Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

"Son of Light, I have been waiting for you for a long time." A cold voice came from the shadows, and every word seemed to carry a corrosive power.

"We will not let your evil plan succeed." Lin Feng stood at the front, not flinching, the sword in his hand flashing the light of justice in the sunset.

"Your courage is commendable, but do you think you can challenge the rule of the shadow with just a few of you?" Grimly grinning faces appeared in the shadows, which was chilling.

"We are not fighting alone." Song Xinli unfolded an ancient scroll, and the light contained in it gradually spread, enveloping the surrounding villagers. Hope and strength returned to their faces.

"Everyone has a bright light in their heart. When all of them come together, they are enough to dispel any darkness." Mia's voice resounded everywhere, inspiring everyone's heart.

The battle is about to break out. Allen and Song Xinli act separately, using their newly acquired powers and skills to defeat the shadow creatures; Mia organizes the villagers to build a defense line and heal the wounded; while Lin Feng and the traveler directly face the huge shadow core, and a contest between light and darkness officially begins.

"Do you think light can overcome eternal darkness?" The shadow laughed deafeningly.

"Although the light is short-lived, its brightness is enough to illuminate the future and give us hope." Lin Feng answered firmly, and the sword in his hand cut through the darkness one after another in a fierce confrontation.

Just when the battle was at a stalemate, Lin Feng suddenly remembered the clue on the parchment, and he quickly conveyed a strategy to his companions. Allen and Song Xinli used their tacit understanding to attract the attention of the shadow; Mia and the villagers built a wall of light to block the shadow's retreat. Lin Feng and the traveler found the weakest connection point of the shadow based on the clues, and the two joined forces, gathered all their strength, and struck down in one blow.

With a deafening roar, the core of darkness was shattered, and the shadow forces seemed to have lost their command and gradually disintegrated. The sky lit up again, and the sun shone on the battlefield, bringing hope of life and recovery to everything.

"We did it!" Allen cheered and excitedly high-fived his teammates.

“But this is just the beginning. The shadow won’t stop here.” The traveler reminded, his eyes showing both worry and determination.

“No matter what the road ahead holds, as long as we are united in heart, light will surely shine in every corner.” Lin Feng’s words echoed over the new village like a vow.

"So, where is the next stop?" Mia looked into the distance, her eyes filled with both anticipation and determination to challenge.

"Let's go back to the valley first. There are more unsolved secrets hidden there. We need more powerful strength." Song Xinli took out the ancient book, and the cover was shining with a mysterious light.

"I agree. We must continue to become stronger in order to cope with the next challenges." Lin Feng nodded in agreement, tightened his sword in his hand, and looked determined.

"Wait, what are these secrets and powers you are talking about?" the young man asked curiously. After experiencing this series of incredible events, he had a new understanding of the world and was eager to know more.

“It is a path that leads to deeper knowledge and power, but it is also full of dangers.” The traveler said slowly, his tone revealing memories of the past and premonitions of the future.

"We will take you with us. After all, you will become part of our adventure." Mia said to the young man with a smile. There was warmth and tolerance in her smile.

"Really...is it really possible? What can I do?" The young man was surprised and happy, with an unprecedented light in his eyes.

"Everyone is unique, and you are no exception." Song Xinli encouraged. He flipped through the ancient book, and the symbols on the pages seemed to respond to his beliefs, emitting a gentle glow.

Just as everyone was about to leave and prepare for new challenges, an elderly man, leaning on a cane, hobbled towards them, and the surrounding villagers consciously made way for him. The old man's eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, and he said to Lin Feng and the others: "Warriors, the ancient prophecy mentioned that when the sons of light unite, the world will usher in changes. Your journey is not only to fight against darkness, but also to find the lost wisdom and restore the balance of the world."

Hearing this, Lin Feng and the others looked at each other involuntarily. They realized that this journey was more profound and complicated than they had expected. Mia whispered, "Old man, do you know more about the prophecy?"

The old man smiled slightly. The traces of time covered his face, but they could not hide the wisdom in his eyes. "The prophecy is too old. Only a few words have been passed down. But it is said that at the end of the world, there is a hidden door. Behind the door is the power of the beginning of creation. Only those with pure hearts and strong wills can open it and bring true peace to the world."

"The end of the world..." Lin Feng murmured to himself. He felt both excited and nervous. It was a call of mission.

"It sounds like an impossible mission." Alan smiled bitterly, but there was no retreat in his eyes, only a desire for the unknown.

"How do we know if we don't try? At least, we have a direction now." Song Xinli said optimistically, and his positive attitude infected everyone present.

"Then let's set off! For light, for this world." Lin Feng raised his arms and shouted, and the others responded. Their voices echoed in the village, conveying hope and determination.

The villagers gathered around, some waving handkerchiefs, some praying silently. Although they could not move forward together, their support and trust were like an invisible shield, protecting the Children of Light.

"Have a safe journey, children of light. May the light guide your path." The old man bowed deeply, his words full of blessings and expectations.

As Lin Feng and his group walked away, the villagers remained where they were for a long time, unwilling to leave. They looked up at the sky, as if they saw a ray of light penetrating the clouds, illuminating the road ahead.

“Mom, can they really find that door and defeat all the darkness?” The child looked up again, with undying curiosity and hope in his eyes.

"Yes, child." The peasant woman stroked the child's head gently, "Because they are the children of light and our hope. As long as there is light in our hearts, there are infinite possibilities."

At this time, on the mountain road in the distance, Lin Feng and his group were walking side by side, and every step seemed particularly firm. The young traveler walked in the middle of the team, his eyes full of curiosity about the unknown world and gratitude to his companions. "I never thought that I could be part of such a great journey." He said with emotion.

