Chapter 616

"Is this a lounge? It seems a bit out of place. Did the warriors who participated in the competition in the past rest here?" Bai E said after looking at the layout of the room.

"Well... there are only some daily necessities, nothing special, and there is a thick layer of dust. It must have been moved for a long time. Maybe it was left behind by Wan Di's tribesmen when they left?" Bai E stretched out his fingers and gently brushed across the table. His fingertips were instantly covered with thick dust.

"Then who are his people?" Xing asked curiously.

"You must have seen it in Ohma, but it's hard to tell with just your eyes."

"They look like everyone else, but they have some traditions that are...different from ours."

Special tradition...Lin Yu fell into deep thought when he heard this.

He tried to search his memory for every detail of his time in Ohma, the hustle and bustle of the streets and the people of all kinds, but there was no special impression in his mind.

But when it comes to tradition, Lin Yu's thoughts involuntarily drifted to the strange tradition that Aglaya mentioned. A wave of doubts arose in his heart. Could there really be such a tradition?

Bai'e paced to the side, bent down and picked up a stone slab. The stone slab was square, with very smooth edges and corners, and was engraved with dense runes.

"Is this... the Proverbs Slate? It doesn't look like an old thing piled up here. It looks too new. Who left it here?"

"But I can't understand the runes on it. It's probably written in the ancient language of Xuanfeng City." Bai'e held the stone tablet in his hands, looked at it again and again, and muttered to himself.

"Let me try... maybe the synesthesia beacon will work?" Xing's eyes suddenly lit up, with some anticipation in his tone.

"What do you mean?" Bai'e looked at Xing in confusion. But seeing Xing's eagerness to try, he handed the slate over and said, "Okay, you try it."

Xing took the slate with both hands and held it carefully to his chest.

Lin Yu and San Yueqi also hurried over. The three of them put their heads close together, staring at the symbols on the stone slab.

For a moment, the room was very quiet and only the sound of soft breathing could be heard.

However, those densely packed symbols seemed to be deliberately against people, and no matter how hard they racked their brains, they could not understand their meaning.

"Ahem... I give up! I overestimated myself..." After a long while, Xing's face turned slightly red, and she returned the slate to Bai'e somewhat embarrassedly. There was a hint of loss in her eyes, and her originally high spirits dissipated in an instant.

"Don't be afraid, isn't there an expert next door? Wait until we join up with Wan Di and let him take a look." Bai E took the slate and a comforting smile appeared on his face.

"But speaking of this... I have always been wondering, you are obviously from outer space, why can you understand the writing and language of Omphalos?" Bai'e changed the subject, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face again.

"Maybe Omphalos is not so closed." Lin Yu frowned slightly and said after thinking for a moment. After all, Black Swan had said before that someone had come to Omphalos, which might explain the similarities in their language and writing.

"Could it be that Omphalos and the Outer World have more connections than people imagine? But there is no record of this in the historical documents."

"Maybe, your arrival... will overturn many things." Bai'e said.

"Let's move on. There's nothing to explore here. Oh, by the way, there's a phonograph over there. You can take it and shake it to make sounds. It's quite interesting as a collectible. Besides taking photos, maybe it can make your journey more enriched?"

When Xing heard this, he immediately became interested. He walked over quickly, bent down and gently picked up the phonograph.

It has a unique shape, resembling a conch, and the texture on its surface is barely visible in the dim light.

Xing held the phonograph with both hands and shook it vigorously a few times. In an instant, a few unclear mumblings came from inside.

Although no one understood what was said, this small object inexplicably aroused everyone's interest.

"This thing is quite interesting." Xing raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a happy smile, and then handed the phonograph to Lin Yu, "You keep it."

Lin Yu took it and put it away.

Everyone continued to move forward.

When they came to a closed door, Bai'e reached out first and pushed the door open with force.

As the door slowly opened, a stale smell blew in.

When everyone looked closely, they saw a very fat Titan's follower standing on the high platform on the right.

Its huge body almost occupied the entire platform.

Before everyone could react, the Titan's follower stretched out his strong arms and pushed the iron ball in front of him down with force.

The iron ball rolled down the platform, getting faster and faster, with an unstoppable force.

On the path, another Titan's follower who was watching everyone closely had no time to dodge and was instantly crushed by the iron ball, turning into a pile of powder.

With a loud "bang", the gate on the left was blasted open by the iron ball, but the iron ball was also stuck at the door, blocking the passage tightly.

