"District 1 and 2 Translation Dictionary, Super Hardcover Special Edition - Reading will further improve your learning efficiency"
He Ao looked at the dictionary in his hand, which was made of hard paper and had a fancy title written in area 1 and 2 on the cover, and he slowly opened the cover.
The first thing he saw was a piece of paper filled with text in the first area, which seemed to be the preface of this dictionary. He Ao turned directly to the second page.
The second page is the preface of the language version of Zone 2. The author who wrote this preface is named "Weisen". Looking at the introduction at the bottom of the page, it seems that he is a master of linguistics, and he edited this book.
The core content is that 'now' - which probably refers to the era when this book was published - science and technology are highly developed. Simultaneous interpretation under artificial intelligence and big data has solved almost all cross-regional language communication problems, but this has also led to
The reason is that fewer and fewer people study another language seriously, and fewer and fewer people can deeply feel the charm of a language.
So they planned to compile and publish a set of 'translation dictionaries', aiming to provide a simple and quick entry aid for people who are interested in learning another language.
The book in He Ao's hand is a translation dictionary for the first and second districts. It is a reference book for students in the first district who want to learn the characters of the second district.
Behind the preface is a supplementary explanation similar to an advertisement, saying that the book has been launched on an electronic platform and can be purchased as an e-book and read on electronic devices.
Next is the table of contents. He Ao's eyes quickly glanced at the table of contents. This dictionary is for learners in the first area, so the table of contents is written in the words of the first area, and there is no focus.
At this moment, his body and soul descended, turned down the page, and looked at the main text of the book.
The text on the first page is a bunch of lines.
He Ao:?
Then he immediately turned to the second page.
The second page is also a bunch of lines.
He Ao:??
His eyes stayed on the third page. This time, text appeared on it, which was a normal paragraph translated from the first language to the second language.
He Ao breathed a sigh of relief, turned on his super memory, quickly flipped through the dictionary, and 'memorized' all the contents in it.
Then he reviewed the contents of the dictionary again.
Almost 20% of the text in this book is garbled, and they are all concentrated on common words in the first area.
However, many of these garbled common characters are characters that He Ao knew before, so overall, his mastery of the basic characters in the first area should be more than 80%.
At this level, he can already read most of the content in the first area.
In a sense, he was finally not considered 'illiterate'.
This 'dictionary' also added a lot of grammatical knowledge in the 'Second Area', and used the 'grammar' in the First Area as examples, allowing He Ao to understand a lot of grammatical knowledge in the First Area language.
Overall, as he had guessed before, they both evolved from hieroglyphs. The grammar of the first area language and the grammar of the Chinese language have some similarities. He should be able to directly use the Chinese language for some grammatical knowledge that is not in the dictionary.
to understand the syntax.
However, why are some words in the dictionary garbled?
He Ao closed the dictionary and looked up at the bookshelf in front of him.
Among the densely packed books on the bookshelf, there is no more translation dictionary for the first and second zone languages.
He Ao slowly put the dictionary in his hand back to its original position.
If there is a problem with the entire dictionary and all the contents are garbled, then he can understand that this relic of the past has some restrictions on the contents of these dictionaries, just like all smart devices cannot be used.
But if only part of the code is garbled, what could be the reason?
Is it a problem with the dictionary? Or is it a problem with the garbled text?
He Ao seemed to have seen some of those garbled words on the signboard outside before.
So it’s a problem with this dictionary? Why are there so many books but only one translation dictionary between Zone 1 and Zone 2 languages?
Is it because technology is developing too fast that making dictionaries is useless and only this one company is making dictionaries? Or is this kind of 'monopoly' formed due to some other reason?
Is there some underlying commonality among the ‘garbled’ characters in the ruins of the past?
Thoughts flashed through He Ao's mind.
And just as he was looking at the books on the bookshelf, a figure wearing a peaked cap walked past him.
