"It seems that we have found the right place." Xu Mo said softly, his fingers gently tracing the complex textures, his eyes shining with wisdom.
Xiaojie looked around and found that several passers-by were watching them from a distance, their faces full of curiosity and surprise. "Look, someone is coming!" He pointed to the distance, where several plainly dressed villagers were approaching cautiously, their eyes full of awe and speculation.
"Are you... elementalists?" A bold young man spoke first, his voice filled with both nervousness and uncontrollable curiosity.
Lin Hao smiled and nodded, briefly introducing their purpose and experience. After hearing this, the villagers looked at each other in surprise and started talking about it.
"It turns out it's really the elemental messenger! The legendary hero appears in front of us!" An old man exclaimed. He quickly signaled to the surrounding villagers. Soon, more people came after hearing the news and formed a semicircle. His eyes were full of reverence and hope.
"Are you going to enter that door? Legend has it that there is great danger hidden inside, and there may also be endless treasures." A seemingly well-informed young man warned, with both warning and expectation in his tone.
"We know." Su Meier replied softly. The luminous flowers in her hand became brighter in the afterglow of dusk, as if to soothe everyone's worries, "But for the sake of this world, we must do this."
During the conversation, the ancient stone door suddenly vibrated slightly, and then slowly opened. A soft light overflowed from it, illuminating everyone's faces, bringing a warm and mysterious atmosphere.
The villagers were shocked and stepped back to make way for Lin Hao and his party. Under everyone's gaze, the four stepped into the door and entered an unknown world.
The space behind the door seems to be independent of the world. The strange vegetation, flowing light and shadow, and floating stone paths create scenes beyond imagination. They embarked on this road, and every step seemed extremely heavy, because they knew that the secrets of the world might be hidden ahead, and it might also be full of unpredictable dangers.
While walking, Su Meier said softly: "The beauty here is suffocating, but it also makes people feel a deep loneliness and loneliness, as if something is sleeping in this silence."
"What is sleeping may be the power of the past, or it may be the revelation of the future." Xu Mo replied thoughtfully, his eyes never leaving every detail around him.
"I have a feeling that we are about to get to the core of the truth." Xiaojie is gearing up, excited, and eager to try the upcoming challenge.
Lin Hao stopped, looked around, and said to his companions: "No matter what we encounter, we must remain calm and united, just like we have always been. Our mission is to find the light and protect this continent." < br>
As soon as he finished speaking, a melodious song floated from a distance. The sound was pure and mysterious, and seemed to contain ancient language and calls. The four of them looked at each other, and the excitement in their hearts was indescribable. It was a call from ancient times, and it was also a new chapter in their adventure.
"Follow the singing, maybe that's our guide." Lin Hao took the lead, and the four of them moved along the source of the sound, their hearts filled with anticipation and unknown tension.
And when they finally approached the source of the singing, the scene before them took their breath away - a huge crystal palace stood in front of them, and the light from the palace seemed to be connected to the stars and the sea, and the singing, It came from the center of the palace.
"It seems that we have found it." Su Meier said softly, her hands tightly holding the glowing flowers, as if she could draw strength from them.
"Next, it's time to unravel all the mysteries." Lin Hao stepped forward firmly, and they stepped into the crystal palace together, ready to face their destiny and challenges.
The interior of the palace is crystal clear, and the echo of every step is accompanied by a slight resonance. It seems that the palace itself is a huge musical instrument, playing the melody of the universe. As they deepened, the singing became clearer, but also more ethereal, as if they had crossed the boundaries of time and space.
"This song... seems to be telling a story." Xiaojie murmured to himself. He looked around at the exquisitely carved murals in the palace. Each painting recorded an ancient story. They were connected to each other and seemed to tell a grand story. epic.
"Indeed, every civilization has its own narrative method, and music and art are languages that span time." Xu Mo nodded in agreement, his eyes resting on a statue with a solemn face holding a staff. The statue's gaze It seemed like it had penetrated thousands of years, watching them.
Just as they were immersed in the wonders around them, a gentle but powerful voice broke the silence: "Welcome, elementalists, your journey is truly admirable."
The four of them turned around and saw a mysterious figure wearing a robe and a jewel-encrusted crown slowly walking towards them. His face was kind, but his eyes were as deep as the abyss, as if he could see into people's hearts.
"Are you... the guardian here?" Su Mei'er asked softly. Her intuition told her that this mysterious figure was anything but simple.
"I am the guardian of this holy place, and I am also the last one who remembers the meaning of these songs." The guardian replied with a smile, with a hint of sadness in his voice, "Your arrival is the key to the prophecy and the key to this world." The turning point.”
"Prophecy? Excuse me, what does this have to do with the outside world and the spreading shadows?" Lin Hao took a step forward, his eyes firm.
The guardian nodded slightly and pointed to a huge crystal in the center of the palace: "That song is the key to awakening the sleeping power. The ancient energy is sealed in this crystal, which is enough to resist any darkness, but it requires four elemental messengers. ”
Upon hearing this, the four people's expressions became serious. Xiaojie couldn't wait to ask: "So, how can we awaken this power?"
The guardian turned around and faced the center of the palace: "That requires the voice of each of your souls to resonate with the elements in this palace. When your wills come together, the real power will appear."
Following the guidance of the guardian, Lin Hao, Su Meier, Xu Mo and Xiaojie each stood at the positions representing their respective elements in the palace: fire, water, wind, and earth. They close their eyes, calm their minds, and try to connect with the elements around them.
The surrounding space began to tremble. As their inner songs slowly flowed, the surface of the crystal gradually glowed with light. The four colors of light intertwined to form a gorgeous rainbow bridge, connecting the crystal to the starry sky above.
