Su Mo looked at Lin Hao, a warm current surged in his heart, and then turned to the traveler: "Okay, but you have to understand that any move that endangers the balance of this team and the world will be met with our full counterattack."
The traveler smiled, as if he had expected this result: "Don't worry, I have only one purpose - to protect the light and shadow of this world, so that they can coexist rather than be destroyed."
With the addition of the traveler, the team's strength has been significantly improved, and the information he brought has also provided key clues for finding the mysterious organization. They decided to split into two teams. One team continued to go deep into the contaminated area to study the possibility of water source recovery, while the other team followed the new travelers and followed the clues of the mysterious organization.
A few days later, the tracking team discovered a hidden entrance deep in a dark forest, and there was an ominous atmosphere surrounding the entrance. Su Mo, Jason and Traveler entered carefully. Inside was a huge underground maze, intricate and intricate, obviously carefully designed to block the invasion of outsiders.
Just as they were exploring carefully, a deep voice echoed in the maze, as if it could penetrate people's hearts: "I never thought that someone could really find this place. Once you come, let's make peace with it. Tell me, why are you here?" ”
Su Mo stood still and said loudly: "We are messengers of light, here to seek balance, expose and stop the conspiracy that attempts to destroy the harmony of the world."
A burst of sneer echoed: "Light? Balance? What a high-sounding reason. As everyone knows, the stronger the light, the deeper the shadow. Without darkness, what is the meaning of light?"
The traveler raised the corner of his mouth and said slowly: "Your view is too one-sided. Without light, darkness will swallow everything; without darkness, light will also lose its value. What we pursue is the coexistence of the two, not the dominance of one. ”
The other party was silent for a moment, and then, a ray of light flashed, and several figures appeared in front of them. The leader's eyes flashed with complicated light: "Interesting, it seems that we have a lot to discuss. But I won't believe it so easily. You guys, come on, pass my test, maybe we still have room for cooperation.”
Tests come one after another, and each level is full of extreme challenges to wisdom and strength. The team relies on the power of the Balanced Heart and the assistance of new travelers to gradually overcome the difficulties. With each level they pass, they can feel the mysterious power's recognition of them increasing.
Finally, after a thrilling duel, standing in the deepest part of the maze was a huge core surrounded by a dark atmosphere. It was both the source of pollution and a symbol of the power of the mysterious organization.
"You won, but this does not mean that light can defeat darkness." The voice in the core said with unwillingness and helplessness, "The real battle has just begun."
Su Mo, Jason and the traveler looked at each other with perseverance in their eyes: "We do not seek victory, only balance. Both light and darkness will be an indispensable part of this world."
At this moment, the maze suddenly shook, and the core emitted a dazzling light, but gradually became gentle. It seemed that under their influence, the pure darkness began to find a way to coexist harmoniously with the light.
"It seems that you are indeed trustworthy." The voice sounded again, but this time it was less hostile and more approving. "There may still be a long way to go between us, but at least, at this moment, we stand Together.”
As the maze gradually dissipated, the group returned to the ground. In the sky, the first ray of morning light was penetrating through the clouds and spreading gently on the earth. Lin Hao and other team members were waiting not far away. Seeing that they were safe and sound, they all smiled with relief.
"You succeeded." Lin Hao stepped forward and shook hands with Su Mo and Jason tightly. "It seems that the boundary between light and darkness is not insurmountable. As long as there is love and wisdom in the heart, everything is possible. Possibly.”
The traveler also showed a satisfied smile: "Yes, today is just the beginning. In the future, there will be more challenges waiting for us. But we are no longer fighting alone, we are an alliance guarding the light and shadow."< br>
Su Mo looked at the rising sun, and his heart was filled with unprecedented determination: "As long as we are together, no matter how deep the darkness is, we can't stop the coming of light. In the next road, we will go hand in hand to every corner of the world All are full of harmony and hope.”
Jason patted Su Mo on the back and said with a smile in his eyes: "Well said, Captain. As long as you are here, there will be direction and hope."
The team members on the side also responded, their words full of excitement and expectation.
"Yes, Su Mo, you always bring us surprises." A team member said with emotion.
"And with this mysterious traveler joining us, it feels like our team is even more powerful now!" Another team member looked at the traveler with admiration in his eyes.
The traveler smiled slightly and glanced at everyone gently: "Each of us is a unique force. When our hearts are united, there is nothing in this world that we cannot face."
Lin Hao looked pleased and said softly to Su Mo: "Seeing you all so united makes my heart feel at ease. I will also do my part in future battles."
Su Mo turned around and looked at Lin Hao seriously: "Of course, Lin Hao, we are a team and we can't do it without anyone. Your wisdom and courage are our precious wealth."
Just as everyone was immersed in the warm and encouraging atmosphere, a strange fluctuation suddenly appeared in the distant sky, which attracted everyone's attention.
"What is that?" A team member pointed to the horizon with a look of surprise.
Su Mo immediately became alert and squinted his eyes to take a closer look. There seemed to be a vague energy condensing there, indicating that something unusual was about to happen.
"It seems that our peaceful time is about to be broken again." The traveler whispered, his expression becoming solemn.
"Get ready to fight." Su Mo quickly ordered, and at the same time said to Jason, "Jason, you and a few fast team members go to investigate, and the others are ready to fight."
Without saying a word, Jason immediately selected a few team members and quickly headed towards the unknown direction. Not long after, a nervous voice came from Jason's communicator: "Su Mo, something is wrong. That energy... seems to be a sign that a powerful being is about to break through the seal."
The discussion in the team stopped abruptly, and everyone's face was full of shock and wariness. Su Mo took a deep breath and his eyes became extremely firm: "No matter who comes, as long as it threatens our world, we must stand up. This time, we must not only protect the balance of light and shadow, but also prevent any Powers that could undermine the results of our efforts.”
