During the conversation, the fog in the Forgotten Valley began to dissipate, and the moonlight shone on the three of them, adding a bit of sanctity to their journey. In the distance, a new horizon gradually emerged in the morning light. It was an unknown territory that they had not yet explored.
"It looks like our next stop has been announced." Zhao Ming pointed into the distance, a look of excitement and anticipation on his face.
"Yes, there may be more stories about this world hidden there, as well as our unsolved mysteries." Su Mo's tone was full of curiosity about the unknown, and her hands were gently clasped together, as if praying to nature for guidance. .
"No matter whether it is windy or rainy, we will walk hand in hand." Li Zixue's eyes penetrated the rising dawn, and her words contained not only wisdom, but also fearless courage.
"Then, let's go!" Zhao Ming shouted, pointing his sword of courage straight into the sky, and thunder and lightning roared, as if in response to his determination.
The three of them embarked on the journey together again, their steps becoming firmer, their backs elongating under the rising sun, becoming the most dazzling scenery on this continent. During the journey, they spread love and hope to everyone they met, and their own stories were sung as new legends.
"Sometimes, light is not a treasure waiting for us to find, but created by ourselves." Zhao Ming's words echoed in the valley, which is a summary of the past and expectations for the future.
"And we are the messengers of light." Su Mo answered, his tone full of mission.
"Yes," Li Zixue chuckled, and the book of wisdom closed gently in her hands. She looked at her friends, her eyes full of trust and warmth, "Together, we will light up every corner of this world."< br>
As night fell, the three of them rested under the stars and sat around the campfire. Their laughter, conversations and dreams were intertwined, creating moving pictures. The campfire reflected their young and resolute faces, as well as the sea of stars in each other's eyes.
"Tomorrow, no matter what awaits us, as long as we are heart to heart, there will be no difficulty that cannot be overcome." Li Zixue's words were gentle but firm, drawing a perfect end to the day.
"That's right," Zhao Ming and Su Mo said in unison. The three of them looked at each other and smiled. The understanding and tacit understanding without words were stronger than ever.
"Good night, may the stars guide our path. See you tomorrow. New adventures are waiting for us." Su Mo said, adding a piece of dry firewood to the fire. The flames rose and seemed to add a ray of light to their conversation. Warm finish.
Zhao Ming looked up at the bright starry sky, with infinite pride in his heart: "In this vast universe, our story is just a tiny part of it, but it is every glimmer of light that gathers into boundless brilliance. Tomorrow, no matter what Whatever the challenge, I’m ready.”
"We are all indispensable characters in each other's stories," Li Zixue smiled softly and glanced at her companions gently. "It is this mutual support that makes our journey so meaningful. May the light of wisdom illuminate us. every night, giving us the power to solve problems.”
The words of the three people slowly settled in the quiet night sky. Every word was full of longing for the future and trust in each other. As time went by, the campfire became weaker, and the stars seemed to flicker gently with the rhythm of their breathing, adding a mysterious veil to the quiet night.
"Sweet dreams, friends." Zhao Ming whispered. His figure blended into the night, but seemed to coexist in harmony with the surrounding nature. Courage and determination were gently rippling around him.
"Good night, may there be light and hope in your dreams." Su Mo's voice had a natural rhythm, like the breeze in the forest, soft and full of life.
"Until dawn, the fire in our hearts will never go out." Li Zixue closed the book of wisdom and held it close to her chest, as if she was seeking comfort from the knowledge and wisdom in the book, and as if she was challenging the unknown tomorrow. oath.
In this way, with the last embers of the campfire, the three travelers gradually fell into sleep. In their dreams, there are memories of past battles and fantasies of future adventures, but more importantly, they are the burning fire of hope and their deep trust and dependence on each other.
And when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the night and illuminated the earth, the three of them were already ready to go, their eyes shining with the vitality and expectation of a new day. There are no unnecessary words, just a simple glance and a smile, which is enough for them to connect with each other and continue to move forward bravely towards the unknown horizon and the next legend.
