Just as expected, as they were moving forward cautiously, a black shadow suddenly sprang out of the mist, pouncing towards them.
Luo Chen reacted swiftly, wielding his longsword, and a sword light instantly sliced through the air, colliding with the shadow.
"Bang!"
With a loud crash, the shadow was struck by the sword light and flew backward, revealing its true form—a pitch-black demonic beast.
This demonic beast had crimson eyes and exposed fangs, evidently a ferocious spiritual beast.
"This is only the beginning. There are stronger guardians ahead." The middle-aged man's voice rang out again, reminding them to stay vigilant.
Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with determination.
They knew that only by passing this trial could they have a chance to vie for that Spirit Stone.
Thus, they continued forward, encountering various guardians along the way—ferocious demonic beasts, eerie illusions, and powerful formation traps.
