Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

Chapter 945 Accident

Lin Xier squatted down, touched the child's head, and smiled gently: "As long as you have a dream in your heart and chase it bravely, one day you will become a hero in the eyes of others."

"Well, can I join you in the future?" The child's eyes were full of longing for the future.

Raymond Lam smiled and replied: "When you are ready, the world will open its doors to you. Remember, every great adventure starts with a small dream."

Lin Feng and his group were taking a short rest that night when the silence was suddenly broken by the sound of rapid horse hooves and cries. A blood-soaked messenger staggered to their campfire and only managed to utter a few words while gasping for breath: "Village...attack...help..." before falling down helplessly.

The soldier immediately stepped forward to check the messenger's injuries, his face darkened: "It's too late, he didn't make it. But we must go to that village to see, maybe we can still save someone."

The four of them packed up their bags quickly, knowing that this trip was extremely dangerous, but justice and responsibility did not allow them to sit idly by. They rode their horses at full speed, their hearts full of vigilance and anger at the unknown threat.

The sky was just beginning to turn pale, and they had already arrived at the village shrouded in darkness. The scene before them was like a Shura field, with flames lingering in the ruins, corpses lying everywhere, and pools of blood mixed with helpless cries and weak cries for help.

Lin Feng tightly grasped the Void Staff and said in a deep voice: "Spread out and look for survivors. At the same time, pay attention to safety. We cannot lose anyone."

They shuttled through the ruins, and every time they found a survivor, it was a heart-wrenching touch. The female wizard continued to release healing magic, trying her best to save every possible life, while Lin Xier comforted the frightened children in her own way, bringing them a sense of peace of mind.

"Who did this?" the soldier roared, looking around at the tragic scene, his fists clenched and his joints creaking.

"Looking at these traces, it should be the work of the Dark Cult." The female sorceress said after checking a few special symbols. Her voice trembled rarely. "They want that crystal."

Lin Feng's face turned pale, and he slammed his fist on the ruins: "We can't let them succeed. We must find their traces and prevent this from happening again."

Just as they were about to conduct a further investigation, an old survivor staggered out, tears mixed with dust covering his old face: "Warriors, it is... a man emitting black energy. He took away the crystals in the village, saying that he wanted to open the 'Gate of the Abyss'. We are just ordinary people, powerless to resist..."

Hearing this, Lin Feng's eyes flashed with determination: "Gate of the Abyss? We must not let such a disaster spread. Friends, let's track down the man in black and protect this world from harm."

Their decision was admired and appreciated by the survivors. A child tugged at Lin Xier's clothes, with fear and hope in his eyes: "You must win and avenge us!"

"Don't worry, kid." Lin Feng leaned over and gave him a firm promise, "We will let light dispel darkness and let the truth come to light."

The group set out again, this time the goal is no longer an unknown adventure, but a direct confrontation with evil. They followed the clues, crossed the desolate wasteland, crossed the dark forest, and each encounter with the dark forces further confirmed the opponent's strength and madness.

Outside a hidden cave, they finally found the mysterious man surrounded by black air. He was performing some kind of ritual and the air around him was distorted by his presence.

"Hand over the crystal, or you will be destroyed along with the rest of this world." The man's voice was like ice, piercing the soul.

"We will never allow people like you to tarnish the beauty of this world." Lin Feng stepped forward, and the Staff of Void shone with the light of justice.

The battle is about to start. This time, it is no longer a simple trial, but a battle of revenge for innocent lives. The warrior's axe cuts through the darkness, the sorceress's spell illuminates the night sky, and Lin Xier's sand of time weaves a mist around the enemy, leaving the opponent nowhere to hide.

“You really surprise me, but let’s see your real power!” The man in black roared, and the black air around him expanded instantly, forming a huge dark vortex.

Just as everyone was struggling to resist and almost exhausted, Lin Feng suddenly remembered that low and mysterious voice: "Remember, every victory is a transcendence of self..."

