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

Chapter 760 Dark Place
"Well said!" A deep and powerful voice came from the darkness, and then the old man in white robes appeared in front of everyone again, "The battle between light and darkness has never stopped since ancient times. But remember, what really determines victory or defeat is not the size of the power, but the purity and strength of the heart."

The old man's appearance stunned everyone, followed by deep respect.

"You... who are you?" Qi Meng asked softly, her eyes full of curiosity.

The old man smiled, and his smile contained the accumulation of years: "I am just a witness and a guardian. You still have a long journey ahead of you. Remember, the real challenge is to discover and overcome the fear and doubt in your heart."

After saying this, the old man disappeared quietly into the night just as he had come, leaving only a meaningful sentence echoing in the air: "The trial of the Wind Whispering Heart has just begun..."

"This...what on earth is going on?" Su Ye murmured to himself, his eyes closely following the direction where the old man disappeared, feeling shocked and confused.

"Whoever he is, what he said makes sense." Shadow's voice sounded much better. He tried to sit up, and Arya and Qimeng hurried forward to support him. "To defeat yourself may be more difficult than to defeat any external enemy."

"Yes, we are ready to face everything." Su Ye nodded, clenched his fists, and his eyes flashed with an unyielding light. "No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, as long as our hearts are united, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome."

Outside the camp, the night deepened, and the occasional calls of wild animals were particularly clear in the quiet night. Under the light of the fire, several passing travelers stopped and were attracted by their conversation.

“Have you heard? Those young men are going to fight against a powerful enemy who may possess the Wind Whispering Heart.” A traveler whispered to his companion, his voice filled with curiosity and awe that was difficult to conceal.

"The Whispering Wind Heart? That's something that can influence the fate of the world. Do they really have the guts to do that?" another traveler responded in surprise, with obvious disbelief in his eyes.

"Hey, don't underestimate them." The businessman next to him interrupted with a confident smile on his face, "I've seen them a few times. That kind of determined look is not something that ordinary people can have. Maybe they can really achieve great things."

Their conversation was accidentally caught by Arya, who smiled and said to Su Ye: "Look, even passers-by are full of confidence in us. We have no reason to retreat."

"Indeed." Su Ye nodded in agreement, then turned to everyone, "Well, without further ado, we will set off early tomorrow morning and go deep into the Valley of the Wind to find the mastermind who attempted to control the Wind Whispering Heart."

"Wait," my father suddenly said, his eyes far-sighted, "before we set out, we must make a thorough plan. Rushing in blindly will only fall into the trap set by the enemy. We need intelligence, and even more so, we need strategies."

"Father is right." Qi Meng agreed, and the staff of light in her hand radiated a warm glow. "I will use my magic to search for useful information, and perhaps I can find some clues."

"And I," Shadow coughed lightly, but his eyes were full of determination, "I will do my best to recover and make sure I can help you at the critical moment."

Sitting around the campfire, each of them had determination and courage on their faces. Although the road ahead was unknown and full of dangers, they believed that as long as they held justice and light in their hearts, nothing was impossible.

As the night deepened, everything was silent except for the crackling of the bonfire. Just as they were about to rest, a young traveler mustered up the courage to approach them and asked in a trembling voice: "If...if I really believe in miracles, can I join you? I want to witness this legend with my own eyes."

His question stunned everyone for a moment, then Su Ye stretched out his hand and said with a hearty smile: "Welcome to join us. It is better to have a friend on the journey than to fight alone. Let's go together to witness what a true miracle is."

The next morning, as soon as the first rays of light appeared in the sky, the team set out on the journey to the Valley of the Wind. The new young traveler, named Lin En, looked immature, but revealed a tenacity that should not be underestimated. Along the way, they collected supplies and inquired about news. The team grew quietly, and the amazed or admiring eyes of passers-by became their strongest support.

"Look, those young people. I heard that they are going to challenge the arrogant holder of the Wind Whispering Heart!" Inside the teahouse, a middle-aged woman was whispering, the embroidery needle in her hand flying up and down.

