After defeating the Giant Crab Monster, everyone turned their attention to the manual and the sword on the stone platform. The manual exuded an ancient and mysterious aura, as if whispering untold secrets; the sword's blade gleamed with a cold light, and the gemstone embedded in its hilt emitted a faint, soul-stirring glow.
Zhang Yue stepped forward, reaching out to take them, when suddenly, a black shadow darted from the depths of the cave like a ghost. Startled, everyone backed away, churning the lake water beneath their feet into ripples.
When the shadow came into view, it turned out to be a black panther radiating a dim, dark glow. The panther was huge, resembling a small black mountain, its sturdy body brimming with strength. Its ink-black fur looked even deeper under the cave's blue light, as if it could swallow all illumination. A pair of eyes burned like raging green flames, revealing endless cruelty and coldness. Its sharp claws glinted in the cold light, each one like a sharp dagger that sent chills down the spine.
