Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

Chapter 946 Curse

"This is the book. It records everything about the curse." Orion gently brushed away the dust on the book and turned the thick parchment pages.

As Orion interpreted, obscure ancient texts were revealed one after another, and the materials and steps required for the ritual of removing the curse gradually became clear. But just as they were concentrating, a loud noise was heard outside the temple, followed by a deafening roar, and the ground shook.

"It's too late. The power of darkness has begun to attack the barrier!" Orion's face changed and he quickly closed the ancient book. "We must act immediately and prepare the ceremony according to the instructions in the book."

"We understand." Lin Feng said firmly, "No matter what kind of enemy we face, we will complete our mission."

They quickly gathered the necessary materials and returned to the dark clouds over the city with the belief in victory. As the ceremony progressed, the hearts of the four were closely connected, forming an invisible force that fought a desperate battle with the ancient curse mark.

At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to sense the threat and began to roll violently, with lightning and thunder, as if it was a final warning. But after that fierce light, the dark clouds slowly dissipated, revealing a long-lost ray of dawn.

When the first ray of sunlight fell on the tired but determined faces of Lin Feng and his team, there were bursts of exclamations and cheers all around. People flocked to the streets to witness the birth of this miracle, and in their eyes, in addition to gratitude and awe, there was more hope for the future.

In the crowd, an old man excitedly said to the young people around him: "You see, light will eventually defeat darkness, just as these heroes have shown."

The young man nodded, his eyes sparkling with longing: "One day, I will become a person like them and protect this hard-earned peace."

At this time, Lin Feng and his group stood on the city wall, looking at the dark clouds gradually moving away and life gradually returning to normal. They knew that this was just the beginning of the journey and more challenges were waiting ahead.

Lin Feng turned around and said to his companions: "This time, we not only defended the City of Dawn, but also proved the power of light. But as I said before, as long as there are shadows in the world, our journey will not stop."

"Yes," the warrior responded firmly, "whenever and wherever there is a need for light, we will be there."

The female mage smiled and looked into the distance: "Where will the next stop be?"

Lin Xier gently stroked a small hourglass and whispered, "No matter where we are, we will be shoulder to shoulder until the last trace of darkness is dispelled by light."

"It seems that fate has paved the way for us," Lin Feng stared at the sky with a far-reaching gaze, "But before that, we should go back to report the good news to Wizard Orian and thank him for his guidance."

They returned to the temple. Orion was standing in the middle of the library, looking at the gradually brightening sky outside the window with a relieved smile on his face. When he saw Lin Feng and the others, his eyes were full of praise: "I knew you could do it. Dawn City and even the whole world should thank you."

"Guardian Wizard, it is actually your wisdom and this ancient book that give us the power." Lin Feng humbly handed the ancient book back to him. The runes on the cover of the ancient book seemed to be more dazzling in the morning light.

Orion took the ancient book and stroked it gently, as if talking to history: "This power belongs to those who have the courage to face the darkness. But please remember that although the curse has been lifted, the dark power behind it has not completely dissipated, and your journey will continue."

On the side, the female mage frowned and thought: "So, where should we look for clues next?"

"There is a place," Orion said slowly after a moment's silence, "in the far west, there is a forgotten ruin called 'Shadow Valley'. It is said that it was once a place where ancient magicians practiced and it also hides the secret of the origin of dark power. Perhaps it can point you in a new direction."

Upon hearing this, the warrior gripped the axe handle tightly, his eyes sparkling. "Shadow Valley? It sounds like a challenging place. Let's get ready to set off now."

"Wait a minute," Lin Xier said softly. She looked at Orion. "Along the way, we met many people who longed for light just like us. Although they were weak, they had hope in their hearts. How could we abandon them and go on alone?"

Orian smiled and nodded in approval: "Your concerns are justified, Lin Xier. True light not only drives away darkness, but also lights up the hearts of others. I will organize a team to spread the message of light, teach them how to protect themselves, and at the same time find more people with bright hearts to join you."

"In this way, our strength will be even greater." Lin Feng looked at his companions firmly, and everyone saw the undying faith in each other's eyes.

They bid farewell to Orion and set out on their journey again. When they left the City of Dawn, a mother stood by the city gate holding her child and whispered to them: "Look, children, those are our heroes. They are heading to unknown places to bring us hope. One day, you will become such people too."

The child's eyes sparkled with longing and he nodded vigorously. The scene at that moment was deeply imprinted in everyone's mind.

  On the way, they met all kinds of passers-by, each of whom expressed their admiration and support for them in their own way:

"They are the legendary travelers. I heard they can purify the evil curse. It's incredible!"

"My brother also wants to be a warrior like them, but unfortunately he is in poor health..."

“They make us believe that even the deepest darkness cannot obscure the existence of light.”

These words accompanied their footsteps, turning into an invisible force, inspiring Lin Feng and his team to keep moving forward.

Finally, on an evening with a blood-red sunset, they arrived at the entrance of Shadow Valley. The valley was filled with chilly winds, and the surrounding rocks seemed to be engraved with the vicissitudes of time and secrets. Lin Feng stopped and looked back at his companions: "Here, perhaps the answer we have been looking for is hidden."

"Are you ready, friends?" Lin Xier's voice was firm, and her hands gently stroked the staff, as if sharing the upcoming adventure with it.

"Always." The warrior's voice was like an ancient war drum, stirring courage in people's hearts.

The female sorceress nodded, her eyes flashing with curiosity and determination about the unknown: "No matter what secret is hidden, we must uncover it."

