Legend of the Embroiderer

Li Zhao and his companions bathed in the blood-red afterglow of the setting sun, and slowly embarked on this road full of dangers and unknowns - in pursuit of the heart-pounding dark light.

Carrying heavy burdens, they trudged through towering mountains and bottomless canyons, moving step by step towards the core of the world.

Although everyone's steps seemed heavy and exhausted, their gazes remained steadfast, shining with the light of hope like the bright stars in the night sky.

During the long journey, a tense and oppressive atmosphere permeated the air among everyone, and no one dared to speak easily to break the silence.

It was Su Mengyao who first broke the suffocating silence.

Her slightly trembling voice echoed through the air: "What unknown secrets are hidden in the core of this world? Why is the dark force so determined to reach that place?"

Before he finished speaking, the surroundings fell into deathly silence again.

At this time, the old man who had been silent all the time frowned slightly, as if he was thinking hard for the answer in the depths of his mind.

After a long while, he slowly spoke, "Legend has it that the core of the world is the source of all things, and within it lies a mysterious power capable of controlling the entire world order. If this dark force successfully obtains it, it will likely completely reshape the world, shrouding the earth in endless darkness forever..."

Having said that, the old man couldn't help but sigh, with a look of deep worry on his face.

After hearing these words, everyone felt even more depressed, as if a huge rock was pressing on their hearts, making it hard to breathe.

They did not dare to delay for even a moment and quickened their pace, wishing they could grow a pair of wings and fly to the core of the world immediately.

Because they know very well that if they cannot get there before the dark forces, the consequences will be disastrous.

As they continued to move deeper, the surrounding environment began to change and became more and more bizarre.

The originally clear sky would now and then be streaked with strange rays of light, which were red or purple, flickering unsteadily, giving people a creepy and terrifying feeling.

The ground beneath his feet seemed to sense some kind of uneasiness, and began to tremble slightly, making a slight rumbling sound, as if trying his best to resist the impending huge crisis.

After several days of arduous journey, they finally arrived in front of a mysterious valley.

The valley looks quite peaceful, but it also exudes an indescribable mysterious atmosphere.

The entire valley was shrouded in a thick layer of fog, which was so thick that it could not be dissolved. It was like a thick white curtain, covering everything in the valley tightly.

Standing in front of the valley, the experienced old man said solemnly, "From what I know, according to the records in ancient books, this is undoubtedly the entrance to the core of the world."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhao took a deep breath and walked towards the valley without hesitation.

As soon as his figure entered the valley, the thick fog surged over like a tide, instantly surrounding them all.

In an instant, everyone's vision became extremely blurred, and they could only barely see what was a few steps in front of them.

Everyone walked forward cautiously, and no one dared to be careless.

At this moment, a low roar suddenly came from the front. The sound was deafening, like rumbling thunder, and it was as if a huge and ferocious creature was suddenly awakened from its sleep.

Su Mengyao, who was following Li Zhao, was immediately terrified. She couldn't help but tightly grasp Li Zhao's arm and asked with a trembling voice, "What...what on earth is that sound? It sounds so scary!"

Before Li Zhao could respond, he saw a monster as huge as a mountain suddenly rushing out from the depths of the thick fog!

The beast's entire body was covered with a layer of inky black scales, and its eyes flashed with a dazzling scarlet light. From its bloody mouth, raging flames continuously spewed out, as if it wanted to burn everything in front of it to ashes.

Faced with such a ferocious monster, Li Zhao did not dare to be negligent. He immediately activated the mysterious power of the crystal in his body. Dazzling rays of light instantly gathered in front of him, and in a moment they formed an indestructible defensive barrier.

At this moment, the Warcraft's fierce attack with tremendous force had already come, but was finally blocked by this powerful defensive barrier.

Su Mengyao on the side also reacted quickly, and the two of them displayed their respective special skills almost at the same time.

Su Mengyao waved her jade hand lightly, and several sharp ice cones flew out with a biting chill.

For a moment, the ice cones and flames intertwined and entangled with each other, like two angry dragons pouncing towards the monster with fangs and claws.

After suffering such a fierce attack, the monster not only did not retreat, but became more and more manic and furious.

It let out a deafening roar towards the sky, and then violently swung its thick and powerful claws, causing a gust of whistling wind, which actually directly knocked away the surrounding boulders weighing thousands of pounds.

In an instant, rocks flew everywhere, smoke and dust filled the air, and the scene was in chaos.

