Chapter 978 Nature
Just as a group of people were surrounding the ancient altar, immersed in the sense of accomplishment of their recent victory and liberating the guardians, a sudden attack broke the tranquility. The surrounding space seemed to be torn apart by invisible hands. Creatures that looked like shadows but had solid textures suddenly sprang out of the cracks. The speed was so fast that people were caught off guard.
"Be careful, it's the evil remnant!" Leo quickly drew his sword. Wherever the sword passed, several black shadows shattered, but more shadows came like a tide, and their eyes It burned with the fury of revenge.
"How could this happen? Didn't we just seal that power?" Leah asked doubtfully while using healing magic to provide emergency treatment to her injured partner.
"Obviously, the evil force is far more cunning and stubborn than we imagined." Kevin quickly consulted the scroll, hoping to find a way to deal with it. "This may be its remaining will, trying to make a final struggle. ”
"Everyone gather together, back to back, don't be separated by them!" Lin Feng commanded, and the Key of Harmony rotated in his hands, turning into circles of light, forming a protective shield, barely able to withstand the attacks that came like raindrops.
At this moment, a low and cold voice echoed in the air: "Stupid Son of Light, think that a mere seal can completely eliminate me? This is just the beginning, the darkness will never be extinguished!"< br>
"We won't let you succeed!" Lin Feng shouted, the power of light in his body became more intense due to anger. He raised the Key of Harmony, and a dazzling light penetrated the shadow creature like a sharp blade. The array gave them a chance to breathe.
"Spread out the operations, find their source, and eliminate them in one fell swoop!" Leo suggested, and everyone responded quickly, dividing into several groups and going deep into the shadows to find the command core of the raid.
A team of Alvin and Leia used magic to sense the flow of dark energy. They shuttled through the twisted space, and finally discovered a hidden black hole, from which shadow creatures continued to pour out. "This is it!" Alvin said, quickly forming seals with his hands, preparing to launch an attack.
On the other side, Lin Feng and Kevin encountered more powerful shadow generals. They were not only huge in stature, but also had certain intelligence, constantly commanding their younger brothers to charge. "Isn't this your only trump card?" Lin Feng sneered. The Key of Harmony in his hand turned into a huge sword of light, and he and Kevin stood back to back, resisting the waves of attacks together.
While everyone was fighting hard, a thought flashed in Lin Feng's mind: "We have been passively defending, why not lead the evil power to that ancient altar? Maybe the power of light there can completely Destroy them!”
He quickly informed his companions of his idea and received unanimous approval. Everyone quickly changed their strategies and worked together to gradually lead the shadow creatures to the area where the altar was located.
When the last wave of shadow creatures stepped into the light range of the altar, the originally weak crystal ball suddenly burst out with dazzling light, like the first ray of sunlight at sunrise, instantly illuminating the entire space. The shadow creatures screamed in pain under such light, and finally disappeared into nothing, and the black hole that commanded them was also purified.
The battle was over. Lin Feng and the others stood panting in front of the altar, looking at the world returning to peace around them, passing each other smiles of the aftermath of the disaster.
"This time, it's really over." Leo breathed a sigh of relief and put the sword back into its sheath.
"At least for now." Kevin closed the scroll, with both satisfaction and alertness in his eyes, "But as Lin Feng said, the battle between light and darkness will never stop, and we must always be prepared. "
"However, with this experience, I believe that no matter what challenges we encounter in the future, we can overcome them together." Lin Feng's words were full of confidence and hope, and he looked at everyone. A partner, with an unwavering light shining in his eyes.
"Yes, as long as we are united, the light will win!" Everyone responded in unison, and laughter and vows echoed in the air for a long time.
Just as the atmosphere was getting warmer, an old man's figure slowly appeared at the entrance of the village, and the villagers gave way respectfully. The old man was dressed simply, his face was covered with traces of time, but his eyes were extremely bright, as if he could see everything in the world.
"Young warriors, your deeds have been spread throughout this continent." The old man approached slowly, his eyes swept over Lin Feng and others one by one, and finally stopped at the key of harmony that exuded a faint light, "The key in the ancient prophecy The Messenger of Light really came at the darkest moment."
"Old man, you seem to know a lot?" Lin Feng took a step forward and asked politely.
“I am just a storyteller who has traveled far and wide, and has witnessed the birth of countless legends.” The old man smiled slightly, but there was an unspeakable meaning in his tone, “But what I know may be able to answer your questions. The journey down provides a clue.”
The surrounding villagers and passers-by gathered together, talking in low voices, their eyes full of admiration and curiosity for this group of young warriors.
"Say, old man, any information is precious to us." Jason said eagerly, his fists still clenched, showing his desire for unknown challenges.
"At the end of the world, there is a lost city. It is said that the deepest secrets about evil and the ultimate weapon against it are hidden there." The old man's voice was low and mysterious, and every word fell into everyone's ears, stirring up layers of excitement. Layers of ripples, "However, it is a place forgotten by time, full of unpredictable dangers, and there is even no return."
The discussion in the crowd became louder, some were surprised, some Worrying, but more expecting and encouraging.
“No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, we will not back down.” Lin Feng said firmly, and his determination infected everyone.
“Yes, for the sake of light, we are willing to face anything.” Leo, Leia and others echoed one after another, and their voices gathered into a force that cannot be ignored.
The old man nodded with satisfaction, then took out a simple-carved compass from his arms and gently placed it on Lin Feng's hand, "This object will lead you to the lost city. Remember, the real power Not only from external weapons, but more importantly from the inner light.”
Lin Feng held the compass tightly and felt the rich history and warm power contained in it. He bowed gratefully to the old man.
