"Servant of the Shadow, your appearance is not unexpected." Su Mo responded calmly, with a burning gaze, "No matter how the darkness spreads, the light will eventually illuminate every corner."
"What a shame! Let's see if the light can maintain its pride when it faces the deepest fear." The shadow gradually materialized, forming a tall black shadow, full of ridicule and provocation.
"Fear? We have already learned to coexist with it and draw strength from it." Zhao Ming stood firm with his sword straight out.
At this time, the onlookers began to whisper, their eyes wandering between surprise and awe.
"Look, those are the legendary Lightbringers, they actually dare to face the Servants of Shadow!" A deft fox said to his companions.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that the power of light can really bring courage to people." The little deer on the side nodded slightly, with hope shining in his eyes.
Under the witness of all living creatures, Su Mo, Li Zixue and Zhao Ming started a battle of will and power with the servant of shadow. Every confrontation not only tests their martial arts, but also tests whether the light in their hearts is strong enough.
Just as the battle was heating up, a dazzling light suddenly emerged from the fountain of light, forcing the servants of shadow back. The light seemed to contain ancient power. It was the holy weapon of light they had been looking for that responded to the call.
"This...is this the Holy Artifact of Light?" Zhao Ming's eyes widened and he watched in disbelief as the object emitting soft light slowly rose up. It was neither a sword nor a scepter, but an inlaid The badge of brilliant gems exudes warm and firm energy.
"It has chosen you." The voice of the singer in the forest sounded with approval, "The holy weapon of light will always belong to those who have the brightest hearts."
The badge gently fell on Su Mo's palm, as if it had some strange resonance with him. At that moment, he felt an unprecedented power, a great sense of mission that connected the past and the future, and connected all the messengers of light.
"We succeeded!" Li Zixue cheered, and Zhao Ming couldn't hide his excitement. The three of them hugged each other tightly, and everything around them seemed to be cheering for their victory.
Just as they were immersed in the joy of victory, a gust of wind carried a mysterious message: "Lightbringers, this is just the beginning, more difficult challenges are still waiting for you ahead. Are you ready? The real battle is about to begin. …”
The words dissipated in the wind, leaving behind not only suspense, but also infinite expectations for the future. Su Mo raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and he already had the answer in his heart: "No matter what the road ahead is, as long as there is light in our hearts, we have nothing to fear."
Under the watch of everyone, the three messengers of light took the holy weapon and continued on their journey. Their figures gradually merged into the brilliance of the morning light, leaving behind a string of firm and hopeful footprints.
"Look, they are true warriors. Even the servants of shadow were defeated by them!" A bird with colorful wings said excitedly to its companions on the branch, its feathers trembling slightly with excitement.
"Yes, the light has never been so close to us." An old badger walked out slowly, with a rare brilliance in his eyes. He whispered to the younger generation around him, "According to legend, when the light messenger appears with the holy weapon, it is A sign of the decline of the dark forces."
Hearing the words, the surrounding creatures whispered to each other, and the discussions continued one after another, full of admiration for the Lightbringer and curiosity about the future.
Just as the atmosphere was getting heated, the voice of the singer in the forest sounded again, like a breeze blowing through the soul: "Brothers of light, remember the glory and responsibility at this moment. Although the power of the holy weapon is strong, the real power comes from your hearts. Bright. The road ahead will be more difficult and difficult than in the past.”
Su Mo raised the badge in his hand, let it shine in the sun, and said firmly: "Singer, we will remember your teachings in our hearts. This light is not only for ourselves, but also for all creatures who long for light."< br>
Li Zixue caressed the badge gently, her gentle eyes showing determination: "We will become the light that penetrates the darkness. No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, we will not stop."
Zhao Ming clenched his sword and vowed loudly: "We are messengers of light, and we will never retreat in the face of darkness. As long as our faith remains, light will eventually spread throughout every inch of the land."
At this time, an old man who had never appeared before slowly approached. His face was weathered, but his eyes were bright, as if he could see everything in the world: "I heard about your deeds and came from a distant village. I am the guardian of history. , know many secrets that have been sealed by time, the light messengers, what you have undertaken is far more than a simple battle."
