Chapter 293 The Secrets of the Ancient Building and a New Crisis
As the exploration team approached the ancient structure, an ancient and mysterious aura enveloped them. The surface was covered in intricate patterns, shimmering faintly in the light of the surrounding nebula. These patterns bore a resemblance to the ancient symbols they had previously discovered in the ruins. Ellie's heart quickened; her intuition told her that the key to unlocking the mystery lay hidden here.
The team cautiously approached the building's entrance. The gate was tightly shut, and a huge star map was engraved on it, twinkling with an eerie light, seemingly guiding something. Ellie carefully examined the star map, trying to find clues to open the gate. She noticed that the twinkling frequency of some stars in the star map seemed to follow a pattern, subtly echoing an ancient civilization's method of timekeeping.
After some tense calculations, Ellie finally found the corresponding password. As she pressed the last symbol, the door slowly opened with a dull thud, raising a cloud of dust. An old, worn-out smell wafted out, as if telling a story of the vicissitudes of time.
Inside the building, in the dim light, various massive mechanical devices and strange crystals emitted a faint glow. The walls were covered with text and patterns, depicting the glorious history and mysterious rituals of an ancient civilization. Ellie led the researchers to quickly study these texts and patterns. They discovered that these records repeatedly mentioned a mysterious object called the "Heart of Origin," which was said to contain the secrets of the birth of the universe and was the key to controlling this mysterious world.
Just as everyone was focused on their research, a low alarm suddenly sounded inside the building. The previously silent machinery began flashing red lights, and the ground shook slightly. Lin Yu realized something was wrong and shouted, "Everyone be careful, there might be danger!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a group of mechanical guards surged out from every corner of the building. These guards were enormous, their entire bodies covered in hard metal shells, and the weapons in their hands gleamed coldly. They strode heavily toward the exploration team.
The exploration team reacted swiftly, with members raising their weapons and engaging the mechanical guards in fierce combat. Energy beams crisscrossed within the dimly lit building, and the mechanical guards' attacks were extremely fierce, each strike carrying immense power, gradually putting the team on the defensive.
While directing his team to resist, Lin Yu observed the surrounding environment, trying to find a way to resolve the crisis. He discovered that the mechanical guards seemed to be controlled by a central control device inside the building; if he could destroy this device, perhaps they could stop their attack.
Lin Yu shared his idea with Ellie, who nodded in agreement. She and several team members, under the cover of the others, broke through towards the central control unit. Along the way, they skillfully evaded the mechanical guards' attacks, utilizing the complex terrain within the building to outmaneuver the enemy.
Finally, they arrived at the central control unit. However, a powerful energy shield surrounded the control unit, rendering ordinary attacks completely ineffective. Ellie quickly analyzed the shield's energy frequency, trying to find a way to break through it.
Just then, a gigantic mechanical guard broke through the team's defenses and charged towards Ellie and the others. This guard possessed immense attack power; each swing of its weapon created a gust of wind. The team members opened fire, but their shots were all blocked by its shield.
At the critical moment, Lin Yu rushed over, using his energy weapon to draw the mechanical guard's attention. During the fierce exchange, Lin Yu discovered a pattern in the mechanical guard's movements. He seized the opportunity and successfully struck its weak point. The mechanical guard swayed a few times and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ellie finally managed to break through the energy shield. She quickly operated the central control device, and with a flash of light, the mechanical guards stopped attacking and collapsed to the ground.
The crisis was temporarily averted, but the exploration team remained vigilant. They continued exploring the building, hoping to find more clues about the "Heart of Origin." However, just as they ventured deeper into the building, their communication devices suddenly received an urgent call from the fleet: "The fleet has been attacked by an unidentified energy entity, requesting support!"
Lin Yu and Ellie exchanged a glance, a sense of foreboding rising within them. Could they return to the fleet in time to avert this crisis? And where exactly was the "Heart of Origin" hidden? Everything was shrouded in mystery, waiting for them to uncover the truth.
