The Mysterious Ancient Kingdom Underwater in Fuxian Lake (Part 2)
Lin Yu's heartbeat quickened as he gazed at the stone door before him, engraved with mysterious patterns and symbols. He knew that the world behind this stone door might hold the key to unlocking the mysteries of this mysterious ancient nation. However, these complex and obscure patterns and symbols stood like an impenetrable barrier, blocking his path to the truth.
"These symbols aren't random carvings; they must hold a deeper meaning. But they're so complex, where do I even begin to decipher them?" Lin Yu muttered to himself, his brow furrowed, his eyes revealing a deep sense of confusion and determination. His heart was a tangled mess, eager to uncover the secrets behind the stone door, yet also filled with anxiety because he had no clue what to do.
After hearing Lin Yu's description on the boat, Ye Li quickly spread out all the information she had before her. Her eyes betrayed an eagerness and concentration, as her hands swiftly flipped through the yellowed pages, searching for clues related to the stone gate symbols. "Lin Yu, look closely. Do any of the symbols show a specific pattern, or do any recurring, iconic patterns resemble one? These might hold clues to the mystery," Ye Li said, her voice coming through the communication device, tinged with a hint of nervous anticipation. She knew that every discovery Lin Yu made underwater could be the key to unlocking the mysterious door.
Lin Yu approached the stone gate again and focused the light of his headlamp on the symbols as much as possible. His eyes wandered along the lines, not missing any details. Suddenly, he found a group of symbols shaped like stars, arranged in a strange trajectory, as if outlining a star map. In the center of this group of symbols is a circular pattern emitting light, like the brightest star in the night sky. "Ye Li, I found a group of symbols similar to a star map, with a glowing circle in the middle. It looks very special. Could this be related to astronomical phenomena, or some special way of recording years in ancient countries?" Lin Yu said, with a hint of excitement and uncertainty in his tone. A glimmer of hope ignited in his heart, and he felt that he might have found the key clue to solve the mystery.
Ye Li thought for a moment and said, "It's very likely. In many ancient civilizations, astronomical phenomena are often closely linked to sacrifices and major ceremonies. Perhaps this circle represents the sun, moon or other important celestial bodies, and the surrounding star maps indicate specific times or directions. Look around again to see if there are any symbols associated with them, which may further clarify their meaning." Ye Li's voice was steady and calm, and she tried to provide guidance to Lin Yu from the perspective of professional knowledge.
Lin Yu continued his search as instructed. On the side of the stone gate, he discovered several more small symbols. These symbols seemed to supplement the star map, and several of them had similar outlines to the flying bird patterns he had seen on the city wall. "I found some more symbols that seem to be related to the flying bird patterns before. This flying bird pattern appears so many times, it must have special meaning. Could it be that there is some kind of connection between it and the star map?" Lin Yu said, his doubts growing, but at the same time, he became more and more convinced that there must be some inherent logical connection between these seemingly scattered symbols.
Just as Lin Yu was absorbed in studying the symbols, the surrounding water suddenly began to surge violently, transforming the previously calm waters into a turbulent sea. Dark undercurrents, like demonic tentacles, rippled through the water, seemingly threatening to sweep everything around them into an endless abyss. Lin Yu clutched the edge of the stone door tightly to prevent himself from being swept away. "Oh no! The water has suddenly become so turbulent, and there are dark undercurrents everywhere. I feel like something bad is going to happen!" Lin Yu shouted, a strong sense of foreboding welling up in his heart. His body was trembling under the impact of the undercurrent, and the fear within him spread like a tide.
On the boat, Ye Li and Zhao Yang watched as the data on the monitoring equipment fluctuated dramatically. All indicators indicated that the underwater situation was becoming extremely dangerous. "Lin Yu, hold on! You might have triggered something, causing changes in the surrounding environment. Find a safe place to hide and wait for the current to stabilize before continuing," Ye Li shouted anxiously, her eyes filled with worry, her hands tightly gripping the equipment, as if this could give Lin Yu strength.
Lin Yu struggled to find a relatively stable position in the undercurrent. Suddenly, he discovered a depression beneath the stone gate that was just big enough to accommodate his body. He swam towards the depression with all his might, but just as he was about to reach it, a strong undercurrent suddenly swept him away. Lin Yu struggled in the water, his breathing becoming rapid and his oxygen rapidly depleting. "I can't swim anymore. The undercurrent is too strong and I'm running out of oxygen..." Lin Yu's voice was filled with despair. At this moment, he felt as if he was in a desperate situation, and every struggle became more and more difficult.
Zhao Yang was extremely anxious on the boat. He looked at Ye Li with determination in his eyes: "Ye Li, I want to go down to help Lin Yu. If he goes on like this, his life will be in danger!" Ye Li gritted her teeth, thought for a moment and said: "No, the situation underwater is unclear. Going down rashly will only increase the danger. Let's find a way to provide help from the boat first and see if we can interfere with the undercurrent." As he said that, Ye Li quickly operated the equipment, trying to send out interference waves to alleviate the power of the undercurrent.
While operating the equipment, Ye Li shouted into the communication device, "Lin Yu, hold on a little longer! I'm trying to send out a jamming wave, which should slightly reduce the intensity of the undercurrent. Find the right moment and swim to the depression below the stone gate to take shelter." Lin Yu's heart rekindled with hope as he gathered his last bit of strength, waiting for the jamming wave to arrive.
Finally, the interference wave was emitted, and the underwater undercurrent weakened slightly. Lin Yu seized the opportunity and swam with all his might towards the depression below the stone door. His hands slid across the rough stone door, finally grasping the edge of the depression and pressing his body tightly against it. At this moment, his breathing became heavy and rapid, and fatigue washed over him like a tide, but he knew that he was safe for the time being.
