Chapter 235 The Secret Behind the Stone Gate
Chen Xian, Yaya and Xiaoshou stood in front of the stone gate, facing this complex pattern. A storm was coming, the dark clouds in the sky were getting denser and denser, and the thunder was getting louder and louder.
"We must solve this puzzle as soon as possible," Chen Xian said, "otherwise when the storm comes, we will be in trouble."
They carefully observed the pattern on the stone door, which was composed of a series of complex symbols and lines, and seemed to depict a maze-like route map. Chen Xian noticed that in the center of the pattern, there was a shape similar to a keyhole.
"This pattern looks like a maze," Chen Xian said. "We need to find the right route."
Yaya also observed the pattern carefully. Suddenly, she noticed a small dot on the edge of the pattern, which was connected to other lines. "Brother, look here, this dot seems to be connected to other lines."
Chen Xian took a closer look and indeed found this point. "You're right, this point might be the starting point. Let's give it a try."
They began to try to press the symbols on the stone door according to the route on the pattern. Every time they pressed the correct symbol, the stone door would make a slight clicking sound, indicating that they were on the right path. After several attempts, the stone door finally slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to the inside.
"We succeeded!" Yaya said excitedly.
They quickly passed through the stone door and entered a spacious cave. There was a passage inside the cave, and there were several oil lamps on both sides of the passage, providing them with enough light. As they went deeper into the passage, the sound of the storm was isolated outside, and they were temporarily safe.
At the end of the passage was a huge cave with a stone platform in the middle of the cave, on which was placed an ancient book. There were some mysterious symbols engraved on the cover of the book, similar to the symbols seen before.
"This book may be the key to solving the mystery," said Chen Xian.
He turned the pages and found that the book recorded some history and legends about this land, as well as some instructions for the trial. On the last page of the book, a passage caught their attention:
> "When the storm comes, the true warriors will find the way to the light."
"What does this mean?" Yaya asked.
Chen Xian thought for a moment and said, “I think this is a hint that we need to find a way out of the storm.”
At this time, the storm outside the cave had reached its climax, with thunder and lightning, wind and rain. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck the top of the cave, and the roof began to collapse, with rocks falling down one after another.
"Run!" Chen Xian shouted loudly.
They quickly ran out along the passage, with Xiaoshou leading the way, and Chen Xian and Yaya following closely behind. Stones kept falling in the passage, and they had to dodge carefully to avoid being hit.
When they ran out of the stone gate, they found that it was completely closed and could not be opened again. They had to find another way out.
Just as they were looking for a way out, the little beast suddenly let out a low growl and pointed its claws at a hidden hole on the side of the cave.
"There's a small hole there." Chen Xian said, "Let's give it a try."
They entered the small hole and found that it was a secret passage leading to the outside of the cave. The passage was narrow, but wide enough for them to pass through. When they finally got out of the cave, the storm had subsided and the first rays of dawn appeared in the sky.
"We're out!" Yaya said excitedly.
They stood outside the cave and spotted a new landmark ahead, a tall tower with a glowing mark on it.
"That mark must be where we are going." Chen Xian said, "Let's go there quickly."
They quickly moved towards the tower, and the scene along the way gradually became clear. When they arrived at the foot of the tower, they found that the door of the tower was closed and there was a complicated mechanism on the door.
"We need to find a way to open this mechanism." Chen Xian said.
They began to carefully observe the mechanism on the door and found several symbols on it, which were very similar to the symbols they had seen before. After some attempts, they finally found the correct combination and the door slowly opened.
"We did it!" Yaya said happily.
They walked into the tower and found a huge room with a glowing platform in the center. Suspended above the platform was a glowing crystal with a circle of symbols around it.
"This crystal should be the key to our completion of the trial." Chen Xian said.
They walked onto the platform, and when Chen Xian touched the crystal, the whole room suddenly glowed with light, and a powerful energy surged out of the crystal, surrounding them. As the light dissipated, they found themselves standing in a completely new place.
