Chapter 836 Understanding
Su Mei'er also took a step forward, with a bright light in her hand: "Darkness will eventually be dispelled by light!"
The battle broke out again, this time even more intense, with every second filled with a tense feeling of life and death. The female wizard and the travelers used their magic to the utmost, while Xu Mo and the warriors fought bravely. With the combined power, the leader of the dark messenger was finally knocked down, and his figure dissipated in the blue light.
Just as the battlefield was being cleared, a bright light suddenly appeared from the depths of the cave, and an ancient book slowly emerged, recording mysterious magical knowledge.
"This may be the key to unlocking the source of pollution!" said the female mage excitedly.
Xu Mo nodded carefully: "We need to study this book and find a solution to the problem."
"But how many hidden secrets are there here?" Su Mei'er said hesitantly.
"No matter how much, we will uncover it step by step." Xu Mo held her hand firmly.
"Lord Xu Mo, what should we do next?" asked a soldier.
"We need to return to the village and tell everyone about our findings here, while continuing to track the dark messenger." Xu Mo replied.
"Yes, we can't let our guard down." Su Mei'er added.
A villager whispered, "Are there more dangers waiting for us?"
"Maybe, but we won't retreat because the light never stops." Xu Mo responded with a smile.
"Then let's move on." Su Mei'er said firmly.
Everyone responded in unison, and voices filled with expectation and confidence echoed in the cave.
On the long journey back, the team kept encouraging each other, and everyone was full of fighting spirit. Xu Mo, Su Mei'er and others finally set out on the road back to the village.
After rushing back to the village, the villagers came forward one after another, looking nervous but full of hope. The village chief hurriedly asked: "Have you found a solution?"
Xu Mo nodded and showed the ancient book: "This was found in the ruins. They may be helpful in solving the pollution."
The villagers gathered around them and discussed in low voices:
"I really hope there is a way to save us."
"Great! Master Xu Mo really didn't let us down!"
Su Mei'er clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention: "We need time to study this book. Please wait patiently and remain vigilant to prevent the enemy from making a comeback."
The villagers nodded one after another, equally firmly expressing their willingness to work together for the future of the village.
A few nights later, in the village chief's old house, Xu Mo and Su Mei'er studied the ancient book day and night. They found that the magic records in the book were indeed very powerful, but interpreting and applying this knowledge required more time and energy.
At this moment, a hurried knock on the door broke the silence of the night. Xu Mo opened the door and saw a villager standing at the door, panting.
"Master Xu Mo, something bad has happened. I just received news that a nearby village has also suffered the same attack. The water source has been polluted and they are in urgent need of help!"
Xu Mo looked at Su Mei'er solemnly: "It seems that the enemy is not satisfied with attacking only one village. We must take action."
"Yes, we can't delay any longer." Su Mei'er said firmly, "Xu Mo, let's split up. I'll stay here and continue studying the book, and you lead the team to provide assistance to that village."
When they arrived at the neighboring village, the scene in front of them shocked everyone. The area around the village well was blocked, and some villagers had begun to show symptoms and urgently needed medical treatment. When the village chief saw Xu Mo and others, he seemed to have seen the last hope and hurried to meet them.
"Thank you for arriving in time, please save us!"
Xu Mo comforted: "Don't worry, we will do our best to help you."
The general organized the soldiers to immediately set up a temporary medical tent and sent out scouts to investigate the surrounding situation. However, just as they were investigating, a commotion suddenly came from a forest not far away.
"Someone is hiding there!" a scout shouted, pointing in the direction of the woods.
Xu Mo took the lead and led several warriors into the woods. As expected, they found several followers of the Dark Messenger whispering to each other. One of them was obviously a leader. He held a dark rune in his hand and was immediately surprised when he saw Xu Mo and his group.
"How dare you follow us!" the leader roared.
Xu Mo responded coldly: "Your trick will not succeed, light will eventually defeat darkness!"
