Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Clues to the Evil
The night was as black as ink, with dark clouds gathering densely, as if they were going to swallow the entire sky. On this ominous night, an indescribable oppressive atmosphere pervaded the dense forest. The leaves rustled in the cold wind, as if they were telling of the impending ominous events.
Jack and Alice stood at the edge of the dense forest, their eyes resolute and cold. They knew that a fierce battle was waiting for them tonight. Sure enough, as night fell, black shadows emerged from all directions like ghosts.
These black shadows had strange figures and were agile in their movements, as if they were demons crawling out of the abyss. Their eyes were fierce and cunning, shining with an eerie light in the dark. The leader of the black shadows was even more tall and powerful. He waved a huge scythe, and each swing carried a sharp howling wind, as if he were going to cut the entire dense forest in half.
Jack and Alice were not intimidated by the imposing manner of their opponents. They tightly gripped their weapons, ready to face this thrilling and intense battle. As the sword light flashed, their figures quickly shuttled through the darkness, engaging in a thrilling fight with the black shadows.
Each collision made a deafening loud noise,and the air was filled with the thick smell of blood and the intertwined aura of magic. However, no matter how fierce the black shadows were, Jack and Alice always remained calm and had a tacit understanding. They coordinated seamlessly, both attacking and defending, gradually cornering the black shadows.
Just then, the leader of the black shadows suddenly let out a sharp whistle. The sound was like the wailing of a ghost, echoing in the night sky and making people's hair stand on end. In an instant, the black shadows all threw smoke bombs from their bosoms. The thick black smoke quickly spread, enveloping the entire battlefield.
Jack and Alice immediately waved their weapons vigilantly to prevent the black shadows from taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. In this dark smoke, they seemed to be in a demon's lair. The surrounding air was filled with an eerie and terrifying atmosphere, as if the claws of a demon would reach out at any moment and drag them into the endless abyss.
However, when the smoke cleared, they were surprised to find that the black shadows had disappeared without a trace. The battlefield was left in a mess with patches of bloodstains. Jack and Alice looked at each other and saw the worry and solemnity in each other's eyes.
While cleaning up the battlefield, Jack accidentally found a dropped badge. It was a black badge with a mysterious symbol engraved on it. He showed the badge to Alice, and both of them fell into deep thought. This symbol had a striking similarity to the mark of the ancient evil power they had seen in the ancient book before.
The moonlight, like water, spilled over the two of them, and the silver light illuminated their faces. They knew that these enemies would surely not give up easily, and there must be a greater conspiracy brewing behind it. In order to uncover this mystery, they decided to study the ancient book in depth to find clues.
Under the dim light, the words in the ancient book seemed even more obscure and difficult to understand. However, they did not give up. With the help of the mysterious visitor, they finally conducted a more in-depth study of the ancient book. After arduous efforts, they finally discovered some crucial clues.
It turned out that before the ancient evil power awakened, it would send messengers to search for treasures that could enhance its power. And the Heart of Elements and the artifacts were exactly one of their targets. This discovery made Jack and Alice realize the seriousness of the problem. They had to speed up their cultivation, and at the same time, find a way to locate the hiding places of these messengers to prevent their conspiracy from succeeding.
The moonlight, like water, quietly spilled on the training ground, and the silver light draped a mysterious veil over the figures of the two of them. They sat side by side, closed their eyes, and concentrated, starting their cultivation. The air around them was filled with a strong elemental aura, as if countless fairies were cheering for them.
At the same time, the wizard was also running around everywhere to find clues. He crossed the vast wilderness, traversed countless mountains and rivers, and visited wise men and wizards from all over. In an ancient magic library, he finally found a book that recorded the seal of the ancient evil power. The book described in detail the method and location of sealing the ancient evil power.
The wizard returned to Jack and Alice with this important information. The three of them decided to go together to the mysterious place, search for the magic array, and prepare for the upcoming final showdown.
