Chapter 672 Sudden Changes

An idea suddenly flashed through Lin Ze's mind, and he thought to himself: "Maybe I need to find an object that fits perfectly with the groove on the stone door in order to open it?" This idea made him very excited, as if he saw hope of opening the stone door.

So he immediately told others his guess. After hearing it, everyone thought it made sense, so they took action again and began to search carefully around the stone gate.

As time went by, everyone became more and more anxious. Just when everyone was about to lose confidence, suddenly, someone found a stone emitting a faint light among a pile of rubble. The shape of this stone was very strange and it just fit into the groove on the stone door.

Seeing this, Lin Ze was delighted and quickly and carefully picked up the stone, fearing that it would be damaged. Then, holding his breath, he gently placed the stone into the groove.

At the moment when the stone was embedded in the groove, the runes on the stone door seemed to be activated, and suddenly burst into a dazzling light. Accompanied by a low roar, the stone door slowly opened, and a mysterious and ancient breath came to the face.

Everyone was startled by this sudden change, but they quickly came to their senses. They held their weapons tightly and looked at the passage behind the stone door vigilantly, not knowing what kind of danger was hidden inside.

The light in the passage was very dim, and I could only barely see the road ahead. The walls on both sides flashed with strange lights from time to time, which made people shudder.

Lin Ze took a deep breath and stepped into the passage first.

Not long after they walked, the ground suddenly began to shake violently, and rows of sharp spikes extended from the walls on both sides of the passage and flew towards everyone at a rapid speed.

Everyone dodged in a hurry, but Lin Ze reacted quickly, dodged to the side and narrowly avoided the spikes.

The others were not to be outdone and they all used their skills to move nimbly among the spikes.

After finally dodging the attack of the spikes, a bottomless ravine appeared in front of him.

There was only a rickety bridge across the ravine, made of chains and wooden planks.

Lin Ze took a deep breath and slowly stepped onto the bridge, as if this step would determine his life or death. His heartbeat accelerated rapidly, and every step he took seemed extremely difficult.

However, just as he took a few steps, the bridge suddenly shook violently, as if it was going to throw him into the bottomless ravine. Lin Ze lost his balance and waved his hands desperately, trying to grab something to stabilize himself.

At this moment, an eerie sound of wind came from the bottom of the ravine, followed by a group of bats emitting dim light flying out from the darkness like ghosts, pouncing towards the crowd with their fangs and claws bared.

These bats were as fast as lightning and extremely powerful. Their wings made a whirring sound in the air, which made people shudder. Everyone was startled by this sudden attack and waved their weapons in panic, trying to resist the attack of the bats.

For a moment, the bridge was filled with shouts and the sound of metal colliding, and the scene was extremely chaotic. Lin Ze was no exception. He held the long sword tightly in his hand and kept swinging it, repelling the bats that flew towards him one by one.

Although everyone fought hard, there were too many bats. They poured out from the ravine like a black whirlwind. The situation became more and more dangerous. They struggled to resist the attack of the bats while moving forward cautiously.

Just as everyone was about to cross the bridge, a huge bat suddenly jumped out of the darkness, like a small plane, and swooped straight towards Lin Ze. The bat was extremely fast and flew in front of Lin Ze in the blink of an eye.

Lin Ze was shocked when he saw this, but he did not panic. He quickly dodged the bat's attack and thrust the sword in his hand like lightning, piercing the bat's abdomen accurately.

The bat let out a shrill scream, its body shook violently in the air, and then fell straight into the ravine like a kite with a broken string.

As the giant bat fell, the other bats seemed to be frightened and their attacks gradually weakened. Everyone took the opportunity to speed up their pace and finally successfully crossed the crumbling bridge.

However, they did not have time to breathe, because unknown dangers were still waiting for them ahead. After a short rest, they continued to walk deeper into the passage, not knowing what challenges and crises they would encounter next.

After walking a little further, a spacious hall appeared at the end of the passage.

A sphere emitting colorful light was suspended in the center of the hall, and the surrounding walls were engraved with strange runes. The runes flashed with faint green light, as if telling an ancient story.

Just as everyone approached the sphere, the ground suddenly cracked, and a group of monsters covered with scales emerged from the cracks. These monsters had ferocious looks, sharp teeth, and made creepy roars. Everyone immediately deployed their troops and started a fierce battle with the monsters.

Lin Ze wielded his sword and shuttled through the monsters. Each attack could take the life of a monster. But there were too many monsters and everyone gradually felt overwhelmed.

At this moment, Lin Ze discovered that the light of the sphere seemed to be able to restrain these monsters. He shouted loudly: "Everyone move towards the sphere!" Hearing this, everyone retreated while fighting. When they got closer to the sphere, the monsters really didn't dare to get closer. Wherever the light reached, the monsters fell to the ground.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the light of the sphere became brighter and brighter, as if heralding the coming of new challenges.

Just when everyone was rejoicing that they had temporarily gotten rid of the monster, the sphere suddenly shook violently, and the colorful light instantly became dazzling.

Then, rays of light shot out from the sphere, trapping everyone in an invisible cage.

Outside the cage, the monsters seemed to be summoned by some force and gathered together again, staring at them hungrily.

Lin Ze was extremely anxious. He kept swinging his sword at the cage, but to no avail.

Suddenly, the runes on the wall flashed more violently, and an illusory figure emerged from the runes.

The figure suddenly spoke, and the voice seemed to come from the netherworld, making people shudder: "If you want to pass through here, you must solve the puzzle I set. Otherwise, you will be trapped here forever, and you will never be able to be reborn!"

Lin Ze's heart tightened. He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. He knew that he had to respond calmly at this moment, as any panic could lead to fatal consequences.

Everyone held their breath, staring at the illusory figure, waiting for the mystery to be revealed.

Finally, the figure slowly said: "There is a man walking in the desert. He sees a castle in front of him, but the castle is surrounded by a vast desert and there is no road leading to the castle. How can he get to the castle?"

This puzzle sounds simple, but it is confusing. Everyone looked at each other, and no one could answer it for a while.

As time passed, the roars of the monsters became closer and closer, as if they had smelled their fear and despair.

A thin layer of sweat appeared on Lin Ze's forehead. He clenched his fists tightly and thought hard about the answer to the puzzle. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, as if he had thought of something.
