End of the World Crisis, My Husband is from Ancient Times
Chapter 131: Exploring New Opportunities and Embarking on a New Journey
Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze stood side by side on the top of the mountain, overlooking the merged world.
The rolling hills are no longer the familiar scene in my memory. The strange vegetation emits a faint fluorescence, dotted between the mountains, like stars in the night sky.
The city, which should have been bustling, was now shrouded in an eerie silence. Only the wind whistled past, bringing bursts of strange fragrance mixed with a hint of unease.
"This world... seems to have become different." Fan Mengmeng said softly, with a hint of worry between her brows.
Teng Junze put his arm around her shoulders, his deep gaze sweeping across this unfamiliar land. "Indeed. Fusion isn't just a simple splicing; perhaps, it creates new rules."
They decided to go down the mountain to explore.
The ground beneath my feet felt soft, like stepping on thick clouds.
The air around her also became sticky. When she breathed, Fan Mengmeng felt slightly dizzy and her body felt a little uncoordinated.
Teng Junze also noticed something unusual. He looked around vigilantly and tightened his grip on the sword.
The further down you go, the more intense this discomfort becomes.
The originally colorful vegetation began to become distorted, as if struggling in pain.
The strange fragrance in the air became stronger and stronger, making people want to vomit.
Fan Mengmeng covered her mouth and nose, her face pale. "This smell... is so strange..."
Teng Junze supported her and said in a serious tone, "Be careful, this place might be a little strange."
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the front, like something singing in a low voice.
The two looked at each other and walked cautiously towards the source of the sound.
Pushing aside the dense branches and leaves, they saw an open space.
In the center of the open space, a pool of emerald green spring water was emitting a bright light, and the chanting sound seemed to come from the spring water.
Just as they approached the spring, a powerful force pushed them away.
Fan Mengmeng staggered a few steps and almost fell.
Teng Junze quickly supported her, his eyes fixed on the spring water.
"There's something... here..." Fan Mengmeng gasped, feeling even more uncomfortable.
Teng Junze didn't say anything, but just held Fan Mengmeng's hand tightly, his eyes full of vigilance.
Suddenly, the spring water began to roll violently, making roaring sounds.
A huge whirlpool formed in the spring water, and a powerful suction force sucked everything around it in.
"Mengmeng!" Teng Junze shouted and hugged Fan Mengmeng tightly, trying to resist the powerful suction.
However, the power of the whirlpool was too strong, and they were like two fallen leaves, being ruthlessly sucked into the whirlpool.
After a dizzying spin, they fell heavily to the ground.
Fan Mengmeng only felt darkness in front of her eyes and a buzzing in her ears.
She struggled to stand up, but found her body limp and weak.
"Teng Junze..." She called out weakly, but only heard a faint breathing sound.
"I... I'm here..." Teng Junze's voice sounded right next to her ears, but it was extremely weak.
Fan Mengmeng tried hard to open her eyes and saw Teng Junze lying beside her, his face pale and his brows furrowed.
She reached out her hand, wanting to touch him, but found that her hand was also shaking slightly.
"This...where is this..." Fan Mengmeng's voice trembled and was full of fear.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in their ears: "Welcome to...a new world..."
Fan Mengmeng's consciousness gradually became clear, and the world before her was no longer chaotic darkness.
The pungent smell of sulfur filled her nostrils, causing her to cough a few times.
She struggled to sit up and found herself and Teng Junze in a huge cave.
Countless stalactites shimmering with strange light hang from the top of the cave, making the entire cave look like a dreamlike fairyland, but with a strange atmosphere.
"What is this place..." Fan Mengmeng rubbed her still dizzy head and muttered to herself.
A warm current flowed out from her fingertips and quickly spread throughout her body.
This familiar feeling...
It was her golden finger that automatically repaired her body!
She immediately understood that the dizziness and weakness she had just felt were due to the energy shock brought about by time travel, and her golden finger was helping her adapt to the new environment.
Teng Junze also slowly woke up. He held his forehead, his face still pale.
