Chapter 788 Pale
The merchants' faces turned pale in an instant, and some young drivers even panicked. Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Su Ye quickly stood at the front of the team. The light of the heart lamp condensed in her hands, brighter than ever before. Her eyes were firm and warm, like the brightest star in the night sky.

"Stop!" Su Ye's voice was clear and powerful, penetrating the hustle and bustle of the scene. "What you want is only temporary wealth. But please think about how many families will be hurt by today's looting?"

The bandit leader sneered: "Little girl, don't try to fool me with your moral principles. We know the path we are taking."

At this moment, a member of the caravan accidentally fell, and the goods in his hands scattered all over the ground. A bandit took the opportunity to step forward, with a sharp blade flashing coldly, about to fall. At the critical moment, Su Ye stretched out his body, like a deer leaping in the forest, and his heart lamp turned into a ray of light, accurately hitting the bandit's wrist, and the sound of the knife falling and the cry of pain rang out together.

"Our goal is to protect peace, not to create more suffering." Su Ye's tone was calm, but every word was powerful. "Put down your weapons, we can find a better solution."

The gangsters' morale was slightly shaken by this incident, but they did not retreat. The air was filled with tension. However, at this moment, Chaos blew the flute. Unlike the previous quiet melody, the melody this time was passionate and powerful, as if there was a force inspiring justice and courage in everyone's heart.

"Listen, that is the call of light." Su Ye took the opportunity to encourage the people around him, "Stand up bravely for everything we cherish."

Inspired by Chaos' flute and Su Ye's words, the members of the caravan began to support each other. Although there were wounded, their eyes were no longer confused, but filled with the flames of resistance.

Seeing this, the morale of the bandits dropped significantly. After hesitating for a moment, the leading bandit spat fiercely: "You are lucky today, but don't think that someone can save you every time." After that, the bandits disappeared into the woods as quickly as when they came.

The crisis was temporarily resolved, and the caravan members gathered around Su Ye, their gratitude overflowing with words. Su Ye smiled and comforted them one by one, and the heart lamp beside her was still bright, illuminating the way forward.

"Thank you, Su Ye. You always bring us light at the most critical moments." Fick walked to Su Ye, his eyes full of admiration.

"We are a team, aren't we?" Su Ye replied with a smile, and then turned to look at everyone in the caravan, "Next, we must be more vigilant and return home safely together."

The caravan regrouped and set off. Although they had experienced the attack, their steps became more determined, and everyone seemed to have new strength in their hearts. Under the setting sun, the caravan's shadow stretched very long, just like their indomitable will. Even in the face of unknown threats, they would move forward hand in hand to pass on light and hope to more people.

"This test is just the beginning." Aiden pondered as he walked, his eyes looking through the shadows of the trees and into the distant sky, "But as long as we unite as one, nothing can stop us from moving forward."

"You're right, Aiden." Fike nodded in agreement. "No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, the battle between light and darkness will never stop. The important thing is that we are ready to face it all."

"Look at these brave people." Su Ye looked around. Although the caravan members were physically exhausted, their eyes shone with unprecedented determination. "Even in the darkest moments, as long as we have light in our hearts, hope will be like a heart lamp, always guiding us forward."

As the caravan went deeper into the forest, night fell quietly, and the moonlight shone through the treetops, casting mottled shadows on the winding path. At this moment, a figure slowly walked out of the mist in front of them, and his outline gradually became clear in the moonlight. It was an old man wearing strange clothes and holding a staff.

"I am Astra, the guardian of the forest." The old man's voice was deep, as if he had traveled through time and space. "I feel the power and pure intentions in your hearts. Tell me, travelers, why do you bear such a heavy responsibility?"

"Respected Astra, we are the apostles who protect the light." Aiden stepped forward and briefly described their mission. "We have just returned from an ancient secret room, carrying the knowledge of sealing the power of darkness and a heart lamp, which symbolizes light and hope."

Astra stared at the sword and heart lamp in Aiden's hand, with a hint of admiration in her eyes. "What you have done is far more important than you realize. It has been a long time since this continent has welcomed such a brave soul. But I must warn you that the road ahead is full of unknowns and dangers, which are far more difficult than the bandits we just encountered."

“Please give me some advice, wise elder,” Fike pleaded, and the other caravan members also listened attentively.

"During your journey, you will encounter three trials: the first is the trial of the heart, you must overcome your own fears and doubts; the second is the trial of strength, against those who attempt to awaken the dark forces; the last is the trial of faith, only when the heart of light is strong enough, can it lead the world out of darkness."

Every word of the old man was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart. In silence, Su Ye asked softly: "So, how should we prepare?"

"Faith and unity are your most powerful weapons." Astra raised her staff and pointed it at the starry sky. "Seek the guidance of the stars. They will lead you in the critical moment. And remember, true power comes from the light within. Don't let it go out."

Under the grateful gazes of the caravan members, Astra gradually turned into a ray of light and merged into the night, leaving only his words echoing in the woods.

"Now, we must speed up and act according to Astra's instructions." Aiden's voice was full of determination, "Everyone, get ready to face the upcoming challenges."

In the night, the caravan continued to move forward, and this time, they were more calm and expectant. The whispers from the caravan were about planning for the future and the firmness of their own beliefs.

"I never thought that we would become part of the legend," said a young businessman with emotion.

"Yes, but this also means greater responsibility." Another person continued with a serious look, "We are not only transporting treasures, but also transporting the flame of light."

As the caravan was moving, suddenly, a meteor streaked across the night sky, pointing them in the right direction, just as Astra had said. Everyone followed the trail of light, their hearts filled with shock and hope.

