Chapter 855: Chapter 591 Han Characters? They are Runes!_2

Gou Ge’s mood was not great, but he knew that he couldn’t possibly do anything alone against a seemingly top-tier boss. Just surviving and getting back was a victory.

Once again riding the skeletal arm to cross the abyss, Gou Ge quickly left the tent space.

Outside, soldiers wearing red armor were waiting for him, and behind them was a large box, which must have just been moved here.

Opening the box, he found some grotesque materials inside.

There were blood-red eyeballs with worms crawling in and out, severed fingers with sharp long nails and skin like an old tree, normal-looking teeth that were actually twisted into spirals at the roots, ears wrapped in red fungal threads...

All kinds of bizarre things filled the box, continuing their activities as if they had never died.

"Is this my reward?"

Not considering the appearance, just looking at the value and rarity of these items, they did seem quite... precious.

Naturally, no one answered.

He hugged the box and had to leave the Third Tower Stone Pillar under their urging.

"Brothers, how’s it going on your side?" Gou Ge quickly asked his teammates in a private chat.

Suddenly, a line of text popped out.

[Your soul communication has caught the attention of ’Jaw Bone’. The other party might be trying to listen to your soul whispers; it’s best to stop now, this is definitely not a good choice]

Everyone immediately stopped the private chat, not daring to try again.

"Damn, private chats are monitored by NPCs? Might there be NPCs who can directly chat with us in the future." Gou Ge complained, but it wasn’t without a response strategy.

Risking a sentence: "Start the live stream!"

Even if NPCs found out, they wouldn’t be afraid, unless the NPCs also knew how to watch live streams, then they’d have the upper hand.

The four started live streaming, displaying scenes other than their own.

Since the other party could eavesdrop on private chats, speaking was also unsafe.

"Actually, it’s not too bad over here."

Gou Ge kept an eye on the live streams of the other three, just in time to see Qiuyue pulling out a pen to write.

Sure enough, there’s always a way out of difficulties. Feeling relieved, Gou Ge neither spoke nor moved, fearing that Jaw Bone Lord would notice his small actions.

"We’re being held separately. They’re trying to detect our magic power and have confiscated all our equipment! If we don’t get our equipment and space bags back, I might delete my account and start over."

"Damn, they took the paper we’re writing on."

In the live stream:

Assist’s paper was confiscated, but the other party didn’t leave directly. Instead, holding the paper, they pointed to the writing: "What does it say?"

"Rune!" 21 Assist reacted quickly, "It’s used to help me contact my companions."

It’s normal that he couldn’t understand because it was Chinese characters. The indigenous people, without system translation abilities, couldn’t understand the profound and seemingly scholarly characters, only finding them very peculiar.

"Companions?"

"Although we accidentally ended up here, we’ve never given up on finding a way out." 21 Assist started fabricating without any hesitation, "If you let us write the runes, we’ll be able to contact our companions. You’d better let us go, or my companions will come and wipe you out."

"Let your companions come." The other party’s voice still devoid of emotion, they tossed the paper back to 21 Assist.

"..."

Come? How to come? They had bugged their way in with difficulty. Though the task indicated that entering here was now legal, bringing in more people was tough.

Assist had no choice but to write another line of Chinese characters.

"Just like this? How do you read it?"

"A Piercing Cloud Arrow brings thousands of soldiers to meet." (Note: The system smartly didn’t translate this, making him say it in Mandarin.)

In the opponent’s ears, it became an utterly incomprehensible spell.

"Bang!" The other party grabbed 21 Assist by the neck, "Don’t play tricks, Wizard!"

"Cough cough, of course not."

Thankfully, it was just a scare.

In their view, the trick was successful. Using Chinese characters as runes and Mandarin as a spell, they managed to fool the soldier sent by Lord Jaw Bone.

"Is this the power of your Material Plane?"

"Of course!"

Assist suddenly stood tall, looking very proud.

