The fluorescent light exuded a cold color, flickering rhythmically with the footsteps of the crowd, as if whispering that danger was approaching.

Suddenly, a sharp electric sound came from the communicator.

Then, Elena Voss's mocking laugh rang out: "Xu An, do you think you can find the energy source so easily? How naive!" The voice echoed in the silent passage, carrying a chilling chill.

Chapter 465 The ground suddenly began to shake violently!!

Xu An's face darkened, and his originally resolute face was now covered with a layer of gloom.

He subconsciously tightened his grip on the weapon, his joints turning slightly white from the exertion, and whispered.

"Elena Voss, what do you want?" The voice was low but powerful, and it faintly echoed in the passage.

"This ruins is filled with traps I set. Every step you take is a step towards death."

Elena Voss's tone was cold, revealing her ruthlessness, as if one could see her cold and ruthless face through the communicator.

As soon as the words fell, the ground shook violently.

Countless spikes 537 erupted from the walls on both sides, piercing the crowd at breakneck speed. These spikes were composed of an unknown black metal, their surface gleaming with a cold light, and they were clearly incredibly sharp.

Xu An reacted quickly, his eyes widened instantly, and he shouted, "Scatter!"

He dodged to the side, as agile as a cheetah, avoiding a sharp thorn.

At the same time, he stretched out his strong arm and pulled Zhao Lin, a team member who was almost hit.

Zhao Lin's face was pale, he was gasping for breath in fear, and his steps were staggering. He only managed to steady himself thanks to Xu An's pull.

The team members used their own skills to dodge the attacks in the narrow passage.

Li He is agile. He jumps and rolls flexibly, like a nimble fish, skillfully avoiding one sharp thorn after another.

Xiao Wang was a little flustered. He accidentally bumped into the wall while dodging and cried out "Ouch" in pain. A look of pain appeared on his face, but he still forced himself to continue dodging.

While dodging, Kylo shouted, "Captain, this is not a solution. We have to find a way to break the trap!" His voice trembled slightly with nervousness, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his eyes revealed anxiety.

Xu An glanced around with eyes as sharp as an eagle, and found some tiny patterns flashing on the wall, which seemed to be related to the operation of the trap.

These patterns are in strange spiral shapes, emitting a faint blue light, and appear particularly mysterious under the cold fluorescent light.

He ventured closer to the wall, leaning forward slightly, his eyes fixed on the pattern, examining it closely.

"Don't panic, everyone. These patterns may be the key. Kylo, ​​you and I will study them together, and the others will continue to defend!" The voice was steady and powerful, injecting a sense of calmness into the team members.

The two quickly analyzed the pattern, trying to figure out how to stop the trap.

Kylo's brows were furrowed, and the wrinkles on his forehead were like ravines. He gently ran his fingers over the pattern, muttering to himself, "The changing pattern of this pattern seems to be related to the triggering frequency of the trap..."

Xu An listened quietly on the side, nodding from time to time, and sometimes putting forward his own opinions, his eyes focused and firm.

At this time, Elena Voss was on the flagship with a sneer on her lips. This smile was like frost in the cold winter, which made people shudder.

She said to her adjutant, "Increase the energy output of the trap. I will make sure they die without a burial place!" Her voice was sharp and decisive, as if it could cut through the air.

The adjutant looked worried, his brows twisted into the shape of a "川" character, and spoke cautiously.

"General, will this destroy the energy source in the ruins?" His eyes revealed a hint of uneasiness, and his body leaned forward slightly, as if waiting for Elena Voss's wrath.

Elena Voss's eyes turned fierce, a glint of madness flashed in her eyes, and she shouted loudly.

Chapter 466: Defend First, Then Find Other Ways Out

 "I can't care about so many things anymore. I must not let Xu An and the others succeed!" She tightly grasped the edge of the command platform with both hands, her knuckles turned white, showing her extreme anger.

In the ruins, the traps are becoming more violent and the spikes are attacking at a faster rate.

The already tense atmosphere became even more solemn, and a suffocating sense of oppression filled the air.

Xu An's forehead was covered with sweat, and beads of sweat as big as beans slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground.

