Alliance: A Great Compassion Mantra, I make the whole network autistic

Chapter 694 Energy Core
"I found it! These monsters seem to have some kind of energy core in their bodies. If we can destroy it, maybe we can defeat them!" Alan shouted in the fierce battle.

"Okay, create a chance for me!" Su Ye was looking for a breakthrough while resisting the monster's attack.

Li Xin understood and mobilized the power of nature, causing a crack to suddenly appear on the ground, tripping some monsters to the ground. Taking advantage of this moment of chaos, Su Ye quickly positioned himself and stabbed a monster in the chest with a sword, and the tip of the sword accurately hit the energy core described by Allen. The monster let out a shrill roar, and its body began to disintegrate, turning into dust and dissipating in the air.

This scene gave the three of them great encouragement, and they began to cooperate tacitly, with Li creating opportunities, Alan providing tactical guidance, and Su Ye responsible for delivering the fatal blow. As time went on, the number of monsters that originally besieged gradually decreased, and finally, with the unremitting efforts of the three, all the monsters were eliminated.

"This...this is too unbelievable." Alan gasped, looking at the valley around him that had returned to calm in disbelief.

"It seems that the challenges on this road are far more than these." Li clenched his fists, his eyes filled with both worry and determination.

"No matter what lies ahead, as long as we are together, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome." Su Ye's words were like warm sunshine, sweeping away the fatigue after the battle.

Just as they took a short rest and prepared to move on, in the depths of the valley in the distance, the outline of an ancient and grand building was looming in the mist. That was exactly where the mural pointed to - the core of the dark power.

"That's our destination. Are you ready?" Su Ye looked at Li and Allen, with a determined light in his eyes.

"Always be prepared." Li nodded, her face showing unshakable determination.

"Of course, for the sake of light, there is no reason to retreat." Alan adjusted his equipment. Although his legs were still a little inconvenient, his eyes were firm.

The three of them set out on their journey again, heading towards the unknown and dangerous core area. They knew in their hearts that the greatest test was about to come, but as long as there was light in their hearts, nothing was invincible.

"Let's go and let the darkness see the power of the guardian of light." Su Ye said, and took the lead in stepping into the fog leading to the unknown. Li and Allen followed closely. They knew that no matter what was waiting for them ahead, as long as the three of them fought side by side, nothing would be impossible.

As the figures of the three people were gradually swallowed by the fog, a low and distant bell sound echoed in the valley, as if it was ringing the bell of foreshadowing their upcoming challenge.

A low humming sound echoed in the fog, as if it was a warning to the intruder. The visibility in the fog was extremely low, and every step was full of unknowns and obstacles. Su Ye, Li, and Allen relied on each other and carefully shuttled through the fog until an ancient statue appeared in the haze. It was tall and mysterious, with a blurred face. It seemed to be staring into the distance, and it seemed to be examining them through the fog.

"This statue... exudes an ominous aura." Li whispered. She stretched out her hand, gently touched the air with her fingertips, and felt the fluctuations of natural elements, but the energy field here was abnormally oppressive and elusive.

"Be careful, I always feel that this statue is not that simple." Allen called up the scanning mode on the device, and the screen showed chaotic energy signals, which were inextricably linked to the statue. "The data is abnormal, there may be some kind of activation mechanism."

Su Ye looked around, and his eyes finally stopped at the base of the statue, where a line of ancient characters was engraved. He read softly: "'The interweaving of light and darkness, the door of truth opens with will and sacrifice.' This seems to be some kind of hint."

"Sacrifice?" Li frowned. She didn't like the meaning behind this word.

"Don't worry, we won't make sacrifices easily." Su Ye comforted, already having a plan in mind, "Alan, you continue to analyze these words and statues to see if there is a safe way to open them. Li, prepare the power of nature. If anything goes wrong, we need to defend or retreat immediately."

