Chapter 888: Finding the Key in the Stone Gate to Hidden Mystery(2/2)
"Yes, as long as we work together, nothing can be solved." Zhang Langzhong responded in a deep voice, and a rare smile appeared on his face.
The emotions of the crowd infected the entire space, and the originally depressed atmosphere gradually became brighter.
Runes on the stone walls flashed in the light, as if cheering for their progress.
Everyone's face was filled with a confident smile, and they celebrated each other, as if they had seen the dawn of hope.
The man in white finally walked to the stone gate. He took a deep breath and slowly inserted the key into the keyhole.
At that moment, time seemed to have frozen.
Everyone held their breath, and the sound of heartbeat echoed in their ears, as if even the air became nervous.
The man in white turned the key hard, and a slight sound came from the stone door, as if some mechanism was being touched.
At this moment, the man in white suddenly turned around and smiled meaningfully to everyone: "Are you ready? Remember, no matter what happens, we will be together." The key was inserted into the keyhole and turned. The expected sound of the heavy stone door opening did not appear. Instead, a sharp alarm sound broke through the silence and echoed in the stone chamber.
This sudden change made everyone's hearts tight, and the expression that was originally expected was instantly frozen, replaced by surprise and uneasiness.
On the stone walls around the stone gate, the originally carved ancient patterns suddenly lit up a dazzling red light, spreading like blood vessels.
Immediately afterwards, a "crack" mechanical operation sounded, and the stone wall began to move and deform. Some strange-shaped mechanical devices extended out of the stone wall, flashing with cold light, aiming at everyone.
"What's going on?!" Luo Xiaoyu exclaimed, retreated, and almost knocked down Doctor Zhang behind her.
"Be careful!" The man in white pulled Xiaohong behind him, and glanced at the surrounding mechanical devices with vigilance.
These devices suddenly awaken like a sleeping giant beast, spitting flames, shooting sharp arrows, or waving sharp blades, launching fierce attacks on everyone.
Fires flew everywhere in the stone chamber, arrows broke through the air, and blades waved, and the originally silent space instantly turned into a battlefield full of dangers.
Everyone was horrified and hid everywhere.
The flames burned the air and made a crackling sound; the arrows shot into the stone wall, making a dull impact; the blades cut through the air and made a sharp whistling sound.
Various sounds intertwined to form a chaotic symphony of death.
"What the hell are these?!" Luo Xiaoyu hid in a mess and cursed loudly.
"I don't know, but we must find a way to stop them!" Zhang Langzhong shouted anxiously while dodging.
The attacks of these mechanical devices are irregular and extremely fast, so everyone cannot get close to the stone gate, let alone find a way to stop the attack.
The feeling of danger is getting stronger and stronger, as if the god of death is approaching step by step.
"If this continues, we will be trapped here!" Li Lieun's voice trembled. He had never seen such a terrible scene before.
Everyone was forced to the corner, the attacks of mechanical devices became increasingly dense, and the hope of escaping became increasingly slim.
At this critical moment, the man in white suddenly shouted: "Be careful, everyone!"
Inside the stone chamber, crisis surged like a tide.
The figure of the mechanical puppet is like a ghost, flickering in the fire.
They waved their metal arms, and each impact was filled with terrifying power.
Everyone was swept away ruthlessly like fallen leaves in the storm, in a mess.
Their eyes were filled with horror, and they looked around in panic, trying to find a trace of corners to hide.
On the stone wall, the holes left by arrows were densely packed, and the air was filled with the harsh sound of metal friction and the roar of stone shattering, making the eardrums buzz.
Each attack is accompanied by a strong airflow, as if it is about to tear apart the person apart. The tense atmosphere is like a tense string and may break at any time.
Xiaohong curled up in the corner of the stone chamber, her body trembling like a sieve. She covered her mouth tightly, for fear that a slight sound would attract those terrible mechanical puppets.
Her eyes were wide open, and those hideous metal figures reflected in her pupils.
Seeing this, the man in white frowned and shouted loudly. The powerful magic power surged out from all over him and turned into dazzling light blades, shooting towards the mechanical puppet.
However, these light blades hit the mechanical golems, leaving only shallow scratches on their metal surfaces, without causing substantial damage to them.
The mechanical puppet was still like a ruthless killing machine, without any intention of stopping, but instead attacked more violently, forcing everyone into a narrower corner.
"Are we really going to die here?" Luo Xiaoyu whispered in despair, his voice full of reluctance.
Li Huowen roared, waved the hunting knife in his hand, and rushed towards a mechanical puppet.
However, he didn't even touch the edge of the mechanical puppet, but was knocked away by a powerful force and fell heavily to the ground, and a muffled pain came from his chest.
Everyone's faces were full of despair. At this moment, Elder Chen narrowed his eyes. He stared at the actions of the mechanical puppets, as if he had discovered some clues. Everyone around him held their breath nervously, waiting for Elder Chen's conclusion. His old face was full of solemnity.
The air seemed to have solidified, and everyone did not dare to come out, waiting for Elder Chen to speak. At this moment, Elder Chen slowly spoke, "The actions of these puppets..."
Before Elder Chen could finish his words, he suddenly stopped. He stared at a part of the mechanical puppet, as if there was something different there.
The harsh sound of metal collisions echoed in the stone chamber like the whisper of the god of death.
The mechanical puppet's offensive became more and more fierce, and each swing was filled with the sound of breaking through the air, leaving sharp trajectories in the air.
Many people have new scars on their bodies, their blood dyes red, and their physical strength is being consumed sharply.
The sentiment of despair spreads among the crowd like a plague, and everyone's eyes are filled with helplessness.
Luo Xiaoyu waved her short sword and tried hard to block the attack of the mechanical puppet, but her wounds became more and more, and her movements began to slow down.
Finally, she staggered and was knocked away by a mechanical puppet, hitting the hard stone wall, spewing out a mouthful of blood, slowly slid to the ground, losing consciousness.
Everyone exclaimed and quickly surrounded him. The atmosphere suddenly became depressed, and everyone's face was full of worries.
Doctor Zhang quickly checked Luo Xiaoyu's injuries and found that she was unconscious, her face was as pale as paper, her breath was weak, and her injuries were very serious.
Xiaohong looked at Luo Xiaoyu who was unconscious and tears could no longer help but burst out from her eyes. She bit her lips tightly, not letting herself cry, but the hot tears still slid down her cheeks and dripped on the cold stone slab, silently telling her sadness and despair.
She held Luo Xiaoyu's hand tightly, felt her faint pulse, and her heart was filled with powerlessness and self-blame.