His hands trembled slightly, but he remained focused on studying the pattern. The trembling was an instinctive reaction to the intense pressure on his body, but his eyes were incredibly firm, as if no difficulty could shake him.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he shouted excitedly: "Kylo, ​​I think I found a pattern!"

"The changes in this pattern are related to the rhythm of the trap. We can use it to pause the trap." There was a hint of joy and excitement in his voice that was difficult to conceal.

The two acted quickly, operating the pattern as they had guessed.

Their fingers danced across the pattern, their movements practiced and eager.

Just when the spikes were about to stab everyone again, the trap miraculously stopped.

At that moment, the whole world seemed to be quiet, with only the heavy breathing of the team members echoing in the corridor.

The team members breathed a sigh of relief and gathered around.

Zhao Lin patted his chest, his face showing the relief of having survived a disaster: "Finally I escaped this disaster. I was really scared just now."

Xiao Wang also echoed: "Yeah, it was too dangerous, thanks to the captain and Kailuo."

Before they could recover, Elena Voss's voice came from the communicator again.

"Not bad, you can actually break this trap. But this is just the appetizer." There was a hint of unwillingness and a stronger sense of provocation in the voice.

Immediately afterwards, a large amount of corrosive liquid gushed out from the passage ahead and quickly spread over.

These liquids were a strange dark green in color and emitted a pungent smell. Wherever they went, the ground and walls were corroded with sizzling sounds and bursts of green smoke.

Xu An looked at the approaching liquid, his brows furrowed, his brain working rapidly, his eyes revealing calmness and decisiveness.

He quickly analyzed the current situation and after a moment, gave a decisive order.

"We retreat back to the room we were just in, use the terrain there to defend ourselves, and then try to find another way out." The voice was firm and powerful, leaving no room for doubt.

· ····Request flowers····0

The team members quickly retreated back to the room, moving quickly and orderly.

They used the energy shield device on the battleship to build a temporary line of defense at the door, temporarily blocking the corrosive liquid.

The energy shield flashed with a faint blue light, competing with the dark green liquid. The junction emitted a strong light and a crackling sound, like a silent war.

 …

When Elena Voss learned that the trap had been broken, her face became terribly gloomy, like the sky before a storm.

Her lips trembled slightly, the muscles on her face twisted with anger, and she spoke through gritted teeth.

"Activate the self-destruction program of the ruins. Even if we can't get the energy source, we can't let Xu An get it!" The voice was full of madness and determination.

The adjutant said in horror: "General, once the self-destruct sequence is activated, the entire ruins will explode, and we won't be able to get close enough to obtain the energy source."

His voice trembled slightly, and his body shrank back slightly, as if he was afraid of being angered by Elena Voss.

Elena Voss gritted her teeth, a ferocious look of hesitation on her face: "We can't let them win, start!"

Chapter 467 might be related to preventing self-destruction!!!

Her eyes revealed a desperate ruthlessness, as if she had fallen into a mad obsession.

In the ruins, Xu An and the others felt the entire space begin to shake violently, and alarms continued to sound. The alarms were sharp and piercing, like the roar of a demon, echoing in their ears.

Kylo said in panic: "Captain, it's not good, the ruins are going to explode!" His eyes were wide open, his face was full of horror, and his voice changed tone due to fear, "five three seven".

Xu An looked around, his eyes as firm as the North Star in the cold night, and he shouted loudly.

"We must have a solution. Let's split up and look for a hidden emergency exit or a device that can prevent self-destruction!"

The voice rang out firmly in the shaking space, bringing a glimmer of hope to the team members.

The team members acted quickly, searching the rooms and corridors.

Li He groped along the wall inch by inch, not missing any corner.

Zhao Lin carefully examined every suspicious pattern and symbol, trying to find clues.

Xiao Wang climbed up to a high place to check if there were any hidden mechanisms on the ceiling.

Xu An was not idle either. He came to the center of the room, squatted down, and carefully observed the patterns on the ground.

These lines were intricate and interwoven into a mysterious pattern. He gently ran his fingers over the lines, trying to sense the secrets hidden within.

During the intense search, time passed by minute by minute, and the shaking of the ruins became more and more violent. Every vibration seemed to remind everyone that death was approaching step by step.

