The silvery-white light, like a revealed secret, flashed by and disappeared in an instant.
Lin Yi and his two companions fell awkwardly onto the ground of the New World, like three bags of potatoes that had been roughly thrown away.
Gone, completely gone!
Behind him, the magnificent palace collapsed with a crash, like a washed-up internet celebrity whose final glory came to an abrupt end.
"Ouch, my back!" Long Wu rubbed his backside, his face saying, "I'm sore."
He looked up and around. This place, how should I put it, was gloomy and eerie, even more so than the antique vases in his grandfather's study.
The air was filled with an indescribable smell, like moldy socks mixed with expired perfume, making you want to pinch your nose and take a deep breath.
The thing under your feet is soft and squishy, like stepping on a giant slime, and it has a strange elasticity, as if it might bounce up and slap you at any moment.
If Lin Yi hadn't reacted quickly and pulled him back, he probably would have performed a bungee jump on the spot.
Chu Yao's electronic eyes flashed red, like a high-tech searchlight, diligently scanning everything around her.
"Environmental scanning in progress... Data anomaly, unable to match known area coordinates..." Her sweet voice carried a hint of the coldness characteristic of electronic tones. "Warning, high concentration of unknown energy particles detected..."
Unknown, still unknown! This place is even more mysterious than his mother's makeup bag.
Lin Yi frowned, his sharp eyes scanning his surroundings.
This place looks like a scene from a horror movie.
In the distance, specks of phosphorescence flickered, much like will-o'-the-wisps in a graveyard, giving one the creeps.
He subconsciously gripped the second Key of Creation in his hand. This thing was now his greatest reliance, and he felt it was even more reliable than his father's black card.
"It seems the trouble isn't over yet." Lin Yi's deep voice carried a hint of barely perceptible excitement.
trouble?
Who is Lin Yi?
Master of Time and Space!
Trouble is brewing, perfect opportunity to practice!
Suddenly, the ground shook, as if a giant monster was rolling around underground.
Immediately afterwards, a huge array of runes appeared out of thin air, the runes flashing with an eerie light, as if mocking their ignorance.
"What the hell is this thing?" Long Wu jumped up in fright and hid behind Lin Yi like a frightened little wife.
Chu Yao's electronic eyes worked at lightning speed, analyzing the energy fluctuations of the rune array.
“This is a very difficult puzzle; only by solving it can we proceed.” Her voice carried a hint of solemnity. “The rules of rune arrays are vastly different from common puzzles; conventional methods simply cannot solve them…”
The conventional methods aren't working?
Let's do the opposite!
A wicked smile curled at the corner of Lin Yi's lips.
He's not some well-behaved student; he's the master of time and space!
He carefully observed the arrangement and flashing pattern of the runes, and a flash of inspiration struck him.
Spacetime distortion!
Yes, it's spacetime distortion!
He can use the power of spacetime to change the relative positions of the runes, thus solving the puzzle.
"Chu Yao, help me calculate the energy nodes and spacetime coordinates of the rune array." Lin Yi's voice was calm and decisive, like a general commanding thousands of troops.
"Understood." Chu Yao's electronic eyes flashed blue, and data streamed rapidly in her eyes.
With Chu Yao's assistance, Lin Yi began to manipulate the power of spacetime. The energy fluctuations of the rune array began to change drastically, and the runes became erratic, as if they were drunk.
"It's done!" As the last rune returned to its place, the light of the rune array gradually faded, and a treasure chest appeared in front of them.
The treasure chest was filled with precious resources, materials to enhance time-space skills, powerful potions, and everything else imaginable—it was even more exciting than a Singles' Day flash sale.
Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that this adventure was quite worthwhile.
However, just as they were about to continue forward... Lin Yi suddenly stopped, looking ahead with a serious expression, and said in a low voice, "Wait..." However, just as they were about to continue forward and embark on their journey to explore the "Forgotten City," an unexpected change occurred!
The earth let out a painful groan, as if it had been torn apart by an invisible giant hand, and hideous cracks spread out like a spider web.
The ground trembled violently, as if some terrifying entity was about to burst forth from the earth.
"Holy crap, what's going on?" Long Wu stumbled, almost falling flat on his face. He stared wide-eyed in horror, feeling more thrilled than if he had seen a ghost.
From that bottomless crevice, a nauseating stench wafted out, like the smell of ten thousand rotten fish and shrimp mixed together, assaulting the senses.
Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a chilling roar, a group of bizarre monsters emerged from the ground and surrounded Lin Yi and his two companions.
These monsters look so abstract!
Some looked like winged toads, some like multi-legged centipedes that had become spirits, and some like a wriggling lump of rotten flesh. In short, none of them looked normal!
They exuded a chilling aura of evil, their scarlet eyes fixed on Lin Yi and the others, saliva dripping from their sharp fangs with a hissing sound, as if they would tear them to shreds at any moment.
"What... what the hell is this?!" Long Wu was so frightened that his face turned pale and his voice began to tremble. He hid behind Lin Yi, shivering like a frightened chick.
Lin Yi frowned, his sharp eyes scanning the densely packed monsters around him, thinking to himself, "It seems the guardians of this 'Forgotten City' aren't so friendly..."
Chu Yao's electronic eyes scanned the monsters' data rapidly, her sweet voice tinged with seriousness: "Warning, high-risk creatures detected... numerous... combat capability assessment in progress..."
"Numerous numbers? Combat strength assessment?" Lin Yi's lips curled into a cold smile. "Hmph, using numbers to bully the few? I'm not afraid of numbers at all!"
He gripped the Key of Creation tightly in his hand, and a powerful force of spacetime surged within him, as if it were about to erupt at any moment!
"Yaoyao, prepare for battle!"
"clear!"
The atmosphere froze instantly, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.
Suddenly, Lin Yi's gaze sharpened. He noticed that the monsters' movements seemed somewhat... stiff?
He narrowed his eyes slightly, a bold guess forming in his mind...
"etc……"
