Chapter 701 Runes
Li took the rag. The symbols on it were ancient and mysterious, and seemed to resonate with the light emitted by the Eternal Leaf. Her eyes suddenly became extremely serious: "This is very important. Thank you, little friend. We will study it carefully."

The child nodded with satisfaction, skipped away, and looked back as he walked, his eyes full of admiration for the guardians.

Li turned to the guardian, with a hint of excitement in her tone: "This may be a clue to the secret of the origin of the Eternal Leaf or its power."

Hearing this, Su Ye raised his lips, put his hand on the hilt of the sword, and his eyes flashed with the desire to fight: "Then, let's explore these clues together tomorrow and uncover the secrets hidden between light and darkness."

The night wind blew gently, and the light of the Eternal Leaf seemed even warmer and more mysterious in the night. The four of them sat in the light, discussing the next plan, occasionally mixed with the whispers and admiring eyes of passers-by, they were full of confidence and expectations for the Guardian Team.

"It seems that this is not just the story of a leaf, but a part of our entire life journey." Alan adjusted the instrument with a confident smile on his face. "No matter what unknowns lie ahead, I am sure that we will write our own legend."

The guardian's eyes were gentle and deep, and his last words seemed to bring this night's gathering to an end: "Yes, our journey has just begun. Remember, every challenge is a step to growth. As long as we hold on to light and work together, there is nothing we cannot overcome."

"But before that, I think we need to solve a problem first." Li raised the scraps of cloth in his hand and showed them to everyone, "These symbols may hold the key to solving the mystery of the Eternal Leaf."

Allen immediately became interested. He quickly pulled out a small analyzer from his backpack and began to scan the piece of cloth. "Let me see what secrets are hidden behind these symbols. Ancient civilizations, lost technologies... There are always some clues that can be captured by modern technology."

Su Ye seemed more cautious: "While we are investigating further, we must also be careful. If this piece of cloth is really some kind of guidance, it means that someone or some force is also looking for the Eternal Leaf, and may even want to use its power."

The guardian nodded in agreement, his tone full of vigilance for the future: "Indeed, wherever there is light, there must be shadow. We must be one step faster than our opponents and seize the initiative."

As the four were discussing the new clues, a passing merchant overheard their conversation and stopped in disbelief: "Are you telling the truth? Is the legendary Leaf of Light really here? My God, this sounds like something out of a fairy tale."

Li smiled and explained to him: "Behind every seemingly impossible legend, there is a real foundation. The Eternal Leaf does exist, and it means a lot to us."

The vendor nodded repeatedly, the shock in his eyes gradually turning into curiosity. "If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know! Being able to participate in such a big event, even if it's just a little bit, will be enough for me to brag to my grandchildren for a long time when I go back."

Alan smiled and fiddled with his tools. "Thank you for your kindness, my friend. Perhaps one day, when your grandchildren ask about heroes' stories, you can say that you stood with us and fought against the darkness."

At this moment, Su Ye suddenly pointed to the sky, and several meteors streaked across the sky, as if foreshadowing the upcoming changes: "Look, even the stars are guiding us. No matter what the future holds, we will move forward bravely."

Li looked at the Guardian, with a determined light in his eyes: "Master Guardian, we are ready. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are on this road, as long as we work together, nothing can stop us from revealing the truth."

The guardian looked deeply at the three people. His eyes were filled with pride and infinite longing for the future. "Then, let us set out on the journey again. Not to become a legend, but to protect this world, for everyone who lives in light and hope."

Under the night sky, the Guardian team surrounded the Eternal Leaf, and the declaration of setting off again echoed softly in the night wind. Passersby looked at their backs in amazement, admiration, or envy, as if they saw an irresistible force leading everyone to bravely move towards the light and the unknown.

"Let's go, friends." The Guardian said softly, his voice carrying an unquestionable power, "We must uncover more secrets before dawn."

The group left the crowd's sight and walked towards the hut on the edge of the town, which was their temporary base and where the Eternal Leaf was placed and studied. Allen had already begun planning how to decode the mysterious symbols, while Li and Su Ye were discussing the next action plan.

"Where do you think these symbols might lead us?" Li asked Su Ye, his brows full of thought.

Su Ye pondered for a moment and replied, "It's hard to say. They look ancient and powerful, and may lead us to find more about the lost history of the Eternal Leaf, or even its creator."

While they were discussing, Alan's cheers suddenly came from the cabin: "Found it! These symbols are surprisingly similar to the records in an ancient book! This book describes an ancient city that is said to hide the secret of controlling nature and magical forces."

Upon hearing this, the guardian quickly walked into the hut and looked solemnly at the ancient book in Alan's hand. "Where is the city? We must leave immediately."

Allen pointed to a blurry map in the book, excited but a little nervous, "Here, in the heart of the wasteland, is the ruins of the forgotten city - Atlantis."

Li's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Atlantis, the legendary mysterious place. If we can really find clues to the Eternal Leaf there, perhaps we can uncover its true power and why we were chosen to protect it."

Outside the hut, several passersby gathered curiously and whispered. A young woman couldn't help but ask: "Are you going to Atlantis? I heard that there are many unknown dangers there. Are you really ready?"

Su Ye turned around, smiling confidently and warmly, "We exist to face those dangers. Only by understanding the truth can we better protect this world."

"What an exciting adventure!" a young man said with emotion, "I hope that one day I can fight for a greater cause like you."

"Everyone can be the hero of their own story." Li responded gently, and her words inspired everyone around her.

