"It seems that you do have some abilities. However, the game has just begun." There was a subtle fluctuation in the evil beast's voice for the first time, as if it was the first recognition of the three people's strength.
The battle continued, with both sides evenly matched. The clouds in the sky rolled due to the collision of energy, and the earth trembled. During the fierce battle, a clear child's laughter sounded at an inappropriate time, attracting everyone's attention.
"Dad, Mom, look, they are butterflies of light!" The little boy pointed excitedly at the strange scene that suddenly appeared in the sky. Those butterflies condensed from pure light danced around the evil beast. Although they were tiny, they were little by little. The dark aura that corrodes the evil beast.
"This is..." Su Mo was surprised to find that these butterflies of light came from a little girl she had cured in a remote village before. Her pure gratitude gathered into incredible power.
"Light does not matter big or small, as long as you have faith, it can bloom." Li Zixue sighed softly, feeling the hope and courage filling the air around her.
"We are not fighting alone, the light in everyone's heart is cheering for us." Zhao Ming's words inspired everyone, including the evil beast that once seemed invincible, and its body no longer seemed so huge. fear.
Just when the evil beast's momentum began to waver, Zhao Ming, Su Mo, and Li Zixue seized the opportunity, gathered all their strength, and struck with one blow. The bright power condensed into a bright beam of light and penetrated the heart of the evil beast. The evil beast wailed, and its huge body gradually disappeared into the air, leaving only a warm light and new hope.
The battle was over, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled. It was the most sincere smile after going through the test of life and death.
"It seems that we did it." Zhao Ming put away his thunder sword and looked at the city that had regained its calm.
"Not only that, we also witnessed a miracle." Su Mo sighed, those butterflies of light were still flying in the air, bringing warmth to every corner.
"Yes, light always finds its way." Li Zixue smiled, and her staff was surrounded by several butterflies of light that were unwilling to leave, as if they were new friends.
"Now, let us go back and tell everyone that no matter how powerful the darkness is, light and hope will never be absent." Zhao Ming suggested. He turned and looked into the distance, where there were people waiting for their triumph, and there were more unknown journeys waiting. .
"Start again towards the light." Su Mo and Li Zixue responded in unison. They joined hands and embarked on their return journey. Behind them was the city that was gradually returning to life, and in front of them was an infinite future.
"I hope the stories and hopes collected along the way can become lights in more people's hearts." Li Zixue said as she walked, her eyes gently scanning every smiling face rebuilding their home, and those eyes twinkling because of the rekindled light. Make the belief in her heart stronger.
Zhao Ming stopped and looked back at the city that was gradually moving away. Under the setting sun, it seemed to be covered with a layer of golden armor, and it no longer had the haze as before. "Maybe our journey is not just to eliminate the darkness, but more importantly, to spread the light." His words seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be a reminder to his companions.
Su Mo chuckled, with a hint of relief and expectation in her smile. "Indeed, after every battle, what is left should not only be scars, but also expectations for tomorrow. I think this is the true mission of the Lightbringer."
The three of them continued walking, and soon they entered a mysterious forest. The light here is soft and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, which is in sharp contrast with the battlefield they just left. It seems to be a resting place specially prepared for them by nature.
"Look over there, there is a small village." Li Zixue pointed not far away, and the smoke curled up, revealing a peaceful and peaceful scene.
"Let's go there and rest for a night, and see if there's anything we can do to help." Zhao Ming suggested, as he could never ignore any place that needed light.
The residents of the village were surprised and happy to see the three light messengers, and they gathered around them one after another. The village chief was a kind old man. He held Zhao Ming's hand tightly and his gratitude was beyond words. "Dear envoys, thank the light for guiding you here. Although we have not suffered a disaster, we have been lacking pure water for a long time and hope to get your help."
Zhao Ming and the other three exchanged glances, then nodded in agreement. For them, whether it is fighting against evil beasts or solving the plight of villagers, it is the responsibility of the Lightbringer.
