Han Lin clenched his fists and said, "Since it's for the good of this land, then let's fight them to the death! We can't let them harm more innocent people."
Zhao De patted his friend on the shoulder to encourage him, while Leia added, "However, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. Let's learn more about this opponent."
Just then, a young man dressed as a villager quietly approached the three of them and whispered, "I heard that these outside guardians are very powerful! Similar groups have come to investigate before, but they all returned empty-handed... I didn't expect that this time they would directly seek cooperation with the young people in our village!" His words were full of admiration and longing.
Another older woman chimed in, "That's right! Young lady, look at how impressive you are! We don't usually see that kind of person! Sigh, I'm getting old, I can't go on missions with you anymore."
Faced with the supportive and expectant gazes from all sides, Lin Yu interrupted the discussion: "Thank you all very much for your warm hospitality and support, but time is of the essence now, so please let us discuss countermeasures as soon as possible!"
After a brief meeting, it was decided to split up: several experienced members would scout the perimeter, while Han Lin, Zhao De, and others would accompany several senior members to gather information near the enemy stronghold. The scholar volunteered to stay behind to study how to unlock the secret of the 'Forbidden Land'.
As they were parting, the little girl tugged at Zhao De's clothes, reluctant to let him go, and asked, "Big brother, are you really leaving? You'll encounter very dangerous things, won't you? Can you please not go...?"
"Don't worry, little girl, your brother will be back soon with some delicious food for you!" Zhao De comforted her with a gentle smile. "And we'll take good care of ourselves, won't we, Han Lin?"
"Yes! I'll definitely come back safely and tell you wonderful stories." Feeling the trust in his companion's eyes, Han Lin smiled and made a promise.
Meanwhile, on the way to their destination, the villagers continued their lively discussion: "Look how brave and handsome these people are! They're like gods descended to save us all! Especially that female captain, she's stunningly beautiful and incredibly skilled..."
As the group gradually disappeared into the vast darkness, the figure hidden in the shadows nodded slightly and whispered, "The game is about to begin..." A cold smile appeared on his lips, and then he turned and disappeared into the boundless darkness, leaving the world with only an unknown and perilous aura.
All of this was observed by another pair of eyes following closely behind. "Hmph, I knew it—there are other forces eyeing this from the shadows!" the mysterious figure thought to himself, deciding to share this discovery with the others. "This game is getting more and more interesting..." A series of crisp, loud footsteps gradually faded into the quiet night...

Chapter 957 Ancient.
As night completely enveloped the earth, Han Lin and his group walked through the dense forest, the night breeze gently brushing their cheeks, bringing a slight coolness.
The surroundings were so quiet that only the chirping of insects and the beating of my own heart could be heard.
Zhao De gripped his longsword tightly, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily. "Hey, do you think there are really that many people here?" he whispered to Han Lin beside him. "It feels a bit too quiet, doesn't it?"
Han Lin frowned slightly and replied, "The enemy may already be on guard; we must be extra careful."
Just then, light footsteps came from not far away, followed by a few whispers.
The group immediately stopped and hid. Through the shadows of the trees, they could see several figures dressed in black robes discussing something not far ahead.
“The outpost should be just ahead,” one of them said.
Another person chimed in, "This operation absolutely cannot fail, or none of us will escape unscathed! That mysterious organization has been watching us for far too long... I heard they've even brought some new helpers."
Listening to their conversation, Zhao De couldn't help but chuckle softly, "Looks like we've arrived at just the right time."
At this moment, a senior team member gestured to the others to continue forward, and the group immediately quickened their pace and approached the target area.
Soon after, they arrived at a small, secluded valley.
Just as everyone was preparing to explore further, a loud boom suddenly came from the mountain.
Dozens of fully armed members of the Dark Council surged out from the other side of the hillside. The leader raised his arms and shouted, "Seize those uninvited guests!"
The battle erupted instantly. Han Lin brandished his sword and engaged in fierce combat with his charging opponents.
