Use your wisdom to overcome difficulties and finally get the key
Lin Yu stood there, his brain like a high-speed supercomputer, frantically searching every corner of his memory. His brows were furrowed, his eyes revealing an almost paranoid focus, trying to find clues related to this question from the vast amount of information about past adventures. The team members gathered around him tightly, like a group of lambs waiting for guidance in the dark, not daring to breathe. Everyone's face was filled with tension and anticipation. They knew that the answer to this question was related to everyone's fate, and every breath seemed to be a game of fate. Time seemed to freeze, every second was infinitely stretched, and in the silent space, the only sound was the rapid heartbeats of everyone, like dense drumbeats.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning struck Lin Yu's mind. He recalled exploring an ancient ruin, a corner forgotten by time, shrouded in decay and mystery. He had paused before a dilapidated stone tablet, covered in illegible ancient text. He hadn't paid much attention at the time, merely glancing over it. But now, thinking carefully, he remembered a reference to a mysterious substance called "star iron." It was said that this substance, descended from the distant stars, possessed extraordinary powers after falling to Earth, and was often closely linked to the key to unlocking mysteries.
Lin Yu took a deep breath, trying to suppress the nervousness surging within him. His voice trembled slightly, and with utter trepidation, he replied, "It's meteorite iron." His words echoed in the near-deathly still air, as if the very air itself had been shaken to a halt. Each syllable was like a hammer, hammering down upon the hearts of the crowd.
After a brief silence, the ethereal voice echoed again, as if from the depths of an endless abyss: "Correct." The heavy weight hanging in everyone's hearts finally settled slightly, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had just narrowly escaped the scythe of death. However, before they could even savor this brief moment of relief, the ethereal voice, like a ghost, posed a second question: "In the lost ancient city, what color are the eyes of the mythical beast that guards forbidden knowledge?"
This question was like a bombshell, instantly turning the team members' faces paler than white paper. It was a profoundly obscure question. Despite having weathered countless hardships and dangers in their previous adventures, this one felt like groping in the dark, with no clue at all. Lin Yu felt his temples throbbing, his brain mired in a fog, unable to comprehend the answer. He frowned, trying to find a clue in the maze of memory, every brain cell working furiously, but the answer, like a mischievous elf, refused to reveal itself.
Just as everyone felt despair, as if completely swallowed by darkness, one team member suddenly, as if struck by lightning, shouted excitedly, "Captain, I remember when we were studying the ancient books in the ancient city, the paper had turned yellow and brittle, as if it would crumble to dust at the slightest touch. There was an illustration inside depicting that mythical beast. Although the image is blurry, I remember its eyes seemed to be purple!"
Lin Yu's heart suddenly surged with joy, as if he had grasped a lifeline in the darkness. He hurriedly tried to recall the illustration, and the vague outline of the mythical beast gradually emerged in his mind. Yes, there was such a detail: the beast's eyes were a mysterious and deep purple. He hurriedly replied, his voice slightly inflected with nervousness and excitement: "It's purple." His voice was filled with a hint of nervousness and anticipation, as if he was awaiting the final judgment of fate.
"Correct answer." The ethereal voice echoed again, like the sound of nature, and everyone cheered. They hugged each other, weeping with joy, as if they saw the dawn of victory just around the corner. But they knew that the final question was the true test of life and death, and there was no room for carelessness. Any small mistake could ruin all their previous efforts.
The ethereal voice paused for a moment, a brief silence like the calm before a storm, as if brewing the final test. Then, the voice slowly rose, as heavy as a death knell: "Finally, in the secret passage leading to the ultimate land, what is the method to break the first seal?"
This question was like a bolt from the blue, instantly making everyone's nerves, which had just relaxed, tense up to the extreme again, as if they would break in the next second. They had never even heard of this ultimate place, let alone the method to break the seal of the secret passage. Lin Yu felt a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to his head. His forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat. The sweat beads as big as beans slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground and disappeared in an instant. He felt that his thoughts were about to reach an impasse, as if he was tightly bound by an invisible net, and no matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape. The team members were also pale, and their eyes revealed deep despair, as if they saw the tragic ending of being trapped here and unable to escape forever.
At that moment, the black panther, which had been quietly standing nearby, suddenly approached Lin Yu. It nudged Lin Yu gently with its head and let out a low whimper. Then, the black panther raised its head and looked toward the side of the passage. Lin Yu followed the panther's gaze, and with a startled thought, he noticed some faint lines on the wall. Those lines seemed like traces of time, yet also like a deliberately hidden secret.
Lin Yu hurriedly approached the wall and squatted down to examine it carefully. His eyes were filled with anticipation and nervousness, as if he were uncovering an ancient mystery. As he observed more deeply, he discovered that the lines seemed to form a pattern. Although the pattern was a little blurry, a closer look revealed the process of breaking the seal. Lin Yu was so excited that he almost jumped up. His hands trembled slightly as he quickly deciphered the information in the pattern. Then he took a deep breath and answered loudly, "The power of the six elements needs to be injected into the seal in a specific order."
