Chu Chenxiao and the others continued their journey through the deep mountains, their steps hurried, their hearts filled with worry and uncertainty about the future.
Along the way, everyone remained silent, each pondering the old man's words.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, a narrow path appeared ahead, with trees growing on both sides, their branches and leaves lush and verdant, as if forming a natural barrier.
Xu Ruyu stopped and frowned, saying, "This path looks a bit strange. Let's be careful."
The group nodded and cautiously proceeded along the path.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, rustling the branches, as if something was secretly watching them.
Chu Chenxiao gripped the spirit pearl in his hand, feeling a faint surge of power.
Just then, a huge black bird flew out of the woods, spread its wings, let out a sharp cry, and swooped down toward Chen Xiao.
"Chen Xiao, be careful!" Xu Ruyu shouted, quickly waving the flute in her hand and playing a powerful sound wave.
The blackbird was hit by the sound wave, circled in the air a few times, and then swooped down on the group.
Seeing this, Chu Chenxiao activated the power of the Chaos Spirit Pearl, and a beam of light shot out from the pearl, striking the black bird.
The black bird let out a miserable cry, fell to the ground, struggled a few times, and then died.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and continued on their way.
Before long, they arrived at the foot of a valley.
A thin layer of mist permeated the valley, and mysterious sounds could be faintly heard from within it.
Chu Chenxiao frowned and said, "Something feels off here. Let's be careful."
Just then, a huge figure suddenly appeared in the valley.
The figure was like a giant, exuding a powerful aura.
The giant slowly walked towards the crowd, each step accompanied by a tremor in the ground.
Chu Chenxiao and the others immediately became alert and prepared for battle.
The giant approached the crowd, looked down at them, and a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes.
"You little brats, how dare you trespass into my territory!" The giant's voice was deep and resonant.
Xu Ruyu stepped forward and said, "We have no intention of offending you. We are just passing by. Please do us a favor, senior."
The giant sneered, "Hmph, just passing by? This isn't a place just anyone can come into."
Chu Chenxiao looked at the giant and said, "Senior, we just want to find a safe place to study the Chaos Spirit Pearl."
The giant's eyes flashed with surprise upon hearing the name of the Chaos Spirit Orb.
"The Chaos Spirit Orb? You actually possess the Chaos Spirit Orb."
The giant looked at the spirit pearl in Chu Chenxiao's hand with a greedy look in his eyes.
"Hand over the Spirit Pearl, and I may spare your lives," the giant said, extending his hand.
Chu Chenxiao gripped the Spirit Pearl tightly and said, "The Spirit Pearl is ours, and we will not give it to anyone."
Seeing this, the giant was furious and said, "If you won't listen to reason, then don't blame me for being impolite."
After saying that, the giant swung his enormous fist and smashed it down on the crowd.
Chu Chenxiao and the others quickly dodged, and the giant's fist slammed into the ground with a loud bang.
Using the power of the Chaos Spirit Pearl, Chu Chenxiao unleashed a powerful spell, attacking the giant.
The giant was struck by the spell, his body swayed a few times, and then he lunged at the group again.
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle. The giant's strength was immense, and Chu Chenxiao and the others gradually began to struggle.
Just then, Ning Yuyuan suddenly discovered the giant's weakness. Taking advantage of a gap in the giant's attack, she ran behind the giant and stabbed the giant's leg with her sword.
The giant, in pain, let out a roar and turned to pounce on Ning Yuyuan.
Chu Chenxiao seized the opportunity and used the power of the Chaos Spirit Pearl to unleash an even more powerful spell, which struck the giant.
The giant finally collapsed to the ground, unable to hold on any longer.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the giant's corpse, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.
After this battle, Chu Chenxiao and the others became even more determined to find a solution to the Chaos Spirit Orb problem.
They continued their journey deep into the mountains, searching for a way to completely seal the power of the Chaos Spirit Orb.
