"This is not only power, but also responsibility." He murmured to himself and turned to look at his companions. Their eyes also reflected the light of the holy weapon, which was a tacit understanding and determination that transcended words.
Just as the atmosphere reached its peak, a weak but clear voice broke the sacred silence: "But, does the awakening of the sacred instrument also indicate the approach of some kind of crisis?"
It was Xu Mo. His words made everyone present fall into deep thought, even the tribal elders were no exception.
"Child, you are right. The awakening of the holy vessel is often accompanied by the test of the world." The elder's words revealed vicissitudes of life, but there was also a firmness that cannot be ignored, "But as long as we Nothing is insurmountable if we unite as one."
The four of them looked at each other and smiled. That smile contained understanding, trust, and determination to face unknown challenges.
"So, elder, can you tell us more about this upcoming test?" Su Meier's voice was gentle but firm. She knew that knowing more information was crucial for the rest of the journey.
"The ancient prophecy mentioned that when the sacred vessels of light and darkness merge again, a forgotten shadow will awaken from the abyss and attempt to devour the world." The elder's narrative caused whispers from the surrounding tribe members , fear and uneasiness began to spread.
"Who is the shadow...?" A trace of fighting spirit flashed between Yan Xin's brows. He was always the first to face challenges.
"It was a terrifying existence from ancient times. Its name has been lost in the dust of history, but its return will definitely bring disaster." The elder's eyes were covered with a layer of melancholy, as if Witnessed that dark history with my own eyes.
"How do we deal with such an enemy?" Allen asked everyone's thoughts. As the core of the team, he must be prepared for every next step.
"The answer is hidden in the holy artifacts. The Sword of Light and the Shield of Darkness are not only tools for fighting, but also the key to guiding us to victory. You must learn how to use these two powers harmoniously. Only in this way, Only then can we find a way to defeat the shadow." The elder's words were like a beacon, illuminating the way forward.
The four of them were silent for a moment, each thinking about the elder's words. Later, Allen took the lead in speaking: "Elder, thank you for your guidance. We are willing to accept this mission. Now, please tell us how to start."
"Okay, follow me." The elder turned around and led them towards A hidden entrance to the side of the altar. As the team deepened, they came to a secret room filled with ancient documents and sacred objects, the most conspicuous of which was a huge mural depicting an intertwined pattern of light and darkness.
“This mural is a clue to unlocking the deep power of the sacred artifacts. You must pass a series of trials to let your hearts resonate with the sacred artifacts and understand their essence. Only in this way can the power of the sacred artifacts be revealed. Only then can we be fully released and help you fight against the coming threats." The elder pointed at the mural and spoke earnestly.
"The trial... doesn't sound easy." Xu Mo chuckled, but his eyes were full of eagerness to try.
"It is indeed not easy, but you are not alone." The elder clapped his hands, and several elders from the tribe walked out from behind the door. They held various treasures in their hands, "These are the sacred objects that we have guarded for generations. They are I will help you pass the trial.”
With the blessings and expectations of everyone in the tribe, the four people accepted these sacred objects and embarked on a journey to explore the mysteries of themselves and the sacred objects. With the completion of each trial, the cooperation between them became more and more tacit, and a deep connection was established between the sacred artifact and them. It was not only an improvement in strength, but also a transformation of the soul.
Until one day, when the last trial was completed, the sacred vessels glowed with unprecedented brilliance. They seemed to be celebrating the growth and awakening of their masters.
“We did it!” Flameheart cheered, and the Dark Shield in his hand shone softly in response to his joy.
"But this is just the beginning." Allen reminded, his eyes firmly looking into the distance, where a storm was quietly brewing.
"Yes, the storm is coming, but we are no longer who we were when we set out." Xu Mo's words were full of meaning, and the light of wisdom flashed in his eyes.
"No matter what the future holds, as long as we are together, there will be no difficulty that cannot be overcome." Su Meier's voice was gentle but firm, and her words were like a warm current, warming everyone's heart.
"Indeed, we are no longer brave men walking alone, but guardians who support each other." Allen's words echoed in the secret room, and the figures of his partners were even more determined under the glow of the sacred artifact. .
At this time, a young tribal youth, with a totem representing admiration and learning painted on his face, timidly said: "Excuse me, how are you adults going to face the forgotten shadow? Our tribe is willing to devote all our energy to it. I will do my best to support you.”
Su Meier Wei. Smiling, he responded gently: "Thank you for your support. First, we need time to fully master the power of the holy artifact and find more allies who can fight against the shadows with us. The real battle has not yet begun, but everyone who is willing to lend a hand A helping hand is precious. ”
On the side, Xu Mo was carefully observing the documents in his hands. His brows occasionally furrowed, as if he was studying some important information. "Perhaps, we can find more clues in ancient books to understand the weaknesses of that ancient existence and how the warriors in the past resisted it. History will always repeat itself, but it will always leave the key to defeat it."
Yan Xin patted his chest and smiled boldly: "Don't forget, we There is also this eternal flame and an indestructible shield! No matter how powerful the shadow is, let us tell it with practical actions that the balance between light and darkness is not easily broken."
Four! While people were discussing, the tribal elders slowly walked forward, holding a simple map in their hands. "This marks the location of some ancient ruins. It is said to be the front line of the past struggle against shadows. Perhaps, more secret weapons or allies against the unknown existence can be found there."
Alan continued He passed the map, looked at it carefully, then nodded and said: "Then, we will split up. Xu Mo and I will investigate these ruins and find The answer of history; Su Meier and Yan Xin continue to deepen their connection with the sacred artifact, while looking for possible allies in the surrounding areas. We must not only improve ourselves, but also pave the way for the upcoming war."
