"Isn't that true? It is said that each of them has a unique ability, such as controlling nature, interpreting ancient texts, and a wizard who can make items! It is really enviable." The first person to speak shook his head.
, eyes full of disbelief.
"They must have become great heroes now! I wonder if there will be any rewards from the royal city?" Someone in the crowd guessed, their eyes filled with envy.
"Rewards are trivial, the key is the honor. Who will dare to look down on these young people in the future?" The aunt next to him interjected, her tone full of pride, as if she also had a share of the honor.
While everyone was talking, in a teahouse not far away, an old man stroked his beard and said slowly: "The real challenge has just begun. Even if there is light in the heart, they also need to face the shadows. They still have a long way to go."
"
When these words spread, everyone fell into deep thought for a moment. Indeed, the road of a hero is never smooth.
Outside the stone tower, when the five-colored rays of light became clear again, the surrounding world seemed to be more vivid due to their return. Lin Feng looked up into the distance, his heart full of pride: "Now, we have unprecedented power, and it is time to face
The question left to us by that ancient voice - understanding the truth in the shadows."
"Yes, there is always a shadow behind the light. We can't just be those who chase the light, we should be the light that can illuminate the dark corners." Li Wenjing's words revealed calmness and wisdom, and her eyes flashed with understanding.
The anticipation of unknown challenges.
"The truth in the shadows sounds mysterious and dangerous. However, I am not afraid with you by my side." Zhou Lili's smile is still bright, but the firmness revealed in her words is reassuring.
"Then it's settled. Our next stop is to go deep into the Shadow Land, uncover the unknown secrets, and use our power to protect the true harmony of this world." Zhao Lei's words were loud and clear, his eyes
The fire of battle burned in his eyes.
"I'm ready. No matter light or shadow, as long as the five of us work together, there is no difficulty that we can't overcome." Li Qianqian clenched the sword of light in her hand. The sword seemed to echo her determination, blooming with a more powerful spirit.
Dazzling light.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew by, bringing a soft and mysterious voice: "Yes, five warriors, only by facing the shadows can the heart of light shine brighter. The entrance to the land of shadows has been opened for you...
"
Everyone looked around, but found that no one else was present except each other. But they knew that the voice was real and came from guidance from a higher level.
"Where did this... sound come from?" Zhao Lei looked around, his eyes full of surprise and wariness.
"There is no need to search, the owner of the voice is not here." Li Wenjing closed her eyes and opened them after a moment of silence. There was a little more insight in her eyes, "It is the will of the mind stone, or a more profound existence, which is leading us.
Moving on to the next stage.”
"Lead? So, are we really going to step into the land of shadows?" Zhou Lili's tone contained a hint of anxiety, but she was more eager to give it a try.
"It's not just about stepping in, but also about going deep. Only in this way can we understand the phrase 'searching, not just for the light, but also for understanding the truth in the shadows.'" Lin Feng's words were full of determination, as if he had made up his mind.
, no matter what lies ahead, we must move forward courageously.
"But the Land of Shadows doesn't sound like a good place to travel. What is hidden there?" Li Qianqian's question made the atmosphere more solemn.
"The unknown is always accompanied by fear, but it is also an opportunity for growth." Chen Sui smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with a desire for knowledge, "I am willing to be the first person to step into the shadows and lift the veil of mystery for us.
.”
"We are together." The other four people spoke almost at the same time, their voices converging into an unstoppable force, as if nothing could separate them.
"That's it. What do we need to prepare before departure?" Zhao Lei began to think about practical issues. He knew that when facing the unknown, preparation can often determine life or death.
"First of all, we need to learn more about the Land of Shadows." Li Wenjing took out the ancient book and flipped through it. "We may be able to find some clues here."
"Secondly, our equipment also needs to be upgraded, especially in terms of protection and lighting." Zhou Lili suggested. She knew that in the unknown darkness, light and safety are the most important guarantees.
