#993 - Cosmic Energy

In the ruins of the town, the exploration team carefully searched for clues. Suddenly, Zhao Hu found a stone emitting a faint dark aura under a collapsed house. He handed the stone to Li Yang, who took it and observed it carefully. He found some strange symbols engraved on the surface of the stone, which were somewhat similar to the runes they saw in the ruins, but there were obvious differences.

"This stone is very likely related to these abnormal conditions. Let's take it with us first, maybe we can find a breakthrough from it." Li Yang said as he put the stone into his space backpack.

Afterwards, they continued to search the town and finally found some clues in an abandoned warehouse on the edge of the town. A huge magic circle was drawn on the floor of the warehouse, which exuded a strong dark energy, and there were some footprints and hair of monsters around it.

"It seems that this is one of the places where Warcraft appears. This magic circle should be used to summon Warcraft." Lin Yu said with a frown.

Li Yang squatted down and studied the magic circle carefully, trying to find out the key information to activate the magic circle and its connection with the dark power. After some analysis, he found that the energy source of the magic circle seemed to be related to some kind of dark energy fluctuation inside the blue planet.

"We must find the source of this dark energy fluctuation in order to completely solve these problems." Li Yang stood up and said with a firm look.

At this moment, they suddenly felt the ground begin to shake violently, and then a huge dark monster slowly rose from the magic circle. The monster was emitting black smoke all over its body, and its eyes were flashing blood-red light. It opened its huge mouth and let out a deafening roar, shaking the surrounding houses to collapse one after another.

"Everyone be careful, this monster is very powerful!" Li Yang warned loudly.

The exploration team quickly deployed into battle formation. Li Yang stood at the front, the sword in his hand shining with golden light; Lin Yu and Zhao Hu stood on both sides, ready to attack at any time; Bai Zhi used plant weapons to provide support in the rear. She quickly summoned a row of frozen pea shooters, and shot peas with freezing effect at the dark beast.

The dark beast didn't seem to care about the freezing effect. It waved its huge claws and easily crushed the peas. Then, a black flame spurted out of its mouth and swept towards the exploration team.

Li Yang quickly unleashed a sword energy to slash the black flames. At the same time, he flashed and rushed towards the dark beast like a golden lightning, stabbing the beast's body with the sword in his hand. The dark beast reacted very quickly, it dodged Li Yang's attack by moving sideways, and then lashed at him with its tail.

Li Yang quickly jumped back to avoid the tail's attack. Lin Yu and Zhao Hu seized the opportunity and attacked from both sides. The long knife in Lin Yu's hand flashed with cold light and chopped at the beast's legs; Zhao Hu turned into a fierce tiger and bit the beast's arm. The dark beast felt pain and roared, and it threw Lin Yu and Zhao Hu out with force.

Bai Zhi was anxious when she saw her teammates injured. She concentrated her mind and activated the maximum power of the plant weapons, not only increasing the firing speed of the frozen pea shooter, but also summoning some newly cultivated flame vines to entangle the dark beast's body, trying to restrict its movement.

Li Yang took the opportunity to launch another attack. He integrated the elemental power obtained from the ruins into the sword energy, and a golden sword energy with powerful force slashed at the dark beast. The dark beast felt this powerful threat, and the dark energy in its body surged wildly, trying to resist the attack of the sword energy.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the sword energy collided with the dark energy, bursting out with strong light and energy fluctuations. The dark beast was pushed back several steps by this powerful force, and a deep wound appeared on its body, and black blood flowed out.

"Take advantage of its weakness to kill it!" Li Yang shouted, leading his teammates to launch another attack. Everyone used their strongest skills to attack the dark beast. Under the joint attack of everyone, the dark beast finally couldn't hold on, and after a reluctant roar, it fell to the ground.

After solving the dark monster, the exploration team breathed a sigh of relief. But they knew that this was only the first step in solving the problem, and there were more difficult challenges waiting for them.

"Based on the current clues, we can speculate that the source of the dark energy fluctuations may be deep underground on the blue planet. We need to find a way to get underground," said Li Yang.

"But the Blue Planet is so big, how do we know exactly where to enter the underground?" Zhao Hu said worriedly.

At this time, Bai Zhi took out the stone she had found before. She carefully observed the symbols on the stone and suddenly found that these symbols seemed to form a simple map.

"Look, these symbols seem to point to a place. Maybe that's the entrance to the underground." Bai Zhi said excitedly.

