Chapter 932: Trial in the Depths of the Maze

"Click——"

There was a loud bang, and as the heavy door slowly opened, an intense light emerged, making it almost impossible to open one's eyes.

"Wow! I knew this was the legendary 'Gate of Destiny'!" Zhang Meng stood in front of the door, his eyes shining like two stars, "I feel like my heroic spirit is about to burst out again!"

Qing'er rolled her eyes: "You, can you stop fantasizing? You have no idea what is behind this door."

"I know, it must be a treasure!" Zhang Meng was full of confidence, "Otherwise how could it be so shiny?"

"What does the flashing mean? It means danger!" Qing'er reminded, "We have to be careful before we go in."

"Don't worry, danger is never a problem." Zhang Meng waved his hand and walked into the door nonchalantly.

"This is really crazy..." Qing'er watched him walk in and couldn't help but sigh, "He's walking towards death."

"Let's go in quickly." Qiqi put away his wand and looked down at the rune in his hand. "If that is really a trap, we have to find a way to break it as soon as possible."

"Don't be afraid!" Zhang Meng said cheerfully from inside the door, "The atmosphere in this place is great! It's pretty much what I imagined!"

"Can't you be quiet?" Qing'er gritted her teeth and followed him in.

After entering the gate, the first thing that catches your eye is an empty hall with colorful stone bricks on the floor. There are countless small doors flashing with light around it, and a strange energy atmosphere is in the air.

"This place..." Qing'er narrowed her eyes, "It doesn't feel like a relic, but more like some kind of altar."

"Altar? Are you overthinking it? This is a temple! It must be a temple!" Zhang Meng looked around with excitement on his face, "Look at the shapes of these sculptures, they are full of power!"

"Sculptures?" Qing'er looked up and found that there were indeed several lifelike sculptures around, each holding a weapon and in a majestic posture. However, after a closer look, Qing'er's face changed: "Why do these sculptures all have expressions of 'death'?"

"Death expression?" Zhang Meng also took a closer look and shuddered. "No way? Is this really the temple of the god of death?"

"Can't you analyze it calmly?" Qing'er sighed helplessly, "Are these sculptures hinting at something?"

"Never mind, it's always a good idea to go in and take a look." Zhang Meng walked confidently towards the center of the hall, and suddenly stopped, "Huh? Why does the ground seem a little different?"

Qing'er and Qiqi hurried over and looked down. There were indeed some subtle changes in the floor tiles. Their patterns and colors were slightly different, and there seemed to be some faint cracks around them.

"There's a mechanism here!" Qiqi said, "Look at this line, it should be the trigger point to activate the mechanism."

"Mechanism?" Zhang Meng showed an excited expression, "I haven't come across a mechanism in a long time, let me do it this time!"

"Don't do anything rash!" Qing'er hurriedly stopped him, "We have to think it through first and not touch it casually."

"Don't worry! I, Zhang Meng, have never been afraid of mechanisms!" Zhang Meng patted his chest, looked down at the floor tiles, and smiled, "This line looks like a simple switch!"

"You say it's simple? What if it really is a trap?" Qing'er asked worriedly.

"It's okay, don't worry." Zhang Meng was full of confidence. He suddenly jumped onto the floor tile and pressed it down.

"boom--"

With a loud bang, the whole hall suddenly began to shake. Violent noises came from the surrounding walls. A golden altar slowly rose from under the floor tiles, and a huge ball of light was suspended above the altar.

"Wow! I knew there was a treasure!" Zhang Meng pointed at the ball of light excitedly, "It must be a gift from the gods!"

"Treasure? You've seen it wrong!" Qing'er was stunned, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, "This is not a treasure, it's a trial!"

"Trial?" Zhang Meng's expression changed slightly. "What do you mean?"

"That's right, a trial!" Qing'er's face also turned serious. "Look at the symbol on the altar. It's the same as the runes we saw before. It's a sign of challenge."

"Challenge?" Zhang Meng regretted it a little, "Then...what should we do?"

"This is the most troublesome part." Qiqi said seriously, "The content of this trial may be much more complicated than you think."

At this moment, the ball of light suddenly burst into dazzling light, the ceiling of the entire hall shook violently, and then footsteps came from all directions.

"Who?" Qing'er asked vigilantly.

"It's not who, it's 'what'." Zhang Meng swallowed his saliva, "I think this thing doesn't look like a human, it looks more like a monster!"

Suddenly, several huge figures rushed out from the shadows of the hall at an incredible speed and approached them in the blink of an eye.

"Watch how I deal with you!" Zhang Meng suddenly jumped up, turned his hands into fists, and prepared to fight.

"Don't be silly!" Qing'er held him back, "This trial can definitely not be solved by brute force!"

"Don't be afraid, I don't believe anything can beat me!" Zhang Meng became excited and waved his fists ready to fight.

However, at this moment, the speed of those monsters increased sharply, making Zhang Meng's attack almost completely ineffective.

"Get out of the way!" Qing'er shouted, pulling Zhang Meng to avoid the attack.

"It seems... these monsters don't seem to be here to fight us." Qiqi frowned, "They are part of the trial."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Meng was a little stunned, "Are we not going to fight them?"

"We have to pass their tests." Qing'er raised her eyebrows, "This kind of trial should be a combination of wisdom and strength."

"Test?" Zhang Meng frowned. "Should I use my strength or my brain?"

"You have to use your brain." Qing'er answered without hesitation, "In this situation, only calmness and wisdom can get us out of danger."

"Okay, I'll try!" Zhang Meng shouted, and suddenly he dodged the monster's attack with a difficult roll. "I think this should be the way."

However, although Zhang Meng moved quickly, the monster was too fast and he was caught up as soon as he turned around.

"Don't be impulsive! Calm down first!" Qing'er held him back, "Otherwise we will all be in trouble."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zhang Meng nodded reluctantly.

At this moment, the energy of the light ball suddenly fluctuated, and the light on the altar began to gradually dim.

"Hurry! The ball of light is starting to weaken!" Qing'er shouted, "We must take advantage of this opportunity to solve the problem!"

"I understand!" Zhang Meng's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "I'll lead them away, and you take the opportunity to deal with the light ball!"

"Are you crazy?" Qing'er was almost mad, "Are you going to die again?"

"Don't worry, I'm not going to die. I'm just going to lead them over!" Zhang Meng forced a smile and jumped towards the group of monsters, "Quick!"

As Zhang Meng moved quickly, the monsters began to focus their attention on chasing him. Qing'er and Qiqi took the opportunity to rush to the altar and began to look for flaws.

"Almost there!" Qing'er whispered, watching the energy of the light ball getting weaker and weaker, "Just a little more time!"
