simulation battle, and it feels really good in my hand!"
Everyone crowded around to examine it closely, and even the usually calm and reserved Zhao De couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "It's really good, it looks very practical."
Just as the atmosphere was becoming more cheerful, suddenly hurried footsteps and cries for help came from afar. Everyone became alert, immediately stopped talking, and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
A panicked figure quickly approached them. "Help... there's... there's a large group of enemies!" the person shouted, panting heavily.
Upon hearing this news, the group, who had just relaxed, instantly tensed up. "Everyone get ready, split into groups and quickly find advantageous terrain to set up defenses," Zhao De, as the team leader, gave the order without hesitation.
The entire team quickly assembled according to their usual training plan and headed towards the scene of the incident. On the way, Zhao De said to his comrades, "I hope today's new weapons will be effective on the battlefield." Although he said this, he was actually filled with tension.
