After taking a bottle of advanced mental energy recovery potion, Gu Xi felt much better.
She stared at the keyhole on the giant door while tugging at the sticky iron chain.
Although she cannot separate from the chains now, she can still control their direction. As long as the chains are not aggressive, she can quickly move to the front of the giant gate.
A fleeting thought crossed her mind, and she moved directly toward the giant gate.
Since the chain was caused by the direction the key turned, the problem should also be solved with the key.
It's unlikely she can turn the key back now, but she can find new ways to open the door quickly. Once she successfully opens the giant door, the chains and such will naturally no longer pose a threat.
After quickly assessing the situation, Gu Xi focused her thoughts, numerous details and fragments of information flashing through her mind and constantly overlapping. Her expression grew increasingly serious as time passed.
Gu Xi: What is it?! How do I open the door?!
The runes floating on the giant gate changed faster and faster, and this ball of light suddenly brightened in the darkness. Now they were gathered together, as if they might explode at any moment.
It was so dazzling that it was easy to lose sight of everything else.
The glaring light made Gu Xi instinctively raise her hand to block it. She tilted her head and inadvertently caught a glimpse of dark red.
"Huh? What's that?"
The faint red light did not originate from a single location; rather, it appeared as faint specks of light in multiple locations around the keyhole.
Gu Xi seemed to have thought of something, and she quickly took out the drawing she had made the day before yesterday.
She noticed that the runes here were different from those in other locations, so she marked them out.
She unfolded the blueprints and scanned them quickly.
"This rune is in a different position than before!" Gu Xi frowned. Although she didn't know when the positions of these special runes had changed, she guessed that it was probably related to the opening of the door.
There were 12 runes arranged in a ring, and the patterns on them were quite strange. She didn't recognize them at all. Fortunately, she had written down the patterns beforehand, otherwise she would have had no idea how to identify them.
Gu Xi summoned spikes and quickly used them to press down on one of the runes, intending to move it to its previous position, but the runes remained motionless.
Realizing that the runes couldn't be moved, she immediately changed her approach, starting with a certain pattern and touching each rune in sequence.
As she touched the last rune, the light from the rune cluster not far behind her gradually subsided. Furthermore, the chains that had been absorbing her spiritual energy stopped.
As these threats gradually subsided, so did her tense heartbeat.
Exhausted, she leaned against the wall and took out a bottle of high-level mental energy recovery potion from her backpack.
Honestly, she was terrified when she pressed the last rune. It was a close call; she thought she was going to die.
Gu Xi looked at the massive gate, frowned, and closed his eyes.
Although the door wasn't open, the situation was at least better now. Both the chains and the runes seemed to be on pause, posing little threat to her.
She slowly sat up, tapped her heart with her left hand, took a deep breath, and then manipulated the spikes to fly towards the keyhole again.
Her key was still in the keyhole; she had to keep trying to open the door.
