"After all, you're the one who always unravels these puzzles, so bear with it this time. See if you can solve this mystery."
Upon hearing this, Dai Xiaomei wanted to refuse, but everyone was looking at her, and she seemed to have no choice but to stay and solve the riddle.
"Alright, I'll try, but I don't know if I can solve it myself. But don't put all your hopes on me; you need to put in some effort too."
After she finished speaking, Zhou Niannian, Jiang Fan, and Yao quickly nodded.
They soon found that all they saw gave them headaches, with no clues whatsoever. In the end, they all sat on the ground, waiting for Dai Xiaomei to solve the puzzle.
Fortunately, Dai Xiaomei knew what dinosaur script looked like, so compared to ancient texts, although there were some differences, they weren't too significant.
Seeing the puzzle above, Zhou Niannian continued to analyze it and could largely understand the meaning.
"I suspect that even the people here can't understand these ancient characters. They simply know the pattern and how to open it, but for them, it's just a series of symbols."
"However, I seem to grasp a bit of its true meaning. It shouldn't be difficult to open this mechanism by understanding its true meaning."
After saying this, Dai Xiaomei turned her head to see what the people behind her were doing. She found that they were all asleep, waiting for her to solve the riddle.
"Why don't you help me solve this riddle? If I have to solve it alone, how can I possibly finish it?"
Hearing this, Jiang Fan was startled awake and immediately sat up, looking intently at the puzzle.
"It's not bad, but I feel like I can't understand it."
"This immense undertaking can only be resolved by you; we can't do it, Dai Xiaomei."
Jiang Fan on the side was quite embarrassed. It wasn't that he didn't want to do it himself, but he genuinely couldn't understand anything. Facing this, he just got a headache from looking at it, so he could only let Dai Xiaomei handle it.
If it were a normal riddle, that would be one thing, but this riddle was no ordinary riddle. The contents on it were not modern human writing.
If Dai Xiaomei hadn't possessed the skill to recognize dinosaur script, she probably wouldn't have had any clue about this riddle either.
Dai Xiaomei on the side was also quite helpless. After hearing this, she realized it seemed to be just as Jiang Fan had said – only she could solve this riddle.
"Alright then, since that's the case, I'll continue to solve this riddle. However, I already have a general idea of the story."
Bala on the side heard this and was very curious.
"Dai Xiaomei, can you tell me first what this story is about? I'm a little curious. After all, this is the world I currently inhabit, and it's normal to want to understand its history."
Bala on the side was afraid of wasting the time of the people around him, and he felt quite awkward asking this question.
"Of course, I'll first explain the story to you."
Hearing this, Dai Xiaomei put away the magnifying glass she was holding and then said to Bala beside her.
"This world wasn't like this in the beginning, and the people who died weren't here. This land of death wasn't a land of death from the start."
"It was originally a very normal place, but someone interfered and confined you here, which is why it became such a world."
"As far as I know, it was a place for a great figure before. Then, he used a mysterious power here to create this land of death, which is why you can survive here. And the pessimistic emotions are precisely because this great figure was disappointed with this place."
"However, I don't know why he had such thoughts. Currently, the story on this is basically about this general plot."
"But the reason you were able to open this door is entirely due to your good luck. You found a key point in the riveted structure of this door, which is why you were able to open it."
"Theoretically, this part of the power was originally kept by that great figure himself, not for you to use. So, the fact that you can use this part of the power is entirely due to your good luck."
Upon hearing this, Bala on the side nodded slowly, finally understanding what it meant.
"So that's how it is. No wonder the power here feels so out of sync with all of us. So that's the story. Now I roughly understand."
Hearing this, Jiang Fan on the side quickly nodded.
He was indeed not very interested in solving this riddle, but listening to these stories was somewhat interesting to him.
"So, how should we unlock this riveted structure now?"
Hearing this, Dai Xiaomei on the side shook her head helplessly.
"It hasn't been solved yet. Give me a little more time, and I should be able to solve it. Don't worry."
Seeing everyone's anticipation, Dai Xiaomei successfully took on the task of solving the riddle and diligently analyzed it. And she analyzed it very quickly.
In less than a while, she drew a rough maze diagram on the ground. This maze diagram seemed to be derived from the information in the characters above. This maze diagram could correspond to some patterns on the riveted structure.
Then, Dai Xiaomei asked them to reassemble these patterns. Soon, these patterns formed a very peculiar map.
"If I'm not mistaken, we should be able to find the exit by following the route on this map."
"If I'm not mistaken, this exit is the clue to unlocking this structure."
Hearing this, Bala on the side, relying on his memory, kept searching. Then, holding a small wooden block, he searched.
"This thing, is it a key? How did you get it? You wouldn't have attacked your own people, would you?"
