The crystal light enters the dark spiritual world, like a starry sky suddenly appearing in the darkness.
As soon as these rays of light appeared, they immediately headed towards Bai Mo's summoning star sea.
The light merges into the already bright sea of stars and becomes inconspicuous.
Bai Mo only saw the entire 2401 stars in his summoning star sea flickering slightly, and then there was no movement.
After searching carefully for a moment, there were no other obvious changes except that the connection between myself and the summoning contract of Shui Qilin became a little stronger.
Bai Mo opened his eyes and looked at Fengling.
Feng Ling is also suspended there without any abnormalities.
“Did you feel anything was wrong?”
He asked, “If there is anything abnormal, say it.”
“Hey~” Fengling He shook his head, indicating that he didn't feel anything at all just now.
Seeing this, Bai Mo felt a little relieved,
put away the bronze mask in his hand and the bronze fragments on the ground, then met Lingling at the entrance, and the two of them walked out of the Colosseum together go.
While walking, Bai Mo was thinking about the battle just now. He always felt that the fighting method of the bronze giant was a bit familiar.
"What are you thinking about?" Lingling said.
Hearing this, Bai Mo came back to his senses, "I wonder if I will be surrounded by an army of bronze beasts later. If I don't get the title of Beast King, I will have to use another way to break through."
Lingling nodded slightly, understanding what he said, and then said: "It's just a little waste of magic energy. Why do you want to put those bronze fragments away? What's their use?"
With her understanding of Bai Mo, she understood. This person is not someone who likes to pick up trash.
He might not touch this kind of thing normally.
"There is a special energy on those bronze fragments. It is very pure and can restore magic energy."
Hearing this, Lingling's eyes lit up and she nodded.
"That really should be put away."
Bai Mo gestured to the Colosseum where they were.
"It's probably no coincidence that the bronze mask appears here. Lingling, our eyes can't just be on the bronze tree."
When they came in before, they thought the bronze mask was the flying tree. Went to the deepest ancient bronze tree.
But that doesn’t seem to be the case now. This mask can be in the Colosseum. Why do they think that the other masks must be on top of the ancient bronze tree.
Lingling had naturally thought of everything Bai Mo could think of.
In fact, she had been speculating on this matter while Bai Mo was fighting.
If Bai Mo didn't ask, she still had to take the initiative.
But now it seems that although my partner is not as smart, invincible, innocent and cute as myself.
But he is not the type to become a fool when he grows up.
"It's really not possible. Our initial idea was wrong, but it's not wrong either."
Lingling crossed her arms, but unfortunately she couldn't stand out anything. She just continued:
"I I have thought about what is special about this Colosseum and why the mask fell here and not elsewhere."
"But if you contact the ancient bronze tree, it is actually easy to guess. The Colosseum is the largest building in the outer city and is also a landmark building. "
"The ancient bronze tree is the landmark building of the entire city. This is what they have in common.
So our initial thoughts were not entirely wrong. There is probably a mask on the ancient bronze tree, but there are other masks, perhaps at other landmarks in the city. "
Bai Mo nodded slightly, confirming Lingling's guess, smiled and gave a thumbs up and said:
"As expected of you, your mind is spinning so fast. ”
Lingling raised her chin, but her face became serious.
At this moment, they had arrived outside the Colosseum.
You can see ancient rock-bronze beasts in all directions. Some of them are lying on the streets, while others are squatting on buildings.
The buildings here, which are larger than normal houses, can withstand the weight of these ancient rock-bronze beasts without any problem.
The densely packed ancient beasts are each more than ten meters long. Some are like majestic tigers, some are like cunning hounds, and some are like flying eagles in the sky.
These ancient bronze beasts extend from the front to both sides until they are beyond the range they can see.
In the front, two larger monarch-level ancient rock bronze beasts Blocked directly at the door.
If it weren't for the huge door of the Colosseum, the two of them might not have been able to see the scene behind them.
One of the Monarch Bronze Beasts was in tatters and badly beaten, while the other one shone with might and domineering.
The moment Bai Mo and Lingling stepped out of the Colosseum, their stiff eyeballs immediately turned around and stared at them.
Immediately afterwards, the army of copper beasts from all directions suddenly turned their heads and stared at them.
Bai Mo had some expectations and worries in his heart, so he looked at these ancient bronze beasts with dull eyes.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
There was no movement at all. These bronze beasts seemed to have turned into bronze statues again at this moment, without any movement.
If their eyes weren't all facing him, I'm afraid Bai Mo would have thought that these guys had turned into statues.
