Chapter 429 The Core Dilemma and Unexpected Help
After passing through the energy vortex, the team continued deeper into the planet's core. The surrounding temperature rose higher and higher, the air was filled with a pungent odor, and the ground beneath their feet began to scorch, making every step extremely difficult.
"Beware, the energy fluctuations ahead are unusually strong." Ellie stared nervously at the detector in her hand, the data on the screen jumping wildly. Lin Yu looked up and saw a huge ball of energy not far ahead, emitting a dazzling light, distorting the surrounding space.
"This energy cluster seems to be the energy core of the entire area; perhaps the key to breaking the seal lies within it," Lin Yu speculated. But as they approached the energy cluster, a powerful repulsive force swept over them, blocking their way.
"The repulsive force is too strong; we can't get close at all." One team member struggled against the repulsive force but was pushed back repeatedly. Lin Yu frowned, pondering a solution. Suddenly, he noticed several small energy nodes around the energy cluster. These nodes flickered with a faint light and seemed to have some kind of connection with the energy cluster.
"Look everyone, these energy nodes might be the key to breaking the repulsive force. Let's try attacking these nodes and see if we can weaken the repulsive force," Lin Yu said. The team members quickly adjusted their weapons and launched an attack on the energy nodes. The energy beams hit the nodes, the nodes flashed, and the repulsive force did indeed weaken briefly.
"Keep attacking! Charge through now!" Lin Yu shouted. The team members concentrated their firepower, relentlessly attacking the nodes while simultaneously moving closer to the energy cluster. Just as they were about to reach the energy cluster, an unexpected event occurred. The energy cluster suddenly trembled violently, releasing a powerful energy shock that blasted the team members away.
"Is everyone alright?" Lin Yu struggled to his feet and asked anxiously. The team members responded that although they had all suffered minor injuries, they were all fine. However, before they could even catch their breath, the surrounding environment changed again. The previously still crystal pillars began to spin wildly, cracks appeared in the ground, and magma gushed out from the cracks, plunging the entire space into chaos.
"Oh no! We've triggered the defense mechanism! This place is going to collapse!" Ellie cried out in terror. Just as everyone was sinking into despair, a beam of light descended from the sky, and a familiar figure appeared before them—it was Evan of Dawn Star.
"Evan, what brings you here?" Lin Yu asked, both surprised and delighted. Evan didn't have time to explain; he quickly took out a small device and pressed a button. The device emitted a gentle energy wave, instantly stabilizing the surrounding environment. The rotating stone pillar stopped spinning, and the cracks slowly healed.
“This is a stabilizer we developed based on the technology found in the ruins. It should come in handy in a critical moment,” Evan said. Lin Yu looked at him gratefully, “It’s just in time, thank you, Evan.”
Evan smiled slightly: "No need to be polite, we are partners. I sensed that you were in danger, so I came after you. I studied the energy structure of this planet and found that the key to breaking the seal lies in adjusting the frequency of the energy cluster to resonate with the frequency of the 'Heart of Order'."
As he spoke, Evan took out a frequency regulator and handed it to Lin Yu: "This is a frequency regulator I brought; it should be able to help you." Lin Yu took the regulator, his heart filled with hope. With Evan's help, could they successfully adjust the frequency of the energy cluster, break the seal, and find the second "Heart of Order"?
