Chapter 709 Waves
The light faded away, and the rock returned to its usual silence, as if nothing had happened. The crowd was talking, but Li, Su Ye, and Allen were in turmoil.

"The Four Sacred Artifacts..." Li murmured to himself and looked into the distance. There was a more vast and unknown journey.

"What should we do?" Su Ye asked, with a little confusion in his tone, but more of determination.

Alan adjusted the equipment and answered confidently: "The first step is to go back to the starting point and look for clues from ancient books and legends. The combination of technology and magic will open up new horizons for us."

"Then let's go." Li nodded, with a determined look. They knew that the road ahead was full of unknowns and challenges, but as long as they had faith, nothing was impossible.

"Friends, are you ready for a new adventure?" Li turned around and gave a warm smile to the faces in the crowd.

"Come on, elemental guardians!" She was responded with thunderous cheers and blessings.

As night fell, there were waves of uneasy humming from the depths of the forest. The moonlight was blocked by thick clouds, and the earth seemed particularly dark. Li, Su Ye and Allen sat around the campfire, discussing the next plan, and there was a sense of foreboding in the air.

"I think we should be more vigilant. The forest is too quiet tonight." Li frowned, and the Heart of Elements in his hand emitted a soft light, bringing a little light to the surroundings.

Su Ye stopped writing, looked up at the dark woods, and nodded in agreement: "Indeed, since we defeated the dark forces, I always feel that something is secretly watching us."

Allen was debugging the device in his hand. The data on the screen kept jumping. Suddenly, an alarm sounded: "A large number of unknown creatures are detected approaching at a very fast speed. Prepare for battle!"

Before he finished speaking, the shadows around him seemed to come alive. Shadow beasts that looked like wolves but were larger and more ferocious approached from all directions. There was a dark green light flashing in their eyes as they stared at the three people greedily.

"Everyone, spread out and don't give them the chance to surround us!" Li shouted, and the elemental power gathered in his hands, turning into an emerald green barrier to block the first wave of attacks.

Su Ye drew his sword and shuttled through the herd of beasts like lightning. Wherever the sword passed, the shadow beasts fell down one after another, leaving behind a trail of blazing flames.

Allen used technological devices to create a series of light balls, which he accurately blasted at the shadow beasts. Each attack produced a dazzling light and a deafening explosion, effectively clearing a space.

The battle was fierce and brutal, but the three of them worked in perfect harmony, and the fusion of elemental power and technology showed unprecedented power. Just when they seemed to be gaining the upper hand, a deep and threatening voice sounded in the darkness.

"Hmph, a mere elemental guardian, how dare you disturb my plan." A black shadow slowly walked out of the woods. It was a mysterious man in a black robe. Unlike the black-robed man encountered before, this man exuded a more powerful dark aura.

"Who are you? What's your connection with the dark forces?" Li asked vigilantly, and the elemental barrier in his hand continued to expand just in case.

"I am the Lord of Shadows. Those you defeated were just my defeated enemies. Now, I will deal with you personally and take back everything that belongs to me." The voice of the Lord of Shadows was cold and ruthless.

The battle escalated again. The power of the Shadow Lord was overwhelming. He manipulated the shadows like a materialized weapon, and every attack made the air tremble. Although Li, Su Ye and Allen resisted tenaciously, they gradually felt powerless.

"We must find his weakness. This is not a solution!" Su Ye said loudly while panting.

Alan quickly operated the device, and the data scrolled rapidly: "His power comes from the dark core. If we can destroy it, maybe we can defeat him!"

“But the core is inside his body, how can we attack it?” Li frowned.

"I have a way." Su Ye's eyes flashed, and he recalled a description in an ancient legend, "Where light and darkness meet, there must be shadow, but at the same time, light is also born in the shadow. If I can find that point, I can use fire to directly attack his heart..."

"Su Ye, be careful!" Li and Allen reminded at the same time, because they saw the Lord of Shadows was about to launch a fatal attack.

