Lin Yu continued his dive. As he reached a depth of 30 meters, the surrounding water suddenly became turbulent, like an enraged beast, violently assaulting his body. His body began to sway uncontrollably, like a leaf in a gust of wind, teetering on the brink of collapse. "The current suddenly intensified without warning. I couldn't control my direction at all. I felt like a small boat struggling in a turbulent river," Lin Yu exclaimed, his voice filled with anxiety and helplessness. He struggled to adjust his posture, trying to find some balance in the chaotic current. However, the force of the current was too great, and every attempt seemed futile. Anxiety filled him. The sudden change in the current not only disrupted his descent but also exposed him to unknown dangers, as if an invisible hand were pushing him into a perilous abyss.
As Lin Yu struggled against the current, he suddenly saw vague outlines appearing not far ahead, looming in the dark water, as mysterious as ghosts. Those outlines resembled massive buildings, but due to the distance and the dim light in the water, they were like a thick veil, making it impossible to discern their details. "I think I see the outlines of some buildings, right up ahead. Could these be the ruins of the legendary mysterious ancient kingdom?" Lin Yu exclaimed excitedly, but also became more vigilant. He understood that approaching these buildings might mean getting closer to the truth, but it also carried the potential of stepping into a dangerous trap, like opening a door to an unknown world. No one could predict whether light or darkness lay beyond.
"Lin Yu, approach with caution and do not act rashly. Observe carefully for any signs of danger and then approach gradually after confirming it's safe. We'll be keeping a close eye on you on board. Report any abnormalities immediately," Ye Li said, her eyes a mixture of excitement and worry. She was excited about the possibility of discovering the remains of a mysterious ancient country, which would be a significant discovery; she was worried about the danger Lin Yu was currently in, and every move could lead to unexpected consequences.
Lin Yu slowly swam toward the outlines of the buildings. As he drew closer, the contours gradually became clearer. They were the ruins of towering city walls and palaces. Although most had collapsed, they still conveyed a sense of their former grandeur, as if telling of their former glory. The bricks and stones of the city walls were massive and neatly arranged, each a witness to history, engraved with a variety of exquisite patterns and symbols. These patterns and symbols bore similarities to those seen in the underwater morgue, yet possessed unique variations, like a unique language waiting to be deciphered. Although the palace roof had collapsed, the remaining pillars still stood, like loyal guards silently protecting these mysterious relics.
"I'm getting close to the ruins, and they do look like the remains of an ancient kingdom. The walls and palaces are magnificent, and the patterns and symbols on them seem to contain some profound message, but I can't be sure yet. Everything here is relatively well-preserved. It feels like some kind of huge disaster has suddenly struck, and the entire ancient kingdom has instantly sunk to the bottom of the lake, as if time has stopped here," Lin Yu said, his voice filled with wonder and confusion. He roamed around the ruins, trying to find some clues from these ancient buildings to uncover the secrets of the ancient kingdom's disappearance. However, these ruins were like an ancient and mysterious book, with every page filled with unknown text, waiting for him to decipher.
"Lin Yu, you must carefully observe the patterns and symbols to see if you can find any clues to the ancient kingdom's history or to the entrance. Also, be mindful of your surroundings. There might be dangerous creatures or hidden traps. This place is filled with unknowns, and any negligence could have fatal consequences," Ye Li said, her fingers rapidly flipping through the information, trying to find explanations for the patterns and symbols that matched Lin Yu's description. She knew that within these mysterious underwater ruins, every detail could hold the key to unlocking the mystery, and Lin Yu was on the brink of danger, so there was no room for carelessness.
Lin Yu circled the city wall, carefully examining the patterns and symbols. He noticed a recurring pattern, seemingly emphasizing something. This pattern consisted of a circle and several curved lines, with fine lines within the circle, seemingly representing a celestial body or a mysterious force. In a corner of the wall, he discovered a sunken pattern resembling a bird with outstretched wings, which seemed to have a subtle connection to the symbols he had seen before. "I've found a recurring pattern, and a sunken pattern resembling a bird. There might be some connection between the two, but I can't figure it out yet. These symbols and patterns are like a complex puzzle. Every element could be the key to solving it, but I don't know where to begin," Lin Yu said, frowning as he pondered the meaning behind them. His heart was filled with doubt. These seemingly simple patterns and symbols seemed to conceal countless secrets, waiting for him to uncover their mysteries.
At that moment, Lin Yu suddenly felt a chill from behind him. The feeling of being watched intensified again, more distinct than before, as if a pair of cold eyes were fixed on his back, sending a chill down his spine. He instinctively turned back, only to see only darkness, a darkness that seemed to conceal countless unknown fears. Yet, he could clearly sense something approaching silently, and an invisible pressure made his heart beat rapidly, almost as if it were about to burst out of his throat. "I feel that feeling of being watched again, and this time it's even more distinct and terrifying. It's like something is stealthily approaching me in the darkness. I can feel its presence, but I can't see its form. This unknown fear makes me feel uneasy," Lin Yu said nervously, his hand tightly gripping his weapon as he vigilantly observed his surroundings. He knew that danger could strike at any moment, and he must be prepared to face the unknown challenges. At this moment, his heart was filled with fear and anxiety, but also with a sense of determination. He was determined to uncover the secrets of this mysterious ancient country, no matter what lay ahead...
