The afterglow of the setting sun filled the town, coating the bluestone road with a warm golden color. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen held Ling'er and hurriedly walked on the path leading to the old village chief's house. Ling'er opened her eyes wide with curiosity, and waved her little hands from time to time, trying to catch the golden light.

The old village chief was sitting on a rattan chair in the yard, leisurely sipping tea. Seeing the family of three, the old village chief smiled kindly, with wisdom gleaming in his cloudy eyes. "You are here." His voice was low and powerful, as if carrying the vicissitudes of life.

"Old village chief, we have encountered a problem and would like to ask you for advice." Chu Mengmeng stated the purpose of her visit straight away, and told the old village chief in detail about the difficulties in fighting against the black magic and finding the incomplete map.

After listening to this, the old village chief slowly put down the teacup in his hand and fell into deep thought. He looked at the rolling hills in the distance, as if he saw the long history of the town. "The evil devil has committed many evils and has always been a major concern for our town..." The old village chief sighed and began to talk about the past of the town.

He told the story of how the ancestors worked together and used the surrounding environment and resources to repel the invasion of monsters time and time again. He said that wisdom and courage are the magic weapons to overcome all difficulties.

Ling'er listened and gradually became quiet, her big eyes full of curiosity and admiration. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were also fascinated by what they heard, and they seemed to see a completely new path from the old village chief's story.

"Children," the old village chief said earnestly, "the black magic is powerful, but it is not invincible. You must learn to observe, think, and make good use of everything around you to find a way to defeat the enemy."

The old village chief's words were like a flash of lightning, breaking through the fog in Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's hearts. They suddenly realized that they had always been intimidated by the power of the black devil and ignored the power of the surrounding environment and resources.

"Old village chief, I understand!" Chu Mengmeng's eyes sparkled with hope. "You are right. We can't just sit there and wait for death, and we can't be scared by the difficulties in front of us!"

Night fell, and the stars were shining brightly. The old village chief took out an ancient parchment scroll from the house and slowly unfolded it. "This is the map of our town..." He pointed to an inconspicuous corner on the map, "Legend has it that here..." The old village chief lowered his voice, as if telling an ancient secret, "There is a hidden secret..." The old village chief pointed to a corner on the parchment scroll, where a vague pattern was marked with ancient symbols. "Is this... Misty Forest?" Chu Mengmeng looked at the pattern, full of doubts. There was no place with this name near the town.

"This forest is shrouded in fog all year round, and the entrance will only appear on the night when the moonlight is the brightest." The old village chief explained, "Legend has it that it was once the secluded place of a powerful magician in ancient times, and he left behind some secret weapons to fight against evil forces."

Under the guidance of the old village chief, Chu Mengmeng found a way to enter the misty forest. On a full-moon night, she stepped into this mysterious area alone. The mist was thick, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and the ancient atmosphere was blowing in her face, as if time had stopped here. Chu Mengmeng moved forward cautiously, and from time to time she heard strange sounds in her ears, but she had no fear in her heart, only determination.

At the same time, Xiao Yichen also began to take action. He gathered all the residents in the town square and told them about the threat of the black magic and the difficulties they were facing. "We can't just sit there and wait for death," Xiao Yichen said in a loud and firm voice, "We must unite and protect our homeland!"

At Xiao Yichen's call, the town residents responded one after another. They spontaneously organized themselves and formed a self-defense team. The men picked up tools, reinforced the walls, and forged weapons; the women prepared food and medicine and took care of the wounded. The whole town was mobilized to prepare for the upcoming challenge.

A few days later, Chu Mengmeng walked out of the misty forest. She looked a little tired, but her eyes were unusually bright. She found Xiao Yichen and spread out her palm. A gem emitting a faint light was lying quietly in her palm. "This is..." Xiao Yichen looked at the gem in surprise. He could feel the powerful power contained in it.

"I found this in the depths of the Misty Forest," Chu Mengmeng explained, "I believe this is the secret weapon that the old village chief mentioned..." Her eyes suddenly fell on Ling'er who was learning magic not far away, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, "It seems that we have overlooked someone..."

"Ling'er, come here." Chu Mengmeng waved her hand, and Ling'er ran over, holding a magic book that was bigger than her head. "Mom, look, I learned a new magic!" Ling'er said excitedly, waving her little hand, and a small flame jumped on her fingertips.

"Ling'er is so amazing!" Chu Mengmeng smiled and touched Ling'er's head, "However, today mom will teach you to identify a kind of herb, which may help us defeat the black magic."