The tranquility of the Forgotten Valley was broken by the sudden chaos, the earth trembled, and the originally peaceful mist rolled into a violent whirlpool, blocking the moonlight and the travelers' sight. Zhao Ming, Su Mo, and Li Zixue were disturbed by this sudden change and quickly entered a state of alert.
"What's going on? There has never been such turmoil in the Forgotten Valley!" Zhao Ming clenched the thunder-wrapped sword and looked around warily.
Su Mo felt the pulse of the earth and frowned: "The power of nature tells me that some kind of huge change is happening here. It may be an opportunity or a crisis."
"It seems that our journey will add some unexpected episodes." Li Zixue gently closed the book of wisdom, and the pages of the book flickered with spiritual light, as if responding to the unknown call.
While they were discussing, there was a sound of rapid footsteps accompanied by a deep roar coming from far away. A group of strange-looking creatures with red eyes emerged from the mist. They held rotten weapons and exuded an ominous aura.
"It's the shadow beast, the guardian of the Forgotten Valley. How can it be so violent?" Su Mo recognized these creatures and his face was solemn.
"No matter what, since it's here, we have to deal with it." As soon as Zhao Ming finished speaking, a sword of thunder and lightning cut through the air, hitting the shadow beast at the front and repelling it instantly.
The battle was about to break out. Su Mo used the power of nature to make vines grow wildly from the ground and weave into a giant net, trapping a group of shadow beasts. Li Zixue unfolded the book of wisdom, and the illusion of knowledge pouring out of the light disturbed the shadow beasts. consciousness, causing them to fall into chaos.
"There are too many of them. If this continues, we will be exhausted." Li Zixue reminded.
"We must find the source and end all this." Zhao Ming suggested, waving his sword while resisting the tide of attacks.
At this moment, a stronger vibration came, and a huge crack opened deep in the fog, from which a powerful wave of energy surged. It was a gem that shone with strange light, suspended in the air, as if This is the source of this confusion.
"Is that...an opportunity?" Su Mo said in surprise.
"But at the same time, it is also the center of the crisis." Li Zixue added, staring closely at the gem.
Zhao Ming decisively ordered: "Act separately. Su Mo, you try to communicate with nature and stabilize these shadow beasts. Li Zixue and I will go get the gem. Remember, be fast!"
The three people quickly implemented the plan. Under the cover of Su Mo, Zhao Ming and Li Zixue broke through the siege and headed towards the gem. Just as they were approaching, a huge shadow beast leader rushed out from the darkness, trying to stop them.
"No, Zhao Ming, hurry up!" Li Zixue exclaimed, and at the same time cast a spell to build a protective shield with the light of wisdom, temporarily resisting the attack.
Zhao Ming jumped up, the power of thunder and lightning reached its peak, and struck the huge shadow beast with a sword. With a loud thunder, the leader fell down. The two took advantage of the situation to grab the gem. At that moment, the light shone brightly, and all the shadow beasts fell silent instantly. The fog gradually dissipated, and the Forgotten Valley returned to its former peace.
"Successful...but what kind of power is this?" Zhao Ming held the gem in his hand and felt unprecedented energy fluctuations.
"No matter what it is, it must have a deep meaning when it chooses us." Li Zixue caressed the gem gently, as if she could feel the story behind it.
Just as the three of them were immersed in the joy of victory and discovery, a low and solemn voice sounded in their hearts: "You are the chosen warriors, and this stone of destiny will lead you to a new mission. But remember, the more powerful you are, the more powerful you are." The bigger the responsibility, the heavier the responsibility..."
The voice gradually faded away, leaving Zhao Ming, Su Mo, and Li Zixue looking at each other with excitement and anxiety in their hearts.
"Is this... the guidance of fate?" Zhao Ming's voice trembled slightly. He looked at his partner with both expectation and caution in his eyes.
"No matter what, we have been involved in this unknown whirlpool." Su Mo whispered, an imperceptible determination revealed between his brows, "Since it is a choice of fate, let us face it bravely."
