Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

Chapter 916 Forbidden Land
There are many challenges in the forbidden area:
The first forbidden area that Zhao Lei and Li Wenjing stepped into was a forest of eternal night, where the vegetation moved on its own, like living things. Facing the numerous obstacles in the forest, Zhao Lei swung his sword to cut off all obstacles, while Li Wenjing's arrows accurately broke through the threats in the dark, and the cooperation between the two became more and more tacit.

"Are you sure this is the right road?" Li Wenjing asked anxiously.

"Trust me, and believe in the keys in our hands." Zhao Lei raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes full of determination.

On the other side, Zhou Lili walked alone in the abandoned city ruins, which were covered by thick dust of time. Every step seemed to be on the edge of the past and the future. Under the ruins, she found an ancient library, where the knowledge was like a sea of ​​stars, making her feel like she was in another world.

"It turns out that the truth of history is so shocking." Zhou Lili exclaimed in a low voice. A light flashed in her hand, and a scroll of ancient book automatically unfolded. Sparks of wisdom danced in her eyes.

Raymond Lam and Li Qianqian entered a forbidden area called "Phantom City", where everything is a maze of illusion and reality. Relying on each other's intuition and their persistent belief in light, they gradually revealed the true face of the illusion.

"As long as there is light in your heart, you will not be afraid of any darkness." Lin Feng said softly to Li Qianqian. They smiled at each other and continued to move forward.

On the eve of the decisive battle, the discussion among passers-by escalated again:

"Are they really going to fight that...that thing?" Fear and hope were intertwined in people's words.

"If it's them, I believe it's possible." An old man's voice sounded particularly firm. He looked up at the sky, where the dark clouds seemed to be telling that the end of the world was approaching.

At this moment, the five people, carrying the treasures they obtained from the forbidden land, met in an open valley. There was no hesitation in their eyes, only a firm belief in victory and trust in each other.

"Is everything ready?" Lin Feng asked.

"Just waiting for this moment." The four people answered in unison. They stood in a circle, and the treasures in their hands emitted a warm light, as if heralding new hope.

Just as they were preparing to unite as five to launch the final offensive, the dark force in the sky seemed to notice something, and the sky became more oppressive, as if warning them of their challenge.

"Come on, let the light shine through all the darkness." Lin Feng looked up at the sky, his tone full of determination.

"Light is our only weapon." Li Qianqian followed closely behind, her voice firm, and the bow in her hand seemed to have become a bridge connecting light and darkness.

"Everything we do is for our homeland and our future." Zhao Lei's voice was deep. The tip of his sword pointed at the ground. A warm force overflowed from the tip of the sword and gradually spread.

Zhou Lili closed her eyes and clasped her hands together. The space around her seemed to fluctuate because of her will. She whispered softly: "Knowledge is power. History will bear witness to our courage."

"No matter what the challenge is, it can't stop us from moving forward." Li Wenjing's words were gentle but powerful. The ancient book in her hand glowed slightly, and the light of wisdom gathered around her.

The five people stood in a circle, their powers blended silently, forming a dazzling barrier of light, a symbol of light and hope. Passers-by around them stopped and watched this scene in shock and awe, with discussions rising one after another.

"Look, that's... the legendary light barrier!"

"They really did it and used their strength to protect us."

"What a magnificent sight! I have never seen such a beautiful sight. It seems that even the darkest corners are illuminated."

As everyone was amazed, the dark power in the sky seemed to feel an unprecedented threat, and it began to churn violently, trying to devour the weak but tenacious Shield of Light. However, as the five people became more and more determined, the Shield of Light not only did not weaken, but gradually expanded outwards, dispelling the surrounding darkness bit by bit.

"This... is this true? Can light really defeat darkness?" A young child asked with wide eyes, holding his mother's hand.

The mother stroked her child's head, her eyes full of hope: "Yes, as long as we have courage, wisdom and faith, light will eventually dispel all darkness."

