Chapter 123 Forest Guardians 3
The bitter smile on the guardian's face contained endless loneliness and helplessness.
He spoke solemnly, "Looking back, I was truly the undisputed guardian of this boundless forest!"
After speaking, he tilted his head slightly, his gaze piercing through the layers of dense, impenetrable branches and leaves, as if seeing through the mists of time and recognizing his former self, full of vigor and majesty.
At that time, he stood tall and straight like a pine tree, with eyes as sharp as an eagle.
They move back and forth through this forest, protecting every piece of land and every tree.
"But who could have predicted the fickle nature of fate!" His voice was filled with vicissitudes and sorrow.
I don't know when it started, but a treacherous, cunning, and venomous wizard, like a dark nightmare, quietly invaded my life.
He was like a ghost, his presence completely concealed, and before I knew it, he had silently taken control of everything.
The man's voice gradually lowered, as if suppressed by a heavy stone.
Every word reveals deep resentment and unwillingness, a sense of helplessness and resistance against the injustice of fate.
"That wretched wizard used his magic to force me to stay here and continue guarding."
A flicker of pain and despair crossed the man's eyes.
"If anyone dares to trespass into this forbidden area, I will have to harden my heart, wield my magical weapon, and take their life. Alas..."
He sighed deeply and looked down at his palms.
Those hands seemed to be trembling slightly, and there appeared to be traces of blood still on them.
It was as if every line of the skin concealed countless wronged souls and suffering.
"These hands are already stained with the blood of innocent people. I... I am unforgivable!"
Upon hearing this, the lay Buddhist Chongyang frowned deeply, his brows furrowing like two tangled mountain peaks.
He pressed on urgently, "Why did that person ask you to do this? Wasn't there even a reason?"
His eyes were filled with doubt and confusion; he felt both sympathy and bewilderment at the man's plight.
The man slowly shook his head, as if it were a very heavy movement, each swing carrying a thousand pounds of weight.
He sighed heavily and said, "To be honest, I know nothing about it either."
"All I know is that the wizard's strength is unfathomable, as awe-inspiring as a bottomless abyss."
At this point, the man couldn't help but shiver, as if a cold wind had pierced his body, and a deep fear appeared in his eyes.
It was as if the wizard was standing right in front of him, radiating a chilling aura.
"Moreover, he also cast a vicious curse on me."
"As long as I have the slightest thought or action that disobeys his will,"
"He could easily sense it, as if he had installed eyes in my mind and countless tentacles on my body."
"Then, he would mercilessly kill me, leaving me wishing for death and dying a miserable death under his clutches."
The man became more and more agitated as he spoke, and his body began to tremble violently as if those painful experiences were being replayed in his own body.
As soon as he finished speaking, the man suddenly closed his eyes tightly, as if avoiding something terrifying.
He collapsed to the ground, feeling as if he had lost all support.
In an instant, the surroundings fell into dead silence.
Only the rustling of leaves in the gentle breeze seemed to be nature sighing softly for this poor creature.
As everyone stared at the man's corpse, a wave of sorrow washed over them.
They never expected that this man, who had always inspired fear,
They were manipulated by others to commit this unjust act.
Just then, suddenly, an unnamed fire ignited within the man's body.
The flames seemed to be demons emerging from the depths of the earth, carrying an eerie aura, slowly burning his corpse to ashes.
Where he had been standing, a bead emitting a faint glow fell to the ground.
The light was like the moonlight on a lake, gentle yet mysterious.
Hua Yeman reacted quickly, rushing forward like a nimble deer, and carefully picked up the bead.
She examined the beads in her hand carefully; their surface was smooth and round.
It shimmered with a captivating luster under the soft light, as if it were carved from the purest gemstone in the world.
It exudes an air of mystery and unpredictability.
What's even more striking is that the beads are intricately carved with ancient and obscure runes.
These runes writhed slightly, as if alive, leaping and dancing on the surface of the bead.
It seems to be telling a story that is unknown to others and has been buried by the dust of time.
It also seems to conceal some earth-shattering secret, one that could shake the entire world.
Seeing this, the others also gathered around, their faces showing great curiosity.
Their gazes all focused on the mysterious bead.
His eyes sparkled with curiosity and doubt.
He secretly wondered: what kind of complicated and bizarre origin does this bead have?
What kind of thrilling and moving story is hidden behind it?
Just as everyone gathered around, pointing and discussing the mysterious bead,
Suddenly, without warning, a strong wind blew up.
This gust of wind came with extraordinary ferocity, like an enraged beast.
It swept past with the force of a tidal wave, carrying flying sand and stones.
Wherever it went, the branches creaked and groaned as if they were about to break at any moment.
Within the raging winds, it seemed as if countless unseen and intangible hands were concealed.
They stretched out their claws and fangs, exuding a sinister aura.
It lunged straight at the bead that the vines were tightly clutching.
It was as if they were trying to forcibly snatch the beads from her hands.
Hua Yeman's heart skipped a beat, as if an invisible hand had gripped it.
She instinctively gripped the beads tightly, her fingers turning white from the force.
They were afraid that the bead would be snatched away by a sudden, strange force.
Upon witnessing this scene, the lay Buddhist Chongyang turned deathly pale.
He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Everyone, be careful! There must be something special about this bead that attracted the greed of these ghosts!"
Before he could finish speaking, everyone seemed to suddenly wake up and quickly gathered around.
They quickly formed a tight circle, protecting the vines and children in the center.
Although everyone worked together to try and stop this strange and powerful force,
But there was nothing we could do; the opponent was simply too formidable.
The invisible force resembled a ferocious dragon, its mouth agape.
It relentlessly assaulted the defensive line formed by the people, each impact carrying immense force, making it difficult for them to stand.
