A Mysterious Journey Through the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 200: The Voice of the Abyss in the Temple



Chapter 200: The Voice of the Abyss in the Temple

The low and dull voice continued to echo in the hall, as if it was a call from ancient times, or a roar from the abyss of the earth. Every syllable was like a heavy lead block, hitting everyone's heart hard, making their nerves tense to the extreme. The atmosphere in the hall was so oppressive that it was almost impossible to breathe, as if the air was solidified by this mysterious voice.

"This sound... It feels like a huge monster is about to come out from the ground." Lin Yao's voice trembled slightly. She held the dagger tightly, her palms were full of sweat, and the sweat slid down the handle of the dagger and dripped onto the ground, and was instantly swallowed up by the tense atmosphere. Her eyes were full of fear, and she kept looking at the ground, as if the unknown fear would break out of the ground in the next second.

Wang Yue's eyes revealed a hint of fear, but she still tried to stay calm. The magic light in her hand flickered, like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time. "No matter what it is, we can't back down. We have been through so much together, and we will definitely find a solution." Although her voice was firm, it could not hide a slight tremor in it. She bit her lips tightly, as if this could give her some courage.

I looked at Su Yao, my eyes full of expectation and anxiety. "Su Yao, you know a lot about time travel. Do you think this is the sound of time and space confusion?" My voice was particularly clear in the silent hall, and every word was filled with my doubts and fears. I stared at Su Yao, as if she was my only hope in this endless darkness.

Su Yao frowned, staring at the ground, as if trying to see through the thick stone slabs to see the secrets underground. "I'm not sure, but this sound is really strange. It has a pattern, it doesn't seem to be naturally generated. Maybe it's really related to the time and space secrets of this temple." Her eyes were full of thoughts, and her brain was working fast, trying to find some clues from this strange sound.

Mo Yu took a deep breath and gripped the sword tighter. His eyes were firm and sharp, like a sword about to be unsheathed, ready to meet any challenge at any time. "No matter what it is, we have to face it. Everyone be careful and be ready to fight at any time." His voice was steady and powerful, bringing a sense of security to everyone. His body leaned forward slightly, making a defensive posture, like an indestructible fortress.

At this moment, the ground began to tremble violently, and the patterns and symbols on the wall flashed more frequently, as if issuing some kind of warning. The strange sound also became more urgent, beating the hearts of everyone like a war drum. The whole hall seemed to have fallen into a state of madness, like a volcano about to erupt.

"What on earth is going on?" I shouted, with a hint of panic in my voice. My heartbeat was like a rapid drumbeat, roaring in my ears. I felt my legs go weak, but I still tried to stand firm and not fall down.

Su Yao said loudly: "Don't panic! Let's see if we can find the source of the sound. Maybe this is the key to unlocking the secret of the temple." Her voice was particularly loud in this chaotic environment, like a ray of light illuminating the darkness.

Everyone nodded, suppressed their fear, and began to carefully observe every corner of the hall. Their eyes were like scanners, not missing any details. At this moment, a crack suddenly appeared in a corner of the hall, and a strong airflow gushed out of the crack, carrying an old and mysterious breath. The breath seemed to be a call from ancient times, which made everyone shudder.

"Be careful!" Mo Yu warned loudly. His voice was like thunder, exploding in everyone's ears.

Everyone retreated quickly, but their eyes were fixed on the crack. They saw a faint light coming out of the crack, flickering in the darkness, as if calling them. The light was like a mysterious bait, attracting everyone's attention, but also making them feel fearful.

"What's underneath?" Lin Yao asked softly, her voice full of fear and curiosity. Her eyes were fixed on the crack, as if she wanted to see the scene below through the faint light. Her body trembled slightly, as if she was resisting the mysterious attraction from underground.

Su Yao looked at the crack, with a hint of determination in her eyes. "I don't know, but we have to go down and take a look. Maybe this is the answer we have been looking for." Her voice was full of determination, as if she was ready to face all the unknowns.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded. They took a deep breath and slowly approached the crack. When they reached the edge of the crack, a strong suction came from below, as if to swallow them up. The suction was like an invisible big hand, tightly grasping their bodies, making them unable to break free.

Mo Yu tightly grasped a stone next to him and shouted, "Everyone be careful, hold on to the things around you!" His voice seemed a little strained by the strong suction, but he still tried to stay calm. The veins on his arms bulged from the force, like giant dragons about to break free.

Everyone followed suit, trying to resist the suction. Their fingers tightly grasped the stones, walls or other objects around them, and their bodies trembled slightly under the suction. Just when they were about to give up, the suction suddenly disappeared. They breathed a sigh of relief, but found that they could no longer retreat.

"It seems that we have no choice." I looked into the depths of the crack. Although my heart was filled with fear, I also had a glimmer of hope. That hope was like a ray of light in the darkness. Although it was weak, it gave me the courage to move forward.

Su Yao nodded. "That's right, we can only go down. Everyone be careful and follow me closely." Her voice was full of determination, as if she was a fearless leader, leading everyone into an unknown abyss.

After saying that, Su Yao jumped into the crack first. Her figure disappeared in the darkness in an instant, as if she was swallowed by the endless darkness. Everyone hesitated for a moment, and then jumped in one after another. There was a mysterious atmosphere in the crack, and their bodies kept falling, as if they were trapped in an endless dark abyss. The feeling of falling made their stomachs churn, and the fear in their hearts became stronger.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally landed on the ground. It was pitch black all around them, with only the weapons in their hands and the magic light illuminating a small area around them. The darkness was like thick ink, surrounding them tightly and making them feel suffocated.

