As the spell was completed, the light on the surface of the boulder suddenly became brighter. Then with a bang, the stone shattered, revealing a radiant treasure box inlaid with strange gems. It was the "Time of Time" they had been looking for.
part of the key.
"Quick! We have to get out of here quickly!" Zhou Lili reminded hurriedly, because not far from them, the ghost warriors who were originally fighting suddenly lost their target and were swarming towards the location of the treasure box.
The five people quickly gathered together to protect the treasure box and retreat. However, behind them, a larger black shadow was slowly rising. It was the collection of all the dead souls, an ancient and powerful existence.
"There is no time to hesitate, we must use the power of the treasure box immediately!" Lin Feng shouted, feeling unprecedented pressure.
At the critical moment, Zhao Lei inserted the key in his hand into the treasure box without hesitation. In an instant, a dazzling light burst out, forming a huge light shield, surrounding them. Black shadows rushed outside the light shield,
But it can never be penetrated.
The light gradually faded, and when the five people opened their eyes again, they found that they were already at a safe distance, and the terrifying black shadow had disappeared without a trace.
"It seems that the 'Key of Time' does have power that we can't imagine." Li Qianqian took a breath, with both surprise and a little worry in her eyes.
"But this is just the beginning," Zhao Lei put away the treasure box with a firm gaze, "More challenges and greater secrets are waiting for us to reveal."
"Yes, we have opened a door to destiny, but we have also awakened the sleeping giant." Lin Feng thought thoughtfully, looking at the still peaceful world in the distance, but there was already a huge wave in his heart.
At this time, an old man passing by stopped. His eyes penetrated through the years, as if he saw the weight carried by the five people. "Young people, the road you are taking is more magnificent than any legend. Remember, every explanation
Opening a secret is tantamount to touching a string of the world. Are you ready to face the storm that may follow?"
Li Wenjing stepped forward with unshakable determination in her smile: "Old sir, no matter the storm or the huge waves, once the five of us are determined, we will move forward fearlessly. Because we believe that light always follows the storm."
The old man nodded and left a meaningful word: "Then you must be careful. The legendary door of destiny not only leads to unknown treasures, but may also face the abyss of the soul. Keep your heart pure and don't let greed and fear swallow you up.
Your will.”
The conversation echoed in the air, and the five people looked at each other and smiled. The trust and determination in each other's eyes were enough to defeat any outside doubts. They knew that the real challenge was yet to come, and the curiosity and enthusiasm for exploration of the unknown were driving them
Keep moving forward.
Zhou Lili caressed the ancient book in her hand, and the light of wisdom jumped between her fingers, as if silently communicating with her: "Every book, every fragment of knowledge, is a bridge to the truth. I believe,'
The Key of Time' will lead us to understand more."
Li Qianqian's eyes drifted into the distance, showing a desire and yearning for the unknown: "I look forward to uncovering the deepest secrets of the world, no matter what they are, it will be the highest reward for our courage."
Just when the atmosphere became solemn and full of hope, a lively voice interrupted the tranquility: "Hey, don't just talk. Where should we go to find the remaining key fragments next? We can't stay here in a daze.
Until dawn!" Zhao Lei's joke instantly relaxed the atmosphere a lot, everyone laughed, and their tense nerves were temporarily relaxed.
"That's right," Lin Feng unfolded an ancient map in his hand, with several locations marked with strange symbols. "There seem to be clues on the map pointing to several places where other key fragments may be hidden. Although there are many dangers,
This is our destiny, isn't it?"
The five people gathered their spirits and set out on the journey again. Along the way, they passed bustling markets and desolate ruins. Everywhere they went, they attracted curious onlookers and comments from passers-by.
"Look, those are the warriors looking for the 'Key of Time'!" A child pointed at them, his eyes full of admiration.
"I really hope I can go on adventures with them." A young farmer whispered to his companions, with a hint of regret and envy in his tone.
The five people are like tireless travelers. Their footprints and legends gradually expand through word of mouth and become new legends. Whenever night falls, they sit around the campfire and share their experiences of the day.
