Outside the Ninth Ruins.
It was late at night.
Draconic Seven was leaning on his red-eyed lion with a cigar in his mouth, looking down the hill quietly.
At the bottom of the hill, a group of 50 plus people was rushing towards the Ninth Ruins.
Draconic Seven spat out a mouthful of smoke before he stood up.
At this time, he had already returned to normal. The lightning strike did not cause much substantial damage to him.
He was just a little frustrated. Why was he provoked to this extent by Tang Ling?
However, the people around him did not feel that it was strange. Long Qi was naturally smart enough. He was like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, but he was unpredictable, tyrannical, and extreme. He would suddenly become like a madman. This was the reason why people felt nervous when they were around him.
If Tang Ling did not provoke him, he would not have behaved like Bao Qi.
However, he did not lose his sanity. After the lightning strike, he still stood guard outside the Ninth Ruins quietly as if nothing had happened.
It was probably the scariest part about Bao Qi. He could go berserk and regain his sanity in an instant!
"Colo, do you remember what you said?" The group of people at the bottom of the hill had reached the top of the hill and the Ninth Ruins was right in front of them.
Draconic Seven was the first to walk up and look at a man in the group.
The man had a big head. At first glance, his head circumference was at least two times bigger than a common man's. His gaze was a little dull and his glasses almost slid down to the center of his nose.
He looked a little silly.
However, no one dared to look down on him, including Draconic Seven. Even he dared not speak to him in a condescending manner.
The man before him was the smartest and most outstanding scientist among the younger generation of the Stardust Council.
Scientist was just a general term since the word 'scientist' encompassed a lot of things. Everyone had their own specialties.
However, there was a group of people who were simply scientists, which meant that they were all-rounders! These people were viewed as strategic weapons and deterrents by the major factions of the Purple Moon era, so one could imagine what kind of position they held.
Colo was an all-rounder. Although he had yet to officially become a scientist, it was only a matter of time before he became one.
"The younger generation has their own rules of the game. If the adult factions interfere too much, it won't be beneficial to their growth, "said the mysterious president of the Stardust Council.
Therefore, the most powerful scientist that Draconic Seven could mobilize was Collow.
Did the Guild Leader really care about the rules? Of course, Long Seven had his suspicions!
In fact, there should be some restrictions.
Therefore, be it Tang Ling's incident or the incident that involved Young Master Long and the Sixteenth Young Master, the Stardust Council did not send out any real experts.
Otherwise, how could Tang Ling have survived until now? Even Young Master Long only allowed him to mobilize the Viper Squad.
Draconic Seven narrowed his eyes. Although he was asking Collow, his mind was thinking about something else.
"Here, of course I remember what I said. As long as I can find the entrance, I will be able to break the formation here. "Colo raised his head and adjusted his glasses.
"Good, we've found the entrance. I'll take you there." Draconic Seven then carried Colo over his shoulder and ran towards the southeast corner of the Ninth Ruins.
Pointing at the alley, Long Qi said, "This is the entrance to the entire formation. Today, I saw the people from the Ro family bring Tang Ling into town from here. "
"Great. Let's begin." Colo glanced at the alley in front of him and sat down. He took out a device that looked like a laptop from the old civilization from his backpack but was bigger and thicker.
Colo skillfully turned on the device and a transparent screen appeared before him.
He took out a keyboard from the bottom of the device and started to type on it. His hands were so fast that Draconic Seven raised a brow.
Soon, a 3D map of the Ninth Ruins appeared on the transparent screen. As Colo's hands typed in commands, complicated patterns started to appear on the screen.
It was then that a dozen people appeared beside Colo. They were the young geniuses who had come to the Ninth Ruins with Colo's squad.
They were experts in data analysis.
Colo quickly fused the complicated patterns with the 3D map of the town. Every time he fused a part of the map, he would say to the people beside him, "Part A of the Ninth Ruins. Someone is in charge. Help me analyze the data and send me the list.
"Part B, I've sent this part to you. Yes, you can analyze the data as well."
