Upon hearing Lin Xu's words, both elves looked over, their eyes shining slightly.
Being able to serve one's master is the greatest happiness for an elf.
They were all secretly frustrated by their useless performance just now, but when they heard that they actually had a chance to perform, they were all full of anticipation.
Lin Xu began instructing the two elves.
Tao Yao needs to face the riddle on the left.
The task is to adjust and move a special instrument with various intricate patterns and an extremely complex shape.
This instrument is roughly spherical, but its surface has various raised patterns and squares that can be arranged into many complex shapes.
According to this rule, ordinary people can only stand under this strange ball, painstakingly manipulate a pattern on the bottom of the ball, and try to make the ball into the shape indicated by the answer.
However, for Tao Yao, operating this mechanism is much easier, and she can take many shortcuts.
Because she can fly.
Tao Yao can fly directly over many angles covered by the top of the sphere, move by twisting the patterns on the sphere, and manipulate the sphere at will.
Moreover, many of the spherical patterns were originally impossible to touch from below, but if Tao Yao flew to one side, she could manipulate the sphere at will.
Although if Lin Xu were to create a suitable device, he could also create a robotic arm that could do something similar to Tao Yao.
However, manufacturing machinery ultimately requires design and construction, a process that takes a considerable amount of time and is not as flexible and convenient as Taoyao.
Therefore, Tao Yao's ability to fly can be considered a significant help.
Lin Xu then instructed Tao Yao to fly around and move the patterns on the sphere to create a suitable shape.
Just as Tao Yao was working hard, Lin Xu took advantage of the fact that he didn't need to give Tao Yao any instructions for the time being, and then looked at Xiao Yu:
"Xiaoyu, have you figured out the true meaning of the riddle on the right?"
Xiaoyu gripped the hem of her clothes tightly:
"I'm sorry, Master, I understand some of it, but I haven't been able to see through it completely yet..."
Lin Xu patted Xiaoyu's head:
"It's alright, Xiaoyu. It's not that you're not smart, it's just that you haven't received relevant training and don't know the solution methods for some common puzzles. I'll explain it to you now..."
Lin Xu began explaining the solution to the puzzle on the right to Xiao Yu.
This is actually a math problem.
To solve the puzzle, the island owner needs to deduce three equations from a complex set of conditions, calculate the results, and fill them into the answer field.
Xiaoyu had not learned any basic knowledge about ancient ruins puzzles, so naturally she couldn't think of a solution to this kind of problem for the time being.
However, although Xiaoyu couldn't figure out the riddle, it wasn't entirely useless, because after extracting those three equations, calculations were needed.
Lin Xu has now roughly obtained three equations, but he needs paper and pen to calculate them. It will probably take him more than three days to finish the calculations.
After all, his current mental capacity has only been enhanced by a single improvement in his life essence, and he does not possess any corresponding superpowers or special characteristics.
He needs to expend a lot of effort to get the result of such a complex formula.
However, if this equation were given to Xiaoyu, with her super computing power and the ability to solve five hundred problems, she could get the answer almost instantly.
This was definitely a huge help.
Otherwise, if Lin Xu had wasted three days in the ruins, the island lord of Wang Enna might have already transferred the benefits away, and the subsequent hunting profits would have been greatly reduced.
Lin Xu then told Xiaoyu the three equations and asked her to calculate the results.
The next moment, a dark blue light flashed in Xiaoyu's eyes as she rapidly performed mental calculations.
Then she said three numbers, which were the answer to the equation.
This computing speed is absolutely comparable to that of a supercomputer.
Lin Xu had no doubts about Xiao Yu. He went to the puzzle on the right and manipulated the mechanism to carve three numbers.
Sure enough, the wall began to shake the next moment, and this side of the wall sank into the ground, no longer blocking the three of them.
And what remains is the mystery of Tao Yao.
Even if you know the solution, this puzzle is still a complicated physical task. Tao Yao was directed by Lin Xu to fly up and down and fiddle with the spherical mechanism at least hundreds of times.
Finally, the texture and shape of the entire sphere became very harmonious, forming a pattern with textures radiating in all directions.
The puzzle was solved, and the wall on the left sank down.
The heavy steel behind the wall then parted to the sides, revealing the scene behind it.
At this moment, Lin Xu felt somewhat awestruck by this space.
Because there is a huge statue behind the wall.
The statue is at least fifty meters tall, and Lin Xu and his group could only see the foot of the statue.
However, when they entered the ruins, they only went down three or four meters at most; there was simply not that much space.
"This is a spacetime-related ability..."
Lin Xu felt a chill run down his spine and cautiously observed the statue.
Xiaoyu and Taoyao were also on high alert, looking around cautiously.
They still remembered the traps and mechanisms from earlier, and now they were all secretly determined not to let Lin Xu face danger alone again; they wanted to be of use as well.
However, the three puzzles are clearly the final obstacle to this ruin.
After all, it's just a beginner-level ruin, so the puzzles and difficulties won't be that complicated or difficult.
But Lin Xu kept observing the sculpture and discovered that the lower half of the sculpture was a huge female killer whale.
But this female beast looked much more majestic than the previous one, and its form and appearance were also very different. It didn't look as dark and terrifying, but rather like some kind of divine beast.
Just as Lin Xu was looking up along the mother beast, preparing to see what else was above her, he suddenly felt dizzy.
Xiaoyu and Taoyao, who were standing nearby, also suddenly cried out.
The next moment, Lin Xu found that he had returned to the entrance of the ruins, left the ruins, and returned to the topsoil.
Xiaoyu and Taoyao naturally followed beside him.
Recalling what he had just seen in the ruins, Lin Xu vaguely felt that there was a huge human figure above the mother beast, but he couldn't even make out whether the figure was male or female before he left the area.
At this moment, a notification sounded in Lin Xu's mind:
[Island Owner Lin Xu has successfully deciphered the remains of the mother orca and obtained the rewards.]
The notification sound had a mechanical quality; it must have been some kind of synthesized mechanical sound.
Lin Xu felt a slight chill run down his spine.
Neither the voice that suddenly appeared in his mind nor the technology that directly teleported him were abilities he could currently understand or master.
The voice in my mind likely involves soul-related abilities, while teleportation involves spacetime power.
Both of these abilities belong to the top tier of power; even mastering just a little bit of them can crush countless island lords.
Lin Xu estimated that he would need to awaken the corresponding special ability for these two powers, and also raise the special ability to a very high level, in order to have a chance to reach the level of the power in the ruins and explore what is behind this power.
If he can do that, he might be able to resist the relic's teleportation and remain inside the relic even after clearing the game.
He was very curious about what the upper part of the sculpture in the ruins would look like.
If he gains power in the future, he certainly won't let go of the answer to this mystery.
