A bed that traverses countless worlds
Chapter 86 The Temple Mystery: Cleverly Unraveling the Mechanism
The passage was far from smooth; after Lin Yu maneuvered the magical bed into it, he discovered that it was practically a maze!
The ice-blue walls are carved with intricate patterns that dazzle the eye.
What's worse, the passageway was dimly lit, almost pitch black. If it weren't for the bed's built-in lighting system, they probably wouldn't have been able to tell which way was which.
"Damn, what kind of place is this? It's even darker than my basement!" Kong Yang complained.
"Shh, keep your voice down!" Lin Yu warned. "There are traps everywhere here, be careful not to trigger them."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a "click" was heard, and a sharp ice pick fell from the sky, grazing the edge of the bed.
"Holy crap! That scared me to death!" Kong Yang exclaimed. "That was so exciting!"
The Nordic warrior scoffed, "Coward! You're so afraid of such a small thing."
"If you're so good, then you do it!" Kong Yang retorted defiantly. "Or you can turn on the bed?"
Lin Yu sighed and rubbed his forehead: "Alright, enough talk. The most important thing now is to find the right path."
They moved forward cautiously, each step as if walking on thin ice.
The passageway was filled with various traps, including crossbows that shot ice arrows, ice spikes that suddenly emerged from the ground, and rotating blades hidden in the walls.
"This is practically a death maze!" Kong Yang couldn't help but complain. "That Ice Priest is just too insidious!"
Just then, they arrived at a spacious hall.
In the center of the hall is a huge circular platform, surrounded by eight icicles.
"What kind of mechanism is this?" the Norse warrior asked in confusion.
Lin Yu observed carefully and found that each icicle was engraved with different symbols.
"These symbols should be some kind of clue."
"A hint? What hint?" Kong Yang was completely bewildered.
Lin Yu pondered for a moment, then pointed to one of the icicles and said, "Look at this symbol, doesn't it look like the Chinese character for 'person'?"
The Norse warrior leaned closer for a look, and indeed it resembled it. "So what?"
"What if we connect the symbols on the eight icicles together?" Lin Yu smiled mysteriously.
The Nordic warriors and Kong Yang were completely bewildered, not understanding Lin Yu's meaning at all.
Lin Yu did not explain, but instead manipulated the bed, touching the symbols on the ice pillars in the order he had deduced.
"Are you insane!" the Norse warrior roared. "What if we trigger a trap?"
However, nothing happened.
Just as the Norse warriors were about to mock Lin Yu, the circular platform in the center of the hall suddenly began to rotate, revealing an entrance leading downwards.
"Looks like my guess was right." Lin Yu smiled smugly. "Let's go down and take a look."
Just then, one of the icicles suddenly made a "click" sound...
With a "click," an ice spike shot out, heading straight for Lin Yu's bed!
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yu reacted swiftly, maneuvering the bed in a sharp turn, barely dodging the attack.
"Holy crap, this is too insidious!" Kong Yang was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
The Norse warriors' expressions changed as well; the way the mechanism was triggered was completely unexpected.
Lin Yu narrowed his eyes, staring at the ice pillar from which the ice spike shot out, a smile playing on his lips.
“I think I’ve discovered something…” He pointed to a barely perceptible scratch on the icicle. “Look, isn’t this scratch slightly different from the ones on the other icicles?”
"That's it?" The Norse warrior scoffed. "What does that prove?"
"Intuition." Lin Yu smiled, but his tone was unusually firm.
"Trust me." Ignoring the Norse warriors' objections, he maneuvered the bed closer to the icicle and gently touched the tiny scratch with the edge of the bed.
The hall was silent; everyone held their breath, awaiting the danger that might follow.
However, several seconds passed, and nothing happened.
Just as everyone was puzzled, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the entrance of the previously closed passage.
"It's done!" Lin Yu excitedly pumped his fist. "I knew it!"
With a sound, the entrance to the passage slowly opened, revealing a path leading downwards.
The dangerous atmosphere that had been permeating the air dissipated, replaced by a relaxed and pleasant one.
"Awesome, Brother Yu!" Kong Yang jumped up excitedly. "How did you find that out?"
"Hehe, it's a secret that can't be revealed." Lin Yu smiled mysteriously.
Even the Nordic warriors, who had always been skeptical of Lin Yu, had to admire his observation and judgment.
"It seems that I underestimated you."
Lin Yu cast a grateful glance at Kong Yang; his brother's support filled his heart with warmth.
He maneuvered the bed, slowly moving it towards the entrance of the passage.
"Let's go, let's keep moving forward!"
Just as they were about to enter the passage, Lin Yu suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed intently on the depths of the passage...
"and many more."
Deep within the passage, a ghostly blue light flickered intermittently, as if lurking with unknown dangers.
Lin Yu's premonition was correct. The moment they entered the passage, a series of cracking sounds rang out, the ground split open, and a group of small ice golems broke out of the ice, surging towards them like a tide.
"Holy crap! This Ice Priest is serious!" Kong Yang exclaimed, grabbing his weapon to prepare for battle.
Although these ice golems are not individually strong, their sheer number makes them a formidable force, their dense, overwhelming presence causing one's scalp to tingle.
"Don't panic!" Lin Yu calmly commanded, "Kong Yang, you're in charge of the left side. Nordic strongman, the right side is yours! Remember, these ice golems are vulnerable to impacts. Use the terrain to your advantage and make them fight each other!"
Lin Yu skillfully maneuvered the magical bed to dodge attacks while simultaneously directing his teammates in battle.
He was observant and attentive, like a seasoned commander, and had complete control over the battlefield situation.
The ice golems collided with each other, shattering into ice shards, creating a chaotic yet comical scene.
Just when they thought victory was in their grasp, an unexpected change occurred!
The Ice Priest's voice echoed through the hall: "Foolish mortals, thinking you can break my mechanism like this? How naive!" As soon as he finished speaking, the mechanism that had been broken was activated again, and the walls on both sides of the passage began to squeeze in, as if to crush them into meat patties!
"Holy crap! This old witch is cheating!" Kong Yang exclaimed.
The Norse warrior's expression changed drastically; this sudden turn of events caught him off guard.
However, Lin Yu smiled.
"Interesting. It seems this is the real test." His gaze swept quickly across the surrounding environment, his brain racing, searching for a solution.
He suddenly noticed that some small cracks had appeared on the ground as the wall was being squeezed.
"Let's take a gamble!" Lin Yu maneuvered the bed toward one of the cracks.
"Are you crazy?!" the Norse warrior shouted. "It's too dangerous there!"
Lin Yu ignored it and manipulated the bed to precisely wed it into the crack. Just as the wall was about to close, the crack suddenly widened, forming a new passage!
The Ice Priestess's voice was filled with disbelief: "This... how is this possible?!"
Lin Yu maneuvered the bed into the new passage, turned back and smiled slightly at the stunned crowd: "I have a brilliant plan."
At the end of the passage was a huge stone gate, covered with mysterious runes, exuding an ancient and powerful aura.
"What... could be behind this?" Lin Yu murmured to himself, reaching out and slowly touching the stone door...
