End of the World Crisis, My Husband is from Ancient Times

Chapter 132: Ruins Adventure, Breaking Through Obstacles

The golden light dissipated, and Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze found themselves in an unfamiliar environment.

The dome is supported by towering stone pillars, which are carved with strange runes and emit a faint green light.

The air was filled with the smell of dampness and decay, which made people shudder.

"This is..." Fan Mengmeng held Teng Junze's hand tightly, her heart beating like a drum.

Teng Junze looked around, his brows furrowed.

"It seems we have entered the interior of the ruins." His voice was low and contained a hint of caution.

The interior of the ruins was eerie and dark, with only the faint green light emanating from the stone pillars barely illuminating a small area around it.

It was eerily quiet, with only the sounds of their breathing echoing in the empty space.

Suddenly, a series of "clicking" sounds broke the silence.

The ground began to shake, and several stone pillars slowly moved, revealing a passage hidden behind them.

"Be careful!" Teng Junze pulled Fan Mengmeng behind him and watched the changes around him vigilantly.

Several sharp arrows suddenly shot out from the walls on both sides of the passage.

Teng Junze was quick-witted and swift-handed, swinging his sword to block the sharp arrow shot at Fan Mengmeng, but a deep wound was left on his arm.

"Hiss—" He took a breath and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Teng Junze!" Fan Mengmeng exclaimed and hurried to check his injuries.

"How are you?" Her voice trembled slightly.

"I'm fine." Teng Junze endured the pain, his face pale.

"We must find a way out as soon as possible."

The sounds of mechanisms being activated came one after another, and various traps emerged one after another.

Teng Junze protected Fan Mengmeng behind him, and with his extraordinary skills and keen observation, he resolved crises time and time again.

However, the mechanisms in the ruins seemed endless, becoming increasingly complex and dangerous.

Teng Junze's physical strength gradually became exhausted and his movements began to become slow.

At this moment, a huge stone slab fell from the sky, about to crush them into meat patties...

Teng Junze pushed Fan Mengmeng away suddenly, but was scratched by the edge of the stone slab. He staggered a few steps and knelt on one knee.

"Teng Junze!" Fan Mengmeng rushed to his side in fear, "How are you?"

Teng Junze shook his head, gritted his teeth, and tried hard to stand up.

Suddenly, his eyes focused on a stone pillar deep in the ruins.

"There..." He pointed at the stone pillar, his voice hoarse, "It seems... there is something..."

Fan Mengmeng looked in the direction of Teng Junze's finger. The stone pillar was slightly different from the other ones. The runes carved on it were more complicated and flashed with a strange light.

An inexplicable force drove her towards the stone pillar.

She reached out and gently touched the runes on the stone pillar.

In an instant, a large amount of information flooded into her mind, drowning her like a tide.

These fragments of information are disorganized and seem to be fragments of some ancient documents, recording the construction of this relic and the control methods of its mechanisms.

Fan Mengmeng's brain worked rapidly, piecing these fragments of information together.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, placed her hand on the stone pillar, and pressed several runes on the stone pillar one by one according to the pattern that emerged in her mind.

With a click, the deafening sound of the mechanisms in the ruins came to an abrupt end.

Teng Junze looked at Fan Mengmeng in surprise, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"how did you do it?"

Fan Mengmeng shook her head. She couldn't explain it clearly, but she felt that something was guiding her.

The ruins returned to peace, but an even more eerie atmosphere permeated the air.

They continued to go deeper into the ruins, but found that every step was extremely difficult, as if an invisible force was blocking their progress.

"What... is going on?" Fan Mengmeng felt it was difficult to breathe, as if a huge rock was pressing on her chest.

Teng Junze's face was solemn. He felt that a powerful force was fighting against them. This force was mysterious and strange, which made him feel a little uneasy.

"It seems that this relic is not as simple as we thought..." He gripped the sword tightly in his hand, his eyes firm, "No matter what, we must keep moving forward!" Suddenly, Teng Junze's body trembled violently, and he felt that the strength in his body was being rapidly consumed.

Fan Mengmeng looked at him in horror, "Teng Junze!"

Teng Junze clenched his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead.

"Mengmeng, you...step back..." His voice was hoarse, almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

"I want to... break through by force..." A dazzling light burst out from Teng Junze's body, and a powerful force gushed out from his body, sweeping across the entire ruins like a strong wind and huge waves.

The air exploded, and the runes on the stone pillars flashed more violently, as if responding to this powerful force.

The invisible force resisted frantically, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and was torn apart bit by bit by Teng Junze's power.

He groaned, his face turned even paler, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, but the light in his eyes became more determined.

"Break it... for me!" He roared, and his strength burst out again. The invisible force was finally completely defeated.

