Chapter 606 A Thrilling Escape and the Prelude to the Final Showdown
Just as Ellie grasped the third key, the cave began to shake violently, with boulders tumbling down from above, raising clouds of dust. "Quick, there's no time! Run to the exit!" Lin Yu shouted hoarsely, his voice drowned out by the roar of the collapsing cave, but his anxious expression told the team that they had to evacuate immediately.
They ran frantically through the crumbling cave, the ground beneath their feet sometimes collapsing, sometimes rising, every step fraught with danger. Lin Yu brought up the rear, constantly watching behind them to prevent any mysterious creatures or falling rocks from threatening his teammates. A huge boulder hurtled towards Xiao Wang, but Lin Yu reacted swiftly, shoving Xiao Wang aside, though the rock grazed his arm, leaving a bloody gash.
"Lin Yu, you're injured!" Ellie turned around and saw this scene, calling out with heartache. "Don't worry about me, run!" Lin Yu gritted his teeth and urged everyone. They were getting closer and closer to the cave entrance, but the entrance was mostly blocked by a huge boulder, leaving only a narrow gap.
"Don't panic, everyone. One by one, let Ellie get out first," Lin Yu directed. Ellie, being small and thin, squeezed through the gap first. Then, with Lin Yu's help, the other team members also struggled to pass through the gap. When it was Lin Yu's turn, his shoulder got stuck, and he couldn't squeeze through. At this moment, the collapse inside the cave became more violent, and rocks kept falling behind him.
"Lin Yu, how are you?" Ellie called anxiously from outside the cave. "Don't worry about me, you guys go first!" Lin Yu struggled fiercely, his shoulders aching from the chafing. Just when he was almost in despair, the team members outside the cave worked together to push the boulder blocking the entrance, widening the gap slightly. With all his might, Lin Yu finally squeezed out.
As soon as they stepped outside, a deafening roar erupted behind them as the cave collapsed completely, sending a cloud of dust billowing into the sky. The group collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, overwhelmed with the joy of surviving a close call.
"We succeeded! We found all three keys!" Xiao Wang exclaimed excitedly. Lin Yu looked at the three keys in his hand, but his heart remained uneasy. "The Dark Organization will definitely not let this go. We must find the place where the mysterious energy is sealed as soon as possible and stop them."
According to the information provided by the guardians, the location where the mysterious energy is sealed is in the core region of the planet, which is filled with complex defense mechanisms. Lin Yu and the others dared not delay and immediately boarded the spaceship, flying towards the core region.
As they approached the core area, they found it shrouded in a powerful energy shield, making it impossible to get close. Lin Yu attempted to communicate with the shield, hoping to find a way in; however, they were met only by aircraft from the Dark Organization.
"Hand over the key, or none of you will leave here alive!" the leader of the dark organization said viciously over the communication channel. Lin Yu sneered, "Dream on! If you want the key, come and get it if you can."
The two sides faced off, the atmosphere tense to the extreme. Suddenly, the dark organization's aircraft launched an attack, beams of energy shooting towards Lin Yu's spaceship. Lin Yu quickly maneuvered his ship to dodge the attack while simultaneously directing his team to counterattack.
In the fierce firefight, Lin Yu noticed that the Dark Organization's aircraft seemed to be enhanced by some powerful force, making their attacks more ferocious and precise. "They must have found a way to increase their strength; we can't fight them head-on," Lin Yu said.
Just then, Ellie noticed an abnormal energy fluctuation on the energy shield. "Lin Yu, look here. The energy fluctuation of this node is strange. It might be a weakness in the shield." Lin Yu looked in the direction Ellie was pointing and had an adventurous plan in mind.
"Everyone, focus your fire on this node. I'll pilot the spaceship over there and use the impact to break through the shield," Lin Yu said. Although the team members felt the plan was extremely risky, they had no better option at the moment and could only nod in agreement.
Lin Yu piloted the spaceship, charging towards the energy shield amidst a hail of bullets. His team attacked the node with all their might, unleashing a barrage of purple energy beams. As the spaceship neared the shield, the energy fluctuations at the node became abnormally intense, and a tiny crack appeared in the shield.
"Now! Charge!" Lin Yu shouted, pushing the control stick, and the spaceship crashed into the crack like a meteor. Under the immense impact, the shield was finally breached, and Lin Yu and the others successfully entered the core area. However, what awaited them were numerous traps already laid by the dark organization. Could they successfully seal the mysterious energy and completely defeat the dark organization in this perilous core area?
