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

The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight penetrated the treetops and sprinkled on the land that had just experienced the baptism of blood and fire, the team had packed their bags and prepared to set out on the journey again. The villagers gathered spontaneously. Although they were reluctant to leave, they also understood that this group of young warriors had a heavier mission.

"You must come back!" The little girl held tightly in her hand a small flower that had bloomed last night. She had picked it up from the ashes of the carnival. It symbolized hope and vitality.

"Yes, when we have solved all this, we will come back to tell you stories." Arya squatted down, gently touched the little girl's head, and gave her a warm smile.

The team walked farther and farther away until their figures completely merged into the morning mist in the distance. The adventure that night has become a new round of legend passed down by word of mouth in the village, inspiring everyone who heard the story.

"Where should we look for clues next?" Lynn asked as they walked. His eyes were sharp and he kept scanning the surroundings just in case.

"To the west, the place mentioned in the ancient prophecy." Casar pointed to the horizon, where the sun was rising. "And, according to Kevin's hint, we need to find more information about the prophecy. It is said that there is a secret library in the far west, which contains a lot of lost knowledge."

"Library? Sounds good, I like it." Shadow rarely showed interest, with a smile on his lips. He was always eager for unknown knowledge.

"Then let's set off and head west to find the ancient prophecy." Su Ye announced loudly, with a determined fire burning in his eyes, and this determination infected everyone.

The team followed the winding path and embarked on an unknown journey to the west. Along the way, they met all kinds of passers-by, and each encounter was the beginning of a new story.

In the first town, when they were resting and repairing their equipment in the blacksmith shop, a ragged traveler came up and looked at everyone with curiosity, "Hey, you guys look so impressive, are you going to solve some big trouble again?" He grinned, with a sly glint in his eyes.

Su Ye smiled and replied: "I guess so. We are tracking some clues and hope to resolve the upcoming crisis."

The traveler's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Then you better be careful. The roads are not peaceful recently. I heard that there is a 'Shadow Legion' that is gathering in secret. Maybe they have the answer you are looking for."

"Shadow Legion?" Qi Meng frowned. She felt strange yet familiar with the name. "Thank you for the information. We will be careful."

After bidding farewell to the travelers, they continued on their way. When they passed through a vast wheat field, a farmer wearing a straw hat stopped working and waved to them from afar, "Warriors, it seems that you are shouldering an important mission! I heard that there is ancient wisdom hidden in the mountains to the west, and the wind there carries the secrets of the past. I wish you good luck!"

The encouragement from the villagers flowed into their hearts like a warm current, making this journey full of meaning.

Finally, in front of a rolling hill, they found the clue to the secret library. A hunchbacked old scholar was sitting at the entrance of the cave, fiddling with a bunch of strange instruments.

"Ah, welcome. Few people can find this place." The old man narrowed his eyes, as if he could see through their thoughts. "My name is Merlin, and I am the guardian of this place. If you are looking for lost knowledge, then you have come to the right place."

"Master Merlin, we are pursuing an ancient prophecy that is said to concern the fate of the world." Casar respectfully explained his purpose.

Merlin smiled meaningfully after hearing this. "A prophecy? That's not something that can be easily interpreted. Come with me. Perhaps some ancient books in the library can help you."

In the library, Shadow was like a fish into water. He excitedly moved between the bookshelves, his fingers gently stroking the spine of each book, looking for the legendary prophecy.

"Found it!" After a moment, he carefully took out a dusty book. The cover was a little worn, but the runes on it still emitted a faint light.

As the pages turn, ancient texts come into view, telling a story about light and darkness, courage and sacrifice, and foreshadowing that an unprecedented trial is about to come.

"That's what we're looking for, but..." Lin En frowned. It was obvious that the information was incomplete. "It mentioned a key location, but there was no specific location."

"Don't be impatient," Qi Meng's eyes suddenly lit up, "there seems to be something hidden at the end of the book." She gently touched an inconspicuous symbol, and the pages slowly unfolded, revealing a faded map with a little-known valley marked on it - the Valley of Prophecy.

"The Valley of Prophecy, that's our next destination." Su Ye said firmly, with an unyielding light flashing in his eyes.

"The road ahead is long and filled with dangers, but I believe in you, the younger generation." Merlin nodded, his eyes sparkling with hope for the future.

As the sunset stretched the shadows of the five people, they left the library and headed towards the Valley of Prophecy. On the way, Qi Meng whispered, "No matter what awaits us ahead, as long as we unite as one, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome."

“Indeed,” Arya clenched her fists, her eyes determined, “We have proven that even in the face of despair, there is still hope.”

"However, speaking of the Shadow Legion," Lin En murmured, "it is an extremely mysterious organization. It is said that they possess forbidden powers. We must act more cautiously to avoid alerting them."

There was a tacit understanding and solemnity among the team members. Everyone knew that every next step might be on the edge of a knife.

They traveled through wilderness, villages, and towns. The reactions of passers-by varied, but together they formed a vivid picture of the journey.

In a busy market, an old woman selling fruit saw them in a hurry and asked curiously, "Young man, young lady, where are you going in such a hurry? You don't look like ordinary travelers."

"Grandma, we are looking for answers, answers to the prophecy." Arya responded kindly. Her smile was gentle, but it hid an imperceptible tenacity.

The old woman narrowed her eyes, thinking: "Prophecy, that's a big deal. Although my old bones have not seen much of the world, I have heard a saying, 'At the crossroads of fate, listen to the guidance of the wind.' Perhaps you should pay attention to those details that ordinary people ignore."

"Thank you for your advice, grandma." Su Ye nodded gratefully. These seemingly casual words often hide unknown wisdom.

