Su Meier also took a step forward, with a bright light in her hand: "Darkness will eventually be dispelled by light!"
The battle breaks out again, this time more intense, every second filled with life-or-death tension. The female mage and the travelers used their magic with all their strength, and Xu Mo and the soldiers fought bravely. Under the combined power, the leader of the Dark Messenger was finally knocked down, and his figure disappeared in the blue light.
Just as the battlefield was being cleared, a bright light suddenly appeared deep in the cave, and an ancient book slowly emerged, recording mysterious magical knowledge.
"This may be the key to unlocking the source of pollution!" the female mage said excitedly.
Xu Mo nodded cautiously: "We need to study this book and find a solution to the problem."
"But, how many secrets are there hidden here?" Su Meier said hesitantly.
"No matter how much, we will reveal it step by step." Xu Mo firmly held her hand.
"Master Xu Mo, what should we do next?" a soldier asked.
"We need to return to the village, tell everyone what we found here, and at the same time continue to track the traces of the dark messenger." Xu Mo replied.
"Yes, we can't relax." Su Meier added.
A villager whispered: "Are there more dangers waiting for us?"
"Maybe, but we will not back down, because the light never ends." Xu Mo responded with a smile.
"Then, let's move on." Su Meier said firmly.
Everyone responded in unison, and voices full of expectation and confidence echoed in the cave.
During the long journey back, the team continued to encourage each other, and everyone had a burning fighting spirit. Xu Mo, Su Meier and others finally set foot on the road back to the village.
After rushing back to the village, the villagers came forward to greet him one after another, looking nervous but full of hope. The village chief asked hurriedly: "Have you found a solution?"
Xu Mo nodded and showed the ancient book: "This was found in the ruins. They may be helpful in solving the pollution."
The villagers gathered around them and discussed in low voices:
"I really hope there is a way to save us."
"Great, Lord Xu Mo really did not disappoint us!"
Su Meier clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention: "We need time to study this book. Please wait patiently and continue to be vigilant to prevent the enemy from coming back."
The villagers nodded and expressed their determination to work together for the future of the village.
A few nights later, in the village chief's old house, Xu Mo and Su Meier studied the ancient book day and night. They found that the magical records in the book were indeed very powerful, but interpreting and applying this knowledge required more time and energy.
Just then, a rapid knock on the door broke the tranquility of the night. Xu Mo opened the door and saw a villager standing at the door panting.
"Lord Xu Mo, I'm sorry. I just received the news that a nearby village also suffered the same attack. The water source was contaminated. They are in urgent need of help now!"
Xu Mo looked at Su Meier solemnly: "It seems that the enemy is not satisfied with just attacking a village. We must take action."
"Yes, we can't delay it any longer." Su Mei'er said firmly, "Xu Mo, let's split up. I'll stay here to continue studying this book, and you can lead the team to that village to provide assistance."

When they arrived at the neighboring village, everyone was shocked by what they saw. The wells in the village have been sealed off, and some villagers have begun to show symptoms and are in urgent need of medical treatment. When the village chief saw Xu Mo and others, he seemed to have seen the last hope and hurriedly came to greet them.
"Thank you for arriving in time, please save us!"
Xu Mo comforted: "Don't worry, we will do our best to help you."
The general organized the soldiers to immediately set up a temporary medical tent and sent out scouts to investigate the surrounding situation. However, just as they were investigating in depth, there was a sudden commotion in a forest not far away.
"There are people hiding there!" a scout shouted pointing in the direction of the woods.
Xu Mo took the lead and led several soldiers into the woods. Sure enough, they found several followers of the Dark Messenger whispering. One of them was a man who obviously looked like a leader. He was holding a dark rune in his hand. When he saw Xu Mo and his group, he immediately showed an expression of shock.
"How dare you follow us!" the leader roared.
Xu Mo responded coldly: "Your trick will not succeed, light will eventually defeat darkness!"