As night fell, the three of them gathered around the bonfire to discuss solutions with the villagers. Li Zixue proposed the idea of using her elemental magic to purify water sources, while Su Mo planned to find hidden underground springs by sensing the veins of the earth.
"What about me?" Zhao Ming asked jokingly, but his eyes were full of seriousness.
"You are responsible for ensuring our safety. After all, there are always uninvited guests in the forest." Su Mo replied with a smile, while handing him a piece of golden roasted game.
"It's my pleasure. The Shield of Light is always on standby." Zhao Ming smiled heartily and took the food.
The next morning, as Li Zixue waved her staff, a clear stream of water gushes out from the newly discovered spring. The villagers cheered and gathered around to taste the long-lost sweetness.
"Thank you, light messengers! You not only brought hope, but also truly changed our lives." The village chief said excitedly, his eyes moist, obviously touched by this sudden happiness.
"Remember, real light comes from everyone's inner persistence and hard work." Zhao Ming patted the shoulder of a little boy next to him and encouraged, "Continue to protect this land and make it full of light and love."
"We will, Brother Lightbringer!" the little boy replied resoundingly, and everyone present smiled, a smile full of confidence in the future.
Amid the reluctant farewells of the villagers, Zhao Ming, Su Mo and Li Zixue embarked on the journey again. Their figures gradually faded away, blending into the hopeful morning light.
"Where are we going next?" Li Zixue asked, her voice full of curiosity about the unknown and desire for adventure.
Zhao Ming smiled slightly and looked up at the distant horizon. "Wherever there is need, we will go. After all, light is a journey with no end."
Su Mo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, his staff flashing in the sunlight. "Yes, as long as there is light in our hearts, our story will never end."
"Well said, then let our light illuminate every corner." Li Zixue agreed, with firmness and tenderness shining in her eyes.
Just as the three of them were preparing to set off, a plainly dressed old man walked out of the crowd, holding an old staff tightly in his hand. His face was engraved with traces of time, but his eyes were extremely bright, as if there were countless untelling stories hidden there. "Lightbringers, please stay. I am the historical guardian of the village. There is an ancient prophecy. I think it is closely related to your journey."
When the three of them heard this, they stopped involuntarily, gathered around the old man, and listened quietly.
"A long time ago, when the world was still in the beginning of chaos, there were three legendary holy weapons, which symbolized wisdom, courage and compassion respectively. They were endowed with great power to maintain the balance of the world. However, as the times changed, With the changes, the sacred artifact gradually disappeared from people's memories, leaving only vague clues and unfinished missions." The old man spoke slowly, with both nostalgia and expectation in his tone.
"Do you think we can find these sacred artifacts?" Su Mo asked curiously. She was always full of desire to explore all mysterious things.
"Fate has led you here, perhaps for this reason." The old man smiled and took out a yellowed map from his lapel. "This map marks the locations where the sacred artifact may exist, but every place is full of hidden dangers. Unknown and dangerous. Only those with a bright mind and determination can reveal their true colors."
Zhao Ming took the map and looked at it carefully. "We are willing to accept challenges. For the sake of world peace, there is nothing we cannot overcome."
"The journey will not be lonely." Li Zixue added, she touched the edge of the map lightly, as if in dialogue with ancient history, "Behind every light, there are countless hearts resonating."
"May the light guide you, and please remember that the real power does not only come from the sacred artifacts, but also from your beliefs and mutual trust." The old man said sincerely, and then slowly retreated into the crowd.
With a burst of warm applause, the villagers saw them off, full of blessings and expectations. Zhao Ming, Su Mo, and Li Zixue embarked on the journey again. This time, their goals were clearer and the burdens on their shoulders became heavier.
After passing through the winding mountain forest, the first stop is the secret realm called "Shadow Forest". This place is shrouded in thick fog all year round. According to legend, the first holy artifact, the Book of Wisdom, is hidden here. They carefully shuttled between the intricate trees, relying on each other, and jointly faced various dangers in the forest.
