Acai's Sky

Chapter 971 Ancient God Remains: Meteorite Mine 2

Tong Jiayuan took the lead in launching an attack. The energy arrows shot from the compound bow drew brilliant trajectories in the air, streaking across the night sky like meteors.

The arrow hit the mist parasite accurately, an explosion sounded, and the energy wave knocked the parasite back.

But these parasites seemed to feel no pain and soon pounced on him again, even faster than before.

Mozhe Mo Shiqi swung the mechanical chain in his hand, and the barbs on the chain hooked onto a parasite. He pulled it hard and dragged it in front of him.

Mo Zhe Mo Jiu took the opportunity to swing his sword and cut off the parasite's head, blood splattering everywhere, but the head was still wriggling after falling to the ground, and its tentacles were still waving in the air.

A Cai brandished his sword, and the golden sword energy crisscrossed in the air, repelling the approaching parasites one by one.

Her eyes were calm, and each swing of her sword was precise. The Mechanical Heart shone brightly in her hand, as if sensing the intensity of the battle. Wherever the light reached, the parasites roared in pain and began to melt.

The battle became more intense, and more mist parasites emerged from the mist, surrounding everyone.

Their number seems endless, one wave after another, as if they can never be killed.

Everyone stood back to back, struggling to resist the attack of the parasite, their clothes soaked with sweat.

Ah Er suddenly opened his backpack and pulled out a strangely shaped sprayer amidst the sound of metal collision.

This was the result of his overnight improvements using the rusted gear drawings. The brass pipes were winding and dark purple corrosive liquid crystals were condensed on the nozzles.

He pressed the handle hard, and the atomized acid rushed out like a poisonous dragon from a cave, leaving strange green marks in the air.

The moment the corrosive liquid splashed onto the parasite, a sharp hissing pierced the mine.

The gray-green skin was like burning paper, emitting white smoke and quickly carbonizing, revealing the wriggling black muscles underneath.

A tentacle of the parasite brushed against Ah Er's shoulder. He turned the valve of the sprayer to the maximum with his backhand, and the corrosive liquid spurted out like a fountain, directly melting the monster's head into a pool of bubbling mucus.

Ah Cai's long sword was wrapped in golden runes and slashed. Wherever the sword energy passed, ripples appeared in the space.

Whenever the blade touched the parasite, the runes turned into chains to bind it, and then exploded.

The mechanical heart vibrated violently in her chest, and the light and sword energy merged, illuminating the entire area as bright as day.

Tong Jiayuan's arrows formed an electric net in the air, the Mohists' mechanical weapons spewed out flames and cold light, the sound of metal collision and the roar of monsters intertwined, echoing a terrifying melody in the mine.

When the last parasite fell in a pool of blood, the crowd's gasps had not yet subsided when a strange green light suddenly appeared in the fog ahead.

Hundreds of dim green lights flickered in the darkness, like ghost lights in the underworld, or like countless pairs of demon eyes, staring coldly at the intruders.

Ah Cai gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, feeling the uneasy tremors coming from the mechanical heart - this was a more dangerous existence than before.

"It's the core area of ​​the foggy maze!"

Ah Cai's voice was trembling, "The glow of these minerals is definitely not accidental!"

Her eyes swept across the cave wall. The minerals embedded in the rock wall were flashing regularly, sometimes as slow as a heartbeat, sometimes as fast as a drumbeat, as if telling some ancient code.

Tong Jiaren knelt on one knee, the scanner in his hand flashing blue light. "The light frequency of these minerals... looks like some kind of encrypted signal!"

His pupils reflected the data jumping on the instrument. "Every alternation between light and dark corresponds to a specific sound wave frequency. We must find the pattern of frequency change!"

The mechanism box of Mozhe Xu Ruo made a clicking sound, and a disc-shaped rhythm detector popped out.

The tiny antenna swayed in the air, humming like a bee. "Found it!"

He pointed excitedly at the detector's screen. "The frequency of light is following a ternary law. We're following the direction of increasing frequency!"

Everyone walked on thin ice, carefully following the glowing guidance of the ore.

On the damp rock wall, the moss glowed a strange purple in the dim light, and the accumulated water underfoot reflected the dancing light spots, as if stepping into an upside-down world.

Suddenly, there was a sound of falling gravel behind him, and A Er's sensor issued a shrill alarm.

"They're catching up!"

Turning around, I saw dozens of parasites rushing out from the fog. Their skin was a strange blue color, and sharp bone blades grew at the ends of their tentacles.

These monsters were much faster than before, and when they ran, they made a sharp sound like nails scraping against metal, which made people's scalps tingle.

Mozhe Gao Shizi's mechanical shield instantly unfolded, and the blue light turned into a huge barrier.

"Go! I can't hold out much longer!"

The muscles in his arms were tense, and the surface of the shield continued to withstand the attacks, causing ripples.

Ah Cai gritted his teeth and injected the power of the Mechanical Heart into the sword. The golden sword energy poured out like a galaxy, temporarily forcing the monster back.

Everyone ran frantically through the fog, their hearts nearly pounding out of their chests. Ah Cai stared intently at the ore on the rock wall when she suddenly noticed a dramatic change in the frequency of the light ahead.

"This way!" she shouted, leading everyone into a narrow passage.

As they went deeper, the fog gradually thinned, and on the rock wall above their heads, the minerals were arranged into a huge star map, emitting a soft light.

At the end of the passage, a bronze door engraved with mysterious runes slowly rose.

A low humming sound emanated from behind the door, like the breath of an ancient beast. Ah Cai gripped the Mechanical Heart tightly, feeling it resonate with the power behind the door.

She knew that the real challenge had just begun...

The moment the bronze door was fully raised, everyone's tense nerves had just begun to relax when the ground beneath their feet suddenly shook like thunder.

Ah Cai's pupils suddenly shrank, and the mechanical heart in her arms began to beat wildly, emitting a sharp warning buzz: "Oh no, it's a landslide trap!"

Before he could finish his words, the rock formation above his head collapsed like an avalanche. Stones as big as millstones poured down with rubble, creating deep pits in the ground and raising a cloud of dust that covered the sky.

Mozhe Zhao Qiao reacted extremely quickly, his fingers tapping rapidly on the mechanism box. Amid the sound of gears meshing, a palm-sized box ejected a silver-gray bracket.

The support unfolds in the air into an arc-shaped bridge, with complex mortise and tenon patterns emerging on the surface, and is firmly erected above the broken passage.

"Everyone, cross the bridge quickly!" His voice was torn into pieces by the roar, veins bulged on his forehead, and he tried his best to maintain the stability of the mechanical bridge.

Everyone ran on the violently shaking bridge, and gravel kept falling and brushing against the corners of their clothes.

Ah Er slipped and half of his body was hanging on the edge of the abyss. Ah Da took a quick step and grabbed him by the back of the collar and threw him back onto the bridge like a chicken.

At the moment when the last person jumped over the broken bridge, the entire bridge collapsed under the impact of falling rocks and turned into pieces all over the sky.
