Chapter 766 Encouragement
“Remember, once the gears of fate start turning, they cannot be stopped. Only the brave can open up a path in adversity, lead the light, and defeat the darkness.”

As the words fell, the old man and the book turned into points of light and disappeared into the night sky, leaving the team with endless thoughts and a firmer belief.

"No matter how dangerous the future is, as long as we stand shoulder to shoulder, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome." Su Ye's words, like a horn, inspired everyone.

"Yes, we are each other's strength." Qi Meng chuckled, with an eternal fire of hope flickering in her eyes.

"Now, the first thing we have to do is to understand the true meaning of this prophecy." Casar stroked his chin with a deep look in his eyes. His rationality always provided timely guidance for the team.

The villagers gathered around them curiously, talking about them. They admired and were curious about these foreign heroes.

"It sounds like something from a myth. Can you really do it?" a young villager asked doubtfully, with both expectation and confusion in his eyes.

"No one is born with all the answers, but we are willing to look for them and try." Arya responded gently, and her smile seemed to have the power to soothe people.

At this moment, the girl who discovered the monster earlier quietly approached Arya, her eyes full of admiration. "Are you... really warriors from another world? I heard from the old people in the village that whenever the world faces a disaster, heroes will appear."

Arya squatted down and gently held the girl's hand. "Everyone can be the hero in their own story, including you. We are just doing what we can to protect the world and you and your family."

As soon as the conversation ended, a cold wind blew, which seemed to indicate that a new challenge was coming. The team members looked into the distance at the same time, where dark clouds began to gather again, which seemed to indicate an uneasy future.

"It seems we don't have much time." Lin En looked up at the sky with a frown, "We have to find clues as soon as possible to solve the secret of the prophecy."

"Maybe we can start with that book." Shadow suggested. His eyes stayed on the place where the old man disappeared, as if trying to recall every detail. "If that book is the key, we may be able to find the rest of it."

"Good idea." Su Ye nodded in agreement, "But before that, we'd better return to the village, organize our equipment, and get the villagers ready. The real battle may be more difficult than we expected."

So, the group returned to the village with the blessings and expectations of the villagers. After a brief rest and preparation, they decided to split up, with some people staying behind to take care of the villagers' safety, while the rest set out on a journey to find the remaining prophecy chapters based on the clues left by the old man.

"Be careful, we'll wait for you to return safely." The middle-aged man patted Su Ye's shoulder hard, with both worry and trust in his eyes.

"We will," Su Ye promised, his eyes unwavering, "not just for the prophecy, but for all those who rely on us."

At the entrance of the village, the team members were ready to go. As the villagers watched them, their backs looked particularly determined and lonely.

"Let's go. Every step brings us closer to the truth." Qi Meng said softly. Her piccolo was tied tightly around her waist. It was their lucky charm and the courage to move forward.

"Yes, the truth is often hidden in the most dangerous places." Casar agreed, his eyes penetrating the fog, as if he had seen the challenges ahead, "But as long as we are together, there is nothing that cannot be solved."

"Remember, every step we take carries people's hope." Arya looked around, and the determined eyes of her teammates reassured her. "We are not only explorers, but also messengers of hope."

Just as they were about to take a step forward, a childish but firm voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "Wait a minute! I want to go too!"

Everyone turned around and found that it was the little girl who had sounded the alarm about the monster before. There was a determined light in her eyes and her little hands were tightly clenching the corners of her clothes, as if she had made up her mind.

"No, it's too dangerous." Lin En was the first to object, his tone revealing concern, "You should stay in the village and be with everyone."

The little girl raised her head stubbornly, tears flashing in her eyes, but she refused to give in: "But, I also want to do something for the village, just like you! Even if it's just a little bit."

"She's right." Casar stood up unexpectedly. He squatted down and looked at the little girl. "Courage knows no age. Everyone who is willing to stand up deserves respect. However, it's really dangerous this time. You need to promise that no matter what happens, you will listen to us and protect yourself."

The little girl nodded vigorously, tears of excitement flashing in her eyes. At this moment, she seemed to have really become a member of the team.

"Then it's decided." Su Ye looked at everyone. After getting everyone's tacit approval, he smiled and said to the little girl, "You are welcome to join us, but remember, safety comes first."

With the addition of new members, the atmosphere in the team became more lively and warm. Villagers came forward one after another, either encouraging or admonishing them, each of which expressed their support and trust for them.

"You must come back, our heroes!" The middle-aged man waved his hands and watched them go away.

"We will." Qi Meng smiled back. She played the piccolo. The melodious melody echoed in the air, adding courage and hope to this unknown journey.

As the team went deeper, the environment became increasingly harsh, and unknown challenges came one after another. They encountered strange illusions, dangerous traps, and even creatures from ancient legends, but they resolved them one by one with wisdom and unity.

"I've never seen anything like this. What do you think this is?" The shadow pointed to a patch of strange plants in front of them. Those plants emitted a strange blue light, which made people shudder.

“Whatever it is, we must be cautious,” Lynn reminded, his fingers lightly touching the hilt of the sword, ready to respond to any emergency at any time.

Just as they were approaching cautiously, a huge shadow suddenly rose from the bushes, accompanied by a deafening roar, and a monster they had never seen before stood before them.

"Is this the answer we're looking for?" Arya asked in a low voice. She stared at the pair of malicious red eyes, her heart beating like a drum. "Whether it is or not, we have no choice." Su Ye clenched the sword in his hand, his voice firm, "Prepare for battle, protect the little girl."

