Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

Chapter 905 Climbing

During the climb, they encountered unprecedented bad weather, with strong winds and blizzards that almost buried them and their hopes. However, every time this happened, there was always a warm force coming from the key of time and space in their hands. It was the encouragement and support from the ancient guardian, which gave them a reason to persevere on the edge of despair.

"Look! There is a light there!" Li Wenjing pointed to a cave half-covered by wind and snow in front of him, with a spark of hope flashing in his eyes.

They reached the cave entrance with difficulty. A strange energy wave surged out of the cave, warm and powerful, as if the laws of nature were gently twisted here. Inside the cave, an old man with a tall figure and wearing ancient armor sat quietly in front of a glowing crystal, his eyes closed and his face peaceful, as if he had been waiting here for a thousand years.

"Welcome, brave men." The old man did not open his eyes, but his voice echoed in the cave, deep and majestic. "I am the last guardian, Arthurs. Your arrival is the arrangement of fate and the hope of the world."

"Master Guardian, what should we...what should we do to save this world?" Lin Feng stepped forward and asked respectfully and urgently.

Arthurs slowly opened his eyes, which seemed to contain the sea of ​​stars. He whispered, "True power does not come from external things, but from the heart. Only understanding, trust and sacrifice can unlock the ultimate power of the key to time and space and balance the fate of this world."

“Sacrifice…you mean…” Zhao Lei frowned, his tone filled with uneasiness.

"Yes," Arthurs nodded, "When each generation of guardians hands over power, one person must volunteer to become the 'Linker', binding his soul to the Key of Time and Space, becoming the eternal guardian until the next successor is found. This sacrifice is to prevent power from falling into the hands of evil people, and it is also a necessary price to maintain the balance of the world."

The air around them seemed to freeze, and everyone's breathing became heavy. This sacrifice meant eternal loneliness, isolation from the world, just to protect others.

"I am willing." In the surprised eyes of everyone, Chen Sui spoke calmly, his eyes were clear and determined, "I am willing to become a connector, protect our world, and guard each of you."

"Chen Sui, you..." Lin Feng looked at him in disbelief, with mixed feelings in his heart.

"Don't forget, we are a team," Chen Sui smiled and looked at each of his teammates, "My sacrifice is to allow you to be free to create a better future."

The moment Chen Sui made his decision, the Key of Time and Space in his hand shone with unprecedented brilliance. In the light, he seemed to be connected to everything. A quiet yet powerful force flowed through him. He was no longer the young boy, but the guardian of this world.

"So, what should we do next?" Zhou Lili clenched her fists, determined to support Chen Sui with action.

"We must return to the center of the city. That is where ancient civilization meets modern times. It is also the key to awakening the power of all guardians." Arthas stood up, and the ancient armor emitted a low resonance. "Only by gathering the will of all guardians can we fight against the darkness that is about to come."

"Let's go, time waits for no one." Zhao Lei patted Chen Sui's shoulder, and there was endless gratitude and determination in their eyes.

The team set out again, this time with more determined steps, each step was filled with the light of hope. On the way, people heard about their deeds, and came out of their homes, sending them off with the most sincere blessings and gazes.

"Did you hear it? Those are the footsteps of heroes, the prelude to the victory of light over darkness!" An old man on the street said excitedly to the people around him, his eyes full of pride and expectation.

The team gradually disappeared from people's sight, but every footprint they left seemed to tell a story about courage, sacrifice and love, inspiring future generations.

On the way back to the city, their hearts were filled with unprecedented determination. However, what awaited them was not only a decisive battle, but also unknown challenges and emotional entanglements. But they knew that as long as they had faith in their hearts, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.

In the wind and snow, the wise man looked at their backs and murmured ancient words, which were blessings to the heroes and expectations for the future.

"Until the last moment, may the light guide your path."

In the city center, the ancient square was dyed golden by the setting sun, and the crowds gathered, anxiously waiting for the legendary team. The wise man stood in the middle of the crowd, his deep eyes piercing through the clouds, as if he had foreseen the magnificent scene that was about to come.

