Chapter 2739 - Weird Scene (1/2)
The pictures were, admittedly, strange. Han Sen and the two women passed through many restrictions to get there, but if they hadn’t, Han Sen would have thought that these drawings had been created by some renowned abstract painter or graffiti artist rather than by an ancient elite.
When they arrived at the Ancient Wall, many of the Very High were at the wall already. Some were sitting, some were standing, some were staring at the wall, and some had their heads lowered in contemplation. It seemed as if they were all trying to feel something from the paintings on the wall.
Some of the Very High who were present were very scary individuals, too. Even among their powerful race, they were probably considered top-class elites.
Han Sen started to say something, but Exquisite gestured for him to remain silent. She gravely placed a finger over her lips, then motioned for him to observe the painting.
When Han Sen saw how Exquisite and Li Keer were carefully watching the Very High around them, he realized that the two women must be trying not to disturb their prestigious elders. They were being very careful not to do anything that might disturb the other people at the wall or disrupt their concentration.
Han Sen didn’t say anything. He just moved to examine the drawings on the wall. Exquisite and Li Keer stayed beside him, looking closely at the drawings as well.
As they tried to understand the drawings, they also paid attention to what Han Sen was thinking. Being able to access Han Sen’s perspective and knowledge meant they could learn much more.
But it wasn’t as if they were taking advantage of Han Sen. After all, had he not become a silkworm of the Very High, he would never have been able to see the drawings on this wall in the first place.
The whole mountain was covered in drawings, which meant that there was an unimaginable amount to take in. Han Sen wanted to find the very beginning. Once he found the starting point, he could follow the drawings as they progressed.
But after searching for a while, he was unable to find where the drawing had begun.
The weird artwork was something Han Sen couldn’t understand in the least. Many abstract images seemed to have been melded together into a single fluid mural, which had no beginning and no end. It was hard to tell what it could all mean. If the drawings hadn’t been so incredibly smooth and stunning, Han Sen would have thought that it was the random graffiti of a child.
Exquisite could feel what Han Sen was thinking. She lowered her voice and whispered to Han Sen, “No one knows where this painting starts, and no one knows what the painting means. You should start by trying to understand it through the scratches.”
Han Sen nodded without responding. He couldn’t see any obvious clues, so he did what Exquisite had suggested. He focused on the scratch marks visible in the stone.
Han Sen’s mind wasn’t any worse than that of an ordinary deified elite. After looking over the drawing for a while, Han Sen realized that it had been drawn with a person’s fingers. The mind that resided inside the scratch marks wasn’t hostile, either. These weren’t the gashes of weaponry, but neither were they elegant like writing done with a pen. It was a very strange thing to see.
“This should be a finger mind,” Han Sen guessed. He couldn’t be entirely sure, though.
Although he wasn’t sure what kind of mind this was, it wasn’t hard to tell that the person who made the entire drawing had a powerful consciousness. Han Sen’s mind was powerful in its own right, but compared to the mind that had created these marks, his was simple and low-level.
Han Sen wasn’t in a rush to understand the mind that resided within the marks. He followed a trail across the mountain. First, he wanted to take-in the drawing on a larger scale. After that, he would step closer and examine each individual drawing in detail.
