Chapter 114 Rules of the Lost Land
Lin Yi stared closely at the mysterious figure in front of him, his eyes revealing an irrepressible eagerness. With a slightly trembling voice, he asked, "Then how can we get out of here?"
The man frowned slightly, as if he was a little annoyed by Lin Yi's question, but he still patiently replied, "In this place called the Lost Land, the rules of survival can be described as extremely cruel. It is full of terrifyingly powerful monsters. They guard the borders of this land day and night. Breaking through these defenses is not easy! Moreover, even if you can break through the monsters' defenses, you must defeat them and seize the mysterious crystal from them. Only then may there be a glimmer of hope of leaving this place."
Hearing this, Lin Yi took a deep breath, as if to suppress all the fear and anxiety in his heart. Then, with a look as firm as a rock, he said in a resounding voice, "No matter how rough and difficult the road ahead may be, I will definitely give it a try!"
However, the man simply laughed coldly and snorted disdainfully, "Hmph, young man, don't overthink this. Countless people like you have set foot in this lost land with great ambitions, but most of them were ultimately trapped here, unable to ever take another step forward."
Yet, facing the man's scornful and dismissive sarcasm, Lin Yi stood firm like a towering mountain, showing no sign of retreat. On the contrary, the resolve burning deep within him grew fiercer and more unwavering. He straightened his body without a shred of fear, his gaze fixed squarely on the man's eyes. Unyielding, he pressed on, "Please tell me all the details about those monsters and the crystals."
Seeing that Lin Yi was so persistent and tenacious, the man was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help but shook his head slightly, as if he felt helpless about Lin Yi's stubbornness. But in the end, perhaps moved by the determination in Lin Yi's eyes, or perhaps for some other unknown reason, the man finally slowly opened his mouth and, in a slightly low voice, briefly and concisely told him some relevant information: "Those monsters, each of them possesses astonishing and terrifying power. They are so powerful that they can easily raze a towering mountain to the ground in an instant! Not only that, these guys are proficient in all kinds of strange and unpredictable magical powers. Their ever-changing and elusive nature often makes it difficult to guard against them, and even the most experienced adventurers have difficulty dealing with them. As for that mysterious crystal, they have always regarded it as a treasure, carefully hiding it in the deepest part of their nest, which must be surrounded by numerous traps and mechanisms. Finding it successfully will be no easy task..."
After hearing this, Lin Yi knew that defeating those powerful monsters with his current strength was practically impossible. After careful consideration, he resolutely made a crucial decision—to search this vast, lost land for reliable allies. Thus, with unwavering determination, he embarked on a long journey. Along the way, he encountered countless hardships and dangers, and encountered a variety of characters. Some harbored ulterior motives, attempting to exploit him for their own ends; others, kindhearted, were willing to fight alongside him against unknown dangers. Some were wary of him and unwilling to cooperate; others were timid and cowardly, afraid to face the challenge. But Lin Yi persevered, and eventually, he encountered several brave individuals who shared his desire to leave.
"My name is Ares. I've had a passion for martial arts since childhood. After years of diligent training, I'm now considered a leader!" A towering man spoke in a resounding voice. His muscles were toned and defined, as if each contained boundless power.
Then, a cute girl spoke: "I'm Ellie. Although I look weak, I actually master some magical spells." She blinked her big, lively eyes and a confident smile appeared on her face.
At this time, another taciturn but determined man slowly raised his head and said softly: "Just call me Shadow. My specialty is assassination. I can take the enemy's head quietly and silently in the dark." His eyes were deep and sharp, making people dare not look directly at him.
Lin Yi looked at his three unique companions and felt a surge of joy. He knew that escaping this dangerous and uncertain place alone was impossible. With Ares, Ellie, and Ying joining him, he undoubtedly saw more hope. Lin Yi smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's join forces and fight together to leave this place!" Everyone nodded in agreement.
In the days that followed, Lin Yi and his new allies plunged into intense preparations for battle. They tirelessly searched for all manner of weapons and precious resources. Sometimes, for the sake of a sharp sword or a precious potion, they ventured deep into dangerous terrain and engaged in fierce battles with powerful enemies.
At the same time, they also seized the opportunity to train and improve their teamwork. However, during this training process, they inevitably encountered many difficulties and challenges. The outspoken Ares often acted impulsively, leading to failures; the mysterious Ying was always solitary and had difficulty cooperating effectively with the rest of the team; and as for Ellie, although she possessed a natural talent for magic, her lack of practical experience meant that her magical skills were still rusty and often failed to perform at crucial moments.
Faced with these thorny challenges, Lin Yi remained steadfastly optimistic and positive. He patiently listened to everyone's thoughts and feelings, offering constant encouragement and support. Regarding Ares's impulsiveness, Lin Yi would carefully analyze the pros and cons with him afterward, teaching him how to better control his emotions and seize opportunities. Regarding Ying's withdrawn personality, Lin Yi sought ways to bridge the gap between them, fostering mutual trust and understanding. And regarding Ellie's lack of magical proficiency, Lin Yi personally served as her practice partner, practicing with her over and over again until she mastered the technique.
With Lin Yi's unremitting efforts, Ares gradually became more calm and composed, Ying began to actively integrate into the group, and Ellie's magic skills improved by leaps and bounds. In this way, this originally imperfect team gradually became a united and invincible fighting group.
Finally, they felt they were ready and decided to head towards the monster's lair. Along the way, everyone was very nervous, but their eyes were also full of hope.
When they arrived at the monster's lair, they were shocked by the scene before them. The huge cave was filled with a dark atmosphere, and the roar of the monster could be heard from time to time.
"Everyone be careful!" Lin Yi reminded.
They walked into the cave cautiously and soon encountered the first monster. The monster pounced on them with its fangs and claws bared. Ares rushed forward fearlessly and started a close combat with the monster.
Ellie cast magic support from the rear, while Ying took the opportunity to find the monster's flaw and deliver a fatal blow.
Lin Yi also used the magic he learned in the continent of Aesera to fight against the monsters.
After a fierce battle, they finally succeeded in defeating the first monster, but this was just the beginning, and there were more challenges waiting for them.
