Chapter 550: Family's Bravery
Decades later, a mysterious traveler came to this continent. He carried a strange aura, neither pure good nor absolutely evil. He heard about the legendary deeds of his family and was quite interested in it.
Lin Ze has been traveling all his life, and his footprints have covered every corner of the continent. One day, when he stepped into a long-abandoned castle, he accidentally found an ancient book that looked like it had been sealed for a long time in the corner of a dusty bookshelf.
Gently brushing off the thick dust on the book, Lin Ze slowly turned the pages, and a piece of unknown history gradually unfolded before his eyes. It turned out that this ancient book recorded a shocking secret: the legendary demons were not naturally generated, but were controlled by the evil gods of ancient times! Although those demons have long been dead, as long as the evil gods wake up from their slumber one day, the entire continent will still face a catastrophe.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, shocking Lin Ze. At the same time, Karl's descendant, Kerry, who was far away on the other side of the continent, also learned about this incident through unknown means. With a sense of responsibility for the family mission and the determination to save the continent, Kerry resolutely embarked on a journey to follow Lin Ze's footsteps, vowing to uncover the truth hidden behind the dust of history.
After a difficult search and gathering, Carrie successfully organized a team of elites from all walks of life. Some of these people are good at fighting skills, some are proficient in magic secrets, and some have in-depth research on ancient ruins. In this way, this team full of a sense of mission resolutely marched towards the ancient ruins full of unknown dangers.
When they finally arrived at the entrance of the ruins, a chilling and cold atmosphere hit them. As they continued to go deeper into the ruins, various complex and sophisticated traps began to appear frequently, making it difficult to guard against them. Not only that, from time to time, some hideous and terrifying dark creatures would appear in the darkness and launch fierce attacks on them.
Faced with numerous difficulties and crises, the team members did not flinch, but worked closely together to overcome danger time and time again. However, the long-term consumption still made everyone feel physically and mentally exhausted, and some even began to despair.
At this moment, Lin Ze, who had been walking in front of the team, suddenly cried out in surprise. Everyone hurried forward and saw that Lin Ze was holding a mysterious rune stone that was emitting a faint light. This rune stone seemed to have life, and the light on it flickered, as if it was guiding them in the direction of progress.
Following the guidance of the rune stone, the team members continued to move forward. Finally, they came to a secret room, where they found a crucial item - the Heart of Light. It is said that this Heart of Light contains endless sacred power and is the key to restraining the evil god.
After obtaining the Heart of Light, Lin Ze and his companions did not dare to delay for even a second and immediately rushed back to the center of the continent. After returning to the center of the continent, they quickly informed all parties of this important discovery and joined forces to jointly set up layer after layer of extremely solid protective barriers.
With everyone's concerted efforts, the crisis of the evil god's revival was finally resolved. From then on, the continent completely got rid of the threat of darkness and restored its former prosperity and tranquility. The heroic deeds of Lin Ze, Kai Rui and the team they led were passed down by word of mouth and forever engraved on this land that had suffered so much but eventually regained its life.
Many years later, a young adventurer stood in the tavern of a small town, listening to the people around him telling the legendary story.
The young man named Lin Ze was full of yearning, and he longed to do something earth-shattering like his predecessors. So he decided to leave the town and explore those mysterious places that had not been discovered.
Lin Ze went eastward, passing through dense forests and steep mountains. While exploring an ancient cave, he accidentally discovered a hidden stone door. With his wisdom and courage, he solved the puzzle on the stone door and opened it. There was another rune stone inside, but this rune stone flashed a strange black light. Just as he was puzzled, the rune stone suddenly released an energy wave and passed into his mind. It was a message about another potential threat. Lin Ze knew that a new adventure was about to begin. He clenched his fists and walked out of the cave with a firm look in his eyes, ready to find more like-minded people, just like Kerry did back then, to protect this hard-won peaceful continent.
After leaving the cave, Lin Ze headed towards the largest town nearby. Along the way, he asked everyone he met if there was anyone with outstanding abilities.
Soon, he met Afeng, a ronin with superb swordsmanship, and Lingdang, a girl who was good at tracking and exploring mysteries.
The three of them traveled together and headed to a mysterious valley according to the instructions of the rune stone.
After entering the valley, a thick fog quickly spread out, like a thick curtain blocking people's sight. The fog was so thick that it could not be dissipated, making people feel as if they were in a chaos. Everything seemed blurry within a few feet of sight.
At this moment, a sharp and shrill howl suddenly sounded, breaking the originally silent atmosphere. Then, a group of ghostly monsters with erratic figures surged out like a tide. These monsters exuded strange light all over their bodies, and their faces were twisted and hideous, which was creepy.
Facing the sudden attack, A Feng stood up fearlessly. He quickly drew the sword from his waist, leaped to the front in a flash, and swung the sword in his hand, emitting a series of cold lights, and engaged in a fierce battle with the monster that rushed up. When the swords intersected, there was a crisp collision sound, and sparks flew everywhere.
At the same time, Lingling was not idle either. She quickly took out a special powder and sprinkled it into the surrounding fog. As the powder drifted in the air, the thick fog began to gradually dissipate, and the vision became clear. Through the gradually thinning fog, one could clearly see the monsters that kept coming and their movements.
While Afeng and Lingdang were fighting bravely against the monsters, Lin Ze was not idle either. He flexibly shuttled between the battlefields, sometimes performing exquisite boxing to hit the monsters' vital points, and sometimes throwing hidden weapons to disrupt the monsters' attack rhythm, providing strong assistance and support to the two.
After a hard and fierce battle, the group of terrible monsters were finally repelled. A Feng put away his sword, panting heavily, his clothes torn in many places; Ling Ling gently patted the remaining powder on his hands, his eyes revealing a trace of fatigue; Lin Ze was vigilantly observing the surroundings to prevent other unknown dangers lurking in them.
After a short rest, the three continued to move forward into the depths of the valley. They were very careful along the way and did not dare to be careless. When they finally reached the end of the valley, an extremely huge statue appeared in front of them. The statue was dozens of feet tall, solemn and majestic, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
