The contestant is too old, sister Zhou is crazy

Chapter 882 Darkness and Light

The old man sighed, his eyes gradually softened: "I lost, I lost to my own despair. I hope... I hope the light can really illuminate every corner as you said."

Accompanied by the Team of Light, the old man finally gave up his summons and chose the path of atonement, using his knowledge to help them find a way to seal Chaos.

The team continued to move forward, and wherever they went, more people were inspired by them, either joining directly or planting the seeds of light in their hearts. The conversations of those passers-by gradually changed from initial surprise and suspicion to admiration and support.

"I've never seen such a team. They are not only strong, but also have a power that makes people feel at ease." A traveler shared what he saw and heard in the hotel.

"Yes, especially the kid named Xiaohui. He made me believe that no matter how dark the world is, there will always be someone who can bring light." The audience next to him nodded in agreement.

As the journey of the Light Team progresses, a greater challenge quietly approaches. In an emergency meeting, Alan frowned: "According to the clues of the old man, the source of chaos is much more powerful than we thought. We need more power."

Su Mei'er patted his shoulder gently: "Don't forget, we are no longer fighting alone. Everyone who believes in light is our strong backing."

As night fell, Alan and Su Meier sat by the campfire, looking back at the road they had traveled, feeling both excited and worried. The firelight shone on their young and determined faces, making them look particularly dazzling.

"Alan, do you think we can really succeed?" Su Mei'er asked in a low voice, with more trust than doubt in her tone.

"As long as we hold on to our beliefs and let the light illuminate every corner, nothing is impossible." Alan replied, his eyes piercing through the night, as if he saw the future woven together by countless hearts of light.

Just then, a breeze blew, and the flames danced, as if whispering. A voice came with the wind, gentle but powerful: "Keep going, son of light. Under the guidance of hope, even the deepest darkness will usher in dawn."

The night was as dark as ink, dotted with stars. Alan and Su Meier sat by the campfire in silence for a moment, their eyes filled with an unspeakable firmness and determination. It was so quiet that only the occasional sound of wind blowing through the woods could be heard, but this calm seemed to contain a bigger storm.

"Do you think we can really stop the power of chaos?" Su Mei'er suddenly asked, looking up at the starry sky with a somewhat erratic look in her eyes. Although she was full of faith, facing such a powerful enemy, anyone would have doubts.

"As long as you don't give up hope, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome." Allen responded firmly, and then continued, "Do you remember what Xiaohui said? Even if you have lost your way, as long as you are willing to look for the light, you will be able to find the right path one day. The old man is the best example."

"Well... indeed, every time we encounter a crisis, there are unexpected people helping us." Su Mei'er nodded in agreement. A warm light flashed in her eyes, as if she had found the answer from these countless ordinary yet extraordinary stories.

At this time, a slight sound of footsteps came from not far away, breaking the silence of the night. The two looked towards the source of the sound alertly at the same time, only to find that the people coming were the new members of the team - the gentle woman Melina who claimed to provide logistical support and the energetic young blacksmith Aser.

"Why haven't you rested yet?" Melina walked up to them and asked softly. She was holding a small bag with some dry food in it. "If we want to discuss the next strategic plan, we might as well wait until tomorrow when we are full of energy to make a decision. Let's rest and recuperate tonight."

"Thank you, Sister Melina." Su Meier took the food and said gratefully, and handed it to Alan who was thinking about something next to him. "You are right, we should all have a good rest."

Aser walked to the side and began to stir the bonfire with a stick, making the flames more vigorous. He turned to face the crowd and said with an extremely serious expression: "I have an idea. Although I am just an ordinary craftsman, what if I can make more powerful and specially customized weapons? Perhaps it will be of great help in fighting against the difficult battles in the future."

This sentence instantly lit up everyone's eyes, including the two ladies who were about to say goodbye and leave.

"That's right!" Aser excitedly stated his plan, "Since everyone is unique, we can forge the most suitable weapons for each person based on their own characteristics. This will not only enable them to exert stronger combat effectiveness on the battlefield, but also greatly increase morale!"

Melina nodded slightly in agreement, and then put forward her own opinion: "Then the treatment materials should also be improved according to this concept, to reduce everyone's pain during the battle as much as possible, and quickly restore physical strength to cope with more challenges."

Just like that, on this seemingly ordinary night, the core members of the Light Team quickly reached a consensus after a brief exchange and were full of expectations for the future.

Just as everyone was immersed in this vision, a bright but not dazzling light suddenly appeared in the distance, as if a gentle force was slowly approaching them. Several people stood up at the same time, surprised and more confused: What exactly does this sudden light mean?

The light source gradually grew larger until a figure appeared in everyone's sight - a mysterious figure wearing a white robe and a halo on his head. "Don't be afraid, children. I am the messenger of light, and I bring a vital message about the future." As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped abruptly, casting a thicker fog over the whole scene.

"Wait, what do you mean?" Allen wanted to ask, but before he could finish his words, the other party had turned into a stream of light and disappeared, leaving only silence and the last sentence echoing in the air: "Trust each other, unite all those who can be united, and the darkness will eventually be completely dispelled."

Faced with the sudden and inexplicable situation, everyone fell into deep thought. Especially when they remembered the advice that the old soldier left them before he left, they felt more and more the heavy responsibility on their shoulders.

Finally, it was Xiaohui's voice that resounded through the night sky again and broke the heaviness. "No matter what, I believe that the brothers and sisters can do it! Because we represent justice and courage!" His words were simple but sincere, and immediately won the recognition and encouragement of everyone.

