Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

"Leo, it seems that fate is guiding us." Lin Feng said softly, while walking carefully along the path, fearing to disturb the tranquility around him.

As we went deeper, the atmosphere of the forest gradually became solemn and mysterious. The branches and leaves of the ancient trees almost formed a natural arch, and stone pillars carved with strange runes began to appear on both sides of the path. Obviously, this was once a holy place of an ancient civilization.

"We're here." Lin Feng looked at the vague outline of the temple in front of him, and couldn't help but feel excited. This temple was forgotten by vines and time, but it still exuded an inviolable sacred atmosphere. He carried Leo on his back and stepped over the dilapidated threshold lightly, stepping into this sanctuary full of unknowns.

The interior space is not spacious, but gives people a sense of emptiness and depth. There is a stone altar in the center, carved with a radiant sun pattern, which is the symbol of the Heart of Light. However, the Heart of Light is not there, only a faint light flows on the stone surface, as if guiding the next step.

"Where exactly is the Heart of Light?" Lin Feng looked around and whispered to himself. At this moment, Leo's fingers moved slightly, as if he sensed something.

"Go...inside..." Leo uttered a few words with difficulty, his eyes cast towards the secret door behind the altar. Lin Feng did not hesitate, following Leo's instructions, and carefully pushed open the door that was almost integrated with the wall.

Behind the door was a stone staircase that extended downwards, and at the end was another world. There, a beam of extremely pure light emanated from an underground spring-like existence. It was the heart of light they had been looking for for a long time. It was suspended in the air, emitting warm and powerful power fluctuations, enough to purify all darkness.

Lin Feng walked carefully towards the Heart of Light, gently put Leo down, and then reached out to touch the light. Instantly, a gentle and powerful energy flowed through his body, and then he felt the light shining at the wound on Leo's back, and the shadow injury was gradually dissipating.

"Success!" Lin Feng turned around excitedly, and watched the pain on Leo's face gradually replaced by health, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

"Lin Feng, thank you." Leo sat up slowly, his smile full of the joy of rebirth, "It seems that the Heart of Light not only healed me, but also lit the way forward for us."

"Yes, and I have a feeling that with the help of the Heart of Light, we will be invincible." Lin Feng said confidently. The two looked at each other and smiled. That smile contained infinite longing for the future.

"Then let's set out again to meet more challenges and prove that no matter what kind of darkness we face, light and friendship can always illuminate our path." Leo stood up, tightened his sword in his hand, his eyes flashing with unprecedented light.

"That's right, for balance, for the world, and for us." Lin Feng followed closely behind. The two of them walked out of the temple side by side and embarked on their journey again. Their figures were stretched out in the morning light, appearing so determined and unstoppable.

As they went away, the light of the Heart of Light in the temple seemed to become brighter, as if silently blessing the two heroes' journey to the end of the world.

"Let's go, Lin Feng. There are still four more puzzles of the trial-takers waiting for us to solve. I believe that every trial is not only a test for them, but also a tempering for us." Leo said in a firm tone, his gaze looking into the distance penetrated the mist and saw the various challenges that were about to come.

Lin Feng nodded in agreement: "You are right, Leo. We still have a long way to go, but as long as we are together, there are no obstacles that we cannot overcome. From now on, no matter whether it is a violent storm or a blazing torrent of fire, it will not be able to stop us from moving forward."

The two of them started forward along the winding mountain road. The scenery along the way kept changing, from lush forests to barren deserts, and then to towering mountains. Every change in environment was like a trial of them by nature itself, silently testing their will and endurance.

"Hey, Lin Feng, do you remember our dreams when we were little? To become the greatest explorer and uncover the deepest secrets of the world." Leo reminisced as he walked, a nostalgic smile on his face.

"Of course I remember. At that time, we always dreamed of having a treasure map that would lead us to a secret place that no one knew about. Now think about it, isn't the journey we are on the mark on that treasure map?" Lin Feng spoke with a smile, his eyes flashing with anticipation for the future.

"That's right! And our treasure is not gold and silver, but something more precious - knowledge, growth, and most importantly, trust and support among companions." Leo emphasized his tone, and his words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of the two.

As the sun set, the sky gradually turned orange. The two came to a vast plain. In the distance stood a solitary mountain. The top of the mountain was dyed golden by the afterglow of the setting sun, like a giant guarding an ancient secret.

"It seems that our next destination is there. However, my intuition tells me that it won't be easy for us to reach the summit." Lin Feng pointed at the mountain, his eyes became solemn.

"The more difficult the place, the more likely it is to hide key clues. Are you ready for the challenge, Lin Feng?" Leo looked at his friend provocatively, with a spark of challenge in his eyes.

"From the very beginning when I embarked on this path, I had no intention of turning back." Lin Feng straightened his back, spoke in a firm tone, and his hand unconsciously touched the hilt of the sword, as if he was ready to face the upcoming battle at any time.

The two men sped up and headed towards the mysterious mountain. On the way, they encountered various obstacles, from ferocious beasts to natural traps and even sudden storms, but all of this failed to stop them, but instead deepened their tacit understanding and trust.

Finally, after climbing a steep cliff, they reached the top of the mountain and found an ancient altar. In the center of the altar lay a yellowed ancient book, which recorded the legends of the guardians of the four elements: water, fire, earth, and wind, as well as clues to the last one - the guardian of light.

"Found it! This is the information we have been looking for." Leo excitedly opened the ancient book, flipping through the pages, trying to decipher the next clue from the ancient characters.

"Look here, it mentions that the Guardian of Light is hiding in a place called 'City of Dawn'. It is said that this city only appears at the first ray of sunlight at dawn, and is hidden in the void at other times." Lin Feng pointed to a certain place in the book, his expression showing both excitement and worry.

