Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

Chapter 982 Footsteps

Just as they were thinking, they heard hurried footsteps in the distance, and a messenger came running over breathlessly. "Messenger of Light! Urgent news! An unknown energy fluctuation has appeared on the eastern coastline. It seems that something is awakening. The villagers are terrified and urgently need your help!"

Hearing this, the four of them looked at each other and understood each other without saying anything. Kevin stood up, put away the map, and his eyes flashed with determination: "Let's go. No matter what lies ahead, we must face it. Because we are the messengers of light."

As their figures gradually disappeared into the night, the lights in the town lit up one by one, as if to guide them and to light up the light of hope for the world. The residents who stayed behind looked up at the starry sky with awe and expectation, and talked about it.

"They are always like this, not afraid of any difficulties, just because they have light in their hearts."

"Yes, the messenger of light makes us believe that even the deepest darkness cannot cover up the brilliance of human nature."

On the way to the frozen land in the north, the messenger of light encountered unprecedented challenges. A sudden storm swept through their camp, and in the blizzard, an unknown and powerful evil force approached silently.

"Be alert, my friends!" Leo's voice trembled in the cold wind. He drew his sword and looked with a sharp gaze, trying to penetrate the wind and snow to identify the enemy.

In the center of the storm, a huge black shadow slowly appeared, accompanied by a low roar. It was the embodiment of Xiee's power, an ancient and powerful existence. It opened its arms, as if to swallow up all the light between heaven and earth.

The battle was about to start, and the messengers of light quickly formed a formation, each showing their strengths to fight against this sudden enemy. However, this time the opponent was extremely powerful, and each attack carried the destructive power of tearing space. Even Lin Feng was seriously injured under the impact of this force.

"We must... distract... its attention..." Lin Feng struggled to utter these words, blood dyed the corners of his mouth red, but the unyielding fire still burned in his eyes.

Alvin and Leah worked in perfect harmony, using the elemental power of wind and light to create illusions in an attempt to confuse the enemy, while Leo used his speed advantage to harass the enemy constantly and buy time. However, the evil force seemed to have endless endurance, and no matter how hard they tried, they could not deliver a fatal blow.

"It seems... I can only use that..." Lin Feng held on to his body and took out an ancient relic from his arms with difficulty - this was the mysterious rune stone they obtained in their previous journey, which was said to contain the power of their ancestors.

"Lin Feng, what are you talking about? That thing is too dangerous!" Alvin was shocked. He knew very well that although the power of the rune stone was strong, it could also bring unpredictable consequences.

"There is no choice... For everyone... For the world..." Lin Feng's will was extremely firm. His hand gently touched the rune stone. In an instant, the rune stone burst into dazzling light and merged with his body.

At that moment, Lin Feng's body was enveloped by a divine power that could not be described in words. He was like a god of war descending to the earth, and every move he made carried the power to purify everything. The evil power gradually weakened under his attack, and finally dissipated in a deafening explosion.

After the battle, the messengers of light sat around Lin Feng, who had fallen into a coma due to overexertion. Alvin gently checked his injuries, his face full of worry: "His body has endured too much, I don't know when he will wake up."

Leah held Lin Feng's hand tightly, tears welling up in her eyes: "But he did it, and protected us again."

Just as everyone was worried, Lin Feng's eyelids trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes, revealing a gentle smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine. We... still have to keep moving forward, don't we?"

"Lin Feng!" Alvin and others were surprised and delighted, and surrounded him closely.

"Yes, we still have a long way to go." Lin Feng sat up. Although he was weak, his eyes were still firm. "Every time we fall, it means we stand up stronger. As long as we are together, there is nothing we can't overcome."

In the deep night, under the starlight, the figures of the messengers of light appear particularly small, but their determination and faith are as bright as the stars, illuminating the way forward.

"So, next stop, the frozen lands of the north?" Alvin asked, his tone filled with new strength and determination.

"That's right." Lin Feng responded with a smile and looked into the distance, which was an unknown and challenging land. "No matter how many difficulties there are in the future, as long as we have light in our hearts, we can illuminate the whole world."

