I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

Chapter 8: Troubles in a Strange World: A Journey of Exploration into a Strange Space

After the bright light, the world seemed to be muted, leaving only the buzzing tinnitus.

When everyone gradually regained their vision, they found that the surrounding environment had changed drastically.

The dim light barely outlined the strange shape, and the air was filled with a pungent odor, like stinky tofu that had been fermented for three months mixed with the smell of something burnt, which made people's heads hurt.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Professor Jiang covered his nose and coughed violently. "What the hell is this place? The air quality is terrible! It's even more irritating than the smog in the capital!"

"Oh my god! This smell! It's like a biological weapon!" Reporter Zhang pinched his nose, his face uglier than someone who'd been eating instant noodles for three months. "I'm suffocating! I want to go home!"

Wumeng Tianlong couldn't help but complain: "This smell is amazing! It's even more sour than my socks that haven't been washed for a month!" As he said that, he subconsciously smelled his feet. Fortunately, the difference was still very obvious.

"It seems... it seems... it's the smell of sulfur..." Engineer Li added weakly, his voice as small as a mosquito's hum.

Zhaoyang Ruyue suppressed her nausea and looked around. She found that the ground here was bumpy and covered with strange plants, as if she had arrived on an alien planet.

In the dim light, the shadows of these plants are distorted, like monsters with bared fangs and claws, which is creepy.

"This...this place is too weird..." Zhaoyang Ruyue's voice trembled a little, "We...could we have traveled through time?"

Just when everyone was about to be driven crazy by this eerie atmosphere, reporter Zhang suddenly pulled out a few bags from her backpack, which was comparable to Doraemon's pocket. "Luckily, I brought a mask and a high-intensity flashlight! You still have to rely on me in the critical moment!"

Everyone seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and took the masks and flashlights.

After putting on a mask, the world instantly becomes a lot quieter. Although you can still smell a slight stench, at least it won’t suffocate you.

After turning on the high-intensity flashlight, the surrounding environment became much clearer, and those strange-shaped plants did not seem so scary anymore.

"Reporter Zhang, you're amazing!" Wu Meng Tianlong couldn't help but give a thumbs-up. "What other treasures do you have in your backpack? Take them out and blind my dog ​​eyes!"

"Hey, not much, just some daily necessities..." Reporter Zhang raised her chin proudly, but suddenly, her smile froze on her face. "Wait... my phone... why is there no signal?!"

Zhaoyang Ruyue's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition came to her mind... She subconsciously grabbed Wumeng Tianlong's arm.

Zhaoyang Ruyue also quickly took out her cell phone, and sure enough, there was no signal at all.

Even the usually calm Professor Jiang was panicking. "What...what is going on? Are we...are we trapped here?"

"Calm down, calm down!" Wumeng Tianlong pretended to be calm and patted Professor Jiang on the shoulder. "It's just a lack of signal, no big deal! Maybe we just strayed into a signal blind spot. Come on, everyone, hold hands, don't get separated, let's find a way out together!"

However, Wumeng Tianlong's words did not provide any comfort, but instead made the atmosphere even more tense.

Because they found that an invisible gravitational force was pulling them in different directions.

"Holy crap! What's going on!" Wumeng Tianlong felt like a kite being pulled by a kite string, and could be blown into the sky at any moment. "Could this be the legendary ghost wall?"

"What the hell! It must be some kind of special magnetic field!" Professor Jiang struggled to steady himself, attempting to explain it all scientifically. "Everyone, don't panic! Focus and stay as close together as possible!"

However, this force grew stronger and stronger, and everyone was manipulated by an invisible force like puppets, unable to control their own actions at all.

"Hold on! Don't let go!" Wumeng Tianlong grabbed Zhaoyang Ruyue's hand tightly, feeling that his arm was about to be torn off.

At this moment, Wumeng Tianlong suddenly had an idea: "Wait! This force... seems... to have a pattern!" He narrowed his eyes, carefully observing the surrounding environment and the direction in which everyone was being pulled. "Everyone, listen to me! Move in the direction I say! Three steps to the left front! Two steps to the right back! One step forward!"

Everyone followed Wumeng Tianlong's instructions half-believing and half-doubting, and something magical happened!

The pulling force actually weakened!

"It works! Keep going!" Wumeng Tianlong shouted excitedly, "Two steps forward to the left! One step forward to the right! One step back!"

In this way, under the command of Wumeng Tianlong, everyone was like dancing some strange dance, resisting the pull of gravity step by step, and gradually approaching each other.

"Huh...finally...safe..." Engineer Li slumped on the ground, breathing heavily.

"Don't be too happy too soon..." Zhaoyang Ruyue pointed ahead, her voice trembling, "Look..."

