Lynn and the team members stood in this room full of powerful energy fluctuations, with a look of vigilance on each of their faces. That powerful energy was like an invisible giant hand, tightly clutching their hearts.
"Everyone, stay calm and don't panic," Lynn took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He carefully observed everything in the room, trying to find the source of this powerful energy.
The instruments and equipment in the room were flashing strange lights. The liquid in the large container in the center was constantly churning, making a gurgling sound. The liquid was a deep purple color, as if containing endless mysterious power.
"Could the liquid in that container be the source of the energy?" a team member pointed to the container and said. Lynn nodded and said, "It's very likely. Let's get closer and take a look."
They walked carefully towards the container, being extremely cautious with each step. Just as they were about to get close to the container, suddenly, purple rays shot out from the container. These rays were extremely fast and shot towards them.
"Get out of the way!" Lynn shouted. The team members quickly dodged to the side, but still, a team member was grazed by the rays. Where the rays touched his body, black lines immediately appeared, and he let out a painful cry.
"These rays are poisonous!" Lynn said. He used the power of the gem to release a shield to protect the team members from being attacked by the rays again.
"We have to find a way to stop the container from releasing the rays," Lynn said. He began to observe the instruments around the container, trying to find a way to control the container.
Next to the container, there was a large console. There were many buttons and indicator lights on the console, flashing different colors. Lynn guessed that these buttons and indicator lights might be related to the operation of the container.
"Everyone, come with me to the console and take a look," Lynn said. They walked towards the console, constantly dodging the rays shot out by the container along the way.
When they reached the console, Lynn carefully observed the buttons and indicator lights on it. They didn't recognize the symbols on these buttons and indicator lights at all, and had no idea how to operate them.
"We don't recognize the symbols on here. How can we operate it?" a team member said anxiously. Lynn frowned, thinking about a solution.
Suddenly, Lynn remembered the strange symbols they found on the passage wall before. He took out the paper on which he had recorded the symbols and compared them with the symbols on the console.
"I found that there seems to be some connection between these symbols," Lynn said. He began to press the corresponding buttons on the console according to the order of the symbols on the passage wall.
When he pressed the first button, an indicator light on the console lit up, and the rays shot out by the container seemed to weaken a bit. This gave them hope.
"Continue to press the buttons in this order," Lynn said. The team members helped together and pressed the buttons according to Lynn's instructions. As the buttons were continuously pressed, the rays shot out by the container became weaker and weaker.
However, just when they thought they were about to succeed, the console suddenly vibrated violently. Then, a black smoke spurted out from the console.
"Be careful, this smoke may be poisonous!" Lynn shouted. The team members quickly covered their mouths and noses with their clothes, but still, some team members inhaled a small amount of the smoke. The team members who inhaled the smoke began to cough, and their bodies became weak and powerless.
"Our operation seems to have caused the console to resist," Lynn said. He knew that they had to find the correct operation method as soon as possible, otherwise, they would be in a more dangerous situation.
Lynn carefully observed the symbols and indicator lights on the console again, trying to find out where they had made a mistake in the previous operation. He found that the color of one button was different from the other buttons, and the flashing frequency of the indicator light was also different.
"This button may be the key," Lynn said. He pressed the button with a different color. Just as he pressed the button, the console made a clear sound, and all the indicator lights turned green.
The rays shot out by the container completely stopped, and the energy fluctuation in the room gradually weakened. The team members let out a sigh of relief. They finally temporarily resolved the crisis.
"We have to figure out what's in this container," Lynn said. They approached the container again and carefully observed the liquid inside.
Just then, the liquid in the container suddenly churned violently, as if being irritated by something. Then, a huge tentacle stretched out from the liquid. This tentacle was thick and powerful, covered with sharp barbs.
"Be careful, there's a monster!" Lynn shouted. The tentacle swept towards them at a very fast speed. The team members quickly dodged, but still, a team member was hit by the tentacle and was thrown to one side.
"Let's attack this tentacle together!" Lynn shouted. The team members took out their weapons one after another and launched an attack on the tentacle. However, the tentacle was very hard, and their attacks didn't seem to cause much damage to it.
The tentacle kept waving, attacking the team members. In the fierce battle, several more team members were injured. Lynn looked at the injured team members, feeling very anxious.
"This won't work. We have to find the weakness of this tentacle," Lynn said. He carefully observed the movement of the tentacle and found that it would have a brief pause after each wave.
"Everyone, pay attention. Attack when it pauses," Lynn shouted. The team members followed Lynn's instructions and waited for the moment when the tentacle paused.
When the tentacle paused after waving again, Lynn and the team members launched an attack together. They concentrated all their strength and struck a part of the tentacle hard. Under their attack, a crack finally appeared on the tentacle.
"Continue to attack this part!" Lynn shouted. The team members kept attacking the cracked part, and the crack became bigger and bigger. Finally, with a powerful attack, the tentacle was cut off.
However, just as the tentacle was cut off, more tentacles stretched out from the container. These tentacles were thicker and more powerful than the previous one.
"Looks like this is just the beginning. The real crisis is yet to come," Lynn said. They got ready again, preparing to face the new challenge. Could they successfully defeat these tentacles and uncover the secret in the container?
