Chapter 65: The Wonderful Adventure at the Mountain Top Castle
Liu Yu and the others screamed as they plummeted. Just as they were about to hit the ground, Bai Suzhen hurriedly cast a spell, and a soft light caught them and gently placed them on the ground.
Liu Yu patted his chest, still shaken, and said, "Oh my god, I almost fell to my death! This damn bird is so unreliable!"
Xiaoqing rolled her eyes at him: "If it weren't for my sister, we would all be doomed."
Xu Xian was also terrified and turned pale: "Let's hurry up and think of a way to get up the mountain."
They began to climb up the rugged mountain path. Liu Yu was panting heavily and kept complaining, "This mountain is so high! My legs are about to break."
As they were talking, Liu Yu slipped and tumbled down the slope.
"Brother-in-law!" Xiaoqing called out.
When Liu Yu stopped, he was covered in mud.
He looked up, his face contorted with misery, and said, "Why am I so unlucky?"
It took a lot of effort to pull him up so they could continue moving forward.
After finally climbing halfway up the mountain, they saw a fruit tree by the roadside, laden with bright red fruit.
Liu Yu's eyes lit up, and she ran over to pick some: "Oh dear, I'm starving, let me have some fruit to tide me over."
As soon as he reached out, a monkey slapped him.
The monkey squeaked, "These are my fruits, don't touch them!"
Liu Yu said angrily, "You monkey, you're too domineering."
The monkey jumped down and started fighting with Liu Yu for the fruit.
Xiaoqing laughed and said, "Brother-in-law, you can't even beat a monkey."
While struggling with the monkey, Liu Yu said, "Come and help!"
Finally, with everyone's help, they managed to snatch a few fruits from the monkey.
Liu Yu took a bite of the fruit, then spat it out with a "pui": "What kind of fruit is this? It's sour and astringent."
Everyone laughed.
As I continued climbing, I suddenly heard a melodious flute sound.
They looked in the direction of the sound and saw an oddly dressed old man sitting on a rock playing a flute.
Liu Yu walked over curiously: "Old man, what are you doing here?"
The old man glanced at him, said nothing, and continued playing his flute.
Xu Xian said, "Old man, we need to go to the castle on the mountaintop. Do you know how to get there?"
The old man still ignored them.
Xiaoqing grew impatient: "Why is this old man like this?"
Just as they were about to leave, the old man suddenly said, "If you want to know the way, dance with me first."
Liu Yu's eyes widened: "Dancing?"
The old man stood up, began to twist his body, and started dancing a strange dance.
With no other option, Liu Yu and the others had to jump along.
After the dance, the old man smiled and said, "Keep walking straight ahead, and you'll reach your destination when you see a waterfall."
They followed the old man's instructions and indeed saw a waterfall.
Liu Yu said excitedly, "We've finally arrived."
But there is no path behind the waterfall.
Xu Xian said, "What should we do?"
Bai Suzhen observed for a moment and said, "Perhaps there is a mystery behind the waterfall."
Xiaoqing volunteered and went over: "I'll go take a look."
She walked into the waterfall and discovered a cave behind it.
Everyone followed them into the cave, which was pitch black and had a foul smell.
Liu Yu accidentally stepped on something, picked it up and saw that it was a bone.
"Ah!" He was so frightened that he quickly threw it away.
At that moment, a deep roar came from inside the cave.
"Oh no, there's a monster!" Liu Yu shouted.
A gigantic monster emerged from the darkness, its gaping maw wide open.
Liu Yu and the others were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly.
Bai Suzhen said, "Don't be afraid, let's all attack together."
Liu Yu picked up a tree branch and shouted, "Charge!"
But as soon as he rushed over, he was knocked to the ground by the monster's claw.
"Ouch!" Liu Yu cried out in pain.
Xiaoqing brandished her sword and fought off the monster.
Xu Xian stood beside him with his eyes closed, muttering, "Amitabha, please bless us with peace."
Bai Suzhen cast a spell, and beams of light shot towards the monster.
Enraged by the beating, the monster became even more ferocious.
Just when everyone was about to give up, Liu Yu suddenly discovered a weak point on the monster's stomach.
He shouted, "Attack its belly!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoqing leaped forward and stabbed at the monster's belly.
The monster let out a miserable cry and collapsed to the ground.
"We finally defeated it!" Liu Yu jumped up with joy.
They emerged from the cave and finally arrived at the castle atop the mountain.
The castle gates were tightly shut. Liu Yu stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Is anyone home?"
After a while, the door opened and a little dwarf came out.
The dwarf glanced at them and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Liu Yu said, "We've come to find the magic key."
The dwarf said, "The magic key won't be easy to obtain; you'll have to pass three tests."
Liu Yu asked, "What kind of test?"
The dwarf said, "The first test is to retrieve a gem from a room full of traps."
Liu Yu and his group entered the room, which was filled with traps.
There are walls that shoot arrows, floors that breathe fire, and ceilings that collapse.
Liu Yu walked cautiously when suddenly an arrow shot towards him, which he quickly dodged.
Xu Xian accidentally stepped on a mechanism, and flames erupted from the floor.
"Ah!" Xu Xian jumped up in fright.
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing used their magic to protect everyone.
Liu Yu finally obtained the gem and passed the first test.
The dwarf said, "The second test is to answer three questions. If you answer them wrong, you will be locked in a cage."
Liu Yu said, "Come on."
The dwarf asked, "What has a face but no mouth, feet but no hands, and four legs but can't walk by itself?"
Liu Yu thought for a moment and said, "The table."
The dwarf asked again, "What can be eaten if it's broken?"
Liu Yu scratched his head: "Eggs."
The dwarf then asked, "What gets dirtier the more you wash it?"
Liu Yu couldn't think of a solution for a moment and was sweating profusely with anxiety.
Xu Xian whispered from the side, "Water."
Liu Yu quickly said, "Water."
The dwarf said, "You guessed right."
The final challenge is to find the exit from a maze.
Liu Yu and his group entered the maze, but after wandering around for a long time, they still couldn't find their way.
Liu Yu said, "This maze is too difficult."
Just when they were in despair, Xiaoqing discovered a mark on the wall.
“Maybe this is a clue,” Xiaoqing said.
Following the signs, they finally found the exit.
The dwarf said, "Congratulations on passing the test. Here is the magic key for you."
Liu Yu took the magic key and said happily, "Finally, I can go home!"
They opened the door back, a flash of light appeared, and they disappeared into the castle...
