Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 588 Bait, Breaking the Formation

"A bunch of idiots, don't let the chaos here corrupt your minds!"

The leading barbarian shaman let out an angry roar.

The shout carried the power of a witch's incantation, which actually subdued the few mad barbarians, rendering them unable to move.

At the same time, the leading barbarian shaman drew a blood-stained bone dagger from his waist and slashed his palm.

He chanted a low, primal incantation and waved his hand, scattering blood all around.

Under the influence of the incantation, the blood he spat out instantly transformed into countless crimson soul-devouring mayflies, which flew towards the strange eyeballs scattered throughout the Guixu Tower.

These eyeballs sensed the danger and began to shoot out even more eerie and chaotic gazes.

“Bang bang bang bang—”

Many of the Soul-Devouring Mayflies were directly "killed by looking at" by these eyeballs, blasted into pools of flesh mist and blood rain.

But even more soul-devouring mayflies pounced on the strange eyeball.

Despite their small size, they can split their bodies apart, turning them into ferocious maws that frantically devour the eyeballs.

While "feeding," they also multiplied and produced more Soul-Devouring Mayflies.

In an instant, all the strange eyeballs were covered by these soul-devouring mayflies.

In just a dozen breaths, all the strange eyeballs that filled the Guixu Tower were devoured!
Without the contamination from the strange eyeballs, the barbarians immediately returned to normal.

Not only did the "rebellious" witchcraft on their bodies subside, but their manic minds also returned to calm, and they no longer thought about tearing apart and devouring their companions.

However, the strange changes and injuries on his body still remain.

The barbarian shaman who destroyed the strange eyeball did not put away the Soul-Eating Mayflies, but instead urged them to search the building and soon made a discovery.

A group of soul-devouring mayflies suddenly gathered at the southwest corner of Guixu Tower.

Upon seeing this, a barbarian shaman strode over, chanting a spell, and the totem-shaped tattoos on his body shone with magical light.

Upon seeing him approach, the Soul-Devouring Mayflies gathered there immediately retreated.

The barbarian shaman suddenly swung his fist, smashing it towards the spot where the soul-devouring mayflies had just gathered.

"boom--"

A totem-like light and shadow, conjured from witchcraft energy, flew out from his body and struck the ground directly.

However, instead of raising any rubble or dust, there was only a rustling sound, like a mechanism being triggered.

The stone bricks paving the ground are spinning rapidly.

A moment later, a secret passage leading underground appeared in the Guixu Tower.

These barbarians, having just suffered a loss, remained somewhat cautious.

Although eager to enter the secret passage and rescue the high priest, they did not go directly into the passage. Instead, they first released witchcraft and straw figures to explore the passage.

They even used witchcraft to burrow underground to investigate the situation.

Soon, these barbarians discovered that the secret passage inside the Guixu Tower, which seemed to lead underground, was actually likely a secret realm.

Because the witchcraft that burrowed underground found nothing.

However, the witchcraft and straw figures that entered the secret passage transmitted images back to them, showing them the high priest imprisoned.

"The high priest is inside!"

"We've come to the right place!"

"Quickly, go in and rescue the High Priest!"

The barbarians were instantly agitated and, without the slightest hesitation, rushed into the secret passage.

Even the leading barbarian shaman didn't think twice. He immediately put away the Soul-Eating Mayfly and walked at the back of the group to cover the rear.

No sooner had they entered the secret passage than Shang Lu and the others followed Zi Shu's hunting party into Guixu Tower.

Although the strange eyes inside the Guixu Tower had been completely devoured, the stench and chaotic atmosphere emanating from the place still made everyone feel nauseous.

However, when they saw the entrance to the secret passage in the southwest corner of Guixu Tower, only one strong impulse remained in their hearts—Da Xingren and Dian Ke were inside, and they had to rush in as soon as possible to rescue them!
Driven by this impulse, not only Lü Yang, but also Xu Zhen and Cheng Ren subconsciously rushed towards the entrance of the secret passage.

Even Shang Lu felt a surge of impulse.

However, this impulse was quickly burned away by the raging flames spewed from the heart within the stomach.

Realizing something was wrong, Shang Lu quickly called out to stop him: "Don't go over there!"

At the same moment, Zishu Xunshou and Gongshu Ling also spoke up to stop them. Zishu Xunshou even released his witch energy and grabbed the three of them.

To Shang Lu's surprise, the Yin Child was unaffected.

