Chapter 526: The Cat Lord's Garden Puzzle, a War of Friendship

After experiencing the "Candy Trap Adventure", Qin Feng, Chu Tian, ​​Ye Li and Zhang Meng finally escaped from the crazy sweet world temporarily and came to a seemingly peaceful garden. However, they knew that the peace in the dream was always short-lived, especially the laughter of the cat lord was still echoing in the distance, as if foreshadowing that there would be more difficult challenges waiting for them next.

"Small garden? Aren't they asking us to pick flowers this time?" Zhang Meng looked at the colorful flowers around him with some confusion. The fragrance of flowers was so strong that he felt as if he was in a fairy tale paradise.

Chu Tian couldn't help but joked: "If it's just picking flowers, I'd be willing to do it, but I don't think it's that simple."

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes and carefully observed his surroundings. The garden seemed beautiful and peaceful, but he could sense a hint of instability in the air: "Everyone, be careful. The Vice Dean's dream will not let us relax so easily."

Just as they were about to continue exploring the garden, the ground suddenly began to shake slightly, and then a huge rose flower broke out of the ground. The rose flower was three stories high, with bright red petals and a strong fragrance. But what was disturbing was that the flower actually had a cat's face!

"Meow hahaha! Welcome to my garden puzzle! In this level, you will have to solve the garden puzzle I carefully designed." The cat lord's face appeared from the roses and he let out a smug laugh.

"It's you again!" Zhang Meng frowned immediately when he saw the cat face. "What tricks do you have this time?"

The Cat Lord laughed even louder. "This is not a trick. This is a puzzle that tests your wisdom. If you can solve the puzzle in the garden and find the right way out, I might consider letting you pass. But be careful, every wrong choice will bring unexpected consequences."

"Looks like we have to use our brains." Qin Feng responded calmly. He had long been accustomed to all kinds of strange challenges in his dreams.

"Then where do we start?" Ye Li asked, looking around the garden in front of her. There were several paths in the garden, each leading to a different direction, like a complicated maze.

The voice of the cat lord came from the roses again: "In this garden, there are three correct paths leading to the exit, but there are different puzzles waiting for you on each path. You need to work together to solve these puzzles to find the key to victory. If you choose the wrong path... hehe, then you will encounter a 'surprise'."

"That doesn't sound good." Chu Tian shrugged, "We have to use our brains this time, or we'll fall into the trap of dreams again."

"Shall we go separately or act together?" Zhang Meng asked. He obviously preferred to solve the problem directly with force.

Qin Feng thought for a moment and finally decided: "It is safer to act together. There are too many traps in the dream. Separating may increase the danger."

The four reached a consensus and chose the first path on the left, and walked in cautiously. The path was lined with all kinds of exotic flowers, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers. It was so quiet that it seemed as if everything was peaceful. However, not long after they walked, they were suddenly blocked by a huge vine wall. The vine wall was full of purple bell flowers, and a small bell was hung in each flower.

"Is this the first puzzle?" Ye Li approached the vine wall and observed the bell flowers carefully.

The voice of the Cat Lord sounded again: "This vine wall is the first puzzle. Only by ringing the bells in the correct order can the vines retreat. But if you ring the bells in the wrong order, hehe... you will be entangled by the vines until you turn into nutrients."

"Nutrients? This dream is getting more and more weird." Chu Tian scratched his head uneasily, obviously not liking this puzzle very much.

Zhang Meng stood aside and said nonchalantly: "It's not that difficult. Just ring a few bells and give it a try!"

"Wait! Don't knock randomly!" Qin Feng immediately stopped Zhang Meng. He carefully observed the bells on the vine wall, trying to find out the pattern.

Ye Li also came over and said thoughtfully: "I noticed that the colors of these bell flowers are different shades. Maybe this is the key."

Qin Feng nodded: "Maybe it's better to ring the bells in order from shallow to deep, let's try it."

After some discussion, they decided to ring the bells in order of color from light to dark. Qin Feng carefully rang the lightest bell, then Ye Li rang the second one, followed by Chu Tian and Zhang Meng. Every time a bell was rung, the vine wall trembled slightly, as if responding to their choice.

Finally, when the last bell was rung, the vine wall suddenly and slowly retreated, leaving a passage for them.

"Done!" Zhang Meng shouted happily, as if everything had become simple.

"Don't be happy too soon, we still have two puzzles to solve." Qin Feng reminded and took the lead to move forward.

They continued along the path and soon encountered the second puzzle. This time it was a stone bridge with various wind chimes hanging on both sides. When the breeze blew, the wind chimes made pleasant tinkling sounds. However, the cat lord reminded again: "This bridge can only be crossed once. Each of you must choose a wind chime. Only if you choose the right wind chime can the bridge bear your weight. If you choose the wrong one... the bridge will collapse."

"Another deadly multiple-choice question." Chu Tian sighed and looked at the wind chimes in front of him, "What should we choose?"

Zhang Meng scratched his head and said, "This is easy! I'll pick one that looks good!"

Qin Feng quickly stopped Zhang Meng: "Don't choose randomly! This bridge looks unstable. If you choose the wrong one, you might really fall down."

Ye Li carefully observed the wind chimes and found that each one had a slightly different shape. She pointed to one of the wind chimes and said, "Look, this wind chime has the mark of a cat's paw. It may be related to the Cat Lord."

"Try this one." Qin Feng said decisively and chose the wind chime with the cat's paw mark.

Sure enough, when they walked across the stone bridge one by one, the bridge was as solid as before, without any shaking.

"Huh, it looks like we guessed right." Chu Tian breathed a sigh of relief, "There's only one puzzle left."

They continued forward and reached the last level. This time, they faced a huge maze with complex patterns on the walls and each passage seemed to have endless forks.

The voice of the Cat Lord sounded again: "The last puzzle is a maze. You must find the exit within the specified time, otherwise, the maze will be closed forever."

"Maze?" Zhang Meng had a headache. "We are in trouble now."

"Don't worry, I have a way." Qin Feng recalled the experience they had learned in the dream before, "The maze usually has some clues. As long as we can find the key point, we should be able to solve it."

They quickly split up and looked for clues in the maze. Ye Li noticed that the patterns on the wall seemed to be some kind of guidance. After careful study, she found that these patterns were actually route hints.

"Look, these patterns are guides to a path!" Ye Li said, pointing at the wall.

"Great, let's follow it!" Qin Feng led everyone along the route indicated by the pattern and finally successfully found the exit.

When they passed through the last door of the maze, the voice of the Cat Lord came again: "Congratulations, you have successfully solved my garden puzzle. However, the next challenge will be more interesting. I wish you good luck!"

Although they successfully passed the garden puzzle, the four knew that this was only part of the dream challenge. The conspiracy of the cat lord is far from over, and their adventure has just begun.
