In the early morning of the next day, the sun shone all over the earth, and the members of the Sons of Balance were already busy. Lin Hao was sitting in a corner of the library, with his hands piled high with books on ancient writing and history, while Su Mo was conducting remote meetings with scholars from various places to explore the possible meanings of the symbols in the books. Lina followed Arya. Although she was new here, her diligent learning attitude won the praise of the team.
"Look here, Lin Hao, these patterns seem to be similar to the totems of ancient lost civilizations." Su Mo shared his discovery with Lin Hao through the communicator, and his voice could not hide his excitement.
"Lost civilization... this may be the key." Lin Hao pondered, his fingertips traced the obscure lines in the book, "We need more physical evidence, Arya, contact the archeology department to see if there are any relevant ruins Can be inspected.”
"Understood." Arya responded quickly, her actions as efficient as ever.
A few days later, the Sons of Balance team came to a remote valley, where a ruins said to be related to an ancient civilization was hidden. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the totems carved on the stone wall matched the symbols in the book surprisingly well, inspiring the team members to have greater desire for exploration.
"This is more than just a ruins..." Lin Hao looked around, feeling a strange feeling in his heart.
"Yes, I think we are getting closer to the answer." Su Mo agreed, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
Just as they were about to explore further, an old voice sounded from behind: "Young people, are you looking for power or understanding?" A white-haired old man appeared in their sight. He was holding a cane but his eyes were extremely sharp. .
"Both, senior." Su Mo took a step forward and replied respectfully, "We want to use this power to protect the balance and prevent unnecessary disputes."
The old man nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied with Su Mo's answer. "So, come with me. It's time for the world to know some things."
Following the old man's guidance, the Sons of Balance team entered a secret basement. There is an ancient stone platform in the center. The stone platform is engraved with complex patterns similar to those in the book. The old man gently touched the stone platform, and instantly, the light shone brightly, and a string of code-like characters flowed on the stone platform, corresponding to the contents of the book one by one.
"This is... how to open it?" Lin Hao exclaimed.
"It is not only an initiation, but also a trial." The old man said slowly, "The power of knowledge is both glorious and dangerous. Only those with a righteous heart and a firm will can control it."
"Trial... we are ready." Su Mo and Lin Hao looked at each other, their eyes full of determination and courage.
"Very good, Son of Balance." The old man showed a rare smile, turned and walked towards the depths of the basement, "Then, let's get started."
As the old man progressed, a series of murals depicting ancient legends and battles gradually appeared on the basement walls. Each picture seemed to tell the story of the rise and fall of an era and the inheritance of wisdom. At the end of the mural, a huge stone door stands quietly, waiting to be awakened.
"Behind this door lies the most precious heritage of ancient civilization, and it is also the answer you are looking for." The old man pointed to the stone door, and the crutch in his hand touched the ground lightly, making a crisp sound, "But to open it, you must prove that you are qualified. Inherit this power.”
Su Mo, Lin Hao and other members of the Sons of Balance looked at each other, a silent understanding flowing between them. They know that this is not only a personal test, but also a verification of the team's beliefs.
"We are ready to be tested." Arya took a step forward, her voice firm and clear.
The old man nodded and began to chant an ancient and long spell. As the spell reverberated, the stone door slowly opened, and a burst of intense light overflowed from the crack in the door, illuminating the entire basement. In the light, a maze of pure energy loomed, waiting for their exploration.
"Remember, there are countless temptations and tests hidden in the maze. Only with a firm mind can you remain unmoved and find the exit." The old man's reminder is like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning, reminding everyone to stay alert.
The members of the Sons of Balance step into the maze one after another, and every step is full of unknowns and challenges. In the maze, they encountered various illusions: some were memories of past failures, trying to erode their confidence; others were illusions of power and wealth, trying to shake their determination. But each time, the team members overcame the difficulties with determination and each other’s support.
"We are for a bigger goal, we can't fall here!" Lina's voice was particularly loud during a battle against the illusion, and her growth was eye-catching.
After some arduous exploration and challenges, the Son of Balance finally reached the core of the maze, where a radiant crystal seemed to contain endless knowledge and power. Just as everyone was preparing to approach, a line of words appeared on the surface of the crystal: "True power comes from the purity of the soul and dedication to others."
"It turns out that this is not only a way to gain power, but also a spiritual awakening." Lin Hao suddenly realized.
"We understand." Su Mo nodded and turned to the team, "Sons of Balance, what we pursue is not only strength, but also the determination to do whatever it takes for world peace and justice. Let us welcome the dawn of this new era together. .”
As the members of the Children of Klang work together, the crystal releases a gentle yet powerful light that envelops their bodies. When the light dissipated, their eyes shone with an unprecedented light, a perfect combination of understanding, wisdom, and power.
"Now, we are ready." Lin Hao's voice was full of strength and determination.
"Yes, no matter what threats they face, the Sons of Balance will move forward bravely." Su Mo added, his eyes looking into the distance, where more challenges are waiting for them.
"The world is about to witness the power of the Son of Balance." The old man nodded with satisfaction. He knew that a new legendary chapter was slowly unfolding with the footsteps of the Son of Balance.
As the team of the Sons of Balance walked out of the basement and returned to the light, a passerby stepped forward curiously and asked: "Did you find anything? It seems that you are full of a different aura."
Su Mo smiled, with a deep light shining in his eyes: "We have found something more important than strength, which is inner guidance and belief in the future. The son of Balance is always on the road."
The eyes of passers-by showed admiration and curiosity, and the surrounding discussions started again, full of curiosity about the new abilities of the Son of Balance and expectations for future adventures.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the figures of the Sons of Balance gradually fade away. Their story is far from over, but a brand new beginning, heading towards a more glorious and unknown tomorrow.
