Chapter 993 Another Slate
The journey out of Demon Mountain was uneventful, and no one accidentally stumbled into the trial. Although some adventurers did come, most of them did not show hostility.
The few unfriendly ones were no threat to Qin Yu and the little witch's powerful force. They didn't even have a chance to fight. Mo Shisan taught them a lesson.
Without other interference factors, the four of them only took half the time to get out of the core area of Demon Mountain.
When they passed Deliang Village on the way, Qin Yu went to see Jianjian's family, but through the conversation, the other party seemed to be unaware of the true identities of Jianjian and others.
Qin Yu did not go into detail about how they disguised their identities. After leaving some money, he left Deliang Village and returned to Tongbai City.
Then the little witch sent an order to the intelligence network of the witch club to find clues to the stone wall puzzle. All that was left to do was wait.
Now that they have returned to Tongbai City and experienced the hardships of life and death in the Demon Mountain, the relationship between them is completely different from before.
Especially Qin Yu and the little witch. The little witch no longer treated him with a condescending and deliberately distant attitude.
Although not as sweet as they were in Tianyu Star, her overall attitude was much better. Sometimes she would even secretly ask Qin Yu out to play alone, avoiding Mo Shisan and Prince Qingping.
After waiting for nearly a month, the Witch Guild finally sent a message - they actually found a clue!
Someone said that they had seen a stone slab that was similar to the description, and it was near Tongbai City!
Then the little witch led people to find the place where the stone tablets were collected. It was the home of a large landlord in a town near Tongbai City.
The landlord's ancestors were also mountain dwellers who made a living by hunting and collecting herbs from the Demon Mountain. There was a large ancestral stone tablet in the house, which was said to have been found by the ancestors of the family from the Demon Mountain.
Because they had never seen the words on the stone tablet before, they thought it was a decree from the gods, so they kept it at home, hoping it would bless their family.
As a result, since they got the stone slab, their family's life has really become better and better, and they finally became a well-known landlord.
When they arrived at the landlord's compound, the landlord's family was being held by the little witch's men and trembling. Although they had never heard of the Witch Society, this group of people looked ferocious and carried weapons. At first glance, they were people who could not be provoked.
The stone slab was very large, almost the same size as the one Qin Yu and his friends had seen in the sea of flowers. The landlord had built a special ancestral hall to place the stone slab.
The little witch ordered her people to bring the stone slab back to Tongbai City. Before leaving, the landlords wanted to ask for money as compensation, but the little witch smashed the big pillar in the house with one palm, and they immediately shut up.
After the slate was brought back, the little witch ordered people to find a large room that was spacious enough, and then set up guards nearby to prevent anyone from approaching.
She called Qin Yu, Mo Shisan and Prince Qingping over, and the four of them gathered around the stone slab to study it.
Within two minutes, Mo Shisan and Prince Qingping shook their heads and stepped back to the side of the little witch.
Demon Thirteen bowed his head to the little witch and said, "Your Highness, I don't recognize the things on the stone slab at all."
Prince Qingping was also a little frustrated. "Me too, these characters are like heavenly books, arranged in no regular pattern. I can't understand them, I can't understand them!"
Qin Yu wanted to put his face on the stone slab at this moment. It was obvious that he should have gained something.
After a while, Qin Yu took a long breath and slowly walked back to the center of the room.
"How is it? Is it different from the last time?" the little witch asked impatiently.
Qin Yu frowned and smiled: "If you want to talk about the difference, there is definitely one, and it's not small, but..."
The little witch immediately became excited, "But what? You said you can solve the above questions?!"
"The source of the question here is definitely the same as the last one, but the subject of this exam is different..." Qin Yu scratched his head.
The other three were confused. The little witch didn't care and said directly, "What subject is it? Just tell me how long it will take you to finish it!"
Qin Yu thought about it and said, "It can be done quickly, but I can't guarantee it will be correct."
"Okay, then you can start working quickly. If you need any support, just tell me directly." The little witch urged Qin Yu to start working. Qin Yu asked for a set of tables, chairs, paper and pen.
He stayed in the room alone to study the topic, while others stood by the door waiting to receive instructions at any time.
Last time, the slate was full of math problems, but this time - it was physics problems!
Qin Yu thought it was funny. He was born in the martial arts world, but he was studying natural science here. This was unscientific.
The physics on this slate is about electricity and mechanics. It's not too difficult, probably at the high school level, and even has some junior high school parts.
"Fortunately, this fellow's education level is limited to this level. If he had given me any undergraduate-level questions, I would have been at a loss."
Qin Yu couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, he studied science when he was in school, so he was also good at physics.
With the experience of solving the questions the first time, Qin Yu was very careful this time. He must wait until all the questions were solved on the rough paper before copying them onto the stone slab.
But it was still the same problem—many formulas or simple algorithms were forgotten, and Qin Yu had to figure them out again.
This took several days, and I wrote down all the answers to the questions on the slate on scrap paper.
Then Qin Yu excitedly opened the door and called in the three people waiting outside. In the past few days, they had not left the room except for eating and sleeping.
"Is it finished?" The little witch came to the table and looked at the scattered draft papers on the table. She didn't know what the result was.
Qin Yu nodded, "Yes, I have done all the questions, but not all of them are correct."
Prince Qingping picked up a piece of draft paper, looked at what was written on it again and again, and couldn't help shaking his head and said, "Brother Qin, what are you writing? Where did you learn these things?"
"Uh... I came across this when I was a kid in school in my hometown, and I have a good memory, so I still remember it now."
Prince Qingping asked again: "Where is your hometown? Aren't you a human? Could it be that the person who left this puzzle was a powerful human? No, that's not right. I know almost all the famous masters of the human race, but I haven't heard of anyone who has done anything outstanding in the world of demons."
"It may not be a human expert. Maybe it is a legacy left by an earlier elder, and my clan happened to learn it!" Qin Yu hurriedly found an excuse to fool the prince. Otherwise, if Prince Qingping continued to ask questions, he would not be able to answer.
Now that everyone was present, Qin Yu planned to copy the answers onto the slate.
Everyone stood behind him with bated breath, watching him start writing. For a moment, everyone was so nervous that they couldn't move, waiting for a miracle to happen.
Qin Yu quickly copied down the process of solving all the questions. With the experience of the first time, this time he only copied the answers without solving them immediately, and he no longer had to worry about running out of time!
