From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 556: The Mo Family's New Journey: Shocking Treasure

The ball of light slowly dissipated, revealing not Mo Han's father, but a towering metal gate engraved with complex patterns and flashing with a faint blue light.

Around the gate, countless paralyzed mechanical creatures are piled up, like sleeping steel monsters.

There was a strange energy fluctuation in the air, which made Wen Nuan feel a little palpitated.

"Where exactly is this place?" Wen Nuan murmured to herself, her eyes sweeping over the strange scene around her.

"Detectors indicate the presence of a powerful energy source here," a soldier reported. "The energy intensity far exceeds our previous understanding."

A gleam of light flashed in Mo Han's eyes. He took out an ancient metal compass from his arms. The needle on the compass spun wildly and finally pointed to the metal gate.

"According to the ancient records of our family, this energy fluctuation indicates the existence of an incredible treasure."

When everyone in the Mo family heard this, excitement shone in their eyes.

Isn't the purpose of their trip to find the legendary treasure?

"Young master, what should we do now?" asked a soldier.

Mo Han pondered for a moment and said, "The layout of this space station is chaotic, and the exact location of the energy source is difficult to determine. However, I can use the detection techniques inherited from my family to roughly locate its direction."

As he spoke, Mo Han closed his eyes, formed seals with his hands, and muttered something.

The ancient spell echoed in the space station, and the needle on the compass began to stabilize, eventually pointing to the left side of the metal gate.

"It's right there!" Mo Han opened his eyes, with a confident light flashing in his eyes.

Everyone in the Mo family looked at him with admiration. He was indeed worthy of being the young master of the Mo family. He really had extraordinary qualities.

Mo Han led everyone towards the left side of the metal gate. Along the way, they carefully avoided the paralyzed mechanical creatures, for fear of alarming some unknown existence.

After walking for about half an hour, they came to a smooth metal wall.

"The energy source is behind this wall." Mo Han said confidently.

"But there is no entrance to this wall." A soldier said in confusion.

Mo Han's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a mysterious smile.

"If there is no entrance, then create one." He drew a sharp energy dagger from his waist and stabbed it fiercely at the metal wall.

"Stop!" Wen Nuan suddenly shouted.

An inexplicable uneasiness surged in her heart, making her feel that things were not that simple.

The warm shout made Mo Han stop suddenly, and the energy dagger stopped just a few centimeters away from the metal wall.

"What's wrong?" He looked at Wen Nuan puzzledly.

Wen Nuan quickly walked to the metal wall and reached out to gently touch the cold metal surface.

A strange energy wave came from her fingertips, making her feel a palpitation.

"I think there might be danger behind this wall." She said in a deep voice.

Mo Han frowned. "Danger? What danger?"

Wen Nuan shook her head. "I don't know either. It's just a hunch."

"Intuition?" Mo Han was a little skeptical, but he still retracted the energy dagger. "Since you say so, let's wait and see."

As soon as he finished speaking, the metal wall suddenly made a buzzing sound, and a dazzling blue light emanated from the surface of the wall, forming a translucent force field that completely enveloped the metal wall.

Dangerous electric currents flashed from time to time in the force field, and the air was filled with a burnt smell.

"This is... an energy field!" a soldier exclaimed. "This force field is extremely strong. We can't get close at all!"

Mo Han's face changed. He didn't expect that there was such a dangerous trap hidden behind this wall.

He stretched out his hand tentatively and approached the force field. As soon as his fingertips touched the edge of the force field, he was hit by a powerful electric current, which paralyzed his whole body and forced him to take a few steps back.

"It seems that we have to think of other ways." Mo Han rubbed his numb fingers and frowned.

However, Wen Nuan did not wait for Mo Han to come up with a solution.

She walked straight towards the force field, her eyes fixed on the flashing electricity in the force field, as if looking for something.

"Wu Nuan! What are you doing? Come back quickly!" Mo Han shouted hurriedly when he saw this.

Wen Nuan ignored Mo Han's calls. She continued to approach the force field and stopped a few centimeters away from the edge.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, then suddenly opened her eyes with a gleam of light in her eyes.

She quickly stretched out her hand and moved her fingers rapidly within the force field, as if she were playing a complex piano piece.

"What is she doing?" a soldier asked in confusion.

"Shh! Don't disturb her!" Mo Han said in a deep voice. He vaguely felt that Wen Nuan seemed to have found a breakthrough.

Wen Nuan's movements became faster and faster, and his fingertips passed through the force field, causing waves of subtle energy fluctuations.

Suddenly, she stopped, her finger resting on a specific spot on the force field.

"It's here!" Wen Nuan whispered, then pressed her finger down suddenly.

A small dent appeared in the force field where Wen Nuan's fingers pressed, and then the dent quickly expanded to form a fist-sized hole.

"She...she actually found the weak point of the force field!" a soldier exclaimed.

A hint of surprise flashed in Mo Han's eyes. He didn't expect that Wen Nuan actually found a breakthrough.

