The scorch marks left by the energy beam still emitted a faint burnt smell in the air. Zhang Cheng squatted down, lightly brushed the ground with his fingers, his eyes as sharp as a knife.

"It was clean and neat. The person who did it must be very powerful."

“Could it be the mysterious employer?” The interstellar knight clenched his fists, his knuckles crackling, anger burning in his eyes.

The Nebula Sage pushed up his glasses, and the lenses reflected a cold light.

"The direction that Tom pointed to before his death is exactly the core area of the fortress. It seems that the answer we want is hidden there."

"Let's go!" Zhang Cheng stood up, said in a firm tone, and took the lead to step into the passage leading deep into the fortress.

The light in the passage was dim, and strange energy lights flickered on the walls on both sides, as if there was some unknown danger hidden.

Everyone moved forward cautiously, and the psychic Lily released psychic waves to detect the surrounding environment.

"Be careful!" Lily suddenly screamed, and an energy field appeared out of nowhere, enveloping the Space Warrior Mark.

Mark groaned, and his body was sent flying backwards by the powerful energy, hitting the wall heavily.

Mechanic Ali rushed forward to check Mark's injuries. "Fortunately, he was just injured by the energy shock, and his life is not in danger."

"These energy fields are part of the automatic defense system," the Protoss scholar explained, "We must be careful to avoid triggering more traps."

The rest of the journey was even more difficult, with all kinds of energy traps and maze passages appearing one after another, and everyone's physical strength and energy were constantly being consumed.

Zhang Cheng calmly analyzed the situation at hand and directed everyone to cleverly avoid danger and go deeper into the fortress step by step.

Finally, they came to a huge palace.

In the center of the hall, a huge figure stood there, holding a giant energy weapon and emitting a suffocating pressure.

"Guardian of the fortress, Drake!" said the Nebula Sage in a deep voice.

Drake let out a deafening roar, swung his giant energy weapon, and a dazzling light headed straight for Star Knight and Mark.

The two were prepared and dodged at the same time, but Drake's power was too strong and the aftermath of the attack shattered the surrounding walls.

Star Knight and Mark rushed forward again and started a fierce fight with Drake.

The whole hall was shaking with the flashing of swords and the overflowing energy.

However, Drake's power seemed endless. Star Knight and Mark were repelled again and again, and gradually more scars appeared on their bodies.

Zhang Cheng frowned, he knew that this wouldn't work.

He looked at the Lightbringer, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.

"Prepare……"

The Messenger of Light followed Zhang Cheng closely. She looked at Zhang Cheng's determined back, her heart full of trust.

A soft light emanated from her hand, enveloping Star Knight and Mark.

The two men suddenly felt a surge of power, their movements became faster and their attacks became more fierce.

The Lightbringer would occasionally use support skills to provide some strength boost to teammates fighting in the front, while at the same time vigilantly observing the surrounding environment, ready to respond to emergencies at any time.

There was no need for words between her and Zhang Cheng. Just a glance or a gesture was enough to make them understand each other and cooperate with each other tacitly.

During the fierce battle, the Nebula Sage had been carefully observing Drake's attack pattern.

He discovered that although Drake was very powerful, there seemed to be some pattern in the frequency of his attacks.

After each swing of the energy weapon, there is a brief pause, like a precision machine being charged.

This discovery made Nebula Sage very happy, and he immediately told this information to everyone who was fighting hard.

"Its attacks are regular! The interval between attacks is about three seconds!"

After receiving the hint from the Nebula Sage, Star Knight and Mark immediately adjusted their battle strategies.

They no longer attacked blindly, but instead seized the pause after Drake's attack and quickly launched a counterattack.

For a moment, the situation on the battlefield changed subtly.

Although Drake's strength is still strong, the attacks of Star Knight and Mark are gradually beginning to work, leaving scars on Drake's body.

"We need a more powerful attack!" Zhang Cheng said in a deep voice, turning his gaze to the Protoss scholar and alien scientist Carl.

"You two, is there any way to break the deadlock?"

The Protoss scholar and the alien scientist Carl looked at each other, and a gleam of light flashed in their eyes.

The Protoss scholar smiled mysteriously, "Perhaps, we can give it a try..."

The Protoss scholar smiled mysteriously and took out a strange device from his backpack. Complex energy patterns flowed on the surface of the device, flashing a faint blue light.

"This is an energy shield generator modified based on the ancient technology of the Protoss. It can adjust the defense mode according to the enemy's attack frequency." The alien scientist Carl took out a crystal that was shining with strange light and embedded it into the device.

"Combined with my energy amplification crystal, it should be able to withstand most of that guy's attacks."

The device was activated, and a translucent energy shield enveloped everyone.

Drake's energy weapon attacked again, but was blocked by the shield, causing only ripples.

The pressure on everyone suddenly decreased, and Star Knight and Mark seized the opportunity to launch a fierce counterattack against Drake.

However, Drake is no ordinary person.

Seeing that brute force didn't work, it let out an ear-piercing scream, and invisible mental waves swept over.

Some team members with weaker willpower immediately held their heads and screamed, falling into chaos.

Mechanic Ali covered his head in pain and the tools in his hands fell to the ground.

Even the usually calm Nebula Sage turned pale and his body was shaking.

There was a brief chaos within the team, and Drake took the opportunity to launch an attack. Energy weapons bombarded the shield, causing it to vibrate violently and was on the verge of collapse.

At the critical moment, Zhang Cheng grabbed the crumbling Nebula Sage and shouted, "Hold on! Don't be disturbed by its mental attack!" He turned to look at the psychic Lily, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Lily..."

Lily took a deep breath, her eyes flashing with a faint blue light.

Powerful spiritual energy fluctuations surged out of her body, forming an invisible shock wave that swept across the entire hall.

The team members affected by Drake's mental attack suddenly felt the pressure relieved, and the chaotic state gradually dissipated.

The Nebula Sage steadied his body, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately re-engaged in analyzing the battle situation.

Drake let out a painful roar, his huge body trembled slightly, and the energy weapon in his hand also paused briefly.

Star Knight and Mark seized the opportunity and launched another fierce attack.

The sharp blade and powerful energy attack poured down on Drake like a rainstorm, leaving deep scars visible to the bone.

Drake roared repeatedly, but was powerless to resist, and his huge body was on the verge of collapse.

The balance of victory seems to be tilting towards Zhang Cheng and others.

Just when everyone was preparing to give Drake the final blow, something strange happened.

The drake suddenly stopped its attack, and the wall behind it slowly cracked, revealing a hidden passage that emitted a faint, ethereal light.

The air within the tunnel shimmers with an invisible energy, hinting at long-hidden secrets.

Drake let out a low roar, seemingly with a hint of unwillingness, and then fell to the ground with a bang.

Zhang Cheng raised his hand to signal everyone to stop attacking, his eyes fixed on the secret door that was slowly opening.

A mysterious aura permeated from the door, making people shudder.

"It seems that the real secret is there..." Zhang Cheng whispered and walked towards the secret door.

The Lightbringer followed closely behind, gripping his weapon tightly, with a determined light in his eyes.

"Whatever it is, we have to face it."

The Nebula Sage pushed up his glasses, and the lenses reflected the faint light coming through the secret door.

"Hopefully... we are ready..."

Everyone slowly walked towards the secret door...
