Chapter 593 Unexpected Alliance and Mysterious Crisis
With the firepower support of the Guardian warship, Lin Yu successfully piloted the warship to shake off the spacecraft's entanglement and landed on the planet's surface. As soon as he stepped out of the hatch, a damp and pungent smell hit him. Before him lay a dim primeval forest, where huge ferns grew rampant, their vines intertwined and emitting an eerie glow.
"Something's not right here. Everyone, be on your guard." Lin Yu gripped his energy weapon tightly, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily. The team members spread out in battle formation, and Ellie quickly activated her portable detector, her brow furrowed as she intently scanned the unusual energy fluctuations around them.
Suddenly, a deep roar came from the depths of the jungle, filled with threat. Xiao Wang gripped his weapon tightly, tense. "What's that sound? It feels like something big is about to come out." No sooner had he spoken than a gigantic beast leaped out of the bushes. It was more than two people tall, its body covered in rough black scales, its massive claws carving deep furrows in the ground, and its blood-red vertical pupils radiating intense aggression.
"Watch out, prepare for battle!" Lin Yu shouted, firing an energy beam at the beast first. The team members reacted quickly, raining laser beams upon the beast. However, the beast's scales were exceptionally hard, and most of the attacks were deflected, leaving only shallow scratches on its body.
"This beast's defense is too strong; ordinary attacks are useless!" Ellie shouted anxiously. Lin Yu quickly observed the beast's movements and noticed that the scales on its belly were relatively sparse. "Attack its belly!" he shouted, while nimbly dodging the beast's attacks and looking for an opportunity to get close to its belly.
With everyone's cooperation, a laser beam finally struck the beast's abdomen. The beast roared in pain, swayed a few times, turned, and darted into the jungle, disappearing from sight.
After a fierce battle, the group rested briefly before continuing their advance. Suddenly, Ellie stopped, excitedly exclaiming, "Wait! The detector has detected unusual energy fluctuations ahead; it's very likely related to the key!"
Following the direction of the energy fluctuations, the group arrived at an ancient ruin. The ruin's gate was tightly closed, covered with strange symbols and patterns. Lin Yu stepped forward, carefully studying the symbols, trying to find a way to open the gate.
Just then, they heard footsteps behind them. They turned around and saw a group of soldiers from the Dark Organization, dressed in black uniforms, emerging from the jungle. Leading them was a tall man wearing a strange mask.
"Hand over the key, or none of you will leave here alive!" the masked man said viciously. Lin Yu sneered, "We haven't found the key yet, and even if we did, we wouldn't hand it over to you dark forces!"
Just as tensions were running high, the gate to the ruins suddenly emitted light and slowly opened. A powerful surge of energy erupted, startling everyone present. Upon seeing this, the masked man immediately ordered his soldiers to rush into the ruins and seize the key. Lin Yu and his group, not to be outdone, quickly followed suit.
The interior of the ruins was dark and mysterious, with glowing crystals embedded in the walls illuminating the narrow passages. They proceeded cautiously, when suddenly, Xiao Wang shouted, "Look, what's that!" Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a golden key lying quietly on a stone platform at the end of the passage—the very first key they had been searching for.
However, before they could even get close, the ground suddenly shook, and numerous mechanical puppets surged out from both sides of the passage. These puppets were enormous, wielding sharp blades, and inching closer to the group. Could Lin Yu and his companions break through the double encirclement of the mechanical puppets and the dark organization, successfully obtaining the first key? What unimaginable crises would they encounter next?