The next morning, with the rising sun, the Light Team set out on a new journey. What awaits them ahead is not only an unknown fate, but also a critical turning point concerning the fate of the entire world.

At the same time, in a dark corner, a pair of eyes stared at these brave souls. "It seems that the fun is about to begin."

The next morning, the Light Team set out on a new journey under the rising sun. Although they were looking forward to the future, they were also aware of the huge challenges they were about to face. Everyone in the team was silently adjusting their status and preparing to face the upcoming unknown enemy.

On the road, Allen and Su Mei'er walked in front, followed by Xiaohui and Melina, and Aser followed at the end with a heavy blacksmith's tool box on his back, walking steadily.

"We might run into some trouble today." Alan whispered, his eyes looking a little solemn.

"Don't worry, no matter what happens, we can handle it." Su Mei'er replied softly, with a firm light in her eyes, "We have each other and faith."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of hurried footsteps in front of him, accompanied by the sound of leaves being trampled. Everyone immediately stopped and became alert. Alan waved his hand, signaling everyone to come together and form a small circle.

"Here they come!" Xiao Hui shouted nervously. He saw a group of black shadows approaching rapidly in the woods ahead, at an extremely fast speed. As the distance shortened, their figures gradually became clearer - they were a group of fully armed enemies with distorted faces and green light in their eyes.

The leading enemy stopped and looked at them with a sneer: "Team Light, we finally found you! The power of chaos will make you experience despair."

Allen stepped forward and asked in a deep voice: "Where are you from? Why are you against the light?"

The leading enemy laughed loudly, his voice like a demon from hell: "We don't need a name. You just need to know that we represent chaos and darkness. As for our purpose, it's very simple. We want to completely extinguish the light of this world."

Melina frowned and whispered, "Alan, their aura is very evil, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight them directly."

Allen nodded and whispered, "It seems that we can only stabilize the situation first and find an opportunity to break through."

Su Mei'er drew the dagger from her waist and said firmly: "We will find a way, as long as we unite."

The enemy had already surrounded them, forming a semicircle. Allen clenched the sword in his hand and scanned the surroundings, looking for a breakthrough point.

Suddenly, a tall warrior from the enemy rushed towards Allen, swinging huge double axes with both hands, with a fierce attack. Allen quickly dodged, swung his long sword backhand, drew a sharp sword light, and forced the opponent back a few steps.

Su Mei'er also tangled with the enemy. She was agile, her dagger was flexible and changeable, and every attack was extremely accurate. Melina used her healing skills to help her teammates recover their physical strength, ensuring that they could fight for a long time in the battle.

Aser stood in the center of the team, wielding the heavy hammer he had forged himself, resisting the enemy's fierce attack. Each blow was so powerful that it shook the ground. He roared, "These guys are not invincible, as long as we cooperate well!"

Although each member of the Light Team has extraordinary abilities, they still feel exhausted in the face of the enemy's powerful offensive. The enemy is large in number and powerful, and every step is pressing, as if to put them in a desperate situation.

The battle lasted for a while. Although everyone resisted tenaciously, they were gradually losing the upper hand. Sweat beads appeared on Allen's forehead, and his eyes became more determined: "We must break out. We can't be trapped here!"

"I'll cover you!" Su Mei'er responded loudly. She quickly went around to the back of the team and stabbed an enemy who was about to attack with her dagger. She freed her hand to release a small fireball, which immediately started a flame and bought a short time for others.

Allen saw the opportunity, shouted loudly, rushed forward a few steps, and stabbed the enemy with his sword like lightning, clearing a passage in an instant. "Now, hurry up!"

They followed him out of the encirclement and ran deep into the forest. The enemies behind them roared in reluctance and chased after them. Allen and his companions ran all the way and finally found a hidden cave and hid in it temporarily.

After entering the cave, everyone was a little out of breath. Melina quickly checked everyone's injuries and used healing magic to stop the bleeding and bandage the injured. Xiaohui helped pass the herbs on the side, looking nervous and focused.

Allen leaned against the cave wall, gasping for breath, and looked at the others seriously: "The enemy is too strong this time, we must find a way to deal with it."

Su Mei'er sat aside, her face slightly pale: "Indeed, it is difficult to deal with it with our current strength."

Melina raised her head and said seriously: "I think we need to find more people or forces that can help us. Maybe there are other existences in this world that we can trust."

Aser nodded vigorously and agreed: "Yes, we should expand the search area and find more allies."

At this moment, a strange music suddenly sounded outside the cave, as beautiful as the sound of nature, but with a hint of mystery and temptation. Everyone held their breath and exchanged glances with each other, wondering whether it was a good omen or a dangerous signal.

Xiaohui gently pulled the corner of Allen's clothes and asked in a low voice: "Brother, what is that sound? It's so beautiful."

Alan frowned and whispered, "I don't know, but we have to be careful." Then he motioned for everyone to slowly approach the cave entrance and look out.

Outside the cave entrance stood a gorgeous woman in white clothes. She was surrounded by a faint light, giving people a warm and sacred feeling. She smiled and said to Allen and others, "Don't be afraid. I am a messenger of light from a distant star field. I brought something that can help you. Please follow me."

Alan was startled and asked cautiously, "Why should we trust you? How do you prove your identity?"

The woman in white smiled and slowly unfolded a golden badge in her hand, which was engraved with a radiant pattern. "This is my identity certificate, and it is also the key to the Heart of Light. If you believe me, then please come with me to take a look."

Looking at the shining badge, Allen relaxed his vigilance a little. "Okay, but we have to make sure this is not a trap." (End of this chapter)