Ling'er's curiosity was aroused. She opened her eyes wide and listened carefully to Chu Mengmeng's explanation. Chu Mengmeng took out the book she brought back from the Misty Forest and turned to a page with a picture of a strange plant with silvery white leaves and lavender flowers. "This herb is called 'Moon Shadow Grass'. It can absorb the surrounding magical elements, especially the dark magical elements."

Ling'er was listening while flipping through the magic book in her hand. Suddenly, she pointed at an illustration in the book and exclaimed, "Mom, look, isn't this Moon Shadow Grass?"

Chu Mengmeng took the book and took a look. Sure enough, the illustration depicted Moon Shadow Grass, and there was a line of small words next to it: "Moon Shadow Grass, cold in nature, can suppress dark magic, used for refining..."

"Use it for refining?!" Chu Mengmeng and Ling'er looked at each other, and both saw hope in each other's eyes. If the Moon Shadow Grass could be refined into a potion, wouldn't it greatly weaken the magic power of the Black Demon?

In the next few days, Chu Mengmeng and her family of three were all engaged in intensive preparations. With the help of the old village chief, Xiao Yichen made potions from the Moon Shadow Grass and distributed them to the residents who were about to participate in the battle. Chu Mengmeng took Ling'er and used the teleportation array to go to the town of other survivors, told them about the Black Demon's upcoming attack plan, and asked for their support.

"The power of the black devil is too strong. We can't just sit there and wait for death. We must unite to have a chance to defeat him!" Chu Mengmeng said sincerely, her eyes firm and full of hope.

Some survivors expressed doubts about Chu Mengmeng's words, but when they saw the glowing potion in her hand and the powerful magical fluctuations emanating from Ling'er beside her, they finally chose to believe it.

"We are willing to do our part!" A burly middle-aged man stood up and said, he is the leader of another survivor town, "We can't let the black devil's conspiracy succeed!"

More and more survivors joined their team. They came from all directions with weapons, food and medicine, and gathered into a powerful force.

After several days of preparation, Chu Mengmeng and her family confidently awaited the "judgment" of the black devil, ready for the final decisive battle.

As night fell, Xiao Yichen stood on the city wall, looking at the dark sky in the distance. He knew that the moment of the decisive battle was finally coming. He clenched the sword in his hand, and the sword reflected the moonlight, illuminating his resolute face.

"coming……"

As soon as Xiao Yichen finished speaking, black cracks suddenly appeared in the sky, as if the sky was torn apart by someone. Streams of cold air poured out from the cracks, covering the entire town.

"Here it comes!" Chu Mengmeng stood beside Xiao Yichen, held his hand tightly, and looked at the sky with a firm gaze.

Ling'er hugged Chu Mengmeng's legs tightly, her little face full of nervousness, but she didn't cry. Instead, she said in a childish voice: "Mom and Dad, I'm not afraid!"

As the crack grew larger, a huge black figure slowly descended from the sky. Black fog rolled in, and his face could not be seen clearly. Only a pair of scarlet eyes could be seen, like two burning flames, emitting a terrifying light.

"This is the Black Demon..." The old village chief stood at the foot of the city wall, looking up at the huge figure, his cloudy eyes filled with solemnity, "It's even scarier than the legend!"

"How dare you, ants, resist me!" The Black Devil's voice sounded like it came from the Netherworld, carrying with it endless pressure and anger. "Today, I will destroy all of you!"

"Don't be afraid, we are ready!" Chu Mengmeng said loudly. Although her voice was crisp, it was full of power and spread throughout the town.

As Chu Mengmeng finished her words, magical lights lit up in every corner of the town, and magical attacks shot up into the sky, shooting towards the black demon in the air.

"You are overestimating yourself!" The black magician snorted coldly. Black mist formed a barrier around him, blocking all magical attacks outside.

"Their attacks have no effect on him!"

"What should we do? We are no match for him!"

Seeing this scene, some survivors began to feel despair. They originally thought that as long as they united, they would be able to defeat the dark devil, but now it seems that their power is so small in front of the dark devil.

"Don't give up hope!" Chu Mengmeng said loudly, "We still have the last trump card!"

She turned her head and looked at Xiao Yichen, and said with a firm look in her eyes: "Yichen, act according to the plan!"

Xiao Yichen nodded, tightened his grip on the sword, and said to the warriors beside him: "Follow me!"

They left the city wall quietly and sneaked towards a dense forest outside the town.

"Mengmeng, you have to be careful!" The old village chief looked at Chu Mengmeng, his eyes full of worry.

Chu Mengmeng smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, old village chief, I will be fine."

After saying that, she turned around, faced the black demon in the air, took a deep breath, and slowly raised her right hand. In her palm, a dazzling golden light was gathering...

"Dark Demon, your doomsday has come!" Chu Mengmeng's voice exploded in the night sky like thunder.