"As long as you keep us alive, we will fully cooperate with you."

Speaking in the most proud tone while begging for mercy.

The other party seemed surprised by such shamelessness from the Material Plane residents. Usually, those caught needed to be threatened first before shivering and cooperating, but these three appeared to be in a rush.

"Show me your magic!"

"This is a Cursed Land." Qiuyue spoke up, "We have no magic power at all; the air environment doesn’t allow it."

"Alright!"

The other party was very agreeable, likely thinking that since they were here, aside from cooperation, these three humans had no other way but death.

"I will take you to a place with magic."

"A place with magic?"

The three undead exchanged glances, immediately thinking of a possibility.

Previously, those Material Plane humans who accidentally ended up here and were bought by Lord Jaw Bone!

The method of extracting internal power was already being done by Lind during the beta test period, even causing a trend of undead selling physical power for money. However, with the extraction methods and various energy minerals being endlessly replenished, undead no longer needed to sell physical power for money.

Perhaps selling physical power for little money was another reason.

"You, come with me." The other party pointed at the silent Dark Great Mage, Diao, "The rest, stay here."

Watching the two leave, 21 Assist said: "He definitely doesn’t trust us and wants to test it."

"We are not afraid to be tested." Qiuyue nodded, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

They made up the part about runes being Chinese characters, but they didn’t fully make it up - the characters were real, just incomprehensible to the natives, and that wasn’t their fault.

Soon, the Dark Great Mage, Diao, returned.

"How was it?"

"Simple."

When 21 Assist and Qiuyue followed and visited a magical environment, they understood why Diao said it was simple.

It was indeed simple, because he had already written a line, just needing to recite and cast the Flame Bomb by glitching the spell pre-cast animation, solving the issue.

The undead had many methods to glitch the pre-cast and cancel the after-cast animations, techniques acquired from countless life-and-death experiences, exclusive to the fearless undead.

"Are you alright, are you alright, are you alright? If you’re alright, have a Liulumei." Qiuyue almost couldn’t hold back.

Another feature of spells was the tone; different tones might cause failure too.

But this "spell" was guaranteed to be pronounced perfectly.

With rhythm and pitch, not missing a beat.

Even the nearby soldier involuntarily mimicked, although he didn’t understand or recite, he surprisingly remembered it.

A fearsome magical sound that circled in his mind, impossible to forget.

Successfully gaining the opponent’s trust, the three regrouped.

"You just said you could contact your people. Can they come here?"

The three nodded: "Of course! But it requires a lot of magic energy."

Lord Jaw Bone seemed very eager for talents from the Material Plane.

Whether they could summon people wasn’t important; what mattered was knowing where the Material Plane wizards held within the radius of the Third Tower Stone Pillar were located.

"We have a rune and spell that can directly extract magic power from wizards." 21 Assist said, "As long as there are enough wizards, we can contact people from the Material Plane and bring them here."

The other party fell silent.

After a while, they nodded.

"Alright!"

Upon arrival, they saw wizards with locked hands and feet, looking mentally exhausted and gaunt.

Seeing the three, the wizards were surprised but resigned to their fate, thinking they’re just more unlucky ones, without much difference.

Upon hearing that the three intended to drain the wizards’ magic power to work for Lord Jaw Bone, the wizards couldn’t help but curse, but military coercion made them sit quietly.

"Recite what?"

"Remember ’On the art of war’?"

"I returned it to the teacher long ago."

"It doesn’t matter what you recite, but it must be long and synchronized. I think reciting a lengthy text with passion is best, like ’On the art of war’ or ’Full River Red’."

The three suddenly noticed Gou Ge writing in the live stream, instructing them to search for a live stream.

In the live stream scene, a burly man with chest hair said: "Hello, everyone. I am a Chinese teacher. I will write down ’On the art of war’, and you can follow me in reciting."

Mixing in with the crowd, pretending to be a voice and blending in, was a compulsory skill for every undead who completed nine years of compulsory education.