The battle broke out again, and this time the enemies were obviously more cunning and brutal. They used strange runes and magic to harass the team, but Xu Mo and his warriors remained calm and tenacious, and gradually gained the upper hand through tacit cooperation.
After a fierce battle, they successfully defeated the followers of the Dark Messenger and found more clues about the polluted water source from them. Before his death, the leader smiled strangely and whispered: "No matter how hard you struggle, you can't change the trend of the times."
"What kind of conspiracy is this?" the warrior roared angrily, but unfortunately the leader was already dead.
Xu Mo and others returned to the village with new clues and reunited with Su Mei'er. By exchanging information, they finally figured out some clues. It turned out that these dark messengers used an ancient ritual to pollute the water source through special runes, causing large-scale damage, trying to guide the expansion of dark forces in desperation.
"I have almost cracked the secret of this book. We can use the counter-magic in it to remove the pollution." Su Mei'er said happily.
"That's great!" Xu Mo exclaimed.
"However, we still need that key magical material - the Purification Stone." Su Mei'er added.
"Purification Stone? Where can we find such a rare treasure?" the warrior asked anxiously.
The general looked at the map and frowned as he said, "As far as I know, this rare stone of purification can only be found in the Holy Temple of Light, which is not far from here. But it has been in disrepair for a long time and is full of dangers."
Xu Mo pondered for a moment and said firmly: "No matter what, we must give it a try for the sake of everyone's future."
"Yes, let's go to the Temple of Light together to retrieve the Stone of Purification!" Su Mei'er clenched her fists.
Everyone responded in unison: "We are willing to follow you and face the challenge together!"
Adventures in the Temple of Light
A new journey is about to begin. This time, facing unknown dangers and huge challenges, Xu Mo and his team did not back down. They understood that only by finding the purification stone can they completely solve the pollution problem and save the threatened village.
Before embarking on the journey to the Holy Temple of Light, Su Meier said to Xu Mo: "We must unite and overcome all difficulties."
"That's right," Xu Mo held her hand and responded firmly, "Light will always usher in the dawn of victory."
The team is ready to go, and everyone is full of fighting spirit. The secret hidden in the Temple of Light will be the key to determining their fate.
Just as they were about to set off, a soldier suddenly ran over and said with a heavy breath, "Master Xu Mo, there is a stranger waiting for you ahead. He said he knows some important information about the Holy Temple of Light."
Hearing this, Xu Mo frowned and said to Su Mei'er, "It seems that we have to go and see this stranger. Maybe he can provide some valuable clues."
Everyone walked towards the entrance of the village and saw a figure standing there from a distance. He was wearing a tattered cloak, and his face was hidden under the shadow of the hood, so his expression could not be seen clearly. The villagers around him were whispering:
"Who is he? Why did he suddenly appear?" "Do you think he is a spy of the Dark Messenger?" "I don't know, but he doesn't look simple."
Xu Mo walked up to the man and asked calmly, "Who are you? Why do you say you know information about the Holy Temple of Light?"
The man raised his head, revealing a pair of sharp eyes, and said: "I am Alan, a wandering scholar. I have explored near the Temple of Light and know something about it."
Su Mei'er heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes: "Mr. Allen, do you know where the Purification Stone is?"
Alan nodded and said, "I know some clues, but the Temple of Light is now in danger and full of unknown dangers. If you really want to go there, I am willing to lead the way and assist you. But you must agree to one condition of mine."
Xu Mo's eyes were full of vigilance: "What conditions?"
Alan took a deep breath and said, "I need you to help me find my long-lost sister. She may also be trapped by the dark forces. I have been looking for her."
Xu Mo and Su Mei'er looked at each other and saw that both of them were a little hesitant, but finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, we promise you, as long as you find the Purification Stone, we will also help you find your sister."
Allen breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully: "Thank you, I believe that cooperation can achieve a win-win situation."
As a result, the team expanded with new members and set out on a journey to the Temple of Light. Along the way, Alan told everyone about the various rumors and history of the Temple of Light, and shared some of the secret books and rune knowledge he had collected, providing more methods and preparations for their adventure.
