The team stood in stunned silence, trying to process the warning they had just received from the ancient ones. Maria's eyes were fixed on the crystals, her mind racing with questions.
"What did they mean by that?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Dr. Patel's eyes were narrowed. "I think they're warning us of a danger that lies ahead. Something that could threaten our entire expedition."
Kanaq's eyes were scanning the chamber, his hand on the hilt of his knife. "I don't like this. We need to be prepared for anything."
Jake's eyes were fixed on the crystals, his mind racing with possibilities. "I think we're dealing with something much bigger than we initially thought. This could be a clue to the secrets of the ancient ones."
Maria's eyes locked onto Jake's, a spark of excitement igniting within her. "You think this could be a key to unlocking the secrets of the lost city?"
Jake nodded. "It's possible. But we need to be careful. We don't know what we're up against."
As they discussed the possibilities, the team heard a faint rumbling noise coming from deeper within the temple. It was a low, ominous sound that seemed to be getting closer.
"What's that?" Dr. Patel asked, her voice trembling.
Kanaq's eyes were fixed on the entrance to the chamber. "I don't know, but I think we should be prepared to defend ourselves."
The team nodded in agreement, their eyes scanning the chamber for any signs of danger. They knew that they had to be careful, for they were now playing with forces beyond their control.
Suddenly, the rumbling noise stopped, and an eerie silence fell over the chamber. The team stood frozen, waiting for whatever was coming next.
And then, a figure emerged from the shadows.
