Chapter 351

Clues Deciphered and the Tide Turns Everyone quickly swarmed around the Black-Scaled Beast, which had been immobilized by the Mysterious Traveler’s Rune. Their gazes were like iron filings drawn to a magnet, locked tightly onto the plaque emitting an exotic glow around its neck. The Mysterious Traveler leaned down slightly, his eyes filled with intense focus and dedication like a scholar exploring ancient mysteries, studying those symbols closely. His brow was furrowed like two mountains about to collide, lost deep in contemplation. The lines of those symbols were bizarre and twisted, resembling forgotten secret codes from the river of time, exuding an archaic yet mysterious aura as if silently recounting a sealed-away history or containing some infinitely profound and obscure information. "These symbols share a definite regularity with the Runes we saw earlier in the maze and on the key," the Mysterious Traveler said slowly, extending a finger to trace the outline of the symbols in the air as he tried to capture that elusive connection. "But deciphering them is no easy task; it requires a deep mastery of ancient Runes and a stroke of serendipity." His voice was low and solemn, as if every word carried a heavy burden.
