In the days after the fall of the temple, the three revisited their journey. This ancient badge is not only the key to a secret, but also the bond between them. Although the dangers of the journey have exhausted them, the symbols on the badge keep echoing in their minds, as if calling them to solve a deeper mystery.

One morning a month later, Qin Wentian was thinking quietly beside the campfire. The morning mist had not yet dissipated, and the surrounding forest seemed quiet and mysterious. He recalled every moment they had experienced in the temple, especially the power of the badge. It seemed that it was not only a key to unlock the ancient power, but also had other unsolved mysteries.

"We have to keep going." Ye Qilin's voice broke the silence of the early morning. He stood behind Qin Wentian, looking into the distance with a determined gaze. "The mystery in this forest is far more complicated than we imagined. We can't stop."

"You're right." Qin Wentian nodded, then turned to look at Xiaoxiao, who was preparing breakfast not far away. She looked a little dazed, obviously still thinking about the meaning of the badge.

"Xiaoxiao," Qin Wentian approached her and asked softly, "Are you still worried about the badge?"

Xiaoxiao raised her head, with a hint of doubt in her eyes. "I always feel that this badge is more than what we see. It seems to be guiding us somewhere, but I'm not sure where it is."

Ye Qilin came over and patted her on the shoulder. "No matter where it is, we will face it together." His tone was firm and gentle, as if he was promising her that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, he would always be by her side.

Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded. "Yes, let's solve this mystery together."

So the three of them packed up their luggage and continued to move deeper into the forest. They didn't know what was waiting for them ahead, but there was an inexplicable force in their hearts that drove them forward.

As they went deeper, the forest became strange and unfamiliar. The trees became taller and taller, the leaves became unusually large, and there was even a strange fragrance in the air. The tacit understanding between the three of them became stronger and stronger. They relied on each other and silently protected each other.

Suddenly, there was a fork in the road ahead. The road on the left was winding and seemed to lead into the depths of a dense forest; while the road on the right seemed wide and bright, and seemed to lead directly to an open plain.

"Which way should we take?" Xiaoxiao stopped and frowned, as if thinking about the pros and cons of the two paths.

Qin Wentian pondered for a moment, then said: "Although the road on the left looks dangerous, it may hide the answers we need. The road on the right is too smooth, which makes me feel uneasy."

Ye Qilin nodded in agreement. "I also think the road on the left is more likely the one we should take."

Xiao Xiao looked at the two of them and finally nodded in agreement. "Okay, let's take the road on the left."

They chose the left road and set off on an unknown journey. As they moved forward, the surrounding scenery became more and more bizarre. Some animals and plants that had never been seen before began to appear in the woods, and in some places the air was even filled with a faint fluorescence.

After walking for a while, they came to a lake covered with fluorescent light. The water was so clear that you could see the bottom, and countless tiny points of light were flashing in the water, as if a starry sky was reflected on the lake.

"This lake looks beautiful, but also a little weird." Xiaoxiao said in a low voice with a hint of wariness in her eyes.

"Indeed, the light spots in the water seem to be moving." Qin Wentian carefully observed the lake and found that the light spots were not static, but were flowing slowly, as if they had their own life.

Just as they were about to bypass the lake, ripples suddenly appeared in the middle of the lake, and then a dazzling light rose from the bottom of the lake and rushed straight into the sky. The three were stunned by this sudden change and took a few steps back, preparing to deal with unknown threats.

"What is this?" Ye Qilin tightly grasped the weapon in his hand, staring at the light intently.

The light gradually condensed into a human figure, which slowly emerged from the lake. It was a woman radiating light all over her body. Her face was shrouded in light, and her appearance could not be seen clearly. She stood on the lake, quietly looking at the three people, her eyes full of wisdom and majesty.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" The woman's voice was as melodious as the sound of nature, but with a hint of coldness.

Qin Wentian stepped forward and said respectfully: "We are travelers who are looking for the truth. There are many secrets hidden in this forest, and we just want to solve these mysteries."

The woman smiled slightly and turned her gaze to Xiao Xiao. "The badge in your hand is the key to unlocking these mysteries. But are you ready to take on this responsibility?"

Xiaoxiao held the badge tightly, her eyes determined. "We are willing to take on this responsibility, no matter how difficult the road ahead is."

The woman nodded, and then said softly: "Then, I will show you the way. This road leads to the deepest part of the forest, where the final answer you are looking for is hidden. But you must remember that every step is full of dangers and challenges. You must work together to reach the end."

Before she finished speaking, the woman's figure gradually faded away, and finally turned into a point of light and disappeared on the lake. The lake returned to its calm state, as if nothing had happened.

The three of them looked at each other, their hearts full of determination. Xiaoxiao held the badge tightly in her hand, feeling the weak energy coming from it. She knew that this journey was about to face a real test, and the three of them would face the challenge of fate together.
