Chapter 698 Two big doors?
Time passed by minute by minute in the Phantom Tower. Night came again and the tower gradually fell into darkness.
At the junction of the first and second floors of the Phantom Tower, a group of people came here in a mighty manner and stopped in front of the last gate.
"This should be the new layer that appeared. It really looks a bit strange."
The first one to arrive at the entrance to the first floor was Lin Shi. He looked at the place where there should have been stairs leading to the next floor but was now replaced by two doors, smacked his lips and said.
"Why are there two doors?"
Meng Wan walked forward and looked at them. The two doors in front of her looked almost identical. Both were silver doors with no handles or locks, and it was impossible to tell how to get in.
"Here, we are finally here."
Yang Wangchen walked forward quickly and looked at the door leading to the last floor with excitement. Coming here, he was only one step away from finding what he wanted.
But soon, he noticed the two silver doors on the wall here. He was confused and his eyes kept moving back and forth between the two doors, muttering to himself.
"Why are there two doors?"
“There seems to be words here.”
Just as Yang Wangchen was astonished, Yang Wangxing, who had poor legs and feet, slowly walked forward and pointed at a stone tablet standing next to the two gates and spoke loudly.
Hearing this, Lin Shi became interested and came over, looking at the words on the stone tablet and reading them word by word.
"The Temple of the Stars, the twin doors of the Sun and the Moon, those who hold the keys enter, shielding men and gods."
There were only sixteen short words on it. Although it had been extremely simplified, Lin Shi, who was systematic, still translated it easily. However, it was not so easy to understand the meaning immediately.
"The Temple of Stars should be the name of this first tower. The Sun and Moon Gates are, if nothing unexpected happens, the two gates in front of them. There are patterns of the crescent moon and the sun on the two doors.
Lin Shi touched his chin and thought. The next sentence was very clear. Whoever holds the key can open the door and enter. But the last sentence was a bit questionable. Lin Shi was unable to understand the four words "blind to people and gods" for the time being.
Shaking his head, Lin Shixian ignored the last four words. What was more important to them now was that they did not have the key to open the door. If they were blocked outside, it would be meaningless even if they knew the meaning of the last four words.
Thinking of this, Lin Shi licked his lips, came to Yang Wangchen, and rubbed his hands.
"Expert Yang, to open these two doors and go to the first floor, it seems that we need to get the key. I wonder if you have any clues."
"I remember that group of big monsters once said that you stole something from their tribe, right? It should be this key that can open the door."
Lin Shi's words made Yang Wangchen's pupils shrink slightly. He was indeed a little surprised by the other party's words, but at this time he did not continue to pretend to be polite and nodded calmly.
"Yes, those big monsters did have the key to open the door. In order to prevent them from finding it first, I found a way to get it in my hands."
"But I only have one key in my hand. This key is very special and can only be used once in a short period of time. In other words, we can only open one door at present, so we must first figure out which door is the correct one."
Yang Wangxing spoke slowly, but these words made Lin Shi raise his eyebrows.
What key is so special that it can only be opened once for the time being?
"However, we can put the matter of opening the door aside for later. Mr. Lin Shi should not have forgotten our agreement."
His tone changed and Yang Wangchen turned to look at Lin Shi.
"You're going to attack the Dayu monster tribe?"
Lin Shi reacted immediately and said with narrowed eyes.
"Um……"
Yang Wangchen nodded without hesitation, exuding a righteous aura.
"Now that we're here, if we open the door at the back and let the Dayu monsters in, it's inevitable that they'll do something that'll cause more trouble than good. We should first get rid of them completely."
"This is also a precautionary measure. I hope Mr. Lin Shi can do his best to help us. All this is for humanity and for our planet!"
Yang Wangchen was speaking passionately while Lin Shize licked his lips, looked at Yang Wangchen and nodded.
"Well, it's time to act..."
Night was about to fall, and everyone began to set up camp again to prepare for rest. They were extremely tired after the whole day. The deeper they went, the larger the area of the tower was, and the longer it would take.
Yang Wangchen's men were still in the mural corridor. They had been tortured for quite some time and were now exhausted both physically and mentally.
"It's okay, Liuying, you saw it too. You can't get into those two doors without a key. The owner and the others must have been spit out by the Phantom Tower. We just didn't run into them. Don't worry."
Under the firelight, Meng Wan was comforting Qin Liuying. What she said made sense. For such a long time, they had almost walked through the entire tower and still hadn't found anyone else.
There are only two possibilities before them now. Either Qin Liuying's father and others entered the first level of the Star Temple through some unknown means, or before Lin Shi and others came in, the others were spit out by the Phantom Tower and returned to the real world.
"Well, I know..."
Qin Liuying smiled and nodded, but her eyes involuntarily looked towards the door of the first floor, and she was still feeling uneasy.
"Don't worry, we have to go to the first floor too. If they are still in the tower, we will definitely find them. Let's eat something first. There will be a good show to watch tomorrow."
Lin Shi said confidently, then handed over a chicken leg and said.
They were already accustomed to Lin Shi's magical cooking skills, but they had to admit that having someone like Lin Shi around made their trip much more comfortable.
"Um... Lin Shi, are we really going to help that group of people deal with the Dayu monster tribe tomorrow? They don't look like a group of evil elves. Are you sure that Yang Wangchen and his people are not lying to us and using us as pawns?"
Holding a piece of cake, Meng Wan frowned and looked at Lin Shi and asked.
"Yes, it's smart to think of these things." Lin Shi smiled with relief.
"They certainly have ulterior motives, but that's okay, and tomorrow's events may unfold a little differently than they imagined."
Looking at Lin Shi's malicious smile, Meng Wan blinked. Whenever Lin Shi smiled like this, nothing good would happen. The last time he smiled like this... the price of pork went up.
"Mr. Lin, are you eating? Expert Yang asked me to bring you some food, including some good Pokémon food. I think you won't be able to eat well here, sleeping outdoors..."
It was at this time that a sturdy fat man, with a few people behind him, came over with a lot of food, with a warm smile on his face. But when he saw what Lin Shi and others were eating, his face suddenly froze, and he couldn't help but hold back the words he wanted to say.
No, where can you find hotpot in a place like this?
