Decryption

"Including my barons, a total of eleven teams are participating in this Red Banquet..."

Once I announce the start of the banquet, you will enter the portal one by one according to your respective numbers.

Different squads will randomly appear in the outer area of the Scarlet Hall.

My pets and I will be the "inspectors" of this banquet, entering last.

If you linger in a certain area for an extended period, the probability of encountering me will greatly increase... Once I spot you, you will only have one choice: find a way to escape my pursuit.

Use all your skills and every means to obtain the supreme "Royal Blood Brew"!

I now declare the Red Banquet officially open.

The moment the words fell.

Whoosh! The Earl's giant red wings suddenly spread open.

He stretched out his arm, pointing with his bright red and sharp nails at the otherworldly portal woven from Blood Filaments in the center of the Main Hall.

The team with serial number [1] is Han Dong's team, led by Blood Knight Lucius, and all members stepped into it.

It feels completely different from the Gate of Destiny.

First, there's a sensation of the body penetrating a thin, mucous membrane.

Immediately afterwards, a pungent, fishy smell assaulted my senses, making me feel as if I were enveloped in a slippery, fishy substance, or as if I had fallen into a quagmire filled with foul-smelling debris...

As the body slowly sinks, it eventually touches the solid floor.

Transmission complete.

Although the team members were all quite resilient, the complete immersion of their bodies in the stench and filth, coupled with a strong sense of spatial unease, affected their brains.

Senior Sister Zhen, Lunze, Demps all felt visibly unwell and almost vomited.

Lucius and Abel just looked a little unwell; they'll be fine after a short rest.

Only Han Dong, the instant he landed, immediately began observing the current alien environment...

The team is currently in a secret room with a predominantly bright red color scheme.

The library area is a two-story building.

Four bookshelves filled with books stood neatly against the wall.

In the center is a square wooden desk with white paper, a fountain pen, and an unsealed inkwell.

Tick-tock...

Blood dripped continuously from the cracked top, landing right in the inkwell...

It seems that everyone needs to write down some correct words or draw some special symbols in order to escape the current room...

However, based on the existing clues, the decryption seems quite difficult.

It's obvious.

This first challenge tests everyone's insight, analytical, and deductive abilities.

This is something that Han Dong, a university professor in his lifetime, was most adept at... Moreover, the key points of the decryption correspond exactly to the books that Han Dong was most familiar with.

Most people would be overwhelmed by the sight of thousands of books lined up here, and would have no chance of studying them carefully to decipher the clues to escape the locked room.

"Could this space have been created by the Blood God?"

Captain Lucius reached out and caught a drop of blood falling from the ceiling, seemingly resonating with the Scarlet Curse within him.

If this is indeed a space created by the Blood God.

Once the Royal Blood Brew is finally obtained, there is absolutely no way the team will be allowed to take it back to the Holy City...

The drinking of blood-brewed wine and the bestowal of noble titles will all take place here.

Just as Han Dong had gathered in advance, Blood God would also be monitoring the internal situation of the Scarlet Hall throughout the entire process.

However, judging from the look in Lucius's eyes when he made the suggestion, he seemed to have been prepared all along.

Just as everyone was recovering from their discomfort...

Han Dong had already taken a book from one of the bookshelves (these books had been examined by the Lesser Demon Eye and had nothing unusual about them).

The reason for choosing this book is simply because its title and category are clearly incompatible with the bookshelf where it is placed.

Using this screening method, Han Dong also found a misplaced book on each of the other three bookshelves.

"The Blood Lotus", "The Duke Milesbo's Petition", "The Origin of the Tarigan River Basin", and "The Sacrificial Culture of the Zudajia Tribe".

"Do we really need to select special words and symbols from four books and write them on blank paper?"

Senior Lunze was a bit overwhelmed.

Although he was born in a library, he rarely read books in his daily life because he majored in necromancy.

"No... The Earl said at the beginning that if we stay in a certain area for too long, the chances of encountering him will greatly increase."

The level design shouldn't intentionally waste our time or make us spend too much time reading these books. As long as we use the right method, we can definitely decipher them quickly.

The information isn't hidden in the books themselves; it's probably in their titles.

The cover of the book "The Origin of the Tarigan River Basin" features a design of two triangles, one upright and Inverted Triangle, pieced together. This design was drawn by Han Dong on white paper with a background.

Then extract the English words from the titles of the other three books and combine them into a short text.

The first time a spelling error was made, the blank paper was immediately dissolved by the blood ink, and Zhang Quan new blank sheet of paper appeared on the table.

After three failed attempts, Han Dong finally knew the correct answer.

"Captain Lucius, you write it..."

Han Dong specially handed over the pen.

The text is spelled correctly: "Blood Sacrifice of the Votary"

Suddenly, a beam of red light shot directly from the surface of the white paper, reaching the ceiling of the library... During this process, the mark on the white paper seemed to become intertwined with Lucius, who wrote these words.

Due to the effect of the red light, the ceiling, which already had cracks, cracked completely.

A large amount of red water poured down, filling the library completely in a short time.

Using the buoyancy of the red water, the group climbed out of the library from the top, passed the Oldest One test, and arrived at the true "Scarlet Hall".

The library area where everyone Oldest One stayed was nothing more than a pool of blood.

The group is currently in what appears to be an ancient underground tomb.

The open area is a regular heptagon, with each wall corresponding to a stone door.

On the surface of the large stone gate that everyone was facing was an image of a woman making offerings.

However, the offerings held in her hands were shaped like 'empty grooves', as if everyone needed to fill in the offerings before the door would open and lead them into a deeper area.

These so-called offerings should be hidden inside the other six stone doors.

"The number of stone gates corresponds exactly to the number of people in our team... Let's try to see if we can move together."

In an alternate dimension where the dangers are uncertain and completely unknown, it is best to act collectively.

However.

The stone gate will only open when a single person approaches it.

Attempting to force open the door or have multiple people enter could lead to unexpected and dangerous consequences.

Since none of the team members were weak, Captain Lucius gave the order, "Split up and return immediately once you have the tribute."

Rumble!

The stone gate has sunk.

The six people each entered a dark passage corresponding to a different stone gate...

A friend came from afar and spent most of the day with me. I got home very late. Updates will definitely happen, just a little later.
