It seems that this is the only way to go.The regulations did not say that five people must go to obtain the token, so the three of them didn't bother about this matter much, and walked towards the research library where the token was placed with a map.The three walked quickly, trotting from time to time, as Carter said, they spent some time with the clay puppets, and if they didn't hurry up, they might lose.

And the further Julian went, the more...something was wrong.

"...Dai Ning."

"Um."

"Did you hear anything?"

"Yes." It was Carter who answered this sentence.

human voice.

Someone's voice.

In this ruins, apart from them, there is only another team.The three of them looked at each other, then as if they understood something, they started to run wildly.

"I didn't hear that the token was in the same place!" Dai Ning growled angrily.

"I also thought... each of them took back the token and scored again..." Julian said while panting, "If you don't get the last token, then what's the point!"

Carter didn't speak, but just looked at Julian with a complicated expression.

The road to the treasure house was a bit tortuous. They turned left and right facing the map, and finally saw the long and thin corridor leading to the target room.A group of people ran towards the room desperately, and when they ran to see the situation in the room, Julian immediately noticed - there was someone on the opposite side.Five, they're holding something, they're leaving.

"you……"

Julian was anxious and wanted to shout, but found that he didn't know what to say.My side was indeed a step slower, allowing the other party to obtain the token.Do you want to grab it?Is Apprentice Fighting allowed at this event?

It seemed that they also heard their voices, and the boys and girls on the opposite side also glanced back.The boy who seemed to be holding the token raised his hand provocatively, and shouted, "Give it up! We'll take it away!"

"Come back to me!" Dai Ning roared.But these words were far more intimidating than meaningful. When they arrived at the entrance of the treasure house, the other party had already quickly drilled into the passageway when they came back, and slipped away without a trace.

The three stopped in the middle, panting.In the center of the treasure house is a cylindrical platform that looks like an altar, on which there is only a small square base, which looks like a base for a crystal ball.Julian guessed that the token was originally placed here.Looking at the empty platform, he was at a loss.

The other party was one step ahead, and the things were taken away.Although I don't know how the score is actually scored, but if the token is taken away, points will definitely be deducted.Both teams are elites selected from their respective countries. If the scores on the road are similar, they will be the first to arrive faster... In other words, if there are no accidents, they will lose.

"Aren't the magicians too nervous? Just put the token on the table and wait for the arriving team to take it away?" Dai Ning snorted angrily, circling around the altar, as if trying to find another token.

"If it were me, I would definitely ask another question here, and then put things in it... huh?"

Another question here?

Hearing this sentence, Julian was suddenly stunned.And Dai Ning who said this sentence was also stunned.The two looked at each other at the same time, and then said in unison: "Map!"

"...What map?" Carter was puzzled.

"It's a map!"

Julian took out his own copy, looked back and forth, "Tell... the magicians will definitely answer a question here! They might not be a real token!"

I was about to say the word Tifeng, but fortunately, I forced it back, and Julian stuck out his tongue.However, the three of them searched the map for a long time, checking every corner in detail, but they still found nothing special.Julian began to get anxious, could it be that what Tifeng said was false?Or did I really not find it?

What the eyes see is not real.

Julian sighed softly, spread the map on the altar, and wanted to check it again. When the map was illuminated by the sunlight from above the altar, Julian suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a treasure house on the map. circle pattern.He squinted his eyes, but couldn't see more clearly. Julian had an idea, picked up the map, and faced the sun.

"Yes!"

he exclaimed.The other two hurried over. Through the sunlight, they could clearly see that an equilateral triangle was drawn in the center of the treasury. There was a circle at the top of the sharp corners of the triangle, and a larger circle outside the triangle.They turned their heads to look at the round platform behind them, and there was an identical triangle on it.

"The reminder is this table?" Dai Ning said to himself in doubt.

"It's the table...not what's on it." Carter frowned, thinking.

"That's it! It's actually inside this table!" Julian said excitedly.

The teenagers immediately began to study the altar.A triangle is drawn in the center of the altar, and the circles at the top of the three corners are engraved with the symbols of the sun, moon and stars respectively.The belief in the sun and moon god is almost the main belief in the world. Although these patterns are not the same as the common totems at present, the three of them can still judge immediately that this should represent the two main gods: Riyao, Yuehua, and almost It is also about to become the third god of the Lord's belief: Astral.

