"Yes, if they can win, the era of darkness may really be over." The old man next to him said with a hint of trembling in his voice, but it was more of expectation.
While everyone was talking, the shadow king's dragon spread its wings, covering the sky and the sun, and the air was filled with a depressing atmosphere. But at this moment, Su Mo raised the glorious guide in his hand, and a pure and powerful light shot out from it, dispelling the darkness around him and illuminating the hope in the hearts of everyone present.
"Everyone says that light and darkness are incompatible, but I believe that no matter how deep the darkness is, there is always light that can penetrate it." Although Su Mo's voice was soft, it had the power to shock the soul. His body seemed to be integrated with the light. , turned into the sharp sword at the forefront of light.
The King of Shadows sneered, waved the dark scepter, and countless shadow arrows shot out of the air, whizzing towards the light messengers. But Su Mo and his companions had already connected with each other. They were as agile as a dance, avoiding every arrow and launching counterattacks at the same time. Each blow was precise and fatal, defeating the power of darkness one by one.
"Look, they can actually fight back under such an offensive!" Passers-by exclaimed. This unimaginable combat power shocked and inspired them.
The battle continues to escalate, and the collision of light and darkness inspires the most primitive power between heaven and earth. Just when the two sides were evenly matched and it was difficult to tell the winner, an unprecedented wave of energy erupted from the team of Light Messengers. It was the awakening of the power hidden in Su Mo's body.
"Teacher of Light...I finally understand your teachings." Su Mo's voice echoed through the sky, and his whole body was bathed in a dazzling light. The light seemed to be able to purify all evil, and the shadow of the giant dragon was gradually dissipating. .
"This... what kind of power is this!" The Shadow King's pupils shrank suddenly, and he felt an unprecedented threat.
"It's the resonance of light, the belief shared by everyone who has light in their hearts!" Li Zixue replied loudly, her sword light shining brighter under Su Mo's light, and every slash was accompanied by a roar of justice.
"We...we protect the light together!" Zhao Ming and everyone in the team were inspired by this power. Their attacks became more rapid and effective, and the dark forces retreated steadily in the face of the light.
Just when the light was about to completely overwhelm the darkness, the cracks in the sky suddenly widened, and an unknown force intervened, bringing the battle to an abrupt end. The King of Shadows took the opportunity to retreat, leaving behind a sentence: "This game has just begun, bringers of light, our duel is far from over."
The light gradually faded, and Su Mo and his team landed steadily, surrounded by shocked passers-by and villagers. In addition to awe, their eyes were filled with unprecedented hope.
"They...they really did it!" A young man was so excited that he almost cried.
"Yes, the light never leaves, it always blooms in the darkest moments." Su Mo said to everyone with a smile, his eyes looking into the distance, where there is a wider world waiting for them to explore.
Night fell again, and the Lightbringers sat around the campfire, exchanging their experiences and insights during the battle. And in that distant sky, a star was exceptionally bright, as if indicating that a new journey was coming.
"Su Mo, the power you had just now... was simply incredible." Li Zixue stared at the bonfire, curiosity and excitement flashing in her eyes, "Is that the resonance of light? I felt like the whole world was breathing with us at that moment."
Su Mo smiled, warmly and implicitly, "Yes, resonance is not only the superposition of power, but also the intersection of hearts. When our hearts are closely connected, the light transcends individuals and becomes a link that connects all light messengers. Bond.”
"Then what should we do now? The King of Shadows has escaped, and he will definitely attack again." Zhao Ming frowned and looked at the night sky worriedly.
"He is right, this game has just begun." Su Mo's eyes were firm, "But haven't we also found new strength? Now, we need to find more people with bright hearts to strengthen our strength. Prepare for the upcoming decisive battle.”
Passers-by gathered around the bonfire, their eyes full of awe and longing, and they whispered.
"It turns out that there is such a powerful force of light in the world." A young farmer said with emotion.
"Yes, I used to only listen to the stories told by the old people, but now I see it with my own eyes. It's really shocking." The girl next to me echoed.
