The male protagonist of the book is poisonous

Led by the guardian spirit beast, we walked deeper into the valley. The beast's steps were steady and slow, and the ground seemed to shake slightly with every step.

I said to my friends nervously, "Can this spirit beast really be trusted? Will it lead us into a trap?"

Leng Shuang rolled his eyes at me and said, "We have no choice but to trust it now. Besides, it just got defeated by us, so it shouldn't dare to play any tricks."

Luo Chen also nodded and said: "Leng Shuang is right. For now, we can only follow it, but everyone still needs to remain vigilant."

The woman in white kept staring at the spirit beast and said softly, "I can sense it has no ill intentions. Its spiritual energy fluctuations are very stable, and it doesn't hide any dangerous aura."

As we continued deeper, the valley's spiritual energy grew richer, and the surrounding scenery became more mysterious. Strange flowers and plants shimmered with different colors, as if guiding us. Ancient trees stood tall, the lines on their trunks like ancient text, telling of a long history.

As we walked, we felt an even stronger, mysterious aura rising towards us. This aura was different from the previous spiritual energy; it carried an ancient and profound power, as if concealing a great secret. The spirit beast stopped before a massive stone gate, inscribed with intricate astrological patterns that seemed to have some mysterious connection to the constellations in the sky. The gate was tightly closed, and a faint halo permeated the air, the source of the mysterious aura.

We gathered in front of the stone gate and began looking for the mechanism to open it.

Luo Chen carefully examined the astrological patterns on the stone gate, muttering to himself, "These patterns look familiar, yet somewhat different. What's the key?"

Leng Shuang used her ice-type spiritual power to sense the temperature changes around the stone gate. She said, "I think the mechanism of this stone gate may be related to temperature. Look at this halo, it seems to be maintained by the heat emitted by some spiritual power."

The woman in white closed her eyes and used her spiritual power to search for possible clues behind the stone door. After a while, she opened her eyes and said, "There is a strong spiritual fluctuation behind the stone door. I feel it is closely related to the astrological map, but I don't know how to open the stone door."

I wasn't idle either, searching the ground around the stone door carefully for any hidden buttons or compartments, muttering to myself, "There must be some mechanism on this stone door. Why can't I find it?"

As we searched fruitlessly, I stumbled upon a tiny depression at the base of the stone door. The shape of this depression was quite unusual, resembling the outline of a constellation. I quickly called everyone over and excitedly said, "Look, there's a depression here with a unique shape. Could it be the key to unlocking the stone door?"

Everyone gathered around. Luo Chen squatted down to examine it carefully and said, "This shape is indeed strange, but it will not be easy to find something that matches it to fill this dent. Let's look in our own packages and on our bodies first."

Everyone began searching their packages and possessions. After a while, the woman in white suddenly remembered that in the ancient book we had obtained earlier, there was a page with a similar constellation shape drawn in the corner. She hurriedly pulled the book out of her package, flipped to the page, and excitedly said, "Look, this constellation shape is almost identical to the depression at the bottom of the stone gate."

My eyes lit up. "Then can we use spiritual power to copy the constellation shape on the paper and inject it into the depression?"

Luo Chen nodded: "You can try, I'll go first."

Luo Chen was the first to unleash his spiritual power. He carefully covered the pattern on the ancient book with his spiritual power, slowly outlining the outline of the pattern. As he outlined, he said, "Everyone, be careful. This process cannot be wrong. If the spiritual power gets out of control, all the previous efforts may be wasted."

Then, he slowly pushed the outlined spiritual constellation into the depression at the bottom of the stone gate.

When the spiritual constellation touched the depression, the stone gate emitted a low rumbling sound. The astrological pattern on the stone gate began to spin rapidly, and the light became increasingly dazzling. With a series of "clicks", the stone gate slowly opened. A powerful force surged from the stone gate, pushing us back a few steps.

I exclaimed, “Wow, it’s really open!”

