Chapter 556 Grid Transmission Formation
One mystery after another instantly came to Ding Hao’s mind.
“These patterns seem to be a type of map…” Ren Xiaoyao on one side looked at them carefully and tried to reach out his hand to touch a light spot where the green lines crossed.
In the next moment, an incredible change occurred.
A beam of green light shot out from the light spot and enveloped Ren Xiaoyao. With a slight flash, the little fatty disappeared in place.
“Meow? Is it a touch transmission formation?” Evil Moon was shocked, with his eyes full of excitement. He also stretched out his claws to touch the green light spot.
In the next moment.
The Fat Cat was also enveloped by the green light and disappeared on the spot by the transmission.
Ding Hao failed to stop it. After thinking for a while, he simply carried Ji Yingqi on his back, led the little dolphin Adorable, and took back the bone bracelet. He touched the same green light spot. A green light enveloped them. In the next moment, they felt weightless as if they were flying through time and s.p.a.ce.
In a split second, his eyes lit up.
“Wow, it is indeed a transmission map. Hahaha, that’s great. So we can go wherever we want. We don’t have to worry about being chased by those ferocious rock giants anymore!” Ren Xiaoyao’s excited laughter came to his ears.
Ding Hao ignored the little fatty and began to check the surrounding situation.
It was still one of the areas in the Fake G.o.d City. The square buildings around were getting taller and larger, and they were slightly more complete. The pale yellow stone buildings separated the earth and sky into segments. The place where they were located was still a crossroad. Before them was a Wordless Stone Tablet with a flicker of green light.
Green lines were crossing horizontally and vertically with thumb-sized green light spots.
Ding Hao carefully observed the surroundings for a moment and then he got to understand things a little.
The Wordless Stone Tablet was an extremely strange cornerstone of the transmission formation. The horizontal and vertical lines on it represented roads in the Fake G.o.d City. And the junction of lines represented a crossroad, where the green light spot was a Wordless Stone Tablet.
Through the transmission network of the Wordless Stone Tablet, people could be transferred to different places as long as the light spot was gently touched.
It was an extremely exquisite and terrifying transmission device.
That was simply beyond the means of the general inscription transmission formation.
If it was said that this Fake G.o.d City had really been pa.s.sed down from the Primal Ancient Gu Ages, then it meant that the enormous transmission network of the Wordless Stone Tablet had existed for more than six hundred thousand years, yet it was still operating… Such a magical method was truly too terrifying.
Carefully observing the grid map on the Wordless Stone Tablet in front of him, Ding Hao was thinking deeply in his mind.
With the map, it was completely possible for him to avoid the Rock Giant Puppet who was everywhere to go anywhere he wished to go in the city. Unfortunately, there was no textual description on the Stone Tablet, and he didn’t know where the legendary Sacred Fire Altar was.
“Look here…” Ren Xiaoyao suddenly pointed at a spot in the center of the green grid map.
That light spot was brighter than the others at the intersections, and it vaguely showed a triangular shape. If people looked at it carefully, they would find that it was actually a tower-shaped ma.s.s. After careful calculation, Ding Hao got to find that the light spot’s location was exactly the center of the entire grid map, and the number of light spots was exactly the same, and spots in the front, back, left, and right were the same.
That was to say, it was the center of the whole Fake G.o.d City.
An idea came to Ding Hao’s mind, “Is this the site of the Sacred Fire Altar?”
“Haha, this, you’ll know once you try it…” Ren Xiaoyao stretched out his chubby finger and poked at the triangular light spot.
Everyone was ready to be transferred.
However…
“Hey? Why is there no response?” Ren Xiaoyao was surprised.
The transmission they had imagined didn’t take place, and the triangular green light was still flas.h.i.+ng.
“Did the Wordless Stone Tablet’s transmission function fail?” The little fatty pointed at another green light spot.
“Whoos.h.!.+”
A green light flashed and the little fatty disappeared in place.
That troublemaker!
With Ji Yingqi and the two pets, Ding Hao touched the light spot that Ren Xiaoyao had pressed before and followed it closely.
The scene in front of him changed into a completely different one.
It was still a crossroad. In front of another Wordless Stone Tablet, a green grid map was flas.h.i.+ng on the activated Stone Tablet. The surroundings had square skysc.r.a.pers, which looked like part of a dead modern city.
“Wow, help…” He heard the little fatty’s screaming like a ghost.
Ding Hao turned around and saw that a huge Giant Rock Puppet with a height of more than 30 meters was chasing after the little fatty. Its eyes burst out red light. The light cut the incomparably hard ground like a laser knife, leaving marks behind. The Giant Rock Puppet chased after the little fatty closely so that the little fatty was about to turn into braised meat…
Ding Hao gasped in astonishment.
It was the first time for him to see a puppet of such a size.
The big thing was like the Sky-Supporting Pillar in science fiction movies in his previous life. When he stepped on the ground, he seemed to shake mountains. Its fighting capacity had reached at least the One-aperture Martial Emperor Realm. The red light was powerful enough to burn everything.
“Let’s go!”
Ding Hao didn’t want to fight with such a guy.
