Carlos was as taciturn as ever, but his eyes and the hand holding the Sword of Courage silently declared his determination. The remaining traces of dragon flames on the blade seemed to tell of the glory of the past, and also foreshadowed that the future battle would be more intense.
The decision of the four warriors spread quickly throughout the kingdom, and people's conversations in the streets all revolved around the journey they were about to embark on. In front of a small shop, several old people sat together. One of them, an old man with white hair and beard, sighed: "It's great to be young, always full of passion and fearless. May the God of Light bless them, and hope that their Courage can inspire more young people.”
A woman weaving next to her said, "Yes, my son has been pestering me recently to listen to the stories of the warriors. He said that he would also become a messenger of light when he grows up. These four warriors have become The idol of many children.”
While people were discussing the feats of the four warriors, a grand honor awarding ceremony was held as scheduled in the royal city. In the splendid hall, four warriors stood in the center, accepting admiration and praise from all directions. The king himself awarded them the Medal of Honor and announced their upcoming mission to the Shadowlands.
"Four warriors, you are not only the glory of the kingdom, but also the hope of all mankind. The exploration of the Shadow Land will be full of unknowns and dangers, but I believe that the light will always guide your way forward." The king's words were sonorous and powerful. , full of expectations.
Su Mo accepted this mission on behalf of everyone. His voice was firm and full of confidence: "Thank you for your majesty's trust and all the people's support. We will set off with everyone's hope, no matter how bumpy the road ahead, the fire of light, Never go out.”
After the ceremony, under the watch of the people, the four warriors once again embarked on the journey to the Shadow Land. Along the way, people continued to join the farewell team. They were either ordinary villagers or people who had been helped by the warriors. They all expressed their support and blessings in their own way.
Until the gate of the city, an old woman handed each warrior a bouquet of flowers. Her eyes were full of tears: "Children, take these flowers with you. Although they are insignificant, I hope they can bring a blessing to your journey." A little color. Please come back safely.”
"Thank you, we will definitely do it." Su Mo smiled and took the flowers, with warmth surging in his heart. These are not just a few bouquets of flowers, but also the eternal light in the hearts of countless people in this land.
Looking at the retreating figures of the four warriors, the crowd gradually dispersed, but the spark ignited by heroic feelings quietly spread in everyone's heart. The little beggar stood in the corner of the city gate, holding the bread he got from the landlady in his hand. His eyes followed the footsteps of the warriors until they disappeared at the end of the horizon.
"Little brother, do you also want to be that kind of hero?" A vicissitudes of voice sounded behind the little beggar. It was an old soldier. The old armor and scars on his body told that he had experienced countless battles.
The little beggar turned around, his eyes shining with dream: "Yes, I want to be someone who can protect others."
The old soldier smiled and patted the little beggar on the shoulder: "Courage and dreams are the first steps to becoming a hero. Remember, real power not only comes from weapons and magic, but also from your heart."< br>
"Heart?" the little beggar asked doubtfully.
"That's right, it's the heart." The old soldier's eyes became profound. "When you truly want the world to be better and are willing to sacrifice for others, even the weakest person can have the power to change the world."

The little beggar nodded thoughtfully, and at that moment, his eyes became more determined.
At the same time, on the edge of the Shadowlands, the four warriors are facing unprecedented challenges. The dense black forest seems to be entangled with life, and every step is accompanied by unknown crises. The mirror of wisdom in Su Mo's hand flickered on and off, reflecting the danger lurking ahead.
"This is the entrance to the Land of Shadows." Jason looked around, clenching the giant sword in his hand, alert to the movements around him.
"Indeed, the reaction of the Mirror of Wisdom told me that the secrets here are much more complicated than we imagined." Lin Hao followed closely, the Mirror of Wisdom spinning in his hand, releasing a soft light, trying to penetrate the surrounding Mist.
"Are you ready? We may have to face those legendary monsters soon." Carlos' sword of courage was gently drawn out, and the dragon flames jumped on the blade, as if he was eager for the upcoming battle.
