When the giant spider slowly descended from the top of the cave, Su Xi, Su Ningyu and Lin Yanjun all gasped. The spider had a huge body, long hairy legs, and white spider silk spewed out of its mouth.

"Be careful!" Su Xi warned loudly.

They retreated quickly, but the spider kept pressing forward. Just as they were about to start a fierce battle with the spider, a bright light suddenly flashed in the cave.

As the light appeared, a mysterious figure appeared in front of them. This person was wearing a black robe and a mask, so his face could not be seen clearly.

The mysterious man waved a magic wand in his hand and muttered something. A powerful magical force shot out from the magic wand and hit the spider directly. The spider screamed and turned to flee into the depths of the cave.

"Are you all right?" The mysterious man's voice was low and magnetic.

Su Xi looked at him warily: "Who are you? Why are you helping us?"

The mysterious man smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, little girl. I'm just a kind person passing by. When I saw you were in danger, I couldn't help but help you."

Su Ningyu stepped forward and said, "Thank you anyway. But it's dangerous here, you'd better leave quickly."

The mysterious man shook his head and said, "I know you will encounter many difficulties on your way to finding the magic book. Maybe I can help you."

Lin Yanjun looked at him suspiciously: "Why should we believe you?"

The mysterious man took out a jade pendant from his arms calmly: "This jade pendant can prove my identity."

Su Xi took the jade pendant, examined it carefully, and found a special symbol engraved on it. She seemed to have seen this symbol in some ancient legend.

"Could it be that you are..." Su Xi said in surprise.

The mysterious man nodded: "Yes, I am the messenger who protects this land."

Although they still had doubts in their hearts, the current situation made them decide to trust the mysterious man for the time being.

"Then can you tell us how to bring the magic book back safely?" Su Xi asked.

The mysterious man thought for a moment and said, "There are spies of the dark forces everywhere outside. If you leave in such a high-profile manner, you will definitely encounter danger again. I know a secret passage that can help you avoid them."

So, under the guidance of the mysterious man, they walked along a narrow passage. There was a pungent smell in the passage, and water dripped from the wall from time to time.

"Everyone be careful, there may be a trap here." The mysterious man warned.

As soon as he finished speaking, many spikes suddenly appeared on the ground. The mysterious man quickly cast a spell and turned the spikes into ashes.

They continued to move forward and finally walked out of the passage and came to a quiet valley.

"Just keep going forward from here and you will reach a safe place." said the mysterious man.

Su Xi looked at him gratefully: "Thank you, if it weren't for you, we don't know what to do."

The mysterious man smiled and said, "This is my duty. But you must remember that the dark forces will not give up easily. You must be careful."

After saying this, the mysterious man disappeared.

Su Xi and his companions followed the direction pointed by the mysterious man and the journey was relatively smooth. However, when they were about to reach their destination, they found a group of dark shadows blocking their way.

"They are from the dark forces!" Su Ningyu said.

"Get ready for battle!" Lin Yanjun clenched the weapon in his hand.

Su Xi took a deep breath and raised the artifact...
