Chapter 515: Fierce Battle Against the Enemy and Clues from the Ruins
The mechanical beast attacked again with overwhelming force, each strike causing the passage to tremble. The flying debris and shockwaves left Lin Yu and his companions in grave danger. While dodging the attacks, Lin Yu frantically searched his mind for a solution. He knew that a brute-force assault would be futile; he needed to find a different approach.
"Conserve your energy, everyone! Don't attack blindly! Pay attention to its attack rhythm and pattern!" Lin Yu shouted through the communicator. Hearing this, the team members stopped their pointless firing and began to carefully observe the mechanical beast's movements. Through repeated attacks and dodges, they gradually discovered that before each powerful attack, the red light in the mechanical beast's eyes would flash and intensify briefly.
"Wait until its eyes flash red and it launches its attack, then we'll counterattack, taking advantage of its momentary lapse in attack to catch it off guard!" Lin Yu quickly informed his team members of this discovery. The others nodded in agreement, gripped their weapons, and focused intently on the mechanical beast.
A moment later, the red light in the mechanical beast's eyes began to flash. Just as it opened its mouth to fire an energy beam, Lin Yu shouted, "Attack!" The team members fired simultaneously, laser beams raining down on the mechanical beast's leg joints. The mechanical beast stiffened abruptly upon being attacked, causing its attacks to veer off course.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Yu and his team increased their firepower. Under the continuous attack, the cracks at the joints of the mechanical beast's legs grew larger and larger, until finally, with a "crack," one leg gave way, and it collapsed to its knees. The mechanical beast let out a defiant roar, struggling to get up, but before it could make a move, Lin Yu seized the opportunity, turned the power of his weapon to maximum, and shot a powerful laser beam towards the mechanical beast's core.
With a deafening roar, the mechanical beast's core exploded, its body instantly engulfed by the powerful energy, reduced to a pile of scrap metal. Lin Yu and his team collapsed to the ground, exhausted, panting heavily. The arduous battle was finally won.
After a short rest, they continued along the passage. At the end of the passage was a huge circular hall, in the center of which stood a stone platform emitting a faint light. Lin Yu and the others approached and discovered an exquisite box on the platform, its surface engraved with patterns similar to those on the stone door.
"Could this be the box where the key is stored?" Ellie asked excitedly. Lin Yu nodded, and he carefully touched the patterns on the box, trying to open it. However, like the stone door, the box also had a defense mechanism. When Lin Yu's fingers touched the patterns, the box suddenly shot out several energy threads, tightly binding his hand.
"Watch out!" The team members rushed over, trying to help Lin Yu untangle the energy threads. But these threads were incredibly tough, becoming tighter the more he struggled. Lin Yu endured the pain, carefully observing the connection between the energy threads and the box. He discovered that the energy of the threads seemed to be somehow related to the patterns on the box.
Lin Yu calmed himself down and recalled the order in which he touched the patterns when he opened the stone door. He tried to touch the other patterns on the box in the same rhythm, and a miracle happened: the energy threads wrapped around his hand slowly loosened and eventually disappeared.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Lin Yu tried to open the box again. This time, the box did not resist and slowly opened. A dazzling light shone out of the box, and when the light dissipated, a key exuding a mysterious aura appeared before everyone's eyes. The handle of the key was engraved with ancient symbols, and a crystal-clear gem was inlaid at the top, emitting a soft light.
"We've found the first key!" the team members cheered excitedly. Lin Yu carefully picked up the key and examined the symbols on it closely. He had a feeling that these symbols were not just decorations, but might also contain clues about the next key.
Just then, Xavier's voice came through the communicator: "Lin Yu, how's the situation over there? We've run into some trouble. We triggered a powerful defense system while searching for the key, and we're having trouble breaking through." Lin Yu's expression tightened, and he said, "We've found the first key and are coming to support you right away. What's the specific situation on your end?" Xavier briefly described their predicament, and after listening, Lin Yu immediately led his team towards Xavier's location. What dangers would they encounter on their way to Xavier's aid? Would they be able to successfully help Xavier find the second key?
