Chapter 244 - 244 Heart of Spirit
244 Heart of Spirit
At least when it was time to rest or when they encountered a beautiful scene, they would stop and take a look.
After about two days, Su Ming finally arrived at his destination.
Once they stopped in their tracks, Su Ming first looked at the map.
Their current location was only a hundred kilometers away from the Vast Flame Kingdom.
He was not too far away from where the elf team had disappeared.
When they arrived at the forest where they had last contacted each other, Su Ming took out an item from his bag.
[Heart of Spirit]
[ Item description: this is the ultimate treasure of the elf clan. When you are holding this item, it will automatically locate the nearby elves when you are close to them. ]
This was something Zelda had given Su Ming before he officially set off.
It was said that with such a thing, it would be easier and more convenient to find the elf team.
Moreover, this thing had a very abnormal function.
After it found the traces of an elf, it could automatically find and explore the way to find the elf who created the traces!
Fortunately, this kind of thing couldn’t be mass-produced. Otherwise, if other races knew how to make it, the elves would be forced into a dead end.
Su Ming shook his head and averted his gaze. His expression remained calm.
After that, Su Ming lifted the item and started searching the forest before him.
During this process, Su Ming naturally ran into quite a number of high level monsters in the forest.
Most of the time, Su Ming would choose to avoid the battle. After all, it was more important for him to find the person he was looking for.
Only when he ran into a situation that he could not avoid would Su Ming take the initiative to solve the problem.
However, in this way, the delay in time was naturally inevitable.
After an entire morning had passed, Su Ming finally finished searching half of the forest.
Once he was done searching the place, Su Ming frowned slightly.
He didn’t find anything.
Even though he had already walked through half of the forest, he still did not find any signs of the elves.
This situation caused Su Ming to be slightly puzzled.
Could it be that the information he had obtained from the two elf captains was wrong?
Or did the Heart of Spirit lose its effect?
Su Ming stood on the spot and pondered for a while. Mike was by his side, carefully observing his surroundings.
Su Ming shook his head and raised the flag once more to continue searching for the elves in the forest.
Time trickled by. Just as Su Ming thought that the team of elves might really not have come to the forest and that his information was wrong…
The Heart of Spirit that had been silent all this time suddenly emitted a faint glow.
What followed was a burning sensation and a series of thumping sounds.
The heart of the spirit in front of him seemed to have turned into a real heart, and it was beating continuously in Su Ming’s hand.
This change stunned Su Ming for a moment, then his pupils shrank and his expression changed slightly.
Su Ming took a deep breath and no longer spoke or thought about anything else. Instead, he stared at the heart of the spirit in his hand with a serious expression.
As time passed, the heart of the spirit in Su Ming’s hand also started to change.
After the initial thump, it suddenly bloomed with a somewhat dazzling light.
Then, it slowly retracted and began to point in a certain direction in the forest.
When Su Ming saw this, he first frowned slightly.
He looked at Mike, who was beside him, and Mike couldn’t help but say, “Is it in that direction?”
When Su Ming heard this, he took a deep breath. He did not answer Mike’s question, but instead took a step forward.
Su Ming and Mike soon arrived at the edge of the forest, following the direction pointed out by the heart of the spirit.
However, the circle of light that the Heart of Spirit was guiding suddenly disappeared after it reached the edge of the forest.
Su Ming and Mike were stunned at the same time. When they met each other’s gazes, they saw a hint of surprise in each other’s eyes.
That shouldn’t be the case.
Su Ming clearly remembered that when Zelda gave him this item, he said that it was a mystical item that could help him find the fairy.
But now, this mystical item that was guiding them seemed to have suddenly given up and stopped?
Su Ming frowned slightly and examined the heart of the spirit carefully.
However, he realized that it had not stopped beating.
Other than that, the burning sensation was still present in his palm.
Su Ming narrowed his eyes, but he suddenly realized something.
The Heart of Spirit in his hand didn’t really lose its light, but instead, the light was restrained.
According to Zelda, this meant that the heart of the elf had already found her.
Su Ming’s brows immediately furrowed together, and there was a look of surprise and disbelief on his face.
He found the other party just like that? He was clearly in an empty state.
The doubt in his eyes grew even stronger. Su Ming looked around him, but he did not find any signs of anyone.
When Mike saw Su Ming’s reaction, he seemed to have realized something. He flew up high into the air and checked his surroundings.
Then, after flying back, Mike frowned and said, “I didn’t find anything.”
Su Ming took a deep breath and looked at the heart of the spirit in his hand. He was starting to wonder if there was something wrong with it.
However, just as Su Ming was thinking about this, the heart of the spirit in his hand seemed to have sensed his thoughts.
Then, the heart of the spirit first throbbed in Su Ming’s hand.
Then, a ray of light erupted from within. A powerful beam of light suddenly shot toward Su Ming’s feet, and it did not stop for a long time.
Su Ming was stunned for a moment. He looked at the pillar of light under his feet and could not react in time.
Then, when he gradually realized that something was off, a guess slowly formed in Su Ming’s heart.
“Those elves were buried alive?”
This guess was not good. If it really became a fact, then this matter would become even more confusing.
After all, if the Vast Flame Kingdom had discovered this elven team, they would never have dealt with them in such a way.
When he thought of this, Su Ming took a deep breath and fixed his gaze on the land under his feet.
