Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

"Dark Forest..." Leah said softly, with both anticipation and anxiety in her eyes, "If that is really our next destination, it will probably not be easy."

"The more difficult the place, the more our value can be demonstrated." Leo clenched his fists, his eyes burning with fighting spirit, "I am willing to be the first to enter that forest and clear a path."

"We go together, no one will be left behind." Lin Feng reiterated, his tone full of strength and determination, making everyone present feel the warmth of unity.

As they were discussing, a ragged, dusty traveler stumbled in front of them, and his arrival caused an uproar among the people around them. "Please...save my village...the monsters in the dark forest...they have invaded us..." The traveler spoke incoherently, almost collapsing.

The crowd started talking again, full of sympathy and worry, but more of it was hope for Lin Feng and his team. "Look, the real heroes have appeared!" "They will help you, don't be afraid!"

Lin Feng squatted down, looked directly at the traveler who asked for help, and said firmly: "Take us to your village, we will not let darkness cover the innocent."

The light of hope reappeared in the traveler's eyes, and he held Lin Feng's hand tightly, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

In this way, Lin Feng and his companions embarked on a new journey. This time, their goal was no longer the distant and mysterious "Gate of Shadow Realm", but the tortured land in front of them - the Dark Forest. The villagers walked out one after another and watched them go away, with both reluctance and deep respect in their eyes.

"May the light guide your path." An old woman's voice rang out among the crowd. Her simple words seemed to inject strength into everyone.

The team gradually walked away, leaving behind only the inspired faces and the expectations and trust that lingered in the air for a long time.

"Can we do it?" In the team, the young Alvin quietly asked Lin Feng beside him, his eyes showing both fear of the unknown and trust in his partners.

Lin Feng stopped and turned to face the crowd. His voice was not loud, but loud enough for everyone to hear: "As long as we believe in light and believe in each other, nothing is impossible. The Dark Forest is not the end, but another starting point for us to make the world brighter."

Jason raised his sword to the sky, his smile was particularly dazzling in the sun: "Then let us keep moving forward until there is no more haze in the world."

As the words fell, the figures of Lin Feng and his companions gradually merged into the distance. Wherever they passed, they left behind a trail of firm and hopeful footprints. Just as Jason said, they were not only travelers in search of light, but also messengers who spread light.

Just as Lin Feng finished speaking, an ominous gust of wind suddenly swept over, and the sky suddenly became gray, as if an invisible hand was tearing away the light. The air around them solidified, and a depressing atmosphere enveloped the entire team.

"It seems that our determination has attracted the attention of something." Leo narrowed his eyes, his hand unconsciously placed on the hilt of the sword, ready to deal with the impending threat.

"Is it the enemy?" Leah looked around nervously, trying to catch any trace of the enemy, but she found that the enemy this time seemed different from before, invisible and powerful.

"It's not just an enemy, it's more like... a malicious force spreading directly from the depths of the dark forest." Kevin's face was solemn, and the scroll in his hand moved without wind, emitting a faint light, as if warning of the impending crisis.

Just as everyone was on guard, the ground suddenly shook, and twisted shadow beasts broke out of the ground. They had different shapes, exuding ominous black aura, and their eyes burned with greed and hatred like torches.

"Prepare for battle!" Lin Feng shouted, and his body turned into a ray of light and rushed towards the nearest shadow beast. The Key of Harmony shone in his hand, and every swing was precise and powerful, purifying the land infected by darkness.

"Concentrate your firepower and protect each other!" Jason followed closely behind, his sword flashing like a dragon, fighting side by side with Lin Feng. Their cooperation was seamless, and every confrontation sparked dazzling sparks.

Alvin quickly set up a defensive barrier around the team, and the light flowed, providing everyone with valuable buffer space. "Keep the formation, don't give them a chance to split us!"

Leo was like a cheetah in the dark night, shuttling between the shadow beasts. His attacks were swift and deadly, and each move was accompanied by a flash of lightning, accurately hitting the enemy's vital points.

Leia's healing light jumps across the battlefield, providing instant recovery for injured companions. At the same time, her singing is like a spring breeze, giving everyone the courage and strength to persevere.

"The light will not go out, and evil will eventually retreat!" Her voice was clear, penetrating the noise of the battlefield and inspiring everyone's heart.

Just as the fierce battle was in full swing, a huge shadow beast king slowly emerged. Its appearance made the surrounding shadows even thicker, as if even the light was swallowed up.

"Is this the mastermind behind this? Come on!" Lin Feng's eyes shone brightly. He knew very well that this would be a decisive showdown, which concerned not only their fate, but also the future of those innocent villagers.

"We are with you!" The companions responded in unison, and their figures surrounded Lin Feng, forming an indestructible wall of light.

The battle reached its climax. The confrontation between Lin Feng and the Shadow Beast King seemed to be the ultimate contest between light and darkness. Every collision shook the heaven and earth and released a shocking power.

Just when everyone tried their best and seemed to be at a stalemate, Lin Feng suddenly remembered Selina's teaching: "The real light lies not only in fighting against darkness, but also in the awakening of the heart."

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. The source of light deep in his heart was completely awakened. An unprecedented powerful force emerged. The Key of Harmony emitted a dazzling holy light, instantly illuminating the entire battlefield.

"Let the light guide us forward!" Lin Feng shouted loudly. He waved the key in his hand, and an arrow of light flew out of his hand and hit the center of the Shadow Beast King directly, purifying it in an instant. The remaining shadow beasts also dissipated under the strong light.

The battle was over, and the light once again filled the earth. Everyone was tired but full of relief.

Just when everyone thought that everything had calmed down and were planning to return to the village to help rebuild, a dark crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and a strange energy that had never been seen before surged out of it. It was a wave mixed with despair and chaos, which made everyone's heart tighten.