As soon as Colo got into work mode, his unfocused gaze changed. His gaze was filled with astonishing vigor.
He was talking about things that Draconic Seven did not understand, but the unique aura of a scientist was impressive.
Colo started to work, but Draconic Seven did not disturb him. He did not ask anything either. Instead, he stepped aside and continued to guard the town.
Tang Ling, I'd like to see how you're going to kill me!
**
It was still early in the morning in the town.
As a matter of fact, it had been a day and a night since Tang Ling and the others entered the Ninth Ruins.
Throughout the day and night, she kept herself busy. In front of her was a piece of white paper, and on the paper, she had drawn some complicated patterns.
Beside the white paper was another piece of paper. It was a record of an ancient Huaxia formation. It was also the example formation that she had used to explain the concept of formations to Tang Ling in the afternoon.
"Why is the owner of this town a sorcerer? It's because the way he sets up the formation is completely different from the eastern ones. The formation patterns he uses are also very different.
"Look, here, here, and here. These are the key points where the formation patterns intersect. In the east, they usually use the eye of the formation to hold the line. In other words, they use some special items to connect the whole formation.
"Look at the known formation patterns of the Ninth Ruins that I've drawn. At the key points, they use special symbols that they call magic symbols.
"Didn't you notice the way the patterns are drawn? It's completely different. The eastern way of drawing the patterns is called formation patterns, but the western way is called magic patterns.
"Even though there are many differences, the Ro family has been studying the Ninth Ruins for many years. We realized that regardless of whether it's the eastern or western magic formations, they all have the same effect. We kept sending people here to test the effects of the formations and decided to solve the problem through the results.
"Finally, we found a formation that is similar to the one in the Ninth Ruins. We compared the two and managed to solve a part of it."
That was the explanation she gave Tang Ling in the afternoon.
Therefore, it was no wonder that she thought that if the Ro Drifter Camp had more powerhouses, they might be able to enter the Ninth Ruins this winter.
With more powerhouses, more people could test the formation and solve a part of it.
By then, they would not even have to solve the town's maze. As long as they could solve a part of it, the Ro Drifter Camp could safely spend the winter in the ruins.
Tang Ling had another round of healing in the afternoon, and this time, the effect was better than before.
The strange blue energy around him was reduced to a third of its original amount.
He had already broken through the strength of eight bulls, so he thought he could reach the strength of nine bulls after this round of devouring.
However, something strange happened.
The energy that was devoured went straight into Tang Ling's dantian and was not digested by his body to increase his strength.
In other words, after Tang Ling's strength reached the peak of eight bulls, it would not grow anymore.
It was the first time Tang Ling faced a bottleneck, and he had no idea how to deal with it.
Even though he seemed to be improving very quickly in other people's eyes, he knew that he was actually lacking in the knowledge of cultivation.
He had not gone through many formal classes in the Hope Barrier, and Uncle Su Siao did not have the time to teach him basic knowledge about cultivation either.
Therefore, whenever he ran into a problem, he had no idea how to deal with it.
Until now, Tang Ling did not even know how to categorize the Purple Moon Warriors. What was the difference between a rank 1 Purple Moon Warrior and a rank 2 or 3 Purple Moon Warrior?
Tang Ling's knowledge about the other occupations was even more limited. All he had learned from the database was the tip of the iceberg.
He believed that before he broke through, he would have to study systematically.
Tang Ling could not disturb Ro Xin at the moment. Ro Li did not have the time to discuss anything with Tang Ling either. He had been acting as Ro Xin's assistant and seemed to be performing some complicated calculations.
Tang Ling was also interested in formations.
He purposely copied one of the magic formations of the Ninth Ruins that Ro Xin had drawn, but Ro Xin did not care.
However, she did not care about it. If she had paid a little attention to Tang Ling's imitation, she would have been shocked beyond words because there were no mistakes at all. It was almost like a copy of the original.
What kind of talent was that? Even those who had studied formations for five to six years would not be able to do it, let alone a newbie who was learning formations for the first time.
While the siblings were working hard on the simulation of formations, Tang Ling took out the formation manual from the Ro family and started to learn as fast as he could.
