I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

Zhaoyang Ruyue pointed at the upside-down symbol, excited as if she had discovered a new world.

"Oh my god! It's true! Looking at it from the reverse... it looks like a door! This... this is simply a stroke of genius!" Wumeng Tianlong also became excited, feeling that he was only a thin layer of window paper away from the truth.

Professor Jiang pushed his glasses up, frowning, "A door?

This...this is incredible!

The ancient Dian Kingdom actually had this kind of black technology?

"As he muttered, he flipped through the ancient book in his hand, wishing he could tear it apart.

Engineer Li was silently repairing the equipment on the side, and from time to time he looked up at everyone with a confused look on his face.

He said: You city people really know how to have fun. I am just responsible for repairing a machine, why do you have to bring up the "door"?

Reporter Zhang was originally drowsy, but when he heard the word "door", he instantly became alert, his eyes shining as if he saw the shadow of big news.

She rubbed her hands, ready to record this historic moment at any time.

The work of interpreting symbols has entered a white-hot stage.

The remaining symbols are like encrypted codes, obscure and difficult to understand, like an insurmountable wall blocking everyone's way.

Professor Jiang's face was solemn and his tone became stern, "Speed ​​up! Time waits for no one!" The pressure was like a mountain, making it hard for everyone to breathe.

Time passed minute by minute, and the only sounds in the camp were the turning of pages and the typing of keyboards.

Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong stared at the computer screen with their eyes almost popping out.

They kept trying various combinations, trying to find a breakthrough.

Finally, after countless failures, dawn appeared!

"Got it!" Zhaoyang Ruyue shouted excitedly, pointing to a symbol on the screen, "This symbol... I... I remember it! It... it represents..."

Wumeng Tianlong also added excitedly, "Yes! That's right! Combined with the previous discovery... this symbol... it... it actually is..."

The two looked at each other and said the shocking answer in unison: "The key to unlock!"

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard outside the tent, and a panting voice broke the silence in the camp: "Jiang... Professor Jiang! No... It's not good! The ruins... the ruins..."

"The ruins... the ruins over there... collapsed!" The person who came was Xiao Wang, who was in charge of patrol. His face was pale and he pointed in the direction of the ruins with his voice trembling violently.

"What?!" Professor Jiang was so frightened that he almost threw his glasses off. "They...collapsed?! What happened?!"

"I... I don't know! Just... suddenly... there was a loud rumbling sound... and then... then it collapsed! Dust was flying... It was like the end of the world!" Xiao Wang described incoherently, his terrified expression as if he was still experiencing that horrific scene.

The camp exploded instantly.

"Oh my god! No way! Such a big deal?!" Zhaoyang Ruyue exclaimed, and the excitement she had just felt disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Wumeng Tianlong was also dumbfounded. "No way? We finally found the 'key to unlock', and now... it's all over?"

Even the usually calm Engineer Li showed a worried look on his face. "This... this is no joke... the ruins collapsed... then... then our research..."

Reporter Zhang's eyes lit up, and she immediately took out her cell phone and took a lot of photos of everyone. "Big news! Absolutely big news! I'm going to be famous this time!" She was so excited that she seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and completely forgot her previous fear.

Professor Jiang took a deep breath and tried to remain calm. "Everyone, don't panic! Engineer Li, check the equipment immediately to see if it's been affected. Everyone else, come with me to the ruins to check out the situation!"

Engineer Li acted quickly and began to check the equipment.

The others also quickly packed up and prepared to leave.

After an inspection, Engineer Li said that there was no problem with the equipment and it could continue to be used.

This undoubtedly gave everyone a shot in the arm.

"Let's go! Let's take a look!" Professor Jiang waved his hand and led the way towards the ruins.

Everyone jogged along and soon arrived near the ruins.

The sight before them made them gasp.

The once magnificent ruins of the ancient Dian Kingdom are now only a pile of ruins, covered in dust and in a mess.

"This...this is too tragic..." Zhaoyang Ruyue murmured to herself.

"It's not collapsed, it's... it's cracked..." Wumeng Tianlong pointed at a huge crack in the center of the ruins, his voice trembling.

The crack was bottomless, like the gate to hell, emitting a creepy chill.

"This...what is going on..." Professor Jiang's face was solemn and his brows were furrowed.

At this moment, a low humming sound came from deep within the ruins, and the ground began to shake slightly...

"Uh...does anyone feel...a little cold?" Engineer Li rubbed his hands and said.

Reporter Zhang clutched his phone tightly, his face pale and trembling as he said, "I...I think...we should just go back first..."

"No... We can't go back now!" Professor Jiang said firmly, "We must find out... what exactly is going on!"

Li Gong took a deep breath and volunteered, "Professor Jiang, let's go down and take a look! After all... after all, I am a man..."

Everyone looked at each other and saw anxiety and fear in each other's eyes, but more of it was determination and courage.

"Okay! Let's go together!" Professor Jiang nodded and led the way towards the huge crack...

