Chapter 722 Rainbow

"This is not just a rainbow, it's the legendary 'Bridge of Hope'. Ancient prophecies mentioned that only those who are truly chosen by fate can witness such a miracle." Klein stared at the colorful bridge spanning the sky, his heart surging with unprecedented excitement.

A fleet of merchant ships passing by saw this scene and stopped sailing. The crew members pointed to the sky in surprise and talked about it.

"Look, what is that! I have never seen such a spectacular sight in my life!"

"It's the 'Bridge of Hope'! My grandfather once told me that whoever sees it will lead the world into a new era."

"Are those young men really the legendary warriors?"

The captain of the merchant ship was a middle-aged man with a frosted face. He took off his hat and saluted silently in the direction of Klein and his companions: "May the gods bless you, young heroes."

With the addition of the Heart of the Ocean, Klein and his team became more powerful, but at the same time, they also clearly realized that the road ahead would not be easy. On the ship, they sat together and made plans for the next step.

"According to ancient records, the third holy object seems to be related to the depths of the Flaming Mountain. The environment there is harsh, and it is said that even the most heat-resistant dragon cannot stay there for long." Alvin was flipping through a tattered map, tapping his fingertips lightly on a location marked on the map.

"Flaming Mountain?" Sebastian frowned. "That's a place where even the map will burn. How can we get in?"

"With the guidance of the Heart of the Ocean and the Heart of Light, I believe nothing is impossible." Klein's eyes were firm. "Also, the guardian said that the holy relic is closely linked to our destiny. Now that the road has been paved, we must go on."

At this time, Su Mo suddenly interrupted: "I read in a book that to enter the Flame Mountain, you need an ancient rune. The shield made with it can temporarily withstand the high temperature."

"Rune? This sounds like something from the School of Magic." Klein thought for a moment, "Perhaps, we can go to Iris City to look for it. It is a treasure trove of knowledge and we should be able to find the information we need there."

The decision was made, and the sailboat turned around and headed towards the city of Iris. Along the way, their deeds spread quickly like wildfire, and people began to call them "Sacred Relic Hunters". Their courage and determination inspired everyone who heard their story.

Arriving in Iris City, they first visited the oldest library in the city, where the librarian was an old man who looked a hundred years old but had sharp eyes. After hearing their purpose, the old man pondered for a moment and pulled out a dusty book from the depths of the bookshelf.

"Regarding the runes of the Flame Mountain, you are lucky. This "Flame Realm Chronicle" may be able to help you. But remember, knowledge is power, but also responsibility."

In the library, they studied day and night and finally found a way to make a shield rune. At the same time, they also learned that the road to the Flame Mountain was extremely dangerous and required courage and perseverance beyond ordinary people.

After completing the preparations, they set out on their journey to the Flaming Mountain. On the way, they met an old merchant who was on his way to the city of Iris. When he saw them from afar, he showed an incredible expression on his face.

"You are the young warriors who are looking for the holy relics, right? I heard your story, it really makes my blood boil! If there is still hope in the world, it is you."

The old businessman's words were like a shot in the arm for their journey, further strengthening their determination to move forward.

"Thank you for your encouragement. Every bit of support is our driving force to move forward." Klein responded with a smile, his eyes gleaming with determination. His companions also nodded in greeting, their hearts filled with warmth.

As they went deeper into the Flame Mountain area that no one dared to explore, the surrounding environment became increasingly harsh, and the temperature in the air seemed to be able to scorch their breath. They followed the guidance in the ancient books, used the newly learned rune knowledge to make a shield, and carefully crossed the scorching desert, advancing into the depths of the Flame Mountain.

"I can't believe we are here." Ivan sighed as she walked, sweat streaming down her cheeks, but her eyes were filled with unprecedented excitement.

"As long as there is light in your heart, even the hottest road can become a bridge to victory." Klein said as he gently swung the blade of light in his hand. The heat waves around him seemed to be pushed back a little by this pure power.

At this time, a strange creature covered with fiery red scales suddenly jumped out from the crevice of the rock. Its eyes were as hot as lava and it exhaled bursts of burning breath. It obviously regarded them as invaders.

"Get ready for battle!" Sebastian growled, and powerful strength burst out of his body. He stood firmly at the front of the team, his muscles bulging, as if he was ready to withstand the fierce attacks from the fire creatures at any time.

However, Klein raised his hand, signaling everyone to stay calm. "Wait, we are here to find the holy relic, not the enemy." He tried to communicate with the creature in a calm tone. Surprisingly, the creature slowly retreated, as if it understood what he meant, and then turned around and disappeared into the crevice.

"This..." Su Mo's eyes widened in disbelief, "It just left like that?"

"All things have spirits. Perhaps it sensed the resonance of the holy objects on us." Klein explained, and he became more convinced that they were on the right track.

Soon after, they came to a huge crater, from which hot magma was spewing out from time to time. In the center of the magma lake, there was a ruby ​​emitting dazzling light suspended. It was the third holy object they were looking for - the "Heart of Fire".

"It looks easy, but it's actually extremely dangerous." Sebastian murmured. Even his strength seemed insignificant in the face of such high temperatures.

Klein stared at the Heart of Fire, with a strong sense of mission surging in his heart. "We must get it for this continent."

They used the rune shield to cross the lava lake with difficulty, and every step was like walking on thin ice. Finally, Klein reached out and touched the "Heart of Fire". Instantly, a hot and energetic force surged into his body, and a light flashed in his eyes, as if he had reached some kind of contract with the Heart of Fire.

When they returned safely with the "Heart of Fire", the whole city of Iris was in an uproar. People crowded in the streets and alleys, talking about it.

“Look at those young people, they really did it!”

