"Ugh..."
My eyelids felt heavy, and my body was weighed down, making it hard to breathe. A foul stench filled the air, causing a wave of nausea.
Pain echoed throughout my body. It felt as if countless hands were pulling at me. Confused, I opened my eyes, and the scene before me became clear. I struggled to grab my backpack and started swinging it around while shouting, "Get away! Get away!"
To my surprise, those Zongzi had gathered around me while I was unconscious. If I had woken up even a moment later, I would have surely been "overwhelmed."
After a chaotic dance, the Zongzi slowly retreated to the side. However, those eyes glowing with green light never left me; they even backed away in reverse. Although it was very strange, I didn't have time to ponder why it was so bizarre.
Feeling somewhat exhausted, I sat on a branch. Lime and Xianxian were nowhere to be found.
I let out a deep breath. That idiot Xianxian, what was she thinking in that situation? Thankfully, the tree was dense enough; otherwise, who knows what could have happened? I could have fallen to my death.
"Jiang Feng, thank you for your help." After taking a sip of water and finding a spot to relieve myself, I disposed of the waste in The Dead before continuing to climb down.
Jiang Feng and the others said, "Leave it to us," and then a large group dispersed quickly. With their search efforts, I believed our reunion time would be greatly shortened.
"Feng Xiao Ge, we found them." Before long, He Cheng quietly approached me and said.
"So soon?" I looked at him in surprise; it seemed like no more than three minutes had passed. This speed—damn it—was simply incredible!
"Hehe." He Cheng chuckled and said, "They're not far below us, and..." His expression grew serious.
Seeing his demeanor, he must have discovered something significant. I quickly asked, "And what happened?"
"There's a very strange door; you'll know when you see it." He Cheng said earnestly, his eyes filled with curiosity.
Upon hearing this, I didn't linger any longer and immediately followed He Cheng to the place he mentioned. A few minutes later, I saw Xianxian's flamboyant smile as she waved at me while shouting loudly, "You’re so slow! This Lord has been waiting so long that the flowers are wilting!"
"Is this all my fault?" I couldn't help but twitch the corner of my mouth. I've been waiting so long that the flowers have wilted, and he still has the nerve to say that. He doesn't even think about who caused this trouble.
Xianxian showed no signs of guilt or embarrassment and kept urging, "Come on, hurry up! I'm starving!"
So I’m just a convenience store, huh? I rolled my eyes dramatically and replied, "What's the rush? You won't die from being hungry for a bit!"
"You heartless guy!"
Ignoring Xianxian's muttering, I jumped down in a few quick moves. From what I could see, Lime and Xianxian were unharmed. On the way here, He Cheng told me that Lime had originally come to find me, but since they were here, he sent him back.
Taking out food and water, the three of us ate while looking at the "strange door" that He Cheng mentioned earlier. It was indeed very strange; usually, doors are rectangular with four corners, but this one was a distorted hexagon.
The top and bottom both had one vertex, with two rows in the middle, each having two vertices. This shape felt very familiar to me.
"Have you noticed that if you connect these two vertices with the vertex at the bottom, it forms an equilateral triangle?" Xianxian pointed at the two vertices in the second row and one vertex at the bottom, gesturing to connect them.
"It can't be wrong; this is Sacred Geometry," Lime said confidently.
Sacred Geometry?
"Isn't it similar to the Flower of Life and Tree of Life?" I suddenly realized why this pattern looked so familiar. Xiao Zian had explained several disappearing lessons to us! At that time, he had drawn a similar image. Now that I think about it, all directions are not individual entities; all clues have a common source.
"Sacred Geometry Gate!" Xianxian's eyes lit up. "So we found the right place?"
"Jiang Feng?" I didn't answer but looked towards Jiang Feng and his group walking over.
Jiang Feng nodded at us and said, "We checked downstairs; there are no suspicious entrances. Further down is just water."
Hearing this, we exchanged glances. So everything might be behind this door? What we need to do now is find a way to open it?
"By the way, how do we actually open this door?" I glanced at it and thought about how many strange doors I've encountered that didn't require keys to open. Although I understand some formations, they don't relate to doors—this is tricky!
"Hey, there's a keyhole here! Fengfeng, hurry up and get the keys!" Xianxian said, already excitedly walking towards me.
I was momentarily taken aback and blinked, asking, "What keys?"
"Come on, stop pretending! The Black Keys we've been looking for are all with you, right?" As she spoke, Xianxian floated with excitement. "This Lord was just wondering what those Black Keys are for, so mysterious. Now it seems this might be the key? Stop daydreaming and hurry up and try them out!"
Under Xianxian's urging, I took out all the Black Keys I had found during this time. There were more than fifty of them, collected by all members of our Ghost Alliance together. They were all with me, although I had no idea which ones were real and which were fake.
"Wow, I didn't realize we had gathered so many!" Xianxian exclaimed as she grabbed a handful and hummed a little tune while walking toward the door. Lime and I silently followed her as we watched Xianxian nervously take out one key and insert it into the inconspicuous keyhole.
Just like that, the first key slid in smoothly, and we all felt a surge of joy; Xianxian's hand trembled slightly from excitement!
"Hurry, let's see if it opens!" Seeing that Xianxian had stopped moving after inserting the key, I urged her anxiously.
"Okay, I'm just too excited!" With that, Xianxian turned the key...
She turned it left, then right, but the keyhole remained unchanged.
Seeing that the first one didn't work, I felt a moment of disappointment but quickly shifted my gaze to the other keys and said, "Try another one!"
"OK!" With that, Xianxian ruthlessly tossed aside the useless key...
