Chapter 166: Deciphering the Rune
Mona stopped walking out the door, turned around and said to the three kings and the giant whale chief:
"Chief Giant Whale, please be careful in your territory and keep an eye on those men in black or strange orcs. If they invade the sea tribes, please notify the defense and reinforcements in time! Please also be prepared to prevent a surprise attack led by the Sea Demon!"
The giant whale chief stood there stupidly. Was this concern or intimidation?
"You big fool, why don't you thank the witch? You're right to listen to her!" The mermaid princess slapped the giant whale chief hard from behind, and the giant whale chief finally reacted.
"Yes, I will. Thank you, Miko-sama!"
"You must protect the sea tribe, Princess. You must pay special attention to the sea valley. Remember what you promised Senior Soul Grass!"
"Don't worry, Miko-sama, I won't be perfunctory!"
"Let's go! Take care, everyone!"
Mona waved her hand and disappeared with everyone else at the entrance of the Sea King's Palace. The three kings were left staring at each other in bewilderment. The giant whale leader was completely bewildered.
It is said that the Sea Demon led the men in black and used the air bags of the giant whale tribe to successfully arrive at another continent. This continent was surrounded by the sea and had a pitifully small land area. As soon as they landed, they ran into the men in black who came to greet them.
The leading man in black saluted the Sea Devil and began to report the situation:
"Reporting to the lord, our people have successfully infiltrated various tribes and are just waiting for the lord's order to take action."
The Sea Demon nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, this time we must get that thing." He looked at the land in the distance, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.
"By the way, what instructions does the Dark Demon Lord have?"
"Sir, I cannot approach the Dark Abyss and cannot know the Dark Demon God's instructions!"
"Got it. You guys go and rest. I'll go see him first!" The Sea Demon God turned into a puff of black smoke and flew towards the Dark Abyss. When he reached the entrance of the Dark Abyss, he was blocked by a powerful force.
"What's going on?" The Sea Demon was shocked. He tried to move forward again, but found that the force was getting stronger and stronger.
In desperation, the Sea Demon God could only return. He realized that the Dark Demon God must have encountered some trouble.
Meanwhile, on land, the various tribes also noticed something was amiss. Some tribesmen began to disappear, and the men in black who had infiltrated the tribes gradually revealed their true colors.
A huge conspiracy is quietly brewing. Can the sea creatures and the creatures on land perceive the crisis and protect their homes?
Meanwhile, Mona and her group arrived at their destination. Two priests and their tribesmen were already waiting at the entrance of the Valley of Ecstasy. After exchanging pleasantries with the two priests, Mona returned to the meeting room and directly inquired about the method for deciphering the rune.
"Bixi, Wushuang, take out the body of the eight-legged spider beast. Let the two priests take a look."
"Yeah." Bixi and Wushuang took out the spider's body and turned its belly towards the sky, revealing pattern-like runes.
The two priests stood up in surprise, staring at the rune before them. They approached and gently touched it.
"Where did you find this monster? It seems to have never appeared on our continent before. The runes on its body are likely man-made, not naturally occurring."
"This was found in a tribe near the sea. It was underground at the time, and the vibrations from Jin Jue chasing the unicorns caused it to break free. It took us tremendous effort to kill it. It was Wushuang who carefully discovered its runes, and we brought it back to you to show you what secrets lie within it."
The priest of the Silver Wolf tribe said
"Wait a moment!" He hurried back to his residence, hurriedly taking out a thick animal-skin notebook. Long Ying and Bai Chen approached him and asked anxiously.
"Little Priest, have you found any clues?"
The young priest raised the animal-skin bracelet in his hand and answered in a brisk tone.
"I remember seeing a record on this animal skin. Let me look for it."
Everyone stared at the little priest's animal skin, watching him turn the pages one by one, their hearts trembling.
The young priest paused. Finally, he found a similar illustration on the last few pages. Beside the illustrations were some annotations that the priest could understand.
"Your Excellency, what are you talking about?"
Jin Jue and Qing Li stretched their necks to watch, only to see some strange shapes.
The young priest said, "Qingli, this is the inheritance left by our ancestors, along with the Moon-gazing Mirror. The Moon-gazing Mirror was left to you. This ancient animal hide book was left to me. I've been studying it, but I've never been able to understand it. Only today, seeing the image and text on this ferocious beast, did I get a connection."
"Little priest, you mean to have cracked the rune!"
Mona looked at the little priest anxiously, and the little priest spoke and gestured calmly!
"The inverted triangle pattern drawn here probably represents the rising sea level and the sinking of the continent. High Priest, come and take a look!"
High Priest Yun picked up the hide and carefully examined the two patterns. He then closed his eyes and pinched his fingers to study them carefully.
"Hmm! This means the sea level is rising and the continent is sinking!"
"We've been in the sea tribe for so many days, and we haven't seen the water rise. The coastal tribes on land haven't sunk either! Did we make a mistake in our calculations?"
Jin Jue was stubborn and kept making noises. Mona yelled:
"Jin Jue, shut up! Stop talking nonsense and listen to the two priests' analysis and solution!"
The two priests rolled their eyes at Jin Jue simultaneously, and the young priest continued:
"The five corners represent fragmentation, which probably refers to tribes and peoples. And the imbalanced shape means that we are divided into two in the Beast World, and there is another continent. This upside-down shape is the same. It probably means that the other continent wants to replace us and occupy our continent."
"So much for saying that, but in one sentence, someone wants to unify the beast world!"
Jin almost finished speaking and quickly covered his mouth, looking at Mona pitifully.
"You are right. This is exactly what the two priests interpreted!"
"But, this rune seems to indicate that someone has deliberately informed us of this news. Who could this person be?"
Senior Huncao stood up and said with a smile.
"This should be our fifth brother. In other words, he's an orc from the Spirit Fox Clan. Priest, think again, was the one who gave it to you a senior from the Fox Clan? Isn't there a blue teardrop-shaped mark on his forehead?"
"I'm not sure. It was given to me by our ancestor, but he once said it was given to him by someone else, and he saved that person's life."
Bai Chen asked anxiously.
"Did he tell me where he rescued him?"
"Hmm... I don't know. Our ancestors have been going to see the Beast God for hundreds of years. I don't know either. Where is he? I don't even know if this person exists."
"Then where did you come up with this result?"
"This is the conclusion I came to after burning my own life force. I believe Priest Yun already knew this, right?"
"Yes, we have known this for a long time. When the witch first entered the Teng Snake tribe, we believed that she was here to save us. Until now, I still firmly believe that my divination was correct"!
The high priest continued with a smile, "This rune dates back to ancient times. Its mysteries are beyond words. But the young priest and I have studied it for several years and finally found a way to decipher it."
When everyone heard this, they all looked expectant.
The high priest continued, "This rune must be touched in a specific order and rhythm to seal it within the beast's belly. This person is truly extraordinary, able to use such a ferocious beast to deliver a message!"
