Chapter 771 The Power of Knowledge

"You have the key, and I have the knowledge. If we join forces, perhaps we can unlock the greatest secret of this world." Leo stood up, tall and imposing. He looked into the distance, and seemed to see the trajectory of the future in his eyes.

Su Ye looked around at his teammates, and finally locked his gaze on Leo, nodding firmly: "Then, Son of the Stars, welcome to join us. As long as we have light in our hearts, no matter how unknown the road ahead is, we will move forward."

"Very well, then let us set off to reveal the truths buried by time and the true meaning of light and darkness connected by that key." After Leo's words fell, there was a burst of exclamation and applause from the crowd around him. They seemed ready to witness the beginning of a new era.

As the team set off again, the afterglow of the setting sun gradually disappeared on the horizon, night fell, and stars began to adorn the sky. But the last words of the conversation, like a prophecy, stirred everyone's heart:
"Leo, what exactly is the secret you just mentioned?"

"The secret," Leo smiled slightly. In that smile, there was both the accumulation of ancient wisdom and infinite imagination of the future. "It is about the most essential power in the universe - the balance between light and darkness, and the role of all of us, including this key, in this huge chess game."

"Role?" Qi Meng asked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and determination, "We are not just passive pawns of fate, right?"

"Of course not, Qimeng," Leo nodded approvingly, "We are chess players who can rewrite our destiny. And this key is the medium to open the door to the answer. It can not only lead us to discover the shadows hidden behind the light, but also reveal the light hidden in the darkness."

The little girl pulled Suye's hand, her eyes flickering with yearning for the unknown world: "Then what should we do? Should we look for more clues?"

"That's right, little one," Su Ye squatted down, so that his eyes were parallel to the little girl, and said gently but firmly, "We will embark on a journey to find the truth, uncover the past and illuminate the future."

The team was silent for a moment, and finally Leah spoke softly. Her words were like the brightest star in the night sky, guiding the way forward: "No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, we have each other. Let us use love as a boat and faith as a sail to explore the unknown shore together."

At this time, a voice came from the crowd. It was that of a weathered veteran, his voice trembling with excitement: "I am willing to follow you and witness this great adventure together. Even if my old bones cannot charge into battle for you, I have stories and experience that may be able to help you at a critical moment."

There were murmurs of approval among the crowd, and more passers-by expressed their desire to join in. They were moved by the bravery and perseverance and longed to be part of this legend.

"Look, this is our strength." Leo looked at Su Ye and the others, his eyes flashing with pride, "When people gather together, they are invincible. We are not fighting alone, but walking hand in hand."

"So, friends, new members," Su Ye announced loudly, his eyes sweeping over everyone present, whether they were team members or new partners, "Are you ready to take on the challenge? Let us fight side by side, for the light, and to find out the truth hidden in the darkness."

The crowd erupted in a thunderous response; applause and cheers gathered into a powerful force, as if foreshadowing the coming of an era of change.

In this warm atmosphere, another meteor streaked across the night sky, but it was no longer an ominous sign. Instead, it was more like the universe's response to this group of brave men, giving them endless courage and hope.

"Let's go, towards the unknown, towards the light." Leah's voice was clear and firm, as if she had pressed the start button for the journey.

Accompanied by the newly joined Leo and a group of enthusiastic passers-by, the team embarked on a journey full of unknowns and challenges. Their goal is not only to unlock the secrets hidden behind the key, but also to maintain the peace and light of this continent and bravely face the power that may come from darkness.

Along the way, residents of towns and villages heard the news and rushed to see the legendary team in person or to express their support and respect for them. Whenever the team passed by, passers-by could always be heard whispering and talking about it. Their stories were like the wind, blowing to every corner of the continent.

"I heard that they carry ancient keys that can open the doors to light and darkness." A young peasant woman said to her companions, her eyes full of curiosity about the unknown.

"Yes, and there is also the Son of the Stars. It is said that he is knowledgeable and can decipher the secrets of the stars." The blacksmith next to him interrupted, his words full of respect and curiosity for Leo.

During a short break on a small hill, Su Ye showed everyone the mysterious key. In the sunlight, the patterns on the key glowed softly, causing the people around to exclaim in amazement. A little boy squeezed to the front, his big eyes twinkling: "When I grow up, I want to be a warrior like you!"

Qi Meng bent down, touched the little boy's head, and smiled: "Everyone can be the hero of his own story. The important thing is to have courage and a kind heart."

Leah took out a map from her bag and studied the next course of action with Leo. Her fingers gently ran over the marks on the map, each dot representing a place that might hide a secret: "We must not only look for clues, but also learn to listen to the voice of this continent, which will guide us."

In the following days, the team encountered various trials, from monster attacks in the dense forest to puzzle tests in ancient ruins. Every difficulty deepened their bond and made their beliefs stronger. Passers-by also showed their own strengths in the process. Some were good at healing, and some were familiar with ancient history. They became an indispensable part of the team.

One day, they encountered an unprecedented challenge in a deserted ancient city - a huge monster eroded by the power of darkness guarding an ancient book. The battle was extremely fierce, and when everyone was almost exhausted, the little girl suddenly remembered Leo's words: "The balance of light and darkness", and she loudly proposed to use the light contained in the key to fight the monster.

With the encouragement of everyone, the little girl bravely raised the key. At that moment, the key shone with dazzling light, dispelling the dark monsters bit by bit. Everyone was amazed and witnessed the greatness of the power of light.

After the battle, they discovered deeper revelations about the key in ancient books, as well as a forgotten prophecy that the holder of the key would lead the world into a new era.