"Be careful, there is a strange energy fluctuation here." Su Mo reminded alertly, her fingertips gently touching the surrounding plants, trying to sense the surrounding environment.
"It's a trap. Let's act separately and try to reduce the number of targets." Zhao Ming made a quick decision, and the lightning sword flashed in his hands, clearing a path for the team.
Just as they were making progress and exploring deeply, a distant bell suddenly rang, echoing throughout the forest, which seemed to be some kind of response to their arrival. With the sound of the bell, the fog in the forest gradually dissipated, revealing an ancient ruin hidden in the depths.
In the center of the ruins, an ancient book emitting a faint blue light was quietly suspended in the air, surrounded by circles of complex and mysterious runes, as if it were a protective barrier.
"That's it, the Book of Wisdom." Li Zixue said softly, the brilliance of the holy instrument reflected in her eyes.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple to obtain the holy weapon." Zhao Ming observed the surrounding environment and already had a preliminary strategy in mind.
The three of them looked at each other without saying much. Years of tacit understanding allowed them to act almost simultaneously. Li Zixue chanted the spell of light to provide them with protection; Su Mo used the power of nature to resonate with the runes in the ruins to find the correct way to open the barrier; Zhao Ming stood guard vigilantly, ready to deal with possible emergencies at any time crisis.
After some hard work, when the last rune was correctly activated, the barrier suddenly dissolved, and the book of wisdom slowly fell into Li Zixue's outstretched hand. At that moment, a warm and powerful force poured into them, as if it was the recognition of ancient wisdom.
"We did it, the book of wisdom is back in its place." Li Zixue stroked the pages of the book, as if listening to the whispers of history.
"This is just the beginning, there are still Sword of Courage and Shield of Compassion waiting for us to discover." Zhao Ming's eyes are looking into the distance, and new challenges are already calling.
"Yes, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as we are together, there will be no difficulty that cannot be overcome." Su Mo held his companion's hand tightly, his eyes full of trust and hope.
The three of them turned their backs to the setting sun and took a solid step towards the unknown tomorrow. During this long and unknown journey, they firmly believe that as long as there is light in their hearts, they can light up the whole world.
"Next, let's go to the location of the Sword of Courage, which is said to be the top of the storm." Zhao Ming's words were resounding, heralding the beginning of another legend.
"Top of the Storm sounds exciting. I'm ready!" Li Zixue smiled like a flower, full of longing for the upcoming adventure.
Su Mo also smiled softly: "No matter the wind or rain, we will walk together."
"Then it's settled. We'll set off immediately at dawn tomorrow. Before that, we need to get enough rest and prepare for everything ahead." Zhao Ming said, turning his eyes to an open space not far away, where there was enough room to set up several simple tents. tent.
The night was getting darker and the starry sky was brighter. The three of them sat around the campfire and shared their thoughts and expectations about the challenges they were about to face. Li Zixue flipped through the ancient pages of the Book of Wisdom, exclaiming in wonder from time to time. She seemed to be able to feel the endless knowledge and power behind those words.
"This book is really incredible. It records a lot of lost magic and ancient wisdom. If we can fully master it, our power will be greatly enhanced." Li Zixue closed the book, her eyes shining with thirst for knowledge.
"Power is good, but what's more important is how to use it." Zhao Ming patted her shoulder and said sincerely, "We shoulder heavy responsibilities and must not let power blind us."
"What I'm saying is that the path of a light messenger is never easy." Su Mo looked up at the night sky, the stars twinkling in her eyes, as if there was some mysterious connection with nature, "But as long as there is light in our hearts, the path will naturally be easy." Underfoot.”
The next day, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist, the three of them were ready and embarked on the journey to the top of the storm. The journey is not easy. Not only do they have to cross winding mountain roads, they also have to face sudden storms and unknown biological attacks. "Look, that towering mountain peak should be the top of the storm." Zhao Ming pointed ahead. Half of the mountain peak was surrounded by clouds, and the sharp rocks occasionally exposed were like the tip of a sword, revealing an inviolable majesty. (End of chapter)
