After Yang Rui proposed the conditions for subduing the NPCs, the three elders were obviously stunned. Then, they frowned and began to think.
"You don't have to give me an answer immediately. Think about it for the time being. At the same time, tell this information to the leaders of the other civilizations on the Death Island …"
After seeing the Third Senior Elder's performance, Yang Rui said a few words and left.
In fact, this was not the time to bargain. Everything still depended on whether Guo Jia could successfully set up the ancient teleportation array. If he succeeded, the NPCs who were willing to pledge their allegiance would be taken away. Those who were unwilling would stay in the damp city and continue to resist the Beast Tide.
In that case, the NPCs on the Death Island would not have much choice. Yang Rui had a high chance of subduing most of the NPCs …
Of course, the premise of all this was that Guo Jia could successfully set up the ancient teleportation array.
"Be on full alert and keep quiet!"
Not long after returning from the upper level of the Colosseum, Yang Rui transferred 10000 skilled craftsmen from Sky City to assist Guo Jia in setting up the ancient teleportation array. At the same time, Yang Rui, Zhang Ning, Gao Shun, and Xu You each led tens of thousands of soldiers and distributed them around the Colosseum. They surrounded the people involved in setting up the teleportation array.
At the same time, Yang Rui ordered a large number of torches to be lit all over the Colosseum. The entire Colosseum was illuminated to satisfy the needs of Guo Jia and the other support archers at night.
After interacting with Guo Jia, Yang Rui also had a preliminary understanding of formations. There were actually many kinds of mediums for setting up a formation. For example, the formation flags used by Guo Jia's Four Symbols Maze and Eight Gate Golden Lock Town were one of them.
Another example was on the battlefield. Usually, the formation was formed by Generals and soldiers. At this time, the mediums used by Guo Jia to set up the ancient teleportation array were very different. He used some inherent materials, such as Void Stones, sprinklers, low-grade wood, and stone materials, and other items and tools that Yang Rui was unfamiliar with.
The large pile of Void Cloud Stones and the one meter tall fountain were Guo Jia's personal items. Yang Rui had only provided 10000 units of Grade 8 Flint Wood and 100000 units of Common Stone.
Of course, these special items were only used to provide the framework for the ancient teleportation array. The most important items were the more than 30 Secondary Crystal Cores of various grades. At the same time, there was also the ancient teleportation array pattern that Guo Jia had carefully drawn with his jet spray.
The three-feet-tall fountain was obviously quite heavy, but the carving of the ancient teleportation array could not tolerate any mistakes. Therefore, Guo Jia could only hold onto the sprinkler by himself and push it forward step by step.
Originally, Guo Jia was just a famous historical scholar. Physical work was obviously not suitable for famous scholars. After a short while, Guo Jia was sweating profusely. Obviously, he had used up a lot of his strength.
However, the others could only watch from the sidelines. They couldn't help in the slightest. Guo Jia had already explained this when he first set up the teleportation array. The traces of the ancient teleportation array could only be completed in one go. At the same time, the Void Stones had to be placed at certain key points. There couldn't be any stops in between.
This physical work lasted for more than an hour. When Guo Jia finally completed the traces of the ancient teleportation array, he was already panting from exhaustion. But overall, this step was completed neatly and laid the foundation for the construction of the ancient teleportation array.
However, this was only the beginning. After the traces were drawn, they had only completed the first step of the ancient teleportation array. The next step was the construction of the main body of the teleportation array.
"Add stones to the square part and wood to the round part. Don't mix them up. Remember to leave a hollow space every ten feet from top to bottom and every thirty feet from left to right …"
Although Guo Jia was exhausted, he didn't stop. Instead, he circled around the traces of the ancient teleportation array and constantly guided the craftsmen to build the main body of the teleportation array.
The 10000 craftsmen could be said to be majestic. However, this was the first time they were involved in this kind of construction. Therefore, the construction speed wasn't too fast. This situation lasted for more than an hour before the craftsmen became more familiar with the construction.
This went on for more than an hour. A huge teleportation array's main body appeared before the eyes of Yang Rui and the others. It was almost three times the size of an ordinary teleportation array in the game!
However, until now, the teleportation array was just a dead building. At the very least, the 30 Crystal Cores hadn't been placed yet.
As expected, the moment the teleportation array's exterior was completed, Yang Rui rode on the Flying Carpet under Guo Jia's instructions and rushed over.
Guo Jia was going to place the Crystal Cores! Guo Jia and Yang Rui had agreed beforehand that the 30 Crystal Cores would be placed in various positions of the teleportation array's main body. Yang Rui's Flying Carpet would be needed to coordinate with them.
"Lord Prefecture Overseer, first of all, you need to start from the first level of wood. Then, you need to move on to the fire, earth, metal, and water positions. After that, you need to move on to the next level …"
Before officially setting up the teleportation array, Guo Jia had already explained the principle of the Crystal Core arrangement to Yang Rui. At this time, under Guo Jia's reminder, Yang Rui had already identified these positions clearly. He used the Flying Carpet and Coordination Talisman to carry Guo Jia and set up the Crystal Cores one by one.
