Chapter 753 Core

"It seems that we have really found the core of the temple." Bai Ye said in a low voice.

The soldiers nodded in agreement. They knew that this energy ball was the key to their escape. However, they were a little troubled as to how to remove its seal.

"We have to find a way to lift the seal." Bai Ye said.

The soldiers began to carefully observe the runes and mechanical devices, trying to find the rules in them. However, these runes and mechanical devices were very complicated and they could not find a way to crack them for a while.

"These runes... seem to be somewhat similar to those we have seen before." A soldier suddenly said.

Hearing this, Bai Ye hurried forward. He studied the runes carefully and found that they were indeed somewhat similar to those he had seen before. However, these runes were more complex and profound, as if they contained some unknown wisdom.

"It seems that we have to use a smarter method to crack these runes." Bai Ye said.

The soldiers nodded in agreement. They began to brainstorm and try to find a way to crack the runes. After some effort, they finally found an important clue. The runes seemed to be arranged in a certain order, and this order was closely related to some mechanisms inside the temple.

"We found it!" a soldier shouted excitedly.

Bai Ye heard this and hurried forward. He carefully studied the order of the runes, and then operated the buttons on the console in order. As he operated, the runes began to slowly rotate, making a low roaring sound.

Suddenly, a dazzling light burst out from the energy ball, illuminating the entire room. At the same time, the runes and mechanical devices stopped rotating, as if they were sealed by some force.

"Success!" Bai Ye shouted excitedly.

The soldiers cheered as well. They looked at the huge energy ball with awe and anticipation in their hearts. They knew that this energy ball contained endless technological power and was the key to their leaving here.

However, just as they were about to leave, a voice suddenly echoed in the room. "Do you think you can leave like this? You are so naive!"

Bai Ye and the soldiers turned their heads in surprise when they heard this. In the corner of the room, a figure slowly emerged. It was a creature of unknown civilization wearing a robe and with a majestic face. There was a gleam of wisdom in his eyes, as if he could see through everything.

"Who are you?" Bai Ye asked vigilantly.

The robed man smiled and said, "I am the true guardian of this temple and the last inheritor of this unknown civilization. The fact that you can come here means that you have passed my test."

Bai Ye felt relieved after hearing this. He asked, "What secrets does this temple... hide?"

The robed man sighed and said, "This temple is the last legacy of our civilization. It contains endless technological power, but it also hides huge dangers. We built this temple to protect these technological powers from being used by evil people."

Bai Ye nodded, and he nodded in understanding. He asked: "So, how can we get out of here safely?"

The robed man said: "To leave here, you must accept my final test. Only by passing the test can you gain the recognition of the temple and leave here safely."

Bai Ye heard this and a surge of fighting spirit surged in his heart. He said, "We are willing to accept the test, no matter how difficult it is."

The robed man nodded and said, "Very good, then I wish you good luck. Remember, courage, wisdom and unity are the keys to your success."

After saying that, the robed man slowly disappeared into the air. Bai Ye and the soldiers looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes. They knew that this test would determine their fate.

Suddenly, the whole room began to vibrate. The runes on the wall began to glow, and the mechanical devices began to operate. Bai Ye and the soldiers quickly stood firm, ready to meet the upcoming challenge.

"Everyone be careful, the test has begun!" Bai Ye shouted loudly.

The soldiers nodded to show that they understood. They stared closely at the runes and mechanical devices around them, trying to find the pattern. After some effort, they finally found an important clue. Those runes and mechanical devices seemed to be arranged in a certain order, and this order was closely related to some mechanisms inside the temple.

"We found it!" a soldier shouted excitedly.

Bai Ye heard this and hurried forward. He carefully studied the sequence of the runes and mechanical devices, and then operated the buttons on the console in sequence. As he operated, the runes and mechanical devices began to slowly rotate, making a low roar.

Suddenly, a dazzling light burst out from the energy ball, illuminating the entire room. At the same time, the entire temple began to vibrate, as if responding to some kind of power.

"Success!" Bai Ye shouted excitedly.

The soldiers cheered as well. They looked at the huge energy ball with awe and anticipation in their hearts. They knew that they had successfully passed the test and gained the recognition of the temple.

However, just as they were about to leave, a voice suddenly echoed inside the temple. "Congratulations, brave explorers. You have successfully passed the test and gained the temple's recognition."

Bai Ye and the soldiers turned their heads in surprise when they heard this. In the core area of ​​the temple, a huge holographic projection slowly emerged. It was a creature of unknown civilization wearing a long robe and with a majestic face. It was the robed man they had seen before.

"It's you?" Bai Ye said in surprise.

The robed man smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, it was me. I have been observing you and watching you pass the tests step by step. I am very satisfied with your performance."

Bai Ye felt a surge of pride when he heard this. He said, "Thank you for your recognition. We are willing to accept any challenge just to find a way out of here."

The robed man nodded and said, "Very good, then I will tell you the way out of here. But before you leave, I want to give you a warning. The outside world is full of dangers and unknowns. You must stay vigilant and united to face all challenges." Bai Ye and the soldiers nodded to show that they understood. They knew that this warning was very important. They must always stay vigilant and united to survive in this world full of dangers and unknowns.

The robed man continued, "To leave here, you must find the exit of the temple. However, this exit is very hidden, so you need to search carefully. I will give you some clues to help you find the exit."

After that, the robed man began to tell the clues about the temple exit. Bai Ye and the soldiers listened carefully, afraid of missing any details. After some efforts, they finally found the temple exit.