Just as they were about to embark on their journey again, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats broke the tranquility of the night. A knight in silver armor galloped from the northern mist, his horse panting and stopping steadily in front of the Messenger of Light. The knight jumped off his horse and knelt on one knee. The scroll in his hand shone with a mysterious light: "Respected Messenger of Light, I am the messenger of the Guardian of the North, and I have been ordered to come here for help. The core of the ancient frozen land, the Ice Heart, has recently experienced abnormal fluctuations, which seem to be related to the evil force you just defeated. Our protective barrier is under unprecedented threat, please be sure to help us."

Passersby stopped and looked at the scene in surprise, with discussions breaking out one after another.

"Look, even the Guardian of the North has come to ask for help. The Messenger of Light is truly a legendary hero."

"Yes, they always appear in the most difficult times and give us hope."

"It would be great if I could go on adventures with them!"

The messengers of light looked at each other, their eyes full of determination and fearlessness in the face of unknown challenges. Leo stepped forward, helped the messenger up, and said in a steady voice: "Inform your master that the messengers of light will immediately go north. It is our mission to protect the peace and light of this world."

The journey to the north was more difficult than expected. On the frozen land, the biting cold wind cut the skin like a knife, and even breathing became a luxury. Along the way, they encountered nomadic tribes who lost their homes due to the cold wave and witnessed the forgotten ancient ruins under the ice. Every stop made them have a deeper understanding of the challenges they were about to face.

"We, the people of the north, have long been accustomed to coexisting with the cold." An old tribal leader looked at the departing team of light messengers and said to his people, "I hope these outsiders can really bring about changes and let this land be bathed in sunshine again."

After several days of arduous journey, the messenger of light finally arrived at the entrance of the Ice Heart, where the northern guardians gathered. They were wearing heavy armor and had serious expressions. The surface of the Ice Heart was covered with twisted magic patterns, releasing a disturbing atmosphere.

"Welcome, messenger of light." The oldest of the Northern Guardians took a few steps forward and said in a steady and powerful voice, "Your arrival may be the key to our resistance against darkness. However, the danger within the Heart of Ice is beyond imagination."

Lin Feng stepped forward, his eyes burning with rage: "No matter what the challenge is, we will face it head-on. Lead us into the Heart of Ice and uncover its secrets." Led by the Northern Guardian, the Messenger of Light stepped into the abyss of the Heart of Ice. Their firm footsteps echoed in the cold corridor, and the air was filled with the interweaving of the ancient and the unknown. Suddenly, the road ahead was blocked by a huge ice wall, in the center of which was a gem that shone with a faint blue light.

"This is the core of the Ice Heart. It is said that it contains the power to maintain the balance of the frozen land." Leah said softly.

  Just as everyone was staring at it, the gem suddenly emitted a strong light, and an illusory figure emerged from it. It was the prophet who had been sleeping for a thousand years!

"Messenger of Light, your journey is not over yet." The prophet's voice echoed in the empty Ice Heart. "The Ice Heart is not just a treasure. It is one of the veins of the world, connecting to the source of all power. The evil forces are trying to control it to break the balance, and you will be the key to stopping all this."

The messengers of light looked at each other, and then Lin Feng asked firmly: "How to do it? We need specific guidance."

"Find the 'Key of Destiny' deep in the Heart of Ice. It can unlock the secret of balance, but it will also bring out the threats lurking in the dark. Remember, only by truly understanding the balance between light and darkness can you lead the world towards peace." The prophet's words seemed to come from a distant time and space, but every word struck their hearts.

"We understand." Alvin clenched his fists, his eyes showing both determination and worry. "No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will move forward."

The expedition to the Heart of Ice is full of unknowns and dangers, but in the heart of the Messenger of Light, there is a light that never goes out. It is the belief in light and the commitment to world peace.

