"I'm fine, as long as we are together, we will be able to overcome everything." Chen Le's voice was weak, but there was a hint of determination.
"We have to keep moving forward." Lin Feng took a deep breath,
"What is the next challenge?" Lily looked around, her heart full of anticipation and nervousness.
The child's voice sounded again, with a mysterious smile: "You have overcome the fear of the past, but next, you will face the fear of the future."
< br>Before they finished speaking, the surrounding scene changed again, and they were transported to a strange place. Surrounded by an endless wilderness, the sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder and lightning, as if foreshadowing the coming storm.
"What...is this place?" Lin Feng's heart tightened and he felt uneasy.
"This is your fear of the future, facing an uncertain fate." The child's voice sounded in his ears, with a hint of mystery.
"We must stay calm." Lin Feng tried to calm himself down and secretly encouraged him. He knew that if they couldn't overcome their fears, they wouldn't be able to move on.
“Let’s face it together!” Lily held Lin Feng’s hand, her eyes shining with determination.
“Yes, we will never give up!” Chen Le also encouraged them and tried to cheer them up.
Just as they were preparing to meet the challenge, countless bolts of lightning suddenly fell from the sky, as if they were about to defeat them. Lin Feng's heart tightened and he felt a sense of powerlessness.
"Don't give up! We can defeat it!" Lin Feng shouted loudly, silently thinking about his friend's faith in his heart, trying to resist the fear.
"Unity is strength!" Lily and Chen Le shouted in unison, and the three voices were like a powerful force that withstood the lightning in the sky.
As they shouted, the power of the lightning gradually weakened, and was eventually repelled by their faith. At this moment, the scene of the wasteland began to distort, and the darkness turned into a puff of light smoke and dissipated in the air.
"Well done, you have overcome the fear of the future." The child's voice sounded again, with a hint of relief, "But the next challenge will be more difficult."
"What is the last challenge?" There was a hint of nervousness in Lin Feng's voice. The surrounding wasteland seemed to be responding to his question. The dark clouds were rolling and the thunder was bursting, as if foreshadowing the coming horror.
"What you will face is the shadow deep in your heart." The child's voice is still crisp, but with an elusive sense of mystery, "This is your deepest fear, and it will take the form of your deepest fear." A familiar form appeared. "
"The shadow in my heart..." Lin Feng's heart trembled, and the pain and struggle of the past appeared in his mind. He clenched the staff and tried to calm down, "Let's face it together!"
"Yes, we won't back down!" Lily's voice was firm and loud, as if to inject courage into them.
“No matter what it is, we will defeat it!” Chen Le clenched his fist tightly with a firm gaze.
At this moment, the surrounding scene suddenly changed. The wasteland was gradually shrouded in thick black fog, and the vision became blurred. Lin Feng felt uneasy and felt a dull pain in his heart. Suddenly, a vague figure emerged from the black mist. It gradually became clear that it was his former self - the young man who struggled and suffered from countless failures.
“Do you think you can escape the past?” The figure said coldly, with endless despair and loss in his voice, “You can never surpass me!”
“This is Me?" Lin Feng's heart tightened, realizing that this figure represented the fear and cowardice deep in his heart. He felt a sense of oppression, as if the whole world was closing in on him.
“Don’t be affected by him!” Lily shouted from the side, trying to pull Lin Feng back from his fear. Her voice was like a ray of sunshine, illuminating the gloom in his heart.
"I will no longer be bound by the past!" Lin Feng responded loudly, with a strong fighting spirit igniting in his heart. He gripped the staff tightly and rushed towards the figure, trying to use light to dispel the darkness in his heart.
"You don't understand real fear at all!" The figure's voice was full of ridicule, and then he stretched out his hand, and the dark power surged towards Lin Feng like a tide, trying to devour him.
Lin Feng felt suffocated and could hardly breathe. At this moment, Lily and Chen Le were also affected by the power of darkness, with painful expressions on their faces.
