I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

The dazzling light gradually faded away, but the scene before everyone made them gasp.

After the boulder fell, there was no dust flying as expected, but instead a passage leading to the depths of the ruins appeared.

At the end of the passage, a huge stone door stands tall, like a sleeping giant, blocking all attempts to explore.

The surface of the stone gate is as smooth as a mirror, without any patterns or gaps, as if it were formed naturally.

"Oh my god! This door is so awesome! It's seamless!" Wumeng Tianlong couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that there was such a miraculous thing in the world.

Reporter Zhang was also extremely excited. He held up his camera and took a lot of photos of the stone gate, muttering to himself, "If this could be broadcast live, it would definitely go viral! It's definitely a trending topic!"

Professor Jiang adjusted his glasses, his expression serious: "It seems that this stone door is the key to the core of the ruins."

"But...how do I open this door?" Engineer Li scratched his head, looking confused.

This stone gate looks indestructible and it probably can't be blown open even with explosives.

Zhaoyang Ruyue walked around the stone gate and observed it carefully, frowning.

"Wait... look!" She pointed to an inconspicuous spot at the bottom of the stone door. "There seem to be traces of a mechanism here!"

Everyone quickly gathered around, and sure enough, they found some tiny grooves and bumps at the bottom of the stone gate, which could easily be overlooked if you didn't look carefully.

"This...this is..." Professor Jiang's voice trembled with excitement. "This is a trace of ancient mechanical engineering!"

"Let me try!" Engineer Li volunteered. Although he was dull and honest, he had an amazing talent in mechanics.

He took out tools from his backpack and carefully began to study the mechanism on the stone door.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the air was filled with tension.

"Click!" With a slight sound, a groove at the bottom of the stone door suddenly turned.

"There's hope!" Wumeng Tianlong clenched his fists excitedly.

Fine beads of sweat oozed from Engineer Li's forehead as he operated the mechanism more attentively.

As he moved, the mechanism on the stone door began to make various subtle noises, as if the ancient machine was slowly waking up.

"Click! Click! Click!" The sound of the mechanism turning became more and more frequent, and the stone door began to vibrate slightly.

"It's about to open! It's about to open!" Reporter Zhang was so excited that he danced with joy.

At this moment, Li Gong's face suddenly changed and he shouted, "Not good!"

"Not good!" Before Mr. Li finished speaking, the walls on both sides of the stone gate suddenly cracked, and dozens of sharp spikes shot out like a rainstorm!

"Oh shit!" Wumeng Tianlong screamed, and in a flash he picked up the Luoyang shovel at hand, waving it vigorously, blocking the spikes that were shot at Professor Jiang and Zhaoyang Ruyue.

"Get out of the way! This is no joke!"

No one dared to be negligent. They all ran away in panic, hiding from the sudden "hidden weapon" in the narrow space.

The scene was chaotic at one point, comparable to a large-scale live-action version of "Escape Room".

"Ahhh! My exclusive news!" Reporter Zhang screamed as she dodged. Her bulky camera became a burden at this moment, making her movements much slower.

Professor Jiang was old, so naturally he wasn't as agile as the youngsters. He stumbled and nearly fell. Fortunately, Engineer Li was quick enough to help him up.

"Old Chiang, hold on tight!"

Although Zhaoyang Ruyue was calm, she felt somewhat overwhelmed by the intensive attacks.

She dodged a sharp spike but didn't notice a piece of gravel under her feet...

"Be careful!" Wumeng Tianlong shouted, but everything happened too fast...

Zhaoyang Ruyue slipped, screamed, and was about to fall!

At the critical moment, Wumeng Tianlong rushed forward and managed to support her.

"Are you okay?" he asked with concern.

"It's okay, thank you!" Zhaoyang Ruyue steadied herself and looked at him gratefully.

But at this moment, a scream cut through the chaotic air—"My leg! My exclusive news is about to turn into an exclusive tragedy!"

It turned out that while avoiding the spikes, reporter Zhang was tripped by the gravel on the ground and sprained his ankle. He was now holding his ankle and wailing.

The spikes are still shooting out and the situation is very critical!

"Oh my god! This is too tricky!" Wumeng Tianlong couldn't help but complain. This mechanism was too unethical.

He was about to step forward to help, but was stopped by Zhaoyang Ruyue.

"Oh my gosh!" Zhaoyang Ruyue's eyes were determined. "Protect the professor!" After that, she rushed towards reporter Zhang who was lying on the ground, regardless of the danger.

"Sister, you..." It was too late for Wumeng Tianlong to stop her, and he could only watch Zhaoyang Ruyue rush into the "hail of bullets".

Zhaoyang Ruyue was agile and moved through the gaps between the spikes as if dancing on the edge of a knife.

She helped reporter Zhang up and said, "Bear with it!" Then she half dragged and half hugged her to a relatively safe corner.

"Thank you...thank you..." Reporter Zhang grimaced in pain, but did not forget to express his gratitude.

"Don't talk yet!" Zhaoyang Ruyue briefly checked reporter Zhang's injury. "It's okay, just a sprain."

The spikes finally stopped firing, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Professor Jiang walked over to the two of them and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

"Fortunately, Professor, we are all fine." Zhaoyang Ruyue shook her head.

"This mechanism is too insidious..." Engineer Li wiped the sweat off his forehead and walked to the wall to observe it carefully. "This symbol... seems a little familiar..." He muttered as he reached out to feel the symbols on the wall. "No... No... This order..."

Engineer Li kept trying different combinations, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Suddenly, he stopped what he was doing, stared at a certain spot on the wall, and muttered to himself: "Could it be... like this?" Engineer Li's fingers jumped rapidly on the symbols on the wall, as if he was playing a thrilling piano piece.

"Bingo!" he suddenly shouted, his tone full of excitement. "It worked!"

As he pressed the button for the last time, there was a loud "boom" and the heavy stone door slowly opened. A powerful airflow gushed out from the gap in the door, making everyone's clothes rustle.

"Oh my god! The wind is so strong! It's even more powerful than my mom's lion roar!" Wumeng Tianlong said while covering his face with his hands, fearing that he would be blown into an emoticon.

"This isn't just any ordinary wind..." Professor Jiang narrowed his eyes, staring solemnly at the airflow pouring out of the crack in the door. "This feels... like some kind of energy fluctuation!"

Reporter Zhang clutched his sprained ankle, a grimace on his face. "This adventure is too exciting! I haven't even finished writing my exclusive story, and it's about to become a suicide note..."

Zhaoyang Ruyue stared at the stone gate, curiosity glittering in her eyes.

What secrets are hidden in this powerful airflow?

The stone door was fully opened, but the scene behind the door surprised everyone.

"This..." Li Gong pointed behind the door, his voice trembling, "What the hell is this?!"
