Genres:Urban Romance Last update:25/03/23 20:58:55
        Upon the boundless wilderness, Mo Wenjie and the numerous women around him -- Huang Linger, Jiang Yuru, Xiao Aywen, Ding Yan, Tuo Yingying, Qin Xiaodie, Cao Chunling and the mysterious Golden Silkworm Goddess -- had just experienced an exciting and terrifying battle. Facing the fierce wolf packs surging like waves, they worked together in unison and showed off their various abilities to eventually repel these ferocious beasts.

    At this moment, everyone on the team bore the marks of battle, yet their gazes held resolve and longing for the unknown world. After a brief rest, they continued their journey without hesitation, setting off on the adventure ahead.

    Throughout the journey, the scenery changed endlessly, ranging from towering mountains and precipitous ravines to dense forests. Each landscape seemed to conceal countless secrets waiting for Mo Wenjie and Huang Linger to uncover. And this group of brave and fearless individuals continuously challenged themselves, overcoming one difficult obstacle after another.

    As they walked further, suddenly a lake shrouded in mist appeared before them. The water of the lake displayed an unusual pale blue hue, and the lake surface was as still as a mirror. Mo Wenjie became alert, sensing a powerful energy fluctuation within the lake.

    Huang Linger moved closer to the lake edge and whispered, "This lake looks rather eerie. Be cautious." No sooner had she finished her sentence when a massive geyser of water surged from the lake's depths. A dragon, glowing blue all over, emerged from the water. Its eyes blazing with fury, it spoke out loud, "This is my territory. Leave now!"

    Mo Wenjie stepped forward and said, "We're just passing through; we have no ill intentions." The dragon snorted coldly, "Humans can never be trusted. To pass, you must defeat me." The group exchanged a glance and each of them drew out their treasured artifacts.

    Mo Wenjie was the first to launch an attack, unleashing a stream of spiritual energy towards the dragon. The dragon nimbly dodged it and counterattacked. The other women were equally unyielding, as their various spells intertwined together.

    After a fierce battle, Mo Wenjie discovered the dragon's weakness and teamed up with Huang Linger to deal the final blow. The dragon sustained a wound and reluctantly retreated into the lake, clearing the way. The group breathed a sigh of relief and continued their journey into an even more mysterious destination.

    As the group walked along the lake's edge, they didn't have to go far to see an ancient stone door. The door was engraved with strange characters, emitting a faint glow. Mo Wenjie approached carefully, trying to decipher the mysteries of the inscriptions. Just then, a melodious flute sound echoed from around them. With the flute music, numerous spirit birds flew around the group, circling them.

    The Golden Silkworm Goddess exclaimed with delight, "This might be the dwellers of this place welcoming us. Perhaps there are countless fortunes hidden behind that door." Hearing this, Mo Wenjie, with hands in seal positions, tried to infuse spiritual energy into the stone door. The inscriptions were stimulated by the spiritual power and gradually became brighter. The stone door creaked open slowly.

    Within was a wonderland of blooming flowers and lush beauty, with a massive ancient tree at its center, laden with glistening, translucent fruits. Jiang Yuru curiously reached out to touch a fruit, and instantly a surge of power flooded into her body. Seeing this, everyone approached the ancient tree. However, as they all immerged in joy, the ground suddenly trembled, and a gigantic spirit turtle burst from the earth, roaring fiercely, "How dare you dared to intrude upon the hallowed land of the sacred tree!"

    At this very moment, Mo Wenjie and the other individuals -- Huang Linger, Jiang Yuru, Xiao Aywen, Ding Yan, Tuo Yingying, Qin Xiaodie, Cao Chunling and the Golden Silkworm Goddess -- all felt an intense sense of alertness in their hearts. Their nerves were stretched taut, as if they could sense the atmosphere around them had become heavy.

    Mo Wenjie, with eyes like burning torches, locked onto the direction where enemies might emerge, his hands gripping his weapon involuntarily; Huang Linger moved lightly on her feet, her form agile and fluid, ready to unleash her unique spells to face the looming danger.

    Jiang Yuru's expression was serious, her beautiful eyes shining with determination. She subtly adjusted her inner true energy, ready to unleash a powerful force at the critical moment.

    Xiao Aywen stood quietly there, appearing calm on the surface, but her inner battle readiness was already fully prepared. She slightly narrowed her eyes, observing the movements around her.

    Ding Yan took a deep breath to steady her somewhat tense emotions and at the same time concentrated her attention, not missing any hint of disturbance.

    Tuo Bai Yingying bit her lip, her right hand tightly gripping a short sword, exuding a fierce aura.

    Qin Xiaodie's hands were clasped together in a prayer position, and she seemed to be silently praying that this battle would go smoothly.

    Cao Chunling moved her wrists to ensure that her actions during combat would be swift and precise.

    The Golden Silkworm Goddess was even more focused, surrounded by strands of golden light that were the result of her practiced mystical art. The group stood in formation, ready at any moment to once again face an intense and fierce battle!

    Mo Wenjie loudly replied, "We were not intentionally disrespectful; we just happened to be here." However, the turtle did not listen to explanations and charged at the group with its massive body. Mo Wenjie moved nimbly, jumping mid-air, and unleashed a spiritual energy slash towards the turtle's head. The turtle retreated into its shell, easily dodging the attack.