"Want to stop us? You even want to harm your own companions. There is no honor at all." Bai'e looked at the scene in front of him, frowning, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. He snorted lightly, his tone full of contempt for the behavior of the Titan's followers.

The next moment, Bai'e flashed and rushed to the platform where the iron ball was placed.

The long sword in his hand flashed with cold light and drew an arc in the air.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the Titan's follower and swung his sword without hesitation.

With a dull sound, the Titan's follower was cut in half by Bai'e, and his body instantly turned into powder and floated in the air.

After dealing with the Titan's followers, everyone's attention fell on the iron ball blocking the passage.

"The way forward is blocked by the iron ball. Can we call upon the miracle of Oronis again?" Bai'e turned and looked at Xing.

Xing closed her eyes, concentrated, and tried to resonate with Oronis.

Her right hand trembled slightly.

However, after a long time, there was no movement.

"It seems...it's not working?" Xing slowly opened his eyes, a hint of frustration on his face.

"It's not your problem. After all, Xuanfeng City is Nicadori's territory. The harsh environment will hinder the resonance between you and Oronis." Bai'e walked forward, patted Xing on the shoulder and comforted him.

Then, he clenched the sword in his hand and said, "Forget it, just smash the iron ball."

Under the joint attack of everyone, the iron ball exploded and countless fragments flew out.

"We are very close to the 'Blade of Condemnation', be careful." Bai'e said while looking at the space behind the iron ball.

After everyone had gone around in circles, they saw a dozen Titan followers blocking their way on the platform of the stairs in front.

"That's a lot..." Xing tightened his grip on the baseball bat.

"In other words, we have a chance to surpass our enemies."

"If the records are correct, the world-famous 'Hanging Edge Arena' is right below the Edge of Retribution. The road under our feet leads either to glory or death... Of course, glory is ours, and death - is for them!" Bai'er's voice suddenly rose, and his sword pointed at the Titan's followers. His firm posture seemed to announce to the world their impending victory.

As the Titan's followers pressed forward step by step, the tension in the air grew stronger.

The first to attack was March Seventh. An ice arrow shot out like lightning, straight towards the one in the front row of the Titan's followers.

The ice arrow hit the target accurately, and a powerful cold air burst out instantly, freezing the upper body of the Titan's follower into an ice sculpture.

Its movements came to an abrupt halt, and it remained in an attacking posture, wrapped in ice.

Upon seeing this, Bai E instantly chopped the frozen followers into pieces of ice.

Then he attacked the vital points of other Titan followers. For a moment, blood splattered and he tore a hole in the encirclement of the Titan followers.

Xing aimed at a Titan's minion, rushed forward, jumped high, and smashed the Titan's minion's head with the baseball bat in her hand with tremendous force.

With a dull thud, the Titan's follower's head was smashed into a dent, and its huge body shook a few times before finally falling to the ground with a bang.

Lin Yu stood behind, and countless green branches condensed around him, winding towards the Titan's followers.

Wherever the branches went, the movements of the Titan's followers were instantly restricted. They were tightly entangled by the branches. The harder they struggled, the tighter the branches became.

Lin Yu seized the opportunity and injected destructive energy into the sword in his hand, and the sword instantly emitted a strange light.

He shouted loudly and swung his sword. The sword energy, which was filled with destructive energy, was like an invisible sharp blade, instantly cutting the followers whose movements were restricted in half.

The cut body was directly annihilated by the destructive energy, leaving only nothingness, as if it had never existed.

Lin Yu still has many abilities that he has not used. However, if he uses those special abilities within the encirclement of his followers, it would be easy to hurt his own people, so he used his abundant ability to restrict those followers.

If San Yueqi, Xing and the others were not by his side, Lin Yu would have killed those followers instantly with a single sword.

As the battle continued, the number of Titan's followers gradually decreased.

But the remaining Titan followers became more and more crazy, their attacks became more fierce, and each attack was carried out with the momentum of mutual destruction, which was of no use.

Soon, the last Titan's follower fell to the ground, and the battlefield was silent.

"It's really disappointing. There's not even a trace of Titan's scent. Did Nicardoli hide?" Bai'e frowned slightly.

"The Soul Forging Area, it's probably guarding there." In the arena below, Wan Di's voice came clearly, "The passage is behind you."

"Thank you. What about you?" Bai E responded loudly.

"I took another route, which was infested with borers."

"You do have a lot of advantages in this competition."

"Let's continue on our way. We can't let that guy get too proud. That tightly closed door may be opened with the help of the prophecy stele." Bai E said as he looked at the door in the distance.