"It's another test, but we have no choice, right?" Leo closed the ancient book and looked at the rising sun, his eyes full of determination. "Yes, as long as there is light in our hearts, no matter how far the road is, we can reach the end." Lin Feng responded, and the two smiled at each other again, this smile contained their fearlessness of the unknown journey and their deep trust in each other.

Just like that, under the light of morning light, the two young explorers walked side by side, carrying clues from ancient books, and embarked on a journey to find the last guardian.

"Lin Feng, I don't feel... well." Leo's voice was weak, his face was pale, and his body leaned weakly beside Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly held Leo steady, his voice trembling: "Don't talk nonsense, we just got a clue about the Guardian of Light, and the City of Dawn is waiting for us. Hang on, we will find a healer right away."

However, Leo shook his head slightly, forcing a smile: "I know my own body... I may not be able to accompany you to the end of this adventure."

Lin Feng's eyes instantly turned red, and he held Leo's hand tightly, as if he could save his dying life. "No, it'll be fine. We can find the Heart of Light, there's nothing we can't solve!"

Leo shook her hand back gently but firmly: "There are always regrets in life, but meeting you and experiencing everything with you is my greatest luck. Promise me that you will not stop and fulfill our dreams."

Tears welled up in Lin Feng's eyes. He was almost unable to speak and could only nod. The heavy promise weighed on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

Leo's eyes gradually lost their luster, but a satisfied smile still hung on the corners of his mouth. "Remember, Lin Feng, you are my brother and the bravest explorer. Keep going, find the guardian of light, and protect this world..."

Before he finished speaking, Leo's hands dropped, and an indescribable sadness and silence filled the air.

Lin Feng knelt down and held Leo's gradually cooling body in his arms. The world around him seemed to be still at this moment. After a long time, a heart-wrenching cry broke the silence. It was the endless pain of losing a close friend.

As night fell, the starlight shone on the two of them. It was hard to tell whether the tears or dew were on Lin Feng's face. He slowly stood up, his eyes burning with unprecedented determination. "Leo, I promise you that even if I am alone, I will complete our mission. City of Dawn, Guardian of Light, I will find you and use our adventure to illuminate every corner of this world."

In the night wind, Lin Feng turned his back to the dark night and faced the dawn, embarking on a lonely journey to the City of Dawn. In his heart, Leo never left. His voice, smile, and the vows they made together were the driving force that pushed him forward.

"Until the end of the world, we will still be best friends." Lin Feng whispered, as if Leo was whispering in his ear. Although this conversation was just an echo deep in his heart, it made him feel unprecedented strength and courage.

As the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist and illuminated the winding path ahead, Lin Feng's steps became more determined. There was no longer only grief in his heart, but more of a persistence and belief in the future. Along the way, he used the knowledge he learned from ancient books to solve the puzzles left by nature and avoid countless hidden dangers. Every step seemed to prove to Leo that their dream would not dim because of anyone's departure.

During this lonely journey, Lin Feng met all kinds of people. Some laughed at his stubbornness, while others were moved by his persistence and were willing to lend a hand. Among them was a wise old man named Alan, who mastered the secrets of ancient languages. Alan was deeply touched by Lin Feng's story and decided to join him to help him decipher more secrets in the ancient books.

"Lin Feng, this ancient book not only records the legend of the guardian, but also hides the secret language leading to the City of Dawn. Let us work together to uncover its true meaning." Alan's eyes sparkled with a desire for knowledge, bringing new hope to Lin Feng's journey.

After countless efforts, they finally cracked the secret language and found the secret path to the City of Dawn, a bridge of light that only appears at certain moments, connecting the boundary between reality and illusion.

The moment he stepped onto the Bridge of Light, Lin Feng's heartbeat quickened. This was not only a step closer to the City of Dawn, but also a key step towards fulfilling his and Leo's shared dream. The bridge surface shone with a warm and soft light, as if Leo's soul was guiding him forward.

"Leo, I'm almost there. We're about to find the City of Dawn." Lin Feng whispered softly, as if he was sharing this exciting moment with an old friend.

As they crossed the bridge of light, the sight before them was refreshing - the City of Dawn was bathed in the gentle morning light, and the buildings in the city were condensed by light, with every brick and tile emitting a faint glow. In the center of the city, a huge statue came into view, which was the symbol of the guardian of light.

Lin Feng and Allen traveled through the city, looking for the Guardian. After some exploration, they found clues about the Guardian of Light in an ancient library. The dusty scrolls in the library revealed that the Guardian was threatened by an ancient evil force, and needed a warrior with a pure heart to help lift the seal.

"Lin Feng, it seems that our arrival is not accidental. You are the chosen one." Alan said seriously. He believed that Lin Feng could complete this mission.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, his eyes showing both anxiety and determination: "No matter what the future holds, for Leo and for our dreams, I will not back down."

Following the instructions of the scroll, they came to the sleeping place of the guardian, a mysterious space where light and shadow intertwined. There, Lin Feng faced the ancient evil and started a fierce battle. Whenever he got into trouble, Leo's smile and words of encouragement would appear in his mind, which became his most powerful weapon.

Finally, after going through countless challenges and tests, Lin Feng lifted the seal of the Guardian of Light with his indomitable will and his longing for his friends. The Guardian woke up, turned into a dazzling light, merged into Lin Feng's body, and gave him unprecedented power.

"Lin Feng, your courage and faith are beyond imagination. From now on, light will be with you and help you protect this world." The voice of the guardian echoed in his heart. (End of this chapter)
