Lin Xiu stood tall at the entrance of Dragon Valley, looking up as the towering cliffs pierced the vault of the heavens like a massive, majestic barrier that split the entire world in two. From within the valley came the deafening roars of dragons, rolling in like surging waves that battered his eardrums, feeling as though they might shatter his very soul. Beside him, Bai Zhi held a staff that emitted a soft, holy glow, resembling a bright lighthouse in the pitch-black night, instilling a sense of calm and reassurance in the heart.
"Are you ready?" Lin Xiu turned his head slightly, his gaze burning as he looked at Bai Zhi—his eyes filled with an intense, eager anticipation of the unknown, yet laced with a trace of caution and vigilance.
Bai Zhi nodded firmly, an excited light sparkling in her eyes like the brightest stars in the night sky. Radiating an irrepressible thrill, she said, "I've heard legends of Dragon Valley for ages and always dreamed of coming here to explore. I never thought it would actually come true today. It feels like a dream."
