The ruins are made of huge stones, covered with traces of time, exuding a mysterious and ancient atmosphere, which makes people feel awe.

Everyone approached the ruins curiously, wanting to find out.

But when they approached the remains, an invisible force suddenly appeared, blocking them firmly outside, like a transparent wall that could not be overcome by no means of force.

Everyone was shocked and looked at each other.

"This..." Before Commander Yan finished speaking, he was shocked by the scene in front of him and could not speak.

Everyone stood in front of the ruins, looking at the flashing protective forces in front of them, and their hearts were filled with doubts and confusion.

Everyone stood in front of the ruins, and the invisible barrier flashed with a faint faint light, rising and falling like breathing, reflecting on their curious faces.

This power seems soft, but it carries a majesty that is blocking people from thousands of miles away, like the hum of an ancient giant beast, shocking everyone who is trying to get close to it.

The breeze blew, bringing a touch of unsettling chill, and the leaves around them rustled, as if whispering some secret.

Young Master Yanyang, the young master of aristocratic family who is usually proud and conceited, had a light of disdain in his eyes. He took a step forward and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Is it just a barrier that wants to stop me?" Before he finished speaking, he stretched out his palm and touched the flashing light with a bit of joking.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound seemed to hit the hard rock.

A powerful rebound force exploded instantly, shocking the young master Yanyang to retreat continuously, and the soil under his feet splashed.

His face turned pale in an instant, covering his faintly ached arms, his eyes full of disbelief.

The power just now not only bounced him away, but also had a slight stinging pain, which made it difficult for him to recover.

Everyone exclaimed in surprise and went forward to check the situation of Young Master Yan Yang.

Mo Yu, the expert who was invited to crack the mystery of the ruins, remained calm and professional.

He slowly approached the protective force,

"This is not a simple barrier," Mo Yu whispered, frowning. He could feel that this power contained some mysterious law, "it was more like some kind of energy shield."

"Energy Shield?" Ling Yue, Mo Yu's assistant, immediately retorted, "I think it's more like an ancient formation. Look at the way this energy flows, it's not like a single energy fluctuation." She pointed to the halo that was constantly changing in the protective power, and her tone was firm.

The two of them started a fierce argument.

Mo Yu believes that the flow of energy is uniform and stable, which is more in line with the characteristics of the energy shield; while Ling Yue believes that the flickering changes of the halo suggest the existence of a certain formation.

Their voices became louder and louder, and their tone gradually became sharper. A tense atmosphere filled the air, as if a fierce conflict was about to break out in the next second.

Elder Xuanfeng sighed softly, stepped forward, raised his hand to signal the two of them to calm down.

His tone was gentle but unquestionable majesty: "You two, now is not the time to argue. The mystery of the ruins is right in front of you. We should work together to find a solution." He looked around and his eyes were firm. "Perhaps we can find a way to break through this layer of protective power based on your views."

Mo Yu and Ling Yue looked at each other, and although they were still dissatisfied, they did not continue to argue.

Both of them understood that this was not the time to coax internally.

They turned their eyes to the mysterious protective power again, and they were thinking about it in their hearts, but they didn't speak again.

Just as everyone was in deep thought, a faint smell of fishy smell suddenly came into the nose, and then the surrounding air became viscous, as if a pair of invisible big hands strangled everyone's throats and breathing became extremely difficult.

The smell of fishy smell became stronger and stronger, and a layer of light green mist filled the air, lingering around everyone like a ghost.

A disgusting and sweet smell penetrates the nose, making people dizzy.

The originally cool air became hot, as if it was in a stove, and sweat instantly soaked its clothes.

"What's going on? This fog is poisonous!" Someone in the crowd exclaimed, his voice trembling, revealing deep fear.

I saw a few people with weak constitutions who had begun to shake, their faces turned blue and their lips were purple. They covered their chests in pain and moaned hoarsely in their throats.

"Be careful, everyone! Hold your breath and cover your mouth and nose with clothes!" Elder Xuanfeng shouted loudly, and took out a pill from his arms and took it.

Young Master Yanyang's face was pale, and beads of sweat as big as beans rolled down from his forehead. He staggered back a few steps and held a big tree before he could barely stand firm.

He tried hard to breathe, but felt like his chest was pressed by a huge rock, and he couldn't breathe.

He opened his mouth wide and breathed the air greedily, but inhaled more poisonous fog, which made him even more painful.

He felt his consciousness begin to blur, everything in front of him became twisted, and his ears buzzed, as if countless bees were flying.

He wanted to call for help, but he couldn't make any sound. He could only collapse on the ground weakly, his body twitching constantly.

At this moment, a sound of metal friction came from the depths of the ruins, dull and powerful, like the footsteps of an ancient giant beast, shattering everyone's hope and bringing endless despair.

From the entrance of the ruins, several tall mechanical puppets slowly walked out.