‘It seems that the title of Beast King has been obtained, and it is very useful. ’
Bai Mo and Lingling looked at each other without speaking, but they both saw each other’s thoughts.
So the two of them stopped staying here and walked forward.
As Bai Mo advanced, the army of ancient rock-bronze beasts that originally blocked the way forward slowly separated.
It looks like an army waiting for the marshal to review.
The Colosseum is not very close to the gate from the outer city to the inner city.
Before, he had to teleport with Lingling, but now he walked by leisurely.
The bronze beasts on both sides retreated automatically. Looking at this scene, Bai Mo had not experienced that secretly refreshing feeling for a long time.
Walking to the city gate to the inner city, Bai Mo came to the golden carousel again.
The wind spirit and the big orange are summoned, and the two beasts and one person are located at the sharp corners of the turntable.
Looked at Daju, who was walking on his back legs and resting his front legs on the handle of the turntable.
Bai Mo wanted to laugh inexplicably and wanted to take pictures. It was really difficult for a cat to do this.
After all, not every cat is like Night Rakshasa, and has little leather boots and little gloves.
He quickly gathered his emotions and said to the two summoned beasts:
"Ready, let's start."
Feng Ling and Daju responded in unison. With a sound, he and Bai Mo took steps together.
The first time was unsuccessful, Feng Ling moved a little faster.
The second time they didn't succeed either
The third time, with the help of the wind spirit's psychic magic, they finally succeeded.
It is said that the souls are connected through the contract, but unfortunately to achieve 100% coordination and synchronization, except for robots, I am afraid that ordinary tacit understanding will not have any effect at all.
The same is true even if some twins come.
But fortunately they succeeded.
Bai Mo also realized the weight of what Lingling mentioned before coming here: this is a civilization that values beast control.
In his opinion, this test is simply a pain in the ass, although it can cultivate the tacit understanding between the summoner and the summoned beast.
But this requirement is too high.
Perhaps this is why beast control is so popular here.
Bai Mo just suddenly remembered that the bronze giant and the four bronze beasts in the Colosseum can be understood as a super-level mage and his four summoned beasts.
As for where the four ordinary summoning mages came from, he didn't know.
He just suddenly guessed that if those bronze beasts were the summoned beasts of the bronze giant,
then those outside the Colosseum, right?
Originally, they were all located on their respective houses, either as statues on the eaves, or as stone carvings in front of the door, to name a few.
But in the end they all became bronze beasts. These bronze beasts all came down from private houses.
A house has an owner, so do the beasts that are decorated and shaped on the house by the owner also have an owner?
If you think about it this way, then in the entire outer city, almost every household is a summoner, or has a summoner.
Such a ratio is simply terrifying.
Bai Mo was thinking wildly, but Lingling's words brought his thoughts back.
"Bai Mo, we need to find an altar in the inner city."
Hearing this, Bai Mo was stunned, "Altar, why?"
"The altar can be said to be the second symbol of this civilization. It has been heavily described in the pictures and texts of Yelang Kingdom, just like the Great Colosseum. "
"In other words, the second mask is probably on the altar?"
As soon as Bai Mo finished speaking, Lingling nodded.
So, he subconsciously used sound waves to detect the whole city.
Maybe it's because he got the title of Beast King. Although the buildings in the inner city are more impressive.
There are more statues and portraits on the houses, but none of these things have the idea of breaking through the dimensional wall and coming out.
The sound waves swept across the city, and a large blank appeared in Bai Mo's perception.
These blanks were all private houses or other buildings.
"There are means here to prevent dimensional detection."
Bai Mo muttered to himself, but when his eyes fell in front of him, he was suddenly startled.
"Bai Mo, the altar is right in front, we don't have to look for it."
On this straight road leading to the central city, a few kilometers in front of them, an altar was pulled out. Rise from the ground.
Before, it was far away, so I didn’t pay much attention to it. Now that I got closer, I could clearly see that it was an altar.
A huge altar that directly cuts off the road.
"What's going on? Can we go inside only after passing the altar?"
What kind of design is this? If there are residents in this city, do they have to go to the altar every time they pass by this section of Central Avenue? Go pay your respects?
Going to the altar requires preparing sacrifices, especially in ancient times when the mind was not yet enlightened.
What is the difference between this and building a toll station directly on the city's main road!
Bai Mo's face was full of question marks, and so was Lingling.
But even after looking at it, they couldn't come to a conclusion, so the two of them quickened their pace and walked towards the altar.
This altar is about one and a half meters tall and is in the shape of an octagon. The eight outer surfaces are all arranged with ancient patterns, which makes it look unusual.