"It seems that every step we take is closely connected to this world." Su Ye closed the ancient book and looked into the distance, with an unprecedented firmness in his eyes. "Yes, we are not only explorers, but also guardians." Leo added, his eyes met Su Ye's, and the two seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding.

As night fell, a group of people lit a bonfire in the ruins of the ancient city, sat around, and shared their stories and dreams. An old man among the passers-by slowly spoke: "In ancient legends, a true warrior is not one who is fearless, but one who keeps moving forward in the face of fear. You are such a warrior."

"We can get to where we are today because no one has given up. This is the power of the team." Qi Meng held the hand of the person next to her tightly, and warmth flowed in her heart.

The little girl snuggled in Qimeng's arms, her eyes full of longing for the future: "I think we can really change everything."

The conversation gradually faded away, and the stars in the night sky seemed to be guiding them. In such a warm and hopeful atmosphere, Leo whispered: "Tomorrow will be a new day, and we are one step closer to the truth."

"And we are always on the road." Su Ye took over the conversation, his eyes piercing through the night, as if he had seen the dawn.

Just as the team was immersed in discovery and hope, enjoying a brief peace, a sudden storm broke the peace. Dark clouds gathered quickly, covering the stars, and between the wind and the clouds, a low roar sounded from afar. It was the roar of the power of nature that was distorted by some evil.

"Everyone be careful!" Leo was keenly aware of something wrong and immediately shouted alertly. The team quickly assembled and formed a defensive formation. Everyone knew that a tough battle was inevitable.

At this moment, the earth trembled and a huge black shadow jumped out of the dark forest. It was a creature they had never seen before. Its body was covered with black scales, and its eyes were like the abyss, emitting an ominous red light. It was the embodiment of the power of darkness and the most severe test in their journey.

"Disperse! Don't give it a chance to concentrate its attack!" Su Ye quickly gave orders, and the team members followed the instructions and tried to distract the shadow. However, the little girl accidentally fell in panic, and seeing that the monster's huge claws were about to fall, Su Ye rushed up without hesitation and pushed the little girl away, but he himself failed to avoid the thunderous blow.

"Su Ye!" A cry came from the team. Su Ye was knocked away by the huge force and fell heavily to the ground. The blood instantly dyed his clothes red. The little girl was so scared that she burst into tears and trembled as she tried to get closer.

“Don’t come over!” Although the pain made his face pale, Su Ye still held on, using a hoarse voice to stop the little girl from getting close to danger, “Listen to Leo, keep moving forward…”

Leo's face was solemn. He quickly directed everyone to form a protective circle around the injured Su Ye, and at the same time concentrated his mind and tried to deal with the shadow. "Qimeng, take the child back, we will resist." His words were full of unquestionable determination.

The battle became more and more brutal in the wind and rain. Every blow was accompanied by Leo and his men's contest with the forces of darkness. The flames and light spells intertwined, colliding with the dark energy of the shadow. The light and shadow tore at each other, and the world seemed to have become a battlefield for the confrontation between good and evil.

"We can't lose... For Su Ye, for the light!" Leah roared, and the staff in her hand burst into a dazzling light. A beam of purifying light hit the black shadow's heart, causing it to retreat temporarily, showing signs of weakness.

In this fleeting moment of respite, Leo suddenly leaped forward, knowledge and power merged in his body, and he seemed to have touched the deepest mystery of light and darkness in the universe. "In the name of knowledge, break the darkness!" He chanted loudly, and the key in his hand emitted an unprecedented light, echoing his words, forming a beam of light that pierced the dark night and hit the shadow's vital point.

The shadow roared in pain, and his body gradually dissipated into the air, as if purified by the light. The battle was over, but the air was still filled with an uneasy atmosphere. Su Ye was seriously injured and in critical condition.

"We have to find a safe place to treat him as soon as possible." Qi Meng's voice was filled with anxiety. Everyone worked together to lift Su Ye up and rushed to the nearest village, praying in their hearts that they could find a way to cure him in time.

On the way, the little girl held Su Ye's cold hand tightly, her tear-stained face full of determination: "Brother Su Ye, you will definitely get better, right? You said that we should face the unknown together and move towards the light together."

It was late at night, and a group of people were walking fast under the moonlight. Although the starlight was dim, the seed of light had quietly taken root in their hearts. No matter what, they had to escort this seed until it bloomed with the most dazzling light. At this moment, a conversation was heard in the team, which made everyone feel warm.

"He was injured to protect us. We can't let this sacrifice go to waste." Qi Meng said softly.

"Indeed, Su Ye taught us that true light comes not only from the outside world, but also from the courage and persistence in our hearts." Leo responded with a firm look.

The little girl closed her eyes and made a wish silently. She believed that as long as they united as one, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.

"Look over there, there are lights!" Leah suddenly pointed to the foot of the mountain not far away and shouted. There were a few warm lights faintly there, which were particularly eye-catching in the dark night. Everyone was refreshed and quickened their pace.

Arriving at the village, the villagers showed surprise and concern for this sudden visit with seriously injured people. The village chief was an old man with wrinkles on his face but sharp eyes. He looked at everyone and finally his eyes fell on the unconscious Su Ye. He said in a heavy tone: "Take him to the village treatment room. Although we don't have advanced therapists, we still have basic herbs and treatments."

In the simple but clean treatment room, several healers in the village were busy, gently treating Su Ye's wounds while discussing the combination of herbs. Outside the door, everyone was anxiously waiting, occasionally hearing low conversations from inside, and Su Ye's occasional groans of pain, which made people's hearts clenched.

"We are really powerless to treat such an injury. We can only rely on him." A young healer came out and said with an apologetic look on his face. Leo frowned, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then decided to seek help from the village chief.