Everyone gathered around and carefully studied the symbols on the stone. After some discussion, they determined the approximate location of the map, which was a mysterious mountain range in the north of Blue Star.

"Without further delay, let's set off for that mountain range immediately," said Li Yang.

The exploration team rushed to the northern mountains without stopping. Along the way, they saw more signs that the blue planet was affected by the dark power. The vegetation in many places began to wither and the rivers became turbid. This made them more determined to find the source of the dark energy and solve the problem.

When they finally arrived at the northern mountains, they found that there was an oppressive atmosphere here. The mountains were shrouded in clouds and mist, and it was gloomy and terrifying, and some strange noises could be heard from time to time.

"Everyone be careful, it feels very dangerous here." Li Yang said in a low voice.

They carefully searched for the entrance along the mountain. Suddenly, a group of dark creatures appeared in front of them. These creatures looked like humans, but they exuded a dark aura and held various dark weapons in their hands.

"It seems we have been discovered, get ready for battle!" Li Yang said, and rushed towards the dark creature first.

The dark creatures let out strange cries and rushed towards the exploration team. Although the individual strength of these dark creatures was not as good as that of the exploration team members, they were numerous, and for a while, the exploration team was in a difficult battle.

Li Yang wielded his sword, and every attack killed several dark creatures. Lin Yu and Zhao Hu stood back to back, cooperating with each other, using their swords and tiger claws to wreak havoc on the dark creatures. Bai Zhi continued to summon various plant weapons in the back to provide support for her teammates. The freezing effect of the Frozen Pea Shooter slowed down some dark creatures, while the Flame Vine tightly entangled some dark creatures.

However, the dark creatures continued to pour in, seemingly endlessly.

"This is not a solution. We have to find a way to break through their encirclement." Li Yang shouted while fighting.

At this moment, Lin Yu suddenly discovered a weakness of the dark creatures. They seemed to be very afraid of light energy.

"Li Yang, these dark creatures are afraid of light energy. We can attack them with light magic!" Lin Yu said loudly.

After hearing this, Li Yang's heart moved. He quickly mobilized the energy in his body and cast a powerful light magic. A dazzling light shot out from his hand, illuminating the entire battlefield. Under the illumination of the light magic, the dark creatures cried out in pain, and their bodies began to dissipate.

While the dark creatures were in chaos, the exploration team took the opportunity to break out and continued to advance deeper into the mountains.

After some searching, they finally found a hidden cave under a steep mountain. The cave exuded the same dark energy fluctuations as the previous magic circle, and this was probably the entrance to the underground.

"Finally found it, let's go in." Li Yang said, leading the way into the cave.

The cave was dark and damp, with a pungent smell. They walked cautiously along the narrow passage, and suddenly, a huge stone door appeared in front of them. The stone door was also engraved with strange runes, which emitted a dark light, as if to prevent them from moving forward.

Li Yang carefully observed the runes on the stone door, trying to find a way to open it. He found that these runes were inextricably linked to the runes he had seen in the ruins before. After some thought, he tried to follow the rules of the runes in the ruins and use special energy fluctuations to touch the runes on the stone door.

As Li Yang moved, the runes on the stone door began to flash, and the stone door slowly opened, revealing a staircase extending downwards.

"Be careful, we don't know what danger is waiting for us inside." Li Yang reminded. Everyone held their weapons tightly and walked slowly down the stairs.

The stairs were very long and seemed to have no end. They walked for a long time and finally came to a huge underground space. This space was filled with thick dark energy. In the center of the space, there was a huge black crystal. Dark energy kept pouring out of the crystal. It was this energy that caused various abnormalities on the blue planet.

"It seems that this is the source of the dark energy." Li Yang looked at the black crystal with a frown.

At this moment, a dark shadow emerged from the darkness. The shadow gradually condensed into a human figure, wearing a black robe and a hood, and his face could not be seen clearly.

"You shouldn't have come here. Now you all must die!" The black shadow made a gloomy voice.

"Who are you? Why do you want to release dark energy and destroy the Blue Planet?" Li Yang asked loudly.

"It doesn't matter who I am. The destruction of Blue Planet is inevitable. You self-righteous guys are simply wishful thinking to try to stop this!" said the black shadow, and a beam of dark energy condensed in his hand and shot towards Li Yang.

Li Yang quickly swung his sword and shattered the dark energy beam. He exerted his strongest sword energy and rushed towards the black shadow. The black shadow dodged Li Yang's attack, and then he waved his hands, and the surrounding dark energy quickly condensed into a group of dark puppets, rushing towards the exploration team.

