A Mysterious Journey Through the Shang Dynasty

We stood in the cave, full of doubts about the disappearance of Xiao Yan and the mechanical creatures. The mysterious atmosphere seemed to be even thicker, and it was a bit suffocating for us.

"What is going on? Why did they suddenly disappear?" Lin Yao's face was full of confusion, and there was a hint of uneasiness in her voice.

Mo Yu frowned and looked around the cave. "Now is not the time to dwell on this. We must first find a way to seal the evil power. But their disappearance is indeed very strange. Maybe there will be a connection later."

I looked at the complicated patterns on the wall, and my doubts grew deeper and deeper. "Could it be that because the gate of time and space was opened, they went to another place? Or were they controlled by some force?"

Su Yao shook her head gently. "It's hard to say, but their disappearance is definitely not simple. Let's focus on interpreting these patterns first. Maybe we can find some clues."

Wang Yue held the magic wand and closed his eyes slightly to feel the breath in the cave. "The magic fluctuations here are very strange. I always feel that something is watching us in the dark."

The mysterious creature stood aside, watching our discussion quietly, and there seemed to be a hint of doubt in its eyes.

We once again focused our attention on the patterns on the wall. Those patterns were like ancient codes, waiting for us to decipher.

"What message do these patterns convey?" Lin Yao moved closer to the wall and carefully observed every line.

Mo Yu gently ran his finger over the pattern, "It feels like these patterns are telling a story, but we don't know what the story is yet."

I suddenly thought of an idea, "Su Yao, is there any record of these patterns in your ancient book?"

Su Yao quickly opened the book and searched carefully, "Let me see... I haven't found any relevant content yet. But I will continue to look for it."

We were lost in thought in the cave, trying to unravel the mystery of these patterns. However, at this moment, a slight vibration was heard in the cave again.

"What's wrong again?" Lin Yao grabbed my arm nervously.

The mysterious creature let out a vigilant roar and stared intently into the depths of the cave.

Mo Yu gripped his sword tightly, "Everyone be careful, there may be new situations."

As we were nervously looking into the depths of the cave, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in front of us. The light gradually faded, and a group of figures appeared in front of us. They looked exactly like the Mechanical Elders we had seen before, and we were all stunned for a moment.

"Who are you?" I asked in surprise, my tone full of vigilance.

One of the robots took a step forward and said in a cold voice: "We are the guardians of this space-time trap, the Mechanical Elders. You have entered a place you shouldn't be in. The space-time rules here are very different from the world you are familiar with. Your presence has disrupted the balance here. You must find the correct space-time channel and leave as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Lin Yao hid behind us in fear, "They look so scary. Will they hurt us?"

Su Yao frowned. "Why are we here? What's going on?"

The robot replied: "You have fallen into a trap in a different space-time. We don't know the specific reason. But you must leave as soon as possible, otherwise you will cause greater damage to this space-time."

I then asked: "Then how do we find the correct space-time channel?"

The robot shook his head slightly: "This space-time trap is full of unknowns and dangers. Every decision may lead to unpredictable consequences. We cannot give you specific guidance. Everything needs to be explored by you."

Mo Yu took a step forward, "Then the purpose of your appearance is just to make us leave?"

The robot replied: "We are the guardians of this space-time trap, and it is our duty to maintain order. Your intrusion has brought instability, which must be resolved as soon as possible."

Wang Yue said anxiously, "But we don't know where to start looking. Time and space are distorted here. We feel helpless."

The robot remained expressionless: "This is the challenge you must face. Only with your wisdom and courage can you find a way out."

Lin Yao cried and said, "This is too difficult. Can we really find the way home?"

Su Yao comforted: "Don't be discouraged, Lin Yao. We can do it. We have been through so much and can't give up at this time."

Mo Yu clenched his sword and said firmly: "That's right, we will continue to look for clues and we will definitely find the correct time and space channel."

At this moment, the mysterious creature suddenly let out a low roar, and the hostile roar made the air seem to freeze. "Why is this mysterious creature so hostile to them?" I blurted out in surprise.

Mo Yu also frowned, his eyes moving back and forth between the mysterious creatures and the Mechanical Elders, "I don't know, but there must be a reason. We must be more careful."

Although the Mechanical Elders did not say anything, it could be seen from their faintly flickering electronic light that they understood in their hearts that the hostility of the mysterious creatures was no accident, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

And the feeling of conspiracy in my heart became stronger and stronger. It felt like there was an invisible hand controlling everything in the dark, which made me shudder. "I always feel that there is a conspiracy here." I whispered, "The appearance of these mechanical elders was too sudden, and their attitude towards us was also very strange. Are they really just here to maintain the order of the space-time trap? Or do they have other ulterior motives?"

Everyone's faces became more solemn after hearing what I said. We looked at the Mechanical Elders with caution, not knowing what secrets and dangers they were hiding. But we knew that we had to remain vigilant and continue to find a way home...
