Chapter 271: Battle to Break the Crystallization Cage

Lín Jìn tightly pulls Ling Yue's hand, carefully continuing forward in the nursery cabin. Mysterious light and strange energy fluctuations pervade the surroundings, making one feel both excited and nervous. They step by step go deeper, overlooking no corner that might hide key clues.

Meanwhile, in that distant and collapsing Chan dao Yuzhou, a thrilling upheaval is quietly unfolding. Since Lin Li bravely chose self‑Crystallization to protect those crucial bug data, the entire Chan dao Yuzhou, as if enchanted, rapidly formed an incredibly sturdy Crystallization cage, trapping Lín Jìn and the others firmly inside.

Just as the two were burning with anxiety, a slight tremor came from their special communication device. Lín Jìn hurriedly opened it, and an urgent message flashed: "Warning! Chan dao Yuzhou has entered a Crystallization state; the seven nerve nodes must be found quickly to lift the seal! Otherwise, not only will everything in Chan dao Yuzhou suffer a devastating blow, but your exploration in the nursery cabin will be in vain…"

Seeing the message, Lín Jìn and Ling Yue's expressions instantly grew solemn. They knew time was tight; if they couldn't break the Crystallization cage as soon as possible, the consequences would be unimaginable. Yet finding those seven mysterious nerve nodes is far from easy—where exactly are they hidden?

Though the road ahead was fraught with hardships, Lín Jìn and Ling Yue showed no sign of retreat. They exchanged a glance, each eyes flashing with resolve. Then they inhaled deeply, mustered courage again, and advanced toward the unknown depths, determined to solve the mystery, save Chan dao Yuzhou, and uncover the truth they pursued.

"It seems we have to split into two parties," Lín Jìn said, looking at Ling Yue, his gaze full of worry and determination. Though weakened, Ling Yue's eyes were equally steadfast; she nodded, "You go back to the nursery cabin to find the ultimate solution, I will take the Obstetric Forceps back to Chan dao Yuzhou and, with the others, search for the nerve nodes."

Lín Jìn, though unwilling to let Ling Yue face danger alone, knew time was pressing, and this seemed the only way. He gripped her hand tightly, "You must be careful; I'll resolve things here as quickly as possible and reunite with you."

Ling Yue gave a faint smile, "Don't worry, we'll definitely succeed." Then, she wielded the Obstetric Forceps and trudged back to Chan dao Yuzhou.

After returning to Chan dao Yuzhou, Ling Yue reunited with the remaining companions and immediately began searching for the nerve nodes. After research and exploration, they discovered that the distribution of the seven nerve nodes corresponded to the Beidou Seven‑Star Formation. This revelation sparked hope, as it likely hinted at Lin Yuan's prearranged rescue plan.

"Lin Yuan must have anticipated this situation long ago, which is why he left such clues," Ling Yue analyzed.

Following the orientation of the Beidou Seven‑Star Formation, the group began scouring the collapsing Chan dao Yuzhou. Each time they located a nerve node, they had to overcome numerous obstacles. Some nodes were guarded by powerful energy shields; others were hidden in dangerous zones of spatial distortion.

While searching for the first nerve node, they encountered a horde of monsters formed from Crystallization energy. These beasts were massive, agile, and possessed tremendous attack power. They lunged at the group with snarling claws, trying to prevent them from approaching the node.

Ling Yue commanded the group, using the Obstetric Forceps' special ability to battle the monsters. The Forceps' sharp tip glimmered with a cold light, each swing tearing through the monsters' Crystallized bodies. After a fierce fight, they finally defeated the beasts and secured the first nerve node.

Yet before they could catch their breath, the Collapse speed of Chan dao Yuzhou suddenly accelerated. The surrounding space kept shattering, and a massive suction tried to swallow everything. The group knew little time remained; they had to find the remaining six nerve nodes as quickly as possible in this worsening environment…

Meanwhile, what further crises and challenges will Lín Jìn face deep within the nursery cabin?
