Chapter 191 Huge Achievements Hit Jia Xiu's Face

Chapter 191 Huge Achievements Hit Jia Xiu's Face
Jia Xiu and his group stood before the gate covered with magical runes, not daring to make any rash moves.

The great discovery Ram made was indeed a remarkable one.

Complex spells began to run on the heavy door, and the massive magical fluctuations far exceeded those of a dimensional portal.

However, it doesn't surpass the upper limit of ninth-ring spells in terms of a single strength, but rather it stacks together a bunch of spells with strengths roughly equivalent to eighth or ninth rings.

If a single spell exceeds the ninth ring limit, then regardless of what's hidden behind the door, the spell on that door itself is a major discovery.

The Radiant Knight, who was being swept around by the spells, asked with slight nervousness, "Can you figure out what kind of spell this is?"

Without knowing the effects of the spell, it's best not to act rashly.

Although she was the strongest in terms of raw power, she mainly relied on numerical values, and her knowledge of magic was relatively limited.

"Uh, it's too complicated. I don't understand it yet," Jia Xiu replied from a distance, but he felt that even standing far away wouldn't be safe against such a large-scale spell.

This looks like it has a much greater range and damage output than the spells designed to "recycle" vampires at the entrance of Anka's Gate.

He possessed magical knowledge, but due to limitations in numerical values, the converted code was incomplete, with many parts being blurry or even simply gibberish.

"How long will it take you?"

The Radiant Knight thought that Jashu just needed a little more time to analyze the function of the spell.

"About three to five years?"

"Are you serious?! You're joking at a time like this?"

“I’m not kidding. I guess I’ll have to study for a few more years,” Jia Xiu replied seriously. He estimated that in a few more years, he should be able to upgrade to the level of intelligence to understand these things. “Don’t be so nervous. Didn’t you say that even if you die in this plane, you can be resurrected?”

Jaxiu still remembers the "bold words" spoken by the Radiant Knight before he first entered the door.

"It's true that you can be resurrected, but it still hurts when you get hit. It's definitely better to stay alive if you can avoid dying."

As a demigod, the Radiant Knight is much more normal than those long-lived beings who have mental problems, enjoy self-harm, and use pain to remind themselves that they are still alive.

She's also afraid of pain.

Even a bunch of spells with a ninth-level strength would be a deadly threat to her.

If you want to resist it head-on, you definitely can't do it with your own strength. If you rely on the power brought by divine authority, then the level of divine authority would have to be raised a lot, and even a lesser god would have a hard time.

After realizing that Jia Xiu had no good solution, she demonstrated the responsibility expected of a deity.

"If you have no clue, you should leave quickly. I will try to take over this spell here. Whether I succeed or fail, I will tell you the specific effects later."

Hearing her say that, Jia Xiu and the others didn't delay and turned to leave.

If you run too slowly, you might not be able to run at all.

Bubu was still a little reluctant.

"Boss, does what we're doing count as abandoning our comrades?"

"The premise of not abandoning our companions is that we must first have that ability; otherwise, it's just creating extra trouble."

Jia Xiu grabbed Bubu and ran.

As they were being dragged away, they glanced one last time in Justina's direction.

It's fine if you don't look, but at first glance, you'll find that the magic on the door seems to have entered the next stage.

Although Jashu couldn't see all the spell codes, the part that was shining on Justina at this stage had the complete code.

"and many more!"

Jia Xiu suddenly shouted.

Everyone looked at him.

"The part of this spell that was applied to the Radiant Knight seems to be used to determine race."

After looking at it for a few seconds, Jia Xiu roughly figured out the function of this part of the spell.

That's why he kept scanning Justina.

Unlike common treasure-guarding trap spells, this one doesn't directly attack anyone who gets close.

As for the subsequent reactions corresponding to the determined results.

Jia Xiu boldly leaned closer and examined it carefully.

"The spell determines whether it's an elemental tentacle first. I guess if it's determined to be an elemental tentacle, then it's considered 'one of our own,' and we can open the door directly."

"Isn't that right?"

Justina pressed for an answer.

She definitely rejected this step. As a human who had risen to become a demigod, it would be difficult to find any racial common ground with the elemental tentacles.

