As they approached step by step, the runes around the furnace began to shine, and an ancient and powerful force gathered in the air. Suddenly, an illusory figure gradually condensed in the flames. It was a warrior wearing a flame cloak.
Holding a huge sword, his face is serious but majestic.
"Long time no see, followers of light." The flame warrior's voice was full of vicissitudes, as if it had spanned countless years, "I am a warrior who once guarded this land. Now my soul is with the flame, waiting for your arrival.
."
"We are here to accept the trial, in order to fight against the Lord of the Shadow Realm." Zhao Lei took a step forward, and the bright ring glowed slightly on his fingertips, as if responding to the warrior in front of him.
"Very good," the Flame Warrior nodded, "Then, let me see if you are qualified to control the power of fire. Here, there is a challenge that I could not complete in my lifetime, a choice about faith and sacrifice.
You must find the answer in the trial of fire."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground began to shake, and the center of the furnace cracked, forming a bottomless fire pit. The Flame Warrior raised his hand and waved, and four flames of different colors flew towards Zhao Lei and the four of them.
"The red flame represents passion and courage; the blue flame symbolizes calmness and wisdom; the green flame contains vitality and recovery; and the purple flame implies mystery and change." He explained, "Choose the flame in your heart and use it.
Go light the way ahead and remember, your choices will determine your future."
Faced with this sudden test, the team members looked at each other, but soon, they each found their own answer. Zhao Lei stretched out his hand, and red flames jumped in his palm, echoing his firm eyes; Zhou Lili chose Blue Flame
, her deep eyes reveal calm thinking; Li Qianqian's green fire gently surrounds her, seeming to tell her respect and cherishment of life; Selin blends with the mysterious purple flame, showing his
A hidden wisdom.
"Our choice has been made, what's next?" Zhou Lili asked.
"Integrate your flames into the furnace and accept the real trial." There was a hint of relief in the voice of the Flame Warrior.
As they acted as instructed, the four-color flames converged in the furnace, producing a dazzling light. At that moment, the furnace seemed to come alive, and an indescribable power burst out from it and enveloped them.
"Remember, Son of Light," the figure of the Flame Warrior gradually faded away, leaving only one sentence echoing in the air, "Real power comes from inner choice and persistence. After passing this trial, you are close to defeating the Shadow Realm.
The Lord is one step closer."
The light dissipated, and the team members looked at each other, their eyes shining with determination and belief after growing up.
"No matter how many difficulties there are in the future, as long as we are together, the light will always shine on the way forward." Zhao Lei said with a smile, his tone full of confidence.
"Indeed, every challenge is a test for us and a proof of our deepening bond with each other." Zhou Lili held the staff tightly, her face filled with unyielding will.
"We have experienced the severe cold of ice and snow, and the blazing fire. No matter what kind of trial comes next, we will move forward without fear." Lin Feng nodded heavily, and the tip of the sword touched the ground lightly, sparking a burst of sparks, as if
response to his words.
"And I, a wandering traveler, am honored to fight alongside you on this journey." The traveler smiled slightly, his eyes shining with longing for the unknown journey.
"We are messengers of light, lights in the darkness. As long as faith remains, hope will always exist." Selin whispered softly, and his staff emitted a soft light, warming everyone's heart.
"Okay, friends, now is not the time to sigh, we have to move on." Zhao Lei clapped his hands, interrupting the slightly heavy atmosphere, "Who knows what else is hidden deep in the Land of Fire?
What about the secrets and challenges?”
"You're right, time waits for no one, we'd better act as soon as possible." Li Qianqian took the lead and took the lead, green fire swirled around, lighting up the road ahead for the team.
They walked along the complex runes around the furnace, and every step they took seemed to be in dialogue with the ancient power of this land. The surrounding flame patterns quietly changed under their feet, guiding them through the maze-like passages, directly to
The heart of the Firelands.
