The stone giant stared at them, seeming to consider their sincerity. "Trial? Huh, no one has dared to mention this for many years. If you want to see the guardian, you must first prove your respect and understanding of the land. Come with me!"
Following the pace of the stone giant, the two were led deep into the forest, where there was a sea of strange flowers. Each flower emitted a different color of light, illuminating the entire area and making it breathtakingly beautiful.
"This is the tapestry of life. Each flower represents a form of life in nature. Only by finding and touching the flower of life that represents the deepest part of your soul can you prove your understanding." The stone giant's
The sound echoed over the sea of flowers.
Leo and Lin Feng exchanged a look, then dispersed and searched among the flowers. Leo finally found an inconspicuous blue-gray flower in an inconspicuous corner. Although it was not gorgeous, it had an indescribable feeling.
The beauty of perseverance. Lin Feng was attracted by a flower that bloomed with warm yellow light, like sunshine. The flower exuded positivity and vitality.
The moment the two touched the flowers, a warm power poured into their hearts. They seemed to be able to hear the whispers of nature and feel the true meaning of life.
"Very good, you have passed the preliminary test." The stone giant's voice came with a hint of approval, "The real test is still to come, but you have proven your worth. The guardian will appear and give you
Your further guidance.”
At the moment when the words fell, the land in the center of the sea of flowers slowly parted, and a beam of light rose from the ground, gradually revealing the image of an old man wearing a robe woven from leaves. There were thousands of years of vicissitudes in his eyes, and there was also nature hidden in his eyes.
's mystery.
"It's been a long time since a traveler came here." The old man's voice was gentle but with irresistible power. "Your pursuit of balance gives me hope. But remember, the real balance is not simple opposition, but
Symbiosis and transformation.”
"We will remember the teachings." Leo and Lin Feng replied at the same time, their eyes shining with desire for the unknown and determination for the mission.
"Then, go ahead. Water and fire are waiting for your exploration. Remember, each element has its own uniqueness. Learn to listen to their voices, and you will be closer to that balance." The guardian's voice gradually faded.
Fading away, it finally turned into a wisp of breeze and dissipated in the sea of flowers.
Leo and Lin Feng looked at each other and smiled. They knew that this journey had just begun, but their hearts were filled with unprecedented determination and hope.
"Lin Feng, we are not only doing it for ourselves, but also for Leia, Alvin, and the world." Leo's words were firm and powerful.
"That's right, no matter how difficult the situation ahead is, as long as the four of us are united, there will be no obstacle that we can't overcome." Lin Feng clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with the light of battle.
"Let's set off and head east. The realm of water and the trial of fire are waiting for us. There may be more unknowns and challenges on the road, but I believe that as long as we walk together, everything is possible." Leo turned around and looked at
Towards the depths of the green forest, there is both an end and a new beginning.
Lin Feng followed Leo's pace, and the two of them left a string of firm footprints in the sea of flowers. "By the way, Leo, in the sea of flowers just now, the blue-gray flower you chose seems to match you very well. It symbolizes
What are you talking about?" Lin Feng asked curiously, trying to pry into Leo's innermost thoughts.
Leo smiled slightly, with a hint of bitterness and relief in the smile, "That is a flower that represents perseverance and forbearance. Its name is 'Tears of the Dark Night'. It taught me that even in the darkest moments,
Keep the light in your heart and don't let fear and despair swallow you up. Just like the darkness I have experienced, it makes me cherish the light in front of me even more."
Hearing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but patted Leo on the back, "Brother, your heart is stronger than anyone else. We all have our own shadows, what matters is how we face it, isn't it?"
"That's true, Lin Feng. Your sun-like flower, the 'light of vitality', also reflects your endless optimism and passion. Having a partner like you is my greatest luck." Leo's words
Full of sincerity and gratitude.
The two continued to move forward, through the green forest, towards their next destination. Along the way, they discussed the challenges that Leia and Alvin might face, and imagined what form the trial of water and fire would take.
, feeling both anxious and excited.
"Tell me, what kind of guardian will Leah meet in the realm of water? Will it be a gentle water elf, or an unpredictable ocean giant?" Lin Feng guessed, with curiosity about the unknown shining in his eyes.
