"We won't act rashly." Su Zhe answered gently, but his unwavering determination reassured everyone. "The goal of our trip is to find a way to seal the source of darkness, not to create new disputes."

"Seal the source of darkness... You guys are really amazing." In the corner of the tavern, a cloaked traveler murmured in a low voice. He stood up and walked towards the team, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes. "If possible, I am willing to provide some information about the Far North, as a little support for the cause of light."

"We would be happy to accept your help." Avril responded with a smile, and her kindness and sincerity made the mysterious traveler nod.

"Remember, there are three major tests in the Far North: the Eternal Storm, the Mist and the Giant's Gate." The traveler lowered his voice and described each one in detail. "Every step is full of unknowns and dangers. You must be extremely careful."

"Thank you for your advice. We will proceed with caution." Su Zhe carefully wrote down every word, and his mind became more clear about the difficulty and importance of this trip.

As the night deepened, the town gradually returned to tranquility, and Su Zhe and his team quietly set out in the dark, heading towards the unknown far north. During the journey, they constantly encountered challenges, whether it was the harsh test of nature or those unpredictable dangers, each time the team relied on each other's trust and ability to get through it safely.

"Captain, the eternal storm ahead looks even more terrifying than the legend." Lin Mufeng stared at the rolling dark clouds in the sky, with thunder and lightning, like the end of the world.

"We have no choice but to cross it." Su Zhe said firmly, his eyes sharp, "Be prepared, everyone follow closely and don't fall behind."

Just as they were about to step into the storm, a melodious melody sounded from the Ice Soul Sword. The song seemed to have the power to calm their minds and give them the courage to face the storm. Guided by the song, the team miraculously passed through the Eternal Storm without any damage.

"It's incredible!" A passing merchant caravan was so surprised that they were speechless after witnessing this scene. Their carriages stopped on the side and the merchants discussed, "How did they do it? That storm never spared any living thing!"

"It is the choice of fate and also the proof of their strength." The leader of the caravan sighed, watching Su Zhe and others gradually disappear on the horizon, his heart full of admiration.

When they overcome numerous difficulties and reach the edge of the misty fantasy, another unprecedented test awaits them. In the fantasy, reality and illusion are intertwined, and countless temptations and fears test everyone's mind.

"Hold on to your beliefs. Our goal is to seal the darkness, not lose ourselves." Su Zhe's words were like a beacon, leading the team to find the true path in the illusion and ultimately break through the constraints of the illusion.

"Look, the shadow of the giant!" Avril pointed to the mountain in the distance that seemed to touch the sky. A huge ice door could be vaguely seen at the foot of the mountain. It was the legendary Giant's Gate.

"Being here means we are not far from our goal." Lin Mufeng tightly grasped the sword in his hand, ready to face the final challenge.

On the way to the Giant's Gate, they encountered the guards of the Frost Giants. These huge creatures, holding huge ice hammers, shook the earth with every step. But under the leadership of Su Zhe, the team cleverly used wisdom and the power of the Ice Soul Sword to avoid direct confrontation and successfully sneaked into the core of the Giant City.

"Is... this the sealed place?" Leah looked at the mysterious seal shining brightly in the center and couldn't believe her eyes.

"That's right. We have to find a way to seal the source of darkness here." Su Zhe walked to the seal, and the Bingpo Sword automatically flew out of the sheath. The tip of the sword gently touched the seal, and the ancient runes lit up, as if communicating with him.

"Captain, do you feel it? It seems like something is calling us." Avril said softly, her eyes closely following Su Zhe's movements.

"Yes, let us complete this final mission." Su Zhe took a deep breath, turned to his companions and said, "No matter what happens next, we must remember our original intention, for light and for peace."

"Are you ready, friends?" Lin Mufeng gripped the hilt of the sword, his eyes flashing with determination.

"Same as always." Avril smiled, a blazing light gathered in her palms, ready to cast a spell at any time.

Just as they were about to take action, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky of the Giant City, and a dark and strange light poured down from it, illuminating the entire sealed area, shocking everyone present.

"This is... the response of the dark power!" Leah's face was solemn. She could feel the malice and oppression of that power, as if foreshadowing an impending crisis.

"We have to speed up." Su Zhe clenched the Ice Soul Sword, and the sword shone even brighter, as if forming a sharp contrast with the darkness. At this moment, the ancient runes on the seal suddenly began to rotate, releasing a soft blue light, enveloping the four of them.

"What happened?" Lin Mufeng asked in surprise, feeling that the air around him became sticky.

"The seal... seems to be guiding us." Avril stared at the unpredictable runes, a glimmer of enlightenment in her eyes.

In the light, an old and majestic voice sounded: "Brave travelers, you have passed the test. The real key to the seal is hidden in the purity and perseverance deep in your heart."

"Deep in the soul?" Su Zhe murmured to himself. He closed his eyes, and deep in his heart, his belief in the light and his trust in his companions surged like a warm current, creating a subtle resonance with the Bingpo Sword.

"I understand!" He suddenly opened his eyes and pointed his sword at the sky. A dazzling light burst out from the tip of the sword and rushed straight into the cracked sky. It collided violently with the dark light and triggered a spectacular energy storm.

In the center of the storm, Su Zhe's figure appeared particularly determined. He seemed to be integrated with the Bingpo Sword, becoming the embodiment of light, resisting the surging darkness. "Friends, together!"

Lin Mufeng, Avril and Leah joined the battle without hesitation. Sword light, magic and ancient spells intertwined together with Su Zhe's power into an unstoppable torrent, rushing towards the source of darkness.

"This... is this the power of humans?" An observer hiding in the dark exclaimed in a low voice. He was a spy from another race. There was shock and a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

"No, this is not just strength, but also the inseparable bond and common belief between them." An old man next to him shook his head with a deep look in his eyes, "We haven't seen this kind of strength for a long time."

