Chapter 297 The Crisis and Breakthrough of the Time Rift
The mysterious creatures' attacks were swift and unpredictable. The team members, hampered by the time manipulation, became sluggish and disorganized. Lin Yu, enduring the dizziness from the time reversal, shouted, "Maintain formation! Don't panic! Pay attention to their attack rhythm!" He quickly observed the creatures' movements and noticed that their bodies would briefly flash with intense light before each time they used their time manipulation skills.
Lin Yu concentrated, aiming at a mysterious creature about to attack, and fired the instant its bright light flashed. The energy beam hit its mark precisely, and the creature let out a sharp cry, its body momentarily stunned. Encouraged, the team members followed Lin Yu's method and began to counterattack rhythmically. However, the mysterious creatures were numerous and extremely familiar with the mountain range's environment, constantly using the terrain to launch surprise attacks.
In the fierce firefight, one of the team members was accidentally caught in a temporal turbulence, his body instantly becoming ethereal, as if he might disappear from this spacetime at any moment. Lin Yu was frantic with worry. Ignoring the danger, he rushed towards the team member, trying to grab him. Just as he was about to touch the team member, a powerful force of time repelled him.
At this moment, Ellie contacted Lin Yu through the communication device: "We analyzed the combat data you sent and found that the mysterious creature's ability to manipulate time is related to the energy of the time crystal. You can try to use the surrounding time crystals to create a time interference field, which may be able to break their skills."
Lin Yu quickly organized his team to collect the scattered small time crystals and deploy them around the defensive position. Using the spaceship's energy devices, the team activated the time crystals, creating a time interference field that flickered with blue light. After the mysterious creature rushed into the interference field, its ability to manipulate time was severely hampered, its movements became sluggish, and its attack rhythm was disrupted.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the team launched a counterattack, their energy beams continuously striking the mysterious creatures. After a fierce battle, the creatures were finally overwhelmed and retreated into the depths of the mountains. Without taking a break, Lin Yu immediately led his team towards the time rift.
Just as the time rift was about to close again, Lin Yu seized the opportunity and shouted, "Charge!" Led by him, the team members sprinted towards the rift with all their might. At the very moment the rift was about to close, they successfully passed through and entered the other side of the mountain range.
Before them lay a vast cavern, its interior bathed in a soft blue light. Countless time crystals hung from the ceiling, resembling a glittering starry sky. In the center of the cavern floated a gem radiating golden light—the Time Stone they had been searching for.
Lin Yu and his team cautiously approached the Time Stone, afraid of triggering new traps. Just as they were about to touch the stone, the cave floor suddenly shook, and cracks rapidly spread. Then, a gigantic Time Guardian burst forth from the ground.
This guardian was as large as a mountain, its entire body composed of hard time crystals. Its eyes flashed red, radiating a powerful sense of oppression. The Time Guardian opened its massive maw and let out a roar, unleashing a powerful wave of time energy that spread outwards like a shockwave, forcing the team members to retreat.
Lin Yu realized that this Time Guardian was the last line of defense protecting the Time Gem. He quickly adjusted his tactics, ordering his team to spread out and attack the Time Guardian from different directions, searching for its weaknesses. Following his instructions, the team members continuously fired energy beams at the Time Guardian, but these attacks struck its hard shell, only producing sparks.
During the fierce battle, Lin Yu discovered that the Time Guardian's leg joints were its weakest point. He concentrated his firepower on this area and, after several shots, finally succeeded in hitting it. A crack appeared in the Time Guardian's leg, and its movements became sluggish.
The team seized the opportunity and intensified their attack. With everyone working together, the crack in the Time Guardian grew wider and wider, until it finally collapsed with a crash.
Lin Yu let out a long sigh and carefully picked up the Time Stone. The moment he grasped the stone, a powerful yet gentle energy surged into his body, and he felt the mysteries of time flowing through his heart.
Meanwhile, Ellie and Li Ming's teams also encountered numerous difficulties in their respective explorations. Ellie's team faced the predicament of spatial distortion in the southern region, while Li Ming's team encountered a powerful energy storm in the eastern region. Could they overcome these difficulties like Lin Yu and find the other two gems? After collecting all three gems, what dangers would be hidden in the passage to the "Heart of Origin"? Everything was shrouded in suspense.