"Yes, if I were young, I would also like to go on adventures with them." The old man next to him sighed, following the team hurriedly walking outside the window, a trace of nostalgia and envy flashed in his eyes.

"Dad, I want to help them too!" The little girl held the old man's hand, her eyes full of longing for a hero.

"Haha, when you grow up, you can also become a hero like that." The old man touched his granddaughter's head lovingly, but secretly prayed in his heart that these young people would return safely.

The entrance to the Valley of the Wind was full of jagged rocks and howling winds, as if telling an ancient legend. The team stopped in a vast open space, Qi Meng closed her eyes and concentrated, and light gushed out from the tip of her staff, transforming into a shining bird of light, which circled once and flew into the depths of the valley.

"With this light bird, we can keep track of what's happening in the valley at any time." Qi Meng said softly, with a hint of fatigue but more determination in her voice.

"I always feel that this journey has been too peaceful." Shadow frowned and looked around. "The enemy cannot be unaware of our arrival. This is probably the calm before the storm."

"You're right. We can't take it lightly." Su Ye nodded, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's. "Alia, can you sense if there is anything unusual around you?"

Arya closed her eyes and extended her perception to the surroundings. After a moment, she shook her head slightly: "At present, everything is normal, but there is a sense of oppression in the air."

Night fell again, and just as everyone was preparing to set up camp, a rush of wind suddenly cut through the night sky, and the light bird fell like a meteor, its light dimmed, and it was obvious that it had suffered a serious blow.

"Oh no! Something happened!" Qi Meng hurriedly ran to the place where the light bird fell. Everyone's heart sank, and they had a premonition that something was wrong.

"It's... a huge maze..." The light bird used up its last bit of strength, transformed into a ray of light and merged into Qimeng's staff, conveying urgent information.

"A maze?" Su Ye frowned. "It seems that the enemy has been prepared and intends to trap us in it."

"We have no choice but to force our way in," said the father in a deep voice, "but we must be extremely careful. Everyone must stay close to the group and not act on their own."

Late at night, under the starlight, a group of people stepped into the maze of the Valley of the Wind. Inside the maze, the wind howled, and the paths were tortuous and complicated, like a dream in the fog. Every step you take needs to be taken carefully, as the slightest mistake could lead you into a dead end.

"How can there be such a complicated maze here?" Lin En whispered, following Su Ye closely, afraid that he would get lost. "It is said that this maze was built by ancient wind whisperers to protect some secrets, and it contains countless mechanisms and traps." Su Ye explained, observing the surroundings with keen eyes, looking for possible clues.

As they moved forward cautiously, a low and hoarse voice suddenly sounded in their ears: "Foolish intruders, what awaits you will be eternal loss..."

"Who is it? Come out!" Su Ye shouted sternly and clenched the sword in his hand, but there was no other sound except the echoing sound of the wind.

"We are being watched..." Arya reminded in a low voice. Her sixth sense told her that there were pairs of prying eyes hidden in this maze.

"Don't be afraid. Since we are here, we don't plan to return empty-handed." Shadow held on, his tone revealing an unyielding spirit. "It's time for the guy hiding in the dark to show himself."

Before he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew up, and an ancient mural slowly emerged on the stone wall of the maze. In the mural was a wind talker holding a scepter and wearing a windbreaker. His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate time and space, staring at them.

"The guardian of the Whispering Wind Heart has awakened for the first time in a thousand years." The Wind Speaker in the mural suddenly spoke, and his voice echoed throughout the maze. "Prove your qualifications and solve the secrets of the maze before you can reach the Whispering Wind Heart."

In the stories of passers-by, this legendary trial is an unprecedented challenge, but for Su Ye and his group, it is not only a test, but also a persistence of faith.

"Proof? How to prove it?" Su Ye stared at the mural with a firm look.

"Every corner hides a puzzle. Only by solving them can you find the right path." The image of the Windtalker gradually dissipated, and the wind in the maze seemed to soften a little, as if encouraging them to move forward.

