At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps interrupted their conversation, and an assistant to the village chief ran over with a hurried expression: "Oh no, abnormal spiritual power fluctuations were found in the east of the village. It seems that there is something there. Ready to move!”
Everyone looked stern, and Lin Hao immediately asked: "What are the details? Are there any casualties?"
"No villagers have been harmed so far, but we are worried that there are new cracks in the seal." The assistant answered anxiously.
"We must go and check immediately." Ling Shuang decided decisively and turned to face everyone, "Every second counts. Su Meier and I will go over first to stabilize the situation. Lin Hao, take the boy and the sacred object and immediately organize the villagers for emergency evacuation. Drill.”
"Okay, let's take action now." Lin Hao nodded, with unquestionable determination in his eyes.
As Ling Shuang and Su Meier's speeding figures disappeared into the night, Lin Hao organized the villagers and began preparations quickly and orderly. The young man followed closely behind him. Although he was worried, he was determined to participate.
In the east of the village, Ling Shuang and Su Meier arrived at the scene and saw a chaotic spiritual power raging in the air. The cracks on the ground were like wounds torn open by giant beasts, and they were terrifying. The onlookers couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw the two people arriving.
"Look, it's the heroine who can control the elements!"
"And her companions, the legendary Paladins! With them here, we have hope!"
Ling Shuang took a deep breath, spread her arms, and chanted an ancient spell. Circles of light blue halo surrounded her body, filling the cracks on the ground bit by bit. Su Meier, on the other hand, waved the staff in her hand, releasing a soft light to soothe the restless spiritual power.
"Believe us, everything will be fine." Su Meier assured the villagers, her voice warm and powerful.
On the other side, Lin Hao took the boy and the holy object through the tense evacuated crowd. The boy looked at Lin Hao's calm command, and admiration arose in his heart. "When I grow up, I want to be a hero like you." He said softly.
A smile appeared on Lin Hao's lips, "You are already, young man. Courage and determination are more precious than any strength."
As the night progresses, the bonfires in the village gradually extinguish, but the black clouds in the distance have not dispersed, indicating that a greater test is coming. But at this moment, everyone has a common belief in their hearts - if we work together, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.
"Tomorrow will be a new day." Su Mo said softly, looking at the darkening sky, her eyes shining with infinite hope for the future.
"Yes, a new day, a new beginning." Ling Shuang responded, her voice firm and her eyes burning, as if she had already drawn a blueprint for facing unknown challenges in her heart.
At this time, an elderly villager slowly walked up to Ling Shuang and pointed at the ominous clouds in the sky with trembling fingers: "What is that? It doesn't feel like it was formed naturally."
Ling Shuang patted the old man's shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, old man, we will take care of it. This is our duty as guardians." Hearing this, passers-by looked at the few warriors, although they still had doubts in their hearts. The firm back made me feel a little relieved.
While everyone was talking, Su Meier hurried back from the east of the village with a solemn face: "The situation is more complicated than imagined. There seems to be a powerful force surging under the cracks. We must take measures immediately."

"I have an idea," Lin Hao suddenly said, with piercing eyes, "If we can use the light power of the holy object to guide and stabilize that power, we may be able to temporarily seal the cracks."
After hearing this, the young man's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to interrupt: "I can help! Although I don't know how to fight, I can deliver messages or do some auxiliary work."
Lin Hao nodded happily and patted the young man on the shoulder: "Good boy, your courage is commendable! Then you are responsible for assisting Su Meier in preparing the magic circle. We need to be fast and precise."
As the plan was formulated, intense and orderly preparations began. Su Mo and Ling Shuang discussed in depth how to use the power of holy objects to ensure that their actions are foolproof. The night is getting darker, and there is a sense of urgency in the air that a storm is coming, but the people in the village, led by the four warriors, show an indescribable unity and determination.
"Look!" A young villager suddenly pointed to the sky and exclaimed. He saw a bright light escaping from the holy object, just like the morning sun breaking through the night sky, and the ominous black cloud seemed to be dispersed a little.
"This is the recognition of the Heart of Light!" Su Mei'er said excitedly, her eyes slightly red, which was moved by hope.
"It's time." Su Mo's voice was low and powerful. The four of them looked at each other. There was no need to say anything, the tacit understanding was clear.
The scenes that followed were in an atmosphere of tension and hope. Each of the four people played a vital role, and the encouragement and support of the villagers could be heard endlessly:
"Come on! You are the best!"
"Protect our heroes!"
"Light will prevail!"
Amidst the noise and excitement, Lin Hao, Su Meier, Su Mo and Ling Shuang took their places respectively. The holy object was placed in the center, surrounded by complex runes and light. As the spell was cast, a warm and powerful energy spurted out from the holy object and slowly flowed into the cracks on the ground. The originally turbulent spiritual power gradually calmed down, and the cracks seemed to be temporarily contained.
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief and thought the crisis was over, an old and majestic voice penetrated the night sky and echoed throughout the village: "Well done, but the real challenge has just begun."
Everyone looked up in astonishment and saw an old man in a cloak walking slowly, his eyes shining with the light of insightful wisdom: "I am the guardian of ancient books. Your actions have touched the ancient prophecies. The road to the future, It will be full of unknowns and difficulties.”
Su Mo took a step forward with a solemn expression: "So, what should we do?"
The old man smiled slightly and left a meaningful sentence: "The real power comes from the light in your heart and the trust between you. Remember, when darkness covers the world, the heart of light will guide you forward."< br>
After saying that, the old man's figure gradually disappeared, as if he had never appeared before, leaving everyone standing there with mixed feelings in their hearts.
"What does this mean?" The young man murmured to himself, looking at Lin Hao and others with confusion in his eyes.
