The truth of the shadow puzzle is revealed
Lin Yu stared intently at the ghostly, shifting shadows on the wall. His heart felt as if gripped by an invisible hand, beating violently, threatening to burst through his chest. The shadows seemed imbued with some sinister and eerie will. Every twist and transformation seemed to gaze upon them in a chilling manner, mocking their insignificance and helplessness. "Everyone, stand back to back! Stay alert!" Lin Yu shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing through the empty, eerie hall with a desperate determination. He instinctively tightened his grip on his weapon, his knuckles turning white from the exertion, as if this would bring him a sense of security. His mind raced like a whirlwind, frantically formulating strategies to deal with the unknown danger before him. However, faced with this sudden and bizarre situation, his thoughts seemed to be shrouded in a fog, a blur of confusion and helplessness.
Upon hearing Lin Yu's cry, the team members quickly gathered together like frightened birds, forming a tight defensive circle with their backs to each other. Everyone's eyes were as wide as bells as they vigilantly observed their surroundings, their eyes filled with fear and tension, as if something even more terrifying would happen in the next second. "What the hell is this thing? How did these shadows suddenly appear?" One team member asked nervously, unable to suppress his inner fear. His voice was trembling and sharp, and it was particularly piercing in the silent hall. Lin Yu gritted his teeth, his facial muscles twitching slightly with tension. He said, "I don't know, but these shadows are definitely related to the secret of this hall. Perhaps they are a protective mechanism." In fact, he was secretly regretting that he had not spent more time to carefully study the mysterious crystal ball. Perhaps the key to solving the current crisis was hidden within it.
At that moment, a massive shadow, like a ferocious beast leaping from the dark abyss, suddenly detached itself from the wall. Carrying a sinister aura, it pounced upon the team members with lightning speed. Wherever the shadow passed, the air seemed to rip, emitting a sharp whistling sound. Lin Yu shouted without hesitation, "Attack!" As if on a clarion call, the team members raised their weapons and slashed at the shadow. However, when the weapons struck the shadow, they seemed to strike through a void of air, encountering no resistance and causing no damage. The shadow seemed completely impervious to physical attacks, effortlessly passing through the team's defenses and, like a ghost, circling behind them, striking again. One team member, unable to dodge, was struck hard by the shadow, falling to the ground like a kite with its string cut. A scream of pain echoed through the silent hall, sending chills down the spine.
"No, this isn't a solution!" Lin Yu was terribly anxious, beads of sweat instantly appearing on his forehead and sliding down his cheeks. He anxiously looked around, his eyes searching the darkness like searchlights, trying to find the shadow's weakness. At this moment, he keenly discovered that every time the shadow launched an attack, the light of the crystal ball on the stone platform would flicker. Although the change in light was extremely subtle, it still did not escape his eyes. It seemed that there was some mysterious and close connection between the two. "Everyone, pay attention! The change in the light of the crystal ball may be the key! When the light flickers, the shadow's attack will pause briefly. We will take this opportunity to attack the shadow's head!" Lin Yu shouted at the top of his voice, with a hint of excitement and hope in his voice, as if he had found a ray of light in this dark and desperate situation.
The team members remembered Lin Yu's words and stared at the crystal ball without blinking, their eyes filled with tension and anticipation. Finally, when the light of the crystal ball flickered again, the originally ferocious shadow really paused, as if time had frozen at this moment. "Go!" Lin Yu's order sounded like thunder in the hall. The team members reacted quickly and attacked the shadow's head at the fastest speed. This time, the weapon hit the shadow with a dull sound, as if it had hit a solid object. The shadow seemed to be hurt and let out a shrill scream. The sound was like nails scratching on glass, which made people's skin covered with goose bumps. Then, the shadow quickly retreated to the wall and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief, however, more shadows, enraged, detached themselves from the walls like a tide, surging toward them. These shadows took on a variety of shapes. Some resembled enormous pythons, their bodies twisting and twisting, their tongues spitting out, as if ready to devour at any moment; others resembled bats, their wings spread wider than a person's width, emitting shrill, terrifying cries. In an instant, the team members were surrounded by these shadows, trapped in a desperate situation. Lin Yu's heart sank, a sense of foreboding washed over him. He knew that the danger they faced this time was even more severe than before. "Don't panic, everyone. Follow the same method as before and strike at the right moment!" Lin Yu shouted, trying to sound calm and composed, trying to convey confidence and strength to the team members, even though his heart was filled with worry.
In the fierce battle, Lin Yu nimbly dodged the shadows' attacks. His keen observation revealed that despite their sheer number, the shadows seemed to follow a pattern in their movements. Their attacks followed a consistent path, not a random one. He dodged between the shadows' attacks, loudly sharing his findings with his teammates. "Everyone, pay attention to the shadows' movements. Anticipate them and conserve your energy!" Lin Yu shouted, his voice hoarse with fatigue and tension. The team members followed his advice, gradually adapting to the shadows' rhythm and engaging in a grueling battle against these terrifying figures.
