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

Chapter 703 Guarding
"No matter what the outcome, the mission of protecting this land and its people will be passed on forever."

"You're right. No matter what, we are all working for a greater mission." Alan adjusted the frequency in the mechanical backpack to ensure smooth communication. His tone revealed his trust in his partners, but also a hint of imperceptible worry.

On the hidden paths they passed through, the occasional passers-by they met - the remnants of the expedition team or lost travelers who accidentally stumbled into the ruins, saw Alan and his group moving hurriedly and orderly, and couldn't help but cast curious glances at them.

"Look at that kid's equipment, could he be the legendary mechanic?" A young man wearing glasses and looking a bit bookish whispered to his companion, his tone full of amazement.

"That's not easy. I heard that mechanics can use technology to create miracles." The companion responded, his eyes full of desire for unknown technology.

“Could it be that what they are carrying is... the treasure of Atlantis?” Another passerby, an old man in dusty expedition clothes, stopped and watched them go away, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes, a mixture of envy and worry.

Just as Allen and the guide quickened their pace, trying to get in touch with the outside world as quickly as possible and inform the town that might be facing a threat, noisy discussions suddenly came from a temporary camp they passed by.

"Have you heard? Those guys actually angered the black market boss, and now the whole city is looking for them."

"You are really asking for your life. Things from Atlantis are not so easy to touch."

Alan stopped, looked back at the camp, and took a deep breath. He turned to the guide and said, "We must be more careful, not only for ourselves, but also for Li and the whole town."

"Don't worry, I know a more hidden way that can bypass those spies." The guide responded softly, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

Just as they were about to set off again, there was a sudden burst of noise from the radio, followed by an unclear cry for help. Although the signal was intermittent, it was undoubtedly Li's voice.

"We are...trapped...come quickly..."

"Hold on, Li, we'll be there soon!" Alan shouted anxiously into the radio while speeding forward. The thrusters on the mechanical backpack hummed as they passed through the ruins and dense forests, rushing towards the unknown danger.

On the other side, Li and the guardian faced the powerful black-robed man, and the air around them trembled due to the surge of unknown power. Passersby, or those adventurers who were also exploring the ruins, witnessed this scene from a distance, and were all shocked and stopped.

"Oh my God, what kind of monster is that?!" a female hunter holding a longbow shouted in disbelief.

"Look at that girl and the warrior. They actually dare to fight against that thing!" A dwarf blacksmith shook his head, but he could not hide his admiration in his eyes.

"True warriors, may the gods bless them." A man who looked like a priest prayed softly, and the people around him lowered their heads involuntarily.

Under the gaze of everyone, Li and the guardians joined forces to fight against the black-robed man. Every confrontation made the surrounding air tremble. Their bravery and persistence ignited the spark of hope in the hearts of every spectator.

"You underestimate the power of unity and love." Li shouted in the fierce battle, her eyes penetrating the darkness, as if she could see the light in people's hearts.

The black-robed man's attack suddenly slowed down, and confusion and hesitation appeared on his face for the first time. At this moment, a ray of light streaked across the sky from the other side of the ruins. It was Alan and the guide, who arrived in time with the roar of machinery and the light of hope.

"It looks like the game is over." Alan held up a large mechanical device that had just been assembled, which was shining brightly, ready to deliver a fatal blow.

Seeing this, the black-robed man's sneer disappeared, replaced by unprecedented panic. Under the siege of justice, he tried to escape, but it was too late.

The light gathered into a beam and hit the black-robed man directly. With a loud bang, the entire laboratory shook. When the smoke and dust cleared, the black-robed man disappeared without a trace, leaving only a crack leading deeper underground, like a portal to the unknown.

Li, the guardian, Alan and the young guide looked at each other, their eyes showing both exhaustion and the joy of victory. Behind them, the onlookers burst into warm applause and cheers, cheering for these brave warriors.

"You did it, it's amazing!" the female hunter shouted excitedly.

"Yes, a true hero," the dwarf blacksmith agreed.

"But we know that this is just the beginning." Li looked at the mysterious crack, feeling uneasy about the future, but also trust in his partners and persistence in his mission.

The guardian stepped forward and placed his hand on Li's shoulder, "No matter what challenges the future holds, as long as we are together, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome."

"Yes, for the sake of light and our home, we will keep going." Li responded with a firm tone, his eyes flashing with a desire for the unknown and trust in his partners.

"Wait, this crack..." The young guide suddenly spoke, pointing at the crack leading to the underground, with a strange light flashing in his eyes, "I seem to have seen similar descriptions in ancient books. This may be a passage leading to the deeper secrets of Atlantis."

"Deep secret?" Alan frowned, but then showed his excitement about exploration. "If it is true, then it is our responsibility to uncover it and prevent it from falling into the wrong hands."

"Let's go, friends," Li nodded in agreement. She knew that the road ahead would be full of thorns, but she also understood that in order to protect the world from potential threats, they had no choice. "This time, we must be more careful. The unknown always coexists with danger."

As the four people stepped into the mysterious crack, the surrounding environment changed rapidly, the ancient atmosphere came to their faces, and the air was filled with the dust of history and unknown magical fluctuations. Passers-by stood where they were, watching their backs gradually disappear, with envy and blessings in their hearts.

"What a desirable adventure! If I had the chance, I would also like to be a hero like them." The young man with glasses sighed.

“The road of a hero is never easy, and what they bear is far beyond our imagination,” the old man sighed, his eyes sparkling with the wisdom that comes from having experienced hardships.

