Chapter 279 Chessboard World (3)

In the reflection of the potion in the basin, Alyssa Kamiyu, Tanis and Dorothy walked into the house where the trees grew, while the other three stayed outside, in addition to acting as positions to release the air, and prevented any traps in the house from catching them all in one go.

Finally, the Eye of the Mage entered the dim room with Alisa and the others.

"Can't we change the perspective in this basin..." Fitt walked around the basin twice, but still couldn't find the so-called appropriate perspective.

"I don't mind finding perspectives, but if you can, can you not pass through me? It feels so slick..."

Sivi glanced at the anxious ghost girl.

Generally speaking, if a ghost passes through the body of an ordinary person, it will make people feel cold, and because it takes away a certain degree of vitality, it will make ordinary people sick.

However, once Fitt carries sacred magic, and Sivy is not an ordinary person, so apart from psychological discomfort, Sivy has no other feeling when she is worn by Fitt.

"This is a manifestation of curiosity. As the saying goes, "curiosity will kill the Nine-tailed Cats"!" Fette defended dissatisfiedly.

"That proverb is to warn people not to be curious about strange things, and aren't you dead..."

Sivi responded angrily: "Stop playing, see what they found."

Although it seemed like I wanted to say something, Alisha and the others in the reflection did find something in the room, so the ghost girl also shut her mouth and floated over Sivy's head, looking into the basin at the same angle as him.

In the reflection, the little guys seemed to be saying something, but the Eye of the Mage did not have the effect of receiving the sound, so Xiwei could not know what they were talking about.

Then the perspective slowly opened, and the things in the room were also revealed in front of Sivi and Fitt.

It was a wooden platform and a branch.

There are some Xiumen Chinese characters on the wooden platform that seem to be carved with sharp tools, and a golden star fruit grows on the branches.

Xiwei and Fite both put their faces close to the surface of the potion liquid. Fortunately, the magician who controlled the Eye of the Master in the Seven Stars Mage Tower seemed to want to see the text on the wooden platform clearly, so the picture suddenly moved closer.

"'Pick up the Venus that is prone to withering, find the savage head and pimple face that is closest to you, pull out the last hair of the bald man among them, and trade Venus for the treasure in the bald man's pocket. It doesn't matter if you fail once, Venus will appear before success.'... What mess is this?"

After seeing the words clearly, Fitt's mouth twitched: "What kind of scabies, head, bumps, face, I don't know at all!"

"This should be the 'mystery' mentioned in the rules." Xiwei touched his chin with interest: "At present, it seems to be a guessing riddle, and it is a very simple guessing riddle."

"Do you already know the answer?"

The ghost girl with two ponytails turned her face and stared at Sivi incredibly.

"Well, I'm still quite good at this kind of thing." Sivi smiled slightly: "This is not difficult at all, it depends on whether Alisha and the others want to get the key point."

——Chessboard World? House of Urinal Wood—

"What kind of mess is this?" Dorothy said with a black head, "What kind of scabies, head, bumpy face, it's totally unknown! (A ghost sneezes)"

"It should be the so-called mystery."

Kamiyu carefully observed the words, as if he wanted to find some new clues from them.

"Whether a scaly head or a scaly face, you have to find a person first." Tennis thought for a while and said, "The meaning of the prompt 'Find the scaly head and a scaly face closest to you' should be to let us go to the nearest town, right?"

"If it is really just explained literally, then after that we have to pull out the last hair from the bald man's head..." Alisa frowned and instinctively felt something was wrong: "I always feel that this kind of thing should not be explained literally."

After the discussion was unsuccessful, they decided to let the few people who were venting outside come in to participate in the discussion. Anyway, they could be sure that there was nothing wrong with the room.

"Teo, can you keep alert?" Alisa asked on the safe side.

"If the distance is not big, no problem."

The little girl touched the cat's ear on her head, blinked her yellow eyes, and said with great confidence.

After ensuring safety issues, they once again began to brainstorm the words carved on the wooden table.

