Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

Lin Yaya grabbed Lin Feng's sleeves, her eyes full of pleading: "I... I am a member of the Lin tribe. We were attacked by dark creatures nearby. They... they are too powerful. The tribe members asked me to escape and ask for help. Please, save my family."

Lin Feng frowned upon hearing this. The dark creatures were becoming more active, which was an ominous sign. He made a quick decision: "Take me with you. We can't just stand by and watch them die."

Allen also came over after hearing the noise, and the three of them quickly rushed in the direction pointed by Lin Yaya. On the way, Lin Yaya intermittently recounted the difficulties of her people fighting against the dark creatures. Her words revealed a tenacity beyond her age, which also gave Lin Feng and Allen a new understanding of this seemingly weak girl.

When they arrived at the Lin tribe's settlement, they saw that the bonfire had gone out and the place was in a mess after the battle. Lin Feng and Allen exchanged a glance and then went their separate ways to search for possible survivors and clean up the hidden dark creatures.

"Be careful, Lin Feng, they are good at hiding in the dark." Alan reminded softly, gathering the light in his hands, ready to respond to any surprise attack at any time.

The battle soon broke out, and the two cooperated tacitly, protecting Lin Yaya while fighting against the dark creatures. Lin Yaya was not willing to fall behind, and although she had no fighting ability, she used her familiarity with the terrain to cleverly guide the two to avoid traps, and even risked several times to rescue injured tribesmen.

During the fierce battle, a special figure caught Lin Feng's attention. A thin boy holding a simple staff was trying his best to cast a weak light spell to resist the attack of a dark beast. Lin Feng's mind moved, and he quickly rushed forward, waved his sword to force the dark beast back, and saved the boy.

"Thank you for saving me!" The young man wiped the sweat off his forehead, his eyes sparkling with gratitude. Seeing this, Lin Yaya ran over, very surprised: "A Ming, I'm glad you're okay!"

"You are... from the Alliance of Light, right? I've heard from our elders that you guys are really awesome!" Amin's eyes were full of admiration for the hero.

"We just did what we had to do." Lin Feng replied with a smile, but he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Over the years, they have shouldered the mission of the messenger of light, shuttling between the edge of light and darkness, just to protect more ordinary people like Lin Yaya and A Ming.

The battle ended with the victory of the Light Alliance. Although they were exhausted, they felt unprecedented satisfaction when they saw the rekindled bonfire and the relieved expressions of their people. Lin Yaya quietly approached Lin Feng and whispered, "Thank you so much, warriors of the Light Alliance. I hope that one day I can be as strong as you and protect my people."

Lin Feng patted her shoulder and smiled gently: "Courage and determination are more important than any strength. I believe you can do it."

Late at night, the Lin people held a simple but warm thank you ceremony for them. Lin Yaya sat next to Lin Feng, the stars in her eyes complemented the bonfire, and she whispered, "Brother Lin Feng, Brother Allen, will you continue your journey?"

"Yes, we still have a long journey ahead of us." Lin Feng replied, his eyes cast towards the endless night sky, where the stars were twinkling, as if guiding them.

"Then... please come back safely." Lin Yaya's eyes flashed with reluctance, but also with determination, "Because I want to be a messenger of light like you."

Allen gently put his arm around Lin Yaya's shoulders, his tone full of encouragement: "Your wish is our driving force to move forward. Remember, light is never alone, it will be passed on in everyone's heart."

Lin Feng stood up and looked at the Lin people who were listening attentively around him. His voice was firm and warm: "No matter where we are, as long as there is light in our hearts, there is nothing we cannot overcome. Lin Yaya, your people are brave, and so are you. Continue to protect this land. The Alliance of Light will always be your strong backing."

The crowd burst into warm applause, with voices of praise and gratitude rising one after another. An old man slowly walked up to Lin Feng and handed him an ancient rune necklace: "Light Messenger, this is a treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation in our Lin Clan. May it protect you on your journey. Please accept it as a testimony of the friendship between our Lin Clan and the Light Alliance."

