Doomsday courtyard begins to survive by planting pea shooters

The stone steps spread downward, and the dancing firelight was unstable.

"hiss……"

Xiao Jian suddenly shuddered.

There is plenty of sunshine on the ground, and even if you are shirtless, you feel a little hot.

But when he went down to this "ancient tomb", there seemed to be a slight air flow in front of him, bringing the cold air to his face... and the surroundings of Xiao Jian suddenly became cold.

The flame of the torch was somewhat unstable due to the wind, but it was more likely a problem with the torch itself.

After all, the cloth wrapped around the torch generally acts as a wick, and the fuel that actually makes it burn is actually the oil stuck in the cloth.

If you burn it directly without oil, it will quickly burn the wood, and then turn into a smoldering fire without an open flame, similar to cigarette butts or mosquito coils.

The clothes Xiao Jian picked were made of pure cotton or chemical fiber.

Cotton materials still function as "wicks", while chemical fiber materials form flammable substances similar to grease after burning.

But after all, chemical fiber is not as easy to burn as grease, so the flame on the torch is far from stable.

Fortunately, the stone steps soon reached the end - an open hall made entirely of stone.

The entire hall seemed to have been carved out of a big stone.

In the center of the hall, there was something like a podium, and there seemed to be something on the podium.

Honeycomb-shaped tombs can be seen everywhere on the stone walls around the hall.

Almost all the tombs are empty, and there are traces of dragging and walking on the thick dust.

Xiao Jian walked around and checked all the tombs, but did not find any corpses.

Maybe the owners of these tombs have climbed up and turned into zombies that were "spawned"?

This is a very reasonable inference.

Xiao Jian is even almost certain that the zombies that are constantly "refreshed" come from here.

After Xiao Jian made sure that there was nothing but dust in the tomb, he looked at the "lectern" in the center of the stone hall.

Xiao Jian walked over slowly, walking very carefully, checking every step, and tapping the ground with a fire ax from time to time, for fear of stepping on some trap or something.

However... it didn't.

He came to the podium smoothly.

There is a book enshrined on the podium, a book with a stone cover.

Xiao Jian observed for a long time, and poked here and there with the fire ax. After confirming that there was really no mechanism, he put a piece of cloth on it and prepared to open the book...

But when Xiao Jian's fingers touched the stone cover of the book, even a layer of cloth could not stop a torrent of knowledge from pouring into his mind.

This feeling... is familiar.

Just like the first time he came into contact with the "note" that said "Live".

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Jian digested the knowledge just instilled and understood the usage of this "?? Holy Book".

The "??" here are two very special characters, not Chinese characters, and there are no words or words in Chinese characters that can correspond to their meanings.

Just like you can't describe to the ancients some abstract concepts that only appeared in the new era.

According to its function, Xiao Jian simply translated it as...for...

...Forget it, whatever it is called.

The function of this thing is a bit complicated and cannot be translated simply.

First of all, it has certain card trading functions.

Put a card on it, choose to exchange intentions, and finally sacrifice 100 or any other form of energy to the "Sacred Scripture", and then...

……wait.

Yes, just wait.

I don’t know the person I’m trading with, I don’t know what’s on the other end of the “network cable”, I don’t even know if there’s a person on the other side.

In short, if you keep waiting like this, there may be a response, and you may be able to exchange for what you want to exchange.

But the greater possibility is that there will be no response.

According to the knowledge passed on to Xiao Jian by the "?? Holy Code", the success rate of "people" who used it in the past was very low, maybe only once in ten or twenty "years".

At this time, there was already a card in the card slot in the book.

It was a resource card with various gold and silver jewels painted on it, and the intention of exchange was a "God-given Heroic Spirit" of any grade.

Based on the knowledge conveyed by the "?? Holy Scripture", this so-called "God-given heroic spirit" might mean "servant".

In other words, the previous owner of this "holy book" wanted to exchange all the gold and silver jewelry of their tribe for a servant card of any star rating.

Naturally, this deal was not reached.

But it was this unrealized exchange intention that made Xiao Jian learn something very important.

Let a tribe spend everything they have just to exchange for a servant card of even 1, and no one is willing to exchange it with them until the tribe dies...

"...Why does it feel a little precious?"

Xiao Jian couldn't believe the "knowledge" passed on to him by the "Holy Scripture".

Pea shooters, small spray mushrooms, even sunflowers and luminous mushrooms are all servants of 1.

Can’t you exchange so much gold and silver jewelry for even one [Glow-in-the-Dark Mushroom]?

"call……"

The sparks on the torch flickered brightly and dimly, and the original open flame had a somewhat unstable tendency.

It seems that those chemical fiber materials are almost burned.

Xiao Jian walked around the "ancient tomb" again, and after making sure that there was nothing else, he pinned the fire ax to his waistband, holding the "Holy Scripture" as heavy as a slate in his hand, facing the stone chamber hall, and slowly He returned to the stone stairs, and finally stepped on the stone stairs and returned to the ground.

"call……"

Xiao Jian breathed a sigh of relief when he returned to the ground, immediately threw away the extinguished torch, and returned to the plants holding the slate-like "Holy Scripture" in his hands.

Xiao Jian sat cross-legged, with only two pages of the stone "Sacred Scripture" spread out in front of him.

On the left page of the "Sacred Scripture", there is a rectangular shallow slot, which can just fit a card.

What was stuck in it at this time was the resource card with various gold, silver and jewelry painted on it.

The right page of the "Sacred Scripture" is full of messy symbols...

Maybe these were the words of the original owner of the "Holy Code", but the knowledge it passed on to Xiao Jian did not include "letter recognition", so he didn't know what was written on it.

After studying for a long time, Xiao Jian finally decided to try it out.

He clasped the button with his fingers and gently pulled down the useless resource card... He only felt a small amount of resistance during the process, which was similar to pulling down a bottle opener with a magnet from the refrigerator door. almost.

And the moment the resource card came out of the card slot on the "left page", the symbols that looked like text on the "right page" immediately disappeared and turned into a blank.

Then, Xiao Jian put back the resource card with gold, silver and jewelry painted on it, and suddenly felt a bit of resistance.

"Hmm...need to sacrifice 100?"

Xiao Jian said nothing and chose to sacrifice.

Subsequently, his sunshine value was reduced by 100 points, and the card was successfully embedded into the card slot on the "left page".

"Then...make a request?"

Xiao Jian thought for a while, using the knowledge passed on to him by the "Sacred Scripture". While thinking about "salt", he touched the blank "right page" with his right hand.

Then, the word "salt" appeared on the "right page" of the holy book.

Huh?

Chinese character?
