Chapter 1071 How lucky I am!

As the mysterious energy ripples slowly approached, an indescribable tension filled the air. Just as everyone was speculating, the dragon seemed to sense some unease as well.

It abruptly stopped its attack, a hint of doubt flashing in its huge pupils. Then it raised its head and let out a low, long roar, its voice carrying a trace of panic.

Just then, a dazzling light suddenly rose from between the distant mountains, like the sun rising instantly from the horizon, so bright it was almost blinding. "Wow, what is that light? Could it be a god descending?" A young man's voice rang out from the crowd, filled with shock and bewilderment.

While everyone was captivated by the sudden sight, Zhao De and the others instinctively adjusted their positions, expanding their defensive formation to protect the innocent villagers behind them. "Be careful! Whatever is hidden behind that light, we can't let our guard down!" the experienced and composed Zhao De warned.

Soon, the light gradually dimmed and disappeared, revealing an unexpected presence—a young man riding a giant white eagle, clad in silver armor, appeared in everyone's sight. He had a handsome face and incredibly sharp eyes; even from a distance, one could sense his extraordinary aura. "It's him... the legendary Wandering Knight!" the village elder exclaimed excitedly, almost shouting. "They say he can summon the power of nature to fight evil; how incredibly lucky!"

The newcomer slowly landed on the ground, his gaze sweeping over the chaotic scene before him, and then looking directly at the giant dragon coiled in the center: "Why have you come here to harass the civilians? Have you forgotten your duty to protect them?" His tone was calm yet powerful.

Upon hearing this, the previously restless giant creature suddenly became unusually quiet. A few seconds later, it transformed into human form—it turned out to be just a humanoid dragon warrior who had come due to a misunderstanding. "Ah~ I'm sorry for causing so much trouble. I just wanted to find a long-lost sacred relic, and I meant no harm," the creature explained apologetically.

Seeing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. Li Tao even stepped forward and asked, "If that's the case, why didn't you reveal your identity sooner? You almost caused a disaster!"

"I tried many times to contact the local villages for help, but to no avail... Only today did I discover the real reason." The dragon, having regained its human form, shook its head with a wry smile. "In any case, I am very grateful to everyone for stepping forward to protect our homeland."

Hearing this, Zhang Ming raised an eyebrow slightly. "Alright, if it's just a misunderstanding, it's easy to handle. But what exactly is this sacred object you're talking about?"

When asked the question, the mysterious visitor remained silent for a moment before speaking: "It concerns the key to the balance of the entire world. If it can be found and properly disposed of, it may be able to end the root cause of the long-standing disasters."

These words were like a stone thrown into a lake, immediately creating ripples. "Wait, are you saying that all the hardships we've gone through are because this treasure is missing?" Matt asked, somewhat surprised.

At this moment, the old hunter, who had remained silent until now, stepped forward, clapped his hands, and drew everyone's attention. "Regardless of the truth or motives behind it all, everyone here has demonstrated an exceptionally strong sense of responsibility and courage; this is the most crucial part of solving the problem."

Chapter 1072 The Matter Is Not Over

No sooner had she finished speaking than the little girl excitedly ran up to the heroes, tugged at her skirt, and asked, "Uncle and Auntie, are you really going to save the world? Can you take me with you?"

Shirley bent down, patted her head, and smiled as she agreed, "We'll try our best not to disappoint the children~ But your staying home and waiting is the best help you can give us."

Just when everything seemed to be heading towards a perfect resolution, a strange light suddenly flashed across the sky again, accompanied by a series of booming sounds… “It seems things aren’t over yet,” Anna squinted at the horizon; a new challenge had arrived.

“That’s right, we won’t stop as long as there is danger.” Zhang Ming said firmly, gripping the hilt of his sword tightly, ready to brave the wind and waves and embark on another journey.

Just as everyone was preparing to face the unknown challenges once again, a deafening roar descended from the sky, as if something had ripped the heavens apart. Everyone involuntarily looked up, only to see a strange, enormous dark cloud rapidly approaching from the distance, accompanied by lightning and thunder, like a harbinger of the end of the world.

"What on earth is going on?!" someone screamed from the crowd, fear spreading instantly. "Is it a monster? We just dealt with the dragon!"

Standing on the front line, Zhao De's expression was solemn. He whispered to the people beside him, "Everyone, stay calm and be ready to fight at any time. No matter what comes, as long as we are united, there is no difficulty that we cannot overcome."

Just then, the young man in silver armor, riding an eagle—the legendary wandering knight—spoke: "Gentlemen, please have faith in our strength. No matter what kind of enemy we encounter, we will fight side by side to the very end."

Hearing these encouraging words, the people present felt somewhat calmer. An older villager couldn't help but exclaim, "Truly worthy descendants of heroes passed down from ancient times! I only hope that you can overcome this difficulty and save the lives of people on this land."

However, something seemed to be slowly taking shape in the dark clouds: a gigantic shadow, its body as black as ink, with blue flames burning in its eyes, and each step it took caused the earth to tremble. "What is that terrifying thing again!" the children cried, hiding in the arms of the adults for comfort. "Uncles and Aunties, please defeat it quickly! Otherwise, we'll all be killed!"