Lin Feng solemnly accepted the necklace, feeling the heavy weight of history and trust. "We accept this gift. One day in the future, when the light completely illuminates the earth, we look forward to celebrating the arrival of that day with the Lin Clan."

As the night deepened, Lin Feng and Allen set off on their journey home with the blessings of the Lin people. Under the starry sky, the two discussed their next plan as they walked.

"Alan, the power in the darkness seems to be taking action. The attack that Lin Yaya and the others encountered may be just the beginning."

Allen nodded in agreement: "Indeed, that sound reminds us that the real battle has just begun. We must be more vigilant, strengthen the alliance, and find more allies."

"Yes, there are also Lin Yaya and A Ming. The flame in their hearts has been ignited. We should consider how to cultivate young people with potential like them and strengthen the power of light."

"That's right. But what's the source of that mysterious sound? Is it a friend or an enemy? We need more clues."

"The unknown is always accompanied by opportunities and challenges, just like this trip to the Lin Clan. We must be vigilant, but also hold onto hope. Perhaps the answer is hidden in the journey we are about to embark on."

The two were silent for a while, with only the sound of footsteps and the night wind blowing through the forest. Suddenly, a strange light flashed across the sky in the distance, attracting their attention.

"Look, what is that?" Alan pointed to the sky, his eyes full of curiosity.

"I don't know, but it is definitely not an ordinary astronomical phenomenon." Lin Feng stared at the place where the light disappeared, with an indescribable premonition in his heart.

"Is it a good sign or a bad sign?" Alan murmured to himself.

"No matter good or bad, since we have chosen this path, we must face it." Lin Feng's words were firm and powerful, and his eyes flashed with determination. Although his voice was not loud, it was like thunder rolling in everyone's ears, arousing resonance.

A young man passing by stopped after witnessing this scene and whispered to his companion: "Are they the members of the Alliance of Light? They look really impressive, as if they are not afraid of anything."

The companion nodded, with admiration in his eyes. "Yes, I heard that they are chivalrous and can bring light to even the darkest places. I really hope to fight with them."

"Hey, you two, keep your voices down and don't disturb the heroes' conversation." An auntie interrupted, her tone full of pride and envy, "There are also many young people in our village who have been influenced by them and want to go out and make a living."

Although the conversation between the three was quiet, every word was heard by Lin Feng and Allen, and a warm current surged in their hearts. They smiled at each other. The feeling of being placed with high hopes was both pressure and motivation.

"Lin Feng, do you think we can find more like-minded people to fight the darkness together?" Allen's voice was full of expectation and worry. "Of course," Lin Feng answered affirmatively, "The light never walks alone. As long as there are people who still have hope in their hearts, more people like us will emerge. Besides, there is a saying that goes, 'A single spark can start a prairie fire'."

As they were talking, a ragged traveler walked out of the night. He seemed to be attracted by their conversation and asked tremblingly, "Are you...really the messengers of light? I, I have important news to tell you."

Lin Feng and Allen immediately became alert and signaled the traveler to come closer, while keeping a certain distance to prevent any accidents.

The traveler's eyes were filled with fear and struggle, and he finally mustered up the courage to say, "I come from the north, and the situation over there is very bad. A powerful dark force is gathering and preparing to launch a general attack on the Alliance of Light. You...you must be prepared!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Lin people who were originally immersed in the discussion around them also quieted down, and emotions of tension and uneasiness began to spread among the crowd.

"How much specific information do you know?" Alan's voice was calm and composed, trying his best to calm the emotions of the people around him.

The traveler swallowed, his voice trembling slightly, "Not much, I just know that the force seems to have mastered an ancient power that can make dark creatures stronger. Also, they seem to be looking for something, a key that can overturn the balance between light and darkness."

Lin Feng frowned, thinking: "The key to subverting the balance? It doesn't sound simple."

"Indeed, this news is disturbing." Allen continued, his eyes deep, "But we can't just sit there and wait for death. Lin Feng, we have to speed up and go back to gather all the forces of the Light Alliance, and at the same time investigate what the key is."

