Chapter 291 Danger 4
Lingyu took a deep breath and continued forward with light steps. Soon after, she entered a vast and dense forest. This forest was like a green maze, with tall trees intertwined, their branches and leaves so lush they almost blocked out the sky. A thin mist hung in the air, dreamlike and ethereal, adding a touch of mystery to the entire scene.
Just then, a melodious and graceful flute tune suddenly reached Lingyu's ears. The flute music was like heavenly music, clear and pleasant, refreshing and delightful. A strong sense of curiosity welled up in Lingyu's heart, and she involuntarily walked in the direction from which the flute music came.
After traversing layers of trees and bushes, Lingyu finally spotted the flute player. A young man in a pristine white robe sat quietly beneath an ancient tree, a beautiful flute in his hand, gently playing a captivating melody. Surrounding him were many adorable little animals, some leaping and playing joyfully, others lying quietly beside him, listening to the music, as if they regarded him as the guardian of the forest.
Lingyu slowly approached the boy, her footsteps as light as a breeze rustling through the grass. When she was only a few steps away from him, the boy stopped playing, slowly raised his head, and their eyes met.
"There is a strong power fluctuation within you." The boy's voice was clear and gentle, like a clear spring flowing into one's heart.
Upon hearing this, Lingyu's heart tightened, and she immediately became more alert. However, when she carefully observed the boy's expression, she did not detect the slightest malice in his eyes. On the contrary, his gaze revealed friendliness and curiosity.
Seemingly sensing Ling Yu's concerns, the young man smiled slightly and explained, "Don't be nervous, I mean no harm. I was just a little surprised by the powerful aura within you." Then, he changed the subject, speaking mysteriously to Ling Yu, "Let me tell you a secret. There's a mysterious spiritual spring hidden in this forest. It's said that the spring contains extremely rich spiritual energy, and if you can soak in it and cultivate, you can greatly enhance your spiritual power. However..." At this point, the young man frowned slightly, a look of seriousness appearing on his face.
"But what?" Lingyu asked impatiently.
The boy sighed helplessly and slowly said, "Alas, that spiritual spring isn't something you can just obtain casually! There's an extremely powerful guardian beast guarding it day and night. To get close to that mysterious spiritual spring, you first have to defeat that fearsome guardian beast."
Upon hearing this, Lingyu's eyes hardened, and without hesitation, she made a bold decision—to go and test her skills. After a difficult search, she finally found the legendary spiritual spring. Just then, accompanied by a deafening roar that shook the earth, the enormous guardian beast suddenly appeared before her. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a majestic, snow-white, enormous deer.
The white deer, head held high and chest puffed out, eyes wide with rage, spewing forth a torrent of scorching flames as it charged straight at Lingyu. Faced with such a fierce attack, Lingyu remained calm. She nimbly dodged the white deer's attack and swiftly unleashed her newly acquired unique skills, engaging the deer in a thrilling and suspenseful battle.
The two fought fiercely, neither giving an inch, and for a time it was difficult to determine a victor. As the battle intensified, Lingyu suddenly recalled the powerful energy contained within the magical bead the villagers had given her. Without hesitation, she activated that energy once more. In an instant, a dazzling blue light erupted from the bead, enveloping Lingyu's entire body like a transparent shield.
Upon sensing this pure and powerful force, the ferocious white deer seemed to be intimidated and abruptly halted its attack. A moment later, the violent aura emanating from the white deer gradually dissipated, replaced by a gentle and friendly aura.
It turns out that this seemingly fierce white deer was actually deeply attracted by the mysterious energy emanating from the spiritual spring, which is why it had been guarding this place. The reason it attacked Lingyu was simply to test whether she had enough ability and qualifications to enjoy this incomparably precious spiritual spring.
After understanding the whole story, Lingyu finally felt relieved. In the following days, she cautiously approached the spiritual spring, fully immersing herself in the rich spiritual energy flowing from it. As this spiritual energy continuously entered her body, Lingyu could clearly feel her spiritual power increasing rapidly at an astonishing rate.
After the nourishment from the spiritual spring ended, Lingyu had undergone a complete transformation, possessing even greater strength. Filled with gratitude, she waved goodbye to the young man who had provided the crucial clue and the understanding white deer. Then, she resolutely turned and strode confidently towards the unknown yet infinitely challenging distant land ahead.
