"Then it's settled." Mo Yan's words were concise and powerful. He looked around, his eyes full of confidence in the future, "Tomorrow morning, we will set off to that ruined city. Whether it is to solve ancient puzzles or to face the upcoming
We will all fight side by side to face the challenges ahead."
The fire gradually weakened, and the night wind brought coolness, but it also brought new courage and determination. Among these young people, an indescribable force quietly gathered, as if it foreshadowed that they were about to embark on a glorious and glorious journey.
Hard road.
"Good night, everyone." Zhao Lei said softly. He looked up at the starry sky, his heart full of longing for the future, "May the light lead us forward."
"Good night." Others said in unison, with expectations for the unknown journey and belief in a bright future on their faces.
In the night, a passing traveler happened to pass by the edge of the camp. He was attracted by this harmonious and powerful picture and stopped involuntarily. He was a middle-aged man, carrying a heavy luggage, and the years were etched on his face.
of vicissitudes.
"It's great to be young." The traveler murmured to himself. His eyes wandered over these young people, as if he saw in them the shadow of his own pursuit of dreams when he was young. "Looking at them like this, one can't help but believe that this
There is indeed light in the world."
On the side, the conversation around the campfire has not stopped. Lin Feng and Zhou Lili are having an in-depth discussion about the maps and clues in ancient books.
"Here..." Lin Feng pointed to a marked location on the map, frowning, "If I estimate correctly, the ruins of this city should be located deep in the dark forest, where it is said that ancient guardians live, even the most recent
No brave explorer has ever set foot there.”
"The dark forest?" Li Qianqian's voice was filled with worry, "It is said that there are dangers there, but in order to find the answer, we must go."
"No matter what we face, we are no longer alone." Zhao Lei said firmly, his fingers gently touching his chest, where the glimmer of bright fragments seemed to give him endless strength and courage.
The passers-by heard their conversation and couldn't help but widen their eyes with surprise: "Dark Forest?! You...are you really going to that kind of place?" There was shock in his tone, but also a sense of concern.
A group of young people admired their courage.
Zhou Lili turned to look at the uninvited guest and smiled politely: "Yes, our mission drives us forward. However, you seem to be experienced. Do you have any suggestions or warnings about the dark forest?"
The traveler was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "You are so brave. Well, if you really want to enter, remember not to make any noise to avoid waking up the sleeping monsters. Moreover, there is a foggy area in the center of the dark forest. It is easy to enter but difficult to come out, so be careful.
.”
"Thank you for your advice." Lin Feng nodded gratefully, his words showing sincerity, "Experience is often more valuable than any treasure."
As the night got darker, the traveler finally embarked on his own journey, leaving behind a meaningful word before leaving: "Children, I hope you will find not only strength, but also a heart that leads the light."
In the early morning of the next day, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist and illuminated the camp, Zhao Lei and others were ready to go. They looked at each other, with anxiety about the unknown in their eyes, and more trust in their companions and hope for the light.
Yearning for the future.
"Let's go, friends." Mo Yan stepped forward, his back looking particularly determined, "Not only to uncover the mystery, but also to become the light that illuminates the darkness."
"Let's set off towards the dark forest!" Li Wenjing responded, her light bow shining with the light of hope, as if she was swearing a bright faith.
The group of people took steps and embarked on the journey to the dark forest. Along the way, they received more surprises and admirations from passers-by. Some people even called them "messengers of light" in whispers. This gift from strangers
The expectation virtually adds more motivation to them.
As the team went deeper into the dark forest, the surrounding light gradually dimmed, and a depressing atmosphere filled the air. The vines among the trees spread like living creatures, and from time to time, strange beast roars came from a distance, which made people feel heart-stopping.
"Look, there!" Li Qianqian pointed to a shimmering place ahead. Everyone approached cautiously and found an abandoned small altar with a faintly glowing crystal ball placed in the center, which emitted a soft light.
, as if it were a touch of warmth in this darkness.
