Chapter 746 Rare Materials

The craftsmen in the blacksmith shop distributed the newly-made weapons to every soldier, and each piece of equipment shone with the desire for victory; the scholars carried heavy books and followed the wise men, and their wisdom would become another sharp blade in the battle; and the emergency team led by Su Ye shuttled through the city, and their presence brought a sense of security to everyone's hearts.

"Qi Meng, Li Ji, how are your preparations going?" Su Ye found the two people who were making final preparations, his eyes full of concern.

"Almost done, we found some key spells that may be able to play a role at the critical moment." Qi Meng showed a roll of parchment in her hand, which was painted with complex patterns, revealing a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.

"Very good, then let us end all this under the guidance of justice and light." Su Ye nodded heavily, his words were like a horn, stirring the blood in everyone's heart.

At this time, the city gate slowly opened, and the warriors of the Forgotten City set out on their journey. Their backs stretched out in the morning sun, and every step they took was firm and fearless. On both sides of the street, residents waved goodbye, their faces filled with reluctance, but more of trust and expectation.

"May you return safely and become true heroes!" said a mother with her child, tears in her eyes but still strong.

"We will, for everyone, for the Forgotten City!" Li Ji turned around and gave a firm smile.

The team gradually disappeared on the horizon, leaving only dusty tracks, symbolizing their determination and courage. In the city, people began their daily lives, but everyone's heart was moved by the upcoming decisive battle, with expectations and uneasiness coexisting.

"Will they succeed?" A young man muttered to himself, looking into the distance.

"They definitely can, because they are not just fighting for themselves, they are fighting for the future of everyone." The old man at the side patted the young man's shoulder gently, his eyes flashing with calmness and faith that came from having experienced many hardships.

Just as the whole city was united and fully prepared for the upcoming decisive battle, a sudden piece of bad news came like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone's heart. The wise man, the elder who had long been the light of wisdom in the Forgotten City, unexpectedly died in a late-night study. His death undoubtedly took away a large part of the spiritual support of the city.

"No, this is impossible!" Qi Meng stared at the wise man's quiet face in disbelief. The familiar kind smile seemed particularly distant at this moment. The ancient books scattered in the room seemed to be telling unfinished stories, and the air was filled with heaviness and sadness.

Li Ji clenched his fists, his eyes were like torches, and his tone was firm: "Although the wise man has left us, the knowledge and wisdom he left us can never be taken away by darkness. We must inherit his legacy and move forward."

Su Ye's face showed a rare look of grief. He held back his tears and choked up: "We must inform everyone as soon as possible. The death of the wise man may cause panic. We must remain calm and not let the shadow take advantage of us."

At the emergency meeting, Su Ye stood up with a serious expression: "The passing of the wise man is a great loss to us, but as Li Ji said, we must turn grief into strength. Now, more than ever, we need calmness and unity. I propose that Qi Meng temporarily take over the work of the wise man and instruct us on how to use the remaining knowledge to fight against the shadow."

Qi Meng looked up in surprise, but she did not refuse: "I am willing to take on this responsibility. Although I cannot replace the wise man, I will do my best to guide us to find the dawn of victory."

After the meeting, Qi Meng immediately went to work, and buried herself in the wise man's notes and books with Li Ji, looking for key clues that could help them fight the black shadow. The day and night efforts made the bottom of their eyes stained with fatigue, but their eyes never lost their determination.

"Look, here are records about the ritual of sealing ancient dark creatures." Qi Meng's fingertips lingered on a yellowed page of paper, on which were drawn complicated spells and ritual steps.

Li Ji frowned and read carefully: "However, it requires an extremely rare material - 'Soul Light', which is said to exist in the most dangerous dark places."

"No matter where it is, we must find it." Qi Meng's tone was irrefutable. "This is our only hope at the moment."

The next day, when the news spread throughout the Forgotten City, the residents' anxiety and worry were obvious, but soon, this emotion turned into a more resolute determination. They believed that even if the wise man was lost, the Forgotten City would not fall easily.

