Chapter 332 Secrets and Crisis Deep Within the Ruins (4th Chapter)
Lin Yu led his team into the ruins, and an ancient and mysterious aura enveloped them. The passageway was dimly lit, with crystals emitting a faint blue light embedded in the walls, barely illuminating the path ahead. The surrounding walls were covered with more complex patterns and symbols, as if telling the story of the glory and vicissitudes of an ancient civilization.
"Everyone stay alert, the situation here is unclear," Lin Yu whispered a reminder, gripping his weapon tightly and scanning his surroundings warily. The team members spread out in a fan shape, cautiously advancing forward. As they ventured deeper into the ruins, the energy fluctuations grew increasingly intense, and an invisible pressure enveloped them.
Suddenly, a massive circular hall appeared before them. In the center of the hall floated a sphere radiating dazzling light, surrounded by strange energy lines that echoed the symbols on the hall's walls. Ellie's eyes lit up instantly: "This might be the core device related to ancient energy that we've been searching for!"
Just as the team members were preparing to approach the sphere to investigate, the floor of the hall suddenly shook, and metal fences rose from the ground, separating the team members. At the same time, the light from the crystals on the walls changed abruptly, from a soft blue to an eerie red.
"Damn it, we've triggered some kind of defense mechanism!" Lin Yu shouted. No sooner had he spoken than a group of small mechanical guards emerged from a corner of the hall. These guards were agile, their bodies shimmering with energy shields, and their weapons continuously fired laser beams.
"Fight back!" Lin Yu decisively ordered. The team members quickly found cover and engaged in fierce firefights with the mechanical guards. Laser beams crisscrossed the hall, and explosions were deafening. Lin Yu discovered that the mechanical guards' energy shields could absorb the energy of ordinary weapons and convert it into their own defensive power.
"Conventional attacks are ineffective; we need to think of another way!" Lin Yu thought, dodging attacks while simultaneously devising a countermeasure. Ellie quickly took out her energy analysis device and scanned and analyzed the mechanical guard's shield.
"I've found the weakness in their shield's energy frequency!" Ellie shouted. "We can adjust our weapon frequencies and focus our attacks on this weakness!"
The team members quickly adjusted their weapon frequencies, unleashing beams of specially designed energy at the mechanical guards. Under the precise attack, the mechanical guards' shields shattered, and they were quickly wiped out.
Having dealt with the mechanical guards, the group continued to approach the floating sphere. However, when they were only a few steps away from the sphere, it suddenly released a powerful repulsive force, blasting them all away.
"The energy field around this sphere is too strong; we can't get close at all," a team member said, clutching his injured arm.
Lin Yu stood up, his gaze resolute: "We can't give up, there must be another way. Ellie, take another close look at the symbols and energy lines around us, see if there are any clues."
Ellie threw herself back into her intense research, carefully observing the symbols on the walls and the energy lines around the sphere, trying to find a way to break the energy field. Time ticked by, and darkness fell outside, but they remained trapped in the ruins.
Just when everyone was feeling hopeless, Ellie suddenly shouted excitedly, "I understand! These symbols and energy lines form a complex energy code system. We can break the sphere's energy field by adjusting the energy output of the surrounding crystals."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu immediately directed his team to adjust the energy output of the crystals on the wall according to Ellie's instructions. As the crystal energy changed, the energy field around the sphere also began to change, and the repulsive force gradually weakened.
"Now! Get closer to the sphere!" Lin Yu shouted, leading his team to rush towards the sphere. As they finally approached the sphere, a powerful torrent of information flooded their minds.
This information contains the history, technology, and secrets of ancient civilizations, as well as information about ancient energy. It turns out that this ancient energy is the primordial force from the beginning of the universe, possessing both creative and destructive properties. Once, an ancient civilization built this ruin in an attempt to control this power, but internal strife ultimately led to its sealing.
However, just as everyone was immersed in this information, a violent tremor suddenly came from outside the ruins. Immediately afterwards, a familiar yet terrifying energy fluctuation emanated—the mysterious aircraft that had been chasing them had tracked them here!
