The crystal light entered the pitch-black spiritual world, like a starry sky suddenly appearing in the darkness.
As soon as these lights appeared, they immediately went towards Bai Mo's summoning star sea.
The light merges into the already dazzling sea of stars and becomes inconspicuous.
Bai Mo only saw the 2401 stars in his summoning star sea flash slightly, and then there was no movement.
After searching carefully for a while, he found no other obvious changes except that the summoning contract between himself and the Water Qilin had become a little stronger.
Bai Mo opened his eyes and looked at Feng Ling.
The wind spirit was also floating there normally, without any abnormality.
"Do you feel anything is wrong?"
He asked, "If there is anything unusual, speak up."
"Hmm~" Feng Ling shook her head, indicating that she didn't feel anything at all.
Seeing this, Bai Mo felt relieved.
He collected the bronze mask in his hand and the bronze fragments on the ground, then met Lingling at the entrance, and the two walked out of the Colosseum together.
As he walked, Bai Mo was thinking about the battle just now. He always felt that the bronze giant's fighting style was a little familiar.
"What are you thinking about?" Lingling asked.
Hearing this, Bai Mo came back to his senses, "I wonder if we will be surrounded by the bronze beast army in a moment. If I don't get the title of Beast King, then I can only use another method to break through."
Lingling nodded slightly, understanding what he meant, and continued, "It's just that it consumes a bit of magic power. Why did you collect those bronze fragments? What's the use of them?"
Based on her understanding of Bai Mo, she knew that this person was not the kind of person who liked to pick up trash.
Normally, he would not even touch this kind of thing.
"There is a special energy on those bronze fragments. It is very pure and can restore magic power."
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 no coincidence that the bronze mask appears here. Lingling, we can't just focus on the bronze tree."
When they came in earlier, they thought that the bronze mask had flown to the top of the deepest ancient bronze tree.
But now it seems that this is not the case. If this mask can be in the Colosseum, why do they think that the other masks must be on the ancient bronze tree?
Lingling had naturally thought of what Bai Mo could think of.
In fact, when Bai Mo was fighting, she had been speculating about this matter.
If Bai Mo didn't ask, she would still take the initiative to bring it up.
But now it seems that my partner is not as smart, pure and cute as me.
But he is not the type who will become a fool when he grows up.
"It's true that we can't. Our initial thinking was wrong, but it was also not wrong."
Lingling crossed her arms across her chest, unfortunately not being able to emphasize anything, she just continued:
"I have thought about this before. What is so special about this Colosseum? Why did the mask fall here and not somewhere else?"
"But if we consider the ancient bronze tree, it is easy to infer that the Colosseum is the largest building in the outer city and also a landmark building."
“And the bronze ancient tree is a landmark of the entire city, which is what they have in common.
Therefore, our initial idea was not completely wrong. There is probably a mask on the bronze tree, but the other masks may be on other iconic buildings in the city.”
Bai Mo nodded slightly, confirming Lingling's guess, and smiled, giving a thumbs up and saying:
"As expected of you, your brain works really quickly."
Lingling raised her chin, but her expression became serious.
At this moment, they had already arrived outside the Colosseum.
You can see ancient rock bronze beasts everywhere, some of them are lying on the streets, and some are squatting on the buildings.
The buildings here are larger than normal houses, and they are connected together to bear the weight of these ancient rock bronze beasts without any problem.
Each of the densely packed ancient beasts is more than ten meters tall. Some are like majestic tigers, some are like cunning hunting dogs, and some are flying eagles in the sky.
These ancient bronze beasts stretched from the front to the sides until they were out of their sight.
At the front, two larger monarch-level ancient rock bronze beasts were blocking the door.
If the door of the Colosseum wasn't so huge, the two of them probably wouldn't be able to see the scene behind them at all.
One of the monarch bronze beasts was tattered and badly beaten, while the other was mighty and domineering and shining.
The moment Bai Mo and Lingling stepped out of the Colosseum, their stiff eyeballs immediately turned and stared at them.
Immediately afterwards, the bronze beast armies from all directions suddenly turned their heads and stared at them.
Bai Mo felt some anticipation and worry in his heart, so he just stared calmly at these ancient bronze beasts.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
There was no movement at all. These bronze beasts seemed to have turned into bronze statues again, without the slightest movement.
If their eyes had not been facing him, Bai Mo would probably 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 saying anything, but they both understood each other's thoughts.