Just as the two sides were about to clash, the mysterious humanoid dragon warrior suddenly stepped forward, raising his hands in an attempt to communicate: "Friend, please wait! Perhaps we can try to communicate first instead of immediately engaging in battle? You know, war only brings more pain and casualties..."

But the other party clearly had no intention of talking; instead, he swung his massive fist at him. "Danger!" Zhang Ming intervened just in time to block the attack. "This isn't the time for reasoning; this guy has absolutely no mercy!"

As the battle was about to begin, the emotions of the surrounding onlookers fluctuated wildly. Several young men excitedly discussed, "The flashing swords and the clash of fists and feet are so cool! When I grow up, I want to be a warrior like them!"

On the other side, several little girls looked worried: "That older sister (pointing at Shirley) looks very brave, but she's also working very hard. Should we go help her?" One of the slightly more mature girls shook her head and said, "Going over now will only be a burden to her. Let's just stand here and cheer for our older brothers and sisters. Let's help them when we're strong enough in the future!"

Chapter 1073 For the Same Goal

In the midst of the fierce battle, Zhao De cleverly used the wind element to create a barrier, temporarily blocking the enemy's relentless attack. He shouted, "Everyone, take this opportunity to evacuate to a safe area immediately! We'll handle this!" Then, he transformed into a powerful force and charged straight at the arrogant dark giant...

After a long and fierce battle, the enemy was finally defeated and rendered unable to resist.

After witnessing all of this, all the civilians present gathered around to express their gratitude: "It is thanks to everyone who stepped forward that our hometown was able to be safe and sound."

"If you hadn't been here, we might all be dead today..."

The many compliments made these warriors feel very warm and satisfied.

But before anyone could relax their guard, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded in the distance, and a group of unidentified individuals appeared at the edge of their field of vision, rapidly approaching...

The woman at the head of the group was dressed in strange clothes and wore a wide-brimmed hat that obscured her face, making it impossible to see her true appearance. However, one could vaguely see that her eyes revealed a cunning and shrewd aura.

"Oh ho~ So this is where the key item you mentioned that can solve the problem is located? What a coincidence~ We've come here for the same goal!"

"What did you say?" Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became alert, exchanging glances and realizing that they might be facing an even more powerful enemy.

"Could it be that... this adventure is far from over?" Zhao De murmured, expressing his innermost thoughts.

At that moment, the mysterious woman's lips curled into a sly smile: "That's right, the show has only just begun... Are you ready for the next challenge?"

Just as the mysterious woman finished speaking, several cold-faced men in black suddenly appeared behind her. Each of them exuded a formidable aura. The surrounding crowd immediately became agitated, fear and unease spreading through them.

Who exactly are you people?! Zhao De warily stood in front of the crowd, his eyes fixed on these uninvited guests.

"Oh my, you've got a quick reaction." The woman chuckled, her voice both melodious and eerie. "Let me introduce myself—I am Liana, the leader of 'Dark Night.' Tonight, our goal is simple: to take the last natural elemental core from this planet."

A murmur rippled through the crowd. "A core of natural elements? Could it be...?" Some began to whisper among themselves.

"Is what you're saying true?" an old woman asked in a trembling voice. "Our secret, which we've guarded for generations, has been discovered by the outside world."

A young man nearby rushed forward to help the elderly woman, his eyes filled with disbelief: "How could anyone know about something like this..."

Seeing this, Liana slowly took two steps forward: "It seems the news has spread quite a bit~ But it's understandable, after all, everyone wants to possess such powerful strength, right? Now just hand it over obediently to avoid embarrassment for each other~" She deliberately dragged out the last sentence, seemingly not taking everyone seriously at all.

"What a joke!" Zhao De's comrade-in-arms said angrily, "We risk our lives to defend this land precisely to protect this precious resource from falling into the hands of greedy people! Do you think we're just decorations?"

Chapter 1074 Ancient Equipment

These words ignited a surge of patriotic fervor among everyone present. "That's right! That's right!" "We must protect our homeland! We cannot easily give up anything to the enemy!" Waves of cheers rose one after another, and everyone raised their fists to show their determination.

Noticing this change in circumstances, Liana frowned slightly but quickly regained her composure. "Since that's the case... then I'll just have to have my subordinates show everyone their true skills~ I hope they won't regret it~"

Having said that, several followers instantly rushed towards Zhao De and his companions from all directions; at the same time, several dark figures rapidly approached from the air…

The sudden attack, though anticipated, still caught everyone off guard. The men in black attacked ruthlessly, each move deadly, unlike their previous opponents. Chaos erupted instantly. Meanwhile, the paratroopers headed straight for the location deep within the village, suspected to be where the core was stored…

Just as everyone was fighting off the enemy, a thin child in a corner quietly slipped into a room and pressed a button on an old device with trembling fingers…

A faint but crystal-clear voice came from afar: "Warning: Security system activated. All intruders must leave immediately or face the consequences..."

