Chapter 558: Breaking the Barrier and Exploring the Underground
The energy barrier shimmered with a ghostly blue light, completely sealing off the hall's exit, and an invisible sense of oppression swept over them. Lin Yu and his team stood before the barrier, their expressions grave. They tried to attack the barrier with their weapons, but the laser beams that struck it only created ripples, failing to cause any real damage.
“The energy structure of this barrier is very complex; our weapons simply cannot break through it,” Ellie said, her brow furrowed as she scanned the barrier with her instruments. Lin Yu pondered for a moment, his gaze falling on the stone platform where the crystal ball had been placed. He vaguely felt that there might be some connection between the crystal ball and the barrier.
“Let’s examine the crystal ball more closely and see if we can find any clues to break the barrier,” Lin Yu said, walking back to the stone platform. The team members also gathered around, examining the mysterious crystal ball once more. Just as Lin Yu’s hand touched the crystal ball again, it suddenly vibrated slightly, and a beam of light shot out from its body, projecting onto the barrier and forming a set of strange symbols.
"Could this be the key to breaking the barrier?" Xiao Zhang exclaimed excitedly. Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it. Ellie quickly took out her equipment and began analyzing the symbols. After some tense calculations and comparisons, Ellie exclaimed in surprise, "That's right! These symbols correspond to the adjustment parameters of the barrier's energy frequency!"
Under Ellie's guidance, Lin Yu and his team quickly adjusted the energy frequency of their weapons to match the parameters indicated by the symbols. When they attacked the barrier again, a miracle occurred: the laser beam successfully penetrated it, creating a gap large enough for one person to pass through.
"Hurry!" Lin Yu led the way through the gap, with the team members following closely behind, successfully leaving the hall. They proceeded along the passage, heading towards the underground palace according to the records in the ancient texts. Along the way, they were cautious, vigilantly observing their surroundings.
As they descended deeper underground, the surrounding temperature gradually decreased, and a damp atmosphere filled the air. The crystal light on the walls grew increasingly faint, making their progress more difficult. Suddenly, the sound of flowing water came from ahead, and the group quickened their pace, discovering an underground river lying before them.
The underground river flowed swiftly, its waters as black as ink, their depth impossible to discern. There were no bridges across it, making crossing seem extremely difficult. Lin Yu crouched down, carefully observing the river. He noticed some protruding rocks on the riverbed, barely visible.
“We can cross the river by stepping on these stones, but we must be careful, the current is too strong,” Lin Yu said. He took the lead and stepped into the river, carefully walking towards the other side. The team members followed one by one. The river water was icy cold, reaching above their knees. They supported each other and struggled to jump between the stones.
Just as Lin Yu was about to reach the other side, a powerful suction suddenly surged from the riverbed, gripping his feet tightly. Lin Yu struggled desperately, but found that the more he struggled, the stronger the suction became. "Everyone be careful, there's something wrong at the bottom of the river!" Lin Yu shouted.
The team members rushed to help. Ellie and Xiao Zhang grabbed Lin Yu's arms and pulled him upwards with all their might. The other team members attacked the riverbed with their weapons, trying to break the suction. After some effort, Lin Yu finally broke free of the suction and was pulled ashore.
Still shaken, the group discovered that the rocks at the bottom of the river were actually the work of enormous creatures. Their shells closely resembled the stones, and it was these creatures that had launched the attack. "These creatures are too cunning; we must leave here as soon as possible," Lin Yu said.
They continued along the riverbank and finally found the entrance to the underground palace described in the ancient texts. Two enormous stone statues stood at the entrance, holding weapons and guarding this mysterious palace. The palace doors were tightly shut, their surfaces covered with intricate patterns and runes.
Lin Yu and his team stepped forward to carefully study the patterns and runes. They found that these runes were similar to those they had seen in the ruins before, but much more complex. After a difficult deciphering process, they finally found the way to open the gate.
As the gate slowly opened, an ancient and mysterious aura wafted out. Behind the gate lay a vast space, filled with thick fog, obscuring its interior. Lin Yu took a deep breath and led his team into the palace. The palace was silent, save for the echoing sound of their footsteps. Suddenly, a low roar resounded from the darkness, as if some enormous creature was awakening. Could Lin Yu and his companions find the power to combat the forces of darkness and avert the impending cosmic crisis within this perilous underground palace?
