Chapter 632 Amazing
"That's really amazing!" The vendor was stunned. He looked at the figures of the five people fading away, and admiration arose in his heart. "I wish you a safe journey, heroes of the town."
"Thank you, everyone's support is the driving force for us to move forward." Zhao Ming waved his hand, and the five of them continued to move forward, leaving behind them the expectations and blessings of the people of the town.
As the sun rises, a new journey officially begins. They continue to encounter various challenges and obstacles on their way to their next destination, but each difficulty is overcome by their unity and newfound strength, which also makes them more convinced of their mission as guardians.
While taking a break in a teahouse outside a small town, a few chatting travelers overheard them discussing how to rationally use new powers to deal with unknown threats. The topic naturally centered on these seemingly ordinary young people.
"Have you heard of it? Those young people are said to have extraordinary abilities and can fight against evil forces that we can't even imagine." A middle-aged traveler lowered his voice, his eyes full of curiosity.
"How is it possible? Are you telling those fantasy stories again?" The young man next to him was dubious, but he couldn't hide his inner longing.
At this time, the teahouse proprietress came over with a gentle smile on her face: "Stories are not necessarily all fiction. Sometimes, heroes are hidden around us. I was lucky enough to meet them once. That kind of temperament is definitely extraordinary. Within reach.”
"Really? What are they like?" the curious young man asked, and the people around him also listened attentively.
“Each of them has their own unique skills, but what is even more admirable is their sense of responsibility and deep love for the town.” recalled the proprietress, “especially the leading lady, Eun Jing, her The eyes are like seeing through wind and rain, giving people an infinite sense of stability.”
"Wow, it sounds like a legendary knight!" A child's eyes flashed with yearning, imagining that he could become such a hero.
"Yes, but they are also ordinary people with their own fears and insecurities." The proprietress added, her words making this narrative more real. "What makes them extraordinary is that they choose to face it instead of escaping. This is more important than anything else." The magic is stronger."
At this point in the conversation, there was silence in the teahouse, and everyone was reminiscing about the greatness in the ordinary. At this moment, the five protagonists pushed in the door, and their appearance immediately caused a small commotion.
"Look, it's them!" the young man shouted loudly, and the eyes in the teahouse instantly focused on them.
Enjing looked around with a smile, feeling people's attention. She stepped forward and her voice was low but clear and powerful: "Hello everyone, we know there are many rumors about us, but please don't worry, everything we do is for protection. Our home, protect everyone. Now, we need to move forward and uncover more mysteries.”
Li Zixue walked up to Enjing and winked mischievously: "Don't forget, everyone can be a hero in their own lives, as long as we take that step bravely."
They left the teahouse after a brief farewell, their backs elongated in the morning light, looking particularly tall and firm. The crowd looked at the direction they were leaving, with not only awe but also self-expectation and courage in their hearts.
"One day, I can do something for this world." The child clenched his fists, with a determined light shining in his eyes.
"Yes, as long as there is light in the heart, everyone can illuminate the world." The gentle words of the proprietress seemed to be speaking to everyone, and they were also good wishes for the future.
"You're right, boss lady." A plainly dressed old man sighed. His eyes followed the backs of the five young people through the teahouse window. "In this world, light and darkness coexist, and in each of our hearts , everyone should have a light.”
"They are like the brightest stars in the night sky, guiding the direction." A young woman gently stroked the cheek of the baby in her arms, her eyes full of hope, "I hope my child can also become a responsible person." , brave people.”
"Yes, I also want to believe that everyone has the potential to become a hero." In the teahouse, people of different ages and identities gathered together because of this topic, sharing their own opinions and dreams.
Just as people were immersed in their vision of a better future, rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. A sweaty young man rushed into the teahouse and shouted breathlessly: "It's not good, the people on the east side of the town are going to die." The forest is on fire, and the fire is fierce and spreading towards the town.”
The teahouse suddenly became quiet, and everyone's expressions became solemn. The proprietress reacted quickly and asked loudly: "Is anyone injured? Has the fire brigade been notified?"
The young man shook his head and said anxiously: "The fire spread too fast and there was no time. Moreover, there seemed to be something weird at work in the fire. It was difficult to even get close."
Hearing this, the five people who were about to go on the road quickly exchanged glances, and Enjing immediately decided: "Let's go and see, maybe we can use our new power."
"Let's go together!" In the teahouse, several enthusiastic young people stood up and wanted to contribute.
