As the mechanism was moved, the true qi within Hu Bayi's body surged madly into the center of the star pillar.
The star pillar also began to change.
The star lines on it started to shift their positions slightly.
As if unwilling to be broken by Hu Bayi, the star lines appeared somewhat chaotic.
Shirley Yang looked at the oddly shaped star pillar with a mixture of confusion and surprise in her eyes.
She didn't understand how Hu Bayi made the star lines on the pillar turn, nor how the mechanism on it opened.
However, Shirley Yang knew that such a thing was absolutely impossible for an ordinary person to accomplish.
While Hu Bayi was deciphering the star pillar.
Zhang Tian and the other two had been battling the golden dragon for no less than three hundred rounds.
Just as there were the Three Heroes Battling Lu Bu in ancient times, there were now Zhang Tian and the other two battling the golden dragon.
"Boss, why is our attack completely useless? Damn it, Fatty has been sent flying more than ten times already."
Fatty complained while tanking damage.
Fatty's face was already bruised and swollen, looking like a pig's head.
Fatty's body cultivation was good, but body cultivation didn't mean he wouldn't get injured. Currently, Fatty had been hit too many times, and his physique was struggling to keep up.
"We just need to stall them. Hurry and dodge, it's about to spray golden light again."
Zhang Tian shouted, and in the next moment, the golden dragon above them condensed golden gas in its mouth again. As the golden dragon opened its mouth, a golden beam of light was once again spat out.
Zhang Tian and the others could only keep dodging to avoid being hit.
After all, their attacks had no effect on the golden dragon. Zhang Tian simply stopped attacking.
It was a waste of stamina and true qi. Rather than that, it was better to dodge and stall, allowing Hu Bayi to break the formation.
At this moment, with Hu Bayi's side, as the last star line was pulled out by Hu Bayi.
The pattern of Sirius on the star pillar gradually became clearer.
Hu Bayi's hands were trembling slightly at this moment.
He looked at Shirley Yang beside him.
"Yang, I can only hold on for a few seconds. As soon as the formation opens, you need to rush out. Can you do that?"
Hu Bayi looked at Shirley Yang, his voice hoarse but still relatively gentle.
Shirley Yang looked at Hu Bayi and nodded seriously.
Hu Bayi nodded, then waved his hand on the star pillar, his true qi surging wildly.
Hu Bayi gritted his teeth, his true qi continuously pouring into the star pillar.
Due to time constraints, Hu Bayi could only temporarily choose this aggressive method of breaking the formation.
If it were in the past, Hu Bayi might have chosen to break it slowly.
But the situation was urgent now, so he had to choose the fastest method.
As Hu Bayi's aggressive intervention continued, the Sirius star pillar pattern became even clearer.
In the next moment, a small hole appeared next to the stone pillar.
"Quick."
Hu Bayi's voice was urgent.
Upon seeing the small hole appear, Shirley Yang rushed forward almost without hesitation.
Hu Bayi only managed to hold on for two to three seconds.
But those two to three seconds were enough.
By now, Shirley Yang had already rushed out.
She looked at the people within the eight stone pillars and quickly rummaged through her backpack.
Seeing Shirley Yang exit the formation, Zhang Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
With this, they only needed to destroy the stone pillars, and they would be safe.
"Miss Yang, please hurry."
Fatty shouted from inside.
He was almost bald from the golden dragon's tail sweeps.
Shirley Yang nodded, took out a stick of dynamite from her backpack.
Then she ran towards the stone pillar without hesitation.
"Teacher Li, she's actually carrying a bomb."
Little Guang, lying on the ground, looked surprised.
The golden dragon had no intelligence, so it only attacked those who attracted its attention. Now that Zhang Tian and the others were distracting it, Professor Li and the others were quite safe.
"This is professionalism."
Professor Li sighed with emotion.
This trip had shown him what professional archaeology truly was.
As for his own work, it was at most child's play.
"Teacher Li, I think we can try to win them over. Perhaps they can provide substantial help to our Archaeological Institute."
Little Guang said earnestly.
"I've thought about it too, but what can our institute offer them?"
Professor Li retorted.
He was self-aware.
Honor, Zhang Tian probably didn't need it. Money, he couldn't afford it.
Morality? Would they really be bound by your morals?
"No, Teacher Li, I mean, if we can get out, we can visit antique shops. We can be a bit shameless and visit them several times."
"Perhaps there will be a miracle."
Little Guang had a smile on his face.
This guy intended to adopt a thick-skinned strategy.
"Alas, this kind of thing should not be done. It might make them have a bad impression of us."
"Forget it. As long as we can get out alive, that's enough."
Professor Li waved his hand, clearly not approving of Little Guang's idea.
While the two were talking, Shirley Yang had already run to the pillar.
After placing the bomb, Shirley Yang lit it and ran far away.
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion.
The pillar outside the golden hall was directly blown up by Shirley Yang's bomb.
To Zhang Tian's surprise, the bomb's power was so great that it only destroyed the stone pillar in front of him.
The great hall behind it was not affected at all.
This indirectly indicated that the great hall in front was very sturdy, and there were likely many load-bearing pillars inside, otherwise, with the power of the bomb, the hall would have collapsed long ago.
As the two stone pillars collapsed, the golden dragon within the formation let out a roar, and one golden dragon split into two again.
At the same time, the golden dragon's shadow became increasingly illusory.
Within a minute, the huge golden dragon before them disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Just as expected."
Seeing the golden dragon disappear, Zhang Tian put away his whisk.
This golden dragon was transformed from the stone pillars behind it. It had no intelligence, but its attack power was very strong.
This was a very powerful formation.
Zhang Tian had not expected that the Feng Shui and formation techniques of King Xian's tomb had reached this level.
"Oh my god, that's great. We finally got rid of that little beast. Fatty was almost played to death."
Fatty breathed a sigh of relief, a relaxed smile appearing on his face.
Zhang Tian patted Fatty on the shoulder.
"Fatty, you performed well this time."
Seeing the satisfaction in his boss's eyes, Fatty's heart stirred.
A sense of accomplishment surged up.
"Of course, who do you think I am? I am the reincarnation of Xuanwu. What can I not endure?"
Fatty became smug at this moment.
Zhang Tian gave him a look. A little encouragement and Fatty would be beaming all day.
As the golden dragon disappeared, Zhang Tian's gaze fell upon the surrounding star pillars.
Now, only these remained.
"Brother Zhang, how will you get out?"
Shirley Yang stood outside, looking at the formation inside with some concern.
"It's fine. This formation is easy to break. Old Hu was worried about time just now, so he used a different method."
Zhang Tian waved his hand, not bothered by these eight star pillars.
The main trouble was the golden dragon just now. That was the truly troublesome part.
Seeing Zhang Tian say this, Shirley Yang was also relieved and looked towards Zhang Tian.
At this moment, Zhang Tian and Hu Bayi exchanged glances, and they tacitly walked towards both sides.
"Second Brother, do you see? This is telepathy. When will you and Fatty have telepathy?"
Fatty nudged Zhang Qilin with his elbow.
Zhang Qilin glanced at Fatty.
He couldn't be bothered with this guy.
He liked to play games, and his thoughts were pretty grand.
