The boy almost jumped up with excitement and nodded gratefully. Some people in the crowd cast envious glances at him, some whispered, but most were moved by the passion and determination of this group of young people, with admiration in their eyes.

Just as they were about to leave the town and embark on a new journey, an old voice sounded behind them: "Wait, young man, take this."

They turned around and saw the old man, the elder next to the blacksmith, holding an ancient book in his hand. The cover was engraved with complex light symbols, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

“This is a book that records the ancient light magic and wisdom. It is a treasure passed down from generation to generation in our family. I am old, and it is time to let it follow the right person to create a new history that belongs to you.” Tears flashed in the old man’s eyes, as if he was entrusting his dreams and hopes to them.

Su Zhe took the book solemnly and bowed deeply: "We will cherish it. Your belief in light will illuminate the road ahead with us."

The old man smiled and nodded, watching their backs as they walked away, his heart filled with satisfaction and pride.

As Su Zhe and his group walked away, the town returned to its former tranquility, but the seeds of hope were planted in people's hearts because of their stories. The prophecy of the mysterious traveler echoed in everyone's heart, foreshadowing that a more grand adventure was about to begin.

"Light and darkness have been eternal themes since ancient times. But they seem to really have the ability to rewrite history." A bystander whispered to his companion, his eyes full of expectations for the future.

"Yes, I also begin to believe that miracles always happen to those who dare to pursue the light." The companion responded, following the gradually disappearing light in the distance, an unprecedented passion rising in his heart.

"Let's go, new friends, let's move towards an unknown tomorrow." Su Zhe's words were like the first rays of dawn, awakening the courage in everyone's heart. The team set off again, and the young man followed closely behind. Although his steps were a little awkward, his eyes were full of yearning for the unknown world.

On the way, they met all kinds of passers-by, and everyone couldn't help showing expressions of surprise or envy when they saw this team.

"Look, is that Su Zhe and his Team of Light? I heard that they really brought back the symbol of light!" A farmer who was going to the market stopped and exclaimed to the people around him.

"What a group of heroes. To be able to return from a place like that, they must have extraordinary abilities." The woman at the side echoed, with admiration in her eyes.

When passing through a small town, a group of children gathered around them, their eyes full of curiosity and admiration. "Big brothers and big sisters, are you really the warriors who defeated the giant?" A little girl with pigtails asked, looking up.

Su Zhe smiled and squatted down, his eyes gentle: "Each of us has a ray of light in our hearts. As long as we are brave enough to show it, nothing is impossible. You are the same, you can become a great person in the future."

The children were fascinated by the story and made a wish to become warriors who protect the light when they grow up. When Su Zhe and others left, they heard the innocent oaths from behind. They smiled at each other, as if they saw the outline of a bright future.

During the journey, they encountered several waves of remnants who attempted to use the power of darkness to cause chaos. Every battle was intense, but every time, Su Zhe and his companions were able to defeat them one by one with their wisdom and teamwork. After each battle, the surrounding villagers or travelers would be amazed, and their stories quickly spread and became legends passed down by word of mouth among the people.

"It turns out that light can really be passed on. Look at them, they are like a walking light." After witnessing one of their battles, a young couple snuggled up to each other, their eyes full of longing.

"Yes, I always felt that darkness was too powerful, but now, I am willing to believe that as long as we unite, there will be hope for light." The boy held the girl's hand tightly, with flames in his eyes.

Finally, the group returned to the royal city with the feathers and ancient books. Their return caused a huge sensation. In the palace of the royal city, the king personally met with them, with both admiration and worry in his eyes. "What you have done is a feat that many people dare not even think about, but the real test may have just begun."

Su Zhe knelt on one knee, the feather and ancient book in his hand looked particularly dazzling in the sun. "Your Majesty, we are willing to take on this responsibility, sow the seeds of light to every inch of land, so that everyone can have light in their hearts."

The king looked at them deeply, his eyes flashing with complex emotions. "Very good, I will provide you with all the support you need. But remember, true light comes not only from strength, but also from the awakening of people's hearts."

After the meeting, Su Zhe and the other three stopped in the palace corridor. The setting sun stretched their shadows very long.

"We did it, but there is still a long way to go." Lin Mufeng said softly, his eyes firm.

"That's right. Now, we have more partners and more power." Leah smiled and looked at the distant sky, where the clouds were rolling, which seemed to indicate that new challenges were coming.

"We are never alone on the road to light." Avril held the feather in her hand, with a warm light flashing in her eyes.

Su Zhe looked at the new boy and patted him on the shoulder: "Are you ready for your adventure?"

The boy nodded vigorously, his eyes burning with determination and desire: "I'm ready. For the sake of light, I will do my best."

Just as they were about to embark on a new journey, a breeze blew by, and the familiar voice of the mysterious traveler seemed to ring in their ears again: "Remember, true victory does not lie in how much darkness you conquer, but in how many hearts you restore to light."

"Who said that?" The young man looked around, his face full of confusion and curiosity.

Su Zhe looked up at the horizon, with a faint smile on his face: "A wise man, maybe one day you will meet him. Now, we have a more important task."

"Captain, where should we go next?" Avril put away her joking thoughts and asked seriously.

"According to the clues in the ancient book, we need to go to the forgotten Temple of Light. It is said that the key to start the ancient ritual of light is hidden there." Su Zhe opened the ancient book and his fingertips gently slid across the obscure runes. "This is not just a task to find items, but also a test for us."

"The temple? It sounds exciting and dangerous." Lin Mufeng raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashing with eagerness.

"No matter what, I will stay with you all." The new boy said firmly, and gripped the rusty dagger in his hand tightly, as if it had turned into a blade of light at this moment.

