The runes flashing on the surface of the energy ball are like the whispers of a devil, and every flash is accompanied by a mental shock.

Zhang Cheng only felt his head buzzing, as if an invisible hammer was hitting his nerves again and again.

He clenched his teeth and endured the severe pain, but his vision began to blur.

The others were not much better off. The Star Knight covered his head and groaned in pain. The Nebula Sage was pale, and the eyes behind his lenses had lost their former luster. Even the usually calm mechanic Ali held his head and curled up on the ground in pain.

"These runes... contain powerful mental attacks!" The Protoss scholar said intermittently, suppressing his discomfort, "This is the defense mechanism of the ancient interstellar civilization!"

"No, I think this is an energy conversion mechanism." Alien scientist Carl adjusted his glasses and said firmly, "These runes are more like an energy code. They guide the flow of energy."

"Energy conversion? Nonsense!" the Protoss scholar shouted angrily, "This is clearly an ancient seal! Once it is unlocked, the consequences will be disastrous!"

The two of them refused to give in and kept arguing, while the runes on the energy ball flashed more and more frequently and the mental impact became more and more intense.

Zhang Cheng felt that his consciousness was gradually fading, and the scene before his eyes became distorted.

He knew that he must find a way to break the spell as soon as possible, otherwise everyone would be swallowed up by this powerful spiritual force.

He took a deep breath, forced himself to cheer up, and shouted, "Stop arguing!"

His voice was like thunder, temporarily suppressing the argument between the two.

Zhang Cheng pointed at the energy ball and said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to argue. We must first find a way to deal with it! Scholar, you continue to study the meaning of the runes. Dr. Carl, you try to analyze the direction of energy flow. Everyone else, protect them!"

Star Knight and Mark immediately stood in front of the Protoss scholar and Dr. Carl, looking around vigilantly.

Psychic Lily released her psychic energy to form a protective shield in an attempt to resist the mental impact.

However, the rune's power grew stronger, and cracks began to appear in Lily's psychic shield.

"No! My spiritual energy can't hold up any longer!" Lily's face was pale and beads of sweat were sliding down her forehead.

At this moment, the Lightbringer suddenly walked up to the Protoss scholar and Dr. Carl, pointed at one of the runes and said, "I think... this rune is a little different from the others..."

The Light Messenger pointed his slender finger at a rune on the energy ball that was flashing with a faint blue light, and said firmly: "This rune has a different flashing frequency than the other runes, and its shape is also more complex. I think this may not be an energy code, but an encrypted form of space coordinates."

Her words were like a bolt of lightning, cutting through everyone's chaotic thoughts.

The Nebula Sage suddenly raised his head, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes behind the lenses: "Spatial coordinates? This... this is possible! The technology of ancient civilizations is far beyond our imagination. They may have mastered space jumping technology!"

Dr. Carl also became interested. He pushed his glasses and carefully observed the special rune: "If this is a spatial coordinate, then where does it point to? What secrets does it hide?"

Just as everyone was discussing heatedly, the runes on the energy ball suddenly shone brightly, and then groups of energy entities emerged from the runes.

These entities resembled wild beasts, exuding a violent aura, making deafening roars, and pounced on the crowd ferociously.

"Be careful!" the interstellar knight roared, drew out his energy sword and rushed forward.

Mark followed closely behind, the energy cannon in his hand booming.

Energy beasts are extremely fast and incredibly powerful.

The star warrior's energy sword collided with the beast's claws, making a harsh metal friction sound.

He felt a powerful force coming and his palm went numb.

Although Mark's energy cannon is extremely powerful, the beast is extremely flexible and can always avoid the fatal blow.

The battle was extremely fierce, with energy lights interweaving and explosions one after another.

Star Knight and Mark gradually felt that they were unable to cope with the situation and scars began to appear on their bodies.

Lily's psychic shield had long been shattered. She could only hold on, harassing the energy beast with weak psychic attacks.

"We can't go on like this! We'll be exhausted to death!" Mark said gritting his teeth, and punched back an energy beast that pounced on him, but more beasts had surrounded him.

There were also several deep scratches on the interstellar knight's body, and blood was flowing from the wounds.

He glanced at the people behind him, his eyes full of determination.

