Crossing to Douqi Continent and walking sideways

After Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er escaped from the mysterious cave, they found a quiet valley as a temporary camp. Xiao Muchen sat on a big rock, concentrating on studying the ancient secret book he got from the sarcophagus, while Lin Wan'er sorted out their equipment and belongings.

"Senior Brother Xiao, can this secret book really help us defeat the Dark Alliance?" Lin Wan'er asked as she sorted it out.

Xiao Muchen raised his head, his eyes gleaming with determination: "As long as we study it carefully, we will be able to find a way to defeat the enemy."

After saying this, he immersed himself in the secret book again, his brows sometimes furrowed, sometimes relaxed, as if he was having a profound conversation with the wisdom in the secret book.

As time went by, Xiao Muchen's understanding of the secret book gradually deepened. The words in the secret book seemed to come alive, guiding the fighting spirit in his body to continue to circulate and gather. Suddenly, Xiao Muchen felt a powerful force surging in his body, and the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth also rushed towards him frantically.

Lin Wan'er looked at this scene in surprise, only to see a dazzling light emanating from Xiao Muchen's body, and his aura continued to rise.

"Senior Brother Xiao is about to break through!" Lin Wan'er said in surprise.

Xiao Muchen used all his strength to guide this force, constantly attacking his own bottleneck. Finally, with a loud bang, Xiao Muchen successfully broke through and reached the Douhuang realm.

"That's great, Senior Brother Xiao!" Lin Wan'er cheered.

Xiao Muchen felt the powerful force in his body and said confidently: "With this power, we are more likely to defeat the Dark Alliance."

Then, they followed the clues in the secret book and set out on a journey to find the source of power. Along the way, they passed through dense forests, climbed over steep mountains, and finally came to a mysterious swamp.

The swamp was filled with a pungent smell and the fog made it difficult to see the road ahead.

"Be careful, there may be danger hidden here." Xiao Muchen warned.

Lin Wan'er followed closely behind him, walking cautiously.

Suddenly, a low roar was heard from the swamp. A huge swamp monster rushed out of the mire. It was as big as a mountain, covered with sticky liquid and sharp barbs. The monster opened its bloody mouth, revealing sharp fangs, and a foul smell came out of its mouth.

Xiao Muchen was not afraid at all, and swung the Star Sword in his hand, slashing a sharp sword energy at the monster. The monster reacted very quickly, and easily avoided the sword energy by turning its body to the side. At the same time, its thick tail swept violently, raising a huge wave of mud and water, rushing towards Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er.

Xiao Muchen quickly protected Lin Wan'er behind him, circulated his fighting spirit, and formed a shield to block the impact of the mud and water.

Lin Wan'er took the opportunity to cast a spell, condensing a shining magic ball in her hand and throwing it towards the monster. The moment the magic ball touched the monster, it exploded and burst into brilliant light. The monster was beaten to pieces and roared angrily.

However, this did not seem to cause much harm to the monster, but instead angered it. The monster's eyes turned red, the barbs on its body stood up, and its four hooves slammed the ground, rushing towards them again.

Xiao Muchen's eyes focused, his fighting spirit burned fiercely, and the light on the Star Sword became brighter. He performed a move called "Star Splitting Sky Slash", and the whole person turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the monster.

The sword collided with the monster's body, making a harsh metal friction sound and sparks flying. The monster felt pain and struggled more frantically, grabbing Xiao Muchen with its sharp claws.

Xiao Muchen moved flexibly to avoid the monster's attacks, while constantly leaving deep sword marks on the monster's body.

Lin Wan'er was not idle either. She waved her hands and continuously released various spells to create opportunities for Xiao Muchen.

After a fierce fight, Xiao Muchen finally found the monster's weakness. He gathered all his fighting spirit into the Star Sword and stabbed the monster's heart with one sword.

The monster screamed, fell to the ground with a bang, and stirred up a pool of muddy water.

After defeating the monster, they continued to move forward in the swamp. After a difficult search, they finally found the first source of power.

This is a pool emitting blue light, and the water in the pool emits powerful energy fluctuations.

"Is this the source of power?" Lin Wan'er said in surprise.

Xiao Muchen nodded: "Yes, we have to find a way to absorb this power."

However, just as they were about to absorb the power, a group of Dark Alliance killers suddenly appeared around them.

"Haha, Xiao Muchen, don't even think about getting this power!" the leading killer sneered.

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er looked at each other and prepared for battle.

The killers used their dark fighting skills to attack them. Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er fought side by side and started a fierce battle with the killers.

Xiao Muchen's Star Sword danced in his hand like a flash of lightning, and every attack was deadly. Lin Wan'er's magic was also fully utilized, and the enemies fell one after another in the flash of light.

But the Dark Alliance's killers kept coming, and they gradually felt overwhelmed.

"This is not a solution. We must absorb the source of power as soon as possible!" Xiao Muchen shouted.

Lin Wan'er nodded, and the two of them resisted the enemy's attacks while approaching the source of power.

Finally, they arrived at the pool. Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er simultaneously practiced their skills and began to absorb the energy from the source of power.

As energy continued to flow in, their strength increased rapidly. At this time, the killers of the Dark Alliance also realized that the situation was not good and launched an even more frantic attack.

After Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er absorbed the power, their strength increased greatly. They used powerful fighting skills and spells to defeat all the killers of the Dark Alliance.

"Finally we got rid of them." Lin Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Muchen looked at the corpses on the ground and said, "This is just the beginning. We still have more challenges waiting for us."

Next, they followed the clues in the secret book and found several other sources of power and successfully absorbed the power from them.

After improving their strength, Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er decided to recruit soldiers and form a powerful team to fight against the Dark Alliance.

They first posted notices in various towns, promoting the mission and significance of fighting the Dark Alliance, which attracted responses from many people with lofty ideals.

There was an endless stream of applicants, and Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er personally screened and assessed them.

In the examination field, a young warrior named Zhao Gang showed excellent physical fitness and superb martial arts. His boxing skills were fierce and his steps were steady. Facing the many tests set by Xiao Muchen, he remained calm and passed them smoothly.

There is also a female magician named Su Yao, whose spell control is precise and ingenious, and she can release powerful magical power in an instant, which left a deep impression on Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er.

In addition to personal strength, Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er also pay attention to the applicants' character and team spirit.

In a teamwork assessment, a group of applicants showed a high level of tacit understanding. When facing simulated enemy attacks, they cooperated with each other, some were responsible for defense, some were responsible for attack, and some were responsible for treatment, and finally successfully completed the task.

After rigorous screening, Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er selected a group of outstanding talents to form an elite team.

Afterwards, they began to train the team. Xiao Muchen taught the team members his own combat experience and fighting skills, while Lin Wan'er taught everyone how to better use spells and cooperate with teammates.

During the training process, the team members worked hard and continuously improved their strength. They learned from each other, encouraged each other, and gradually formed a close-knit whole.

Finally, the day of the decisive battle is approaching, and Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er lead the team towards the Dark Alliance headquarters.

Along the way, they carefully avoided enemy patrols and finally arrived at the south side of the Dark Alliance headquarters.

"Prepare to attack!" Xiao Muchen gave the order.

The team members used their unique skills one after another and launched a fierce attack on the Dark Alliance headquarters.

The Dark Alliance's guards were caught off guard by the sudden attack and were defeated.

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er led the way and rushed into the Dark Alliance headquarters.

A fierce battle begins...
