I didn't know how to react to this sudden explosive news. The impact of this news was much greater than when Pandora told me that the broken metal plate was an "Ethereal Beacon". I couldn't help but wonder if the author knew what she was writing … Nonsense! I misspoke …
I looked around and noticed that there was no light source in this underground space, but it was as bright as day. We could clearly see everything in the hall.
The entire hall was about the size of a football field and was made entirely of huge stones. The square bricks on the floor were engraved with strange patterns and patterns. On the wall next to us, there were engravings of unknown meaning. It looked like some kind of sacrificial scene. On average, there was a thick square stone pillar supporting the roof every 20 meters or so. These stone pillars were also covered with what looked like hieroglyphs.
Apart from the entrance that we came from, there was an entrance of similar size on each wall of the hall in every direction. In addition to that, there were a total of four passages that were connected to this hall.
As an ancient ruin, the architectural standards of this hall could be considered very high. However, this place had nothing in common with the futuristic Schilling architecture that I had seen before.
"Pandora, are you sure this is the cemetery of the Schilling warriors? There isn't a single piece of advanced equipment in this place. "
"This place is filled with the aura of an ancient carbon-based civilization, but the architectural structure is exactly the same as the resting place of the Schilling warriors. Although the carvings and texts here have been altered by the carbon-based lifeforms according to their understanding, we can still see traces of the original Schilling language … More importantly, there is a working Schilling device here …"
"What?!" I was shocked. Just as I was about to ask for more details, I heard Lin Xue shout in surprise, "Everyone, close your eyes!"
Although we didn't know what Lin Xue meant, we didn't doubt her and closed our eyes together.
"Ah!"
"What's going on …"
"How is this possible …"
"I can still see …"
"… Stop making up the word count … Oh …"
All kinds of exclamations sounded one after another.
We were surprised to find that even if we closed our eyes, the scene in the hall was still clearly in front of us.
Almost at the same time, we raised our hands to touch our faces to make sure that our eyelids were still there.
"The mental imaging system can directly cut the image into the thinking circuit of the creature within the range of effect, and the degree of restoration can reach 99.99% or more. We usually combine this technology with virtual reality technology to conduct special combat exercises for the soldiers …"
"In other words, everything here is an illusion?!" My heart jumped and I wanted to remind everyone.
"No … The mental imaging system installed here seems to be to allow the people who enter to see the scene in the hall smoothly. The image transmitted is exactly the same as the real situation in the hall."
At this time, Lin Xue also discovered this through her ability. She waved her hand to calm her somewhat uneasy companions and said, "Don't worry, everyone. This is not an illusion. It seems that some kind of device in the ruins allows us to see the scene in the hall without using conventional means."
"… Is this place really an ancient ruin?" Lin Feng said what most of the people present were thinking.
The strangeness of the ruins made everyone even more cautious. Lin Xue activated her sensory ability to the maximum, Zheng Yiming walked to the front of the team to deal with any danger that might appear at any time, Lin Feng's right hand was surrounded by a circle of faint green wind blades, and Sicarro carefully held his bag full of pirated disks in his arms …
… Uncle, are you really not a spy sent by the enemy to cause trouble? Or is your real purpose here to expand the user base of your pirated disks to the ancient tomb zombies?
"Wait …" Shallow Shallow, who hadn't said much since the beginning and had only followed behind everyone carefully, suddenly reminded us. We turned around and saw that the hexagonal metal plate that Shallow Shallow had been holding was trembling slightly, and one of the edges was even emitting a dim red light.
"It suddenly became like this …"
We looked at each other, and I suggested, "Why don't you try turning this thing around?"
Shallow Shallow obeyed and turned the metal plate. We saw that the edge emitting the red light had also changed, just like a compass.
"Follow the direction indicated by the red light."
Lin Xue looked at me in surprise and said, "I didn't expect you to be so smart in addition to being destructive."
… If you had a 'Ethereal Beacon' living instruction manual like the little Pandora, you could easily make the same suggestion.
Following behind Lin Xue, we came to an exit on the side of the hall, and a dark tunnel appeared in front of us.
I complained to Pandora through our mental connection, "Which stingy Shiring Apostles built this place? Would it kill them to install a few more 'Spirit Imaging Systems'? If it really doesn't work, they can also install a light bulb …"
"If brother is unhappy about this, we will think of a way to find the creator of this underground tomb and punish him accordingly."
"Er … Could it be that you didn't hear that I was joking?"
"Wait a minute!" Lin Xue suddenly shouted just as we turned on the cold light we carried with us and prepared to enter the pitch-black tunnel.
"What's wrong, sis? You'll be so scared that you'll go crazy! "Lin Feng was so scared that he almost tripped and said unhappily.
Lin Xue looked at the dark tunnel in front of us with an uneasy expression and said softly, "I suddenly have a really uneasy feeling …"
I was shocked and immediately raised my guard. I didn't doubt Lin Xue's words at all. That was a skill that even Pandora said was powerful!
"Everyone be careful!" Zheng Yiming hissed. Then, a translucent layer of protection swiftly covered everyone. Almost at the same time, more than a hundred dark red light beams shot out from the square bricks on the floor. They moved through the cracks on the floor toward us.
"Quick, everyone retreat into the tunnel! I can't block all the attacks! " Zheng Yiming saw that his protective layer was on the verge of collapsing after blocking the first few light beams and quickly shouted.
"No … We can't get in!" Shallow Shallow tried to hide in the tunnel behind her, but she realized that she was blocked by an invisible barrier. She couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
"Pandora," I immediately asked mentally, "What's going on?!"
"Analyzing — — Confirming the attacker's identity — — EL-305 automatic defense system, requesting connection — — Request denied — — Submitting high authority mark — — The other party has refused to accept authority identification … Brother, this is a type of defense system commonly used by the Xiling Empire. It seems to have malfunctioned due to the long time it has been in use. I am unable to terminate it through normal means."
"Is there any way?" Seeing that there were obvious cracks in Zheng Yiming's defensive layer, I started to get anxious.
"I am unable to accurately locate the position of the host of this defense system. There are two ways to deal with it. First, the Defender of the Sicaro Army can completely defend against this type of energy attack. Second, my redesigned photon floating cannon array can completely destroy this ruin to terminate the attack. Both methods will produce a huge energy fluctuation and obvious observable phenomenon. The probability of being observed by the carbon-based life on this planet is 99.915%."
"… Is there a more covert plan?"
Although the situation was extremely dire, Pandora's voice was still calm. "There is a backup plan, but it might produce unpredictable results. Use the Ethereal Beacon that I carry to teleport everyone out of this place. However, I am unable to confirm if there is a spatial interference system here, so the teleportation might not be successful."
"Let's try it first. If the teleportation fails, then use your superweapon."
Pandora nodded and closed her eyes to hide her pupils that were about to change color.
At this moment, I saw the Ethereal Beacon in Qian Qian's hand, the one I got from Gu Zhengfeng and was basically useless, suddenly shine with a blinding red light!
