After translating the Latin text on the clay tablet, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi were silent for a while, thinking about the meaning of the text.
"What does it mean?" Li Shuyi was confused.
"Don't think too much about it," Bai Xiaowen said. "For this kind of riddle-solving text, it's not enough to just have the riddle. You have to understand the scope of the riddle, which is the background, before you can make the corresponding inference."
It was like a riddle. After the person who came up with the riddle, he or she would often add a sentence such as "solve an object" or "solve a word" at the end. This was the scope of the riddle.
Unless the riddle was too simple or the scope of the riddle had been defined in the riddle, most riddles would be set up in this way.
Bai Xiaowen paused for a moment and said, "From the riddle of these thirty-six words and the information we have obtained so far, we can only deduce two points."
"First, there is a high probability that this is a doomsday prophecy."
"Second, the god in the sentence should be an evil god that leans towards the dark camp. It is very likely that he is the object of worship of the Quagmire Naga tribe. A normal god would not 'descend from the abyss'. "
Finally, Bai Xiaowen added, "There are only three sentences that we can't solve now. 'The mountains turn into reflections, the fishes eat the vultures' and 'The shadows cover the sky.' These three sentences are more difficult to understand. It feels like … it's deliberately mystifying. There's no need to think so much. "
Li Shuyi said a little worriedly, "A prophecy about the end of the world? Is it the end of the world on Earth? The destruction of Earth? "
"Do you believe in the end of the world?" Bai Xiaowen asked in return.
"Psionic particles have appeared. The modern scientific system that humans have believed in for hundreds of years has almost collapsed. Until now, there are still many unsolved mysteries about psionic particles that can only be replaced by hypotheses … I think it's not surprising that the end of the world will happen."
Bai Xiaowen had neglected one point. Li Shuyi had grown up in the Psionic Era, and the people who grew up in this era would definitely accept and believe in the end of the world much more than the people of the Christian era.
Even in the Common Era, almost no supernatural forces appeared in the public eye. There were still sects that preached the end of the world and recruited believers. Of course, they were all cults, but the appearance of cults meant that there was a considerable "mass base."
Bai Xiaowen said, "Don't worry. Even if there is an apocalypse, Earth will be fine. Earth has existed for 4.6 billion years … How long has the history of mankind been? How long has the era of psionic energy been?"
Seeing Li Shuyi's grave expression, Bai Xiaowen heaved a sigh of relief. He had underestimated the influence of the doomsday prophecy on Li Shuyi's generation. This was also the reason why the governments of various countries severely cracked down on the various religions that preached the end of the world. In terms of punishment, it was much more severe than in the Christian era.
Even so, cults were still popping up like bamboo shoots after the rain, and it was impossible to ban them.
"Well, I guess this prophecy doesn't refer to Earth." Bai Xiaowen put his arm around Li Shuyi's slender waist. "Have you forgotten how the treasured space in the Dead Soul Lake was formed? All the treasured spaces are fragments peeled off from the Spiritual Realm … In other words, this prophecy came from a certain Spiritual Realm. Of course, it refers to the end of the Spiritual Realm, and it has nothing to do with Earth. "
Li Shuyi smiled embarrassedly and finally felt relieved.
The two of them went on their way again and continued to explore the Pale Swamp.
A few more hours passed.
Bai Xiaowen could finally summon the skeleton sword-shieldman, shadow assassin, and Fatty Suture, who had died in the battle to kill Tao Wu. Bai Xiaowen's army of summoned creatures had finally reached its peak.
"It's almost time. I'll summon Fatty. A special item appeared when we killed the Level 6 Voodoo Giant Corpse. Let me see if Fatty can use it, "Bai Xiaowen said after another wave of battle ended.
Bai Xiaowen raised his hand to summon the Suture, then took out the "Voodoo Core" from the storage space.
The description of the Voodoo Core said that it was very attractive to the Zombie Demon Clan. Bai Xiaowen certainly wanted to give it a try.
When Fatty saw the Voodoo Core, he instinctively reached out his chubby and dirty hand.
Bai Xiaowen passed the Voodoo Core to Fatty's hand. Fatty opened his mouth and swallowed the Voodoo Core in one gulp. Then, he lay down without saying anything. "ZZZ …"
"…"
Bai Xiaowen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect that Fatty's first reaction after swallowing the core was to sleep. He tried to put Fatty into the Black Soul Stone, but he received a notification:
"Your summoned creature, the Suture, is in a state of hibernation for evolution. Estimated time remaining: 3 hours 59 minutes 11 seconds."
"If you recall the Suture in advance, the hibernation will end and the evolution will fail."
"Do you want to recall it?"
Of course, Bai Xiaowen couldn't choose to recall it. Fatty's evolution would definitely mean an increase in strength. He couldn't ask for more.
Li Shuyi also saw the notification that Bai Xiaowen shared. He said, "Let's wait here. The four hours will be over soon."
Bai Xiaowen said, "No need to wait. Let's continue."
"But Fatty is still sleeping," Li Shuyi said.
Bai Xiaowen smirked and waved his hand. The four skeletons stepped forward and put away their iron sabers and iron shields. Their eight bony claws supported Fatty's shoulders and buttocks, and they lifted Fatty, who weighed more than two hundred kilograms, up into the air.
The weight of 200 kilograms might seem scary, but it wasn't a problem for the four Skeleton Swordsmen who all had 19 points of strength. Even four ordinary strong men could lift 200 kilograms if they clenched their teeth. Moreover, the Skeleton Swordsmen were much stronger than ordinary people. Of course, it was easy for them. Even in the swamp, they could still move as if they were flying.
"This is good. We won't disturb Fatty's evolution and won't delay our journey." Bai Xiaowen smiled proudly. Who asked him to summon so many creatures!
Even if they did encounter an enemy, the remaining two Skeletal Swordsman + Wrath Claw + Shadow Assassin + Skeletal Fiend Arcane Master + Vampire Kitts + Skeleton Warrior + Wraith were more than enough to deal with the enemy. In short, he could summon as many creatures as he wanted!
Li Shuyi smiled until his eyes narrowed. "Alright, let's go …"
A strange formation appeared. Keats was at the front, followed by Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi. In the middle were four Skeletons carrying a big Fatty, as well as Evil Ghost, Skeletal Fiend Arcane Master, and other weak professions. The Wrath Claw and Skeleton Warrior were at the back. It was quite a comical sight.
After walking for a while, Bai Xiaowen's expression suddenly changed as he looked at the thick fog in front of them.
