Chapter 310 - 310: Turtle-Patterned Treasure Fruit

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As the Jade Crystal Yellow Pearls were plucked and thrown into the Creation Space, the Creation Treasure Fruit hanging on the branches became more and more condensed. Finally, it turned into a treasure fruit that was round like an orange and yellow like jade.

There were some shallow strange patterns on the surface, like the patterns on the back of the turtle shell. It emitted a strange aura, just like the Fire-Patterned Treasure Fruit.

The thin seven-colored light became branches that hung the treasure fruit. As the Jade Crystal Yellow Pearls were thrown in, the patterns on the treasure fruit quickly spread and became more and more exquisite. In the end, they formed an extremely magical and complicated pattern like the Fire-Patterned Treasure Fruit!

In comparison to the Fire-Patterned Treasure Fruit, the pattern of this Turtle Pattern Treasure Fruit was something that Lin Yan could tell at a glance. It was like a pattern of a divine turtle holding a tablet and stepping on waves to chase mountains!

Lin Yan looked at the pattern carefully. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that it contained endless mysteries. All the strength in his body seemed to be circulating with the pattern.

This feeling… was somewhat similar to the light image transmitted when he received the inheritance jade just now!

However, just like the Fire-Patterned Treasure Fruit from before, there was a thin and invisible barrier that was extremely tough. It isolated him from the patterns on the fruit, causing him to be neither up nor down. No matter what, he could not grasp the essence of it.

Opening his eyes, Lin Yan looked around. The light was already much dimmer. Almost all the Jade Crystal Yellow Pearls on the surrounding walls had been plucked by him.

When he chose, the quality was according to the order of Yellow Grade, Black Grade, and finally Jade Grade.

Even so, catalyzing the Turtle-Patterned Treasure Fruit to the same level as the Fire-Patterned Treasure Fruit almost consumed all the Jade Crystal Yellow Pearls.

Now, looking around, there were only seven Jade Grade Jade Crystal Yellow Pearls left in the entire room. There were also some extremely small pearls scattered elsewhere, as well as some that were inconvenient to pluck on the top wall.

Lin Yan picked four of the remaining seven Jade Grade beads and put them away. He did not touch the other three.

The Turtle Spirit Holy Mother’s consciousness even urged him to take everything away. Lin Yan only shook his head and refused.

“Alright, I’ve already taken everything I need. It’s time for you to tell me about the Gadfly Demon.”

Hearing him say that, the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother’s golden ball consciousness trembled. It showed a serious expression and sent a bunch of information.

“Old Qin, translate.”

Old Qin had always been extremely curious about his method of making the Jade Crystal Yellow Pearl disappear into thin air, but Lin Yan refused to say anything.

At this moment, he said gloomily, “The Turtle Spirit Holy Mother said that the Gadfly Demon is very terrifying and very dangerous… In short, it’s afraid of the Gadfly Demon.”

Lin Yan immediately circulated his Mind Connection Technique and sent a message to the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother. “What about the weaknesses of the Gadfly Demons? Do they have habits, living environments, reproduction methods, racial characteristics, and so on?”

The golden ball was suddenly stuck in midair and did not move for a long time. In the end, it drooped to the ground and jumped up again to send a message.

Old Qin said speechlessly, “It said that ever since its main consciousness was sealed, its memory bank has been greatly reduced. It can’t store much information, so it can’t answer you.

“However, she can take you to a place where there’s a lot of information about the Gadfly Demon.”

With that, the golden ball floated out again and floated towards a wall. A path immediately opened up on the wall.

Lin Yan followed. After another red jade flesh passage, Lin Yan actually came to a room that was similar to the space just now, but three to four times larger.

The difference was that the room here was clearly not formed naturally. Although the surrounding walls were also made of a grayish-white material similar to the back shell, they had been repaired with a grayish-white bone-like material to repair the uneven spots, forming a square space.

In the room, there were rows of bookshelves carved and molded from giant fish bones!

