Upon hearing this, the surrounding villagers and travelers cast their eyes in awe and expectation. Their whispered conversations were like ocean waves, layer upon layer, full of surprise and excitement.
"Four brave men? Then what should we do?" Lin Hao asked impatiently.
"The ancient secret chamber contains the key to controlling the balance of the world, but it has been spied on by the forces of darkness. Only a true hero can solve the puzzle, regain the treasure that protects the secret chamber, and ensure the harmonious coexistence of light and darkness." The old man spoke earnestly, pointing his finger Towards the tall tower in the center of the city.
"Sounds like a tailor-made mission." Jason geared up, his eyes full of eagerness to try.
"Then there's nothing to hesitate about, let's go." Su Mo declared firmly, her determination penetrating the fog like sunshine, inspiring everyone.
Under the watch of everyone, Su Mo, Jason, Lin Hao and Traveler stepped into the maze of the ancient city and started a new challenge. They know that this is not only an exploration of the outside world, but also an ultimate test of self-ability and teamwork.
And as they go deeper and deeper, the secret of the ancient chamber and the crisis that can subvert the world are slowly unveiling its mysterious veil...
"No matter how many unknowns and dangers there are in the future, as long as we are together, there will be no difficulty that cannot be overcome." Su Mo's words were like the best footnote to their adventure, and also planted hope in everyone's hearts. of seeds.
...As they walked through the winding stone corridors, the ancient atmosphere hit their faces, and every mural carved on the wall seemed to tell the glory and secrets of ancient times. Suddenly, a small but clear voice sounded in the empty corridor, like a whisper in the wind.
"Be careful, there are countless traps here. If you are not careful, you may be in catastrophe." An old man in ragged clothes appeared beside them at some point. His eyes were deep, as if he could see everything.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Lin Hao asked alertly, his hand unconsciously moving to the weapon behind his back.
The old man smiled slightly, revealing a bit of mystery: "I used to be one of the guardians of this ancient city. Many years have passed, and although I have grown old, I still know every brick and tile here. I can guide you, but at a cost Well..."
"Tell me, what are the conditions?" Su Mo interrupted the old man, her eyes showing unquestionable determination.
"I want you to help me find the lost family crest, which is the symbol of my family's glory. It should still be hidden in a corner of this secret room." A trace of nostalgia flashed in the old man's eyes.
"Deal." Su Mo agreed without hesitation. Time was precious and they had no room for hesitation.
Under the leadership of the old man, they avoided one exquisitely designed mechanism after another. Every time they passed a place, the passers-by around them would whisper in awe.
"Look at those people, they are simply walking miracles. They can easily crack even such a complicated mechanism."
"That girl, she has an extraordinary bearing, she is definitely not an ordinary person."
"I heard that true warriors can control their destiny. Judging from their appearance, that legend is probably true!"
…As they get closer to the core of the chamber, the atmosphere becomes increasingly tense.
In the center of a spacious hall, a bright gem was embedded in the mouth of an ancient stone beast. The light seemed to be the source of the strange brilliance in the sky before.
"That is the guardian treasure, but to take it away, we must solve the final mystery." The traveler stared at the gem, with both expectation and worry in his eyes.
Just as they were studying how to solve the puzzle, the ground suddenly shook, and a huge black figure slowly walked out of the shadows. Its eyes were like burning coals, exuding an ominous aura.
"Dark Guardians, you shouldn't be here." The voice was low and full of coercion.
"For the balance of the world, we must face you." Su Mo was not afraid. She pulled out her sword, and the silver blade flashed in the light.
The battle is about to break out, Jason's sword dances like a dragon, Lin Hao uses his wisdom to plan tactics, Traveler uses his profound knowledge to find the enemy's weaknesses, and Su Mo is the backbone of the team, leading everyone with extraordinary courage.
The battle was so fierce that the murals on the surrounding stone walls seemed to tremble from the fierce battle. Finally, with perfect cooperation, they found the key to defeating the Dark Guardian and subdued it with one blow.
"Well done, friends." The old man's voice was trembling. He was holding the newly recovered family crest in his hand, and his eyes were full of tears. "This is what I owe you. May the light always shine on you." Road.”
"You're welcome, this is also our mission." Su Mo replied with a smile. They put away the guardian treasure, turned and left the secret room, their hearts filled with the joy of completing their mission and the longing for the future.
When they stepped into the sunshine of the ancient city again, they were greeted by the cheers and admiration of the villagers.
"Look, they did it! The real heroes are back!"
"The world is a better place because of them!"
Amidst the laughter, Su Mo turned to look at her companions, her eyes full of expectations for the future.
"Next, there are more unknowns waiting for us, but as long as we are united, there is no challenge that cannot be overcome."
Jason grinned and said: "Yes, Captain, we are ready for the next adventure!"
"Yes, the unknown is always full of temptation. I can't wait to see what else is waiting for us." Lin Hao also joined the conversation, his eyes shining with a desire for adventure.
The traveler stroked his chin and thought for a moment before saying: "This experience is just the beginning, and the real journey has just begun. There are other lost artifacts in the legend, and together with the guardian treasure, they form the cornerstone of maintaining the balance of the world. If we can find them, we may be able to seal away the forces that threaten peace forever.”
The people around were attracted by their conversation and began to discuss in whispers. "Did you hear that? They are heroes looking for artifacts! Our world can be saved!" a woman said excitedly to her companions.
"It's unbelievable. They seem to be just ordinary people like us, but they can do such great things." A young man said in awe.
At this moment, a burst of rapid hoofbeats broke the brief calm. A knight in armor galloped over. In the flying dust, he reined in his horse and stopped in front of Su Mo and others, looking very anxious.
