Chapter 234 Trial in the Ruins
When Chen Xian, Yaya and Xiaoshou arrived at the ancient ruins on the top of the mountain, they found that it was a large and complex complex consisting of stone buildings and tunnels. There were some strange statues and stone tablets scattered around the ruins, which were engraved with mysterious symbols.
"It looks like no one has been here for a long time." Chen Xian said, "We have to be careful."
They began to explore the ruins, with Xiaoshou exploring the way ahead, and Chen Xian and Yaya following closely behind. As they went deeper into the ruins, the surrounding environment became darker and darker, and the air became more and more humid. Occasionally, some glowing moss could be seen on the wall, providing them with some weak light.
When they were walking through a narrow corridor, suddenly, the floor began to shake, and rows of sharp metal spikes protruded from the ground. Chen Xian was quick to pull Yaya aside and nimbly jumped to the side.
"There is a trap!" Chen Xian reminded loudly.
The little animal immediately became alert and let out a low growl, as if warning of something.
"We have to be careful of these traps," Yaya said, "There may be more."
They continued forward cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution. In the next few rooms, they encountered various traps, including boulders falling from the ceiling, darts shooting from the walls, and sinkholes that suddenly opened.
While dodging a dart, Chen Xian discovered an inconspicuous button in a corner. He tried to press it, and found that all the mechanisms in the room were temporarily shut down.
"It seems that these mechanisms can be disabled." Chen Xian said, "We need to find the mechanism that controls them."
They began to look through each room carefully, looking for possible clues. In a larger room, they found a complex device with many buttons and levers.
"This device looks like the center that controls the entire ruins mechanism." Chen Xian said, "We need to find the correct way to operate it."
After some research, Chen Xian found that the symbols on the device were similar to those he had seen in the underground space before. They tried to press the buttons in the order of the symbols on the map, and found that the device began to make a slight sound, and then the mechanism of the entire room was closed.
"Success!" Yaya said excitedly, "We can pass."
They successfully passed through the area with many traps and came to the center of the ruins. Here was a spacious hall with a huge stone sculpture in the center, on which a complex pattern was engraved.
Just as they were about to explore further, suddenly, the walls of the hall began to slowly close, trapping them in a small space. Chen Xian immediately realized that this was a new challenge.
"We must find an exit." Chen Xian said, "Otherwise we will be trapped here."
They began to look around carefully, looking for a possible way out. At this moment, the little beast suddenly let out a low growl and pointed its claws at a certain part of the stone sculpture.
"There's something wrong there." Chen Xian said, "Let's go take a look."
They approached the stone sculpture and found a groove on it, the shape of which matched the crystal they had found earlier. Chen Xian put the crystal into the groove, and with a slight click, the movement of the four walls of the hall suddenly stopped, and then a secret door opened on the ground in the center of the hall.
"It seems we have found a way out." said Chen Xian.
They went down the stairs under the secret door and finally came to a hidden basement. Here was a huge underground lake with an ancient ship floating on the lake.
"It seems we need to continue on by boat." Chen Xian said, "There may be more clues on the boat."
They boarded the boat and found a control device on it. Chen Xian activated the device, and the boat slowly sailed away from the lake shore and headed towards a small island in the center of the lake.
When they arrived at the island, they found a huge stone gate with a complex pattern engraved on it, which seemed to contain the code to open the stone gate.
"We need to solve this puzzle," Chen Xian said, "so that we can move forward."
They began to study the patterns on the stone door, trying to find a way to solve the puzzle. At this moment, a low thunder suddenly came from the sky, and a storm was about to come.
"We have to hurry." Yaya said, "Otherwise we will be in trouble."