Every member of the team contributes in their own way. Qimeng uses her magic light to illuminate the way ahead and reveal hidden clues; Alia uses her keen intuition to guide the direction and avoid traps one after another; Shadow uses his rich experience and wisdom to solve problems one after another. And Lin En, the new young man, uses his courageous heart to explore and brings unexpected surprises and discoveries to the team.

"Look, there is a stone here that is different from the others. Is it some kind of mechanism?" Lin En pointed to a slightly raised stone slab, with curiosity flashing in his eyes.

Su Ye stepped forward and pressed it gently. With a roar, a stone wall slowly opened, revealing a previously undiscovered path. Everyone's eyes lit up, and an indescribable excitement rose in their hearts.

"We can do it!" Lynn shouted excitedly, and this optimism infected everyone.

In this way, they solved the mystery of the maze step by step, and with every step forward, they seemed to feel the call of the Whispering Heart becoming stronger and stronger. However, just when they thought they were about to touch the truth, a sudden change disrupted everything.

"Be careful!" Arya suddenly issued a warning. A group of storm-like monsters swept in from the depths of the maze. They were condensed from the element of wind and their attacks were swift and ruthless.

The battle was about to start. Su Ye swung his sword to meet the enemy, and each slash was precise and powerful. Qi Meng's staff of light shone brightly, dispelling the darkness and protecting teammates. Although Youying's wounds had not healed, he still commanded calmly and looked for the monster's weaknesses. Lin En was not to be outdone, using the surrounding environment to create traps to assist in the battle. Arya used her sensory ability to give early warnings to ensure that the team would not be ambushed.

"You invaders, don't even think about getting close to the Heart of Wind Whispering!" A figure appeared in front of everyone accompanied by a strong wind. It was a mysterious man in a cloak, his eyes burning with unwillingness and anger.

"Who are you? Why are you stopping us?" Su Ye asked, his sword pointing directly at the other party.

The mysterious man sneered: "I am the guardian of the Whispering Wind Heart and the master of this maze. If you want to obtain the Whispering Wind Heart, you must get past me first."

"If your goal is to protect, why don't you let the Wind Whispering Heart unleash its true power and save this continent?" Qi Meng questioned, her voice clear and firm.

The mysterious man was silent for a moment, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes: "Real power? Do you really think that a mortal can control this power without being devoured by it?"

"We are not seeking control, but we hope to use its power to bring peace and hope." Su Ye answered with his chest puffed out, his tone full of firmness and sincerity.

The mysterious man seemed touched and slowly let down his guard: "Perhaps, you are really the chosen ones... But the test is not over yet."

After saying this, the mysterious man turned into a gust of wind and disappeared, leaving the group of people where they were with mixed feelings.

"Did we... succeed?" Lynn seemed a little incredulous.

"No, this is just the beginning." Shadow said softly. He looked into the depths of the maze, where there seemed to be a more brilliant light calling them. "The real challenge has just begun."

The night fell again, the stars shone brightly, and the group embarked on a more unknown journey. The passers-by who passed by all looked at them with admiration and expectation, and whispered:
“They may really be able to create a miracle.”

"Yes, the legend of the Whispering Wind Heart may open a new chapter in their hands."

"Hey, have you heard? Those brave adventurers seem to have found the clue to pass through the maze!" In the tavern of the small town, several young people sat around the table, excitedly talking about the latest news circulating in the outside world.

“It’s incredible that young Lin En has shown such talent not long after joining the team.” A young man with a short beard raised his glass and toasted to the air, as if the group of travelers could feel this distant respect.

"Yes, and there's that Shadow. Even though he's injured, he's still calm and collected. What a tough guy." The girl next to him had admiration in her eyes.

"Don't forget Miss Qi Meng, her magic is simply a miracle, lighting their way forward." The old man at another table sighed, with a smile hidden between his wrinkles.

Deep in the Valley of the Wind maze, Su Ye and his companions faced new challenges, but their unity and persistence, like a spark that sets a prairie on fire, inspired every heart around them that yearned for a miracle.