"Two of the three holy relics have been collected. They must be the legendary savior!"

"I have never seen such a scene. Their power is enough to change the world!"

Back on the ship, the four sat on the deck with tired but satisfied smiles on their faces. They knew that there was a bigger battle waiting for them, and the dark forces would never sit idly by.

"Now, there is only one holy relic left." Su Mo flipped through the map, his eyes fixed on a mark, "It is hidden in the deepest part of the Dark Forest. It is said that it is the territory of fairies and ghosts."

"No matter what lies ahead, we must move forward." Klein stood up and stared at the gradually darkening sky, "Because the light is always worth pursuing."

At this moment, a gust of wind blew by, carrying unknown whispers, as if it had high hopes for the adventure they were about to embark on.

"Then let's set off, towards the last holy relic, towards a bright future!" Sebastian raised his arms and shouted, his voice full of power and passion, echoing on the sea and stirring up new waves.

The sailboat set sail again, heading towards the unknown dark forest, leaving behind legends and hopes along the way.

On the way, they encountered a group of small fishing boats that were hiding from the storm. The fishermen looked at Klein and his boat with awe in their eyes. "Look at that boat. It's carrying not only heroes, but also the hope of our continent!" An old fisherman said to the child beside him, and the child's eyes sparkled with longing.

“Are they really looking for holy relics? Like in the storybooks?” the child asked, with a gleam of curiosity in his eyes.

The old fisherman smiled and nodded. "That's right, kid. They are heading to the most dangerous places, doing things that we dare not even think about. Remember, this is what courage and faith look like."

The sailboat continued to move forward. When they reached the edge of the Dark Forest, the dense treetops almost blocked the sky, and the sunlight could only be scattered on the ground. An old man who was picking herbs on the outskirts of the forest saw Klein and his party, stopped his work, and his eyes were filled with shock and blessing. "You are the young people who are looking for holy relics, right? The Dark Forest is full of dangers. Even the most experienced hunters are reluctant to go deep into it. May the elves in the forest guide your path."

Klein thanked the old man gratefully. They knew that every step was full of unknowns and dangers, but it was precisely because of this that their journey was given extraordinary significance.

As we went deeper into the dark forest, the sounds around us gradually became weirder. The occasional elf singing and ghost whispers intertwined, making people nervous. Ivan gently drew out his sword and looked around vigilantly, "The atmosphere here makes me feel uneasy."

“It’s normal to feel uneasy,” Klein comforted him, “but remember, we are not alone. We have each other, those who believe in us, and the power given to us by the holy relics.”

As they moved forward cautiously, a group of creatures cursed by the forest suddenly appeared. They were distorted, their eyes were fierce, and they attacked them with their fangs and claws. Sebastian roared and rushed into the enemy camp first. His power seemed to be integrated with nature at this moment, and every swing brought a gust of wind.

During the battle, Klein used the power of the "Heart of Light" and the "Heart of Fire" to create a bright and hot protective shield that tightly surrounded the team. The cursed creatures howled in pain and retreated as soon as they came into contact. This battle attracted more attention from the depths of the forest. Whether it was the elves or other unknown beings, they all expressed surprise and curiosity about this power.

After the battle, they continued to go deeper until they came to an open area with an ancient stone tablet in the center. Mysterious symbols were engraved on the stone tablet, which seemed to guide something.

"This is the last clue." Su Mo said softly. He gently ran his fingers across the lines on the stone tablet. Suddenly, a soft light shot out from the stone tablet and pointed directly to the deepest part of the forest.

"Follow the light." Klein said firmly. They followed the guidance of the light and finally came to a hidden cave. A light blue light shone through the cave. That was the location of the "Eye of Wisdom", the third and final holy relic.

The moment Klein reached out to touch the holy object, a gentle yet vast power of knowledge surged into his mind. He seemed to be able to see through the past and present and predict the future. At the same time, the outside world began to change. The curse of the forest was lifted, and all things revived and were full of vitality.

"We did it!" Alvin cheered, her eyes filled with tears of excitement and infinite expectations for the future.

Back on the deck, it was already late at night. The four of them sat closely together, their faces showing both exhaustion and the joy of accomplishment. "Now, all the holy relics have been collected," Klein said, with a barely perceptible heaviness in his tone, "but I know this is just the beginning."

"Begin?" Sebastian raised an eyebrow.

“Yes,” Klein’s eyes penetrated the darkness, as if he saw the battle in the distance. “The real battle is still waiting for us. The dark forces will not give up easily. But as long as we unite, light will surely defeat darkness.”

"You're right, Klein." Ivan nodded, his eyes firm. "We have proven that even when faced with the impossible, we can create possibilities."

"So, what's the next plan?" Su Mo asked, his fingers tapping lightly on the deck, showing his inner urgency.

Klein pondered for a moment, then said, "First, we need to merge the power of these relics and awaken their true potential. Only in this way can we have enough power to fight against the coming darkness."

"Fusion of holy objects? It sounds magical and dangerous." Sebastian's tone contained both excitement and worry.

"Indeed, but this step is crucial." Klein replied, "We need to find a pure place, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world. It must be a holy place where elements gather to help us accomplish this feat."

As they were discussing, a breeze blew by, as if carrying some kind of guidance, which made people feel peaceful. "It's the Frozen Temple in the North. It's the point where the elements converge, and it's the most suitable place for the fusion of holy objects." Klein suddenly said, as if he had received some kind of revelation.

"The North? Isn't it covered with ice and snow all year round and rarely visited by people?" Alvin frowned, full of awe for that distant and mysterious land.

"That's why it's the most suitable place," Klein explained. "Also, according to ancient legends, there is a holy sword hidden there that can cut through darkness. If we can find it, it will be a great help." (End of this chapter)
