The buzzing sound of the distortion of time and space became sharper and sharper, like countless nails scratching on a blackboard, piercing Mou Xuan's eardrums.
Visible ripples spread in the air, tumbling like boiling water, and the color gradually deepened from the initial light blue to a heart-pounding dark purple.
He knew that they didn't have much time left.
"Mr. Xiao, what's the situation?" Mou Xuan's voice seemed intermittent due to the distortion of time and space, as if it came from a long distance.
Mr. Xiao, the most experienced space-time expert in the team, now had a grim face and stared at the space-time detector in his hand.
The pointer on the instrument spun wildly, making a shrill alarm sound, and the bright red warning light on the screen flashed continuously, as if it would explode in the next second.
"It's terrible, Mou Xuan. This space-time trap is much more complicated than we expected! The frequency of space-time fluctuations is increasing exponentially. If we can't find a solution in a short time, we will all be sucked into the space-time turbulence and die!"
The shadow of death loomed over the entire team.
The breathing of the other team members also became rapid, and fear spread in everyone's eyes.
"There must be a way!" Mou Xuan gritted his teeth and forced himself to calm down.
He looked around and noticed that the surging space-time ripples did not seem to be evenly distributed, but were fluctuating violently around some light spots that were flashing strange light.
"Mr. Xiao, look at those light spots! The fluctuations in space and time seem to be related to them!"
Old Xiao followed Mou Xuan's line of sight and said in a turbid voice, "Energy nodes! These light spots are the convergence points of space-time energy. They are likely to be the key to the space-time trap!"
"Feng, go collect samples of those energy nodes! Tao, Peng, you are responsible for protecting Feng's safety!" Mou Xuan acted decisively and issued orders quickly.
Feng, the space-time resource collector in the team, a thin but extremely flexible young man, rushed out without hesitation after hearing the order.
The collector in his hand flashed blue light, like a hunting cheetah, shuttling through distorted time and space.
Tao and Peng, a veteran and defense expert of the expedition team respectively, followed closely behind, their weapons emitting a terrifying cold light, and they watched everything around them vigilantly.
The distortion of time and space made Feng's movements extremely difficult. Every step was like walking in a swamp, making it difficult to move.
But he didn't dare to slack off at all. Sweat soaked his clothes, but he gritted his teeth and approached the energy node step by step.
Tao and Peng were like two guardian gods, guarding Feng on the left and right.
The weapons in their hands constantly repelled the space-time monsters that tried to approach. These monsters had different shapes and were hideous and terrifying. They appeared and disappeared in the distorted space and time, like evil spirits from hell.
The battle was extremely fierce and both Tao and Peng were injured, but they did not retreat at all.
They knew that if Feng failed to complete the collection mission, all of them would die here.
Finally, Feng successfully collected energy samples.
He carefully put the collector back into his backpack, and then, under the cover of Tao and Peng, he returned to the team with difficulty.
"Mr. Xiao, the sample collection is complete!" Feng's voice was trembling a little, but more of it was the excitement after completing the task.
Mr. Xiao took the collector and immediately began to analyze the energy sample.
As time passed, the surrounding space-time fluctuations became more and more violent, and everyone's hearts were in their throats.
"Got it!" After an unknown amount of time, Mr. Xiao suddenly raised his head, a glimmer of hope flashing in his cloudy old eyes.
"The energy properties of these energy nodes repel each other. We can use their interaction to create a reverse space-time fluctuation to offset the current space-time trap!"
"Great!" Mou Xuan was delighted and immediately arranged for the team members to act according to Mr. Xiao's plan.
"Everyone, get ready immediately! Arrange the energy devices according to Elder Xiao's instructions!"
A race against time begins...
The suction of the space-time trap was like a greedy beast slowly opening its bloody mouth. The distorted light gradually returned to normal, and the oppressive air became breathable again.
The team members staggered back to the designated safe zone, each with a look of relief on their face for having survived the disaster.
The escape just now was like snatching a life back from the hands of death.
"Report to the captain, the space-time fluctuation readings have returned to normal!" A young team member's voice trembled slightly, but could not hide his excitement.
Mou Xuan's tense nerves relaxed slightly, he took a deep breath, and the suffocating feeling in his chest finally dissipated.
They succeeded!
They actually reversed the fluctuations of time and space and escaped from that damn place!
This action not only proved the correctness of their theory, but more importantly, they accumulated valuable practical experience and laid a solid foundation for future exploration of deeper mysteries of time and space.
He looked around, his eyes scanning the faces of each team member, with excitement in their exhaustion and hope in their fear.
He knew that this battle with time was far from over, and might even have just begun.
But at this moment, they have won a chance to catch their breath and the courage to continue fighting.
"Check the equipment immediately, replenish energy, and prepare for the next step of detection!" Mou Xuan's tone was firm and left no room for doubt.
Although they have escaped from the time and space trap, this area of time and space disorder is still full of dangers. They must figure out what happened here as soon as possible in order to find a way to leave completely.
The team members acted quickly and began to check their equipment, replenish energy blocks, and adjust the output power of the energy shield.
