Xue Ba handed the objects wrapped in clean cloth over to Gu Jun “This is it Five of then characters on them”
Gu Jun accepted them and unwrapped the cloth carefully They revealed a sn civilization They were made from the same material as Landon’s blueprints and Raybundy’s diary They looked akin to parchments, but they were not His thue under his touch It felt like he had co fa the Carlot Scalpel, he was certain these things can civilization
The scalpel was ‘supposedly’ found buried behind the stone wall Then, it was kept inside the tea the spell, only Xue Ba had been conscious enough to realize Gu Jun appeared to be holding the scalpel when he was doing so With regards to this, Gu Jun’s explanation was that he had triggered soh contact with the scalpel, and it had helped him break the imprisonment of the spell
“Can you understand what’s written here?” Xue Ba asked “But stop iet an earful froain”
Xue Ba was cornered It was not that he was not concerned about Gu Jun’s safety, but if the exit was still not found, the Demon Hunters would all die
“Are those incantations for spells?” Lin Mo peered their ith interest It appeared like the whole school of knowledge interested hi all over the battlefield Lou Xiaoning, as still under surveillance, could only stand to the side while she watched Uncle Dan and Zhang Huohuo conduct the autopsy with boredoh the first page and came to that conclusion “They appear to contain information about the banyan trees”
The parchments were extremely ancient The words were readable albeit blurry It was clear that it was not written by the people from Afterlife Cult, so the question became how they fell into their hands Currently, Gu Jun had a vocabulary of over 1,500 foreign terh for him to comprehend the content of the parchh thelish

“There are only banyan trees and stones in this city, but ould I expect? The city is famous for the trees, especially the one in the city center” The term ‘banyan tree’ was naturally a liberal translation Gu Jun believed that they actually referred to the giant trees with the twisted branches around the shrine, but for hus, ‘banyan tree’ would be the closest translation
After hearing the first sentence, Lin Mo could not help but slip in a question “Could the city in question refer to the abnorh walls? The banyan tree at the city center is the trunk of that dead tree?”
“I’m afraid so” Gu Jun nodded with contemplation
Xue Ba turned to lecture Lin Mo “Please don’t interrupt until Ah Jun finishes”
Gu Jun continued to recite
“The stone path is covered in blood They have bled for four days, and they are still bleeding
“Will the tree cough? Does the tree have blood?
“I notice that on the consecrated ground of the Goddess of Life, the mountain of carcasses has melted to form a new life form
“The shrine has been shattered The citizens ere the first to escape and block the exit failed to escape death
“Many famous characters froe cereeniuses”
“Carlot Academy?” This time, it was Xue Ba who did not take his own advice because he was re else “Didn’t you say the scalpel has the brand of Carlot on it?”
“Yes, they should point toward the sa a horrible tragedy, but there was a lack of regret or sadness in the tone The more he read, thethe capitol, Rikers is famed for its medical study Everyone says the Goddess of Life has blessed this place
“People have always valued the stones of Rikers, but what about the banyan tree?
“Why couldn’t people like the banyan trees?
“A kind of disease related to the banyan trees, a new life form like the ones created from the mountain of carcass, that sounds wonderful I a to create the illness here
“A new kind of life form
