Little Jie tightly grasped my arm, his eyes filled with fear. 0
"What do we do now?" 0
I closed my eyes, trying hard to calm myself down. 0
"We need to stay calm and find the source of the energy controlling the crystal; that's the only way to stop everything." 0
So we began searching for a way to halt the energy waves, each step feeling incredibly difficult. 0
Amidst the deafening noise, I suddenly heard Old Li shout. 0
"Gu Mo, I found it!" 0
I hurried over to Old Li and saw a stone slab in front of him, inscribed with symbols similar to those in the diary. 0
"This is the source of the energy controlling the crystal; we need to destroy it!" 0
I took a deep breath, channeling all my strength into my arm, and struck the slab with all my might. 0
With a loud crash, the slab shattered into many pieces, and the power of the crystal vanished along with it. 0
The tremors in the city gradually ceased, and everything became much quieter. 0
The situation was really chaotic; I inadvertently caught sight of a page in the diary. 0
Symbols I had never noticed before suddenly appeared before my eyes, as if they wanted to reveal some secret to me. 0
I was startled and quickly showed those pages of the diary to Old Li and Little Jie. 0
"Come look at this! I think these symbols might tell us how to control the power of that crystal!" 0
Time was truly tight; we needed to think of a solution quickly, or it would be disastrous once the protective mechanism completely went out of control. 0
The guardians began their assault again, their power growing stronger; it seemed they didn't want us getting close to that crystal. 0
At that moment, Little Jie suddenly shouted and charged at the guardians with his weapon, buying us some time. 0
The three of us quickly searched for clues in the diary, our eyes scanning back and forth across the text in hopes of finding the key to stopping this disaster. 0
Old Li's forehead was drenched in sweat, and my hands trembled violently, but we knew that finding a solution was our top priority. 0
I quickly reread the diary, desperately trying to make sense of those complex characters and meanings. 0
"Ah, it seems there's a specific sequence of symbols mentioned here... If we could operate the crystal according to this description, maybe we could..." 0
 
 
Before I could finish speaking, the ground began to shake violently. The entire city seemed to tremble, and the protective mechanism started to retaliate, its power far greater than we had imagined. 0
 
"It's starting to fight back! We need to hurry, or else..." Xiao Jie shouted loudly. 0
 
As soon as he finished speaking, a brilliant beam of light shot out from the crystal, piercing straight through the sky. The force of this light was so immense that we dared not look directly at it. Even the Guardians had to retreat in the face of this power; their strength was nothing compared to this energy. 0
 
"Is this... is this the final retaliation of the protective mechanism?" Old Li's voice was filled with despair. 0
 
"No, we can't give up!" I bit my lip tightly, filled with a fighting spirit. "The diary said that if we touch the crystal at the right moment and in the right way, we can suppress its power." 0
 
"We have to give it a try!" 0
 
"Hey, Old Li, Xiao Jie, we need to rush over to the crystal!" 0
 
The three of us quickly ran over and reached the crystal. I immediately explained how we could touch it, and we positioned ourselves on the north side, south side, and above the crystal, ready to make our move. 0
 
"Is everyone ready?" 0
 
Following what was written in the diary, we all extended our hands toward the crystal at three different points. In that instant, a warm force emerged from within the crystal, seemingly establishing a connection with our bodies. 0
