Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

Chapter 774 Zhang Meng's "Genius Strategy" and the Ultimate Puzzle

As the door slowly opened, Qin Feng and his party stepped into the new area, and the scene in front of them stunned them instantly. This was not a narrow passage, nor was it the underground hall they were used to, but a vast space surrounded by star-like light spots, as if they were in the embrace of the universe.

"This... are we in space?" Zhang Meng subconsciously took a few steps forward and looked up at the boundless "starry sky" above his head.

"This can't be space," Ye Li shook her head and said, "It should be some kind of illusion, or we have entered a virtual space."

Qin Feng looked around with a serious expression: "No matter where this place is, it is obviously the final test of this adventure."

"It's always 'finally', but it turns out not to be the case." Chu Tian sighed helplessly, "I'm a little immune to the word 'finally' now."

Zhang Meng put his hands on his hips and said with a sneer, "I told you, we will definitely have a lot of troubles waiting for us. Every time there is hope, it turns out to be a pit."

Qin Feng smiled slightly: "Maybe this time it's really different. Look ahead."

Following Qin Feng's guidance, they saw a towering altar in the center of the distance. A huge energy ball was suspended on the altar, flashing a dazzling light, which seemed to be the core of the entire space. What was even more surprising was that around the energy ball, there were six huge stone slabs floating, each of which was engraved with ancient symbols and exuded mysterious power.

"Symbols again!" Zhang Meng looked at the six stone slabs with a helpless look on his face, "I really hate these symbols more and more."

Ye Li smiled and said, "It seems that this test is closely related to these symbols. Every time we see this kind of altar, it is the beginning of some kind of trial."

"Then let's get started quickly." Chu Tian rolled up his sleeves, looking eager to try, "I'm ready for the final test."

Qin Feng nodded and walked towards the towering altar. He could feel a strong energy emanating from the energy ball in the center of the altar, as if calling them to go there. However, the closer they got to the altar, the stronger the sense of oppression from that energy became, as if warning them not to act rashly.

"Everyone be careful," Qin Feng warned, "This energy ball is obviously not an ordinary device. It may be the core of the entire space. If we are not careful, it may trigger some unknown force."

"It sounds dangerous." Zhang Meng muttered, "But since we have come this far, we have to fight it out."

Walking to the altar, Qin Feng carefully observed the six suspended stone slabs. He found that the symbols on the slabs were arranged in a very regular pattern, which seemed to be some kind of code or hint, and the combination of these symbols seemed to be related to the puzzles they had encountered before.

"These six stone tablets should be the key to unlocking the secrets of this space." Qin Feng pondered, "We must interpret the meaning of these symbols and then operate in the correct order."

"I see you always say that, and then we have to spend a long time decoding it." Zhang Meng rolled his eyes, "Can you be faster this time?"

Ye Li joked, "Why don't you solve it?"

Zhang Meng patted his chest and suddenly said mysteriously: "Hey, I have a plan this time."

Chu Tian looked suspicious: "You have a plan? Last time your 'plan' almost got us teleported to some weird place, what are you going to do this time?"

Zhang Meng showed a smug expression: "You didn't notice, did you? The arrangement of the symbols this time is a bit similar to those in the maze last time, but this time it is more complicated. So I think that as long as we work hard, a miracle will happen..."

Qin Feng interrupted quickly: "No, we can't fight head-on this time. These symbols on the stone slab must have some kind of mechanism hidden. If you move around, it is likely to trigger a trap."

Zhang Meng curled his lips: "I knew you would say that. But I have another way!"

Ye Li couldn't help but ask: "What method?"

Zhang Meng smiled mysteriously and took out a small dice from his arms: "Hey, didn't I find the dice from the basement last time? Didn't you notice it? It emits light every time it is in front of a symbol. I think it may be the key to unlocking these symbols."

Chu Tian was stunned: "You said this broken dice can solve the puzzle? You are not kidding, right?"

Zhang Meng shook his head proudly: "Don't underestimate it. I think it is specially used to decipher these symbols. Last time in the secret passage, I took it out and tried it casually, and the symbols all lit up."

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Wait...what you said may make sense. This dice is probably some kind of ancient ritual prop, specially used to activate these symbols."

"I told you, my feeling was right!" Zhang Meng waved the dice in his hand proudly, "So just listen to me this time, as long as we use it to decipher these symbols, we will definitely pass the level!"

Ye Li still had some doubts: "Is it really that simple?"

Qin Feng pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Why not give it a try."

So, under the gaze of everyone, Zhang Meng stepped forward and gently threw the dice in his hand towards the first slate. Unexpectedly, the moment the dice touched the slate, the symbol on the slate immediately emitted a dazzling light, as if it had been activated.

"See! I told you I had a way!" Zhang Meng said proudly.

Chu Tian looked at the glowing slate in amazement and murmured, "Your luck is too good, isn't it? You actually solved it!"

Qin Feng couldn't help but nodded: "It seems that this dice is indeed the key to unlocking these symbols. Let's continue to follow this method."

Zhang Meng was extremely proud and threw the dice at several other slabs of stone in the same way. Every time the dice touched a slab, the symbol would be activated and emit a dazzling light.

"It went so smoothly!" Zhang Meng looked at the slates that lit up one after another and couldn't help but sigh, "Finally, I don't have to solve those headache-inducing codes this time!"

Ye Li smiled and said, "You really helped a lot this time."

"Of course, who am I!" Zhang Meng patted his chest proudly.

However, at the moment when the last stone slab was activated, the entire space suddenly vibrated violently, and the energy ball on the altar made a shrill buzzing sound, followed by a huge energy wave that spread in all directions.

"What's going on?" Ye Li screamed.

Qin Feng's eyes narrowed, and he shouted nervously: "Not good! The energy ball seems to be out of control!"

Zhang Meng was shocked: "I messed up again?"

Qin Feng shook his head: "No, it's not your problem! This is the self-protection mechanism of the agency! Everyone, evacuate quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the energy ball suddenly burst out with a strong light, and the entire altar was instantly surrounded by a powerful energy. The vibration became more and more violent, as if it was going to tear the entire space apart.

"We are trapped here!" Chu Tian shouted anxiously, "Think of a solution quickly!"

Qin Feng quickly analyzed the situation and found that the center of the energy fluctuation seemed to be somehow connected to the suspended stone slabs. He looked at the symbols that were gradually dimming and suddenly realized something: "We must rearrange these symbols!"

"What?" Zhang Meng shouted, "The symbols are already lit up, do we need to rearrange them?"

"That's right!" Qin Feng explained hurriedly, "The previous order was the key to activating the mechanism, but now we need to change the order to balance the energy, otherwise the entire space will collapse!"

Zhang Meng was completely confused: "What should I do? I don't understand this!"

"Follow my command!" Qin Feng said decisively, "Chu Tian, ​​you and Zhang Meng will be responsible for turning the stone slab, Ye Li will be responsible for observing the changes in the symbols, and I will give the command!"

Everyone immediately took action and began to readjust the symbols on the stone tablet according to Qin Feng's instructions. As they operated, the energy fluctuations gradually weakened, and the vibrations in the space also began to ease.

"Hurry! The last one!" Qin Feng shouted nervously.
