Chapter 266 Reliance
"That's right, we rely on each other and face challenges together." Allen patted his companion's shoulder vigorously, his smile revealing trust and determination.
"Then, let us head towards the Dragon's Breath Abyss." The traveler looked into the distance, his eyes filled with curiosity about the unknown and fearlessness for the future.
At this point in the conversation, they set out on their journey again, their backs gradually blurred in the afterglow of the setting sun. And those bystanders, who were either surprised, awed, or yearning, were still cheering for them silently in their hearts, as if everyone could draw the strength to pursue the light from them.
"Fragments of light intertwined with fate..." the fortuneteller whispered in the tent. Her predictions seemed to be unfinished, adding a bit of mystery and unknown to this journey. "All this is just a small section in the grand movement of the universe..."
…A few days later, the news of the Dragon Breath Abyss spread like wildfire, quickly sweeping through every tavern and market on the continent. In a small, inconspicuous tavern in a bustling town, several travelers were sitting around a table, discussing this shocking news.
"Are Yun Xi and the others really going to the Dragon's Breath Abyss? That's a place that even the bravest explorers dare not set foot in!" exclaimed an old man with a white beard holding a wooden cup, his eyes flickering with the dreams that were not realized when he was young.
"Dragon's Breath Abyss... It is said that it is the end of time and a rift in space. No one who goes in has ever come back." A young adventurer frowned, looking both curious and worried.
"Humph, if they can really find the fragment of light, then I can become king too." In the corner, a burly man with a look of disdain on his face snorted coldly, but his eyes unconsciously revealed a hint of envy.
Just as everyone was talking about this, a traveler who had just returned from the outside world pushed the door open. He was covered in dust, but he could not hide his excitement. "Have you heard? On the way to the Dragon Breath Abyss, Yun Xi and his companions rescued a village that was attacked by monsters. It is said that the whole process was like a myth reenacted. With a flash of sword light, the monsters were reduced to ashes!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the tavern suddenly became lively, with sounds of exclamation and praise ringing out.
"It's true that heroes emerge from youth. Miss Yun Xi is worthy of being a child of destiny." A gentle waitress gently wiped the counter with a gentle smile on her lips.
“They are not just looking for fragments of light. It’s more like they are looking for lost hope for all of us.” A young man who looked like a bachelor pushed his glasses and said thoughtfully.
...At the same time, far at the edge of the Dragon Breath Abyss, Yun Xi and his group faced unprecedented challenges. In front of them was a desolate land covered with fog, and the air was filled with an ancient and dangerous atmosphere.
"Is this the entrance to the Dragon's Breath Abyss? It feels like even the air is telling the glory and sorrow of the past." Brooke said solemnly, gripping the sword tightly in his hand.
"Yes, what we are about to step into is the abyss of history, but also the starting point of hope." Yun Xi's eyes penetrated the fog, as if he could see through the secrets of that unknown land. "Are you all ready? Our journey has only just begun."
"For the sake of light and the future, nothing can stop us!" Allen's words inspired everyone, and the team's morale reached its peak at this moment.
…Just as they stepped into the mist, an old and majestic voice suddenly echoed in the air: "Your courage is commendable, travelers. But the real test has just begun..."
After the words faded, the surrounding environment suddenly changed, illusion and reality intertwined, every step they took seemed to be stepping on the river of time, testing their wisdom and courage.
"It seems that what the fortune teller said, 'Only the brave can achieve this', is not an empty promise." Yun Xi raised the corner of her mouth with a barely perceptible smile. She knew that the real adventure had just begun.
…The sun set again, and when Yun Xi and his group completely disappeared in the mist of the Dragon Breath Abyss, those distant discussions, blessings and expectations still echoed in every corner of the continent. People began to tell the legend about Yun Xi and the fragment of light, and each version was full of miracles and hope, and behind this was a deep desire for the return of light.
"Maybe they can really do it." A child looked up at the starry sky, his eyes full of innocent dreams.
"Yes, after all, every era needs heroes, and they are the light of this era." The child's father stroked his head, his tone full of confidence.
And under this endless night, some kind of ancient will seemed to be awakening in the depths of the Dragon Breath Abyss. It whispered softly, as if responding to the world silently: "Light... return... I hope you will live up to the trust of this destiny..."
...A few months later, the legend of Dragon Breath Abyss was no longer just a topic of conversation in the tavern, it became part of the children's bedtime story. By the fireplace of every family, adults never tired of telling the heroic deeds of Yun Xi and his companions. In this upsurge, the tavern once again gathered various travelers, who brought the latest news and pushed Yun Xi's story to a new climax.
"Have you heard? Yun Xi and his friends encountered a creature called 'Shadow Devourer' in the abyss. That thing can even devour light!" A ragged traveler shared excitedly, and the people around him immediately looked at him in surprise.
"Devouring the light? Then how did they escape?" the young adventurer asked in disbelief, the wine glass in his hand trembling slightly.
"It is said that an ancient magic was used to briefly release the power of the light fragments, forming a shield of light, which tore a hole in the encirclement of the Shadow Eater." The traveler described it vividly, and everyone was fascinated.
"It's simply a miracle! Each of them is like a hero walking out of a myth." The waitress put down the work in her hands, her eyes full of admiration.
In the corner, the burly man who had once shown disdain was now silent, with a complicated look in his eyes, as if he was re-evaluating his previous views.
At this moment, the door of the tavern was pushed open again. A tired messenger stumbled in with hurried footsteps and panting. "Latest news! Yun Xi and his team discovered a forgotten ancient city at the bottom of the abyss. Hidden in the city is a mysterious device that can control time and space!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the noise in the tavern instantly stopped, and everyone held their breath waiting for what would happen next.
"Controlling time and space...this...this is simply incredible!" The wooden cup in the old man's hand trembled with excitement.
"They found it! They found the key to changing everything!" The eyes of the young man who looked like a bachelor flashed with a fiery light behind his glasses, as if he had also participated in that epic exploration.
