Chapter 564: Fault Space
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Now that they had lighting tools, it was easy to deal with.
Although the scope of the lighting was not very large, it could basically solve the problem of being blind.
Only then did everyone realize that the space they were in seemed to be a place with two asymmetrical sides.
On the left was a high mountain that stretched as far as the eye could see, and on the other side was the invincible abyss.
It was like a fault, and the few of them were right in the middle of it.
James let out a long breath. Thankfully, he had found a lighting tool. If they were to advance in the dark, it was very likely that they would fall into the abyss.
Klein opened the map of the entire space and discovered that it was indeed a canyon abyss with a fault.
The bottom was bottomless, and there shouldn’t be anything to explore. If a person were to accidentally fall in, it would probably be death.
They had been exploring the rock wall on the left all this while.
This rock wall occupied almost half of the space. In fact, the area that could be moved was very small.
Klein reached out and touched his nose. He felt that this place was still a little strange,
What kind of geological structure could cause this space to become three different heights?
James pointed at the door in front of him.
“That’s right, it’s this place. There are indeed traces of man-made construction. I wonder what’s behind the door of passage…”
The three of them walked up to the door and realized that it was a metal door that was tightly sewn together.
There were very strange carvings on the door.
Klein stretched out his hand and pushed the door, but it didn’t budge.
Gray frowned slightly. “I have a feeling that this door cannot be opened with human strength. Are there any buttons or mechanisms around that can activate this door?”
But looking around, it was desolate. Other than the oddly shaped rocks, there was nothing else.
At that moment, Klein realized that it was a relief sculpture on the door. It was actually loose and could even move!
Klein’s heart stirred. He took the amulet and took two steps back. He raised the bottle high so that he could see the door in its entirety.
It wasn’t very clear under the lack of light, but looking at the whole picture, he realized that the door was actually a jigsaw puzzle!
Jigsaw puzzles were something that everyone loved to play when they were young. Usually, a game would consist of dozens to twenty pieces.
The original picture was completely broken into many squares, and the method of moving one square after another was used to restore the original image.
And the door in front of him was the entire jigsaw puzzle.
James’ eyes lit up, and he touched the relief sculptures with his hand.
“That’s right, it’s indeed a jigsaw puzzle. Who is the one who built this place? He actually used this method to tease us?”
Gray shook his head slightly. “The person who wanted to build this door didn’t want to use this method to play games with people. I think this thing is definitely not easy to put together!”
First of all, they didn’t know what the original shape of the picture was.
Secondly, this was originally a stone sculpture without any color, or even a pattern to speak of.
But when they didn’t know the original shape of the jigsaw puzzle, it was basically impossible to put together the original shape.
Furthermore, there were more than thirty squares on the door. Even experts who liked to play the game wouldn’t be able to restore it back to its original form quickly.
But in the current situation, as long as the puzzle was completed, the door would open.
Klein handed the bottle in his hand to James.
“How about this? I’ll give it a try. The two of you light up for me. In any case, it won’t be any worse than the current situation!”
James knew that Klein had always been smart. Such a game definitely wouldn’t be difficult for him. He reached out and patted Klein on the shoulder.
“I believe you! Refuel!”
After receiving the other party’s encouragement, Klein felt some pressure instead.
Of course, he knew how capable he was. He could only give it a try in such a jigsaw puzzle game.
Furthermore, such a game couldn’t be played overnight. It was possible even if he played it for a month or two.
The innocent girl who had been captured and killed at that time would have been killed long ago. There was no time to waste.
Klein began to focus on the jigsaw puzzle. He realized that the jigsaw puzzle made of stones seemed to be a little more complicated than he had imagined.
This was because not all the paths were passable. Sometimes, when the path was stuck, it proved that his previous calculations were wrong.
He tried a few times, but he still couldn’t find anything.
Sweat dripped down Klein’s forehead as he sighed softly. He sat on a rock to the side and prepared to rest for a few minutes.
Klein looked at Gray and said, “Gray, help me take a look. I have a feeling that I’ve never seen this pattern before. I think you’re older and more knowledgeable, so you should know it?”
Gray blinked his eyes. He had been pondering over the meaning of the puzzle from the beginning, but he still couldn’t get the gist of it.
Gray thought for a moment before saying, “I can only give a constructive suggestion. I feel that this pattern should be a flower, but I’m not too sure what kind of flower it is…”
Just as Gray had guessed, he discovered that there were indeed a few petals, or even leaves, carved on some of the relief sculptures.
However, Klein realized that it wasn’t correct to reassemble them according to the shape of a typical flower.
At this moment, Klein’s heart stirred as he accepted Gray’s suggestion.
He suddenly recalled a rumor he had heard previously, saying that there was an Undying Flower in the world.
This flower was also the final ingredient of the Immortal Divine Medicine.
Klein didn’t have any deep obsession with the Immortal Divine Medicine.
However, fate seemed to have arranged everything clearly for him. Recently, Klein had basically obtained all the raw materials for the Immortal Divine Medicine.
He had even prepared the catalyst for the medicine. The only thing that was missing was the legendary Undying Flower.
It was said that this flower was shaped like a rose. Its entire body was pitch-black, and it looked abnormally strange.
Therefore, very few people cultivated it. Furthermore, it was considered a very precious species that lived in cold and humid places at night.
As time passed, there were only three Undying Flowers left in the world. Many people had never seen them before and had only heard of them.
Upon hearing Gray’s reminder, Klein snapped his fingers in his heart and quickly stood up from the rock.
‘That’s right, this should be the legendary Undying Flower!’
The reason why he couldn’t be created using ordinary methods was that the flower actually grew upside down!
James blinked his eyes and felt that it was the first time he had heard of a flower that grew upside down.
Could it be that the leaves grew on top and the flowers grew down below?
Klein stretched out a finger and shook it.
“That’s not accurate. What’s accurate is that the roots grow on top and the entire flower is upside down.”
After Klein’s narration, James finally understood.
In other words, the Undying Flower actually grew in the soil.