"Don't give up! We are friends!" Chen Le's voice rang in Lin Feng's ears, like a shot in the arm.
“Yes, let’s go together!” Lily held Lin Feng’s hand tightly, her eyes shining with determination. Her belief was like a warm force, slowly dispelling the fear in Lin Feng's heart.
"Unity is strength!" Lin Feng took a deep breath, silently chanting his friend's name in his heart, trying to unite their beliefs.
"Go, disappear!" Lin Feng roared, and the staff drew a line of light in the air, heading straight for the blurry figure. The light is like a sharp sword, piercing the darkness and striking directly at the fear in your heart.
"Do you think you can defeat me like this?" The figure's voice was filled with ferocity, and the dark power attacked Lin Feng again, instantly knocking him to the ground.
"Lin Feng!" Lily and Chen Le shouted at the same time, their hearts filled with uneasiness.
"I...I'm fine." Lin Feng tried to stand up. Although his body ached, he knew he could never give up. A flash of panic flashed through his heart, but he understood that only by facing it could he overcome it.
"I will defeat you!" Lin Feng used all his strength to send a bright light to the figure, silently chanting their beliefs in his heart, and trying to resist the power of darkness.
At this moment, the power of darkness suddenly became extremely powerful. Lin Feng felt suffocated, and his body seemed to be tightly grasped by invisible hands. His staff was also knocked away at this moment and fell heavily to the ground.
"Lin Feng!" Lily's voice was filled with anxiety. She ran towards Lin Feng with all her strength, but was blocked by the power of darkness and could not get closer.
"I can't let you down!" Lin Feng felt a sharp pain in his heart, and memories with his friends flashed through his mind. Those moments of laughter and tears seemed to remind him that he could not give up.
"Unity is strength!" Lin Feng thought silently in his heart, trying to unite the beliefs of himself and his friends. At this moment, his body was surrounded by a warm force, and the beliefs of Lily and Chen Le came together like light, forming a powerful barrier to resist the power of darkness.
"Let's be together!" The three voices sounded in unison, like a strong wind, blowing up endless courage and hitting the blurry figure.
"Ah!" The figure let out a heart-rending scream. As the light hit, the power of darkness was gradually dissipated, and finally turned into a puff of light smoke and dissipated in the air.
"Well done, you have overcome the shadow in your heart." The child's voice sounded again, with a hint of relief, "Your faith will become your strength."
Lin Feng gasped Sighing, my heart was filled with joy and relief. He turned around and saw smiles on the faces of Lily and Chen Le. Although they still looked tired, their eyes shone with determination.
"We succeeded!" Lin Feng said excitedly, feeling an indescribable sense of accomplishment in his heart. "But we have to keep moving forward." Lily smiled slightly. Although her face was still pale, her eyes were shining with hope.
"Yes, we have overcome the fears of the past and the future, but the road ahead is still full of challenges." Chen Le's voice was firm, as if injecting new strength into them.
"Your courage and unity will bring you endless power." The child's voice sounded again, and then a beam of light fell from the sky and enveloped the three of them.
"This is your reward, passing on your faith and strength." A bright crystal emerged from the light, exuding a warm radiance, as if it contained infinite energy.
"What is this?" Lin Feng asked curiously.
"This is your inheritance, which can help you overcome all difficulties in the future." The child answered with a smile, with relief and expectation in his eyes.
"Thank you!" Lin Feng said gratefully, his heart full of expectations for the future.
"We will definitely cherish this strength and keep moving forward!" Lily and Chen Le said in unison, with a firm light shining in their eyes.
Just as the light gradually dissipated and the three people were filled with hope and faith, suddenly, a low roar came from the distance, as if some huge power was awakening. Lin Feng, Lily and Chen Le looked at each other, feeling uneasy in their hearts.
"What is this sound?" Lily frowned slightly and looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.
"I don't know either, but we can't stop." Lin Feng said firmly. Although he was still a little uneasy, he understood that the road ahead was still full of challenges.