Wumeng Tianlong looked in the direction of Zhaoyang Ruyue's finger, his face instantly turning pale: "I... I take back what I said..."

I saw that in the originally empty space, a dense network of lightning appeared at some point. The blue and purple electric currents were running around like crazy, crackling, and the air was filled with a burnt smell.

"Holy crap! What the hell is this?!" Wumeng Tianlong jumped three feet high in fear, almost losing his soul. "This place is too exciting! It's even more exciting than the rapids at Disneyland!"

"What the hell is this exciting! Get out of the way!" Professor Jiang grabbed the Wumeng Tianlong and narrowly avoided a bolt of lightning. "This thing is no joke! If you get shocked, you'll probably have to go straight to see Marx!"

The team members immediately scattered and fled in all directions, and the scene was in chaos for a while.

Reporter Zhang was so frightened that his face turned pale. He hugged Engineer Li's arm tightly and trembled: "Li... Engineer Li... I... I'm so scared..."

Although Mr. Li was also afraid, he pretended to be calm and comforted reporter Zhang: "Don't be afraid... don't be afraid... I'm here..." To be honest, he was so panicked that his calves were shaking.

At this moment, Zhaoyang Ruyue keenly discovered that these electric currents did not seem to be running randomly, they always deliberately avoided certain specific areas.

"Everyone, look!" Zhaoyang Ruyue pointed to a relatively calm area. "It seems like the electric current won't go near there!"

Everyone looked in the direction of Zhaoyang Ruyue's finger and found that those areas seemed to be protected by some force, and the electric current would automatically change direction when approached.

"Awesome! Ruyue, you're like Sherlock Holmes reincarnated!" Wumeng Tianlong shouted excitedly, "Quick! Everyone, get to those safe areas!"

Under the leadership of Zhaoyang Ruyue, everyone carefully moved to a safe area and finally avoided the electric current attack.

"Huh... finally... I saved my life..." Professor Jiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear.

"Wait..." Zhaoyang Ruyue suddenly pointed at a huge shadow not far away and said in a low voice, "What is that..."

Wumeng Tianlong looked in the direction of Zhaoyang Ruyue's finger, and his pupils suddenly shrank: "I... I seem to... see..."

Wumeng Tianlong swallowed his saliva, his voice trembling like a sieve, "I... I seem to... see a... giant... game console..."

Everyone looked closely and saw that it was indeed the case!

In the shadows not far away, a huge control console stood proudly, flashing colorful lights and covered with all kinds of strange-shaped buttons and symbols, just like a scene from a science fiction movie.

"Oh my god! This is so cool!" Wumeng Tianlong instantly forgot his previous fear, his eyes shining like a child who had discovered a new toy. "Could this be an alien base? Are we about to embark on an interstellar journey?"

"Travel through time!" Professor Jiang knocked Wumeng Tianlong on the head in annoyance. "Watch less science fiction movies! This thing is probably some ancient high-tech device!"

Reporter Zhang also came over, examining the control panel curiously, muttering to himself, "If we filmed this, it would definitely make the headlines! Traffic password! Traffic password!"

Engineer Li was completely confused and had no idea what was going on. He could only stand there stupidly like a wooden stake.

Zhaoyang Ruyue carefully observed the symbols on the console with a frown. She had never seen these symbols before, but she felt vaguely familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere.

"These symbols...seem...I've seen them somewhere..." she muttered to herself.

"Don't worry about the symbols! Let's try to see if we can start this thing first!" Wumeng Tianlong couldn't wait to get started, rubbing his hands and eager to try.

"Wait!" Zhaoyang Ruyue grabbed Wumeng Tianlong, "Be careful, there's danger!"

"What are you afraid of! Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk! Take a chance and the bicycle can turn into a motorcycle!" Wumeng Tianlong shook off Zhaoyang Ruyue's hand and walked straight to the control console.

"Hey! You kid..." Before Professor Jiang finished speaking, Wumeng Tianlong had already reached out for the largest red button on the console.

"Wait!" Zhaoyang Ruyue shouted, but it was too late...

Wumeng Tianlong chuckled and pressed the red button hard... The console suddenly vibrated violently, emitting a shrill alarm, and the lights flashed even more crazily. Everyone stepped back in fear.

"Fuck! You're in trouble!" Professor Jiang pointed at Wumeng Tianlong, fuming with anger.

Wumeng Tianlong spread his hands innocently, "I... I just pressed it..."

Suddenly, all the lights went out, the console was plunged into darkness, and it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"It's over..." Zhaoyang Ruyue whispered, "This time...it's really...over..."

At this moment, a cold voice sounded in the darkness... "You... disturbed my... sleep..."