Just as they passed through a narrow stone crevice, a huge cave suddenly opened up in front of everyone. In the center of the cave, an ancient altar stood quietly, with a dazzling gem inlaid on it, exuding a soft but gentle
The light that cannot be looked directly at is - the heart of light.
"This...is this the Heart of Light?" Zhou Lili was surprised, but more in awe.
"It seems that we have found the right place." Zhao Lei stared at the Heart of Light, feeling an inexplicable excitement in his heart.
"But there are no guards around the Heart of Light, which is too unusual." Lin Feng looked around warily, holding the sword tighter.
"No, there are guards here." Selin pointed to the four corners of the cave. Four phantoms formed by flames gradually condensed, representing the four elemental guards of red flame, blue flame, green fire, and purple flame.
"Only those with pure hearts and those who have passed the true test can approach the heart of light." A deep voice echoed in the cave, which was the soul of the previous flame warrior.
"It seems that we still have one last hurdle to pass." The traveler chuckled, without the slightest fear in his eyes.
"Get ready to fight, friends." Zhao Lei raised the ring of light, radiating light, injecting infinite courage into everyone.
Facing the challenge of the elemental guards, they no longer just fight alone. Zhao Lei's red flames turn into sharp sword energy, cutting off the enemy's offensive; Zhou Lili's blue flames condense into a shield of wisdom, deftly defending and counterattacking;
Li Qianqian's green fire healed the wounds of his companions and gave them new strength; Selin's unpredictable purple flame put the enemy in trouble. And the traveler can always use his deep understanding of nature at critical moments to save his life.
Teams bring about change.
After a fierce battle, the elemental guards dissipated one by one, and their recognition turned into light points and merged into their respective flames, making the power of the flames more powerful and purer.
When the last guard disappeared, the light of the Heart of Light became even more dazzling, as if it was conveying some kind of message to them.
"The Heart of Light recognized us." Zhao Lei slowly walked towards the altar, stretched out his hands and gently touched the Heart of Light. A warm and powerful force instantly poured into his body, and his Ring of Light also emitted an unprecedented sound.
Brilliant light.
"I feel it. This is the power of light and the key to defeating the Lord of Shadow Realm." Zhao Lei turned around, his eyes filled with unprecedented determination.
"Next, we just need to follow the guidance of the light and go to the final battlefield." Zhou Lili's words were like a declaration, filling everyone's hearts with determination.
"So, friends, let's move towards the final victory!" Zhao Lei announced loudly, his voice echoing in the cave, stimulating the fighting spirit of everyone in the team.
Just as they were about to leave, the soul of the Flame Warrior appeared again. This time, his figure was brighter, as if he had completed some important mission.
"Followers of the light, may the light be with you. Remember, the real power lies not only in weapons or magic, but also in the faith and love in your hearts."
As the figure of the Flame Warrior completely disappeared, the group embarked on a new journey. Behind them, the door to the Land of Flame slowly closed, leaving behind a string of firm footsteps and infinite expectations for the future.
"No matter what the road ahead is, with you by my side, nothing is impossible." Li Qianqian said softly, her smile full of trust in the team.
"Yes, as long as we join hands, light will eventually illuminate every corner of the world." Zhao Lei responded, his words full of confidence and longing for the future.
Just as they were preparing to step out of the cave and embark on the next adventure, a low and majestic voice suddenly sounded in their minds, like an ancient echo, shaking every heart.
"The Lord of the Shadow Realm knows your whereabouts. Children, the road ahead will be more dangerous than ever before."
The team members exchanged a look with each other, full of vigilance towards the unknown and unyielding will.
"Now that we have come this far, there is no reason to look back." Lin Feng held the hilt of his sword tightly and said resolutely.
"Yes, no matter how powerful the enemy is, we have the heart of light as our guide." Zhou Lili's eyes were firm, and the blue flames on the staff jumped, as if it was an affirmation of her words.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew from outside the cave, bringing with it a breath that did not belong to the land of fire. A ragged passerby suddenly appeared in front of them, with a look of surprise and envy in his eyes.
