Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

Chapter 941 Lost
Passerby A, a traveler who accidentally got lost here, witnessed this scene, his mouth opened so wide that an egg could almost fit in. "Is this... is this magic? I must be dreaming!" He muttered to himself, the surprise and disbelief in his eyes were clearly visible.

"Yes, we didn't expect to find such a miracle here." Lin Feng replied with a smile. He felt the shock of passerby A, but his heart was calm. He knew that they had touched the deep secrets of the world.

"You... who are you? Where is this place?" Passerby A asked stutteringly. He was obviously deeply shocked by this extraordinary scene.

"We are travelers looking for the truth, and this place may very well be the key to solving all mysteries." The sorceress explained, with a hint of mystery in her voice.

"It's amazing! If people from my hometown knew about this place, they would be excited!" Passerby A said excitedly, his expression full of envy and yearning.

"But not everyone can bear the weight of this power." The warrior reminded, his eyes stern, as if warning passers-by that some secrets are better left buried deep.

At this moment, a low echo came from the depths of the cave, as if something was awakening, and the magical fluctuations in the air became more intense. The four exchanged glances and understood that the next challenge was coming.

"We are leaving. You'd better stay here. It's safe here." Lin Xier said gently to Passerby A. She didn't want this innocent traveler to be caught up in the coming storm.

"Take care, warriors! May you succeed!" Passerby A waved his hand vigorously and watched them go deeper into the mysterious light until their figures completely disappeared from sight.

Going deep into the core area, they encountered unprecedented challenges. The ancient guardian beast awakened from its slumber, its huge body covering the sky, its eyes like burning suns, emitting terrifying light. Lin Feng and his three companions stood back to back, facing this behemoth without the slightest fear.

"We can't retreat, for the sake of this world, in order to prevent the power in our hands from becoming the source of destruction." Lin Feng's voice was unusually firm amid the roar of the giant beast.

"Then let's face it together!" Lin Xier shouted, the dagger spinning in her hand, emitting a sharp light.

As the battle horn sounded, the surrounding environment seemed to respond to their determination, and a strange power filled the air, providing them with support. Every blow of the warrior's axe carried the power of a landslide, the female mage's elemental spell turned into a gorgeous storm, Lin Xier's dagger was like a silver snake shuttling through the wind and rain, and Lin Feng, with the Void Staff, guided this power and condensed it into an unstoppable torrent.

Just as the battle reached its climax, a deafening roar resounded throughout the core area, and the huge body of the beast fell down, followed by a moment of tranquility and the joy of victory.

"We did it..." Lin Feng breathed softly, and the Void Staff in his hand emitted a soft light, as if responding to his emotions.

"But this is just the beginning. We still have to figure out the root cause of all this and the true purpose of the Void Staff." The sorceress reminded, her expression turning serious.

"Yes, there are still more unknowns waiting for us." Lin Xier looked into the distance, with curiosity and determination in her eyes.

"As long as we are together, there are no difficulties that cannot be overcome." The soldier patted everyone on the shoulder. The tacit understanding and trust between them were stronger than ever.

At this moment, a deep voice sounded in their minds: "The real trial has just begun..."

The four of them were startled and looked at each other, with surprise and vigilance flashing in their eyes. This voice was both familiar and strange, as if it came from the Void Staff, and also seemed to come from a deeper unknown.

"Staff of the Void, are you speaking?" Lin Feng asked softly. He gripped the handle of the staff tightly, trying to find the source of the voice.

“It’s not just a staff, it’s also the connection between this forest, this world, and even all existence.” The voice echoed, full of an ancient and mysterious aura. “You have unlocked my seal, but to truly master my power, you still need to go through more tests.”

"A test?" The female sorceress frowned. "We have gone through countless hardships and obstacles in the process of searching for you."

"Those are just the prologue. The real challenge is to verify whether you are qualified to become a guardian." There was unquestionable majesty in his voice.

"Guardian? Guarding what?" Lin Xier was puzzled, her eyes flashing with a gleam of curiosity.

"Protect this world from being eroded by shadows, and prevent evil forces from using their powerful strength to do evil." The answer seemed to uncover a piece of dusty history, making the air heavy.

The warrior looked around at everyone and said firmly, "Since we have been chosen, we will face any challenge head-on."

"Very good. The first test is to lift the curse in the deepest part of the Shadow Forest. It is a source of ancient evil that has long polluted this land." The voice gave the first task and then fell silent, as if waiting for their decision.

"We have no choice, right?" Lin Xier said half-jokingly, but her expression showed that she was prepared.

"There will never be a perfect choice, only the courage to keep moving forward." Lin Feng chuckled, turned around and looked into the unknown depths, "Friends, are you ready?"

"Never stop until we die!" The warrior and the female mage responded in unison. The four of them had eyes full of desire for the unknown and an indomitable spirit in the face of challenges.

Just as they were getting ready to embark on a new journey, a gust of wind blew by, bringing a distant whisper: "Remember, true power comes from the heart, not from external things..."

Lin Feng and others stopped and looked back at the way they came, only to find that the passerby they met by chance appeared at the entrance of the cave at some point, waving at them with a mysterious smile on his lips, and then turned into a ray of light and dissipated into the air.

"He is..." Lin Xier asked doubtfully, but then realized that it didn't matter. "No matter who he is, what he said makes sense." Lin Feng pondered for a moment and looked at the Void Staff in his hand. "Let's go, for this world and for ourselves."

The four of them set out on their journey again, each step more determined, with both anxiety about the unknown and determination for their mission. There seemed to be an invisible force in the depths of the Shadow Forest, guiding them and testing their will.