"I am responsible for making some special tools for detection and self-defense." Chen Sui has already begun to conceive of new inventions, and his skillful hands seem to always have endless creativity.
"I'll contact Wang Cheng to see if I can get more support and information." Lin Feng thought more long-term. He knew that if he could get official assistance for this trip, he would undoubtedly get twice the result with half the effort.
"As for me, I will try to communicate with nature to see if I can find allies or guidance in the land of shadows." Li Qianqian closed her eyes gently, and a subtle light danced on her fingertips again. It was the connection between her and nature.
Silent conversation.
The plan was quickly formulated, and the five people immediately threw themselves into the intense preparation work. Time passed by, and in the blink of an eye, they were standing at the starting point for the Shadow Land.
"Are you ready, friends?" Lin Feng asked, his voice appearing particularly clear in the early morning air.
"Better prepared than ever." Zhao Lei's answer was confident.
"Then let us set off towards the land of shadows to find the truth." Li Wenjing's words carried an undoubted power.
Just as the five-color light was ready to go, a carrier pigeon suddenly flew over and landed on Lin Feng's shoulder. A sealed letter was tied to his leg. When he opened it, there was only a brief sentence on it: "The land of shadows is full of dangers, but please remember
Live, the biggest enemy is often the fear in your heart. - An old explorer"
"It seems that even unknown seniors are paying attention to us." Li Qianqian smiled, and her words made the atmosphere of the team much more relaxed.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Fear? Then let us use actions to prove that the light in our hearts is enough to dispel all the haze." Zhao Lei clenched his fists, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.
"Let's set off, not only to find the final answer to the Mind Stone, but also to prove the will and strength of the five of us." Chen Sui's words were like a shot in the arm, stimulating everyone's passion.
"Yes, no matter how dangerous the road ahead is, we must go through it side by side." Zhou Lili's words were full of determination, and her smile looked particularly bright in the morning light.
Just as the five of them were about to take steps towards the Land of Shadows, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, as if the whole world was waiting with bated breath for this moment to arrive. At this time, a hurried traveler happened to pass by, and his eyes were on the five of them.
Staying on the body, his eyes were surprised at first, and then turned into deep admiration: "You... are you the heroes who found all the soul stones in the legend?"
"Oh, I really didn't expect to meet you here! I heard that you are going to enter the Shadow Land. That is a place where even the bravest warriors dare not set foot easily." The traveler's words attracted the attention of the people around him, and everyone
They all stopped and gathered around curiously.
"Yes, we are getting ready to set off." Lin Feng replied with a smile, his tone was calm but full of power, making people involuntarily convinced.
"You are so good!" A wrinkled old man squeezed into the crowd, his eyes flashing with tears, "In this world, few people are willing to take the initiative to face the darkness. I hope the God of Light bless you.
"
"Thank you for your blessing, old man." Li Wenjing responded politely, her smile gentle but firm, "We will bring light to every corner, including the land of shadows."
Among the crowd, a young girl took Li Qianqian's hand: "Sister, I also want to be an explorer like you, who can protect others and explore the unknown."
Li Qianqian leaned over and gently patted the back of the girl's hand: "As long as you have courage and love, one day you will be able to realize your dream."
"Let's go, friends." Zhao Lei raised his head and looked into the distance. There is an unknown journey and their destiny. "Time waits for no one. The secrets of the Shadow Land are waiting for us to uncover."
Just as they were about to embark on their journey, the old man in the teahouse appeared on the edge of the crowd at some point. His eyes seemed to have penetrated the fog of time, watching the five young braves: "Children, remember, every step
Everyone may encounter unprecedented challenges, but it is these challenges that create the soul of a hero."
"Thank you for your teaching, old sir." Lin Feng bowed deeply, then turned to his teammates, "Friends, are you ready to face your own shadow?"