"Each of us is working towards the same goal, and you are equally important." Mia responded with a smile, her eyes gentle but full of power.

Suddenly, Allen, who was in front of the team, stopped and pointed forward, "Look over there, there is a forgotten town, maybe there can provide us with some clues." The town looked abandoned for many years, the stone road was covered with moss, the doors and windows were dilapidated, and there was silence. But in this silence, there seemed to be some kind of power fluctuation hidden. Song Xinli took out the ancient book, and the pages turned automatically, pointing to an abandoned library in the center of the town.

"Do you feel it? The energy there is special." He whispered, his eyes shining with excitement.

Entering the library, the bookshelves were covered with dust, but at the deepest part, a strange light penetrated through the layers of book spines and shone on an old box. Lin Feng gently opened the box, and inside was a gem emitting a soft light and a map depicting a complex pattern.

"This is... the Guidance Stone and the map to the end of the world!" the traveler exclaimed, looking at these ancient relics in disbelief.

"It seems that our journey is more miraculous than expected." Mia said softly, with a gleam of determination in her eyes.

As everyone was staring at the map, a low chanting sound suddenly echoed in the library. The portraits on the wall seemed to come alive, and the characters in the paintings began to speak to them: "Sons of Light, your arrival is destined by fate. To reach the end of the world, you must pass three trials, each of which tests your wisdom, courage, and unity."

"Triple Trial..." Lin Feng muttered to himself, his eyes determined, "No matter how difficult it is, we will move forward."

"Then let us begin the first trial!" A figure in the portrait turned into light and led them into a maze of light and shadow.

In the maze, they face challenges of illusion and reality, and every choice is crucial. Allen and Song Xinli use their newly learned skills to break the illusion, while Mia uses her wisdom to interpret clues, and the travelers show extraordinary perception and discover hidden paths. As the pillar of the team, Lin Feng not only cuts off the obstacles in front of him, but also encourages everyone to move forward.

After some difficult exploration, they finally walked out of the maze, and everyone became more resilient and tacit.

"This is the power of unity." Lin Feng said with emotion, putting his hand on the traveler's shoulder, "We are one step closer to our goal."

"But there are still two trials waiting for us." The traveler looked at the map in his hand, feeling both nervous and expectant.

"No matter what the road ahead holds, we will face it together." Mia's firm words boosted the team's morale.

Just as they were about to continue their journey, a group of mysterious figures in cloaks appeared at the entrance of the town. They were silent, but slowly stretched out their hands, holding a bunch of keys emitting faint light.

"These are the keys that we have guarded for generations. They are used to open the door to the end of the world." The leader said, "Only the true children of light can make them shine with true light."

Lin Feng took the key and felt an inexplicable power surging into his heart, as if the whole world was cheering for their journey.

"Thank you for your trust. We will never let you down." Lin Feng solemnly promised, with an unprecedented sense of responsibility rising in his heart.

"It seems that the wheel of fate has begun to turn, and the battle between light and darkness is about to reach its climax." An old businessman passing by witnessed this scene and whispered to himself, with a complex light flashing in his eyes. He turned to the curious child beside him and said, "Child, remember today, this may be the beginning of a new era."

The villagers gathered around, whispering, their faces filled with awe and expectation. "Can they really solve all the puzzles?" a woman whispered to her husband. "If anyone can do it, it must be them." The man replied, his tone full of confidence.

The team regrouped, and the key shone in the sun, as if it was a preview of the future. "Where to go next?" the young man asked, with excitement and a little uneasiness in his eyes.

"The map shows that the second trial is hidden in a forgotten forest where a legendary guardian beast lives." Song Xinli pointed at the vague mark on the map with a serious expression.

"Guardian beast? That doesn't sound easy." Alan smiled bitterly, but then he regained his fighting spirit, "No matter what, we shouldn't back down."

After passing through the winding path, they came to the edge of the ancient forest. The trees blocked out the sun, and the air was filled with a mysterious and ancient atmosphere. As soon as they entered the forest, a melodious and solemn song echoed in the woods, as if nature itself was telling them something.

"This sound... is the guardian beast calling us." The traveler closed his eyes and tried his best to feel the source of this power.

They followed the sound deeper and finally came to an open area. A huge phoenix stood in the center, its feathers changing brilliant colors in the sunlight, and each feather seemed to contain the mysteries of the universe.

"Children of light, I am pleased with your courage." Phoenix spoke in a sweet voice, "I will test the purity of your hearts. Only those with hearts as pure as a mirror can pass."

Suddenly, the scene in the forest began to distort and change, and each team member was in the deepest fear of his heart. Allen faced the battle he had failed in, Song Xinli was trapped in the ocean of knowledge and struggling to seek, while Mia was in the abyss of loneliness, feeling the loneliness that no one understood.

"We must overcome our fears, for each other and for the world." Lin Feng's voice was like a ray of light, penetrating the haze in everyone's heart and giving them strength.

Under Lin Feng's encouragement, the team members overcame their inner fears one by one and gathered in front of the Phoenix again, with a more determined light in their eyes.

"Very good. Your hearts are purer than you thought." The phoenix's wings flapped gently, turning into a ray of light that merged into everyone's body. "This is my blessing. May it guide you on your future path."

After bidding farewell to Phoenix, they set out on the journey to the third trial. According to the map, it was an unknown sea area, where ancient secrets and unpredictable dangers were hidden.

"The trial at sea sounds like a fairy tale." The young man seemed a little excited. "Will we have a boat? Or do we have to swim across?"

"Don't worry, there is always a way." Song Xinli opened the ancient book, and a page about the ancient shipbuilding method automatically unfolded. Lines of obscure text flowed before everyone's eyes, as if they had life and organized themselves into drawings. (End of this chapter)