So the two of them stopped standing there and walked forward.
As Bai Mo moved forward, the army of ancient rock-copper beasts that had blocked the way ahead slowly separated.
It looked like an army waiting for inspection by the marshal.
The Colosseum is not very close to the gate leading from the outer city to the inner city.
Before, he had to teleport here with Lingling, but now he can just walk over leisurely.
The bronze beasts on both sides automatically retreated. Looking at this scene, Bai Mo felt a sense of secret satisfaction that he hadn't experienced in a long time.
Walking to the gate leading to the inner city, Bai Mo came to the golden turntable again.
Summon the Wind Spirit and Big Orange, and place the two beasts and one person at the sharp corners of the turntable.
I looked at the big orange creature walking on its hind legs with its front legs resting on the handles of the turntable.
Bai Mo inexplicably wanted to laugh and take pictures. It was indeed a bit difficult for a cat to do this.
After all, not every cat is like Ye Luosha, with small leather boots and gloves.
He quickly calmed down and said to the two summoned beasts:
"Get ready, let's start now."
Feng Ling and Da Ju responded in unison and started walking together with Bai Mo.
The first time was not successful, Feng Ling moved a little faster.
The second time also failed.
The third time, with the help of the wind spirit's mental magic, they finally succeeded.
It is said that the contract is a way for them to communicate with each other's minds, 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 if we ask twins to come.
But fortunately they succeeded.
Bai Mo also realized the significance of Lingling's words before coming here, that this was a civilization that valued taming beasts.
In his opinion, this test is just a waste of time, although it can help cultivate the tacit understanding between the summoner and the summoned beast.
But this requirement is a bit too high.
Perhaps this is why beast taming is so popular here.
Bai Mo suddenly remembered that the bronze giant and the four bronze beasts in the Colosseum can be understood as a super-class wizard and his four summoned beasts.
As for where the four ordinary summoning mages came from, he didn't know either.
He just suddenly guessed that if those bronze beasts were the summoned beasts of the bronze giant,
So those outside the Colosseum, right?
Originally they were all on their respective houses, either as sculptures on the eaves or as stone carvings in front of the doors, and so on.
But in the end they all turned into bronze beasts, and these bronze beasts all came down from the houses.
A house has an owner, so do the animals decorated on the house by the owner also have owners?
If you think about it this way, then almost every household in the entire outer city is a summoner, or has a summoner.
Such a ratio is simply terrifying.
Bai Mo was daydreaming, 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 described in detail in the pictures and texts of the Yelang Kingdom, just like a large Colosseum."
"In other words, the second mask is most likely on the altar?"
As soon as Bai Mo finished speaking, Lingling nodded.
So, he subconsciously used sound waves to scan the entire city.
Perhaps it was because he had won the title of Beast King. Although the buildings in the inner city were more magnificent.
There are more statues and portraits on the houses, but none of these things have the idea of breaking through the dimensional wall.
The sound waves swept across the city, and a large blank space appeared in Bai Mo's perception.
These blank spaces are houses or other buildings.
"There are means to prevent dimensional detection here."
Bai Mo muttered to himself, but when his eyes fell on the front, he was suddenly stunned.
"Bai Mo, the altar is right in front, we don't need to look for it."
On this straight road leading to the central city, a few kilometers ahead of them, an altar rose from the ground.
Before, I didn’t pay much attention to it because it was far away. Now that I’m closer, I can see clearly that it is an altar.
A huge altar that directly cuts off the road.
"What's going on? Do we have to pass the altar before we can continue inside?"
What kind of design is this? If this city has residents, do they have to go to the altar and worship every time they pass by this section of the central avenue?
Going to the altar requires preparing sacrifices, especially in ancient times when people’s minds were not yet civilized.
What’s the difference between this and building a toll booth directly on the main road in the city!
Bai Mo's face was full of question marks, and so was Lingling.
However, they could not draw any conclusions just by watching, so the two of them quickened their pace and walked towards the altar.
This altar is about 1.5 meters high and octagonal in shape. There are ancient patterns arranged on the eight outer surfaces, which makes it look unusual.
However, neither Lingling nor Bai Mo appreciated these patterns. Apart from their strange shapes, they were not much different from other decorative patterns.
The altar also seemed to be made of bronze. Standing beside it, the two could clearly see that a huge formation was engraved on the surface of the bronze altar.
