The contestant is too old, sister Zhou is crazy

Chapter 708 Hero

Su Mo gently pulled over the girl who wanted to be a hero in the town and asked her to stand in front of everyone: "As I said before, everyone can be the hero in their own story. She, and each of you, are part of the story."

The girl's face flushed with excitement, and her eyes sparkled with an unprecedented light: "I will work hard to become someone like you."

Ivan looked into the distance, the last trace of darkness in the sky was dispelled by the light, and a new morning was about to come. "Now, let us rest for a while and prepare ourselves. Tomorrow, we will continue to move forward, explore the unknown, and protect the light."

The crowd was excited again, but this time it was different. In addition to admiration, their eyes were filled with self-affirmation and determination to participate. The stories of the light walkers inspired everyone's inner potential and made them believe that everyone could become the light that penetrates the darkness.

"So, Lord Alvin, where is the next stop?" a young man asked expectantly.

Ivan smiled, his eyes deep: "The next stop is an unknown place in everyone's heart. But remember, as long as there is light in your heart, there is no place you cannot reach."

In an atmosphere of expectation and hope, the journey of the Light Walkers has come to an end, but their story with everyone has just begun.

"Let's go, friends. A new dawn is waiting for us." Ivan whispered to his companions. They smiled at each other and embarked on a new journey. Behind them were countless expectant eyes and ignited hearts.

“We will definitely see you again, light walkers!” The shouts from the crowd gradually merged into a hymn of hope as they walked away.

"Do you think they will find that unknown place?" The young man and the old woman watched the Light Walker leave, their conversation revealing reluctance and expectation.

"Yes, they will always find the direction of the light." The old woman smiled, her eyes kind and firm, "Because in this world, the most powerful magic is belief."

Outside the city, deep in the forest, in a hidden ancient ruin, a low voice echoed: "Light Walker... Interesting. The games in this world seem to be getting more and more interesting." A mysterious man in a robe walked out of the shadows. He wore a silver mask on his face, covering all expressions, leaving only a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle, flashing with a playful light.

"Sir, should we take action?" A hoarse voice sounded from the corner, and a creature wrapped in black mist walked out of the shadows.

“No hurry,” the masked man shook his head slowly, “Let the light illuminate their path first. When darkness falls again, it will be our time to truly appear. Go, observe them, learn from them, and understand their weaknesses.”

"Yes, as you command." The black mist creature turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared into the air, leaving only a sneer echoing in the empty ruins.

As time goes by, the footprints of the Light Walkers spread all over the continent. Their stories inspire everyone who hears them, and also attract those lonely souls wandering in the darkness. A traveler who was once lost in the darkness now stands in front of the Light Walker camp, his eyes full of desire for a new life.

"Excuse me...can I join you?" The traveler's voice trembled slightly, his hands were clenched, and there was both anxiety and determination in his eyes.

Su Mo stepped forward and gave him a warm smile: "Welcome, friend. Here, everyone who is willing to fight for light can find a home."

Just as the Light Walkers were preparing to welcome new members, a secret letter quietly arrived. Ivan opened the envelope and found only one sentence in it, written in an ancient and mysterious handwriting: "The ancient prophecy is about to come true, the seal of darkness is loosening, and the real trial has just begun..."

"It seems that our journey is more eventful than expected." Leo frowned, but a gleam of eagerness flashed in his eyes.

"No matter what awaits us ahead, we are no longer alone." Zhou Huayi held his brothers' hands tightly, his tone firm, his eyes filled with unquestionable trust.

At this moment, in the distant other side of the sky, an imperceptible black cloud was quietly gathering, as if it was some kind of omen, indicating that a new storm was about to come.

"Let's go, friends." Ivan looked into the distance, his eyes flashing with anticipation for the unknown and a desire for challenges. "No matter how many unknowns and dangers there are in the future, as long as we have light in our hearts, nothing can stop us from moving forward."

Their figures gradually move away, and behind them are countless expectant and encouraging eyes, as well as the belief that the light will never be extinguished.

"Yes, Captain." The team members responded in unison, with fearlessness and determination in their voices, as if no difficulties could defeat them.

With the addition of new members, the camp was filled with a new vitality, and everyone was busy preparing for the upcoming challenges. The once lost traveler, now called Klein, was checking his equipment with Su Mo, and brisk laughter came from time to time between the two, as if Klein had already become a member of this big family.

"I really can't believe that I actually have the opportunity to fight alongside the legendary Light Walker." Klein's eyes flashed with excitement and awe that were difficult to conceal.

Su Mo patted Klein on the shoulder and said with a smile: "We are all ordinary people, Klein, we just chose to believe in the path of light. You will also become the hero you want to be."

At the same time, Zhou Huabing was training new soldiers not far away. A gentle light was flowing on his shield, and every swing seemed to be an oath of loyalty to the light. "Remember, our shield is not only for defense, but also for protecting the light behind us." His words inspired everyone and boosted their morale.

In a corner of the camp, Ivan and Leo were studying the mysterious letter, trying to decipher more clues from it. "Ancient prophecy, dark seal... all this sounds complicated." Leo frowned.

Ivan pondered for a moment and replied: "No matter where the prophecy points to, we just need to be prepared and meet every challenge. Perhaps this is the meaning of our existence - to be a bridge between light and darkness."

While everyone was busy, a messenger rushed into the camp, holding an urgent letter in his hand. "Urgent information, unknown forces are gathering at the border. It is said that they are followers of the ancient evil god, trying to unlock a taboo seal!"