They are made of bronze, shining with a cold luster, and are precisely connected at the joints, but they move extremely flexibly.

Each puppet held a sharp long sword in his hand, and the blade was shining with a cold light, which made people shudder.

"Puppet Guard!" Mo Yu exclaimed, "It seems that the protection measures of this ruin are more stringent than we imagined."

Mrs. Mo and the Lord Lei stepped forward again, waved the weapons in their hands, and faced the puppet guards.

The sword light and sword shadows, the sound of gold and iron clashes, and the fierce battle breaks out instantly.

However, the combat power of these puppet guards is far beyond everyone's imagination.

Their movements are rapid and precise, with infinite power, and tirelessness.

Although Ms. Mo and Master Lei were very skilled in martial arts, they gradually felt overwhelmed.

"The energy of these puppets... seems to be concentrated in the energy core in the chest!" Ling Yue's voice trembled, but it was like a bright light in the darkness, instantly igniting everyone's hope.

She pointed to the faint flashing spot of light on the puppet's chest.

"Attack there!" Mo Yu immediately reacted and shouted loudly.

He moved his body and rushed towards the nearest puppet first. He gathered powerful energy in his hand and hit the light spots on the puppet's chest.

Everyone followed closely behind, and they showed their unique skills and launched a fierce attack on the energy core of the puppet.

The sword lights and sword shadows intertwined, the energy fluctuated and the air was filled with a strong smell of burnt.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Several bursts sounded one after another, and the energy cores on the chests of several puppets were shattered. Their tall bodies seemed to have been drained of power and collapsed with a bang.

The loud noise of metal collision made the ground tremble slightly.

Everyone cheered and their morale was greatly boosted.

"Lingyue, you are so great!" Mo Xiao rushed to Lingyue excitedly and held her hand tightly. Everyone else expressed their gratitude to Lingyue. The previous tension and fear were wiped out, and replaced by the belief of winning.

After a hard battle, the remaining puppets were destroyed one by one.

Everyone finally had the opportunity to breathe for a moment and reexamine the predicament in front of them.

Although the puppet guards were temporarily repelled, the mysterious protective force still stood in front of them, as if it was an insurmountable gap.

At this time, in the crowd, the man in white was carefully wiping the blood on Xiaohong's face.

Xiaohong said in a weak voice: "Brother, you are injured..." She stretched out her trembling little hand and gently touched the wound on the arm of the man in white. Everyone looked at the warmth flowing between the two and felt the deep love.

Young Master Yanyang, who was standing by, walked silently to Mo Yu. In the battle just now, Mo Yu once pulled him to prevent him from being severely injured by the puppet.

"Thank you just now." Young Master Yan Yang's tone was a little awkward, but his eyes were less proud.

Elder Xuanfeng was like a rock, firmly blocking everyone's face, his eyes were like torches, scanning around, protecting everyone, and his heart was full of responsibility.

Just as everyone was about to continue trying to break through the protective power, Mo Yu suddenly stopped.

He squatted down, looked at the ground carefully, and his fingers gently stroked strange symbols.

"These symbols..." He frowned,"

Everyone gathered around and looked at the symbols on the ground curiously.

Mo Yu took a deep breath and said slowly: "These symbols may be related to cracking this layer of protective power." He began to interpret these symbols, with a serious tone, but with a hint of uncertainty.

"However, the operation process is full of dangers, and if it is made mistakes, it may lead to unpredictable consequences."

Hearing Mo Yu's words, everyone suddenly fell into silence.

They looked at each other, their hearts full of contradictions.

Should I choose to take a risk or continue looking for other ways?

This is a difficult choice, which concerns their life and death.

After a long time, Young Master Yanyang broke the silence: "It's better to give it a try instead of sitting there and waiting for death!" His voice trembled slightly, but with a hint of determination.

At this moment, Elder Xuanfeng suddenly exclaimed: "Look!" He pointed to a corner of the ruins.

Mo Yu's discovery was like throwing a stone into the calm lake, causing layers of ripples.

Everyone gathered around, staring at the strange symbols on the ground, and the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed that even breathing became cautious.

These symbols are like some ancient words, winding and emitting a mysterious atmosphere.

"According to my interpretation, these symbols represent the trajectory of an energy. If we can activate them in the correct order, we may be able to crack this layer of protective power." Mo Yu's voice was low and powerful, but with a hint of uncertainty. "But if you are not careful in operation, it may cause energy backlash, and the consequences are unimaginable."

Shuanghua squatted down and gently brushed the symbols with her slender fingers. She checked carefully again and confirmed that the energy fluctuations of these symbols were in a stable state, then she slowly said: "From the stability of energy, the risk of operation is relatively small, but we still need to be extra careful."

Shadow Sha stood around everyone like a sculpture, with his eyes sharply scanning around him, alerting to any potential danger.

The dagger in his hand flashed with cold light, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
