The battle became extremely fierce. Although the men in black were outnumbered, they gradually gained the upper hand with the tacit cooperation of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

However, the existence of the giant turtle was always a huge stone in their hearts. Its huge body and powerful aura prevented Luo Chen and Qing Shuang from being careless at all.

Just when they were about to defeat all the men in black, the giant turtle suddenly moved.

Its huge feet stepped on the swamp mud, making the earth tremble with every step.

The giant turtle's target is directly at Luochen and Qingshuang, and it seems to have regarded them as the biggest threat.

"Be careful!" Qingshuang shouted, and she quickly cast a defensive spell, forming an ice wall to try to block the giant turtle's progress.

Luo Chen was accumulating strength behind the ice wall, preparing to launch a powerful attack.

He took a deep breath, mobilized all the power in his body, and a dazzling light condensed on the tip of the sword.

The moment the giant turtle hit the ice wall, Luo Chen's sword thrust out with thunderous force.

The sword light collided with the giant turtle's blood-red hard shell, causing a deafening roar.

The ice wall shattered instantly under the impact of the giant turtle, but Luo Chen's sword also successfully left a deep wound on the giant turtle's body.

The giant turtle let out a roar of pain, a flash of anger in its eyes.

It turned around and attacked Luo Chen and Qing Shuang again.

This time, it no longer just collides with its body, but spits out balls of blood-red flames from its mouth.

Luochen and Qingshuang shuttled through the flames. They used the terrain and vegetation in the swamp as cover to avoid the attack of the giant turtle.

However, they also realized that if they could not find the giant turtle's weakness as soon as possible, they would be defeated by this behemoth sooner or later.

At this moment, Qingshuang suddenly remembered the heart of the swamp mentioned by the old man.

She guessed that this giant turtle might be the incarnation of the Swamp Heart, and it was this ancient power that the men in black were trying to awaken.

"Luochen, we must find the heart of the giant turtle!" Qingshuang shouted loudly.

Luochen nodded, knowing that this was their only hope.

They began to try to get behind the giant turtle, looking for the best time to attack.

While avoiding the flames of the giant turtle, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang finally saw a special mark on the back of the giant turtle, which seemed to be where its heart was.

They looked at each other and understood each other's intentions without the need for words.

Luochen and Qingshuang launched their strongest attacks at the same time. Luochen's sword and Qingshuang's spell hit the heart of the giant turtle at the same time.

The giant turtle let out a deafening wail, its body began to tremble violently, and then slowly fell down.

The shaking in the swamp also stopped, and the men in black around them fled in all directions.

Luochen and Qingshuang stood next to the giant turtle's body. They knew that although the battle was difficult, they successfully prevented the disaster from happening.

The swamp returned to calm again, as if nothing had happened.

They returned to the hotel and immediately fell into bed.

The feeling of exhaustion also came crazily.

"So tired..."

Luochen and Qingshuang lay on the soft bed, feeling exhausted like a tide, almost drowning them.

However, even though their bodies were stretched to their limits, their minds could not calm down.

Every detail and every thrilling moment of that battle was constantly replayed in their minds.

"We did it." Qingshuang's voice contained a hint of exhaustion, but more of a sense of relief.

Luochen nodded, and his eyes fell outside the window. Night had fallen, and the moonlight shone through the window into the room, giving everything a mysterious silver glow.

"Yes, we did."

He repeated Qingshuang's words, but he had more questions in his heart.

What is that giant turtle? What is the connection between it and the Man in Black? What secrets are hidden in the heart of the swamp?

Qingshuang seemed to see what Luo Chen was thinking. She said softly: "Let's go to the old man tomorrow and ask. He may know something."

Luo Chen nodded, he knew Qing Shuang was right.

They need more information to uncover the truth behind all this.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the curtains, Luochen and Qingshuang were ready to go.

After they had a simple breakfast, they hurried to the old man's residence.

The old man seemed to have expected them to come. He sat in the rocking chair in front of the door with a faint smile on his face.

"You are here." The old man's voice was calm and deep.

Luochen and Qingshuang looked at each other, and then Luochen asked: "What is that giant turtle? What does it have to do with the man in black?"

The old man was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "The giant turtle is the guardian of the heart of the swamp and one of the oldest existences on this land. It was awakened by the man in black in order to complete an ancient ritual. ”

"Ritual?" Qingshuang asked.

"Yes, an ancient ritual designed to awaken the evil power sleeping deep in the swamp." There was a hint of heaviness in the old man's voice: "You prevented it and also prevented a disaster."

Luo Chen frowned: "What about the men in black? Who are they?"

The old man sighed: "The men in black are human beings who are tempted by evil forces. They are eager to gain power and do not hesitate to cooperate with dark forces. They will not give up easily. You must be careful."

Qingshuang and Luochen looked at each other. They knew that this battle might just be the beginning, and greater challenges were still to come.

"So what should we do next?" Luochen asked.

The old man stood up and walked in front of Luochen and Qingshuang, his eyes deep: "What should we do? Let's go, leave here, stay away from this swamp, and don't come back..."

Luochen and Qingshuang were shocked. The old man's words made them realize that although they had prevented a disaster, the shadow of this battle had not completely dissipated.

"But we can't just leave like this." Qingshuang said firmly: "If the evil power is awakened again, who will stop it?"

The old man shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "The curse of this swamp has existed for too long, you can't completely eliminate it, you have done enough, the rest, leave it to fate."

Luo Chen held the hilt tightly, he was unwilling to give up: "We can at least try to find more clues about the man in black and the evil power, and maybe there is a chance to completely solve this problem."

The old man was silent for a moment, and finally slowly said: "Okay, if you insist on doing so, I can tell you a legendary place-'Forgotten Valley'. It is said that there are clues to all the secrets of this swamp."

