Chapter 352: Battle of Elements
After successfully unlocking the mechanism on the first floor of the Star Tower, Qin Feng and his companions walked up the stairs leading to the second floor. As they moved forward, the atmosphere in the tower became more and more oppressive, as if the air around them had become heavy. Everyone felt an invisible pressure looming in their hearts.
Qin Feng walked in front of the team. He clenched the Dragon Shadow Sword in his hand, his eyes full of vigilance and determination: "Everyone be careful, everything here is weird."
"I feel the temperature around me is changing." Ye Li whispered, holding the Frost Fox in her hands, and slightly feeling the chill around her.
"Yeah, I felt very hot just now, but now it's cold again." Wang Yue touched his arm, "There should be some mysterious power at work in the tower."
Yeying nodded: "This temperature change is very unnatural. It may be a sign of the next trial."
They continued to move forward, the temperature around them getting lower and lower, and soon they saw a piece of frozen ground in front of them. The ice surface was extremely smooth, and through the ice they could vaguely see some kind of light flowing underneath.
"This is..." Chu Tian stepped on the ice tentatively and found that it was extremely hard, but a piercing chill came from his feet, "Such cold ice!"
"This ice surface doesn't look simple." Zhang Meng squatted down and knocked hard on the ice surface, but no marks were left. "It's as hard as iron."
Qin Feng frowned: "Everyone be careful, there may be something hidden under the ice."
Just as they were cautiously walking onto the ice, the ice suddenly began to shake violently, and then a voice came from all directions:
"Welcome to the trial of the elemental battle. You must face the power of the four elements. Only by conquering them can you move forward."
"Battle of Elements?" Ye Li looked around in surprise, "Could it be referring to four different elemental powers?"
As soon as he finished speaking, four beams of light suddenly appeared on the ice, representing the four elements of water, fire, earth, and wind. The power in the beams of light was surging violently, as if it was about to break free.
"Everyone be careful, there's something weird here!" Ye Ying immediately assumed a fighting stance.
Qin Feng raised the Dragon Shadow Sword and stared at the four beams of light: "It seems that we need to pass the test of these elements."
At this moment, four beams of light suddenly burst out with dazzling light, and transformed into four elemental guardians. Each elemental guardian exuded a strong elemental aura, and their bodies seemed to be made entirely of elemental energy, looking extremely powerful.
"I'll deal with the fire element!" Chu Tian shouted, and his storm wolf immediately rushed towards the fire element.
"I'll deal with the earth element!" Zhang Meng was not to be outdone. He summoned a giant rock bear and went straight towards the earth element.
"Then Wang Yue and I will deal with the wind element." Ye Li said, and the Frost Fox and Light Deer quickly approached the wind element.
Qin Feng looked at the water element and nodded: "Then leave the water element to me and Ye Ying."
The body of the Fire Element Guardian was like a ball of scorching flames, emitting scorching heat waves. It waved the burning flames in both hands and rushed towards Chu Tian and the Storm Wolf. The Storm Wolf dodged quickly, but the speed of the Fire Element was so fast that the flames almost brushed past its body.
"What a fast speed!" Chu Tian exclaimed and immediately ordered the Storm Wolves to counterattack.
The Storm Wolf quickly leaped into the air, released its Thunder Claws, and suddenly grabbed the Fire Elemental. Upon seeing this, the Fire Elemental suddenly swung out a stream of flame, dissolving the Thunder Claws into nothingness.
"Its flames can restrain my lightning!" Chu Tian gritted his teeth and said, "You can't use ordinary attacks!"
At the same time, the body of the earth element guardian was like a huge and hard rock. It slowly moved forward, and every step made the ground shake. Zhang Meng and his giant rock bear attacked with all their might, but the earth element's defense was so amazing that their attacks could not cause any damage to it at all.
"This guy is really tough!" Zhang Meng panted, "Its defense is too strong!"
Ye Li and Wang Yue were facing the wind element guardian. The wind element's body was like a gust of wind, moving quickly and constantly creating strong airflows. The frost fox's icy air was easily dissolved by the wind element, and the healing light of the light deer was also blown away by the wind.
"It's too fast, our attacks can't hit it at all!" Wang Yue said anxiously.
