Chapter 31 - Chapter 31: Challenge behind the mysterious portal

After the protagonist team experienced an attack from a powerful enemy, they were temporarily trapped in a mysterious underground world. They sat together nervously, discussing their next course of action.

Lin Yu frowned and said solemnly: "This place is full of unknown dangers. We must find a way out as soon as possible."

Su Yao nodded slightly, with firmness in her eyes: "Yes, we can't sit still and wait for death. But before we act, we need to understand the situation in this place."

Liu Hao pushed up his glasses, looked at the detection equipment in his hand and said, "The energy fluctuations here are very strong. There may be something we didn't expect."

Xiao Zhang scratched his head and said with some worry: "Then what should we do? That powerful enemy may break out of the trap at any time and attack us again."

Xiao Li said optimistically: "Don't be so pessimistic, we will definitely find a way. Maybe there are some treasures here!"

Xiao Wang glanced at Xiao Li helplessly: "What time has it been, and you are still thinking about the treasure. Our first task now is to find a way out and leave this place."

While everyone was arguing, a strange sound was suddenly heard. Everyone suddenly became nervous, picked up their weapons, and observed the surrounding environment vigilantly.

"What's the sound? Could it be that the enemy is chasing me again?" Xiao Zhang said nervously.

Lin Yu made a silence gesture to signal everyone to quiet down. They listened carefully to the source of the sound and found that it came from a dark corner.

Su Yao walked cautiously in the direction of the sound, holding a flashlight in her hand to illuminate the road ahead. Others followed closely behind her, ready to deal with possible dangers.

As they approached the corner, they discovered a strange device. The device emits a faint glow and is covered with intricate symbols and patterns.

"What is this?" Xiao Li asked curiously.

Liu Hao observed the device carefully and said, "It looks like an ancient mechanism. Maybe it can help us find a way out."

Lin Yu thought for a moment and said, "Let's study this mechanism first and see what it does."

As a result, everyone began to conduct research around this agency. During the course of their research, they discovered that this mechanism seemed to require a specific password to activate.

"What can we do? We don't know the password." Xiao Wang said with some frustration.

Su Yao was not discouraged. She said, "We can look for clues from the surrounding environment. Maybe the password is hidden somewhere in this underground world."

Everyone felt that Su Yao's words made sense, so they began to look for clues around them. In the process of searching for clues, some interesting things also happened.

Xiao Zhang found some strange symbols on a wall, and he said excitedly: "Look, there are clues here!"

However, when everyone gathered around to take a look, they found that the symbols were incomprehensible at all. Xiao Li smiled and joked: "You call this a clue? This is clearly just scribbling."

Xiao Zhang said unconvinced: "What do you know? This may be an ancient writing. We need to study it carefully."

As a result, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li started another debate about the meaning of symbols. Lin Yu and Su Yao looked at them helplessly, and then continued to look for clues.

After some efforts, they finally found an ancient book in a corner. This book contains some information about this underground world, as well as the password to activate the mechanism.

"Great, we finally found the password!" Xiao Wang said excitedly.

Everyone quickly returned to the agency and entered the password into the agency according to the password in the book. With a slight vibration, the mechanism started to activate, and a ray of light shot out from the mechanism, illuminating the road ahead.

"It seems we have found the right one." Lin Yu said.

They followed the path illuminated by the light and discovered a passage leading to the upper levels. Everyone was ecstatic and walked towards the passage.

However, when they reached the entrance of the passage, they found that the passage was blocked by a huge stone.

"What can we do? How can we remove this stone?" Xiao Zhang said helplessly.

Liu Hao looked at the surrounding environment and said, "We can use some tools to try to remove this stone."

So, everyone began to look around for tools that could be used to move stones. In the process of looking for tools, Xiao Li made another joke. He found a stick and thought he could use it to move the stone, but the stick broke.

"Oops, I'm too strong." Xiao Li said awkwardly.

Everyone was amused by Xiao Li's appearance. Although they encountered some difficulties, they did not give up. Eventually, they found some suitable tools and succeeded in dislodging the stone and gaining access to the passage.

There was a mysterious atmosphere in the passage, and a faint light shone on the walls. They moved forward cautiously, not knowing what dangers awaited them ahead.

After walking for a while, they came to a fork in the road. There are two roads at the fork in the road, one looks wider and the other is narrower.

"Which way should we go?" Xiao Wang asked.

Lin Yu thought for a moment and said, "Let's observe the situation of the two roads first and then make a decision."

They walked towards two roads respectively. After observing for a while, they found that the wider road seemed safer, but there were no clues. The narrow road may look a bit dangerous, but there may be more discoveries.

"I think we should take the narrow road." Su Yao said.

Xiao Zhang said with some worry: "That road looks very dangerous. What if there are any traps?"

But Xiao Li said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of? There are so many of us, are we afraid that we can't deal with some traps?"

After some discussion, everyone finally decided to take the narrow path. They walked carefully into the narrow passage, always alert.

The passage was very narrow and they could only move forward one by one. As they moved forward, they discovered some strange patterns carved on the walls, which seemed to tell an ancient story.

"These patterns are so mysterious, I don't know what they mean." Xiao Wang said curiously.

Liu Hao observed the patterns carefully and said, "These patterns may be a clue. We need to study them carefully."

So everyone started studying the patterns on the walls. During the research process, they discovered that these patterns seemed to be related to the secrets of ancient books.

"It seems we are on the right track." Lin Yu said.