Upon hearing the broadcast, Liana, who was smugly directing the battle, suddenly changed her expression: "Oh no! These guys are hiding a final trump card!" She turned to look at Zhao De and the others who were fighting fiercely against their men, a sense of worry rising in her heart—would this plan fail because of this?

However, Zhao De couldn't think about anything else at that moment; he just shouted firmly to his comrades, "Brothers and sisters, keep going! For our hometown, for our future! We must hold on to all of this!"

Before he finished speaking, a surge of immense energy gathered around him once more, and his eyes shone like the brightest star in the sky!

The village under the cover of night seemed shrouded in a mysterious and heavy atmosphere. The villagers gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes revealing determination and unyielding spirit. Liana stood opposite the crowd, a cold smile playing on her lips, her eyes conveying an unspeakable arrogance and threat.

The battle had reached a fever pitch. Several men in black swiftly closed in on Zhao De, their attacks ruthless. However, just as they thought they could easily subdue this resister, a series of light footsteps suddenly sounded from all around, followed by several young soldiers joining the fray. Their movements were clean and efficient, clearly those of well-trained soldiers. This unexpected reinforcement disrupted the men in black's advance and gave Zhao De some breathing room.

"Wow! Look at that young man over there, he's amazing!" exclaimed an older woman in the crowd, her voice filled with admiration and wonder. "He's practically a legendary hero reincarnated!"

Another young man excitedly chimed in, "That's right, I've never seen such a spectacular fight! Those men in black all look very strong, but our villagers are no pushovers either."

A thick atmosphere of tension filled the air, everyone on edge. In this tense atmosphere, an elderly woman's voice trembled slightly as she asked, "Where's the little girl? Didn't I hear her press some button? I hope she's alright..." The old woman's eyes were filled with worry.

Chapter 1075 Prepare for Battle

In a room not far away, a thin little girl stared at an old machine, her face covered in sweat. The numbers on the screen were rapidly counting down. "Hurry, just hold on a little longer, the rescue is coming soon..." she murmured to herself, her voice trembling with a hint of tears but filled with unwavering determination.

Just then, a roar filled the air as several small helicopters appeared in view, their lights instantly brightening the night. "They're finally here!" a middle-aged man exclaimed excitedly, his eyes following the beams of light with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness. "My God, this is something else! I never imagined we'd get support from the regular army," someone else in the crowd exclaimed.

At the same time, Zhao De seized this rare opportunity to quickly adjust his state, silently reciting an incantation in his mind, and the golden light surrounding him grew stronger. Feeling the support of his companions and the power of the newcomers, he became even more determined—no matter what, he could not let the enemy take away the most important treasure belonging to their homeland.

Seeing the enemy gradually gaining the upper hand, Liana's face turned ashen. "I really underestimated you... Humph!" She gritted her teeth and waved her hand, ordering her subordinates to speed up their attack in an attempt to reverse the tide. However, things clearly didn't go as she hoped; not only were the newly arrived soldiers constantly holding back her subordinates who had initially taken the initiative, but the sudden intervention of the army made things even more difficult for her...

Suddenly, the entire area fell silent, save for the occasional low hum reminding everyone that the crisis was not yet over. Just as everyone's attention was focused on how to fight off these enemies, a barely perceptible yet eerie aura began to rise from the edge of the distant forest…

"Hey buddy, what kind of place is this?" Two soldiers who had just landed on the outskirts of the village were exchanging ideas. One of them caught a glimpse of something unusual out of the corner of his eye, which immediately alerted his partner. "There seems to be something moving over there..."

Before the conversation was over, a figure flashed like a ghost across the treetops, heading straight for the center of the village. It was so fast that it wasn't noticed until it was almost inside the defensive perimeter. "Oh no! Another enemy attack!!" Screams shattered the brief silence.

This scene brought a smug smile to Liana's face: she had long ago laid her plans, prepared for any unforeseen circumstances. "Heh... the game has only just begun, don't give up so easily~" With that, the woman slowly raised a hand, gesturing to her lurking companions to unleash a full-scale attack...

Meanwhile, the situation on the other side, which had just stabilized somewhat after a fierce battle, seemed to be on the verge of collapse again...

As the ghostly figure rapidly approached, the atmosphere in the village reached a fever pitch once more. The villagers' initial confidence plummeted, and they nervously scanned their surroundings, searching for any potential threat. Just then, the soldier who had just arrived and was talking to his comrades suddenly jumped up: "Attention everyone! Unidentified target approaching at high speed! Prepare for battle!" His words were barely out of his mouth when he swiftly sounded the alarm and raised his gun, aiming at the approaching figure.

Chapter 1076 A Pure and Selfless Heart

"My God... what kind of monster is that?" a young villager asked, his voice filled with fear and doubt. His eyes reflected the blurry figure rapidly approaching, and his heart pounded with unease. However, everyone's attention was quickly drawn to this sudden crisis; even their breathing became rapid, as if an indescribable pressure filled the air, making them feel suffocated.

In that instant, Liana suddenly let out an extremely arrogant laugh. "Foolish humans," she said haughtily, "do you really think this game will be so simple?"
