"You shouldn't be here, leave quickly." The mysterious man said in a low voice, as if the voice came from the depths of the Nine Nether Hell, with a chilling coldness and majesty, as if every word contained an order that could not be disobeyed.
"Who are you? Mind your own business! We're chasing someone, don't get in our way," the gruff voice shouted. Though outwardly tough, a hint of unease lingered in his voice. Faced with this sudden, mysterious figure, they couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
The mysterious man didn't respond, but slowly raised his hand, and a black mist instantly appeared within it. The mist swirled and surged within his grasp, like a living being, emitting an eerie and alluring light. The pursuers' fear intensified upon seeing this scene, yet they were unwilling to abandon their prey.
"Brothers, don't be afraid. He is just one person. There are so many of us. Are we still afraid of him? Go!" The owner of the sharp voice shouted, trying to boost morale with words, but his trembling voice still revealed his inner fear.
At his instigation, the pursuers surged forward, charging towards the mysterious figure. Their figures loomed in the mist, like a pack of frantic beasts, intent on devouring the mysterious figure. The mysterious figure remained calm, a hint of disdain in his eyes. He thrust the black mist in his hand forward fiercely. The mist instantly spread like a surging tide, enveloping the pursuers in the blink of an eye.
The pursuers let out shrill screams in the mist, the sound echoing through the forest, chilling the very bones. The mist seemed to possess some mysterious power, constantly eroding their bodies and minds. Soon, the pursuers collapsed, their limbs twitching, and then they lost consciousness, lying quietly on the ground, as if their souls had been drained away.
Lin Yu and Suna, hiding in the thorn bushes, witnessed this thrilling scene with a mixture of surprise and gratitude. They were amazed at the mysterious man's immense strength, and grateful for his help at a critical moment, temporarily escaping their desperate situation. After the mysterious man dealt with the pursuers, he pointed toward the thorn bushes and said, "Come out! They're gone." His voice remained low and calm, as if what had just happened was a trivial matter.
Lin Yu and Suna carefully emerged from the thorn bushes and looked at the mysterious man, their hearts filled with confusion and curiosity. "Thank you for your help, Senior. I wonder why you are helping us?" Lin Yu asked respectfully, bowing slightly, his eyes revealing sincere gratitude and a hint of inquiry.
The mysterious man raised his head slightly, revealing a pair of deep, abyssal eyes. His gaze slowly swept over Lin Yu and Suna, as if he could see into their souls. "I, too, have a connection to the secret of this gem, and I don't want it to fall into the hands of those with ill intentions. You may continue your search for the gem, but be careful. The dangers ahead are far greater than you imagine." With that, the mysterious man turned and prepared to leave, his black robe rustling in the wind.
"Senior, could you tell us a little more about the gems?" Suna asked eagerly, her eyes full of anticipation. She knew that knowing more about the gems might help her avoid some detours on her subsequent search and increase her chances of success.
The mysterious man paused and remained silent for a moment, as if considering whether to reveal more. After a long pause, he slowly spoke, "These gems hold the key to an ancient seal. If gathered by those with ill intentions, they would unleash a catastrophe powerful enough to destroy the entire world. Take care of yourselves." With that, the mysterious man vanished into the mist like a black whirlwind, leaving Lin Yu and Suna standing there, their minds racing.
Lin Yu and Suna stared in the direction the mysterious man had vanished, their hearts pounding. They knew the search for the gems would only get harder, but they also understood the immense weight of their responsibility. "Let's continue on our journey. We must find the remaining gems before anyone else and prevent this disaster," Lin Yu declared firmly, his eyes brimming with determination, as if announcing their resolve to the world.
Suna nodded vigorously in agreement, her eyes filled with determination. "Okay, no matter what difficulties we face, we'll face them together." The two set out again on their quest for the gems, their steps firm and powerful. What dangers would they encounter in this misty forest? Could they successfully find the remaining gems and prevent the impending disaster? Everything was uncertain, waiting for them to explore, and like two fearless warriors, they resolutely stepped forward into the unknown challenge.
Lin Yu thought to himself: "Who is this mysterious man? What is his connection with the secret of the gem? It seems that there is a bigger mystery behind the search for the gem. No matter what, in order to prevent the disaster, we must complete the mission. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, we will never retreat." Suna was also thinking in her heart: "The mysterious man is right, there are many dangers ahead, but we can't retreat. We must find the gem with Lin Yu and unravel all the secrets. Even at the cost of our lives, we will not hesitate." With firm belief, they continued to move forward in the forest. Every step was full of unknowns, but their eyes were full of fearless courage. They met the unknown challenges and walked towards the depths of their destiny.