The three people's eyes were all focused on this mysterious old man, and their hearts were full of curiosity and expectation.
"The ancient prophecy mentioned that the return of the Holy Artifact of Light will trigger a catastrophe and rebirth." The old man's tone was serious, but there was an imperceptible hope in his eyes. "What you are embarking on is a road to redemption. It is also a journey of self-transcendence. Ahead, there are ancient powers waiting to be awakened, and hidden conspiracies are gradually coming to light.”
"Ancient power?" Li Zixue couldn't help asking, with a searching light shining in her eyes.
"Yes, the opposition between light and darkness is not a matter of day. There is a more complex balance between the two." The old man continued to explain, and the creatures around him became quiet and listened with bated breath. "For a long time, there has been a force. Darkness guards the balance of the world. It neither belongs to light nor entirely to darkness, but is a mixture of both."
Su Mo took a deep breath and looked resolutely: "We understand that in order to protect all this, we must become stronger and uncover all the mysteries."
Zhao Ming held the hands of Li Zixue and Su Mo tightly, and the three of them stood in a row, facing the rising sun, and vowed to echo in the forest: "Whether it is an ancient power or an unknown conspiracy, we will face it one by one until Light shines in every corner.”
The old man nodded with satisfaction, took out an old map from his arms, and handed it to Su Mo: "This is the help I can provide. There are some key places marked on the map, which are closely related to your journey. I hope you can Find more clues on the journey and unlock the chains of fate.”
Su Mo took the map and looked at it carefully, feeling an inexplicable sense of mission in his heart: "Thank you for your guidance, we will definitely live up to it."
"Then, let's set off now, light bringers." A trace of reluctance flashed in the old man's eyes, but more of an expectation for the future. "Remember, the world is bigger than you imagine. Every life is It may be the key to your journey.”
As the old man finished speaking, the surrounding creatures spontaneously moved out of the way, seeming to express their respect and support for the Lightbringer in this way. An old wolf slowly walked up to them, lowered his head as if to salute, and then spoke, his voice vicissitudes of life but full of wisdom: "Since I was young, I have never seen the Lightbringer appear again. Your arrival has given this land a new life. Hope. Please be careful, there are more terrifying beings in the depths of darkness.”
"We will, wise man." Su Mo responded with a sincere smile, but secretly remembered the old wolf's words in his heart, becoming increasingly alert to unknown challenges.
The three of them embarked on the journey again, and every step seemed heavier than the previous one, because they understood that from this moment on, they were burdened not only with their own destiny, but also with the expectations of the entire world.
Passing through a dense forest, they came to an ancient ruins. According to the map, this was once the battlefield of the ancient War of Light and Darkness. They may be able to discover more secrets about the sacred artifacts. While they were exploring cautiously, a low and ethereal voice came from the depths of the ruins: "Welcome to the shadows of the past, Lightbringer."
"Who is it?" Zhao Ming clenched his sword warily and looked around, but there was no one in sight.
"I am the memory of this ruins, carrying the echoes of countless battles." The voice gradually became clearer, as if traveling through time and space, "The answers you are looking for are hidden under these ruins, but there are also endless experiments hidden. Refining.”
Li Zixue whispered: "Spirit of memory, can you tell us more?"
"Yes, but you need to experience that forgotten history by yourselves." As the words fell, a stone tablet slowly rose from the center of the ruins, with vague patterns and runes engraved on it, which seemed to tell a long-standing story.
The three of them surrounded the stone tablet and studied it carefully. Suddenly, a ray of light burst out from the center of the stone tablet and surrounded them. When the light dissipated, they found themselves at the scene of a battle between light and darkness. Surrounded by the fierce battle of light and shadow, there were fierce battles between light knights and shadow beasts, as well as spell duels between light mages and dark wizards. It was extremely shocking.
"This... this is a true reenactment of history!" Zhao Ming was amazed.
