Chapter 822 Planetarium

Avril agreed softly: "Yes, no matter what the future holds, as long as the light in our hearts is not extinguished, hope will always exist. And this power is our most powerful weapon."

As they talked, the night deepened and the crowd around the bonfire gradually dispersed. Su Zhe and Avril walked in the night breeze, the moonlight pouring down on them like water.

"Avril, are you afraid? The road ahead may be more difficult than anything we are experiencing now." Su Zhe asked, with a complex light flashing in his eyes.

Avril shook her head slightly, with a firm smile: "With you here and all of us together, what is there to be afraid of? Light and shadow dance together, that is the truth of the world and the harmony we pursue. I believe that as long as there is love in our hearts, the world will respond to us with the same warmth."

Su Zhe held Avril's hand tightly, and the two smiled at each other. No words were needed, and everything was said without words. In the distance, the stars in the night sky seemed to be guiding the direction for this brave pair of travelers, indicating that a new journey was about to begin.

Just as the atmosphere was getting better, a sudden burst of hurried footsteps interrupted the tranquility. A pale young man almost staggered into the circle of light of the campfire. He was still gasping for breath, his eyes full of disbelief: "Master Su Zhe, it's bad! There is a fog that has never been seen before in the east of the village. There seems to be a voice calling out, luring people to come closer. Several children have disappeared!"

The crowd immediately exploded, and fear and anxiety spread like wildfire. Su Zhe's face darkened, and he immediately looked at Nowell: "Take a few people with you, go check the situation first, and make sure the villagers are safe." Without saying a word, Nowell ran out, followed by several nimble figures.

"Alia, this anomaly may be related to the power of shadow. You come with me." Su Zhe's tone was full of unquestionable determination. He then gently comforted the villagers around him, "Please stay here and keep the bonfire burning. Light is our strongest shield."

Although the villagers were worried, their trust in Su Zhe made them choose to stay where they were, encourage each other, and wait for the heroes to return.

Going deeper into the fog, Su Zhe and Alia discovered that the fog was not formed naturally, but the remnant of some ancient magic. In the fog, an illusory figure loomed, tempting with a sweet voice: "Come, there is no pain here, only eternal happiness."

"It's an illusion. Everyone, be careful and don't be fooled." Alia reminded in a low voice, while releasing a fresh light to purify the mental interference of Su Zhe and the others.

Su Zhe tightly grasped the Red Sun Sword, and lightly tapped the tip of the sword. A blade of light cut through the mist and directly hit a figure, but it dissipated and reassembled not far away. Su Zhe frowned and said, "These are phantoms controlled by the shadows. We must find the source to solve them."

As they went deeper and deeper, the fog suddenly churned violently, and a deep and seductive voice sounded: "Su Zhe, you are more difficult than I thought. However, this game has just begun."

As the words fell, an ancient stone door emerged from the center of the fog, and a frightening darkness shone through the cracks in the door. "That's the source of everything," Alia said in a deep voice.

Su Zhe nodded and was about to take a step forward, but was stopped by an old man who suddenly appeared. The old man was in tattered clothes, but his eyes were extremely sharp: "Young man, there is an ancient and terrifying secret hidden behind this door. Are you sure you want to step in?"

Su Zhe smiled, his eyes gleaming with determination: "In order to protect this land and its people, I have no choice."

The old man sighed and handed over a roll of yellowed parchment. "This is the method of sealing this door in the ancient book. I hope it will be helpful to you. Remember, true power comes from the light within, not external weapons."

After receiving the parchment, Su Zhe and Alia looked at each other and resolutely stepped into the door. Behind the door was an unknown darkness, and what awaited them would be an unprecedented challenge.

Just when it seemed like they were about to fall into darkness again, a childish voice rang out beside the bonfire outside the door: "Dad, Brother Su Zhe and the others will be fine, right?"