"They're back!" a child shouted, pointing his finger at the sky. Five figures broke through the clouds and mist, like divine soldiers descending from heaven, and landed steadily in the center of the square. People exclaimed in amazement, their eyes full of awe and expectation.

"Chen Sui, how do you feel?" Li Wenjing asked worriedly. Ever since Chen Sui became the linker, they could all feel the distant yet intimate aura emanating from him.

Chen Sui smiled and shook his head, "I'm fine, stronger than ever. Now, let's complete the final ritual."

Arthas walked slowly towards an ancient stone tablet, which was engraved with runes and shone with a mysterious luster in the sunset. "It is here that we can gather the power of all guardians, awaken the dormant ancient power, and stabilize the foundation of the world."

"We are ready." Lin Feng, Zhou Lili, Zhao Lei and Li Wenjing responded in unison, their hands tightly clasped together, surrounding the stone tablet. Chen Sui stood at the front, the key of time and space in his hand shone brightly, echoing with the runes on the stone tablet, releasing a dazzling light, illuminating the entire square.

"What happened? Is it a miracle?" Among the onlookers, a woman pulled her child and stared in amazement at the wonder before them.

"Look, that is..." A young man pointed up in amazement, and saw a crack in the sky, from which light poured down, turning into strands of soft light, slowly pouring into the stone tablet.

Suddenly, the ground shook, and an ancient voice rang in everyone's ears. It was the whisper of the guardian, which had traveled through thousands of years and conveyed the final guidance and power.

"Success!" Zhou Lili shouted excitedly. She saw a beam of light rising into the sky from the stone tablet, as if connecting heaven and earth, bringing an unprecedented harmony and tranquility.

"But darkness will not give up so easily." The wise man's voice penetrated the jubilation, his eyes solemn, "The real battle has just begun."

"No matter what we face, we will face it together." Lin Feng looked at his companions, and there was an unyielding flame burning in everyone's eyes.

"That's right," Chen Sui's voice was calm, but it revealed unquestionable firmness, "because we are the guardians of the world." Just as the crowd was immersed in the joy of victory, an ominous cloud approached quietly, covering the sky that had been bright just a moment ago, and a cold wind blew, making people shiver.

"It seems that the enemy can't wait any longer." Zhao Lei clenched the weapon in his hand, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.

"Then we will give them the response they deserve." Li Wenjing's words were filled with a firmness that should not be underestimated.

The wise man stepped forward and gently patted Chen Sui on the shoulder. "Be prepared, the real test is about to come. Remember, even in the darkest moment, you must believe that light will eventually come."

"We understand." Lin Feng answered on behalf of everyone. They stood in a circle, put their hands on each other's shoulders, and formed an indestructible line of defense.

"No matter how dangerous the future may be," Chen Sui's voice echoed in the square. His eyes pierced through the dark clouds, as if he had seen the battle in the distance. "As long as we are united in heart, there is nothing we cannot overcome."

"Look over there, is that them? The group of legendary heroes?" An old man in the crowd pointed at the five people who were gradually gathering, his voice full of excitement and awe.

"Really! I heard that they have the power to change the world." The young man next to him spoke up, with a longing gleam in his eyes.

Chen Sui and his group walked into the crowd, and every step seemed to step on people's heartstrings, inspiring waves of amazement and whispers of encouragement. Their figures became the most dazzling light in the city, bringing hope to people in despair.

"Chen Sui, can you really defeat that terrible enemy?" A little girl mustered up her courage, squeezed out of the crowd, looked up at Chen Sui, her eyes filled with curiosity and endless trust.

Chen Sui squatted down, gently touched the little girl's head, and smiled: "Each of us has a sword in our hearts, which is the love for our homeland and the hope for the future. As long as this sword does not fall, there will be no enemy that cannot be defeated."

The little girl nodded as if she understood, with an innocent smile on her face. The audience around her was also infected by this simple and pure confidence, and applause and cheers rang out one after another.

