Chapter 77 Quickly Travel! Fate of Ice Star (Twenty-nine)
"Protect everyone's safety..." Researcher Ma muttered to herself, looking at the man who risked his life to protect her, and the companions who fought side by side with her, and suddenly a surge of strength surged in her heart. She remembered the purpose of coming here, and the expectations that supported him. She couldn't retreat, nor could she let everyone down.
Researcher Ma took a deep breath, her eyes gradually becoming firm. She took out a small device from her backpack. This was a new type of sonic controller she had developed based on the habits of ice-field creatures. She had originally intended to use it to collect data, but now it had become her last hope.
"Trust me, I can control it!" Researcher Ma said firmly, with hope in her eyes. She turned on the device, and a sound wave of a special frequency was emitted from the device, quickly spreading around.
Hearing this sound wave, the originally violent Demon Spider King suddenly stopped moving, its huge body trembling slightly, and a hint of confusion and fear appeared in its originally fierce eyes. It shook its huge head uneasily, as if resisting something.
"It works!" Seeing this scene, a glimmer of hope ignited in everyone's hearts.
"Everyone, lend a hand! Shu Yang, Feng Ziang, focus on attacking the Demon Spider King's head!" Researcher Ma commanded loudly while operating the device, "Technician Zhou, help me stabilize the energy output of the device!"
"Okay!" Everyone responded in unison, as if they had drawn endless strength from Researcher Ma. Their original despair was swept away, replaced by the belief that they would win. They knew that the balance of victory was tilting towards them...
“Roar——”, the Demon Spider King roared in reluctance, and his huge body fell to the ground with a bang...
The huge body of the Demon Spider King fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a cloud of dust, and it was like a huge rock falling to the ground, weighing on everyone's heart. There was a dead silence, and after a brief dead silence, there was the gasp and cheers of the survivors.
"We won!" Technician Zhou waved his arms excitedly, his face covered with dust and sweat, but he couldn't hide his excitement.
"Great!" Researcher Ma also breathed a sigh of relief. The sonic controller in her hand stopped working because it ran out of energy. She sat on the ground powerlessly, looking at everything in front of her, as if she were dreaming.
Shu Yang put away his energy gun, and a rare smile appeared on his cold face. He walked to Officer Sun An and asked with concern, "How are you?"
"I'm fine. I won't die." Officer Sun waved his hands. There was still blood on the corners of his mouth, but his tone was full of ease and ridicule.
"It's already this late, and you're still trying to be brave," said Wu Xiangdao, who had been silent the whole time, unhappily. "Use the time to treat the wound, we still have to move on."
The group then remembered the purpose of their trip, and the life-and-death struggle they had just experienced seemed to be just a minor episode in their journey. They simply treated their wounds, packed up their equipment, and continued to move deeper into the ruins.
"How could this Demon Spider King be so powerful and appear in such a place?" Technician Zhou asked puzzledly as they walked.
"This ruins is full of weirdness, so we'd better be careful." Guide Wu looked solemn. His years of experience walking on the ice field told him that the danger was far from over.
Shu Yang nodded in agreement. He looked around and found that the walls were covered with strange symbols. He had never seen these symbols before, but they gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen them somewhere before but could not remember where.
"I seem to have seen these symbols somewhere before..." Shu Yang muttered to himself.
"What symbol?" Feng Ziang walked up to him and looked in the direction he was looking, but found nothing.
"Nothing." Shu Yang shook his head. Maybe it was just his illusion.
The team continued to move forward and encountered several traps along the way, but they were all resolved one by one by the experienced guide Wu. As they gradually went deeper into the ruins, the surrounding environment also changed. The originally cold and humid air became dry and the temperature gradually rose.
"It seems... very warm in here." Researcher Ma said in surprise. He took off his heavy protective suit, revealing the light uniform underneath.
"Indeed, the temperature is much higher than outside." Feng Ziang also felt the change. He looked up and found that there was a faint light at the top of the originally dark passage.
"There seems to be light ahead!" Guide Wu pointed to the end of the passage and said, "Let's go and take a look!"
The crowd quickened their pace and walked towards the light. At the end of the passage was a huge stone door with exquisite patterns carved on it. In the center of the pattern was a symbol that looked like an eye, emitting a faint light.
"This symbol..." Shu Yang suddenly stopped and stared at the pattern on the stone door. An idea flashed through his mind, "I remember! I've seen this symbol before!"
Everyone looked at him in surprise, waiting for his explanation.
"My father mentioned this symbol in his notes..." Shu Yang took a deep breath and said slowly, "He said that this is the path to..."
"To what?" Feng Ziang asked anxiously.
Shu Yang did not answer. He walked to the stone gate, reached out and touched the glowing symbol, his eyes complicated, "Leading to... a forgotten world..."
As soon as the words fell, the stone door suddenly made a loud noise and slowly opened. A dazzling light shone through the crack of the door, and everyone subconsciously covered their eyes. When the light faded, they discovered that there was a huge space hidden behind the stone door...
The dazzling light gradually dissipated, and everyone slowly opened their eyes. The scene before them stunned them.
Behind the stone door is not another passage as imagined, but a vast underground space. The top of the head is no longer a cramped rock, but a huge transparent dome. Soft light falls from the dome, illuminating the entire space. Under the dome, various strange-shaped buildings are lined up in an orderly manner, like a sleeping underground city.
"This...where is this place?" Technician Zhou was so surprised that he couldn't even speak clearly and the toolbox in his hand almost fell to the ground.
"It's incredible! This site is much more complicated than we thought!" Guide Wu rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
Shu Yang didn't say anything, but just quietly observed everything around him. This underground city clearly had traces of a civilization that far exceeded the current technological level. Could this be the "forgotten world" mentioned in his father's notes?
"Look! What is that?" Researcher Ma exclaimed, pointing at a tall building in the distance.
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that the building was made of an unknown metal, reflecting a cold light under the soft light. On the top of the building, a huge eye symbol emitted a faint blue light, exactly the same as the symbol on the stone door.
"Could it be that is..." Shu Yang seemed to have thought of something, with a glimmer of surprise in his eyes.
