Chapter 294 Ring X Pattern X Mechanism

"It should be right here."

Noah stretched out his hand and turned over half of the stone pillar lying on the ground, revealing the circular pattern engraved in the sand below. Upon seeing this, Liha and others who were following Noah showed a touch of joy on their faces, and then He looked at Noah's back with somewhat complicated eyes.

The scene of Noah killing Im is still vivid in my mind.

After realizing Noah's strength, Liha and others immediately became a lot more cautious. Although they still acted together with Noah, they had already automatically reduced their positions to the lowest level. Along the way, several people People acted exactly according to Noah's pace, and the atmosphere in the team became slightly quieter.

Noah naturally didn't care about this.

He shook his hand on the sand and swept away the dust covering the pattern. Noah could see the pattern clearly.

This is a two-layer ring-shaped pattern. The outer layer is engraved with characters of unknown meaning, and there are four different logo patterns in the middle. From left to right, they are spears, masks, city gates, and flames.

With his brows furrowed, Noah reached out to the sharp spear pattern on the far left. After pressing it, he discovered that it could be rotated. After rotating, the pointed spear pattern turned into a mask.

"This is this?" At this time, Liha and others also came closer. After seeing the pattern on the ground, they all frowned, with doubts on their faces.

"It's a password type mechanism. I guess you need to turn the right pattern to open it." After trying to turn the other three patterns and finding that the patterns all changed, Noah came to a conclusion.

"Code mechanism?" Casey twitched the corner of his mouth, looking like he had never expected it.

"How do we know what the password is? Is there no hint?" Saomi looked up and looked around to find some relevant hints.

Liha bent over and squatted next to the pattern, saying softly: "It's troublesome."

"Can't you try to spin around first? There are only four patterns, and all the combinations are not very many. Maybe you will get lucky." Jaona suggested.

"No." Liha glanced at him and rejected the proposal. Then he looked at Noah and said, "It is risky to do this. Let's not say whether there will be a limit on the number of times for this cryptographic mechanism. Even if it doesn't, If we use this luck-based approach, if we are unlucky, it will cost us a lot of time."

"There are only 24 hours in total. Even if we try our luck and successfully unlock this mechanism within 24 hours, how much time do we have left? No one can guarantee that after unlocking this mechanism, we will directly reach the underground square. Are there other agencies?”

"Since this thing is arranged here, there must be corresponding prompts nearby."

"You're right." Looking at Liha, Noah nodded, stood up, and continued: "Let's look around first."

I didn’t expect there was a password. No wonder there was a rule not to allow wanton destruction before starting. This is the main difficulty of this test, right? At least the first difficulty. Lija is right, there are only 24 hours, and this mechanism is definitely not an underground square. In other words, the more time spent here, the greater the probability of elimination.

Seeing Liha and the others scattering around, Noah couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

The hunter test is quite interesting.

Thinking about it, Noah's footsteps started to move.

The hunter exam is essentially an exam after all. Although the test questions will be different every year due to changes in examiners, since it is an exam, no matter how difficult it is, it is still possible to pass, otherwise Nitro will not agree. So Liha was right. Since this thing is here, there should be corresponding prompts around it. As long as you find those, you can open this mechanism.

Squinting his eyes slightly, his gaze slowly swept around,

Then, Noah’s pupils shrank.

That one?

In front of Noah's sight, at the end of the street, there is an eroded and damaged statue. It is a headless woman holding up a disk in the sky. Under the sunlight, the disk held by the woman's right hand forms a shadow. , which happened to be projected on the pattern.

As soon as the figure flashed, Noah had already arrived in front of the statue. After walking around the statue, Noah suddenly reached out to the woman's left hand on her waist and wiped the dust on her left wrist with her hand. The tattoo carved underneath was revealed.

Flames, masks, gates, spears.

Seeing this, Noah showed a smile in his eyes. He turned around and returned to the side of the mechanism. He squatted down and touched the first pattern. After turning it twice, the mask turned into a city gate and a city. The door turns into flames.

Then the mask doesn’t move…

The city gate doesn’t move…

The flames turned into spears...

As the last pattern changed, a 'click' sound came to Noah's ears.

Then there was a heavy sound of movement. The double ring pattern in front of him slid open to both sides, revealing the stairs extending downward. Hearing the movement, Liha and others came over. After seeing the opened mechanism, several people Their faces were full of joy, and they looked at Noah with even more awe and admiration.

"Let's go." After waving, Noah took the lead and walked down. Lieha and the others came quickly and followed behind him. A few minutes later, the open door slowly closed behind them.

Just after Noah and the others successfully opened the agency doors, people in other parts of the ancient city also successfully noticed these agency doors.

Like the agency doors that Noah and the others found, these agency doors have four patterns that can rotate - spears, masks, city gates, and flames.

Near these patterns, there are statues of different shapes, including graceful beauties, strong warriors, strange beasts roaring up to the sky, and old men with stooped stature. Some parts of these statues, Hidden hints will be given through the sunlight, and on these statues, the password sequence to open the mechanism will be secretly drawn.

The candidates in the 272nd period showed their talents and began to find ways to open the mechanism amidst a small amount of friction with each other.

The second organ door was successfully opened the second hour after Noah and the others. Standing next to this organ door were the double-sword Biyoka whom Dongba and Noah had introduced, and the conspirator Zecia. Near the two of them, around the door of the agency, there were figures lying upside down. One of them was the tall iron-boned Tapeng. At this time, blood was gurgling from his chest as he lay prone. , spreading downwards along the stairs inside the agency door.

Bioka put away her swords and stepped onto the stairs.

"Thank you, Mr. Tarpon."

Zecia followed him, bowed slightly to Tapeng's body, and walked away with a smile.

Later, candidates from all over the ancient city opened the doors again. At this time, Noah and others also encountered the second difficulty of the test.