A golden light flashed, and a road leading to the depths of the ruins appeared in front.

Teng Junze's body shook and he almost fell down.

Fan Mengmeng quickly supported him and looked at the wound on his arm and the blood at the corner of his mouth with heartache.

"Are you okay?" She took out the ointment and bandage she carried with her and carefully bandaged his wound.

Teng Junze looked at her worried eyes and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He stroked her hair gently and smiled softly.

"Silly boy, I'm fine. This little injury is nothing." Fan Mengmeng looked at his pale face, her eyes slightly red.

"It's all my fault for being so useless. I always need you to protect me..."

Teng Junze held her in his arms and patted her back gently.

"Don't say that, you are my woman, and it is my responsibility to protect you." His voice was low and gentle, with a hint of doting.

"Besides," he paused and looked into the depths of the ruins, "haven't we found the way?" Fan Mengmeng raised her head and followed his gaze, only to see a faint light at the end of the road, as if something was calling them.

"What is that?" she murmured to herself.

A gleam of light flashed in Teng Junze's eyes.

"Maybe, that's what we have been looking for..." He took Fan Mengmeng's hand and walked towards the light with firm and powerful steps.

"Let's go and take a look together," he said.

They reached the end of the road, and the light became even brighter, illuminating the space ahead.

There, an ancient altar stood quietly, and in the center of the altar, placed a...

In the center of the altar, there is a huge egg emitting a soft glow?

Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze looked at each other, stunned for a moment.

This egg is bigger than a human head. It is crystal clear, as if carved from jade. Colorful light flows on its surface, which is magnificent.

"What is this?" Fan Mengmeng couldn't help but stretched out her hand to touch it, but was pulled back by Teng Junze.

"Be careful, this thing doesn't look simple." Teng Junze's eyes flashed with a trace of vigilance. "This light, this aura... I feel it contains powerful power."

He looked at the egg carefully and found that the eggshell was engraved with complex runes. These runes exuded an ancient and mysterious aura, which made him feel a little uneasy.

"Is this the key item we are looking for?" Fan Mengmeng asked.

Teng Junze nodded. "It's very likely. However, this egg seems to be sealed by some force. We must find a way to break the seal."

They began searching for clues around the altar, hoping to find a way to unlock the seal.

The altar is surrounded by murals that depict an ancient story: a powerful god sealed his power in an egg, waiting for the right person to unlock it.

"It seems that this egg is the power of that god." Fan Mengze said, "Only by breaking the seal can we obtain this power."

Following the clues on the murals, they found the key to unlocking the seal: a stone with a strange shape.

This stone is hidden in a secret mechanism under the altar. The method of opening the mechanism is extremely complicated. It requires pressing five runes on the altar at the same time, and the order cannot be wrong.

Teng Junze and Fan Mengmeng carefully followed the instructions on the mural and operated the mechanism step by step.

They moved extremely slowly, fearing any mistakes.

Finally, the mechanism opened, and a stone emitting a faint glow appeared in front of them.

They took the stone and placed it in a groove in the eggshell.

The moment the stone touched the eggshell, a dazzling light burst out and the entire altar shook violently.

The runes on the eggshell began to spin rapidly, and the light it emitted became stronger and stronger, as if it was going to illuminate the entire ruins.

Fan Mengmeng and Teng Junze stared at the egg closely, their hearts filled with anticipation and anxiety.

The light gradually dissipated, and the runes on the eggshell stopped rotating and returned to calm.

However, the eggshell remained intact and unchanged.

"What's going on?" Fan Mengmeng asked doubtfully, "Did we find the wrong method?"

Teng Junze shook his head. "No, I think we've already broken the seal, but..." He paused, his eyes falling on a tiny crack on the eggshell. "This egg is about to hatch..."

Fan Mengmeng followed his gaze and saw the crack as well.

The cracks grew bigger and bigger, and the eggshell began to make a crackling sound.

"It... is coming out..." Fan Mengmeng's voice trembled a little.

Suddenly, a crisp sound broke the silence, and a larger crack appeared on the eggshell.

A...claw stretched out from the crack.

"What is that?" Fan Mengmeng exclaimed and grabbed Teng Junze's arm tightly.

Teng Junze narrowed his eyes and observed the claw carefully.

"This... doesn't seem to be a bird's claw..." he said in a deep voice, "It's more like..."

"Dragon..." Fan Mengmeng muttered to herself, her eyes filled with shock and fear.

"Dragon?" Teng Junze repeated the word, and suddenly an inexplicable... excitement surged in his heart.

He stared at the egg closely, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"Let me see what you are..." He whispered, with a hint of expectation and...

greedy.