He pulled the little fatty over to the Wordless Stone Tablet, and pointed a light spot casually.
“No response?”
The transmission he had been expecting did not take place yet.
“Hurry up, hurry up, the guy is coming…” Ren Xiaoyao screamed like a pig about to be killed.
Unlike the previous small stone puppets, the big guy did not stop in front of the Wordless Stone Tablet. Instead, he quickened his steps and rushed straight over. He waved the huge sword in his hand. The sword was like a sky-cutting saber. It was powerful enough to destroy everything.
Ren Xiaoyao panicked, and he pressed four or five green light spots in succession on the grid map of the Wordless Stone Tablet.
However, the transmission he had been expecting did not take place.
“Why is something that has been pa.s.sed down since the Primal Ancient Gu Ages a fake? It’s causing a big trouble at a critical moment…” The little fatty was about to cry.
Ji Yingqi, who was conducting a careful observation, seemed to have found something. She said, “You shouldn’t press the light spots beyond the three grids. Otherwise, the transmission cannot be done.” As she spoke, she pressed one of the green spots in the grid.
“Whoos.h.!.+”
In the next moment.
They were finally transmitted again. They arrived at a new place.
It was still a crossroad.
“How did you figure it out?” Ding Hao looked at Ji Yingqi in surprise.
She seemed to have discovered some kind of law.
“Maybe it’s because the time is too long and the energy is insufficient, I found that it can only carry out some short-distance transmission…” Ji Yingqi pointed at the Wordless Stone Tablet and said, “If it is more than three grids away from our location, the transmission can’t be carried out, so if we want to go here…”
She pointed at the triangular tower item at the center, and then explained, “We have to be transmitted bit by bit. Based on our current position and distance, we still need to be transmitted for at least about thirty-one times!”
“How did you calculate it so accurately?” Ren Xiaoyao was still in shock. He pressed the green light spot for another try.
Sure enough, as long as the light spots were beyond the three green grids, no response would take place even if the spots were pressed.
“Awesome!” The little fatty gave a thumbs-up in admiration.
Ji Yingqi smiled.
Ding Hao also admired her in his heart.
Although she didn’t practice martial arts, Ji Yingqi was indeed very smart and extremely calm. She found the transmission law of the Wordless Stone Tablet quite quickly. If he were her, he would have tried more times. Maybe just as she said, she could really rely on her brain to regain the glory of the Ji family in the Jade Province and become a special strong person.
With Ji Yingqi’s discovery, the following things went much smoother.
Ding Hao and his team were transmitted in short distances again and again within three grids, and no accidents occurred to them.
The further they went toward the center of the Fake G.o.d City, the larger and the more Giant Rock Puppets were found.
For a few times, they had been chased by a Giant Rock Puppet, over a hundred meters tall.
The Giant Rock Puppet was made of golden rocks, s.h.i.+ning with golden mist, and there were dozens of esoteric Fake G.o.d characters on its body. It was extremely powerful and terrifying. At least, he was at the level of the Five-aperture Martial Emperor realm. The aura alone was powerful enough to make Ding Hao cough blood.
Fortunately, they had been transmitted by the Wordless Stone Tablet at the first instance. Otherwise, they would have been killed on the spot.
When the transmission went on for more than 25 times, they encountered more dangers, and the Giant Rock Puppets’ strength was more horrifying. In the end, Ding Hao had to defend himself with his rusted sword. Under the pressure of the Giant Rock Puppets, he tried to buy a moment to touch the green spots of the Wordless Stone Tablet to be transmitted.
As Ding Hao got closer to the central triangular green spot, he was a little nervous.
In Ding Hao’s mind, the Saber Master and the Sword Master, the two old monsters, spent most of their time figuring out the Fake G.o.d Characters, hoping to break the mystery; they could not help Ding Hao for the time being.
Ding Hao didn’t know whether the triangular green spot represented the Sacred Fire Altar or not.
Along the road they had been transmitted, they had no way to explore the high-rise buildings in the Fake G.o.d City. They didn’t even know what was hiding in them, or if there were any tools that had been used by the residents in the city.
The Giant Rock Puppets’ strength in the center of the city was truly horrifying.
If Ding Hao didn’t have the rusted sword, he and his friends would have been torn into pieces.
Therefore, they had no way to enter those buildings to find rare magical materials for the Saber Master and the Sword Master.
If they had a chance, Ding Hao might be able to try again or search the city in detail when his strength reached the level of the Four-aperture Martial Emperor Realm.
“We’re almost there… Next time when we are transmitted, we’ll be able to reach the center of the Fake G.o.d City!” Ji Yingqi reminded him in a low voice.
On the road, Ding Hao had fought against the Rock Giant Puppet and made enough time for his friends to escape. Ren Xiaoyao, Evil Moon and Adorable were responsible for vigilance. Ji Yingying, who was dexterous and calm, calculated the route and activated the transmission formation. For 30 transmissions, the little girl had never made a mistake. She was cautious in dealing with things. She was even much better than many martial arts masters, which them look at her with new eyes.
“Whoos.h.!.+”
The green light flickered and enveloped that group of people.