At this moment, the black mist gathered again, forming a huge vortex. A strange light shone in the vortex, accompanied by waves of whispers, which seemed to be calling them. The child's figure gradually became blurred in the light, and finally turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.
"Should we go there?" Chen Le pointed at the whirlpool, with some hesitation on his face.
"We have no choice, maybe that is the task we have to face next." Lin Feng took a deep breath and took a step forward, "No matter what, we have to face it together."
The three of them walked towards the whirlpool without hesitation. As they approached, the whirlpool rotated faster and faster, as if they were about to be sucked into it. The moment they were about to touch the whirlpool, a strong light enveloped them, and then a sense of dizziness hit them, and the scene in front of them changed instantly.
When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a brand new place. Surrounded by a magnificent palace, golden light filled the entire space, and various mysterious runes were carved on the walls, exuding a mysterious and powerful atmosphere.
"Here is..." Lily looked around in surprise, with an incredible light shining in her eyes.
“I think this is the palace of the great sect.” Lin Feng whispered, his heart filled with awe.
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a gorgeous robe walked out, with a serious face and eyes like an eagle, giving people a sense of inviolable majesty.
"Are you the three chosen ones?" The man's voice was low and powerful, seeming to shake the entire hall.
"Yes, we are Lin Feng, Lily and Chen Le." Lin Feng took a step forward and answered firmly.
"Very well, listen, you have been assigned an important task by the big sect." The man's tone became serious, "In the ancient ruins, a powerful artifact was lost. Now, the evil forces are trying to seize it. If they succeed, the entire continent will fall into endless darkness."
"We are willing to accept this task!" The three said in unison, with a determined light in their eyes.
“The location of the mission is in the Ice Mountains in the north, where the environment is harsh and dangerous.” The man continued, “You must find the artifact within three days and bring it back to the main gate.”
"Understood, we will do our best to complete the task!" Lin Feng replied, with a strong fighting spirit igniting in his heart.
“Remember, your mission is not only to find artifacts, but also to stop those evil forces.” There was a hint of solemnity in the man’s tone, “During your journey, you may encounter various kinds of Be sure to stay vigilant when facing challenges.”
"We will!" Lily nodded firmly, swearing secretly in her heart.
Following the man's guidance, the three of them walked out of the palace and embarked on a journey to the Ice Mountains. Along the way, the cold wind was biting and snowflakes were flying, which seemed to test their will.
"This journey is really difficult." Chen Le exhaled a white breath, with a bit of fatigue on his face, "How can we find that artifact?"
"Find the clues first, Let's look for traces of evil forces again." Lin Feng's eyes were firm and he thought to himself, "We must stay united and support each other."
As they continued to move forward, suddenly, there was a piercing scream. After losing the tranquility, the three of them immediately became alert, and the air around them seemed to freeze.
"What is it?" Lily asked nervously, with a trace of fear in her eyes.
"I don't know, but we must be careful." Lin Feng clenched his staff and was wary.
At this moment, several black shadows emerged from the snow and rushed towards them quickly. They were actually several strange snow wolves, covered with thick frost, and with fierce eyes flashing. of light.
“Get ready to fight!” Lin Feng shouted and quickly got into a fighting stance.
"I'll lure them away!" Lily rushed forward without hesitation, raising the shining staff high and waving towards a snow wolf.
"Lily, be careful!" Chen Le shouted anxiously, secretly worried.
"Don't worry, I can do it!" Lily's voice was firm and loud. As she waved her staff, a bright light instantly hit the snow wolf. The wolf howled and was knocked back.
"Good job!" Lin Feng felt excited and quickly rushed towards the other snow wolf. His staff drew an arc in the air and hit its head directly.
However, the Snow Wolf was extremely fast, and Lin Feng's attack missed. Instead, it was scratched by its sharp claws, leaving a wound.
“Ah!” Lin Feng groaned, his heart burning with anger and unable to tolerate his mistake.
"Lin Feng!" Lily and Chen Le shouted at the same time, their hearts filled with tension. (End of this chapter)
