Chapter 937 Echo
“No matter what the road ahead is,” the woman’s gentle voice echoed in the silent night sky, “As long as we are together, there is no darkness that cannot be overcome.”
As As the journey progressed, they got closer and closer to the legendary frozen temple. The chill in the air became more and more piercing, and the showdown between light and darkness seemed to be quietly approaching. Everyone understands that what is coming is not only a search for artifacts, but also a test of soul and faith.
As the expedition approached the final stretch of the Frozen Temple, they accidentally rescued a young scholar who was being chased by an ice monster. The scholar's clothes were ragged and his glasses were crooked, but his eyes sparkled with a passion for knowledge.
"Thank you, brave travelers." The scholar tidied his broken glasses and said excitedly, "I am a historian who studies ancient cultural relics and have been pursuing clues about the apostles of the four elements. It is said that , the frozen temple not only contains powerful artifacts, but also a secret book that records ancient combat skills and light magic.”
Hearing this, everyone in the team looked expectant. The long-haired female mage was particularly excited: "If that secret book really exists, it will be crucial to improving our combat effectiveness!"
"It seems that your joining has made our team more diverse." The burly The warrior patted the scholar on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Learning is also a weapon, especially when fighting against darkness."
The group continued to move forward and finally came to the entrance of the Frozen Temple. The temple stands tall and towering, wrapped in thousands of years of ice, exuding an inviolable majesty. Pushing open the heavy ice door, an ancient and cold breath hit my face, as if I had stepped into another time and space.
As they explore deeper, the challenges they face become more and more difficult. There are many mechanisms, and frozen monsters attack from the darkness from time to time. However, relying on their tacit understanding and their own specialties, the expedition team resolves the crises one by one.
“Look, what is that?” The young man pointed to a stone wall carved with complex runes. The light flowing on the stone wall seemed to be leading them to some important discovery.
The female mage stepped forward and touched the rune. The stone wall slowly opened, revealing the hidden chamber. In the center of the secret room, an ice crystal staff emitting soft blue light lay quietly, surrounded by an ancient book.
“I found it, this is the artifact that can control the power of ice!” The scholar exclaimed and carefully held up the staff.
At the same time, the female mage opened the ancient book, and the pages automatically opened to a certain page, which recorded the long-lost light magic and the unsolved mysteries of the elemental apostles.
While everyone was immersed in joy and surprise, a cold laughter echoed in the secret room, and a figure slowly emerged - a wizard corrupted by dark power, his eyes as dark as the abyss.
"Stupid travelers, do you think that you can resist the darkness after finding the light of hope?" The wizard sneered, "The future of this continent can only belong to endless night!"
Facing the sudden enemy, the expedition team quickly took a fighting stance. The battle is about to break out. Ice and fire, sword and magic collide in the small space, creating brilliant sparks.
“We won’t let you succeed!” the boy shouted loudly, the dagger in his hand shining with the light of justice.
The battle was extremely fierce and both sides were evenly matched. At the critical moment, the female mage used her newly learned light magic to summon a ray shield to protect her teammates from fatal blows. At the same time, the scholar used wisdom to interpret the rituals in ancient books on how to purify the dark power.
After rounds of fierce battles, the wizard finally showed defeat under the combined attack. His body gradually dissipated, and the dark aura also faded.
"Have we...succeeded?" The young man asked breathlessly, looking around. Although his partners were tired, their eyes were full of the joy of victory.
The woman stepped forward and handed him the ice crystal staff: "Yes, darkness can never swallow light. You, us, everyone, are heroes in this battle."
"But, The scholar closed the ancient book with a solemn expression, "This battle is far from over. The power of darkness is still lurking. We need to find more sources of light and unite all the forces that can be united."
This is the end of the conversation. The members of the expedition team were all lost in thought. They realized that the real challenge had just begun, and their stories would become eternal legends that inspire future generations to pursue light and hope.
"So, where is the next stop?" The young man looked at the night sky with firm eyes, and the fire in his heart was stronger than ever.
