Chapter 384 The Sealed Core and the First Signs of Crisis
Lin Yu and his team stepped deep into the ruins, where a magnificent circular hall suddenly appeared before them. The hall was tranquil and mysterious, permeated with an ancient atmosphere. Strange symbols were carved into the walls, emitting a faint blue light, seemingly telling secrets sealed by time. In the very center of the hall, atop an ancient stone platform, lay a crystal ball radiating a soft glow. Intricate energy lines swirled around it, connected to the energy system of the entire ruins, like the gentle heartbeat of an ancient civilization.
“This should be the lost artifact,” Lin Yu said softly, his voice tinged with barely suppressed excitement and tension. The team members cautiously approached, their detection equipment humming as they analyzed the surrounding energy fluctuations. Ellie stared intently at the instrument in her hand, her expression grave: “Lin Yu, the energy contained in this crystal ball is beyond imagination. There seems to be some mysterious connection between it and that ancient power outside.”
Lin Yu slowly extended his hand, and the instant his fingertips touched the crystal ball, a blinding light burst forth, enveloping him. The team members tensed instantly, raising their weapons and vigilantly surveying their surroundings. At that moment, Lin Yu's consciousness was drawn into a strange space, where countless images flooded in—the glory and fall of ancient civilizations, the magnificent scene of the Big Bang, the birth and loss of control of mysterious forces… These images, like keys, gradually unlocked the secrets hidden behind the ancient powers.
When Lin Yu came to his senses, his eyes revealed an unprecedented determination: "I understand. This crystal ball is the core of the ancient power that is sealed. Only by fully activating it can we completely control that power." He pointed to the energy lines around the crystal ball and explained to his team members: "Activating these lines in a specific order will awaken the full power of the crystal ball."
The team members sprang into action, carefully manipulating the energy lines under Lin Yu's guidance. As each line was activated, the crystal ball's light grew increasingly dazzling, and the energy fluctuations in the hall intensified. Just as they were about to complete the activation, the ruins suddenly trembled violently. The symbols on the walls began to flash with an eerie red light, and a chilling, dark power surged forth from the depths of the ruins.
"Oh no, we've triggered some kind of defense mechanism!" Ellie exclaimed. Dark power rapidly coalesced into hideous black shadows, baring their fangs and claws as they lunged at the group. These shadows moved nimbly and with incredible speed, instantly reaching the team members.
"Fire!" With Lin Yu's roar, he pulled the trigger without hesitation. The cool-looking weapon in his hand, radiating a mysterious light, instantly shot out a dazzling beam of energy, slicing through the darkness like lightning and heading straight for the enemy.
Seeing this, the team members were not to be outdone. They quickly raised their weapons and followed Lin Yu in launching an attack. In an instant, the entire hall was illuminated by countless dazzling and colorful energy beams. These beams intersected and crisscrossed, weaving a dense and impenetrable net of fire.
However, unexpectedly, the ghostly black shadow seemed completely oblivious to the fierce attack. With unimaginable speed and agility, it easily evaded all the incoming energy beams. The shadow dodged left and right, its figure elusive, as if performing a dance of death.
Despite the team members constantly adjusting their shooting angles and frequencies, the shadowy figure skillfully evaded every attack and continued to relentlessly close in on them, creating a sense of oppression that sent chills down the spines of everyone present.