"Is this... a power from another dimension?" Kevin looked at the crack in shock. The ancient scroll in his hand automatically turned the pages and stopped at a picture depicting a similar scene. There were blurry words attached to the side, which seemed to predict the arrival of this moment.

"It seems that our journey is more complicated than expected." Leo sheathed his sword, his brows unable to hide his worry, "This kind of power is not something we can contend with at the moment."

"No matter what we face, we should not retreat." Lin Feng's eyes were firm. "Now that we have been involved, we must find a solution. Alvin, can you feel the source of this power?" Alvin closed his eyes and concentrated. His fingers gently stroked the air, outlining complex magic symbols. After a moment, he opened his eyes with a solemn expression: "The source is not in this world, but there is a voice... calling us."

"Calling us?" Leah asked in surprise, "Is that... a call for help? Or a trap?"

"No matter what it is, we have to get to the bottom of it." Lin Feng said resolutely, "If someone needs help, or if there is a bigger threat behind this, we can't just sit there and do nothing."

Therefore, the group decided to go deep into this unknown crack and step into a completely unfamiliar area. As they approached step by step, the surrounding scene began to distort and deform, and the laws of space seemed to lose their meaning here.

Inside the crack is a strange world made up of disordered time and space. The sky presents strange colors, and islands of various sizes and shapes float on the ground. Some are covered with ice and snow, some are flowing with magma, and some are covered with huge and strange vegetation. The whole scene is both magnificent and dangerous.

"Who... who is this?" Jason exclaimed in amazement and looked around vigilantly, with the sword in his hand ready at all times.

"Be careful, the rules here may be completely different from what we know." Kevin warned, and the scroll in his hand began to automatically record these unprecedented scenes, as if he was also curious about this new environment.

As they explored carefully, a deep and ethereal voice echoed in their minds: "Finally... we have arrived... the Messenger of Light..."

"Who is talking?" Leah looked around nervously, but couldn't find the source of the voice.

"Don't be afraid. I am the guardian of this dimension. I have been guarding here alone for a long time, waiting for the brave man who can break the boundaries." There was a hint of fatigue and expectation in his voice.

"Who are you? Why did you summon us?" Lin Feng asked directly.

"I was once one of the guardians of many worlds, but I failed in an inter-dimensional war and was imprisoned here. Now, only with the help of the pure power of light from outside can I reseal the evil that threatens all worlds." The guardian's explanation was a bit heavy.

"Seal the evil? Then what do we need to do?" Leo's tone revealed his eagerness to try.

"Follow me, time is running out. We must complete the ritual before that power detects it." The guardian's voice led them to an ancient altar suspended in the void.

Arriving at the altar, everyone discovered that it was engraved with obscure runes, with a dimly glowing crystal ball in the center, which seemed to be closely related to the stability of the entire dimension.

"The power of light in the crystal ball is almost exhausted, and we need your heart of light to replenish it." The guardian's voice guided them to form a circle and pour their respective powers into the crystal ball.

"Together, for the light!" Lin Feng stretched out his hand first, and everyone responded, gathering their own beliefs and strengths together. A dazzling light rose from their palms and gathered in the crystal ball.

As the light grew stronger, the surrounding environment began to change. The crack gradually shrank, and the guardian's form gradually became clear. It was a warrior covered in brilliant light, with the joy of rebirth in his eyes.

"It worked... Thank you, messengers of light. You not only saved the world, but also freed me." The guardian's voice was full of gratitude.

"So, what will you do?" Lin Feng asked. They were full of respect for this long-suffering guardian.

"I will look for the next place that needs me and continue to protect the peace of this universe." The guardian smiled slightly, then turned into a beam of light and disappeared into the sky.

When they returned to the familiar village, they were greeted by the villagers' excited cheers and endless gratitude. Lin Feng and his companions continued their journey of finding and spreading light with more determined steps.

"This is more than just a victory," Lin Feng looked around at his companions, his eyes flashing with unprecedented determination, "It reminds us that no matter how vast the world is, light and hope will always be our most powerful weapons."

“Moreover, we have learned to cross boundaries and reach those seemingly unreachable entities.” Jason clenched his fists with a confident smile on his face.

"Yes," Leia chuckled, with stars in her eyes, "We are no longer just travelers, but a bridge between different worlds."

Leo looked into the distance, where they were about to set off. "Where will be the next stop? What kind of adventure awaits us?"

Kevin spread out the ancient scroll, and the mysterious words on it were quietly changing, as if guiding a new destination, "No matter where you are, as long as there is light in your heart, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome."

Alvin smiled and put his hands on everyone's shoulders. "Our story will become a legend, inspiring future travelers to keep moving forward."

Just as they were immersed in their vision of the future journey, a gentle breeze blew by, bringing a strange leaf with a peculiar totem painted on it, like an invitation letter from an unknown world.

"Look, this is..." Leah picked up the leaf, and everyone gathered around, curious about this strange token.

"It seems that new challenges are beckoning us." Lin Feng took the leaf, his eyes flashing with curiosity and anticipation for the unknown. "No matter what the road ahead holds, as long as we are together, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome."

"That's right," Jason straightened his chest and pulled in his stomach, pointing his sword at the blue sky, "As long as the fire in our hearts is not extinguished, we can illuminate every dark corner."

As the sun sets, their shadows are elongated and reflected on the path on their way home. At this hopeful moment, they set out on their journey again, not only to solve the unknown mysteries, but also to spread light to every corner in need.

"Let's go, partners," Lin Feng's voice was firm and warm, as if it was a declaration for the future, "Let our footsteps become a chain of light connecting the world." (End of this chapter)