Lin Hao looked back at the crowd with firm eyes: "No matter what is waiting for us ahead, as the old man said, as long as we have a bright mind and trust each other, there is nothing we can't overcome."
The night fell into silence again, and the experience of that night, like the stars, left a deep mark on everyone's heart. They know that it is always darkest before dawn, but they also firmly believe that light will eventually come.
"Yes, Lin Hao is right." Su Meier added gently, with a strength that cannot be ignored in her voice, "Every challenge is an opportunity for growth, and we have proven the power of unity. Next, as long as We continue to walk together and overcome whatever trials the prophecies reveal.”
Ling Shuang clenched her fists, eyes burning with unyielding flames, "No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, we are not alone. The appearance of that mysterious old man may be the guidance given to us by fate. Let us be prepared to welcome All that is coming.”
Su Mo looked into the distance. There seemed to be infinite possibilities hidden in the night. "Indeed, the unknown is always accompanied by fear, but it is also accompanied by opportunities. Now that we have embarked on this road, we will move forward fearlessly. Tomorrow, let us do it again Set off, explore the unknown, and protect this land.”
The initial timidity in the young man's eyes was gone, replaced by desire and determination for the unknown, "I will work harder and learn how to be a true guardian. No matter what happens, I will fight side by side with everyone."
At this time, an old woman passing by heard their conversation, stopped and said with emotion: "It's really exciting, young people. In this era full of challenges, your courage and belief are A beacon for all of us. Please persevere, for this land and for each of us.”
The surrounding villagers also joined the conversation one after another, and their words were full of encouragement and support:
"Yes, children, your bravery and sacrifice spirit are our greatest pride!" "With you here, we have hope. Please protect yourself, for tomorrow, and for our children."
In the midst of this encouragement and expectation, Lin Hao raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, "We have received your thoughts and feel the responsibility on our shoulders. Please believe that we will not disappoint your expectations. But now, please go back to At home, rest well, because we will need your strength tomorrow. ”
The crowd gradually dispersed and the night deepened, but the air was no longer just filled with tension and uneasiness, but more with the warmth and determination of unity. The four warriors gathered together and looked at the villagers gradually dispersing, feeling an unprecedented sense of mission in their hearts.
"Tomorrow, a new sunrise, a new challenge." Su Mo said softly.
"And we will face it together." Ling Shuang's words were full of power.
"Yes, no matter what the road ahead is, we are together." Su Meier chuckled, with stars and a sea in her eyes.
"Then it's decided." Lin Hao nodded, his eyes bright, "Tomorrow, we will continue to move forward not only for ourselves, but also for this village and this world."
The conversation drifted gently in the night wind. Under the starlight, the four figures looked particularly determined, as if no wind or rain could shake their will. In the silence, a small voice suddenly sounded from the corner. It was the young man, with a strange light shining in his eyes: "I have a question. What should we do if we really encounter insurmountable difficulties?" Do it?”
Su Mei'er smiled, walked to the young man's side, and gently put her hand on his shoulder: "At that time, we will think back to tonight and the strength and trust that everyone has given us. Remember, no challenge exists in isolation. We Not alone.”
Ling Shuang followed closely behind, her voice filled with unshakable faith: "Moreover, we must believe in our own growth. What seems impossible today may become easy tomorrow with our efforts."
Su Mo looked into the distance and said in a profound tone: "What's more important is that we always keep the heart of learning and adapting. Every setback is to make us stronger."
Lin Hao looked around at his friends, and finally his eyes fell on the young man, and said seriously: "Young man, the real brave man is not fearless, but the one who can move forward bravely even if he is afraid. Let's go for the road ahead together."
The young man nodded vigorously, his eyes flashing with determination and longing. He seemed to have truly become the hero of his dreams at that moment.
Just as the conversation gradually subsided and the surrounding night returned to silence again, a subtle but extremely clear sound came from outside the village, breaking the silence. It was a strange vibration that made everyone alert instantly.
"What is that sound?" the boy blurted out, his face full of nervousness.
The villagers also walked out of their homes one after another, whispering and looking at each other, and the uneasy atmosphere filled the air again.
Ling Shuang clenched the sword in her hand, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Get ready to fight. It seems that our rest time will end early."
Su Meier quickly took out the staff, and the light gathered on her fingertips again: "I tried to sense it to see if something was approaching."
After a moment, Su Meier's face became more serious: "It's them, those dark creatures that only appear in legends, they are really here."
As soon as this statement came out, the crowd exploded and talked a lot:
"Dark creatures? How could they appear here!"
"Is the prophecy of the guardian of ancient books about to come true so soon?"
"What do we do? Can these kids handle a threat like that?"
Lin Hao stepped forward and announced loudly: "Villagers, now is not the time to panic. We must unite and act according to the plan. My companions and I will try our best to stop them, but we need your help to protect ourselves , to provide support for the battle.”
When everyone heard Lin Hao's words, although they still had many doubts in their hearts, they still chose to believe in the four warriors in front of them. They quickly returned home and prepared defenses as they had practiced before.
At this time, a young mother hugged her baby tightly and prayed in a low voice: "Please protect us, guardians."
"Don't worry, we will protect you until the end." Lin Hao's voice was firm and warm, echoing in her ears like an invisible shield, giving everyone great comfort.
As the night gets darker, the creatures in the darkness gradually reveal their true form. They have different shapes, their eyes exude a frightening light, and they approach the village step by step. The four of Lin Hao took their positions and formed a solid line of defense.
"Are you ready?" Lin Hao asked in a deep voice. "Always be prepared!" the three of them said in unison, with a fierce fighting spirit. (End of chapter)
