Beiran sat on top of the pillar, holding his head and thinking bitterly.

Above their heads, egg-like scorched stones were still falling. Some of the bricks on the ground have been paved with these stones. Because of this, new stone pillars around them began to rotate under the influence of ground pressure, spraying various sharp hidden weapons into the field.

Ji Changkong is really lacking in skills, blocking rock darts while beware of hidden arrows. Even if he could stop a hundred sharp arrows with the power of a single instrument, he couldn't stand being attacked from all sides by several hidden weapons. Although it is not a matter of injury, it is also extremely physically demanding. Bei Ran, who was in a high place, could clearly see that the speed of his movements was getting slower and slower.

She was so anxious that her hands began to reach into her hair, clutching the roots of her hair. Unable to think of a way for a long time, she hated to pull off a few handfuls of her hair.

Although Ji Changkong's physical strength was consumed a lot by these mechanisms, the power of the barrier that protected Bei Dye was not weakened at all, and she was strictly hidden in it from beginning to end.

From time to time, the scorched flame stones that fell from the sky hit the barrier, and the two collided with each other, creating sparks. Bei Ran looked at those Mars in a daze, still trapped in the predicament of thinking and couldn't get out.

Suddenly, she jerked herself up from her pillar, looked at the flint that was still crackling against the barrier, and laughed as if she had been granted amnesty.

Mars. Star!

That's right, it's the star!

All the stone pillars here are laid out according to the arrangement of the stars. In addition, every time you step on a floor tile and touch a new mechanism, there will be a stone pillar corresponding to the five corners of the room, which will rotate at the same time, and countless hidden weapons will be emitted from them to attack the enemy.

The five rotating stone pillars are regarded as five points, starting from one point and intersecting with the other four points, which happen to converge into a neat five-pointed star.

Therefore, the main purpose of this whole formation is that the sky is as vast as a sea of smoke and stars, and the big stars are breaded with small stars.

When she was a child, Beiran didn't like to read and learn calligraphy, and her mother liked to teach her to draw five-pointed stars on paper with a pen. Start with a certain point, connect five points with a line, and after joining them, you will become a star. But she prefers to make trouble, and always wipes off a line of it after the drawing is done. The mother laughed at her: "In this case, the star will be missing a corner." A star without a horn can no longer shine, and everything is indispensable. ”

Indispensable. Kitazan kept reciting this sentence silently in his heart. She looked at the swirling stone pillars on the array with red eyes, and had an idea in her heart.

Think of these pillars that drive the hidden weapon as the five corners of the star, and if you find the pillar that is the starting point of the connection and destroy it, the mechanism will definitely stop. And this starting point is not difficult to find.

Just as she was trying to find a suitable weapon to destroy the stone pillar, another question came to her mind.

Now there is more than one hidden weapon on the field, and each hidden weapon corresponds to five stone pillars, and only one of the five stone pillars is useful if it is destroyed. If you want to stop them completely, how many stone pillars do you have to cut off?!

Not to mention whether she had enough strength to cut them all off, I was afraid that Ji Changkong would not be able to wait for that time, and before that, he was already exhausted.

Her heart was anxious again, and her brain was spinning as she thought of a solution.

It wasn't long before she had another idea. Since this formation is so sophisticated, if their own people had strayed in, so many mechanisms, and waited until they were closed one by one, I am afraid that person would have been shot into a hornet's nest long ago. It can't be, the owner who designed this mechanism can't leave himself a way out. Just like the trick they often use when robbing: capture the thief and capture the king first, there must be a mechanism as the center, pulling the entire array.

With that in mind, she revisited the stone pillars that were the starting point of the stars. The hard work paid off, and finally after looking at it no less than ten times, she found that if these stone pillars were divided into four directions, south, east, west, and northwest, there would be exactly seven stone pillars in each direction, and their landing points would be almost exactly the same as the Big Dipper!

In this way, there are four Big Dipper stars on the field. And the four Big Dipper, their spoon-shaped hooks all pointed towards one place, enclosing it in a circle that was not completely closed, and in this circle, around a rotating stone pillar......

Bei Ran's blood suddenly boiled, and he shouted at Ji Changkong: "Sir, lend me your sword!" ”

Hearing this, Ji Changkong waved his hand and threw a sword into her hand without looking back.

Bei Ran took the sword that Ji Changkong gave her, jumped out of the safety circle, and after a few ups and downs, he came to the edge of the key stone pillar, and raised the sword to it is a burst of horizontal and vertical slashes.

However, the stone pillar was much harder than she had imagined, and no matter how she cut it, the stone pillar did not move at all, only making a "clang" sound of the two colliding.

Ji Changkong heard the noise here, looked back at her, and found that she was slashing the stone pillar with her sword like crazy, and hurriedly said, "What are you doing?" Go back quickly, it's dangerous outside. ”

"I've already discovered the gist of these mechanisms, as long as I destroy this pillar, all the mechanisms will be able to stop." ”

Worried about her safety, Ji Changkong said: "No! Go back! ”

Beiran was silent, and continued to use his sword to slash the pillar. But just like before, the stone pillar didn't react, and he didn't even cut out the edge of the sword.

