Chapter 260

Su Ming came before the gate and began to grope for how to enter it.

"Finally found the ruin cave; the Shi Shi item is even very likely behind this door."

"It can be said to be close at hand..."

Su Ming's gaze was solemn, suppressing his burning heart.

"But, wanting to obtain the Shi Shi-grade heritage is not that simple."

The closer to the end, the less one can be careless.

For the current Su Ming, caution was his motto.

"Generally, inside a ruin heritage, there will be tests used to examine whether the intruder has sufficient qualifications to obtain the secret treasure."

"It could be combat, or it could be decryption."

"Or perhaps, it is to examine knowledge, faith..."

"There are many types."

"Once one fails to pass the test, there are often death traps that will completely kill the person."

"I must be careful."

Su Ming came before the gate and touched it gently with his fingers.

The rough stone gate was hard and heavy, and the material was extremely special.

Five meters tall, it could be called magnificent.

Wanting to force it open was not advisable.

Even if Su Ming's sword technique power had the Origin Sword Body bonus, it was very difficult to destroy such ancient ruins.

Even the Dragon-Slaying Technique wouldn't work.

"Since this ruin is the ancient heritage of the Lizardmen, then it is very likely that it requires an understanding of the Lizardman language to pass."

"But I am not proficient in the Lizardman language... I have only dabbled in it slightly."

"I can only take it one step at a time."

Su Ming said solemnly.

He raised his head and used his eyes to observe this ancient stone gate.

It was covered with green moss, but the ancient language on the gate wall was still clearly visible.

He prepared to use his limited Lizardman knowledge to forcibly read these languages.

The higher the mental energy, the stronger the memory and comprehension ability.

This also meant that one could learn an alien language faster.

Su Ming's past life reached the eighth turn, and his mental energy value was terrifyingly high.

In his past life, he had communicated with Lizardmen of other factions, so he still retained some understanding of the Lizardman language in his mind.

Although not proficient, it could be considered as having dabbled in it.

He could barely read a few words and phrases.

"Thou... sand... year... treasure?"

"Jade... life-solving?"

Su Ming read in the obscure and difficult language.

He didn't recognize many of the middle characters, so he was reading by skipping.

But he could roughly understand the meaning.

The Lizardman race was extremely ancient.

But they had experienced too long a bloodline inheritance, and much knowledge had been lost.

Many of the younger generation of Lizardmen had already forgotten the original language of the ancient Lizardman race.

For example, Tuo Zhan and the others communicated in the Ten Thousand Races language; whether they knew the Lizardman language was unknown.

Among the Wuka faction Lizardmen, I'm afraid only a small number of elder-level old people still remembered the true Lizardman language.

Fortunately, in his past life, Su Ming had dealt with high-ranking elders of other Lizardman races.

Of course, not the Wuka faction, but another faction of the Lizardman race.

Su Ming looked toward the center of the giant gate.

He saw a circular groove there, which seemed to fit perfectly with the Lizardman Holy Egg.

"It seems that the Holy Egg needs to be embedded in it."

Su Ming's gaze was solemn.

Judging from the prompt words above and the groove, it seemed correct!

He immediately took out an oval-shaped, huge fluorescent egg from his personal space.

It looked about as big as Su Ming's head!

The whole body was ink-green, looking like jade, shining brilliantly.

It was like a top-tier piece of jade.

The shell was layered, finely embedded with countless scale-shaped patterns.

It was also inscribed with many secret texts of the Lizardman race.

Su Ming used his Eye of Insight to scan the information of this Holy Egg.

【Wuka Lizardman Holy Egg (top-tier Platinum)】

【Introduction: The Holy Egg is a clan-protecting treasure that all Lizardman races possess. No matter which Lizardman faction it is, there will be such a Holy Egg stored in the tribe. Often only the patriarch and elders have the right to peek at it from a close distance; it is a symbol of holiness.】

【It is generally condensed by several first-generation elders who established the faction, using their lives as essence before they die. It contains a large amount of energy, and there is even a 0.01% probability of giving birth to a Lizardman Clan-Protecting Beast (B-rank exotic beast), with a judgment triggered once a year.】

【Once a Lizardman faction is lucky enough for the Holy Egg to hatch and break its shell, that will be a joyous occasion for the whole world, meaning that this race's bloodline can be promoted in one fell swoop and become a high-tier existence among the Lizardman race.】

【Affix · Historical Preservation: The Lizardman Holy Egg has multiple functions, one of which is to record the migration history of this faction.】

【Affix · Wuka Holy Skill: The Diamond-grade skill of the Wuka faction Lizardman ancestors, stored in the inscribed runes of this Holy Egg; only a Lizardman with enough talent can comprehend it (until today, no Lizardman has successfully inherited this skill)】

【Hidden Affix · Key: This Holy Egg seems to be able to open a certain gate...】

Su Ming's gaze was slightly startled.

This Holy Egg had a skill hidden within it.

It was a pity that only a Lizardman could learn and comprehend it.

Furthermore, it also had the ability to open the gate.

This further corroborated Su Ming's speculation!

Inadvertently, Su Ming's fingers rubbed against this Holy Egg.

A line of handwriting appeared before Su Ming.

【In the ancient and long years of inheritance, the Lizardman race differentiated into many branches; the Wuka tribe was one of them. They lived in the ice and snow, their bodies evolved toxicity, their skin also became hard and thick, and they had cold resistance.】

【The ancestors of the Wuka tribe came to settle in this world in order to suppress a super BOSS, and they entrusted their descendants to protect the seal and prevent outsiders from entering this sealed land.】

Suddenly, the ghostly green historical traces appeared.

Lifelike.

Picture after picture was reflected from within the Holy Egg and projected before Su Ming.

In the picture, a huge monster condensed and combined from thousands of monster fish was roaring and slaughtering everything.

That was definitely a BOSS-level monster.

Afterward, several Lizardmen with deep realms formed a large array and joined forces to suppress it in this frozen land.

Those few Lizardmen were the ancestors of the Wuka tribe!

Up to now, more than a hundred years have passed.

This world has also gradually developed into a D-rank dungeon.

"So that's how it is."

Su Ming immediately understood what had happened in the past of this dungeon.

"The fierce beast condensed from countless monster fish should be the final BOSS of this dungeon."

This news was very important.

"It can be considered an extra harvest; I didn't expect this Holy Egg to provide me with the BOSS information of this dungeon."

Su Ming felt somewhat pleasantly surprised.

Furthermore, he also saw in the picture that an ancestor of the Wuka tribe displayed a Holy Absolute skill.

Named 【Ghost Scale Cold Sever (low-tier Diamond)】

It could condense a huge Lizardman scale and cut open a large battlefield. ===== CHAPTER 262 =====