The battle broke out again, this time the enemy was obviously more cunning and cruel. They used weird runes and magic to constantly harass the team. However, Xu Mo and his warriors remained calm and tenacious, and gradually gained the upper hand through tacit cooperation.
After a fierce battle, they successfully defeated the followers of the Dark Messenger and obtained more clues about contaminated water sources from them. Before he died, the leader showed a weird smile and whispered: "No matter how hard you struggle, you can't change the general trend."
"What's the conspiracy?" the soldier roared angrily, but unfortunately the leader had already passed away.
Xu Mo and others returned to the village with new clues and met Su Meier. By exchanging information, they finally clarified some of the connections. It turns out that these dark messengers used an ancient ritual to pollute water sources through special runes, causing large-scale destruction, trying to guide the expansion of dark power in despair.
"I have almost cracked the secret in this book. We can use the counter magic in it to remove the pollution." Su Meier said happily.
"Great!" Xu Mo sighed.
"However, we still need that key magic material - the Purification Stone." Su Mei'er added.
"Purification Stone? Where can we find that rare treasure?" the soldier asked anxiously.
The general looked at the map, frowned and said: "As far as I know, this rare purification stone can only exist in the Temple of Light not far from here. But it has been in disrepair and is full of dangers."
Xu Mo thought for a moment and said firmly: "No matter what, we must give it a try, for everyone's future."
"Yes, let's go to the Temple of Light to retrieve the Purification Stone together!" Su Meier clenched her fists.
Everyone responded in unison: "We are willing to follow you and face challenges together!"
Adventure in the Temple of Light
A new journey is about to begin. This time, facing unknown dangers and huge challenges, Xu Mo and his team did not retreat. They understand that only by finding the Purification Stone can they completely solve the pollution problem and save the threatened villages.
Before embarking on the journey to the Temple of Light, Su Meier said to Xu Mo: "We must unite and overcome all difficulties."
"Yes," Xu Mo responded firmly, holding her hand, "The light will always usher in the dawn of victory."
The team is ready to go, and everyone is full of fighting spirit. The secrets hidden in the Temple of Light will be the key to determining their fate.
Just as they were about to set off, a soldier suddenly ran over and said with a heavy breath: "Lord Xu Mo, there is a stranger waiting for you ahead. He said he knows some important information about the Temple of Light."
When Xu Mo heard this, he frowned and said to Su Meier: "It seems that we have to go and see this stranger. Maybe he can provide some valuable clues."
Everyone walked towards the entrance of the village and saw a figure standing there in the distance. He was wearing a shabby cloak, his face hidden in the shadow of the hood, and his expression could not be seen clearly. The surrounding villagers whispered:
"Who is he? Why did he appear suddenly?" "Do you think he is a spy of the Dark Messenger?" "I don't know, but this person doesn't look simple."
Xu Mo walked up to the man and asked calmly: "Who are you? Why do you say you know information about the Temple of Light?"
The man raised his head, revealed a pair of sharp eyes, and said: "I am Allen, a wandering scholar. I have explored near the Temple of Light and know something about it."
When Su Meier heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes: "Mr. Allen, do you know where the Purification Stone is?"
Allen nodded and said: "I know some clues, but the Temple of Light is now perilous and full of unknown dangers. If you really want to go there, I am willing to lead the way and assist you. But you must agree to me a condition .”
Xu Mo's eyes were full of vigilance: "What conditions?"
Allen took a deep breath and said: "I need you to help me find my long-lost sister. She may also be trapped by the dark power. I have been looking for her."
Xu Mo and Su Meier looked at each other and saw some hesitation on both sides, but finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, we promise you that as long as you find the Purification Stone, we will also help you find your sister."
Allen breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully: "Thank you, I believe cooperation can achieve a win-win situation."
As a result, the team added new members and embarked on a journey to the Temple of Light. Along the way, Allen told everyone about the rumors and history of the Temple of Light, and at the same time shared some of the secrets and runes he had collected to provide more methods and preparations for their adventures.
