"Senior, what is that sound?" Lin Yue asked, her voice trembling.
"It's the Divine Beast guarding this place; it has sensed your presence and wants to prevent you from acquiring the Ancient Power," the black-robed figure said.
"What should we do then?" Shen Jingqi clenched his fists, filled with tension and unease.
"Don't be afraid. This is part of the special training. Only by defeating it can you truly grasp the Ancient Power."
The roar grew closer, as though countless beasts were closing in on them. Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue clung tightly to each other, watching their surroundings warily. Suddenly, a black shadow darted through the thick mist, lunging at them.
