Chapter 46 (2/2)

The Intelligence Bar of human beings was generally over 80, but the Demonic Ants with the highest intelligence in the natural world were only at 60. The Intelligence Bar of the purple cat in front of Wei Huo now, was only at 45.

Intelligence has always been humanity’s advantage. Through knowledge, they became the Earth’s most powerful race. That was why humans still had a huge advantage even when time was halted.

Wei Huo believed that humans would reach the top of nature’s pyramid if they improved themselves with their advantages.

Wei Huo ignored the purple cat that was sleeping soundly as he was too desperate in getting the heritage. If the purple cat was still there after he got the heritage, he did not mind obtaining one extra Magical Stone.

Wei Huo walked deep into the cave. After an hour, Wei Huo discovered a plain stone door. However, not a single trace was left on the door even with Wei Huo’s destructive punch.

Come to think of it, the door should be protected by rules. Just like how game characters could not destroy the door of instances or some particular items.

How could he open the door?

Wei Huo was confused. There was not even a single hint on the door!

He examined the door. The door seemed to be made up of normal granite. However, Wei Huo would have blasted open the door with his punch if it was normal granite.

It appears that merely using brute force would not work.

“Looks like it’s time for solving puzzles. Finally, I can show off my intelligence as a human being! If the Demonic Ants can solve puzzles, as a human, I can definitely do it too!” Wei Huo was confident.

In the end, three hours went by…

Dispirited, Wei Huo sat on the ground while mumbling, “What f*cking door is this? There’s no clue at all. At least give me some hints!”

‘There must be some hints. I’m the one who didn’t find them.”

Wei Huo recalled the characteristics of the Demonic Ants. There must be some reason why Demonic Ants could obtain the heritages. Come to think of it, the Demonic Ants could not hear and see. However, they had a very developed sense of taste. Moreover, they communicated through scents.

Thinking of this Wei Huo started twitching his nose, trying to get a sniff of the smell nearby.

Humans had too many organs. If one was not focused, they could only feel it when there was a strong sensory stimulation. However, one would be able to pick up the abnormality easier if they focused their attention on one sense.

For example, at this moment, Wei Huo focused all his attention on his nose, and instantly caught a faint fragrance wafted through his nose.

Wei Huo followed this faint fragrance and moved forward. After about 10 minutes, he entered an unfamiliar place before proceeding banging his head into a wall.

Wei Huo was left speechless. “…”

It was a fake wall!

Attracted by the door, Wei Huo had only searched for hidden traps within the area. He never thought that the real entrance would be at another location.
