The altar was the place where evil rituals were performed. Zhang Yu felt a wave of fear coming over him, as if he saw the painter performing a ritual on the altar.

He decided to speed up the investigation and find the location of the altar as soon as possible.

He began to travel around, visiting people who had had contact with the painter, trying to get news about the altar from them.

After some hard work, he finally found someone who had close contact with the painter-an old fisherman who once provided the painter with creative inspiration.

The old fisherman told him that the painter once found an ancient altar on a remote island and performed some mysterious rituals there.

Zhang Yu felt excited and thrilled, as if he saw the light of hope.

He immediately found the location of the island and decided to go there to look for the altar.

He took Li Zilin and Li Fu on a small boat to the island.

The sea was rough, as if hiding endless dangers.

After a difficult voyage, they finally arrived at the shore of the island.

They walked along the coastline, trying to find the altar.

But to their surprise, the island was extremely desolate, as if shrouded by a mysterious force.

They walked for a long time and finally found the altar in a remote valley.

The mysterious symbol was placed on the altar, as if summoning evil forces.

Zhang Yu felt a wave of fear coming over him, as if he saw the painter performing a ceremony on the altar.

He decided to destroy the altar immediately to prevent the evil forces from being released again.

They began to look for tools that could be used to destroy the altar, but to their surprise, the island was so desolate that they couldn't even find a stone that could be used to smash the altar.

At this moment, they suddenly heard a voice ringing in their ears: "Why do you want to destroy this altar? Don't you know its importance?"

Zhang Yu turned around suddenly and saw a figure walking out from the darkness.

The man was wearing a black robe and a silver mask on his face, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Zhang Yu asked vigilantly.

The man sneered and said, “I am the guardian of this altar.

Why did you destroy it? Don't you know it has the power to summon evil forces?"

Zhang Yu frowned: "Of course we know. But it is for this reason that we want to destroy it.

We cannot allow evil to be unleashed upon the world again.”

The man shook his head: "You don't understand. This altar is actually a seal that seals an ancient and powerful evil force.

If you destroy it, it will be like opening Pandora's box, and everything will be out of control!"

Zhang Yu's heart suddenly trembled, his face full of astonishment, staring at the black-robed man opposite him in disbelief, frowning, and questioning: "You actually call this a seal? Words are not enough, do you have solid evidence to prove your statement?"

The man in black robe slowly raised his right hand without any hurry, and suddenly a dark light appeared in the palm of his hand.

As the light gradually grew stronger, a strange picture gradually appeared before everyone's eyes.

The picture clearly showed the scenes that this place had experienced in the past - a magnificent altar stood here, and since its completion, it really was as the man in black robe said, it successfully suppressed a surging dark breath that seemed to devour everything.

Lin Xiao, who came with Zhang Yu, also looked nervous at this time. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and she said with her red lips: "If this is the case, then how should we deal with it now?

The painter had ulterior motives and attempted to use this altar to release the evil power contained within it.

If we leave it alone like this, wouldn't it become a huge hidden danger in the long run?"

Hearing this, the man in black robes could not help but sigh softly, and responded in a heavy tone: "Since I discovered the secret of this place, I have been guarding it silently, in order to prevent anyone from deliberately destroying or taking advantage of it.

As long as I live, I will never allow such a terrible thing to happen!"

Zhang Yu remained silent, lowering his head in deep thought. After a while, he raised his head, looked at the man in black robe with a firm gaze and said, "Even so, what good plan do you have to ensure that this operation is foolproof?

You know, someone almost succeeded in unlocking this evil power before.”

A trace of determination flashed across the eyes of the black-robed man, and he answered decisively: "Although I have the ability to strengthen this seal, I still need your help in collecting some rare materials rarely seen in the world.

Only by gathering these materials can we completely seal this altar, making it a permanent disaster and preventing the evil from ever coming back again!"

After saying that, he handed Zhang Yu a list of materials, which listed all kinds of unheard-of things.

Zhang Yu glanced at Lin Xiao, then nodded firmly to the man in black robe: "Okay, we promise you."

Therefore, Zhang Yu and Lin Xiao resolutely embarked on this journey full of unknowns and dangers in search of rare materials with courage.

They hold in their hands a precious list that details clues to various rare materials and their possible locations.

According to the list, the two first came to a vast and mysterious ancient forest.

This forest is said to be thousands of years old, hiding countless unknown secrets and dangers.

