Chapter 252 Precious
The market has returned to its bustle, but the hearts of every vendor and customer are drawn to the unknown in the distance. During the exchanges, there is an additional re-examination of life and curiosity about the unknown world.
"They will definitely bring back something we have never seen before, which will make our lives extraordinary." A young vendor fantasized to the new customers, his eyes full of hope.
…As the night deepened, the town returned to calm, but in everyone’s heart, that adventure was like a seed, quietly taking root and sprouting, nurturing countless possibilities.
At the same time, on the road to the end of time, the four heroes and Leo face unprecedented challenges.
"This wind, carrying the whispers of time, is it telling us something?" Xiaoyu listened attentively, and the wind seemed to be mixed with ancient information.
Le Mei followed closely behind, ancient book in hand, each step was particularly solemn: "Perhaps, it is guiding us, so that we can prepare for the upcoming trials."
While they were discussing, an unexpected encounter interrupted their journey. A group of strange-looking, colorful creatures appeared in front of them, with curiosity and vigilance in their eyes.
"Who are you? Where are you from? Why are you invading our territory?" the leading creature asked in an ancient language, but there was a hint of wisdom in his voice.
Ah Fu stepped forward and responded in a friendly manner: "We are travelers seeking the truth. We have no intention of offending you. We only hope to pass through this land and find the secret of the end of time."
Qin Yueran silently drew his sword halfway out of its sheath, with the tip of the sword lightly touching the ground. It was both a defensive gesture and a silent promise - to protect his companions until death.
Leo stepped forward and communicated with these creatures in an ancient language, explaining their mission and determination. After some communication, the attitudes of those creatures gradually softened, and they even showed some respect.
"I see. You are the chosen ones. Please continue on your way, but be careful. The road to the end of time is full of tests and temptations." The leading creature finally made way and handed them a faintly glowing bead. "This is the Tear of Time. It will help you when you need it most."
...As the four heroes and Leo disappear from sight again, this adventure of courage, wisdom and faith becomes more and more exciting.
The residents of the town, whether old or young, the big men in the tavern, or the scholars in the library, all pray for them silently in their hearts, looking forward to the day when the heroes will return with treasures beyond imagination.
"They will definitely succeed, right?" the child asked his mother again.
The mother smiled and looked into the distance, with the sea of stars in her eyes: "As long as there is light in your heart, nothing is impossible. Let us wait together for the return that will surely shock your soul."
The story ends here for now, but the legends of the four heroes and the secrets they will uncover at the end of time are like seeds planted in the hearts of every reader, taking root and sprouting, waiting for the day when they will bloom. That day will be a brand new beginning, and it will also be the moment when all the suspense will be solved. ... A few days later, the four heroes and Leo passed through the unpredictable forest of time and came to an ancient and mysterious ruins. The ruins are engraved with traces of time, as if every brick and tile is telling the past glory and silence.
"Is this... the legendary end of time?" Xiaoyu looked around, amazed at the scene before her.
Le Mei stroked the ancient book, and the pages automatically turned to an illustration of a similar scene. "Yes, this is the place described in the book. We are getting closer and closer to our goal."
Just as everyone was preparing to go deeper into the ruins, a low roar came from deep inside the ruins, causing the surrounding wind and sand to become restless. Ah Fu tightly grasped the weapon in his hand and looked towards the source of the sound vigilantly. "Something is approaching, prepare to fight!"
Suddenly, the ground cracked and a huge gargoyle slowly rose up, its eyes flashing an ominous red light, blocking the entrance like a guard. "Mortals, you have no right to set foot in holy land!"
Qin Yueran stretched out his body and approached the gargoyle like a shadow. The sword flashed, but only left a tiny scratch on the hard stone skin. "This guy... is harder to deal with than I thought."
"Stand back!" Leo waved his hand, and a mysterious force gathered to form a shield, blocking the gargoyle's subsequent attack. "Let me try to communicate with it."
After a difficult exchange, the gargoyle's eyes revealed a hint of recognition. "You have passed the test, proving your determination and courage. Enter and find the answers you seek."
The door of the ruins slowly opened, and a warm and ancient light emanated from inside, as if the end of the long river of time was calling them. The group walked in carefully, and every step they took seemed to touch the echo of history.
…At the same time, in a distant town, people’s topic was still about the heroic deeds of the four heroes. In the tavern, Ajie picked up another glass of wine, with admiration in his eyes, and said to the people around him: “Have you heard? They met the guardian at the end of time and successfully persuaded it!”
"Is this true?" A passing traveler stopped and asked curiously. "I thought such stories only existed in legends."
"Yes, yes, even my old bones can't help but feel excited after listening to it." The old scholar joined the discussion without knowing when, and the draft of the heroic deeds in his hand was soaked with sweat. "This is not just a journey, it is a baptism of the soul and an exploration of the unknown world."
At the market, the young merchant composed a ballad about the heroes' adventures, singing it while he was selling his wares, attracting many listeners. "Their names will be remembered forever..."
...In the deepest part of the ruins, the four heroes finally discovered the secret of time - a lake with brilliant light flowing, and the illusions of the past and the future reflected on the lake, which was fascinating and awe-inspiring.
"We found it..." Le Mei murmured, and the ancient book automatically turned to the last blank page, as if waiting to record the glory of this moment.
Just as everyone was immersed in this miracle, the lake suddenly rippled, and a solemn and ancient voice sounded in their hearts: "Brave travelers, you have witnessed the true meaning of time. Remember, true power comes from within, not from external things."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding scene began to distort, as if foreshadowing that they were about to be sent back to the real world. Ah Fu tightly grasped the hand of his partner beside him and said firmly: "No matter what the future holds, everything we have experienced together is more precious than any treasure."
