Chapter 415 New Secret Realm with 4 Colored Runes
"Wow, my good bro, you've prepared so much delicious food, including Inazuma's food..."
Araki Ichito exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the dazzling array of food on the table.
Xu Ning smiled, "I was mainly worried that you wouldn't be used to Liyue's food. It just so happens that my head chef studied at Munan Restaurant, so come and try it to see if it suits your taste."
Araki Ichito sat down casually, not forgetting to call out to Hisaki Shinobu.
"Ah Ren, you should try some too. It seems Xu Ning has a subordinate as capable as you!"
Hisagi Shinobu touched the violet melon hidden in his small backpack and sat down apologetically.
Yan Fei looked at the food on the table and said in surprise, "Many of these dishes are the signature dishes of Liuli Pavilion and Xinyue Pavilion. There are even new dishes from Wanmin Hall. It seems that your chef is very familiar with these three places."
Paimon, scooping food with a small spoon, said, "This guy has regular VIP rooms at two restaurants, and he treats Wanmintang like his canteen, so of course he's very familiar with it..."
Kong grabbed Paimon's little feet and pulled her back a bit from above the plate. "Don't get so close, and don't talk while you're eating."
Ye Lan gracefully picked up a few green vegetables with her chopsticks and chewed them, but her attention seemed to be focused on the distance.
When the group was halfway through their meal, Ye Lan suddenly changed her expression, her eyes turning sharply to Xu Ning, her face revealing an incredulous look.
Seeing Ye Lan's expression, Xu Ning felt relieved and chuckled, "No rush, let's eat and talk about it after we finish eating."
After everyone had finished eating, Xu Ning casually tossed the tables and chairs into the cave and handed them over to Qingyi to clean up.
"Alright, thanks for the treat, my good brother. I'll have more energy now that I'm full. It's a pity I didn't get to drink your wine; I've heard it's especially delicious..."
Before Araki Ichito could finish speaking, Hisaki Shinobu poked him from behind, "Boss, you've just eaten so much, you can't make any more requests."
Xu Ning had originally planned to serve everyone some wine, but firstly, the purified water from the stone hall had just been mixed in, and he didn't know if there would be any side effects.
Secondly, there is a ghost among this group. My drinking habit can kill evil spirits and demons, and I don't know if it will be harmful to the ghost.
But considering that even Mikoto Chiyo was fine after drinking it, this kid is also a Red Horned Oni, with a thinner bloodline, so he should be fine too.
"Brother Yidou, I'm not a petty person. After we get out of here, let's find a place to have a good drink."
"You said it! I'll let you try Ah Ren's roasted violet melon sometime... Ouch!"
As the group was chatting and laughing, Yan Fei's voice came from afar, "Ye Lan has found the way here!"
Araki Kazuto scratched his head in despair, "Ugh, it's her again? We need to work harder, Ushio, we can't let her leave us too far behind."
The path that Yelan discovered was originally a stone wall, but according to Yelan, it was just an illusion. Now that the spell has been broken, the path has naturally appeared.
At the end of this path, there was yet another portal.
"I don't know why, but as soon as I saw this door, I felt like we might come back. Xu Ning, are you going to stay here and wait for us this time?"
Araki Ichito turned to Xu Ning and asked.
Xu Ning laughed and said, "We found this path after we eliminated the wrong ones, and it's hidden so well. Maybe it's a way out. I'll go with you. Besides, I've never seen a cave that can rotate like this before!"
The swirling, winding cave that Xu Ning mentioned was the same cave that everyone had just entered. Arataki Ichito insisted that the reason they had turned back was because the swirling, winding space inside had confused them.
However, according to Ye Lan, the space they entered this time was not like the symmetrical room from top to bottom and left to right last time, so it was very likely that it would not rotate.
This space is like an open box, divided into five planes. There are four walls around it, each with a chessboard-like surface marked with strange symbols.
On the platform where they were, there were four dim, strange characters carved into the ground in four directions.
The four characters are different in shape and color, namely yellow, purple, blue and green.
Xu Ning carefully examined the four walls. "The characters on each wall are a different color, but they correspond exactly to the colors on the ground. We need to find the corresponding characters and activate them to trigger some kind of mechanism here."
Ye Lan nodded and said, "There is a teleportation portal in each of the four directions of this chessboard we are standing on. It should be the path to those four walls. It seems that we need to split into four groups and work together at the same time."
Araki Ichito laughed and said, "Then let's see who can activate their side of the characters first!"
Xu Ning carefully observed the dim characters on the ground. "Look at the color of these four runes. If yellow represents the rock attribute, then it would be best to send the two members of the Ara-Taki Faction. Ichidou is the rock attribute, and Shinobu can help him remember the characters to help him find it."
"Then Yanfei and I will go to the blue area that represents the water element," Yelan said calmly.
Xu Ning nodded, "Perfect. Kong and Paimon will go to the purple area that represents the lightning element, and I'll figure out a way to deal with the remaining green area."
“You’re all alone, so why don’t I let Ah Chou keep you company? Ah Chou, what do you say? Ah Chou agrees.”
Xu Ning couldn't refuse Arataki Ichidou's kindness, so he reached out and patted A-Chou's thick head, smiling as he agreed.
All four groups memorized their character appearances and then headed towards the portals to their respective areas.
The light flashed four times in a row, and the four groups of people appeared on the wall almost simultaneously.
After Xu Ning appeared in the green area, he did not look at the symbols on the ground immediately, but instead turned his attention to the other three groups.
Everyone else was also looking in their direction, and they all burst into laughter.
Xu Ning knew perfectly well that he had been teleported to this chessboard, although both his senses and his actions were no different from his daily life.
But in reality, everyone was walking back and forth on the wall with their bodies parallel to the ground.
On the left wall, a character shining with golden light has appeared, indicating that the Ara-Taki faction has begun to search seriously.
Then, on the right and overhead walls, a light blue and a thunder purple rune lit up.
"Looks like everyone's got a lot of energy going on. Ah Chou, let's go find our characters too. Otherwise, it'll look bad if we just wait around while everyone else finishes."