The corridor formed between two adjacent bookshelves was not wide and could not accommodate two people side by side, so the man in the peaked hat turned sideways and walked past He Ao.
At this moment, He Ao suddenly raised his hand, and the Shadowless Sword appeared in his hand.
Metal claws with three sharp blades streaked across the sky, and with three streams of light, they cut towards He Ao's neck.
Some paranoid thoughts also emerged from He Ao's mind, but these did not affect his actions.
He Ao's figure rose in the wind like catkins in the wind, spinning to the side. The moment he flashed his sharp claws, he raised his sword and struck down.
The invisible blade sliced open the visitor's body like a veil.
The sharp claws touched the bookshelf where He Ao was standing just now, and directly chopped the entire bookshelf into pieces.
At the same time, the upper body of the man in the peaked cap also slipped forward and fell to the ground.
He Ao stared at the man in the peaked hat who was split into two parts by him.
The ability this person displayed was a bit like the talent sequence 103: Paranoia he had seen before.
At this moment, the twisted flesh and blood swelled up on the remaining two parts of the man in the peaked cap, exploding the surrounding desks and bookshelves together. Countless tentacles extended from the monster's body, seeming to turn into a ferocious monster.
Monsters, burrowing into ceilings and floors.
Even after such a big 'shock', the surrounding phantoms still walked past the monster as if nothing happened, and were then 'torn apart' by the monster's extended flesh and blood.
He Ao briefly turned on Super Memory and took a look at the monster. Under Super Memory's vision, he could vaguely see a layer of incomplete 'shadow' attached to the monster's body.
This monster also has energy gathering points in its body. Like the 'Kawina' that He Ao met in the main world, it is three connected triangular energy gathering points.
When the monster's body expanded, He Ao raised his hand slightly, and the flying sword light came out of his hand.
The scattered sword light instantly penetrated the squirming monster's body, cutting off three energy gathering points in the monster's body in one fell swoop.
Then he cut it open and smashed it into pieces easily, but in an instant, only a pool of broken flesh and blood was left on the ground.
He Ao withdrew the Shadowless Sword and stared at the flesh and blood.
This attacker itself is not strong, only C-level. Even if it expands into a monster form, it is only close to B-level.
It looks like a 'person' who originally existed in the ruins. He can also hurt the surrounding phantoms. It seems that he can interact with the 'phantoms'. Under this premise, he can also see He Ao and attack He Ao.
.
boom--
At this moment, there was also a huge collision sound under his feet.
On the second floor, is that Goya?
He glanced at the broken flesh and blood on the ground, then raised the edge of the sword and directly controlled the Shadowless Sword to cut through the entire floor, drawing a circle under his feet.
Then he stomped lightly, and the cut floor beneath his feet suddenly fell, taking his figure downstairs.
His figure quickly passed through the floors of the second and third floors and entered the second floor. He raised his head and looked forward.
At the end of his field of vision, countless green vines were growing out of the ground, entwining a huge swollen flesh and blood monster.
Goya, dressed in white, was standing in front of the flesh and blood monster, holding a staff in one hand and a long map in the other.
All the surrounding bookshelves and buildings have been shattered, and most of the entire second floor has been turned into ruins.
Only the monsters that were entangled in vines, struggling constantly, and the vines that continued to twine upwards still stood in the ruins.
The monsters that Goya faced were stronger than those that He Ao faced, and had already crossed the B-level threshold.
He Ao turned on his super memory and glanced at the monster. Vaguely, he also saw some kind of incomplete 'shadow' on the monster.
The Shadowless Sword flew out of his hand and rushed towards the end of the house like a stream of light.
Almost at the same moment, he stepped lightly on a sloping bookshelf next to him, jumped out, and flew in the direction of Goya.
At this moment, Goya frowned and stared at the monster in front of her.
The tips of the green vines turned yellow, and the monster's body was decaying rapidly, but the rate of decay seemed far less than she expected.
