Chapter 693 Abyss
Su Ye met an old man with a hurried expression in the central square of the town. He was panting and holding a cracked communication stone in his hand: "It's...it came from the cave in the east. There was something strange there, and there seemed to be something there." Awakened..."

"Cave? Take me to see it." Su Ye followed the old man and galloped eastward without saying a word. Outside the cave, the air was extremely heavy, and an ancient and powerful energy wave was about to stir underground, as if some ancient existence was about to break out of the ground.

At the same time, Li discovered some strange symbols in the residential area. These patterns emitted a faint black light, which was similar to the dark energy of the mysterious man before, but was older and more complex. She immediately contacted Su Ye and Allen through the communicator: "I found some ancient runes that may be guiding the dark power. This may not be just a coincidence."

"I also have new discoveries here. The source of the alarm is a hidden signal amplifier, which is set up near the cave to activate a certain mechanism. We must stop this." Allen's voice seemed particularly calm, but his words The speed increased significantly, indicating that the situation was urgent.

The three of them reunited and entered the cave that exuded an ominous atmosphere. The cave was dark and deep, and they could only rely on the light balls in their hands for illumination to go deeper step by step. Along the way, the runes on the rock walls gradually became denser, seeming to tell an ancient and forbidden history.

"Be careful, these runes are probably traps." Li warned, her fingers lightly touched one of them, and a tiny electric current immediately jumped in the air, showing that the energy behind these runes was extraordinary.

Just when they were about to reach the depths of the cave, a huge figure slowly appeared. It was a monster condensed from dark energy. Its appearance was accompanied by the earth shaking, and its eyes were like abyss, glowing with bloodthirsty light.

"It seems that this is what we are looking for." Su Ye held the sword tightly with a firm look in his eyes.

"This force is ancient and powerful. It may not be wise to confront it directly." Allen quickly analyzed, and the data jumping on his device showed that the energy index of this monster far exceeded expectations.

"Then what should we do?" Li asked, while her hands were already preparing the power of nature, just in case.

"I have a plan." After Su Ye thought for a moment, he whispered his plan to the two of them.

As the plan was implemented, Li set up a dense natural barrier around it, forming a temporary cage in an attempt to restrict the monster's movements. Allen operated his device and fired a series of interference pulses, trying to interfere with the flow of dark energy in the monster's body. Su Ye, on the other hand, took advantage of the monster's distraction to launch a surprise attack. The sword light cut through the darkness like lightning and hit the monster's vitals.

The battle was fierce and stalemate, and the three of them cooperated seamlessly. Although the monsters continued to fight back, they gradually showed a state of exhaustion in the face of their strategies. Finally, under a precise coordinated attack, the ancient and evil energy began to dissipate. The monster wailed and turned into wisps of black smoke, gradually disappearing into the air.

"Successful...but I think this is just the tip of the iceberg." Su Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead with a deep look.

"Indeed, this incident made us realize that the dark power is far more profound and complex than we imagined." Li nodded in agreement.

"We still need more information and preparation to completely solve all this." Allen added that he has already begun to plan the next research direction.

Just as the three were about to leave the cave and re-examine the entire incident, a soft light suddenly lit up deep in the cave, guiding them forward. Walking to the end of the light, I found an ancient mural depicting the eternal struggle between light and darkness, as well as the images of the three heroes, which seemed to hint at their future mission.

"Is this the guidance of fate?" Li asked softly.

"No matter what, as long as the light still exists, we will never give up." Su Ye replied with a firm tone.

In the center of the mural, under the totem of light and darkness, there seems to be some kind of password or clue hidden, which is thought-provoking. Su Ye, Li and Allen gathered in front of the mural, carefully studying every detail and trying to solve the mystery.

"Look here, these lines... look like part of a map." Allen pointed to a corner of the mural. The intricate patterns there were different from ordinary maps, but they vaguely revealed a sense of direction. "If I'm not mistaken, this points to an area we haven't explored yet."

"Map? This may be the key to guiding us to find the source of the dark power." Li's eyes flashed with curiosity and determination, "We have to set off immediately."