< br>"Agree." Three firm replies gathered in the secret room, and the four people's eyes were full of trust in each other and fearlessness for the future.
Just as they were about to leave and embark on their respective missions, the hurried footsteps and shouts of a young child came from outside the door: "Big brother, big sister, I...I want to help too! What can I do?"
The arrival of Xiaobao added a bit of warmth to the heavy atmosphere of the upcoming separation. Su Meier knelt down and stroked his head gently: "Xiaobao, you have a brave heart and a heart eager to grow. This is the most important thing. What you can do now is to protect the village and learn more knowledge. In the future, no matter where we are, we will know that you are firmly guarding this land.”
小. Bao's eyes flashed with determination and he nodded vigorously: "I will! I will become a warrior like you, protect the village and the world!"
With Xiaobao's immature but firm vow, The four figures disappeared at the end of the passage one by one, each embarking on a road full of unknowns and challenges. At this moment, the people in the tribe, whether they were old people or children, silently watched their departing figures, their hearts filled with hope and expectation.
"Can they really fight against the forgotten shadow?" A young woman asked in a low voice to the old man beside her, with both worry and expectation in her eyes.
The old man looked up at the backs of the four people who gradually disappeared from the field of vision, with deep eyes: "History is always written by such brave men, not because of inevitable success, but because they dare to stand up in the face of darkness."
< br>"But they are just mortals, right?" Another teenager interjected, his face full of confusion and curiosity.
"Child, strength does not only come from blood or divine gifts, but also from the faith and persistence in the heart." The old man's tone revealed a calmness after experiencing hardships, "Their journey will prove that , Even mortals can create their own legends."
At this time, an elder walked out of the crowd tremblingly on crutches, his voice was hoarse due to age, but it was full of intolerance. ignore The power of: "Once upon a time, I had doubts and fears just like you. But please remember, it is these doubts and fears that create our courage and tenacity. Since they were chosen, they have their own reasons."
The people of the tribe gathered around, young and old, talking a lot. Their words were intertwined with expectations, worries and admiration. Every soul was praying in its own way for the warriors who were about to embark on the journey.
Outside the secret room, the four people acting separately have embarked on their own journeys. Allen and Xu Mo travel through ancient ruins. Everywhere they go, they arouse the curiosity and surprise of the locals:
"Look, they are light and dark travelers! It is said that they can awaken the holy artifacts , against that terrible shadow.”
"Is it true? I heard that each of them has special skills, especially the one holding the sword of light. His eyes seem to have stars and sea."
After Allen heard this, he just He smiled lightly and continued to discuss the clues in the ancient books with Xu Mo. They know very well that the praise and speculation from the outside world are just bubbles in the wind. The real challenges lurk in the unknown darkness, and what awaits them will be unprecedented trials.
On the other side, Su Meier and Yan Xin have also become the focus of attention in the process of looking for allies. In a market in a small town, a vendor couldn't help but come up and strike up a conversation: "Hey, pretty girl and hot guy, are you here for help? Hearing your stories really makes my blood boil!"
Su Meier smiled slightly, gentle yet powerful: "Every heart that is willing to fight for the light is precious. Are you, or someone you know, interested in joining us?"
"This..." The merchant scratched his head, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and Then the light of determination ignited again, "Although I can only do business, my son has always dreamed of becoming a warrior, and I think he will be interested."
As more and more people People are inspired by the deeds of the four people, and an invisible force is quietly gathering. Whether it's a remote village or a bustling city, there are people talking about them, looking forward to it, and preparing.
Finally, on a starry night, Allen and others reunited in a valley protected by ancient magic. They bring with them valuable information, loyal allies, and even stronger faith. The four people sat around the campfire, the firelight reflecting on their determined faces, and the air was filled with a sense of tension and tranquility before the decisive battle.
"We have found more clues about that ancient existence," Xu Mo opened a thick ancient book, light dancing between his fingers, "According to records, it is afraid of something called' The power of soul resonance, which is the resonance between pure hearts, can inspire potential that transcends all boundaries."
"In other words, we not only have to rely on the sacred artifact, but also rely on mutual trust and the connection with the entire world?" Su Meier thought thoughtfully.
"That's right," Allen nodded, his eyes firm, "Each of us is an indispensable link in this chain, a perfect fusion of light and darkness."
< br>Yan Xin patted his chest and said loudly: "Then what are you waiting for? Let us Use actions to tell that shadow that no matter how old and powerful the evil is, it can't shake the hearts that beat for the light!"
While the four were talking, a gust of wind blew by, bringing a distant view! They murmured, as if the whole world was listening to their conversation. A passing traveler, with ragged clothes but bright eyes, overheard their conversation and couldn't help but stop and said softly to the flame: "If the world really has such a miracle, then I am willing to believe that even the faintest Candlelight can also light the way in the dark."
Alan. Turning to look at this uninvited guest, his eyes were not repulsive, but full of welcome: "Friend, there is a profound understanding in your words. We need everyone who believes in the light. Join us, or light your way for us. Shining a light will be a priceless help.”
A faint smile appeared on the corner of the traveler's mouth. He did not answer directly, but recited an ancient song. The melody was distant and mysterious, seeming to transcend the barriers of time and space, conveying ancient power and hope: "In light and darkness In the intertwined place, heroes will rise in Li Before the Ming Dynasty, they were not born kings, but they were chosen by fate. They forged swords with faith and used courage as shields to lead the lost back home. "As the singing gradually faded, the surrounding night seemed less dense and dotted. The starlight penetrated the clouds and shone on everyone's face. Not far away, a group of children were sitting around under an old tree, listening attentively to the village elders telling heroic legends, their eyes shining with longing and yearning.
