Under the orange sky, the sparse and desolate rock formations next door in the distance looked so alluring and desolate. Thinking that today was already the second day after entering the city ruins, a group of researchers still found nothing. They looked at the search ahead.

Among the experts, Yun Na couldn't help but stop and look up at this magnificent ancient city. She took a deep breath, turned on the energy detector, and then called Harold and Nicholas to follow them again.

Dozens of experts and their assistants in front were carefully avoiding the rubble falling from the building to the ground. The energy detectors in their hands kept flashing a cyan glow. Yesterday came.

One day, I failed to enter the center of the city ruins and only searched the edges. Except for the lifeless and desolate ancient city, I found no signs of life. Today's plan is to try to complete the search of the spokes of the wheel-shaped ancient city. If

If it is determined that there is no life, we will carry out the second step of the plan, using scientific instruments to conduct a holographic scan of the ancient city, and digitizing the status of the entire hundred-meter space around the ancient city. However, today's work has just begun, and no one knows what will be gained.

and chance.

"Sister Yun, have you noticed anything?" Zhuge Yi, who was also an assistant to Academician Lu Mingxuan, saw Yun Na lingering at the back of the team, so he stopped and asked.

"Ah?" Yun Na has been thinking about why this ten thousand-year-old city appeared here. At that time, human beings seemed to be still in a very primitive stage. She couldn't figure it out for a while and was a little lost. After hearing Zhuge Yi's question,

The reaction seems a bit slow.

Zhuge Yi felt strange. Sister Yun used to be very motivated, but she seemed very sluggish on Venus. Could it be that she couldn't adapt to this place, so he asked in a low voice: "Sister Yun, are you okay?"

"It's okay, how can something happen to me?" Yun Na came back to her senses at this time, knowing that she had lost her composure, she smiled quickly, and then said to Zhuge Yi as she walked: "Xiao Yi, how are you? Have you noticed anything?"

"No, nothing." Zhuge Yi replied, then approached Yun Na, pretending to chat with Yun Na casually, and then suddenly asked: "Sister Yun, are the two crystal armor men behind you masters of that sect?

Why have I never heard of an innate master who can gather energy to form a shape? He can't be a transformed person, right?"

Knowing that Zhuge Yi also knew some kung fu, Yun Na said with a smile: "They are the two apprentices of his brother Wu Ji. I don't know what kung fu he taught them. They don't even need to wear protective clothing. It's really amazing."

.”

"No way, Sister Yun! You actually know how to talk nonsense. Who doesn't know Professor Wu Ji, the famous authoritative expert in Chinese and Western medicine? When did Professor Wu Ji's elder brother suddenly appear? Isn't this too fake?" Zhuge Yi

He looked depressed. He didn't expect Sister Yun, who was always strict, to tease him, so he couldn't help but complain a few words.

"Xiaoyi, you don't believe what Sister Yun said, do you? But there's nothing you can do about it. I didn't believe Wu Ji had an older brother before, but now his brother is back, and he's also the best in the world. Look at his two

A disciple, isn't he an extremely powerful being?" Looking at Zhuge Yi, who had only been in the research institute for five years, but was often tested, Yun Na patted him on the shoulder, pretending to be a little angry and said, "I believe it now.

Right? If you don’t believe me anymore, Sister Yun will be angry.”

"Believe it, believe it, absolutely believe it." Zhuge Yi quickly expressed his stance, then turned to look at Harold and Nicholas with an envious look.

"Let's go, hurry up. Looking at you, you should just do scientific research honestly. If you have a chance in the next life, you can find a master to learn martial arts." Yun Na joked with a smile, and then floated towards her.

He walked quickly ahead. After hearing Yun Na's words, Zhuge Yi seemed a little disappointed, but he still followed quickly.

Harold and Nicholas looked at each other in the back, and Nicholas said via voice transmission: "This kid is pretty good, but it's a pity that there is no one to teach him, right senior brother?"

"Well, according to the art of observing people taught by Master, this boy is indeed pretty good. However, this is not the purpose of the two of us coming here. Have you noticed anything unusual after being here for so long?" Harold was cautious.

He looked in all directions and kept his position in the most appropriate place. If an accident occurred, Yun Na would be rescued in time. Now after hearing Nikolai's words, he expressed his feelings.

"It's a bit weird. Although my spiritual consciousness has not yet reached Master's requirements, I can still accurately detect a radius of a hundred miles. There is no breath of life here at all. However, I vaguely feel that the center of this ancient city is

It seems to have an unusual aura." Nicholas replied via voice transmission.