Just as the three of them were immersed in the excitement of solving the mystery, a cold voice echoed in the cave: "I found you, guardians of light."

The three of them suddenly turned around and saw that the mysterious man was standing behind them at some point. The look of pride on his face was completely different from before, as if he had some overwhelming power.

"You...why are you here?" Su Ye placed the sword across his chest vigilantly, ready to respond to an attack at any time.

"Do you think you can really defeat me so easily?" The mysterious man's figure began to distort, gradually blending into the surrounding shadows, leaving only his voice echoing in the cave, "I am the true inheritor of this ancient power. "What you are doing is just clearing obstacles for me."

As he disappeared, the darkness around him seemed to become thicker, and the air was so solid that it made it difficult to breathe. Suddenly, an invisible force surged in from all directions, trying to separate and surround the three of them.

"Keep the formation, don't scatter!" Su Ye shouted loudly, and at the same time released a light shield, tightly surrounding the three of them.

"This guy's power is much stronger than last time." Li frowned, maintaining the stability of the natural barrier while observing the movements around him.

"I'm trying to track his energy signal, hoping to find his exact location." Allen quickly tapped the keyboard of his device, and the waveform on the screen kept jumping, trying to capture the erratic energy source.

At this moment, a shadow suddenly shot out from the ground, aiming directly at Su Ye. However, Su Ye was already prepared. He turned the tip of his sword and faced the sneak attack. The sword light collided with the darkness, sparking a burst of sparks. At the same time, Li used the power of nature to weave a green net, trying to trap the mysterious man's figure, but he was soon broken free by strange means.

"It seems that we need a more direct method." Su Ye quickly made a judgment. He turned to Li and Allen and proposed a new strategy.

The three people quickly exchanged glances and reached a consensus. Li and Allen were responsible for attracting the mysterious man's attention, while Su Ye was lurking aside, looking for the opportunity to make the decisive blow. "Come out, hiding is not what a hero does!" Allen deliberately shouted provocation and fired a series of energy bombs. Although they were cleverly avoided by the mysterious man, he successfully attracted his attention.

Li used the power of nature to summon a wall of dense vines to limit the mysterious man's movement range. Under the restraint of the vines, the mysterious man's movements began to become slower, revealing a flaw.

In this brief moment, Su Ye flashed like a cheetah, passing through the shadows, and pointed the tip of the sword directly at the mysterious man's exposed weakness. A dazzling sword light cut through the darkness, and along with a painful roar, the figure of the mysterious man began to blur, and finally turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated in the air.

"This... it should be really solved this time." Su Ye gasped a little, but the determination in his eyes did not diminish.

"We cannot let down our guard. We must find the place shown in the mural as soon as possible and solve all this completely." Li reminded, her green eyes shining with unprecedented determination.

Allen checked his equipment, and the data on it showed that the mysterious man's energy signal had completely disappeared. "His energy source has been destroyed, but we still need to be careful. The secret of that mural may be the key to our fight against the darkness."

After solving the threat of the mysterious man, Su Ye, Li and Allen did not delay at all, and immediately followed the clues on the murals and embarked on a journey to find the source of the dark power. They passed through winding mountain roads, crossed desolate wilderness, and finally came to a hidden valley. The valley is filled with mist and ancient trees towering into the clouds, making it appear both mysterious and dangerous.

"The feeling here... is different." Li looked around and touched the tree trunks with her fingers, as if listening to the whispers of nature.

"The location shown on the mural should be around here." Allen checked the electronic map in his hand, which marked the coordinates parsed from the mural. "But the terrain here is complicated and we need to be extra careful."

As the three of them were exploring carefully, a sudden scream broke the tranquility of the valley. It was Allen. He accidentally triggered a hidden underground trap, and his entire body disappeared from the surface in an instant, leaving only panicked calls for help echoing in the air.

"Alan!" Su Ye and Li quickly rushed to the edge of the trap, only to see a bottomless black hole below. They could only vaguely hear Alan's response, which seemed weak and distant.