Leng Shuang patted his chest and said, "Fortunately it worked. I was really worried that something might go wrong."

After the power stabilized, we walked into the stone gate with excitement.

Inside the stone gate was a vast hall, its ceiling inlaid with countless glowing gemstones, forming a variety of astrological patterns, like a miniature starry sky. Around the hall were various ancient instruments and stone tablets, each engraved with text and patterns.

I said excitedly, "This place looks so mysterious. The star map must be in here."

Leng Shuang walked towards an instrument that looked like an astrolabe and said, "This astrolabe looks complicated. Perhaps it will hold some clues."

I also walked over to the astrolabe and tried to spin it, saying as I did so, "This astrolabe has many moving parts. I wonder what will happen if I spin it?"

Leng Shuang reminded me from the side: "Be careful, don't move around, it would be bad if you trigger some mechanism."

The woman in white was carefully studying a stone tablet. After a while, she called us over and said, "Look, this stone tablet contains a record of the astrological map. The text is very ancient, but I can probably decipher some of it. The astrological map was once divided into several parts, hidden in different corners of this hall. To find the complete astrological map, we need to solve the puzzles in the hall and find the astrological symbols corresponding to each part."

I felt a little frustrated. "It's so complicated! It won't be easy to find a star map."

Luo Chen encouraged us, saying, "It's okay. Now that we've come this far, we'll definitely find the astrological map. Let's start looking for clues."

We spread out and searched the hall for any trace of the star map.

I continued studying the astrolabe when I suddenly noticed some small symbols on it that looked very similar to the symbols on the stone platform in the center of the hall. I hurriedly called out to Luo Chen, "Luo Chen, come and see! The symbols on this astrolabe seem to be related to the symbols on the stone platform over there."

Luo Chen came over, took a closer look and said, "You're right. This may be the key clue to solving the mystery."

We found a huge circular stone platform in the center of the hall, with some strange symbols and patterns carved on it. These symbols and patterns seemed to have no rules, but we knew it must be a puzzle.

Luo Chen studied the symbols carefully. He frowned and said, "These symbols look complicated, but I just saw something similar on a star chart. I think this puzzle might be related to the arrangement of the stars. I'll try to adjust these symbols according to the arrangement on the star chart."

The woman in white also came over to help. She used her spiritual power to sense the spiritual fluctuations of the symbol on the stone platform. As she sensed it, she said, "The spiritual fluctuations of this symbol are very weak, but it seems to have some connection with the symbol next to it. Luo Chen, you can try to switch the positions of these two symbols."

Leng Shuang and I continued to search for potentially useful information elsewhere in the hall.

I found a small box in a corner with a constellation engraved on it. I called Lengshuang excitedly, "Lengshuang, come and see! I found a box with a constellation engraved on it. Maybe it's related to the puzzle or the astrological map."

Leng Shuang came over, took a look and said, "This pattern looks familiar. I seem to have seen something similar in ancient books. Let's show it to Luo Chen."

We showed the small box to Luo Chen, and his eyes lit up: "This box may be the key to solving the puzzle. Look at this constellation pattern, it is very similar to the constellation corresponding to a certain symbol on the stone platform."

With everyone's joint efforts, Luo Chen finally succeeded in solving the first puzzle. With a slight sound, a secret compartment appeared on the stone platform, and inside the secret compartment was a fragment of a faintly glowing astrological map.

I picked up the fragment excitedly and said, "Great, we finally found part of the star map."

Leng Shuang also smiled and said: "Yes, this is a good start. Next we have to keep working hard and find other fragments."

The woman in white looked at the fragment of the star map and said thoughtfully, "The stars on this fragment look a little incomplete. We need to find other fragments to know what the complete star map looks like. I hope the puzzles later on won't be too difficult."

Luo Chen said firmly: "No matter how difficult the puzzles behind are, we must find all the fragments. This is the purpose of our coming here."

So, with anticipation and fighting spirit, we continued to explore this mysterious hall, looking for clues to the next star map fragment.