On the pale fish bone bookshelves, there were ancient and strange books lined up densely. The colors were all black or gray. The material was not paper at all, but a texture similar to leather.

Looking around, there were many ancient fish bones and back shells hanging on the wall as decorations. There were actually beams on the top. It was obvious that there were structures on them, but they could not be seen now.

Under the beam, a bronze oil lamp with a different shape like a turtle hung high above. It was clearly different from the small bronze lamps he had seen on the office level outside.

Lin Yan noticed that everything in this room was covered in a thick layer of dust. It was unknown how long it had been since anyone had been here.

“Big Brother, look behind you. There are words here!”

Lin Yan turned around and saw a white bone board hanging on the wall behind him. There were three words carved on it. The words were ancient and mysterious, but Lin Yan couldn’t recognize them.

“This seems to be… a library?”

Old Qin said. The golden ball vibrated and confirmed that what Old Qin said was true.

“You recognize these words?”

“Of course I can read. Big Brother, you can’t read?!”

Lin Yan thought about it and didn’t find it strange. Lin Yan had seen it in his previous life. Memories were divided into procedural memories and descriptive memories. Reading words was a procedural memory. It was an instinctive inertia that wouldn’t disappear easily.

The golden ball trembled. Lin Yan could roughly guess that it meant that the information about the Gadfly Demons was on those bookshelves.

Lin Yan walked over, leaving a trail of footprints behind him. When he reached the bookshelf, he waved his hand slightly and gently brushed away the dust on the first row of books on the first bookshelf. Then, he carefully pulled out a book.

This book was a smooth leather, like the skin of a shark. However, it had probably been around for at least a hundred years. It was curled and old, and it was very fragile.

Every book was not thick, only dozens of pages. Moreover, the edges were cut roughly, and the pages were nailed with fish bones. It was obvious that every book was handmade.

Lin Yan covered his palm with force to protect it before carefully flipping it open.

Not only were there words, but there were also many drawings. The book in his hand seemed to record an illustration of a certain type of aquatic creature. Every page was accompanied by patterns and words.

However, the style was similar to the ancient Classic of Mountains and Seas in his previous life. The drawing was quite rough. He could only roughly see what was drawn, but the exact appearance was confusing.

“Old Qin, come and take a look. Do you recognize these words?”

He picked up Old Qin and stopped above the book. However, he did not put it down to prevent the book from shattering.

“This says… Devil Horn Fish. It has bull horns on its head, and its meat is exquisite and edible. Horn that’s ground into powder can cure fever and illnesses. It’s grumpy and likes cold water. It lives in deep water… That’s about it.”

Lin Yan asked curiously, “Could the pronunciation of these words be the same as we’re using now?”

Old Qin asked curiously, “What language? Are there other languages?”

Lin Yan felt even stranger. Actually, when he could understand Wang Yue’s words, he felt a little strange.

He could not recognize the language of the Ancient Fan Nation, but he could understand the language of the Ancient Fan Nation?

It was the same even now.

He could not understand the words on this ancient book, but the pronunciation of the words was exactly the same as now?

Logically speaking, the inheritance of writing was more stable than the inheritance of speaking.

But now, the speaking had been passed down, and the writing had been upgraded to a new level?

It was as if someone had deliberately erased the words of the past…

After flipping through two pages, Lin Yan suddenly paused and pointed at the words on the page. He asked, “Old Qin, what’s this? What’s the name on this fish?”

“These four words should be… Ghost-Faced Fish!”

Ghost-Faced Fish…

The portrait of the Ghost-Faced Fish on this page was quite similar to the Platypus Salamander he had seen in the poisonous lake.

This made him recall that Elder Xu, including Ling Shuangxue and the others, had said that there were records in ancient books that the Corpse Buddha Cockroach fed on the Ghost-Faced Fish.

Therefore, these ancient books were not legends, but some real historical records?

Looking at the many leather books lined up neatly on the bookshelves, Lin Yan pinched Old Qin and said, “Old Qin, teach me how to read..”
