Chapter 706 Herd
Su Ye rubbed the wound on his leg and said with a smile: "Remember how we escaped from the shadow beasts? As long as we are together, nothing is impossible."
The three of them smiled at each other. The warm firelight illuminated their faces, reflecting their endless courage and indomitable will.
"Okay, we've rested enough. Let's continue our journey tomorrow morning." Li stood up and looked up at the deep night sky. The stars were shining brightly, as if guiding them.
"Yes, there are more challenges waiting for us." Alan agreed with a firm look in his eyes.
"By the way, Li," Su Ye suddenly spoke with a slightly mischievous tone, "If you really find the Heart of Elements, what will you do with it?"
Li thought for a moment, and a gentle arc appeared on the corner of her mouth: "I think I will use it to protect the peace of this continent, so that everyone can live in peace and no longer be afraid."
"What about me?" Allen said, "I will use technology to record all of this, so that people in the future will know that there was once a group of warriors who protected this world with wisdom and courage."
"As for me," Su Ye smiled, "I just want to find my own adventure story, and then share it with my friends, so that these legends will be sung forever."
"It seems that the wishes of each of us are so simple yet grand." Li sighed, her eyes more determined against the backdrop of the bonfire, "Whether it is protecting, recording, or singing, it is all our deep love for this world."
"Then, let us carry on with these wishes and move forward." Alan raised the mechanical device in his hand, as if holding up a spark of hope. "Tomorrow, no matter what awaits us is an icy test or an unknown monster, we will write our legend with our actions."
As the night deepened, everything fell silent except for the occasional sound of the wind and the roar of wild animals in the distance. The three of them took turns keeping watch, and the conversations around the fire gradually faded, and finally returned to the breathing of people in their dreams.
The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the cold air and shone on the young and energetic faces of the three people, a new day and new challenges also arrived.
"Are you ready?" Li asked softly, the sword in his hand flashing, as if he couldn't wait to face the challenge ahead.
"Of course." Alan adjusted his equipment, his eyes flashing with curiosity about the unknown and desire to conquer.
Su Ye smiled slightly. Although the injury on his leg had not yet fully recovered, the light in his eyes was brighter than anyone else's: "Nothing makes me more excited than embarking on an adventure with you guys."
They set out on a journey to the depths of the ice cave. The scenery along the way became more and more precipitous, but the three people's faith became more and more firm. A low roar came from the cracks in the glacier, indicating that they were getting closer and closer to their goal.
"Look over there!" Su Ye pointed to a huge ice wall carved with ancient runes and emitting a faint blue light. It was a secret door leading to the core area.
"The Heart of Ice should be hidden behind it." Li speculated. The tip of her sword gently touched the ice wall, as if she was feeling the pulse of ancient power.
"Let me try to open it." Allen stepped forward, took out a series of sophisticated tools from his backpack, and began to decode the runes. On the side, Su Ye and Li looked around vigilantly, guarding against possible emergencies.
"There's movement!" Su Ye suddenly exclaimed, and saw a huge snow wolf covered with frost slowly walking out not far away. Its dark green eyes stared at them, full of vigilance.
"Looks like we have to fight quickly." Li whispered, sword in hand, ready to fight at any time.
However, unexpectedly, the snow wolf did not attack immediately, but lowered its head, as if examining the three people. After a moment, it slowly stepped back a few steps and crouched in front of the ice wall, with a look of expectation in its eyes.
"This is..." Su Ye was surprised.
"It seems to be guiding us." Alan observed the behavior of the snow wolf, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. "Perhaps it is one of the guardians and recognizes us."
Li took a step forward, the tip of the sword lightly touched the ground, and bowed slightly to the snow wolf: "We have no ill intentions, we just want to find the heart of the element to protect this continent."
The snow wolf growled, and a hint of understanding seemed to flash in its dark green eyes. Then, it used its huge body to hit the ice wall. Surprisingly, the ice wall slowly opened under this blow, revealing a tunnel behind it, leading directly to the depths of the ice cave.
