The three of them walked forward and arrived at the first room. Qian Wangsun's eyes flickered, and the Illumination Array Stone swept in his direction. He frowned and said, "What the hell is this?"
They saw a few huge cages standing at the end of the room. There were large patches of blood stains in the cages, and other than that, there was nothing else.
Not finding any clues, the three of them gulped and could only continue walking forward.
In the second room, the first thing that came into view was an intact small bed in the middle of the room. The bedding on the small bed was neatly folded, and there was an intact wardrobe, bookcase, desk, and other things on the side.
"Ah!" Cristina suddenly screamed, "Someone's dead! On the left! "
Zhou Bai looked in the direction Cristina was pointing and controlled the Illumination Array Stone to float over.
Under the illumination of the Illumination Array Stone, there were rows of neatly stacked dolls' heads in the corner of the room not far away. The eyes and noses on the dolls' heads seemed to have been painted, and they looked crooked. Only their mouths were completely scarlet, large and curved, as if they were smiling strangely.
Zhou Bai asked in puzzlement, "Someone lives here?"
"Something's not right." Qian Wangsun felt goosebumps all over his body, and his eyes were filled with intense pain. "I feel that something's not right. It's Gong Tu's' intuition '. Let's go. Let's go."
Zhou Bai and Jianxing exchanged glances. Gong Tu was best at observation and searching, and he could even enhance his intuition and sense of danger. Since Qian Wangsun said that, coupled with the strange situation in the building, they decided to leave immediately.
However, the moment they stepped out of the room, there was a loud bang. The three of them hurriedly turned their heads and realized that the door was tightly shut. They had no idea when it had been closed.
At the same time, countless blood-red talismans appeared, almost covering the entire corridor, ceiling, and floor. They emitted a bloody smell.
At the instant something happened —
Jianxing, who cultivated the Saber Diagram and had already grasped several martial arts, reacted the fastest. The moment the door closed, he had already dodged and charged forward. His palm mixed with the Power of Essence Soul struck the door fiercely.
There was a loud boom, and a faint glow flickered on Jian Xing's palm. The power of his soul, which was at least 160 points, suddenly erupted, but the door before him did not budge at all.
"It's so hard!" Jian Xing exclaimed as he looked at the door that was covered with red talismans.
Qian Wangsun, who was at the side, looked at the changes in front of him with a face full of caution. His eyes glimmered. It was the insight that Gong Tu had developed that helped him observe the changes in Spiritium.
"It's a formation." Qian Wangsun sighed as he observed, "The entire seventh building has been sealed off by an array formation. With our strength, we won't be able to escape by force."
Hearing the word 'array', Zhou Bai immediately frowned.
In this world's Immortal Dao civilization, formations required a lot of preparation time, a lot of energy, and a lot of power.
Among the nine basic divine diagrams, the 'Earth' diagram represented the path of cultivating formations.
According to Lv Chongyang's introduction and Zhou Bai's own learning, once a cultivator who cultivated the 'Earth' diagram was fully prepared and set up a perfect formation, he would be almost invincible among those of the same level.
He could even challenge those of a higher level, defeat those of a higher level, and defeat those of a lower number.
However, the formation consumed a lot of resources. The more powerful the formation, the more preparation was needed. It might even consume one's lifespan or permanently reduce the Power of Essence Soul.
Seeing that the entire abandoned building was sealed off by an array formation, the three of them did not look good. Jianxing looked at the strange blood talismans on the wall and scratched his head nervously. "This is troublesome."
"How could this be?" Cold sweat dripped down Qian Wangsun's forehead. "Why would an array formation suddenly be activated in the abandoned dormitory?"
Qian Wangsun suddenly thought of the six buildings he had been to before. His eyes flashed, and he said angrily, "Damn it, I didn't even react in time …" He turned to look at Zhou Bai and Jianxing and asked, "Tell me about the situation of the buildings you've inspected. I have some guesses."
After listening to their experiences, Qian Wangsun sighed and said, "The fifth building was damp, the fourth building was lush, the third building was charred and talisman paper, the second building was covered in dust, and the first building was so dilapidated that even the steel bars were exposed. Damn it … nurture, grow, bear fruit, decline, and death. This is gathering the five elements.
The situation on my side is the opposite. This is a formation related to the positive and negative five elements. I've been tricked. "
Jianxing scratched his head hard and said, "Who would set up a formation in a place like this? It's impossible that the school didn't find out, right? "
A figure flashed in Zhou Bai's mind. He looked at Qian Wangsun and said, "Who reported that you found these pages?"
"Teacher Xing Jun. Right, he should know that I will come here tonight. If that's the case …"
Zhou Bai's expression darkened, and he said slowly, "There's something wrong with Xing Jun."
Seeing their puzzled gazes, Zhou Bai said, "It was Xing Jun who called you here, right? Jianxing? It was Xing Jun who revealed the information about the comprehensive search here to you, Qian Wangsun. "
"And as far as I know …" Zhou Bai mentioned the suspicion of Xing Jun killing Sakura. "This person is very suspicious."
Qian Wangsun crossed his arms and said thoughtfully, "Although there is not enough evidence, it is possible. Teacher Xing Jun is a fifth realm cultivator, and with his identity as a teacher, he has the chance to set up a formation here. "
Jianxing scratched his bald head. "But, why would he do that?"
Qian Wangsun shook his head in confusion.
On the side, Zhou Bai thought to himself, Is it related to the Book of Dao … Xing Jun was originally an examiner for the entrance test. He should have seen the first sentence of the Book of Dao on my entrance test, so he thinks I am related to it? So he tried to get close to me after I entered the school?
That makes sense. If that's the case, it can be explained. He deliberately let Sakura get close to me and possess me to find out the secret of the Book of Dao? But Sakura faked her death and escaped. In the end, he forced Sakura to possess me again and killed her after she failed?
Did he deliberately set up this trap today to lure me in?
The more Zhou Bai thought about it, the more suspicious he felt that Xing Jun was. But when he thought of the other's fifth realm cultivation, he felt discouraged.
He, Qian Wangsun, and Jianxing were all cultivators of the 0 realm. Their Daoization Degree was not even 10%. How could they fight against a fifth realm cultivator whose Daoization Degree was more than 50%?
At the same time, doubts rose in his mind.
If it really is Xing Jun, why would he set up a formation in this abandoned building? If he wants to catch us, he doesn't need to make such a grand preparation, right? And … I remember Li Xiuzhu said last time that Xing Jun should be using the Human Map. The fifth realm Giant Spirit Map is not a map that can be used to set up formations.
Jianxing said, "No matter what, we can only move forward now." Looking at the reflected blood light in the corridor, he said seriously, "I am the Saber Map, Qian Wangsun is the Bow Map, and Zhou Bai is the Sword Map. Everyone is also at the 0 realm. We can't use our cultivation to break this formation, so we can only move forward. "
Qian Wangsun nodded. "No matter who set up this formation, we can't get out of here. We can only find another place."
