After resting for a few days, the expedition team gathered again.
Looking at the familiar yet slightly weird entrance to the ruins, the team members felt mixed emotions.
The last expedition was fruitful, but also full of dangers. The thrill of being on the verge of death still makes my adrenaline rush when I think back on it now.
"Brothers, let's go in again this time and try to turn the ruins upside down!" Explorer Ban was as generous as ever. He waved his hand and took the lead to step into the deep entrance.
"Tsk tsk, this place looks like a horror movie scene no matter how you look at it." Navigator Fu muttered softly, with a barely perceptible tremor in his tone.
"Don't worry, Brother Xuan is here, there's nothing to be afraid of." Hunter Zhong patted Navigator Fu on the shoulder and signaled with his eyes to Mou Xuan who was walking in front.
A group of people walked in one after another. The familiar passage and stone walls were yet faintly eerie and strange.
The air was filled with a damp and decaying smell, mixed with a strange, indescribable odor.
Soon, they arrived at the area where they obtained resources last time, but it was no longer the same as they remembered.
The originally empty ground is now covered with holes of various shapes, with faint blue light emanating from the edges of the holes.
"Oh my god, what the hell is this?" The explorer exclaimed and subconsciously tightened the weapon in his hand.
"This...this..." Scientist Zhuo pushed his glasses, squatted down and carefully observed the holes, his brows furrowed, and he kept muttering some incomprehensible professional terms.
"Have you found anything, Lao Zhuo?" Mou Xuan walked up to Scientist Zhuo and asked.
"It's so weird. The structure of these traps is completely illogical and different from any mechanical principles we know. It's simply incredible!" Scientist Zhuo muttered to himself, his face full of confusion and puzzlement.
The team members' moods also became heavy, and a depressing atmosphere spread among the team.
Unknown traps appeared in the area that had been explored before, which made them begin to wonder what was hidden in the depths of the ruins?
"This...are we going to be trapped here and die?" Navigator Fu's voice was trembling.
"Why are you panicking? Brother Xuan is here, he's a very capable guy!" Hunter Zhong pretended to be calm and comforted everyone.
"Something's wrong!" Mou Xuan's eyes swept across the pits emitting faint light. He did not rely on Scientist Zhuo like last time. Instead, he slowly approached one of the pits, squatted down, and carefully observed every detail around the trap.
His movements were slow and focused, as if he was searching for something.
"Brother Xuan, are you... going to work alone?" Explorer Ban scratched his head, looking puzzled.
In the past, it would be Zhuo the scientist who would analyze the situation for a long time, and then everyone would carefully avoid the trap. But why did Mou Xuan do it himself this time?
Could it be that he has awakened some hidden skill of "Trap Master"?
The others were also confused, and the atmosphere of curiosity and tension became increasingly intense.
Only Hunter Zhong looked calm, as if he had expected it, with a smug smile of "I knew it" on his lips.
Mou Xuan ignored everyone's doubts. He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had entered a wonderful state.
Everything around him slowed down in his eyes, and the blue light at the edge of the pit began to flicker, like some kind of signal light.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes sharply, "Back! Three steps!"
Before everyone could react, they heard a "click" and the ground where they were standing suddenly collapsed, revealing a dark deep pit.
If Mou Xuan hadn't reminded them in time, they would probably have fallen in.
"Shit! That was a close call!" The explorer broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't help but swear.
The others were also terrified and looked at Mou Xuan with admiration.
"Brother Xuan, how did you know?" Navigator Fu's voice was still a little trembling, and it was obvious that he had not recovered from the shock yet.
"The secret cannot be revealed." Mou Xuan smiled mysteriously and kept it a secret.
In fact, he used his time ability to see the scene before the trap was activated, just like having a God's perspective, which enabled him to foresee the danger in advance.
Next, Mou Xuan seemed to have been given a cheat code. He could accurately predict the location of the trap every time and lead everyone along the way without any obstacles.
The originally tense atmosphere was swept away, replaced by cheerful laughter.
"Brother Xuan is awesome!"
"666, Brother Xuan's operation is simply amazing!"
"My mother asked me why I was kneeling to watch the live broadcast, and I said I was worshipping Brother Xuan!"
The team members turned into "rainbow fart" launchers and were full of admiration for Mou Xuan's special abilities.
"Low profile, low profile, basic operations, basic operations." Mou Xuan said to be low-key, but the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be concealed.
It feels so good to be admired by everyone!
Just as everyone was laughing and moving forward, Mou Xuan suddenly felt something poke under his feet.
He subconsciously bent down to pick it up, but found...
What he picked up turned out to be a simple handkerchief embroidered with delicate orchids.
This handkerchief...
Was it given to him by Chen Yao?
How could you be in a place like this?
Has she been here too?
Mou Xuan's heart trembled, and a warm current surged into his heart, but he immediately suppressed it.
Now is not the time for sentimental things, business is what’s important!
He carefully put away the handkerchief and was about to get up when his foot suddenly slipped, he lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.