"Look, our path has been illuminated." Su Ye smiled, and the light of the heart lamp seemed to become brighter with the meteor.

"Then let us follow this light. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, it can not stop us from moving forward." Aiden declared firmly. His voice was full of passion and determination, infecting everyone around him.

"Yes, it is this light that connects our past and future." Fick agreed, his eyes burning as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

As the caravan accelerated in the direction indicated by the meteor, they encountered the first test - the test of the heart. A thick fog surrounded them silently, and strange whispers came from the fog, seeming to provoke everyone's fear and anxiety. "This fog... is so strange." A driver muttered in a low voice, his voice trembling.

"It is fear that is speaking to us." Su Ye responded immediately. She raised her heart lamp, and the light dispelled a small piece of fog. "We must believe in our own hearts and not let fear devour our courage."

Gradually, conversations began to be heard in the caravan. Some people were encouraging each other, while others were sharing their past experiences of overcoming fear. The atmosphere changed from the initial tension to an indestructible unity.

"Look, we can overcome everything." A woman smiled at her companions, her eyes flashing with unprecedented determination.

Finally, when the last trace of fear faded from their hearts, the thick fog dissipated miraculously, revealing a clear starry sky. The caravan members smiled at each other, as if after this trial, they had established a deeper trust and understanding between them.

In the following days, the caravan, under Astra's guidance, traveled through various dangerous places, whether it was a barren desert or a rugged mountain, they overcame them one by one with extraordinary perseverance and courage. During a difficult journey over the mountains, they encountered an enemy who attempted to awaken the dark forces - the Shadowbringer, which marked the beginning of the second trial.

The battle broke out on the steep ridge, with shadowbringers in large numbers, using strange shadow magic to create illusions in an attempt to confuse and defeat the caravan.

"Hold on! Don't let your eyes deceive your heart!" Aiden shouted, and the sword light was like a dragon, shattering one illusory shadow after another.

"Focus, our strength comes from light, we are fearless!" Fick's encouragement was like a war drum, motivating everyone.

Just as the battle was at a stalemate, a young caravan member nearly fell off a cliff due to a mistake. At the critical moment, he suddenly heard Su Ye's words echoing in his ears: "Believe in the light in your heart, it is more powerful than any external force."

The young man closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, his movements became more agile. He avoided one trap after another and finally landed safely in the astonished eyes of everyone.

"He did it!" The crowd burst into admiration. The caravan's morale was at an unprecedented high. They worked together and ultimately defeated the Shadowbringer, completing the Trial of Strength.

After the victory, the caravan took a short break and continued on their journey. At this time, they were no longer a group of ordinary travelers, but a group of bright messengers with firm beliefs and courage.

"The final test awaits us." Aiden looked at the ancient castle looming in the distance. It is said that the source of the dark power is hidden there. "Are we ready?"

"As long as there is light in my heart, why fear the darkness?" Fick gripped his sword tightly, his eyes flashing with determination.

"Yes, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, we must bring light to every corner of the world." Su Ye stroked the heart lamp gently but firmly.

Under the shining starlight, the caravan embarked on the final journey to the castle. The castle was surrounded by dark clouds and thunder, as if the elements of nature were also foreshadowing the upcoming final showdown.

The castle gate slowly opened, and it was pitch black inside, like the entrance to another world.

The interior of the castle was dark and depressing, and the air was filled with a suffocating atmosphere. Su Ye, Aiden and Fike led the caravan members into this ancient fortress. The footsteps echoed in the empty hall, and seemed particularly heavy. The light could hardly penetrate this deep space. Only the torches in their hands and Su Ye's heart lamp emitted a weak but firm light.

"Welcome to the Castle of Despair, travelers." A deep, teasing voice sounded in the darkness, but no one was seen. "Few people can reach here, let alone with such bright intentions."

"Who are you? Come out and talk face to face." Aiden stood with his chest out, the tip of his sword pointing in the direction where the voice came from, without any fear in his tone.

With a burst of sneers, several figures gradually emerged from the shadows, wearing strange black robes, wearing strange masks on their faces, and surrounded by ominous black fog. "We are the guardians of the castle, specially designed to test those who call themselves messengers of light. If you want to pass here, you must prove yourself first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the floor of the hall suddenly cracked, forming a complex maze, with traps and puzzles on every path. The caravan members looked at each other, and the tense atmosphere suddenly escalated.

"This is your first level. Find the right path, otherwise you will be lost here forever." One of the evil men challenged.

Su Ye stared at the maze in front of him, took a deep breath, and said calmly and firmly: "We will not retreat. As long as there is light in our hearts, the fog will always dissipate. Everyone follow me closely, and we will find a way out together."

She led the team carefully, using the faint light of the heart lamp to identify traps, and cooperated with Aiden and Fike to solve puzzles one by one with wisdom. The caravan members encouraged and helped each other, and never gave up even in the face of difficulties.

"Be careful, there is a trap on the left!" Fick suddenly shouted. His keen perception helped the team avoid a crisis.

"There is a secret door on the right, follow me." Aiden discovered an inconspicuous clue, and his decisive decision led the team to bypass a dead end.

As they went deeper and deeper, the problems they encountered became more and more complicated, and even psychological tests appeared. Evil people kept provoking with words in the dark, trying to create suspicion and division within the team.

"I see that you are not as united as you thought. A small challenge is enough to tear you apart." A harsh voice echoed in the ears, trying to plant the seeds of doubt in people's hearts.

However, Su Ye stood up firmly, with an unyielding light in her eyes: "We have been through so much together. How can the trust in each other be shaken by a few slanderous words? Our hearts are more closely connected than ever before."