The woman smiled, her eyes shining like stars: "As long as there is light in our hearts, our battlefield is everywhere. But now, let's rest first. Tomorrow, we will continue to move forward."< br>
The night fell and the starry sky was bright. The expedition team sat around the secret room where they had just experienced the battle. The remains of the frozen monsters were scattered around, but the residual warmth of victory still surged in their hearts. The blacksmith in the village suddenly remembered something, and his eyes flashed with curiosity: "Warriors, I have always wanted to ask, how do you still maintain hope and not give up in such a difficult environment?"
The young man smiled slightly and looked at his teammates beside him, his eyes full of trust: "It's each other, it's every fight together on this journey that makes us learn to rely on and trust. Moreover, whenever we are in desperate situations, there will always be Ordinary people like you tell us in the simplest way that life must go on and there is always light.”
The long-haired female mage added: “There are also those stories, those of us on the journey. The legends about courage and sacrifice heard in the book. They are like fire in the wind, igniting the light deep in our hearts."
The scholar pushed up his glasses, his eyes shining with a desire for knowledge: "It's more important. What is true is that knowledge and history teach us that no matter how long the darkness is, dawn will eventually come. Every time the secret of an ancient cultural relic is unlocked, it seems to light up a light for the world."
The blacksmith listened. After finishing, his eyes were slightly moist, he stood up and bowed deeply to the expedition team: "You are not only fighting heroes, but also messengers of light. Please be sure to take care of yourself, because there are many people like you in this world. People like me are looking up to you and drawing strength from your stories.”
Just when the atmosphere became warm but heavy, a traveling businessman happened to pass by and heard the blacksmith's words. He stopped, the bell on his backpack rang softly, and his face was full of surprise: "You are the team that looks for artifacts and fights against the darkness? I have heard of your legends in several towns!"
He walked up to Sitting down by the campfire, he took out an old map from his bag and spread it out: "If you really want to find more sources of light, maybe this map can help. There are some forgotten things marked on it. The holy land is said to be the ruins of the ancient light messenger, hiding powerful light magic."
The members of the expedition exchanged glances with new hope and determination in their eyes. The female mage gently touched the map, feeling the secrets that had been sealed by time: "Thank you, this gift is too precious. We will carefully consider every location and continue our journey." The conversation continued by the campfire until late at night. Everyone involved was infected by this spirit of unremitting pursuit of light. Finally, when the first ray of morning light penetrated the night, the expedition team packed up and prepared to embark on a new journey.
Before leaving, the young man turned to the blacksmith, his tone full of determination and gratitude: "We will not stop until this continent is bathed in light again. Please and All kind people believe that hope never leaves. As long as there is light in the heart, the world has infinite possibilities. ”
Just as the expedition team was getting ready to go, the tranquility of the morning was suddenly broken by the sound of rushing footsteps. Everyone turned around vigilantly, only to see a graceful woman appear in sight. She was surrounded by lavender mist, and her eyes shone with a strange light. She was obviously not an ordinary person.
"Hmph, how dare a mere mortal covet the ancient power of light?" The woman smiled contemptuously, condensed a touch of dark energy on her fingertips, and suddenly threw it towards the weakest scholar in the team.
"Be careful!" The warrior reacted quickly, stood up in front of the scholar, raised his heavy sword to block, and the metal collided with the shadow energy, making a deafening sound. However, this attack was just a test, and the real goal of the enchantress Lin Xier did not seem to be here.
"Interesting, your courage is really impressive." Lin Xier's mouth raised a playful smile, her body moved left and right, and her speed was astonishing. In an instant, she circled the flank of the team and went straight to The boy who seems to be the most vulnerable.
The young man was caught off guard. Seeing the demonic aura, he couldn't help but feel nervous. At this critical moment, a warm light element force emerged from the ice crystal staff in his hand, naturally forming a thin shield to resist the witch's attack.