"What is this place?" Lin Yao's voice echoed in the darkness, her voice full of fear and confusion. Her eyes looked around in the darkness, but she could only see darkness.

Su Yao walked forward cautiously, "I don't know, but we must be careful. There may be more dangers hidden here." Her voice was very low, as if she was afraid of alarming some unknown existence. Her footsteps were very light, and every step was cautious, as if walking on the edge of a knife.

Just then, they heard a slight sound of footsteps. The footsteps echoed in the darkness, like the whispers of a ghost, making people shudder. The footsteps were very rhythmic, like a mysterious rhythm, but also with an indescribable weirdness.

"Who is it?" Wang Yue asked nervously. Her voice was full of fear, and the magic light in her hand trembled slightly because of her nervousness.

No one answered, only the footsteps were getting closer. Everyone held their weapons tightly, ready to face the impending danger. Their heartbeats were particularly clear in the silent darkness, and every heartbeat seemed to be a countdown.

Suddenly, a strong light came from the front, illuminating the entire space. Everyone squinted their eyes and saw a huge mechanical device. Various lights flashed on the mechanical device, and those lights were like bright stars, interweaving together to form a mysterious and beautiful picture. The appearance of the mechanical device was complex and strange, as if it was a product from the future, full of technology and mystery.

"Is this a device for traveling through time and space?" I said in surprise. My eyes were fixed on the mechanical device, full of curiosity and surprise. I seemed to see the hope of returning home, and the excitement in my heart was beyond words.

Su Yao walked forward and observed the mechanical device carefully. Her eyes were full of concentration and caution, as if she was interpreting an ancient and mysterious book. "It's possible. But we don't know how to operate it yet." There was a hint of doubt and worry in her voice.

Just as they were about to study the mechanical device further, a group of mechanical creatures suddenly emerged from all directions. These mechanical creatures were different from those they had encountered before. Their bodies were much larger, like moving metal mountains. Their shells shone with a cold metallic luster, and each joint emitted a low humming sound, as if announcing their great power. Their eyes flashed red light, like burning flames, revealing a fierce and indifferent aura.

"Get ready for battle!" Mo Yu shouted loudly. His voice was like a battle horn, instantly igniting everyone's fighting spirit.

Everyone immediately took up their fighting stances and started a fierce battle with the mechanical creatures. During the battle, they found that these mechanical creatures seemed to be guarding the mechanical device and would not let anyone get close. Every attack was like a collision between Mars and the Earth, making a loud noise and dazzling sparks.

Lin Yao was like an agile cheetah, moving freely between the mechanical creatures. The dagger in her hand was like a flash of lightning, and each strike accurately stabbed the vital parts of the mechanical creatures. Her figure flickered between light and shadow, like a dancer in the dark, writing the melody of battle with her skills and courage.

Wang Yue continued to cast magic. The magic light in her hands was like gorgeous fireworks, blooming among the mechanical creatures. Each magic contained a powerful force, repelling or injuring the mechanical creatures. Her eyes were full of concentration and determination, as if she was a goddess who controlled the power of elements, protecting everyone with her wisdom and strength.

Su Yao and I were not to be outdone. Together with Mo Yu, we formed a solid line of defense. We wielded our weapons vigorously and fought a desperate battle with the mechanical creatures. Every collision made our arms numb, but we still gritted our teeth and persisted in fighting.

After a hard fight, everyone finally repelled the mechanical creatures. But they were all injured to varying degrees. There was a deep scratch on Mo Yu's arm, and blood stained his sleeves red. Lin Yao's face was covered with sweat and dust, and her breathing was rapid and heavy. Wang Yue's magic power was almost exhausted, and her body trembled slightly, as if she might fall down at any time. Su Yao and I were also exhausted, and our bodies seemed to have been drained of all strength.

"We must find a way to operate this device as soon as possible, otherwise we may not be able to leave here." Su Yao said panting. Her eyes were still full of determination. Although her body was exhausted, her brain was running fast, thinking about how to unlock the secret of this mechanical device.

Everyone nodded and began to search for clues around the mechanical device. Their eyes were like scanners, carefully observing every detail of the mechanical device. Just when they were in trouble, I suddenly found a symbol on the mechanical device, which was exactly the same as the symbol on the jade pendant I saw in the museum.

"I think I know what to do," I said excitedly. My voice was full of joy and hope, as if I had found a ray of light in the darkness.

I walked to the mechanical device and placed my hand on the symbol. Instantly, a powerful force was transmitted from my hand to the mechanical device. The mechanical device began to emit a dazzling light, and the surrounding space began to distort. The light was as dazzling as the sun, making it impossible for everyone to look directly at it. The distorted space seemed to be a huge vortex, sucking everything into it.

"What's going on?" Lin Yao asked in surprise. Her voice was filled with fear and curiosity, and her eyes were fixed on the mechanical device, trying to understand what was happening before her eyes.

Su Yao looked at me with a hint of surprise in her eyes. "Maybe you really found a way to go home." Her voice was full of expectation and hope, as if she saw the dawn.

As the light became stronger, everyone felt a black screen before their eyes and then lost consciousness. When they woke up again, they found themselves back in the familiar world.

"We are back..." Wang Yue said excitedly. Her voice was full of joy and emotion, and tears flashed in her eyes. She looked around, looking at the familiar environment, and her heart was filled with a sense of belonging and security.

Everyone looked at each other with joy and emotion in their eyes. They had experienced a thrilling adventure and finally returned to their own time. Their faces were filled with happy smiles, as if they had forgotten all the pain and fear.

However, they know that this adventure will remain in their memory forever. They also understand that there are still many unknown secrets in this world waiting for them to explore...
