I have a space to Taoyuan in the end times

Chapter 103: Desperate Situation

A crack appeared in the ground and quickly spread out, forming a huge abyss.

Cen Ran and others retreated hurriedly, barely avoiding the danger of falling.

"Be careful!" Ling Feng shouted, "This is a trap set by an ancient race. This ruin is full of such dangers."

Only then did everyone notice that the surrounding walls and ground were covered with all kinds of strange mechanical devices, flashing strange lights.

These devices have different shapes, some look like gears, some like levers, and some like some kind of mysterious runes.

"These mechanisms are designed to protect something more important deep within the ruins," Lingfeng explained. "Each mechanism requires a specific solution, and once triggered, it can be fatal."

Cen Ran looked around with a serious expression.

This relic is more dangerous than she imagined.

Defeating the demonized behemoth is only the first step; the real challenge has just begun.

Wei Jing covered his injured shoulder, his face pale.

The battle with the giant beast just now consumed a lot of his physical strength, and now he was facing new dangers, which made him feel a little overwhelmed.

"We need to find a way to leave here as soon as possible." Lin Yu said. His injuries have not fully recovered, and the long exploration is a torture for them.

Gu Ling silently observed the surrounding mechanisms. She had extensive research on ancient races and might be able to find some clues.

"Here..." Gu Ling pointed to a stone door at the end of the passage, "That should be the core area of ​​the ruins."

Cen Ran nodded and led everyone cautiously towards the stone gate.

The mechanical devices on both sides of the passage made a clicking sound, as if they would start at any time.

Suddenly, a black shadow jumped out from the shadows and stabbed at Cen Ran with a sharp blade in his hand.

"Be careful!" Wei Jing shouted and pushed Cen Ran away with all his strength.

The shadow missed the attack and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

"Who is it?" Cen Ran asked in shock.

Ling Feng frowned and said in a deep voice, "It's Shadow Blade, the hidden assassin in the ruins."

Everyone immediately became alert, the appearance of Shadow Blade meant they were facing a greater threat.

"Everyone be careful, this is just the beginning." Lingfeng reminded.

Lin Yu accidentally touched a tiny trigger point...

Lin Yu accidentally touched a tiny mechanism trigger point. In an instant, countless sharp arrows shot out from both sides of the passage, whizzing and breaking through the wind.

Everyone reacted very quickly and used their own skills to dodge.

Wei Jing saw a poisonous arrow shot towards Gu Ling and pushed her away without hesitation, but his arm was grazed by the arrow and blood instantly dyed his sleeve red.

"Are you okay?" Gu Ling asked worriedly.

Wei Jing gritted his teeth and shook his head: "It's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about."

Before anyone could catch their breath, more mechanisms were triggered and huge cracks began to appear on the ground, like a giant beast opening its bloody mouth.

Blazing flames gushed out from the cracks, and a scorching breath hit my face.

Cen Ran made a prompt decision: "Quick, jump onto the stone platforms on both sides of the passage!" Everyone leaped forward, narrowly avoiding the cracks in the ground and the gushing flames.

The narrow passage instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire, with rolling heat waves that were suffocating.

Cen Ran calmly observed the surrounding environment, trying to find a way to crack the mechanism.

She noticed some strange runes on the walls on both sides of the passage, which seemed similar to the ancient text Lingfeng had mentioned before.

She quickly memorized the runes and quickly analyzed their meaning in her mind.

"These runes may be the key to unlocking the mechanism." Cen Ran said, with a gleam of wisdom in his eyes.

At this moment, huge rocks suddenly fell from the top of the passage, blocking their retreat.

Everyone was trapped in a small space, with no way out.

"Damn, we're trapped!" Lin Yu couldn't help but curse.

Lingfeng looked around calmly, trying to find a new way out.

His eyes fell on a seemingly ordinary stone brick, and his heart moved.

"Maybe there is another passage here." Lingfeng said, pressing the stone brick hard.

As the bricks sank, a new passage entrance appeared in the wall.

Everyone was delighted and was about to enter the new passage, but they found that a strange green smoke was filling the entrance of the passage.

"Be careful, this smoke is poisonous!" Gu Ling warned.

Cen Ran immediately took out the antidote from his backpack and distributed it to everyone. After everyone took the antidote, they carefully entered the new passage.

The new passage is narrower and can only accommodate one person.

Cen Ran walked in front, holding a dagger tightly in his hand, observing the surrounding environment vigilantly.

The walls on both sides of the passage are engraved with strange patterns, which makes people shudder.

There was a sickening smell of decay in the air.

Suddenly, Cen Ran felt a murderous aura behind him...

At this moment, a figure flashed from the shadows like a ghost. It was the hidden assassin Shadow Blade!

The sharp blade in his hand flashed with a cold light and pierced Cen Ran's hand holding the map.

Cen Ran reacted quickly and dodged the fatal blow by turning sideways. The dagger passed by her arm, leaving a shallow blood mark.

"Looking for death!" Cen Ran's eyes flashed, and he used his backhand to force back the shadow blade.

Shadow Blade was as slippery as a loach, dodging and moving in the narrow passage, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Seeing this, Wei Jing and Lin Yu were extremely anxious and wanted to rush over to support, but they were blocked by the flames and dense spikes gushing out of the passage and could only stare blankly.

Lingfeng stared at Yingren's movements with a sharp gaze, trying to find his flaws.

"His attack trajectory is fan-shaped, and the attack interval is three seconds!" Ling Feng reminded Cen Ran loudly.

After getting the hint, Cen Ran had an idea in mind.

While dodging the traps, she observed Shadow Blade's movements, looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Shadow Blade attacked again, the dagger coming with a fierce murderous aura.

Cen Ran seized the three-second gap, predicted the direction of his attack, and slapped Ying Ren's chest with his backhand.

"Bang!" Shadow Blade was hit by Cen Ran's palm, staggered backward, and hit the wall of the passage, triggering a hidden mechanism.

Countless spikes shot out from the wall. Shadow Blade groaned and disappeared in the smoke, leaving only a pool of blood.

Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, a loud bang suddenly came from the top of the passage. The huge rocks began to loosen and could collapse at any time.

Gu Ling's face changed and he exclaimed, "Oh no! The passage is going to collapse!" Ling Feng made a quick decision: "Quick, find a support point!"

Cen Ran's eyes swept across the passage, and suddenly, her gaze locked onto a stone slab engraved with strange runes...

"and many more!"