This little girl's cultivation level isn't high, but her mental resistance is extremely strong, probably related to her lost eyes.

Lu Yang, Xu Zhen, and Cheng Ren, who were being held back, looked anxious and shouted:

"What are you doing? Let us go!" "The barbarians have already gone in; we can't let them harm the Grand Master and the Attendant!"

Before Shang Lu and Zi Shu could speak, Pan Yin Tong interjected, "That place isn't the entrance, it's a trap! I 'saw' danger and terror!"

"trap?"

Lu Yang, Xu Zhen, and Cheng Ren were all stunned, but they didn't believe it, and even subconsciously wanted to refute it.

But Shang Lu didn't give them a chance. He quickly turned around and ordered Uncle Huai, who had come with him, "Tell them to calm down!"

Uncle Huai accepted the order, and with a flick of his sleeve, sharp thorns flew out like lightning, piercing directly into the bodies of Lü Yang, Xu Zhen, and Cheng Ren.

The intense pain instantly swept through the three of them, which actually calmed them down.

However, Shang Lu was stunned.

He asked Uncle Huai to help, hoping Uncle Huai would use flower and grass spirits to calm the three of them down, but he didn't expect Uncle Huai to use such a crude and direct method...

But as long as it works, it's fine; it's not him who's in pain anyway.

"In this place, the Myriad Eyes of Chaos is only the first layer of the trap."

The Rat, surveying its surroundings, said in a deep voice, "With the destruction of the Myriad Eyes of Chaos, a new trap has been triggered immediately. That secret passage entrance is nothing more than bait conjured by a maze; once you step into it, it will be a near-death experience!"

Lu Yang, Xu Zhen, and Cheng Ren all gasped in surprise.

They almost fell victim to the same trap as those barbarians and were killed.

Shang Lu and Zi Shu were also relieved that they had let the barbarians scout the way. If it had been them, they would probably have been tricked by the bait created by the maze after destroying Wan Tong Luan Xin.

As those eyeballs were devoured, they released a final, corrupting force.

This pollution is more insidious and harder to guard against.

After surveying its surroundings, Zishu turned to Gongshuling and asked, "You're a genius in mechanical arts. Can you break through this maze?"

“You won’t know until you try it.”

Although Gongshu Ling did not give a definite answer, he took action directly.

A mysterious array plate, engraved with countless shamanic runes, flew out from her shamanic armor.

As she swept her hands across the surface, a wave-like mist immediately rippled out, and dozens of array tokens flew out with a "whoosh" sound, landing around the Guixu Tower.

It's everywhere—on the ground, on the walls, on the dome…

Gongshu Ling's hands flew across the array plate, constantly adjusting the shamanic inscriptions.

Soon she found that her two hands weren't fast enough, so several whip-like tentacles emerged from under her witch armor to help her operate the array plate at an even faster speed.

Shang Lu watched in amazement, never expecting that breaking the formation could be done in such a way.

"Om-"

"Om-"

"Om-"

Under Gongshu Ling's manipulation, one secret passage after another appeared in Guixu Tower.

Moreover, it's not limited to the ground; it's found everywhere—on walls, domes, beams, and pillars.

At first glance, there were at least several dozen.

"so much?"

Lu Yang, Xu Zhen, and Cheng Ren were stunned.

With so many secret passage entrances, which one is the real one?
Or rather, which one is the "deceptive prison" that holds the high-ranking officials and pawnbrokers?
The three, still in shock, were about to ask a question when they heard another series of "puff puff puff" sounds.

The secret passage entrances that had just appeared were being destroyed one after another. Even the entrance to the secret passage that the group of barbarians had entered was destroyed.

Gongshu Ling's witch armor, under her full-force attack, erupted with a deafening roar.

This is her psionic reactor operating at overload!

In the blink of an eye, only three entrances to the secret passages within Guixu Tower remained.

"The computing power of this witch armor is still limited; it cannot completely calculate which is the real entrance..."

Gongshu Ling's tone changed at this moment, revealing a hint of resentment.

"These three entrances are life, death, and injury. Choosing the right entrance, the one leading to life, is the true entrance. Choosing the entrances to death or injury will be extremely dangerous, a near-certain death!"

Gongshu Ling turned to look at the pokeweed after saying this.

The rat on patrol also looked at him.

"You are blessed with good fortune, you choose!"

"Our lives and deaths depend entirely on you!"
