The chamber was filled with the pungent smell of blood, the lingering scent of battle and death. Luo Chen's sacrifice weighed heavily on everyone's heart, but they had no time to dwell on their grief, for they knew that Luo Chen's last wish had not yet been fulfilled, and the clue to the Secret Key of Spring was still hidden within this ancient tome.
Lu Ming and Master Fu Hai once again leaned over the tome, their eyes filled with solemnity and concentration. Every character felt like Luo Chen's instruction, carrying immense weight. Lu Ming's fingers gently brushed across the yellowed pages, his voice trembling slightly. "Senior, Luo Chen sacrificed his life to secure for us the opportunity to continue our search. We must uncover the key clues within this tome." Master Fu Hai nodded slightly, his eyes gleaming with fatigue and determination. "Indeed, we must not let Luo Chen's sacrifice go to waste."
Lin Yu stood aside, looking at the book, Luo Chen's voice and smile kept appearing in his mind. His heart was full of self-blame and guilt. He clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged: "Luo Chen, don't worry, even if it costs my life, I will find the secret key of spring." Su Yao walked gently to his side and held his hand. Her palm was full of sweat, and her voice was choked with sobs: "Lin Yu, let's go together. I will always be with you." Lin Yu turned his head to look at her, a trace of tenderness and gratitude flashed in his eyes: "Thank you, Su Yao, because you are here, I have the courage to continue."
Xiao Yi leaned against the wall of the secret room, unconsciously wiping his weapon with his hand, his eyes empty and confused. Luo Chen's death was a huge blow to him. The passionate partner who had fought side by side with him was no longer alive. "Luo Chen, I feel empty inside now that you're gone." He murmured in a low voice, his voice filled with loneliness. Suddenly, he gripped his weapon tightly, and his eyes rekindled his fighting spirit: "But don't worry, I will definitely help you fulfill your wish and find the secret key of spring."
You Qianxue and Bing Ling'er snuggled up to each other. Bing Ling'er's eyes were red and swollen, and her voice was filled with tears: "Sister, I'm so scared. Brother Luo Chen is gone. Can we still find the secret key to spring?" You Qianxue gently stroked her hair and tried to calm herself: "Don't be afraid, sister. Brother Luo Chen used his life to guide us. We must be strong and we will definitely find it." Although her voice was firm, her heart was full of anxiety and fear.
The man in red stood quietly at the chamber's entrance, his eyes like the coldest stars in the night sky, warily observing everything around him. He held a single conviction: to protect his remaining companions and complete Luo Chen's unfinished work. He recalled the life-or-death moments he and Luo Chen had shared, those memories of fighting side by side, and now they all became the strength of his protection. "As long as I breathe, I will not let the dark forces harm us again," he vowed silently.
A mysterious figure stood aside, his eyes deep and complex. He surveyed the crowd, his heart filled with emotion. Luo Chen's sacrifice had made him realize that the quest for the Key to Spring would be far more arduous than he had imagined. "Everyone, we must hasten our progress. The forces of darkness will not give us much time. Luo Chen's sacrifice is our driving force. We must carry his hope and continue on our journey." His voice was deep and powerful, seemingly penetrating the walls of the chamber and reaching into the unknown distance.
Just as everyone was immersed in grief and determination, the floor of the secret room suddenly began to shake, and cracks spread rapidly like a spider web. "Oh no, another change!" Lin Yu shouted, quickly drawing his weapon. Everyone became alert and took fighting stances.
The ground slowly cracked, and a massive black shadow rose from the cracks. This shadow was larger than any they had encountered before, emanating a thick, dark aura that sent shivers down their spines. "Foolish humans, how dare you trespass here? You will all become my sacrifice!" The shadow roared, a roar like rolling thunder, piercing their eardrums.
Lin Yu's eyes revealed determination and resoluteness. He gripped his sword tightly and shouted, "Everyone be careful, this enemy is very strong, but we must not retreat! For Luo Chen, for the Secret Key of Spring, we must fight!" Everyone responded, their eyes filled with determination and anger.
Su Yao quickly gathered her spiritual power, and the light flashed in her hands, more dazzling than ever. She had only one belief in her heart: to avenge Luo Chen and protect Lin Yu and everyone. "Lin Yu, I'm here to help you!" She shouted loudly, and the spiritual power balls in her hands shot towards the black shadow like meteors.
Lin Yu brandished his sword, a sharp light flashing on the blade. He leaped high and stabbed at the shadow's head. "Die!" He roared, and the sword stabbed at the shadow with endless anger and determination. However, the shadow lightly waved its claws and knocked Lin Yu back several feet.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi immediately rushed forward, brandishing his weapon with great vigor, each strike carrying a tremendous force. "Don't be so arrogant, wait and see how I deal with you!" He roared loudly, trying to attract the shadow's attention.
Lu Ming and Master Fu Hai were at the rear, using their spiritual energy to provide shields for everyone. Lu Ming's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. While maintaining the shield, he quickly thought of a countermeasure. "Senior, the power of this black shadow is too strong. We must find its weakness, otherwise it will be difficult to win." He said anxiously. Master Fu Hai clasped his hands together, muttering something, and spiritual energy continued to flow into the shield: "I will do my best to maintain the shield, you must find a solution as soon as possible."
You Qianxue and Bing Ling'er coordinated their efforts, releasing icy spiritual energy in an attempt to slow the shadow's movements. You Qianxue's face was pale, her spiritual energy nearly exhausted, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted, "Bing Ling'er, we can't give up. We must avenge Luo Chen!" Bing Ling'er nodded vigorously. Despite her fear, she mustered her courage and released even more spiritual energy.
