Naruto Bond

After taking a short break, Lu Fei and Naruto began to inspect the battlefield. The surroundings were in a mess, with water stains from the melted ice and snow, bloodstains, broken ice and rocks intertwined, witnessing the cruelty of the fierce battle just now.

They walked towards the body of the North Wind Wolf King, and every step was filled with respect for this powerful opponent. Although it was an enemy, the strength and tenacious fighting spirit it showed were worth remembering. When they got closer, they could feel the remaining ice elemental power on the wolf king. The coldness was still biting, but it was no longer threatening.

"This battle was really not easy. I hope the people of this land can be free from its threat." Naruto said with emotion. He squatted down and gently stroked the wolf king's fur, his eyes full of complex emotions.

Lu Fei nodded, "Yes, it is a worthy opponent. We have to keep moving forward. I don't know how many more dangers like this are waiting for us on this continent." He looked into the distance, his eyes deep and firm. The mountains stretched endlessly, shining with golden light under the sunlight, as if calling for unknown adventures.

Just then, they heard a slight sound of footsteps. The two immediately became alert and turned to look in the direction of the sound. They saw a group of people in strange costumes walking towards them. Some of them held magic wands, some carried bows and arrows, and their eyes were full of awe and curiosity.

"Who are you? Are you the ones who defeated the North Wind Wolf King?" A man who looked like a leader asked loudly, his voice echoing in the empty battlefield.

Lu Fei took a step forward and said, "We are travelers passing by here. We couldn't bear to see this wolf king continue to cause trouble, so we took action."

When the group heard this, they all showed expressions of surprise and gratitude. The leader stepped forward and bowed deeply to Lu Fei and Naruto, "Thank you, the North Wind Wolf King has been ravaging our homeland for a long time, and we have never been able to do anything about it. You are our benefactors."

Naruto smiled and scratched his head, "You're welcome. This is what we are supposed to do. Are you residents of this land?"

The leader nodded and began to tell them the story of this land. It turned out that this was a border area of ​​the continent of Teyvat, and the people had been living a peaceful life until the North Wind Wolf King appeared. It brought endless cold and destruction, and many people lost their homes and loved ones. They tried to resist, but the power of the Wolf King was too strong, and they suffered heavy losses every time.

"We originally thought that our lives would be shrouded in darkness forever, but we didn't expect you to show up." Tears flashed in the leader's eyes.

Lu Fei patted the leader's shoulder and said, "We will continue to protect the peace of this land. Have you found any other abnormal situations? For example, are there similar dangers in other places?"

The leader thought for a moment and then replied, "We have heard some rumors recently that a mysterious force is surging in the mysterious forest in the north. It used to be our holy land, but now there are some strange sounds and lights coming from there, and we dare not approach it."

Lu Fei and Naruto looked at each other, and they saw the same decision in each other's eyes.

"Let's go check it out." Naruto said.

"Well, maybe this is our next challenge." Lu Fei responded.

After bidding farewell to the grateful residents, Lu Fei and Naruto headed north. Along the way, they passed through valleys and rivers covered with ice and snow, and the surrounding scenery became increasingly cold and mysterious. As they gradually approached the mysterious forest, a mysterious atmosphere filled the air, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching them in the dark.

Finally, they came to the edge of the mysterious forest. The trees here were tall and ancient, with strange runes and patterns carved on the trunks. The branches intertwined with each other, forming a natural barrier that blocked most of the sunlight, making the interior of the forest appear gloomy and dark.

"Something feels wrong here." Lu Fei gripped the Thunder Flame Sword tightly and said in a low voice.

Naruto also felt the oppressive atmosphere, he turned on the Sage Mode and stepped into the forest carefully. The forest was filled with a thin layer of mist, and there seemed to be shadows of various shapes flashing in the mist, which made people shudder.

Suddenly, a sharp cry came from the depths of the forest. The sound was like nails scratching on a blackboard, making people shudder. Then, a group of black birds flew over their heads. The eyes of these birds flashed a strange red light. Their flight brought a biting cold wind, which made Lu Fei and Naruto shiver.

"Be careful, something's coming out." Naruto said vigilantly, his body surrounded by golden chakra, ready to deal with any possible danger.

Lu Fei nodded, his source power surged in his body, echoing with the light of the Thunder Flame Sword.

They continued to go deeper into the forest.