Let alone kingdoms, phyla, class, and order, these elemental tentacles don't even look like carbon-based life forms.

"Uh, if not, we should start determining whether the target is a demon."

"Does it really take this long to determine that I am not a demon?"

Upon learning that this was not an offensive spell, Justina relaxed slightly.

"Perhaps...perhaps it's because the elemental tentacles have never seen a human before, and this spell doesn't understand what you are right now."

"..." Justina was speechless, and after a long pause, she said, "This kind of race's magic doesn't work either. Isn't there a record of situations that I don't understand? Can I leave now?"

"Wait a minute. They actually have a record of the unknown races. At this moment, they are checking for demonic characteristics, or checking each one individually, including whether they have signed a contract with a demon. As long as one of them matches, it will trigger the... elimination process. That's how it is."

Jia Xiu explained in a very fast-paced manner.

It's completely understandable what the elemental tentacles did. After all, they have a deep-seated hatred for the demon race, and they can't let go of anything related to the demon race.

The Natiflin, and the sorcerers with demonic bloodline power, seem to be within the scope of the attack as well.

Not everyone can stand in front of this door.

He turned around and asked, "Does anyone here have any connection with the demons? If not, come closer and check. This spell seems to open the door after detecting that all living things nearby are not related to the demons."

"Boss," Ram said, raising his hand, "Ram..."

"Huh? Ram, you have connections with demons? You must be mistaken, ogres aren't demons."

"No, Ram thinks that the only person here who might be related to the demons is the sect leader of our boss."

"..."

Don't say it, really don't say it.

It's not entirely impossible.

But he had already moved closer.

However, if the sect leader is truly related to the demon race, this spell should not be able to detect it.

How can a contract for writing a thesis be a contract with demons?

"It's alright, Sect Master is fine. Come on over, let's open the door together."

Since Jia Xiu had said so, everyone lined up in front of the door.

These people are all driven more by curiosity and a thirst for knowledge than by fear. As long as they are not certain to die, it is worth a try.

While waiting for the test in front of the door, Jia Xiu began to understand.

Behind this door, there might be relics left to this world by the elemental tentacle race.

Perhaps when they were sealing it away, they already realized that their tribe was destined to be extinct, so they sealed everything they wanted to keep in the safest place, waiting for someone destined to find it.

No, and it may not necessarily be a "person" with whom one has a destiny.

It seems that as long as it's not related to the demon race, any species can be chosen based on affinity.

However, the elemental tentacles did not expect that the species standing in front of the door was somehow related to the demon race.

Humans with demon blood, who have signed contracts with demons, or even worship demons, are not the majority, but they are not a small number either.

Perhaps they cannot understand actions that directly link them to their mortal enemies for the sake of immediate gains.

So, it seems that there is no such thing as "hand rape" among the elemental tentacle race.

The testing process did not last long.

The magic on the door is very sophisticated, and it also has the ability to remember. After checking the previous one, it will remember some characteristics, and if they match the next one, it can speed up the judgment.

Although Jia Xiu and the others have mixed bloodlines, apart from Bu Bu, they all fall into the broad category of humanoid species.

The gap is much smaller than the distance between people and elements.

Therefore, after scanning Justina, the rest of the process was relatively smooth, except for a short pause on Bubu.

A dozen minutes later, the sound of heavy metal being moved could be heard.

A rumbling sound echoed through the tower, shaking the floorboards, and dust accumulated over countless years fell like snow. Everyone stared intently into the doorway, trying to see what the elemental tentacle race was so painstakingly preserving.

However, what first caught everyone's attention was not what was inside the door, but what was on the inside of the door.

It is a spell matrix similar to outer spells, but larger in scale and more numerous.

Why are they doing this towards the inside of the door?

Gillianis was puzzled.

Even though it was sealed away by itself, it still sets up a more powerful destructive spell inside the door than outside.

What is the picture?

A trap? It looks like a treasure trove, but it's actually a giant mimicry.

Jia Xiu hesitated for a moment before replying, "I understand. The so-called cleanup process is not about eliminating the demons outside, but about eliminating what's inside. If the demons find this place and the worst-case scenario occurs, it's better to destroy it than leave it for the demons. No matter how good the defenses are, they can still be breached, so only destruction can ensure absolute safety."