"I agree." Lin Feng nodded and turned to face the crowd. "Friends of the Lin Clan, as you have heard, the impending threat of darkness is more severe than you imagined. But please believe that as long as we unite, the light will never be extinguished. Now, we must return to the Light Alliance and prepare for battle."

The crowd erupted in support, mixed with fear of unknown challenges and trust in the messenger of light. Lin Yaya and A Ming also stood up, their determined eyes revealing courage beyond their age.

"Brother Lin Feng, Brother Allen, although we cannot participate directly, we are willing to support you, whether it is in supplies or intelligence, please let us help." Lin Yaya's tone was firm, and the tribesmen around her responded one after another, and the atmosphere became passionate for a while.

"Okay, that's settled then." Lin Feng showed a relieved smile, "Remember, every ray of light is precious. Don't give up hope even in the darkest moment. We will come back, and by then, I hope to see a stronger Lin clan."

The night wind blew again, bringing a bit of coolness, but also courage and determination. Lin Feng and Allen set out on the road back to the Bright Alliance, with the expectant eyes and firm support of the Lin people behind them.

"Alan, it seems that the road ahead will be even more bumpy." Lin Feng looked at the dark clouds gradually gathering in the night sky, feeling both worried and expectant.

"Well, but with you and everyone here, we can keep going no matter how difficult the road is." Alan responded, and the two of them walked side by side with firm steps towards the unknown challenges.

"Alan, be careful! These creatures... their power has increased!" Lin Feng warned loudly and swung his sword to cut off the sharp claws of a dark creature, but the blade left a dark purple mark wherever it passed, corroding the sword body, which was something he had never seen before.

Allen's magic light seemed a little dim under the intensive attack. He gritted his teeth and insisted: "Lin Feng, you are right. We must find a way to deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise..."

Before he finished speaking, a huge dark beast suddenly pounced on Allen, and its sharp roar shook the leaves. Lin Yaya screamed and was about to rush forward regardless of everything, but was held tightly by Amin: "Lin Yaya, we have to help them with wisdom. Impulsiveness will only put you in danger."

At the critical moment, Lin Feng leaped back and blocked in front of Allen, with his sword and shield complementing each other, and he withstood the heavy blow of the dark beast. But the power of this attack was far beyond his expectations, and Lin Feng felt his chest surging, and blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth.

"Lin Feng!" Allen called out anxiously. His hands glowed with light, forming a dazzling ball of light, which smashed hard into the dark beast, forcing it to retreat temporarily.

"I'm fine." Lin Feng managed to stand still and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "We must find out why their strength has increased, otherwise it will be difficult for us to win this battle."

At this moment, the ragged traveler squeezed out of the crowd and staggered forward: "I... I know some information that may be able to help you. The power of those dark creatures has increased because the northern forces activated an ancient relic called the 'Heart of Shadow'."

"Heart of Shadow?" Lin Feng and Allen exchanged shocked glances. The power behind this name should not be underestimated.

"Yes, it is said that it can absorb light and nourish darkness. If it is allowed to exist, the consequences will be disastrous." The traveler's eyes were full of worry.

"We must destroy it." Lin Feng's tone was firm, even though he was well aware of the difficulty of the task.

"How to destroy it?" A Ming asked anxiously, and Lin Yaya also looked solemn.

Lin Feng looked around, his eyes lingering on everyone's face, and finally fixed on Alan: "We need a plan, and Alan, your light magic is the key. We have to find the location of the Heart of Shadow, and then purify it with the power of light."

Alan nodded, his eyes flashing with determination: "I understand, but before that, we must first deal with the enemies in front of us."

Just as everyone was discussing countermeasures, another wave of more powerful dark creatures came like a tide, and the battle escalated instantly, and the situation became critical. Lin Feng led everyone to fight hard, but as the battle continued, everyone inevitably showed signs of fatigue and wounds.

"This is not a solution, we must end this quickly!" Lin Feng said in a low voice, thinking quickly of a strategy in his mind.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind: "Amin, you just said that you are familiar with the terrain. Is there a concealed route that is close to the enemy's rear?" (End of this chapter)
