"This stone gate should be the entrance to the Trial Land," Lin Yu said in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the runes on the stone gate, trying to find a way to open the stone gate from those mysterious symbols. At this moment, Suna suddenly discovered a depression under the stone gate. The shape of the depression was very similar to the bulge at the bottom of the Valley Heart, as if it was tailor-made for the Valley Heart.
"Lin Yu, look at this depression, could it be related to the Heart of the Valley?" There was a hint of surprise and expectation in Suna's voice. She turned her head and looked at Lin Yu. Lin Yu's heart moved, as if a ray of light flashed in the darkness. He quickly took out the Heart of the Valley and carefully placed it into the depression. Sure enough, the Heart of the Valley fit perfectly with the depression, as if they were one. The runes on the stone door shone brightly, and the light jumped and flickered like flames. The stone door slowly opened, making a dull "rumbling" sound, as if a giant beast that had been sleeping for thousands of years had awakened. After the stone door opened, a deep passage was revealed. The passage was filled with a mysterious and strange atmosphere, and a low roar could be heard faintly, as if some terrifying creature was waiting for them in the depths of the passage.
Lin Yu and Suna took a deep breath and held hands tightly, as if this would give them more strength and courage. They slowly walked into the passage. The air inside was damp and cold, as if countless ice needles were scratching their skin. They knew that they would face unknown challenges, but to prevent the evil forces from obtaining the gems and to protect the peace of the world, they had no reason to retreat.
Following the passage, they arrived at a vast circular space. In the center, a massive mythical beast, lion-like in form, possessed wings that stretched dozens of meters across, resembling two vast dark clouds. Its eyes shone with a golden light, as dazzling as the sun. It gazed upon them with majesty, as if it could read their every thought. Surrounding the mythical beast were various strange artifacts, each in its own unique form. Some resembled ancient books, their yellowed pages bearing the weight of millennia of history; others resembled strange stones, smooth yet radiating a mysterious aura; and still others resembled enigmatic scrolls, their patterns shimmering, seemingly concealing untold secrets.
"Why have you come?" The divine beast's voice, like a resounding bell, echoed through the space, piercing their eardrums. The sound seemed to carry an invisible pressure, nearly suffocating them. Lin Yu summoned his courage, straightened his chest, and declared, "We have come to seek the gem. To prevent the evil forces from reviving the ancient evil demon, strengthen the seal, and protect the world's peace. We know this journey will be difficult, but we will never retreat." Lin Yu's voice was firm and powerful, as hard as steel, echoing through the space for a long time. The divine beast examined them, its gaze sweeping through them like a sharp arrow, as if piercing their souls. After a moment, the divine beast slowly spoke, "To obtain the gem, you must pass my test. If you fail, you will remain here forever, a part of this space." The divine beast's words were cold and merciless, like a harsh winter wind, chilling them deeply.
Lin Yu and Suna nodded firmly, their eyes full of determination and resolve. They are ready to face the challenge, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, they will move forward bravely. The divine beast flapped its wings, and a strong wind blew, the wind whistling, like the roar of countless evil spirits. The strong wind blew the surrounding objects all over the place, and some objects collided with each other, making crisp sounds, as if playing a strange symphony. After the wind stopped, the divine beast said: "The first test is to find the key props that can solve the next puzzle among these objects. The time limit is one stick of incense." As soon as the divine beast's voice fell, a burning incense appeared in front of them, and the sparks on the incense head flickered, as if it was a countdown of time.
Lin Yu and Suna immediately took action, searching carefully among the numerous artifacts. Lin Yu picked up an ancient book and flipped through it quickly, his eyes quickly scanning the pages, trying to find clues from the densely packed text. Suna picked up a strange stone and carefully observed the texture of the stone, hoping to find clues from the texture. These artifacts are of different shapes, and each one seems to hide a secret, which is dazzling. Time passed by minute by minute, and a stick of incense was half burned, but they still hadn't found the key prop. Lin Yu was anxious, he felt his heartbeat faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of his throat. But he knew that the more anxious he was, the easier it would be to make mistakes, so he tried to calm himself down, took a deep breath, and re-examined the artifacts around him.
Just then, Suna discovered an ancient book emitting a faint glow, a light like the glimmer of a firefly, flickering in the darkness. With a sudden impulse, she hurriedly opened the book. The words within seemed to guide them to the next clue. The words seemed to have life, dancing and flickering on the pages. "Lin Yu, come and take a look at this ancient book!" Suna shouted excitedly. Lin Yu hurried over, and the two of them carefully studied the ancient book. The text was obscure and difficult to understand, but with unwavering faith and keen insight, they finally determined that this was the key prop.
"Time's up. Have you found it?" the beast asked, its voice echoing through the space, carrying a hint of majesty and indifference. Lin Yu held up the ancient book and said loudly, "We found it." The beast nodded with satisfaction, a glint of approval in its eyes. "Very good, it seems you have some skills. Next is the second test..."
What will the second test be? Can Lin Yu and Suna successfully pass it? Will the men in black appear to interfere at a critical moment? Everything is filled with suspense, just like this mysterious space, waiting to be uncovered. Lin Yu thought to himself: "No matter how difficult the test, we must pass it and never let the evil forces succeed. Even if it costs my life, I must protect Suna and complete my mission." Suna also encouraged herself in her heart: "Together with Lin Yu, we will succeed. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must work together and never give up." With unwavering faith, they faced the new challenge, filled with fear of the unknown, but even more so with trust in each other and a desire for success.