"No, you stay here and protect everyone. This is our responsibility." Zhao Ming stopped them with a firm and calm tone.
The five people stepped out of the teahouse and quickly disappeared at the end of the street. Everyone in the teahouse organized voluntarily, prepared relief supplies, and took care of the elderly and children. Everyone contributed in their own way and waited for the heroes to return.
On the other side, at the edge of the forest, flames were raging, and five people stood not far away, frowning. Xu Mo observed the fire and analyzed in a low voice: "This fire is unusual. The source must be found, otherwise it will be difficult to put out."
"I'll try to control the direction of the wind and slow down the spread of the fire." Li Zixue clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and concentrated. A breeze gradually circled around her, then gradually strengthened, blowing towards the sea of fire, successfully giving the town a breather. opportunity.
Meanwhile, Eun-jeong and Lily go into the woods to try to find the cause of the fire. Among the charred trees, they found a strange black stone that exuded an ominous aura and was the source of the unusually violent fire.
"This is what's causing trouble!" Lily raised her weapon and was about to destroy it, but was stopped by Enjing: "Be careful, this may be related to the greater threat mentioned before."
Just as they were hesitating, Zhao Ming and Xu Mo also arrived, and the five of them formed a circle to discuss countermeasures together. Zhao Ming suggested: "Let's work together and use the newly acquired power to purify this stone. Maybe we can suppress its influence."
Everyone agreed, concentrated their thoughts, and gathered the new power to one point. A ray of light bloomed from their hands and shined on the black stone. The stone struggled and twisted in the light, eventually turning into ashes, and the fire miraculously began to weaken until it was completely extinguished.
People in the small town saw the fire gradually being brought under control from a distance, and their hearts were filled with indescribable emotion and hope. When the five people returned exhausted, they were greeted not only with thunderous applause, but also with gratitude and admiration pouring from the bottom of their hearts.
"You are really our heroes!" The teahouse proprietress excitedly held Eunjing's hand, her eyes moist.
Enjing smiled and replied softly: "No, we just did what we should do. The real hero is everyone who is willing to lend a helping hand in difficult times."
Night falls again, and the tranquility of the town is mixed with rejoicing and reflection on the aftermath of the disaster. The five of them took a nap in the hotel, recalling the events of the day, each with their own thoughts. Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the hotel door. Zhao Ming stood up and opened the door, only to see the old librarian standing at the door with a hurried expression.
"Sorry to bother you, but I just found clues about the black stone while sorting out some ancient documents." The administrator's voice was slightly urgent.
The five people immediately gathered around after hearing the words, and Enjing asked with concern: "What is it? How could it cause such a fire?"
The administrator took out a yellowed map from his arms and spread it on the table: "This map marks some ancient sealed places. I suspect that the stone was accidentally released from one of the seals. Each seal They are all imprisoned with powerful evil energy. If not dealt with in time, more disasters may occur.”
"Sealed places? It seems we have to find and re-seal them." Xu Mo quickly captured the key information and his eyes became serious.
"We are willing to help," the hotel owner walked out from behind the counter, his eyes firm, "The town is our common home and we cannot let it be threatened again."
"Not just you, we are all willing!" Several guests also responded. The young people in the teahouse have even begun to organize themselves to provide support for the adventurers who are about to set off.
The five people looked at each other, their hearts filled with gratitude. Lily clapped her hands and said loudly: "Okay, let's act together! However, we have to be more cautious this time. After all, every sealed place may have unpredictable dangers."
In the next few days, with the help of the town residents, they collected equipment and planned the route. At the same time, they determined the location of the first sealed place based on the clues provided by the administrator. On the eve of their departure, they held a brief marching ceremony in the town square. In the dim lights, although people's faces were worried, they also showed perseverance and hope.
"We don't know what is waiting for us ahead, but since we have chosen this path, we will never back down." Enjing stood in the center of the crowd, her words were like a warm current, warming everyone's hearts.
"Yes, we are the guardians of the town, and we rely on each other." Zhao Ming clenched his fists and spoke firmly.
"Let's go, friends, let's write a new legend of the town together!" Li Zixue proposed loudly, which attracted enthusiastic responses from the surrounding people.
In the early morning of the next day, when the first ray of sunshine shone on the stone road of the town, the five people and several small town residents who volunteered to join were ready to embark on an unknown and challenging journey. Their backs gradually moved away until they disappeared at the end of the winding mountain road, but the people in the town still stood there, following their footsteps with their eyes, and their hearts filled with longing and prayers for the future.
