The low and strange sound was getting closer and closer, like countless insects gnawing at metal, making people's scalps tingle.

Ye Ling immediately became alert and grabbed Giggs's shoulders. "What's going on? Where does that sound come from?" Giggs' face turned pale and he pointed at the symbol on the artifact. "I... I think... it's coming from here... here!"

The golden light emitted by the symbol became stronger and stronger, as if it was about to break through the wall.

Ye Ling's heart beat faster, and an inexplicable excitement and fear intertwined.

Is this the key to unlocking everything?

She immediately contacted Ike. Although this young archaeologist had many loopholes in his theoretical knowledge, he could always provide some "unconventional" ideas at critical moments.

"Ike, come and take a look! This symbol is weird!" Ye Ling turned on the communicator and sent the image of the symbol over.

Ike's excited voice almost pierced his eardrums, "Oh my God (OMG translation)! This is... this is the text of the ancient galaxy civilization! I... I once saw it in an ancient book! It... it represents... represents..." Ike's voice suddenly became intermittent, mixed with the crackling sound of electricity, which made Ye Ling upset.

"Ike! Ike! Can you hear me?" Ye Ling called out anxiously, but all that came out of the communicator was the noisy sound of electricity.

Damn it, he failed at the critical moment!

Ye Ling rubbed her temples and felt a headache.

At this moment, Camille and Wayne also rushed over after hearing the news.

Camille still looked aloof. She glanced at the messy cultural relics preservation laboratory and frowned slightly.

"Ye Ling, you'd better figure out what this thing is as soon as possible. The head of the family is very worried about the safety of Master Duan Yu."

Wayne examined the cultural relics with a worried look on his face, fearing that the strange sound would cause damage to the artifacts.

"Camille, be gentle! This is an antique from thousands of years ago. Can you afford to pay for it if it breaks?"

Camille sneered, "I can't afford it? Ask Ye Ling, which of the cultural relics she is guarding now is not priceless?"

"What do you mean?!" Wayne glared at him, and the tension between the two of them instantly spread.

Ye Ling's head hurt even more. It was already this late, and these two women still had the mind to quarrel?

"Alright, alright! Stop arguing!" Ye Ling shouted, "The most important thing now is to find Duan Yu and figure out what this strange sound is!" She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"Camille, you'll be on guard. Vayne, help me study this symbol."

Suddenly, the symbols on the artifacts glowed brightly, and a strong energy wave swept through the entire laboratory.

"Not good!" Ye Ling's face changed suddenly, "Retreat quickly!" The strong light made it impossible for everyone to open their eyes, and their ears were buzzing, as if the whole world was shaking violently.

Ye Ling only felt a powerful force pushing her backwards, hitting the cold metal wall, making her grimace in pain.

"Oh shit!" Wayne exclaimed, hugging the box of relics beside her tightly, fearing that she would be affected by the sudden energy wave.

"What the hell is this? Is it an earthquake?"

Camille also showed a rare solemn expression. Her powerful aura helped her to stabilize her body, but the surprise in her eyes revealed her inner unrest.

At this moment, a sharp scream came from the communicator, followed by Planck's arrogant laughter.

"Hahaha, little girl, your man is in my hands, how does it feel?!"

Ye Ling's heart sank, and a chill rushed from the soles of her feet to her forehead.

Planck, that old bastard, really has no good intentions!

She immediately connected to the battleship's monitoring system. On the screen, countless pirate warships surrounded the transport ship like bloodthirsty sharks.

The sky was filled with continuous artillery fire, and the exploding light illuminated the entire starry sky red, which was shocking to watch.

"Duan Yu..." Ye Ling muttered to herself, a strong feeling of powerlessness surged in her heart.

But she didn't allow herself to indulge in this emotion. She clenched her teeth and her eyes became extremely firm.

"Planck, you're looking for death!"

She took a deep breath, quickly calmed down, and quickly analyzed the situation.

Head-on confrontation?

That wasn't her style, and now wasn't the best time.

A cunning smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and a bold plan gradually took shape in her mind.

"Camille, Vayne, listen to me!" Ye Ling's voice was firm and unquestionable.

"Now, we need to teach these pirates a lesson!"

Inside the transport ship, the atmosphere of depression and despair was dispelled by Ye Ling's confidence, and replaced by a glimmer of hope.

Everyone looked at Ye Ling with curiosity and anticipation.

Ye Ling did not rush to order a counterattack, but instead signaled Ziggs to adjust the energy output of the warship and concentrate all firepower on one point.

At the same time, she quietly activated the transport ship's stealth system, making the entire fleet disappear from the pirates' radar like a ghost.

"Planck, don't you want to play? Then I'll play with you!" Ye Ling stared at Planck's image on the screen, with a dangerous light flashing in her eyes.

"The good show has just begun..."

In the communicator, Gangplank's mocking laughter suddenly stopped, replaced by a suffocating silence...

Ye Ling's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a smile that said "everything is under control".

She pressed the communicator and said in a sickly sweet voice, "Boss Gangplank, what are you looking for? Are you looking for your fleet?"

Gangplank roared in anger from the other end of the communicator: "Ye Ling! What the hell are you doing!"