"Be ready at any time." Su Mo replied briefly. His eyes passed through the darkness, as if he had seen the other side of the light.
At this moment, a series of strange roars came from the depths of the forest, breaking the silence around him. The four warriors quickly gathered and stood back to back in a circle, preparing to face the unknown enemy.
"It seems that the welcome ceremony is warmer than expected." Jason said half-jokingly, but the hand holding the sword did not relax at all.
"No matter what it is, nothing can stop us from moving forward." Lin Hao said firmly, and the light of the mirror of wisdom became even more dazzling, as if in response to his determination.
At this moment, the surging shadows in the forest gathered together and took shape, and a huge shadow beast slowly walked out. Its eyes were like abyss, staring at the four warriors with an ancient and profound malice.
"Come on, let's see what secrets are hidden in the Land of Shadows." Su Mo took a step forward, the long sword in his hand shining in the sun, like a messenger of light.
The battle was about to break out, and the roars of the shadow beasts and the shouts of the warriors intertwined, resounding throughout the Shadow Land. In the distance, the little beggar is walking forward step by step along the path walked by the warriors. The same flame is burning in his heart, which is the desire for light and the exploration of the unknown.
In the tavern, people are still discussing the heroic deeds of the four warriors, and they have unlimited expectations for the future.
"Do you think they will succeed?" asked a young traveler.
The landlady smiled, and her eyes seemed to have traveled through time: "As long as there is light in the heart, there is no place that cannot be reached. The four warriors taught us that there is a beam of light in everyone's heart, which is enough to illuminate the whole world."
"Look, even the cats and dogs on the street corner seem to know their names. The legends of the warriors are quietly changing the world." A vendor sighed to the customers next to him. His stall was filled with symbols. Wearing the badges of the four warriors, the children gathered around to watch.
The children were chattering and discussing, and one of the children's eyes flashed with admiration: "When I grow up, I want to be a hero like Brother Su Mo, who illuminates the darkness with wisdom and courage!"
"Oh, you little guys, it's good to be ambitious, but don't forget the sweat and hard work behind the heroes." A mother who was shopping for goods reminded her with a smile, her eyes full of love and encouragement.
While everyone was immersed in praising the warriors, in the forest outside the city, the battle between the four warriors and the shadow beasts had entered a fever pitch. Every swing of the shadow beast carried power enough to shake the earth, but the four warriors relied on their tacit cooperation and their own specialties to resist every attack.
"Hold on, we can't fall here!" Su Mo shouted. His Mirror of Wisdom emitted a dazzling light, deflecting a fierce attack from the Shadow Beast and gaining valuable breathing space for his teammates.
"Come on, show all your strength!" Jason roared, his muscles swelled in anger, and every time he swung his sword, he cut the air, making a tearing roar.
"Wisdom tells me that its weakness is..." Lin Hao observed every movement of the shadow beast intently, and the light of the mirror of wisdom gradually focused, as if revealing the hidden secret.
Carlos waited silently for the best opportunity. His sword of courage became even more intense under the dragon's flames, which represented his endless desire and absolute belief in victory.
Just as the Shadow Beast roared again, preparing to launch a fatal blow, the four warriors seemed to have a connected mind and launched an offensive at the same time. Su Mo used the Mirror of Wisdom to guide a chain of light, restraining the movement of the shadow beast; Jason's giant sword hit like a meteorite, severely damaging its vitals; Lin Hao took the opportunity to shine the mirror light, blinding the shadow beast directly. One of the eyes; Carlos jumped up at the critical moment, pierced the heart with the sword of courage, and the dragon flames engulfed the shadow beast's body, turning it into ashes.
After the battle, the surrounding darkness seemed to be dispersed, and the sun shone through the leaves, warm and bright. The four warriors supported each other, breathing heavily but unable to conceal the joy of victory.