As the night deepened, the town gradually returned to tranquility, but the Guardian team was ready to embark on the journey to find Atlantis. On the eve of departure, Li, Su Ye, Alan and the Guardians sat around the Eternal Leaf and confirmed each other's preparation and determination for the last time.

"We are about to step into the unknown," the Guardian's voice was calm but powerful. "Remember, no matter what happens, we must believe in each other and believe that light will eventually defeat darkness."

"We are ready." Su Ye clenched the sword in his hand, his eyes firm, "For the light, for the truth, no matter how dangerous the road ahead is."

Li touched the Eternal Leaf lightly, as if she could draw strength from it. "I am ready too. For the sake of our common home, nothing can make us retreat." Alan patted his mechanical backpack, his eyes flashing with the light of technology. "As long as I am here, any difficulties will be overcome one by one. Let us use wisdom and courage to open the door to the truth."

Just as the four were about to set off, a white-haired old man slowly approached, holding an old amulet in his hand, his eyes full of respect, "This is an amulet passed down from my ancestors, it is said to protect the holder from evil. Please accept it, and may it add some protection to your journey."

Su Ye took the amulet and bowed deeply to the old man. "We will never forget your generosity. We will carry your blessing and move forward bravely."

"Thank you, grandpa." Liye nodded gratefully. The warmth of the amulet was transmitted through his fingertips, as if the ancient power was inspiring them.

As the time of departure approached, the residents of the town gathered spontaneously to form a small support team. The children's eyes sparkled with yearning for adventure, the adults' faces were full of worry and expectation, and the old people were talking in low voices, recalling the heroic legends of the past, as if they saw the reappearance of the past glory in these young guardians.

"You must come back safely!" a woman said while choking with sobs, her eyes filled with reluctance.

"We will. Thank you for your concern." Allen responded. His smile was as sunny as ever, trying to ease the heavy atmosphere around him. "Wait for our good news. We will bring back the most brilliant story."

The guardian looked at everyone, his voice solemn and full of affection: "Every bit of your trust and support is our driving force to move forward. We are not only for ourselves, but also for every heart in this land. No matter what secrets Atlantis hides, we will uncover it and protect our home."

With the crowd watching, the Guardian team set out on the road to Atlantis. The starlight was shining brightly, illuminating their determined figures, and every step seemed to speak of courage and determination. In the night wind, passers-by whispered from time to time:

"Can they really find the lost city?"

"If it's those three, and that mysterious guardian, I think nothing is impossible."

"I really hope I can go on an adventure with them. How exciting it would be!"

"When they return victorious, we must celebrate."

On the journey to the unknown, Li, Su Ye, Alan and the guardian constantly exchanged ideas with each other, feeling nervous and excited about the upcoming challenges. Along the way, they met all kinds of passers-by, some of whom provided information and some helped. Every interaction gave them a new understanding of the world.

"Are you going to Atlantis?" a traveling merchant asked curiously, "That place is a legendary maze. It is said that few people who enter can come out."

Su Ye smiled, his eyes sharp, "That's why it's worth our investigation. Someone has to step forward, right?"

Li nodded and added gently: "We are not only here to solve the mystery of the Eternal Leaf, but also to prevent possible disasters and protect the innocent."

"Come on, warriors!" The businessman gave a thumbs up, watched them go away, and prayed silently for them in his heart.

In this way, after several days of trekking, they finally arrived at the entrance of the ruins of Atlantis. In front of the ancient city gate, the wind and sand were raging, as if telling the past glory and sadness. The guardian took a deep breath and solemnly declared: "We are here, the truth of Atlantis is hidden behind this door."

Li held the sword tightly in his hand, his eyes firm, "No matter what is inside, we must face it. As long as we are together, there is nothing we can't overcome."

Su Ye and Allen exchanged a firm look, and then the four of them walked side by side, pushed open the heavy city gate, and stepped into the land forgotten by time.

As they go deeper, the mysteries of the ancient city are revealed one by one, and at the same time, the hidden crisis begins to emerge. But in front of the Guardian team, every challenge is just a stepping stone to the ultimate truth.

Just as they were about to touch the core secret, an ancient prophecy echoed in the empty ruins, foreshadowing that a greater trial was waiting for them...

"Guardians of light, only through justice and fearlessness in your heart can you awaken the dormant power and save the balance of the world. But be vigilant, darkness will never be silent, it is quietly weaving a web, trying to devour everything."

As the words were spoken, the entire ruins of Atlantis seemed to tremble, foreshadowing that a battle that would determine the fate of the world was about to begin.

"It seems that the real battle has just begun." Li's tone was more resolute than ever before.

"Then let us get ready and meet the challenge!" Su Ye drew out his sword and pointed the tip of the sword at the sky. The starlight seemed to echo it, flashing with the light of hope.

"No matter what the future holds, we will face it together." Allen's words were full of determination and conviction.

The guardian looked into the distance, his eyes that had experienced countless storms now brighter: "Justice and light coexist, we will not let darkness swallow this land."

"The guardian is right." A warm smile appeared on Li's face, which was the trust in his companions and the expectation for the future. "As long as we have light in our hearts, darkness will have nowhere to hide."

At this time, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence in the ruins. A ragged young man ran up to them breathlessly, with fear and expectation in his eyes: "Are you warriors who are here to find the truth? I know a secret passage that can avoid those deadly traps and lead directly to the core area, but it's too dangerous and almost no one dares to try it."