After a quick glance, Bai Mo's gaze finally stopped on a bulletin board-like object in front of the altar.
The entire notice was written in special characters, and Bai Mo couldn't understand it at all. He could only wait quietly for Lingling to interpret it.
Lingling's interpretation speed is not fast, she still needs to organize her understanding into Chinese and tell Bai Mo.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but the two of them finally stopped standing there like two wooden stakes.
"It says that this altar is used to bless the success of the contract. The person who steps onto the altar needs to use summoning magic to draw the formation diagram on the altar in one go, otherwise he will not be able to come down.
Moreover, if it is not completed for a long time, the altar will directly drain the magic power of the person on it."
Hearing this, Bai Mo raised his eyebrows. It was not because the condition was difficult, but because it was too weird.
"Lingling, I think it's wrong for this altar to be here."
Lingling nodded. "This is like a level. The warrior can only rescue the princess if he defeats the dragon. We can only get the mask if we pass the level."
"What you said is true, but why is there a checkpoint here? And the previous gate as well? Does a normal city gate need to be opened so troublesomely?" There was a hint of confusion on Bai Mo's face.
"Bai Mo, this is a secret place."
Lingling raised her head and looked at him. "We don't know why this place is arranged like this, but this is obviously not a normal city. Just treat it as a civilized tomb. I also feel that this is a tomb."
"What tomb?"
"It buried a civilization." Lingling said.
Bai Mo shrugged. He felt that what Lingling said made sense.
But let’s not talk about that for now. If they want to get out, they have to get the 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 pass the level.
Walking up to the altar, Bai Mo began to carefully examine the formation.
He has some knowledge of formations.
Drawing a formation is not like graffiti, where you can just copy someone else's and draw an identical pattern.
Every pattern in the formation has a sequence, just like solving a math problem.
The answer can be a simple number.
But the problem-solving process must exist.
And there must not be any mistakes that are inconsistent.
This is even more true for formations, where each step paves the way for the next step, and each step cannot be disrupted.
Therefore, Bai Mo needs to take a good look and roughly analyze what kind of formation this is and how to proceed.
If he didn't understand and used the exhaustive method of trial and error, he felt that all the spoils he had obtained at the Colosseum would be left here.
Therefore, Bai Mo looked at it very carefully.
At first glance, it's a bit complicated.
At second glance, it looked familiar.
Third Eye, I have done this question
When Bai Mo used his third eye to go through the entire formation again, he suddenly discovered that this formation was very similar to the contract formation he used when he summoned through contract.
Especially the core part!
It's like a sentence, which also expresses contempt for a person.
Why didn't the ancients use urine to reflect on themselves? Nowadays, people say to pee and look at themselves.
Although the wording is different, the main idea is similar.
And this magic circle is a variation of the contract magic circle.
Of course, if calculated by time, the current contract formation is more like a variant of this contract formation.
But no matter what, now that Bai Mo has a direction, things will be much easier.
Below, Lingling saw that Bai Mo had not moved for a long time, and was undoubtedly a little worried.
She doesn't know how to set up formations, but she knows how difficult they are.
She knew that Bai Mo knew a little about formations, but she was afraid that this formation was too profound and even Bai Mo would not be able to break it in a short time.
Lingling didn't know how long this altar would last, but a day or half a day was definitely impossible.
Because that would take too long. Since it is a test and a level, we won’t give that much time.
In short, the sooner it is completed, the better.
When Lingling saw Bai Mo start to move, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As for Bai Mo, he was just deconstructing the contract formation in his mind and sorting out the order of sequence.
After all, Lingling had said before that the formation on the altar needed to be drawn in one go.
Bai Mo didn’t know if there would be any punishment for failure, but he didn’t want to fail.
Because the altar was so large, it blocked the entire central street.
The formation diagram is also huge, and it is drawn with summoning magic power, and its consumption is equivalent to using a super-level magic.
Although Bai Mo's magic energy is still sufficient now, it cannot be squandered like this.
Once he had the steps sorted out in his mind, he began to draw.
A cool white light emerged from his body. At this moment, Bai Mo used moonlight as ink and his fingertips as a pen to slowly draw on the array pattern on the surface of the altar.
The contract array can be said to be a typical inner core array.
For this kind of magic array, the pattern in the center is usually the most important, because this is where the entire array works.