On the other side, Zhao De also joined the battle, not to be outdone. "Hey, brothers, keep it up!" he shouted, encouraging those around him as he fought.
At this moment, the scholar studying ancient books inside the cave frowned slightly, as if he had encountered a problem.
“The rune combinations here are too ancient and complex... Isn’t there a simpler way to decipher them?” Just as he was feeling a headache coming on, a small hand handed him a glass of water.
"Thank you, young lady. You should go back and rest now," he said softly.
The young people in the village gathered together to closely monitor the developments and changes in the outside world.
"How are they now?" a young man asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, we'll definitely be able to solve everything smoothly!" another girl said confidently. "After all, there are so many capable people there!"
Just as the battle reached its climax, someone suddenly swooped down from the sky and joined the melee.
"Hahahaha, I've finally found you!" It was Leia.
"I secretly followed them for several kilometers before discovering this place! Everyone, quickly take advantage of the chaos and rush inside to find out what's going on!"
She laughed as she swung her long whip at the surrounding enemies, instantly turning the tide of the previously stalemate.
Just as the situation was slightly in their favor, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky, shattering a huge rock at the mouth of the valley.
After the smoke cleared, a terrifying figure shrouded in lightning appeared in the sky above the battlefield—the true mastermind behind that group of dark forces.

"How interesting...so many people have come all this way for this land..." he said with a hint of mockery. "But please enjoy an even more spectacular show."
All eyes were focused on this suddenly powerful being, and the atmosphere became unusually tense.
"What the hell is that?!" Zhao De shouted in surprise, staring at the figure above his head.
"Calm down and focus on the challenge at hand!" Lin Yu quickly gave the order and directed the entire team to adjust their posture to meet the enemy.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Han Lin questioned the other party.
Meanwhile, in the distance, the mysterious figure who had been tracking and monitoring the overall situation slowly emerged from the shadows, revealing his true form.
"The game has officially begun." A sly smile crept onto his lips again. "However... the rules might become a little more complicated..."
With this sudden turn of events, the whole situation began to develop in an unpredictable direction...
-
Zhao De, still panting, stared at the seemingly invincible figure standing in the air and couldn't help but gasp.
"Who is this guy... how can he have such power?!"
Leia gritted her teeth and looked at the people around her: "No matter what, we can't give up! Even if we face many unknowns, we must persevere until we win!"
Han Lin nodded, his gaze resolute: "That's right, we have so many partners who trust and support us waiting for good news... so we can't afford to lose no matter what!"
Lin Yu's sharp gaze was fixed on the mysterious figure in the air, his mind racing as he quickly considered his options. At this moment, every action could determine the fate of the entire team.
"Everyone, proceed according to plan!"
He gave a loud command, then gestured to Zhao De and the others, who immediately understood—it was one of the emergency response strategies they had previously discussed. At the same time, Leia had already summoned her specially made bow and arrow, aiming at the enemy, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment; Han Lin quietly retreated to the side, searching for the best angle to attack, attempting to catch them off guard; while the mysterious figure in the distance remained motionless, coldly observing everything, seemingly in no hurry to intervene in the current course of the battle…
Just as everyone was poised to attack, the powerful figure in mid-air slowly raised his right hand and gently tapped it in the air:
"Let me show you true power."
As soon as the words left his mouth, a cloud of black mist instantly condensed and rushed towards the group. Trees withered and collapsed in its path, and even the air seemed to solidify, becoming unusually heavy. Seeing this, Leia decisively pulled the trigger, firing dozens of magically enhanced arrows, which vanished without a trace, as if they had disappeared into the sea… Immediately afterward, Han Lin followed up with his most skilled sword aura strike, but similarly failed to inflict any real damage on his opponent!