As they were walking, they encountered a group of tribesmen who were collecting herbs at the edge of the forest. Their simple faces were filled with astonishment and awe. An elderly villager held a medicine basket in his hand and said in a trembling voice, "Are you the legendary heroes? The elders in our tribe often said that only true warriors can go deep into the heart of the shadow and untie the ancient curse."

Lin Xier smiled gently, bent down and patted a child on the head: "We are just seeking the truth and the path of protection. You must also be strong and protect this land and your home."

The child's eyes sparkled with admiration, and he whispered, "When I grow up, I want to be a warrior like you!"

"You have ambition!" the soldier laughed loudly. His figure planted the seeds of dreams in the child's heart.

As the journey deepens, challenges come one after another. Not only do they have to deal with the cruelty of nature, but they also have to solve ancient puzzles and traps. With each test passed, the Void Staff will reveal more mysteries, as if recognizing their efforts and determination.

In front of a forgotten relic, a complex mechanism blocked the way. Just when everyone was at a loss, Lin Feng suddenly had an inspiration. He chanted softly, and the light of the Void Staff became brighter, resonating with the stone carvings of the relic. The mechanism slowly started, revealing a secret path leading to the Heart of Shadow.

"Incredible!" the female sorceress exclaimed. Her fingers gently stroked the stone wall, as if she was conversing with the wisdom of thousands of years ago.

Passing through the secret passage, they came to a desolate land eroded by a curse. The sky was a strange dark purple, and even the air was filled with depression and despair. Lin Feng took a deep breath and said firmly: "This is our goal, to lift the curse and restore vitality here."

Just as they were preparing to act, a ragged wanderer staggered out. When he saw the Void Staff in Lin Feng's hand, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Finally...Finally, I have waited for this moment...I am a descendant of evil forces. My ancestors caused this disaster because of their greed for power. I am willing to spend the rest of my life to atone for my sins. Please let me go with you!"

The four looked at each other and finally decided to give him this opportunity. The addition of the wanderer brought unexpected help to the team. He was familiar with this land and knew how to avoid more traps and dangers.

After several days of hard work, they finally found the source of the curse - a black crystal containing powerful evil energy. After a fierce battle, the crystal shattered, the curse disintegrated, and the sun penetrated the clouds and shone on this forgotten land for the first time.

Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of victory, the wanderer slowly walked towards Lin Feng and handed him an ancient fragment: "This is the only remaining legacy of my family. It contains the final secret of the Void Staff... and, an even more difficult task..."

Lin Feng took the fragment and stared at the blurred words on it, feeling mixed emotions. He turned to his companions and said firmly: "No matter how many difficulties there are in the future, as long as we work together, there will be no challenges that cannot be overcome."

The female mage nodded, the warrior clenched his fists, and Lin Xier smiled with a hint of mischief: "What are you waiting for? Let's go on a new adventure!"

"Yes, a new adventure, here we come!" Lin Feng responded with a smile, and the four of them embarked on the journey again, but this time, their steps were more firm, and their hearts were full of determination to solve all the mysteries.

Crossing the newly grown grass, they came to an old village. The villagers were jubilant because the curse had been lifted. Children were running freely in the bright sunshine, and tears of gratitude shone in the eyes of the elderly. An old village chief came forward, held Lin Feng's hand, and said excitedly: "Thank you, our heroes! It is you who brought light and drove away the long-standing fear."

Lin Feng shook his head modestly, "We should thank you for your trust and support. It is our joint efforts that have created this light."

At one side, the female magician bent down to talk to a curious child. The child opened his eyes wide and asked with admiration: "Auntie, how do you use those cool magic? I want to learn it too!"

She smiled. “Magic comes from inner strength and respect for nature. When you learn to listen to the voice of the world, power will naturally find you.”

This conversation was heard by a young man nearby. He nodded thoughtfully and whispered to his friend: "Look, this is a true hero. He not only has great power, but also humility and wisdom."

Lin Feng and his three companions bid farewell to the village and continued their journey. Soon, they entered a misty forest surrounded by ancient legends, where it was said that there was a gate to another world hidden, which was also the key to the source of the power of the Void Staff.

As they passed through the fog, they heard a melodious song that appeared and disappeared, which led them to look for it everywhere. Finally, they found a singing elf woman by a clear lake. Her eyes seemed to hide the starry sky, and her voice was as beautiful as the sound of nature.

"Welcome, brave travelers. Your journey is difficult, but also glorious. I have also heard the story of the Staff of the Void. If you are willing, I can guide you to a place that may reveal more secrets." The elf woman's words were gentle but powerful.

"We are willing to follow your guidance." Lin Feng answered on behalf of everyone. They knew that every help and guidance was a precious gift on their way forward.

The elf woman smiled and nodded, leading them through a series of intricate mazes, and finally came to a hidden temple. The door of the temple slowly opened, and an ancient and powerful energy wave rushed towards them, making people palpitate.

"This is the place you need to find, the boundary between void and reality, the testing ground of strength and wisdom. Remember, the answer is not in the outside world, but deep in your heart." The words of the elf woman seemed to foreshadow the severe test that was to come.

The four of them looked at each other without saying a word, but their eyes conveyed endless faith and determination. As the door opened completely, a strong light enveloped them, and then everything returned to calm.

When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves standing in an unknown space. The light of the Void Staff was brighter than ever before, as if it was guiding them to some unknown destination.

"It seems that the final trial is about to begin." Lin Feng said in a deep voice, his hand tightly grasping the Staff of the Void, his eyes burning with the desire to explore the unknown.

The female sorceress echoed softly, "No matter what the outcome is, we are ready. We have witnessed too many miracles and learned too many things along the way."