During the journey, they came across a group of young adventurers, who were amazed at how well-equipped they were.

"Hey, you guys are professionals, right? You look like you can do great things!" One of them raised his eyebrows and smiled. "We are just doing what we should do." Qi Meng smiled in response. Her calmness and confidence made the group of young people in awe.

"I really hope to go on an adventure with you guys, it will definitely be exciting!" They said enviously and watched the team leave as the discussions gradually faded away.

Just like that, with every encounter with passers-by, the team's story spreads like ripples, becoming a topic of conversation after dinner, inspiring more people to pursue courage and justice.

Finally, on a dark and windy night, they arrived at the entrance of the Valley of Prophecy. It was shrouded in thick fog and was strangely quiet, with only the occasional roar of an unknown beast breaking the silence.

"This is it," Shadow whispered, his eyes flashing sharply in the night. "I can feel that the air here is filled with antiquity and mystery."

"Then, we don't have time to hesitate." Su Ye stood still, looked around, and fixed his eyes firmly on each team member. "No matter what greets us, remember, we are doing this for this world and for the future. Together, until the end."

Just as they were about to step into the valley, an old and ethereal voice suddenly sounded in the air: "Brave travelers, your test has just begun. The truth of the prophecy is hidden between the deepest darkness and light. Only with faith in your heart can you glimpse it."

The sound faded away with the wind, leaving only the five people staring at each other, their hearts filled with both anxiety and excitement. This sudden omen undoubtedly deepened their premonition of the challenges they were about to face.

"So, are we ready?" Lynn clenched his fists, the flame of battle burning in his eyes.

"Together." The four responded in unison. Although their voices were soft, they were as firm as an oath.

As the last trace of hesitation was replaced by firm determination, the five people resolutely stepped into the fog of the Valley of Prophecy, where unknown challenges were quietly waiting for their arrival.

In the fog, light and shadows are mottled, and every step seems to step into another world. Time and space are intertwined here, making it difficult to tell the direction. However, the trust and tacit understanding between the team members turned into an invisible force, leading them forward.

"Look over there!" Arya called softly, pointing to a strange light that penetrated the mist. In the center of the light, an ancient stone tablet stood alone, with complex patterns engraved on it, emitting a faint blue light, echoing the totems in their hands.

"Is this... the guidance of a prophecy?" Casar muttered to himself, walked forward, and reached out to touch the smooth and cold stone tablet. A cool feeling instantly spread throughout his body, as if telling a thousand-year-old story.

"Be careful," Lin En looked around vigilantly, "This light is too conspicuous and may attract unnecessary trouble."

Before he finished speaking, a heavy sound of footsteps came closer and closer, and a group of figures wearing black cloaks gradually emerged from the fog. Their eyes were cold and deep, and there was an ominous aura around them.

"Legion of Shadows." Shadow confirmed in a low voice, quietly gathering the power of shadow in his hands, ready to respond to any surprise attack at any time.

"We have no ill intentions, we are just seeking knowledge." Su Ye stepped forward, his words firm but polite, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

"Knowledge? That's a huge burden." The leading black-robed man sneered and said in a hoarse voice, "However, if you are willing, you can follow us and see what the so-called 'prophecy' can bring to this world."

Faced with this unexpected proposal, the team exchanged glances, seemingly weighing the implications and risks behind it. Finally, Su Ye nodded: "We will consider it, but before that, we want to explore it ourselves."

The man in black robe nodded slightly, signaling his men to retreat. They disappeared into the mist, leaving a group of people to continue going deeper into the valley.

On the way, they met a wandering singer who was leaning against an old tree, playing and singing softly. His melodious voice penetrated the mist and carried a strange magic.

"Brave traveler, your road is long and difficult." The singer looked up at Su Ye, with a strange light in his eyes. "How will your story be written? Will it be forgotten in the dust of history, or will it illuminate the darkness and become a legend?"

"We are not only pursuing personal glory." Qi Meng stepped forward, her tone full of unquestionable determination, "What we want to protect is this world and everyone who lives on this land."

The wandering singer smiled slightly, took out an exquisite piccolo from his bosom and gave it to Qi Meng: "Then, let this piccolo be your loyal companion on your journey. It will guide you when you need strength."

As they go deeper and deeper, the scenes in the valley become more and more bizarre, with ancient ruins and unknown creatures appearing alternately, and each encounter is a test of wisdom and courage.

Just when they thought they were about to touch the core of the prophecy, the earth suddenly shook, and a huge shadow fell from the sky, blocking out the sunlight. A huge creature with wings and claws, like a mythical dragon, slowly landed in front of them.

"Dragon... this is impossible..." Lynn whispered in disbelief.

The dragon's eyes swept over them with a hint of curiosity and scrutiny: "Little creatures, what makes you dare to set foot in this forbidden land?"

"Lord Dragon, we are here to find a prophecy that can change the fate of the world." Su Ye answered bravely. Although his voice trembled slightly, his eyes never flinched.

The dragon hummed, and the voice echoed throughout the valley: "The prophecy... It is neither hope nor despair, but a test of choice. Are you ready to bear the consequences of all this?"

"We are ready." The team members said in unison, their eyes burning with infinite longing for the future and undying determination.

The dragon whistled softly, and disappeared in a flash of light, leaving behind a dazzling scale. "Take it with you as proof of your courage. Remember, true strength comes from within, not from external things."

Holding the dragon scales, the team continued to move forward. They knew that there were more unknowns and challenges waiting for them ahead, but as they said, as long as they had faith in their hearts, nothing was impossible. (End of this chapter)
