EBE Chapter 641 The End of an Era
Chapter 641 The End of an Era
"Yes, if they can win, the era of dark rule may really be over." The old man next to him had a slight tremor in his tone, but more of it was anticipation.
While everyone was discussing, the giant dragon of the Shadow King spread its wings, covering the sky and the sun, and the air was filled with an oppressive atmosphere. But at this moment, Su Mo raised the Light Guide in his hand, and a pure and powerful light shot out from it, dispelling the darkness around and illuminating the hope in the hearts of everyone present.
"Everyone says that light and darkness cannot coexist, but I believe that no matter how deep the darkness is, there will always be light that can penetrate it." Although Su Mo's voice was light, it had the power to shock the soul. His body seemed to merge with the light and turned into a sharp sword at the forefront of the light.
The Shadow King sneered and waved the Dark Scepter. Countless shadow arrows flew out of the air and whizzed towards the messengers of light. But Su Mo and his companions had already understood each other. They were as agile as dancing, dodging every arrow and launching counterattacks at the same time. Each strike was accurate and fatal, defeating the forces of darkness one by one.
"Look, they can actually fight back under such an attack!" Passersby exclaimed. This unimaginable combat power shocked and excited them.
The battle continued to escalate, and the collision of light and darkness stimulated the most primitive power between heaven and earth. Just when the two sides were evenly matched and it was difficult to determine the winner, an unprecedented energy wave erupted from the team of the messenger of light. It was the awakening of the hidden power in Su Mo's body.
"Teacher of Light... I finally understand your teachings." Su Mo's voice resounded through the sky, and his whole body was bathed in a dazzling light. The light seemed to be able to purify all evil, and the shadow of the dragon was gradually dissipating.
"This...what kind of power is this!" The Shadow King's pupils suddenly shrank, and he felt an unprecedented threat.
"It's the resonance of light, it's the common belief of everyone who holds light in their hearts!" Li Zixue answered loudly. Her sword light became brighter under the shining light of Su Mo, and every slash was accompanied by a roar of justice.
"We...we will protect the light together!" Zhao Ming and everyone in the team were inspired by this power. Their attacks became more swift and effective, and the dark forces were defeated by the light.
Just when light was about to completely overwhelm darkness, the cracks in the sky suddenly widened, and an unknown force intervened, bringing the battle to an abrupt end. The Shadow King took the opportunity to retreat, leaving behind a message: "This game has just begun, messengers of light, our duel is far from over."
The light gradually faded, and Su Mo and his team landed steadily. They were surrounded by shocked passers-by and villagers. In addition to awe, there was an unprecedented hope in their eyes.
"They...they really did it!" A young man was so excited that he almost cried.
"Yes, the light never leaves, and it always blooms in the darkest moments." Su Mo said to everyone with a smile, his eyes looking into the distance, where there was a wider world waiting for them to explore.
As night fell again, the messengers of light sat around the campfire, exchanging their experiences and insights from the battle. In the distant sky, a star was particularly bright, as if heralding the arrival of a new journey.
"Su Mo, the power you just displayed... is incredible." Li Zixue stared at the campfire, her eyes flashing with curiosity and excitement. "Is that the resonance of light? I felt like the whole world was breathing with us at that moment."
Su Mo smiled, warmly and implicitly, "Yes, resonance is not just the superposition of power, but also the intersection of hearts. When our hearts are closely connected, that light transcends the individual and becomes the bond connecting all messengers of light."
"Then what should we do now? The Shadow King has escaped, and he will definitely attack again." Zhao Ming frowned and looked at the night sky worriedly.
"He's right. This game has just begun." Su Mo's eyes were firm. "But haven't we also found new power? Now, we need to find more people with bright hearts to strengthen our strength and prepare for the upcoming decisive battle."
Passersby gathered around the bonfire, their eyes full of awe and longing, whispering.
"It turns out that there really is such a powerful force of light in the world." A young farmer said with emotion.
