Earth's catastrophe, crazy black crystals begin to wreak havoc

They followed the cry and found a little girl trembling with her knees in the grass.

\"Little girl, are you lost? We can help you get home.\" Hibart said softly.

The little girl looked up at the three of them, her eyes full of fear and helplessness with tears yet to dry up.

"I, I don't know how to get home, I'm so scared!" the little girl sobbed.

Ortega, Hibat and Ouyang Yuyan exchanged glances and decided to help the little girl find a home before continuing to look for Tongzi Lei.

After some hard work, they finally returned the little girl home safely.

"Thank you! You are my lifesaver!" The little girl's mother thanked her excitedly.

\"You're welcome, we feel very honored to be able to help you. By the way, does anyone nearby know about the plant Tongzi Tears? We urgently need it to make medicine.\" Ouyang Yuyan asked.

The little girl's mother thought for a moment and then said: "Children's tears? It seems that there is a place called \u0027Forgetting Valley\u0027 at the foot of the mountain where people often collect them. You can go there and have a look."

Ortega, Hibat and Ouyang Yuyan thanked the girl's mother. It started to rain and it gradually became dark. They had no choice but to stay here. They began to hear some screams at night, each sound more terrifying than the last.

Ortega, Hibat and Ouyang Yuyan thanked the girl's mother and were about to leave when suddenly the sky became overcast and a heavy rain poured down. Realizing that it was impossible to continue in such weather conditions, they decided to find a place to stay for the night nearby.

In the center of the village they found a simple country house. Although the room was basic, it was enough for them. They lit candles and warmth filled the house.

\"At least we have a place to shelter from the rain, which is considered lucky,\" Hibart said with a wry smile.

\"Yes, I hope the weather will improve tomorrow and we will continue to look for Tongzi Tears.\" Ouyang Yuyan comforted.

At this moment, a scream came from a distance, harsh and terrifying. The expressions of the three people changed suddenly, and they exchanged glances with each other for a moment. Then, more miserable screams reached their ears, and the sounds gradually got closer.

"What's going on? Is someone injured?" Ortega asked nervously.

Without waiting for an answer, the continuous screams made their hearts beat faster and their hair stood on end. They immediately decided to get out of the cabin and look for the source of the sound.

Outside the country house, black night enveloped the earth, and the only sound around was the sound of falling raindrops. The three of them walked tremblingly across the muddy path, lighting their way with candles in their hands.

Suddenly, Hibart stepped on something under his feet, making a crackling sound. He looked down and saw that he had crushed a broken piece of pottery.

\"What is this?\" He bent down and picked up the fragments. Just as he was about to take a closer look, a strange giggle sounded from behind them.

The three people turned around suddenly and saw a group of mysterious figures gathering not far away. They were holding broken clay pots and broken wooden dolls, their faces were distorted, and their eyes glowed green.

"What's going on?" Ouyang Yuyan held the candle in her hand tightly.

The mysterious crowd gradually approached the three people and burst into harsh laughter. After a while, they will be surrounded by Ortega, Hibat and Ouyang Yuyan, with evil and fanaticism in their eyes.

"Who are you? Why are you treating us like this?" Ortega tried to remain calm and tried to have a conversation with the mysterious crowd to find answers.

\"Hahaha, there are new tributes!\" A person in the mysterious crowd said viciously.

"What are we going to do? Let us go!" Ouyang Yuyan shouted loudly.

As soon as her voice fell, the mysterious crowd suddenly launched an attack and rushed towards Ortega, Hibat and Ouyang Yuyan. Ouyang Yuyan quickly stepped back, trying to protect herself and her companions, while Ortega and Hibat took out their magic tools.

Fireballs formed in their hands and flew towards the mysterious crowd, but each fireball was flexibly avoided by the mysterious crowd. They were like shadows, dodging every attack with ease.

\"They're so fast! We have to find a way!\" Hibart shouted.

Just when the three of them were in desperate situation, a high-pitched wolf howl sounded from a distance. Then, a huge black wolf-shaped monster suddenly appeared in the scene.

\"It's the Shadow Wolf! We are saved!\" Ouyang Yuyan was overjoyed.

The shadow wolf's eyes flashed with cold light. It followed Ouyang Yuyan and launched an attack on the mysterious crowd.

The ferocious shadow wolf shuttled among the mysterious crowd, its sharp teeth and claws bringing out streaks of blood, causing heavy damage. The mysterious crowd was defeated by the attack of the shadow wolf and broke up one after another, fleeing the scene.

\"Thank you, Shadow Wolf!\" Ortega said gratefully.

The shadow wolf lowered his head slightly, as if in response to Ortega's words, and then disappeared into the darkness.

"The Shadow Wolf is the patron saint of this area. It will protect those who are harmed by evil forces. It seems that we have been protected by it." Hibart explained.

The three of them looked gratefully at the vanishing point in the darkness, their hearts filled with awe and gratitude.

But they had no time to relax, because the horrific scenes that followed were even more chilling.

When they returned to the cabin, they noticed something strange inside. The flame of the candle flickered, and the room was filled with a cold atmosphere. Hibart looked around and suddenly saw a vague figure flashing past the corner.

"Have you seen that figure?" Hibart asked warily.

Ortega and Ouyang Yuyan stared at the corner, but saw nothing. Their hearts beat faster and they felt an ominous atmosphere filling the air.

Suddenly, a slight cry sounded, harsh and sad. The three of them moved into a cramped room and felt extremely depressed, as if there was an invisible terrifying force surrounding them.

\"Where did it come from?\" Ouyang Yuyan asked in a low voice.

As soon as she finished speaking, the lights in the room suddenly went out, plunging them into darkness. A chill hit their hearts, as if countless cold fingers were touching their skin.

\"This is a trap!\" Ortega opened his eyes wide, trying to find an exit in the darkness.

The next moment, the room became quiet, and only the rapid breathing of the three people could be heard. However, just when they thought the danger had passed, a black line suddenly appeared on the wall.

The black lines spread quickly, forming a terrifying rune pattern. The atmosphere in the room became increasingly oppressive and made people feel suffocated.

"Go! It's not safe here!" Ouyang Yuyan shouted in panic.

The three decided to risk their lives and escape from the cabin. They overcame the darkness and obstacles and struggled towards the door. But just a few steps away from the door, Hibart was tightly bound by an invisible force and unable to move.

\"Hibat!\" Ortega and Ouyang Yuyan shouted in horror at the same time.

Hibart struggled with all his strength, but the invisible force was as unbreakable as an iron chain. His eyes were filled with despair.
