Chapter 118 Encountering the Mysterious Guardian
The four explore the new world, which is full of novelties and surprises. However, as they go deeper, they gradually feel the danger and unknown of this world.
They passed through a dense forest filled with the rich fragrance of flowers, and various strange plants and magical creatures could be seen everywhere. Lin Yu's painting skills shined in this forest. He guided them forward by drawing runes, and at the same time he could drive away some dangerous creatures at critical moments.
"The creatures here are so strange." Su Yao asked curiously as she looked at the colorful butterflies jumping on the trees.
"Really?" Lin Yu stopped and observed the colorful butterflies carefully. "These colorful butterflies have unique magical marks on them. They should be the guardian creatures of this world."
"Guardian creatures?" Zhao Hao asked in surprise, "Could this forest be the guardian of this world?"
"It's very likely." Li Yueran nodded in agreement. "The magic in this world is very powerful. These guardian creatures may be responsible for protecting the forest and the balance of the world."
The four continued to move forward and soon came to an open area. In the center of the open area was a stone tablet with some ancient words engraved on it.
"What is this?" Su Yao asked, pointing at the stone tablet.
"It may be the remains of this world." Zhao Hao guessed, "We must be careful, there may be unknown dangers hidden here."
The four people approached the stone tablet carefully and read the words on it carefully. The words were obscure and difficult to understand, but they gradually understood the meaning of the stone tablet with their own wisdom.
It turned out that this stone tablet was left by the guardian of this forest. In order to protect this forest, the guardian set a test, and only those who passed the test could enter the center of the forest.
"Test?" Li Yueran frowned and asked, "What kind of test?"
"The content of the test has been engraved on the stone tablet." Lin Yu pointed at the words on the stone tablet and said, "But the specific content is too complicated for us to fully understand."
The four of them discussed it and decided to try to interpret the test content on the stone tablet. After some effort, they finally understood the rules of the test.
It turns out that the test is divided into three parts, namely:
1. **Test of Wisdom**: Participants need to answer questions raised by the guardian to test their wisdom and ability.
2. **Test of Courage**: Participants need to face difficulties set by the Guardians to test their courage and determination.
3. **Test of the Heart**: Participants need to undergo a test of the Guardian’s heart to test their character and heart.
The four decided to accept the test, believing that only by passing the test could they enter the heart of the forest and find their way home.
The test of wisdom began, and the guardian asked a question: "Why does this forest exist?"
Lin Yu answered first: "This forest exists to protect the ecological balance of this world and maintain the harmony of magical elements."
Su Yao continued, "The forest contains powerful magical energy. The guardian regards the forest as a sacred place and hopes that humans can respect and protect it."
Zhao Hao and Li Yueran also expressed their opinions respectively, and they answered the guardian's questions with their wisdom.
The guardian nodded in satisfaction and said, "Your answers are all very good. Next is a test of courage."
The test of courage began, and the guardian brought the four people to a huge maze. The maze was full of various mechanisms and traps, and they would fall into danger if they were not careful.
The four of them moved forward cautiously. They cooperated with each other and used their magical skills and wisdom to gradually pass through the maze.
"We did it!" Su Yao shouted excitedly.
"Yes, we did it!" Lin Yu said with a smile.
"Next is a test of the mind," said the guardian.
The spiritual test began, and the guardian led the four people to a mysterious room. The room was filled with a mysterious atmosphere, giving people a feeling of tranquility and peace.
The guardian sat on an ancient chair. He looked at the four people and said, "The test of the soul requires you to let go of your obsessions and accept your past and present."
The four were silent for a moment, and they began to reflect on their past and present.
Lin Yu remembered his past confusion and bewilderment, Su Yao remembered her past pain and struggle, Zhao Hao remembered his past mistakes and regrets, and Li Yueran remembered her past loneliness and confusion.
They began to let go of their obsessions and accept their past and present.
"Very good, you have passed the test." said the guardian with a smile.
"Thank you, Guardian." The four said gratefully.
"You can enter the heart of the forest now," said the guardian.
The four of them came to the center of the forest and saw a beautiful lake. The water in the lake was crystal clear and there were all kinds of strange plants growing by the lake.
"It's so beautiful here." Su Yao exclaimed.
"Yes, it's really beautiful here." Lin Yu said.
"We found our way home here," said Zhao Hao.
"Yes, we found the way home here." said Li Yueran.
The four of them stood by the lake, feeling the tranquility and beauty of the place.
They knew that they were about to leave this world and return to their own world.
But they also understand that they have experienced too much and gained a lot here.
They gained courage, wisdom, friendship and love.
They will never forget this beautiful world and will never forget the guardian of this world.
They believe that as long as they keep this beauty in their hearts, they can bravely face all challenges in the future.
The four of them turned and left, setting off on their journey home.
Their legendary life has just begun.