Whenever decayed flesh and blood falls, it will be filled with the monster's new limbs. This monster seems to have some special ability to proliferate.
At this moment, an invisible shadow rushed out from behind her and instantly disappeared into the body of the monster wrapped in vines.
Ge Ya also realized something at this moment. She raised her hand and suddenly accelerated the speed at which the vines withered.
The monster that had originally expanded violently began to shrink quickly, and then it seemed as if some invisible stream of light flashed rapidly inside the monster's body. The entire monster's body twitched, and then shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The monster shriveled up quickly, weakening the resistance of the sword's edge. Invisible light flowed up and down in the monster's body, shredding the entire flesh and blood in the monster's body in a very short time.
"Have you encountered it too?"
He Ao walked to Ge Ya, raised his hand, and the Shadowless Sword returned to his hand.
This monster also has an energy gathering point, which is also a triangle.
"Um,"
Ge Ya nodded subconsciously, "I was just looking at the map here, and then this guy suddenly rushed out and attacked me for some reason..."
At this time, she suddenly raised her head and suddenly realized something. She blinked and looked at He Ao, "Have you encountered it too?"
"Um,"
He Ao nodded, "I got rid of it upstairs. It seemed to be a strength-oriented monster."
"I seem to be of the 'proliferative' type, and can be immune to my 'withering of life' to a certain extent,"
Goya stared at the crushed flesh and blood on the ground, and then glanced at the remaining 'phantoms' around her who were still moving normally, "It seems like these monsters can see us?"
"Um."
He Ao nodded, squatted down and looked at the flesh and blood on the ground.
Under the influence of the Eye of Truth, the structure of these flesh and blood is actually not much different from the surrounding phantoms.
The biggest difference is those shadows that seem to be incomplete, which seem to be some kind of incomplete and incomplete souls attached to these monsters, and as these monsters die, those shadows quickly disappear.
"These monsters seem to have 'souls'."
He Ao looked at the flesh and blood and said slowly.
"well?"
Ge Ya was stunned. She looked at the flesh and blood on the ground and asked, "Are they missing persons in the real world?"
"no,"
He Ao shook his head and stood up.
"Their souls are not complete. Compared to normal souls, there are only a few parts. The missing people will at least have complete souls, and their clothes are more like the people in the original ruins."
"Between a human and a phantom?"
Ge Ya thought, "Is it created by the being behind the scenes to deal with us?"
"It should not have been created. Now the beings behind the scenes can only use the power of the rules themselves to expel us. These monsters should exist in this phantom themselves."
He Ao shook his head slightly.
Ge Ya raised the staff in her hand and lightly scratched her head with the staff.
She felt like she couldn't keep up with He Ao's rhythm.
Boom boom boom——
At this moment, a violent roar of thunder exploded beneath their feet.
"Li Cheng?"
The two looked at each other and reacted quickly.
On the first floor is Li Cheng.
But at this moment, a huge blade of grass rushed out from under the two of them, tearing up the floor under their feet.
However, before the two of them could react, a thunderous thunder followed, scorching the entire blade of grass.
The two of them followed the broken floor to the first floor and fell next to Li Cheng, who was surrounded by thunder.
The entire 'partition' and 'building' on the first floor seemed to have been destroyed, and various plants were growing out of the floor.
There are trees, flowers, and huge twisted blades of grass.
At this moment, these trees, flowers, grass and leaves are all twisted, and their green stems are squirming like flesh and blood, seeming to be watching the three people in the center.
The monsters on the first floor are obviously much stronger than those on the second and third floors.
The three of them looked at each other and quickly formed a triangle formation back to back to look at the surrounding plants.
Those swaying plants did not give the three people the opportunity to prepare, and they twisted out in an instant and swept towards the three people.
The grass blades danced into snakes, the flower petals opened their bloody mouths, and the trees stretched out their branches.