"They will definitely succeed, because we believe in heroes, and we believe in the unyielding light in everyone's heart." The proprietress murmured to herself, her words seemed to be speaking to everyone, and also seemed to promise this land. commitment.
"Yes, we are waiting for the triumph of the heroes." The old man caressed his grandson's head, his eyes shining with infinite expectations for the future.
The sun penetrated the sparse clouds and illuminated the rugged road leading to the sealed land. The five protagonists walked together with several volunteers from the town. Their team looked small and tenacious in the morning light. Enjing walked at the front, looking back from time to time to check everyone's status and make sure no one was left behind.
"This road is more difficult than I thought. Everyone, watch your steps." Zhao Ming reminded, his eyes sharp, alert to possible crises around him.
"Don't be afraid, we are here!" A young man from a small town said with a smile. His smile infected the people around him. Although the road ahead was unknown, the team's atmosphere became much more relaxed because of this optimism.
The trip was not uneventful. Just as they were passing through a dense forest, a sudden ground vibration broke the original tranquility. A huge earth dragon suddenly sprang out from the ground, opening its bloody mouth, and its eyes were burning with greed like torches.
"Everyone, be careful!" Xu Mo reacted quickly. With a flick of his finger, a piece of ice condensed and shot directly into the earth dragon's eyes, forcing it to temporarily retreat.
"Disperse, don't give it a chance to catch them all!" Enjing commanded calmly, and the five people quickly dispersed, each using their specialties. The volunteers in the town also tried their best to keep up with them, looking for a fighting position bravely despite being nervous.
"Li Zixue, wind!" Enjing shouted, and Li Zixue understood. As he waved his hands, a strong wind suddenly rose, causing the Earth Dragon's attack to deflect.
"I'll contain it while you find opportunities to attack its weak points!" Zhao Ming rushed forward before he could finish his words. The heavy sword in his hand shone coldly in the sun, and every swing was heavy and precise.
Lily circled behind the earth dragon, looking for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow. "Found it!" She found a fragile scale on the back of the earth dragon, and was about to take action when the earth dragon swung its tail and almost swept her away. At the critical moment, Xu Mo's ice wall firmly blocked the blow, buying Lily precious time.
The battle was fierce and stalemate, but the tacit understanding and cooperation between the five people made this seemingly impossible battle gradually tilt toward victory. Finally, with tacit cooperation, Lily's sword accurately penetrated the weak spot on Earth Dragon's back. With a thunderous roar, Earth Dragon fell to the ground.
After the battle, the team took a short break. Enjing walked to Zhao Ming and said softly: "Although each of us is strong, the real strength lies in our unity."
Zhao Ming nodded, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "The road ahead is still long. We not only have to face monsters, but also those unknown seals. But as long as we are together, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome."
As the sun set, the team continued to move forward. The forest gradually became sparse, and there was a barren plain in front of them. Ancient ruins were vaguely visible, which was the first sealing place. As night fell, a group of people set up camp near the entrance to the ruins. Everyone sat in a circle by the bonfire and discussed plans for tomorrow.
"The area around the seal must be full of traps and guardian beasts. We need to be particularly careful." Xu Mo analyzed, his words eliciting nods.
"No matter what, we will follow you." A small town volunteer said sincerely, with trust in his eyes.
"Thank you for your trust," Enjing said with a smile, "Tomorrow, we will uncover the veil of history together and fight for the peace of the town."
The conversation gradually became sparse, and everyone fell into their own thoughts. As the night progressed, the sounds of unknown creatures occasionally came from around the camp, but these sounds seemed unable to break their inner determination and peace.
Just as the quiet night was about to pass, Lily whispered to Eunjing: "Sometimes I can't believe that we actually shoulder such a big mission."
Enjing smiled slightly and held Lily's hand: "Yes, but isn't this the meaning of our existence? To protect and to explore the unknown."
Their words floated gently amidst the crackle of the campfire, adding a bit of warmth and strength to the upcoming adventure.
In the early morning of the next day, the first ray of sunlight illuminated the earth again. Everyone packed up and prepared to step into the sealed place full of unknowns and dangers. At the moment when the team was about to set off, a volunteer stood up and said to everyone: "No matter what challenges lie ahead, we will be together until the end."
After the words fell, everyone looked at each other and smiled, and a power called "faith" flowed between them.