"'Forgotten Valley'?" Qingshuang asked curiously.

"Yes," the old man nodded, "It is a place forgotten by time, and only the bravest and most determined people can find it. But you must be careful, the 'Forgotten Valley' is full of unknown dangers."

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other. They knew that this would be a challenging adventure, but in order to completely solve this crisis, they decided to embark on a journey to find the "Forgotten Valley".

After saying goodbye to the old man, they began to prepare the necessary supplies and equipment.

They knew that this trip would not be easy, but they also understood that only by facing the unknown can they find the real answer.

On the way out of the swamp, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang remained vigilant at all times.

They passed through the dense forest, crossed the steep peaks, and finally came to the entrance of a valley shrouded in fog at a gloomy dusk.

"Is this the 'Forgotten Valley'?" Qing Shuang asked in a low voice.

Luo Chen nodded, with a firm light in his eyes: "Yes, we have come here, there is no turning back."

They took a deep breath and stepped into the fog.

The valley was filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, as if every step was stepping on the long river of history.

As Luo Chen and Qing Shuang's footsteps deepened, the fog seemed to become thicker, and the sight was only a few feet away.

They held each other's hands tightly, fearing that they would get lost in this mysterious valley.

The air in the valley was damp and cold, and the occasional sound of birds and the sound of flowing water in the distance added a bit of weird atmosphere.

"We have to be careful, everything here seems so unusual." Luo Chen reminded in a low voice, his eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

Qingshuang nodded, and she took out a small compass from her waist and tried to identify the direction.

However, the compass needle kept spinning, and it seemed that the exact direction could not be found.

"It seems that the magnetic field here is disturbed by some force." Qingshuang frowned and said.

Luo Chen took out a rough map from his pocket, which he got from the old man before they set out.

The map marked the approximate location of the "Forgotten Valley", but the details were blurred.

"We can only rely on this map." Luo Chen said, trying to identify the direction of advance based on the marks on the map.

As they continued to move forward, the scene in the valley began to become more and more bizarre.

The trees twisted into various weird shapes, and the stones on the ground seemed to flicker in the weak light.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stopped from time to time and looked around carefully, fearing that they would miss any details that might hide clues.

Just as they passed through a dense forest, Qing Shuang suddenly stopped and pointed to a boulder in front of them, which seemed to be engraved with some ancient symbols.

"These symbols... I seem to have seen them somewhere." Qing Shuang muttered to herself, trying to recall the information in her memory.

Luo Chen walked forward and looked at the symbols carefully.

He suddenly remembered some legends that the old man had mentioned, and these symbols might be related to the secrets of the "Forgotten Valley".

"These symbols may be clues to an important place." Luo Chen said, with a hint of excitement in his voice.

Qing Shuang nodded, and she took out a piece of parchment from her backpack, which recorded her research on ancient legends.

After some comparison, they found that the symbols on the parchment were surprisingly similar to those on the boulder.

"It seems that we have found the right direction." Qing Shuang said, with a firm light in her eyes.

They followed the instructions on the parchment and began to look for the next mark in the valley.

After several hours of arduous trekking, they finally came to a hidden cave entrance.

The entrance of the cave was covered by vines and weeds. If you don't look carefully, it's hard to find an entrance hidden here.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other. They knew that this cave might be the key to the depths of the "Forgotten Valley".

They carefully pushed aside the vines and walked into the cave.

The interior of the cave was spacious and dry, and the walls were engraved with various ancient murals, which seemed to tell an ancient story.

They went deeper into the cave passage, which gradually became narrower, and finally came to a huge underground cave.

There was a stone platform in the center of the cave, on which was placed an ancient scroll.

Luo Chen carefully picked up the scroll and gently unfolded it.

The scroll recorded the secrets about this swamp and the "Forgotten Valley", as well as how to completely seal the evil power.

"We found it!" Qingshuang said excitedly.

Luo Chen nodded, his eyes fixed on the text on the scroll.

They began to carefully study the contents of the scroll, trying to find a way to seal the evil power.

After some research, they found that they needed to collect five special elements, which represented the power of water, fire, earth, wind and mind. Only by combining the power of these five elements can the evil power in the swamp be completely sealed.

"We must find these five elements." Luo Chen said, his voice full of determination.

Qingshuang nodded, she knew it would be a more difficult journey.

They carefully put away the scroll and prepared to leave the cave and start the adventure of finding the five elements.

However, just as they were about to leave the cave, a low roar suddenly came from the depths of the cave.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang quickly drew their weapons and stared at the direction of the sound vigilantly.

A huge figure slowly walked out of the darkness. It was a giant beast covered with black scales. Its eyes flashed red light, and it looked extremely ferocious.

"It seems that we have other 'guests'." Luo Chen said in a deep voice. He and Qing Shuang stood side by side, ready to welcome the upcoming battle.

The giant beast roared and attacked them.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang reacted quickly. They used the terrain in the cave to deal with the giant beast and launched their strongest attack at the same time.

The battle was extremely fierce. The power of the giant beast was beyond imagination. Every attack shook the cave.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang relied on tacit cooperation and firm will to finally defeat the giant beast after a hard fight.

After the battle, they found a small altar hidden under the body of the giant beast, and on the altar was a stone emitting a faint light.

Luo Chen carefully picked up the stone and found that it was one of the five elements mentioned in the scroll, the power of the mind.

They left the cave with the stone.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang walked out of the cave, and the sky outside had completely darkened.

The fog in the valley seemed to be thicker, making visibility even lower at night.

They held the stone tightly in their hands, their hearts filled with expectations and worries about the next task.
