Hmph. " Tang Ling forced a smile at Ro Li's question and answered with a perfunctory chuckle.
'What the hell? Is this blockhead really following me everywhere?' He even ignores Ro Xin's words and follows me?
What a loyal friend!
However, Tang Ling was troubled. How was he going to get rid of this idiot?
Ro Xin looked at Tang Ling and asked, "How do you know formations?"
"No, I don't know formations yet. I just know how to mechanically compare the patterns. " As he spoke, he fished out the piece of paper from his pocket and passed it to her. "I don't have much time, so I've got a total of 56 pairs. I wanted to ask for your opinion, but you're a busy man."
Confused, Ro Xin took the piece of paper from Tang Ling. She was shocked at first glance. She did not expect Tang Ling to be able to draw the formation and even the magic weave so precisely. Even Ro Xin had to spend a lot of time to draw them.
"You … a day?" Ro Xin's expression changed, but she did not forget that time was of the essence. She led Tang Ling and Ro Li forward. They were not at the crucial point of the formation, so it was relatively easy for Ro Xin to decipher it.
"Hmm, a day. Isn't that a little too long?" Tang Ling scratched the back of his head and asked with a smile.
Indeed, even with his Precise Instinct, he only managed to compare 56 pairs of formation and magic weave that shared the same function in a day. Tang Ling was not satisfied with the speed.
Looking at Tang Ling's smile, Ro Xin suddenly had the urge to beat him to death. Is he showing off?
Ro Xin kept quiet with a dark face. She wanted to cry again because she felt like an idiot.
As they walked, Ro Xin looked at the results. The more she looked at it, the more shocked she became. She stopped and asked, "Did you compare all these?"
"Is it helpful?" Tang Ling sized up the surroundings. He could see the entrance from where he was.
He saw the people from the Stardust Council moving forward under the command of the big-headed monster.
Judging from their position, they had moved forward at least three steps and they were all correct.
"It's very helpful." The comparison was not as simple as Tang Ling made it out to be. Instead, it was exhausting. If the comparison was that easy, the Ro family would not have spent three generations of their lives on it. In the end, they only had a 60% chance of breaking the formation.
The symbols that Tang Ling compared were a little similar to the ones in the notebook, which proved that Tang Ling was correct.
Some of them did not repeat themselves, but they did provide a lot of help to her.
"As long as it's helpful." Tang Ling was calm as he heaved a breath of relief in his heart. The big-headed monster seemed powerful. If he did not have an absolute advantage to shake it off, as long as the monster took advantage of every single time and knew the starting point, he might really be intercepted or even overtaken by the others.
Tang Ling was really calm in his heart, but for some reason, she felt like he was showing off. She grunted and shoved the piece of paper back to him before she walked ahead of the others.
"I really don't understand." Tang Ling was speechless. Ro Li whispered behind him, "She's always been strong. You don't understand."
What does it have to do with being strong? Tang Ling was indeed clueless.
**
Inside the haunted house.
Tang Ling, Ro Li, and Draconic Seven led the Stardust Council into a battle to break the formation.
She had to admit that Collow was indeed strong. His cracking speed was almost on par with Ro Xin's, and it was even after Ro Xin had Tang Ling's help to compare the results.
Of course, Colo had the help of advanced machines. Their analysis speed was many times faster than the human brain, but Colo had to provide the correct direction for the calculation.
No one spoke. Draconic Seven initially wanted to provoke them, but as the formation slowly broke, he became quiet.
Was there anything stranger than the haunted house? At least, Draconic Seven could not think of any other place in his memory.
Sometimes, they were very close to Tang Ling and the others, but it was no different from walking past them.
For example, they were standing on Staircase A while Tang Ling and the others were standing on Staircase B. The two staircases were next to each other, and the only difference was the difference in height.
The difference was less than half a meter, and it felt like they could catch Tang Ling with their hands.
However, they could not touch them. They just could not touch the three of them.
The few soldiers that Draconic Seven sent to grab Ro Xin's feet reached out and half of their bodies strangely vanished as if they were sliced by something.
Draconic Seven's probing seemed to have angered Colo, so he turned around and warned him, "Even if they are right in front of you, don't even try to touch them. Unless we catch up to them, don't. "
"Why?" Draconic Seven had been enduring Colo's bad temper, but he had to.
"Haven't you seen a spatial ability user before? Don't you think that those dead guys were killed by spatial ability users? "Colo raised his eyebrows, his tone full of impatience.
Draconic Seven furrowed his brows. He felt a chill down his spine when he looked at this place.
Indeed, those few dead soldiers were killed by the signature move of a spatial ability user, the Space Slash.
What did it mean? It meant that this place was filled with spatial blades.
The stairs that seemed close to each other were actually very far away from each other. When the huge space was compressed together, it would form a spatial blade.
Therefore, as soon as Draconic Seven and Colo finished their conversation, they heard a few muffled thuds. Then, they saw with their own eyes that the disappearing bodies of the soldiers reappeared on the stairs about ten meters away from them.
Draconic Seven's forehead was drenched in cold sweat. A phrase echoed in his heart, 'It's only a dozen meters. It's only a visual estimation.'
You can't trust your own eyes in this place.
If the brush of shoulders was the first shock in Draconic Seven's heart, the next shock was even stranger. They watched the three of them walk into the wall.
They were like paintings on the wall, but they were still moving and moving forward.
Humans were three-dimensional! No matter how realistic the paintings on the wall were, they were still two-dimensional! They could not create the realism of a three-dimensional world, no matter how much visual effects were used to deceive people.
It felt like the three of them had turned into paper men walking forward. Whenever he thought about how they would end up like him, Draconic Seven felt chills from the bottom of his heart.