The father lowered his head and gently touched the child's head: "Yes, because they have the most precious thing - the belief in light and the determination to protect each other. And we will also be here to light the way home for them."

The darkness was as dark as ink, instantly engulfing the figures of Su Zhe and Alia. The door closed silently behind them, as if isolating the light and hope from the outside. The villagers around the campfire had even more worries on their faces. The children clung to the adults tightly, looking around anxiously.

Just as the tense atmosphere was pervasive, a deafening roar sounded from afar, the earth began to tremble slightly, and the villagers' hearts tightened. Then, a black shadow quickly covered a corner of the sky like the night fell. It was a dense tide of monsters of various shapes, and their target was this temporarily peaceful village.

"Prepare for battle!" Su Zhe's voice penetrated the darkness and echoed in everyone's ears. Although he was not present at the moment, his decisiveness and courage were conveyed to everyone through his previous words. Nowell quickly organized the young and strong men in the village and distributed simple weapons. Everyone's eyes were shining with determination and indomitable spirit.

Avril stood in front of the crowd, a soft halo formed in her palms. Although the light was not as bright as the daylight, it was enough to warm people's hearts. "Fear will only make the shadow stronger. We must believe in Su Zhe and Alia, and even more so in ourselves." Her words were like a spring breeze, giving the villagers the strength to persevere.

The vanguard of the monsters arrived first, roaring and waving their limbs in an attempt to break through the last line of defense. But what greeted them was the villagers' unyielding courage and united strength. Novel led the way, and every swing of his sword was accompanied by a flash of cold light, accurate and deadly; Lucas moved flexibly, using the environment to set traps to delay the monsters' offensive.

As the battle continued, scars gradually covered everyone's body, but their eyes remained firm. At this critical moment, a burst of light burst out from the east of the village. It was the signal that Su Zhe and Alia had broken the ancient seal and returned. With their return, two powerful forces merged into the battlefield, and the situation was reversed in an instant.

Su Zhe held the Red Sun Sword, and each strike was like the light of dawn, cutting through the darkness, while Alia used her light magic to heal the wounded and weaken the monsters' combat power. The two of them cooperated tacitly, like two unstoppable rays of light, passing through the battlefield.

"We won't lose!" Su Zhe shouted, his voice was full of inspiring power, making every soldier burst out with a stronger will to fight. As the battle reached its climax, the seemingly endless wave of monsters gradually retreated, until the last ray of shadow was swallowed by the light. When the smoke dissipated, the sky returned to its peaceful deep blue. The villagers gathered around Su Zhe and Alia. Although they were tired, they were more happy about the victory and the hope of rebirth. The children cheered and their innocent smiles became the most beautiful scenery of the night.

"It seems that tonight's bonfire will not only celebrate, but also commemorate our common victory." Su Zhe smiled and looked around at everyone tenderly. Alia gently held his arm. There was no need to say more about the tacit understanding between the two of them. Everything was self-evident.

"Brother Su Zhe, you did it!" The child who had asked the question spoke again. He ran to Su Zhe with admiration in his eyes, "I want to be a warrior who protects everyone in the future!"

Su Zhe squatted down, his eyes calm and firm: "Child, everyone can be a warrior in his own life. Courage is not only about fighting against external enemies, but also about being indomitable in the face of difficulties and the unremitting pursuit of a better life. Remember, light will always appear in the darkest moment."

The night deepened, but the bonfire burned brighter and brighter, reflecting everyone's smiling faces. In this bright land, the story did not end, but a new chapter began. Su Zhe, Avril and their companions will continue their journey, explore the unknown, and protect this land, and the villagers will remember this moment as a seed of hope that will take root and sprout and be passed down from generation to generation.

"No matter how many challenges there are in the future, as long as we are together, there are no difficulties that cannot be overcome." Avril said softly, her words were like the brightest stars in the night sky, guiding the way forward.

Su Zhe nodded, a gentle smile on his face: "Yes, the story we write together will be the most brilliant legend."

