Cheng Lin and the great swordsman looked at each other and asked, "What is it?"
Yu Fu looked at the two of them. Suddenly, he saw spiritual energy fluctuations appearing on his body. Starting from Yu Fu's feet, winding vines appeared.
The vines quickly spiraled up his legs, spreading to his chest, then his neck, and the top of his head. As they spread, green leaves continued to grow on the vines, gradually covering Yu Fu's body.
In fact, there were many flower bones that bloomed with a wave of sound, blooming on his body, his face, and the top of his head.
In just a breath, the dignified chief alchemist of the empire was wrapped in green vines, and his original clothes were almost completely covered up.
He is like a tree covered with vines.
Cheng Lin and the great swordsman took a deep breath, took a few steps back, and asked in surprise: "Is this the technique you obtained?"
"Probably."
"The mystery of this method is the only one I have seen in my life!" the great swordsman exclaimed.
Yu Fu lifted the spell, and the vines retreated and disappeared. He returned to his original state, staring blankly at his right hand.
"Just now, I punched the Dao pattern into it, and then a strange power entered my hand. Then, I seemed to understand this method. I don't know its specific content, but it will release
, still need to explore.”
Yu Fu explained.
Cheng Lin's eyes moved slightly after hearing this. The phenomenon Yu Fu mentioned was clearly very similar to the innate abilities acquired by the Awakened.
I also don’t know the principle, I just know how to release it.
This is completely different from the supernatural ability that can be learned, similar to the weapon refining.
"Could it be that...this is one of the three thousand spells?"
Cheng Lin doubted.
"It is very possible. It seems that the three thousand spells mentioned by Immortal He are hidden in the process of solving the puzzle. As long as you crack a little bit, you can get a spell!" Yu Fu said seriously.
"That should be it."
Cheng Lin said, but he still had other thoughts in his mind. For example, He Xianren had said very arrogantly before that if he could master one of the three thousand spells, he could dominate the world.
But can this ability to turn into a vine really dominate the world with its power?
Maybe we can only walk across the park? Cheng Lin seriously doubted it.
The other thing is...
If this is true, then when it is projected into reality and modern monks solve the mystery, will they also gain innate abilities again?
If possible, wouldn't practitioners who solve the puzzle become "dual awakenings" similar to Cao Wei?
Or... I have all affinity, can I get talents and abilities from here?
…
His heart was in turmoil, and Cheng Lin was a little eager to give it a try.
"continue?"
He said.
Yu Fu and the great swordsman sat cross-legged and nodded: "Continue!"
The sun and moon rotated around, and not long after the few people sat down, it became dark.
Several people studied it for a while, but in the end they didn't have time to crack some more.
Can only pause tonight.
The two returned to the keel ship to eat and rest, but Cheng Lin did not leave. He would not feel hungry during the deduction anyway.
He just leaned against the ancient well, watching the rising clouds and mist, and watching the cold moonlight blocked by the mist.
He had a hunch that this crackdown would probably take a really long time.
It takes far longer than them climbing the ladder to heaven.
…
…
In the blink of an eye, another seven days passed.
During these seven days, apart from eating and sleeping, the three of them spent the rest of the time solving puzzles on the island in the middle of the lake with all their heart.
With the first successful example, they gradually gained some experience in cracking.
However, the cracking progress has not been accelerated due to their proficiency.
First complete the parts that are easier, and the rest will be much more complicated.
Sometimes, even after several people have studied for hours, the field they come up with will still fail.
Fortunately, none of the three of them have the character to give up easily.
Failed? Then start over.
They had turned over and smeared the mud on the island in the center of the lake many times, and dozens of small branches had been broken.
The cracking process was not smooth sailing. Many times, they would face quarrels with different opinions. At this time, Yu Fu and the great swordsman seemed to have forgotten about the five-core puppets who were watching eagerly next to them. They were just arguing seriously, but Cheng Lin did not move an inch.
let.
In the end, everyone wins and loses.
The more you stumble, the more you crack it, the more you sink your mind, the more time and other external factors are ignored.