The members of the exploration team quickly started fighting, using their respective skills to fight a desperate battle with the dark puppet. While fighting the black shadow, Li Yang observed the black shadow's attack methods and weaknesses. He found that although the black shadow was powerful, it needed a short time to charge when casting powerful dark magic.

Just as the black shadow was about to cast a powerful dark magic, Li Yang seized the opportunity and cast a teleportation magic that combined the power of the ruins elements, instantly appearing behind the black shadow. He swung the long sword in his hand and slashed at the back of the black shadow.

The shadow sensed the attack from behind, but it was too late to dodge. The long sword slashed at him, and he let out a scream and fell forward.

However, at this moment, the black crystal suddenly burst out with a powerful energy wave, which knocked the members of the exploration team away. The black shadow took the opportunity to stand up, with a crazy light flashing in his eyes.

"Do you think you can stop me like this? Today, Blue Star will be destroyed!" said the black shadow, rushing towards the black crystal. He pressed his hands on the crystal and began to frantically absorb the dark energy in the crystal.

As the black shadow absorbed the dark energy, his strength became stronger and stronger, and the dark energy around his body formed a huge vortex.

"We can't let him continue to absorb energy, otherwise we will not be his match!" Li Yang shouted and led his teammates to rush towards the black shadow again.

Everyone used their strongest skills to try to stop the black shadow from absorbing energy. Li Yang poured all his strength into the sword energy, and a sword energy containing powerful light and elemental power slashed at the black shadow. Lin Yu and Zhao Hu also used their own special skills, while Bai Zhi stimulated the maximum power of the plant weapon, and various attacks flew towards the black shadow and the black crystal.

Under the joint attack of everyone, the black shadow encountered some obstacles, but he was still madly absorbing the dark energy.

"We can't go on like this. We must find a way to destroy the black crystal and cut off the source of dark energy." Li Yang said.

At this moment, Bai Zhi suddenly thought of a way. She took out some special plant seeds from her space backpack. These seeds were cultivated when she was researching plant weapons and had powerful purification capabilities.

"Maybe these seeds can purify the black crystal." Bai Zhi said, scattering the seeds on the black crystal.

The seed fell on the black crystal, took root and sprouted quickly, the vines wrapped around the crystal and began to release purification energy. The dark energy in the black crystal was affected by the purification energy and began to gradually weaken.

The black shadow was very anxious when he saw this. He gave up absorbing energy and turned to attack Bai Zhi, trying to stop her from purifying the black crystal.

Seeing this, Li Yang quickly stood in front of Bai Zhi and fought a desperate battle with the black shadow. Lin Yu and Zhao Hu also joined the battle, using all their strength to restrain the black shadow's actions.

With the efforts of Li Yang and others, Bai Zhi finally succeeded in purifying the black crystal with purification plants. The dark energy in the black crystal was completely removed, and the dark energy fluctuations on the blue star gradually disappeared.

The black shadow lost the support of dark energy and its strength was greatly reduced. Li Yang seized the opportunity and delivered the final blow, completely destroying the black shadow.

As the shadow disappeared, the dark atmosphere in the underground space gradually dissipated. The exploration team successfully resolved the crisis on Blue Star.

They returned to the ground and told the people on Blue Star the good news. The entire Blue Star was immersed in joy, and people expressed their gratitude and admiration for Li Yang and the exploration team.

After this crisis, the people on Blue Star cherish peace and tranquility even more. Li Yang and his teammates did not relax because they knew that there might be various unknown threats in the future.

Therefore, Li Yang decided to further strengthen the research institutions in Yunzhou City, train more professionals, conduct in-depth research on various mysterious forces, and enhance the overall defense capabilities of Blue Star. At the same time, he also discussed with leaders of other cities to establish a defense alliance for the entire Blue Star, so that they can respond more quickly in the face of crises and jointly protect Blue Star.

In the following days, Li Yang and his teammates continued to explore Blue Star and find more ways to deal with the crisis. They knew that the battle to protect Blue Star would never end, but they would keep going for the future of Blue Star and for the peace and tranquility of all life.

As time went by, Blue Star gradually regained its former vitality and vigor through the efforts of everyone. The research institutes in Yunzhou City also achieved more results, developed a series of more powerful defense weapons and technologies, and the research on mysterious power also reached a new height.

Li Yang was not satisfied with this. He began to think about how to promote these research results to the entire Blue Star so that every city could benefit from them and jointly enhance the defense capabilities of Blue Star.