"You...are you really followers of the light? I have heard many legends about you, saying that you can control fire and be recognized by ancient warriors." The passerby seemed a little excited, with disbelief in his voice.
"We are just doing our part to protect the world from the invasion of shadows." Zhao Lei replied gently, his red flames gently wrapped around his fingers, but it did not give people a sense of oppression.
"It's amazing! I come from a nearby village. Ever since the shadow of the Lord of the Shadow Realm enveloped the earth, our lives have never been peaceful. You are our only hope." Tears flashed in the eyes of passers-by as they spoke.
Full of expectations.
"Don't worry, we will not let anyone down." Li Qianqian stepped forward, her green fire gently surrounding the passers-by, bringing him a touch of warmth and comfort.
"I hope you can really do it... After all, even the high walls of the royal city have been eroded by darkness. It is said that even the most powerful knight cannot resist that force." The passerby murmured to himself, with a complicated look on his face.
This sentence was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. The fall of the royal city was undoubtedly shocking news to the entire team, and everyone fell into a brief silence.
"Then, we have no reason to stay." Selin broke the silence, and the purple flames circled around him, appearing more profound and mysterious. "We must speed up our pace to save the royal city and prevent the Lord of Shadow from further invading."
"That's right, now is not the time to be immersed in shock." Zhao Lei regained his determination, "Everyone, get ready for our destination - Wangcheng."
With the mutual encouragement of team members, they stepped out of the land of flames and faced a more uncertain future. The flames behind them seemed to be seeing them off, shining with the light of hope.
Along the way, they met more and more people. Some were amazed by their deeds, while others were inspired to fight against the darkness by their arrival. The eyes and words of these passers-by became their destiny.
Another motivation on the road.
"Look, it's them! The legendary followers of light!"
"Really? They look like just a group of ordinary people."
"No, look at their aura, it's absolutely extraordinary. Maybe our hard days are finally coming to an end."
Conversations continued one after another, including admiration for the followers of the light, as well as suspicion and curiosity. However, Zhao Lei and his team always remained silent during these discussions. They knew that the final answer needed to be written in actions.
Just as the day was coming to an end and night was about to fall, they stopped on a deserted field. The outline of the royal city in the distance was looming under the setting sun, shrouded in a layer of haze.
"Tomorrow, we will face the biggest challenge." Zhao Lei looked towards the direction of the royal city, with both determination and unnoticeable worry in his eyes.
"No matter what the outcome is, at least we are together." Zhou Lili walked to him, gently held his hand, and gave silent support.
"Yes, the light is with us." Lin Feng, Li Qianqian, Selin and Traveler all responded. They formed a circle and put their hands on each other's shoulders, as if they were taking an oath and praying.
"Well, see you tomorrow, my friends." The traveler said softly, his eyes flashing with mixed emotions of both anticipation and reluctance for this adventure.
As the night grew darker, stars began to adorn the sky, and the team members took a rest, preparing for the upcoming decisive battle. While they were sleeping, a shooting star streaked across the sky, as if heralding the coming of change.
The next morning, the first ray of sunlight pierced the darkness of dawn, shining on the ruins of the royal city, and also on the faces of the followers of the light who were ready to go. They stood on the edge of the field, behind them were the eyes of support and expectation. , in front of him is the royal city swallowed by darkness, waiting for salvation.
"Are you ready, everyone?" Zhao Lei's voice was firm and clear, and his bright ring shone in the morning light, as if summoning the power of hope.
"We have been waiting for this moment!" Lin Feng's sword is already in his hand, and Lan Yan jumps on it, which is the will to defend to the death.
"Every step we take is to move towards the light." Zhou Lili murmured softly, her eyes were firm, and the staff in her hand emitted a soft and powerful blue light, as if responding to her inner belief.