As night fell, they finally arrived at the outskirts of the Holy Temple of Light. Although this magnificent building ruins had been in disrepair for many years, it still exuded a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.
"This is the main entrance to the Temple of Light." Allen whispered, "We must be careful."
Some of the soldiers whispered uncomfortably: "This place looks like a trap. I wonder how many terrifying things are hidden inside."
"Be quiet," Xu Mo shouted sternly, "No matter what difficulties we face, we must face them."
Everyone entered the temple, and the view was suddenly clear. However, suddenly, a strong light flashed, almost making it impossible to open your eyes. Then, all kinds of strange sounds echoed in your ears, making you shudder.
"What kind of monster is this!" a soldier exclaimed.
A group of ghostly guards appeared around them, floating in the air with cold light in their eyes. Alan immediately shouted, "Be careful, these are the guardians of the Temple of Light, they won't let us pass easily."
"Everyone, get ready for battle!" Xu Mo shouted, taking the lead, the sword in his hand dancing with cold light.
The warriors formed a defensive formation, while the mages continued to cast magic in the rear, forming a powerful combination of attack and defense. Alan used his knowledge to guide them on how to effectively fight these ghost guards, while constantly explaining various ancient spells and runes.
Although the Ghost Guards were powerful, they were gradually defeated by the combined efforts of everyone. Just when victory was about to come, a Ghost Guard suddenly laughed strangely: "Foolish human, do you think you can easily obtain the Purification Stone like this? The real test is still to come!"
Before he finished speaking, his figure disappeared in an instant, and the entire temple suddenly trembled. A huge crack appeared in the ground, and a whirlpool-like abyss appeared before everyone's eyes.
Su Mei'er exclaimed: "Is this a teleportation array?!"
Xu Mo gripped the sword tightly, and said solemnly: "It seems that we have no choice but to enter this abyss."
Allen nodded and said, "The teleportation array is connected to the core area of the temple. Only by passing through it can we find the purification stone."
After a brief adjustment, everyone jumped into the abyss vortex one by one. In an instant, they felt that their whole bodies were wrapped in a twisted force, as if they had traveled through time and space. Everything in front of them became blurred, and finally, they landed in a hall full of light.
There is a crystal clear stone suspended in the center of the hall, it is the stone of purification!
However, the road to the stone was blocked by a circle of complex rune formations, and anyone who tried to get close was pushed away by the strong rebound force. Allen checked it and looked solemn: "These rune formations are extremely mysterious and require a series of puzzles to be solved."
Xu Mo said firmly: "We have no way out. For the future of everyone, we must do our best to solve these puzzles."
Just as they were about to act, another figure slowly walked out from the darkness. It was a mysterious man in a black robe. He said in a cold tone: "Want to rely on mortal wisdom to crack these rune formations? It's wishful thinking."
Xu Mo clenched the sword in his hand and looked at the man: "Who are you?"
The mysterious man sneered: "I am a high-ranking priest of the Dark Cult, responsible for guarding the Stone of Purification. All your efforts will ultimately be in vain."
Su Mei'er responded with a resolute look in her eyes: "No matter who you are, we will not give up!"
The priest sneered and waved his hand. A dark energy rushed towards everyone. Suddenly, the battle broke out again. The scene was extremely dangerous. The team members tried their best to defend and at the same time look for a way to crack the rune.
Alan shouted hurriedly: "We must work together to crack these runes, otherwise we will never be able to get close to the Purification Stone!"
"Okay, I'll cover you!" Xu Mo waved his sword to block the priest's attack, and the warriors and mages behind him quickly began to act according to Alan's instructions.
The runes were analyzed one by one, the light gradually dimmed, and the protective barrier of the Purification Stone began to loosen. The priest saw that his blockade was gradually failing, and he roared in anger: "You stupid guys, how dare you challenge the majesty of darkness!" (End of this chapter)
