Chapter 60
Ye Bai raised his head and looked down at the magic scroll in his hand.
In a cold tone, he attacked the nameless, strange humanoid figure: "I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon. I think you need to explain to me why you appeared in my magic scroll!"
If the other party had not just reminded her about the undead guards and shown a certain amount of goodwill, Ye Bai would have thrown away the scroll by now.
The other party has a mysterious origin, carries a powerful curse, and has been thinking of assigning Ye Bai a task involving the gods. She has always been very wary of him.
"This situation is hard to explain..." When the other party heard Ye Bai's question, his tone became awkward again.
"Then explain slowly." Ye Bai didn't dare to deal with the strange humanoid until he figured out the matter. He asked the most concerned question: "Can you get into my backpack?"
"Of course not." The strange human-shaped figure waved his hand. Oh, now that he was this ink-lined little man, he didn't look so strange anymore. Ye Bai decided to change his name to Paper Man in his mind.
The paper figure waved his hand and said, "The curse on me has erased my existence in reality. I can only wander in words. Because you took the magic scroll from your backpack, I can appear and communicate with you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Bai said, "What will happen if I put the scroll back into my backpack?"
"Then of course you can't see me." The paper man answered as a matter of course.
Ye Bai was skeptical. When the paper man didn't appear, she couldn't see him, and she couldn't verify the authenticity of the information by putting the scroll into her backpack.
"Then you can also enter the other scrolls?"
Ye Bai said as he took out another magic scroll from his backpack.
The paper man heard Xuan Ge and understood Ya's intention. He immediately jumped from the magic scroll in Ye Bai's left hand, and then appeared on the magic scroll in her right hand.
This magic scroll was written with frost magic ink. After the paper man appeared on it, the lines that made up the scroll also turned into a deep dark blue.
Ye Bai raised his eyebrows. "From the Dragon Tomb Ruins to here, it's such a long distance. How did you get here? The jumping distance you mentioned before shouldn't be what you said, right?"
The paper figure looked at Ye Bai's expression and found that she did not show any obvious anger. Then he said cautiously: "In fact, once someone can communicate with me, I can choose to appear on a text carrier near people who know me."
I knew this paper man was no ordinary person! What a curse! It's like a meme infection!
Ye Bai frowned and immediately thought about the meaning of this sentence.
Does this mean that as long as the paper man can successfully communicate with someone, he can instantly reach any text carrier through the other party without any delay?
Those who have successfully communicated with him will become scattered entities of the curse. The only threshold is to be able to recognize the text that carries his existence.
Ye Bai was horrified: "Doesn't that mean you can travel the entire world as long as you hide in common, well-known characters? You were lying before, you weren't near the Dragon Tomb at all!"
"No, no, no, I have indeed been in the Dragon Tomb for a long time. I can only exist within words that possess magical powers, and..." At this point, the paper man gave a wry smile and said, "It is limited to those with divine blood. In all this time, you are the first person who can communicate with me."
Hearing this, Ye Bai subconsciously asked, "Donkeys don't count?"
The paper man was startled, his eyebrows raised unexpectedly, as if he had not expected Ye Bai to ask this question. He then shook his head firmly in denial: "Of course a donkey doesn't count."
It turns out it's limited to players... No, in addition to players, the five major races in the God Realm except the Ancient Dragon Clan also have the status of Divine Blood.
If the 'donkey' does not count, the true identity of the donkey is still worth pondering.
"..." After a moment of silence, Ye Bai took a deep breath: "So, my 'understanding' has also become part of your curse? Am I now one of the victims of the curse?"
"Yes, but you won't be the victim." The paper man nodded, and then quickly explained: "You can see that I'm in a state where I can't interfere with the real world. Don't worry, I won't hurt you at all!"
Ye Bai looked at the paper man that could only exist on a two-dimensional plane, and remembered his previous warning. The corners of his mouth twitched: "Yes, there is still harm."
The paper man was stunned: "What harm?"
Ye Bai: "There is mental damage."
Paper Man: “…”
At this moment, Ye Bai's expression changed. She looked up and looked outside the corridor. She heard footsteps similar to the footsteps of the Yalong people guarding the undead not far away. And there was not just one, but it sounded like there were quite a few, some coming from above the passage and some from below.
Ye Bai had taken a quick look before and saw that there were two passages on both sides of the giant gate below. It was unknown where they extended to. The donkey came out from one of the passages. It was unknown how it got there.
Thinking of the reaction of the Yalong man guarding the undead just now, Ye Bai stopped questioning the paper man for the time being. Instead, he moved his body carefully and waited along the corridor.
Soon, with the sound of a large number of footsteps, Ye Bai, who was walking along the corridor, saw a large number of undead of different appearances walking through the outer passage.
