The old mercenary's words drew everyone's attention, and Su Qing's attention was also drawn to him.
"The light barrier needs energy to maintain itself, and the source of that energy is the magic circle beneath our feet. Every magic circle has a weakness. Once we find that weakness, we can attack it relentlessly and break it down, and then we will be able to break through!"
The old mercenary offered his opinion, but it left everyone speechless.
"We all know all that, but the question is, where is the weakness of this magic circle?"
"Yes, we can't keep trying every place one by one!"
Hearing the obvious discontent from those around him, the old mercenary smiled indifferently: "One of the mercenaries who survived the previous few times I entered the ruins was a friend of mine. He once told me that the main attribute of this magic circle is earth, with wind, water and fire as secondary attributes. The place where the wind attribute is located in the magic circle is the biggest weakness of this magic circle."
The four basic attributes for constructing a magic circle are water, fire, earth, and wind. Generally, one attribute is chosen as the main attribute to construct a magic circle with the main attribute. However, the other three attributes are weakened and made easier to target.
However, if the four attributes are balanced, there will be no weakness, but there will also be no advantage. Generally, no magician would construct a magic circle in this way.
For a magic circle whose primary attribute is earth, its weakest point is naturally the wind attribute, which is the opposite of earth.
The location of the wind attribute is at the East Gate.
The group followed the old mercenary to the east gate, which looked no different from the gate they had just been at, making them suspicious.
"Is this really a weak point? It looks no different from the place we just saw!"
"What do you know! This magic array is of an extremely high level. If a powerful expert is in charge and it's in operation, let alone us nobodys, even a titled expert wouldn't have an easy time breaking through it!"
"We'll just take advantage of the energy shortage and the lack of guards to sneak in and grab some things!"
The old mercenary gave a rebuke, his expression turning serious.
Although he had been there three times before, this was his first time entering the interior.
He didn't dare to go in the first two times because he was too scared to go in. Now that he's nearing the end of his life, he's become indifferent to life and death and wants to go in and see what this ruin that scared him twice is really like.
I also want to see what this royal palace, built thousands of years ago, looks like!
This was his last chance; he didn't think he'd have another 30 years to live until the next time the ruins opened.
"Wait for my command, and attack the city gate together. That's the core of this wind-attribute formation!"
The old mercenary spoke, and the crowd, though skeptical, began to gather their strength.
"The palace is more dangerous than outside. Be careful once you go in, otherwise, if you trigger the curse, you will be doomed unless you can find another titled curse mage."
Looking at the eager people around him, the old mercenary remembered the information he had heard and issued a warning. Whether they believed him or not was none of his business.
"Let's do it!"
With a roar, the old mercenary sent seven or eight figures leaping into the air, unleashing bursts of multicolored battle aura that slammed into the city gate.
The immense force caused the light screen to shake and flicker.
The area they attacked rippled like water.
Seven or eight people quickly seized the opportunity, rushed inside, opened the city gate, and entered the city.
Outside the city, only three people stood: the old mercenary, Su Qing, and Black Sparrow.
Why didn't you two go in?
The old mercenary turned to look at the two men, quietly took two steps back to create distance, and at the same time reached for his sword.
"I didn't contribute anything just now, how could I possibly go in!"
Su Qing replied with a smile.
He didn't make a move just now; he just stood there with his arms crossed, watching the show.
"On the contrary, you went through so much trouble, why didn't you go in with them?"
Su Qing asked the old mercenary a question, but the man did not answer him. He stood quietly in place, listening intently.
Almost immediately, within two or three minutes of the seven or eight people entering the palace, a series of shrill screams rang out.
Su Qing saw two crows take flight in the sky, and a frog hopping around at the city gate, but it was blocked by the light screen. Behind the frog was a completely distorted person with three heads and three hands, but no legs, struggling and spinning on the ground.
The scene startled Black Sparrow, who instinctively hid behind Su Qing.
Su Qing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly; what had happened was indeed somewhat unexpected.
The old mercenary seemed to sense his surprise and smiled faintly: "If you've been to Chaos Territory, you won't be so surprised!"
"Curse mages, wizards, and necromancers are known as the three most terrifying professions. Curse mages can do many unbelievable things through reasonable curses; turning people into animals and monsters is relatively easy for them!"
"You're from the Chaotic Territory?"
Su Qing became interested; that was the place he was going to next, and it would be good to gather more information.
The old mercenary did not answer him: "After thousands of years of accumulation, the curse power in the palace is quite strong. Fortunately, every thirty years or so, some fearless guys go in to consume the curse power inside, which gives us newcomers a chance."
As his voice faded, another scream erupted from the palace; it was the last person to enter, who held on for about ten minutes.
The old mercenary's face broke into a smile: "The fact that it has lasted this long means that the curse power on the street has been almost exhausted!"
He threw a punch, and eight halos of light bloomed around his body, then quickly overlapped, transforming into something like a turntable, with a knife as the central pattern.
The blade is divided into 12 sections, two of which are lit up and engraved with obscure runes.
With a single punch, he blasted a passage as tall as a person through the light barrier, and the old mercenary strode in.
"You two little ones, you're lucky to be alive!"
As the voice faded, the city gate slowly closed.
Black Sparrow's eyes widened, his voice trembling slightly: "That's glory?"
Su Qing nodded, feeling a little depressed.
This old guy was hiding it too well; he didn't even notice anything unusual and just thought the other party was a knowledgeable old mercenary.
However, the fact that this ruin could attract a Brilliant-level expert means it must be very valuable!
Su Qing was pondering whether he should also go in and take a look. The brilliance of developing two characteristics—he couldn't beat them, but they couldn't kill him either.
However, before he could come to a conclusion, two more people landed and entered the city. Neither of them paid any attention to Su Qing and Hei Que who were guarding outside the city, and they broke through the light barrier and entered the city as if they were nothing.
Its strength is probably at the Glorious level, and it seems to have developed one or two special abilities.
Having already achieved three glorious peaks, Su Qing narrowed his eyes.
The things inside the palace seemed more interesting than he had imagined.
"You stay outside and keep watch!"
Su Qing gave an order and prepared to go in and join the fun.