.
"As for Alvin, his intuition and calmness are perfect for dealing with the trial of fire. Fire is always hot and impulsive, but it is also a symbol of purification and rebirth. I hope he can find the flame that guides his heart.
Key." Leo's eyes were full of trust and expectation for his partner.
Their words were accompanied by the rustle of fallen leaves under their feet, intertwined into a march of brave men. As night fell, stars dotted the sky, and the two camped beside a clear stream. Under the light of the campfire, Leo took out a piece of bread from his bag,
He gave half to Lin Feng, and the two of them continued to plan tomorrow's trip while eating.
"Tomorrow morning, we will enter unknown territory. Lin Feng, are you ready? This is not only the conquest of the elements, but also a challenge to our own limits." Leo's voice sounded particularly special in the quiet night.
firm.
"Leo, since I embarked on this journey, I have never backed down. With you by my side, and Leia and Alvin in the distance, there is nothing that the four of us cannot face together." Lin Feng's
The smile looks particularly warm under the firelight, which is a kind of deep trust and dependence on the companion.
"Then, let us set off again for the sake of balance, the world, and the friendship between us." Leo raised the kettle in his hand as if to salute the stars.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Cheers, for our adventure, for the miracles that are coming." Lin Feng touched Leo's kettle lightly, and their eyes flashed with longing and determination for the future.
As the night deepened, the bonfire slowly extinguished, leaving only the distant sounds of beasts and the whisper of the wind in the forest. Leo and Lin Feng nestled under the starry sky and fell into sleep. In their dreams, they had embarked on a new journey.
On his journey, together with his partners, he faced unknown trials and moved towards the ultimate balance of light and darkness.
"Hey, Lin Feng, do you think we can find the stars that guide us?" Leo suddenly asked in the quiet night, breaking the silence. His voice was soft, as if he didn't want to disturb the tranquility.
Lin Feng looked up at the starry night sky with a smile on his lips, "The stars are always there, Leo, as clear as our goals. The key is whether we are willing to follow the light in our hearts to interpret the piece of land that belongs to us.
constellation chart."
"That's right." Leo nodded in agreement, and the two of them fell into their own thoughts again. Soon, Lin Feng broke his thoughts, with a hint of cunning in his eyes, "Did you know that ancient navigators relied on the stars to navigate across the vast ocean?
Of the sea. Although we are not on the sea, is this forest and this unknown land another vast ocean?"
"Yes, and we are the explorers looking for the New World." Leo said, his tone full of yearning for adventure, "Speaking of which, I have a bold guess about the guardian of water. Water.
, is the source of life, gentle but ever-changing. I think what Leah will meet may be a water goddess with both wisdom and beauty."
"Haha, then Alvin will have a hard time. The trial of fire sounds like he is fighting against his own desires and passions. But then again, with his kind of fire personality under the iceberg, maybe he can actually achieve something with the flames.
This kind of resonance." Lin Feng's words contained both a joke and an affirmation of Alvin's ability.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and then fell into a brief silence. Only the distant stream gurgled, like a whisper of nature. After a moment, Leo spoke softly, "Lin Feng, no matter what trials we each face,
Remember, our hearts are always connected. That power is more powerful than any magic."
"Of course, Leo." Lin Feng's answer was full of power, "We are each other's backing and light. No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, as long as we join hands, there will be no difficulty that cannot be overcome."
The night breeze brought coolness, but it also carried a reassuring power. Leo and Lin Feng lay side by side under the starry sky. Although their conversation was simple, it was full of deep friendship and infinite hope for the future.
Longing.
"You know, Leo," Lin Feng's voice sounded softly, as if he was afraid of interrupting the tranquility, "Sometimes I think, maybe we are not just looking for the five trialists. Maybe, this journey is
Let the four of us find ourselves, understand each other, and finally merge into an unrivaled force."
"I feel the same way, Lin Feng." Leo said with emotion, "Each of us has our own... own shadow. Along the way, while helping each other fight against inner demons, we are also constantly growing and transforming.
