Lin Yue and Li Yi were extremely anxious as they watched the epidemic break out again. Lin Yue immediately returned to the village and rediagnosed the villagers' conditions. However, the symptoms of the epidemic this time were different from before, and the potion she had prepared previously no longer had any effect.
"How could this be? It seems that the epidemic has mutated." Lin Yue frowned tightly, her heart filled with confusion and worry.
Li Yi looked at Lin Yue's tired appearance and felt very distressed..
"Miss Lin, take a rest first. Let's think of a way together."
Lin Yue shook her head.
"Your Highness, the villagers' situation is critical. I can't rest."
Just when they were feeling desperate, a mysterious old man suddenly appeared in the village. The old man was dressed in a black robe, with white hair, but his eyes were bright and sharp. He looked at Lin Yue and Li Yi and said,
"I know you're troubled by the epidemic. I can help you."
Lin Yue and Li Yi looked at the old man in surprise.
"Sir, can you really help us?"
The old man nodded slightly.
"I'm the guardian of this mountain forest, and I know many secrets. This epidemic is the doing of the dark forces. They intend to use the epidemic to rule this land."
Li Yi clenched his fists.
"Dark forces? Why are they doing this?"
The old man said,
"They covet the power of the Spirit Crystal and want to obtain it to fulfill their ambitions. And this epidemic is the first step of their plan."
Lin Yue was shocked.
"Then what should we do?"
The old man looked at the Spirit Crystal in Lin Yue's hand.
"The Spirit Crystal is the key to fighting against the dark forces. But to unleash its full power, it also requires your wisdom and courage."
Under the guidance of the old man, Lin Yue began to study the power of the Spirit Crystal. She found that the Spirit Crystal could not only cure diseases but also contained powerful energy that could be used to fight against the dark forces. However, it was not easy to control the power of the Spirit Crystal. During the process of trying, Lin Yue was almost backlashed by the power of the Spirit Crystal several times.
"Miss Lin, are you okay?"
Li Yi was very worried as he looked at Lin Yue's painful expression.
Lin Yue endured the pain and shook her head slightly.
"Your Highness, I'm okay. I must master the power of the Spirit Crystal."
After many attempts, Lin Yue finally found a way to control the power of the Spirit Crystal. She injected the power of the Spirit Crystal into the newly prepared potion and then distributed it to the villagers. The potion worked wonders, and the villagers' conditions gradually improved.
However, the dark forces did not give up. After learning that Lin Yue had mastered the power of the Spirit Crystal, they decided to launch a final attack. One night, the leader of the dark forces, accompanied by a group of his subordinates, came to the village. They were all shrouded in darkness, and an evil light shone in their eyes.
"Hand over the Spirit Crystal, or this village will cease to exist."
The leader of the dark forces said coldly.
Li Yi stood in front of Lin Yue and drew his sword.
"Don't even think about it. We will never let you succeed."
The final battle broke out in the village. Li Yi and the guards engaged in a fierce battle with the dark forces. Lin Yue, on the other hand, used the power of the Spirit Crystal to support everyone. She shone the light of the Spirit Crystal on the dark forces, and the members of the dark forces let out painful cries under the illumination of the light.
Seeing this, the leader of the dark forces was furious. He personally attacked and charged towards Lin Yue. Li Yi quickly stood in front of Lin Yue and engaged in a life-and-death battle with the leader of the dark forces. The leader of the dark forces was highly skilled in martial arts, and Li Yi gradually began to struggle to resist.
"Your Highness!"
Lin Yue shouted in horror.
She concentrated her mind and exerted the power of the Spirit Crystal to the fullest. A powerful beam of light shot towards the leader of the dark forces. The leader of the dark forces couldn't dodge in time and was hit by the light. He let out a scream and fell to the ground.
When the members of the dark forces saw that their leader was defeated, they fled in all directions. Lin Yue and Li Yi finally defeated the dark forces and saved the village. The villagers cheered with joy. They looked at Lin Yue and Li Yi gratefully.
"Miss Lin, Your Highness, thank you. You saved us."
Lin Yue and Li Yi looked at the cheering villagers, their hearts filled with relief. They knew that although this crisis had been temporarily resolved, there would be more challenges waiting for them in the future. However, they were not afraid because they believed that as long as they were together, there was no difficulty that they could not overcome.
