Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

"Is this... where the relics are?" Alan looked around, amazed at the sight before him.

The traveler nodded: "That's right, but remember, the closer you get to the end, the more severe the test will be. We must not only face external enemies, but also be prepared for inner trials."

Just as everyone was about to step into the temple, suddenly a burst of hurried footsteps accompanied by noisy conversations were heard from inside the temple, and several figures in black robes came into view. They were obviously here for the relics as well.

"It seems that we are not the only ones looking for clues." Lin Feng whispered, tightening his weapon.

"The battle between light and darkness has never stopped since ancient times. Today, let us become a part of history." Mia's words inspired everyone, and they stood side by side to face the upcoming challenges.

"No matter what the outcome is, we are ready." Alan's eyes burned with a fire of determination.

Lin Yaya smiled, a brave smile in the face of unknown challenges: "Yes, at least we have each other."

The four of them walked into the temple, with each other's support behind them and unknown challenges and puzzles in front of them. Inside the temple, the light gradually dimmed, and only the eternal light in the center guided their way. The walls around were engraved with ancient runes, which seemed to tell distant stories, and the air was filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

"These runes... seem to be related to the records in the Holy Book of Light." Alan observed carefully, his voice echoing in the empty temple, attracting the attention of others.

"Look, there's a mechanism over there!" Lin Yaya pointed at a stone statue that looked ordinary but was actually hiding a mystery. The eyes of the stone statue reflected a faint light spot at a certain light angle, which corresponded exactly to certain symbols on the ground.

"Let me try." Mia stepped forward and, relying on her keen intuition and delicate technique, touched the light spots in order. As the last light spot was activated, the ground shook slightly, and a secret door leading to the underground slowly opened, with more light spilling out.

The four explorers looked at each other and stepped into the secret door without hesitation. The space behind the door was spacious and mysterious, with a shining altar in the center, and the legendary relic lay quietly on the altar, emitting gentle yet powerful power fluctuations.

"It... is more shocking than I imagined." Lin Feng muttered to himself, and his pace slowed down involuntarily, as if even the air was solidified by this force.

Just as they were about to approach the relic, a sinister laugh suddenly rang out, and then Theresa's figure appeared along with several high-ranking apostles of the Shadow Council, surrounding the exit.

"Smart, but you are still too late. The relic is destined to belong to the Shadow Council." Theresa's eyes were fixed on the relic, her tone full of confidence that she was determined to win.

"We won't let you succeed!" Lin Feng stood up, the holy weapon in his hand shining with the light of justice. His companions around him also took up fighting stances, ready to meet the coming storm.

At this time, a deep and solemn voice echoed in the temple: "Shadow and light are the two sides of the world. But the real power comes from the choice of the heart."

As the voice fell, an old man in an ancient robe slowly walked into the scene. His eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, which made people feel awe. The appearance of the old man made the atmosphere of the whole space change subtly.

"Teacher... why are you here?" Mia seemed a little surprised, but also relieved. The appearance of the teacher was undoubtedly their strongest support.

"When the balance of the world is threatened, no one can stand aside." The mentor's eyes swept over everyone in turn, and finally landed on Theresa. "Give up, Theresa, the power you pursue will only devour you."

Theresa sneered: "Devouring? I am willing to pay any price as long as I can obtain the power that can change the world!"

A final showdown between light and shadow seemed inevitable. Just when the atmosphere was tense to the extreme, a passerby suddenly broke in, his face full of shock and curiosity: "This... What a scene! I am just a traveler, but I am lucky enough to witness such a feat."

"Get away from it, it's very dangerous here!" Lin Feng shouted, with inexplicable emotions surging in his heart. This fight is not only for the relics, but also to prove the existence of light and justice.

"No, I want to stay and witness it all with my own eyes." The traveler shook his head firmly. Although he was just a bystander, he was also infected by this persistence and courage.

In the ensuing battle, the collision of light and shadow illuminates the ancient temple, and every confrontation pulls at the heartstrings of the viewers. Passersby exclaim, admire, and even fear.

Finally, after a fierce duel, the light of justice defeated the dark forces, Theresa and the members of the Shadow Council retreated and disappeared. And the relic, under the guidance of the mentor, was proved to need to be guarded by people with pure hearts to maintain the balance of the world.

“It turns out that the real power does not come from the relics themselves, but from the faith in our hearts.” Lin Feng exclaimed, surrounded by the approving gazes of his companions and mentors.

"That's right, as long as there is light in your heart, the darkness will eventually retreat." The mentor said with a smile, his eyes warm and deep.

“This… This is incredible!” The traveler stared at everything in front of him in amazement. From the initial surprise to the current shock, he seemed to be witnessing the birth of a legend. “You not only protected the relics, but also taught me a truth—even the tiniest light can illuminate the darkness.”

"Thank you for your testimony, traveler." Lin Feng smiled and put his hand on his shoulder. "Everyone has a light in their heart. While illuminating themselves, they can also give hope to others."

"I will definitely record this experience and let more people know that there are such heroes in this world who are fighting tirelessly for light and justice." The traveler's eyes flashed with unprecedented enthusiasm.

"Remember, don't forget to emphasize the power of belief when you tell your story." Alan added, with a faint smile on his lips and a calmness in his eyes that came from a baptism of battle.

Mia patted the traveler on the back gently and said: "Your journey will continue. I hope you can become a ray of light that illuminates others on your future journey."