The rare material they are looking for this time, called Lingxi wood, grows here.

According to legend, this kind of Lingxi wood only grows on the top of cliffs, and there are extremely powerful guardian beasts lurking around it.

After entering the forest, the two did not dare to be careless and groped their way forward cautiously.

The dense woods blocked the sunlight, making the forest look eerie and dark. From time to time, the roars of unknown wild beasts could be heard, which was creepy.

But Zhang Yu and Lin Xiao did not retreat. Instead, they moved towards their goal more vigilantly.

After a long and arduous trek, they finally found the cliff that was towering into the clouds and reached the sky.

From a distance, the cliffs were so steep and rugged, as if the earth had been split by a giant axe.

At the top of the cliff, several trees with strange shapes can be vaguely seen. They must be the Lingxi wood they have been looking for.

Just as the two were approaching the cliff with joy, suddenly, a deafening roar resounded throughout the forest.

Immediately afterwards, a huge tiger with colorful fur jumped out from the grass next to them and blocked their way.

The tiger was majestic, with sharp eyes. It stared at Zhang Yu and Lin Xiao intently, and kept spitting out hot breath from its mouth. It obviously regarded them as enemies who invaded its territory.

Faced with such a ferocious opponent, Zhang Yu did not hesitate to tighten his grip on the weapon in his hand - an extremely sharp sword, while concentrating on observing the tiger's every move; while Lin Xiao quickly recited the spell and quietly cast a spell, ready to launch a defense at any time to protect himself and his companions.

In an instant, the battle horn sounded!

The tiger took the lead, opening its bloody mouth and pouncing towards Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu dodged the tiger's fatal blow by moving sideways, and swung his sword at the tiger's leg.

However, the tiger reacted extremely quickly, dodged Zhang Yu's attack with a light jump, and then turned around and pounced again.

At the same time, Lin Xiao seized the opportunity and cast a magic beam, shooting straight into the tiger's eyes.

The tiger, disturbed by the magic, suddenly stopped moving, giving Zhang Yu an opportunity.

He took the opportunity to leap up and stabbed the tiger's throat with all his strength.

This fierce battle lasted for a long time, with both sides fighting back and forth and neither side giving in.

Zhang Yu and Lin Xiao worked closely together, one was responsible for melee attacks, and the other used magic to control the opponent from a distance.

Finally, with the joint efforts of the two, they successfully hit the tiger's vital parts, causing it to fall to the ground and unable to get up and resist.

After this hard battle, Zhang Yu was already panting and sweating profusely, but he had no time to rest and immediately climbed up the steep cliff with all his might.

Every step was full of hardships and dangers, but he had only one belief in his heart: he must pick the Lingxi wood!

When Zhang Yu finally reached the top of the cliff and picked the coveted Lingxi wood with his own hands, an indescribable joy surged in his heart.

He carefully put the Lingxi wood into his backpack, then slowly slid down the cliff along the rope and returned to the ground.

At this time, Lin Xiao had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing Zhang Yu return safely and successfully obtain the Lingxi wood, she couldn't help but smile with relief.

The two looked at each other, and could see the fatigue and excitement in each other's eyes.

Although they successfully obtained the Lingxi Wood this time, they knew in their hearts that there were more severe challenges waiting for them ahead...

After all, there are many materials like this that are difficult to obtain on the list, but their eyes are still firm, and they are determined to complete this arduous task and protect this land from the erosion of evil forces.

After a short rest, Zhang Yu and Lin Xiao each took out the list of materials needed from their backpacks and carefully checked the target they needed to find next.

Lin Xiao frowned slightly, pointed at a line of words on the list and said slowly: "The next thing we need to find is the mysterious Shadow Grass. I heard that this strange herb only grows in the deepest part of the Dark Forest, and that place is full of deadly traps and thick fog that can make people lose their way."

After saying that, the two looked at each other, and then resolutely moved towards the dark forest full of unknowns and dangers.

As soon as they stepped into the edge of the forest, a bone-chilling chill came over them like a tide, making them shiver involuntarily.

Zhang Yu tightly grasped the extremely sharp sword in his hand, and his sharp eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly like an eagle.

As we walked deeper, the surrounding environment, which was originally clear and visible, was gradually shrouded by an increasingly thick white fog. The visibility in front of us became extremely low, as if we were in a chaotic and misty world.
