Chapter 759 Hell
"We can't just sit there and do nothing." Su Ye whispered, his eyes firm, "These villains not only threaten the safety of the people, but also trample on the faith of light."

"I agree." Qi Meng nodded, and the staff of light in her hand gently touched the ground, as if absorbing the power of this land. "The light not only needs to be guarded, but also needs to be extended to every corner invaded by darkness."

"That's settled then." Shadow's voice sounded particularly steady among the crowd, "Our journey will now have an additional responsibility."

Arya sang a melodious song to see off the warriors who were about to set off. The song contained both inspiring power and fearlessness in the face of unknown challenges.

The next day, the group was ready to go. According to the clues on the wanted poster, they headed to the village where the recent attack occurred. Along the way, they collected more information. The villains seemed to have a secret base in the long-abandoned Shadow Valley. The terrain there was complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was a relic of the war in the old times, and no one dared to set foot there easily for a long time.

"It seems that we have to break into the Shadow Valley." The father murmured. His experience told him that this would be a tough battle.

In the valley, the night fell, the moonlight was thin, and several people sneaked quietly with the weak light, trying to approach the villain's camp. Su Ye was the first to bear the brunt, his sword was thirsty; Shadow was hidden in the shadows, ready to launch a surprise attack at any time; Qi Meng's light staff gently illuminated the way forward, and she also prepared healing spells just in case; Arya hummed a ballad, the melody contained subtle magic, making the natural elements around them seem to provide them with cover.

"Stop!" A loud shout broke the silence of the night, and several armed thugs emerged from the darkness. Obviously, they did not welcome any uninvited guests.

Su Ye did not hesitate, and with a flash of sword light, he instantly eliminated the two in front. At the same time, the shadowy figure was like a phantom, shuttling among the villains, and every blow was fatal. Qi Meng's light technique built a layer of protection for them, reducing the arrows and magic attacks from the dark.

"Surrender!" The father's voice was filled with irresistible majesty. "What you have done has tilted the scales of justice too far."

Just as the battle seemed to be coming to an end, a burst of arrogant laughter echoed in the valley: "Haha, I thought who dared to disturb my peace, it turned out to be some ignorant little characters."

A tall and strong figure walked out slowly from the center of the camp. It was the leader of the gangsters. He held a huge axe in his hand and his eyes burned with bloodthirsty light.

"You are not qualified to capture me." The leader of the villains sneered disdainfully, then swung his giant axe, bringing a strong storm and heading straight for everyone.

As the battle escalated, the leader of the villains showed amazing strength, forcing Su Ye and others to respond more cautiously. In the fierce battle, Qi Meng discovered the leader's weakness: whenever his attack was blocked by light, there would be a short delay. She suddenly had an idea and activated the light array, illuminating the entire battlefield and gaining a chance for her teammates to counterattack.

"Now!" Qi Meng shouted.

Su Ye and the shadow cooperated tacitly, one bright and one dark, and the two rays of light and shadow intertwined attacks tore a gap in the villain leader's defense. In the end, with a joint skill, the arrogant villain leader fell to the ground with a bang.

The smoke of the battle gradually dissipated. They seized the stolen goods of the villains, rescued the imprisoned villagers, and brought back the news of peace. The bells of celebration rang out again in Fengming City. They not only completed the reward offered by the city lord, but more importantly, they once again protected light and justice.

Sitting around the campfire, they shared the joy of victory, but they also knew that the journey was not over yet and more challenges awaited them.

"No matter how many villains there are, as long as we fight side by side, the light will always shine into the deepest darkness." Su Ye said, looking at everyone around him, his eyes full of determination.

"Indeed, light and darkness will always coexist, and we are the light that penetrates the darkness." Qi Meng responded, her voice gentle but firm.

"However, this victory also reminds us that there may be more forgotten places that harbor greater threats." Shadow whispered, his brows revealing deep thought.

Arya plucked the strings lightly, and the music flowed through everyone's heart like a stream. Her voice floated with the music: "The end of every story is the prologue of the next legend. Our journey has just begun."