After hearing this, Harold did not answer, nodded, and continued to follow Yun Na towards the interior of the ancient city. Nicholas naturally understood and walked inside with precise steps without saying a word.

Experts wear speed boots to search the bottom of the city, while flying robots fly in the air, hovering to explore high-rise buildings. Because there are many people in this international expert team, more than ten countries on the earth have sent people.

, so this operation was divided into ten groups, entering from the ten avenues of the ancient city ruins, and conducting exploration at the same time. According to the earth's schedule, when the day was about to end, after the leaders of the ten teams called each other, they discovered

Still found nothing today, so we decided to go back to the base first. At this time, everyone was less than a hundred miles away from the center of the ancient city.

Taking a low-altitude aircraft parked outside the ancient city, hundreds of members of the international expert team returned to the base in less than two hours.

Early the next morning, according to the plan, no one will visit the city ruins in person today. Instead, robots will be sent to the center of the ancient city to conduct a thorough search of the final area. The robot will then bury the relevant instruments of the holographic scanner at the designated location.

Finally, the holographic scan can be performed.

Yun Na originally thought that she would be able to enter the incident site today. Unexpectedly, the experts were worried about another accident and decided to send a robot. In this way, wouldn't it be no different from the previous search? Yun Na felt that she should go there in person anyway.

It was better to go there, so before the robot team set off, Yun Na came to Academician Lu Mingxuan's office. After explaining her purpose to the security guard, Yun Na entered Academician Lu Mingxuan's office.

At this time, Academician Lu Mingxuan was studying the information about the city ruins that he had collected before. When he saw Yun Na coming in, he quickly said: "Yun Na, you are here just in time. Come and take a look." He clicked on the holographic virtual reality with his hand.

An area of ​​the image was enlarged several times. When Yun Na came over, facing the image of that area, she frowned and said, "This place is the site of two accidents. From the images we captured

It seems that this place is in the center of the ancient city. However, I discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, the center of this ancient city does not seem to be the center of a city, because it is too wide. You see, it is at least a few meters away from the center.

Five thousand meters away, which city would build such a large square?"

"Professor, do you mean that this central area has another purpose?" Yun Na asked puzzledly.

"Yes, according to my assumptions, this area is likely to be the energy center of this ancient city, and it is an extremely dangerous energy. At the same time, looking at the layout of the ancient city, I feel that these buildings seem to have some kind of energy gathering

The function is just like an accessory structure of an energy generator." Lu Mingxuan's eyes flashed, and when he saw Yun Na nodding aside, his thoughts became clearer: "We who study physics all know that super energy

Concentration will produce space fission, and at the right time, it will also produce space compression, resulting in space oscillation, forming long-distance signal transmission similar to quantum action at a distance. If I guessed correctly, the previously missing personnel are probably not on Venus.

Up."

"But, during our detection in the past two days, we did not feel any energy fluctuations? Moreover, previous researchers did not find any abnormal energy changes there?" Although Yun Na admired the professor's reasoning, she still

Don't believe it.

"That's right, we didn't find any abnormalities in energy, but I spent the whole night researching last night and got an important breakthrough." Lu Mingxuan showed a proud look on his face and clicked a few times on the holographic virtual image.

, called up a three-dimensional pattern, and ran it according to the set program.

Yun Na saw that a three-dimensional model with a structure similar to that of urban ruins showed a powerful energy-gathering effect during computer simulation, and she immediately understood why the professor was so sure.

"Although I discovered this secret accidentally, I still don't understand the mechanism. In addition, the ancient city is also in dilapidated condition. Some structures cannot be restored, and there is no specific data, so it is only a rough simulation, let alone the center.

What role do the parts play?" Lu Mingxuan explained to Yun Na with a solemn expression.

Yun Na looked at the three-dimensional image, and it seemed a bit familiar. So she did a few operations on the image, brought up the planar anatomy diagram, examined it carefully, and exclaimed: "Professor, this is a formation."

picture!"

"What formation diagram?" Lu Mingxuan didn't understand what Yun Na was talking about.

"It's like this. I happened to be studying the Five Elements Techniques and Qimen Yishu in ancient my country some time ago. I also studied ancient formations, including military formations and Taoist formations." Yun Na actually learned it from Wu Liang. When it comes to knowledge about formations, I just don’t want to cause trouble, so I explained it to Lu Mingxuan like this.

"You mean this thousand-year-old city was laid out according to formations?" Lu Mingxuan asked quickly.