Just as they were preparing to embark on the journey again, a little girl's crisp voice suddenly came from the crowd, "Big brother and big sister, are you really going to defeat the big devil?"
Everyone Looking back, I saw the little girl's eyes shining with admiration and admiration, and the adults around her were also looking expectantly at her.
Lin Feng leaned over and touched her head gently, "Yes, we will do our best, not only for ourselves, but also for all children like you to live in a place without fear. Growing up happily in the world."
"How awesome! I want to be a warrior like you when I grow up!" The little girl jumped up excitedly, and a burst of good-natured laughter broke out around her.
"Then, let us march towards the unknown distance!" Lin Feng announced loudly, his voice echoing in the village, like a war drum, stimulating everyone's blood. The group set off again, with the villagers' waves and blessings behind them, and ahead full of unknown adventures and challenges. The setting sun lengthened their figures, and every step was filled with unwavering faith and hope.
"One day, we will let light cover every inch of the land, and there will no longer be room for darkness." Leo looked into the distance with a firm tone.
"Yes, that will be our legend." Lin Feng replied softly, their eyes shining with unlimited expectations for the future.
During their conversation, the totem on the strange leaf seemed to glow slightly, as if it was a silent affirmation and guidance to them. And the lost city is quietly waiting for these brave men chosen by fate, hidden behind the fog, which is both the end of the trial and the starting point of new hope.
"Speaking of which, how come that old man happened to show up? And he knows everything about us?" Jason asked in a low voice as he walked in the team, curiosity driving him to want to dig out more stories behind it.
“Destiny always likes to throw out clues at critical moments, doesn’t it?” Kevin pushed up his glasses, revealing a hint of scholar’s unique rationality in his words, “Maybe we ourselves are what others say. "Part of the legend."
Leah chuckled, her laughter blowing like a spring breeze, "No matter what, this mysterious old man has brought us the direction, and this alone is enough to make people grateful." "
"However, the Lost City does not sound simple. Are you mentally prepared?" Leo's joke was somewhat serious. He looked around at his teammates with an unquestionable look in his eyes. of trust.
"Get ready, no matter what is waiting for us ahead, as long as we are together, nothing is impossible." Alvin patted his chest, his pride and ambition evident in his words.
Along the way, they met all kinds of people, and every passerby expressed their amazement and encouragement to them in different ways:
“Look, those are the legendary messengers of light! It’s better to see than to hear a hundred times. Ah!" A vendor stopped what he was doing and looked at them in awe.
"Warriors, may your swords be always sharp and illuminate the road ahead!" An old woman prayed devoutly, her hand gently touching her chest, as if giving some kind of sacred blessing.
"Mom, will they succeed? The big devil sounds so scary." A little boy grabbed his mother's clothes and raised his head to ask, with both fear and longing in his eyes.
"Yes, dear children, because they are heroes fighting for the light." The mother answered softly, her eyes full of hope for the children's future safety, and also her deep affection for these brave men. trust.
As they marched, the team gradually approached the edge of the Lost City. The surrounding scenery became more and more desolate, and an indescribable depression filled the air. Suddenly, a strong wind swept over, carrying fine sand and low chanting, as if some ancient language was calling them.
"This wind... seems to be guiding us." Lin Feng held the compass in his hand tightly, and the ancient instrument actually resonated faintly at this moment.
"Yes, we are getting closer to the goal." Kevin unfolded the map. Although the wind and sand made him squint his eyes, his persistence and concentration did not decrease by half.
"No matter what secrets are hidden in the Lost City, we will unveil it." Leo clenched his fists and looked straight ahead with a firm gaze.
Just as they were about to move forward again, there was a rush of footsteps, and a panicked young man ran up to them panting: "Warriors, please be careful. Many explorers have entered that place recently. After entering the area, he never came out again.”
"Thank you for your reminder, we will be more vigilant." Alvin replied gently, but his determination to move forward became even stronger.
"Then... please come back safely, this world needs your light." The young man bowed deeply, and then hurried away, leaving behind a string of firm and heavy figures on his back.
Watching his back disappear from sight, Lin Feng slowly said: "Everyone is supporting us in their own way. We cannot let down this trust."
" Indeed, let us now turn these concerns into motivation for moving forward." Kevin put away the map, with a gleam of wisdom in his eyes.
"Yes, actions are more powerful than words. We not only want to find the ultimate weapon, but also prove the belief that light will last forever." Leo said, looking up into the distance, the skyline obscured by yellow sand It seems to be quietly telling the ancient and unknown.
They continued to move forward, stepping on the unknown and expectation with every step. As the outline of the Lost City loomed in the wind and sand, the tension in the team gradually increased, but the trust and determination between them were like invisible ties, tightly connecting them.
“Look over there!” Leah suddenly pointed to a broken wall. The stone wall there was carved with totems similar to those on the Key of Harmony, which seemed to be guiding something. "This must be a secret path leading to the interior of the city."
As the team followed the path marked by totems, they could occasionally see some relics forgotten by time among the ruins they passed. They all seem to tell the past glory and decline of this city.
“This place used to be so prosperous, but now there is only the sound of lonely wind.” Alvin sighed as he gently stroked a broken sculpture.
While everyone was immersed in the vicissitudes of history, suddenly, a low and long bell tolled through the dead silence, shaking their hearts.
"What's that sound?" Jason looked around and clenched the sword in his hand alertly.
"Legend has it that there is an ancient bell tower hidden deep in the Lost City. Whenever an outsider approaches its deepest secrets, the bell will ring on its own, warning and guiding the visitor. "Kevin pushed up his glasses and looked deeply. It was obvious that he had a certain understanding of the history of this area.
"Warning or guidance? It seems that we are indeed going to find that 'it'." Lin Feng looked in the direction of the bell and spoke firmly.
