Chapter 2093: Chapter 2094: Method to Enter the Hidden Room

After leaving the range of the Star Pond Ruins, Angel used the Shapeshifting Technique again and transformed into the appearance of a redhead.

Throughout the journey, the Tree Spirit several times wanted to ask Angel about what he had experienced in the ruins, but in the end, he suppressed his curiosity and said nothing, only observing the strange item that had appeared on Angel — the Mushroom Pendant, studying it all the way back to Angel’s residence at the ruins.

When he pushed open the door to the ruins, Angel deliberately glanced at the Magical Energy Array behind the door before stepping into the dark corridor.

This scene was caught by Sanders and the Tree Spirit. Their eyes flickered for a moment, both thinking of one thing: the only path for Angel to exit the ruins must pass through that door; so had Angel seen the situation behind the Star Pond Ruins’ door?

The answer was very likely affirmative.

The Tree Spirit was inherently a curious person, and regarding the hidden room in these ruins, he was even more invested than Angel from a gossip perspective. He had held back for a long time during the return journey, and as soon as Angel returned to the study, he immediately voiced his doubts.

Sanders also turned his curious gaze to Angel.

”The magic pattern behind the door, huh? Since I’m coming out from the ruins, naturally I’ve seen it. However, that Magical Energy Array is also broken to a great extent, almost disconnected from the entire defense system of the ruins. Fixing it is very difficult. Even for me, it took a whole night of effort to barely succeed in repairing it.” Angel inadvertently revealed his achievements, subtly expressing that his magic pattern repair skills were getting stronger.

However, Sanders and the Tree Spirit’s focus was not on Angel’s skill in magic pattern repair.

Tree Spirit: ”You mean, there’s really a Magical Energy Array behind the door? And it’s similar to the one in your ruins?”

The Tree Spirit was surprised that the two ruins really had something in common.

Sanders was focused on the time: ”You spent an entire night repairing it? Which means, you actually left the center of the ruins early and were near the door?”

Angel nodded: ”Around noon yesterday, I reached the door of the ruins. Then I exerted a lot of effort to successfully repair the magic pattern.”

Sanders squinted his eyes: ”I thought you were trapped in the ruins, so you didn’t have time to communicate.”

Though Sanders’ voice was calm, Angel faintly felt a chill seeping into his backbone, slowly creeping into his scalp, a cold sweat and tingling sensation.

Angel awkwardly tugged at the corners of his mouth: ”I didn’t expect it to take so long, so I forgot.”

Sanders quietly looked at Angel, after a long while, he sighed inwardly. He had been genuinely worried that Angel was in trouble, but in the end, this kid was carefree. However, being able to return safely is ultimately a good thing.

Feeling the air pressure around him slightly ease, Angel promptly shifted the topic to the Tree Spirit: ”The Tree Spirit is right, there is indeed a Magical Energy Array behind the door below the Star Pond Ruins, with similar independent magic patterns.”

”So, the builders of these two ruins really could be the same person?” The Tree Spirit murmured softly, then pursued Angel further: ”Since there are independent magic patterns, that means there’s a map on them?”

Angel nodded: ”After repairing, I did see a map, but this map is actually of little use.”

Tree Spirit: ”Of no use? Why?”

”The interior of that ruin has long expanded many times over, completely deviating from its original form. So, purely from the perspective of the map, it’s hardly useful.”

Angel’s explanation reminded Sanders of something.

”You communicated earlier that upon entering the ruins, you appeared in a mushroom forest. Is the mushroom forest part of the original space of the ruins?” Sanders asked, then glanced at the mushroom decorations on Angel, speculating whether these mushrooms were brought out by Angel from the mushroom forest.

After hearing Sanders’ question, Angel secretly glanced at the Tree Spirit, seeing no expression from the latter. He secretly mused, did Sanders actually disclose their communications, and how would he explain the fact that they could communicate?

Though Angel had doubts, he did not immediately inquire, instead, replying: ”It’s not the original space; the true name of the mushroom forest is Duling Garden, which comes from the Nightmare Realm.”

A hint of astonishment flashed in Sanders’ eyes, the truth far exceeded his expectations. He thought the so-called expansion of the ruins was achieved by spatial materials extending a certain range, but didn’t expect it to directly pull a garden from the Nightmare Realm?!

After a long while, Sanders spoke in a low, hoarse voice: ”Back to the map, you said the map in that ruin is of no use, does that mean you got nothing?”

In fact, Sanders wanted to continue inquiring about Duling Garden, but he restrained himself. Regarding the real situation inside the ruins, he decided to wait for Lord Rhein’s arrival before discussing further.

Angel shook his head: ”It’s not entirely in vain; I also saw on the map from that ruin a hidden room. The information beside the holographic map detailed the method of entering the hidden room.”

”— by activating a Magical Energy Array to enter the hidden room.”

”Although the map didn’t show the specific patterns of the Magical Energy Array, it did specify that this Magical Energy Array uses the Wenluns Sequence Method and Bailuoka Encryption.”

Angel’s words instantly piqued the Tree Spirit’s curiosity: ”You mean...”

Angel nodded, taking the Knight armor previously found in the corridor from a side of the study, on which there was a line of extremely damaged magic patterns.

”If my guess is correct, these damaged magic patterns are the Magical Energy Array used to activate the hidden room. I thought about repairing it earlier but eventually gave up because it was too fragmented. To try innumerable Magic Tattoo Horns within it, the repair difficulty is very high.”

”But if this Magical Energy Array and the one recorded in the Star Pond Ruins are the same, both using the Wenluns Sequence Method and Bailuoka Encryption, then deciphering it becomes much simpler.”

The Wenluns Sequence Method is an orderly magic pattern sequence that begins with nothing and ends with existence.

The Bailuoka Encryption is a special encryption method for hiding the Wenluns Sequence Method.

If according to Angel’s speculation, the damaged magic patterns on the Knight’s armor adhere to the Wenluns Sequence Method, then cracking it shifts from ’disordered’ to ’ordered.’ With a basis to follow and evidence to obtain, the cracking difficulty descends from the top of the pyramid directly to the base of the pyramid.

Of course, the premise is to first break the Bailuoka Encryption.

”If my guess is correct, at most, in a week, I will be able to crack the magic patterns on the armor!”