Fan Mengmeng quickly passed a stream of warmth into his body. Teng Junze immediately felt much more comfortable. He looked at Fan Mengmeng in surprise: "You..."
"Shh!" Fan Mengmeng raised a finger, signaling him not to speak.
She closed her eyes, concentrated, and felt the energy fluctuations around her.
A strange energy field enveloped the entire cave, and it was this energy field that caused the previous suction and discomfort.
Fan Mengmeng quickly analyzed the composition and patterns of this energy field and constructed a model in her mind.
She opened her eyes, a glint of confidence in them: "I know how to get out."
They meandered along the cave, and Fan Mengmeng, relying on her perception of the energy field, guided them to avoid dangerous areas.
Along the way, they discovered some strange plants and creatures that they had never seen before.
Fan Mengmeng used her specially made recorder to record these new species one by one, her heart filled with the excitement of exploration.
However, their actions seem to have attracted the attention of some people.
Behind them, several dark shadows followed quietly, with greed flashing in their eyes.
"Huh, we actually found a shortcut. Looks like we're pretty lucky." A cold voice sounded in the darkness. "However, not everyone can take this shortcut..." One of the shadows smiled sinisterly, and a black sphere appeared in his hand, emitting an unsettling aura.
He gently threw the sphere, and it rolled silently in front of Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze...
"Be careful!" Teng Junze grabbed Fan Mengmeng and protected her behind him.
The black sphere suddenly exploded, emitting a piercing scream, and a cloud of black smoke instantly spread out...
Fan Mengmeng felt dizzy and the world before her eyes began to blur...
"Teng Junze..."
"I'm here..." The black fog dissipated, and Fan Mengmeng found herself and Teng Junze trapped in a transparent energy shield.
The shadowy figures smirked, and one of them said, "This is our latest 'Imprisonment Ball,' specially designed to deal with outsiders like you. Just surrender!"
Teng Junze snorted coldly, and a dagger appeared in his hand, the blade flashing with cold light.
"Just this?" He curled up a disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth, flicked his wrist, and the dagger turned into a silver light, accurately hitting a node of the energy shield.
The energy shield vibrated violently, making a sharp buzzing sound.
The faces of those dark shadows changed drastically and they exclaimed: "Impossible! This is..." Before they could finish their words, the energy shield shattered and turned into starlight and dissipated in the air.
Teng Junze's movements were so smooth and seamless that Fan Mengmeng's eyes were filled with stars.
She looked at him with admiration and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Teng Junze, you are so handsome!" Teng Junze felt her gaze, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and a hint of pampering flashed in his eyes.
He ignored the stunned black shadows and walked straight up to them, saying in a cold tone: "Now, it's my turn." The dagger in his hand flew, flashing with cold light. Before the black shadows even had time to react, he held their acupoints and made them unable to move.
Teng Junze did not harm them, but instead looted all their belongings, then tied them up and threw them into the corner of the cave.
After doing all this, he walked to Fan Mengmeng, gently took her hand, and said, "Let's go."
Fan Mengmeng followed him obediently, and asked curiously as they walked, "How do you know where the energy shield's weakness is?"
Teng Junze smiled mysteriously and said, "Secret."
The atmosphere became more relaxed as they continued along the cavern.
Suddenly, Teng Junze stopped and his eyes fell on a stone wall in front of him.
There are some strange symbols carved on the stone wall, emitting a faint fluorescence.
"What is this?" Fan Mengmeng also noticed the symbols on the stone wall and asked curiously.
Teng Junze observed the symbol carefully, frowned slightly, and said, "This seems to be... an ancient text." He reached out and touched the symbol, and a strange energy came from his fingertips and flowed throughout his body.
A picture suddenly emerged in his mind: an ancient altar, on which was placed a shining gem...
"I think we have found a clue." Teng Junze withdrew his hand, his eyes flashing with excitement.
"What clue?" Fan Mengmeng asked.
