The Mysterious Ancient Kingdom Underwater in Fuxian Lake (Final Chapter)
Lin Yu stared in horror at the corpse in the crystal coffin, its eyes open and a strange red light flashing. His heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, nearly stopping. Terror washed over him like a surging tide, completely overwhelming him. Every hair on his body stood on end, and his body trembled violently and uncontrollably. "This... How is this possible!" Lin Yu's voice trembled with endless fear, as if it were squeezed from the depths of his soul. His mind went blank, and he instinctively clenched his weapon. Although he knew it might be futile, it was the only lifeline he could grasp at this moment.
Ye Li and Zhao Yang heard Lin Yu's terrified screams from the boat, their hearts instantly rising to their throats. Ye Li's face paled, her hands tightly clutching the communication device. Her voice trembled as she asked, "Lin Yu, what happened? Don't panic, try to describe the situation as clearly as possible!" Her eyes were filled with worry and fear, and beads of sweat covered her forehead and trickled down her cheeks.
Zhao Yang was extremely anxious, pacing back and forth, muttering to himself, "No, I have to go down and help him!" His eyes revealed determination, and he wanted to jump into the water immediately and face this unknown horror side by side with Lin Yu.
Lin Yu took a deep breath, trying to make his trembling voice a little steadier, and said: "The corpse in the crystal coffin... its eyes opened, emitting a strange red light, staring straight at me, as if... it was alive." His voice was full of despair and helplessness, as if he had already seen the scythe of the god of death waving before his eyes.
Ye Li forced herself to calm down, quickly thinking of a response. "Lin Yu, don't act rashly! This might just be some kind of trap or illusion. Try to observe if the corpse makes any further movements, and also pay attention to the surroundings to see if there are any changes," Ye Li said, trying to keep her voice calm, but the slight tremor in her voice betrayed her inner nervousness.
Lin Yu followed his instructions, staring intently at the corpse while glancing around with his peripheral vision. He noticed that as the corpse's eyes opened, the faint blue light around it dimmed, replaced by a dark red halo that spread from the crystal coffin, rendering the entire space even more eerie and terrifying. The murals on the walls, illuminated by this dark red halo, seemed to come alive. The figures and birds in the paintings began to distort and deform, presenting an eerie dynamic.
"The light around me changed, turning dark red, and the murals seemed to come alive. All these things were moving. It felt like the whole space had changed and it was getting more and more terrifying." Lin Yu said, his body pressed tightly against the wall, trying to find a sense of security, but the fear in his heart followed him like a shadow.
Ye Li listened to Lin Yu's description on the boat, her brow furrowed, her mind racing. "Lin Yu, do you remember the symbols and murals you saw earlier? Perhaps there's some connection between them that can help you navigate this situation. Think carefully about it and see if there are any details you've missed," Ye Li said, trying to find a solution to the crisis from the clues she knew.
Lin Yu forced himself to shake off his fear, trying to recall everything he had seen. Suddenly, he remembered that the figures dancing around the fireball in the mural, and the birds soaring above it, seemed to have a similar arrangement to the symbols on the stone gate. "Ye Li, I remember now. The scenes in the mural and the symbols on the stone gate seem to have a similar arrangement. Could it be that there's a certain sequence that triggers them in order to resolve this crisis? But I don't know how," Lin Yu said, a glimmer of hope in his eyes, but it was quickly eclipsed by fear.
Ye Li thought for a moment and said, "It's very likely. Try to look around to see if there are any mechanisms related to the murals or symbols. Perhaps triggering the mechanism can change the current situation. But you must be careful, because you don't know what will happen after triggering the mechanism." There was a hint of worry in Ye Li's voice, but at this moment he could only take the risk.
Lin Yu took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and stepped away from the wall, carefully searching his surroundings for any possible mechanism. His heartbeat was remarkably loud in the silence, and every step felt like stepping on his own heartbeat. Suddenly, he noticed several raised symbols on one side of the stone platform, strikingly similar to those on the stone door. "I've found some symbols on the side of the platform that look very similar to the ones on the stone door. Should I try to trigger them?" Lin Yu asked, feeling both excited and fearful of even more dire consequences.
Ye Li said, "Try carefully and pay attention to changes in your surroundings. If there is any danger, stop immediately."
Lin Yu slowly reached out and gently touched one of the symbols. Instantly, a current ran down his arm, causing him to feel numb all over. But he didn't flinch, continuing to touch the other symbols in the order he remembered them. As the last symbol was touched, a violent vibration erupted from the crystal coffin. The corpse's eyes glowed even more intensely, and a dark red halo of light began to spin rapidly around him, forming a massive vortex.
"Oh no, it seems like something has been triggered. The halo around me has turned into a vortex!" Lin Yu shouted in horror. He felt his body being pulled by a powerful force, approaching the center of the vortex.
Ye Li and Zhao Yang watched the data on the monitoring equipment on the boat jump wildly, and the situation became increasingly critical. Zhao Yang could no longer bear it and said, "Ye Li, I have to go down. Lin Yu can't hold on any longer!" Ye Li gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, be careful. I'll provide support on the boat."
Zhao Yang quickly put on his diving gear and jumped into the water. He swam as fast as he could towards Lin Yu's location. After a difficult swim, he finally reached the mysterious space. At this time, Lin Yu was desperately resisting the suction of the vortex, and his body was about to collapse.
