Chapter 56: Journey to the Holy Land Canyon

In the conference hall of the "Spirit Tree Council", the situation of Third Elder Lingfeng being eroded by the dark power worried everyone. In order to save Lingfeng and purify the dark power on him, the main characters, led by Lynn, resolutely embarked on the journey to the Holy Land Canyon.

The morning sun shone on the square of the "Spirit Tree Council". Everyone packed their bags and prepared to set off. Kyle tightened the stardust long sword around his waist and looked ahead with a determined gaze. Elsa carried her staff on her back, and a trace of expectation and nervousness showed in her ice-blue eyes. Morgan was excitedly bouncing in place, eager to try, as if he couldn't wait to welcome the new challenge. Cavin carefully checked the magical tools he carried to ensure that everything was ready. Alicia stood quietly aside. Her instincts as an interstellar guardian made her highly vigilant about the upcoming adventure.

Lynn walked up to everyone and said solemnly, "Everyone, the Holy Land Canyon is one of the most mysterious and dangerous places in our Colorful Spirit Tree Star Domain. Not only is the environment there complex, but also various unknown dangers lurk. However, according to the elders of my family, there is also a mysterious power hidden in the canyon that can purify the dark power. So we must go there."

Kyle nodded and said, "No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, we will not flinch. In order to save Elder Lingfeng and also to save the spirit trees, we must find that purifying power." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Along the way, Lynn introduced the situation of the Holy Land Canyon to the main characters in detail. "The Holy Land Canyon is located in a remote area of the star domain and is shrouded in ancient legends. The cliffs on both sides of the canyon are made of strange spirit tree ores. These ores emit a faint and mysterious light, and their textures are intricate, as if recording the unknown history of the star domain." Lynn's voice was low and steady, as if bringing everyone into that mysterious world.

Elsa asked curiously, "Then what is the environment inside the canyon like?" Lynn frowned slightly and said, "There is a layer of colorful mist inside the canyon. This mist contains unique spirit tree energy. Although inhaling the mist can make people feel a subtle power fluctuation, it is precisely this energy that makes the environment in the canyon extremely complex. At the bottom of the canyon, there is a winding river flowing through. The river water is a deep purple color, shining with a mysterious luster. The river water contains powerful energy. If one touches it rashly, there is a high possibility of being backlashed by the energy, resulting in serious damage to the body."

When Morgan heard this, he couldn't help but click his tongue. "It sounds so dangerous. Then how are we going to cross the river?" Lynn shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about the specific way to cross the river. We can only act according to the situation when the time comes. Maybe we can find a safe way to cross the river."

Cavin pushed his glasses and said, "Besides the river, are there any other dangers in the canyon?" Lynn nodded and continued, "The ground of the canyon is covered with spirit tree crystals of various shapes. Some of these crystals are crystal-clear and emit a soft light; some are covered with strange patterns, seemingly hiding some powerful force. However, some of the crystals have been infiltrated by the 'Dark Erosion' power, and a faint layer of black mist covers their surfaces. When someone approaches, the crystals will suddenly release dark energy and attack the person approaching, which is hard to guard against."

Kyle frowned and said, "It seems that we must be extra careful when walking in the canyon and not touch those crystals easily." Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Besides, there are also various strange plants growing in the canyon," Lynn continued. "There is a plant called the 'Shadow Thorns'. Its branches are hidden under the ground, and the surface is covered with sharp thorns that flash with a black light. Once someone accidentally steps on it, the Shadow Thorns will instantly break through the ground and entangle the person tightly. The dark power on the thorns will quickly erode the body of the entangled person and weaken their strength. There is also a ' Enchanting Flower ' . When the flower blooms, it will emit a charming fragrance with a strong hallucinogenic effect. People who inhale this fragrance will fall into a state of hallucination, unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, and thus get lost deep in the canyon."

After hearing this, Alicia said, "These plants are really troublesome. We need to stay vigilant at all times to avoid falling into their traps."

Morgan suddenly asked curiously, "Lynn, since the Holy Land Canyon is so mysterious, are there any special legendary stories?" Lynn was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Of course. It is said that a long, long time ago, the Colorful Spirit Tree Star Domain encountered an unprecedented disaster. A dark force tried to engulf the entire star domain. Just when the spirit trees and the clan members fell into despair, a mysterious spirit tree messenger descended. He held a staff emitting multicolored lights and walked into the Holy Land Canyon. Deep in the canyon, he found a mysterious purifying power. With the help of this power, the messenger successfully repelled the dark force and saved the star domain. Since then, the Holy Land Canyon has been regarded as a sacred place, and people believe that the purifying power in it still exists, waiting for the destined person to awaken it."

Kyle thought for a moment and said, "So, this time we might also be able to save Elder Lingfeng and the spirit trees with the help of the purifying power, just like that messenger." Lynn nodded firmly, "That's right. We came here with such hope."

During the conversation among everyone, they had gradually approached the Holy Land Canyon. Looking from a distance, the towering cliffs on both sides of the canyon stood there like giants, exuding a mysterious aura. The colorful mist rose from the canyon, as if it were a passage to a mysterious world.

Morgan excitedly pointed at the canyon and said, "Look, that's the Holy Land Canyon! It looks so magnificent!" Kyle patted Morgan on the shoulder and said, "Don't just look at the appearance. There are many dangers hidden inside. Everyone must be careful."

When they reached the entrance of the canyon, a powerful spirit tree energy rushed towards them. Everyone took a deep breath and stepped into the Holy Land Canyon. As soon as they entered, they felt the unique atmosphere in the canyon. The colorful mist lingered around them, and the mysterious light emitted by the spirit tree ores flickered in the mist, as if they had entered a dreamlike world.

Lynn stopped and said to everyone, "From now on, we need to be even more careful. Everyone maintain a close formation and pay attention to the surrounding situation at all times." Everyone nodded and carefully walked towards the depths of the canyon.

During the journey forward, Cavin suddenly said, "Lynn, you mentioned before that there is a powerful guardian beast in the canyon. How powerful is it exactly?" Lynn's face became solemn, and he said, "The guardian beast is huge in size, covered with black scales all over its body. The scales flash with a strange red light. Its eyes are like two burning flames, exuding a powerful sense of oppression. The guardian beast is extremely vigilant against outsiders who enter the canyon. Once it finds someone entering, it will not hesitate to launch an attack. It can not only spray black flames, turning everything around it into ashes, but also wave its huge claws, easily tearing apart hard rocks."

Elsa couldn't help but shiver and said, "It sounds terrifying. Can we really defeat it?" Kyle said firmly, "We are not fighting alone. If we work together, we will definitely find a way to deal with it. Moreover, our goal is to find the power to purify the darkness. As long as we don't provoke the guardian beast on purpose, maybe we can avoid a direct conflict with it."

Morgan suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "That's right. We still have Alicia! She is an interstellar guardian and must have a way to deal with the guardian beast." Alicia smiled slightly and said, "I will do my best to protect everyone, but we should still try to avoid unnecessary battles and focus on completing the task."