The battle was about to start, and each member of the team played to their strengths. The little girl was not to be outdone and tried her best to assist in her own way. After a fierce fight, they finally defeated the monster, and where the monster fell, an ancient stone tablet appeared, engraved with strange runes.

"This... is this the clue to the prophecy?" Casar exclaimed. He carefully touched the cold runes, trying to decipher their meaning.

"It seems that our journey is far from over." Qi Meng looked at the darkening clouds in the sky, feeling both anticipation and uneasiness in her heart.

"As long as we are together, there is nothing we can't face." Su Ye's words seemed to give everyone a reassurance.

"Yes, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will persevere." The little girl also plucked up the courage. Although her voice was childish, it was extremely firm.

Under the setting sun, the team continued to move forward, their shadows lengthened in the evening breeze, behind them were the blessings and expectations of the villagers, and ahead were unknown adventures and challenges.

"What will happen next?" The little girl's voice was full of curiosity. She followed the team closely, her eyes filled with infinite longing for the future.

"No matter what it is, we will face it together." Su Ye looked back at the little girl, his eyes showing both tenderness and determination, "Because we are the guardians and the seekers of hope."

"Hey, have you heard? Those foreign warriors not only defeated the monster, but also found a strange stone tablet!" Under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, several children sat in a circle. One of the children had bright eyes and imitated the adults' talk.

"Yes, yes, my brother saw it with his own eyes. He said that the symbols engraved on the stone tablet were glowing, as if they were alive!" Another child excitedly joined the discussion, causing the surrounding children to exclaim in surprise.

Not far away, several women were knitting and whispering. "Do you think they can really solve the prophecy? Since the old man disappeared, the village has never been peaceful again." An elderly woman sighed worriedly.

Another woman put down her needlework and comforted him, "No matter what, at least there is hope now. Look at them, they are all brave and fearless. Even my naughty boy said he wanted to be as brave as them."

At this time, a traveler who was passing by stopped and asked curiously: "Excuse me, are you talking about those outsiders? I have heard a lot of rumors in the town. It is said that they have superhuman powers."

A young man who happened to be passing by interrupted and said, "They are really extraordinary. I saw them helping a wounded deer yesterday when I was fetching water from the stream. The woman with the flute was able to calm the surrounding animals by playing a tune. It was amazing."

The traveler was so fascinated by the scene that he could not help but exclaim: "This is a rare sight. I thought such heroes only existed in storybooks, but I didn't expect they actually exist in reality."

As they talked, the sky turned pale, heralding the beginning of a new day. The team members were ready to go, and the little girl woke up early, standing among them in high spirits, holding a wooden stick tightly in her hand. That was the "weapon" Su Ye prepared for her last night.

"We are going to enter the dense forest today. Is everyone ready?" Su Ye's voice was steady and powerful. He glanced around and saw determination written on everyone's face.

"We're ready!" The team responded in unison, even the little girl responded loudly. Although her voice was childish, the momentum that was not inferior to anyone else made people feel warm.

"Then let's go!" Qi Meng played the piccolo lightly, and a clear melody broke the tranquility of the early morning, like a war song, inspiring the morale of the team.

The villagers came over after hearing the noise and silently saw them off. It was not just a blessing, but also a deep sustenance. The middle-aged man clenched his fists and prayed silently in his heart: "May the light guide your path."

As the team's backs gradually merged into the morning glow, a new journey officially began. What awaited them ahead, in addition to unknown dangers, may also be the light and hope mentioned in the prophecy.

"Do you think they will find all the prophecy chapters?" The little girl's voice was a little nervous, but more of anticipation.

Su Ye tilted his head and smiled, "We will, because this is our common mission. Besides, isn't there a saying that goes like this? Even if the road is long, if you keep walking, you will reach your destination; even if the task is difficult, if you keep doing it, you will succeed."

After hearing this, the little girl's eyes sparkled with stars, and she became more determined to follow them.

"By the way, have you noticed that the atmosphere around the village has changed since they came?" A young man passing by whispered to his companions next to him, his eyes full of awe, "It's like even the air is filled with a sense of impending change."

"Yes, even my grandfather said that this feeling appeared once decades ago. At that time, a hero passed by and saved the entire village from danger." His friend interjected, and the two of them couldn't help but speed up their pace, as if they wanted to get closer to that glory.

When the team stepped into the legendary dangerous forest, the surrounding vegetation quickly grew lush, and the sunlight shone through the layers of leaves, scattering on the ground in a mottled manner. The little girl followed the large group, occasionally reaching out to touch the strange plants out of curiosity. Every touch was like an adventure, and her eyes were shining with curiosity and desire for the unknown world.

"Be careful, there may be a trap here." Lin En walked in front, keenly noticed the subtle changes on the ground, and reminded everyone. As soon as he finished speaking, a team member unfortunately triggered a hidden mechanism, but with Kasar's quick reaction and the team's quick cooperation, the crisis was resolved invisibly.

"That's amazing! How did you do it?" The little girl looked at them in admiration, feeling a sense of respect in her heart.

"Teamwork is indispensable." Su Ye patted her shoulder, his eyes full of encouragement, "Remember, everyone is important."

Going deep into the dense forest, they encountered an ancient puzzle: a huge stone wall blocked their way. Complex patterns were engraved on the stone wall, and a specific order of touches was required to open the passage to the core area.

Just as everyone was thinking hard, the little girl suddenly said: "If these patterns represent the change of seasons, then shouldn't we try them in the order of spring, summer, autumn and winter?" Although her words were childish, they unexpectedly inspired everyone.

With the joint efforts of everyone, the stone door rumbled open, and a bright light shone from behind the door, shining on everyone's face, full of hope and miracles.
