The golden stone pillars were no longer adorned with carved golden dragons.
Clearly, the golden dragons had detached themselves from the stone pillars.
"The reason this golden dragon is unkillable is because it's not the true body at all. To resolve it, we only need to deal with the stone pillars."
"However, the only difficulty is that to get close to the stone pillars, we must first deal with the eight star pillars in front of us."
Hu Bayi said repeatedly.
This formation was quite subtle.
Eight stone pillars trapped the intruders.
Then, two more stone pillars outside the formation launched attacks.
This way, to deal with the attackers, one had to break the formation, but by breaking the formation, one would be continuously attacked by the assailants.
It could be said that such a formation was difficult to crack, unless one broke the formation first, and also had the strength to withstand the attacks from within the formation.
"How about this, Old Hu, we'll stall them while trying to break the formation. As long as we break one star pillar and create an exit, Miss Yang should be able to get out," Zhang Tian said softly.
Hu Bayi instantly understood Zhang Tian's idea.
Zhang Tian's idea was simple: when a star pillar was destroyed, a gap would momentarily appear in the formation, and Shirley Yang could escape.
Of course, the gap would be very brief, and Shirley Yang had to be quick.
Once Shirley Yang was out, Zhang Tian estimated she would have explosives with her, and then they could blow up the pillars.
"Roar!"
Just then, the two golden dragons circling in the sky seemed to have absorbed all the energy from the pillars.
With a roar,
the two golden dragons actually began to merge.
The shadows of the two golden dragons overlapped, and gradually, a giant golden dragon, tens of meters long, appeared before everyone.
"It's fused!"
"The power seems to have doubled!"
Zhang Tian's heart sank.
Their attacks had no effect on the golden dragon, but the dragon's attacks were tangible.
Now, with the golden dragon's power increased, it would undoubtedly be a difficult battle.
At this moment, Professor Li finally reacted.
He looked at the large pit on the ground and sat down on it with a thud.
"It's over. So many of us have died, and all our efforts have been in vain."
Professor Li murmured, looking somewhat dazed.
"Teacher Li, this is not the time to think about this! It's just a camera. We'll definitely be able to capture better photos in the future," Xiao Guang said, trying to comfort him.
It was true that Professor Li had brought fifteen people to this tomb, and now many were dead or injured.
All for the photographic clues and research subjects.
But now, his hard work was gone, and how could he not despair?
Hearing Xiao Guang's words, Professor Li still felt weary.
However, upon hearing the dragon's roar from above again, Professor Li knew that this was not a time for sadness.
"We'll hide and try not to cause you any trouble. Thank you, comrade," Professor Li said, thanking Zhang Qilin.
Zhang Qilin merely nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Looking at the giant divine dragon above, Zhang Qilin felt his blood boiling.
"Roar."
Another roar, and the five-clawed golden dragon slammed down with immense force, as if it possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth.
"Old Hu, let's go!"
Zhang Tian shouted. Zhang Tian, Hu Bayi, and Fatty, along with Zhang Qilin, charged forward with their weapons.
"Damn it, take this five-fragrance spicy strike from Fatty!"
Fatty's small knife fiercely slashed towards the golden dragon in front of him.
"Bang!"
As Fatty charged forward, the golden dragon swept its tail, sending Fatty flying again.
He crashed into a star pillar nearby.
"It seems to be attacking more, and it's become more agile," Zhang Tian said, frowning slightly as he looked at the golden dragon.
"Boss, there are patterns on this star pillar that are glowing!" Fatty shouted from near a pillar, having been thrown there.
"Breaking the star pillar isn't difficult; the main challenge is how to keep this golden dragon occupied," Hu Bayi said. Just as he finished speaking,
the golden dragon's mouth emitted a faint glow.
In the next moment, a golden light shot out from the dragon's mouth.
The golden light was as tangible as solidified matter, and it struck the ground, creating a deep pit.
"Holy crap, what is this?"
Zhang Tian's heart trembled as he saw the golden dragon spitting out something like a laser. He had never seen anything like it before.
"Scatter!"
Zhang Tian shouted, and they began to spread out. At the same time, Zhang Qilin's Black Gold Ancient Blade repeatedly struck the golden dragon's body,
producing crisp sounds.
The golden dragon seemed attracted to Zhang Qilin, and its tail swept past with lightning speed.
Zhang Qilin leaped to dodge the attack, then slashed his Black Gold Ancient Blade, coating it with evil energy.
He then unleashed a blade energy.
A massive blood-red blade was unleashed, and the golden dragon was actually pushed back several steps by Zhang Qilin.
"Good opportunity! Old Hu, Qilin, and Fatty will hold this thing off. You go break the formation," Zhang Tian said. Hu Bayi nodded.
His figure flashed as he ran towards a star pillar.
Professor Li and the other person lying on the ground, both eyes wide with shock and amazement.
At this moment, they didn't know how to describe their feelings.
With Zhang Qilin attracting the golden dragon's attention, Zhang Tian was now riding on its head.
His whisk repeatedly whipped at the dragon's head.
The golden dragon's massive body writhed frantically, and its scales seemed to stand on end.
In the next moment, with a flash of light, Zhang Tian was sent flying.
Zhang Qilin's eyes were hit by a golden light, and in the next moment, a dragon's tail swept past, and Zhang Qilin was also knocked back several meters.
Zhang Tian looked at the opponent, who was proving difficult to handle, and could only hope that Hu Bayi would finish quickly.
[Holy crap, this golden dragon is too strong! It's the first time I've seen Zhang Qilin at a disadvantage.]
[Good heavens, it can even fuse. Is this the one summoned by seven Dragon Balls?]
[Gathering seven Dragon Balls to summon a divine dragon to guard the formation, right?]
[This golden dragon should be a five-clawed golden dragon, and it should have Dragon Balls. Zhang Tian is in danger now.]
[Good heavens, those two experts are truly daring. They dare to take pictures in this situation.]
[You people in front might not have seen how extreme someone can be for the sake of scientific research.]
Countless people were discussing on the scene.
Meanwhile, Chen Xi, sitting in the audience, was silent.
Looking at Professor Li, she saw a reflection of her past self.
For the sake of scientific research, she had given up almost everything.
She spent day and night buried in the research lab.
Yet, in the end, she realized she was wrong.
For a moment, Chen Xi felt a strange sensation.
However, as she looked at the golden dragon in front of her, she felt a bit perplexed.
Did dragons truly exist in this world?
But why had she never seen any on any media or videos?
Moreover, the existence of dragons completely violated biological principles.
They could fly in the sky without wings.
"If dragons truly exist, then where would they be?"
Chen Xi wondered. She took out her phone and searched the internet.
Except for the incident in '98, there seemed to be nothing else.
She looked back at the screen.
Zhang Tian, Zhang Qilin, and Fatty were frantically attacking the golden dragon.
Fatty had become a human shield, constantly taking damage.
Meanwhile, Hu Bayi's side seemed to be making some progress.
"Sirius, I hope you won't disappoint me," Hu Bayi murmured, his compass flashing with light.
On the stone pillar in front of him, the star lines of Sirius were glowing.
Hu Bayi placed his hand on the stone pillar and began to move a small mechanism on it.
Clearly, Hu Bayi intended to first break open a hole in the Sirius pillar!
