Chapter 78 Exploring the First Floor of the Ruins＊＊
**Chapter 78: Exploring the First Floor of the Ruins**
Lin Yu and his party left the virtual world with the "heart" and returned to the real world. They stood in the huge underground palace and looked around. They saw that the lights in the palace were dim and filled with a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.
"Which floor should we explore first?" asked Zhao Hao.
Li Yueran pointed to the wall of the palace and said, "The murals on the wall here seem to depict the distribution map of the ruins. We can choose the first floor to explore based on the information on the murals."
Lin Yu nodded and said, "Then let's go to the first floor first as Li Yueran said."
Following the instructions on the mural, they came to a stone door. The stone door was closed, and a huge gem was inlaid on the door, emitting a faint light.
"This door should be the entrance to the first floor." Li Yueran said, "Let's try to see if we can open it."
Lin Yu walked to the stone door and looked at the gem carefully. He found some strange symbols engraved on the gem, which were very similar to the symbols in the stone chamber.
"These symbols..." Lin Yu muttered to himself, "They should be the key to open the stone door."
He reached out his hand and gently touched the symbol on the gem. Suddenly, the gem made a crisp sound, and the stone door slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to darkness.
"Come in." Li Yueran walked in first.
Lin Yu followed closely behind, and Su Yao, Zhao Hao, and Su Yao also entered the passage.
The passage was pitch black, with only a faint light coming from afar. They walked forward cautiously, trying to avoid making any noise.
After walking for about a dozen meters, a door appeared at the end of the passage. This door was heavier than the previous stone door and was also inlaid with gems.
"This door should also lead to the first floor of the ruins." Zhao Hao said.
Li Yueran walked to the door and looked at the gem carefully. She found that the gem was engraved with different symbols than before.
"These symbols..." Li Yueran muttered to herself, "They should be the key to open this door."
She reached out her hand and gently touched the symbol on the gem. Suddenly, the gem made a crisp sound, and the door slowly opened, revealing a spacious hall.
The hall was covered with dust, and it was obvious that no one had been here for a long time. In the center of the hall stood an altar, on which were placed some ancient artifacts.
"This should be the first level of the ruins." Li Yueran said.
Lin Yu walked to the altar and carefully observed the artifacts. He found some strange symbols engraved on the artifacts, which were very similar to the symbols in the stone chamber.
"These symbols..." Lin Yu muttered to himself, "They should be related to the 'Heart'."
He stretched out his hand and gently touched the symbol on the object. Suddenly, the object made a crisp sound, and the object on the altar began to move slowly, revealing a mechanism.
"This mechanism..." Zhao Hao said, "It should be the entrance to the next level."
He walked to the mechanism and observed it carefully. He found some strange symbols engraved on it, which were very similar to the symbols in the stone chamber.
"These symbols..." Zhao Hao muttered to himself, "They should be the key to unlocking the mechanism."
He stretched out his hand and gently touched the symbol. Suddenly, the mechanism made a crisp sound, and the mechanism slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to darkness.
"Come in." Li Yueran said.
Lin Yu and his group entered the passage again.
The passage was narrower than before, and only one person could walk side by side. They walked forward carefully, trying to avoid making any noise.
After walking for about a dozen meters, a door appeared at the end of the passage. This door was heavier than the previous one and was also inlaid with gems.
"This door should be the entrance to the second floor of the ruins." Li Yueran said.
Lin Yu nodded and said, "Then let's go to the second floor as Li Yueran said."
Following the instructions on the mural, they came to a stone door. The stone door was closed, and a huge gem was inlaid on the door, emitting a faint light.
"This door should be the entrance to the second floor." Zhao Hao said.
Li Yueran walked to the stone gate and looked at the gem carefully. She found that the gem was engraved with different symbols than before.
"These symbols..." Li Yueran muttered to himself, "They should be the key to open the stone door."
She reached out her hand and gently touched the symbol on the gem. Suddenly, the gem made a crisp sound, and the stone door slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to darkness.
"Come in." Li Yueran said.
Lin Yu and his group entered the passage again.