At this time, an old wise man slowly stood up and gave a solemn salute to the light messengers, "Warriors, although your journey is difficult and dangerous, please remember that there are many people among the people who have bright hearts but nowhere to release them. Guide them and unite them, this will be an important force to defeat the darkness."
When Su Mo and others heard this, they looked at each other and smiled, becoming more determined on the way forward. They know that real victory depends not only on force, but also on the cohesion of people's hearts.
As the night progressed, silence returned to the surrounding camp, with only the crackling of the campfire and the occasional howling of wild beasts in the distance. Su Mo looked up at the starry sky and saw a shooting star streaking across the sky. He silently made a wish.
"Where are we going next?" Zhao Ming asked, breaking the silence around him.
Su Mo looked away, a mysterious smile appeared on his face, "Go and find the lost holy artifacts of light. It is said that they are scattered throughout the continent. By gathering the power of the holy artifacts, we will have stronger capital to challenge the King of Shadows."
"Holy weapon?" Li Zixue's eyes flashed, "That is a legendary treasure. Can it be found?"
"As long as we believe in the light and ourselves, nothing is impossible." Su Mo said firmly, "Moreover, according to ancient books, every sacred artifact will choose its own owner. Maybe they are waiting for us."
While the three were discussing, a rush of footsteps interrupted their conversation. A little boy ran over panting, holding a letter in his hand, looking nervous and excited.
"Light... Light Messengers, someone has given you a letter!" The boy handed the letter to Su Mo, his face filled with anticipation.
Su Mo opened the envelope, and lines of writing came into view, and his face gradually became solemn.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Li Zixue and Zhao Ming came forward and asked with concern.
Su Mo raised his head, a complex light flashing in his eyes, "It is the guidance of the Master of Light. He told us that the first holy weapon is hidden deep in the forgotten shadow forest. It is full of dangers, but it is also the starting point of our journey."
"Shadow Forest?" Zhao Ming frowned, "That is a notoriously dangerous place."
"Yes, but this is the beginning of the trial." Su Mo stood up and looked at the expectant faces around the camp. "We shoulder a bright mission. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we cannot back down."

The night wind blew by, and the messengers of light under the stars seemed to be given new life. Their eyes were firmer, and their hearts were full of longing and determination for the future.
"Then, get ready to go, friends." Su Mo's words were full of encouragement, "Let us tell the world with actions that light will never be absent, whether in the deepest darkness or in every moment of looking forward to light. ”
In the afterglow of the bonfire, the Light Messengers packed their bags and said goodbye to the villagers. From the crowd, there were bursts of blessings and cheers. This strength became the most solid backing on their journey.
"Be sure to come back safely, messengers of light!" The young farmer's voice was trembling, and his eyes were full of admiration and reluctance for the hero.
"We will do it, for the sake of the light, and for the sake of all those who trust us." Li Zixue responded gently, patting the farmer's shoulder gently. The tenderness was like the warm sunshine of spring, which made people feel reassured.
As the team gradually moved away from the bonfire and entered the vast night, the surrounding woods looked particularly dark. Under the moonlight, Zhao Ming turned his head and looked back. The villagers were waving the torches in their hands. The weak light converged into a sea, until it finally turned into a point in the distance.
"Look, even in the darkest night, the seeds of light will sprout." Su Mo said softly, with indescribable emotion in his tone.
"Yes, this is probably the meaning of our fight." Li Zixue sighed, her eyes shining with the light of undying faith.
Through the winding path, the three people's steps became more determined. On the way, they encountered a caravan traveling cautiously on the edge of the jungle.
"Where are you going?" An old man in the caravan couldn't help but asked curiously when he saw Su Mo and others fully armed.
"Shadow Forest." Su Mo replied briefly, but his eyes did not leave the unknown road ahead.
"Shadow Forest? Young man, don't joke with your life. It's not a good place there." The old man shook his head, and the wrinkles on his face told of the vicissitudes of life.
