Chapter 171 Abandoned Secret Realm
After breakfast, Feng Ye took Bai Qi to a pit.
"This is the area I am responsible for. Although it has not been opened yet, I am confident that the area behind it will definitely lead to the core area of the First Emperor's Secret Realm."
Feng Ye pointed at the bronze gate in front of him, his face full of confidence, but Bai Qi felt a little guilty for no reason.
What a non-chief believes in always seems to develop in the opposite direction.
"Here is the rune information we translated earlier. Take a look at it first. It will be helpful for your subsequent deciphering."
Feng Ye handed a stack of manuscripts to Bai Qi, and then began to study them on his own.
Yesterday he had heard about Luo Xiang helping Bureau 13 to open up the way to the next level area, and Uncle Chun had also sent people over to explore together, but their work could not stop.
After all, the scale of the First Emperor's Secret Realm is unprecedentedly large, and no one knows whether there will be a door leading directly to the core area.
Both sides say they are cooperating in exploration, but the party that discovers first will always gain some advantage.
Bai Qi took Feng Ye's manuscript and glanced through it briefly.
The manuscript was recorded in great detail. In addition to explaining individual runes, it also translated the possible meanings of some combinations. It could be seen that Feng Ye's attainments in runes were definitely not weak, at least higher than most people in the training camp.
The most important thing is that most of these runes are ancient runes, and ordinary rune knowledge is basically useless.
"Feng Ye, you are also a member of the Beast Tamer Association, right? Why didn't you participate in the special training?"
Although Feng Ye lost to him yesterday, Feng Ye is definitely among the top in the training team, so he should not have failed to participate.
Feng Ye said: "Training? You'd better let me go. I like to dig secret places everywhere. Training is too tiring and not suitable for me."
Bai Qi was stunned when he heard this, then he reacted.
Feng Ye and his team's living habits may not be able to adapt to the training life. After all, discipline is still quite important during the training period.
"Most of us don't like staying at the headquarters. We follow Boss Chun to explore secret realms all year round. Now that we have discovered the First Emperor Secret Realm, who would want to attend this training camp?"
Hearing Feng Ye's words, Bai Qi nodded in appreciation.
Indeed, compared to the training camp that will continue, the rare and hard-to-come-by Secret Realm of the First Emperor is much more attractive.
Thinking of this, Bai Qi put down the manuscript in his hand and began to study the door in front of him.
Feng Ye's annotations were very detailed, and he soon found similar runes on the gate. Just as he was about to move forward to study them carefully, the runes on the bronze gate suddenly glowed and then opened with a bang.
Feng Ye, who was trying to figure out the password, was stunned when he saw the door suddenly open. Then he looked at the "culprit" Bai Qi and asked, "What did you do just now? Why did it suddenly open?"
Bai Qi shrugged innocently and said, " Nothing , just a touch."
Feng Ye was silent for a long time before he spoke: "This is the sky-breaking talent, isn't it too BUG ?"
Bai Qi scratched his head awkwardly. This was the third time. It seemed that every time he encountered the gate to a secret realm, the gate would open directly. But he really didn't have any talent for breaking through the air.
Is it because he is too handsome?
Bai Qi glanced at the evolution egg in the beast-controlling space, which was motionless, and became more and more certain of his guess.
Well, that's for sure.
"Hey, Xiaoye, you finally opened the door. Let me see where you are going?"
The noise of the gate opening attracted many people to come and check out, but when they saw the gray space vortex on the gate, they suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, you actually encountered a scrapped secret realm. Xiaoye, you are really lucky, hahaha..."
"Scrap the secret realm?"
Bai Qi looked at Feng Ye with some curiosity. Although Feng Ye looked a little unhappy, he still explained: "Although the secret realm tower is built based on the beastmaster's beast control space, it is still an independent space after all. If the external tower structure is not stable enough, after the beastmaster dies, the connected secret realm will easily be washed into the space turbulence, which is the so-called scrapped secret realm."
There is also this saying: if you rush in without knowing the situation, won’t you be dead?
Thinking about how he had previously run directly into the secret realm, Bai Qi suddenly felt a little scared.
I must learn some knowledge related to the secret realm.
No, I'd better call the Husky out. With this guy around, he should be able to detect some clues.
"It's all been a waste these past few days. Let's go find another one."
Feng Ye simply packed up his things, and immediately a special beastmaster came to close the door.
Although it is an abandoned secret realm and not worth exploring, it would be too dangerous to just leave it like this, so some necessary sealing measures are still needed.
"By the way, Bai Qi, are you going to come with me, or find a door by yourself? Anyway, you can go as long as no one is there."
Bai Qi smiled awkwardly and said, "I think I should go back and learn some ancient runes first."
