Lin Yu looked at the gate of the ruins, his heart filled with anticipation and worry: "The mystery of Peng Jiamu's disappearance may be behind this door. We must be careful. No one knows what is hidden behind this door."
Old Chen looked at the door and said, "This door doesn't look simple. The symbols on it might be some kind of code or seal. Opening it rashly could lead to danger."
Professor Li carefully observed the symbols on the door and said, "These symbols are similar to the mysterious figure we encountered earlier and the symbols on the disk. There must be some connection between them. Give me a moment and I will try to decipher them."
Xiao Zhao patrolled the area vigilantly and said, "Hurry up, I feel like this place is unsafe, as if something is watching us."
Professor Li took out some tools and began to carefully study the symbols on the door. As time passed, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense. A fierce wind howled through the valley, a sharp sound, as if the ruins were issuing a warning. Lin Yu and the others' hearts raced, awaiting Professor Li's interpretation.
Finally, Professor Li raised his head, a hint of excitement on his face. "I think I understand now. These symbols are a guide. If you trigger them in a specific order, you can open the door. But I don't know what I will face after opening it."
Lin Yu took a deep breath and said, "At this point, we have no way out. Professor Li, you take command, and we will open the door according to the order of the symbols."
Everyone gathered in front of the gate, carefully triggering the symbols according to Professor Li's instructions. As the symbols were triggered one by one, the gate slowly opened with a dull rumble. A stale, decaying odor filled the air, nearly suffocating. Beyond the door lay a dark passage, shrouded in thick fog, obscuring everything. Strange sounds, like low growls or painful groans, faintly emanated from the mist, sending chills down one's spine.
Lin Yu looked at the passage, a sense of foreboding welling up in his heart, but he still said firmly: "Everyone follow me closely, stay alert, let's go in and take a look." After saying that, he was the first to step into the passage, and his teammates followed closely behind him, step by step into the passage full of unknowns and terrors...
A depressing and eerie atmosphere permeated the passage. A faint light flickered on the walls, as if maintained by some mysterious force. The light reflected on the walls, revealing blurry images of strange creatures performing some mysterious ritual. These creatures varied in form, some sporting multiple heads and arms, others with distorted bodies that sent chills down their spines.
Lin Yu moved forward cautiously, keeping an eye on his surroundings. He pondered, "What do these images really mean? Are they a true reflection of what happened here, or a warning? The dangers in this passage are surely far greater than we imagined. We must protect our teammates and uncover the truth behind Peng Jiamu's disappearance."
Old Chen followed behind Lin Yu, weapon tightly gripped in hand, his eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly, muttering softly, "This place is so eerie it makes me creepy. It feels like something might burst out at any moment. What do these strange creatures have to do with Peng Jiamu's disappearance?"
Professor Li observed the images on the wall and pondered, "From these images, it seems some kind of ritual associated with supernatural forces was performed here. Perhaps Peng Jiamu's disappearance was caused by the expedition team accidentally stumbling into this area closely associated with the supernatural, triggering some unknown mechanism. But all this is just speculation; we need more clues."
Xiao Zhao swallowed nervously and said, "Captain, why do I feel like this passage has no end, and the sound is getting clearer and clearer. Could there really be some monster?" Xiao Zhao's voice trembled slightly, which was particularly obvious in this silent passage.
Lin Yu comforted him, "Xiao Zhao, don't scare yourself. Everyone stay calm, pay attention to your surroundings, and tell us if anything happens."
As they went deeper into the passage, the strange sound grew clearer, as if it were coming from somewhere not far ahead. Suddenly, a massive cave appeared ahead, filled with thick fog. A gigantic figure loomed faintly within the mist. Its outline was blurry, but its size and terrifying presence were palpable.
Lin Yu and the others stopped and stared nervously at the figure in the cave. Lin Yu whispered, "Everyone be careful, this thing is not simple. Let's observe it first and see if it moves."
Lao Chen gripped his weapon tightly and said, "This thing looks difficult to deal with. If a fight breaks out later, everyone should look out for each other."
Professor Li pondered a countermeasure and said, "Don't act rashly yet. Let's see if we can find its weakness. Such a large creature might not be very agile. This might be our chance."
Xiao Zhao took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Okay, I'll listen to you. I want to see what this thing is."
At that moment, the figure within the cavern seemed to sense their presence and unleashed a deafening roar. The roar, like rolling thunder, echoed through the passage, jarring everyone's eardrums. As the roar continued, the figure slowly inched toward them, the mist swirling and surging, gradually revealing its outline. It was a creature resembling a humanoid, but enormous, several stories tall. Its body was covered in black scales that shimmered with an eerie light. Its eyes, like two enormous red lanterns, radiated a bloodthirsty glow that was terrifying.
Lin Yu's heart tightened, and he shouted, "Everyone, prepare to fight!"...