"We have a mission that must be completed." Zhao Ming answered with his chest raised, and there was unquestionable determination in his voice.
People in the caravan all looked at them with surprise or admiration. One of the young businessmen murmured: "If even the light messenger dares to step into that forbidden place, maybe a miracle will happen."
These words drifted away with the mountain wind, but they also gave Su Mo and the others greater motivation invisibly. They know that this trip is not only a search for the holy artifact, but also a journey to show the world the power of light.
Finally, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the thick canopy and shone on the entrance of the ancient forest, they arrived at the edge of the Shadow Forest. Here, even the air seems to be solid, oppressive and dull.
"Are you ready?" Su Mo turned around and looked at his partner, as if he was saying to himself.
"I have been prepared for a long time. I will go through fire and water for the sake of the light." Zhao Ming clenched the hilt of the sword tightly, with fighting spirit burning in his eyes.
Li Zixue smiled slightly, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and meditated silently, surrounded by a faint light, as if she was in silent communication with nature. "Spirit of nature, please guide us forward."
Just when they were about to step into the forest, a melodious song suddenly sounded in the forest, like the sound of nature, but with a bit of mystery and temptation. The three of them stopped involuntarily and exchanged surprised looks with each other.
"What is that sound?" Zhao Ming asked in a low voice, his hand unconsciously pressing the hilt of the sword.
Su Mo shook his head, "I don't know, but no matter what it is, we must stay vigilant. The Shadow Forest will never let anyone go deep into its hinterland easily."
The singing gradually got closer, and finally turned into a woman wearing a green gauze not far from them. Her eyes were like emeralds, flowing with a brilliance that did not belong to this world.
"Welcome to the Shadow Forest, Lightbringers. I am the guardian here, the singer in the forest." Her voice was as clear as a stream, and it carried a majesty that could not be ignored.
"Guardian?" Li Zixue was puzzled but polite, "We are here to find the lost holy weapon of light. We hope you can help."
The singer in the forest smiled slightly, "Holy Artifact? It is indeed the power of light. But in this forest, everything comes at a price. If you want to be recognized by the Holy Artifact, you must pass my test."
"Test?" Zhao Ming frowned, obviously not satisfied with this sudden change.
Su Mo took a step forward and looked firmly at the singer in the forest, "We are willing to accept the test. For the sake of the light, we are fearless."
The singer tapped his chin, seeming quite satisfied with Su Mo's answer, "Very good, then please follow my singing, go through the heart of the shadow forest, and find the forgotten source of light. Remember, only the soul is pure. And only those with a strong will can touch that long-lost glory.”
As her song sounded again, the forest scene began to change unpredictably, with light and shadow interlacing to create stunning pictures.
"What...what's going on?" Zhao Ming was amazed. The scene around him made him feel both surprised and uneasy.
Li Zixue stretched out her hand to touch the light and shadow flowing in the air, with a dreamy look on her face, "It's so beautiful, it's like walking into another world."
"Behind beauty there are often unknown dangers." The singer in the forest reminded her, her eyes showing both kindness and testing severity, "Follow my melody, let your heart guide your direction, and don't get lost."
The three of them followed the singing of the forest singer deep into the forest, stepping into strange and unknown territory with every step. Along the way, they encountered various fantastic creatures, some beautiful and some extremely ferocious. Whenever a crisis approaches, the songs of the forest singers act as a shield, guiding them through safely.
"Look over there!" Li Zixue pointed to a huge glowing tree in the distance. Under the tree were many strange little animals gathered, and they seemed to be performing some kind of ceremony.
"This is the Fountain of Light, the core of the forest." The singer's voice floated from the front, with a hint of holiness, "Here, where light and darkness intertwine, it is the best place to test the purity of your souls." Just as the three of them were As they approached the Fountain of Light, the surroundings suddenly darkened, and an invisible pressure enveloped them. In the shadows, a deep voice sounded: "Bringer of Light, your journey will be in vain." (End of Chapter)
