At the end of the passage was not the paradise as imagined, but an empty metal hall.

In the center of the hall, a huge blue crystal is suspended, emitting a soft light, and it is this light that illuminates the passage.

Ye Ling gently placed Duan Yu on the ground and checked his injuries.

Fortunately, he was just unconscious and nothing serious happened.

Ye Ling looked around, and what caught her eye was the huge blue crystal and - Ma Ge's greedy face!

"Hey, isn't this the good-for-nothing Ye Ling and her pretty boy? They're lucky enough to make it here." Behind Ma Ge were the expedition team and Dr. Hu, who had a gloomy face.

Their mechas were all a little damaged, obviously they had experienced a hard battle on the road.

"Brother Ma, it seems we have the same idea." Dr. Hu sneered, his eyes fixed on the blue crystal. "I want this thing."

"Why should I give it to you? I got here first!" Ma Ge roared in a rough voice.

Ye Ling supported the unconscious Duan Yu and thought to herself: What a narrow road for enemies to cross.

She looked around. Besides them, there was another figure—Qin Shou! A famous ruins explorer, not to be trifled with.

He stood quietly in the corner of the hall, seemingly uninterested in the struggle in front of him, just observing it all silently.

The current situation is extremely unfavorable to Ye Ling. Duan Yu is unconscious and she herself is injured. Facing so many enemies, she has almost no chance of winning.

According to common sense, one should wait for rescue or try to negotiate, but Ye Ling refused!

She is not a weak and obedient girl. If anyone dares to steal her things, she will make them pay the price!

Ye Ling curled up the corner of her mouth into a cold smile, and weakly supported Duan Yu. She seemed to be shaky, but suddenly shouted loudly: "Brother Ma! Dr. Hu! You want this core? Dream on! I discovered it first, no one of you can snatch it away!"

Her sudden shout startled everyone.

"Just you? A loser like you dares to speak so arrogantly?" Brother Ma sneered disdainfully.

"That's right, I can do it!" Ye Ling forced herself to stand up straight, a crazy glint in her eyes, "Want to rob? Then come and try!"

Dr. Hu narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Ling, wondering in his heart: What is this girl up to?

"Don't waste time talking to her, just grab it!" Brother Ma waved his hand impatiently and was about to rush forward.

"Wait!" Ye Ling suddenly shouted, "Brother Ma, have you forgotten how Dr. Hu tricked you last time? He tricked you completely and even made you appear on TV. Now you still want to cooperate with him?"

Brother Ma paused and looked at Dr. Hu with a gloomy expression.

Dr. Hu's face changed and he said angrily, "Ye Ling! Stop trying to sow discord!"

Ye Ling sneered: "Provoke? Isn't what I said the truth? You two are not good people!"

"you……"

"Enough!" Ma Ge roared, interrupting Dr. Hu. "Dr. Hu, we'll settle our accounts later! Now, let's deal with this girl first!"

Ye Ling was secretly delighted that the first step of the plan was successful!

She turned to look at Qin Shou again and shouted with all her might, "And you! Qin Shou! Don't think I don't know what you're up to! You want to reap the benefits while you're still fishing? No way!"

Qin Shou remained silent, but a subtle fluctuation flashed in his eyes...

Ye Ling suddenly covered her chest, staggered back, and spat out a mouthful of "blood": "Ahem... You... all of you wait..."

Ma Ge was indeed an impatient and hot-tempered guy, and Ye Ling's words were like igniting a powder keg.

"Old fox! What tricks are you trying to play?" He roared, swinging the energy weapon in his hand and smashing it towards Dr. Hu.

Dr. Hu was no pushover either. He quickly dodged and fired a beam of energy backhandedly. "Ma, don't be so shameless! Last time was an accident. This time, no one can stop me!"

The members of the expedition team instantly became chaotic, with shouting and the roar of energy weapons filling the entire hall.

Ye Ling took advantage of the chaos to help Duan Yu up, quietly retreated, and hid behind a huge metal pillar.

"Hehe, when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. The ancients were right!" Ye Ling smiled evilly and started the mecha.

The energy of the ancient ruins seemed to resonate with her mecha, and a powerful force surged into her body.

She felt like she had been given a cheat, and her fighting power was off the charts!

"Hey! Take my Spiral Ascension Fist!" Ye Ling shouted and rushed into the crowd.

With the blessing of the energy of the ruins, her mecha is astonishingly fast and her punches are extremely powerful.

A few unlucky guys who wanted to sneak attack her were knocked away before they could react, and hit the metal wall, making a "clang clang" sound, which sounded like some funny sound effect.

He Xiaomei was furious when she saw her teammates being beaten to pieces, and she rushed towards Ye Ling waving her two swords.

"You little bitch! You dare to hit my brother? I'll chop you into pieces!"

Ye Ling was not afraid at all and dodged He Xiaomei's attacks nimbly.

"Little sister, your swordsmanship is good, but unfortunately, it is too easy to predict!" She said while analyzing He Xiaomei's attack pattern.

Sure enough, although He Xiaomei's attack was fierce, it was somewhat formulaic.

After finding the flaw, Ye Ling took decisive action and hit He Xiaomei's mecha with a "Lightning Five Whips".

"Ouch! It hurts!" He Xiaomei screamed and was knocked away, falling flat on her face.

The remaining members of the expedition team were so frightened by Ye Ling's ferocity that they dared not move forward. They were trembling like lambs to be slaughtered.

Ye Ling sneered, ignored the group of minions, and turned to walk towards the information desk in the core of the ruins.

She quickly operated the information desk and obtained key information about the core of the ancient mecha.

"Ding! The information has been downloaded!" Ye Ling was delighted, it's done!

She carried Duan Yu on her back and prepared to leave this place of trouble.

When she reached the entrance of the hall, she stopped, looked back at the crowd who were still in a mess, and said coldly: "If you dare to mess with me next time, you will bear the consequences!"

Ye Ling disappeared into the passage, leaving behind a group of stunned people...

Deep in the corridor, there was a slight sound of metal friction...