Suddenly, the silent mechanic Ali stood up with a determined light in his eyes, and shouted, "I'll do it!"

Mechanic Ali, who is usually taciturn and busy with various mechanical parts, shows amazing insight at this moment.

He stared at the violent energy beasts with sharp eyes and noticed that they were not fighting each other, but were connected to each other by a kind of flickering energy lines, like a strange network.

"Their weakness! It's those connection points!" Ali shouted loudly, his voice still clearly audible amid the explosion.

Star Knight and Mark were cheered up upon hearing this and immediately changed their tactics.

They no longer engage in head-on confrontation with energy beasts, but instead look for opportunities to attack those connection points.

The interstellar knight was agile and moved between the energy beasts like a ghost, with the energy sword in his hand accurately slashing at the connection point.

Mark's energy cannon also adjusted its attack mode, concentrating the energy into a beam and accurately hitting the connection point.

"Bang!" With a crisp sound, an energy line was cut off by the interstellar knight, and the two connected energy beasts instantly lost coordination and their movements became sluggish.

Mark seized the opportunity and fired a cannon at the connection point of an energy beast. The beast immediately let out a sharp roar, and its body turned into points of light and dissipated.

The situation has eased, but the crisis is far from over.

The number of energy beasts is still large, and they continue to emerge from the runes.

Although psychic Lily's psychic shield was broken, she did not give up.

She gritted her teeth, concentrated all her remaining spiritual energy, and deeply detected the flickering runes.

In the world of spiritual power, she saw a complex energy map. The runes were like nodes in which energy flowed at a specific frequency.

Suddenly, Lily had an idea. She found that she could interfere with the operation of the runes by injecting energy of a specific frequency.

"I know what to do!" Lily shouted, "We need to gather the energy and inject it into the runes at this frequency!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately followed Lily's instructions.

Zhang Cheng, Nebula Sage, Light Messenger and others all have the ability to manipulate energy. They gather their respective energies into a powerful energy flow, and slowly inject it into the runes on the energy ball according to the frequency instructed by Lily.

As energy was injected, the flashing of the runes gradually slowed down, and the emergence of energy beasts also slowed down.

However, just when everyone thought they were about to succeed, the energy ball suddenly emitted a deafening roar, and an even more powerful energy wave swept out...

"No! This... what is this?!" Ali shouted in horror, pointing above the energy ball, where a huge black vortex was slowly forming.

Zhang Cheng looked at the Messenger of Light's focused expression, her keen observation and accurate judgment, and his heart was filled with admiration.

He couldn't help but reach out his hand and gently put his arm around the Light Messenger's shoulders, giving her silent encouragement and support.

The Messenger of Light felt Zhang Cheng's warmth, turned his head slightly, and leaned lightly on his shoulder, enjoying this moment of tranquility and warmth.

Lily's psychic detection and precise energy guidance, as well as mechanic Ali's insight into the weaknesses of energy beasts, have given Zhang Cheng a new understanding of the abilities of his team members.

He realized that the power of a team is far stronger than that of an individual, and only through unity and cooperation can all difficulties be overcome.

As energy was injected, the flashing of the runes gradually slowed down, and the emergence of the energy beasts also slowed down, and finally disappeared completely.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their tense nerves finally relaxing.

Star Knight and Mark put away their weapons and supported each other as they walked to the crowd.

Lily also slumped to the ground with a pale face, gasping for breath.

"We...we succeeded?" Mark's voice trembled a little, with a hint of disbelief.

"It seems so." The Nebula Sage nodded, his eyes behind the lenses flashing with wisdom, "We have successfully cracked the secret of the rune."

However, just as everyone was rejoicing, the energy ball began to emit a low buzzing sound, and the entire new space began to vibrate, as if something huge was about to happen.

"What's going on?" The Star Knight looked around vigilantly, "This sound... makes me feel creepy..."

"Not good!" Dr. Carl's face suddenly changed, "This energy ball...it...it's going to explode!"

Zhang Cheng's heart sank, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

He pulled up the Lightbringer and shouted, "Quick! Get out of here!"

"It's too late!" The Protoss scholar pointed at the energy ball in horror, "Look..."
