Mecha Star Wars.

Chapter 1220 Looking back in time
There are no other formations in the earthen city. The only special thing is a funnel-shaped ochre-colored object standing on a half-person-high square earthen pillar in the center of the central square.

The thing was big at the top and small at the bottom, like a wine leak. It was hard to tell whether the tip at the bottom was stuck in the soil column or floating above. Under the earthy yellow color, it was unknown what kind of metal it was. It seemed to have been deposited for thousands of years and had long lost its luster.

If it weren't for the continuous flow of spiritual energy into the funnel, this inconspicuous thing would seem to have merged with the earth pillar and would have been just a strange clay sculpture.

"It's really different from the Crystal Palace." Mu Jingjing stared at the dirt-filled funnel, eager to move forward, "It looks like this is a ready-made device."

Du Xingyu grabbed her and said, "Don't take risks."

He looked around but couldn't find even a piece of dirt, so he took out a white porcelain wine glass and threw it over.

The wine glass hit the earthen funnel accurately, making a crisp cracking sound and scattering all over the ground.

A piece of soil on the funnel was knocked off, revealing the copper inside.

Other than that, nothing happened. No defense, no attack.

"Huh? That doesn't make sense." Du Xingyu took out a boomerang and threw it out with force, unbelieving it.

The force of the boomerang was much greater than that of the wine glass, and coupled with Du Xingyu's deliberate move, the funnel was knocked over directly to the ground, tumbling onto the ground, and then slowly rolled half a circle before stopping.

"It has stopped." Lin Fan looked up at the sky, "The spiritual energy beam has lost its traction and is dissipating."

"Hi!" Du Xingyu walked over happily, "It seems that this time the difficulty is not high, we are worrying too much."

As soon as he bent down and stretched out his hand, he saw a golden light suddenly burst out from the funnel mouth, shooting straight towards the house in front. The house illuminated by the light was immediately shrouded in a light golden light, which quickly spread to the neighboring houses.

In just a moment, everyone suddenly heard a huge heartbeat, one faster than the other, as if it came from the soil, and as if it came from the air, as if the ancient city had revived. The ground shook violently, and everyone fell to the ground unexpectedly.

"What's going on?" Mu Jingjing tried to use her limbs, but she seemed to be swaying in the waves and couldn't stand up at all.

"Put it back!" Yu Sinian shouted, "This is a delayed trigger..."

The funnel continued to rotate in the shaking ground, and the golden light continued to radiate to houses in other directions. The vibrations became more frequent.

Lin Fan's center of gravity sank, and she pounced like a tiger, avoiding the incoming golden light and grasping the thin handle of the funnel. The light rose upward with her movement, shooting straight into the sky, and at the same time turned into golden powder that scattered down.

Lin Fan grabbed the soil column and put the funnel back in place.

The moment the bottom touched the soil column, the earthquake stopped and the golden light disappeared.

Everything seemed to be their illusion, leaving only a few people who were dizzy, gasping for breath, staggering to their feet.

Lin Fan didn't dare to let go of his hands, and carefully tried to find a balance point for the funnel so that it could continue to stand on its own.

Just as he was concentrating on his work, he heard Mu Jingjing shouting, "Look! What is that?"

Everyone followed the sound.

The originally dilapidated house seemed to have gone back in time. The pitted walls were restored to smoothness, the faded wooden edges became bright again, the tiles on the roof revealed their original color, the vermilion door was opened from the inside, and lively people walked out...

Houses are becoming new one after another, and more and more people are coming out, talking, laughing, birds singing, cicadas chirping...

The dead silent ancient city suddenly became noisy again, but the hearts of those who witnessed it all sank.

"What... is going on?" Du Xingyu's heart was beating like a drum. "What... illusion have we triggered?" Yu Sinian looked up at the sky. Under the dim sky, it was difficult to see the light golden light covering the earthen city - the light emitted from the funnel was still there.

"If it was just an illusion, it would be fine," Yu Sinian walked towards Lin Fan, "This looks like a time-traveling formation. We are trapped in the past."

"Ah?" Du Xingyu was shocked, looking at the increasingly crowded streets. "So, the clothes these people wear are indeed very different from today. Could it be that they are from ancient times..."

Yu Sinian walked around the funnel carefully, reached out and grabbed it, then lifted it up.

"Hey! You!" Du Xingyu hurriedly stopped him and lowered his body, but found that there was no earthquake and no golden light.

"It is as expected." Yu Sinian knocked the funnel with his fan, shattering the excess dust on it. "This is a continuity magic weapon, and it has no ability to store energy. The moment it was removed, its previous function was destroyed. The subsequent earthquakes and what is happening in front of us are just punishments for the interference. The ejected golden light is the focus of the interference, and now it has completely covered the city. Is this thing useless?"

"Useless?" Du Xingyu's expression was exaggerated. "It's a magic weapon after all, how could it be useless? I've only heard of magic weapons that need to store energy, but I've never heard of one that can only be used once."

"If you want it, take it," Yu Sinian threw it out, "With our current capabilities, we can't activate this."

"What about the spiritual energy?" Mu Jingjing asked, stretching her arms and drawing a big circle. "Where is all that spiritual energy?"

"It's underneath." Lin Fan reached out and stroked the ordinary soil pillar. "All the energy has gone underneath this."

"So there is still space below?" Shen Xiuyuan realized, "Could it be..."

Before he finished speaking, the noisy voices on the street suddenly stopped.

Everyone looked around vigilantly, only to see that the originally harmonious and peaceful crowd had all turned towards them at some point, their eyes fixed on them, as if they had seen some delicious food, with uncontrollable hunger on their faces, making their originally ordinary faces look strange and distorted.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Du Xingyu raised the funnel in his hand and shouted to the crowd, "What are you doing? We are not for eating!"

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything. As soon as he said it, it was as if some kind of signal was sent out. The crowd suddenly let out a terrible roar, bared their teeth, and pounced on him using their hands and feet like mindless beasts.

"Oh my god!" Du Xingyu stepped on the wind and went upwards. He turned around and smashed the funnel hard on the head of the person below.

Blood splattered everywhere in an instant, but the opponent seemed to feel no pain and kept rushing forward.

Yu Sinian's formation seemed to be restricted in this illusion formation. He couldn't use it at all and was almost caught in the face by the claws.

He immediately closed the fan and swung it hard, revealing a hand-long dagger at the tip of the fan. He used the fan as a sword, and every strike of the sword was fierce and merciless.

Shen Xiuyuan is not good at fighting, and he cannot use his supernatural powers here. When there are too many people around, his sword will be in chaos. Fortunately, Mu Jingjing is protecting him.

But Mu Jingjing just kept stopping them. She couldn't do anything to these ordinary people who were just laughing and talking.

The purple gold hammer was swung, hitting people with a "bang bang" sound. She looked reluctant and retreated while fighting.

Lin Fan turned his two swords into spears and swung them, quickly clearing a vacuum zone.

She felt familiar with these people.

She thought of the zombies on Tiandu Star.

The zombies on Tiandu Star are caused by pollution and viruses. Is it the same for the people here?
No, this is an illusion, these are people from the past...

Could it be that the reason for the ancient destruction was... maybe a virus?
