Chapter 625 Crisis Returns and Difficult Choices
The tremors outside the cave intensified, dust fell from the cave ceiling, and a hazy mist rose into the dark blue cavern. The three men gripped their weapons warily, their eyes fixed on the cave entrance, their hearts pounding in their chests. The tense atmosphere enveloped them like an invisible net.
"Could it be some mysterious force?" Xiao Wang said in a low voice, fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead, soaking the grip of his weapon. Lin Yu frowned slightly, his eyes revealing determination and vigilance. "No matter who it is, we cannot back down." Ellie stopped her scanning work, quickly picked up her weapon, and prepared for battle.
As the tremors intensified, a colossal figure slowly appeared at the cave entrance. To their surprise, the newcomer was not the mysterious force, but the same mysterious behemoth they had previously wounded and vanished. Its body was now riddled with wounds, its eerie blue scales tattered, some even revealing flesh and blood shimmering with a strange light beneath. Yet, its eyes were even more ferocious, as if driven by boundless rage.
"It's that big guy again!" Xiao Wang exclaimed, his voice tinged with despair. The giant beast roared and charged into the cave, bringing with it a strong, foul gust of wind, as it pounced on the three of them. Lin Yu shouted, "Spread out! Don't get caught!" The three of them quickly ran in different directions, using the cave's complex terrain to avoid the beast's attacks.
The colossal beast rampaged through the cave, causing rocks to crumble in its wake. Its primary target seemed to be Lin Yu, repeatedly lunging at him with its massive claws. Lin Yu nimbly weaved between the boulders, dodging attacks while searching for an opportunity to retaliate. He noticed that the beast, now wounded, moved more slowly, and the intervals between its attacks widened.
"Everyone, focus your fire on its wounds!" Lin Yu shouted, and the three of them fired simultaneously at the giant beast's injured area. Energy beams and bullets rained down on the beast, which roared in pain but showed no sign of retreating; instead, its attacks became even more frenzied.
In the midst of the fierce battle, Ellie suddenly discovered a hidden passage on one side of the cave. A faint light flickered at the entrance, seemingly beckoning them. She shouted, "Lin Yu, Xiao Wang, there's a passage over there! Let's hide in there!"
Lin Yu glanced at the passage, then at the frenzied attacking behemoth, realizing it was a difficult choice. Entering the passage might temporarily free them from the behemoth's attack, but it also risked plunging them into unknown dangers; continuing to fight the behemoth might not guarantee their survival, and it would also waste time trying to crack the code.
"No time to hesitate, let's go in first!" Lin Yu made a decisive decision, and the three of them ran towards the passage. The giant beast seemed to sense their escape and attacked even more frantically, trying to block their path. At the critical moment, the mechanical creature suddenly fired a powerful energy beam, striking the giant beast's leg and briefly slowing its movements.
Taking advantage of the situation, the three rushed into the passage, followed by the furious roars of a giant beast and the deafening crashes against the walls. The passage was extremely narrow, allowing only one person to pass at a time, forcing them to proceed with extreme caution. As they went deeper, the light in the passage grew dimmer, and a damp, decaying stench permeated the air.
"This passage feels so eerie, I wonder if there are any traps?" Xiao Wang said nervously. Lin Yu patted him on the shoulder, "Don't scare yourself. With mechanical creatures guiding us, we should be able to avoid most of the dangers."
Just then, the mechanical creature spoke through the communicator: "There's an energy barrier not far ahead; you need to use a crystal fragment to activate it." The three continued forward and indeed saw a barrier shimmering with blue light blocking the passage. Lin Yu took out the crystal fragment and carefully approached the barrier. As the crystal fragment neared the barrier, the light on the barrier began to flicker and change, seemingly interacting with the crystal fragment in some kind of energy exchange.
However, just as the barrier was about to open, footsteps suddenly came from behind the passage. They sounded more like humans than giant beasts. The three men's expressions changed. Had the mysterious force caught up with them? In this narrow passage, with the barrier not yet fully opened ahead and an unknown enemy behind, how would they cope with this increasingly dire situation? And could they successfully open the barrier and find clues to crack the code?
