Unfortunately, the local mechanism worked extremely slowly, so the group had to endure until it extended the transparent blue platform forward again.
When the new section of the platform appeared, where everyone could stand calmly, the group began to wait for a new riddle from the mechanism, while observing the spiked wall, which was moving toward them at an ordinary human pace!
"We've got about five minutes before that spiked wall reaches us and pushes us straight down..." Egro warned slowly, watching the approaching wall with some concern.
Royal looked at the other end of the corridor and realized it wasn't that far away. And if necessary, he could jump to it using his skill.
But that was his last resort.
"For now, we wait for the fifth riddle. The previous four, although with some mistakes, we still managed to solve. It's quite possible we'll solve the fifth one too," he told everyone, patiently waiting for the rough mechanical voice.