Just as the atmosphere was getting heated, a burst of hurried footsteps came from a distance, and a guard ran over in a panic, reporting breathlessly: "Report... Report! A large number of strange beasts appeared outside the city... and are approaching quickly!"

The crowd immediately fell into panic, but the five warriors quickly exchanged glances, which showed trust and determination without words.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. We will take care of everything." Zhao Lei stood forward with his chest out. His voice was firm and powerful, bringing a sense of reassurance to everyone.

"Chen Sui, what should we do?" Zhou Lili looked at Chen Sui. Although there was nervousness in her eyes, there was more expectation and determination.

"According to the plan." Chen Sui said softly. He closed his eyes, feeling the deep connection between the Key of Time and Space and his soul. A new power awakened in his body. He seemed to be able to see every detail and every breath.

"Lin Feng, you take half of the people to evacuate the people and ensure their safety. Zhao Lei, you and I will meet the enemy head-on and buy time. Li Wenjing, Zhou Lili, you will be responsible for the flanks and support us at any time." Chen Sui gave orders calmly, and every word revealed his unquestionable leadership.

"Understood!" The four answered in unison, then dispersed to carry out their respective tasks, while Chen Sui and Zhao Lei walked straight to the city gate. Their backs were stretched out in the setting sun, and they looked particularly lonely but heroic.

Outside the city gate, the ground was shaking, and a dark mass of strange beasts were rushing in like a tide, their eyes burning with greed and desire for destruction, which made people shudder. However, when Chen Sui and Zhao Lei stood on the city wall, facing the terrifying torrent, their momentum did not weaken at all.

"Chen Sui, can we really win?" Zhao Lei's voice was small but powerful.

Chen Sui raised his head, looking at the night that was about to fall, and raised a faint smile, "As long as there is light in your heart, the darkness will eventually be dispelled."

Just as the words fell, the first wave of strange beasts rushed to the city, the drums of war roared, and the battle was about to begin...

"Remember our oath. We will never leave each other until the end of the world." Chen Sui whispered, and the Key of Time and Space in his hand suddenly burst out with a bright light, illuminating the entire battlefield and projecting their figures in everyone's heart, becoming an immortal legend.

"For light, for the future!" Zhao Lei responded, unsheathing the sword in his hand. A flash of cold light cut through the sky, sparking a burst of high-spirited shouts.

Under the city wall, passers-by and soldiers witnessed all this, and their conversations intertwined into a hymn of courage:

"Look, Chen Sui and the others are like the ancient gods of war descended to earth!" A young soldier said excitedly to his friend beside him, with reverence in his eyes.

"I never thought that our ordinary days would become so magnificent because of them." The companion next to him sighed, tightly gripping the crossbow in his hand, ready to respond to the call at any time.

"Is this the power of the guardian? It's so shocking!" A civilian woman covered her chest with her hands, deeply moved by the scene before her. Tears welled up in her eyes, but her face was filled with unprecedented pride and strength.

The beasts' attacks became more and more fierce, and their screams intertwined with the roars of the warriors on the city wall, forming a unique melody of this war. Just when the battle was at a stalemate, Chen Sui and Zhao Lei's cooperation reached its peak, one attacking and one defending, like the yin and yang of Tai Chi, endless, making every attack exert its maximum power.

"Chen Sui, your strength... has become even more incredible!" Zhou Lili and Li Wenjing maneuvered on the flanks, supporting the central battlefield from time to time. They were most directly aware of the changes in Chen Sui, and their tones were filled with shock, but more of a heartfelt joy.

"It's not just me. It's everyone's strength combined that creates the miracle." Chen Sui responded while fighting. Every time he swung the Key of Time and Space, it seemed to inject power into every life on the battlefield.

As the battle continued, the panicked crowd gradually calmed down, helping the wounded or organizing themselves to provide supplies to the frontline soldiers. In this life-and-death struggle, everyone contributed in their own way, and this strength gathered together to become a solid foundation for the city to survive.
