End of the World Crisis, My Husband is from Ancient Times

Fan Mengmeng stopped, not because she was overwhelmed by the joy of victory, but because of a lingering uneasiness in her heart.

Although the cracks in the sky had healed, it was still like a piece of brocade that had been forcibly patched, so fragile that it could not withstand a single blow.

She looked back, the smile on her lips was not relaxed, but carried a hint of cold determination.

"Wait," she said, her tone unmistakable and firm.

Teng Junze didn't ask any more questions. He knew Fan Mengmeng as well as he knew the sword in his hand.

He knew that her keen intuition had caught something again.

He just stood beside her silently, as solid and reliable as a rock.

In the following days, they traveled to every corner of the world, from bustling cities to desolate Gobi Desert, from towering snow-capped mountains to deep jungles.

Wherever they went, people lined the streets to welcome them and regarded them as heroes and saviors.

But flowers and applause cannot paralyze their nerves. They always remain highly vigilant, looking for undercurrents hidden behind peace.

An ancient legend caught their attention.

At the end of the world, there is a mysterious dark area, which is shrouded in thick fog all year round and never sees the sun.

It is said that anyone who has stepped into it has never come out, as if they have been swallowed up.

This rumor, like a magnet, firmly attracted Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze.

They decided to go and find out.

As they approached the dark area step by step, the temperature around them dropped sharply and the air became sticky and oppressive, as if an invisible giant hand was strangling their throats.

Fan Mengmeng felt that her strength was suppressed by a mysterious force, as if she was stuck in a quagmire and unable to exert her strength.

An unprecedented sense of fear crept into her heart, making her shiver.

"Mengmeng, what's wrong?" Teng Junze keenly noticed something strange about Fan Mengmeng and asked with concern.

Fan Mengmeng took a deep breath, trying to suppress the uneasiness in her heart, and shook her head: "I... I feel that the energy here is very strange, and my strength seems to be suppressed."

Teng Junze frowned, held Fan Mengmeng's hand tightly, and said in a deep voice, "Be careful."

They continued to move forward, and the fog became thicker and thicker, making it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face.

Fan Mengmeng held Teng Junze's hand tightly, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Suddenly, she felt Teng Junze's hand tighten suddenly, with such force that it almost crushed her bones.

"Wait..." Teng Junze's voice was low and tense, with a barely perceptible tremor.

Teng Junze's hands held Fan Mengmeng tightly like an iron clamp. A warm current flowed through her whole body along their clasped palms, dispelling the coldness around them.

The domineering aura emanating from him was like an invisible barrier, protecting her firmly behind him and bringing her an unprecedented sense of security.

Fan Mengmeng's heartbeat inexplicably accelerated at this moment, not only because of fear, but also because of the tenderness and protection contained in this domineering attitude.

"Are you scared?" Teng Junze's voice was low and powerful, like a bright lamp lighting in the darkness.

Fan Mengmeng shook her head, a determined smile on her lips: "With you here, I'm not afraid."

The two looked at each other and reached a tacit understanding without saying anything.

They decided to enter this dark area and explore the secrets hidden behind the fog.

Every step was extremely difficult, as if they were stuck in a quagmire. Invisible resistance surged from all directions, pressing on their bodies and trying to swallow them up.

Teng Junze's power was like a dazzling ray of light, splitting the thick fog and opening up a path forward for them.

"Be careful!" Teng Junze suddenly shouted and pulled Fan Mengmeng behind him.

Fan Mengmeng only felt a flash before her eyes, and a black shadow passed by her, bringing with it a gust of cold wind.

Before she could react, Teng Junze had already unsheathed his sword. A sharp sword energy cut through the darkness and forced the shadow back.

"What is that?" Fan Mengmeng asked in shock.

Teng Junze did not answer, but looked around vigilantly, the sword in his hand emitting a cold light, as if ready to meet new challenges at any time.

There was an eerie silence in the air, so oppressive that it made one breathless.

Suddenly, Teng Junze turned his head and looked into the depths of the thick fog, his eyes as sharp as a knife, "Here it comes..."

The dark shadows surging in the darkness rushed towards them like a tide, bringing with them a suffocating feeling of oppression.

Teng Junze's eyes flashed, and he swung the sword in his hand. The sword energy was like a rainbow, extremely sharp.

However, the sword passed right through those shadows as if they were just illusions.

The next moment, a black shadow wrapped around him like a maggot, surrounding him.

"Jun Ze!" Fan Mengmeng exclaimed, extremely anxious.

The surrounding trees rustled at the shadow's power, as if trembling at their perilous situation.

She tried to get closer to Teng Junze, but was blocked by an invisible force and could only watch him being swallowed by the black shadow.

Fan Mengmeng gritted her teeth and forced herself to calm down.

She looked around, trying to find a way out.

Suddenly, she noticed that when the light she created with her ability shone on the shadows, they would instinctively avoid it.

An idea flashed through her mind, and she immediately mobilized all her strength to condense a dazzling ball of light.

The ball of light is like a small sun, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

The black shadows roared and retreated as if they were burned by fire.

Teng Junze's figure appeared in Fan Mengmeng's sight again. His face was pale, but his eyes were still firm.

"Mengmeng, they are afraid of light!" Teng Junze said in a deep voice.

Fan Mengmeng nodded and increased her power output. The light ball shone even brighter, completely dispelling the surrounding darkness.

The shadows screamed shrilly and melted like ice and snow.

As the black shadow disappeared, the surrounding scene gradually became clear.

Under the shining light, Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze were both stunned.

"What...what is that?" Fan Mengmeng muttered to herself.

Teng Junze's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "Go and take a look."

Under the dazzling light, the true face of the dark area was finally revealed.

It was not a desolate place, but an ancient castle, towering and made entirely of huge black stones, exuding a gloomy and mysterious atmosphere.

The spire of the castle soars into the clouds, as if to pierce the sky. The walls are covered with dark green vines, like twisted giant pythons, adding a bit of weirdness.

The castle gate was tightly closed. The heavy door panels were carved with intricate patterns, and some strange symbols could be vaguely seen, which seemed to contain some kind of ancient spell.

Bursts of low roars came from the depths of the castle, as if a sleeping beast was about to wake up, foreshadowing the unknown danger lurking within.

Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze looked at each other, and a hint of solemnity flashed in their eyes.

They approached the castle cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution, as if they were walking on thin ice.

The air was filled with a rotten smell mixed with a faint smell of blood, which was nauseating.

Teng Junze reached out and gently pushed open the castle door.

"Squeak--" A sharp friction sound broke the silence around, the heavy door slowly opened, and a cold wind blew out from the gap in the door, bringing a creepy chill.

The light inside the castle was dim, and only some vague outlines could be seen.

Teng Junze drew out his sword, and the blade flashed with a cold light, illuminating a small area in front.

He held the sword in one hand and tightly grasped Fan Mengmeng's hand with the other. The two of them walked into the castle side by side and disappeared into the darkness...

"Follow me closely." Teng Junze's voice echoed in the darkness, low and firm.