As soon as he thought about it, the Void Staff emitted an unprecedented dazzling light, and time seemed to freeze at this moment. Lin Feng's voice was calm and firm: "The real power comes from the persistence and pursuit of light in our hearts. You will never understand."

As the words fell, the black gas suddenly dissipated, and the man in black showed a look of shock and unwillingness, and finally turned into ashes. The crystal slowly fell from mid-air and returned to the female mage's hands intact, emitting a purer light.

When they returned to the ruined village, the villagers were sad but also saw hope. An elderly woman held Lin Feng's hand, tears welling in her eyes: "You are true heroes. May the stars guide you and may the light be with you forever."

"We just did what we had to do." Lin Feng comforted softly, but his eyes looked firmly into the distance, "Darkness can never cover all the light, as long as we are still standing here."

"Yes, you are not only heroes, but also the beacon in our hearts." A young villager said excitedly, and the people around him nodded, their eyes full of admiration.

The soldier wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "Don't make us sound so great. We are ordinary people who just chose to stand on the side of light."

The sorceress gently stroked the recovered crystal, and the flowing light on it seemed to tell a story: "This victory is only the beginning. The power of darkness still lurks in the shadows of the world. We cannot let our guard down."

Lin Xier lowered her head and gently touched those eyes longing for comfort with her fingertips. The children surrounded her. Their trust and dependence made her heart stronger: "We will keep moving forward until every inch of land is filled with sunshine."

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps interrupted this brief peace, and a young messenger came running over breathlessly, his eyes full of anxiety: "Warriors, please come quickly, there is something strange happening in the City of Dawn in the east, the sky is covered by an ominous layer of dark clouds, and the protective barrier in the city is beginning to shake!"

Hearing this, Lin Feng looked solemn and turned to look at his companions. Without further ado, everyone's eyes already showed a consensus: "We must set off immediately. If the City of Dawn falls, it will be a major blow to the entire continent."

"Let's go, comrades." The soldier raised his arms and shouted, with an unstoppable momentum. He looked at the messenger and said, "Lead the way. We will set off immediately."

As they prepared to set off again, the crowd burst into warm applause and encouragement. A child grabbed the corner of Lin Xier's clothes, looked up and asked, "Auntie, will you come back?" Lin Xier squatted down and touched the child's head, with a gentle but firm light in her eyes: "We are travelers and guardians. As long as this world needs light, we will always be on the road."

The group set out on their journey again, with the villagers' expectant eyes and deep blessings behind them. As the night fell and the stars twinkled, they set out on the road to the City of Dawn, and every step was full of unknowns and challenges.

On the way, they passed a remote town. When the residents saw them, they started talking about them. An old man stopped what he was doing, pointed at them and said to the people around him: "Did you see them? Those are the heroes we've heard of. They're heading to the City of Dawn to fight against the darkness. I really hope I can see them return victoriously."

A woman nearby echoed, "Yes, we have been praying for them since the news spread. We are lucky to have such warriors protecting us in this era."

What they didn't know was that this conversation happened to be heard by Lin Feng and his group who were passing by. Although they did not stop, a warm feeling surged in their hearts. The trust and support from ordinary people was more powerful than any sword or magic.

"We are not only fighting for ourselves, but also for every face behind us that yearns for light." Lin Feng said in a low voice, his eyes more determined.

"No matter what awaits us ahead, as long as we stand shoulder to shoulder, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome." The soldier's words were loud and clear, echoing in the night.

The female magician and Lin Xier smiled at each other. There was no need for words to describe their tacit understanding. They both knew that on this journey, each other was their most solid support.

"City of Dawn, here we come." Following Lin Feng's words, they quickened their pace and moved forward towards the ominous dark clouds without hesitation.

A meteor streaks across the night sky, as if foreshadowing the approach of a great war, and their story will also leave a brilliant mark in this sea of ​​stars.