Allen was operating the device attentively when an encrypted message suddenly popped up on the screen. After a quick decoding, an ancient text was translated: "Blood sacrifice of true name, wish to lead the way."

"That doesn't sound like a good idea," Alan said hesitantly.

"But it may be the only way." Li pondered for a moment, his eyes firm, "If this is what we have to face, then let me do it. My power comes from nature, maybe I can resonate with it and reduce the damage."

"No, this is too risky." Su Ye firmly objected, "We must find another way."

Just as the argument was unsuccessful, a cold wind blew past, and a faint blue light suddenly flashed in the eyes of the statue, as if silently urging them. The hearts of the three people tightened, the fog around them seemed to be thicker, and an invisible pressure filled the air.

"Wait, if this isn't a real 'sacrifice' on our part..." Alan suddenly had a new idea. He clapped his hands fiercely. "Su Ye, your power of light, the connection between glass and nature, and me, as a representative of technology - isn't the essence of each of us the embodiment of will and sacrifice?"

"You mean, we don't have to bleed actually, but instead use our own strength to try it?" A gleam of light flashed in Su Ye's eyes.

"It's worth a try." Li nodded, and the three quickly reached a consensus, standing in front of the statue and posing their own postures. Su Ye held the sword with both hands, surrounded by the power of light; Li opened her arms, and the green natural energy surged around her; Alan activated his device, and the light of technology gathered at his fingertips.

"Guardian of light, I am willing to be a guiding beacon." Su Ye murmured, and the tip of the sword lightly tapped the ground, and a soft halo spread out.

"Spirit of nature, I call out in the name of life." Li closed her eyes and pondered. The surrounding vegetation seemed to respond to her call and swayed gently.

"The light of knowledge penetrates the chains of darkness." Alan's fingers drew complex symbols in the air, and a thin beam of light shot into the eyes of the statue.

As the three people finished speaking, ripples appeared around the statue, and the light intertwined with the power of nature and the light of technology, and finally gathered on the statue. A strong burst of light swept away the fog, revealing the path hidden behind and a portal covered with light.

"Success..." Li exclaimed, the scene before them was beyond their imagination.

"It's incredible that our power can resonate with this ancient existence." Alan's face was also full of disbelief.

"No matter what, this is the path we are looking for." Su Ye looked at the door of light, with both expectation and caution in his eyes, "Let's go in together and face the final challenge." "Together, until the end." Li and Allen said in unison.

As they stepped into the door of light, the scene behind them gradually blurred. An unknown area was waiting ahead, and their conversation, as the door closed, left behind endless reverie and hope.

"No matter what happens, as long as we are together, there is nothing we can't overcome." Su Ye's voice echoed, which was both a promise to his companions and a declaration for the future.

As the figures of the three people completely disappeared in the light, the fog gathered again, and the ancient statue quietly guarded this secret place, as if nothing had happened.

Just as Su Ye, Li and Allen were about to step into the gate of light, a powerful aura suddenly swept in from behind the statue. A mysterious man in a cloak slowly stepped into the light, his eyes under the mask flashing with a deep light.

"Wait, travelers." The deep and powerful voice broke the silence of the three people who were about to set off. "The answers you seek are not easily obtained."

Su Ye pointed his sword forward and asked vigilantly: "Who are you? Why are you blocking our way?"

The mysterious man gently lifted a corner of his cloak, revealing an ancient script mark similar to the one on the statue's base. "I am the guardian of this valley, and I am also the failed one who tried to reveal the dark secrets in the past. The power you rely on is strong, but it has not been tested and is not enough to solve the deeper mysteries."

Li frowned slightly, with an unquestionable firmness in his voice: "We are ready, no matter the trial or challenge, we will not back down."

"Very good," the mysterious man nodded, and his figure suddenly became illusory. Then several illusions formed around them, each of which held a key of a strange style. "Then, prove it to me. Find the real key and solve the maze I set up, and then you can prove that you are qualified to enter that door."

