With a loud noise, the body of the Dark Guardian collapsed, and an ancient and sacred power emerged, surrounding the heroes, as if it was a reward for their heroic actions.
"We...we did it!" the little boy cried out in surprise, with tears of excitement in his eyes.
"But this is just the beginning." The female mage leaned down and picked up a key inlaid with strange runes on the ground. "This should be the key to opening the seal. We must continue to move forward until we end all this."
When they passed through the last dense forest, an ancient ruin suddenly appeared in front of them. It was an altar forgotten by time. The seal in the center gave off a faint glow, as if calling them.
"It seems that all the clues point here." The soldier stared at the seal, with both determination and worry in his tone.
The female mage stepped forward and slowly inserted the rune key into the groove of the seal. In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, and the seal was filled with light. A series of ancient legends and future revelations emerged in their minds.
"This...is the answer we are looking for!" The little boy jumped up excitedly.
"But it is also a new challenge." Lin Feng's friend said in a serious tone, "What is hidden behind the seal may be a power that we cannot imagine."
As the seal was unsealed, the low and familiar laughter came from the depths of the forest again. This time, it seemed clearer and full of threats: "Very good, you succeeded, but you also happened to fall into my hands."
Trap. Now, let’s see the real game, which has just begun.”
"Who's there?" The soldier looked around alertly, holding the sword tightly in his hand, ready to fight at any time.
"No need to look for it, I am here and in each of your hearts." That voice seemed to come from all directions, carrying indescribable pressure.
The little boy nervously grabbed the female mage's clothes and asked in a low voice: "Is it him? The guy who's been staring at us?"
"Obviously, our actions have attracted his attention." The female mage calmly analyzed, while comforting the little boy with her eyes.
"Then, come out and face each other, what kind of hero is it to hide in the dark and talk?" Lin Feng's friend shouted loudly, trying to scare the invisible enemy with his momentum.
"Hero? Hero? Haha, your understanding of me is too superficial." As the words fell, the air twisted, and a figure in black robe slowly appeared. His face was stern, and his eyes flashed with a cunning light, "I
He is the oldest watcher on this land and the guardian of all secrets. Your actions of unlocking the seal are just acting according to the script I designed."
"What is your purpose?" The warrior took a step forward, pointing the tip of his sword directly at the opponent.
The man in black robe smiled slightly, spread his hands, showing unparalleled confidence: "The purpose? I just want to see if there are any challengers worthy of my attention in this era. Maybe you can bring me a little fun.
.”
"It's too much to use the safety of the entire world as your game!" the female mage angrily reprimanded.
"World? Safety?" The black-robed man sneered, "Human beings are always so naive, thinking that they are the center of the universe. But the truth is that the destruction and rebirth of the world are just part of the cycle of nature. I just accelerated this process.
, let the wheels of history roll forward."
"We won't let you succeed." The little boy stood up firmly. Even though he faced a powerful enemy, he was still fearless. "We will protect everyone, no matter what the cost!"
"Your courage is commendable, kid." The man in black robe seemed to be very interested in the little boy's performance, "But are you sure you are really ready to face everything that comes next? The truth is often more difficult to understand than the light on the surface.
bear."
At this moment, the ground began to shake, and the ancient altar emitted a dazzling light. The seal was completely unlocked, and the energy released from it surged in all directions like a torrent. The entire Shadow Forest seemed to come alive, with trees swaying and everything alive.
Recovery is also accompanied by unknown changes.
"Look, the prelude to a new era has begun." The man in black robe turned his back to everyone, looking at the gradually changing forest, "And you will either become the founders of the new era, or you will become the stepping stone to the new era.
.”
"We choose the former." Lin Feng's friend said firmly, and the surrounding passers-by and team members responded one after another, with unyielding flames burning in their eyes.
"Very good, let's wait and see." The man in black robe disappeared, leaving only one sentence echoing in the air, "Remember, the real game has just begun..."
The discussion in the crowd gradually began, full of surprises, doubts and speculations about the future:
"What is going on? Who is that person?"
"Can they really stand up to such a powerful force?"
"When the seal is released, what will happen to the world next?" A young woman tightly grasped her companion's hand, with both panic and expectation in her eyes.
An old villager shook his head and sighed: "The guardian from the ancient legend appears in this world. This is not a good thing. I'm afraid something big will happen."
On the side, several strong men gathered together and talked in a low voice: "Looking at the posture of those warriors, they seem to have been prepared. If we can really protect this world, then we must also give them a helping hand."
The little boy's eyes were looking for support in the crowd, and suddenly a childish voice came: "Brother, you will protect everyone, right?" A little girl held her brother's hand and looked up at him, her eyes filled with tears.
worship.
The boy knelt down and touched her head gently: "Of course, it's not just me, all of us, including these brave warriors, will protect the world together, as well as you and mother."
At this time, the soldier walked towards the crowd and said loudly: "No matter what lies ahead, we will face it side by side. We need everyone's help to build our defense line together and protect our homeland."

dark."
People were silent for a while, and then one by one expressed their willingness to join. Their determination gathered into a warm and powerful force, illuminating the uncertainty they were about to face.
Behind all this, Lin Feng's friend whispered to the female mage: "It seems that the game of the man in black has just begun. We must find more clues about him and how to fight him."
The female mage nodded with a far-reaching look: "Indeed, but I have a hunch that the answer we are looking for may be hidden behind the power released in the seal. We must find out the truth as soon as possible."