, discussing the next plan, while not forgetting to laugh and enjoy this rare quiet time.
"Speaking of which, we have found the first key, where will the rest be?" Li Wenjing's question triggered a new round of thinking among everyone.
"No matter where they are hiding, as long as we have faith and persevere, one day we will gather all the pieces together." Zhou Lili's words are gentle but powerful, like the brightest star in the night sky, guiding the team in the right direction.
Just as the conversation was getting better, a sudden gust of wind blew away the embers of the bonfire, bringing with it an ominous premonition. A crow flew through the night and emitted a shrill cry, as if it was some kind of warning.
"It seems that fate has sent us another challenge." Zhao Lei looked up at the crow going away, with no fear in his eyes, but more of a desire for the unknown.
"Yes, there are opportunities hidden behind every omen." Lin Feng stood up and rerolled the map. "The next mark on the map points to the dark forest, where ancient magic and unsolved mysteries are said to be hidden."
"Dark Forest...it doesn't sound simple." Li Qianqian tightened the equipment on her body, but an excited smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Just in time, I also want to see what kind of monsters my arrows can leave on.
Mark it."
Zhou Lili lightly closed the ancient book, and the radiance of wisdom flowed in her eyes: "There are many books in the dark forest. If we can find the lost documents there, maybe we can understand the true meaning of the 'Key of Time' faster."
The five people embarked on a journey again, heading towards the dark forest. On the way, various passers-by gave their own opinions:
"Dark Forest? That's a place where even the sun dares not go deep. Are you sure you want to go?" An old hunter smoked his pipe, his eyes full of doubts.
"It's good to be young. Dare to challenge the impossible." A well-dressed traveling businessman said with emotion, with both envy and worry in his eyes.
"Warriors, please be careful. Deep in the forest, it is said that there are wizards who can control time." A worried-looking woman handed them her blessings. Her children were holding on to her clothes tightly with eyes in their eyes.
Shining with admiration for adventurers.
After entering the dark forest, the light dimmed quickly. The surrounding trees were towering into the clouds, with dense branches and leaves, blocking the sky and the sun. Every step stepped on the thick fallen leaves, making a rustling sound that echoed in the silent forest.
"Here... there is an indescribable feeling of depression." Li Wenjing said softly. The ancient book in her hand automatically turned and released a warm light, bringing some peace of mind to everyone.
Just as they were moving forward cautiously, a low and hollow voice suddenly sounded from all around: "Welcome to the dark forest, travelers. Are you here to find the answer?"
The sound seemed to come from all directions, chilling people's hearts. Lin Feng quickly set up a light and shadow barrier and looked around cautiously.
"Who is there?" Zhao Lei unsheathed his sword, his figure looking particularly determined in the dim light.
A gust of wind blew, the leaves rustled, and an old man wearing a shabby robe appeared in front of everyone. His face was old, but his eyes were as bright as stars: "I am the guardian of the forest and the witness of time. What you are looking for is not only
It is just a fragment of the key, but it is also the truth of the world."
"The truth?" Zhou Lili took a step forward, the ancient book in her hand emitted a brighter light, "Please tell us how to find the remaining fragments and the meaning of all this."
The old man smiled slightly, stretched out his dry fingers, and pointed to the tree crown above: "The answer is not in my words, but in your hearts and the trials you are about to face. Deep in the dark forest, there is a forgotten temple
, everything you want is hidden there. But remember, every choice you make may lead to a different future."
After saying that, the old man's figure gradually faded away, dissipating in the air like morning mist, leaving only the five of them looking at each other.
"Temple...it seems we still have a long way to go." Li Qianqian clenched the Bow of Light, her eyes shining with determination.
"No matter what the road ahead is, we must go forward together." Zhao Lei's words strengthened everyone's belief.
"Yes, we are a team, there is nothing we can't solve." Lin Feng nodded heavily, his eyes sweeping over everyone, and an unprecedented sense of unity surged in his heart.