Su Ye turned sharply, the tip of his sword pointed at himself, the flames burned wildly on his sword, forming a perfect spiral of light and shadow. At that moment, he seemed to blend into the light and shadow around him, and his speed reached the extreme.

"The flame of light, pierces the shadow!" As Su Ye roared, the sword pierced through the shadow and accurately hit the dark core in the chest of the Lord of Shadow. The moment the core was broken, huge dark energy scattered, and the Lord of Shadow roared in pain, and finally disappeared.

The battle was over and the three men collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, but their eyes revealed the joy of victory and relief.

"We... did it." Li forced a smile and watched the starry sky gradually brighten and dawn was about to come.

"It's true this time, and it will be true next time as well. As long as the three of us are here, the light will not disappear." Su Ye stretched out his hand and shook hands tightly with Li and Allen.

"However, this incident also reminds us that there are still many unknown dangers." Alan adjusted the equipment and prepared to record everything. "Keep moving forward until the world is full of light again."

By the campfire, the three of them smiled at each other. Although they were physically exhausted, their hearts were filled with unprecedented determination and courage.

Late at night, when the heat of the battle gradually faded, the jungle returned to its former tranquility. Li, Su Ye and Allen sat around the fading campfire, treating their wounds and discussing the next itinerary. At this moment, an unusually soft green light flickered in the grass not far away, attracting their attention.

Su Ye was the first to notice something was wrong. He gently nudged Li and Alan, signaling them to look over. The three exchanged glances and then carefully approached the light source. In a pile of withered leaves, a fist-sized transparent ball was emitting a warm and mysterious green light, and there seemed to be a microscopic creature dancing inside.

"This is..." Su Ye exclaimed softly, reaching out his hand and slowly approaching the small ball, as if afraid of disturbing the creature inside.

At this moment, the ball suddenly cracked, and a thumb-sized elf emitting faint light flew out of it. It circled around Su Ye's fingertips for a few circles, then gently landed in his palm, looking at this new friend curiously.

"Hey, little guy, where are you from?" Su Ye asked softly, his eyes full of tenderness. The elf seemed to understand what he meant. It circled around Su Ye and then made a series of pleasant notes, as if answering or singing.

"It seems that it has recognized you as its master, Su Ye." Li said with a smile, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She knew that in this world full of miracles, everything is possible.

"This must be a good sign. Perhaps the elf can bring us new power or guidance." Alan added that he has begun using equipment to try to capture the energy fluctuations emitted by the elf, hoping to find more clues.

Su Ye looked down at the elf in his palm, and an inexplicable warmth surged in his heart. "Then, I will call you Firefly from now on. I hope you can become a beacon on our bright road."

The elf seemed very satisfied with the name "Firefly". It flew around Su Ye happily for a few circles, then gently landed on his shoulder, adding a touch of warmth to the surroundings with its light.

"It seems that our team has added a new member." Li smiled, his eyes full of expectations for the future.

"This journey is becoming more and more interesting." Alan also rarely showed a relaxed smile. He is always full of desire to explore unknown journeys.

Just as the three of them were immersed in their new joy, the firefly suddenly flew off Su Ye's shoulder and flew towards the depths of the jungle, emitting a series of rapid and bright lights, as if leading them somewhere.

"Where does it want to take us?" Su Ye asked, his eyes full of curiosity about the new things that were about to come.

"No matter where it is, since you have chosen us, let's take a look together." Li said, standing up and packing up.

"We have technology, magic, and now we have the elves of nature. Our team can no longer be underestimated." Alan said as he adjusted his equipment to record this wonderful encounter.

Following the guidance of the fireflies, the three of them stepped deeper into the jungle, where an unknown adventure was waiting for them. In the jungle, the moonlight occasionally penetrated through the treetops, casting mottled light and shadows, adding a bit of mystery to this journey.