"Sons of Balance, you are indeed impressive." A low and magnetic voice suddenly broke into the discussion of the crowd. Everyone turned their heads and saw a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes and extraordinary temperament walking slowly over. His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, "My name is Leo, I come from an ancient family in the East. Our family has studied ancient wisdom for generations. I heard about your deeds and came here to help."
Passers-by stepped out of the way, their eyes full of curiosity about what would happen next. "An ancient family? Now it's interesting." The elder who shook his head and sighed spoke again, with interest flashing in his eyes.
"Mr. Leo, what kind of help can your family provide?" Aaliya stepped forward quickly, her eyes showing both caution and expectation.
Leo smiled slightly and pulled out a beautifully bound booklet from his sleeve: "This is the research on lost civilizations accumulated by our family for generations. I believe the information in it will be of great benefit to your exploration. However, in exchange, I I hope that our family can establish a cooperative relationship with the Sons of Balance in the future and jointly protect the balance of this world.”
Lin Hao took the booklet and flipped through a few pages, with a flash of surprise in his eyes: "This is exactly the clue we need, Mr. Leo, we very much welcome your proposed cooperation. The Sons of Balance have always believed that uniting all forces that can unite, It is the key to fighting darkness and maintaining peace.”
The chatter among passers-by was even louder. They were shocked and envious of the new allies that the Sons of Balance were about to have. "It seems that the Sons of Balance are getting another powerful boost." The young man exclaimed. In addition to yearning, there was more determination in his eyes, and he seemed to be infected by the ideas of the Sons of Balance.
"So, what will we do next?" Lina followed closely, her eyes showing both the desire for the unknown and the excitement of tasting the fruits of victory for the first time.
"First of all, we will determine the next exploration location based on the information provided by Mr. Leo." Lin Hao closed the book with bright eyes. "At the same time, we must also be wary of the movements of the shadow organization. They will not sit back and watch us increase our strength."
"I agree," Su Mo said, "We must not only be fast, but also ensure the concealment of our actions. Every action of the Son of Balance may cause a chain reaction."
"Speaking of the shadow organization," Leo's eyes became serious, "They seem to be preparing for a large-scale operation recently. According to intelligence, the target is likely to be related to the relics of the ancient civilization you are tracking."
Arya frowned when she heard this: "We must get ahead of them. Mr. Leo, can you ask your family's intelligence network to provide us with more information support?"
"Of course." Leo nodded in agreement, with unquestionable firmness in his tone, "The Sons of Balance and my family have the same goal, which is to protect the world. Please believe that we will be your most solid backing. ”
As the sun set, the figures of the Son of Balance and Leo gradually faded out in the crowd, leaving behind passers-by who were chatting all the way. Their conversations were like pebbles thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
"Can they really find that legendary power?" One person murmured to himself.
"Who knows, but as long as the Son of Kinkou exists, hope will never be extinguished." Another person replied confidently.
As night fell, the Sons of Balance's base was brightly lit. They sat around a huge map, pointing and planning their upcoming actions.
"Are you ready, friends?" Lin Hao looked around, his voice full of power and encouragement, "This time, we not only want to reveal the secrets of the ancient civilization, but also stop the conspiracy of the shadow organization and protect innocent people."
"I can't wait for a long time!" Lina was eager to try, her face filled with fighting spirit and determination.
"Then let's go, Son of Balance, for a brighter future." Su Mo stood up, his words were both a mobilization and a promise.
As the members of the Sons of Balance responded one by one, the whole room was filled with blood and passion for the upcoming journey. They know that this is not only a journey to find strength, but also a test of faith, friendship and sacrifice.
"Wait, there is another question." Arya suddenly spoke, interrupting the atmosphere that was about to boil. Her fingers tapped on the table lightly, her eyes flashing with thought, "How do we ensure that we are pursuing these relics?" At the same time, will they not fall into the trap set by the shadow organization? They also know the ancient civilization very well and may have laid a trap."
Lin Hao nodded and took over the conversation: "Aliya is right, blind actions will only make us passive. We need to formulate a careful plan, which must be fast and stable. Mr. Leo, your family Is it possible to penetrate into shadow organizations and provide us with instant intelligence? ”
Leo thought for a moment and answered carefully: "This will take time, but it is not impossible. I will handle the matter personally to ensure that you have the most accurate information to support your actions. In addition, we also have some ancient technology and equipment that may be able to Add a little more chance to your adventure.”
"Great." Su Mo's eyes flashed, and he already had some calculations in his mind, "Then, we will take two steps. One team will continue to study the secrets of ancient civilizations based on existing information, and the other team will closely monitor the shadow organization. A two-pronged approach. We want them to understand that the Sons of Balance not only have courage and belief, but also wisdom and strategy.”
"I like this plan." Lina geared up and her excitement was palpable. "Let those guys hiding in the dark see how the power of light penetrates the darkness and illuminates every inch of the corner."
"Then we've decided." Lin Hao stood up, looked around, and said in a firm and encouraging tone, "Everyone has their own mission, whether it's fighting against the shadows on the front line, or doing in-depth research behind the scenes, we are all children of equilibrium. An indispensable part. Every step we take will determine the future of this world." Everyone agreed, and the air was filled with determination and expectation. At this moment, a hurried team member interrupted the discussion: "Captain, there is an emergency! One of our informants lurking in the shadow organization just sent a tip. They seem to have made a major discovery and are gathering a large number of Manpower travels to an unknown location" (End of Chapter)