"Yes, this ancient city is shaped like a wheel, with ten avenues, and two of these ten avenues are close to each other, which is consistent with the Five Elements and the principles of Yin and Yang, and the division of the city's regions also coincides with the formations.

Looking at the layout, looking at the design of the central area, it seems to have the meaning of the main position, and it also meets the requirements of the formation eye." Yun Na carefully considered it and felt that she was not sure.

Lu Mingxuan did not expect that Yun Na actually knew Qimen magic. After listening to her analysis, he quickly asked: "So, do you know what this formation is and understand its function?"

Yun Na shook her head and said: "I'm just looking at the flowers in the fog. I'm not sure whether this formation has the function of gathering energy. However, if we can conduct an on-site investigation and go deep into the center of the ancient city, we may be able to get some inspiration."

"No, it's too dangerous there. No one is allowed to go there until the research results are obtained." Lu Mingxuan looked very serious and did not want Yun Na to be in danger. Then he comforted Yun Na kindly: "Actually, you

There is no need to go on an on-site inspection. As soon as today is over, the holographic data of the entire ancient city will be available. Then use the computer to restore it and set up a virtual image, and you can be immersed in the scene."

"But, Professor -" Yun Na still wanted to stick to her opinion, but when the professor waved his hand, she had to steady her breath and said, "Professor, I'll go out first." Then, she quietly left the office.

.

When she came to her room, she looked at Harold and Nicholas who were guarding the door. Yun Na couldn't help but her eyes lit up, she pulled them into the room, and then asked: "Did you two find anything? I

I went to the professor's place today and found that the entire ancient city was actually laid out according to the cultivation formation. Do you two want to take a look?"

"Yesterday we did find something, but it was not a big formation. We just felt that there was a strange aura in the center of the ancient city. It was neither like the aura of Master and Taoist Priest Wu, nor the aura of warriors, nor the aura of those who transformed people.

It's not the same, and it's completely different from the aura of dark creatures." Harold said in a calm tone.

"Really? Why didn't I feel it?" Yun Na became interested when she heard what Harold said. She didn't expect that this ancient city had hidden mysteries.

"It's not wrong. The spiritual knowledge taught by Master can easily detect these things, which is much better than the machine you use." Nicholas answered affirmatively from the side.

"Divine consciousness?!" Yun Na thought to herself, since it is divine consciousness, there must be no problem, so she made up her mind and said to Harold and Nicholas: "Why don't we go to the ancient city today and directly

What do you think of going deep into the center of the ancient city?"

"We have no objections. We will all listen to your arrangements." Harold and Nicholas expressed briefly.

After hearing the two people's answers, Yun Na made an excuse, took Harold and Nicholas, and drove the low-altitude aircraft out of the base. Then, when the guards were not paying attention, she accelerated instantly and flew over thousands of people in less than an hour.

kilometers, to the edge of the city ruins.

Just as they were about to go in, the automatic answering system activated on their bodies, Lu Mingxuan's image appeared in front of the three of them, with a stern face, and said coldly: "Yun Na, what are you doing? Do you know about your unauthorized actions?

, has put our country’s researchers in a dangerous situation. If an international dispute arises, who will be responsible?”

"Professor, I——" Yun Na was about to explain.

"Don't explain anything. Come back quickly before no one finds out, otherwise we will no longer have the right to participate in the investigation activities of the international expert team." Lu Mingxuan was obviously anxious, but his tone was much calmer.

"Well, professor, you are the only one who knows anyway, so just don't tell anyone. You see, I have the protection of the two of them, so there will definitely be no problem. Okay, that's it, professor, just wait for me.

News. See you at the base -" After Yun Na finished speaking, she did not give Lu Mingxuan time to reply. She immediately turned off the answering system and locked it. Then she said to Harold and Nicholas: "The time is limited, we must rush as soon as possible.

Arrive at the destination. After saying that, start the aircraft and fly towards the center of the ancient city.

After a while, the aircraft avoided those flying robots and landed quietly under the central building that was more than fifty meters high. As soon as the three people left the aircraft and before their feet even touched the ground, they felt an indescribable sense of depression. In terms of physics,

From the perspective of a scientist, Yun Na knew that there was strong energy radiation and irregular energy surges here. As warriors, Harold and Nicholas felt that there was a master who was no less powerful than them lurking here.

, and this master showed off his cultivation unabashedly, seeming to have sensed their arrival, so he released his momentum to force them back.

"What should I do?" Yun Na is still thinking about examining some formations. She feels that this strong energy fluctuation will cause a strong explosion if she is not careful.