Although they were in the wild, the few people seemed to be in the research institute, facing difficult problems and working day and night. In the end, in order to save time, the sword master brought two sets of bedding and some prepared food from the ship, and Yu Fu and the two
People might as well eat here and live here.
Seven days have passed, but the cracking progress has only reached 5%.
In the process, the great swordsman also acquired a technique by completing the field.
It's a method of controlling flames, but it's a bit more serious than Yu Fu's method.
Cheng Lin also tried to complete it twice, but failed to obtain any spells.
This made Yu Fu and the great swordsman very confused, but they couldn't ask more questions about the mysterious Cheng Lin.
Cheng Lin himself had some guesses.
"Maybe it has something to do with me being in the middle of a deduction, or maybe it has something to do with my all-around friendly physique."
He is not disappointed either. Regarding those magic powers, he is relatively indifferent. He has only one goal, and that is the fairy sword!
In this way, the sun rises and the moon sets.
Three months passed quietly.
…
"Click."
On the island in the middle of the lake, the small branch in Yu Fu's hand was broken again.
He instinctively reached out to grab a broken tree next to him, trying to break off a branch, but failed.
Turning around, he saw that the broken tree had been stripped bare by him.
"It's been three months."
He took back his hand dejectedly, looked up at the sky, and said.
At this moment, Yu Fu was completely different from when he first arrived on the island.
His clothes became tattered, his hair was spread out and half of it was gray, the beard on his face was messy, and his face was withered and gloomy, almost like a beggar in the capital of Qin Dynasty.
The great swordsman was even worse than him. Although he was in good spirits, he almost looked like a savage in appearance.
After living in the open air for three months, all their attention was focused on cracking the problem. Both of them were extremely exhausted, both physically and mentally.
Cheng Lin's situation is the best.
His clothes were still clean and his face was still neat. All of this was thanks to the safe house. Cheng Lin had never liked the safe house as much as he did now. Without this house, three months later, he would probably be worse than two.
People are even worse.
"Yes, it's been three months."
Cheng Lin rubbed his bloodshot eyes tiredly and said.
He had never stayed in a game for so long.
In the past, even tens of thousands or hundreds of millions of years passed by in the blink of an eye, but this time, three months was not compromised at all.
He spent three months deciphering here.
It was an extremely difficult and torturous three months, with countless failures and a few occasional successes. He used all his heart and wisdom to crack the code of the fairy stone. Cheng Lin had never used his brain like this before. This was even far better than he did before the college entrance examination.
That part was very tiring.
Many times, even the practitioner's physical and mental strength are struggling to hold on. After cracking every day, when he returns to the safe house, he is so tired that he falls on the bed and falls asleep. When he gets up the next day, he washes his face and goes to sleep.
Continue to decipher.
If this is a puzzle game, it is indeed the most hardcore game he has ever played.
As for the cracking progress...
[Crack progress: 54%]
Yes, after three months, with their joint efforts, they finally cracked half of it.
Now look at the fairy stone.
Half of the area has been completely lit up, and only the other half is still going on and off, flickering, waiting for them to complete.
This progress can be said to be fast or slow, but it cannot be said to be slow.
After all, there are only three of them.
"According to the current progress, it will take at least several months or even a year to completely unravel it." Yu Fu said suddenly.
After all, the further you go, the more complex the fields that need to be completed become.
The great swordsman shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I can't help but think that if the difficulty keeps increasing, in the end, it may not be possible to break it for several years."
"This question left by Immortal He is too difficult. Maybe we all lack enough talent to answer it."
"Talent? I think this question doesn't require any talent at all. All it requires is hard work and a little bit of hard work."
"Give us a few more years and we will definitely be able to solve it."
"But... there is no time." Yu Fu sighed.
Cheng Lin finally broke away from the calculation and looked at him with a question on his face: "No time? What do you mean?"
Like a beggar, Yu Fu shook his head and sighed: "We have been stranded here for three months. The fleet's food is about to run out. We must leave."