The father nodded with a pleased smile on his face: "My children, I am proud of your growth. Remember, true strength lies not only in fighting against darkness, but also in illuminating the haze in others' hearts."

At this moment, a hurried messenger came running from a distance and stopped in front of them, panting: "Dear warriors, I am sent by the city lord Arthur. I have an urgent message. Recently, a series of mysterious events have occurred in the Valley of the Wind. It is said to be related to the ancient relic, the 'Wind Whispering Heart'. It is a legendary artifact that can control the power of nature. If it falls into the wrong hands, the consequences will be disastrous."

Qi Meng's eyes lit up, and she gently waved the Staff of Light, causing the air around her to vibrate. "This is not only a challenge, but also a test of our strength. It is our unshirkable responsibility to protect the Whispering Wind Heart and maintain the balance of the world."

"I agree." Su Ye stood up, sword in hand, "We should set off immediately. Time is running out. We cannot let the artifact cause a greater disaster."

Shadow, Arya and her father also stood up. The eyes of the five were full of determination and courage. They understood that every victory was not only a conquest of external enemies, but also the persistence and sublimation of self-beliefs.

Before they left, an old man passed by and looked at their determined backs. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "You are really young and promising. May the gods bless you and let the light shine on your path forever."

Just as the group was ready to go to the Valley of the Wind to investigate the mysterious incident, a sudden change interrupted their plan. Late at night, the warmth around the campfire was broken by a burst of urgent alarms, and dark clouds suddenly gathered above the camp, foreshadowing an ominous sign.

"Youying!" Qi Meng's shout cut through the night sky. Youying's figure swayed in the moonlight, and a black shadow quickly retreated from the darkness and disappeared into the night. There was a poisoned short blade stuck in his chest, his face was pale, and his breathing was rapid.

Su Ye immediately rushed to Youying and held his shaky body. "Who did it?!" He asked angrily, his eyes scanning the surroundings like an eagle, but it was already dark, and there was nothing left except the trees swaying in the wind.

"Hurry, help me carry him to the tent." His father calmly commanded. His years of combat experience allowed him to remain calm in an emergency. Arya quickly followed, her singing filling the air, soft but with healing power, trying to slow down the spread of the poison in Shadow's body.

Inside the tent, Shadow was lying on a simple stretcher, his consciousness blurred, but he still tried to force out a smile to comfort everyone: "Don't worry... I'm fine..."

"No, the venom has begun to spread." Qi Meng checked the wound and frowned, "We need to find an antidote as soon as possible, otherwise..."

"Nausicaa of the Wind, Whispering Heart..." Phantom uttered these words weakly, with a flash of determination in his eyes, "This may be... the only clue..." "Let's split up." Su Ye stood up and said firmly, "Qimeng, you stay here to take care of Phantom, father, you are responsible for finding clues to the antidote. Alia and I will go to the Nausicaa of the Wind to investigate the source of all this."

"But, your safety..." Qi Meng looked at Su Ye worriedly.

"Don't worry, we have to do this." Su Ye held Qi Meng's hand and gave her a reassuring smile, "We will find the answer and bring back a way to rescue Youying."

The next day, as the morning light fell, Su Ye and Alia had already set out on the journey to the Valley of the Wind. Along the way, they gradually pieced together a vague picture based on scattered clues: it seemed that there was a dark force looking for the Heart of the Whispering Wind, and their attack on the Shadow might be to prevent everyone from intervening.

“If it’s really because of the Whispering Heart…” Arya pondered as she walked. Her fingertips lightly touched the strings of the harp, as if she was talking to the melody in her heart. “Then we may be facing a battle far beyond our imagination.”

"No matter what, we will not retreat." Su Ye said firmly, his sword shining with determination in the sunlight, "Shadow has saved us countless times. This time it is our turn to protect him."

The entrance to the Valley of the Wind was hidden in the mountains. The two entered carefully. Although the scenery in the valley was beautiful, there was an uneasy atmosphere in the air. Soon, they stopped in front of an ancient altar, where there seemed to be traces left by the Whispering Wind Heart.

