The Protagonist Group was searching frantically in the basement for a way to disable the Divine Temple's defense mechanism. Lin Qiye opened a box covered in runes, and a pungent odor hit him instantly. He couldn't help but sneeze. "What is this smell? It feels like a thousand-year-old sock." His words eased the tense atmosphere slightly, and everyone around let out helpless smiles.
On the other side, Xing Li was inspecting bottles filled with brightly colored liquids. She picked up a blue bottle, and the liquid inside sloshed around, emitting a mysterious glow. "Do you think these liquids could be some kind of magical potion? Like drinking them gives you super strength or breaks the defense mechanism," she said half-jokingly.
A Guardian walked over and said with a smile, "You'd better not drink that at random. What if it's some ancient poison? That would be a huge mess. Who knows, maybe drinking it turns you into a frog that does weird dances." Everyone was amused by his imagination, but they also knew this was no time for joking; the defense mechanism overhead still threatened their safety.