"Then let's set off now. Since the clue points to the temple, there is no reason to wait any longer." Li Wenjing's suggestion was immediately approved by others.
As they went deeper into the dark forest, the surrounding environment became increasingly weird, and the occasional unknown sounds filled the air with an indescribable tension. The warnings and blessings of passers-by seemed to turn into invisible forces at this moment, both
It made them feel the weight of responsibility on their shoulders and inspired them to explore the unknown.
"Look over there, there is light!" Zhou Lili keenly noticed a faint light coming from the trees in front, and everyone's spirits were lifted.
Cautiously approaching the light source, they discovered that it was a path covered by dense vegetation, and the end seemed to be connected to an open area. Everyone looked at each other and invariably accelerated their pace.
After crossing the path, an ancient temple suddenly opened up in front of us, standing quietly under the moonlight. Time seemed to have frozen here. Complex patterns were carved on the stone walls of the temple, telling ancient and mysterious stories.
"Here... there is a suffocating sense of history." Li Qianqian sighed in a low voice, her eyes full of curiosity and awe for ancient civilizations.
"Let's go in and take a look. Maybe the fragments of the keys are hidden here." Zhao Lei took the lead and walked at the front, followed closely by the others, feeling both excited and nervous.
The interior of the temple was dark and quiet, with only their footsteps and echoes echoing among the stone chambers. Suddenly, a soft blue light lit up from behind a stone statue, attracting everyone's attention.
"That's..." Lin Feng stepped forward quickly and found that the source of the light was an ancient book glowing with blue light, lying quietly on the altar table, as if it was specially prepared for them.
"It seems that this is what we are looking for." Zhou Lili gently opened the ancient book, and the pages automatically turned over, finally stopping on a page depicting the totem of the Key of Time.
"What is mentioned in the book?" Li Wenjing came closer and asked eagerly.
Zhou Lili read intently, then slowly raised her head: "We need to pass three trials, namely wisdom, courage and sacrifice. Only by passing these trials can we truly grasp the key to time."
"A trial? Then what are you waiting for? Let's get started!" Zhao Lei was gearing up and could no longer hold back.
As they go deeper into different areas of the temple, each trial unfolds one by one. The Trial of Wisdom is a series of complex puzzles that require the team's wisdom and understanding; the Trial of Courage is a fierce battle with a phantom monster that tests them.
Combat skills and teamwork; the sacrifice trial is the most difficult, requiring them to make difficult choices in times of crisis, and some may even need to sacrifice themselves for the overall situation.
Every time they pass a trial, they can feel a new power surging in their bodies, which is a power about growth and awakening.
"The last level is here, are you ready?" Lin Feng's eyes were firm, holding the rune sword obtained in the trial.
"Of course, for each other and for the world, we have nothing to fear." Li Wenjing responded resoundingly.
Finally, after a thrilling decisive battle, they gathered in front of the seal of the Key of Time, and the power of the five people gathered into a beam of light, illuminating the entire temple.
"Let's open the future together." As Li Qianqian's words fell, five hands touched the key fragment that exuded dazzling light at the same time, and the whole space trembled.
The light dissipated, and the key fragments slowly merged into one, turning into a radiant key, suspended in front of them. Lin Feng reached out to catch it, and unspeakable emotions surged in his heart.
"We did it!" Zhao Lei's cheers broke the silence, and everyone's faces were filled with unconcealable joy and sense of accomplishment.
However, at this moment, the ancient book opened automatically again, and a line of writing appeared: "The real adventure has just begun..."
Lin Feng looked at his friends. Everyone had the same questions and expectations, and the answers to all these seemed to be hidden in the unknown journey in the future.
"What... does this mean?" Zhou Lili asked softly, her eyes fixed on the mysterious line of text, her heart full of curiosity.
"Perhaps, the key of time is not only the key to unlocking treasures or power, it leads us towards a broader mission." Li Wenjing's words were full of deep thoughts. She looked into the distance, as if she had seen the unknown and magnificent things ahead.
