Princess Lily Arrives

The night in the palace seems to be more mysterious and dangerous than the day. Lily, Princess Xiao Li and Ye Ying have just returned from a thrilling rescue operation, but they are not relaxed, because new challenges are waiting not far away.

One day, news came from the palace about a forbidden area called "Dragon Pond". It was said that there were many secrets of the palace hidden there, and even the emperor dared not easily set foot there. But recently, there were rumors that some strange phenomena of unknown origin seemed to appear in Dragon Pond, and many people in the palace felt uneasy. Lily was determined to find out the truth.

At night, Lily quietly set out with Xiao Li and Ye Ying, heading straight for Longtan. When they were about to set off, a familiar voice came: "Take me with you!"

They turned around and saw that it was Zhang San. Zhang San said with a firm look on his face: "I owe you a favor, please let me go with you this time."

Lily nodded: "Okay, let's go together."

The entrance to Longtan was blocked by a heavy stone door. Ye Ying used his agility to quickly crack the lock. The four of them filed in and walked into the deep passage. There were ancient oil lamps hanging on both sides of the passage, and the dim light stretched the shadows.

"Be careful, this place gives me an ominous feeling." Xiao Li said in a low voice.

They continued to move forward, and soon, they saw an open cave in front of them, with a bottomless well in the middle of the cave. Suddenly, a strange light came from the well, and the four of them were attracted by the light and involuntarily moved closer.

"What's in this well?" Zhang San looked around curiously.

Ye Ying held him back: "Don't act rashly, we don't know the source of this light yet."

As they hesitated by the well, they suddenly heard a deep laugh: "Finally, someone dares to break in."

The four of them turned around suddenly and saw a mysterious man in a black robe appearing at the entrance of the cave. His face was hidden under the hood, so his features could not be seen clearly, but his eyes were flashing with a cold light.

"Who are you?" Lily demanded.

The black-robed man sneered: "I am the guardian of this dragon pond. Anyone who dares to enter without permission must accept my test."

"What test?" Xiao Li asked bravely.

The man in black robes did not answer, but waved his hand, and suddenly several huge mechanical puppets appeared in the cave. These puppets were made of metal and wood, and exuded a cold aura.

"Get ready for battle!" Yeying drew out his sword and stood in front of Lily.

The battle was about to start, the mechanical puppets pounced on them, and the four people immediately started a fierce confrontation. Lily used her agility and quick reaction to cooperate with Xiao Li and Ye Ying, and Zhang San was not to be outdone, and bravely joined the battle, showing amazing strength.

However, the number of puppets seemed endless, and the four gradually felt overwhelmed. At this moment, Lily had an idea: "We can't just fight hard, we must find the core that controls these puppets!"

Yeying nodded in agreement: "Good idea, split up and search!"

The four of them quickly dispersed and began to search for the control core in the cave. Lily swiftly shuttled between the puppets and spotted a hidden mechanism. She twisted it hard and the puppet stopped immediately.

The black-robed man snorted when he saw this, "You are indeed quite capable, but this is only the first test."

After saying that, he waved his hand and released another dazzling light. The scene in the cave suddenly changed. The four people found themselves in a dense forest, surrounded by unknown dangers.

"This is an illusion!" Zhang San exclaimed.

Lily analyzed calmly: "We must find the flaw in the illusion in order to escape."

The four people struggled forward in the illusion, experienced all kinds of strange tests and dangers, but never gave up. Lily's wit and courage, Xiao Li's humor and optimism, Ye Ying's calmness and tenacity, and Zhang San's tenacity and courage finally allowed them to find a hidden exit.

They finally escaped from the illusion and returned to the cave. The man in black robe seemed quite satisfied with their performance: "You have passed the test. Next, it's time to uncover the true secret of the Dragon Pond."

The black-robed man led them to the well and whispered a spell. The light in the well gradually disappeared, revealing a staircase leading to a deeper place. The four of them no longer hesitated and followed the black-robed man down the stairs and entered a huge underground palace.

In the center of the palace, there is a crystal emitting a mysterious light. The man in black robes explained: "This crystal has the power to predict the future, but only those with justice in their hearts can unlock its power."

Lily walked forward and gently touched the crystal, and suddenly, pictures of the future emerged in her mind. She saw the upcoming turmoil and crisis, but also saw hope and solutions.

"This is the secret of Longtan," the man in black robe said, "Now, the choice is in your hands."

Lily nodded firmly: "We will use this power to protect justice and peace."

The man in black robe smiled with satisfaction: "Then I feel relieved."

With a flash of light, the four were teleported back to the palace garden. Although this adventure was full of dangers and challenges, they also gained infinite strength and faith from it.

"Princess, the future will definitely be better because we work hard together." Zhang San said with emotion.

Lily smiled and nodded: "Yes, let's protect this world together."

Yeying and Xiao Li also expressed their agreement, and the four of them took every step towards the future with determination in the afterglow of the setting sun.