"Yes, I only heard stories from the old people before, but now I see it with my own eyes. It's really shocking." The girl next to her echoed.
At this time, an old wise man slowly stood up and saluted the messengers of light solemnly. "Warriors, although your journey is difficult, please remember that there are still many people among the people who have light in their hearts but have nowhere to release it. Guiding them and uniting them will be an important force to defeat darkness."
Su Mo and the others smiled at each other after hearing this, and they became more determined to move forward. They knew that true victory was not only based on force, but also on the cohesion of people's hearts.
As the night deepened, the camp returned to silence, with only the crackling of the campfire and the occasional howling of wild animals in the distance. Su Mo looked up at the starry sky, a shooting star streaked across the sky, and he silently made a wish.
"Where are we going next?" Zhao Ming asked, breaking the silence around them.
Su Mo retracted his gaze, a mysterious smile appeared on his face, "Let's go find the lost holy artifacts of light. It is said that they are scattered all over the continent. By combining the power of the holy artifacts, we will have stronger capital to challenge the King of Shadows."
"Sacred artifact?" Li Zixue's eyes flashed with light, "That is a legendary treasure, can you find it?"
"As long as we believe in light and believe in ourselves, nothing is impossible." Su Mo said firmly, "Moreover, according to ancient records, each holy weapon will choose its own master. Maybe they are waiting for us."
As the three were discussing, a burst of hurried footsteps interrupted their conversation. A little boy came running over breathlessly, holding a letter tightly in his hand, looking nervous and excited.
"Light...messengers of light, someone has a letter for you!" The boy handed the letter to Su Mo with an expectant look on his face.
Su Mo opened the envelope, and lines of handwriting came into his eyes. His expression gradually became solemn.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Li Zixue and Zhao Ming came forward and asked with concern.
Su Mo raised his head, his eyes flashing with complex light, "It was the guidance of the Mentor of Light. He told us that the first holy artifact is hidden deep in the forgotten Shadow Forest. It is full of dangers, but it is also the starting point of our journey."
"Shadow Forest?" Zhao Ming frowned. "It's a notoriously dangerous place."
"Yes, but this is the beginning of the trial." Su Mo stood up and looked at the expectant faces around the camp. "We are shouldering a bright mission. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we must not retreat."
As the night wind blows, the messengers of light under the starlight seem to be given new life. Their eyes become more determined, and their hearts are filled with longing and determination for the future.
"Then, let's get ready to go, friends." Su Mo's words were full of encouragement, "Let us use our actions to tell the world that light will never be absent, whether in the deepest darkness or in the heart of everyone who hopes for light."
In the afterglow of the bonfire, the messengers of light packed their bags and bid farewell to the villagers. From the crowd came waves of blessings and cheers, which became the most solid backing for them on their journey.
"You must come back safely, messengers of light!" The young farmer's voice was trembling, his eyes full of admiration and reluctance for the heroes.
"We will, for the sake of light, and for all those who trust us." Li Zixue responded gently and patted the farmer's shoulder lightly. That gentleness was like the warm spring sun, which made people feel at ease.
As the team gradually moved away from the campfire and walked into the vast night, the surrounding forests seemed particularly deep. Under the moonlight, Zhao Ming turned his head and looked back. The villagers were waving torches in their hands, and the weak light gathered into an ocean until it finally turned into a point in the distance.
"Look, even in the darkest night, the seeds of light will sprout." Su Mo said softly, with indescribable emotion in his tone.
"Yes, this is probably the meaning of our fight." Li Zixue sighed, with an undying light of faith flashing in her eyes.
The three walked more steadily along the winding path. On the way, they encountered a group of merchants who were cautiously moving along the edge of the jungle.
"Where are you going?" An old man in the caravan asked curiously when he saw Su Mo and his friends fully armed.
"Shadow Forest." Su Mo answered briefly, but his eyes did not leave the unknown road ahead.
