He was about to verify it again when he heard a series of "whimpering" roars from not far away. It was clear that the Taotie had caught up after devouring the corpses of their companions.
"Aunt, what should we do?" Pei Mianman looked at the Taotie that was faintly visible in the thick fog, her hands swirling with black flames, clearly preparing to enter the battle.
However, with so many Taotie beasts around, the two of them are most likely to meet a grim fate.
Zuan didn't have time to think about it any further and directly moved each character to its corresponding position according to the previous deduction.
The door was designed in an extremely ingenious way; the grid drawn by two horizontal and two vertical lines had grooves that allowed the surrounding character blocks to slide within it.
As he slid the last character in, the nine characters shone with a golden light. The golden light then spread out, filling the gap between the two doors from top to bottom, and then encircling both doors with golden light along the contours of the top and bottom surfaces.

The sound of gears and mechanisms came from inside, and then the two large doors slowly opened.
Pei Mianman stared at Zu An in shock: "Zu An, I really admire you more and more now. You can even solve such a difficult mechanism?"
She always prided herself on being clever, but looking at those strange patterns just now, she was completely baffled.
"Haha, you'll see how many amazing things I have to offer later." Although Zu An sounded smug, he secretly felt ashamed. The reason he was able to solve the puzzle was mainly because he was a transmigrator. If he didn't have the knowledge from his previous life, he would never have been able to figure it out.
"Show-off~" Pei Mianman's beautiful eyes sparkled. She wondered why Chu Yan could see his extraordinary nature so early, but she didn't have time to think about it now. She grabbed Zu An and ran into the stone gate. "The Taotie is catching up quickly, let's go in first!"
After the two ran into the gate, they instinctively tried to lock the stone door again to keep the Taotie out, but even with all their might, they still couldn't close the stone door.
With time running out, they had no chance to find the mechanism to close the door, so Zu'an had no choice but to pull Pei Mianman inside and escape.
"Waaah!" A Taotie howled as it reached the steps, about to pounce into the stone gate, when suddenly a cold light flashed and its body froze instantly.
The tall, burly skeleton warrior beside him slowly rose from the ground, a drop of blood slowly dripping from the long spear in his hand onto the ground with a soft sound.
Then the frozen Taotie trembled, and its enormous head slowly slid off its neck.

I was held up by some things today, so this is all for now. I'll finish it tomorrow.