He Ao raised his hand, and the invisible blade lurked in the shadows, instantly cutting off the plants rushing towards him.
Shining thunder lit up behind him, and the electric light from Li Cheng's body spread out, scorching the surrounding plants.
Emerald green vines also rushed out from Goya's feet, entangling the rushing plants. The withered yellow color spread from the vines, withering the plants along with them.
"There is a strong life force below!"
At this moment, Ge Ya lowered her head and shouted.
Rumble——
Almost at the moment her shout rang out, the ground beneath the three people's feet quickly began to tremble.
The smooth floor under everyone's feet was instantly covered with cracks, and dark, decaying tree roots that looked like flesh and blood crawled out of the cracks, as if they had broken free from the grip of the earth and were about to reveal their bodies.
At this moment, countless green vines spread down and wrapped around the roots of the trees on the ground.
The withered yellow color spread from the vines to the tree roots, and the entire tree roots began to change color. In this moment, the movements of the tree roots paused for a moment.
"The center is at our feet."
He Ao, who was looking down at the tree roots emerging from the floor under his feet, said immediately.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Li Cheng raised his hand, and the shining electric light gathered in his palm like a scorching sun, illuminating the entire space, like a sharp spear piercing the dark tree roots under their feet.
But this blow did not kill the tree roots. The tree roots finally broke free from the influence of the 'withered yellow'. The struggling roots were about to swell, and in the next moment, the invisible sword blade suddenly rushed down along the hole pierced by the thunder.
, piercing the flesh and blood deep in the roots of the tree.
Click——
The huge tree root finally stopped at this moment, but the continuous cracks around it spread to the wall.
The three of them looked at each other and immediately rushed out of the library building.
boom--
The exquisite high-rise building suddenly collapsed behind the three people, sending up smoke and dust that filled the air for several meters.
The three of them stood on the street, looking at the ruins behind them.
In fact, the three of them were very cautious in the battle and basically did not actively destroy the buildings. However, those monsters were not so particular. Even in the aftermath of the battle, ordinary buildings like this could not be saved.
This is without Li Cheng using angel-level weapons.
Under the aftermath of the angel-level weapons, I am afraid that all the surrounding cities will become ruins.
"Who are these attackers..."
Li Cheng stared at the ruins in front of him with some doubts.
"Maybe it was the 'transcendent' who was once in the ruins,"
He Aosi thought, and then he relayed what he had just discussed with Goya to Li Cheng, and continued, "The monster that attacked me seems to have a talent sequence close to mine, and the monster that attacked Goya, the talent sequence and ability
She also seems to be close to Goya.”
The monster that attacked He Ao was the weakest, probably because the clone itself was only C-level, so a C-level one came.
The monsters that Goya and Li Cheng came to were corresponding to their own strength.
"so,"
Li Cheng answered softly, seeming to be lost in some kind of thinking, "That plant monster may also be somewhat close to my talent sequence."
Then he raised his head and looked at 'Hao Yi', "So these are all 'monsters' created by the original extraordinary beings who have the talent sequence adjacent to ours? Or are they 'reproduced' like they were in the bubble space?"
?”
"It's not clear yet,"
He Ao shook his head. He looked at the ruins in front of him and the buildings around the ruins, and said with some emotion, "Maybe it's because of the incomplete undead attracted back by mystical connections. After all, this place is indeed exactly the same as the 'ruins' in the past."
.”
Li Cheng stared at the ruins in front of him and fell into a brief silence.
"Oops,"
Then he suddenly realized something, "We haven't found the map yet."
"We may have found it."
He Ao turned around and looked at Ge Ya, who was standing behind the two of them and had been silent.
Li Cheng also turned around.
Ge Ya looked at the two of them and raised her hand with some restraint. When the three of them were together, she was not as relaxed as when she was alone with 'Hao Yi'.
In her hand at this moment is a roll of map.
I’ve written too much, so I’ll be late. Please give me a thumbs up for a very large chapter.