"Incredible..." Li muttered to himself, looking at the Snow Wolf with eyes full of respect.
“This may be our first trial, and we have been recognized by the guardian,” Alan said with emotion.
The three of them moved forward along the newly opened passage. As they went deeper, the coldness around them became more and more oppressive. However, in their hearts, there was a warm power flowing. It was the flame of faith and friendship, which was enough to withstand any severe cold.
When they finally stood at the deepest part of the ice cave, they saw a blue crystal shining with dazzling light - the Ice Heart. It was quietly suspended in the air, exuding breathtaking beauty and power.
"We did it." Li said softly, with surprise and disbelief in his eyes.
"But this is just the beginning." Su Ye reminded, his eyes already looking into the distance, where more challenges were waiting for them.
"Yes, next, it's the Heart of Fire and the Heart of Wind." Allen clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with an unyielding light, "For this world, for our dreams, we will definitely be able to find them."
After passing through the ice cave and obtaining the ice heart, the three-person team embarked on a more difficult journey. The next destination is the crater of an active volcano in the far south, where it is said that the scorching heart of fire is buried. Compared with the cold and dead silence of the northern ice field, the southern land is full of vitality and danger. The anger of the volcano seems to be the most direct warning to the invaders.
Walking on the edge of the boiling lava rift, the air was filled with the smell of sulfur. The high temperature made sweat continuously drip from the foreheads of the three people. Even wearing special protective clothing, it was impossible to completely isolate the scorching heat from the ground.
"It's simply another world here." Li wiped his forehead and stared at the volcano in front of him that was constantly erupting magma, feeling both anticipation and nervousness.
"That's right, if we are not careful, we will become part of the volcano." Su Ye joked, trying to ease the tense atmosphere, but his eyes revealed his seriousness about the upcoming challenge.
Alan operated his mechanical detector and analyzed the surrounding environment: "According to my instruments, the Heart of Fire should be located in the core area of the volcano. But the question is how to get there through these active lava flows." Just as they were discussing strategies, the ground suddenly shook, and a roar came from inside the volcano. Then, a huge lava beast rose out of the magma, its body covered with flowing magma, its eyes like two flames that would never go out.
"Prepare for battle!" Li shouted, and the sword in his hand was instantly unsheathed, flashing silver light, pointing directly at the terrible enemy.
The lava beast roared and rushed towards the three people. Every time it stepped on the ground, the surrounding lava boiled. Li jumped and dodged flexibly, while looking for opportunities to counterattack; Allen activated the protective shield and used various technological weapons to try to contain it; Su Ye relied on his keen senses to guide the safest movement route.
"Alan, try using the freeze bomb!" Li shouted while dealing with the lava beast.
Allen immediately adjusted the device, and the freezing bombs hit the lava beast accurately. Although the effect was short-lived, it also gave Li a precious opportunity to attack. She seized the opportunity and slashed with a sword. The sharp blade cut a crack on the hard shell of the lava beast.
"It's retreating!" Su Ye discovered that the lava beast was gradually retreating under continuous attacks, as if it felt threatened.
Just when they thought the battle was over, the Lava Beast suddenly burst into an even stronger light all over its body, and magma gushed out, forming a huge fire shield that surrounded itself.
"Oh no, it's gathering energy!" Alan said alertly, his mechanical device running frantically, trying to find a way to crack it.
"Wait, Lava Beast," Li said in a deep voice. She put away her sword and slowly walked towards the flames that enveloped the Lava Beast. "You are guarding the Heart of Fire. We are not here to plunder, but to seek balance. If we lose balance, your home will no longer exist."
Unexpectedly, Lavamon seemed to understand Li's words. The flames gradually weakened and finally disappeared completely. Lavamon also turned into a pool of magma and merged into the earth, leaving a path leading to the core of the volcano.
The three of them looked at each other, and they were once again amazed by Li's bravery and sincerity. Following the new path, they finally found the heart of fire at the core of the volcano.
