Chapter 51 - Chapter 51: Mysteries of the Temple

With a mixture of nervousness and anticipation, the team members stepped into the temple. The interior of the temple was filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere. The walls were flickering with a faint blue light, as if telling the stories of the past.

 

"Everyone, be careful. There may be other dangers here," Lynn warned warily.

 

In the hall of the temple, they found a huge statue. The statue depicted a person in a long robe, holding a shining sword in his hand. There were some ancient books and scrolls placed around the statue.

 

"These books and scrolls may contain information related to the second attribute of the artifacts," a team member said.

 

Everyone gathered around and began to flip through these books and scrolls. However, the words on these books and scrolls were in an ancient language they had never seen before, and they simply couldn't understand them.

 

"Seems like we've run into another problem. How can we decipher these words?" a team member said, frowning.

 

Just when everyone was worried, a melodious piece of music suddenly came from the depths of the temple. This music seemed to have a kind of magic that made people feel calm when they heard it.

 

"Where is this music coming from? Let's go and have a look," Lynn said.

 

The team members followed the direction of the music and came to a room. There was a huge crystal piano in the room, and the body of the piano was emitting a soft light. A woman in a white robe was sitting in front of the piano, playing it.

 

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Lynn asked.

 

The woman stopped playing, looked up, and said with a smile, "I'm the guardian of this temple. You've come here to find the power of the second attribute of the artifacts, right?"

 

The team members nodded. The woman then said, "I can help you decipher those ancient words, but you must first pass a test."

 

"What test? Tell us quickly," I asked anxiously through the communicator.

 

The woman stood up and walked to the center of the room. With a wave of her sleeve, a huge chessboard appeared in the room. The chess pieces on the board were all made of crystal, shining with a strange light.

 

"This test is to play a game of chess with me. If you can beat me, I'll help you decipher those words," the woman said.

 

The team members looked at each other. None of them was good at playing chess. "We're not good at chess. What should we do?" a team member said anxiously.

 

At this time, a strategist stepped forward. "Although I'm not a professional chess player, I have some knowledge of strategies and layouts. Let me give it a try."

 

The strategist walked to the chessboard and started playing chess with the woman. At first, the strategist seemed a bit nervous, but as the game progressed, he gradually got the hang of it. He skillfully used strategies to try to disrupt the woman's layout.

 

The woman was very good at chess. She thought carefully about every move, making it difficult for the strategist to find any flaws. But the strategist was not to be outdone. He kept thinking and adjusting his strategies.

 

The game reached a climax, and both sides were deep in thought. Suddenly, the strategist found an opportunity and made a move decisively. This move made the woman's face change slightly.

 

"Good move! I didn't expect you to have such insight in the game," the woman said.

 

After a fierce battle, the strategist finally won the game. The woman showed an approving smile. "You're very good. I'll keep my promise and help you decipher those ancient words."

 

The woman led the team members back to the hall and started deciphering the words on the books and scrolls. After her deciphering, the team members learned that to obtain the power of the second attribute of the artifacts, they needed to find three keys. These three keys were hidden in three different places in the temple.

 

"What do these three keys look like? Is there any clue to find them?" a team member asked.

 

The woman took out an ancient map. "This map marks the approximate locations of the three keys. But it won't be easy to find them. Each place has a corresponding guarding mechanism."

 

The team members studied the map carefully and decided to divide into three groups to look for the three keys respectively. Lynn led one group, the strategist led another group, and an ability - user led the third group.

 

Lynn's group came to the first place marked on the map. It was a passage full of traps. The passage was filled with spikes, traps, and devices that could shoot hidden weapons.

 

"Everyone, be careful and watch out for these traps," Lynn reminded.

 

The team members moved forward carefully. With their agile movements and cautious attitudes, they successfully avoided one trap after another. Finally, at the end of the passage, they found the first key. This key was made of pure gold and was engraved with beautiful patterns.

 

The strategist's group came to the second place, which was a dark cave. There was a pungent smell in the cave, and strange creatures would appear from time to time. The strategist and the team members used their wisdom and weapons to fight off those strange creatures. In the depths of the cave, they found the second key. This key was made of crystal and emitted a soft light.

 

The ability - user's group came to the third place, which was a platform floating in the air. There were strong air currents around the platform, making it difficult to stand still. The ability - user used his ability to control the air currents, allowing the team members to walk safely on the platform. In the center of the platform, they found the third key. This key was made of bronze and was engraved with some mysterious runes.

 

All three groups successfully found the keys and returned to the temple hall to meet up. The woman looked at the three keys and nodded in satisfaction. "You're very good. You've already found the three keys. Now, I can help you activate the power of the second attribute of the artifacts."

 

The woman took the three keys and walked to a specific position in the temple. She inserted the three keys into the corresponding slots, and a dazzling light shot out from the slots. The power of the second attribute of the artifacts was successfully awakened.

 

The team members felt a powerful force pouring into their bodies, and their strength was further improved. "Great! We've finally obtained the power of the second attribute of the artifacts," a team member said excitedly.

 

Lynn looked at everyone. "Now that we have the power of two attributes, next we're going to the far north of the wasteland world to find the power related to the third attribute of the artifacts. Everyone, get ready."

 

The team members nodded one after another. They knew that the subsequent adventures would be even more difficult, but for the sake of saving the wasteland world, they were willing to move forward bravely.