Lin Hao stepped forward and stood side by side with Su Mo: "Su Mo is right, we have experienced so much and are no longer fledgling explorers. Whether it is an ancient seal or an unknown enemy, we have the confidence to face it .”
A deep shout erupted from the team, which was an oath of their common belief and perseverance for the battle ahead.
At this moment, the strange movement in the sky became more obvious, as if something huge was about to arrive. A passing villager witnessed all this. He was shocked and said to the people next to him: "Look over there, are those people preparing to fight against some monster? It's really amazing!"
When others heard this, they also looked incredulous: "Yes, I heard that they are guardians, specializing in dealing with threats that we cannot see. I really hope they can win so that our lives can be peaceful."
These discussions inadvertently became the best background sound for Su Mo and others. Amid the admiration and expectations of passers-by, Su Mo and his teammates looked even more majestic.
Su Mo looked up at the sky. The upcoming challenge seemed to have become the call in his heart: "Come on, no matter what lies ahead, we will tell the world with our actions - there is always something between light and shadow. Such a group of people, in order to protect the balance, are not afraid of difficulties and always move forward.”
"Jason, report the details. We need more information to formulate countermeasures." Su Mo gave the order calmly, and her voice echoed in the team, stabilizing everyone's emotions.
Jason's voice came from the communicator, mixed with some wind noise: "In that energy center, there is a looming figure. It feels... very ancient and powerful. Su Mo, I am not sure whether we have the ability to directly confront such an existence."
"We have no choice, Jason." Su Mo responded firmly, "Recall the exploration team and we will gather to discuss. Traveler, do you know anything about the ancient seal?"
The traveler frowned and pondered for a moment: "Ancient seals are often connected to the fundamental power of the world. If it is true as Jason said, we may be facing an existence in an ancient myth. We need to find the key to the seal, or find something that can An ancient relic to aid us in our fight against this force."
"The key... or a relic?" Lin Hao murmured to himself, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "I remember, I read in ancient books that in ancient times, a 'harmony stone' was created to balance light and darkness. , it is said to absorb and neutralize excessive forces.”
"The Harmony Stone!" Su Mo repeated, with hope shining in his eyes, "If we can find it, we may be able to find a way to fight it. But, where should we find such a legendary thing?"
"I have an idea." The traveler spoke, his voice calm but full of confidence. "Since the seal is about to break, the Harmony Stone should also show some signs. Let's go back to the maze where the core was found. Maybe there will be some signs there. Leave a guide.”
The group of people acted quickly and entered the mysterious underground maze again. This time, the scene in the maze seemed different. Flashing runes appeared on the originally silent walls, guiding them forward.
After walking through a winding passage, they came to a spacious stone room, in the center of which lay a stone emitting a faint light. It was the harmonizing stone they were looking for. However, when Su Mo reached out to touch, a sharp warning suddenly sounded.
"Don't touch it!" An old and majestic voice echoed in the empty stone room, "The power of this stone, if not tamed, will backfire on its owner."
Following the sound, an old man in a robe slowly walked in, his eyes seemed to be able to see everything. "I am the last remnant guarding this Harmony Stone. If you want to use its power, you must first prove that you are qualified."
"Proof?" Jason raised his eyebrows and looked around, "We have defeated the test of the maze. Isn't this enough?"
The old man shook his head gently: "The test is just a test of will. The real proof lies in whether you can understand and accept the true meaning of light and darkness. Tell me, what is the value of light? What is the meaning of darkness?"
Su Mo thought for a moment and replied in a deep voice: "Light allows us to see hope and dispel fear, but it can also make people blind. Although darkness hides the truth, it also breeds new life and change. True harmony does not mean the elimination of anything. One party, but accept each other and let them complement each other.”
A trace of approval flashed in the old man's eyes: "Very good, you do have an understanding beyond ordinary people. But the Harmony Stone is not a tool, it is a contract that requires you to activate it with your inner belief."
Su Mo reached out his hand without hesitation and closed his eyes. The desire for the balance of light and darkness and the firm belief in world peace emerged from the depths of his soul. With her touch, the Harmony Stone burst into dazzling light, and a gentle power flowed into her, resonating with her soul.
"Now, concentrate your strength!" Su Mo shouted, and others stepped forward to inject their faith into the harmony stone. In an instant, the Harmony Stone shone brightly, turning into a beam of light that broke through the top of the stone chamber, pointing directly at the chaotic energy in the sky that was getting closer and closer.
"Successful." The traveler whispered, but there was still worry in his tone, "But the real battle begins now."
Su Mo turned around and glanced at everyone firmly: "We are ready. No matter what we face in the future, as long as we have faith, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome."
Just as they were about to leave the stone room, a crack suddenly opened in the strange place in the sky, and a huge figure slowly emerged, carrying ancient and indescribable power.
"Come on." Su Mo whispered to the sky. Her figure looked particularly tall and tall in the sunlight. "In order to protect the peace of this land, the messengers of light and darkness will meet the challenge together."
The figure gradually became clearer, surrounded by a cyclone of chaos and darkness. A pair of deep eyes seemed to be able to penetrate everything, staring coldly at the tiny guardians below. Residents of the surrounding villages looked at this scene from a distance and stopped what they were doing. Some were horrified, and some were in awe.
"Is that...a god?" A child asked in a low voice, grabbing the corner of his mother's clothes.
The mother hugged the child tightly, but her eyes showed unprecedented determination: "No, that is a challenge. But look at those brave people, they are never afraid." In the team, Jason held his weapon tightly, his eyes flashing with the desire to fight. : "Su Mo, this guy doesn't look easy to mess with." (End of Chapter)
