Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

Chapter 954 No Lack

"Yes, they are our heroes!" A little girl held her mother's hand and looked at the team returning from the battle in the distance with admiration on her face.

In the crowd of people celebrating, Lin Feng's friend found the traveler who had originally shared the information about the demon, and asked with a smile: "Next stop, do you have any information? We still have a long journey ahead of us."

The traveler was stunned for a moment, then his eyes sparkled with excitement: "There is a place, said to be ruled by the Undead King, called Shadow City. If you can really bring light there, then the darkness of the entire world will be exposed."

“Shadow City?” Lin Feng’s friend looked toward the distant horizon, his eyes gleaming with new determination. “It sounds like a challenge, but we are ready. The light will not stop as long as there are people waiting in the darkness.”

“Then, let’s set off again.” The female mage walked to the side of Lin Feng’s friend, tapped the ground with her wand, and a beam of light rose, illuminating her resolute face. “Whether it’s Shadow City or somewhere further, as long as there is light in your heart, there is no place you cannot reach.”

The soldier patted his chest vigorously and laughed proudly: "Yes, no matter whether it is the Undead King or some demon or monster, as long as we are here, nothing is impossible!"

The little boy and girl smiled at each other, held hands tightly, and said confidently: "We will go together too. This time we want to show all the adults that children can also become stars that illuminate the darkness!"

The old man looked at this group of high-spirited young people with a look of satisfaction in his eyes: "Times are changing, but the inheritance of light will never die. I am old, but with you, there is hope for this world."

Amid the farewell and anticipation of the crowd, the team set out on their journey again. Their backs lengthened in the setting sun, and every step seemed to be telling the oath that light will shine in every corner.

"It's really inspiring. Even I want to keep up with them." A young traveler in the crowd sighed. He turned to his friend and said, "Next time, if we encounter difficulties, I hope there will be people like them."

The friend smiled and patted his shoulder: "Perhaps, each of us can become that kind of light. You see, they taught us that light is actually hidden in everyone's heart, waiting to be awakened."

As the conversation faded away, the story of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind became a legend, inspiring more people to pursue light and resist darkness. And Lin Feng's friends and his partners are moving towards the next unknown challenge. Their journey is to the sea of ​​stars and an endless journey to light.

"Shadow City, here we come." Lin Feng's friend whispered to himself, his eyes penetrating the scenery in front of him, as if he had seen the future battlefield. The battle there would be their biggest test so far.

"Hey, have you heard? Those heroes who defeated the demons are heading towards Shadow City!" In a busy tavern, two young men who looked like adventurers were talking excitedly, and their conversation immediately attracted the attention of people around them.

"Shadow City? That's the lair of the Undead King, a place that even the bravest warriors dare not easily set foot in." A sturdy man in heavy armor shook his head, and the beer glass in his hand trembled slightly. It was obvious that he was very interested in this topic.

"That's right, the Undead King, the legendary being who controls the power of death. Countless warriors have come forward, and in the end, all became eternal decorations in his territory." The tavern proprietress interrupted while wiping the cup. Her eyes revealed a hint of worry, but also a little expectation.

"But this time it's different. With Lin Feng and the others, I think we can even scare the god of death away!" The young adventurer slapped the table excitedly. The laughter and applause around him continued, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

"Hmph, that's easy for you to say. You haven't seen their strength with your own eyes." In the corner, a gloomy-faced man sneered, but was immediately suppressed by the dissatisfied looks from the people around him.

At this time, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and a ragged traveler staggered in, his whole body showing fatigue from a long journey. He walked straight to the bar and whispered in a hoarse voice: "Give me a glass of water, I have news."

The noise in the tavern suddenly quieted down, and everyone stared at the uninvited guest curiously. The proprietress quickly handed him a glass of water and asked with concern: "Traveler, what news do you bring?"

The traveler drank it all in one gulp and said slowly, "I met a group of strange fellow travelers on the road. They talked about the legend of the 'Key of Light', saying that it is the key to unlocking the mystery of the Undead King's immortality."

"Key of Light?" The crowd burst into exclamations. This word was like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples.

"It is said that this key is hidden deep in the Shadow City, and only a pure and innocent heart can touch its existence." A strange light flashed in the traveler's eyes, and his story aroused strong interest in everyone.

"Can they find the key?" the young adventurer asked impatiently.

"Who knows? But there is a light in their eyes that is similar to that of the heroes before, a determination to pursue light without fear of difficulties." The traveler answered meaningfully, then stood up and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!" The strong man suddenly stood up, walked to the traveler, knelt on one knee, and said solemnly: "Please take me to see them, I want to join them and fight for light."

The traveler smiled and helped him up: "You don't need to look for me. When you truly seek the light, the light will naturally lead you the way forward. Remember, everyone has their own battle in their hearts."

After saying that, the traveler disappeared into the night outside the door, leaving behind a group of people lost in thought. The strong man looked back at his companions, his eyes flashing with unprecedented determination: "He is right, our journey has just begun."

The tavern became noisy again, but the conversation this time was different. It was more of a vision for the possible future and thoughts about the role they could play in it.

In the distant Shadow City, a pair of deep eyes in the shadows seemed to sense all of this, and a sneer appeared on the corners of their mouths: "Key of Light? Interesting toy, come on, heroes, let me see if you can find a bright exit in the embrace of death."

Outside Shadow City, there is a desolate land, with withered trees and dying flowers telling of the despair here. The arrival of Lin Feng and his party broke the dead silence here. Every step they took seemed to fight against the dullness of this land, trying to awaken a trace of vitality.

"In this place, even the air is filled with the smell of death." The female sorceress frowned, and the magic wand in her hand emitted a soft light, bringing a ray of light to the surroundings.

