A bed that traverses countless worlds

The moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, and the dilapidated castle resembled a lurking beast, quietly waiting for its prey to approach.

Lin Yu took a deep breath and stepped into the castle gate first.

Behind them, Su Yao, Alice, and Kong Yang followed closely, while Aisha and Bella followed at the back, looking slightly nervous. The old craftsman walked slowly in the middle of the group, seemingly indifferent to everything.

The castle was dark and gloomy inside, with a musty smell of decay permeating the air, as if it were formed from the dust of history.

The group felt as if they were in a giant maze, with strange "creaking" and "clicking" sounds constantly ringing in their ears, like something creeping silently in the darkness, sending chills down their spines.

"Holy crap, this place is way too eerie!" Kong Yang couldn't help but mutter under his breath. His voice echoed in the empty castle, sounding particularly abrupt.

Although Alice appeared calm, she gripped her staff tightly and her eyes became serious.

Aisha clung tightly to Bella's clothes, her face filled with unease.

Bella appeared calm on the surface, but her occasional glances at Lin Yu revealed a clear hint of dependence.

Lin Yu walked at the front, the crystal in his hand emitting a faint light, illuminating the path beneath his feet.

He carefully observed his surroundings, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

"Everyone be careful, this place might not be simple," Lin Yu whispered a warning.

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of "click-clack" sounds suddenly came from deep within the castle, like the sound of gears turning.

The ground began to shake. Before anyone could react, they saw countless black holes appear in the wall, and a dense barrage of arrows shot out like a torrential rain.

"Holy crap! What's going on?!" Kong Yang exclaimed, quickly hiding behind a pillar.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way quickly!" Su Yao shouted as she brandished her short sword.

Arrows rained down like a sudden downpour, striking the walls and the ground with loud thuds.

Everyone panicked and scattered, creating a chaotic scene.

Bella was so startled that she screamed and fell to the ground.

"Calm down! Everyone calm down! Don't panic!" Lin Yu's voice clearly reached everyone's ears, carrying a reassuring power.

He quickly scanned the surroundings, his gaze locking onto a relatively safe corner, and then commanded, "Kong Yang, you take Aisha and Bella and hide over there! Su Yao, you and Alice provide cover in front. Old Craftsman, see if you can find any mechanisms!"

Just as everyone was moving to a new position in an orderly manner according to Lin Yu's command, an arrow suddenly grazed Bella's arm, tearing her clothes and leaving a bloody mark.

Bella's eyes widened in horror, and she screamed.

Seeing this, Lin Yu's eyes sharpened instantly, and he roared, "Everyone, get out of the way!"

"Lin Yu, be careful!" Su Yao cried out in alarm when she saw Lin Yu rushing towards the densest part of the arrow rain.

But Lin Yu did not respond. He simply looked determined and walked straight into the depths of the castle, disappearing into the darkness.

He left behind a group of terrified people, wondering what he was up to...

Lin Yu moved with the agility of a cheetah, weaving through the dense rain of arrows. Every dodge was incredibly precise, as if he had anticipated the trajectory of the arrows.

He quickly approached the location of the mechanism. His eyes narrowed, and his hands fumbled along the wall like butterflies flitting among flowers. In a few breaths, he found the mechanism, twisted it hard, and the mechanism was shut down.

"Click!" The mechanism stopped turning, the rain of arrows vanished instantly, and the entire castle fell silent once more.

The crowd looked at each other in disbelief.

The mechanism that had just kept them busy and flustered was solved by Lin Yu with such ease?

"Holy crap! Lin Yu, you're amazing!" Kong Yang was the first to react, giving Lin Yu a thumbs up with admiration. "You managed to do that? You're practically cheating!"

Su Yao and Alice nodded in agreement, while Aisha clapped her hands excitedly, her eyes filled with admiration.

Even the usually aloof Alice had a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, revealing a rare smile.

The old craftsman squinted, looking Lin Yu up and down, seemingly gaining a new understanding of the young man.

Bella felt a little uneasy seeing everyone's praise for Lin Yu.

She had originally wanted to use this crisis to show off in front of Lin Yu, but Lin Yu ignored her and let other women steal the spotlight instead. How could she accept this?

However, just as everyone relaxed their guard slightly, Su Yao suddenly groaned, clutched her arm, and showed a pained expression on her face.

"What's wrong, Su Yao?" Lin Yu quickly stepped forward and asked with concern.

"It's nothing. I just got cut by a shard while dodging." Su Yao forced a smile, but fine beads of sweat had already formed on her forehead.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yu immediately took out a first-aid kit and carefully bandaged Su Yao's wound.

His movements were gentle and meticulous, as if he were handling a precious work of art.

Su Yao watched as Lin Yu carefully treated her wounds.

Aisha and Alice, who were standing nearby, looked on with envy at the sight.

Bella gritted her teeth inwardly, feeling even more displeased.

"Alright." Lin Yu looked up and smiled gently at Su Yao. "Be more careful next time."

Su Yao nodded, her cheeks slightly flushed, like a flower bud about to bloom.

Just then, Bella suddenly clutched her chest and said in a soft voice, "Ouch, I think I'm hurt too, my chest hurts so much..."

As soon as Bella finished speaking, everyone turned to look at her with concern.

Lin Yu frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping over Bella, and he instantly saw through her little trick.

He chuckled softly, a hint of teasing in his eyes, and said, "Bella, don't rush, I'll take a look at you in a bit."

Bella felt a pang of annoyance when she saw that Lin Yu hadn't fallen for her trick, but she still managed a forced smile and whispered, "Okay... okay, Lin Yu, I'll wait for you."

Lin Yu nodded, then turned to the old craftsman and said, "Old craftsman, do you have any way of finding the energy source inside the castle? There's definitely something fishy going on here."

The old craftsman squinted and nodded, tilting his head as he said, "Hmm, I can give it a try. However, it may take some time."

"Okay, go ahead, we'll wait for you here," Lin Yu said in a deep voice.

The old craftsman nodded and walked alone into the depths of the castle.

Lin Yu turned to Bella, smiled gently at her, and said, "Bella, go and help Aisha and Alice organize the supplies, and also take stock of the remaining supplies."

Bella's face immediately turned ugly upon hearing this.

She originally thought she could take this opportunity to show off, but instead she was told to do such trivial things.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she nodded helplessly and turned to walk towards Aisha and Alice.

Aisha and Alice looked at Bella's somewhat stiff back and couldn't help but give Lin Yu a thumbs up.

Kong Yang chuckled and whispered, "Lin Yu, you made a decisive move, directly exposing that little fox's true form!"

Lin Yu smiled slightly, signaling Kong Yang to keep his voice down.

Just then, the old craftsman emerged from the depths of the castle, holding a crystal stone that emitted a faint glow.

"Found it! This seems to be the core energy source of the castle." The old craftsman's voice carried a hint of excitement. "However, this thing is somewhat unstable and needs to be handled with care."

Lin Yu took the crystal, examined it carefully, nodded, and said, "Leave it to me, I'll find a way to stabilize it."

He placed the crystal into a special device in his hand and skillfully manipulated it with his fingers.

After a short while, the light from the crystal gradually stabilized, and the surrounding air began to warm up.

The chilly atmosphere inside the castle gradually dissipated, replaced by a vibrant warmth.

"We did it!" Kong Yang shouted excitedly, and everyone cheered.

Lin Yu looked up and gazed into the distance.

He took a deep breath and said firmly, "There's still a lot we need to do..."

Suddenly, Lin Yu's gaze fell on a strange pattern on the ground. He frowned slightly, as if he had discovered something.

He bent down, observed carefully, and a bold guess formed in his mind...