His thoughts even started to go haywire. If he walked into the wall and then walked out, would he still be himself?
Humans would always instinctively fear the unknown.
"They are in the wall, but they are in another space. It's just that they're in another dimension. That's the charm of this place. "Collow's eyes flashed with excitement.
He tried to comfort Draconic Seven, but Draconic Seven thought that Colo was a psychopath.
Draconic Seven and the others arrived at the fork in the road that the three of them came from.
Between the window and the other way down, Colo used seven minutes to calculate the correct answer.
He chose the window.
While the group of them were trembling in fear, they felt like they had jumped off a building and landed on the ground.
The strange laughter sounded again. It was exactly the same as when the three of them passed. "Huh? Hahahaha …"
"Who? Who is it? " Draconic Seven was calm. He instinctively pulled out his gun, but judging from his trembling thumb, it was obvious that he was having a mental breakdown.
As a matter of fact, some of the soldiers felt that something was not right from the start. They kept hearing strange noises in the house, but they could not pinpoint the source.
Now, everyone heard the laughter. It was impossible for the three of them to make the noises, and they could not lie to themselves anymore.
"Ghosts!" One of the soldiers screamed, but Draconic Seven grabbed him and tossed him out of the stairs.
In the next moment, the dismembered body of the soldier who had been thrown out fell to the ground and appeared on several different staircases.
"Those who disrupt the morale of the soldiers will die." Draconic Seven put away his gun and said coldly. Even though he was tortured to the point that he had a mental breakdown in this hellish place, he would not allow the soldiers to fall into chaos.
"Idiots," Colo said sarcastically.
**
The three of them were left with the last three stairs.
One of them led to the ceiling and strangely extended all the way to the ceiling. It was blurry and blurry, and no one knew where it led to.
The other one led to the second floor. Yes, the second floor was finally in sight. It was a dark corridor and nothing could be seen.
The last one led to the wall, and in the middle of the wall, there was a vivid tunnel with the stairs leading to the end.
"According to the Ro clan's notes, the second layer of the formation will end here. This is the last crucial formation point. Once we crack it, we can enter the three main streets of the Ninth Ruins. In other words, now that we've broken the second formation, we can move freely in most of the Ninth Ruins. "Ro Xin inhaled deeply.
As a matter of fact, the Ro clan's biggest wish back then was to unlock the second layer of the formation. If most of the Ninth Ruins could move freely, it would be enough to protect everyone in the Ro Drifter Camp.
"This stage won't be easy. Tang Ling, you have to help me." As she spoke, she passed the formation blueprint to Tang Ling.
As a matter of fact, she had memorized the formation blueprint by heart.
Tang Ling got serious. He sat down with his legs crossed and took out the Ro clan's teachings about formations. He started to compare and analyze the blueprint.
They had plenty of time now.
At first, Colo's speed was comparable to Ro Xin's, but because of the crucial formation points, they were left behind.
The biggest advantage of Tang Ling's comparison was that it could speed up the analysis of the crucial formation points.
"We have at least 20 minutes to compare." Tang Ling calculated in his heart before he started to discuss with Ro Xin.
Ro Li was a little bored at the moment. He subconsciously looked around and yawned.
"I think we should eliminate the entrance to the second floor first." Ro Xin wanted to cross out one of the entrances after she analyzed and compared the blueprint.
The elimination method was an ancient method that would work wonders at any time, and this time was no exception.
Tang Ling furrowed his brows as a strange feeling filled his heart.
Judging from the formation theory, the entrance to the second floor should be eliminated the most, and it looked like a typical trap.
From a logical point of view, along the way, they had also discovered a pattern. Often, the path that seemed the most normal and logical was the wrong choice, and the path that seemed the strangest and most impossible was the true path.
This showed that the master's habitual thinking was like this, which was very difficult to break.
But was that really the case? The strange feeling in Tang Ling's heart came from this, but he could not grasp the opportunity.
"Argh …" Ro Li yawned again.
"Bro, can't you keep quiet? You can't be interrupted right now." Ro Xin turned around and glared at the idle Ro Li.
Ro Li stretched his body and said, "I think your thinking is wrong."
"What do you mean?" Ro Xin raised a brow.
"I don't know what you mean either. You said you wanted to eliminate this entrance, and my instinct told me you're wrong." Ro Li pointed at the entrance to the second floor, which was the one that Ro Xin wanted to eliminate.
"Instinct?" Ro Xin had a feeling that her brother was here to mess things up.
Beside her, Tang Ling bolted up and looked at her. "Then, do you think this is the right path? Can you feel it? Can you feel it? "
Tang Ling seized the inspiration and asked Ro Li in a serious tone.
"Hmm." As expected, Ro Li closed his eyes and put on an extremely serious expression as if he was sensing something.
Ro Xin did not say anything, but judging from her expression, she really thought it was ridiculous.
"I don't know what's right or wrong. I just think it'll be fine if we go up from here," Ro Li opened his eyes and told Tang Ling.
"Fine. Then … "As Tang Ling spoke, he stepped forward and was about to step on the stairs leading to the tunnel.
Ro Xin pulled him back in fear. "Are you confident? If not, this is the last key point of the formation. If you take a wrong step, even a single step, you'll be doomed eternally. "
"No, but I have a little inspiration. More importantly …" Tang Ling looked at Ro Xin. "Ro Li said that I should believe in this little inspiration."
Right after his words subsided, Tang Ling's foot landed on the first step of the stairs.
The moment his footsteps landed, a strange, drifting, and earth-shattering laughter came from the pitch-black tunnel on the second floor.
