My carefree life in space

Chapter 187 The entrance to the ruins has been opened

Those inside the formation quickly discovered that the space they were in had returned to normal, the distorted scene had disappeared, and the murmurs or roars were no longer in their ears.

"What happened? How did that strange phenomenon suddenly disappear?"

"Isn't this better? If we were to launch a few more attacks like we did just now, we wouldn't be the ones who benefit."

"Of course I know, but I'm just afraid this situation is only temporary, what if something else happens next..."

"Pah, pah, pah, if you can't speak properly, then shut up. We don't want to hear it."

"Do you think it's caused by the strange phenomenon overhead? Could it be that someone has discovered the secret of this place?"

The crowd buzzed with discussion, speculating whether the sudden phenomenon was temporary or permanent.

Mo Ze knew that the strange phenomenon above his head was caused by Lin Shushu. Shushu must have found a way to break the formation, and the people outside would be coming in soon.

He guessed right.

Outside the formation, the crowd, drawn by the strange phenomenon, gathered below and looked up. Before they could figure out what it was, they discovered that the rising mist had dissipated, and everything around them was clearly visible.

To their surprise, a road suddenly appeared before them, leading directly to the direction in which the vanguard had disappeared.

As the first person stepped forward, more and more people quickly followed. The ruins were right before their eyes; what was there to hesitate about? Besides, the vanguard team included their family and friends, and it was impossible to let them face the unknown risks alone.

The members of the Blazing Fire Mercenary Group were also preparing to set off. Lisa looked around but did not see Lin Shushu.

"Hey! Shushu was just here a moment ago, how come she suddenly disappeared? Have you seen her?"

The others shook their heads; they had been so focused on the strange phenomenon that they hadn't noticed when the person had left. Just as everyone was about to go and search for her, Lin Shushu returned.

"Shushu, you're back! We were just about to look for you. Everyone's gone into the ruins, so let's hurry in too, so we can meet up with my brother and the others sooner." As soon as she saw Lin Shushu, Lisa couldn't wait to set off.

Lin Shushu didn't say where she had just gone, and no one asked, much less associated the strange phenomenon with her.

They entered through the entrance of the formation and encountered no danger along the way. They quickly reunited with the vanguard team, partly because the vanguard team had deliberately waited there.

Now that everyone has arrived, there is no longer any need for the vanguard team, and everyone returns to their respective groups.

Because of Mo Ze's previous performance, their group received a lot of attention, which left Ruixia and the others feeling completely bewildered.

Kyle told his teammates about what they had encountered, and everyone looked at Moze with even more admiration, feeling fortunate that Moze had chosen them as his team.

After a difficult journey, the group arrived at a towering stone gate. The gate was ancient and heavy, covered with strange runes and radiating a mysterious light.

"This must be the entrance to the ruins, right?" someone in the crowd said. No one objected; everyone had witnessed the sight before them. The area they had traversed before was merely the outer perimeter of the ruins.

People rushed forward to watch, and in the crowded throng, one person was accidentally pushed against the wall next to the stone gate.

The expected pain did not come; instead, a rebounding force shook him away. Curious, the man poked at the wall with his finger, and a hole instantly appeared in the wall. As soon as his finger left, the hole returned to its original state.

"Come quick, everyone! This wall is springy!" the man shouted excitedly.

Upon hearing this, many people who were studying the stone gate rushed over to see what was happening. After experiencing it themselves, everyone wore expressions of disbelief. The force they exerted on the wall was matched by the force the wall rebounded back at them.

Only Lin Shushu and Mo Ze knew that this wasn't an ordinary wall, but a kind of barrier. Barriers are divided into defensive and offensive types, and this one was clearly the former; otherwise, these people who were skilled in using it would have encountered who-knows-what kind of attacks!

Through the barrier, one could see shadowy figures inside, but no matter how closely one looked, they couldn't make out the details. Everything seemed within reach, yet also far away.

At the stone gate, after careful observation, everyone silently retreated, helpless and having no way to open it.

Ye Hongxuan gathered with members of various prominent families to exchange ideas. Although their family traditions had been broken, they still possessed more knowledge than others. However, after combining information from several families, they still had no clue.

As if struck by a thought, Ye Hongxuan's gaze searched through the crowd and quickly found Mo Ze's figure. At that moment, a girl was standing next to him, who also appeared to be from the Jin Yuan Empire.

Ye Hongxuan strode forward, "Does Your Excellency have a way to break through the stone gate?" He had only held onto a sliver of hope, but then he saw Mo Ze leading the girl beside him straight toward the stone gate.

Lin Shushu leaned closer to the stone door, examining it closely. The runes on the door seemed to contain some kind of mysterious power, faintly resonating with the spiritual energy within her. Mo Ze, on the other hand, vigilantly watched her every move, ready to shield her from any unknown dangers at any moment.

Their actions attracted the attention of those around them.

"What are these two people from the Jin Yuan Empire doing? Do they think they can open the stone door?"

"How is that possible? Even our empire's third prince couldn't open it. Do the people of the Jin Yuan Empire have that ability?"

"Exactly! This is a relic of our Olay Empire. We can't even open it, so what right do they have?"

"Let's wait and see. What if they really have a way? Have you forgotten that the man was the one who broke the arrow?"

At this moment, Lin Shushu ignored the discussions outside and was immersed in the world of these runes.

She closed her eyes, slowly raised her hands and placed them on the stone door. The spiritual energy in her body flowed down her arms to the stone door, and the resonance with the runes became stronger.

Suddenly, the runes on the stone gate flashed with dazzling light, which spread along Lin Shushu's arm to her entire body.

Upon seeing this, everyone gasped in surprise.

Mo Ze nervously took a step closer, only to find that the light was not malicious.

Suddenly, Lin Shushu opened her eyes and began chanting incantations. As if she understood her words, the runes slowly moved and rearranged themselves.

As the last rune returned to its place, the stone door made a dull thud and then slowly opened.

A moment of silence fell, followed by enthusiastic applause and cheers. At this moment, the way everyone looked at Lin Shushu was no longer contempt and indifference, but filled with awe and gratitude.

Ye Hongxuan stepped forward, his mind filled with doubt and shock, but he didn't show it. He sincerely said, "How should I address you, Miss? Thank you for opening this stone door for us."

Lin Shushu smiled slightly, exchanged a glance with Mo Ze, and then stepped aside. They weren't in a hurry to go in; besides, the first person to go in might not necessarily have the advantage.

Ye Hongxuan was pleased with their tact and took the lead in entering the stone gate. The others, as if waking from a dream, quickly followed behind, their hearts filled with anticipation for the unknown exploration.

The Fiery Mercenary Group stayed behind. Kyle and the others were still immersed in the scene they had just witnessed. They had never expected that Lin Shushu, who usually had a low profile, would have such an unknown ability.