"It has been prepared for a long time!" Everyone replied in unison, and their voices echoed in the air for a long time, as if they were declaring war on the challenges ahead.
Just when they were about to turn around and leave, the soft and mysterious voice sounded again: "Brave men, remember that the real light is not to escape from the darkness, but to have the courage to face it. The land of shadows is waiting for you, and it will be because of you.
And change..."
The crowd fell silent, all eyes following the five-colored rays of light, until they gradually drifted away in the morning light, becoming brave and determined silhouettes.
"Are they really going to do this? Entering the Land of Shadows is like dancing with death." A young man in the crowd whispered, his eyes full of worry.
"Courage is commendable. In this world, there are not many people who dare to face the shadows." The strong man next to him shook his head and sighed, with a hint of admiration in his tone.
"If even they are afraid, what hope does this world have?" A woman with long hair and shawl said softly, her eyes were shining with stars, which was the endless expectation for the heroes.
While everyone was talking about it, an old man wearing strange clothes squeezed into the center of the crowd. He held an ancient staff in his hand and his face was covered with frost. "I was a failure in exploring the Shadow Land.
"Now, seeing the new generation of brave men embarking on the same path, I have mixed feelings in my heart." As soon as the old man finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly became silent, and everyone listened quietly.
"Old senior, do you know anything? About the Land of Shadows." Lin Feng stepped forward and asked respectfully.
The old man's eyes slowly swept over the five people, and finally stopped on Lin Feng's face. "The Land of Shadows is a maze woven of fear and despair, in which the deepest darkness and secrets are hidden. What you are looking for is not only
It is not only an answer, but also a test of my own heart." He paused and continued, "Remember, there are dark creatures that can swallow all light, but there are also forgotten fragments of light. If you find them, you may be able to find you.
Seeking truth.”
"A creature that eats light?" Li Qianqian frowned, obviously shocked by the sudden information.
"Yes, the land of shadows is a mirror, reflecting everyone's inner fears and weaknesses." The old man's words were heavy, but there was also encouragement, "But if the five of you can support each other and unite with bright hearts, you will be able to achieve success."
It can light the way forward.”
"Thank you for your advice, senior." Zhao Lei replied firmly. He turned to look at his companions, his eyes conveying fearlessness and faith.
"Then, let's say goodbye, and may the God of Light be with you." After the old man finished speaking, he slowly retreated into the crowd and disappeared, leaving a string of deep words echoing in the air.
"Let's go, friends." Lin Feng clenched the weapon in his hand, his tone full of determination.
"Wait!" A quick voice sounded, and the young girl from before was seen running back panting, holding a small package tightly in her hand. "This is a little thought from me. There are some healing potions and dry food in it. I hope
I can help you." She put the package into Li Qianqian's hands, her eyes full of sincerity and reverence.
"Thank you, little girl." Li Qianqian touched the girl's head gently, her eyes turning slightly red, "We will take your courage and hope with us on the road."
"Goodbye, heroes!" the little girl waved and watched them leave.
The five people embarked on the road to the land of shadows, and every step seemed to declare their pursuit of light and determination to fight against darkness. Their figures gradually faded away, but the spirit of unremitting struggle for justice and light,
But it left a deep impression on everyone's heart.
"Can they really do it?" A deep voice sounded from the crowd, full of doubt.
"Who knows, but at least they dare to try." Another voice replied, mixed with a hint of respect, "In such an era, those who dare to face the darkness are already heroes."
The conversation dissipated in the morning breeze, but the exploration of the unknown and the desire for light took root and sprouted in people's hearts like seeds. The backs of the five-color light gradually blurred, but in the hearts of everyone who watched them leave,
It's like an everlasting lamp is lit.
"Look at them, they are the real adventurers," a middle-aged woman held the hand of the child beside her and whispered, "Remember, courage and persistence are sharper than any sword."
The child's eyes widened and he nodded in understanding, his eyes full of longing and curiosity for the future.
