Chapter 52 Rubik's Cube(1/3)
Three days later.
In the dark underground palace, a green lamp illuminated a corner.
Ji Xun was still immersed in sorting out the information in his hands, mumbling something from time to time: "'?' in Talung ancient language represents space, '?' represents agency, '?' represents secret passage, and '?' represents curse seal. ,'?' is a corridor or a confusing passage... This '?' seems to point to some kind of noble and supreme existence?"
Not only did he read the information, he also took detailed notes.
In the past two days, he has firmly memorized the hundreds of thousands of characters in this stack of information in his mind.
But in fact, excluding repeated characters, there are less than a thousand characters, and only a few hundred are commonly used.
Whether it is hieroglyphics or alphabetic scripts, a single symbol refers to a certain semantic meaning. As long as the symbol appears multiple times, the general meaning can be slowly decoded by analyzing it in the context.
The frequency of occurrence is high enough, the greater the probability of deciphering.
This is true for any writing system.
The contents that Ji Xun had previously memorized in the 407 space gave him the most direct help.
Asked again about the ninth day of the lunar month, she still remembered some of it.
The two complement each other, and many sentences can be translated directly.
For three whole days, except for meditating and resting, Ji Xun had been translating the ancient Talung language in the literature.
It has to be said that his super high comprehension and photographic memory are really an excellent combination for learning a language. Coupled with his focused nature, he also makes the translation of ancient Chinese a hundred times more efficient than others.
Although not much has been deciphered, and it may not be completely accurate, the general meaning of hundreds of ancient Talung characters has been grasped.
Even if there are unknown symbols, as long as they are connected before and after, you can roughly guess some meanings.
Ji Xun felt that it was almost done.
.......
Three days have passed, and no sound of fighting can be heard in the maze passage.
I guess there shouldn't be any survivors in the maze.
The monsters and other things should have been sorted out by the people at the Governor's Mansion.
At this time, Ji Xun collected the information in front of him, then stood up and said, "Let's go. The group of people in the Governor's Mansion should be almost dead. Let's find a way to get out now."
"Finally leaving?"
Hearing this, Nan Jing jumped up happily.
This kind of sitting time is simply torture for her lively temperament.
She didn't know why Chujiu believed in this guy so much.
Just wait, even if you wait, it will still be three days.
"Um."
Ji Xun nodded.
He and Chujiu had rarely talked to each other. One was translating ancient texts and the other was healing. For three days, the three of them had almost no communication.
Therefore, the rest of the south mirror seems very boring.
She tinkered with her summoning cards every day and made some small skull cards using materials from the maze.
Chujiu listened without speaking and stood up from meditation.
The most important reason why Ji Xun chose to act now was Chujiu's injury.
Her silver hair has now faded, and her injuries have obviously been effectively healed.
This team's "strongest combat power" and "humanoid radar" must be taken care of. This is the best insurance to increase the fault tolerance rate.
...
The three of them got up and walked towards the maze.
Now that they have experience, Chujiu and Nanjing can also deliberately suppress some of their fears and various emotional fluctuations.
As long as you don't encounter elite monsters, you will basically not attract monster hatred.
No matter how careful you were, it was almost impossible to avoid monsters in this large cemetery maze with hundreds of thousands of skeletons.
But it happened that the group of people from the Governor's Mansion ran rampant in the maze, almost using force to push through the corridors in their path.
Although the number of 300,000 skeletons is terrifying, the level is too low, and there is almost no threat in front of such high-level elite legions.
This also greatly facilitated Ji Xun and the others.
Now those guys are most likely dead, and there is no need to worry about being suddenly hit in the passage like last time.
Coupled with Chujiu's super sense, the risk has been reduced to a minimum.
The three of them still chose the corridor with traces of battle. As they walked along, Ji Xun's eyes were still searching carefully for something among the piles of skeletons.
Sure enough, not long after, they encountered the second corpse of the Frost Knight.
The two women looked solemnly at the human corpses killed by the secret keeper for the first time.
Chujiu looked at the shriveled state and murmured: "Curse method?"
Nan Jing also said with a serious face: "It seems that the flesh, blood and soul have been drained."
Ji Xun had already studied the corpse and was not interested in seeing more.
He Liduo collected the dumped items and equipment from the corpse.
There's nothing to be polite about.
...
The three of them just continued to walk along the tunnel strewn with bones and towards the depths of the maze that they didn't know where to go.
Along the way, Nanjing also left marks along the way.
This also saved Ji Xun some time.
The three of them continued walking towards the maze.
Ji Xunlu found three more corpses of Frost Knights one after another.
Including the previous ones, there are five in total.
Five fine armors, five ice swords, five storage rings and some potions, supplies, iron armor, leather armor... there are many good things.
For him, a card master apprentice, these trophies can definitely be regarded as making him rich overnight.
It is a pity that the large army of Frost Knight Legion was not found.
But there is a high probability that it is not expected.
Governor Cao must have died last, and the place where he died must have the most guards, but it must also be full of [Secret Keepers].
...
Along the way,
Just as Ji Xun expected, with Chujiu's "humanoid radar" around, the danger in the underground palace has been reduced to a minimum.
As the three of them walked in the corridor, she could always sense the scent of powerful monsters immediately and avoid danger in advance.
Although the [Keeper of Secrets]'s hatred range was farther than her perception, once they sensed a monster, the three of them ran away.
Using some obstacles prepared in advance, the three of them were able to escape smoothly every time.
Using this method, the three of them met the "Secret Keeper" several times in the maze, but never met him head-on.
Without this biggest fatal threat, all that's left is to crack the maze itself.
Nan Jing has been to the maze before to get skeleton materials, and actually knows the maze walking methods mastered by the Hunter Guild.
But now the sealing stone has fallen, and the original way out has been blocked.
They can only find another way out.
Although Ji Xun picked up an adventurer's diary, the correct moves were not recorded in it.
The three of them wandered around in this maze, and three days passed in a flash.
.......
The area of this maze is really too big.
We also had to avoid some monsters, took many detours, and wasted a lot of time.
Moreover, the complexity of this maze in the cemetery has always been notoriously difficult for the Hunter Guild, and so far it only has an exploration level of about 40%.
The remaining 60% may have been walked by, but they were all trapped inside.
All maze-type extra-dimensional spaces have the same fatal threat, which is food and water.
Although there are storage rings, the supplies carried by Ji Xun and the others can last up to half a month.
Six days have passed now.
In other words, if they can't find a way out in a few days, even if there are no monsters, they will be trapped and die in it.
To be continued...
