Each group embarked on the arduous journey to find the Five Elements sacred objects, as planned.
The first team heading to the metal mine was met with a frenzied attack from mutated metal creatures. These creatures were composed entirely of metallic elements, their shells as hard as diamonds, emitting a piercing metallic scraping sound as they moved. The strength-type ability users in the team stepped forward, their muscles bulging, unleashing their immense strength to engage the mutated metal creatures in close combat. Meanwhile, the agility-type ability users used their speed to weave through the metal creatures, searching for their weaknesses. One member, skilled in metal abilities, attempted to communicate with these mutated creatures through elemental means, trying to disrupt their movements. Despite the numerous difficulties, they remained steadfast in their mission, painstakingly exploring the depths of the mine, leaving no corner unexplored that might conceal the golden artifact.
The second team, venturing deep into the ancient forest, was suffering terribly from the poisonous fog and mutated plants. The fog, seemingly alive, relentlessly eroded their protective gear and bodies. The team members activated their ability shields, temporarily isolating themselves from the fog. The mutated plants in the forest were even more bizarre; some vines resembled giant pythons, capable of instantly binding a person; others sprayed corrosive liquids. Team members skilled in wood-based abilities worked to communicate with the forest's natural forces, calming the rampaging plants and clearing a safe passage for the team. The other team members cautiously searched the forest, constantly vigilant for hidden dangers, advancing step by step towards the possible location of the wooden relic.
The third team, heading towards the polar ice field, faced the severe test of an ice-type behemoth. The ice field was swept by howling winds, and temperatures were extremely low; ordinary protective gear was insufficient to completely shield them from the cold. The ice-type behemoth was enormous, and each attack was accompanied by powerful fluctuations of ice energy. The ice-type ability users in the team engaged in a battle of ice powers with the behemoth, their icy blue energies intertwining and colliding in the air above the ice field. The other team members, meanwhile, looked for opportunities; some used earth-type abilities to create ice traps, while others used wind-type abilities to disrupt the behemoth's movements. They persevered through the icy wilderness, determined to find the precious water relic.
The fourth team, venturing deep into the volcano, found themselves threatened by scorching lava and fire spirits. The volcano was unbearably hot, with lava flowing like rivers. Fire spirits leaped and darted through the lava, relentlessly attacking the team. The fire-attribute ability users fought back fiercely, diverting the fire energy elsewhere. Using their flight abilities, the team hovered above the crater, observing the lava's flow and deducing the location of the ignited fire relic. Ignoring the intense heat and perilous environment, they gradually penetrated deeper into the volcano, advancing towards their objective.
The fifth team, excavating earthen artifacts in the desert ruins, frequently triggered traps and mechanisms. Sand-transformed monsters swarmed from all directions; their bodies were composed of yellow sand and they could change shape at will. Earth-elemental ability users erected earthen walls to block the monsters' attacks. Team members skilled in deciphering mechanisms intently studied the traps within the ruins, carefully dismantling or bypassing them. The team meticulously searched the desert ruins, leaving no stone unturned in their search for any clues that might be related to the earthen artifacts.
Meanwhile, in the human settlement, Su Yao directed the actions of the various teams while organizing the remaining forces of the alliance to strengthen the settlement's defenses. She knew that the settlement could not afford any damage while the teams searched for the sacred artifact. The alliance members worked together to construct multiple layers of defensive fortifications, including energy shield generators and ability-based defense towers. At the same time, based on the data from the ruins Su Yao brought back, the research team achieved new research results and developed a new type of potion that could enhance the abilities of ability users. Su Yao distributed the potion appropriately, ensuring that the ability users guarding the settlement were in optimal combat condition.
As the days passed, news kept pouring in from each team on their respective journeys: urgent calls for help in times of danger, and exciting reports of discovering clues to possible sacred artifacts. Su Yao remained highly vigilant, providing timely support and guidance to each team through the system's location and communication functions. In this quest for the sacred artifact for the future of humanity, everyone was giving their all. Whether it was the teams searching for the artifact on the perilous front lines or those holding the fort in the rear, they all shared the same belief: to defeat the extreme heat of the apocalypse and ensure the continuation of humanity.