Just as the battle reached its climax, the cracks in the sky slowly closed, and the power of darkness gradually dissipated. At the moment when the last trace of darkness was swallowed by light, a gentle and solemn voice echoed in the sealed place: "The darkness has been temporarily expelled, but peace needs your protection."

The light faded, and Su Zhe and the others stood in front of the seal. Although they were exhausted, their eyes were shining with the light of victory. They knew that although they had won this battle, the road to true peace was still long. "Captain, what should we do next?" Lin Mufeng sheathed his sword and looked at Su Zhe with trust in his eyes.

"Go back to the world and tell everyone that the light has never left. As long as we have light in our hearts, we have nothing to fear from darkness." Su Zhe's voice echoed in the wind. He turned to look at Avril and Leah, "We are the messengers of light."

"Yes, Captain." The three answered in unison. At that moment, they seemed to have become a bridge connecting the human world and the mysterious power, shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting the world.

Behind them, the magnificent giant door slowly closed, as if silently witnessing all of this. In the tavern of that small town, the mysterious traveler put on his cloak again, looked in the direction where they were leaving, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"May the light guide you, the brave warriors on your journey. In the future, there will be more challenges and miracles waiting for you." After whispering, he turned and disappeared into the crowd, leaving behind speculations and fantasies.

"Did you see the light just now? That's the direction of Su Zhe and the others!" The residents of the town began to whisper to each other, their surprise and awe evident in their words.

"Yes, the legendary land of frost giants, it is said that even the bravest explorers dare not set foot there easily. Could Su Zhe and his team really be blessed by the gods?" A young blacksmith wiped the sweat from his hands, his eyes flashing with longing.

“Blessing? I think it is their strength and determination that allow them to go so far. After all, there is light in the heart of each of us, but they dare to pursue it and dare to become that light.” The old man next to the blacksmith said slowly, his eyes deep, as if recalling the passion and dreams of his youth.

At this moment, Su Zhe and his group had just experienced a fierce battle with the forces of darkness. Although they were physically tired, their spirits were extremely excited.

"We did it, the darkness was repelled." Avril was still panting, but her face was filled with joy that was hard to conceal.

"But this victory is just the beginning." Lin Mufeng's eyes passed through the cracks in the Giant's Gate, and he seemed to have seen more challenges in the future. "Captain, that voice said that peace needs us to protect it. What does this mean?"

Su Zhe looked into the distance, where the sun was about to rise, and the golden light gradually filled the sky. "It means that we need to bring peace back to the world and let more people know that darkness is not invincible and light always exists."

"But how can we make more people believe it? The power of darkness is so strong that they will inevitably have doubts." Leah frowned and raised a practical question.

"Then let us be living proof." Su Zhe said firmly, "We will spread the story of our journey and let everyone know that as long as we hold hope and work together, light will eventually dispel darkness."

As they were talking, a gust of wind blew, carrying a light feather, which gently landed on Su Zhe's palm. A faint light flashed on the feather, as if it was some kind of mysterious guidance.

"This is..." Su Zhe looked at his companions in confusion and found that they had all received the same feathers.

"Captain, I think this is a gift given to us by the Sealed Land. Perhaps it's a token for us to take back to the human world." Avril said softly, with wisdom in her eyes.

"Yes, this feather is like the seed of light. What we have to do is to spread it to every corner." Lin Mufeng held his feather, his tone full of a sense of mission.

"Then let's set off and bring this light to more people who need it." Leah's voice was full of strength and determination.

"Before that, I think we should go back to the town and tell the traveler who provided the information that his support was not in vain." Su Zhe suggested, and secretly decided in his heart that perhaps, that person was not just an ordinary traveler.

When they stepped into the town again, the tavern was still bustling, but the atmosphere was different from before. As soon as Su Zhe and his group appeared, they immediately caused a sensation.

"It's them! I heard that they really found a way to seal the darkness!" someone in the crowd shouted.

"Look, what they have in their hands are... feathers from the Land of Giants! Is this real?" another person exclaimed, causing an uproar among the people around them.

Su Zhe looked around with a smile, and finally fixed his eyes on the corner where the cloaked man often sat. However, there was no one there, only a glass of unfinished wine, which seemed to tell the story of parting.

"Although he is not here, we still want to thank him." Su Zhe picked up the glass of wine and saluted the empty seat. "Thank you, no matter who you are, your help is crucial to us."

"Captain, do you think he will come back?" Avril asked curiously.

Su Zhe put down his wine glass, a mysterious smile appeared on his lips: "Perhaps, when the world needs light again, he will appear."

Just as they were about to leave the tavern and continue their journey, a trembling voice came from the crowd: "Please... please, can I go with you? I also want to be part of spreading the light."

Everyone turned around and saw a thin young man squeezed out of the crowd, his eyes flashing with desire. He was wearing worn leather armor and holding a rusty dagger tightly in his hand. It was obvious that he had no fighting ability.

Lin Mufeng smiled slightly, walked up and patted the boy on the shoulder: "Boy, your courage is commendable, but this road is not easy."

"I know, but...but if you're not even willing to try, how do you know it won't work?" The young man straightened his back, his eyes full of determination.

Avril came over and said to the boy gently, "Everyone who is willing to contribute to the light is precious. However, this road is full of dangers. Are you sure you are ready?"

The boy nodded without hesitation, his eyes determined: "I am ready. As long as I can bring a little change to this world, even the smallest light, I am willing to give everything."

Su Zhe looked at the young man, and an inexplicable warmth surged in his heart. In this world full of uncertainty, everyone who is willing to stand up is a precious treasure. "Welcome to join, but remember, protecting yourself is also a contribution to light." (End of this chapter)