Just when the battle between everyone and the monsters reached a fever pitch, something unexpected happened - the old man who had been standing not far away watching the battle suddenly disappeared in full view of everyone!

Li Zhao's heart tightened suddenly when he saw this, and an ominous premonition instantly came to his mind.

At this moment, he had to concentrate on resisting the monster's crazy attacks, which were stronger than the previous wave, while also paying attention to the surrounding environment, trying to find any clues about the old man.

But no matter how hard he searched, the old man seemed to have evaporated into thin air, and there was no news of him since.

Under the fierce attack of everyone working together and showing their magical powers, the huge and ferocious monster finally fell to the ground with a bang.

Just when everyone thought that this thrilling battle was over and they could take a breath, suddenly, a creepy and eerie laugh rang out without warning.

Following the direction of the voice, I saw that the once mysterious dark shadow appeared again!

What was even more unexpected was that the old man who had always been highly respected was now standing quietly beside the black shadow.

Li Zhao's eyes widened, his face filled with shock. He couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes. Anger instantly flared up in his heart, and he shouted at the old man, "Senior, why on earth are you doing this?"

Facing Li Zhao's questioning, the old man's face revealed an indescribable complex expression.

He was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke, "Actually, I was once a messenger imprisoned by the forces of darkness. For a long time, I have been eagerly awaiting a warrior to break the seal of darkness and unleash the true power within. Your appearance has undoubtedly given me a glimmer of hope."

Hearing this, Su Mengyao beside her was also extremely shocked. She looked at the old man in disbelief and said in a trembling voice, "So, you have been using us from the beginning?"

The old man shook his head gently, a hint of resignation in his tone. "That's not the case, children. Your bravery in battle and your deep friendship have indeed deeply moved me. However... the dark force is simply too powerful. To completely suppress it, only the power contained in the world's core can do so. Initially, I did hope to use your power to explore the location of the world's core and then find a way to seal this terrifying dark force. Unfortunately, the opposite has happened. Now it seems that the dark force has completely lost control, and the situation has become increasingly critical."

The shadow sneered, "Foolish humans, do you think you can stop me? The power at the core of the world will soon belong to me."

As he spoke, the shadow suddenly rushed into the depths of the valley. Li Zhao and the others ignored their anger and hurriedly chased after it.

They passed through the thick fog and came to a huge cave. The cave was emitting a strong light, which was the power of the core of the world.

The black shadow was already standing in front of the core, and he reached out to touch the core.

Seeing this, Li Zhao immediately gathered his strength and shot out a lightsaber. The lightsaber hit the black shadow, but the shadow only swayed slightly and continued to move towards the core.

Just as the black shadow's hand was about to touch the core of the world, Li Zhao and others finally arrived.

They surrounded the black shadow and prepared to make a final resistance.

The black shadow was not afraid at all. He released a powerful dark force and started a thrilling battle with everyone.

During the battle, Li Zhao discovered that the power of the black shadow seemed to be different from before, becoming more strange and powerful.

He realized that the shadow must have found a way to increase his strength in this short period of time.

The power of Su Mengyao and the Crown Princess gradually weakened under the suppression of the dark power.

Li Zhao also felt that his strength was almost exhausted, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

He kept trying to find the shadow's weakness, but the shadow's defense was so impenetrable that he had no idea where to start.

Just when everyone was in despair, Li Zhao suddenly remembered the fusion power of crystal and ancient books.

He concentrated his mind and once again channeled the power of the crystal, blending it with the power of the ancient book.

This time, he felt an unprecedented power, as if the power of the entire world was under his control.

Li Zhao injected this power into the lightsaber, and the lightsaber's light became even brighter.

He swung his lightsaber violently and slashed at the shadow.

The shadow seemed to sense the danger and tried to dodge, but the lightsaber was too fast and hit him directly.

The shadow let out a scream and its body began to dissipate.

Just when everyone thought victory was in sight, a strong light suddenly emitted from the core of the world, and a huge figure slowly emerged in the light.

This figure exuded a dark power even more powerful than the previous black shadow. Its appearance caused the entire cave to tremble.

Li Zhao and others looked at the figure in horror. They didn't know whether this was the power at the core of the world being eroded by darkness, or a new dark force.

But they knew that this battle was far from over, and what they were about to face might be an unprecedented disaster.

What is the origin of this powerful black shadow that suddenly appeared?

How can Li Zhao and others find hope in this desperate situation?

Everything was like a fog, covering them and leaving them no glimmer of hope.