"Look over there!" Arya called softly, pointing to a stone tablet engraved with mysterious symbols not far away, with some strange herbs scattered around the stone tablet.

"This may be a clue to the antidote!" Su Ye hurried forward and collected it carefully, a glimmer of hope rising in his heart.

Just as they were about to return, an old voice came from the shadows: "The answers you are looking for are right here." Following the voice, an old man in a white robe slowly stepped into the light, with deep wisdom and vicissitudes hidden in the depths of his eyes.

"Do you know the antidote for Shadow?" Su Ye asked anxiously.

The old man smiled slightly and stretched out a skinny hand. In the palm of his hand lay a bead emitting a gentle light: "The fragment of the Whispering Wind Heart can untie all restraints, including poisons. But please remember, the real antidote is the trust and persistence between you."

After getting the beads, Su Ye and Alia immediately set out on their journey home. Back at the camp, although Youying's condition was critical, it was not yet hopeless. Qi Meng and her father were waiting anxiously, their eyes full of anticipation.

Su Ye gently pressed the bead on Youying's wound. At that moment, the light became brighter and the poison seemed to be expelled by an invisible force. Youying's breathing gradually stabilized and his face regained its rosy color.

"We... succeeded..." Su Ye breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look in the direction of the old man, but found that there was no one there, only a breeze blowing, as if everything just now was just an illusion.

Shadow slowly opened his eyes, looked around at his companions, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that I owe you all one more time."

"Don't say that, we are a family." Qi Meng stroked his forehead gently, her eyes full of tenderness.

"This crisis has brought us closer together." The father patted everyone on the shoulder. "Next, it's time to uncover the secret of the Whispering Wind Heart and the conspiracy behind it."

Sitting around the campfire, with the night sky dotted with stars, they shared the joy of surviving the disaster, but more importantly, they were looking forward to and preparing for the upcoming adventure.

"The vision in the Valley of the Wind, and the mysterious black shadow that attacked Youying, none of this is simple." Su Ye pondered, his eyes flashing with determination, "We have to find the mastermind behind this and completely stop his plan."

"That's right. We can't let anyone use the Whispering Heart to do evil." Arya nodded in agreement, her fingers wandering over the strings, as if silently weaving the prelude to a battle.

At this time, a passing merchant overheard their conversation and interrupted with surprise, "The Heart of the Whispering Wind? That's a legendary treasure! If someone really has bad intentions, Fengming City and even the entire continent will fall into turmoil!" He looked around, lowered his voice, and his eyes were full of awe. "I heard that the Heart of the Whispering Wind not only controls the power of nature, but can also reveal hidden truths and the trajectory of fate."

"The truth and the trajectory of fate?" Qi Meng murmured, looking far away, "Perhaps, this is also the key to lead us to the light."

"Well, now that the goal has been set, we have to prepare to set off." The father stood up, his calm tone revealing unquestionable authority, "Suye, Alia, you go and prepare your luggage; Qimeng, continue to study the clues of the Whispering Wind Heart to see if you can find more guidance; I will contact allies in various places, we need more forces."

When the onlookers heard this, they were all shocked and started talking in low voices.

"Look, those are the heroes of Fengming City. I heard that even the evil leader who did not commit many crimes was defeated by them."

"Yes, with them here, what do we have to be afraid of?"

"But there are few records of artifacts like the Wind Whispering Heart, even in legends. Can they do it?"

"Who knows? But with faith and courage, miracles will always happen."

Amid the discussion, Su Ye and his team each performed their duties and began to prepare for the new journey. Night fell again, and under the starry sky, they sat around the campfire and discussed the upcoming unknown journey.

"Father, who do you think our opponent will be this time?" Su Ye asked, with both worry and expectation in his expression.

The father looked at the flames solemnly and said slowly: "Whether it is a human or a demon, as long as there is darkness in their hearts, they may become our enemies. But we have light in our hearts, and this is our weapon."
