Chapter 59: The Appearance of the Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast

Inside the Holy Land Canyon, which was filled with mist and uneven with strange rocks, Kyle, Elsa, Morgan, Cavin, Alicia, and Lynn were struggling to grope their way forward. While avoiding the attacks of the Shadow Thorns and the Enchanting Flower, they were constantly trying to find their way forward. However, this mysterious canyon seemed like a huge maze, gradually wearing down everyone's physical strength and willpower.

"No, if this goes on, we won't be able to find any clues about the substance to purify the 'Dark Erosion'. This canyon is too big, and it feels like we've been going in circles," Morgan gasped, his voice tinged with a trace of frustration. The weapon in his hand swayed casually, and weariness and confusion were evident in his eyes. Kyle gripped his stardust long sword tightly, his brows furrowed. He looked around, attempting to spot new clues amidst the monotonous mist and strange rocks, but to no avail. "Don't lose heart, everyone. We'll definitely find a way," Kyle said, though a hint of anxiety crept into his heart despite his reassuring words.

A faint light flickered on Elsa's ice staff. She remained vigilant against the surrounding dangers and was also trying hard to think of a way out of this predicament. "Maybe we should change our approach and reexamine the surrounding environment. There might be some details that we've overlooked," Elsa said softly, her voice somewhat ethereal in the mist. Cavin adjusted the magical detection tool while shaking his head and sighing. "This tool is useless in this canyon. The energy fluctuations are too chaotic, and I can't detect anything." Lynn kept recalling the legends about the Holy Land Canyon in his family, hoping to find a spark of inspiration, but the clues in his mind were as illusory and elusive as the mist in the canyon.

Just as everyone was feeling desperate, a brilliant light suddenly streaked across the sky, breaking the dullness and silence of the canyon. "What's that?" Morgan was the first to spot the light, and he pointed excitedly at the sky, hope reigniting in his eyes. Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and a huge and strange creature came into their view. This creature had a pair of enormous and transparent wings that shimmered with the multicolored light of the spirit trees. Its body was as solid as the trunk of a spirit tree, covered with a layer of scales that glimmered faintly. It was the legendary Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast.

"It's the Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast!" Lynn exclaimed excitedly. "Legend has it that it knows all the secrets of the Holy Land Canyon. Maybe it can help us find clues about the purifying substance!" After hearing this, a new strength welled up in everyone's hearts. Kyle immediately tightened his grip on his long sword and said, "Let's follow it quickly!" So, everyone chased in the direction where the Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast had appeared.

The Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast seemed to sense everyone's intention. Instead of flying away immediately, it slowly circled in the air, and the multicolored light illuminated the surrounding mist. Everyone approached cautiously, both fearing an attack from the Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast and worrying about losing sight of it. "Everyone, be careful. Approach slowly and don't startle it," Kyle said in a hushed voice. Everyone closely followed Kyle and moved towards the Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast step by step.

When everyone got close enough, the Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast suddenly let out a clear chirp. The sound was like the music of the heavens, echoing in the canyon. At the same time, the light on its body became even more dazzling, as if it were conveying some kind of message to everyone. Lynn closed his eyes and concentrated, trying to decipher the intention of the Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast. After a moment, he opened his eyes and said excitedly, "It seems to be saying that we should follow it, and it will lead us to what we're looking for."

After hearing this, everyone was filled with pleasant surprise. However, the process of following the Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast was not smooth. Besides the Shadow Thorns and the Enchanting Flower, there were other potential dangers in the canyon. Just as they were following the Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast, the ground suddenly began to shake. Then, several huge spirit tree crystals burst out from the ground and crashed towards everyone. Kyle reacted quickly. He brandished his stardust long sword and split one of the spirit tree crystals in half. Elsa also cast her ice magic, freezing another spirit tree crystal and rendering it harmless.

"Everyone, be careful. The dangers in this canyon are everywhere," Kyle shouted in warning. While avoiding the attacks of the spirit tree crystals, everyone continued to follow the Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast. The Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast seemed not to care about everyone's predicament. It still leisurely circled in the air, waiting for everyone to catch up.

During the process of evading the attacks of the spirit tree crystals, Morgan accidentally inhaled the fragrance of the Enchanting Flower, and his eyes glazed over again. "Morgan, wake up!" Alicia rushed over to support him as soon as she noticed something was wrong with Morgan. She shook his body vigorously, trying to bring him back to his senses. At the same time, Elsa also cast a spell to create an ice barrier around Morgan to prevent the further intrusion of the fragrance of the Enchanting Flower. With everyone's efforts, Morgan finally regained his clarity.

"Sorry, I almost held everyone back again," Morgan said guiltily. "It's okay. Everyone, be more careful and don't let these dangers get to us again," Kyle comforted. Everyone continued to move forward. They remained vigilant against the surrounding dangers and tried their best to maintain a proper distance from the Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast.

The Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast led everyone to an open area. The cliffs around were towering, the spirit tree ores emitted a faint light, and the multicolored mist curled in the air, creating an otherworldly scene. The Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast slowly landed on a huge spirit tree crystal. It looked at everyone, and a mysterious light flickered in its eyes.

"Why did it stop?" Cavin asked in confusion. Lynn stepped forward, attempting to communicate with the Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast. He closed his eyes and tried to feel the thoughts of the Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast with his heart. After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "It said that this is a special place, and the clues to the purifying substance are here. It told us to search carefully."

After hearing this, everyone immediately began to search for clues. They shuttled among the spirit tree crystals, carefully observing the texture and light of each crystal. Kyle gently tapped the spirit tree crystals with his stardust long sword, trying to uncover the hidden secrets. Elsa used her ice magic to disperse the mist around the spirit tree crystals for a better view. Morgan and Cavin worked together to study the strange symbols on the spirit tree crystals, hoping to decipher their meanings. Alicia, with her keen perception as an interstellar guardian, searched for abnormal energy fluctuations in the surrounding air.

However, after a thorough search, everyone found no useful clues. They turned their eyes to the Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast again, hoping it would provide more hints. The Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast looked at everyone, and a trace of amusement seemed to flash in its eyes. It let out another chirp, then flapped its wings and traced a multicolored light in the air. After the light disappeared, everyone noticed that some strange symbols had appeared on the ground.

"These symbols are somewhat similar to the ones we saw on the strange rocks before. Could this be the clue to the purifying substance?" Kyle said excitedly. Lynn stepped forward and examined the symbols carefully. A look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face. "That's right. These symbols are indeed related to the purifying substance. According to my interpretation, these symbols imply that the purifying substance is related to the 'Colorful Spirit Spring', and the 'Colorful Spirit Spring' is deep in the canyon."

After hearing this, everyone was filled with hope. They knew that although there were still many difficulties and obstacles ahead, they were getting closer to their goal. The Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast looked at everyone, let out another chirp, then spread its wings and flew towards the depths of the canyon. Everyone took a deep breath and closely followed the Enchanted Spirit Winged Beast.
