Three people's confusion is quite normal.

Rune Technology, though they know it, they have no idea how to actually use it.

They only know that this thing is a peculiar technology left by ancestors of an ancient race, capable of unleashing incredible power.

However.

Many experts and scholars have researched and concluded that humans cannot use Rune Technology.

Yet Baiyu can now openly use the power of Rune Technology, which makes people suspicious and somewhat creepy.

They even wonder.

If Baiyu has been controlled by the ancient race.

"Damn it, what are you thinking? Even humans can use Rune Technology." Baiyu looked at the three, feeling speechless.

Actually.

If Ole hadn't told him, he wouldn't know about this thing called Rune Technology.

"Humans? How do humans use it?"

Wulin looked utterly perplexed.

They had never seen any precedent of humans using Rune Technology.

Jiang Han was equally bewildered.

He also had never seen anyone capable of using Rune Technology.

But Grandmaster Long, standing beside them, was deep in thought.

Baiyu continued, "Using Rune Technology isn't difficult; you just need to find the Sea of the Soul, and from there receive the gift of 'Flint,' then you'll be able to learn how to use Rune Technology."

What Flint gives people.

Is the power of learning and creation.

After Baiyu received it, he indeed felt his learning ability greatly improved, but he still didn't quite understand the creation part.

After explaining to Jiang Han and Wulin, not only did they not understand, but they became even more confused.

What is Flint?

Is it a firestone?

What is the Sea of the Soul?

Being Imperial soldiers, they hardly know much about this.

Moreover.

Even if they wanted to learn more, there seemed to be no channels available.

These knowledge were clearly taboo upon taboo in the Imperial, and anyone not involved in this area wouldn't be allowed access.

On the other hand, Grandmaster Long was frowning at the moment, pondering, "I've heard about what Baiyu said. However, I only know a bit, not thoroughly. It's very difficult for the average person to use Rune Technology."

Upon hearing Grandmaster Long say this, Jiang Han and Wulin didn't continue asking.

It's very hard for the average person to use.

This was obviously Grandmaster Long's subtle way of saying they couldn't use it.

Although the two were in distress now, they once were people with positions and faces, and wouldn't humiliate themselves.

"No worries, if we encounter such Temple along the way, you can try. These barbarians can use Rune Technology, I believe you all can as well.

By the way.

Be very careful with your actions later on, according to my judgment, dying here might mean really dying in the real world."

Baiyu reorganized the team, ready to set out.

He remembered Senpao's words, this was a test, and the opponent seemed to hold the successor's identity in high regard.

Meaning.

He is now in the middle of a test.

If he can't pass it, he'll die here.

The other three, upon hearing Baiyu say this, turned serious, faced with life-or-death stakes, they dared not to be careless.

Baiyu didn't continue speaking.

He casually killed an unknown beast, cooked it, and after eating, the four continued on their journey.

Baiyu's thought was to find that group of buildings.

He instinctively felt that the way to leave here should be related to that group of buildings Grandmaster Long mentioned earlier.

But Baiyu felt.

That complex should also be in this jungle.

After a short rest, the four began to move in the opposite direction of the barbarian gathering place.

The scenery along the way was lush and green. πšπ•£πžπ—²π°π•–π›π§π• π•§πšŽπš•.πœπš˜π—Ί

Occasionally poisonous snakes and various animals would appear and quickly disappear.

In the rainforest.

Poisonous insects and ants are extremely deadly threats.

The four's physical condition is similar to ordinary peoples, so they're all trying to avoid accidents as much as possible.

They didn't walk for long.

Baiyu and the others found a deserted Temple.

The Divine Spirits worshipped inside obviously didn't resemble those worshipped by humans, many of them had shells.

Such appearance.

Obvious are Stone Shell type and Capsule Shell type.

Mortals often find it hard to know the specific appearance of Divine Spirit, but they usually have a concrete image in their minds.

That is.

The image they think the Divine Spirit should look like.

So these sculptures are the image of Divine Spirits in people's minds.

The Divine Spirit that can be sculpted into such an image, the sculptor must have been an ancient race.

The entire Temple was filled with a sense of ruin.

The low ceiling above was riddled with large holes, rubble scattered within the Temple, ivy climbed the surrounding walls, and the ground was covered in moss.

This place had become home to various small animals.

"It's this kind of Temple, where I acquired the Rune 'Fire,' it's quite similar, except that Temple was amidst yellow sand."

Baiyu had the team stop.

If they could acquire another Rune, their chances of survival would greatly increase.

The four looked towards the center of the Temple.

There was a stone pillar identical to that in the barbarian settlments, carved with unfamiliar writing.

But here there was only one pillar, while the barbarian settlement had three.

The four basically understood why the barbarians could use Rune Technology, they were clearly relying on these pillars.

Jiang Han and others approached the pillar.

Though they didn't recognize the writing on it, yet coming closer, they could vaguely sense the power within.

Rune Technology.

A civilization comparable to ancient human technology.

Up till now, no one knows how these technologies were developed.

"How do we use this thing?"

Jiang Han looked at the pillar before him, unable to help but ask.

Baiyu didn't hesitate, following the method he used in the desert before, putting his hand on the pillar.

Immediately.

He immersed his mind.

Started perceiving the writing on the pillar earnestly.

One second.

Two seconds.

Time passed continuously.

The other three faintly heard the sound of the barbarian team coming from afar to capture them.

"Hurry Baiyu, if it's not working, let's give up for now. Survival is the priority." Jiang Han anxiously said.

"Don't rush, almost there." Baiyu stood at the pillar, completely still.

Then.

Cries of 'Ula' approached.

Barbarians like locusts charged from the bushes and forest towards the four.

The three's faces changed dramatically.

At that moment, a glowing Rune peeled off from the pillar's surface, floating into Baiyu's hand.

Then he raised one hand.

The flat soil suddenly produced two earthen walls, enclosing all the barbarians within.

This Rune.

Is called "Earth."

As Baiyu mastered it, he understood its meaning.

And its power.

Is clearly the manipulation of earth!
