End of the World Crisis, My Husband is from Ancient Times
Chapter 129: Exploring the Legend
In the dark cave, the air was damp and cold, filled with a disgusting smell of corruption.
Fan Mengmeng looked around vigilantly. The strange totems on the cave wall looked even more hideous under the flickering firelight.
Teng Junze followed closely behind, his brows furrowed, his eyes sharp as torches, always alert to the movements around him.
According to legend, this place contains secrets that could overthrow the dynasty, but it is also filled with deadly dangers.
They went deeper into the cave cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the sound of falling water echoing in the empty cave, adding a touch of eerie atmosphere.
There seemed to be an invisible force in the air, so oppressive that it made it difficult to breathe.
Suddenly, there was a strange noise under my feet.
"Click——" Fan Mengmeng's feet were empty and she fell down.
At the critical moment, Teng Junze was quick-witted and grabbed her wrist, pulling her back from the edge of the trap.
"Be careful!" Teng Junze growled and protected her tightly behind him.
Fan Mengmeng was still in shock, her face pale. She looked down at her feet and saw a bottomless trap in front of her, with sharp spikes stuck at the bottom.
If Teng Junze hadn't reacted quickly, she would have been torn to pieces by now.
"Are you okay?" Teng Junze asked with concern, with a barely perceptible nervousness in his tone.
Fan Mengmeng shook her head and tried to calm her pounding heart.
At this moment, the totem on the cave wall suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and the entire cave began to shake violently.
"Oh no! It's a mechanism!" Teng Junze's face changed.
"Wait..." Fan Mengmeng suddenly thought of something. She stared at the totem on the cave wall and muttered, "I think I've seen it somewhere..."
Images flashed through Fan Mengmeng's mind. They were illustrations of ancient mechanisms that she had seen while browsing ancient books in a modern library.
Those complex patterns and ingenious designs are surprisingly similar to the totem in front of us.
"I know how to crack it!" Fan Mengmeng excitedly grabbed Teng Junze's arm. "The third stone on the left, rotate it counterclockwise three times!"
Although Teng Junze was confused, he did as he was told without hesitation.
As the stone rotated, the light on the cave wall gradually dimmed and the vibration gradually stopped.
"Huh..." Teng Junze let out a long sigh, his tense nerves finally relaxing.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Fan Mengmeng was full of admiration and a hint of indescribable depth.
This girl always brings him unexpected surprises.
The two continued to go deeper, and a huge stone door appeared at the end of the cave.
The stone gate is carved with intricate patterns, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
Just as they were about to open the stone door, a group of men in black suddenly rushed out from the darkness and surrounded them.
The men in black were all agile, with sharp eyes and exuding a cold murderous aura.
The leader, wearing a hideous mask, spoke in a low, hoarse voice, "The legendary secret is not something you can get your hands on."
Teng Junze protected Fan Mengmeng behind him, swept his cold eyes over the crowd, and the long sword in his hand made a crisp buzzing sound.
"Then let's see if you have what it takes." His tone was cold and murderous.
The air was filled with a tense atmosphere.
Fan Mengmeng clenched the dagger in her hand, feeling the powerful aura emanating from Teng Junze, and felt a little more at ease.
The masked man sneered, "You overestimate your own abilities." He slowly raised the weapon in his hand, "Kill!"
Men in black came like a tide, with swords flashing and murderous intent.
Teng Junze's figure was like a ghost, waving his sword with a cold light flashing.
Every move is precise and ruthless, targeting the enemy's vital points.
His steps were light and his movements were graceful, as he moved freely among the men in black, like a dragon playing in the water.
A man in black swung his sword at him, but Teng Junze dodged to the side and swung his sword back, hitting the man in the chest.
The man in black screamed and fell to the ground.
The limited space in the cave actually became an advantage for Teng Junze.
He took advantage of the terrain, lured the men in black into a narrow passage, and defeated them one by one.
A rock fell from the top of the cave. Teng Junze was quick-witted and kicked the rock towards the group of people in black, knocking them down.
"Junze, be careful!" Fan Mengmeng watched the battle situation nervously from the side, and reminded Teng Junze from time to time to be careful of sneak attacks from behind.
Seeing Fan Mengmeng's trusting eyes, Teng Junze felt a warm current in his heart, as if infinite power was injected into his body.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and a glimmer of confidence flashed in his eyes.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Teng Junze's voice was steady and powerful. The long sword in his hand was like a silver snake, drawing graceful arcs in the air, and every swing took a life.
Seeing that his men were defeated, the masked man's face darkened and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.
He suddenly took out a black ball from his arms and smashed it to the ground.
"Boom——" With a loud noise, the cave was suddenly filled with smoke.
