Chapter 288: Inhumane
According to the information he got from the clan, there is indeed a formation maintaining the barrier in this place.
The reason why he proposed to use the strength of ten people to forcibly break the boundary was to consume the strength of these humans.
He glanced at Jingxian who was uncooperative. This woman was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.
There are only three people now. If they open the barrier and look at the things inside before the others arrive and leave, the losses of the alien race will be minimized.
After careful consideration, the scholar in white pointed to a pillar and said, "Did you notice that pillar? Nothing in this place has any elemental reaction, except that pillar..."
Jingxian and No. 9 looked in the direction his finger pointed, and sure enough, they found a half-meter-high pillar standing upright in the ruins.
Jingxian quickly reached the root and observed it carefully. "There is indeed a kind of power flowing through this pillar. Could it be related to the barrier?"
As she spoke, she glanced at the scholar in white. This guy was from a foreign race. Was he giving this hint to help them or to set a trap?
"If it's related to the barrier, then there must be more than one pillar in this place. Let's find the remaining pillars first, mark them, and then discuss how to break the barrier."
Jingxian has done in-depth research on battle formations and quickly found the key to breaking through the boundary.
She reached out and pressed down on the dent in the pillar.
After a dull roar, the pillar actually turned.
The barrier didn't react at all.
The ninth person had disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared in another ruin, he raised his knife and struck a pile of rubble.
"boom!"
The rubble was knocked away by him, revealing a pillar that was exactly the same as the one next to Jingxian.
The scholar in white couldn't help but shrink his pupils when he saw the ninth person found another pillar so quickly.
Then, it moved.
He found another pillar in another place.
Soon, the two found and marked the seven pillars surrounding the church's barrier.
"Then the question is, how should we use these pillars?" The scholar in white frowned.
Although he knew what this barrier was, the information he obtained did not tell him how to break it.
Jingxian touched his chin and jumped to the highest point to see the distribution of the seven pillars. With a flash of his body, he appeared on another pillar and quickly found the concave position of the pillar and pressed it.
Sure enough, the pillar slowly turned.
The surprised figure appeared in front of the seven pillars one by one and turned the pillars.
After doing all this, she returned to her original spot and asked the ninth child, "What was the reaction when I turned the pillar just now?"
"There is a reaction. When you moved the fifth pillar, the fourth pillar lit up." The ninth one said affirmatively.
The scholar in white looked at him a few more times and said, "I'm also watching the reactions of these pillars, but I don't see any reaction from them."
Jingxian ignored him and went straight to the fourth pillar.
Then he went to the fifth pillar and looked at it again and again.
Then, they stood there in a brief silence.
"Did you see anything?" The ninth one also took a look.
"What do you think? Is there any pattern between these two pillars?" Jingxian looked at the man's thoughtful expression and chuckled nonchalantly.
"The patterns on these two pillars are identical, and even their orientation is the same. According to the pattern from left to right, the pillar that's slightly higher should be the starting pillar."
The ninth one remembered the direction, shape and pattern of the fourth and fifth pillars very clearly.
Jingxian nodded.
"The pattern on the fourth pillar matches the exact same pattern on the fifth pillar. Should the sixth pillar be adjusted in the same way?"
As he spoke, Jingxian came to the sixth pillar, pressed the switch, and turned the pillar so that the pattern on the sixth pillar was opposite to the first pillar.
"The angle is right. The fifth pillar just reacted." The ninth one observed from the side and said at the right time.
As he spoke, he flashed to the first pillar, observed it, turned the pillar, and faced the pattern to the second pillar.
Soon, the ninth person finished arranging all the pillars behind him.
"There is only one left. What should we do with this one?" The scholar in white asked, referring to the only unpaired pillar No. 7 on the scene.
He simply didn't believe that such a powerful barrier could be opened by simply arranging patterns.
Jingxian walked over and asked, "Where do you think this pillar should face?"
"What will be the consequences if we fail?" No. 9 answered the question irrelevantly.
Jing Xian was stunned. "You ask me, who should I ask?"
Number nine chuckled and reacted quite quickly.
"I think the last pillar should face the barrier in the middle. Of course, if that fails, the arrangement of these pillars may change.
That is, if we make a mistake, the columns will change, and then we can no longer arrange them in the current way."
Jingxian nodded, "It's pretty much what I thought."
The scholar in white thought for a moment, "So, if we arrange the mechanism incorrectly this time, it will be more difficult to activate it next time?"
"Yes, the more mistakes you make, the more difficult it will be." Jingxian nodded.
This arrangement method seems simple, but if you make a mistake once, the difficulty will increase exponentially next time. After a few times, the barrier will be locked!
In the end there was no other way except to force it open.
"Should we try it now?" Jingxian was eager to try, "Or should we wait for other players?"
"Let's not wait for them, let's get started right away." The ninth ranked person made the final decision.
The scholar in white also agreed, although he really wanted to take his companions along.
But he also didn't think that Jingxian and No. 9 could open the barrier in one go.
After getting confirmation from the two, Jingxian went straight to the seventh pillar and pressed the mechanism.
"Boom..."
As the seventh pillar returns to its proper position.
Under the stunned and unconfident gaze of Bai Yisheng, a roar that seemed to come from ancient times rang out.
This barrier that has been deposited for thousands of years slowly disappeared.
Finally, the true appearance of the church slowly appeared before the three of them.
When Jingxian saw what was inside, he gasped.
"This is..." Even the ninth ranked boy, who was used to big scenes, couldn't help but straighten his lips.
After the scholar in white saw the situation inside, a terrifying murderous intent immediately burst out from his body.
Because this two-hundred-square-meter, seven-story cathedral is a living mass grave.
The first to seventh floors are filled with bones. The building is like a trash can full of garbage, densely packed with bones!
When Jingxian saw this scene, a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
As a cultivator, she knew that these bones were all the skeletons of cultivators with high cultivation levels after their death.
This, this is so cruel!
