Li Zixue's book of wisdom shines brightly at this moment, and the ancient wisdom converges into a beam of light that penetrates everything and hits the enemy's heart directly.
An unprecedented power emerged in Su Mo's heart. It was the belief of the mysterious shadow guard and the persistence of all the Dawn Guards. He turned this power into a healing light, which not only healed his teammates, but also warmed everyone's heart. Heart.
The battle reached its climax at this moment, and at this critical moment, a deafening roar came from the depths of the forbidden area. It seemed that some kind of seal was broken and ancient power began to awaken.
"It's time to end it." Yueyue's voice was firm. Through the rune stones, she guided the new power and directed it towards the enemy.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the enemy wanted to escape, but was trapped by this sudden force, and finally disappeared after a burst of light.
As the enemy disappeared, the fog in the forbidden area began to dissipate, and the imprisoned guardians gradually regained consciousness. They knelt on the ground and paid the highest respect to the Dawn Guardians.
The night finally begins to fade, and the first ray of morning light penetrates the clouds and shines on this land that has experienced battles, bringing hope and new life.
"We did it." Su Mo looked at his teammates, his eyes filled with relief.
"But the challenge has just begun." Yueyue reminded, taking a long-term view, "We still know very little about that ancient organization."
Li Zixue put away the book of wisdom, with a hint of confidence in her smile, "Then, let us explore together and reveal all the secrets."
"That's right." Zhao Ming sheathed his sword and his eyes were bright, "As long as we unite, there is nothing we can't solve."
Although the mysterious shadow guard has not fully recovered, his eyes are brighter than ever: "I am willing to join you and fight against the unknown threat together."
"Welcome, partner." Yueyue stretched out her hand, and the runestones were gently suspended in her palm, emitting a soft light, symbolizing the acceptance and trust of the new members.
"Now, we must first find out the details of that ancient organization." Li Zixue opened the book of wisdom and thought for a moment before saying, "There are some ancient legends recorded in the book, which may be able to provide us with clues."
The four of them sat around in a relatively open place, with the light of wisdom shining down, and Li Zixue began to decipher those ancient and obscure texts. As she narrated, a picture seemed to slowly unfold before everyone's eyes, and fragments of information about that ancient organization were gradually pieced together.
"It is rumored that this organization is called the 'Shadow Parliament'. They have existed since ancient times and have been lurking in the shadows of the world, seeking forbidden knowledge and power." Li Zixue explained.
Su Mo frowned and thought: "If this is the case, we need more specific information to formulate countermeasures. What is the goal of the Shadow Council? Do they have weaknesses?"
"Weakness is the backside of every strength. There is always an exposed crack." Yueyue said solemnly, "We have to find that crack."
Zhao Ming nodded in agreement, and then suggested: "We can split up and continue to investigate the Shadow Council in depth while strengthening the defense of the academy and allies. At the same time, we must also be vigilant to avoid falling into their trap again."
"I agree." Li Zixue expressed support and made a suggestion, "I still need to go back to the library. There are many unsolved mysteries there. Maybe I can discover more secrets about the Shadow Council."
The mysterious shadow guard seemed even more determined: "If my physical condition allows, I hope to participate in the investigation, provide help to you, and at the same time repay your kindness."
Hearing this, Yueyue smiled warmly: "You are already a member of the team, no need to say thank you. Let's work together for dawn and peace."
The midday sun dispelled the last haze, and the five people stood up, the determination and trust in their eyes lighting up each other's faces. They know that the road ahead will be full of unknowns and dangers, but as long as they have each other, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome.
"Let's go, friends." After Yueyue's words fell, everyone was ready to go towards their respective tasks, but their hearts were tightly connected.
"No matter what the road ahead is, the light of dawn will eventually dispel all darkness." Zhao Ming's words are like a promise to his partners and an oath to the future.
And as their backs gradually faded away, a new chapter quietly opened in this land. This battle against the Shadow Council is not only to protect the dawn, but also to prove that even the deepest darkness cannot swallow the heart that yearns for light.
"We are the Guardians of the Dawn." Li Zixue murmured softly, and the book of wisdom closed gently in her hand, as if it was the best annotation for this moment.
