Mysterious Book
Everyone's attention was drawn to the yellowed scroll that had fallen from the bottom of the ancient bell, as if it were the only ray of light in the darkness. Lin Yu, straining his exhausted body, took heavy steps forward to pick up the scroll. Every movement he made seemed laborious; the intense battle had nearly exhausted all his strength.
The cover of the scroll is covered with traces of age, the merciless mark left by time. The paper has yellowed and become brittle, as if it would crumble to dust at the slightest touch. Strange patterns and symbols can be vaguely seen, like ancient spells or mysterious totems, leaving one baffled.
Full of curiosity and anticipation, Suna came over and asked, "Could this be the key to solving the mystery here?" There was a hint of anxiety in her voice, and her eyes were fixed on the scroll in Lin Yu's hand, as if it contained the code to save them.
Lin Yu gently flipped open the scroll, and a stale scent wafted over him, a scent of years, a mixture of decay and mystery. His eyes fell on the words on the scroll, and his brows furrowed instantly.
The text on it is obscure and difficult to understand. The crooked strokes look like ancient reptiles, densely arranged on the yellowed paper, like an ancient code, waiting for someone to decipher it.
"What kind of text is this? I can't understand it at all." One team member scratched his head, his face full of confusion and frustration. He leaned closer to the scroll, trying to decipher the text, but ultimately could only shake his head helplessly.
Lin Yu frowned, studying the words intently without blinking. His mind was completely absorbed in the mysterious text, trying to find a clue to solve the mystery. His fingers gently ran over the words, feeling the traces of time left on them.
At this moment, a sinister laugh suddenly rang out from the surroundings. The laugh seemed to come from the depths of hell, cold and sharp, echoing in the silent Zen room, making people shudder.
"Who?" Lin Yu suddenly raised his head and looked around vigilantly.
Everyone's bodies tensed up instantly, their heartbeats accelerated sharply, and fear once again enveloped them.
"Hahahaha..." The laughter continued, getting louder and louder, as if mocking their incompetence and helplessness.
"Come out! Don't hide!" a team member shouted loudly, with anger and fear in his voice.
Lin Yu signaled for everyone to be quiet, and he tried hard to identify the source of the laughter.
Suddenly, a black shadow swooped down from the beam and pounced on the scroll in Lin Yu's hand.
Lin Yu reacted quickly, dodged to the side, and held the scroll tightly in his arms.
The shadow missed its attack and fell to the ground. Only then did everyone see clearly that it was a hideous monster. Its skin was a strange blue-black, its eyes gleamed blood-red, its sharp teeth were exposed, and black mist continuously spewed from its mouth.
"Be careful!" Lin Yu warned loudly.
The monster pounced again, its claws sweeping through the air, bringing up a gust of cold wind.
Lin Yu raised his weapon and started fighting the monster. His movements were agile and powerful, and every move was full of determination.
"Everyone come together!" Suna shouted, and she also picked up the stick beside her and joined the battle.
The team members responded one after another, and for a moment, shouts and cries of killing were heard in the Zen room.
The monster was so powerful that the team members couldn't resist its attack. One team member was hit by the monster and fell to the ground, groaning in pain.
"Hold on!" Lin Yu shouted, his heart filled with anxiety.
While the monster was attacking Lin Yu, Suna hit the monster hard from the side, but this did not seem to cause much damage to the monster.
The monster roared, turned around and pounced on Suna.
Lin Yu was quick-witted and quick-handed. He flew in front of Suna and fought a desperate battle with the monster.
Sweat soaked Lin Yu's clothes, his breathing became rapid, but his eyes remained firm. He knew that he could not retreat, he had to protect everyone and solve the mystery here.
After a fierce battle, Lin Yu finally found the monster's weakness. He used all his strength to pierce the monster's vital point with his weapon.
The monster screamed, fell to the ground, and disappeared into a cloud of black smoke.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the ground.
"What the hell is this?" a team member asked breathlessly.
Lin Yu looked at the scroll in his hand and said thoughtfully: "Perhaps the secret hidden in this scroll is more terrifying than we can imagine."
At this moment, the words on the scroll suddenly flashed with a strange light...
