"Your power is indeed powerful, Lightbringers." The mysterious man's deep voice spread through the cloak, neither hostile nor friendly, "But what awaits you at the border is far more terrifying than the Shadow Abyss."
Lin Feng's friend took a step forward and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you? Why are you here if you know our destination?"
The mysterious man raised his head slightly, revealing a hideous scar on his chin: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I have witnessed the terror of that power. Now, I am here to remind you not to underestimate the enemy."
"We will naturally act with caution." The female mage calmly responded, "But any evil that threatens this land is our enemy."
Hearing this, the mysterious man chuckled, and then dropped a package: "There are clues about that power in it, which may be useful to you. Remember, the real test has just begun."
After saying this, he swayed and disappeared into the night, leaving only a line of evocative words echoing in the air.
"We have to see what's in that package." The little boy couldn't wait to go over and opened the package curiously.
Inside the package, a worn diary and an ancient map lay quietly, seemingly carrying unknown secrets.
"It seems that our journey will add some unsolved mysteries." Arya smiled, raised her gaze from the map and looked at her teammates, "But as long as we are together, there will be no unsolved mysteries.
"
"Well said, Arya." Lin Feng's friend stood up, the bonfire reflected on his resolute face, "No matter how many unknowns there are in the future, as long as there is light in our hearts, nothing can stop us from moving forward."
Under the cover of night, the team continued to discuss around the bonfire, preparing to meet all the challenges that followed. On the far border, a huge chess game seemed to have been quietly laid out, waiting for the arrival of this group of light messengers.
"Then, let's set off early tomorrow morning." Lin Feng's friend announced, his words full of expectations for the future and fear of the unknown.
"I agree, starting earlier can buy more time." The soldier nodded, his eyes blazing.
The little girl and the boy exchanged excited glances, seemingly looking forward to the upcoming adventure. "We also need to go to bed early so that we can have the energy to fight against the bad guys!"
The words of the villagers rang out again, this time in the dead of night. Several old people sat around under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, whispering:
"These kids are really not simple. It's not like we used to have to hide from a bobcat or wild beast."
"Yes, they have the courage and belief, and they are destined to achieve great things."
"May they go well and may the light always be with them."
Early the next morning, as the sun penetrated the mist, the team packed up and set off on the road to the border. The little girl held the shabby diary in her hands and occasionally flipped through it, as if she could feel the breath of the past between the lines. She asked curiously: "
What will these notes tell us?"
Lin Feng's friend smiled and said: "The secret will always be revealed at the most appropriate time. What we have to do now is to prepare ourselves."
Passing through a small town along the way, passers-by looked at this well-equipped and determined team and started talking:
"Look, are those the legendary Lightbringers? I heard they defeated the Immortal King."
"Yeah, it would be great if I could become that kind of hero."
"Mom, when I grow up, I want to protect the world, just like them!" A child tugged on the corner of his mother's clothes, his eyes sparkling.
In the team, the female mage studied the ancient map carefully and shared her insights with everyone from time to time: "According to this map, we should be close to an ancient ruins, where key clues may be hidden."
"Ruins are often accompanied by danger, but they also hide the truth of history." Arya added, her elemental power swirling gently, as if warming up for the upcoming exploration.
Finally, the team arrived at the ruins indicated on the map. Under the setting sun, the ruins showed a desolate beauty. At this moment, a low chanting sound came faintly, which made people feel chilly.
"What's that sound?" The little boy nervously grabbed his sister's hand and looked around.
Lin Feng's friends became alert and motioned for everyone to come closer, lowering their voices: "Be careful, it might be a trap. Arya, can you sense what it is?"
Arya closed her eyes and concentrated. After a moment, she opened her eyes and said, "There are powerful magic waves, and there are more than one."
"Get ready to fight." The soldier drew his sword, and his calm voice boosted the team's morale.
As they went deeper into the ruins, the chanting became clearer and clearer, until they stepped into an open underground chamber. In the center stood an old mage, casting spells, with strange runes floating around.
"You are finally here, Lightbringer." The mage's voice was full of vicissitudes of life, but also revealed a hint of relief, "I am the last guardian here, and I have been waiting for a capable warrior to inherit this important task for a long time.
"
"Important responsibility?" Lin Feng's friend asked doubtfully.
"Yes," the old mage sighed, "under these ruins, there is an ancient and powerful evil sealed. Now its awakening is close at hand, and someone must re-strengthen the seal."
"We will do our best." The female mage promised.
"Very good," the old mage handed over a staff inlaid with gems. "This is the inheritance of past guardians. It will guide you to find the core of the seal. Remember, unity and faith are the keys to defeat everything."
The handover ceremony was simple and solemn, and the staff shone warmly in the hands of Lin Feng's friend, seeming to respond to his determination.
"Then, let's set off immediately." He gripped the staff tightly and turned to face the team. Everyone expressed their silent support and trust through actions.
Late at night, when they returned to the camp again, around the dwindling campfire, Arya whispered: "We are getting closer to the answer, but I also feel more challenged than ever before."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "No matter what, I am not afraid as long as you are here." The little girl snuggled next to her and closed her eyes with peace of mind.
"Yes, we are together." Lin Feng's friend caressed the little girl's head and glanced at everyone, unswervingly. "What we will face tomorrow is not only an ancient evil, but also a threat to ourselves.
A test of faith. But as Lin Feng often said, the reason why light exists is because we dare to step into the darkness."
The warrior tightened the sword in his hand and said with unquestionable determination in his voice: "No matter what challenges we face, nothing can shake our determination to protect this land. As long as there is light in our hearts, the darkness will eventually be illuminated."
