I was so scared that I put all my points into health.

Just as the two sides were locked in fierce combat, the cold-faced man suddenly pulled a small black object from his robes. The object was shaped like a twisted heart. He poured his magic power into it continuously, and the small black object began to spin rapidly, seemingly sucking into the surrounding space. A huge dark vortex slowly appeared above his head, from which a terrifying roar could be faintly heard. The sound was like the howl of a demon from the depths of hell, sending chills down everyone's spine.

"Oh no, he wants to use this to blow up the Adventurers' Guild!" Guild Master Winnie shouted, her voice filled with worry and anxiety.

Vice President Leon, arriving from a short distance, remained unhurried. His steps were light and steady, as if he were dancing as he reached the center of the battlefield. He reached for a bow and arrow that radiated a divine light; the bow itself seemed to be crafted from the purest crystal, emitting a soft glow. Then, he drew an arrow from the Arrow of Light on his back. The arrow itself was as dazzling as sunlight, as if it contained all the light power in the world. He held the arrow before his eyes, took a deep breath, and poured all his magic into it. Golden light began to shimmer around his body, like a blazing sun rising beside him.

"Go!" Leon shouted, his voice booming like a great bell, echoing throughout the guild hall. He then fired the Arrow of Light at the dark vortex. The arrow of light streaked through the air in a bright straight line, like a shooting star. It met the dark vortex in mid-air, unleashing a massive energy shockwave. The forces of light and darkness intertwined and collided, like a fierce dance. A tremendous light illuminated the entire space, blinding everyone. Under this powerful force, the adventurers gritted their teeth, their figures appearing and disappearing in the light, yet they remained steadfast in their positions. Finally, the power of the Arrow of Light gradually suppressed the dark vortex, which began to shrink slowly, like a deflated balloon, until it finally vanished.

The cold-faced man suffered a backlash; his body jerked backward several steps, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The blood, like black ink, formed a dark red stain on the ground. Seeing that all was lost, a look of resentment crossed his face. He glared hatefully at President Winnie and the others, his eyes filled with bitterness and bitterness. Then, he led his men away in a disgraceful retreat, their footsteps as hurried as those of stray dogs.

President Winnie breathed a sigh of relief, her shoulders slumping slightly as if a heavy burden had been lifted. "We've temporarily repelled them, but we must speed up our research on this pointer fragment; time is of the essence."

President Winnie, the burly man, Vice President Leon, Wang Xiaoyi, and the others returned to the research lab. A mysterious atmosphere still permeated the lab; magical lights shone on the complex magical instruments, as if silently awaiting their arrival. Vice President Leon approached President Winnie and the other senior administrators, his expression serious and focused. He then shared with them some information they had discovered during the battle regarding the possible dark power fluctuations linked to the pointer fragments.

Guided by new clues, their research into these pointer fragments corrupted by dark forces has made new progress...

They discovered that these pointer fragments might be one of five key pieces in the Dark Cult's plan to open the gate sealing the Great Evil God. These fragments are like five mysterious keys, each concealing a piece of special magical information. This information is like tiny threads; when they combine, they point to the true location of the gate sealing the Great Evil God.

Now they realized the urgency of the situation, as if a Damocles' sword was hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any moment. The entire continent seemed shrouded in darkness, and they had to find all the fragments and thwart the dark cult's plot before the continent was completely enveloped by darkness…

As the research into pointer fragments deepened, some disturbing facts were discovered.

The lead expert frowned, his brows furrowing deeply like two small hills pressed together. His eyes were fixed on the fragments of the pointer, which seemed to radiate an eerie light under his gaze. "Based on the magical information we've deciphered so far, these five fragments are distributed across five different dangerous regions on the continent of Aurelion. Each region is like five enormous magical prisons, filled with dangerous traps and powerful enemies." His voice was low and heavy, as if recounting a terrible nightmare.

President Winnie stroked her chin, her fingers tapping lightly on it as if she were pondering a complex problem. "Originally, I wanted to lead the adventure team to find the scattered pointer fragments, but I didn't expect them to be connected. Based on previous investigations and the latest clues, we have to search for them one by one. However, we need to plan carefully and not act blindly. This is like an adventure with no turning back; every step requires caution."

Vice President Lyon nodded, his ears twitching slightly with his movement, looking quite adorable. "That's right. First, we need to conduct a more detailed investigation of each area, like explorers venturing into an unknown primeval forest, to understand the specific conditions there. For example, what type of magical restrictions are there? Are they spatial restrictions or corrosive ones? And what about the habits of the magical beasts? Are they pack beasts or solitary, stealthy assassins?"

