But just as they were about to approach the mysterious and ancient sacred tree, suddenly, a gust of wind arose, accompanied by a deep roar, and an enormous black panther leaped out from the dense bushes beside them! This black panther seemed to be shrouded in a layer of dark, eerie light, appearing and disappearing, sending chills down one's spine; its eyes, as big as copper bells, shone with a fierce and sharp light, like two cold bolts of lightning piercing straight to the heart.
Faced with such a sudden and formidable foe, the brave and fearless youth did not hesitate for a moment. He flashed forward like an arrow, his longsword flashing with power, attempting to draw the black panther's full attention with his actions. At the same time, the clever and resourceful Lingyu was equally determined. Taking advantage of the moment when the black panther was entangled with the youth, she nimbly circled around to its side, carefully observing the situation and searching for the perfect opportunity to strike decisively.
The boy and the black panther engaged in a thrilling and desperate struggle. Despite the boy's best efforts and valiant resistance, the black panther was simply too powerful and ferocious. Its claws were as sharp as steel hooks, and each strike carried a whistling sound and astonishing force. After only a few rounds, the boy had multiple wounds, and his clothes were stained with blood.
Seeing her companion injured and in danger, Lingyu was frantic with worry. At the critical moment, she cried out, her hands swiftly forming hand seals as she chanted incantations. In an instant, a dazzling beam of light shot from her fingertips, transforming into a magical net shimmering with strange runes, firmly trapping the black panther within. Taking advantage of this brief opening, Lingyu dashed to the boy's side, grabbed his arm, and turned to dash towards the divine tree.
However, when they finally reached the foot of the divine tree, panting and out of breath, they were astonished to find that the tempting fruits hung high on the branches, and all around that mysterious place was a seemingly indestructible, crystal-clear transparent barrier! This barrier was like an insurmountable chasm, emanating a chilling aura. Staring at this enormous, seemingly insurmountable obstacle before them, the two stood there bewildered, exchanging bewildered glances, their hearts filled with confusion and helplessness.
Just then, an old yet steady voice seemed to come from ancient times, booming in their ears like a great bell: "To obtain the divine fruit, one must use tears of true sincerity to break through this barrier..." These sudden words were like a lightning bolt ripped through the night sky, instantly bringing the two who were stuck in a stalemate back to their senses.
Upon hearing these words, Lingyu gritted her teeth, a resolute glint flashing in her beautiful eyes. A flood of memories—the hardships and trials she had endured along the way—surged through her mind; images of pain, struggle, joy, and emotion appeared one by one. As she thought, her eyes gradually welled up with tears, and finally, a tear, brimming with deep emotion, slid down her cheek.
The glistening teardrop shimmered faintly in mid-air, slowly drifting towards the mysterious barrier. The moment the tear gently touched the barrier, a strange thing happened—the seemingly indestructible barrier seemed to melt away, vanishing without a trace!
Seeing this, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the boy beside him. Without hesitation, he leaped up and nimbly reached out towards the divine fruit hanging high on the branch. Just as his fingertips were about to touch the divine fruit, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth, instantly enveloping the two of them.
Surrounded by light, they felt light as if they had lost all weight. In the blink of an eye, they were transported back to the place where they had first discovered the mysterious flower. Ling Yu held the hard-won divine fruit in her hand, closed her eyes, and silently made a wish: May there be no more dangerous places in the world, and may people live peacefully and happily.
As she finished speaking, the divine fruit suddenly began to emit a dazzling light, then gradually transformed into countless tiny starlight, slowly dissipating into the air and finally disappearing without a trace. Although the divine fruit, having fulfilled its mission, had departed, the hope it brought remained forever in their hearts.
With this fantastical experience in mind, Lingyu and the boy smiled at each other, then turned and embarked on a new journey side by side, continuing to bravely move forward to explore more unknown mysteries of this vast world.