Lin Yaya smiled and interrupted: "Don't forget, the most important thing on the journey, in addition to adventure and discovery, is sharing and learning." At this time, the mentor smiled slightly, and his voice seemed to travel through time and space, with endless wisdom: "Now, our mission is far from over. Although the relics are safe, the threat of the Shadow Council is still lurking. We need to find more like-minded people to spread light to every corner of the world."

"Teacher is right." Lin Feng nodded in agreement and looked into the distance, his eyes full of longing for the future. "We are guardians and disseminators of light. The road ahead is still long, but as long as we are united in heart, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome."

Just as everyone was about to leave and prepare for a new challenge, the traveler suddenly remembered something and turned to look at the mentor with curiosity in his eyes: "By the way, mentor, how did you know about the crisis here and show up in time?"

The mentor's gaze became profound, and he said softly: "Everything in the world has cause and effect. When your heart is connected to the light, the light will naturally lead you to where you should be."

This sentence was like a gentle breeze, blowing into everyone's heart, making them full of confidence and expectations for the future.

"So, where is our next destination?" Lin Yaya asked expectantly, her face filled with the vitality unique to an adventurer.

"There is always something unknown waiting for us ahead, where it will be, and perhaps even our destiny, which we cannot fully predict." The instructor said meaningfully, "But remember, as long as there is light in your heart, the path under your feet will naturally reveal itself."

"Well said, mentor." Alan clenched his fists, his eyes firm, "No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, as long as we walk together, there will be no challenges that cannot be overcome."

"Yes, and I think that every time we solve a problem, there will be a new adventure waiting for us. It's exciting just to think about it!" Lin Yaya jumped up excitedly, and her innocence and optimism infected everyone present.

Mia seemed more thoughtful: "A new journey means new learning and growth. I am ready to face every trial and make myself stronger."

The traveler was packing his bag and sighing with emotion: "Hearing what you said, I also want to be one of you, to experience the wind and rain together and witness the light together."

"Traveler, everyone has his or her own unique mission. Your path may be different, but equally important." The mentor looked at him kindly, "Recording and passing on our stories is also a powerful force."

"I understand. I will use my own way to bring a ray of light to this world." Determination flashed in the traveler's eyes.

Just as everyone was about to embark on the next journey, Lin Feng suddenly stopped, looked around, and said in a steady voice: "Before that, we should ensure the peace of this area and prevent the Shadow Council from invading again. Teacher, do you have any suggestions?"

The mentor smiled and said slowly: "First, we need to strengthen the defenses here and use the power of the relics to set up a temporary barrier. At the same time, we need to find the natives here, establish contact with them, and jointly protect this holy land."

"Good idea! Let's split up. Lin Yaya and I will be responsible for finding and assisting the local residents, while Alan and Mia will be responsible for the safety of the relics and the arrangement of the barrier." Lin Feng quickly assigned the tasks.

"Then I will be responsible for recording everything, and...see if there are any historical documents that can help us learn more about this place." The traveler was not to be outdone and actively offered his own contribution.

"Very good, then it is decided." The instructor nodded with satisfaction, "Remember, unity is our greatest strength. Let's go, warriors, and fight for light!"

With the mentor's blessing, the four and the traveler started their respective actions. The occasional glances between them were full of trust and encouragement. As their figures gradually disappeared into the dense jungle, a new chapter officially began, and a great journey of faith, friendship and exploration continued.

"Look, they are true heroes who are willing to do anything to protect the light." A young villager who was silently observing not far away couldn't help but say to the elder beside him, admiration flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, child, I hope you can learn from them that every ordinary person can also shine in his or her own position." The elder spoke earnestly, with hope for the future flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, grandpa, I want to be like them." The young villager's words were full of determination, and this determination quietly took root in his heart.

On the other side, Lin Feng and his group shuttled through the dense forest, and every step was extremely cautious. Lin Yaya said as they walked: "I didn't expect this adventure to be so eventful, especially that traveler. His reaction was like the spice of our adventure, making everything more interesting."

Allen smiled and responded, "Indeed, sometimes, an outside perspective can help us see a side of ourselves that we haven't noticed. By the way, what do you think of the challenges you may encounter next, Mia?"

Mia frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "We are facing not only the direct threat of the Shadow Council, but also the conspiracy and test hidden in the dark. But I believe that as long as we work together, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome."

At this time, the traveler at the end of the team carefully recorded every detail, occasionally looking up at the four explorers in front of him with admiration in his eyes: "It's incredible. Their fearlessness of the unknown and persistence in light are very inspiring. I hope my pen can convey this power truthfully."

After some effort, they found a small local village, where Lin Yaya and Lin Feng quickly integrated into the village and established initial trust with the villagers. After an elder heard their purpose, he said with emotion: "We have heard of ancient prophecies that outsiders will help us protect the holy land. It seems that you are the warriors in the prophecy."

Meanwhile, Allen and Mia were busy in the temple, using the power of the relics to set up a barrier. Allen whispered, "Mia, if one day we have to face a stronger enemy, are you afraid?"

Mia's expression was remarkably firm: "I am afraid, of course I am afraid. But it is this fear that makes me cherish everything we are protecting even more, and makes me understand even more why I am fighting."

When night fell, all the staff sat around the campfire, and the instructor slowly spoke: "The stars are especially bright tonight, as if the sky is cheering for us. Everyone's story and choice are adding color to this world. Tomorrow, no matter what awaits us ahead, remember that we are each other's light."

Lin Feng raised his hand, touched it lightly with everyone, and said firmly: "For light, for peace, we move forward together." (End of this chapter)