The atmosphere in the camp instantly became tense. Everyone understood that this was not only a test of their abilities, but also a matter of safety for the entire continent. "It seems that darkness is not going to give us a chance to breathe." Zhou Huayi's face was solemn, and his words were firm and firm.

"Then let us take the initiative and not let the darkness have any chance to take advantage." Leo's words were like a war drum, stirring up the fighting spirit in everyone.

As night fell, the light walkers were ready to go. Their figures looked particularly majestic in the light of the campfire. Ivan stood up and looked around at the brave warriors, with infinite emotion in his heart. "We fight for light, and for the light in everyone's heart. No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, our light will never go out."

Just as the team was about to set off, the little boy who had been in the city center suddenly appeared, holding a small lantern in his hand, with admiration and determination in his eyes. "Please take it, I want you to know that even the smallest light can illuminate a journey."

Ivan took the lantern, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes. "Thank you, kid. Your light is our greatest motivation." After saying that, he hung the lantern around his waist, and the inconspicuous light shone tenaciously in the night.

"Then let's go, friends." As soon as Ivan finished speaking, the group broke through the darkness like the first ray of sunshine at dawn and embarked on a new journey.

The little boy who stayed in the camp looked at them going away with his eyes full of admiration and determination. "In the future, I will also become a light walker and bring more light to the world."

The wind outside the town was fresh with the morning dew, blowing past the figures of the light walkers who were moving forward resolutely. Every step they took was in the rhythm of hope, as if they were announcing to the world that light would never be silent. Klein followed closely behind, turning his head from time to time to look at the gradually shrinking camp. He felt nervous about the unknown, but more of a yearning for a new life.

"Look over there, even the wind seems to be guiding the way for the walkers of light!" A passing farmer said to his wife, his words full of surprise and envy.

"Yes, I really hope to see them fighting heroically and protecting our homes with my own eyes." There was a glimmer of hope in the peasant woman's eyes.

Along the way, every step of the light walkers attracted the admiration and discussion of passers-by. Their deeds spread like the wind, inspiring more people to bravely stand up and face the darkness and challenges in life.

“Have you heard? The goal of the Light Walkers this time is to stop the conspiracy of the believers of the ancient evil god. This is not something that ordinary people can do.” In the tavern, a traveler talked incessantly to the audience, and the audience around him all had solemn expressions, mixed with a bit of awe.

"They will definitely succeed. Even children know the legend of Lord Alvin and his team!" a child interrupted, his eyes full of admiration.

Night fell again. The Light Walkers camped in a hidden valley, sitting around a campfire. Everyone's face was full of fatigue, but their eyes were still determined. Ivan unfolded the map and traced the possible routes with his fingertips. Each one was full of unknowns and dangers.

"We must not only be fast, but also accurate." Leo's voice was deep and powerful. "Those believers move quickly. We must get ahead of them."

"But we cannot ignore the safety of ordinary people." Zhou Huayi reminded, "Our fight cannot allow innocent people to be implicated."

"I have an idea." Klein suddenly spoke, and everyone's eyes were on him. This was his first time speaking at a strategy meeting. "We can leave marks at the villages along the way. This way, if there is danger, the villagers can evacuate to a safe place based on the marks."

Su Mo nodded, with appreciation in his eyes: "This is a good idea, Klein. Light is not only against darkness, but also a protection for every life."

The next morning, at Klein's suggestion, the group left special marks along the way, which served as both a guide and a symbol of protection. Every passerby who saw these marks would inevitably stop and whisper, their eyes full of respect and reassurance.

"The Light Walkers are so attentive. Such heroes deserve respect from all of us." An old man stroked his beard, feeling deeply moved.

Time was running out, and the pace of the Light Walkers became more and more rapid. When they finally approached the hiding place of the evil god's followers, a gloomy atmosphere came over them, as if foreshadowing the upcoming difficult challenge.

"Are you ready, brothers?" Ivan asked in a low voice. His eyes swept over each team member in turn and saw a firm response.

"For light, for peace on this continent." They spoke in unison. Although their voices were soft, they echoed in the valley, shaking every inch of land, and even seemed to shake the evil hearts lurking in the dark.

Just as they were about to step into the territory of the evil god's followers, Ivan's communication symbol suddenly flashed, and a brief message came: "The real threat comes from within. Be careful, friends of light."

The information was like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone, and then they looked around vigilantly. At such a critical moment, the existence of the traitor was undoubtedly a time bomb, testing the wisdom and unity of the Light Walkers.

"No matter who it is, our faith will not change." Ivan's eyes were as sharp as torches, and he said in a deep voice, "The light will eventually illuminate all the haze, and we are that sharp sword."

After the words were spoken, the Light Walkers set out on their journey again, each step more resolute, because they knew that no matter whether they were facing enemies or the unknown, as long as there was light in their hearts, darkness would eventually be exposed.

“Captain, no matter what the outcome is, I am proud to fight alongside you.” Klein whispered, with a determined light in his eyes.

"Same for us, Klein." Su Mo responded with a smile. Their backs were stretched out in the sunset, as if announcing to the world - Light Walkers, never give up.

"There's movement ahead, everyone be careful." Leo whispered, his fingers gently resting on the hilt of his sword, and the atmosphere in the team instantly became tense. The faint light through the woods reflected on their weapons, revealing their resolute faces.

Just as they were about to quietly approach the suspicious area, a noisy conversation could be heard faintly, mixed with fear and urgency.

"Hurry, take it to the ceremony site. The Dark Lord is about to awaken, we must speed up!" a hoarse and authoritative voice ordered.

"But if the Light Walkers discover our plan..." Another voice sounded a little uneasy. (End of this chapter)