"Warriors, I am the envoy of the royal city. His Majesty the King has summoned you urgently. It is said that an unknown evil force is gathering in the north, and there is an ominous sign in the sky, which is related to the artifact you are looking for. Only you can prevent the disaster. Happen! ”
As soon as these words came out, the crowd immediately fell into panic and discussion, but the four of them, Su and Mo, looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of determination.
"It seems that our rest time is coming to an end temporarily." Jason patted the dust on his body and said with a smile.
"For the sake of peace, we have no shirk." Su Mo nodded solemnly, then turned to look at the distant sky, where dark clouds were slowly gathering, seeming to foretell the coming storm.
"Let's go, friends, we are not only trying to solve the mysteries of the world, but also protecting every life on this land." The traveler's words were like an oath, which moved everyone present.
Under the attention of everyone, the four brave men embarked on the journey again. Their backs gradually disappeared at the end of the road, leaving behind a string of firm footsteps and infinite hope.
"They will succeed, right?" A little boy asked his father, looking up with pure trust in his eyes.
"Of course, because they are our heroes." Father replied gently, his eyes also full of confidence in the future and respect for the warriors.
And at this moment, the distant sky seemed to respond to this belief. A warm light broke through the dark clouds and filled the entire land, illuminating the way forward for the brave men.
"They will definitely win, because their story has just begun." An old voice sounded in the crowd. It resonated in the hearts of everyone present. It was a brave welcome to the unknown and a belief that light will defeat darkness. Stand firm in your faith.
"Look, even the sky is blessing them!" an old woman sighed, her face filled with hope.
"Yes, with them here, what else can't we overcome?" the young man next to him said, his eyes shining with longing.
As the sound of horse hooves faded away, the village returned to tranquility again, but everyone's heart was no longer peaceful. Although the figures of the four Su and Mo have disappeared on the horizon, the stories they left behind are like seeds, taking root and sprouting in people's hearts, inspiring unprecedented courage and hope.
On the road leading to the royal city, four brave men galloped on their horses. Their moods were more exciting than the land under their horses' hooves.
"Is Beijing our next target? It sounds like the situation is urgent." Lin Hao frowned, with worry in his brows.
"Yes," the traveler took out an old map from the package and lightly traced a certain point in the north with his finger. "If what the messenger said is true, the key to our mission is hidden there."

"With the gathering of evil forces and the ominous omen in the sky, it feels like things are not simple." Jason held the reins tightly, his eyes firm, "But we will not back down."
Su Mo chuckled. Her smile contained both expectations for the future and fearlessness of challenges. "Indeed, the more difficult the task, the more it proves our value. What we have to do is to be prepared to meet everything."
The group of people met several groups of merchants and travelers during the journey, and their conversations inevitably revolved around these four brave men.
"Have you heard? Those four brave men are going to the north to fight against the evil forces!"
"Fighting the forces of evil? It sounds like a story from a fairy tale, but they do exist. We have seen it with our own eyes."
"I really hope I can stay with them, even for just one day, and feel the bravery and determination."
Such talk continued to circulate in the towns and villages they passed through, inspiring more people and causing the reputation of the four Su and Mo to spread quickly.
A few days later, when they finally arrived at the royal city, the towering city walls and busy city gates in front of them made everyone hold their breath. Entering the royal city, the crowd's discussion became more intense:
"Look over there, there are the brave men who saved the ancient city!"
"The king summoned them, there must be some important task!"
Su Mo stopped her horse and looked around. Those eyes of curiosity, awe, or admiration made her feel warm. She knew that this was not only for herself, but also for all those who believed that light would eventually defeat darkness.
Under the guidance of the guards, they arrived at the magnificent palace. The king was sitting on the throne, his face was serious, but there was unnoticeable worry in his eyes.
"Welcome, four warriors. I know you have just completed a difficult task, but new challenges are already waiting for us."
Su Mo took a step forward and spoke on behalf of everyone: "Your Majesty, please tell us what we need to do. No matter what, we will do our best."
The king took a deep breath and spoke in a heavy tone: "According to the ancient prophecy, when an ominous omen appears in the sky, the evil force in the north will rise and try to destroy the balance of the world. We need to find the remaining artifacts. They are the only ones that can completely seal the evil force. The key to strength.”
"So, when are we leaving?" Jason asked eagerly.
"Immediately," the king nodded, "time is tight, and I have prepared all the materials and information needed. Your success is related to the fate of the kingdom and even the entire world."
Under the watch of the king, the four of Su and Mo embarked on the journey again, their backs elongated in the golden sunshine of the royal city, and every step they took was determined and unyielding.
When they passed through the last city gate and were about to leave people's sight, a child's voice rang out in the crowd: "Will they bring back the light?"
The child's mother caressed his head and replied gently: "They will, because the hero's journey is always towards the light."
At this moment, the four brave men walked side by side, and their conversation marked a promising beginning for this adventure.
"This time, we will face not only the unknown, but also the fears and doubts in our hearts. But as long as we are together, there is no challenge that cannot be overcome."
Jason laughed, with an uninhibited voice: "Fear and doubt? That's part of the fun of the journey! Think about how we found a way out of a desperate situation last time."
The corners of Lin Hao's mouth raised, and a hint of slyness flashed in his eyes: "Yes, and this time we also have a mysterious prophecy and a series of unsolved mysteries. My brain has begun to crave those complicated puzzles."
The traveler tapped the stick in his hand, as if knocking on the door of knowledge, "Ancient prophecies, evil forces...these clues will lead us to deeper history and mysteries. We are the key to uncovering the world." Su Mo looked into the distance, With undying fighting spirit shining in his eyes, "We are each other's pillars and messengers of light. No matter what awaits us ahead, as long as we are connected, there will be no difficulty that cannot be overcome. (End of Chapter)