Just as the group was about to step into the sealed land, a burst of rapid footsteps interrupted their contemplation. Zhao Ming turned around quickly and saw a young man in ragged clothes and pale face stumbling over. It was Liu Yunshan. His eyes were full of fear and his breath was disordered.
"Quickly! There are...someone following me. They are..." Before he could finish his words, a poisonous arrow shot through the air. Liu Yunshan instinctively dodged. The arrow passed by and nailed him. On the tree trunk behind him.
"Hidden!" Enjing shouted, and everyone immediately dispersed, looking for cover. The air was filled with tension and alertness. Li Zixue waved her hands, and a strong wind blew by, blurring their traces.
"Who are you?" Xu Mo asked sternly, his eyes fixed on a group of men in black slowly walking out of the shadows of the woods.
The leader of the other party snorted coldly, with a sarcastic smile on his lips: "We? We are just small characters who want to use the power of the seal. But now it seems that you are the stumbling block that hinders our plan."
"The power of sealing?" Lily frowned, and the alarm bell rang in her heart, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"It's very simple. Unlock all the seals, release the imprisoned evil energy, and gain enough power to subvert the world." The man's words revealed greed and madness that could not be concealed.
"Wishful thinking!" Zhao Ming yelled angrily, holding the heavy sword across his chest with a cold light flashing.
"In the face of power, the boundaries between justice and evil are so fragile. However, we don't mind sharing a little benefit with you." The man in black slowly opened his palm, and a gem with a strange light jumped in his hand, " This 'heart stone' can allow you to experience unprecedented power. How about joining us? ”
Enjing stared at the gem and said solemnly: "We will not be swayed by mere temptations, let alone become accomplices to help others commit evil."
"Then don't blame us for being rude!" The man in black waved his hand, and the shadows around him seemed to come alive, transforming into dark creatures and attacking everyone.
The battle was about to break out, and the five people worked closely with the town volunteers back to back. Lily's sword blade drew silver tracks in the air, Zhao Ming's heavy sword brought up waves of air every time he swung it, Xu Mo's ice wall and ice cone built a solid defense line, and Li Zixue's field of wind It makes the enemy difficult to move, while Enjing shuttles flexibly, and her attacks can always hit the enemy's vital points accurately.
"It seems that we underestimated you." The leader of the men in black narrowed his eyes, seeming to weigh the situation.
At this moment, Liu Yunshan struggled to get up, with a complex expression on his face: "I'm sorry... I was the one who led the wolf into the house. But they took my family as hostages, and I had no choice..."
"I see." Enjing sighed, a flash of pity in her eyes, "We will help you rescue your family, but first, we have to deal with these enemies."
The battle entered a fever pitch, and suddenly, the sky in the distance lit up with a dazzling light, and then, a huge wave of energy shocked everyone.
"The sealed land... is about to be opened!" Xu Mo exclaimed.
"Our opportunity has come!" A hint of cunning flashed in the eyes of the leader of the men in black, and he was about to lead his men to break through the chaos.
"Want to escape? It's not that easy!" Zhao Ming roared, splitting several dark creatures with one sword, and rushed towards the man in black.
"Wait, Zhao Ming!" Enjing suddenly shouted. She noticed a subtle change on the ground. It seemed that a hidden road was slowly unfolding.
"This is... a shortcut directly to the Sealed Land!" Lily discovered in surprise.
"That's good, let's go straight in and stop their conspiracy!" Li Zixue said, taking the lead and running forward along the hidden path.
Everyone followed closely behind, leaving the people in black with stunned expressions. After passing through the narrow and winding passage, their eyes suddenly opened up and they came to the core of the Sealed Land - an ancient and solemn altar. On the central stone platform, a bright gemstone was emitting a gentle and powerful light.
"The core of the seal... we must protect it." Enjing said firmly.
At this time, the leader of the men in black arrived with the remaining forces. The two sides faced off again, and the tension in the air almost solidified.
"It seems that we can only use the most direct method." The leader of the man in black sneered, reaching out to touch the core gem.
"Stop!" Liu Yunshan appeared behind him at some point, holding a dagger snatched from the man in black, and stabbed him with all his strength. Although the blow was not fatal, it was enough to interrupt his movements.
"You..." The leader of the man in black turned his head and looked at the person who betrayed him in disbelief.
"I will save my family myself!" Determination flashed in Liu Yunshan's eyes. At this moment, he was no longer the young man driven by fear. (End of chapter)
