After a fierce and thrilling battle, the monsters finally succumbed to the combined attack of Lin Yu and Suna and began to flee. Like stray dogs, they tucked their tails between their legs as they fled deeper into the forest, disappearing into the darkness in the blink of an eye. Lin Yu and Suna breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the monsters retreat, but they both knew this was only a temporary victory; greater dangers might lie ahead.
"These monsters must be controlled to stop us. It seems our search for the gem has attracted the attention of certain forces." Lin Yu said solemnly, wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead. His eyes revealed worry, knowing that the journey ahead would be even more difficult.
Suna nodded vigorously, indicating that she fully agreed with Lin Yu's opinion: "Yes, we have to be more careful. However, since they are willing to send these monsters to stop us, it means that we have found the right direction. The gem must be crucial, and we must never give up." There was a firm light in Suna's eyes, and she was ready to face all difficulties.
After a brief rest and a slight recovery, the two men carefully and meticulously read through the Mirror Casting Notes, searching the yellowed pages and blurred handwriting for clues about the gems. Finally, on the last few pages, they came across some extremely vague entries. The notes mentioned five gems hidden in five mysterious locations in the forest, each marked with a unique landmark. One of these locations was described as "beneath the ancient twin trees, a secret passage leading to a hidden treasure, where the gems lay dormant."
"It seems we have to find these ancient twin trees first. I just don't know where they are in this forest." Lin Yu frowned, a hint of confusion in his eyes. This forest was so vast that finding the legendary twin trees was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Suna pondered for a moment, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes, and she said, "We can ask the villagers. They have lived here for a long time, maybe someone knows."
Lin Yu and Suna carefully left the cave, carrying their notebooks, and headed towards the village. Once there, they found the old man they had come to for help. Lin Yu respectfully shared his notes about the twin trees with the old man, then eagerly asked if he knew their location.
After hearing this, the old man fell into deep thought. He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if trying to recall something. After a long moment, the old man slowly spoke, "I seem to have heard the older generation mention that deep in the mountains, there's a quiet valley with two huge ancient trees growing there. Their branches and leaves are intertwined, and from a distance, they look like a single tree. Perhaps, those are the twin trees you're looking for. However, I've heard that the valley is very eerie, with strange noises often heard, and few dare to go there." The old man's voice was low and hoarse, as if he were telling an ancient and mysterious legend, which sent a chill down Lin Yu and Suna's spine.
Lin Yu and Suna exchanged a look, their eyes filled with determination. "No matter how dangerous it is, we have to give it a try," Lin Yu said firmly, his eyes revealing fearless courage.
They bid farewell to the old man and embark on a journey filled with uncertainty and danger once again, preparing to venture into the mountains and forests once more in search of the mysterious twin trees. What dangers and challenges await them? And what unknown secrets do the five gems hold? Everything remains uncertain, but Lin Yu and Suna are ready for it all. With unwavering faith in their hearts, like two fearless warriors, they resolutely set out into the mountains, teeming with mystery and peril.
Lin Yu thought to himself: "There are many difficulties along the way, but in order to unlock the seal of the bronze mirror and save this place, we must move forward bravely. That strange valley may be the key to solving the mystery. No matter what is waiting for us ahead, I can't retreat. I must protect Suna and complete the mission." Suna also silently made up her mind in her heart: "Face it with Lin Yu, no matter what I encounter, I will never retreat. I must find the gem and complete the mission. We will definitely be able to overcome all difficulties and restore peace to this forest." With this firm belief, they took solid steps and once again strode towards the unknown forest to meet the upcoming challenges.