Just as the messengers of light were preparing to explore deeper and find the "key of destiny", a strange vibration came from deep in the ice wall, and the heart of ice seemed to respond to their decision. Cracks spread around their feet, and the ancient ice made a crackling sound, like the whisper of history.

"Be careful!" Leo pulled Leah, who was about to fall, over, while Alvin quickly deployed a protective barrier to stabilize the surrounding ice. "This place is more unstable than you thought."

"It seems that our actions have caused some kind of reaction." Lin Feng murmured, his eyes fixed on the crack, as if trying to see through the hidden secrets.

At this moment, the gems on the ice wall suddenly flickered, and a beam of light guided a secret path to the inside. As the messengers of light carefully followed the light deeper, the surrounding ice began to show strange brilliance, and the ancient runes carved in the ice wall seemed to come alive, telling stories and prophecies of the past.

"Look over there!" Leah pointed to a mural with interlaced light and shadow. The painting depicted the battle between light and darkness, as well as the figure of a hero holding the "Key of Destiny". "This must be a guide."

As he went deeper, the scene inside the Ice Heart became more bizarre, with a faint magical fluctuation flowing in the air. Suddenly, a sneer echoed in the empty ice room, and a low and malicious voice sounded:

"Foolish messengers of light, what do you think you can change? The secret of the Heart of Ice is beyond your reach!"

"Who is whispering in the dark?" Leo looked around vigilantly, the sword in his hand ready to fight any sudden attack.

A shadow slowly separated from the ice wall and condensed into a human shape, a ghostly existence wrapped in black mist. His eyes were like the abyss, staring coldly at the messengers of light.

"I am the guardian of this realm, the Forgotten Shadow. Your intrusion has awakened the sleeper who should not have awakened."

"If we don't intervene, the balance will be completely broken." Lin Feng took a step forward, his voice firm and calm, "No matter who you were, you must step aside now and let us complete our mission."

The Forgotten Shadow let out a piercing laugh, and then his figure flashed, transforming into countless clones, attacking the messengers of light. The battle broke out again, this time in this frozen maze, and every step was full of unknowns and dangers.

Passerby A: "Did you hear that? There seems to be a battle over there! It's the messenger of light. What are they fighting against?"

Passerby B: "Legendary heroes always stand at the forefront of the world and fight against darkness."

In this battle between light and darkness, the messengers of light displayed unprecedented tacit understanding and strength. They used their respective talents and elemental powers to defeat those clones one by one until the forgotten shadow's main body was re-condensed.

“Your strength is indeed beyond our expectations, but if you want to obtain the ‘Key of Destiny’, you still need to pass the final test.” There was a hint of respect in the voice of the Forgotten Shadow, and then he turned into a puff of black smoke, merged into the ice wall, and opened a door to the unknown.

Behind the door was a bright space, with a softly glowing key suspended in the center, which was the "Key of Destiny". However, it was surrounded by a complex magic chain, so it was obviously not easy to obtain.

"This is the final test. Unlock the chains, obtain the 'Key of Destiny', and at the same time unlock the secrets of the world." The voice of the Forgotten Shadow echoed in the space, and then gradually faded away.

Lin Feng took a deep breath and turned to his companions: "Together, there are no chains that cannot be undone, and no trials that cannot be overcome."

The four of them formed a circle and gathered the power of the elements, forming a powerful energy flow that was injected into the chains. With a series of roars, the chains began to loosen and eventually broke, and the key of destiny slowly fell into Lin Feng's hands.

"We did it!" Leah cheered, her smile shining brightly.

"But this is just the beginning." Alvin reminded, his eyes showing both expectation and vigilance. "The threat mentioned by the prophet may appear at any time."

"That's right, we have to get back outside as soon as possible and prepare to face greater challenges." Lin Feng tightly grasped the "Key of Destiny", and the light bloomed in his hands, illuminating the way home.

Just as the Messenger of Light was about to leave this mysterious space, a more violent tremor than before was heard, and the entire Ice Heart seemed to be trembling. For a moment, ice chips flew everywhere, and a huge ice crystal fell from the ceiling, almost hitting them.
