Chapter 519 The White Figure Making Trouble
Chen Yile looked in the direction she pointed. The handle looked rusty and had some strange patterns carved around it. He walked over and tried to pull it, but the handle didn't move at all.
"It seems not that simple." Chen Yile muttered to himself.
At this moment, a cold wind blew by, and there seemed to be a strange laugh in the wind, which made people feel creepy.
Immediately afterwards, several white figures slowly floated out from the darkness of the passage.
Their bodies were illusory, resembling human forms, yet exuding a hazy feeling. Their faces were blurry, and only two black eye sockets could be seen floating towards them.
The audience in the live broadcast room became nervous again, and the barrage of comments kept refreshing the screen.
"Oh my goodness, what the hell is this? It's creepy just looking at it!"
"Brother Chen, this ghost thing is not easy to deal with, be careful!"
Chen Yile gripped the Heavenly Master Sword tightly and shouted at Qingting and Ah Xiang, "Be careful, don't let these things get close to you. I'll deal with them."
As he spoke, he rushed towards the white figures, swung the Heavenly Master Sword in his hand, and shouted: "The might of the Heavenly Master Sword, slay ghosts and exorcise spirits, break!"
A sword energy shot towards the white figures, but the sword energy passed through them directly. The white figures were not affected at all and still floated towards them slowly.
Chen Yile was shocked. He had not expected this thing to be so difficult to deal with. He quickly changed his strategy and formed seals with his hands, muttering to himself: "The two worlds of Yin and Yang, the universe has its own laws, the spiritual light gathers at the top, dispel the evil spirits, command!"
As the spell fell, a layer of golden light emanated from his body, covering the white figures.
This time, the white figures seemed to be stimulated by something. They let out a sharp cry and retreated a little, but still refused to leave. They lingered not far away, as if looking for an opportunity to get closer again.
Taking advantage of this gap, Chen Yile turned around to study the handle. He found that there were several grooves on the pattern next to the handle, and the shape was a bit like part of the monster patterns he had seen on the stone slab before.
He had an idea and wondered if he would need to embed objects with corresponding patterns into these grooves before he could pull the handle.
He quickly called Qingting and A Xiang to look around to see if there were any similar objects.
The three of them split up and searched. After a while, Qingting found a few matching pieces of stone under a rock in the corner of the wall. He shouted excitedly, "Brother Yile, I found it. Look, are these the ones?"
Chen Yile took the stone and looked at it, then said, "That should be it. Let's try it."
They embedded the stone pieces one by one according to the shape of the groove. There was a "click" sound and the handle seemed to loosen a little.
Chen Yile hurriedly pulled hard, and with a rumbling sound, the chains tied to the stone ball began to tighten slowly, and the stone ball stopped shaking and was fixed in place.
"Great, we finally figured out the mechanism." Dragonfly said, patting his chest, with a hint of relief on his face for surviving the disaster.
But before they could be happy for long, the ground beneath their feet suddenly shook violently, and the stone slabs began to move and dislocate. In some places, huge cracks even appeared, and a faint black mist emerged from the cracks.
"Oh no, another mechanism has been triggered. Everyone, be careful not to fall!" Chen Yile shouted loudly.
He held Qingting in one hand and Ah Xiang in the other, trying to keep his body steady, his eyes quickly searching for a relatively safe place to land.
The hearts of the audience in the live broadcast room were in their throats again, and the barrage of comments was scrolling rapidly.
"These traps are happening one after another, leaving no room for respite. Come on, Brother Chen!"
"It felt like every step I took was on the brink of life and death. It was so thrilling, and so scary!"
At this moment, some pitch-black beetles slowly crawled out from the black mist. Their shells were hard and had a metallic luster. Their pincers were wide open, making a "clicking" sound, and they crawled towards them quickly.
Chen Yile looked at the beetles, frowning, and said, "These bugs don't look easy to deal with. Everyone, don't let them get close."
As he spoke, he raised his foot and stepped on the approaching beetles, thinking that he could kill a few of them, but the beetles were extremely hard. Chen Yile's kick only made them turn over, but they quickly turned over again and continued to crawl towards them.
Seeing this, Dragonfly took out a bottle of insect repellent from his bag and sprinkled it towards the beetles, muttering, "The potion repels insects, all insects, give way, scatter!"
But the beetles didn't seem to care about the potion at all and continued to come in droves.
Ah Xiang was so scared that she hid behind Chen Yile and said anxiously, "Brother Yile, what should we do? There are more and more of them."
Chen Yile gritted his teeth and swung the Heavenly Master Sword again, slashing towards the beetle swarm, shouting, "The Heavenly Master Sword cuts, destroys the evil and eliminates the insects, kill!"
This time, the Tianshi Sword showed its power, cutting the beetles into two halves and splashing black juice all over the ground.
But there were too many beetles. As soon as they cut down a batch, more came up and surrounded them in an increasingly smaller circle.
Chen Yile waved his sword and looked around, thinking that he had to find a way to crack the mechanism quickly, otherwise he would be overwhelmed by these beetles sooner or later.
Suddenly, he discovered that the black mist in the cracks seemed to be flowing in one direction. He had an idea and thought that maybe he could find the key to the mechanism by following the direction of the mist.
"Follow the fog, maybe we can find an exit or a place to shut down the mechanism." Chen Yile shouted to Qingting and A Xiang.
The three men struggled to move towards the direction of the fog among the constantly moving stone slabs and swarms of beetles. They were all injured to varying degrees, and their clothes were torn by the beetles' pincers. They looked in a miserable state.
Finally, they found something like a console on the side of the passage. There were several buttons of different colors on it, and there was a faint light flashing around the buttons.
Chen Yile walked forward, looked at the buttons, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I feel like this is the key to controlling the mechanism, but I don't know what will be triggered if I press the wrong button. It's really a headache."
Dragonfly looked at the buttons and said, "Brother Yile, why don't we give it a try? It's better than being eaten by these beetles."
Chen Yile gritted his teeth and said, "This is the only way. I'll try pressing the red one first. You guys step back, just in case."
As he spoke, he reached out and pressed the red button. In an instant, the vibrations around him stopped and the stone slabs returned to their original positions.
The beetles seemed to have lost their power, stopped one after another, and began to crawl back. After a while, they all disappeared into the crack, and the black mist gradually dissipated.