Qin Feng and Ye Ying were in a tough fight with the water element guardian. The water element's body was made of turbulent water, and it could summon powerful water shock waves with a wave of its hand. Qin Feng and Ye Ying's attacks were blocked by the water flow, making it difficult to approach its body.
"The attack range of this water element is too wide." Night Shadow whispered, "We must get close to it to attack its core."
Qin Feng nodded: "Okay, follow my command, let's go together!"
As the battle progressed, everyone discovered that these elemental guardians were not just simple incarnations of elements, but had extremely high powers and skills. To defeat them, one had to find their weaknesses.
"Chu Tian, try to lead the fire element close to the water element!" Qin Feng suddenly shouted.
Chu Tian quickly understood Qin Feng’s intention: “Understood! Storm Wolf, follow me!”
He and the Storm Wolf quickly retreated, pretending to retreat, and the Fire Element immediately caught up. Chu Tian continued to guide the Fire Element closer to the position of the Water Element.
"Zhang Meng, you also lead the earth element to the side of the water element!" Qin Feng continued to command.
Zhang Meng took action immediately. The giant rock bear slapped the ground hard, creating a crack and leading the earth element towards the water element.
"Ye Li, Wang Yue, lead the wind element to the middle!" Qin Feng said loudly.
Ye Li and Wang Yue cooperated with each other and successfully led the wind element to the other side of the water element. All the elemental guardians were gradually led together.
"Everyone, get ready!" Qin Feng shouted.
He swung his sword suddenly, and a strong blue light flashed on the Dragon Shadow Sword. A powerful sword energy rushed straight towards the water element. The water element was hit by the sword energy, and its body temporarily solidified for a moment.
"Now!" Qin Feng shouted, "Attack together!"
Everyone launched their strongest attack at the same time, gathering the four elemental guardians together. The cooling effect of the water element instantly froze the flames of the fire element, the mud of the earth element began to soak in water and became heavy, and the strong wind of the wind element was also weakened by the water flow.
"The four elements restrain each other!" Ye Ying saw the clue, "We can take advantage of this!"
"Everyone, concentrate on attacking their core!" Qin Feng shouted.
Everyone went all out and concentrated their firepower to attack the core of the elemental guardians. Under the joint attack of everyone, the bodies of the four elemental guardians gradually collapsed, and finally turned into four elemental lights and dissipated in the air.
After the battle, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling physically and mentally exhausted. The temperature in the tower returned to normal, and the elemental aura around them gradually dissipated.
"We did it!" Wang Yue said excitedly, "We defeated the Elemental Guardian!"
"It was a tough battle," Zhang Meng said with a big laugh, "but we still won!"
Ye Li and Chu Tian high-fived each other, their faces full of joy of victory: "Cooperation is indeed the strongest power!"
Ye Ying walked up to Qin Feng and said with a smile: "You command very well, Qin Feng."
Qin Feng nodded: "This is our common victory."
At this moment, a ray of light suddenly appeared in the space inside the tower, and four gems emitting different lights emerged in the light, representing the four elements of water, fire, earth, and wind.
"What is this?" Ye Li asked in surprise.
"This is your reward for passing the trial." The deep voice sounded again, "Each gem contains powerful elemental power, which can help you become stronger in future battles."
"Elemental gems?" Chu Tian said excitedly, "Can we use their power?"
"That's right." The voice continued, "But you must understand that power is not omnipotent. Only by using this power correctly can you move forward."
Qin Feng stepped forward, carefully put away the four gems, and said solemnly: "We will use these powers with caution. Thank you for your guidance."
"May you continue to move forward courageously in the trials that follow." The voice gradually faded away, and peace returned to the tower.
After putting away the elemental gems, Qin Feng and his companions continued to move towards the next level of the tower. Everyone felt an unprecedented strength and determination. They knew that the challenges ahead were still difficult, but they were ready.
"We now have new strength." Ye Li looked at the Frost Fox in her hand, "No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will not retreat."
"Yes, we have come so far and will not give up easily." Chu Tian clenched his fists, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
"We will definitely uncover the secret of the Star Tower." Ye Ying said calmly, "Let's go together."
Qin Feng looked at his companions and said with a smile: "Yes, we are a team. No matter what the future holds, we will fight side by side."
Everyone nodded, and with new strength and confidence, they set foot on the steps leading deeper into the Tower of Stars.
