However, while they were still tangled up, Chen Mo no longer paid attention to them and directly flew towards the rift with Evia.
Seeing this, the villagers of Crow Ridge Village also found it hard to say anything more; they only managed to utter a "please be careful" as Chen Mo’s figure gradually disappeared into the rift.
Chen Mo waved a hand to indicate that it was all right, and motioned for them to disperse, before diving completely into the crack world.
As Chen Mo’s body passed through the rift, the scene before his eyes suddenly opened up expansively.
At this mont, he was within a large array.
This large array was divided into twelve positions around its periter.
Each position was marked with an animal symbol.
Chen Mo looked at them one by one.
To his surprise, they seed so familiar upon being observed.
Aren’t these the twelve Chinese zodiac animals?
Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig — the twelve animals were depicted perfectly.
You could easily recognize them at a glance.
But what exactly did these twelve animals represent around this large array?
This indeed made Chen Mo quite curious.
At this mont, Chen Mo also noticed that although they had traversed through the rift to reach this place, upon turning to look back, all around was empty, with no sign of the rift’s shadow.
This ant that while it was easy to enter this place, finding the way out was a complete mystery.
Chen Mo inspected the scene closely, but apart from the twelve zodiac positions, he couldn’t find any other areas for interaction.
"Since that’s the case, let’s try stepping on them! Since they are the twelve zodiac signs, starting with the rat should be fine, right?"
With this thought, Chen Mo led Evia to step onto the rat position.
As they stepped on it, the rat position instantly lit up.
Originally, Chen Mo thought they might be teleported to so location upon stepping on a point, but it turned out to be just a simple illumination.
He was dumbfounded; could it be that they only needed to illuminate them in sequence?
That would be too easy.
However, Chen Mo soon noticed that the arrangent of the zodiac positions was extrely chaotic.
Their sequence was not the usual Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig order.
Which ant that without knowledge related to the twelve zodiac animals, anyone seeing them for the first ti would fall into endless confusion.
To accurately activate all twelve animals in sequence from the first to the twelfth was incredibly difficult.
After all, it would be blind guessing — how many combinations could there be?
Just thinking about it was daunting.
Fortunately, Chen Mo had the advantage of information.
Next, he walked directly to the Ox position.
As he and Evia stepped onto the Ox position, sure enough, it was also illuminated.
Seeing this, Chen Mo’s actions beca swift.
Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon...
He stepped on them in sequence, and before long, he reached the final Pig position.
As the Pig position lit up, a teleport portal suddenly appeared at the center of the array.
Seeing this, without hesitation, Chen Mo pulled Evia and entered the portal.
But as soon as they entered the teleport portal, in the next second, Chen Mo felt as if he was still in the sa place.
Because even though they had crossed through the teleport portal, the world behind it was almost no different from the previous one.
Except that the twelve zodiac positions around the array had turned into only five, there were no other changes.
And these five positions were extrely familiar to Chen Mo as well.
These five positions were actually the five elents characters.
They read: tal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth.
Aside from the five elents characters, the center of the array suddenly lit up with a "克" (overcoming) character.
Seeing this character, Chen Mo didn’t need to think much to understand.
Clearly, this ti required him to step according to the sequence of the five elents overcoming each other.
He imdiately stepped towards the nearest Earth position.
But upon stepping on it, nothing changed for the Earth position.
Seeing this, Chen Mo moved to the tal position, which ranks first among the five elents.
Sure enough, this ti the position was directly activated.
"It only gave an ’overcoming’ hint, didn’t say it had to start with the tal attribute!"
Chen Mo mocked the designer of this space, and then began to step towards the Wood position according to the overcoming order of the five elents.
In the five elents, tal overcos Wood, Wood overcos Earth, Earth overcos Water, Water overcos Fire, Fire overcos tal.
As Chen Mo stepped onto the Wood position, it naturally lit up as well.
Seeing this, the next Earth, Water, and Fire positions were traversed quickly by Chen Mo.
As all positions were illuminated, they suddenly all went out again.
And the "克" character at the center of the array suddenly transford into a "生" (generating) character.
"The designer is truly devious. If soone who knew nothing entered this place, it’s as if they wanted them to grow old and die in here.
After overcoming, they want us to do generating."
Since he knew about overcoming, naturally Chen Mo wouldn’t be unaware of the generating order of the five elents.
Considering the previous situation, if they had to start with tal again, then the sequence would be: tal generates Water, Water generates Wood, Wood generates Fire, Fire generates Earth, Earth generates tal!
With the rule morized, the puzzle was actually not challenging anymore.
However, Chen Mo was a bit curious about the origin of the owner of this crack world.
Why did they possess cultural knowledge from China on his Earth?