"Did you see it? That is the light of hope." The guardian whispered, his voice full of relief, "You have proved that the light never leaves, it is just waiting to be awakened."
Just as the light reached its peak, an unprecedentedly powerful force was released from the crystal, instantly filling the entire palace and the bodies of the four elemental messengers. They opened their eyes, and their eyes shone with a completely different light than before.
"We did it..." Su Mei'er exclaimed, her fingers gently touching the surrounding light, as if touching the future.
"But this is just the beginning. We still need to bring this power back to the real world to fight against those shadows." Lin Hao clenched the sword in his hand, his voice full of firmness and determination.
The guardian smiled and nodded: "Go, elementalists. Remember, the real power lies not only in fighting the darkness, but also in protecting the light, as well as the hopes and dreams in people's hearts."
As they bid farewell to the Guardians and walked out of the magnificent Crystal Palace step by step, the light in the sky seemed to become more dazzling, as if it was guiding them on their way back, and it was also a preview of the upcoming decisive battle.
"There will definitely be many difficulties waiting for us on the way back." Xiaojie tightened the bag on his back, but there was no fear in his tone, "But this time, we no longer know nothing, we have each other, There is power given to us by this world.”
"Yes, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as we work together, there will be no difficulty that cannot be overcome." Su Meier added, and the luminous flowers in her hands became more dazzling under her belief.
"Then, friends, it's time for this world to witness the true power of elements." Xu Mo's words were full of confidence and expectation, and his eyes were shining with the light of exploring the unknown.
The four elemental messengers walk side by side, heading towards an unknown but hopeful tomorrow. They know that their legend has just begun.
Just as they were about to leave, a sudden strong wind swept over them, and the air around them seemed to freeze. Then, an old and solemn voice echoed in their ears: "Elemental messengers, the real test begins now."
Lin Hao and the other four turned around suddenly, and saw a hazy light and shadow emerging around the guardian. The light and shadow gradually revealed the image of an old man wearing ancient armor. He was holding a shining long sword, and his eyes were filled with emotion. With the vicissitudes of time and endless wisdom.
"You are..." Before Lin Hao finished speaking, the image of the old man disappeared, leaving only the voice echoing in the palace: "Remember, although the power of the elements is strong, the greatest power comes from inner persistence and persistence. Faith. Your journey will encounter unprecedented challenges. Only unyielding will and mutual trust can guide you forward. ”
"Challenge? What is it specifically?" Xiaojie's face was both excited and a little nervous.
"Everything has its own destiny, but you will not be alone." The guardian explained. He pointed to the door and saw that the villagers who had gathered before had gathered into a long team at some point. Everyone was holding a simple weapon. His expression was determined, as if he was ready to go to the battlefield with the elemental user.
"We are willing to follow the elemental messengers and protect our homeland!" The boy who had first spoken to them now stood at the front of the team and announced loudly, his voice full of determination.
Lin Hao and others looked at each other, a touch of emotion flashed in their eyes. Su Meier said softly: "It seems that we are not only fighting for ourselves, but also for those who believe in light and long for peace."
"Then, let us shoulder this trust and meet the challenge together!" Xu Mo's tone revealed a strong sense of mission. He looked at the guardian, "Excuse me, how should we start?"
The guardian slowly walked towards the alcove of the palace and gently touched a wall carved with complex patterns. The wall slowly moved away, revealing a stone platform full of strange runes. "This is an ancient teleportation array that can transport you directly to the core of the dark forces. But remember, once it is opened, whether you succeed or fail, you can only rely on yourself."
Looking at the teleportation array that exuded a faint light, the four of them exchanged resolute looks and nodded at the same time. "Then it's settled, we will bring back the light, for the world and for everyone who supports us."
Under the attention of everyone, the four people stepped onto the stone platform. The light shone brightly and a strong suction force enveloped them. Then, their figures disappeared into the light, leaving only the fading halo and the guardian. Deep blessing: "May the power of the elements be with you. When you return, the world will change because of you."
The villagers looked at the disappearing elemental messenger. Although they felt uneasy in their hearts, they were more filled with expectation and trust. The old man sighed again: "What amazing young people, they may really change our destiny."
At the moment when the elemental messengers disappeared, a deep voice sounded in the darkness outside the village, like the sneer of a night owl on a dead branch: "Elemental messengers... hum, no matter how powerful you are, you can't stand it in the face of absolute darkness. Just a tiny spark.”
The surrounding black mist was billowing, and several figures were looming, and the evil thoughts emanating from them made people shudder. One of them, wearing a black cloak, his face hidden in the shadows, slowly said: "However, such sparks make me look forward to it even more. After all, extinguishing the light of hope with your own hands is the most enjoyable game."
"My lord is right." The charming woman on the side smiled contemptuously, her red lips slightly parted, "Let those stupid mortals and so-called heroes see what the abyss of despair is."
"We don't need to take action ourselves," another cold voice joined in, a tall man holding a pair of chains that shone with an ominous light. "The minions of darkness are already ready to move, and they will clear the obstacles for us."
"Not bad." The man in black cloak nodded with satisfaction, "Then, let the game begin. Elementalist, I will wait for you at the end to see whether your light is better or my darkness will last forever. ”
The conversation in the darkness ended, and those figures quietly dissipated like smoke in the night wind. In the village, although people were unaware of the coming storm, there was more determination and courage in their eyes. A few days later, the elemental messengers appeared in a desolate land, surrounded by a land eroded by darkness. All life was in ruins and there was deathly silence. Facing the scene in front of him, Xiaojie couldn't help but clenched his fists, anger and grief intertwined: "Is this...the power of darkness?" (End of Chapter)