A gust of wind blew by, and Lin Feng suddenly stopped and listened. An inexplicable premonition made his heart tighten. He turned to his companions and said solemnly: "Wait a minute, there is a voice calling us..."

"Calling?" The female mage frowned and looked around. Apart from the whisper of the wind and the occasional roar of animals in the distance, there was nothing unusual around. "Lin Feng, are you sure this is not an illusion?"

Lin Xier also stopped, with curiosity flashing in her eyes: "Yeah, it seems that there is no one else here except us."

"No, this is not an illusion." Lin Feng closed his eyes and concentrated. The voice became clearer, as if echoing in the depths of his soul, guiding him. "East, the sound is coming from the east."

The warrior patted the axe at his waist and expressed his support without hesitation: "Then go ahead. No matter what it is, as long as it helps fight the darkness, we can't miss it."

The four of them adjusted their direction and followed the sound that Lin Feng had sensed, passing through the edge of the town and entering a deep forest. The moonlight was divided by dense branches and leaves, and scattered on the winding path in a mottled manner. The air was filled with the fresh scent of soil and vegetation, but also mixed with a subtle sense of tension.

As she was walking, the sorceress suddenly stopped, touched the air with her fingers, closed her eyes and listened, then opened her eyes and whispered, "There is a powerful magical fluctuation, and it is... friendly?"

Just as everyone was puzzled, the bushes in front parted, and an old man wearing a silver cloak and holding a long staff walked out slowly. He had a kind face and eyes like stars, shining with wisdom. "Welcome, brave travelers. I am Orion, the guardian wizard of the City of Dawn. It was me who summoned you through the ancient power."

Lin Feng walked forward, bowed slightly, and asked politely: "Respected Guardian Wizard, why did you call us? Is the crisis facing Dawn City more serious than imagined?"

Orion nodded slightly, a trace of worry flashing across his eyes. "The situation is indeed not optimistic. The dark cloud not only obscured the sky, but also weakened our protective barrier. More importantly, it hides a deeper threat - an ancient curse mark. If it is not removed in time, it may bring catastrophic consequences."

"Ancient curse?" The warrior's voice was filled with surprise that could not be concealed. "Is this related to the man in black we just defeated?"

"There is indeed a connection." Orion confirmed, "The man in black is just a pawn of the Dark Cult, and the real mastermind behind the scenes intends to use the cursed mark to open the portal to the abyss and release unimaginable evil."

The female mage frowned: "Then what can we do?"

A trace of determination flashed in Orion's blue eyes: "An ancient prophecy mentioned that four travelers carrying the heart of light will appear when darkness falls, and have the power to purify the curse. I believe that you are the travelers in the prophecy."

"Purify the curse..." Lin Xier repeated softly, her eyes becoming firm, "We are willing to try everything possible to protect this land."

"Very good." Orion smiled with satisfaction. "First, we need to go to the temple in the City of Dawn. There is an ancient book hidden there that records the method of removing the curse. But the journey is difficult and time is running out. We must set off immediately."

Led by Orion, the group rushed along a little-known path towards the temple of the City of Dawn. On the way, every passerby they met, whether busy merchants or patrolling guards, could not help but cast admiring or surprised glances at them, and whispered with praise for the group of heroes.

"Look, they are the legendary warriors who fight against darkness!"

"Really? They don't look much stronger than me."

"Don't underestimate their appearance. I heard that they once saved a village. Even the lackeys of the Dark Cult were no match for them."

These conversations drifted into the ears of the four people with the wind. Instead of making them proud, they aroused a deeper sense of responsibility and urgency.

Finally, in the darkest hour before dawn, they arrived at the temple. Ancient stone pillars supported the dome, and the interior was filled with a solemn and sacred atmosphere. Orion led them to the library, where a yellowed ancient book lay quietly on the top shelf of the stone bookshelf. The cover was engraved with complex runes, emitting a faint light.