"We did it. The first test of the Shadow Land has been overcome." Su Mo said happily, and the Mirror of Wisdom slowly extinguished in his hands, as if to declare the victory of the first stage.
"But this is just the beginning. There must be more unknown challenges deep in the Shadow Land." Jason looked around vigilantly, still holding the giant sword in his hand, not daring to slack off at all.
"No matter what we encounter, we have to face it together." Lin Hao's voice was full of determination, and the mirror of wisdom rotated gently, as if collecting clues to the next puzzle.
Carlos showed a rare smile and patted the others on the shoulders: "Yes, we are each other's light, and darkness cannot separate us."
At this moment, they seemed to be able to feel the warmth from afar, which was the belief and expectation of the people, and also the motivation for them to keep moving forward. Just as they were about to continue deeper into the Shadow Land, Su Mo suddenly stopped, and the Mirror of Wisdom trembled slightly in his hand, as if he sensed something.
"Wait a minute, there is a sound...where does it come from?" Su Mo stared at the mirror of wisdom, and a blurry figure appeared in the mirror, approaching them quickly.
"Whether it is friend or foe, we will know soon." Jason clenched his giant sword, preparing to meet the unknown comer.
At this time, in the distant royal city, the little beggar was embarking on his own journey, holding the bread given by the landlady in his hand, and his heart was full of hope and determination. One day in the future, perhaps he will fight side by side with these four great warriors and write their bright chapter together.
"Little brother, your journey has just begun. Remember, everyone has a chance to be his own hero." The old soldier's words echoed in the little beggar's ears, inspiring him to keep moving forward.
At this point in the story, the fates of the four warriors and the little beggar are intertwined. Their adventure has just begun. The secrets of the Shadow Land, unknown powerful enemies, and the persistent pursuit of light will be woven into a series of stories. A legend that makes people's blood boil.
"Yes, everyone can be his own hero." The little beggar whispered, as if he was responding to the old soldier's teachings and making a promise to himself. He looked up into the distance, his eyes shining with unyielding light. Even if the road under his feet was full of thorns, it could not stop him from pursuing the light.
At this time, deep in the Shadow Land, four warriors sat around a slightly flat rock, taking a short rest. There was still the smell of fighting in the air, but their eyes were firmer, full of anticipation for the next challenge.
"Everything we do is for those who still live in fear." Lin Hao stroked the mirror of wisdom, and what was reflected in the mirror was his desire for peace and his vision for the future.
"That's right, and we are happy with this heavy burden." Jason's voice was rich and powerful, and his words were full of trust in his partners and recognition of the mission.
Su Mo took out a yellowed map from his arms, marking areas of the Land of Shadows that no one had ever set foot on. "The next direction may be more dangerous. But if we have each other, there are infinite possibilities."
Carlos gently blew out the remaining flames on the tip of the sword, and a gentle light flashed in his eyes. "Also, those people who silently support us behind the scenes. Every step we take is their hope."
Just as the four of them were discussing their next action plan, rapid footsteps suddenly came from the forest in the distance, and then, a young and slightly panicked voice broke the calm.
"Warriors, please help us! Our village has been attacked by unknown creatures. Many people are injured and the situation is critical!" A young man in ragged clothes ran over, his face full of fear and despair.
"Take us there!" The four of them stood up almost at the same time without hesitation. For them, protecting the innocent is the meaning of their journey.
As they headed to the village together, along the way, more and more villagers heard about the arrival of the warriors and rushed over. There was both surprise and hope in their eyes, and they were talking one after another:
"Look, those are the warriors who defeated the Shadow Beast!"
"I can't believe it, the legendary hero appears right in front of us."
"Mom, I want to be as brave as them when I grow up!" The children's eyes were full of admiration for the warriors, while the adults had mixed emotions of gratitude and awe. In the words and expressions of these passers-by, the images of the four warriors became more three-dimensional. Their existence not only represented strength, but also became a beacon in people's hearts. (End of chapter)