The next day, before the sky turned white, the team set off quietly towards the sealed place. On the way, the caravans they met by chance cast their eyes in amazement when they saw this well-equipped and extraordinary team.
"Look over there, are they the Lightbringers? I heard they are going to fight an ancient enemy."
"It's really brave. I hope they can return successfully and bring more peace to ordinary people like us."
The hawker stopped what he was doing and looked enviously at the retreating figure: "It would be great if I could be like them, risking everything for their ideals."
Entering the sealed area, the surrounding air became extremely heavy, and it seemed that every breath required a great deal of effort. The elements became more active around Arya, and they seemed to be excited and nervous about the upcoming challenge.
"We're here." Arya whispered, her finger pointing to a hidden stone door, which was engraved with complex spells, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
As the staff touched the stone door lightly, the ancient mechanism was activated, and the heavy stone door slowly opened, revealing the deep passage leading to the core of the seal. A group of people stepped into it, and the surrounding walls began to emit a faint blue light, reflecting the road and the
Everyone showed a determined expression.
"This light is a reflection of the power of the seal." The old mage's last words echoed in their ears, reminding them to be cautious in every step they take.
Going deep into the cave, challenges come one after another. First there are mechanical traps, and then there are creatures corrupted by ancient evil forces. Every battle makes the team more united and makes their beliefs stronger.
Finally, in a vast and solemn underground hall, they found the core of the seal - a huge crystal, in which the ancient and evil power was imprisoned, struggling, trying to break free.
"Are you ready?" Lin Feng's friend asked, the staff in his hand shining brightly, echoing everyone's courage and determination.
"Ready." Everyone said in unison, the elements, sword light, and spells gathered into an irresistible force at this moment, rushing towards the crystal.
Just when they were about to complete the reinforcement of the seal, a sudden shock wave almost made them unsteady. A cold voice echoed in the empty hall: "Stupid mortals, do you really think you can stop me?"
"We may be small, but what we defend is every life and hope on this land." The female mage's words were like a sharp blade, cutting through the taunt of darkness and inspiring the team's final strength.
After a fierce duel, the seal was completely strengthened, the ancient and evil power fell into sleep again, and everyone in the team grew and transformed in this battle.
"We did it." The little boy gasped, his eyes full of pride.
"Yes, but we know that the road to light will never be smooth." Lin Feng's friend looked at the calm crystal with deep eyes, "There are still many unknowns waiting for us, and many challenges we need to face."
Arya came over and put her hand on his shoulder: "As long as we stand together, the light will never go out."
The bonfire was lit again, and the brightest star in the night sky seemed to praise them, and the sound of celebrations came from the village not far away. The villagers seemed to have sensed the end of the crisis in some way and began to celebrate. The victory of the lightbringer.
"Listen, that's the sound of celebration." The little girl jumped up excitedly, pointing to the village in the distance and said, "They know we succeeded!"
"Yes, news always spreads like wildfire." Lin Feng's friend responded with a smile. He looked around at his companions, "However, a real hero will not stay in the glory of the past. We still have a long way to go. Walk."
"That's right." The soldier wiped the blood on his sword. Although he was tired, his tone was firm, "Peace needs to be protected, and this is why we are born."
Just as the team was immersed in the joy of victory, a traveler hurried over with panic on his face: "Dear messengers of light, please forgive my abruptness, but I have urgent news to tell you."
"Excuse me, what happened?" Arya took a step forward, the power of the elements surrounding her, ready to deal with unknown threats at any time.
The traveler took a breath and swallowed: "In the City of Dawn in the east, a strange disease suddenly spread. The residents of the city fell into coma one by one, and...it is said that there were people in the city who were not of this world. shadow."
The atmosphere among the team suddenly became tense, and determination flashed in everyone's eyes.
"It seems that our rest will be delayed again." The female mage put away the map with a solemn expression, "We cannot sit idly by and ignore this kind of thing."
"Yes," Lin Feng's friend nodded, "If that is a new challenge, then we will face it. The messenger of light is to light up hope before darkness comes."
The little boy clenched his fists and looked firmly: "I also want to help! We can cure them, right?"
"Of course, let's go together." The little girl took the little boy's hand, and the two figures looked particularly brave under the light of the bonfire.
As the night grew darker, the team embarked on the journey again, this time their goal was to save the City of Dawn. The villagers stood at the entrance of the village, waving handkerchiefs, watching their backs disappear into the night.
"They are really the embodiment of light." The old man said with emotion.
"I hope they have a safe journey." Another villager prayed with his hands clasped together.
Shortly after the team left, two elders who had been hiding in the darkness slowly walked out, with deep worries and expectations hidden in their eyes.
"The balance of this world has been disturbed again." One of the elders whispered.
"Yes, the battle between light and darkness will never end." Another person answered, looking deeply into the distance, "But they may be the key to leading the world to a new era."
"All we can do is watch and guide silently." The first elder sighed, with a mixture of helplessness and relief in his tone.
"That's right, at least lay the foundation stones on their road to ensure that they can go further." The second elder nodded, and the two of them turned into the breeze and disappeared under the night, leaving only a leaf.
Floating gently on the way the team left, it seemed to be a witness to future adventures.
A few days later, the outline of the City of Dawn gradually emerged in the first ray of dawn. At the gate of the city, several city guards looked tired, but they still stood firm at their posts. When they saw Lin Feng's friends and his group, surprise and surprise flashed in their eyes.