Alpha's eyes suddenly lit up, sparkling with wisdom like stars in the night sky, bright and captivating. As if struck by inspiration, he blurted out, "I think we can start by looking in the archives for notes or records left by experienced adventurers who have been to those areas. Think about it, these predecessors are like brave adventurers groping their way through a dark labyrinth, leaving their footprints on paths full of unknowns and dangers. Their experience is like a beacon, illuminating our path in the darkness. With this experience, perhaps we can avoid many detours."

After hearing Alpha's suggestion, the higher-ups of the Adventurers' Guild all thought it was quite good. They exchanged glances, but a question arose in their minds. These youngsters were specifically brought along by Guild Master Winnie; was it intentional on her part? After all, ordinary adventurers weren't usually brought to such high-level meetings. Everyone tacitly pondered this question, but no one dared to question it. After all, Guild Master Winnie's prestige was undeniable, and right now, the most important thing was to find clues related to the pointer fragments.

At that moment, it was like seeing a glimmer of hope in the darkness. The adventurers rushed to the guild's archives without stopping. As soon as they entered, the distinctive smell of old paper wafted over them, a mixture of musty wood and the aroma of ink. Rows of tall bookshelves were filled with all sorts of books and scrolls, their covers varying in color; some faded beyond recognition, others still retaining their original vibrant hues. They moved quickly among the shelves, their eyes scanning each book's title like a scanner. But after searching for a while, they found they hadn't found enough information. Somewhat disappointed, they didn't give up, so they sent someone to the archives of the main city's guild to retrieve more information.

The archives of the Adventurers' Guild in the main city were even more enormous, like a colossal fortress of knowledge. Mountains of books and scrolls piled up inside, each one a daunting sight. The adventurers painstakingly searched through these mountains of materials, like treasure hunters searching for a specific item among a vast collection. Finally, amidst the numerous and complex books and scrolls, they discovered some useful information.

It turns out that one of the areas was an underground labyrinth that once sealed away an ancient demon. That underground labyrinth was like a desolate place shrouded in dark power, filled with the aura of demons. That aura was as thick as ink, pressing heavily on every corner of the labyrinth, and every breath felt like sucking in sticky sludge, making it extremely difficult to breathe.

Then look at the walls corrupted by demonic energy, densely covered with evil runes. These runes, like curse marks left by demons, twist and entangle, occasionally flashing with an eerie light. The light flickers, like eyes peering into the darkness, exuding a chilling aura.

Moreover, the walls were riddled with all sorts of traps. Some traps were like venomous fangs hidden in the darkness, cleverly disguised as part of the wall, completely undetectable without close inspection. Once a creature triggered one, it would spew deadly venom from the seemingly harmless wall. The venom, as if alive, spread rapidly, corroding everything in its path. Other traps were suddenly appearing giant spikes, like punishments from hell, abruptly emerging from the ground or walls without warning. The surface of the spikes gleamed coldly, as if proclaiming their lethality.

Another area was a seaside cave filled with elemental storms. This seaside cave was like a world of elements, where powerful elemental forces raged unchecked. Water elements surged like a raging tide, carrying the force to destroy everything; fire elements burned like raging flames, scorching everything in their path with endless heat; wind elements were like invisible blades, howling and cutting through anything that stood in their way; earth elements were like heavy boulders, mercilessly smashing down on any intruder. These elements intertwined and collided, forming a powerful elemental storm. The power of this elemental storm was terrifying, enough to destroy any creature that dared to enter. It was like a merciless meat grinder; creatures caught in the storm had no chance to struggle before being shredded to pieces.

Another area is a cursed, ancient forest. The trees in the forest are tall and sinister, each one like an ancient demon. Their branches are like twisted arms, full of aggression. They will suddenly extend branches to attack intruders, their movements swift and precise, like the scythe of death. Moreover, many evil ghosts lurk in the forest, their figures appearing and disappearing like drifting smoke. From time to time, they emit chilling cries, like wails from the depths of hell, echoing throughout the entire forest.

These places are extremely dangerous. Given the current strength of the Elparan City Adventurers' Guild, they simply cannot send enough manpower to handle such a dangerous mission. Moreover, this matter is far from simple; it involves a dark cult, and is even linked to terrifying entities like black magicians and great evil gods. As a branch leader of the Adventurers' Guild, Ms. Vinnie is well aware of her limitations; in matters concerning the safety of the entire continent, she has no authority to make arbitrary arrangements.

Therefore, Guild Master Winnie had no choice but to arrange for the staff to work overtime and meticulously compile the information related to these dangerous areas. The staff dared not slack off in the slightest; their eyes were glued to the computer screens or handwritten papers, carefully reviewing every detail. After a period of intense work, the completed report was finally delivered to the Guild Master at headquarters as soon as possible.