"That's right." Su Mo smiled, his eyes gentle and tough, "No matter when and where, light will always shine in our hearts."
Zhao Ming followed the plan and investigated the Shadow Council's stronghold alone. His figure was like a silent lightning in the night, fast and deadly. However, just as he was about to reveal the key intelligence, a sudden ambush broke the original calm.
"Hmph, Dawn Guards, do you think I really know nothing about your actions?" A cold voice came from the shadows, and then several men in black appeared like ghosts, surrounding Zhao Ming. surrounded.
Zhao Ming sneered, and with a flash of sword light, he immediately fell into a fierce battle with these mysterious enemies. The sword is flying, and every move is full of power and skill, but the enemies are numerous and their strength cannot be underestimated. During the battle, a sudden hidden weapon grazed Zhao Ming's left arm, leaving a deep wound and blood staining his sleeve red.
"Zhao Ming!" In the distance, Yueyue's voice traveled through space with the help of the magic power of rune stones. She was keenly aware of Zhao Ming's crisis. At the same time, Su Mo, Li Zixue and the mysterious shadow guard also received the news immediately. They immediately rushed in the direction of Zhao Ming without any hesitation.
"We must be quick!" Li Zixue said anxiously, flipping the book of wisdom quickly in her hands, looking for a way to quickly move to Zhao Ming's side.
"I know a shortcut, but it's very dangerous." The mysterious shadow guard frowned. Although his body had not fully recovered, his dedication to his companions made him willing to take risks.
"Any risk is worth a try." Su Mo replied resolutely, his palms emitting warm light, once again inputting life energy into the mysterious shadow guard, accelerating his recovery.
Using the emergency teleportation array found by Li Zixue, the four of them crossed the complex terrain as quickly as possible and headed straight to the place where Zhao Ming was in danger. When they arrived, Zhao Ming was already at a disadvantage, but he still resisted tenaciously and refused to let any enemy get close to him.
"Zhao Ming, hold on!" Su Mo shouted and immediately cast healing magic. Green light surrounded Zhao Ming, slowly repairing his injuries.
"Thank you, you came just in time." Zhao Ming gasped, with a smile on his lips, and waved his sword again, doubling his power.
With the joint efforts of everyone, the situation was quickly reversed. Yueyue laid a rune barrier to block the enemy's retreat; Li Zixue used the Book of Wisdom to cast advanced spells to control the battlefield; although the mysterious shadow guard could not go into battle in person, he used his mental power to interfere with the enemy's judgment; Su Mo's treatment and assistance Magic ensures the team's long-term combat effectiveness.
However, just as the battle was about to be won, the earth suddenly trembled, and a huge figure emerged from the ground. It was an elite monster sent by the Shadow Council, possessing terrifying strength.
"This... what kind of monster is this?" Zhao Ming was surprised, but did not flinch, pointing his sword at the giant beast.
"We can't go head-to-head." Li Zixue analyzed quickly, flipping through the book of wisdom with her fingers. "The book records a spell that can temporarily trap large creatures."
"Okay, I'll attract its attention, Li Zixue, get ready!" Yueyue gave the order decisively, the light of the runestone in her hand increased sharply, and she rushed forward, directing all attention to herself.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Zixue finished singing, and a complex light pattern appeared on the ground, expanding instantly to form a cage of light, in which the giant beast's huge body was trapped, roaring continuously.
"Good job!" Zhao Ming shouted approvingly. Although the wound hurt, he still stood firm bravely.
"Now, it's time to end all this." Su Mo said solemnly. He gathered all his strength and prepared to cast a decisive blow of healing magic, not only for Zhao Ming, but also for all his companions in the battle.
Just when the magic was about to be released, the giant beast suddenly became violent and cracks appeared in the cage of light. At this critical moment, the mysterious shadow guard endured the pain and stood up suddenly. He condensed an unknown energy with his hands and projected it towards the giant beast, miraculously suppressing its uprising.
"Quick, this is the last chance!" The mysterious shadow guard's voice was weak but extremely firm.
