In the deep and azure lake, Zhang Jin, Underworld deity, and Han Che experienced a long and difficult quest. They searched at the bottom of the lake for a part of the underworld artifact, but in the end, they returned empty-handed.
Disappointed, they turned to the water god for guidance, hoping to find new clues. The voice of the water god resonated in their hearts like waves, leading them to the forgotten place - the Ravine Forest.
The Ravine Forest, a mysterious place hidden deep in the forest, is one of the last unspoiled sanctuaries in the world.
However, even in such a sacred place, it is impossible to completely escape the intrusion of the outside world. The moment the three entered this ancient forest, they could feel an indescribable sense of sorrow and heaviness.
The sunlight filtered through the sparse treetops, casting dappled shadows on the ground. Every step was taken on a thick layer of fallen leaves, making a rustling sound.
In a seemingly peaceful forest, they encountered the spirits of the forest. With their graceful figures and unique temperament, the three of them involuntarily stopped in their tracks.
The forest spirits surrounded a clearly polluted area of land, their brows furrowed with worry in their eyes.
The leader of the forest spirits, a soul named Xiao Yuan, stepped forward to speak with them.
Her voice was gentle yet powerful, carrying an unmistakable determination: "The reason you are able to come here is because of nature's choice. Our home is suffering from destruction, and if balance is not restored in time, the entire forest will face the threat of extinction. In exchange, we are willing to offer some items from the artifact."
Zhang Jin tightly clasped his hands and answered firmly, "We are willing to help you, not just for the artifact, but also because we understand the importance of protecting nature."
On a misty morning, Zhang Jin, Underworld deity, and Han Che followed Xiao Yuan as they ventured through the shadows of Ravine. This ancient forest, hidden deep in the underworld, was a pristine land untouched by the outside world. However, as they delved deeper, an indescribable sorrow began to weigh on their hearts.
Xiao Yuan gracefully led the way, her figure seemingly blending with the surrounding environment, every step exuding the natural rhythm. She pointed to an arch woven from vines and leaves, saying, "This is the entrance to the shadows of Ravine. Once you pass through this gate, you will see a completely different world."
Passing through the arch, a magnificent forest scene unfolds before them. Towering ancient trees stand tall, with dappled light filtering through the leaves, and the air filled with a fresh yet ancient scent. However, they soon discover something unusual about the forest - some areas of the trees are withered, the ground scattered with wilted leaves, and occasionally a hint of decay in the air.
Xiao Yuan stops in his tracks and says with a serious expression, "This is the secret I want to show you. This forest used to be the most vibrant place in the underworld, but now it is slowly losing its former glory."
She led them to an area clearly severely polluted, where there were almost no living creatures, just silence. "This used to be a gathering place for spirit animals and plant spirits, but now they have had to leave their homes to find the last refuge."
Zhang Jin touched a withered tree trunk and could feel the life force that once flowed within the tree. "How did this happen?" she asked, her voice filled with compassion and anger.
Xiao Yuan sighed and a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes: "The source of all this is an ancient curse. A long time ago, an evil force was sealed deep in the forest. As the sealing power weakened, it began to gradually affect every corner of the forest."
Underworld deity clenched his fists, his eyes shining with determination: "Then let's find the sealing place and seal that evil force again."
Han Che also nodded in support: "Since we are here, we have a responsibility to help you. Whatever difficulties lie ahead, we will face them together."
Xiao Yuan looked at them, finally showing a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "Thank you, with your help, I believe we can definitely save Ravine Forest."
After a period of in-depth exploration, Zhang Jin, Underworld deity, and Han Che finally arrived at an ancient tomb hidden deep in the shadows of Ravine under the guidance of Xiao Yuan.
The forest surrounding the ancient tomb is vibrant, forming a stark contrast to the polluted areas. However, as they approach, a cold and eerie feeling hits them, sending shivers down their spines.
Xiao Yuan stops and points to the ancient tomb, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity: "This is the source of the pollution. Deeply hidden here is an ancient evil spirit that once attempted to devour the entire underworld."
She continued to explain, "The ancient guardians discovered its existence and eventually established a tomb on this land to seal it. But as time passed, the power of the seal gradually weakened, and the evil spirit's power began to seep out, affecting the surrounding environment."
Zhang Jin tightly gripped the weapon in his hand, his brow furrowed. "We must find a way to reinforce the seal, or else the entire Ravine Forest will fall into death and decay."
Underworld deity's gaze was cold and stern as he stared in the direction of the ancient tomb: "Now that we know where the problem lies, there's no turning back. No matter what dangers lie ahead, we must face them."
Han Che nodded, with a determined expression: "It's time to let the evil spirits know that even in the underworld, they cannot have their way."
As their journey deepened, the mission to find the unsealing key became increasingly challenging. Every inch of the Ravine Forest was filled with unknowns and dangers, but at the same time, this ancient forest also nurtured countless wisdom and power. In this chapter, Zhang Jin, Underworld deity, and Han Che not only faced challenges but also received help from other creatures in the forest.
In a chance encounter, they met a wise fox spirit - Yunhu, who was a member of the Spirit Fox Tribe in the forest and possessed the ability to understand the power of nature. After learning about their mission, Yunhu decided to help them find the unsealing key. She gracefully leaped among the treetops, leading them through the misty depths of the forest.
"In this forest, every leaf and every tree is filled with the power of life," Yunhu said as he walked. "And that power will be the key to finding the unsealing key."