When night fell, they finally arrived at the outskirts of the Temple of Light. Although this magnificent architectural relic appears to be in disrepair, it still has a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.
"This is the main entrance to the Temple of Light." Allen whispered, "We must proceed with caution."
Someone among the soldiers whispered uneasily: "This place looks like a trap. I don't know how many terrifying things are hidden inside."
"Be quiet," Xu Mo shouted sternly, "No matter what the difficulty is, we have to face it."
When everyone entered the temple, their eyes suddenly opened up. However, suddenly, a bright light flashed through, making it almost impossible to open one's eyes. Immediately afterwards, various strange sounds echoed in the ears, making people shudder.
"What kind of monster is this!" a soldier exclaimed.
I saw a group of ghost-like guards appearing all around, floating in the air, with a cold light shining in their eyes. Allen immediately shouted: "Be careful, these are the guardians of the Temple of Light, they will not let us pass easily."
"Everyone, get ready to fight!" Xu Mo shouted, taking the lead, the sword in his hand dancing with cold light.
The warriors formed a defensive formation, while the mages continued to cast magic in the rear, forming a powerful system that combined attack and defense. Allen used his knowledge to guide them on how to effectively fight these ghost guards, while constantly explaining various ancient spells and runes.
Although the ghost guards were powerful, they gradually retreated under the combined efforts of everyone. Just when victory was about to come, a ghost guard suddenly let out a weird laugh: "Stupid humans, do you think you can easily obtain the Stone of Purification in this way? The real test is yet to come!"
Before he finished speaking, his figure disappeared instantly, and the entire temple suddenly trembled. A huge gap opened in the ground, and a swirling abyss appeared before everyone's eyes.
Su Meier exclaimed: "This is a teleportation array?!"
Xu Mo held the sword tightly and said solemnly: "It seems that we have no choice but to enter this abyss."
Allen nodded and said: "The teleportation array is connected to the core area of the temple. Only by passing through it can we find the Purification Stone."
After a brief adjustment, everyone jumped into the abyss whirlpool one by one. In an instant, they felt as if their whole bodies were wrapped in twisted power, as if they had traveled through time and space. Everything in front of them became blurry, and finally they landed in a radiant hall.
There is a crystal clear stone suspended in the center of the hall, which is the stone of purification!
However, the road leading to the stone was blocked by a complex rune formation, and anyone who tried to get close would be pushed away by the powerful rebound force. Allen checked it and looked solemn: "These rune formations are extremely mysterious and require a series of puzzles to be solved."
Xu Mo said firmly: "We have no retreat. For the future of everyone, we must do our best to solve these mysteries."
Just as they were preparing to take action, another figure slowly walked out of the darkness. It was a mysterious figure wearing a black robe. He said in a cold tone: "I want to use mortal wisdom to decipher these rune formations." ? What a wishful thinking.”
Xu Mo clenched the sword in his hand and looked at the man: "Who are you?"
The mysterious man sneered: "I am the senior priest of the Dark Order, responsible for guarding the Stone of Purification. All your efforts will eventually be in vain."
Su Meier's eyes were firm and she responded: "No matter who you are, we will never give up!"
The priest sneered, waved his hand, and a burst of dark energy rushed towards everyone. Suddenly, the battle broke out again, and the scene was extremely dangerous. The team members defended while trying to find a way to break the runes.
Allen shouted hurriedly: "We must work together to decipher these runes, otherwise we will never be able to get close to the Purification Stone!"
"Okay, I'll cover you!" Xu Mo waved his sword to block the priest's attack, while the warriors and mages behind him quickly started operating according to Allen's instructions. The runes were analyzed one by one, the light gradually dimmed, and the protective barrier of the Purification Stone began to loosen. When the priest saw that his blockage was gradually failing, he shouted angrily: "You stupid guys, how dare you challenge the majesty of darkness!" (End of Chapter)