"Is this...is this the guidance of the Heart of Light fragment?" Zhao Lei asked in a low voice, his eyes flashing with excitement and doubt.
"We can only give it a try." Zhou Lili stepped forward and touched the crystal ball. In an instant, the ball glowed brightly, illuminating the surroundings like daylight. At the same time, the ground began to shake, and a stone slab slowly rose up, revealing a path leading to the ground.
ladder.
"It seems we have found the right place." Lin Feng clenched the hilt of his sword with a firm gaze.
As they went deeper into the ground step by step, the surrounding air became colder and colder, until a huge and mysterious underground space was revealed in front of everyone - the ancient stone walls were carved with murals of light and dark, and in the center was a huge light
The heart fragments float in mid-air, surrounded by complex and exquisite magic circles.
"It's unbelievable, this power..." Li Wenjing exclaimed softly. The bow of light automatically appeared in his hand, and the bowstring vibrated gently, as if responding to the call of the heart of light.
Just as everyone was immersed in the wonderful scene before them, a sneer broke the tranquility.
"It's not easy to find you." A mysterious man in black robes walked out of the shadows, holding a dagger exuding evil energy in his hand, "The fragment of the heart of light belongs to us, you so-called 'bringers of light'
'Sleep here forever."
"You have a beautiful idea!" Zhao Lei shouted, the key of time shined brightly in his hand, and time and space seemed to be distorted under his control.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The battle is about to break out, and the collision between darkness and light is staged in the underground space. Zhou Lili flips through ancient books, chants complex spells, and shoots arrows of light at the man in black robes;
Li Qianqian waved his staff, wrapping the injured teammates with healing light and releasing a powerful defensive barrier; Lin Feng and Li Wenjing used speed and precise archery to constantly harass the enemy.
"Hmph, even a mere mortal dares to block the power of darkness!" The man in black robe roared, and the dark energy gathered around him, forming a huge shadow beast that pounced towards everyone.
"United as one, light will win!" Zhao Lei shouted, and his power of time slowed down the shadow beast's movements, giving everyone a chance to fight back.
During the fierce battle, the surrounding passers-by - actually elves in the forest, lost adventurers and other hidden observers - were all attracted by this contest between light and darkness. They hid in the dark and watched the battle, sometimes in shock.
Call, sometimes whisper.
"These young people... can they really defeat the darkness?" an elf girl asked her companions in a low voice.
"Looking at their faith and courage, I think it's okay." The strong dwarf next to him replied, with respect for the light side shining in his eyes.
The battle reached its climax. When the shadow beast of the man in black was defeated by everyone, he himself also showed his fatigue. Just when he was about to escape, the sword thrown by Lin Feng hit him accurately in the back of the heart.
, the power of darkness dissipated.
The man in black robe fell to the ground, and he showed a twisted smile: "Even if I lose today, the darkness... will not be eliminated so easily."
Everyone was still gasping for breath. Zhou Lili walked towards the Heart of Light fragment and said softly: "We need your power to guide us towards the light."
The Heart of Light fragment responded to her prayer and turned into a beam of light and injected it into everyone's body. They felt an unprecedented surge of power, and the fire of light in their hearts burned even more vigorously.
"We did it!" Li Qianqian cheered, the longing in her eyes turning into firm belief.
"But this is just the beginning." Zhao Lei reminded that after absorbing the power of the Heart of Light, his Key of Time emitted a more dazzling light. "Darkness is still lurking, and we have a long way to go."
"Indeed, there are still more challenges waiting for us." Lin Feng put away his sword, his eyes flashing with determination, "But we are no longer fledgling explorers, and light has taken root in our hearts."
At this time, a weak voice came from the shadows on the side: "Please... please help me..." Everyone followed the sound and found that it was a young magician imprisoned by a man in black robe, and his hands and feet were bound by iron chains.
, his face was pale, but his eyes were full of the desire to survive.