One had to admit that Tang Ling's learning ability was astonishing. In just a short period of time, he had figured out the essence of a formation. It was actually a kind of gathering of energy.
Just like a circuit diagram, as long as there was a source of power, different circuits would be arranged to produce different results, and the way to control them was through switches.
What about formations? They were powered by heaven and earth.
It was not a groundless statement. For example, oxygen in the air was the energy source for combustion, which was also the source of fire.
When the moisture in the air gathered together, it was the source of water.
When the air flowed and rubbed against each other, it would generate static electricity. Be it formation patterns or magical symbols, they were more like a kind of super technology. The essence of a formation should be a kind of formula, just like a certain mathematical result that required many mathematical formulas and theorems to be derived.
Tang Ling did not know why he had the resolve to understand the most difficult part of formations, such as the formation patterns and the magic weave.
However, his understanding was on the right track.
The formation patterns and the magic weave contained the laws of mathematics and of course, other knowledge as well. When the formation was studied to a higher level, it was similar to the basic science of the old civilization. Similar to mathematics and physics, one had to use the most basic formulas to derive all kinds of complicated formulas.
In other words, one had to use all kinds of simple formation patterns to form all kinds of complicated formation patterns and calculate the effect of the formation.
In fact, a large array formation would be formed by the overlapping of various small array formations!
It was a vast and profound knowledge. Even a genius like Tang Ling would find it impossible to truly learn formations in a short period of time and set up a formation.
However, Tang Ling did not need to set up a formation. All he needed to do was to help Ro Xin solve the mystery of the Ninth Ruins.
At that moment, his Precise Instinct was at its fullest, allowing him to make precise comparisons.
He was able to accurately compare the effects of the formation patterns and the magic weave.
With that in mind, Tang Ling took out a piece of white paper and found the ancient Huaxia formation that was similar to the magic formation of the Ninth Ruins from the Ro family's studies. He started to make precise comparisons.
While Ro Xin and Ro Li did not notice, the pen in Tang Ling's hand had already drawn formation patterns one after another on the white paper. Beside the formation patterns was the magic weave.
His progress was slow at first, but it got faster as time went by.
**
"Draconic Seven!" Colo, who was calculating everything quickly, called out to Tang Ling.
Draconic Seven had been waiting beside him, and when Colo called out to him, he was energized.
"Have you solved it?"
"It's not that fast." Colo looked at Draconic Seven like he was looking at an idiot. "Go into this alley. First step, step on the third colored brick with your left foot and step on that side with your right foot. That's right, the second brick diagonally opposite the third colored brick. "
As he spoke, Colo stood up and pointed out the position of the two bricks to Draconic Seven. He emphasized, "Remember, the order in which your left foot and right foot step must not be wrong.
Now, go in? " To be honest, Draconic Seven was a little afraid of the Ninth Ruins. He felt uneasy going in just like that, but since Colo had managed to solve the mystery, how could he not give it a try?
Therefore, he grabbed a soldier beside him and said, "You, go. Follow Colo's instructions. Go into this alley."
The soldier dared not disobey Draconic Seven. If he did, he would suffer a fate worse than being struck by lightning, so all he could do was walk in nervously.
However, a miracle happened this time. There was no lightning, and the soldier entered the Ninth Ruins safely and smoothly!
"The derivation will be faster." Colo adjusted his glasses while Draconic Seven could not hold back the ecstasy in his heart. He knew there was a big secret in this town.
**
At that moment, Tang Ling compared 22 pairs of formation and magic weaves that had the same function. He looked up with furrowed brows and asked, "Other than escaping, why did we break the formation? Is there anything else? "
However, the more he deciphered the formation, the more confused he became. He did not care about the relationship between deciphering the formation and escaping, nor did he care about what Ro Yan had said about the town being connected to Darkness Port.
The owner of the formation had spent so much effort to set it up, but it could not have been to decipher the formation and escape to Darkness Port, could it? Then, what was the purpose of the formation?
Why did the people from the Luo clan know all of this ahead of time without cracking the array?
