"Old Orange, you didn't see it wrong, did you?" The bitter old woman didn't quite believe it. "How could Bitch Hill be connected to Heroes Hill?"

The old man in the orange orchard sighed and said, "I am not good at fighting, but I am good at asking questions of the land. The land will not lie. There are some things that one or two cubic meters of land may not be able to explain clearly, but hundreds of cubic meters of land can tell clearly.

...

###The Call of the Unknown

After strengthening the seal, Su Yao and Shan Chengjun decided to take a short break. However, just as they set up a temporary camp, a strange wave came from a distance. This wave was different from the remaining power of the Lord of Pro, but a more ancient and profound breath.

"What is this?" Shan Chengjun clenched his sword and looked around vigilantly.

Su Yao closed her eyes and used the wind element to sense the source of the fluctuation. After a moment, she opened her eyes with a serious expression: "It comes from the southeast, about two days away from us. I can't fully interpret this power, but it seems to have some connection with the Key of Creation."

Shan Chengjun frowned and said, "In that case, we'd better go and take a look. Perhaps there are important clues about the Lord of Pro."

The two packed up their luggage and set off in the direction of the wave. Along the way, the snowfield was gradually replaced by rolling mountains. The environment here was even more dangerous, the air was filled with biting cold, and every step seemed particularly difficult.

###Mysterious Cave

After a day and night of trekking, they finally arrived at the source of the fluctuations - a huge cave hidden in the belly of the mountain. The area around the cave entrance was covered with strange runes, which emitted a faint blue light, as if telling some ancient secrets.

"These runes..." Su Yao reached out and touched them gently. "They are older than the ones we saw in the temple. It seems that there are indeed unknown secrets here."

Shan Chengjun nodded: "It's better to be careful. We don't know what we will encounter in there."

After entering the cave, the two were shocked by the scene in front of them. The interior of the cave was like an underground palace, with towering stone pillars supporting the dome and the ground covered with smooth bluestone bricks. In the center, there stood a huge altar with a crystal clear gem on it.

"What is that?" Shan Chengjun pointed to the gem on the altar.

Su Yao walked forward and looked at the gem carefully. "This is a core of life, which is said to be able to give life to all things. But why is it here?"

At this moment, the runes around the altar suddenly lit up, and the entire cave began to vibrate. A deep voice came from all directions: "Mortals, you should not disturb its slumber."

###The Trial of the Guardian of Life

As the voice ended, a figure made of pure energy slowly emerged. It was a woman in a green robe, with the light of life flashing in her eyes.

"I am the guardian of life in this land." The woman said, "You have entered my territory and must be tested. Only by passing the test can you gain the recognition of the Core of Life."

Su Yao and Shan Chengjun looked at each other, knowing that they could not escape this challenge. The guardian waved his hands, and countless vines and thorns suddenly emerged in the cave, surrounding the two.

The battle broke out instantly. Su Yao controlled the wind element to form a whirlwind, trying to cut off the growing vines. However, these plants seemed to have their own consciousness and could always avoid attacks at critical moments.

Shan Chengjun used his sword skills to cut through the thorns that blocked his way, while protecting Su Yao from attack. Despite this, their progress was still slow, because after each vine fell, a new vine would quickly fill the gap.

Just when the two were in trouble, Su Yao suddenly realized that the key to this battle was not to destroy these plants, but to find their roots. She closed her eyes and concentrated on sensing the direction of the flow of life force.

"Quick! Over there!" Su Yao pointed to a crack under the altar.

Shan Chengjun understood what he meant and quickly rushed to the crack, stabbing it fiercely with his long sword. With a loud bang, all the vines withered instantly, and the entire cave returned to peace.

The guardian smiled with satisfaction: "You have proven your wisdom and courage. The core of life will belong to you."

###The Secret of the Core of Life

When Su Yao took over the core of life, a warm energy poured into her body. She felt an unprecedented vitality awakening.

"This power... can be used to repair the scars of the Eternal Ice Field." Su Yao said in surprise.

Shan Chengjun nodded: "Not only that, maybe it can also help us completely purify the remaining power of Lord Pro."

With the core of life, the two returned to the Eternal Icefield. They integrated the core of life into the core of the magic circle, and the already stable seal became even stronger. At the same time, the ecology of the entire icefield began to quietly recover, and a little green appeared under the ice and snow.

"It seems that our efforts have not been in vain." Su Yao said with emotion.

Shan Chengjun remained vigilant: "Although it seems safe now, we can't let our guard down. The threat from Lord Pro has not completely disappeared."

New Enemies

Just when the two thought everything was settled, a black crack suddenly appeared in the sky. A man covered in black mist walked out of it. His eyes were cold and he exuded a suffocating aura.

"Do you think you can stop Lord Pro in this way?" The man sneered, "Foolish human, you will never understand the true power."

Su Yao and Shan Chengjun immediately entered combat mode. The man waved his arms, and countless shadow arrows rained down. Su Yao released a wind wall to block, while Shan Chengjun took the opportunity to rush towards the other party.

However, the man's strength was far beyond their imagination. Each of his attacks contained destructive power, even causing the earth to tremble.

"Who is he?" Shan Chengjun asked, panting.

Su Yao shook her head: "I don't know, but his power is obviously related to the Lord of Pro."

Facing a strong enemy, the two had to use all their strength. Su Yao summoned a strong wind to sweep around, trying to limit the opponent's range of action. Shan Chengjun used the power of the core of life to transform the long sword into a blazing light, directly pressing the man's vital point.

Finally, after a fierce collision, the man roared and his body turned into black smoke and dissipated. However, before he left, he left a meaningful sentence: "This is just the beginning, the Lord of Pro will return!"

Looking Ahead

After the battle, Su Yao and Shan Chengjun sat on the ice field to rest. They knew that this victory was only a short respite.

"What should we do next?" Shan Chengjun asked.

Su Yao looked up and looked into the distance: "We need to find more clues about the Lord of Pro. Only by thoroughly understanding its nature can we truly defeat it."

So, they set out on their journey again, heading towards an unknown world. Their legend is still being written.