But Xu An and his team members did not give up. There was still a determination in their eyes as they searched for a glimmer of hope for life in these dangerous ruins.

Suddenly, Xiao Wang shouted from a high place: "Captain, I seem to have found a strange groove. I wonder what it is used for."

Xu An immediately stood up, walked quickly to the bottom, looked up and said, "Don't move, I'll go up and take a look."

He quickly climbed to a higher place and came to Xiao Wang.

There was a circular groove on the wall, and the groove was engraved with strange symbols. These symbols emitted a faint light and seemed to be telling something.

Xu An and Xiao Wang looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion and expectation.

"Could this be related to preventing self-destruction?" Xiao Wang asked quietly...

Xu An did not answer. He carefully observed the grooves and the surrounding symbols, trying to find the connection between them.

At this time, Kailuo also ran over. He said breathlessly: "Captain, I found some patterns similar to this groove on the other side, but I just can't figure out their meaning."

Xu An frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Call everyone over and let's study together. There's strength in numbers, and maybe we can find a way to crack it."

The team members quickly gathered together, and everyone gathered around the grooves and the patterns, discussing them in a lively manner.

Some people put forward their own guesses, while others added to them. The atmosphere was heated and tense.

Just as everyone was arguing, Xiao Chen, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly said, "I seem to have seen these symbols somewhere before. Let me think about it..."

He closed his eyes, frowned, and tried hard to recall.

After a while, Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes and said excitedly, "I remember now. In the ancient documents we studied before, there were similar symbols. They seemed to be related to an energy control device."

Chapter 468: Stopping the opponent's self-destruction mode

Xu An's eyes lit up and he pressed on, "Are you sure? What's the connection between this groove and the energy control device?"

Xiao Chen scratched his head and said uncertainly, "I'm not sure exactly, but I remember the literature mentioning that these symbols are the key to activating a certain device. Perhaps this groove is where the activation device is placed."

Xu An pondered for a moment, then said to everyone: "Anyway, this is our only clue at the moment. Let's first look around and see if there's anything that can fit into this groove."

The team members dispersed again and searched carefully in the ruins.

This time, their goal is clearer, and everyone is looking forward to finding that key item, preventing the ruins from self-destructing, and saving everyone's lives.

During the tense search, the vibrations of the ruins became stronger and stronger. Stones kept falling from the ceiling, hitting the ground and splashing up a cloud of dust.

Every tremor was terrifying, but the team members did not retreat at all. They had only one belief in their hearts: to find a way to prevent self-destruction.

Suddenly, Li He found a round object emitting faint light in a corner, and its size matched the groove exactly.

Li He shouted excitedly: "Captain, I think I found it!"

Xu An and the others quickly ran over and looked at the object in Li He's hand, their hearts filled with hope.

"That's it, come on, let's try it." Xu An said anxiously.

They took the round object and came to the groove.

Xu An took a deep breath and carefully placed the object into the groove.

At the moment the object touched the groove, the whole room suddenly lit up, and dynamic pictures appeared on the surrounding walls, showing the history and secrets of the relic.

Everyone looked at these scenes in amazement, momentarily forgetting the danger around them.

However, before they could figure out the meaning of these images, the vibrations of the ruins intensified again, and the sound of the self-destruction countdown became more and more rapid.

Xu An realized that time was running out and they had to find a way to stop the self-destruction as soon as possible.

He looked at the pictures on the wall, trying to find clues.

Suddenly, he noticed a console-like device appearing on the screen, with several buttons on it, which seemed to be the key to controlling the ruins.

"Look everyone, this device may be what we are looking for." Xu An said, pointing to the screen.

The team members looked in the direction of his finger, and sparks of hope ignited in their eyes.

"But how do we find this console?" Kylo asked with a frown.

Xu An looked at the screen again and found that the screen showed that the console was located in the deepest part of the ruins, which was full of various dangerous traps and powerful defense mechanisms.

"No matter how many difficulties there are, we must give it a try." Xu An said firmly.

"Everyone follow me, be careful of traps."

The team members followed Xu An and headed towards the deepest part of the ruins.
