The discovery of the secret room caused a great sensation here, and soon spread throughout the Alfu Heritage Park. People stopped what they were doing, came to the stone room, stretched their necks and looked into the stone room. I want to see what secrets are hidden inside!
Seeing that there were people gathered around him, in order to prevent a stampede and to protect the relics, Zuo Zhu quickly asked people to move the cordon forward to keep out the irrelevant people. After doing this, he and Xia You , entering the secret room through the opened passage.
Compared with the stone room outside, it was obviously darker here, but it was still empty. It looked no different from other rooms, but on the innermost stone wall, they still found a slate painting!
The pictures on the slate paintings are clearly visible, but what is strange is that the slate has been cut into nine pieces and arranged irregularly. It is impossible to tell what the paintings are!
Zuo Zhu walked closer, frowned and thought for a while, and then suddenly realized what it was.
"It's like a puzzle!"
Xia You nodded.
Zuo Zhu was right, just like in the game, there was indeed a puzzle in front of them that had been disrupted.
From today's perspective, puzzles are just an educational toy in people's hands, but in the past era, they were definitely considered to be quite sophisticated mechanisms.
And being able to see such a mechanism made Xia You sigh in relief.
In fact, he was afraid that after struggling for so long, he would end up with no results. Now it seems that he has finally gained something, at least he has not wasted his efforts.
Zuo Zhu put on his gloves and tried it. However, since he could not remove the puzzle, he could only try to move the puzzle piece to the correct position by sliding it piece by piece like decryption.
Fortunately, they can become researchers. These people have very high IQs and they can piece together the puzzle with just a few simple fiddlings.
And when the complete shape appeared in front of everyone's eyes, they discovered that it turned out to be a pattern of a fossil helmet!
"Pattern of a fossil helmet?"
Zuo Zhu was surprised at first, but then he felt it was reasonable.
After all, fossil helmets must have been a very common Pokémon in that era, and it was normal to use them as decoration.
It’s just...it’s gone?
Is it really just a simple puzzle piece?
After waiting for a while, there was no movement at all. Just as Zuo Zhu was about to speak, he suddenly saw a faint light emitting from the puzzle, and then a few lines of short text appeared on the puzzle!
However, this kind of writing is not the language they use now, but an alphabet that looks very much like English. However, what is different from ordinary letters is that each letter has a round shape like an eye, which looks very weird!
"This is totem language!
Zuo Zhu exclaimed.
Although Xia You knew what it was, she still asked in surprise, "Totem language?"
"That's right!" Zuo Zhu nodded, knowing that Xia You might not know anything about this, so he took the initiative to explain, "Totem language can often be found in various ruins. It is a kind of writing left over from ancient times. It is our The predecessor of the text used now, and it is said that it actually evolved from a Pokémon form!"
"Do you know what it says?"
"Wait a minute, let me try to translate!"
Zuo Zhu hurriedly took out a manual from his trouser pocket and quickly rummaged through it for comparison.
After working on it for more than ten minutes, he finally took out his notebook and slowly wrote on the paper: We, the language of the clan, is engraved here!
Just such a short sentence, just ten words, but it makes people look at each other in shock!
Zuo Zhu scratched his head: "What does this mean?"
"I think..." Xia You didn't want to elaborate, so he just said with a smile, "It should be just a ceremonial term."
Seeing that there was no follow-up after the text appeared, Zuo Zhu couldn't help but feel disappointed. He tapped here and then patted there, as if unwilling to end like this.
But no matter how much he instigated, there was no response!
"Don't worry." Xia You took out the radio again and waved it in front of his eyes. "There should be other rooms. Let's try again."
"Other rooms?" Zuo Zhu could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart, "Mr. Xia You, are you saying there are other rooms? How did you know? And...how on earth did you just think of using the radio to find What about the signal method?"
Naturally, Xia You couldn't explain it, so he could only say with a smile: "It's just a sudden inspiration. Okay, let's go out quickly."
There was no way, since Xia You didn't want to talk, Zuo Zhu could only swallow back his doubts.
Several people left the room, and when Xia You turned on the radio again, the nearby sounds had disappeared, perhaps because a mechanism had been unlocked, but weak signals could still be transmitted from other places.
And this also made Zuo Zhu realize that, just like Xia You said, there must be more than one secret room!
The group set out again. Because of the previous experience, this time, Xia You was responsible for searching for the secret room with a radio. After finding it, Zuo Zhu directed the staff to dig, while Xia You went to look for the next location.
In this way, with their joint efforts, they quickly found three more secret rooms one after another!
At the same time, they also discovered the puzzle pieces of fossil pterosaurs and ammonite beasts in the secret room. Even in the last stone room, what appeared in front of them was the puzzle piece of the Phoenix King!
The first few pictures were nothing, but when King Feng's picture appeared, the breathing of Zuo Zhu and other researchers became much heavier!
"It's actually the Phoenix King!
He said in disbelief, "So, the mysterious bird song heard on the radio should be the voice of the Phoenix King!"
"
After hearing what he said, Xia You also felt that the bird song should be caused by the Feng King, but because he had never heard the Feng King's voice, he did not dare to make a conclusion.
After unlocking the three traps, they got three more paragraphs of text, but after that, all the sounds on the radio suddenly disappeared.
No matter where I changed it, or tuned to another channel, there was only the endless sound of 'rustling' snowflakes on the radio.
It seems that all the mysterious signals have disappeared now...
"What should we do now?"
Zuo Zhu was anxious in his heart. Everything that happened today was the most magical and incredible thing he had encountered since he came to the Alfu ruins. It also made him eager to know the mystery hidden at the end!
Xia You also frowned.
To be honest, in the game, this incident was just a cutscene or a simple process, but now it was the real world, and he didn't know what to do next!
Just as he was thinking about it, his eyes suddenly lit up after scanning the four secret rooms in sequence!
In his mind, he connected these four positions into a line, and then found the place where they intersected. He walked quickly and soon came to an ordinary-looking stone slab!
He stamped his feet vigorously, and the echo of 'Dongdong' came to his ears, and this meant that there was definitely a new secret room under his feet!
Zuo Zhu could swear that they had walked here countless times before and had never seen this stone slab before!
It seems that some mechanism must have been triggered to make the stone slab appear!
He waved his hand excitedly and asked the staff to open the slate. When the slate was lifted, a dark room appeared in front of them!