“Shadow Forest? Young man, don’t joke with your life. It’s not a good place.” The old man shook his head, and the wrinkles on his face told of his vicissitudes of life.
"We have a mission that must be accomplished." Zhao Ming answered with his chest puffed out, his voice revealing unquestionable determination.
The people in the caravan cast their gazes in surprise or admiration. One of the young merchants murmured, "If even the messenger of light dares to step into that forbidden land, perhaps a miracle will really happen."
These words drifted away with the mountain wind, but they also gave Su Mo and the other two more motivation. They knew that this journey was not only to find the holy weapon, but also a journey to show the power of light to the world.
Finally, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the thick tree canopy and sprinkled on the entrance of the ancient forest, they arrived at the edge of the Shadow Forest. Here, even the air seemed to solidify, oppressive and dull.
"Are you ready?" Su Mo turned around and looked at his partner, as if he was talking to himself.
"I've been prepared for a long time. For the sake of light, I will go through fire and water." Zhao Ming gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.
Li Zixue smiled slightly, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and silently prayed. A faint light surrounded her body, as if she was communicating silently with nature. "Spirit of nature, please guide us forward."
Just as they were about to step into the forest, a melodious song suddenly sounded in the woods, like the sound of nature, but with a bit of mystery and temptation. The three of them stopped involuntarily and exchanged surprised looks with each other.
"What's that sound?" Zhao Ming asked in a low voice, his hand unconsciously pressing on the hilt of the sword.
Su Mo shook his head. "I don't know, but no matter what it is, we must remain vigilant. The Shadow Forest will never let anyone go deep into its heartland easily."
The singing voice gradually got closer, and finally transformed into a woman in green gauze not far from them. Her eyes were like emeralds, glowing with a brilliance that did not belong to this world.
"Welcome to the Shadow Forest, messengers of light. I am the protector here, the Singer of the Forest." Her voice was as clear as a stream, and carried a majesty that could not be ignored.
"Guardian?" Li Zixue was puzzled but polite. "We are here to find the lost Holy Relic of Light. I hope you can help us."
The singer in the forest smiled slightly. "Holy weapon? It is indeed the power of light. But in this forest, everything has a price. If you want to be recognized by the holy weapon, you must pass my test."
"Test?" Zhao Ming frowned, obviously not satisfied with this sudden change.
Su Mo took a step forward and looked at the singer in the forest firmly, "We are willing to accept the test. For the sake of light, we are fearless."
The singer tapped his chin, seeming to be quite satisfied with Su Mo's answer. "Very good, then please follow my song, go through the heart of the Shadow Forest, and find the forgotten source of light. Remember, only those with pure hearts and firm wills can touch the long-lost glory."
As her song begins again, the forest scene begins to change, with light and shadows interweaving to form stunning images.
"This...what is going on?" Zhao Ming exclaimed in amazement. The scenes around him made him feel surprised and uneasy.
Li Zixue reached out and touched the light and shadow flowing in the air, with a dreamlike expression on her face, "It's so beautiful, it's like walking into another world."
"Behind beauty often lies unknown danger." The singer in the forest warned, with a look of both kindness and testing severity in her eyes. "Follow my melody, let your heart guide your direction, and don't get lost."
The three followed the singing of the forest singer and went deep into the forest. Every step they took was a strange and unknown territory. Along the way, they encountered various fantastic creatures, some beautiful and some ferocious. Whenever danger approached, the singing of the forest singer was like a shield, guiding them through safely.
"Look over there!" Li Zixue pointed to a huge glowing tree in the distance. Many strange little animals gathered under the tree, and they seemed to be holding some kind of ceremony.
"This is the Fountain of Light, the core of the forest." The singer's voice floated from the front, with a hint of holiness, "Here, light and darkness are intertwined. It is the best place to test the purity of your heart."
As the three approached the Fountain of Light, it suddenly became dark and an invisible pressure enveloped them. In the shadows, a deep voice sounded: "Light Messenger, your journey will be in vain." (End of this chapter)