These undead spirits seemed to have received some kind of summons, and their actions were clearly purposeful, so naturally no one noticed Ye Bai who was silent.
“Crash—”
Accompanied by a long roar of a heavy object below, Ye Bai realized that the huge door had been opened. More footsteps were heard below. Even though she couldn't see them, she could imagine that a large number of dragon-born undead gathered nearby, opened the door, and poured in.
Ye Bai didn't dare to move and waited quietly. At this time, the voice of the paper man sounded again:
"They seem to have received an order and are all converging towards one location. And it's not a treasure trove. How about..."
Seeing Ye Bai raise his finger at him, the paper man couldn't help but lower his voice and explained, "Don't worry, they can't hear me."
Upon hearing this, Ye Bai put down his hand and looked at the dragon-born undead outside who seemed to be exposed one after another, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Seeing this, the paper man took advantage of Ye Bai's silence to interrupt him and began a new round of inducement: "I know you need the fabrics of the Luozhi Clan. There must be a lot of them in the Dragon Clan's treasure house. I don't know what attracted the dragonborn undead here right now. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Facing Ye Bai's suspicious gaze, the paper man whispered like a devil:
"I know the exact location of the Dragon Clan's treasure house, and my sensing range is quite long. Just like I warned you before about the approach of the undead, I can also provide you with some minor assistance in the process..."
After struggling with the paper man for a whole night, Ye Bai could of course hear that the other party's inducement was definitely to achieve a certain goal through her "three-dimensional" self, but at this moment it really touched her.
Because from the performance of these undead, it seems that they have received orders from higher-level undead and all of them came out in droves. The priority of the order is very high, and it even makes the Asian dragon guard undead give up attacking Ye Bai, and the health bar shown is not fake.
I don’t know what exactly happened here, but it is indeed as the paper man said, now is the best time to explore this area. As long as you don’t get close to the area where the undead gather, other places are relatively safe. For the low-level Ye Bai, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Ye Bai did not reply to the paper man immediately. Instead, he waited for the last of the dragonborn undead's footsteps to disappear. After the area became completely quiet, he picked up the magic scroll and asked directly:
"You're in a situation now where you can't interfere with reality, so why do you keep wanting to go to the treasure house?"
Having said that, the paper man lowered his head slightly and spoke frankly, "In my current state, all my power comes from text. In the dragon clan's treasure house, there is a code. If I can enter that code, I can recover some of my power. But I don't have your eyes, so I can't get through."
"Oh? Recovery?" Ye Bai grasped the key point.
"Hehe..." The paper man scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "To be honest, I feel like I was a strong man in the past."
Ye Bai's mouth twitched: "I believe this."
If he was not strong, he would not be worthy of such a strange curse. Now Ye Bai rejected his previous speculation. The curse on the paper man could be ruled out as coming from a demigod, and must be from a god above level 100.
Anyone who can offend a god-level powerhouse is not a simple character. Maybe... Ye Bai looked at the 'resistance field' spell scroll in his hand. Maybe a former god-level powerhouse is now contained in it.
"So, you kept mentioning the Dragon Clan's treasure house in order to lure me in so that you could enter the Codex..."
Seeing that Ye Bai's expression was becoming increasingly hostile, the paper man hurriedly said, "Then everything in the treasure house is yours, including the code!"
Good heavens, if Ye Bai didn’t have rich experience in making empty promises, it would be difficult for him to hear the problem.
If this guy really released the mission of "Dragon Treasure House", the mission reward is what Ye Bai can get after entering, and if there is one, there will be two.
Ye Bai said, "And you'll use those things as a reward for letting me help you break the curse, right?"
“…” The paper man stared silently at a pattern on the parchment, as if it were some rare work of art.
Ye Bai was silent. She had indeed been right before. The paper man was also a talent in the art of drawing cakes!
Of course, Ye Bai would not eat this cake now. She had her own scale in her heart. She could not believe everything the paper man said, but she could not lie about the fact that the other party needed to rely on her to take action.
Before completing the other party's goal, Ye Bai does not have to worry about being abandoned by the other party. Instead, he can use the other party's early warning ability to achieve his own goal.
"Are there any more undead around?" Ye Bai asked in a low voice.
The paper man immediately replied, "No, the nearest undead are more than a hundred meters away from you."
The paper man's sensing range exceeds a hundred meters... Ye Bai raised his eyebrows, walked out of the corridor holding the magic scroll and the snow-colored sword, and stepped onto the passage paved with huge stones.
At this time, the huge door below opened wide, revealing a huge passage lit by fluorite light, emitting a strange green light, and no one knew where it led to.
Under the gaze of two giant dragon statues placed at the door, Ye Bai stepped in step by step.