There are so many gates here, who knows which gate will hide the abandoned secret realm. As for following Feng Ye...
I heard that non-Africans are contagious, so you'd better be careful.
To be on the safe side, he decided to study the rubbings given by Luo Xiang before considering other things.
After hearing Bai Qi's words, Feng Ye did not comment, but did not force it.
Indeed, for someone like Bai Qi, who has the talent of breaking through the air but does not have comprehensive knowledge of runes, it is indeed a bit difficult to forcibly break into a secret realm, especially the First Emperor Secret Realm, which is the oldest secret tower in human history.
After Bai Qi returned to his room, he immediately entered the secret realm.
"Shuke, have you processed all those rubbings?"
Shuke, who was fiddling with something, nodded immediately upon hearing this and said, "I have stored all the ancient runes I collected before in the computer in the laboratory, and the comparison results with modern runes are also the same."
Bai Qi nodded and wanted to say something else, but when he saw how hard Shuke and Beta were trying, he took it back.
As expected, I was hit hard by Alpha yesterday. Let’s wait until it’s done with its work.
Bai Qi came to the laboratory, turned on the computer and operated it for a while. An enlarged version of the ancient runes immediately appeared on the huge screen next to him.
One of the reasons why runes are difficult to popularize is because of how similar they are to each other.
Maybe if a certain place is slightly bolded or floated up and down, the meaning of the entire rune will change completely, so Bai Qi basically chooses to enlarge it before continuing to study.
Because Shuke had sorted them out in advance, Bai Qi learned very quickly. After about an hour, he had roughly memorized all the rubbings.
However, if you want to apply it in practice, you need to practice it slowly and steadily.
"Let's compare it with the general figurines first."
Bai Qi stretched and contacted Alpha through the contract. Soon, Alpha came in dragging the general figurine.
Looking at the general figurine whose head was still in the shape of a patch, Bai Qi couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
From a certain perspective, this terracotta general may be the earliest mechanical creation in human history, but it was smashed to pieces by Li Xusheng with a hammer.
And why did he hit the head so carefully? Doesn’t this guy know that the secrets hidden in the head are usually the most crucial?
"Alpha, see if you can restore this guy from the inside."
Crunch.
(I'll give it a try.)
Alpha nodded and put his hand on the general's head, and the general's originally flat head slowly swelled up.
After evolving again, Alpha's gravity control ability has been improved, and he also has some control over metal, so he can still barely restore the general figurine.
However, after Alpha changed the general's head back to its original shape, Bai Qi immediately discovered that the rune lines on it had been damaged.
Crunch.
(Boss, did I screw up?)
Upon seeing this, Alpha immediately expressed a sense of self-blame, like a child who had done something wrong, and there was no trace of his bravery in the battle.
"It's okay, it's expected."
Bai Qi patted Alpha on the shoulder, signaling him to rest assured.
Although the rune system looks primitive, it is actually very sophisticated. The general figurine was smashed into pieces by Li Xusheng, it would be incredible if it could be completely restored.
His original intention was just to use the general figurine to verify the ancient runes he had just learned, so as long as he had a rough outline, it would be fine.
"Hmm? This rune seems familiar."
Bai Qi walked around the general's head and looked at it for a while. Suddenly, he found that the rune on its forehead was familiar. After a little thought, he ran back to the computer and operated it. A similar but obviously more complex rune appeared on the screen.
Bai Qi carefully compared the two runes and finally confirmed his guess.
"The runes on the terracotta warriors actually evolved from the slave contracts of the ferocious beasts. Should I say that it was actually the ferocious beasts that created the beastmasters?"
Thinking of his discovery, Bai Qi suddenly became very interested in the history of ferocious beasts, but he quickly suppressed his interest.
He is just a small third-rank beastmaster now, and it is still too early for him to explore the history of ferocious beasts.
"However, with a reference object, it seems that the general terracotta warriors can be restored."
Looking at the intermittent runes on the general figurine, a hint of fanaticism appeared on Bai Qi's face.
Ever since Husky awakened Shuke's consciousness, he hasn't tinkered with anything by hand for a long time.
"Alpha, help me out here. If this thing makes any unusual movements, suppress it immediately."
Crunch!
(Got it, boss!)
Alpha nodded, and then skillfully condensed countless blades to guard Bai Qi.
"Actually, there's no need to be so careful."
Looking at Alpha who was obviously overreacting, Bai Qi couldn't help but laugh, but after seeing Alpha's persistence, he didn't say anything more.
The higher the level of other people's pets, the more mature their minds are, but why is it that his pets are becoming more and more like children?
Well, I have to provide psychological counseling to a few pets someday.