Their conversation attracted the attention of passers-by. An old man passing by stopped and his wrinkled face seemed to be engraved with the story of the years: "Young man, the Temple of Light is not a place that can be easily reached. Are you sure you want to do this?"

Su Zhe stood up and answered with a calmness that was beyond his age: "Old sir, it is precisely because it is difficult to reach that we must move forward. The reason why light is precious is that it always shines in the darkest places."

The old man's eyes softened and he nodded slightly, as if he saw the dreams and passions of these young people: "Okay, then I wish you a safe journey, and may the light guide your way."

As they set out again, more and more people in the towns and villages along the way learned about the story of this "Team of Light", and they were hotly discussed in hotels, markets, and streets. "Can they really find the legendary temple?" A traveler whispered to his friend in a teahouse, holding a cup of steaming tea.

"Who knows, but this courage is enough to be admired." The friend took a sip of tea, a hint of envy in his eyes.

Just as they were discussing, a carrier pigeon suddenly landed on the window sill with a secret letter tied to its leg. The messenger opened the letter and read aloud: "Extra! Extra! The Light Team successfully rescued the border town besieged by the dark forces. The people cheered and called them the 'lighthouse in the night'!"

The teahouse instantly became lively, the passengers' conversation became even more animated, and their admiration and expectations for this team were beyond words.

At this time, Su Zhe and his companions were traveling through a dark forest, surrounded by an atmosphere of uncertainty and uneasiness. Suddenly, a huge shadow beast suddenly jumped out of the bushes, its sharp claws cutting through the air, aiming directly at the boy walking at the end!

"Be careful!" Lin Mufeng shouted and drew out his long sword and rushed forward, but surprisingly, the young man was not in a hurry. The dagger in his hand emitted a faint but firm light. With incredible agility, he dodged the attack and launched a counterattack. The originally dim dagger seemed to be activated by some force in the collision with the shadow beast, flashing a dazzling light!

"How is this possible..." Lin Mufeng was stunned, and the others were also surprised. They had never seen such a scene before.

The shadow beast roared in pain under the light, gradually retreated, and finally disappeared into thin air. The boy put away his sword, panting, with a look of surprise and surprise on his face.

"It seems that you have also found your own light." Su Zhe nodded approvingly, with a gleam of relief in his eyes.

"Yes, captain, I found that as long as there is light in my heart, I can create incredible power." The boy said excitedly, with a little more confidence in his tone.

Just as they were about to move forward, a burst of hurried horse hoofbeats came closer and closer. A messenger dressed as a knight came galloping over and shouted, "Team Light, the king is calling you urgently! The dark forces are ready to make a move. A large number of dark creatures have appeared near the royal city. Request immediate support!"

Su Zhe looked up at the sky. It was covered with dark clouds and thunder rumbled faintly, as if foreshadowing the coming of a storm. "Friends, the real test is coming. Are you ready?"

"Stand by at all times!" the four of them said in unison, and their eye contact was full of fearlessness and trust.

As they turned and ran towards the direction of the royal city, the old man's voice seemed to ring in their ears again: "Remember, darkness can never swallow up light, because there is a flame in everyone's heart, waiting to be ignited."

Su Zhe led the Light Team and quickly headed towards the Royal City. The scenery along the way gradually became desolate, and the air was filled with an ominous atmosphere. Dark clouds pressed down and thunder rolled, as if foreshadowing that a huge storm was about to come.

"Captain, we must speed up!" Lin Mufeng gripped the sword tightly and looked around vigilantly.

"Yes, time is running out." Su Zhe nodded, his eyes firm, "But we must remain calm. The cunning of the dark forces cannot be underestimated."

Avril gently patted the new boy's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we will face all challenges together."

The young man nodded vigorously and tightened the dagger in his hand. The sword in his hand seemed to no longer be a rusty iron, but a shining blade full of hope and power.

Finally, they arrived at the outskirts of the royal city. The city walls were covered with shadows of dark creatures, the city gates were closed, and the guards were fighting desperately.

"The Light Team is here!" A guard saw them and shouted in surprise.

Su Zhe quickly issued an order: "Lin Mufeng, you lead a team to guard the city gate, Avril and Liya will be responsible for clearing the dark creatures on the city wall, young man, follow me, we are going to enter the city to support the king!"

"Understood!" The team members responded in unison and quickly took action.

Lin Mufeng brandished a long sword and led the soldiers to fight against the dark creatures, while Avril and Liya used their magic and archery to accurately kill the enemies on the city wall.

Su Zhe and the young man quickly passed through the chaotic battlefield and entered the royal city. They ran all the way, their ears filled with the sounds of battle and people's shouts, and the atmosphere was tense and depressing.

"Where is the king?" Su Zhe asked a guard.

"Inside the palace, he is commanding the defense!" the guard replied, panting.

"Let's go!" Su Zhe took the young man straight to the palace.

Inside the palace, the king was standing in front of a huge map with a frown on his face, and the generals around him also had serious expressions.

"Your Majesty, the Light Team is here!" a guard reported loudly.

The king looked up and saw Su Zhe and the young man. A glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes: "Su Zhe, you came at the right time!"

"Your Majesty, please give the order and we will provide your full support." Su Zhe said firmly.

"Okay!" The king nodded. "At present, the main force of the dark forces is gathering outside the city. We need an elite team to go deep behind enemy lines and destroy their command center. Otherwise, our defense line will be breached sooner or later."

"Leave it to us." Su Zhe answered without hesitation.

The king showed a relieved smile: "I believe in you. May the light be with you."

Su Zhe led the young man out of the palace and quickly gathered the team members: "We have a new mission, we need to go deep behind enemy lines and destroy the command center of the dark forces." (End of this chapter)