Just as they were immersed in the joy of studying the patterns, they suddenly heard a slight sound. Everyone suddenly became nervous, stopped what they were doing, and observed the surrounding environment vigilantly.

"What's the sound? Is there any danger?" Xiao Zhang said nervously.

They listened carefully to the source of the sound and found that the sound came from deep in the passage. Lin Yu signaled everyone to quiet down, and then slowly walked in the direction of the sound.

As they approached the source of the sound, they discovered a hidden room. The room exudes a mysterious atmosphere and contains some ancient items.

"What is this place?" Xiao Li asked curiously.

Liu Hao walked into the room, carefully observed the items inside, and said, "These items look very valuable and may be related to the secrets of ancient books."

Lin Yu nodded and said, "Let's check these items carefully to see if there are any clues."

Everyone began to carefully check the items in the room. During the inspection, they discovered an ancient diary. The diary contains some important information about the secrets of ancient books.

"Great, we finally found some useful clues." Xiao Wang said excitedly.

Just as they were about to continue studying the diary, they suddenly heard footsteps. Everyone suddenly became nervous and took up weapons to prepare for possible dangers.

"Someone is coming!" Xiao Zhang said nervously.

They hid in the corner of the room and nervously observed the situation outside. I saw a figure walking in from the passage. This person was wearing a black robe and a mask on his face. He looked very mysterious.

"Who is this person? Why is he here?" Xiao Li asked curiously.

Lin Yu made a silence gesture to signal everyone to stop talking. They quietly observed the actions of this mysterious man.

The mysterious man walked into the room, seemingly looking for something. He walked around the room and stopped at where they were hiding.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats, wondering if this mysterious man would find them. At this moment, the mysterious man suddenly spoke.

"Come out, I know you are here." The mysterious man's voice was low and hoarse.

Everyone reluctantly came out of the hiding place and looked at the mysterious man nervously. Lin Yu said calmly: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The mysterious man smiled and said: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you shouldn't come here. This place is full of dangers, and you'd better leave as soon as possible."

Xiao Zhang said unconvinced: "We are not afraid of danger! We are here to unlock the secrets of ancient books."

The mysterious man shook his head and said: "The secrets of the ancient books cannot be easily solved by you. You will only bring danger to yourself."

Xiao Li asked curiously: "Then do you know what the secret of the ancient books is?"

The mysterious man was silent for a moment and said: "The secrets of the ancient books involve a huge conspiracy. If you continue to explore, you may fall into danger that you cannot extricate yourself from."

After hearing what the mysterious man said, everyone was filled with doubts. They don't know whether what the mysterious man said is true or false, but they also realize that the secrets of the ancient books may be more complicated and dangerous than they imagined.

Lin Yu thought for a moment and said, "We will not give up easily. We must unlock the secrets of the ancient books, no matter what the cost."

The mysterious man looked at them with a complicated look in his eyes. Then he turned and left the room, disappearing into the depths of the passage.

Everyone looked at the mysterious man's back and felt uneasy in their hearts. They don't know who this mysterious man is or why he's here. But they know that their path of exploration is still full of unknown dangers.

At this time, Lin Yu's eyes fell on the strange device again. There was something in his mind that this device might have other uses.

Lin Yu walked to the device and observed it carefully. The symbols and patterns on the installation seemed to glow faintly, as if calling him.

Lin Yu hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and gently touched the device. Suddenly, the device emitted a burst of intense light, shrouding Lin Yu in it.

Everyone was startled by this sudden scene. Xiao Zhang said nervously: "Lin Yu, are you okay?"

Lin Yu didn't answer. His eyes became a little blurred, as if he was in a strange state.

In the light, Lin Yu seemed to see some ancient scenes. In these images, there are mysterious rituals, powerful forces and endless secrets. However, there seem to be some vague figures looming in the picture, making it difficult to see their faces and purposes.

After a while, the light gradually disappeared, and Lin Yu also regained consciousness. There was a look of surprise on his face.

"I seem to have seen some clues about the secrets of ancient books." Lin Yu said.

Everyone became excited and gathered around to ask. Lin Yu described what he saw, and everyone began to discuss the meaning of these clues.

"It seems that this device is really not simple." Su Yao said.

Liu Hao also nodded: "We need to study this device carefully. Maybe it can help us unlock the secrets of ancient books."

So, everyone started researching around the device again. In the process, they discovered that the installation seemed to resonate with some of the objects in their hands. But every time the resonance was about to become clear, there would be some strange interference, leaving them unsure of what the resonance meant.

"What's going on?" Xiao Wang asked curiously.

Lin Yu thought for a moment and said: "Perhaps there is some connection between these objects and devices, but there is a mysterious force that prevents us from fully understanding this connection. We must be cautious and continue to explore to see if we can find it." Ways to break the suspense."

Everyone followed Lin Yu's suggestion and moved the items in their hands closer to the device. Sure enough, the device glowed again and displayed some new symbols and patterns. But these symbols and patterns are still full of mystery and elusive.

"These symbols and patterns must have some special meaning." Su Yao said.

They began to carefully study these new symbols and patterns, hoping to find more clues about the secrets of ancient books. But the suspense brought about by this mysterious device is like a fog, shrouding their path of exploration.

In this journey full of mystery and challenges, Lin Yu, Su Yao, Liu Hao and their team will continue to move forward hand in hand, working hard to uncover the secrets of ancient books. They believe that as long as everyone works together, they will be able to overcome all difficulties and achieve their goals.