Just as they were discussing countermeasures, the little boy suddenly ran up to the warrior, holding a piece of shimmering fragment in his hand: "This flew out when the seal was released. I think it is very important."
The soldier took the fragment and looked at it carefully. The ancient patterns carved on it seemed to tell an unknown story. "This is... this may be the key. We have to find someone who understands ancient texts to interpret it and see if we can discover the man in black robes."
weakness or his true intentions."
The sun sets again, and the heroes embark on a more arduous journey, not only to explore newly discovered clues, but also to find the power that can unite everyone and resist the coming storm.
"Let's go, every minute and second is crucial." The soldier put away the fragments, turned to everyone, and said, "We need wisdom and courage to uncover the truth behind all this."
Everyone responded to the soldier's call, and the team advanced slowly in the afterglow of the setting sun. Every face revealed perseverance and determination. The little boy followed closely beside the soldier. Although his steps were slightly staggering, his eyes were extremely determined.
On the way, an old businessman who was passing by joined them curiously. He asked, "Where are you going? It looks like you are on an important mission."
"We are heading to the nearest city of scholars, hoping to find a wise man who can interpret this fragment." The female mage explained patiently, while showing the mysterious fragment. The old businessman took a closer look, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
"Oh, this... I seem to have seen the symbol on this somewhere before, but I can't remember exactly where it is." The old businessman's face was covered with wrinkles of confusion.
"It doesn't matter, any clues you can provide will be helpful." Lin Feng's friend encouraged, while not forgetting to look around and be alert to possible crises.
The team continued to move forward, and residents of the villages and towns along the way stopped to talk. They were full of curiosity and speculation about this seemingly ordinary but extraordinary team.
"Look, those are the heroes fighting against the Dark Guardian!" A young man shouted excitedly to his companions.
"It's amazing. I hope they can find a solution to all this." An old woman prayed with her hands clasped together, her eyes full of hope.
During this long journey, the team continues to grow, and travelers with different skills join one after another. They have only one goal - to solve the mystery and protect this continent from unknown threats.
Finally, on a sunny afternoon, the group arrived at the City of Scholars. Under the city gate, the breath of wisdom came to their faces, and the stone walls were carved with the crystallization of wisdom of scholars from past generations.
Soon after entering the city, under the guidance of a kind-hearted librarian, they found the ancient book library, which is known as a treasure house of knowledge. In the hall filled with dusty classics, a gray-haired old scholar was burying his head in a sea of books.
, hearing everyone's intention, he raised his head, a strange light flashed in his eyes.
"Let me see the fragment." The old man's voice was low and powerful. He took the fragment, put on a pair of ancient glasses, and examined it carefully.
Time seemed to freeze, and the air was filled with tension and expectation. After a long time, the old man put down the fragments and sighed deeply: "This... this symbol comes from ancient times, recording the legend of a powerful being. It is said that he has mastered the control
The ability of nature and time and space, and this existence is most likely the man in black robe."
"Control nature and time and space?" The little boy's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Exactly. According to legend, that existence left seals and trials, just waiting for capable people to unlock them, thus proving that there is still something worthy of his attention in the world. I am afraid that what you have experienced is exactly his test.
." The old man's words shocked everyone present.
"Then what should we do?" the soldier asked eagerly.
The old man thought for a moment and said slowly: "To fight against such a powerful force, force alone is not enough. The clues on the fragments point to a lost holy land, where the final secret about the seal is hidden, as well as a possible way to counterattack.
.”
The female mage nodded: "We must set off immediately."
When everyone was about to leave, the old scholar handed over a yellowed ancient book: "Bring this book with you, it may be able to help you on your journey."
As the sun sets, the heroes set off again, their silhouettes elongating in the afterglow of the setting sun, carrying hope and unknowns on their backs, heading towards the unknown holy land. Passers-by follow with their eyes, filled with expectations and uneasiness, and they understand that this is not just a group of people.
Human battles are related to the fate of the entire world.
"Will they succeed?" The little girl held her brother's hand and looked up at the stars again.
"As long as you have faith, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome." My brother's answer was gentle but firm.
In the distance, the voice of the man in black seemed to travel through time and space, echoing in the hearts of every adventurer: "Remember, the climax of the game has just begun..."
Yes, brother, I believe them." The little girl held her brother's little hand tightly, her eyes shining with eternal starlight, as if she had found their North Star in the endless night.
With the departure of the team, the city of scholars once again returned to tranquility, but under this tranquility there was an undercurrent. Their stories were quietly circulated among the scholars and residents in the city, and each version was mixed with awe and hope. A young
The apprentice excitedly discussed with his friends in the teahouse: "Did you know? They said there was a little boy in that team who was amazingly brave! I will become such a hero in the future!"
At the same time, under the guidance of ancient books, the team traveled through mountains and ridges, experienced hardships and obstacles, and finally arrived at the legendary lost holy land. The holy land was surrounded by thick fog, mysterious and quiet, as if it was a world of its own, isolated from the outside world.
The hustle and bustle. The little boy looked around curiously. Every step was full of novelty and unknown: "It feels so magical here."
"Indeed," the female mage replied softly, her eyes sweeping around, trying to understand the mystery here, "Every air is full of ancient power. Here, the key to our fight against the black-robed man and saving the world may be hidden.
"
In front of an ancient altar, everyone stopped. The warrior stepped forward and placed the fragment in his hand in the center of the altar. In an instant, the earth trembled, and the lines on the altar echoed the symbols on the fragment, emitting a dazzling light.
Ancient texts appeared in mid-air, surrounding everyone.
