Just then, a chilling wind blew by, emitting a whirring sound, as if countless wronged souls were wailing in the darkness. The team members shuddered, goosebumps instantly covering their bodies, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense. "Everyone, be careful and alert. This place is full of strange things, and we must not let our guard down," Lin Yu whispered, his eyes revealing alarm, and he tightened his grip on his weapons.
Lin Yu and his team worked together to push aside the stone slab. A pungent, putrid odor assaulted their nostrils, a stench so tangible that it nearly suffocated them. The cellar was pitch black, pitch dark, like a black hole swallowing everything. Lin Yu quickly turned on his flashlight. The faint light flickered in the darkness, illuminating only a small area, but only highlighting the surrounding darkness and unknown. They cautiously descended the stairs, each step accompanied by a creaking sound from the wooden planks, as if the stairs were groaning in pain, or like the low groaning of some unknown creature, ready to break at any moment.
Suddenly, the team member in front stopped, his body trembling slightly, and nervously said, "Captain, I... I think I hear something." Everyone immediately stopped and held their breath. The entire cellar was instantly quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. In the silent cellar, a faint "tick-tick" sound could be heard, like the sound of falling water, or the slow and heavy heartbeat of some creature, beating on everyone's nerves.
"Everyone, don't panic. Stay calm and keep going," Lin Yu said. Although he tried to remain calm, a sense of unease welled up in his heart. As they gradually went deeper into the cellar, the strange sound became clearer and clearer, and the temperature around them became increasingly cold, as if they had entered an ice cellar. The breath they exhaled turned into white mist.
Deep in the cellar, they found a tightly closed stone door. It was also engraved with strange symbols, echoing those at the entrance, as if telling the same mysterious story. Lin Yu approached and pushed hard at the stone door, but it remained motionless, as if fused to the earth.
At that moment, the symbol on the stone door suddenly glowed with an eerie light. The light grew stronger, gradually transforming from a faint blue glow into a dazzling white, illuminating the entire cellar like daylight. Lin Yu and his teammates were blinded by the sudden glare and shielded their eyes with their hands. Countless dark shadows seemed to flicker and leap within the light, as if a long-sealed evil force was about to break free. Everyone was filled with fear, a sense of foreboding looming over them.
As the light faded, the stone door slowly opened. A powerful suction surged from within, like an invisible vortex threatening to engulf them. Lin Yu felt his body lurch forward uncontrollably, and he shouted, "Everyone, hold on! Don't get sucked in!" The team members grasped at their surroundings, fighting the suction in a desperate struggle. Could Lin Yu lead the team to resist the pull and uncover the secrets of the Death Vault? What terrifying existence lay hidden within? Everything was filled with uncertainty, and Lin Yu and his team were treading deeper into this perilous mystery. Their fate, like a candle in the wind, swayed on the edge of darkness and terror.
