The black panther's movements were obviously slowing down, and the crazy look in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a hint of horror.

Everyone was relieved when they saw this.

At this moment, the gray-haired hunter seized the opportunity, bent his bow and arrow, and a sharp arrow shot the gem on the black panther's neck accurately with the sound of breaking through the air.

With a "click", a tiny crack appeared on the gem.

The black panther let out a painful wail, its power weakened significantly and its movements became slower.

Xiaohong looked at the injured people with distress, tears rolling in her eyes.

The man in white hugged her gently and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, we will be fine." The two of them were full of love, and it seemed particularly precious in this crisis moment.

Grandma Lin was busy bandaging the wounds for the injured Liehun and Zhao Blacksmith. Her kind face was full of worry and kept muttering: "Blessed by Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva bless..."

"Everyone work harder, victory is right in front of you!" Elder Chen encouraged loudly.

Everyone responded one after another, and the friendship became deeper in difficulties. They supported each other and faced the challenges ahead together.

As the gray-haired hunter shot out the last arrow, the gem on the black panther's neck was completely broken, turning into starlight and dissipating in the air.

The black panther fell to the ground weakly, his eyes lost all the evil light, leaving only deep fatigue.

Behind it, an ancient and mysterious treasure chest slowly emerged, emitting a faint golden light, attracting everyone's attention.

Everyone approached the treasure chest curiously, but the black panther struggled to stand up and blocked the chest, making a low warning sound in his throat.

"It...it also wants to protect the treasure chest!" Luo Xiaoyu exclaimed.

The black panther crawled on the ground, and the heavy breathing sounded like a broken bellows. The gems on their necks were shattered, and star-like fragments dissipated in the air.

It struggled to hold up, shakingly blocking the treasure chest, and a low warning sound came from its throat, as if the twilight king was guarding the last territory.

Everyone looked at each other. The dying giant beast had such a tenacious will.

"What should I do? It still seems that it will not let us get close to the treasure chest." Luo Xiaoyu asked anxiously, holding the bow and arrow tightly in his hand, ready to attack again at any time.

"Wait a little longer." Elder Chen said in a deep voice, but his eyes turned to the old man in white who had been silent in the team.

The old man in white slowly stepped forward, and he walked slowly and firmly every step, as if he had some strange magic.

He walked to the Black Panther, stretched out his dry palm, and muttered something in his mouth, as if communicating with the Black Panther.

Everyone held their breath and watched the scene curiously, not understanding what the old man was doing.

A mysterious atmosphere spreads in the air, making people feel inexplicably nervous.

The waiting time seemed particularly long, and everyone's hearts were hanging.

Black Panther's eyes flashed, as if she understood the old man's words, but she was full of hesitation and struggle.

It looked at the treasure chest behind it from time to time, then looked back at the old man, with a hint of indescribable sadness in its low growl.

"What is it thinking?" Xiaohong asked in a low voice, her heart full of worry, worried that the Black Panther would suddenly start to hurt people.

"Don't go over." The man in white grabbed Xiaohong's hand and gently brought her back behind him. "Be careful." Xiaohong felt the warmth in his palm, and felt a little relieved, but she still couldn't help but want to go forward to check what was going on.

"Roar--" Black Panther suddenly let out a deafening roar, and everyone's hearts tightened...

The longer everyone waits, the stronger the uneasiness in their hearts.

The black panther's roar echoed in the air like an invisible sharp blade, cutting off everyone's nerves.

Luo Xiaoyu tightened the bow and arrow in her hand, and her fingertips became pale with force. Her eyes glanced back and forth between the black panther and the treasure chest, as if she was ready to take the next move at any time.

Xiaohong bit her lower lip tightly, feeling uneasy, she often (){

The longer everyone waits, the stronger the uneasiness in their hearts.

The black panther's roar echoed in the air like an invisible sharp blade, cutting off everyone's nerves.

Luo Xiaoyu tightened the bow and arrow in her hand, and her fingertips became pale with force. Her eyes glanced back and forth between the black panther and the treasure chest, as if she was ready to take the next move at any time.

Xiaohong bit her lower lip tightly, feeling uneasy. She occasionally cast worried eyes at the old man in white, hoping that he could make a difference.

Grandma Lin patted Liehuo on the back gently, comforting him not to be too nervous, with a hint of kindness and strength in her tone.

The surrounding environment also seems to be depressed by this tense atmosphere.

The night is low, the moonlight is blocked by heavy clouds, and a humid and solemn atmosphere is filled with the air.

On the wet grass, dewdrops flashed in the faint light, like countless crystal tears.

The deep bird songs came from the woods in the distance, intertwined with the roar of the black panther, making people feel even more uneasy.

Doctor Zhang stood on the edge of the crowd, frowned.

He whispered, "Be careful, there may be danger in this treasure chest. Although we don't know why this black panther is so stubborn, its existence itself means that this treasure chest is unusual." His tone was calm and rational, as if reminding everyone not to forget to be alert while being excited.

Just as everyone's hearts were hanging tighter and tighter, the black panther suddenly let out a deafening roar.

A hint of hesitation and sadness flashed in its originally firm eyes.

Finally, Black Panther sighed, slowly moved away from the road, and used the last strength to protect the treasure chest, as if conveying some message to everyone.

Although its movements are slow, they are extremely determined.

Seeing this, everyone felt excited.

They walked carefully to the treasure chest, and each step seemed particularly heavy.

Grandma Lin stepped forward first, and she gently touched the surface of the treasure chest with her trembling hands, feeling the cold and mysterious texture.
