Chapter 491 The Mo Family's Courageous Advance: Exploring Dangerous Sites
Mo Han took a deep breath, his eyes determined: "Let's go!" He knew that the "Arcadia" ruins were full of dangers, but the more dangerous it was, the more it proved its value.
The spacecraft of the Mo family expedition team, named "Galaxy", is the latest space exploration spacecraft developed by the Mo family, equipped with the most advanced navigation and defense systems.
The spacecraft slowly left the earth and flew towards the unknown area of the Orion star field.
After sailing for several days, the Galaxy approached the target galaxy.
The spacecraft's detection system showed that there was a huge planet ahead, with its surface covered with strange geometric patterns and emitting a faint blue light.
"That's the planet where the Arcadia ruins are located." Mo Han pointed at the image on the screen and said to Wen Nuan beside him.
Wen Nuan nodded, her eyes filled with anticipation and a hint of worry.
As the Galaxy gradually approached the planet, the surrounding space began to distort.
The spacecraft's alarm system sounded shrilly and the hull began to vibrate violently.
"What's going on?" Wen Nuan clutched the handrail tightly, her face a little pale.
"Space is distorted! It seems that Stardust's warning was not false." Mo Han said in a deep voice.
He immediately ordered the activation of the spacecraft's protection system, and a layer of light blue energy shield wrapped around the spacecraft.
The space distortion became more and more severe, and the spacecraft seemed to be in a huge vortex, and the surrounding starlight also became distorted.
Some of the weaker expedition members began to feel dizzy and nauseous, and some even started vomiting.
The security team led by Mo Han was equipped with the Mo family's most advanced protective equipment. They acted quickly to help other team members stabilize their bodies and maintain the normal operation of the spacecraft.
Under Mo Han's command, the "Galaxy" struggled to resist the damage caused by space distortion and slowly landed towards the surface of the planet.
Finally, the spacecraft passed through the distorted space and landed steadily on the surface of the planet.
The hatch slowly opened, and an ancient and mysterious atmosphere blew in.
"Is this... Arcadia?" Wen Nuan muttered to herself as she looked at the unfamiliar scene in front of her.
At this moment, a team member exclaimed: "What is that?!" He pointed to a huge metal structure in the distance. The structure was flashing with strange light, like a huge eye, staring at them.
"Be careful!" Mo Han grabbed Wen Nuan and protected her behind him.
The metal structure suddenly emitted a sharp scream...
The shrieking sound emitted by the metal structure was like a shock wave, instantly razing the surrounding trees to the ground.
The expedition team members were caught off guard, and many were blown away by the shock wave, and several team members were even scratched by sharp rocks.
Mo Han quickly opened an energy barrier to protect Wen Nuan and several team members around him.
"Everyone be careful, this thing is weird!" Mo Han warned in a deep voice, while vigilantly observing the surrounding environment.
After the screaming of the metal structure stopped, the surroundings fell into an eerie silence.
Wen Nuan frowned. She looked around and found that the stones on the ground seemed to be arranged in a certain pattern.
"Everyone, watch your step!" Wen Nuan reminded loudly. She keenly noticed that the stones on the ground were not scattered randomly, but were arranged in a certain pattern.
Just as he finished speaking, a team member accidentally stepped on a protruding rock, the ground cracked instantly, and a green smoke gushed out from the crack.
"Ah--" the team member screamed and fell to the ground, twitching in pain.
"It's poisonous!" Mo Han reacted immediately and quickly injected the antidote into the injured team member's body.
Her warm eyes quickly swept over the surrounding stones, and she found that the patterns on these stones were not exactly the same, but had subtle differences.
"I think these stones are the mechanisms to activate the traps. Different patterns represent different traps." Wen Nuan analyzed calmly, "We must be careful to avoid the stones with special patterns."
Under Wen Nuan's guidance, the expedition members carefully avoided the stones with special patterns and slowly moved forward.
However, the traps in the ruins were far more complicated than they had imagined.
In addition to the traps on the ground, there are also hidden weapons in the walls and trees, which can be triggered if you are not careful.
"Everyone, be alert!" Mo Han reminded again. He swung the energy blade in his hand tightly, shooting down the hidden weapons one by one.
Wen Nuan focused on studying the patterns on the stones, and she found that these patterns were not without pattern.
After some careful observation, she finally found a way to break the trap.
"Look, these patterns are actually a set of codes. As long as you step on them in the correct order, you can disarm the trap." Wen Nuan pointed to the stones on the ground, her tone full of confidence.
Following Wen Nuan's instructions, the expedition members stepped on the stones carefully, and sure enough, the traps that had been triggered before stopped working one after another.
"Great, we succeeded!" The team members cheered.
Just then, Wen Nuan noticed several forks in the road ahead.
"It seems that our journey has just begun." Wen Nuan looked at the deep passage, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.
