Chapter 211: Lake Adventure, Distress and Puzzle Solving

The wooden boat floating on the lake moved slowly, and Qin Feng and his companions were ready to face new challenges. The lake water was clear, but the mist floating on the lake gave people a sense of mystery.

"This ship looks very old." Wang Hao touched the side of the ship with his fingers curiously. "Will it suddenly crack?"

"Don't say such unlucky words." Chu Tian glared at Wang Hao, "This ship is the key to our next level, so it's best to behave yourself."

"Don't worry, this boat can float here, there will be no problem." Qin Feng sat on the bow with a serious expression, "Everyone pay attention to safety, we don't know what will be ahead."

Ye Li looked at the scenery in the lake and smiled slightly. "Although the lake is beautiful, we can't be fooled by the surface. Legend has it that there are all kinds of traps and mysteries hidden in the lake."

"It seems we need to be more careful." Shadow said, "As long as we stay alert, we can get through smoothly."

The wooden boat had been sailing in the lake for a while when suddenly there was a rumble from under the boat and the entire lake surface began to fluctuate violently. The people on the boat were instantly startled and the wooden planks under their feet made a harsh creaking sound.

"Is this boat going to capsize?" Zhang Meng shouted, "I'm just beginning to enjoy this journey!"

"Everyone, don't panic!" Qin Feng commanded loudly, "Look around carefully, we may face new challenges."

At this moment, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared in the lake, and the wooden boat was sucked into it, spinning rapidly. Everyone grabbed the side of the boat and tried their best to keep their balance.

"It looks like we're going to the 'sewer'." Chu Tian teased, "But it's a particularly luxurious sewer."

"If this is a joke, I hope you can laugh." Wang Hao held the side of the boat tightly, his mouth twitching.

As the wooden boat was sucked into the whirlpool, everyone felt a strong pressure and the surrounding scene began to blur. Suddenly, the boat was ejected from the whirlpool and landed on a mysterious island.

"Have we arrived yet?" Ye Li looked around. "The environment here is completely different from before."

"It seems that the atmosphere here is even weirder." Shadow said, "There are strange stone pillars all around. Could it be some kind of mysterious ruins?"

The stone pillars were engraved with strange runes, each of which was glowing with a faint light. Qin Feng approached one of the stone pillars and observed it carefully.

"I seem to have seen these runes somewhere before." Qin Feng pondered, "But now I can't remember their specific meanings."

"Maybe we need to find a way to decipher these runes." Ye Li said, "Maybe this is the mystery we need to solve next."

While everyone was discussing, the ground next to the stone pillar suddenly collapsed, revealing a hidden mechanism. In the middle of the mechanism was a complex puzzle device with various dials and buttons.

"It looks like we have to solve this puzzle." Chu Tian said, "Otherwise we might be trapped here."

"Okay, let me try." Zhang Meng took the initiative to step forward and observe the puzzle-solving device. "This device looks like a combination lock. We may need to operate it in a certain order."

Zhang Meng fumbled for a while, trying to find the correct order, but the various buttons and dials on the device confused him.

"It doesn't seem that simple." Zhang Meng said frustratedly, "This device is so complicated that it drives me crazy."

"Let me try." Qin Feng took the puzzle device and carefully observed the runes and patterns on it. He found that some runes were very similar to the runes he encountered in the lake before, and it seemed that he could find clues.

"Everyone, please help me pay attention to the changes around us." Qin Feng began to operate the buttons on the device and turned the dial.

As Qin Feng operated, the runes on the stone pillar began to flicker, gradually forming a new set of patterns. The mechanism of the puzzle-solving device was also gradually operating, making a slight humming sound.

"It seems like we are making some progress." Shadow said, "Keep it up, we are almost cracking it."

With everyone's efforts, the puzzle device made a crisp sound, and then the mechanism on the ground began to move, revealing a hidden hole.

"We succeeded!" Wang Hao shouted excitedly, "This cave entrance may lead to a new area."

"Everyone be careful, be prepared before going in." Qin Feng said, "No matter what is ahead, we must stay alert."

After entering the cave, everyone found a long passage with various ancient treasures and rare items on both sides of the passage, but they were all firmly locked in glass covers.

"These treasures look very precious." Ye Li said, "But we can't covet these things easily. Our goal is to find clues."

"That's right." Chu Tian nodded, "But who can guarantee that we won't be attracted by these treasures?"

Just as everyone was walking in the passage, suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded, and the walls of the entire passage began to move, releasing various mechanisms and traps.

"It looks like we are in trouble again." Shadow said, "We need to get through this passage quickly."

"Everyone be careful!" Qin Feng shouted, "These traps may become more dangerous!"

Everyone moved quickly, dodging the traps and mechanisms that kept appearing, and after some thrilling dodging, they finally came to an ancient iron door. There was an ancient keyhole on the iron door, which just corresponded to the previous puzzle device.

"This is the key to our entry into the next level." Qin Feng said, "Everyone get ready and keep moving forward!"

They used the clues they found in the previous puzzle device to open the ancient iron door. Behind the door was a room full of mysterious light, with an ancient altar in the center, and a glittering stone slab inlaid on the altar.

"This slate may be the key to our search." Ye Li said, "Handle it with care."

Qin Feng stepped forward and carefully examined the runes and patterns on the stone slab. They found that these runes had many similarities with the runes in the lake and seemed to be related to the previous clues.

"It looks like we are about to find the answer." Qin Feng said, "This slate may reveal what we should do next."

Just as everyone was about to continue studying the stone slab, the walls of the room suddenly began to move, and the space around the altar gradually shrank. Apparently some hidden mechanism had been activated.

"We have to solve this puzzle as soon as possible, otherwise we will be trapped here." Chu Tian said, "Come on, everyone!"

Everyone worked hard and finally solved the puzzle on the stone slab. The walls of the room stopped moving and the light gradually returned to normal.

"We succeeded!" Wang Hao said excitedly, "The secret of this stone slab has finally been revealed."

"It seems that we are one step closer to success." Qin Feng smiled and said, "Everyone keep working hard, we will definitely be able to complete the task."

As the peace of the room returned, Qin Feng and his companions realized that the next journey might be more complicated and dangerous, but they believed that as long as they united, used wisdom and courage, they would be able to complete their mission.

Everyone continued to move forward with a relaxed mood, looking forward to new challenges and adventures. Their journey has just begun, full of endless unknowns and surprises.