"So you are the Chosen One of Light...Interesting, interesting." Instead of being angry, Lin Xi'er looked even more excited, and the strange color in her eyes became a little stronger.
"Stop it, Lin Xi'er." At this time, the woman who had been silently observing slowly stepped forward. Her voice was gentle but full of power, "Your power comes from your twisted understanding of light. If If you are willing, the light can also guide you."
Lin Xier had a complicated look on her face after hearing this. After a while, she put down her aggressive posture, but her eyes were still wary: "Why should I? Believe you?”
“Because there is still a glimmer of light in your heart, otherwise, you would have killed us already.” The woman smiled softly, as if she had understood the other person’s thoughts, “And, become my partner. , is far more meaningful than fighting alone, isn't it? "
"Partner? This is the first time someone has said that to me." Lin Xier's tone was a bit more playful, but she said. His eyes swept over everyone, seeming to be assessing something.
Seeing this, the young man mustered up the courage to take a step forward: "If you are willing to change, we will accept you. Everyone has the right to choose the light, even if they have been lost."
Lin Xier looked at it steadily. He looked at the young man for a long time and finally sighed: "Okay, I recognize Lin Feng as my master, but don't expect me to be obedient easily."
The young man Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Welcome to join, Lin Xi'er . From today on, you are no longer alone.”
With the addition of Lin Xier, the lineup of the expedition team has become more diverse and stronger. And her changes have quietly planted a glimmer of hope for bright and infinite possibilities in everyone's heart.
As night fell, the expedition team sat around the campfire, enjoying the rare tranquility. Lin Xi'er sat alone a little further away, looking at the beating flames with complex eyes, as if a fierce struggle was going on in her heart.
"What are you thinking about?" Lin Feng came to her side quietly and sat down.
"I was thinking...can light really wash away the darkness in me?" Lin Xier's voice revealed a hint of confusion.
"I believe it can," Lin Feng replied softly, his eyes firm, "You see, although this bonfire is small, it can dispel the chill around us. Everyone has a fire in their hearts, the key is whether we are willing Let it burn."
Lin Xier was silent for a moment and suddenly smiled: "You guys, what you said makes sense. Okay, now that we have decided, let's go find those lights together. Let’s see how many miracles are waiting for us in this world.”
“Let’s go. Tomorrow is another day.” Lin Feng stretched out his hand, and Lin Xier hesitated. Finally I got hold of it. Under the firelight, the shadows of the two people were very long, as if indicating that the journey together was about to begin an unusual chapter.
Early the next morning, the sun shone through the sparse clouds and shone on the faces of the expedition team. Everyone looked particularly energetic. Under the leadership of Lin Feng, everyone followed the guidance of the mysterious map and entered an unknown forest. It is said that there is a lost temple hidden there, guarding the ancient and powerful power of light.
The forest was filled with a faint mist, and the chirping of birds came and went, but it was difficult to cover up the vague and uneasy atmosphere. "The feeling here is different from the previous places." The female mage whispered, waving her staff lightly, and several rays of light flew out, illuminating the path ahead.
"Indeed," the scholar nodded in agreement, "ancient books record that when approaching these holy places, subtle changes will occur in nature. Perhaps we are on the right path."
Just as everyone As they advanced cautiously, the ground suddenly trembled, and a huge vine monster suddenly burst out of the soil and rushed towards them with its teeth and claws. The warrior quickly stood in front of the team, shouted loudly, and slashed down with his heavy sword, but was easily deflected by the tough vines.
"This monster is protected by this land, and conventional attacks have little effect on it." The female mage quickly analyzed and then chanted an ancient spell. A dazzling light burst out from her fingertips, a beam of light. The pure light arrow hit the core of the vine monster, causing a violent tremor.
"Good opportunity!" Lin Feng took the opportunity to direct. The team members performed their duties and cooperated flawlessly, and finally successfully defeated the monster. While solving the crisis, they also discovered the secret entrance behind the monster, leading to the legendary temple.