"Well, we should first understand the secret of this gem. It is obviously related to the changes in the Forgotten Valley, and may also hide more information about this world." Li Zixue suggested, and her book of wisdom automatically opened to blank page, as if preparing to record everything that is about to be revealed.
The three decided to take shelter in a nearby cave to study the Stone of Destiny carefully. Outside the cave, the night was getting darker, and there were occasional cries of unknown creatures, but they did not dare to get close because of the protective circle around them.
"This gem... I feel an ancient and powerful magic power. Its resonance with the natural elements is very special." Su Mo said softly, her fingers gently touched the surface of the gem, and the green radiance flowed and complemented the light of the gem. .
"Look, there is a pattern here!" Li Zixue suddenly exclaimed, and saw subtle lines appearing on the surface of the gemstone, forming a complex totem that seemed to be telling an ancient legend.
"Let me try to see if I can decipher these symbols." Li Zixue concentrated, and the book of wisdom shone brighter. Pages of ancient documents and interpretation methods appeared in front of her eyes. She compared them carefully, trying to solve this ancient mystery. .
As time passed, the night outside the cave became darker, and inside the cave, there were finally some features.
"This... seems to be a symbol of a lost civilization in ancient times. It mentions an existence called the 'Gate of Time and Space' and the hero who can hold its key." Li Zixue's voice was mixed with disbelief and excitement.
"The Gate of Time and Space? It sounds like something from legend." Zhao Ming murmured to himself, and then said firmly, "If this is really our mission, then we must find this gate and reveal its secrets. .”
"However, opening the door to time and space may mean releasing unknown power and even changing history." Su Mo reminded, with both expectation and a hint of worry in her eyes.
"We can't escape. Since fate has chosen us, we must take responsibility." Zhao Ming stood up, his shadow illuminated by the fire, making him majestic and resolute. "Let us go back to the people first, maybe we can find more clues."
Early the next morning, the three of them embarked on their journey again. This time, their destination was the nearest city of wisdom, Avner, where there was a rich collection of books and a gathering of scholars, which might be able to answer their questions.
During the journey, they met many passers-by, and everyone cast strange eyes on the three people wearing mysterious gems and commented one after another.
"Look, are those young men the legendary brave men?"
"I seem to have seen that gem in a book somewhere. It represents great power!"
"I'm so envious, if only I could have that kind of adventure."
The wonders and speculations of passers-by became part of the scenery on their way, which also invisibly increased their sense of responsibility and mission.
Finally arriving at Avina, the city was bustling and bustling, with all kinds of people passing through, but the three of them were undoubtedly the center of attention.
In the library, they were warmly received by the elderly director. The director took the Stone of Destiny with trembling hands, with shock and awe flashing in his eyes: "This... this is the only miracle I have seen in my life. Children , are you really planning to explore the secret of the Gate of Time and Space?”
"Yes, Curator. We need your help and the guidance of all the knowledge in this city." Zhao Ming replied sincerely.
In the days that followed, they conducted in-depth research in Avner, discussed with many scholars, and collected clues. At the same time, they did not forget to spread hope and courage among the people. They gradually became heroes in people's mouth, and that unknown mission was... Uncover its mystery bit by bit.
One day, when they were gathered in the deepest part of the library, discussing a newly discovered clue, the director suddenly appeared, holding an ancient parchment scroll in his hand, with a solemn expression.
"Children, according to the latest information I discovered, the Gate of Time and Space not only connects different worlds, but also hides huge risks. To open it, you need not only gems, but also three long-lost sacred objects: the Sword of Courage. The fragments of the true form, the heart of nature, and the living water of the fountain of knowledge respectively represent power, harmony and wisdom, and are indispensable.”
When the three of them heard this, they looked at each other and felt an unprecedented sense of challenge.
"It seems that our journey has just begun." Zhao Ming clenched his fists, with an unyielding light shining in his eyes. "Then, let us set off again for a greater mission." Su Mo's words were gentle but firm, and the power of nature surrounded her, as if confirming her decision. (End of chapter)