"We support you, Miss Qimeng, and we also believe in Mr. Li Ji." The blacksmith handed Qimeng a carefully crafted sword with a totem representing courage and wisdom engraved on it. "This is specially made to fight against darkness. I hope it can help you."

With everyone's encouragement and expectations, Qi Meng and Li Ji embarked on a difficult journey to find the "light of the soul". They knew that this journey was full of unknowns and dangers, but for the sake of the forgotten city and the last wishes of the wise man, they had no choice.

At the moment when the two of them went deep into the dark land, a deep voice sounded in Qi Meng's heart, as if the ghost of a wise man was guiding them: "Remember, true power comes from the light within your heart. Even the deepest darkness cannot extinguish it."

"We will definitely find the 'Light of the Soul' and fulfill your last wish." Qi Meng responded in a low voice, as if talking to an invisible wise man.

In the Forgotten City, Su Ye, Su Ye and every resident are preparing in their own way. They believe that Qi Meng and Li Ji will return with hope and greet the final battle together.

In the dark place, there was a dead silence, with only the footsteps of Qi Meng and Li Ji echoing in the dull air. The light around was distorted by some unknown force, making every step full of unknown fear. The torch in Li Ji's hand barely illuminated the way forward, but the light seemed extremely weak in this space.

"We must be careful, everything here is different from the ordinary world." Qi Meng reminded. She tightly grasped the ancient compass found from the wise man's relics, trying to sense the direction of the "soul light" from it.

"Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen." Li Ji gave a comforting smile, but there was also some uncertainty in his eyes. The two walked side by side, forming a silent support for each other.

After some arduous exploration, they finally came to the depths of a cave. A strange light shone from the end of the cave, warm but not dazzling. It was the "light of the soul" they were looking for.

"It's right there!" Qi Meng couldn't hide her excitement and quickened her pace.

However, just as they approached the strange light source, the ground suddenly shook, and a group of shadow creatures of various shapes emerged from all directions, blocking their way. These creatures exuded an ominous aura, with greedy lights flashing in their eyes, and were obviously attracted by the "light of the soul". "Qimeng, prepare for battle!" Li Ji quickly drew out his sword and took a defensive stance.

"Don't be afraid, I know how to deal with them." Qi Meng took out an ancient book from her backpack, quickly flipped to a specific page, and chanted an obscure spell. As she chanted, the light and shadow around her seemed to change subtly, forming a thin protective shield that temporarily blocked the shadow creatures.

"This light seems to have an inhibitory effect on them." Li Ji observed the reactions of the shadow creatures and found that they became sluggish under the light, and their strength seemed to be weakened.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two carefully bypassed the shadow creatures and approached the "Soul Light". But just when they were within reach, a deafening roar broke the calm, and a huge shadow beast emerged from the shadows, its body blocking out the sky, its eyes like the abyss, staring at them, as if examining the prey that was about to be eaten.

"It seems that we have to get through it first." Li Ji said in a deep voice, pointing the tip of his sword at the huge monster, his muscles tensed, ready to fight back at any time.

"Together, there is nothing we cannot overcome." Qi Meng clenched the staff in her hand. The light gathered at the tip of the staff, like a small sun, dispelling the darkness around it.

The battle was about to start. Li Ji and Qi Meng cooperated tacitly. One of them attracted the attention of the shadow beast directly, while the other kept casting spells from behind, using the power of "soul light" to cause damage to the shadow beast. After an arduous fight, the huge shadow beast finally fell down after struggling for a while, and turned into nothingness, leaving only shadow fragments on the ground.

"We did it." Qi Meng panted, but her face was filled with the joy of victory.

"Now, get the 'Light of the Soul' and go home." Li Ji stretched out his hand and walked towards the source of the light with Qi Meng. The light seemed to be the best reward for their efforts.

On the way back to the Forgotten City, Qi Meng and Li Ji took turns guarding the precious "light of the soul", their hearts full of longing for future battles and the belief that they would win. When they re-entered the Forgotten City, they were greeted by countless respectful and grateful eyes, as well as warm hugs from Su Ye, Su Ye and others.