And outside the triangle, there is an outer ring.Three totems are also engraved on the outer ring, namely a bird with wings burning with flames, a bird that turns into water, and a circular symbol like a rudder.

"This triangle..." Julian stroked the table lightly, and said, "It's not aligned."

"En." Dai Ning nodded, "According to the myth, the messenger of the Sunshine is a golden bird with flaming wings, and Yuehua belongs to Yin, and water and snakes happen to be of this attribute, and beside the Moon God, there is also a big snake As a mount."

"The stars... are not only a guide to identify directions at sea, but also have the meaning of guiding fate." Carter added.

Julian looked down under the altar, and soon found something that looked like a handle.He took the handle and tried to pull it, and as he pulled the handle, the upper triangle turned.The mechanism inside seemed to have been locked in place. After Julian pulled it for a short while, the altar made a slight click, and the triangle stopped.

"Don't stop, Julian, one more space," Denning urged.

Julian nodded, and pulled the handle another notch.The triangle on the altar finally aligned with the correct position - the sun and the fire bird, the moon and the water snake, the star and the rudder.

At the same time as the three gods returned to their positions, the altar made the sound of gears moving and rubbing.The entire countertop disintegrated and turned, and the apprentices were dazzled for a while. When they took a closer look, they found a crystal ball floating up from the bottom.

"Token!"

Julian yelled at Denin.Julian hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab the crystal ball, Dai Ning hugged him vigorously and cheered: "Those idiots! They didn't understand even after giving the hint! This is the truth!"

"Wait, look... what is this?"

Just when Julian and Dai Ning were dizzy with excitement, Carter looked at the table suspiciously.The two walked back suspiciously. Dai Ning muttered as he walked, "Hurry up and leave after you have taken the things. I think those people have already gone out...Huh? What is this?"

The patterns on the table are no longer triangles and circles at this time, but have become firebirds combined with the sun emblem, water snakes combined with the moon emblem, starbursts combined with the rudder, and a fork like a branch. The bifurcation points all have a fantastic pattern of star-like dots.

Dai Ning's heart skipped a beat when he saw that pattern.

He has seen this pattern.

Saw it at Dylan's.

"Could there be any mechanism?" Julian looked at those pictures and muttered to himself.He picked up the map and held it up to the light again.This time he discovered that there was another very inconspicuous point on the wall next to him.

"Hey, look, is there anything here?"

He points to a dot on the map.Dai Ning and Carter leaned over to have a look, and nodded.

"There is indeed a mark."

"Is it a bonus question?"

Speaking of extra points, Julian got a little excited.But when he looked back at the four symbols, he felt very at a loss.These four patterns are not as clearly determined as the triangle just now. To be precise, he doesn't even know what to do.The young man tried to touch the bottom of the platform, but found that the handle just now was gone; he grabbed the edge of the platform and tried to turn it, but no matter how hard he tried, the altar remained motionless as if stuck to death.

"Forget it, let's go, maybe there is nothing." Carter snorted and walked out on his own.Julian looked at his friend unwillingly, and said, "Daining, what do you think?"

"Hmm..." The young man pondered for a while, then said, "Maybe this is just a multiple-choice question."

"Multiple choice?"

"And the correct answer is... this."

Dai Ning muttered to himself, reached out and touched the branch-like pattern.The moment his finger touched it, a strange light flashed through the pattern, and before Dai Ning figured out what was going on, the whole space suddenly vibrated.

"What happened!?" Julian was taken aback, Carter turned his head and yelled at Denin, "What did you do!"

"I didn't... Wow!"

Just as Dai Ning was about to open his mouth to argue, a huge fragment of a stone pillar fell beside him.The ancient ruins seemed unable to withstand the shock, and the weak structures began to collapse.

"Julian, be careful!"

Dai Ning yelled at his friend, Julian wanted to run back to him, but the floor under his feet suddenly collapsed——

"Wow!"

Julian let out a scream and fell straight down.Dai Ning immediately wanted to rush over, but another boulder fell and blocked his way.The boy took a quick step back, but immediately felt a heavy blow from behind...

Dai Ning was directly thrown to the ground, his vision went dark and he lost consciousness.
