After defeating the black-robed man, Lin Yu and his party took a short break and immediately began to study the clues about the dark forces’ lair dug out from the ruins information. Lin Yu closed his eyes and carefully sorted out the obscure information fragments in his mind, trying to piece together a complete picture. Chen Feng and Linghu were quietly guarding on the side, not daring to slack off.
As Lin Yu interpreted the information in depth, his brows furrowed more and more. These clues are like broken puzzles, seemingly related, but it is difficult to find an accurate way to splice them together. Some of the clues seem to point to a mysterious dark forest. Legend has it that the forest is full of strange power, and it is difficult for anyone who enters it to escape unscathed. Another part of the clues mentions an ancient rune language. Only by interpreting this rune language can the specific location of the dark forces’ lair be further clarified.
Lin Yu told Chen Feng and Linghu about these situations, and the three of them realized that this would be a more difficult challenge. “It seems that we must first find a way to interpret this rune language.” Chen Feng said thoughtfully. Lin Yu nodded, “I remember that in the antique shop I run, there is an ancient book that seems to record some information similar to runes. Maybe we can start from there.”
So the three decided to return to Lin Yu’s antique shop. When they returned to the familiar street, they found that the atmosphere around them was a little strange. The originally bustling streets became deserted, most of the shops were closed, and occasionally a few pedestrians were in a hurry, with fear in their eyes.
Lin Yu had an ominous premonition in his heart. When they came to the door of the antique shop, they found that the door was locked with a huge black padlock, and the padlock was engraved with strange runes. Lin Yu tried to open the padlock with the power of the fused Buddhist beads, but as soon as the Buddhist beads approached, the runes on the padlock lit up with a strange red light, and a powerful recoil force repelled Lin Yu.
“This should be the means of the dark forces. They seem to know that we will come back to find clues.” Lin Yu said with gritted teeth. At this time, an old neighbor came over secretly, pulled Lin Yu’s clothes, and whispered: “Xiao Lin, you are finally back. Since you left, a group of strange people have been wandering around here, saying that whoever helps you will not have a good result. What trouble have you gotten into?”
Lin Yu’s heart sank. He didn’t expect the dark forces to move so quickly and have begun to attack the people around him. They not only blocked the antique shop, but also threatened the neighbors around. But Lin Yu knew that the more this time, the more he couldn’t retreat.
How can they crack this mysterious lock and get the key clues that may exist in the antique shop? What kind of traps have the dark forces set around? In the process of finding a way to interpret the rune language, what unknown dangers will they encounter? Many difficulties are placed in front of Lin Yu, Chen Feng and Linghu. How will they break through this mystery…