"Welcome back, heroes." Su Ye's voice rang out among the crowd, his eyes showing both relief and expectation.

"We have brought back the 'Light of the Soul', and the time for the decisive battle has come." Qimeng showed the results of their adventure, and everyone's emotions were instantly ignited, with sparks of confidence and hope jumping in the air.

Just when everyone was ready and gearing up for battle, Qi Meng and Li Ji looked at each other. Their conversation ended the day's intense preparations and also kicked off the ensuing battle.

"No matter what happens, we will stay together until the dawn of peace comes to the Forgotten City again." Qi Meng's voice was gentle but firm.

"Until the final victory, Qimeng." Li Ji replied, his tone full of trust in his partners and endless expectations for the future.

“Then let us set off. Not only for fighting, but also for the light and hope.” Li Ji raised the “Light of the Soul” in his hand. Its light seemed to respond to his oath, becoming brighter and shining on everyone’s face, giving them unprecedented courage and strength.

Everyone responded in unison, with great momentum, as if the entire Forgotten City was filled with an irresistible positive energy. As the horn sounded, they were ready to go, heading towards the upcoming final showdown, with no fear in their hearts, only the desire for victory and the desire to protect their homeland.

On the way to the decisive battle site, Li Ji and Qi Meng walked at the front of the team. Along the way, they shared their understanding and strategies of the battle, and also recalled every little detail with the wise man. These memories became their driving force to move forward.

"The wise man taught us that knowledge and wisdom are the greatest weapons." Qi Meng said softly, looking into the distance, "I think he is somewhere, watching us in another form, cheering us on."

"That's right," Li Ji nodded, tightly grasping the sword in his hand, "We must not only win this battle, but also prove to everyone that everyone in the Forgotten City is a hero, and has the light to illuminate the darkness."

As the two talked, the team's atmosphere became more resolute. The warriors encouraged each other, the mages silently chanted spells, preparing the most powerful magic, and everyone was making final preparations for the upcoming decisive battle in their own way.

When they arrived at the place of the decisive battle, they saw the dark army arrayed before them, and the cold breath almost swallowed up the sunlight. But under the leadership of Li Ji and Qi Meng, the warriors of the Forgotten City stood firm without fear, their eyes burning with the persistence of justice and light.

"Black Shadow, your rule ends here!" Li Ji declared loudly. His voice echoed in the wilderness, stirring up the resonance of the team and also angering the enemy on the opposite side.

The battle was about to break out, the two sides engaged in close combat, the flashes of swords and the magic light intertwined into a huge net, covering the entire sky. In this melee, Qi Meng and Li Ji relied on the power of "soul light" to continuously create miracles. They not only resisted the invasion of the black shadow, but also reversed the situation step by step.

Just as the dawn of victory seemed about to come true, an unprecedented powerful energy surged among the enemy forces, and a huge black shadow slowly rose. It was the King of Shadows, and its appearance instantly dropped the atmosphere on the battlefield to freezing point.

Facing such a strong enemy, Li Ji and Qi Meng exchanged a firm look, and then shouted together to boost morale: "Friends, the real test is coming! Let us join hands and do our best for the future of the Forgotten City!"

As soon as the words fell, the two of them took the lead in charging, leading all the warriors to launch a desperate charge against the Shadow King. The battle was extremely fierce, and every confrontation shook the world, and every member of the Forgotten City showed unprecedented bravery and sacrifice.

Finally, after a long and arduous confrontation, the King of Shadows gradually collapsed under the concerted attack of everyone, emitting a deafening wail, and finally dissipated in the light.

When the last wisp of black fog dissipated and the sun shone on the earth again, the warriors of the Forgotten City supported each other and stood on the battlefield, exhausted but with firm eyes. They knew that at this moment, they not only protected their homeland, but also the hope for the future.

"We did it." Qi Meng and Li Ji stood side by side, looking at the land that was once shrouded in darkness but is now regaining its light.