Teng Junze waved his sword to disperse the smoke, but found that the masked man and the remaining men in black had disappeared.
"You despicable rat!" Teng Junze snorted coldly, feeling vaguely uneasy in his heart.
He walked to Fan Mengmeng, protected her behind him, and looked around vigilantly.
"Where...did they go?" Fan Mengmeng asked with lingering fear.
Teng Junze did not answer, but squatted down, picked up a piece of black debris, put it to his nose and sniffed it.
"This smell..." His expression suddenly became serious, "It's the Ecstasy Incense!"
"Love Incense?" Fan Mengmeng was puzzled.
"A drug that can cause hallucinations." Teng Junze's tone was low and serious. "They probably want to..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt dizzy and everything in front of him began to become blurry and distorted.
He shook his head violently, trying to stay awake, but found that his consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred.
"Mengmeng..." He spoke with difficulty, stretched out his hand to grab Fan Mengmeng, but his hand fell down weakly.
When Fan Mengmeng saw Teng Junze's strange behavior, she was shocked and hurriedly supported his shaky body.
"Junze, what's wrong with you?" she asked anxiously, but found that she was also beginning to have hallucinations.
The surrounding scene became bizarre, and the totems on the cave wall seemed to come alive, pouncing towards her with bared fangs and claws.
"I... I..." Fan Mengmeng felt that her consciousness was gradually being devoured, and everything in front of her became illusory and unreal.
"Let's go..." Teng Junze used up his last bit of strength to push Fan Mengmeng away, "Let's get out of here..."
His voice grew fainter and fainter, and finally disappeared into the chaos.
Fan Mengmeng staggered backward, and everything in front of her became blurry.
She vaguely saw a black figure flash by in the depths of the cave...
"who is it……"
Amidst the strong and enchanting aroma, Fan Mengmeng felt her body floating, as if she had fallen into a dream.
She saw Teng Junze lying on the ground, his face pale. She was extremely anxious, but unable to get close to him.
The surrounding scenery was distorted and the cave turned into a strange maze. She was lost in it and couldn't find her direction.
Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in front of her, tall and mysterious, and her face could not be seen clearly.
The shadow stretched out his hand and sucked her over with a powerful force.
Fan Mengmeng struggled, but was unable to escape the control of the black shadow.
"Who are you?" Fan Mengmeng shouted with all her might, but her voice was as weak as a mosquito or fly.
The shadow didn't answer, but took her into a dark room.
In the center of the room, a huge crystal ball emits an eerie light.
The crystal ball shows a picture of the fusion of time and space, with two worlds intertwined and overlapping, and the scene is chaotic and strange.
"Space-time fusion... I see..." The shadow's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of madness, "As long as we control the fusion of space and time, we can control the entire world!"
Fan Mengmeng then understood that the conspiracy of this mysterious organization was to control the fusion of time and space!
If this conspiracy succeeds, the consequences will be unimaginable.
At this moment, Teng Junze appeared in the room.
His eyes were fierce and the long sword in his hand emitted a cold light, as if he was a Shura from hell.
"Let her go!" Teng Junze roared, his voice like thunder, shocking the entire room.
The black shadow sneered: "Just you? You don't know your own limitations!"
A fierce battle began.
Teng Junze's swordsmanship is extremely sharp, and each move carries great power. The black shadow has a strange figure, like a ghost, and is difficult to grasp.
During the battle, Fan Mengmeng gradually regained consciousness.
She saw Teng Junze fighting the black shadow desperately to protect her, and her heart was filled with emotion and worry.
Fan Mengmeng endured the physical discomfort and looked for an opportunity.
Suddenly, she saw a pile of debris in the corner of the room, among which was a stone with a strange shape.
"That is..." Fan Mengmeng's heart moved, and she remembered the totem she had seen in the cave before.
She threw the stone at the crystal ball with all her might.
The stone hit the crystal ball accurately, and the crystal ball made a crisp sound and the light disappeared instantly.
The shadow's movements also stopped, and he roared angrily: "No!"
Teng Junze seized the opportunity and stabbed the black shadow with a sword.
The black shadow was unable to dodge and was stabbed by the sword. He let out a scream and disappeared into the darkness.
The illusion in the room also disappeared, and Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze returned to the cave.
"Are you okay?" Teng Junze asked with concern.
Fan Mengmeng shook her head and looked at Teng Junze with eyes full of gratitude and love.
"We must stop them!" Fan Mengmeng said firmly.
Teng Junze nodded, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.
"Next, we..."
Fan Mengmeng suddenly interrupted him, pointed in a direction deep in the cave, and said hurriedly: "Look!"
