Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

"Wow, this is something I've never seen before." Zhang Meng looked up at the sky and muttered, "Two suns? How do you predict the weather here?"

"Maybe there is no weather forecast at all," Qin Feng looked around thoughtfully, "Everything here is too unreasonable, even the plants are emitting some strange smell."

"Stop analyzing so darkly." Ye Li interrupted, "We've been walking for so long, when will we find the exit?"

"Maybe the exit is one of the suns." Zhang Meng joked, "We can find out if we fly up and take a look."

"If you can do it, go ahead!" Chu Tian was speechless, "Don't say irrelevant things every time. It's better to observe the environment first."

Zhang Meng curled his lips and patted his chest, "I'm just trying to persuade everyone to relax! Isn't adventure about having a sense of humor?"

"We really need to stay calm now." Qin Feng nodded. "However, Zhang Meng, your imagination is too wild. The sun is the exit? How do you plan to fly up there? Do you plan to jump a few times?"

"Hey, maybe I can really jump up!" Zhang Meng responded unwillingly and pretended to jump up.

"You'd better save your energy," Ye Li said with a smile, "If you fall into some mysterious cave again, no one will help you get it back."

The group continued to move forward. Suddenly, Zhang Meng pointed at a tall building not far away and shouted, "Look, what is that? A... a castle?"

"Well, it seems we have found some clues." Qin Feng fixed his eyes on the building in the distance. "This plain is too empty, but this castle is obviously not formed naturally."

"I have a bad feeling." Chu Tian frowned, "This place doesn't give me the feeling that we are welcome to come in."

"You are always so suspicious!" Zhang Meng waved his hand, "Isn't it just a castle? Explorers should be brave! Besides, with a super explorer like me here, what are you afraid of?"

"Okay, okay, explorer." Ye Li nodded with a smile, "Then you go in first, and we will support you."

Zhang Meng immediately straightened his back and walked ahead confidently, "Just wait and see what treasure I will find!"

As they approached the castle, they felt a strange energy wave flowing in the air. The castle gate was closed, but the decoration on the door was very exquisite, like some kind of ancient rune.

"These symbols look very complicated." Qin Feng looked closer, "They may be some kind of magic circle, specially designed to protect this castle."

"Oh, I see. This is my next test!" Zhang Meng raised his hand and knocked on the door without hesitation. "Hello, is anyone home? I'm here to challenge you!"

"Can you please not be so reckless?" Ye Li said helplessly, "What if there is some terrible mechanism in this door?"

"Don't worry, I already have a talisman!" Zhang Meng patted the crystal talisman on his body, "It will protect me!"

"Hmph, don't blame the amulet for not working later." Chu Tian couldn't help but teased.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing." Qin Feng interrupted them, "We don't have any other choice now. The castle seems to be the only clue. We must go in."

Just as they were about to continue exploring, the door suddenly "clicked" and opened automatically!

Zhang Meng's eyes widened with excitement, "Wow! This is really an explorer's lucky moment! The door opened automatically for me!"

"It may also be that you knocked too hard and activated the mechanism." Ye Li teased.

"Okay, the result is the same anyway." Zhang Meng stepped into the castle carelessly.

After entering the castle, they found that the hall was spacious and bright, the ceiling was soaring into the sky, and the walls were covered with mysterious paintings that seemed to tell some ancient legend.

"What do these paintings tell us?" Ye Li looked up at the paintings.

"It looks like some kind of historical event." Qin Feng approached a painting, "The person in this painting is fighting a giant dragon."

"And this one, it looks like a group of people are building this castle." Chu Tian pointed to another one, "Could this castle have a glorious history?"

"No matter what its history is, the key is how we can find a way out now." Ye Li reminded.

"Hey, everyone come and see this!" Zhang Meng suddenly called out loudly. He was standing in the middle of the hall, holding a huge key in his hand.

"This thing looks very important." Qin Feng walked over and observed the key. "Maybe it can open a hidden door?"

"Should we give it a try?" Zhang Meng waved the key excitedly, "I think I'm about to uncover some big secret!"

"Wait!" Chu Tian looked around vigilantly, "The key should correspond to a special place. We can't move it casually."

"You are too nervous!" Zhang Meng disagreed, "I found it by instinct, it must be useful!"

Just as they were discussing how to use the key, the floor of the hall suddenly began to vibrate, and a secret passage rose from the ground, with a low mechanical sound coming from inside.

"Wow, is this the function of the key?" Zhang Meng was stunned.

"It seems we have found the right direction." Qin Feng nodded and signaled everyone to walk towards the passage together.

Once inside, they found themselves in a long corridor with glowing gems lining the walls on both sides, lighting up the entire corridor.

"These gems are so beautiful." Ye Li couldn't help but reach out and touch them. "They feel full of magic."

"It's best not to touch them." Qin Feng reminded, "These things may have traps."

"I'm not afraid of these little gadgets!" Zhang Meng walked in front proudly, "The mission of an explorer is to solve all mysteries!"

At the end of the corridor, a huge door stood in front of them. Intricate patterns were carved on the door, and vaguely one could see the image of a giant dragon and a warrior.

"I think we are getting close to the core of this place." Qin Feng said in a low voice.

"What are you waiting for?" Zhang Meng waved the key excitedly, "Get ready to open the door!"

He inserted the key into the keyhole and turned it gently. The huge door slowly opened. Behind the door was a spacious room. In the center of the room stood a huge stone statue holding a glowing sword in its hand.

"This must be some kind of treasure!" Zhang Meng's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to go forward.

"Wait!" Qin Feng hurriedly pulled him back, "This stone statue and sword may not be as simple as you think."

"Yes, I have a bad feeling too." Ye Li stared at the sword, "The atmosphere here is too weird."

"Don't be so pessimistic." Zhang Meng patted his chest, "I think this is a test of our courage! I'll try it first."

He walked towards the statue carefully and slowly reached out to touch the sword. Just as his fingers were about to touch the hilt, the whole room suddenly began to shake, and the statue's eyes flashed red!

"Oh, I seem to have activated something again..." Zhang Meng said nervously.

Before he finished his words, the stone statue moved, waving its huge stone sword and making a deafening roar.

"Run!" Qin Feng shouted.

Several people immediately retreated, but the stone statue kept chasing them. The ground in the room began to crack and rubble fell.

"We are really in big trouble now!" Ye Li complained as she ran.

"Don't worry, I have a talisman!" Zhang Meng raised the crystal talisman in his hand and shouted, "I will make it stop!"

However, the statue remained unmoved and continued to approach them angrily.

"Your amulet seems to be useless!" Chu Tian complained while running.

"Maybe... it's the wrong timing?" Zhang Meng smiled awkwardly and quickened his pace.

As the stone statue gets closer and closer, the group must find a way to escape from the predicament - however, they don't know that the test has just begun.