The four of them walked into the Shadow Valley, which was filled with mist. Every step seemed to be stepping on the dust of history. The shadows around them seemed to be crawling like living things, and there was an unsettling atmosphere in the air. "This place... is really different." Lin Xier said softly, her voice echoing in the valley, attracting the cries of several unknown creatures.

"Indeed, Shadowglen is more than just a place. It is the junction where past and present, light and darkness intertwine." Orion's guidance echoed in their hearts, as if laying out a spiritual map for them in advance.

As they went deeper, they came across a group of explorers. Those people were poorly equipped, but their expressions revealed determination.

"Are you here to find answers too?" a bearded middle-aged man asked curiously, and his companions behind him gathered around.

"In a sense, yes." Lin Feng answered simply, trying not to reveal too much information.

"I heard that there are powerful treasures hidden here, and some say that this is the door to another world." A young explorer's eyes lit up, as if he had seen endless wealth and glory.

"Behind treasures and doors, there are often greater challenges." The female mage smiled faintly. Her words silenced the people around her and made them re-examine the traveler in front of them.

In the heart of Shadow Valley, they found an ancient altar, which was engraved with strange runes. In the center was a gem that emitted a faint light. The light was particularly dazzling in the dim environment.

"Is this... what we are looking for?" Lin Xier asked softly, her fingers hardly daring to touch the mysterious gem.

"Be careful," the soldier looked around warily, "It's too quiet here, unnaturally quiet."

Just as they were preparing to conduct further research, a burst of hurried footsteps approached from afar, and several figures in strange costumes rushed out. The old man in the lead had madness in his eyes: "We finally found it! This 'Fragment of the Heart of Light' will be the key to our control of the world!"

"What?!" The four people were shocked and quickly formed a defensive formation, but what they didn't expect was that the old man and his followers were instantly filled with dark magic, inexplicably blending with the atmosphere of Shadow Valley.

"You are too late," the old man sneered, "This Shadow Valley is originally the cradle of dark power. Our power will be infinitely magnified here."

The battle was about to break out. Although Lin Feng and his party fought bravely, the enemy took advantage of the terrain and was evenly matched. Just as the battle was at a stalemate, a passing traveler witnessed it all. He was an old bard. Seeing that the righteous were in a difficult battle, he quickly took out an ancient harp. As his fingers danced, the melodious melody penetrated the hustle and bustle of the battlefield.

"Listen, that is the song of hope and the power of light!" The poet's words inspired everyone present, including the explorers who were just watching.

As they sang, Lin Feng and his friends seemed to be enveloped by a warm light, their strength doubled, and they eventually turned the situation around and pushed back the forces of darkness.

After the battle, they sat around the altar, with the fragment of Heart of Light lying quietly in the middle, emitting an even brighter light.

"This is not only a victory, but also a new beginning." Lin Feng stroked the fragments gently, as if communicating with them.

"That's right," the sorceress nodded, "Our journey is to let the light shine in every corner, and now, we know more about the power of our companions."

"Yes, the light is never alone." The warrior's voice was full of emotion. He looked at his companions and the explorers who stood up in the battle to fight against the darkness. "Look around us, everyone is part of the light. As long as we unite, there is no darkness that cannot be overcome."

A young explorer, with traces of battle still on his cheeks, stared at Lin Feng in awe and said excitedly: "You...you are really the legendary messengers of light! My brother would be very proud if he could see this scene!" There was an unprecedented determination flashing in his eyes. This was the fire that was ignited deep in his heart after witnessing the victory of light over darkness with his own eyes.

Lin Xier gently patted the young man's shoulder and smiled, "Everyone can be the hero of his own story. Your brother's hope continues to burn in you. We are fellow travelers, not lonely travelers."

At this time, the old bard slowly walked over, his harp gently placed beside him, his eyes sparkling with wisdom: "Your story will become the ballad of the future, inspiring more people to pursue the light. But remember, behind every legend, there are new challenges waiting to be conquered."

"The poet is right." Orion's voice suddenly rang in everyone's mind. He connected to them through some kind of magic. This unexpected connection made everyone surprised. "Shadow Valley is just the tip of the iceberg. The deeper dark forces are stirring. But you have proved that the power of light and hope cannot be extinguished."

Lin Feng held the Heart of Light fragment tightly. The light it emitted seemed to resonate with his heartbeat. "Then, we can't slack off at all. At the next stop, we must find the remaining fragments and completely stop the spread of darkness."

"And we will accompany you all the way." Several new explorers said in unison, their tone firm, their eyes full of desire for the unknown and courage to face challenges.

The female sorceress stood up and looked into the distance, where the vague outline of the next destination was: "Then, let us prepare to set off. Every departure is a big step towards the light."

"But how many fragments of the Heart of Light are there? Where are they scattered?" Lin Xier asked softly, with both expectation and worry in her eyes.

"This is exactly the question we need to answer." Lin Feng answered, his eyes firm and full of confidence. "No matter what the answer is, as long as we have light in our hearts, we can illuminate the way forward."

As the sun set, they packed up and set out on their journey again. When they left Shadow Valley, the passers-by who had been inspired by their courage, as well as the new companions, waved goodbye to them silently. A child shouted loudly: "You must come back and tell us more adventure stories!"

Raymond Lam looked back and smiled at the yearning child: "We will, because every bright story is to illuminate more hearts."

Their figures gradually faded away and merged into the afterglow of dusk, leaving behind only the sound of their firm footsteps echoing in Shadow Valley and the whispers of passers-by who watched them leave with hope and longing in their eyes.
