Chapter 3543: Chapter 3535: The Secret of the Stone Tablet

The others nodded.

They thought the same way.

Lin Yi: "We shouldn’t worry about the material. Even if we make guesses, we can’t decode it. Focus on the drawings."

Sui Qiang: "Could there be a hidden layer inside, with other things inside?"

Shao Jianfeng: "I remember in ’Yitian Slaying Dragon Records’, there were hidden layers inside the two weapons."

Lin Yi: "That’s possible, but that’s the last resort."

Yu Siying: "That’s simple. Just scan it to see if there’s an inner layer."

Xiao Bing: "That reminds me! I’ll find a computer and scan the patterns."

Xiao Bing left and went to her study room.

The rest listened to her tapping away at the computer, waiting for the results.

Xiao Bing: "Lin Bro, this pattern looks a bit like a map of the Yucatan Peninsula."

Yu Siying: "Yucatan Peninsula? That should be in Mehico, right?"

Xiao Bing: "The most famous thing there is the Mayan ruins."

Hearing this, everyone became spirited.

In previous speculations, the Mayan civilization and several other unexplained civilizations are likely branches of the Tilia Island civilization.

So there’s definitely a connection between them.

"Are you sure you’re not mistaken?" Lin Yi asked.

"The comparison shows a 94% similarity. The red dot marks are exactly where the Mayan ruins are." Xiao Bing said:

"However, there are still discrepancies in the image; I’ll come over and scan on-site."

"Okay."

"Boss, where did you get this thing?" Luo Qi asked.

"Don’t ask about that for now. Prepare yourselves; there’s a mission ahead."

"Then we won’t stay home. Let’s gather in Zhong Hai," Sui Qiang said.

"No rush, we don’t know the specifics yet. Wait for Xiao Bing to come, then we’ll talk. Dismiss the meeting."

After ending the video meeting, Lin Yi opened his computer and found the map of the Yucatan Peninsula.

Upon comparing, it indeed had a high similarity.

If nothing unexpected happens, the indicated location should be the Mayan ruins.

Sitting on the chair, Lin Yi held the stone slab, repeatedly examining it.

This sudden reward only suggested one problem.

There might be something important in the Mayan ruins.

But there were other clues on the slab that couldn’t be figured out.

Given the present situation, even with the reward, there was no clear way to start.

Even if they went there, it would be difficult to find an entry point.

About three hours later, Xiao Bing arrived in Zhong Hai.

Bringing her computer and scanning equipment, she met Lin Yi at Jiuzhou Pavilion.

Holding the slab, Xiao Bing looked at it for a while.

She couldn’t figure anything out for the longest time.

"This thing is too rough; there’s just a marker on the ruins. It would be like finding a needle in a haystack once we’re there."

"That’s my dilemma too. We can confirm there’s something important inside, but we don’t know how to proceed."

"Let’s scan it first to see if there’s a new discovery."

Xiao Bing scanned the patterns on the slab clearly and input the data into the computer.

Lin Yi sat on the sofa, yawning while awaiting the results.

"Hmm, Lin Bro, something seems off."

"What’s up?"

"When the image is enlarged, there’s a very deep and small dot at the center of these three little red dots, roughly four pixels wide."

Lin Yi stood up and moved behind Xiao Bing.

With his eyesight, he easily spotted the three pixel points.

But even so, it still didn’t prove anything.

The two fell into contemplation, but they were sure that such a design must hold some significance.

Suddenly, Lin Yi’s eyes lit up.

"Merge the map of the Yucatan Peninsula with this image and check what places these pixel points match."

"Got it."

Xiao Bing overlaid the map of the Yucatan Peninsula with the scanned image.

The two merged almost perfectly, with the positions of the three pixel points found to align with points on the map.

"What are these places?"

"Chichen Itza Pyramid, Uxmal Pyramid, Kaba Pyramid—three different locations of the Mayan ruins."

Looking at the image on the computer.

Xiao Bing fell into thought, muttering to herself:

"The markers on the slab all point to pyramids, possibly indicating that the pyramids hide the Mayans’ secrets."

"It might not be the Mayans, but the Natives."

"Lin Bro, do you mean the Mayans are the Natives?"

"Yes, just like Death Hill, the people living there were originally the Natives from the island."

Lin Yi believed that if the Mayans were not related to the Natives, the system wouldn’t have given them this slab as a reward.

This also indirectly confirms the connection between the Mayans and the Natives.

The hidden secrets were also related to the Natives.

"Let’s not focus on who they are for now. What’s certain is that these pyramids might hold mysteries. We need to understand their significance first."

"Generally speaking, pyramids have three meanings: first, they’re tombs for emperors."

"Second is eternal life; they believe pyramids’ steps are the stairs to heaven."

"Third, it’s a symbol of power, proving their supreme dominion."

"From these perspectives, the meaning of eternal life seems more plausible."

"Exactly."

"But could the secret of eternal life really exist there?"

"No way," Lin Yi said with a smile:

"If it did exist, Earth would’ve been taken over by them long ago."

"True enough."

"Can you enlarge it more? Check if the pixel points align differently."

Xiao Bing tried operating a few more times.

"After enlarging, it’s still the same, pointing exactly to the three pyramids."

Xiao Bing opened a bottle of water, taking a big gulp.

"Lin Bro, this is really tricky. I feel like my brain’s itching."

"What’s up?"

"Three pyramids marked at once—it’s all over the place. This task is tough."

"Indeed."

Lin Yi muttered to himself.

That was also what he was worried about.

It’s now certain there’s something important in the Mayan ruins.

But previous missions were always in a single location.

Now three have emerged.

Could what they’re searching for be scattered across these three places?

What a difficult task.

"Lin Bro, do we need to scan the internal structure? Check for hidden layers?"

"If there was a hidden layer, there would be external traces, so it’s unlikely."

Based on his understanding of the system,

Lin Yi thought it wouldn’t make things so mysterious.

Now that they’ve found the answer, the chance of a hidden layer is even lower.

"Inform the others, gather at the Yucatan Peninsula in three days. We won’t go together this time."