In that unknown underground world, Li and his companions faced unprecedented challenges. Huge stone pillars supported the dome, and the walls carved with ancient runes were flowing with blue light. Everything seemed mysterious and ancient. A strange energy filled the air, making their every step seem unusually heavy. "The energy here is similar to that used by the black-robed man, but it is different." The guardian carefully observed the surrounding environment, and his intuition told him that the key to uncovering all the mysteries was hidden here.

"Be careful, there is a trap here." The young guide suddenly warned, and he keenly noticed that a stone slab on the ground was slightly different from other places. Sure enough, when they bypassed the stone slab, a series of sharp arrows shot out from the hidden mechanism, breaking the silence.

"That was a close call. Thank you." Li looked at the young guide gratefully. The trust and tacit understanding between them deepened during this adventure.

They continued to go deeper and soon found a magnificent altar. In the center of the altar was a gem that emitted a soft glow. The glow seemed to have the power to purify the soul. Just as they were about to approach, a low chanting sound echoed in the empty space, and the stone statues around them slowly moved, revealing their weapons, ready to attack the invaders.

"It seems that we came uninvited and angered the guardian who was guarding this place." Alan joked, while quickly adjusting the mechanical device in his hand to prepare for the upcoming battle.

"No matter what, we must get the gem. It is the key to solving all the puzzles." Li's eyes were firm and he clenched the sword in his hand.

An arduous battle ensued, and they displayed extraordinary courage and wisdom in the confrontation with the stone statue guards. Every flash of sword light and every roar of machinery left their legend on this ancient land.

Finally, after a hard battle, they defeated the guards, and Li carefully picked up the gem. The moment she touched the gem, ancient memories flooded into her mind like a torrent, revealing the truth about the sinking of Atlantis and an important mission about balance and harmony.

"It turns out that the real treasure is not material wealth, but knowledge and responsibility." Li said softly, with an unprecedented light in his eyes.

"Yes, everything we do is for a better future." The guardian responded, looking at his companions, his heart filled with warmth and pride.

Just as they were preparing to return with this precious legacy, the crack suddenly began to close and the light around it gradually dimmed.

"Oh no, the exit is about to disappear!" the young guide reminded anxiously.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Alan quickly activated his emergency device, and the mechanical backpack sprayed out strong power, steadily sending the four people back to the last moment before the rift closed.

When they returned to the surface of the ruins, they were greeted not only by the first rays of morning sunshine, but also by the passers-by who had been waiting outside.

"You did it! It's incredible!" The female hunter rushed forward and hugged Li excitedly. Cheers and applause from others rose one after another, as if they had become legends in people's hearts.

"But our story has just begun." Li smiled and looked towards the distant horizon, which was their next goal and the starting point of a new journey.

"In order to protect this land and to reveal more truths, we are always on the road." The guardians' words are not only a commitment to their team, but also an inspiration to everyone around them.

"Wait, what exactly is the gem you mentioned about the secret of Atlantis?" The young man with glasses couldn't help but take a few steps forward, curiosity driving him to know more.

The old man shook his head, his eyes gleaming with a deep light, "My child, great mysteries are often hidden in the most unlikely places, and only the chosen ones can reach them. Today, we witnessed a moment in history."

The conversations in the crowd gradually faded into the background, and Li gathered with his companions. They knew that returning from every adventure did not mean the end, but the beginning of a new challenge.

"What we bring back is not only gems, but also a great responsibility." Alan looked around at everyone. Although his voice was light, it carried a weight that could not be ignored.

“That’s right. The truth about Atlantis needs to be correctly interpreted and used to avoid it falling into the hands of the wrong people.” The young guide added that he had already begun planning his next research project.

"The first thing we have to do is to ensure the safety of this secret." The guardian said firmly. As the pillar of the team, he always thought longer term.

Just as everyone was preparing to leave for a safer place to discuss their next move, a passerby who came hurriedly stopped them. He was an old man with ragged clothes and a weather-beaten face. He was holding a tattered map in his hand, and there was a strange light in his eyes.

"Please, listen to me. This map is an heirloom from my family. It points to a secret place related to Atlantis. My intuition tells me that you are the ones who can uncover it all." The old man's voice trembled and sounded particularly sincere.

Li took the map and unfolded it. It was covered with ancient symbols and markings, some of which were strikingly similar to the memories she had seen in the gem.

"This... this could be a clue." Li looked up, his eyes flashing with curiosity and determination about the unknown, "We can't ignore any possibility."

"It's another new adventure." Alan shrugged, but his eyes were burning with desire for the unknown. "Let's go, friends, let's see where this map will lead us."

The four of them set out on their journey with a map, and behind them were the admiration and expectations of passers-by. They have become the weavers of legends, and every step they take is writing their own epic.

"You are incredible, good luck to you!" The hunter's voice floated in the wind, like a blessing to them.

"Remember, a true warrior is not only for adventure, but also for protection." The words of the dwarf blacksmith left a deep imprint in their hearts.

As Li and his group walk away, a new adventure begins. In this vast and mysterious world, they not only have to face external threats, but also need to explore their inner courage and wisdom in order to protect the heavy responsibility and uncover the ultimate mystery of Atlantis.

"Everything we do is to make this world a better place." Li said silently in his heart, looking into the distance, where there is an unfinished journey and endless possibilities, waiting for them to write their own glory.

"You're right, Li." Alan nodded and activated the mechanical backpack. The others followed suit. The roar of the machinery resounded in the air again, heralding a new journey. "No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, we have each other. This is our most powerful weapon."
