Chapter 76 Secret Path Awakening
Chapter 76: Secret Path Awakens
The words on the stone tablet gradually became clear. Lin Yu read them carefully and muttered to himself, "**A lonely path**."
"These eight words mean that there is only one way to the 'Heart'." Lin Yu pondered for a moment and explained to Su Yao and others, "We must follow this clue to reveal the secret of the 'Heart'."
Su Yao, Zhao Hao, and Li Yueran looked confused, as if they were trapped in an unfathomable mystery.
"So, how do we find this only path?" Su Yao asked doubtfully.
Lin Yu looked at the ancient symbols on the stone tablet with sharp eyes. He noticed that these symbols were strikingly similar to the patterns deep in the maze, but also implied subtle differences.
"These symbols may be the key to unlocking the mystery." Lin Yu speculated, "We might as well compare them with the patterns in the maze, and perhaps we can find clues to solve the problem."
He turned and walked towards the starting point of the maze, his eyes sharp as a torch, studying the symbols in the grooves. After a rigorous comparison, Lin Yu finally captured a key pattern.
"The arrangement of these symbols coincides with the path in the maze," Lin Yu said. "This means that we only need to follow this path to reach the 'heart'."
He quickly took out a scroll and carefully outlined the maze. He compared it with the symbols on the stone tablet and marked each step clearly.
"Follow this path." Lin Yu said firmly, "The secret of the 'Heart' is right under our feet."
The group moved forward along the route, taking every step carefully, fearing that they would trigger unknown mechanisms. With their tacit understanding and wisdom, they resolved the obstacles along the way one by one.
Finally, they arrived in front of a huge stone door. The stone door was engraved with complex runes, which flickered with a faint light, as if telling a thousand-year-old legend.
"This is the guardian gate of the 'Heart'." Lin Yu pointed at the stone gate with a hint of awe in his tone.
He approached the stone door and carefully observed the runes on it. He found that these runes had some strange connection with the patterns on the stone tablet.
"These runes may contain some kind of code." Lin Yu said, "We may be able to try to crack it."
He returned to the stone tablet and re-examined the ancient symbols. After careful consideration, he finally discovered a pattern.
"These symbols actually represent a special order." Lin Yu said, "Following this order, we can unlock the runes on the stone door."
Following the guidance of the symbol, he gently placed his finger on the rune on the stone door. Instantly, the stone door burst into a dazzling light, and the rune began to undergo strange changes.
"Success!" Lin Yu shouted excitedly.
Su Yao, Zhao Hao, and Li Yueran all gathered around. Their faces were filled with surprise as they looked at the new words that appeared on the stone gate.
"'The heart is hidden inside.'" Su Yao whispered softly, with a curious light in her eyes.
"What this means is that the secret of the 'Heart' is hidden in this stone door." Lin Yu explained, "We must pass through this door to find the real answer."
He walked to the stone door and pushed it open. The stone door slowly opened, revealing a deep passage.
"Let's go in." Lin Yu said.
They stepped into the passage and found it dark and damp, with a nauseating smell of decay in the air. On the walls of the passage, various patterns and symbols were carved, dazzling the eyes.
They moved forward cautiously, and suddenly, a powerful suction force surged out from the depths of the passage, sucking them tightly.
"Be careful!" Lin Yu warned quickly.
He waved the wand in his hand and released a powerful magic. A shrill scream came from the darkness, and the suction gradually dissipated.
"Keep moving forward." Lin Yu ordered calmly.
They advanced along the passage, overcoming countless mechanisms and traps along the way. Their wisdom and courage became a powerful driving force for their progress.
Finally, they arrived in front of a huge stone chamber. In the center of the chamber, a huge crystal ball emitted a soft light, reflecting a mysterious world.
"This is the power of the Heart," Lin Yu said with emotion, "It not only guides us in finding the Heart, but also helps us in our mission."
They realize that they have found the Heart and their mission is accomplished. However, they know that the real adventure has just begun.
"Let's go." Lin Yu said.
They left the stone chamber and followed the underground river, which meandered and eventually led them out of the cave.
They walked out of the cave and back into the vibrant forest. They followed the forest path and finally walked out of the forest boundary.
They returned to their familiar village and their warm home.
They know that the road ahead is still long and the adventurous journey continues.