Just as the battle between light and darkness reached its climax, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky, through which a ray of warm sunlight shone, a long-lost natural light. The crowd burst into deafening cheers, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.

"Did we... succeed?" There was a hint of disbelief in Li Qianqian's voice.

"It's not over yet," Lin Feng's expression remained serious, "The real enemy is still in the dark. We must find its source and eliminate it completely."

"Together, until the end." Zhao Lei, Li Wenjing and Zhou Lili responded in unison, their determination unbreakable.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the five brave men set out on a new journey. Their backs stretched out in the sunlight, leaving behind a series of unwavering footsteps. There may be more challenges ahead, but at this moment, they are fearless because they believe that light is always waiting for them ahead.

“Whether it is light or darkness, where will the final answer be revealed?” An old man stood in the crowd, his eyes traveling through time and space, as if he had foreseen a key moment in the future.

Just when the story seemed to be coming to an end, a distant and mysterious call came from afar. The voice was neither male nor female, as if it was directly transmitted into everyone's heart, with an irresistible calling power.

"Find the 'Key of Time' and open the door of destiny. The real trial has just begun..."

…” As soon as the words fell, the air around them seemed to freeze, and everyone’s expressions became extremely complicated at that moment, with curiosity, nervousness, and excitement about the unknown challenge.

Zhao Lei turned to look at his companions, his eyes full of determination: "It seems that our journey is far from over." "The Key of Time, the Door of Destiny... This sounds like an ancient legend." Li Wenjing frowned, but there was a gleam of eagerness in his eyes.

"Every challenge is a test for us." Zhou Lili clenched the ancient book in her hand, the light of wisdom flowing around her, "This time is no exception."

Lin Feng and Li Qianqian exchanged glances. There was no need for further words. The tacit understanding between them told each other that no matter what the road ahead held, they would fight side by side.

"Where does that mysterious voice come from? What does it mean?" A young man next to a passerby asked in confusion, and his words aroused the approval of the people around him.

"Perhaps, this is a test for all of us." Lin Feng's voice was loud and clear. He looked around at the crowd gathered around him. "Whether it is light or darkness, the final decision is in our hands."

"The Key of Time, this sounds like the key to a new world." Li Qianqian murmured, her eyes looking towards the distant horizon, as if looking for the source of the sound.

"A new world may also mean new crises," Zhao Lei reminded. He was well aware of the dangers that may be hidden behind every progress.

"No matter what awaits us ahead, we will not retreat." Li Wenjing said firmly, and her tone inspired everyone present.

Just as everyone was discussing and preparing to embark on the journey again, a white-haired old man slowly walked forward, his eyes filled with the vicissitudes of life and profound wisdom. "Warriors, remember, the great feats in history are often accompanied by sacrifice and perseverance. You are not only fighting for yourself, but also for the world."

The five heroes had solemn expressions on their faces, knowing full well the responsibilities and missions they shouldered. Under the gaze of the crowd, Lin Feng took a step forward and announced loudly: "No matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as there is light in our hearts, there is hope. Let us face the unknown together, uncover the mystery of the 'Key of Time', and open the door to our destiny."

After the words fell, the crowd burst into warm applause and cheers. They were full of confidence and expectations for these five brave explorers. At this moment, the five brave men hugged each other tightly. They knew that the next journey would be more difficult, but they were willing to work hand in hand until the end of the world.

“Then let’s go!” Zhao Lei’s words sounded like a command. The five of them turned around and embarked on a new journey to search for the “Key of Time” and unlock the secrets of their destiny.

As the figures of the five heroes gradually walked away, the crowd who stayed behind were still immersed in excitement and anticipation. Their conversations revealed their infinite curiosity about the future and deep respect for the heroes.

"They are truly our hope. It's incredible to think about it." A young woman sighed, with longing in her eyes.