"We cannot just be satisfied with the development of Yunzhou City. Blue Star is our common home, and every city should have strong defense capabilities." Li Yang said at the meeting of the Defense Alliance.

"Li Yang, you are right. But to promote these achievements to various cities, many problems need to be solved, such as technology transfer, resource allocation, etc." said a city leader.

"We can solve these problems step by step. First, we can set up a special technical exchange team to go to various cities to impart our research results and defense technologies. At the same time, we can also establish a resource sharing mechanism so that various cities can share their resources and develop together." Li Yang said.

After discussion, the Defense Alliance decided to set up a technical exchange group and resource sharing committee according to Li Yang's suggestion. The technical exchange group is composed of experts and elite job-changers from Yunzhou City's research institutions. They go to various cities in batches to train local job-changers and scientific researchers, and teach them powerful plant weapon manufacturing technology, the application of relic runes, and the construction of energy defense facilities.

The Resource Sharing Committee is responsible for coordinating the allocation of resources between cities to ensure that each city can get the necessary resource support in the process of improving its defense capabilities. They have established a resource sharing platform where each city can publish its resource needs and available resource information, and achieve rational use of resources through negotiation and allocation.

Thanks to the efforts of the technical exchange team, the defense capabilities of various cities have been significantly improved. Many cities have begun to manufacture and use powerful plant weapons, and have learned to use relic runes to arrange defense arrays. Some cities that were originally weak in defense can also effectively resist some small crises after receiving technical support.

As the defense capabilities of various cities are improved, the overall security of Blue Star is better guaranteed. But Li Yang knows that the universe is full of unknowns and Blue Star may face new challenges at any time. In order to deal with more powerful enemies that may appear in the future, he decided to lead the research team of Yunzhou City to further explore the mysterious forces in the universe.

"We cannot limit ourselves to the power on the Blue Planet. There must be many unknown mysteries in the universe waiting for us to explore. If we can master these powers, we can provide stronger protection for the Blue Planet," said Li Yang at an internal meeting of the research institute.

"However, exploring the mysterious power in the universe is not easy. We need more advanced technology and equipment, and we also need to face various unknown dangers," said a researcher.

"Yes, it is indeed a daunting task. But we cannot back down. We can develop our technology step by step, starting with the preliminary detection of cosmic energy," said Li Yang.

Therefore, the research team began to develop equipment that can detect cosmic energy. They referred to some ancient technologies found in the ruins, combined with modern scientific knowledge, and after countless experiments and improvements, they finally successfully developed a small cosmic energy detector.

This detector can detect cosmic energy fluctuations in the surrounding space and analyze the type and intensity of energy. The research team took the detector and tested it in various places on the blue planet, collecting a large amount of data on cosmic energy.

By analyzing these data, they found that there are some special laws in the cosmic energy around the blue planet. These laws seem to be related to the geographical location of the blue planet and some mysterious astronomical phenomena.

"It seems that our research direction is correct. If we continue to study these laws in depth, we may find a way to utilize cosmic energy." Li Yang said excitedly.

As their research deepened, they found that when certain astronomical phenomena occurred, the cosmic energy around the blue star would fluctuate violently. Moreover, these fluctuations seemed to be guided and utilized in specific ways.

"If we can build an energy-guiding device to guide cosmic energy to the Blue Planet and utilize it when astronomical phenomena occur, we can then create a powerful cosmic energy defense shield for the Blue Planet." Li Yang put forward a bold idea.

The research team conducted in-depth discussions and analyses on this concept and they believe that although this concept is extremely challenging, it is not completely impossible to achieve.

So, they began to design a plan for the energy guide device. After repeated demonstration and modification, they finally determined a feasible plan. The next step was to manufacture and install the energy guide device.

The manufacture of energy guide devices requires a large amount of special materials and advanced technology. Li Yang and other leaders of the Defense Alliance coordinated the resources and technical strength of various cities to jointly complete the manufacture of energy guide devices.

During the manufacturing process, they encountered many difficulties and challenges. Some special materials are very scarce on Blue Star and need to be refined and synthesized through special methods; some key technologies also need further breakthroughs. But with the joint efforts of everyone, these problems were solved one by one.

After months of hard work, the energy guide device was finally completed. They chose a location where a specific astronomical phenomenon was about to occur and began to install the energy guide device.

When the energy guiding device was installed, a specific astronomical phenomenon occurred as expected. The cosmic energy around the blue planet began to fluctuate violently, and the energy guiding device successfully captured this energy and guided it to the blue planet.