"I'm fine, I just broke my leg." Allen's voice was filled with pain, but he tried to stay calm.

"Don't be afraid, we will rescue you right away." Li immediately took action, her fingertips glowed with green light, trying to use plant roots to fix the edge of the trap as a support for rescue.

Su Ye quickly searched for available ropes and fixed points around him, while not forgetting to comfort Allen: "Hold on, we will pull you up as soon as possible."

While they were nervously rescuing, a gust of wind that did not belong to nature blew from the depths of the valley, and the surrounding fog began to gather, forming ghostly shadow creatures. They emitted ear-piercing screams and gradually surrounded the three of them.

"It seems that we are not welcome." Su Ye gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, the sword light flashed, and he was ready to fight.

"Concentrate, don't be distracted." Li reminded, the natural power gathered in her hands became stronger and stronger, building a temporary safety barrier for them.

The battle unfolded in a tense atmosphere. Su Ye used one enemy to defeat many, and his sword was as bright as lightning. Every slash was precise and powerful, cutting off the tentacles of the shadows. Li controlled the vines and flowers to form a living trap, and the shadows were trapped in the air. The creatures are trapped one by one. But even if the two cooperate seamlessly, the number of shadow creatures continues to increase, and Allen's situation becomes increasingly critical under the trap.

"This battle must end quickly!" Li said anxiously, as her physical strength and magic power were gradually depleted.

"I have a way." Su Ye had an idea. He deliberately sold a flaw to lure more shadow creatures to approach. Then at the most suitable time, the sword tip pointed upward, and an unprecedented bright energy burst out from the sword tip, like Like the sun, it dispersed the surrounding shadows, and most of the shadow creatures turned into nothingness in the strong light.

Taking advantage of this moment, Su Ye threw the rope he had prepared long ago to Allen, and at the same time worked hard with Li, and finally, with Allen's cooperation, pulled him out of the trap.

"Great, we succeeded." Allen was rescued safely. Although his leg was injured, his face still showed relief that he had survived the disaster.

"Thanks to you this time, Su Ye." Li looked at Su Ye gratefully. The tacit understanding between them did not require words.

"We are a team, and it is natural to support each other." Su Ye responded with a smile, and then looked at the mural clues that were pondering over and over again in his mind, "Now, let us move forward and uncover all the secrets of this valley and the dark power. secret."

Just as the three were preparing to embark on the journey again and follow the path deep inside the valley, the air suddenly became extremely heavy, as if foreshadowing the coming crisis. Su Ye was keenly aware of this unusual situation and quickly signaled Li and Allen to be more vigilant.

"Everyone, be careful, something is approaching." Su Ye whispered, his sword already in his hand, reflecting a faint light.

Li and Allen immediately stopped, and the three of them stood back-to-back in a circle, observing their surroundings vigilantly. Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps came from the dense forest, and then, several black shadows jumped out from all directions, the speed was staggering. What we encountered this time were no longer shadow creatures, but more physical monsters. Their bodies were twisted and fused from rocks and vegetation, making them appear both primitive and ferocious.

"What...what is this?" Allen's device sounded a noisy alarm. Obviously these monsters were not in his known database.

"No matter what it is, deal with the immediate situation first." Li's voice was calm and firm, and her hands once again shone with green light. The earth responded to her call, and thick vines emerged from the ground, trying to wrap around the approaching monster.

The monsters' reactions were unexpected. Their bodies avoided the vines flexibly. One even grabbed the vine directly and twisted it hard. The seemingly tough vine was easily broken. Seeing this, Su Ye rushed forward without hesitation, his sword shining like a dragon, and started a fierce confrontation with these unknown creatures.

The battle was extremely difficult, and the strength and toughness of the monsters were beyond imagination. Even with Su Ye's superb swordsmanship, he could barely resist the attack of one monster. Li used the power of nature to continuously create new defense and attack methods, but it only slowed down their pace. And Allen, despite his leg injury, is still trying to analyze the monster's weaknesses, emitting strings of electromagnetic pulses through his device in an attempt to interfere with the monster's actions.