"Hum …"
The instant the two of them set up the five Crystal Cores on the first level of the ancient teleportation array, the teleportation array itself actually let out a low rumble. Then, five streams of light were derived from the Crystal Cores. They connected with each other and formed a seven-colored halo. It was very dazzling and magical.
This should mean that the first level of the Five Elements Crystal Cores had been successfully set up! Yang Rui, who was riding the Flying Carpet, was very close to the ancient teleportation array's main body. He was almost the first to sense the occurrence of the phenomenon. Even though Guo Jia had never mentioned the relevant information, Yang Rui had a faint judgment in his heart.
However, in order to not disturb Guo Jia's four paths, Yang Rui would definitely not ask about the relevant matters. Instead, he followed Guo Jia's finger and directly leaped to the second level of the ancient teleportation array's main body. He began to set up the Crystal Cores on the next level.
The reactions of the people in the animal arena who were further away were more obvious. As the ancient teleportation array's first halo lit up, the entire animal arena instantly burst into a commotion. It turned out that the NPCs on the Island of Death had already given up on resting. They all stood on the upper level of the animal arena and watched the process of Guo Jia setting up the teleportation array.
Therefore, some chaos was unavoidable. However, fortunately, Yang Rui had already instructed the three elders. The noise did not last long before it stopped.
In contrast, Yang Rui's troops who were responsible for guarding the base level did not make a sound. Although they were also at the scene, their reaction was a stark contrast to the NPCs on the upper level. It could be seen that Yang Rui's troops were very disciplined.
"Hum …"
After just a few breaths, the second level of the Five Elements Ring was also lit up. Moreover, it was brighter than the first level of the Five Elements Ring! It inevitably caused a small commotion among the NPCs on the upper level of the animal arena.
"Hum …"
Another few breaths passed. The Five Elements Ring lit up on the third level of the teleportation array again. It was even brighter than the previous two levels …
Upon closer inspection, one would realize that the order of the Crystal Cores arranged by Guo Jia was actually not only based on the five elements within a single level. At the same time, the corresponding Crystal Cores of the first and second levels were also inversely related. In fact, this was Guo Jia's arrangement to make up for the different sizes of the Crystal Cores between the different levels.
This kind of change was not mentioned in the ancient teleportation array arrangement method that Guo Jia came into contact with. It was completely based on Guo Jia's own understanding. Before officially setting up the teleportation array, Guo Jia had already informed Yang Rui of the relevant information.
Yang Rui agreed to it almost without thinking. It was not that Yang Rui was reckless or overly trusting Guo Jia. It was just that if they were to completely follow the ancient teleportation array arrangement method, the conditions would not be met. Instead, it was better to change it according to the current conditions. There was still some hope of success!
It was also because of this that Guo Jia's success rate of setting up the ancient teleportation array was suppressed to 30% …
"Hum …"
The fourth level of the Five Elements Ring lit up.
"Hum …"
The fifth level of the Five Elements Ring lit up.
"Hum …"
The sixth level of the Five Elements Ring finally lit up, and at the same time, an invisible energy was also transmitted from the highest level in the reverse direction. The Five Elements Ring, which was originally not very bright, was also charged layer by layer, and its brightness was almost the same as the upper level.
The ancient teleportation array arrangement was a success up to this point!
"Lord Prefecture Overseer, please send me to the top of the teleportation array."
The sixth level of the crystal core was set up, and it seemed to be working well. Yang Rui finally sent Guo Jia to the top of the ancient teleportation array, and then he quickly turned around and left on the Flying Carpet. He was very clear that the next step was the most crucial one.
"Chi!"
Guo Jia stepped onto the top of the ancient teleportation array, but it was unknown when he was already holding a huge weasel bristle in his hand. At the same time, he activated his heart technique, and waved the huge weasel bristle smoothly. Under Guo Jia's control, the light on the sixth level of the ancient teleportation array's Five Elements Ring became even brighter, and it continued to extend upward, reaching the tip of the weasel bristle.
After waving it, the tip of the weasel bristle was already as bright as the sun, illuminating the entire colosseum as if it was daytime. Following that, Guo Jia suddenly pressed the weasel bristle towards the center of the ancient teleportation array, as if he wanted to shoot the light into the interior of the teleportation array.
"Sizzle …"
However, at this moment, the originally orderly mass of light seemed to be disobedient, and it began to jump on the tip of the weasel bristle, as if it was about to burst open. Guo Jia's figure also staggered, and it looked like he was almost bitten by the backlash!
Yang Rui secretly knew that things were not good, but he was very clear that he could not interfere, so he could only tense his body, and prepare to go forward to support Guo Jia at any time. The ancient teleportation array's success rate was originally only 30%, but Guo Jia absolutely could not fail!
"Hum hum hum …"
"Sizzle …"
At the critical moment, Guo Jia seemed to take a deep breath, and waved the weasel bristle forcefully, and finally pressed the mass of light into the ancient teleportation array, and the entire teleportation array began to operate with a roar. It was a success!