The old craftsman next to him shook his head, his beard swaying slightly with the movement: "Incredible? No, this is what they deserve. Everyone has light in their hearts, they are just braver than us to pursue it."

"But what exactly is that 'Key of Time'? It sounds like a legendary treasure." A child tugged at his mother's clothes, his face full of curiosity.

The mother bent down and patiently explained: "My child, many things in this world are much more mysterious than we know. The key of time may be the key to open the door to the past and the future, or it may contain the power to rewrite destiny."

At this time, a traveler in simple clothes joined the discussion: "During my travels, I once heard an ancient prophecy that when the world falls into the darkness of despair, five warriors will hold the instruments of light, unlock the secrets of time, and lead us into a brand new era."

The discussion in the crowd became more and more heated, and everyone interpreted this upcoming great adventure and the profound meaning it contained in his own way.

In the distance, Zhao Lei and his group of five were traveling through the wilderness full of dangers. Their mutual trust and understanding grew stronger with each challenge. As they walked, Lin Feng broke the silence: "The voice just mentioned the Gate of Destiny. Where do you think it is?"

Li Qianqian looked at the rolling mountains and whispered, "Perhaps, in those places where few people go, there are countless ancient secrets hidden."

"No matter where it is, as long as we unite as one, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome." Zhou Lili's words were like a shot in the arm, lifting everyone's spirits.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the winding path, gilding the journey of the five brave men with a golden outline. According to the guidance of the ancient map, they were heading for a legendary ruins - a place that was said to contain clues about the "Key of Time". The trees whispered in the breeze, as if foreshadowing the unknown challenges ahead.

"Everyone, be careful. No one has ever found the location of the ruins marked on the map. There may be many hidden traps." Zhao Lei, who was walking in front, lowered his voice and looked around vigilantly. In the shadows, the ancient stone statues seemed to be spying on their whereabouts, adding a bit of mystery and uneasiness.

Before he finished speaking, an unusual chill suddenly filled the air, and then there was a slight rustling sound in the grass around him, as if something was approaching quietly.

"There's an ambush!" Li Qianqian was quick-eyed and quick-handed. She quickly pulled the bow of light in her hand to its full extent. The arrow flashed dazzlingly at her fingertips and was aimed at a bush.

"Wait, don't do it yet." Lin Feng stopped her. His intuition told him that the situation might be more complicated than he thought. "What we are facing might be a creature guarding the ruins, or the result of some mechanism being triggered."

Just as they were on guard, a group of ghost soldiers wearing tattered armor and holding rusty weapons emerged from all directions. Their translucent figures were eerie, and there seemed to be endless resentment in their empty eye sockets.

“It seems that these are the souls of ancient warriors who have been unable to rest in peace and are bound here by some force.” Zhou Lili said softly, her hands unconsciously clenching the ancient book, and the light of wisdom began to flow between the pages, as if seeking an answer.

"In that case, let us be their liberators." Li Wenjing smiled indifferently, and the ancient book in his hand suddenly released a soft light, surrounding everyone and forming a protective shield to keep the ghost warriors' resentment out.

"We can't just fight head-on. We have to find a solution." Zhao Lei looked around and finally landed his gaze on a protruding boulder in the distance. There seemed to be a faint light flickering there. "That should be the key. We should split up and try to avoid fighting and attract their attention."

The plan was set, and the five people quickly dispersed. Zhao Lei and Li Qianqian used their speed advantage to attract the attention of a large number of ghost warriors; Lin Feng used his mastery of light to create a series of intricate light and shadow traps to disrupt their actions; Zhou Lili and Li Wenjing carefully approached the boulder, hoping to find the key to solving the puzzle.

"There is an ancient rune array here." Li Wenjing squatted down and gently touched the marks on the boulder with her fingers. After pondering for a moment, she began to chant a spell in an ancient language. Zhou Lili assisted her, transforming the knowledge in the ancient books into tangible power and injecting it into the runes.