"Let's go!" Wen Nuan retracted her finger and walked towards the cave entrance first.

"Wait!" Mo Han grabbed Wen Nuan and said, "Let me go in first to make sure it's safe."

"No need," Wen Nuan shook her head, "I have a feeling that there's something inside..."

Before she could finish her words, the hole suddenly widened, and a powerful suction force sucked the two of them in...

A dazzling white light flashed, and Wen Nuan and Mo Han were sucked into the cave, finding themselves in a huge metal space.

In the center of the space, a huge crystal ball is suspended, emitting a soft light, illuminating the entire space.

Below the crystal ball is a complex metal platform engraved with countless mysterious runes.

The Mo family's technicians followed closely behind, and using the weak point discovered by Wen Nuan, they successfully cracked part of the force field and opened up a passage that was barely big enough for one person to pass through.

Everyone cheered, thinking that the treasure was within their reach.

However, at the moment the passage was fully opened, a group of small mechanical guards suddenly emerged from the passage.

These mechanical guards were only the size of a palm, but they were extremely fast and had sharp attacks. They pounced towards the Mo family like a swarm of enraged bees.

The Mo family warriors reacted quickly, drawing their energy weapons and engaging in a fierce battle with the mechanical guards.

The metal space was suddenly filled with energy beams and the roar of metal collisions.

At the beginning, due to the large number of mechanical guards and their flexible and varied attack methods, the Mo family warriors were somewhat passive and gradually lost.

Upon seeing this, Mo Han immediately and calmly directed everyone to change their battle formation, switching from the original dispersed attack to concentrated firepower, aiming to defeat them one by one.

Under Mo Han's command, the Mo family warriors began to gradually turn the situation around.

They cooperated well and covered each other. The energy beams intertwined into a dense firepower network, shooting down the mechanical guards one by one.

"Watch out to the left! They're trying to make a detour and outflank us!" Wen Nuan suddenly reminded loudly.

She keenly noticed that some of the mechanical guards were trying to go around the flanks of the Mo family warriors and attack.

The Mo family warriors immediately adjusted their formation, concentrated their firepower on the left side, and successfully prevented the mechanical guards from encircling them.

The battle lasted for nearly an hour, and the number of mechanical guards became fewer and fewer. Finally, the last mechanical guard was shot down by Mo Han.

"Huh..." The Mo family warriors breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

"It seems that we have successfully passed the first level." Mo Han said lightly as he looked at the mechanical wreckage all over the ground.

Suddenly, the crystal ball on the metal platform shone brightly, and a beam of light shot out from the crystal ball, shining on a groove in the center of the metal platform.

With a "click", the groove slowly opened, revealing a... black metal box.

"Could this be..." A glimmer of excitement flashed in Mo Han's eyes, and he took a step forward and walked towards the metal platform.

"Be careful!" Wen Nuan suddenly shouted. She felt a strong sense of unease...

Every time Mo Han fired a shot, he would subconsciously glance towards the safe area where Wen Nuan was, with a barely perceptible trace of concern in his eyes.

Wen Nuan was not idle either. She stared at Mo Han's figure, her hands clenched into fists, her knuckles turning white from the force, as if she was bearing the pressure of the battle for him.

Every time the mechanical guard approached Mo Han, her heart would skip a beat.

The battle entered a white-hot stage, and the small mechanical guards rushed towards the Mo family members like a swarm of steel bees that were not afraid of their lives.

Mo Han was agile, and the energy gun seemed to have life in his hands, accurately shooting down one mechanical guard after another.

He calmly commanded the crowd, sometimes advancing, sometimes retreating, attacking and defending in an orderly manner, showing his great demeanor.

Finally, the last mechanical guard was turned into a pile of scrap metal by the impact of the energy beam.

Everyone in the Mo family finally breathed a sigh of relief. The metal space was filled with gunpowder smoke and the smell of burnt metal.

"It seems that we have passed the first level." Mo Han put away the energy gun, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes turned to Wen Nuan immediately to confirm her safety.

However, before everyone could celebrate their victory, the crystal ball on the metal platform suddenly shone brightly, and a dazzling beam of light shot out, shining on a groove in the center of the platform.

With a light "click" sound, the groove slowly opened, revealing a black metal box.

"Be careful!" Alarm bells rang in Wen Nuan's heart. She always felt that things were not that simple.

Mo Han walked to the metal box and reached out to take it.

At this moment, the metal platform suddenly made a buzzing sound, and a huge combination lock rose from the platform, blocking the metal box.

The combination lock was engraved with ancient and mysterious runes, emitting a faint blue light, as if silently mocking their ignorance.

Everyone in the Mo family gathered in front of the combination lock, and there was silence for a moment.

"This..." Mo Han frowned, reached out and touched the rune on the combination lock, and felt a cold touch.

Wen Nuan walked over to Mo Han and carefully observed the runes on the combination lock. Suddenly, she whispered, "I seem to have seen these runes somewhere..."