"
Just as Leo and Lin Feng were immersed in their beautiful thoughts about the future, the tranquility of the forest was suddenly broken by a burst of rapid and heavy footsteps, and an ominous atmosphere filled the air.
"Who is it?" Lin Feng jumped up alertly and instantly drew out the long sword beside him. Leo quickly stood still, and the two of them were back to back, guarding their surroundings.
"Huh, stupid outsiders, they actually broke into the forbidden area." Following a burst of cold ridicule, several figures slowly walked out of the shadow of the trees. They were wrapped in a strange black mist, and their faces were blurred. Only a pair of pairs were exposed.
Bloodthirsty eyes.
"Dark wizards!" Leo whispered. These creatures are said to enjoy manipulating shadows and corruption and are a cancer in nature.
"Lin Feng, be careful, they are good at shadow magic, direct attacks may be ineffective." Leo reminded, while gathering the power of light in his body, preparing to fight.
"Understood." Lin Feng nodded, adjusted his breathing, and the tip of the sword trembled slightly, as if it had a subtle resonance with the surrounding air.
The battle was about to break out, and the dark wizards took the lead in attacking. Several black shadows came at them like poisonous snakes, trying to wrap around and devour the two of them. Leo and Lin Feng dodge flexibly and launched a counterattack at the same time. Lin Feng's sword blade cut through the space and cut off the people in the void.
There were shadows one after another, and Leo counterattacked with the light technique, illuminating the surroundings and temporarily forcing the enemy back.
However, just as the battle was reaching a stalemate, a dark wizard took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. A bunch of shadow arrows penetrated Leo's defense and hit him hard on the left shoulder. Leo's body shook and he half-knelt on the ground.
, his face was pale, and blood was gushing out from the wound.
"Leo!" Lin Feng roared, furious. He turned his sword and rushed towards the sneak attack black wizard with thunderous force. The sword was as bright as a dragon and killed him with one blow. When the remaining black wizards saw this, they were afraid of Lin Feng.
The explosive power fled into the darkness and disappeared.
"Hold on, I'll treat you right away." Lin Feng anxiously supported Leo and rummaged through the medicine bag. But Leo's injuries were extraordinary, and it seemed difficult for ordinary herbs to work.
"No need...it's a waste of effort..." Leo gasped, with blood stains on the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were extremely firm, "Ordinary medicines are useless for this kind of shadow injury. You must...find the heart of light to be completely cured."
"Heart of Light? What is that?" Lin Feng looked confused, but then made up his mind, "Tell me the location and I will get it."
"Dongfang, it is said that it is...in a forgotten temple..." Leo had just finished speaking, his body was already shaking from severe pain, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
"Don't worry, I will take you with me. Even if the sky falls and the earth falls, I will protect you." Lin Feng's eyes were determined, he carried Leo on his back, and headed towards the unknown land in the east, embarking on a journey to find the Heart of Light.
.
The night was getting darker, and Lin Feng's back looked lonely and strong, but his steps were extremely firm. Along the way, he lowered his head from time to time to talk to the unconscious Leo, as if this could convey strength to Leo and cheer himself up.
"Leo, do you remember the promise we made when we were children? No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must face and overcome them together. This time is no exception. We will find the Heart of Light and continue our journey. Do you think so?
?" Lin Feng's tone was soft, but with unquestionable firmness.
"I will definitely do it, Lin Feng." Although Leo's voice was weak, it carried a hint of smile, echoing in Lin Feng's ears, as if he could hear every word.
With the caress of the night wind, Lin Feng quickened his pace, each step filled with determination and hope. He had a belief in his heart that the Heart of Light was not only the key to curing Leo, but it might also be the key to their journey.
A guiding beacon of trial. Every tree and leaf in the forest seems to be guiding them on the path, as if nature itself is responding to their courage and determination.
The sky gradually turned white, and the first ray of sunlight penetrated the treetops and illuminated the front of them. At this moment, Lin Feng discovered that there was a path covered by dense vegetation in front of him. It would be almost impossible to detect it unless the light shone just right. He
An inexplicable premonition surged in my heart. This might be the road leading to the forgotten temple.
