Chapter 605 A Life-or-Death Struggle and an Opportunity to Break the Stalemate
Sharp stone pillars rained down from the sky, instantly erecting an insurmountable barrier between the group and the stone platform. The dust kicked up as the pillars landed filled the cave, making it difficult to breathe. Lin Yu was extremely anxious, staring at the stone platform that was so close yet blocked by the barrier. The third key lying quietly on it seemed to mock their predicament.
"Everyone, find cover!" Lin Yu shouted, pulling Ellie behind a huge rock. Xiao Wang and the other team members also scrambled for cover, avoiding the constantly falling stone pillars. The deafening crashes of the pillars hitting the ground felt like each blow to their hearts.
“This can’t go on. We have to find a way to break through these stone pillars,” Lin Yu said, panting heavily. Ellie coughed a few times, trying to calm herself down. “Let me analyze the material and structure of these stone pillars and see if I can find any weaknesses.” As she spoke, she took out a scanning device and began scanning the stone pillars.
Behind the rocks, the group dodged the constantly falling boulders while anxiously awaiting Ellie's analysis. Amidst the chaos of the falling pillars, the mysterious creatures temporarily ceased their attack, lurking in the darkness and observing.
“I’ve found it!” Ellie suddenly exclaimed. “The joints of these stone pillars are relatively weak, and their energy source seems to be related to a device at the top of the cave. If we can destroy that device, the stone pillars may lose their support.”
Lin Yu looked in the direction Ellie pointed and saw a device shimmering with purple light on the cave ceiling, surrounded by complex energy lines. "Okay, I'll go destroy that device. You guys stay here and attract the attention of those mysterious creatures. Don't let them interfere with me," Lin Yu said, preparing to rush out.
"Lin Yu, it's too dangerous, let me go," Xiao Wang said, stopping him. Lin Yu shook his head. "No, I'm faster, and the chances of success are greater. You all must be careful and wait for my signal." After saying that, he took a deep breath and, taking advantage of the gap when the stone pillar fell, rushed towards the device at the top of the cave.
Lin Yu nimbly weaved between the stone pillars, dodging the constant danger of falling. The mysterious creatures noticed his movements and immediately let out sharp screechs, lunging at him. "Quick, draw their attention!" Ellie shouted. The team members switched on their lights, shining them at the creatures, and simultaneously opened fire. Although they couldn't inflict any real damage, they successfully diverted most of their attention.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Yu sped up and finally arrived at the device at the top of the cave. Looking up, he saw that the device was surrounded by defensive mechanisms, and the slightest carelessness could trigger an even more powerful attack. Lin Yu observed carefully and discovered a brief energy fluctuation gap at the device's energy input port.
"Now!" Lin Yu seized the opportunity, adjusted his weapon to maximum power, and fired an energy beam that precisely struck the energy input port. With a loud bang, the device erupted in a burst of intense light, followed by thick smoke.
The stone pillars in the cave were indeed affected, beginning to shake violently, and cracks appeared at some of the joints. "Everyone, rush over there!" Lin Yu shouted. The team members immediately rushed out from behind cover and sprinted towards the stone platform. However, just as they were about to reach the platform, a huge, mysterious creature burst out of the darkness and blocked their way.
This mysterious creature was much larger than the previous ones, its entire body radiating a more intense eerie green light, and its blood-red eyes revealing boundless killing intent. It opened its enormous claws and swung them at the crowd, the powerful force creating a gust of wind that almost made them lose their footing.
"This big guy is too troublesome, what should we do?" Xiao Wang shouted anxiously. Lin Yu quickly thought of a solution. He realized that although this mysterious creature was powerful, it was relatively slow-moving. "Everyone, spread out and attack, lure it away, and don't get caught by it!" Lin Yu shouted.
The team members immediately spread out and fired at the mysterious creature from different directions, while shining lights into its eyes. Enraged, the creature attacked the group frantically, but due to its slow movement, it always missed.
With everyone's efforts, the mysterious creature was gradually lured aside, clearing the path to the stone platform. "Quick, get the key!" Lin Yu shouted. Ellie rushed towards the stone platform, reached out, and grasped the third key. The instant she took the key, the entire cave began to shake violently, as if it were about to collapse.
Will they be able to escape before the cave collapses with the keys? And how will they use the three keys to unlock the planet's mysterious energy and completely thwart the dark organization's conspiracy?