At this moment, reporter Zhang suddenly cried out, "Ouch!"...

Reporter Zhang's exclamation broke the tense atmosphere.

Everyone looked back and saw her holding her ankle with a painful expression on her face.

"I twisted my foot..." Reporter Zhang's voice was filled with tears.

"Oh my god! You failed at the crucial moment!" Zhaoyang Ruyue couldn't help but complain, "Reporter sister, you are so unreliable!"

Professor Jiang was also somewhat helpless, "Xiao Zhang, can you still leave?"

Reporter Zhang tried to stand up, but a sharp pain in her ankle forced her to give up.

"No...I can't leave..."

This is really like adding insult to injury!

We were already facing huge danger, and now there is another injured person. It's really a headache.

"Let me carry you on my back." Wumeng Tianlong said, squatting down. "Come on up, comrade reporter."

"Ah? This...this is so embarrassing..." Reporter Zhang felt a little embarrassed.

"Stop wasting time and hurry up!" Zhaoyang Ruyue urged, "Now is not the time to be pretentious!"

Wumeng Tianlong carried reporter Zhang on his back and continued walking towards the crack.

Although he was carrying someone on his back, his steps were still steady and his eyes were sharp as he observed the surrounding situation.

"Tianlong, can you still hold on?" Zhaoyang Ruyue asked with concern.

"Don't worry, it's a piece of cake!" Wu Meng Tianlong replied easily, "This little weight is nothing to me. I used to carry gas tanks!"

Zhaoyang Ruyue was amused by him, "You are really good at bragging!"

Although she said this, Zhaoyang Ruyue's heart was full of gratitude.

In the critical moment, the sense of responsibility and commitment shown by Wumeng Tianlong made her feel extremely at ease.

With the assistance of Wumeng Tianlong, Zhaoyang Ruyue continued to interpret the symbols.

As they deciphered the symbols, they discovered they seemed to be telling an ancient story, a story about the rise and fall of the ancient Dian Kingdom...

"Wait... this symbol..." Zhaoyang Ruyue pointed at a strange symbol and said, "I think I've seen it somewhere..."

At this moment, Wumeng Tianlong suddenly stopped and his face became solemn.

"Shh...did you hear anything?"

Everyone held their breath and listened carefully… “Boom… Boom… Boom…” A dull and powerful sound came from deep within the crack, like… a heartbeat…

"Boom...Boom...Boom..." The sound became clearer and more rapid, as if a giant was waking up from his sleep, bringing with it a suffocating feeling of oppression.

"Oh my god, what's that noise? Could it be an earthquake?" Zhaoyang Ruyue asked nervously, subconsciously tightening the tools in her hands.

Professor Jiang frowned and listened carefully to the source of the sound.

"It's not like an earthquake... This sound... is more like... a heartbeat..."

Heartbeat?

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Where could the heartbeat come from in this remote place?

Could it be some kind of wild beast?

"Don't scare yourself!" Wu Meng Tianlong tried to remain calm, but the cold sweat on his back revealed his nervousness. "Maybe it's the sound of underground water veins flowing..."

Although he said this, Wumeng Tianlong was not sure in his heart.

This sound is so strange, it doesn't sound like a natural phenomenon at all, but more like some kind of... living thing...

Engineer Li took out the detector tremblingly, but the values ​​displayed on the screen showed no abnormalities.

"No... no seismic waves... no other abnormal energy reactions..."

What exactly is going on?

Zhaoyang Ruyue took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

"Don't worry about it! Let's finish deciphering the symbols first!"

Time is running out and she must race against time!

As the interpretation deepened, Zhaoyang Ruyue discovered that these symbols were not simple written records, but a graphic combination similar to a code. Each symbol represented a different meaning, and when combined together they formed a complete message.

"Look! I think I've found a pattern!" Zhaoyang Ruyue's tone was filled with excitement. "These symbols... they... they point to..."

At this moment, the ground suddenly shook violently!

“Boom—boom—boom—” The heartbeat became more violent, as if it was going to break the eardrum!

"Oh no! It's going to collapse!" Professor Jiang shouted, "Quick! Get out of here!"

Wumeng Tianlong carried reporter Zhang on his back and ran towards the exit. "Hurry up and catch up!"

However, just as they were about to reach the exit, Zhaoyang Ruyue suddenly stopped.

"Wait! There's one last symbol missing... I... I know where it is..."

"Yueyue! Don't be silly! Go away!" Wumeng Tianlong shouted anxiously.

Zhaoyang Ruyue seemed to be possessed, staring intently at the last symbol on the stone wall, muttering to herself: "Just a little bit... just a little bit..."

Suddenly, she raised her head, pointed at an inconspicuous corner of the stone wall, and shouted excitedly: "Found it! This is it!"

Before he finished speaking, the entire ruins began to shake violently, and huge rocks fell from the stone wall above...

"Yueyue!" Wumeng Tianlong shouted in horror...