Li Qianqian quickly stepped forward and used magic to unlock the chains: "Don't be afraid, you are safe." After the young magician was rescued, tears flashed in his eyes: "Thank you, I am Allen, a researcher who studies the balance of light and darkness.
The mage. I wanted to stop that person, but I was captured instead."
"Alan, welcome to join us." Zhao Lei stretched out his hand and pulled Alan up. "Your knowledge is a valuable asset to us."
Allen nodded, his addition made the team more complete. They walked towards the exit together, their hearts filled with new hope and strength.
Back on the ground, the sun shone on their faces again, warm and bright. Seeing their safe return, the passers-by around them gathered around them with exclamations and praises one after another.
"You are really the messengers of light!" An old man held Lin Feng's hand excitedly, "I heard about the underground battle. It was the most exciting legend in our village in decades!"
"How did you defeat that terrifying shadow beast?" A little boy looked up at Zhao Lei curiously, his eyes full of admiration.
Zhao Lei squatted down and answered with a smile: "It is not our individual victory, but the power of the light in everyone's heart. As long as we believe, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome."
Among the crowd, the middle-aged traveler who had given them advice at night appeared again. He looked at these young people with admiration: "You have not only found the strength, but also have the heart to guide the light. This world has changed because of you.
It’s different.”
Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of victory, a strange light suddenly flashed across the sky, causing everyone to look up.
"What is that?" Li Wenjing pointed to the vision in the sky.
Lin Feng stared at the light and frowned: "This light... seems to come from the far north, and there are some secrets hidden there that we don't know yet."
"It seems that our journey is far from over." Mo Yan's eyes were firm, "No matter what challenges lie ahead, as long as we walk hand in hand, light will shine in every corner."
"Yes, let's move forward towards the unknown!" Li Qianqian's voice was full of power and passion, and her staff drew a line of light in the air, as if declaring to the world their undying determination.
"That's right, Li Qianqian." Zhao Lei held the key to time tightly, the fire in his eyes burning with determination, "No matter how many unknowns and challenges there are in the future, as long as the light is in your heart, the path will be clear."
A young girl among the passers-by suddenly plucked up the courage and squeezed through the crowd to come to them: "Your stories have given me infinite courage. If possible, please let me follow you and learn how to protect the light."
"Everyone who is willing to contribute to the light is worthy of welcome." Zhou Lili smiled and extended her hand to accept this new partner. The crowd burst into even warmer applause and cheers, as if the seeds of light were quietly planted in everyone's heart.
Down.
Just as they were preparing to set off to continue exploring the unknown northern light, an old and majestic voice sounded from the crowd: "Wait a minute, brave warriors."
Everyone looked for the name and saw an old man in a gorgeous robe slowly walking out, followed by several similarly dressed entourage. "I am the elder of a small town on the edge of the dark forest. Regarding the secrets we have guarded for generations, I want to
It's time to tell you."
Lin Feng stepped forward and asked respectfully: "Dear elder, do you know the secret of the Northern Light?"
"Secrets are buried deep in time, and are only revealed to those who have a heart of light." The elder's eyes swept over everyone, and finally stopped at the key of time in Zhao Lei's hand, "That light may be related to the ancient prophecy
Relatedly, the prophecy mentions the key that can balance light and darkness, and the five chosen ones who will open the door to a new era."
Li Qianqian covered her mouth in surprise: "The five chosen ones? Are they us?"
The elder smiled and nodded: "The appearance of each of you is no accident. Messengers of light, your journey will be more difficult than imagined, but it will also be more glorious."
The crowd was in an uproar again, with sounds of admiration and awe mixed together, and the wind seemed to carry an air of expectation.
"So, elder, what should we do?" Lin Lei's question was concise and direct.
"The journey to the north is full of dangers. You need to find the lost ruins of light, which contain clues about the true power of the Heart of Light. But remember, the darkness will not sit back and let you succeed easily." The elder spoke earnestly, and then took out an exquisite treasure from his arms.
The scroll was handed to Zhao Lei, "This is an ancient map, it will guide you in the direction."
