The air seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere between the two became extremely subtle.
Chen Yao's gaze was fixed on Mou Xuan's crystallized left arm, her eyes filled with worry, surprise, and a hint of...fear?
She took a deep breath, as if she had made some important decision, and with trembling fingers she took out a few crystal clear fragments from the medical bag - they were the fragments that had fallen off Mou Xuan's crystallized arm.
These fragments in her hands sparkled with a faint blue light, as if they contained some mysterious power.
"Let's take a gamble!" Chen Yao whispered to herself. She arranged the fragments into a strange pattern and muttered something that sounded like some ancient spell.
As she chanted, the fragments began to resonate, emitting a buzzing vibration, and the light became increasingly intense, eventually forming a translucent energy barrier that enveloped her and Mou Xuan.
Meanwhile, the landowner was still struggling desperately. He saw the metal thorns getting tighter and tighter, almost cutting into his bones, causing him to scream in pain.
He never thought that just wanting to steal a crystal core would cause such a big trouble.
If he had known that this thing was so evil, he would never have gotten involved in this mess!
"Let me go! Let me go now!" He yelled at the top of his lungs, but no one paid any attention to him.
Those metal thorns seemed to have a life of their own, greedily devouring his flesh and blood, making him feel fear deep in his bones.
At this moment, a cold light flashed, and the land owner felt his ankle loosen, and the thorn chain that bound him was actually cut off!
Before he had time to be happy, he saw Mou Xuan's figure appear in front of him. His crystallized arm was like the scythe of the god of death, emitting a chilling aura.
All this happened in a flash. From the time the land owner's ankle was entangled to the time Mou Xuan made his move, only 0.5 seconds passed!
Mou Xuan's speed was so fast that before the landowner could even react, he felt a powerful force knocking him to the ground.
He got up in a panic and was horrified to find that his retreat was blocked by dense chains of thorns, and Mou Xuan was approaching step by step, his eyes as cold as ten thousand years of ice.
"You...what do you want to do?" The land owner's voice trembled. He knew that he had hit a wall this time.
Mou Xuan didn't say anything, just looked at him coldly.
At this tense moment, something strange happened!
A piece of metal that fell from the landowner suddenly began to vibrate violently, making a harsh buzzing sound that resonated with the surrounding metal thorns.
The ground began to tremble violently, and huge cracks appeared. A huge vortex appeared under everyone's feet, as if it was going to swallow everything.
In the vortex, a powerful energy wave surged out, and a huge monster slowly rose.
It was a giant creature made of metal, covered with sharp spikes and flashing with a cold light.
Its head looked like a giant skull, with two balls of blue flames burning in its eye sockets, emitting a suffocating aura.
"Oh my God! What the hell is this?!" Explorer Le was so scared that he collapsed on the ground, and a foul smell came from his crotch.
"It's the guardian of the ancient civilization!" Engineer Xiao's voice trembled, his face was pale, and his eyes were full of fear. "According to my detection, this creature has existed for at least tens of thousands of years! Its energy level... is immeasurable!"
The situation is extremely critical!
Mou Xuan made a prompt decision and threw the crystal core in his hand to Chen Yao: "Lead everyone to retreat!"
Chen Yao took the crystal core and nodded firmly. She must protect everyone and complete the task assigned to her by Mou Xuan.
Just as Shen Yao turned around and prepared to retreat, the metal creature suddenly opened its huge mouth and let out a deafening roar. The entire base was shrouded in its shadow...
"Run! Run!"
"Mom! I don't want to die!"
Screams of fear echoed throughout the base, like the death knell of hell, announcing the coming of doomsday.
"boom--"
The sharp claws of the metal creature tore open the dome of the base... "Yaoyao, take it and survive..."