Teng Junze pointed at the symbols on the stone wall and said, "There is an ancient legend recorded on it..." He paused, looked at Fan Mengmeng deeply, and said slowly, "A legend about new opportunities..." He reached out and gently stroked the symbols on the stone wall, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't continue.
"Teng Junze..." Fan Mengmeng was about to ask further questions but was interrupted by him.
"Shh..." Teng Junze put his index finger to his lips, signaling her to be quiet.
He listened attentively and seemed to hear some movement.
"Someone is coming..." He whispered, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp.
Deep in the cave, the sound of footsteps echoed, coming from far away and getting closer.
Teng Junze protected Fan Mengmeng behind him, holding a dagger in his hand, and looked at the cave entrance vigilantly.
In the darkness, several figures gradually appeared. They were wearing black clothes and had their faces covered, revealing only a pair of eyes flashing with greed.
The leader was a burly man, holding a huge battle axe in his hand, exuding a terrifying aura.
"It seems that we are not the only visitors." Teng Junze said in a cold tone, without any fear in his eyes.
"Hand over what you have on you and I will spare your life!" the burly man said in a rough voice, his tone full of arrogance and disdain.
Teng Junze sneered, "Just you guys?"
Before he finished speaking, he flashed and rushed towards the man in black like a ghost.
The dagger flashed a cold light in the air and accurately pierced the throat of a man in black.
Blood splattered out and the man in black fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the other men in black drew their weapons and besieged Teng Junze.
Teng Junze was agile and could move freely among the men in black. His dagger was like a poisonous snake, and every attack was sure to take someone's life.
Fan Mengmeng stood aside and did not take any action.
She knew that Teng Junze was strong enough to deal with these men in black, but she needed to conserve her strength to deal with more powerful enemies.
The battle ended quickly, and all the men in black fell in a pool of blood, leaving only the burly man.
His face was livid and his eyes were filled with anger and fear.
"You... who are you?" he asked tremblingly.
Teng Junze didn't answer, but just looked at him coldly.
"I... I am the boss of Black Wind Village. You... you can't kill me!" the burly man shouted in horror.
Teng Junze's eyes flashed with disdain, "Black Wind Village? Never heard of it."
He raised his dagger and was about to kill the burly man when suddenly a deafening roar came from deep in the cave.
"What's going on?" Fan Mengmeng's face changed, and an uneasy premonition arose in her heart.
The roar grew louder and louder, and the entire cave began to shake violently.
Cracks appeared on the stone wall and gravel kept falling down.
"Oh no! The ruins are going to collapse!" the burly man shouted in horror.
Teng Junze frowned and grabbed Fan Mengmeng's hand, "Let's go!"
They ran wildly along the depths of the cave, hearing bursts of loud noises behind them and rubble falling like raindrops.
Suddenly, a bright light appeared ahead.
"Exit!" Fan Mengmeng shouted in surprise.
They picked up speed and rushed towards the light.
However, just as they were about to reach the exit, a dark shadow suddenly rushed out from the light and blocked their way.
"Want to leave? Not that easy!" The black shadow laughed coldly.
"It's you!" Fan Mengmeng recognized the identity of the black shadow. It was the leader of the men in black who had attacked them outside the energy shield before.
"You didn't expect that we'd meet again." The leader of the men in black said with a sinister smile, "This time, you won't be able to escape even if you have wings!"
Teng Junze's eyes were cold, and the dagger in his hand flashed with a cold light.
"Then give it a try!"
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt a violent vibration under his feet.
"Not good!" His face changed drastically, "The ruins are about to collapse!"
"Hahaha! Let's die together!" the leader of the men in black laughed wildly.
The roof of the cave began to collapse, and huge rocks fell like meteorites.
Teng Junze hugged Fan Mengmeng and protected her under his body.
"Teng Junze..." Fan Mengmeng hugged him tightly, her eyes full of fear.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Teng Junze whispered in her ear.
At this moment, a golden light suddenly emanated from Fan Mengmeng, enveloping them.
The golden light became brighter and brighter, and finally formed