"Yes, but the more this is the case, the more it proves that we should be here." Lin Feng's friend looked around, without any fear in his eyes, "We are here to put an end to this."

The little boy and girl followed the team closely, with a firmness that was not in line with their age on their faces. The little girl looked up and asked, "Brother, can we find the Key of Light and rescue those controlled by the Undead King?"

"Of course," Lin Feng's friend bent down and touched her head, "As long as we have light in our hearts, there is nothing we can't find." The team continued to move forward, and soon a huge black wall came into view. It was Shadow City. The city gate was closed, and the surroundings were terribly quiet, with only the whimpering sound of the wind blowing through the dead branches.

"This welcome ceremony is quite cold," the soldier joked, but his tightly gripped weapon showed that he was not relaxed in his vigilance.

Just as everyone was preparing to find a way to enter the city, the city gate slowly opened, and a team of skeleton soldiers lined up to march out. In the center was a figure wearing a black robe and holding a bone scepter. That was the envoy of the Undead King.

"Welcome to Shadow City, guests from afar. Our master is very interested in your visit." The envoy's voice was hollow and cold, but it echoed in the air.

"Does your master think that he can use the power of death to keep everything?" Lin Feng's friend took a step forward with a firm look in his eyes, "We are here to bring back the light."

“Light?” The envoy laughed dryly. “In this Shadow City, there is only eternal darkness. But I want to see how you can light up a ray of light in the endless darkness.”

After he finished speaking, the envoy waved the scepter in his hand, and groups of skeleton soldiers suddenly emerged from all around, forming a black mass and a wall of death.

"Looks like we have no choice but to force our way in." The warrior drew out his sword. Behind him, the sorceress's wand shone brighter, and a fierce battle was about to begin.

"For the light!" The little boy and girl also raised their small wooden swords. Their tender voices were full of courage, which brought a warm laughter to the team.

  The battle unfolded quickly. The team was outnumbered, but due to their tacit cooperation and unyielding will, they gradually broke through the encirclement of the skeleton soldiers.

“See! They Have No Fear of Death!”

"That is a true warrior, defending the light with his life."

“It would be great if I could be like them.”

During the battle, an old skeleton soldier seemed to be touched by this scene. It trembled and approached Lin Feng's friend, and said in a weak voice: "I was also a traveler who was looking for light, but was imprisoned here for eternity. You must succeed..."

As the last skeleton soldier fell, the envoy retreated back into the city gate, leaving behind a message: "Inside the city are the answers you want, but also the trials you cannot imagine. The Key of Light is not just a key, but also a mirror that tests people's hearts."

The team passed through the scattered bones, and the city gate slammed shut behind them, isolating them from the outside world and indicating that they had no way out. The female sorceress raised her wand, and the light shone brightly, illuminating the dim corridor ahead. The air was filled with an ancient and unknown atmosphere.

"Everyone be careful, every inch of land here may hide traps." Lin Feng's friend warned, his voice was calm, giving the team peace of mind.

The little girl tugged at the corner of Lin Feng's friend's clothes, her clear eyes sparkling with curiosity: "It's so dark here, can the Key of Light really be found?"

"As long as the light in our hearts is not extinguished, we can find the direction even in the deepest darkness." He answered gently and gave the little girl an encouraging smile.

As you go deeper, the Shadow City gradually reveals its strangeness and beauty, with stone walls carved with complex runes, ghosts occasionally passing by, and those seemingly randomly placed furnishings that actually contain hidden mechanisms. Every step forward is a test of wisdom and courage.

"There is a puzzle here, and it doesn't look easy." The soldier squatted in front of a secret room door with a complex maze pattern engraved on it.

  "Let me try." The little boy was eager to try. Although he was young, he had an extraordinary talent for solving puzzles. With everyone's encouragement, the little boy carefully moved his fingers along the maze path and finally found the right way out. The door opened and a faint light emanated from inside. It was the Key of Light!

"We found it!" the little girl cheered, her face filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment.

However, just as they were about to take it, the ground suddenly shook, and a huge undead beast emerged from the shadows, blocking their way. Its eyes were like the abyss, emitting a chilling light that captivated people.

"The test is coming." The female mage said softly, gathering the light of her wand and preparing for the battle.

The battle was more difficult than before. Every attack of the giant beast was accompanied by the tremor of the ground. Team members covered each other and fought together. The surrounding skeleton soldiers were constantly resurrected, forming waves of offensives.

"Hold on, victory is at hand!" the warrior shouted, his axe shining with the light of justice, cutting off the shackles of death.

Just as the battle was at a stalemate, Lin Feng's friend discovered that the Key of Light was glowing slightly, as if guiding him. "It's time!" He thought, and held the Key of Light in his hand. At that moment, the entire Shadow City seemed to be enveloped by a warm light. The reborn undead stopped moving, and the giant beasts also showed a look of fear and slowly retreated.

"This is..." Everyone in the team felt an unprecedented power surging in their bodies. It was the light from the depths of their souls, the desire for life and the fearlessness of darkness.

"This is the true power of the Key of Light. It awakens the light within each of us." Lin Feng's friend stared at the key in his hand, confidence flashing in his eyes.

As the light grew stronger, Shadow City began to collapse, and the Undead King's rule seemed to collapse. The team retreated quickly, and along the way, the undead controlled by the Undead King slowly knelt down, as if paying their last respects to them.

Finally, they rushed out of Shadow City, and what greeted them was a bright starry sky and the breath of freedom. In the distance, the former traveler and the strong man, as well as other people who were inspired by their deeds, were standing on the horizon, waiting for them.

"You did it!" the sturdy man shouted loudly, his eyes full of admiration and excitement.

"Yes, we did it." Lin Feng's friend responded with a smile. He looked at the Key of Light in his hand, but he knew in his heart that this was only the beginning of the journey.
