A bed that traverses countless worlds

"Holy crap!" Lin Yu abruptly withdrew his hand, the oppressive feeling from those scarlet eyes making his heart race.

The bed jolted violently, and a system notification sounded: "Unknown energy fluctuation detected. Activating protection mode!" A pale golden light shield instantly enveloped the bed, isolating it from the eerie aura.

Su Yao, still shaken, hid behind Lin Yu and clung tightly to his arm.

"This place is so gloomy and creepy, it's even scarier than my ex-girlfriend's eyes!" Lin Yu complained, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

The system's protective shield gave him confidence, and he manipulated the bed to move slowly forward, entering the depths of the passage.

A strange, intangible power permeated the passage, yet it made their steps heavy and their breathing increasingly difficult.

"This feels...like running a marathon with a heavy load." Lin Yu felt his physical strength rapidly draining away, and this force seemed to be constantly eroding his vitality.

Su Yao's face also turned pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Hold on, we need to find an exit as soon as possible!" Lin Yu gritted his teeth and struggled to move the bed forward.

Suddenly, wisps of black smoke appeared on the walls on both sides of the passage, quickly condensing into ghost-like creatures.

These ghosts were incredibly fast, emitting sharp howls as they pounced on Lin Yu and Su Yao.

"What the hell is this?!" Lin Yu skillfully maneuvered the bed to dodge the ghosts' attacks. Although the system's protective shield could block some of the attacks, there were simply too many ghosts to defend against.

"They're too fast, we can't beat them at all!" Su Yao exclaimed.

Cold sweat broke out on Lin Yu's forehead; the power of these ghosts far surpassed any enemy he had encountered before.

He realized that this time he had really met his match.

"System, is there any way to deal with them?" Lin Yu called out to the system in his mind.

"Unknown creature detected, analyzing... Analysis complete, host is advised to use the 'Soul Impact' skill."

"Soul Impact? I've never used this skill before..." Lin Yu hesitated for a moment, but the situation was critical and he couldn't worry about that now.

"I'll risk it all!" Lin Yu took a deep breath, mobilized the energy within his body, and unleashed a soul strike at the nearest ghost.

An invisible energy wave erupted from Lin Yu, instantly striking the ghost.

The ghost let out a shrill scream, and its body quickly dissipated, turning into a wisp of black smoke.

"It works!" Lin Yu was overjoyed. It seemed that the soul impact was quite powerful.

However, just as he was about to continue his attack, more ghosts emerged from the walls, surrounding him completely...

"This..." Lin Yu's expression changed.

Su Yao gripped his hand tightly, her eyes filled with worry.

"Damn it, Barbie Q is gone!" Lin Yu couldn't help but swear when he saw the densely packed ghosts.

Su Yao was also terrified, her face turning pale, and she clung tightly to his side.

At this critical moment, Lin Yu suddenly noticed that when the system indicator light on the bed flashed, the approaching ghosts seemed to instinctively shrink back, as if they had seen the light.

"Wait, light?" Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that these ghostly things are afraid of light?

He quickly started searching in the system's online store.

"A powerful light orb that dispels darkness and illuminates the path forward... Wow, such a thing really exists!" Lin Yu exchanged for one without hesitation. Although it was a bit expensive, saving his life was the priority right now.

Upon acquiring the Powerful Light Orb, Lin Yu immediately activated it.

In an instant, a dazzling light burst forth from the jewel, illuminating the entire passage and the hideous ghosts.

"Awooo—" The ghosts let out a shrill scream, melting away as quickly as ice and snow meeting the sun, turning into wisps of black smoke and disappearing without a trace.

"Holy crap, it actually works!" Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Su Yao breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes filled with admiration as she looked at Lin Yu: "Lin Yu, you're amazing!"

"It's all thanks to the system, nothing special." Lin Yu waved his hand modestly, but he was secretly overjoyed.

With this radiant pearl, the road ahead will be much easier.

At the end of the passage was a huge stone chamber.

In the center of the stone chamber, there was a treasure chest that emitted a faint glow.

"Holy crap, a treasure chest!" The greedy adventurers' eyes widened, and they rushed forward in a swarm.

"Wait!" The old Dragon King roared, making everyone's eardrums buzz.

"This is the sacred ground of the Dragon Clan, how dare you be so insolent!"

The greedy adventurers immediately stopped in their tracks, no longer daring to go any further.

Lin Yu's eyes lit up; the contents of this treasure chest were definitely extraordinary!

He manipulated the bed, slowly approaching the treasure chest.

The treasure chest was opened, revealing it filled with fragments that shimmered with a strange light.

"This is... a fragment of dragon crystal energy?" Lin Yu was shocked. This was a valuable item!

A treasure that can greatly enhance one's own strength!

"These fragments are mine." Lin Yu's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable firmness.

He reached out and grabbed a handful of shards...

"How dare you!" a dragon knight roared as he charged forward.

Lin Yu grabbed the dragon crystal energy fragment. It felt warm and smooth to the touch, and the powerful energy fluctuations invigorated him.

Seeing Lin Yu's incredible prowess, Su Yao's eyes sparkled. She clung tightly to his arm, wishing she could stick her whole body to him.

Lin Yu sensed her dependence and felt a strong protective instinct rising within him, his boyfriend-like protectiveness overflowing!

"Boy, put down the dragon crystal! Otherwise, you'll taste the wrath of the dragons!" The dragon knight roared, brandishing his longsword and slashing at Lin Yu.

"Tch, you think you can take me on?" Lin Yu maneuvered the bed nimbly to dodge the attack, adding a sarcastic remark, "Are you just tickling me?"

Just then, the greedy adventurers could no longer contain themselves.

"The dragon crystal belongs to everyone! No one can take it all for themselves!" "Charge! Kill them!" These guys were like they were on steroids, charging forward recklessly.

"A bunch of rabble!" Lin Yu sneered, exchanging a glance with the Dragon Princess.

Her Highness understood immediately. With a wave of her slender hand, a dragon-shaped energy wave roared out, blasting away the adventurers who were at the forefront.

Lin Yu wasn't idle either, maneuvering the bed left and right with the agility of an eel, dodging attacks while unleashing skills, practically a human-shaped self-propelled turret.

"Soul Impact! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" "Energy Shield! Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The scene was extremely chaotic, with dust flying everywhere and stones flying all over the place. The surrounding walls were shaken by the aftershocks of the battle, making it look like a demolition was taking place.

The greedy adventurers were beaten so badly they were running for their lives, crying and begging for mercy, all regretting that they had gotten involved in this mess.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Seeing the situation was dire, the remaining adventurers abandoned their armor and fled in disarray.

"Hmph, a bunch of trash!" Lin Yu clapped his hands, looking disdainful.

He walked up to the treasure chest, ready to pocket all the remaining dragon crystal fragments.

However, the moment he opened the treasure chest, a dazzling light shot out from it, pointing directly towards the Dragon Island altar.

Lin Yu and the Dragon Princess looked at each other in bewilderment. What was going on?

"The altar..." the dragon princess murmured to herself, a complex look flashing in her eyes.

Lin Yu manipulated the bed, slowly moving it towards the altar.

“Let’s go take a look,” he said, his tone filled with excitement and anticipation.

The dragon princess followed closely behind; deep within the altar, something seemed to be calling to them…

Lin Yu maneuvered the bed, finally stopping it in front of the altar.

He reached out, wanting to touch the ancient stone tablet...
