Room

What do these three doors represent?

Xiao Fan frowned. There were three different doors in front of him, and without any explanation, he had no idea what each door represented.

But it's clear he can only choose one.

Which one should we choose?

Xiao Fan took a few steps forward, and just then, a system notification suddenly appeared in front of him.

"There are three gates, but you can only choose one to enter. Once you step inside, the other two stone gates will be permanently closed, and there will be no chance to go back and choose again."

"Therefore, I only have one chance to choose, and once I've made my choice, there's no going back."

Xiao Fan's gaze wandered back and forth, examining each of the three stone doors.

The left side is bathed in emerald light and teeming with life, but the more peaceful it appears, the more likely it is to conceal a deadly trap.

The dark gold stone gate in the middle exudes overwhelming power and offers abundant opportunities, but the dangers will inevitably increase exponentially.

The pitch-black gate on the right was chillingly imposing, yet it subtly pointed towards the depths of darkness.

Each door has its own unique features.

"Completely clueless."

Xiao Fan gritted his teeth. There were only five hours left in the secret realm, leaving him no time to weigh his options.

Just then, Xiao Fan suddenly thought of something and closed his eyes.

A moment later, he opened his eyes and looked at the pitch-black door on his right.

"You're the one."

With a stomp of his foot, Xiao Fan shattered the pebbles beneath his feet and strode toward the dark stone door on the far right.

The closer you get, the stronger the biting cold becomes. The black mist coils Entangle you like a living thing, pricking your skin with needles.

The ancient runes on the door flickered on and off, and faint whispers drifted out from the cracks, bewitching and seductive.

Xiao Fan steadied himself and shut out the disturbing whispers.

He raised his hand and pressed his palm heavily onto the cold stone door surface.

Boom!

A dull, deafening roar erupted, and the jet-black stone door slowly opened to both sides, unleashing a torrent of boundless darkness.

Xiao Fan's expression was grave, but he finally lifted his leg and stepped into the doorway.

The next second, the scene before my eyes suddenly changed.

It wasn't the endless abyss I'd imagined; instead, there was a long, Zong Heng corridor before me.

The long corridor extends endlessly in all directions, with countless identical stone chamber doors on both sides, densely packed and stretching as far as the eye can see.

"Why are there so many rooms?"

Xiao Fan frowned.

I looked around, and apart from the rooms on either side, there was nothing else.

"No Secret Realm Rules?"

Xiao Fan's expression was grave.

The latter half of the secret realm in "The Treasure Map" is somewhat mysterious.

The scene changed abruptly, and there were no Secret Realm Rules.

"It seems I'll have to figure it out myself."

Xiao Fan approached the stone door on one side and carefully knocked, but there was no response.

The entire corridor was deathly silent.

"The rules might be right behind these rooms."

Xiao Fan guessed.

With that thought in mind, Xiao Fan gently pushed open the stone door in front of him.

Creak--

Without any resistance, the door opened directly inwards.

The next second, a putrid and chilling aura swept over us.

Xiao Fan's expression immediately tensed, and he scanned the room in front of him.

The room's floor was covered with mottled, blackened ancient tiles, and the walls were painted with twisted, Entangle, blood-red patterns. There were no strange beasts, only wisps of pale red smoke floating in the air.

"This room doesn't feel very good."

Xiao Fan had a bad feeling. Just as he was about to leave, a system notification appeared in front of him.
