Chapter 136
"Then you lead the way quickly!" Charlotte said.
Noah led Charlotte around the monsters and came to a high ground by the lake. On the high ground, they found a huge stone pillar with a line of poetry engraved on it:
"There is a high ground in the Lake of Death, with stone pillars leading out of the mist. Recite the verses on the stone pillars and cross the lake without worries."
"Great!"Noah said excitedly,"We just need to recite the poem, and we can safely pass through the Lake of Death."
Charlotte nodded in agreement, and the two recited the poem in unison:"Crossing the Lake of Death, walking in the fog without fear. The monsters scatter at the news, and we arrive safely on the other side."
As the poem was recited, the monsters on the lake gradually retreated, and a white mist rose from the lake, wrapping the two people. They felt their bodies become light, as if floating in the air, slowly flying to the other side of the lake.
Soon, they successfully crossed the Lake of Death and came to the entrance of Stonehenge. There was a stone door at the entrance, and a line of poetry was engraved on the stone door:
"The huge stone array is like a chessboard, a maze that is difficult to find. If you can solve the puzzle, the exit will appear before your eyes."
"It seems that this stone door requires us to solve a puzzle."Noah said,"Charlotte, do you have any ideas?"
"This puzzle may require some wisdom and strategy."Charlotte thought and said,"We can try to analyze the poem and see if we can find any clues."
"The huge stone array is like a chessboard, and the maze is so complicated that it is hard to find the way. If you can solve the puzzle of the chessboard, the exit will be right in front of you."Noah repeated this line of poetry and fell into deep thought.
"These poems provide us with several clues, Charlotte said thoughtfully,"First, the array of stones is like a chessboard, which means we need to find the answer in Stonehenge. Secondly, the maze is difficult to find, which seems to imply that we need to solve a maze puzzle. Finally, the exit is right in front of us, which means that as long as we solve the puzzle, the exit is right in front of us."
"That sounds reasonable. Noah nodded in agreement,"Then let's start solving this puzzle."
The two entered Stonehenge and saw countless huge stones standing around, forming a complex maze. They began to look for clues everywhere, but the path of the maze seemed endless, making them feel a little confused.
"These stones are arranged in such an orderly manner, there must be some kind of pattern."Charlotte analyzed as she walked,"We need to find a way to solve this maze."
"Maybe we can try to use magic."Noah suggested,"Charlotte, you can use some exploratory magic to help us find clues."
Charlotte nodded in agreement, and she began to chant magic spells, her fingers dancing gently. Suddenly, she stopped and pointed to a boulder in front of her and said,"Look, there seem to be some marks on that stone."
The two walked closer and found a line of poetry engraved on the boulder:
"The road to the stone maze is long, and only hope can solve the mystery. The world is visible on the chessboard, and wisdom guides you to the other side."
"It seems that this is the clue we are looking for."Noah said excitedly,"This verse implies that we need to use some kind of wisdom to solve the puzzle of the maze."
"Let's act quickly."Charlotte said.
The two began to look for more clues in the maze. They found that there were some inscriptions and poems on each boulder. By analyzing and deciphering the hints in the poems, they gradually understood the puzzle of the boulder maze.