"But does the destruction really need to be on such a large scale?"

"They're probably afraid that if it wasn't completely destroyed, the demons might use some means to restore it."

Just as some spells can revive people, there are also many spells that can restore damaged objects.

Similarly, the difficulty of casting spells increases with the degree of damage.

Therefore, to destroy something to the point of being completely irreparable, an extremely large-scale spell is indeed required.

"They really don't want the legacy to be taken by the demons."

With a sigh, Jia Xiu was the first to step inside.

The contents inside were not quite what I had expected.

There are no wondrous magical creations, no rare treasures, and no powerful legendary items.

There were only books, many books, neatly stacked.

"Why...do they keep so many books?"

Mia was a little confused and disappointed. Her first thought was that the things here weren't very valuable.

After all, there are quite a few books downstairs, but they are mostly lab reports and academic papers.

Jia Xiu picked up the first book from the bookshelf closest to the door.

Upon opening it, what comes into view is a character used in the elemental tentacle language: "Anka".

Next to the characters is an illustration, depicting an element's tentacles.

So Anka is actually what the elemental tentacle race calls themselves.

The next page also contains text and images.

The text was accompanied by a picture of a rock.

Scroll down further, and you'll find the same format.

Jia Xiu flipped through several books in succession, and the first bookshelf was full of similar things.

"What's this, boss?"

Mia didn't understand what this meant.

“These dictionaries are all special,” Jia Xiu explained. “They left their own language behind. Because they didn’t know what language the creatures that discovered them used, they couldn’t write dictionaries by explaining language with language. They could only write them by adding pictures.”

"So, with this, we can create spell language packs for this language in the future?"

Gillianice said.

"Yes, thankfully it was a sighted race that opened the door, otherwise their efforts would have been in vain."

Jashu is now certain that this is the legacy left behind by the elemental tentacles, or rather, by the Anka clan.

The heritage belonging to their civilization.

Jia Xiu walked to the second bookshelf, pulled it out, and opened it.

"This is history."

It's reasonable to teach characters first, then history.

Keep walking, "This is art history..."

"This is music history..."

"This is a biological atlas..."

"This is mathematical logic..."

"This looks like a novel. They read novels too. This is a poem, and this shelf of books is literature..."

Jia Xiu flipped through bookshelves one after another, as if browsing the epitaphs of a race.

When faced with the final moment of life and death, they chose to leave behind proof that this civilization had ever existed.

The simple and common wish to leave something behind before death remains universal across the entire civilization.

The achievements of countless heroes, leaders, artists, and scientists of the Anka tribe, the culmination of their life's work, have been transformed into cold words, stored in a space of several hundred square meters, waiting to be discovered.

To be precise, it awaits discovery by intelligent beings who are not demons.

Between leaving behind a final legacy that was inherited by the demons, and being completely forgotten, they chose the latter.

Although the Anka people appear to be boneless based on their physical appearance, they are indeed a race with great "backbone".

We arrived at the last bookshelf.

Jia Xiu randomly picked out a book and opened it.

"Magic and elements..."

I understand. These books contain the Anka clan's complete understanding of magic, recorded from the most basic and fundamental levels.

The experimental reports downstairs also reveal the characteristics of this race's magic, but you can't fully understand their magic just by relying on the experimental reports.

Now we know where all those high-research-value tips come from.

Even if the fundamental principles of a race's magical knowledge are the same as those of human magic, there will certainly be many differences in the details of its development.

That's probably enough to fill a lifetime of papers.

"Is there any way we can take all of these with us?"

Big Yellow didn't come in, and even if it did, it wouldn't fit.

"I have enough space props."

Gillianice said.

"Great! Let's pack it up and take it with us right away."

Jia Xiu immediately prepared to take action.

However, there was something else in this library that piqued his curiosity.

Inside, the wall is as smooth as a mirror, unlike the other surfaces.

I stared at it for a few seconds, but couldn't figure it out. Just as I was about to go back to move the books, a line of text appeared on the wall.

Do you know about the demon race?

"know."