Faced with the unexpected test, the three quickly adjusted their status. Allen's device began to run at high speed, analyzing the subtle differences of each illusion; Li used her natural perception to explore the truth behind the illusion; Su Ye remained vigilant, guarding against any possible surprise attack.

"Split up and look for clues on your own, but keep in communication." Su Ye made a quick decision, and the three of them acted according to the plan.

Allen shuttled between the phantoms, constantly sending analysis data to his companions: "These phantoms do not appear randomly, their arrangement has a specific pattern, corresponding to the pictographic symbols in ancient texts."

Li closed her eyes and let the power of nature flow through her body. She whispered, "I feel the fluctuation of life here. In the north-east direction, there is an illusion that is more real than the others."

"Received, confirming." Su Ye moved quickly, the tip of the sword cut through the light and shadow, and every ripple caused by the sword wind seemed to verify the feeling of the glass. Finally, he stopped in front of a phantom that seemed to be no different from the others, but the air here seemed to be thicker, with a different fluctuation.

"That's it." Su Ye confirmed, reaching out his hand through the phantom and actually touching the entity. He pulled hard, and the illusory key in the phantom's hand turned into a substance in his hand, emitting a faint light.

Seeing this, the mysterious man's figure gradually became clear, and a smile appeared under his mask: "Well done, you have demonstrated wisdom and courage. Remember, true strength comes not only from weapons and magic, but also from the tenacity of the heart and the trust between the team."

"We have passed your test. Now, please tell us what is waiting for us behind the door?" Su Ye asked. The key in his hand emitted a warm light, resonating with his power of light.

The mysterious man shook his head slightly. "Some answers can only be discovered by you. But please remember that deep in the darkness, there are also seeds of light. That is the key to changing everything. I am here waiting for your return, and may the light guide your path."

As the figure of the mysterious man gradually faded away, the three looked at each other, clenched their weapons and beliefs, and stepped into the door of light together. At that moment, the world behind the door appeared before their eyes, which was both strange and full of challenges, but their hearts were extremely firm - no matter how difficult it was, as long as the three of them walked together, there would be no obstacles that could not be overcome.

Behind the door was a vast expanse of space, with stars and light particles drifting slowly in the void, as if in the embrace of the universe. A bridge woven of light was suspended in midair, leading to a distant point of light.

"This... what is this place?" Alan exclaimed, his voice echoing in the void, full of wonder.

"It looks like we have entered a realm beyond our imagination." Li gazed at the sea of ​​stars around him, his tone filled with both awe and excitement.

"No matter where this is, our goal remains unchanged." Su Ye took the first step and stepped onto the bridge of light. His figure instantly lengthened, becoming a bridge connecting reality and the unknown. "Let's go, friends. The light is always the brightest in the darkest places."

As the three of them walked, the starlight seemed to come alive and began to surround them, weaving into flowing pictures, telling ancient and distant stories. Each star seemed to show them the heroes and adventures of the past, their courage and sacrifice, lighting the way forward for those who came after them.

"Look, what is that?" Alan pointed to the front, where a huge shadow was hovering around the light spot, like some kind of creature, or perhaps an unknown building.

"What we are about to face may be the most difficult challenge of this journey." Li clenched her hands, and the power of nature surged in her body, preparing for the upcoming battle.

"No matter what it is, there's no turning back." Su Ye's voice was calm and firm. He walked in front, and the Sword of Light shone brighter than before, as if even the stars were dimmed by it.

As they approached the light, the shadow gradually revealed its true appearance - a magnificent castle, a mixture of darkness and light. The two opposite forces coexisted harmoniously here, yet also contended with each other, forming a wonderful scene.

"Welcome, Guardians of Light." A voice sounded in their hearts, deep and magnetic, but the source could not be identified. "You have surpassed the limits of mortals and come here. This is the intersection of light and darkness, the place where time and space are distorted."

"Who are you? Why did you bring us here?" Su Ye looked around, trying to find the owner of the voice.
