Lin Mo and Su Yuqing were fully immersed in their research on the ancient tomb's artifacts. As their exploration deepened, they discovered that the mysterious symbols seemed closely related to the mechanisms within the tomb. To gather more clues, they decided to enter the enigmatic tomb once again.
Upon entering, they proceeded cautiously. The air in the passage was thick with a musty scent, and eerie shadows flickered along the walls. Lin Mo remained vigilant, his forehead's Striation occasionally emitting a faint glow, as if sensing something.
"Be careful; there must be hidden traps here," Su Yuqing whispered, her gaze scanning the walls and floor of the passage intently.
At that moment, Lin Mo suddenly felt a surge of danger. Instinctively, he grabbed Su Yuqing and stepped back. Almost simultaneously, the ground ahead collapsed, revealing a bottomless pit filled with sharp bamboo stakes.
"That was close!" Lin Mo said, still shaken.
They maneuvered around the pit and continued forward. Before long, they arrived at a spacious burial chamber. In the center stood a massive stone sarcophagus covered in intricate symbols.
"These symbols look even more complex than the ones we saw before; they might hide important information," Su Yuqing exclaimed excitedly as she eagerly approached the sarcophagus to study the symbols closely.
However, just as she neared it, the sarcophagus suddenly shook violently. In an instant, a group of ancient armored Puppet Soldiers surged forth from around it. These Puppet Soldiers moved stiffly but advanced in unison toward Lin Mo and Su Yuqing.
"What is happening?" Lin Mo's eyes widened in disbelief at this unexpected attack.
"These puppets must be controlled by mechanisms; we need to be careful!" Su Yuqing shouted, her fear evident but her composure intact.
Lin Mo focused his mind, attempting to harness his time-traveling abilities to combat the Puppet Soldiers. He noticed that whenever his Striation glowed, the movements of the Puppet Soldiers would momentarily slow down. Taking advantage of this, he dodged their attacks while searching for weaknesses.
During the fierce battle, Lin Mo discovered that the joints of these Puppet Soldiers appeared particularly vulnerable. Seizing an opportunity, he charged at one of them and delivered a powerful punch to its joint. Sure enough, its arm fell off instantly, rendering it unable to attack.
"Su Yuqing, target their joints!" Lin Mo shouted.
Responding to his command, Su Yuqing began striking at the joints of the Puppet Soldiers as well. With their combined efforts, one by one, they took down the Puppet Soldiers.
Just when they thought the crisis had passed, flickering lights suddenly appeared on the walls of the chamber. In an instant, countless Sharp Arrows shot out from the walls at high speed and in overwhelming numbers.
Lin Mo and Su Yuqing quickly scrambled for cover, but several Sharp Arrows grazed their bodies, leaving painful wounds.
"We can't keep this up; we need a plan!" Lin Mo said urgently.
He scanned the room and spotted a massive shield in one corner. An idea struck him as he rushed toward it and lifted it high.
"Get behind the shield!" Lin Mo shouted.
Su Yuqing quickly ran behind the shield as Sharp Arrows continued to rain down upon it with a clattering sound.
"We can't stay here forever; we need to find a way to disable the mechanism," Su Yuqing said.
While holding up the shield, Lin Mo observed their surroundings. He realized that the Sharp Arrows were controlled by a large Gear Mechanism on the wall; if they could destroy this device, they could stop the arrows' assault.
"I'll go destroy that Gear Mechanism; you wait here for me," Lin Mo declared.
"No, it's too dangerous!" Su Yuqing firmly opposed.
"We don't have time. If we keep this up, we'll all die here. Don't worry, I'll be careful," Lin Mo said, rushing towards the Gear Mechanism without waiting for Su Yuqing's response.
As he dodged the Sharp Arrows, Lin Mo narrowly avoided being hit several times. With his tenacious will and agile movements, he finally reached the Gear Mechanism. He noticed a large switch on the device; if he could just flip it, the attack of the Sharp Arrows would stop.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Mo exerted all his strength to pull the switch. The moment he did so, the Sharp Arrows ceased their assault, and the tomb fell into a temporary calm.
"Lin Mo, are you okay?" Su Yuqing hurried over, her face filled with concern.
"I'm fine," Lin Mo replied, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
They continued to explore the tomb and eventually discovered a hidden compartment at the bottom of a stone coffin. Inside lay an ancient book covered in mysterious symbols.
"This ancient text might be the key to unraveling the mystery," Su Yuqing exclaimed excitedly.
However, just as they picked up the book, the tomb suddenly shook violently, and stones began to fall from above.
"This is bad! We've triggered a more dangerous mechanism; the tomb is going to collapse!" Lin Mo shouted.
They hurried towards the exit of the tomb, but by then, debris had blocked their path, leaving them in a dire situation.
"What do we do? We can't get out!" Su Yuqing's voice was tinged with despair.
Looking at the ancient book in his hands, Lin Mo suddenly had an idea. He concentrated and tried to resonate with the symbols on the book through the Striation on his forehead, hoping to harness the power of time travel to escape.
As Lin Mo focused his energy, the Striation on his forehead glowed brighter, and the symbols on the book began to flicker. The surrounding space seemed to warp as a powerful force enveloped Lin Mo and Su Yuqing.
When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves back at the Archaeological Research Institute.
"Finally back!" Su Yuqing sighed in relief.
Lin Mo looked at the ancient book in his hands, filled with hope. He believed that this book would help them uncover the secrets of the curse and time travel.
Once back at the Archaeological Research Institute, Lin Mo and Su Yuqing eagerly began studying the ancient text they had retrieved from the tomb. However, the symbols were incredibly complex; despite their day-and-night efforts, progress remained slow.
Meanwhile, Lin Mo noticed that as he used his time-traveling ability more frequently, his body began to show signs of strain. Not only did the Striation on his forehead spread more rapidly, but he also experienced increasingly severe headaches and often felt weak as if an invisible force was gradually eroding him. Su Yuqing watched helplessly as her concern grew; all she could do was encourage Lin Mo to persevere.