"Which way?" Mo Han looked at Wen Nuan, waiting for her decision.
"This one!" A young expedition member named Li Hao pointed to a narrow and dark passage on the far left, his tone extremely firm.
He was not an experienced explorer, and could even be said to be the least experienced one in the team, so his speech did not attract much attention.
The veteran team members expressed their opinions one after another. Some believed that the wide passage in the middle was most likely to lead to the core area of the ruins, while others felt that the winding passage on the far right might hide more secrets.
For a time, there were different opinions and no consensus.
Wen Nuan carefully observed the traces of each passage entrance, trying to find some clues.
There were some ancient symbols carved on the stone wall at the entrance of the passage. She vaguely felt that these symbols seemed to contain some kind of information, but she could not decipher it.
"Mo Han, what do you think?" Wen Nuan turned to look at Mo Han, hoping that he could make the final decision.
Mo Han didn't answer directly, but looked at Li Hao with interest: "Why did you choose this passage?"
Li Hao blushed and stammered, "I... I don't know either. It's just a feeling. I think this passage... might hold a surprise."
The corners of Mo Han's mouth rose slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you and take this route!"
This decision was beyond everyone's expectations, even Wen Nuan was a little surprised.
Mo Han has always been cautious and rarely makes such risky decisions.
"Mr. Mo, this..." An old team member couldn't help but speak up to dissuade him, "This is too risky. What if..."
"There's no such thing as a one-time event." Mo Han interrupted him firmly, "I trust his intuition."
Everyone looked at each other, and although they were full of doubts, they finally chose to obey Mo Han's orders.
The expedition team advanced along the passage chosen by Li Hao. The passage was pitch black and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.
The team members turned on the lighting equipment and moved forward cautiously.
The air was filled with a damp and corrupt smell, which made people feel a little depressed.
After walking for about ten minutes, a huge stone door appeared in front of the passage.
The stone gate is carved with intricate patterns that appear to be a star map.
"What is this?" Li Hao pointed at the pattern on the stone gate, his eyes full of curiosity.
Wen Nuan walked forward and carefully observed the patterns on the stone door. She found that these patterns were very similar to the symbols she had seen at the entrance of the passage before.
"Perhaps, this is the key to open the stone door."
Just as Wen Nuan was trying to decipher the pattern on the stone door, it suddenly made a low rumble and slowly opened to both sides...
A strong light shone through the crack in the door, illuminating the entire passage.
"This..." Li Hao widened his eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.
After the stone door was fully opened, a huge underground space appeared before everyone.
In the center of the space, a huge metal device was suspended in the air, emitting dazzling light.
"This is..." Wen Nuan murmured to herself. She felt a powerful energy wave emanating from the metal device.
"Back off!" Mo Han suddenly shouted and pulled Wen Nuan behind him.
Almost at the same time, the metal device suddenly started up, emitting a deafening roar...
The moment the metal device was activated, a powerful energy wave swept through the entire underground space.
The expedition team members were knocked around by the energy wave, and some weaker members even fell into a coma.
Mo Han quickly opened an energy barrier to protect Wen Nuan and several team members around him.
After the energy wave, the underground space returned to calm.
Mo Han carefully put away the energy barrier and looked around.
The metal device stopped working, but a powerful energy fluctuation still permeated the surrounding air.
"What is this?" Li Hao pointed at the metal device, his tone full of curiosity and fear.
Wen Nuan walked up to the metal device and carefully observed its structure.
"This appears to be an energy conversion device. It absorbs surrounding energy and converts it into another form of energy." Wen Nuan observed and analyzed. "If we can decipher its operating principle, we might be able to obtain a huge source of energy."
Under Wen Nuan's research, the expedition team gradually understood how the metal device worked.
They discovered that some technological fragments of ancient civilizations were scattered around the device, and these fragments seemed to be the key to controlling the device.
"These fragments are of immense value," a researcher said excitedly. "If we can take them back for research, perhaps we can unlock the secrets of this ancient civilization."
The expedition team began to collect the scattered fragments of technology and carefully preserved them.
Just as they were immersed in the joy of harvest, a huge energy wave suddenly came from deep in the ruins, and the ground began to shake violently.
"What's going on?" The team members stopped what they were doing and looked around vigilantly.
"It seems that something more dangerous is about to appear." Mo Han said with a serious expression. He felt a strong sense of oppression coming from the depths of the ruins.
"We have to leave here immediately!" an old team member said anxiously, "It's too dangerous here!"
At this moment, a deafening roar came from the depths of the ruins, and the entire underground space trembled.
"What's that sound?" Li Hao asked palely.
Mo Han did not answer. He tightly gripped the energy blade in his hand, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
"Ready to fight!"
Wen Nuan also felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. She held Mo Han's hand tightly without saying a word.
Deep within the ruins, a huge black shadow slowly emerged...
"Here it comes..." Mo Han whispered.