However, neither Lingling nor Bai Mo appreciates this pattern. Apart from the strange shape, there is not much difference between them and other decorative patterns.
The altar also seemed to be made of bronze. Standing on its edge, the two men could clearly see that a huge formation was engraved on the surface of the bronze altar.
After a quick glance, Bai Mo's eyes finally stopped on a notice board in front of the altar.
The entire notice was written in special characters. Bai Mo couldn't read a bit of it and could only wait quietly for Lingling to interpret it.
Lingling's interpretation speed is not very fast. She still needs to organize the meaning she understands into Chinese and tell Bai Mo.
I don’t know how much time passed, but the two of them finally no longer looked like two wooden piles stuck here. "It says above that this altar is used to bless the success of the contract. Those who step onto the altar need to use the summoning magic power to draw the formation diagram on the altar in one go, otherwise they will not be able to get off.
Moreover, if it is not completed for a long time, the altar will directly drain the magic energy of the person on it.”
Hearing this, Bai Mo raised his eyebrows. It wasn't that the condition was difficult, but that it was too weird.
"Lingling, I think something is wrong with this altar appearing here."
Lingling nodded, "This is like a level. Only by defeating the dragon can the warrior rescue the princess. We You can only get the mask by clearing the customs. "
"You are right, but why are there checkpoints here? The same is true for the previous gates. It is so troublesome to open the normal city gate?" Bai Mo said with a smile on his face. A trace of confusion.
“Bai Mo, this is a secret realm.”
Lingling raised her head and looked at him, "We don't know why it is arranged like this, but this is obviously not a normal city. Just think of it as a civilized tomb. I also feel that this is a tomb."
< br>“What tomb?”
“A civilized tomb is buried.” Lingling said.
Bai Mo shrugged, he felt that what Lingling said made sense.
But let’s ignore this for now. If they want to go out, they need to get their masks back.
Therefore, no matter how unreasonable it is for this altar to appear here, Bai Mo needs to go up, complete the task, and then clear the level.
Stepping up to the altar, Bai Mo began to look at the formation carefully.
He has some knowledge of formations.
Drawing a formation is not like graffiti, just follow someone else's look and draw an exact pattern.
Each pattern in the formation has its own sequence, just like solving a math problem.
The answer can be a simple number.
But there must be a problem-solving process.
And there can be no mistakes that do not reflect before and after.
This is especially true for formations. Each step is a foreshadowing for the next step, and each step cannot be disrupted.
So, Bai Mo needs to take a closer look and roughly analyze what kind of formation this formation is and how to proceed.
If he didn't understand it and used the exhaustive method of trial and error, he felt that all the trophies he had in the Colosseum would be handed over here.
So, Bai Mo looked at it very seriously.
At first glance, it was a bit complicated.
At second glance, it looks familiar.
Third Eye, I have done this question
When Bai Mo walked through the entire formation again with his third eye, he suddenly discovered that this formation was very similar to the contract formation when he was summoned by contract.
Especially the core part!
It is like a sentence, also expressing contempt for a person.
The ancients said why not drown yourself, but now people say you can take a look at yourself by peeing.
Although the words and sentences are different, the central idea is similar.
And this magic circle is a variant of the contract magic circle.
Of course, if calculated based on time, the current contract formation is more like a variant of this contract formation.
But no matter what, once the white ink has a direction, it will be much easier.
Down below, Lingling was undoubtedly a little worried when she saw that Bai Mo had not moved for a long time.
She doesn’t know how to make formations, but she knows how difficult they are.
She knew that Bai Mo knew some formations, but she was afraid that this formation was too profound and even Bai Mo couldn't crack it in a short time.
Lingling doesn’t know what the time limit is for this altar, but a day and a half is definitely impossible.
Because it takes too long. Since it is a test and a level, I won’t give it that long.
In short, the sooner it is done, the better.
When Lingling saw Bai Mo start to move, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As for Bai Mo, he just re-deconstructed the contract formation in his mind and sorted out the sequence.
After all, Lingling said before that the formation on this altar needs to be drawn in one go.
Bai Mo doesn't know if there will be any punishment for failure, but he doesn't want to fail.
Because the entire altar is too big, it cuts off the entire central street.
The array diagram is also very huge. After using summoning magic energy to draw it, the consumption is equivalent to using a super-level magic.
Although the white ink magic energy is enough now, it is not so squandered.
After the steps were sorted out in his mind, he began to draw.
A cool white brilliance appeared from his body. At this moment, white ink used moonlight as ink and fingertips as pen, and slowly began to draw on the pattern on the surface of the altar.
The contract formation can be said to be a typical inner core formation.