The other formations all serve this central function.
Therefore, Bai Mo came to the center and needed to outline the core first.
If formations are classified by core functional patterns, they can be divided into internal and external types.
And this contract formation in front of us, which was created countless years ago, also has a sub-core.
After Bai Mo finished drawing the main core, he came to the secondary core pattern slightly to the left.
He didn't quite understand the function of this pattern, it seemed to be used for exchange or something.
If the previous main core was responsible for establishing a soul connection contract with the summoned beast and opening up a contract space.
Then this sub-core is more like a mutually equal transaction, which allows the summoner to gain something from the summoned beast, and also allows the summoned beast to gain something from the summoner.
But Bai Mo couldn't understand it, and he didn't have the ability to do the experiment.
After all, there is only one job for each person, and now the job is full.
If we ask someone else, the current star system, when the summoning mage is still at the intermediate level, cannot draw such a complex contract array.
While Bai Mo was painting, he still had time to daydream.
After all, he only had to describe the topic, and he already knew the steps to solve the problem, so he didn't need to worry about anything else.
When the last line was drawn, the entire contract formation flashed for a few seconds, and then the entire altar sank into the ground.
Bai Mo stood there, looking at his feet, stroking his chin, as if thinking about something.
Lingling came closer and glanced at him, "What are you thinking about?"
"I cleared the game, why is there no reward?"
Lingling rolled her eyes and understood once again why Ding Yumian and her sister would privately say that this guy was childish.
This isn't a real game that you have to complete, so how could there be rewards at every level?
"Isn't that the formation? It's a contract formation from such a long time ago. I'm afraid that the Holy Father has never seen it. It is very valuable for research."
Bai Mo nodded and reluctantly accepted the consolation.
Then Lingling said, "There is no reward in this level, but there may be one in the next level. There is also an altar there."
Hearing this, Bai Mo subconsciously turned around and looked forward.
On the same central street plane, about seven kilometers ahead, there stands a taller altar.
The altar is more than ten meters long and looks like a small pyramid. There is a bronze statue standing on the golden platform.
The figure was facing away from them, so their faces couldn't be seen clearly, but this was enough for the two of them to speculate.
There must be a mask on its face.
What was very strange was that neither of them saw this altar, which was more than ten meters high, until it sank into the ground under their feet.
"Chaos magic."
As a chaos mage, Bai Mo easily thought of this.
Pulling Lingling to the front of this tall altar, there were stairs going up one level at a time.
The copper steps with a faint golden glow seem to invite people to step on them.
It also seems to be saying, if you don’t have the ability, don’t come.
Ten or ten meters is not considered high, but at this moment the altar gives people a feeling of oppression.
It makes people feel that what they are seeing is a Mount Tai, rather than a small slope of a dozen meters.
There was only one line of words on the side of the altar. Lingling took a look and whispered to Bai Mo:
"Request the summoned beast and summoner to board together."
"We can have more people, how about you join me?"
Bai Mo looked at Lingling.
Her delicate eyebrows twitched. Although she liked adventure, it was obviously not appropriate at this moment.
This ancient civilization city 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 see, but everything is clear.
This is too vague, and both the summoner and the summoned beast must go up together.
Is it enough to just climb up? After climbing up, what does the bronze man do?
These were not mentioned at all.
So she refused:
"Forget it, and I'm not a summoned beast." Lingling glared at him and then reminded him:
"Beast taming is prevalent here. Once summoned beasts are involved, you won't be the only one being tested."
"Okay, wait here."
Bai Mo nodded and was about to step onto the stairs, but he felt like his feet were hitting steel.
"You really need to summon a beast to get up there."
Bai Mo muttered to himself and called out Feng Ling and Da Ju.
The altar that just cuts off the entire central street is spacious enough, so there is no problem walking side by side.
Originally Bai Mo was worried that there would be some pressure on the stairs, but after walking up more than ten steps, he found nothing.
However, he did not relax his vigilance. Daju and Fengling were also reminded by him and were extremely careful.
But when they reached a certain height and could see the back of the bronze man standing on the platform, a tremendous momentum and pressure came down!
In an instant, the entire inner city seemed to be filled with thunder!
Bai Mo felt as if he was in a dark abyss, unable to move. The scene of facing the deep ditch demon possessed by the emperor in Leizhou not long ago reappeared in his mind. (End of this chapter)