"This is not only a symbol of fire, but also the passion and power of life." Alan exclaimed, his eyes flashing with awe for the mysteries of nature.
After collecting the Heart of Fire, they did not stay for too long, because there was another important goal waiting for them - to find the Heart of Wind. This journey was destined to be full of unknowns and challenges, but they firmly believed that as long as they had faith, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.
"Next, we need to find the area of wind." Li said, looking firmly toward the distant sky, where the clouds were rolling, as if calling them.
"Whether it is a storm or a clear sky, we will move forward courageously." Su Ye smiled, his words were full of infinite longing for the future.
And Alan couldn't wait to adjust his mechanical device, ready for the next adventure: "Then let's go against the wind and explore the secrets of the heart of the wind."
On the way to pursue the Heart of Wind, the three passed through a vast grassland, which was once the territory of the wind. The legendary Heart of Wind was hidden on the highest mountain, and only the true brave could hear the guidance of the wind. When the residents of the grassland heard about their purpose, they all looked at them with surprise and admiration.
"Look, those are the warriors who are looking for the heart of the elements!" A shepherd boy pointed at the three people in the distance, his eyes full of longing.
“I can’t believe they found the Heart of Ice and the Heart of Fire.” The old man next to him stroked his beard, his words full of surprise.
"Yes, it is said that the girl can communicate with animals. Even the lava beasts in the volcano are moved by her." Another girl excitedly shared the news she heard with her companions, with admiration shining in her eyes.
As the news spread, more and more passers-by gathered, some providing food and water, while others shared the clues they knew about the Heart of Wind. Although most of them were just ancient rumors, they also filled this journey with warmth and hope.
“Thank you for your help. With everyone’s blessings, we will find the Heart of Wind and protect this continent.” Li bowed deeply to the crowd. Her words and actions once again won admiration and encouragement.
Finally, on a moonlit night, they set up camp at the foot of a steep mountain. At dawn the next day, the three began to climb. The mountain road was rugged and the strong wind was raging. Every step was like fighting against the power of nature.
"In such an environment, how could the Heart of Wind be found easily?" Su Ye panted, but his tone was more of excitement about the challenge.
"The wind is free, and its tests will not be directly visible obstacles." Alan pushed his glasses, with a thoughtful gleam in his eyes.
Just as they climbed halfway up the mountain, an unprecedented strong storm suddenly hit, almost blowing them off the edge of the cliff.
"Hold on!" Li shouted, her voice almost drowned out by the sound of the wind, but her sword had already penetrated deeply into the crevice of the rock, becoming a temporary anchor.
"This wind seems to be trying to tell us something." Su Ye squinted his eyes, trying to find the answer in the storm.
The storm gradually subsided, and the three found a hidden cave in front of them. The wind gathered and dispersed at the cave, and there seemed to be a wonderful rhythm.
"Heart of Wind... is it here?" Li asked softly. She could feel that the wind here was different from other places. It seemed to be expressing welcome and expectation.
Entering the cave, it was full of strange wind patterns, and in the center was a crystal clear green gem, which was the Heart of Wind. But it was surrounded by a complex wind magic array, so it was obviously not easy to obtain it.
"We need to unlock this magic circle. We can't take it by force." Alan observed carefully and began to try to decipher the principles of the formation.
After some effort, they discovered that the protection mechanism of the Heart of Wind was actually to imitate the cycle of wind in nature, and it needed to be released by simulating the changes in wind direction in the four seasons.
"Come east at the Spring Equinox, go south at the Summer Solstice, go west at the Autumnal Equinox, and go north at the Winter Solstice." Li recited the spell to unlock the formation. At the same time, the three of them stood in the corresponding directions in the order of the changing seasons, feeling the flow of the wind with their hearts.
As the last syllable fell, the magic circle around the Heart of Wind shone brightly, then gradually dissipated, and the gem representing freedom and change slowly landed in Li's palm.
"Success!" Su Ye cheered. He felt unprecedented strength and vitality surging in his body.