For this kind of formation, the pattern in the center of the formation is generally the most important, because this is where the entire formation works.
The other formation patterns all serve around this central function.
Therefore, when the white ink comes to the center, the core needs to be drawn first.
If formations are classified according to their core functions, they can be divided into two categories: internal and external.
The contract formation in front of me from who knows how many years ago also has a sub-core.
After Bai Mo finished drawing the main core, he came to the sub-core lines slightly to the left.
He didn't quite understand the function of this pattern, it seemed to be used for exchange or something.
If we talk about the previous main core, it was responsible for establishing a soul connection contract with the summoned beast and opening up the contract space.
Then this sub-core is more like a reciprocal transaction between both parties. It allows the summoner to get something from the summoned beast, and it also allows the summoned beast to gain something from the summoner.
But Bai Mo can't understand it, and he doesn't have the ability to do experiments.
After all, every carrot is a hole, and now the hole is full.
If you were to look for someone else, the current Xingzi system, when the summoning mage was still an intermediate level, would not be able to describe such a complex contract formation.
While Bai Mo was drawing, he still had time to think wildly.
After all, he only had to draw according to the title of the article, and he already knew the steps to solve the problem, so he didn't need to worry more.
When the last line was drawn, the entire contract circle shone for a few seconds, and then the entire altar sank into the ground.
Bai Mo stood there, looking at his feet and touching his chin. Thoughtful.
Lingling came closer and glanced at him, "What are you thinking?"
"I passed the level, why is there no reward."
Lingling rolled her eyes and understood again, Why do Ding Yumian and her sister say in private that this guy is childish?
This is not a real game. How can there be rewards for every level?
“Isn’t that the formation? I’m afraid even the Holy Father has never seen the contract formation from such a long time ago. It is of great research value.”
Bai Mo nodded and reluctantly accepted this comfort.
Then he heard Lingling say: "There is no reward in this level, maybe there will be in the next level, and there is an altar there."
Hearing this, Bai Mo turned around subconsciously and looked forward. .
On the same plane of Central Street, about seven kilometers ahead, a higher altar stands there.
The altar is more than ten meters long and looks like a small pyramid. On the golden platform, there is a bronze figure standing.
The figure's back was turned to them, so they couldn't see its face clearly, but it was enough for the two of them to think blindly.
There must be a mask on its face.
What is very strange is that neither of them saw the altar that was more than ten meters high before it sank into the ground under their feet.
"Chaos magic."
As a chaos mage, Bai Mo could easily think of this.
Pulling Lingling to the high altar, there are stairs going up one level at a time.
The copper steps with a faint golden light seem to invite people to step up.
It seems to be saying, if you don’t have that strength, don’t come.
More than ten meters is not too high, but the altar at this moment feels oppressive to the soul.
It makes people think that what is in front of them is Mount Tai, not a small slope of more than ten meters.
There was only one line of words on the edge of the altar. Lingling took a look and whispered to Bai Mo:
"The summoned beast and the summoner are required to go up together."
"There can be more than one person, or else Are you with me?"
Bai Mo looked at Lingling.
The delicate willow eyebrows moved. Although she likes to take risks, it is obviously not suitable at this time.
This city of ancient civilization is very strange. It's not too dangerous, but it always feels dangerous.
And this altar is not like the previous one. It is difficult to look at, but everything is clear.
This is too vague, the summoner and the summoned beast must climb up together.
Is it enough to just climb up? After climbing up, what does the bronze man do?
None of these were mentioned.
So she refused:
"Forget it, and I'm not a summoned beast." Lingling glared at him. Then he reminded:
"Beast control is prevalent here. Once summoned beasts are involved, you are not the only one who will be tested."
"Well, you wait here."
Bai Mo nodded and was about to step onto the steps, but it felt like his feet were hitting steel.
"You really have to summon a beast to go up there."
Muttered to himself, Bai Mo summoned both Feng Ling and Da Ju.
The altar that just cuts off the entire central street is spacious enough that there is no problem walking side by side.
Originally Bai Mo was worried about the pressure on the steps, but after walking more than a dozen steps, he found that there was nothing.
However, he did not relax his vigilance because of this. Daju and Fengling also paid close attention to his reminder.
But when they reached a certain height and their eyes could see the back of the bronze man standing on the high platform, a huge momentum suddenly came down with pressure!
For a moment, the entire inner city seemed to be thundering!
Bai Mo felt as if he was in a deep abyss of darkness, unable to move. The image of facing the deep ditch demon possessed by the emperor in Leizhou not long ago reappeared in his mind. (End of this chapter)