"The only thing that is certain now is that the 'Vincent' inside refers to this thing." Kamiyu pointed to the star fruit in his hand: "In addition, the treasure should refer to the badge of freedom."

Although the code word is easily withered, it is also pointed out that even if it withered, as long as the code word is not untied and the badge as the treasure has not been taken away, the star fruit will still grow again, so he took it off without hesitation.

"The nearest town grid is five. It will take about six hours to get there now. Even if you use a flying broom, it will take about two hours to go with a good wind. What's more, those monsters flying in the sky will not let us pass easily... No matter what, the code words specifically point out that the fruit that is 'easy withering' cannot support that long, right?"

After getting the board map from Teo, Alyssa's brows never let go. She made deductions over and over again, but could only draw the same conclusion.

"In other words, the code word does not mean that we are going to town?" Tennis also became distressed, which made the fat on his face squeeze together, looking a little funny, but no one has the heart to pay attention to this point now.

"Does there be specialized scaly head, tummy face and bald guy stay nearby and wait for us to complete this task?"

"Apart from the rescuers, public enemies and us candidates, there should be no other talent in the wild." Alisa shook her head and denied the fat man's guess.

For the next period of time, everyone expressed their opinions, but they were found one by one and were negated. Then the wooden house fell into a strange state of silence.

After a while of silence, Alisa seemed to have made a difficult decision: "It's been almost an hour. If it really doesn't work, we can only give up this mystery and continue to move towards the end."

As if to echo her words, the star fruit suddenly made a sizzling sound, as if all the moisture inside disappeared in an instant. Under the gaze of everyone, it wrinkled and contracted into a small ball of only the size of a fingernail, and then turned into black and white ashes, scattered on the wooden platform.

At the same time, on the bare branch, a star fruit that was exactly the same as the speed of release on the TV was not even transmitted to pollen, and it was extremely unscientifically completed the entire process of flowering and fruiting in a few seconds.

At this time, Tio, who had been silent since he had to remain alert, suddenly spoke.

"Alisha, do you still remember the riddle that the teacher said before?"

"What?" Because the little girl said too suddenly, Alyssa couldn't react and asked in a daze.

"It's the one with 'what legs in the morning, 2 legs in the afternoon, and 3 legs in the evening'." Teo said briefly.

"Oh, the answer is 'humanoid creatures', right?" (Because there are not only humans in this world, Svi changed the answer to the riddle, 'human', to 'humanoid'...)

Alisa came to her senses: "That riddle word... huh?"

In that riddle, morning represents the infancy of crawling, noon represents the youthful and middle-aged age of walking on both feet, and evening represents the old age of crutches, not the morning, noon and evening literally explained.

So why do we have to literally understand scaly head, pimple face and baldness?

And that fruit also brings an important tip - the place you want to go must be able to arrive within an hour!

In this way, the entire range can be narrowed to a certain extent. Then use those three words to make up...

Thinking of this, Alisa once again turned her attention to the map.

"I know the answer!"

Everyone looked at Alyssa. The girl pointed her finger at a point on the map...

——Welcome the hotel—

"Huh? Why did Alyssa point to the desert Grey on the right side of the forest where they are?" Fitt asked inexplicably.

"Because Alisa has already thought of the answer."

Sivi smiled and explained to Fite: "'Lai Li Head' actually refers to the Gobi grid with only some sparse shrubs, and the 'pimple face' refers to the wind-eroded zone grid where many stone pillars are eroded by wind and water."

As he said that, he pointed to the huge chess board map in the sky outside the window: "'The bald man among them' is a barren land between these two grids, with nothing, desert grid."

"What does 'pull out the bald man's last hair' mean?" Fette asked again.

"Maybe there are oasis and the like in that desert. In short, you should know what to do next when you get there and how to find the badge."

"Don't you think it's a bit too far-fetched?" The ghost girl probably felt dissatisfied with her completely unexpected situation, and pouted and complained.

"Based on the speed of the rotten star fruit, this should be the most reliable inference. Because I could see the map as soon as I looked up, I had this kind of guess when I saw this code word, and that star fruit made me determine my answer, that's all."