    Huang Linger, seizing the opportunity, cast a spell that caused several vines to shoot from the ground and wrap around the turtle. However, the turtle used its limbs to easily break free. Jiang Yuru waved her hands and launched ice darts at the turtle, but the turtle responded by spitting out fire that melted the ice darts.

    At this moment, the Golden Silkworm Goddess shouted, her golden light transforming into threads that shot towards the turtle. The threads wrapped around the turtle's limbs, limiting its movement. Seeing this, the group immediately joined forces in their attack. Mo Wenjie gathered all his spiritual energy and unleashed his strongest strike. The other women also unleashed their ultimate techniques.

    The turtle was severely injured, and a plea for mercy was reflected in its eyes. Mo Wenjie stopped attacking and said, "As long as you no longer obstruct us, we will not harm you." The turtle nodded.

    The group turned around in unison, their gazes drawn to the ancient and colossal tree. It towered high above the clouds, its crown resembling a giant umbrella, with lush foliage swaying gently in the breeze as if sharing tales of past eons and untold stories.

    Mo Wenjie walked carefully to the base of the ancient tree, looking up in awe at the branches adorned with bright, colorful fruits. He reached out and plucked several, then distributed them to his companions around him. Each person smiled with joy upon receiving a fruit, feeling the gift from nature.

    Then, they began to explore the place further, which looked like an enchanted land. The air was fresh and pleasant, filled with a faint fragrance of flowers and grass; the ground was covered with soft grass like a green carpet; there were also clear streams running around, gurgling gently and producing a crystal clear sound.

    The group followed the winding and meandering paths, discovering various unusual flowers and rare animals along the way. Some of the flowers bloomed with vibrant and colorful petals, their shapes whimsical and otherworldly like fairy spirits; some of the small animals darted playfully through the grass, adding a touch of life and energy to this tranquil world.

    After a long time of searching, they had indeed reaped a bountiful harvest. Some found precious herbs that could be used to brew miraculous elixirs; others picked up rare ores, said to be able to forge invincible weapons; and still others unexpectedly obtained an ancient manuscript, which might contain the mysteries of supreme martial arts.

    As the sun set, casting its golden glow over this beautiful land, Mo Wenjie and Huang Linger, along with Jiang Yuru, Xiao Aywen, Ding Yan, and the others reluctantly concluded their exploratory journey. With a heart full of treasures, they resumed their journey once more, heading towards the next mysterious destination. They looked forward to uncovering more unknown opportunities and surprises there.

    As they advanced at a fast pace, they soon arrived at a valley. The valley was shrouded in mist, and low, rumbling sounds could be heard emanating from within. Cautioning each other, Mo Wenjie and the others cautiously entered the valley. What they saw were ancient array patterns inscribed on the mountain walls on both sides of the valley. Just as they were studying them, suddenly their footing gave way, and they all plummeted into a large pit trap. Fortunately, they managed to maintain their balance and avoid being impaled by the sharp spikes at the bottom of the pit.

    At this moment, a giant beast with purple fur slowly appeared. The beast opened its blood-red maw and roared, and Mo Wenjie calmly said, "It seems we will have to fight again." The group rallied their spirits and prepared for battle. Huang Linger summoned her sword to strike at the beast, but the beast swatted away the sword with its claws. Jiang Yuru threw an incantation to immobilize the beast for a moment, while Xiao Aywen took advantage to wrap its leg with a whip. The group cooperated flawlessly; Mo Wenjie found an opportunity to condense his spiritual power into a sharp blade and drive it into the beast's vital organs. The beast collapsed with a thunderous sound, dissipating into a swirl of purple light. In its place was left a purple crystalline core emanating powerful spiritual energy.

    Mo Wenjie picked up the crystalline core, and the group climbed out of the trap. On their way forward, they encountered an elderly man with white hair. The old man smiled at them: "Fated ones, after enduring so many trials and tribulations, you have reached the end of this journey. There is the greatest opportunity waiting for you ahead." Filled with anticipation, they quickened their pace towards the final mysterious place.

    The group followed the old man to a magnificent palace gate, which was tightly shut and emanated dazzling spiritual light. The old man waved his hand, and the gate slowly opened, revealing a room filled with radiant gold light. In the center of the room, a chest was suspended, emitting seven colors of light.

    Just as the group was excitedly eager to approach, the scene suddenly changed, and they found themselves amidst a sea of flames. The palace they had just seen vanished. The old man laughed heartily, revealing himself to be a demon in disguise.

    Mo Wenjie calmly said, "Do you think such tactics can hold us back?" Saying this, he took out the crystalline core he had previously obtained, which released a powerful spiritual energy to protect the group. The women also cast spells to combat the flames. Mo Wenjie seized the opportunity and charged towards the demon. The demon, not expecting their tenacity, responded in haste.

    Mo Wenjie and Huang Linger combined their powers to unleash a powerful joint technique. The demon struggled, and after being hit, it revealed its true form - a fire fox demon. Mo Wenjie did not kill the demon but said, "Go, never trouble us again in the future." The fire fox demon scampered away, leaving the surroundings unchanged. The palace then reappeared.

    The group entered the palace and retrieved the chest. Upon opening it, they found a seed inside. The Golden Silkworm Goddess exclaimed in excitement: "This is the legendary Spirit Source Seed, capable of creating a blessed land." So with satisfaction, the group left with the seed.