Seeing the situation become extremely critical, the mysterious figure, who had been silently observing the battle without making a move, suddenly stepped forward and began chanting an ancient incantation, placing his hands clasped in front of his chest in a prayerful gesture. Instantly, the dark aura that had been shrouding the area began to crack, gradually expanding outwards to form ripples of light that spread outwards… This sudden change astonished everyone, especially the uninvited guest high above, who couldn't help but frown slightly in bewilderment.
Chapter 959 Important Clues
Chapter 959 Important Clues
Just as the situation reached a stalemate, Lin Yu suddenly remembered some important clues, "That symbol...could it be...?"
He quickly pulled out a small notebook from his pocket, flipped to a page with the recorded information, and after a moment of rapid comparison, his expression changed drastically. He hurriedly shouted, "Stop! This isn't a simple physical or magical attack; it's a soul-binding spell! We must sever this connection to truly defeat the enemy!"
Upon hearing this, the others immediately understood and stopped their actions to begin revising their tactical plan.
“So now the question is,” Zhao De said, wiping his brow, “how should we break this so-called ‘soul chain’? Are we supposed to just fight it head-on?”
“It’s not that simple.” Leia shook her head and replied, “We need to find the key to activating this move first. Only then can we solve this problem at its root.”
At this moment, the mysterious person who had been observing the situation from the sidelines but remained silent spoke up:
"Actually, the solution isn't that complicated..."
As he finished speaking, a refreshing scent inexplicably filled the air. Everyone felt much more relaxed, and even the surrounding environment began to regain its vitality, displaying a vibrant scene.
"Look over there—" The mysterious person pointed to a hidden corner not far ahead, where a faint but very unique source of light could be seen.
Following the directions, they indeed discovered unusual spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from that location. "So that's it... that must be the core node!" Han Lin clenched his fist and said with a determined expression, "Now let's proceed according to the original plan."
Everyone nodded in agreement and quickly divided the tasks to prepare for the next phase of the battle plan. Leia raised her longbow again, adjusted her aim, and prepared to provide long-range fire support; Han Lin and Zhao De, each wielding a longsword and a short knife, approached the target from the left and right flanks, ready to launch a close-quarters charge; as for the mysterious mastermind behind the scenes, he silently stood guard, constantly watching for any unexpected situations to ensure the safety of the entire team.
Just when everything was ready except for the final touch, a deep, hoarse voice suddenly rang out in mid-air: "I didn't expect to be seen through like this... truly unexpected." Immediately afterward, a dazzling, blinding light flashed, shooting straight towards the center of the ground, attempting to destroy key components and disrupt the enemy's deployment...
Just as the plan was about to fail, at the critical moment, the powerful being who had been hiding his whereabouts finally stopped concealing his strength and stepped forward to block the energy beam emitted by the opponent's full power. The two collided and instantly triggered a spectacular explosion that shocked the entire audience, leaving them breathless and stunned!
"It seems things won't end so easily..." Zhao De sighed, panting. "Everyone, be prepared, we still have many challenges to overcome!"
Amidst the billowing smoke, Han Lin and Zhao De swiftly rushed towards the hidden corner, their steps firm and powerful. The lingering aftershocks in the air caused the surrounding trees to tremble, but they did not deter their determination to advance.
"Han Lin, are you ready for the challenge?" Zhao De asked half-jokingly, but his eyes were very serious.

Chapter 960 First Wave of Attack
"Aren't you just asking a question you already know the answer to?" Han Lin chuckled, the longsword in his hand gleaming coldly. "As long as you're here, no difficulty is a problem."
Although their conversation was relaxed, both knew in their hearts that this was no ordinary mission. As they approached their target, the faint but unique light became even more pronounced. Just as they were preparing to launch their final attack, a lithe, dark figure suddenly darted out from nearby and charged straight at them!
Meanwhile, Lin Yu and Leia, who were observing from a distance, also noticed the change. "Leia, something seems wrong!" Lin Yu whispered, immediately aiming his bow and arrow at the newly appeared target. "Looks like enemy reinforcements have arrived! Be careful."