It was a narrow passage hidden in the corner of the temple. Both sides of the passage were covered with various complex runes and mechanical devices, which looked very dangerous. However, Bai Ye and the soldiers did not retreat. They held each other's hands tightly and walked into the passage together.

The passage was very dark, with only a few weak lights illuminating the front. They moved forward cautiously, fearing that they would trigger some mechanism. After some effort, they finally walked out of the passage and came to the outside of the temple.

They looked at the unfamiliar environment around them, their hearts filled with awe and anticipation. They knew that this was a brand new world, waiting for them to explore and discover. They held each other's hands tightly and embarked on a new journey together.

However, just as they were about to leave, there was a sudden violent tremor. They turned around in surprise and saw that the temple began to collapse, with huge stones and debris falling one after another. They hurriedly dodged the falling rocks and looked for a safe shelter.

After some efforts, they finally found a safe refuge. They looked at the collapsed temple, their hearts filled with shock and awe. They knew that this temple was not only a huge treasure, but also a place full of dangers and unknowns. They must always be vigilant and united to survive in this world.

In the shelter, they began to organize their equipment and supplies. They knew that the road ahead would be more difficult and dangerous. They had to be fully prepared to face all challenges.

After a rest, they set out on their journey again. They passed through a dense jungle, crossed a wide river, and came to a vast plain. The plain was full of various strange creatures and plants, which made them feel curious and scared.

They moved forward cautiously, fearing that they might trigger any danger. Suddenly, a huge beast rushed out from the bushes and pounced on them. They quickly dodged the beast's attack and looked for an opportunity to fight back.

After a fierce battle, they finally defeated the beast. They looked at the beast lying on the ground, their hearts filled with pride and a sense of accomplishment. They knew that they had successfully dealt with the first challenge, and the road ahead would be more difficult and dangerous.

They continued to move forward, passing through mysterious relics and ancient ruins. These relics and ruins hid countless secrets and treasures, which made them feel excited and nervous. They carefully explored these relics and ruins, looking for useful clues and supplies.

Suddenly, they came to a place where they continued to move forward, passing through mysterious relics and ancient ruins, and every step was full of unknowns and dangers. As the sun gradually set, they came to a seemingly inconspicuous entrance to the ruins. It was a half-open stone door, engraved with mottled runes, and the traces of time made these runes blurred and difficult to recognize.

"Something seems to be wrong here." Bai Ye said in a low voice. His intuition told him that there was an unknown secret hidden behind this door.

The soldiers stood in a circle, carefully observing the surroundings. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the stone door creaked, as if whispering. Bai Ye took a deep breath, pushed open the stone door first, and stepped into the unknown area.

Behind the door was a narrow passage with mottled stone walls on both sides. Water drops dripped from the top of the passage from time to time, making crisp sounds. As they walked along the passage, the air was filled with a damp and musty smell.

"This place... looks like a basement." A soldier whispered, his voice echoing in the small space.

Bai Ye nodded, and he noticed a glimmer of light at the end of the passage. They quickened their pace and finally reached the end of the passage. The scene before them surprised them - it was a huge basement, the top of which had collapsed, revealing a mottled sky, and rain poured down from the cracks, forming puddles of water.

The basement was filled with all kinds of debris, old boxes, broken weapons, decayed books... These items seemed to tell the story of the past glory and decline of this place. However, what attracted their attention most were the bird feathers scattered on the ground. These bird feathers were colorful, but they were all broken and had lost their former luster.

"These bird feathers... look quite old." Bai Ye squatted down, picked up a bird feather and observed it carefully.

“Yes, and these feathers… seem to still retain some kind of power.” said a soldier, his eyes flashing with curiosity and awe.

Bai Ye nodded. He felt a faint energy fluctuation left on these bird feathers. These bird feathers seemed to have some mysterious connection with this basement.

They continued to explore the basement, and suddenly, a line of small words came into view. This line of small words was engraved on a broken stone tablet, and the handwriting was already blurred, but under the washing of rain, a few key words could still be recognized: "The Emperor...is dead."

"The emperor is dead?" Bai Ye repeated this sentence in surprise, an inexplicable shock surging in his heart.

The soldiers also gathered around, looking at the small words, their hearts filled with doubts and puzzlement. This basement, this place full of stagnant water and broken feathers, actually hid such an amazing secret.

"The Emperor...who do you mean?" asked a soldier.

Bai Ye shook his head. He didn't know who the emperor was referring to. However, the appearance of this line of small words undoubtedly filled this basement with more mysteries and dangers.

They decided to continue exploring the basement. They walked along the water, taking every step carefully, fearing that they would trigger some mechanism. Suddenly, they heard a low roar, as if something was stirring deep underground.

"Everyone be careful, there may be danger here." Bai Ye said in a low voice, signaling the soldiers to prepare for battle.

They quickened their pace and finally came to the source of the roar. The scene before them shocked them - a huge mechanical device lying quietly in the water, its surface covered with rust and moss, but one could still feel its former power and majesty.

"What is this?" a soldier asked in surprise.

Bai Ye shook his head. He didn't know what this mechanical device was used for. However, he felt a strong energy fluctuation left on this mechanical device. This energy fluctuation was exactly the same as the energy fluctuation on those bird feathers.

"It seems that this basement... is inextricably linked to that emperor." Bai Ye said in a low voice.

The soldiers nodded in agreement. They knew that there were countless secrets and dangers hidden in this basement. They had to stay vigilant and united at all times to cope with all challenges.