If it is a sword in the sky, it must not be a bad broken copper and iron. A good sword can't do good, it can only be that the person who makes the sword is too weak and incompetent. Beiran carried the sword, constantly gasping for air, and secretly scolded himself in his heart for being useless.

Ji Changkong was really worried about her safety, and looked back at her frequently. And this distraction, a dart with a barbed hook scraped his arm, mercilessly cutting a long hole in the place. Piercing red blood flowed from his arm, staining a large chunk of his snow-white clothes.

When Kitazan saw the red color appear on him, he panicked for no reason. An unprecedented sense of fear swept over her in an instant, and it was the first time she had seen him hurt since she had known him. She couldn't imagine what would happen to her if a few more wounds appeared on him.

She lowered her head, caught off guard, and a large tear slid down her cheek and hit the floor tiles with a crisp "tick" sound. At the same time, a strong desire for protection rose in her heart, just like seeing him hurt, a feeling she had never felt before.

She has never been so eager to protect someone, even if she is fighting for her life, she also wants to protect him.

It was the first time, but it felt very familiar, and it seemed to have started a long, long time ago. It is the same as the first time I saw the world in the newborn world, and it has long been engraved into my bones.

After the protective desire in her heart brewed and fermented in her heart, it gradually transformed into a strong flow of heat, flowing through every inch of her body along the internal organs, making her originally exhausted blood boil again.

She clenched the long sword in her hand, her eyes were fierce, and she gathered enough strength, and with a thunderous sword, she slashed towards the stone pillar that was several times higher than her.

Bei Ran didn't notice it, but Ji Changkong not far away clearly saw that a grand rainbow-like glow rushed out of her sword, smashing the sky and surging towards the stone pillar in front of her. The pillar, which had been tall and solid, had become completely insignificant in front of this spiritual light, and as the light overshadowed it, a sound of cracking gold and stone came from it. Ji Changkong knew that she had done it.

Suddenly, the entire space shook, and all the stone pillars shook wildly. Beiran stood motionless, his hands gripping the black sword trembling slightly.

The next moment, the indestructible stone pillar collapsed in front of her, shattering into pieces.

Almost at the same time, the countless fierce and fierce hidden weapons in the array, like marionettes that had suddenly been taken out of their leads, suddenly lost their lives. Thousands of darts and arrows, poisonous needles and flame stones fell in unison, putting on a cloak on the ground.

At this point, all the mechanisms were no longer functioning, and several stone pillars had come to a halt. Ji Changkong stepped over the arrows and stones all over the ground and came to Bei Ran's side, and said with concern: "Are you okay?" ”

The distracted Beiran came to his senses when he heard his shout, turned his head stiffly to look at him, and said, "I'm fine." "The sound is very quiet.

Ji Changkong rubbed her hair and said softly, "It's okay." Then his gaze moved down, and he quietly landed on the black sword in her hand.

At that time, Beiran asked him for a weapon, he thought she was going to go over to defend herself, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he threw a handful to her at random. When the matter was urgent, he naturally didn't pay attention to which sword he gave her, but he didn't expect it to be this one.

This sword has followed him since the unification of the Six Realms, and he has not used it a few times, and he rarely takes it out. This time, I brought it with me because I wanted to investigate the evil things that appeared in the mountains, and I was afraid that the situation would be dangerous. Fang Cai, unintentionally, took it out.

In fact, what surprised him more than he unconsciously took out this sword was that Bei Dye could drive it.

This would not be surprising if it had been in the past. But now, Bei Dye is a mortal body, how can he have such a strong spiritual power to control it?

After smashing the stone pillar, Beiran herself couldn't believe it, she never thought that she had so much strength. She returned the sword to Ji Changkong, and then pounced on him and hugged him. didn't say a word, and hugged silently for a long time.

Ji Changkong was holding the sword, a little confused, not knowing why she was suddenly like this. The hand that had nowhere to put it finally patted her on the back and comforted, "It's okay." ”

Hokuzen just nodded, holding his hand tightly for a long time before letting it go.

The stone henge was broken, and the several stone pillars that were the main body of the formation sank within half an hour after the scene calmed down, and merged with the stone ground, and no trace could be seen. In this way, the whole space becomes a huge flat land with nothing.

Bei Ran and Ji Changkong stood in the middle, looking around, and saw that in the darkness in the distance, a gate was slowly opening. Outside the door, a white light entered, bright and blinding.

Bei Ran said happily: "The exit is there, let's go over." Then he pulled Ji Changkong and ran towards the white light.

It's pitch black underfoot, but it's bright in front of you. Maybe at this moment, no one can understand her mood for the rest of her life. So, running towards this light, she did her best.

Just as they were about to touch it, there was suddenly no fulcrum under the feet of the two.

A sudden sense of weightlessness struck like a tidal wave. Ji Changkong realized that something was wrong and hurriedly went to pull Bei Dye, but he tried his best to only catch the corner of her clothes.

In the endless fall, an extremely strong external force came out of nowhere, impacting the two of them respectively, and the fragile clothing was overwhelmed and finally cracked.

Ji Changkong clutched the corner of his coat tightly in his hand, watching Bei Ran being sucked away by external forces, and he didn't know where he had gotten it.