Su Mo seized this moment of tranquility, and the green healing light poured into Zhao Ming's wound like a torrent. His injury quickly improved, and his whole person seemed to be reborn.
"It's over, giant beast." Zhao Ming's eyes became sharp, and he slashed with his sword. With the bright sword light, the giant beast finally fell to the ground, and the battle came to an end.
Everyone gathered around, supporting each other, gasping one after another, but the light in their eyes was extremely bright. This victory was not only due to their individual strength, but also to the unconditional trust and cooperation between the team.
"Go back, Zhao Ming, you need to rest." Su Mo patted Zhao Ming's shoulder with concern in his tone.
"Yes, this time, thanks to you." Zhao Ming showed a rare smile. Although the wound hurt, his heart felt warmer than ever before.
"We are a team, aren't we?" Yueyue smiled, her eyes sweeping over everyone gently, "There is no 'thank you', only 'together'."
The mysterious shadow guard nodded slightly and said firmly: "I owe you more than this time. We will face the future together."
Li Zixue closed the book of wisdom, her eyes flashing with longing for the future: "We still have more unknown challenges, but as long as we are together, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome."
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the way back. The five people walked side by side, and their shadows were stretched out, seeming to tell a story of unyielding and unity.
"Having said that, after the giant beast, the Shadow Council will definitely not give up." Zhao Ming changed the topic. Although his tone was relaxed, his eyes revealed vigilance, "We have to prepare in advance."
Su Mo nodded in agreement: "Indeed, since they can cultivate such powerful creatures, the strength behind them cannot be underestimated. We need more information, know ourselves and the enemy, so that we can fight without danger."
Yueyue raised the rune stone in her hand, and the light flickered, seeming to declare silently: "I will contact all allies and strengthen our information network. The Shadow Council, no matter how deep they hide, will one day be exposed by the light."
"I will return to the library. The Book of Wisdom may contain more secrets about the Shadow Council." Li Zixue said with determination, "Under the dust of history, there are always forgotten truths."
The mysterious shadow guard walked silently aside, with a low but powerful voice: "My mission is to strengthen my recovery and become your solid backing as soon as possible. Each of us is the key and cannot be missing."
Their conversation echoed in the air, and every word was full of strength and belief, indicating that the Dawn Keeper's journey was far from over. Instead, because of this victory, their hearts became closer and their will became stronger.
"No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, we will walk hand in hand." Yueyue's words were gentle and firm, like a warm wind, blowing away the haze in everyone's hearts.
"Yes, let's go hand in hand." The others said in unison, and their voices gathered into a powerful force that shook the surrounding air.
Their figures are getting further and further away, but in that land that has been baptized by the battle, what is left behind is not only the traces of victory, but also a promise and expectation - for the sake of dawn and for peace, they will move forward fearlessly .
"The misty forest is said to be a testing ground for ancient magicians. It is full of unknown magical creatures and weird natural laws." Yueyue explained as she walked, her fingers lightly swiping across the map in her hand, and the shimmer of the rune stones reflected on the Her face looked extremely focused.
Su Mo frowned and looked around at the gradually thickening fog: "This place is really not suitable for staying for a long time. We must find a path to the core area and complete the task as soon as possible."
Li Zixue sighed softly, and the book of wisdom automatically opened to a page of yellowed map: "If the record is correct, we should be close to the abandoned ancient portal, which can take us directly into the core of the misty forest."< br>
The mysterious shadow guard looked around vigilantly. Although his body had not fully recovered, years of training had kept him highly alert at all times: "There are things peeping around in the dark, everyone, be careful."
Suddenly, a rustling sound broke the silence of the forest, and then, several black shadows burst out of the fog so fast that almost only afterimages were left behind.
"Get ready to fight!" Zhao Ming quickly drew his sword, and the silver sword light flashed in the fog, forming an impenetrable line of defense. These black shadows are shadow beasts unique to the misty forest. Their bodies are translucent and can easily blend into the surrounding environment. They are extremely difficult enemies to deal with. The battle broke out instantly, and the shadow beast attacked at an alarming speed, but Zhao Ming and others cooperated tacitly, forming a seamless defense network among themselves. (End of chapter)