During the conversation, the atmosphere around the campfire became extremely warm, and new hope was ignited in everyone's heart. The children sat in the front, their eyes sparkling with infinite yearning for heroes and curiosity about the future.

"Brother Su Zhe, can you tell us about the outside world?" a child asked expectantly.

Su Zhe leaned down, his eyes gently sweeping over every young face: "The world outside is vast and mysterious, with endless mountains, endless oceans, and all kinds of rare and exotic animals. But the most important thing is that no matter where you go, there are people like you who have dreams and courage."

"Are there any scary monsters?" another child interrupted nervously.

"Of course, but it is these challenges that make us stronger." Avril said, her smile full of longing for the future, "Every difficulty we encounter is a trial stone on the road of growth, which makes us learn to be tenacious and brave."

Su Zhe stood up and looked around, with a deep sense of responsibility for this land in his heart: "But please remember, what protects all of this is not only our swords and magic, but also the faith and love in our hearts. Everyone has the ability to become a light that illuminates others."

At this time, Novel stepped forward with a rough map in his hand: "Su Zhe, I have sorted out the nearby terrain and possible shadow force bases. We need to formulate the next action plan."

Su Zhe took the map and sat in a circle with Alia, Novel and others. Although the discussion was low, it was full of firmness and determination. The villagers watched silently from the side. From their eyes, one could read trust and support.

"We will set out tomorrow morning," Su Zhe finally announced, his voice full of unquestionable determination, "But tonight, let us enjoy this rare peace, celebrate our victory, and accumulate strength for tomorrow's journey."

The singing and laughter around the bonfire continued, and the warm firelight illuminated the night sky, as if even the stars were moved. In this harmonious scene, Su Zhe and Avril sat side by side, looking at everything in front of them, their hearts filled with gratitude and emotion.

"Avril, sometimes I feel that the meaning of this journey is far more than just fighting the shadows." Su Zhe whispered, with stars twinkling in his eyes, "More importantly, we awaken the light in everyone's heart and make them believe that even in the deepest darkness, they can find the spark of hope."

Avril gently held his hand, her eyes gentle but firm: "That's right, Su Zhe. We are not only warriors, but also the disseminators of dreams and hopes. No matter how far and difficult the road is, as long as we have light in our hearts, nothing is impossible."

The conversation gradually died down, leaving only the crackling sound of the campfire and the whisper of the night wind caressing the treetops. In this quiet moment, Su Zhe and Avril smiled at each other, as if all the words had been integrated into each other's eyes.

"Okay, take a rest. Tomorrow is a new day and a new beginning." Su Zhe said, standing up, signaling to the villagers, and then looking at the night sky that was once shrouded in shadows but now embraced by light.

Just as the bonfire party was getting better and better, and the faces of the villagers were filled with joy after surviving the disaster, Su Zhe suddenly felt the cloth bag on his waist vibrate slightly. He calmly took out a sealed parchment roll, which was their secret method of emergency communication. When he unfolded it, there were only a few words on it, and the handwriting was twisted like a worm crawling, exuding an ominous atmosphere:
"The eyes deep in the darkness have opened. You and your light will eventually be annihilated. Be prepared to receive the 'gift'."

A chill ran down his spine, and Su Zhe's eyes became serious. He calmly handed the note to Alia beside him, who frowned after reading it, obviously realizing the seriousness of the situation.

"We must act immediately and not let the village fall into danger again." Su Zhe whispered to Avril and Novel, while keeping an eye on the reactions of the villagers around him, trying not to let this sudden threat break the hard-earned peace.

"Novel, strengthen the security around the village, and pay special attention to those places that are easy to infiltrate." Su Zhe ordered, his tone revealing unquestionable decisiveness.

"Avril, we have to find out the source of this information. Since they can find us, it means there may be a loophole within us." Alia added, with a cold light flashing in her eyes. Years of combat experience have taught her to quickly analyze the situation.