"We are not just bystanders." Su Mo said solemnly. He noticed that some of the defeated lights and shadows looked at them for help, as if asking them to change history.
Just as they were trying to intervene and help a knight of light who was about to fall, a gentle female voice sounded in their ears: "Remember, history cannot be tampered with, but you can learn the key to victory from it. Observe carefully and experience the light and The truth of darkness ”
That was the teaching of the Singer of the Wood, and even here, her voice could still guide them. The three people shuttled through this historical torrent and witnessed countless collisions of light and darkness. Gradually, they seemed to understand something, and the power of light in their hearts seemed to be purer and stronger as a result.
When they returned to reality, the ruins were still there, but their eyes were full of perseverance and determination. "We understand that light does not only mean fighting against darkness, but also understanding, tolerating and transforming it." Su Mo said solemnly.
"That's right, the real light is to light up in the heart. While illuminating oneself, it should also illuminate others." Li Zixue agreed.
"So, where to go next?" Zhao Ming asked, looking into the distance.
"According to the map, we should go to the Frozen Valley in the north, where ancient relics that can balance light and darkness are said to be hidden." Su Mo unfolded the map and pointed to a mark.
"The Frozen Valley is a legendary forbidden land. It is said that only one out of ten people can enter it." Li Zixue was a little worried.
"Because of this, there may be the key to finding the key." Su Mo smiled, and that smile contained fearlessness and confidence in the future.
Just when they were about to set off again, a fox who had talked to them appeared quietly and handed them a small package, with eyes full of trust and admiration: "This is a small contribution we can make for you. It contains Potions and food to ward off the cold, and may the light of light illuminate your path.”
"Thank you, little one." Zhao Ming touched the fox's head gratefully, and the latter waggled its tail happily and disappeared into the jungle.
The three of them looked at each other, took a deep breath, and set foot on the road to the Frozen Valley. Their backs, stretched against the setting sun, looked both small and great, full of unknown possibilities.
"No matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as there is light in your heart, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome." Li Zixue's voice sounded softly, as if she was saying to herself and her partners.
"Yes, we are the messengers of light. Darkness can never stop the progress of light." Su Mo and Zhao Ming responded at the same time. The three of them walked more firmly towards the unknown north and towards the hopeful tomorrow.
"It seems that our journey is more thrilling than imagined." Zhao Ming joked, but he couldn't hide his excitement.
"Yes, every challenge is a test for us and an opportunity for growth." Li Zixue responded with a smile, looking firmly ahead.
Along the way, they met various creatures, some avoided them in awe, while others boldly approached them, hoping to witness the Lightbringer with their own eyes.
"Look, it's them! Those legendary messengers of light!" A pair of rabbits discussed quietly, their eyes full of surprise.
"I really hope to be like them and bring light to this world." Another rabbit sighed, with longing shining in his eyes.
In a small town they passed by, the townspeople were talking a lot. An old man walked up to them tremblingly on crutches and said in a trembling voice: "When I was young, I also dreamed of becoming a hero and fighting against Darkness. Now, seeing you, I feel that the light is really back.”
Su Mo bent down and saluted the old man: "Everyone has a light in their heart. You are also the hero on our journey. Thank you for your encouragement."
After bidding farewell to the town, they finally arrived at the edge of the Frozen Valley. The cold wind was biting and the snow was as sharp as a knife. The sight in front of them was scary, but it didn't make the three of them flinch even a step.
"This is the Frozen Valley. It feels like even the air is frozen." Zhao Ming exhaled a white breath and tightened his tight clothes.
"Remember the potion the fox gave us, it will come in handy now." Li Zixue reminded, the three of them took the anti-cold potion and then stepped into the boundless cold. There were dangers everywhere in the frozen valley, but they relied on wisdom and courage to resolve them one by one. In an unexpected avalanche, they rescued a group of trapped penguins. The penguins expressed their gratitude in their unique language. One of the penguin leaders pointed to an ice peak in the distance with his beak: "Gu Gu Lu Lu (there) , secret...)"