"Firefly, what's ahead?" Su Ye asked softly to the elf on his shoulder. He could feel that the further he went, the stronger the elemental fluctuations in the air became, as if something important was about to be revealed.

The firefly seemed to sense Su Ye's question. It turned a few times in the air, then flew higher, and its light became brighter, as if to say, "Follow me, the answer is just ahead."

Finally, they came to an open area with a clear pool in the center. Floating on the water was a gem that shone with a strange glow, and the light emitted by the gem was very similar to that of a firefly.

"Fragment of the heart of elements?" Li asked in surprise. She recognized the source of this power, which was the key that they were looking for as elemental guardians.

"It seems that our elf not only brought new companions, but also pointed us to a crucial path." Alan exclaimed, and he began to use instruments to analyze the information of the fragment.

Su Ye gently put down the firefly and let it fly freely over the pond. The elves danced happily around the fragment, as if celebrating this great discovery.

"This is not just a coincidence. The appearance of Firefly may be a test and trust of the elemental power in us." Li thought thoughtfully. She believed that every encounter had its profound meaning.

"Test and trust..." Su Ye repeated Li's words, his eyes more determined, "Then, we have no reason to betray this trust. No matter what we will face in the future, we will overcome it together."

"That's right." Alan put away his equipment, his eyes flashing with determination. "Now, we have the fragments of the Heart of Elements. The next step is to find the remaining parts and the four sacred artifacts. Every step is crucial."

"The clues to the four sacred artifacts may be hidden in the fragments of the Heart of Elements." Li picked up a leaf by the pond and gently touched the floating gem, as if communicating with it, "Let us calm down and listen to the voice of the elements."

The three of them sat around the pond, closed their eyes, and calmed down, trying to communicate with the fragment of the Elemental Heart through their minds. Time passed slowly, and the natural elements around them seemed to respond to their calls, and a faint elemental fluctuation filled the air.

"I... I saw it." Su Ye was the first to break the silence, with a gleam in his eyes. "Pictures flashed by, like ancient maps, pointing in four different directions."

"I felt it, too." Li nodded in confirmation, "Every direction contains the secret of a holy weapon. They are the keys to the final victory against darkness."

"Map? Come on, write them down." Alan quickly took out a portable drawing board and marked the possible locations of the four holy artifacts one by one according to Su Ye and Li's descriptions.

After completing the drawing, the three people reviewed this simple map again. Each mark seemed to carry a major mission and unknown challenge.

"Our first stop is the east, where the 'Mirror of Light' seems to be hidden." Li pointed to a mark at the easternmost end of the map, with determination flashing in his eyes.

"Then, without further ado, we will set out early tomorrow morning." Su Ye stood up and stretched his body, which was slightly stiff from sitting still for a long time. "Before that, we need to get enough rest and prepare for new challenges."

As the night deepened, fireflies danced around the camp, emitting a warm and stable light, as if silently guarding the three brave travelers. The three sat around the campfire, sharing past experiences and future aspirations, and their friendship and trust deepened in the firelight.

"No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are in the future, as long as the three of us are here, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome." After Li finished speaking, Su Ye and Allen smiled at each other, and a silent tacit understanding flowed between them.

"Yes, in order to protect the light and hope of this world, we will not hesitate." Su Ye reiterated with an extremely firm tone.

"With technology and magic, elements and nature, plus the light in our hearts, darkness will eventually have nowhere to hide." Alan added, his words full of confidence in the combination of science and magic.

As the conversation became less frequent, the three people gradually fell asleep under the light of the campfire. In their dreams, they were dreaming of the upcoming adventure, the confrontation with the unknown, and the magnificent chapter of light triumphing over darkness.

Just as the night was about to turn over and dawn was about to break, a gentle sound came from outside the camp. The firefly seemed to sense something and flew from Su Ye's shoulder to the direction where the sound came from. Under its guidance, a figure slowly walked into the camp. It was the young girl from before. She held an ancient book in her hands, with admiration and expectation in her eyes.
