Chapter 518: The Dilemma of the Ruins and Hidden Clues
The stone door slowly opened, releasing a musty, decaying aura. Lin Yu and the others, weapons in hand, cautiously stepped into the mysterious space. A faint mist filled the stone chamber, and the walls were covered with strange symbols and ancient murals, appearing especially enigmatic in the dim light. Their gazes were immediately drawn to the stone platform in the center of the room, upon which rested the faintly glowing box; presumably, the second key was hidden within.
Lin Yu and Xavier exchanged a glance, then slowly approached the stone platform. Just as Lin Yu's hand was about to touch the box, the ground suddenly trembled violently, and sharp spikes shot out from the ground. "Watch out!" Lin Yu shouted, and he and Xavier quickly jumped back. These spikes were not only incredibly hard, but also emitted an eerie blue light, clearly posing a deadly danger.
“This ruin is full of traps; we must proceed with caution.” Ellie frowned, warily observing her surroundings. At that moment, four enormous statues slowly rose from the four corners of the room. These statues were strangely shaped, with distorted faces, holding various weapons, and radiating powerful energy fluctuations.
Before anyone could react, the statues sprang into action, brandishing their weapons and attacking them. Lin Yu and his team quickly scattered, dodging the statues' attacks while searching for an opportunity to counterattack. Lin Yu noticed that although the statues moved swiftly, their attack patterns were quite predictable.
"Everyone, pay attention to the rhythm of the statues' attacks, and counterattack during the gaps in their attacks!" Lin Yu shouted while dodging the statues' attacks. The team members understood and began to counterattack rhythmically. Laser beams kept shooting at the statues, but the statues' defenses were extremely strong, and ordinary attacks had almost no effect on them.
In the midst of the fierce battle, Lin Yu suddenly noticed a tiny groove at the foot of one of the statues, which seemed to be a mechanism. He immediately shouted to Xavier, "Xavier, attack the groove at the foot of that statue!" Upon hearing this, Xavier quickly adjusted his weapon and fired a powerful laser beam at the groove.
With a loud crash, the groove at the base of the statue was struck, instantly slowing its movements. Seeing this, the other team members concentrated their firepower on the statue. Under their combined attack, the statue finally collapsed, turning into a pile of rubble.
After taking down one statue, the pressure on the group was greatly reduced. They used the same method to find the weaknesses of the other statues one by one, and after a fierce battle, they finally destroyed all four statues.
However, before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, countless small holes suddenly appeared in the walls of the room, from which a plume of green smoke slowly seeped out. "Oh no, it's poisonous fog!" Xavier shouted, and everyone quickly covered their mouths and noses, frantically searching for an exit. But the stone door was already closed, and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't open it again.
In this critical moment, Lin Yu suddenly remembered the symbols he had seen outside the stone gate earlier. He guessed that these symbols might be related to the mechanism to open the stone gate. He quickly ran to the stone gate and touched the symbols on the gate in the order he remembered.
Just as the poisonous fog was about to fill the entire room, the stone door slowly opened, and everyone rushed out. They ran along the passage until they were sure the fog wasn't following, then stopped, panting heavily.
"That was close, we almost didn't make it out," one of the team members said, still shaken. Lin Yu looked around and found that they had entered a new room. The room was filled with strange instruments, and some ancient maps hung on the walls.
Lin Yu stepped forward and carefully examined the maps. He noticed a special location marked on one of them, seemingly related to the key they were looking for. "Everyone, come and look! This place marked on the map might be where the key is hidden," Lin Yu said excitedly. The crowd gathered around, their hopes rekindled as they looked at the mark on the map.
They proceeded cautiously, following the directions marked on the map, fearing they might trigger another trap. Finally, they arrived at a secret chamber. A large symbol was engraved on the door, radiating a mysterious light. Lin Yu inserted the first key into the groove beneath the symbol, and the door slowly opened. What awaited them behind it? Would they be able to find the second key?
