Chapter 260: Totem as Lock, Fear as Key
The pale aura seemed to have the ability to identify the enemy, and it turned into a needle tip and shot out towards this person.
This person naturally also discovered the situation and swung the bowl-like treasure in front of him to cast several restrictions, trying to counter this trace of energy. However, before the spell could be cast, the restrictions condensed on the mouth of the bowl quickly withered, and the energy flashed into the bowl. The people below thought that this person had succeeded and was about to fly.
But he found something wrong. The man still remained in the same state as before, motionless.
Then, as everyone looked on in amazement, a sound of ceramic breaking was heard, and the majestic bowl broke into several pieces and fell to the ground.
A hole as big as a thumb appeared on the man's chest. After a moment, the man began to turn gray and finally turned into quicksand and flew to the sky.
Everyone stopped moving for a moment. Some people could not resist the temptation of treasures and tried to push the gate of the huge city. However, the gate was tall and heavy, and even dozens of people could not push it.
Others glanced around the huge city, trying to find the entrance, and unconsciously glanced at the totem. After taking a look, they were affected by the ferocious totem and broke out in a cold sweat. There was even a person with a lower cultivation level who was frightened to death.
However, seeing that several more people had been sacrificed, everyone was unsure. Some people simply started to circle around the huge city, trying to find a place to enter.
However, after a quarter of an hour, no entrance could be found.
Some people began to find a new way, following the principle of crawling in if they couldn't fly in, and relying on treasures, they climbed up along the protruding bronze spikes.
There seemed to be nothing unusual in the first half, except that the man was slightly sweating and his hands were covered with copper rust. However, when he was about to climb the city wall, he suddenly laughed out loud, muttering, "I got this treasure first, hahahaha!"
People finally discovered something was wrong. The copper rust on the man's hands and body actually spread, and gradually the whole person turned light green. His pupils seemed to have melted half, and the entire white of his eyes turned black. His body swelled, and blood vessels emerged, until black water continued to flow out of his mouth.
Then he let out a scream and fell from a height of hundreds of feet. When people went to see him, he had turned into a giant and was completely dead.
"This copper rust is poisonous!!" People moved away from the wall.
At this moment, not far from the city gate, a man and a wolf were gnawing on the spiritual fruit in their hands, sitting with their legs crossed and spitting out the seeds of the spiritual fruit from time to time.
“These people... (vomit)... Isn’t this just like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather... (vomit)... just send them away one by one! (vomit)” Chang Qing put the remaining melon rind in his hand next to Jiao Cang, who was chewing on a large plate of spiritual fruits. He looked at the melon rind and kicked it away.
The two spoke loudly, but no one could hear them. This was the space in the pendant, and Changqing and the other person had already arrived here.
But because the city gates were closed, Chang Qing originally wanted to fly up or climb up, but his spiritual roots kept sending him a bad feeling, so Chang Qing gave up.
At this time, the people outside seemed to have finally discovered something, and someone shouted: "Look, this door seems to need something to open it!"
Someone pointed at the rotating totem on the door and said.
People followed his gaze upwards and saw grooves on the door that followed specific textures and converged towards the totem above.
Soon someone thought of a way to open the door.
"This totem is not here by coincidence. This totem is the keyhole, and the key is... us?!"
Someone tried to inject spiritual power into the ravine, but there was no response. Someone spit out blood, but the lines were also useless. Everyone vaguely guessed something and showed fear on their faces.
"Is it possible that the way to open the door is to use our fear to open it?" Someone figured out the key point and his face changed drastically.
"Totem is the lock, fear is the key. That should be it~"
Everyone suddenly felt a chill in their hearts.
Before, the people who pushed the door did not dare to look up at the totem because they were afraid of totems. Now that they noticed the giant door pattern, they couldn't help but feel terrified.
Someone's eyes flickered, and he looked at the person next to him and said, "Go over there, put your hand on the door, and then look at the totem."
“Brother, can I not go…” The young cultivator was from a third-grade force, and he had just arrived here with the first-grade disciples borrowed from the sect in front of him. He did not expect to be pushed out at this moment.
"Huh? Why do you want me to take you there personally?" the man threatened.
The young monk was furious, but looking at the person in front of him, he knew that he was going to die anyway, so he walked to the door with heavy steps with a bitter look on his face and put his hand on it.
The young monk, with his back to the crowd, had a ferocious look on his face, thinking in his heart, "If I don't die this time, one day I will kill you!!"
The moment he placed his hand in front of the door, the young monk's mind went blank. Suddenly, he felt someone was looking at him. He looked up unconsciously to find the source of that gaze, but there was only a ferocious beast with jade horns staring at him with greedy eyes.
It seemed that this huge gate connected him to the totem.
"Give me your fear!!" A fierce voice suddenly resounded in the little monk's heart.
The young monk felt an extremely panicky feeling bursting out from his heart, which became more and more intense.
The young monk seemed to have seen the most terrifying thing in the world. He suddenly screamed, his voice so sharp that it instantly covered up the sound of the iron friction.
The young monk only screamed for a moment and then he lost his breath.
There is no "if" in the world, it is more like this, death is worthless and no one cares.
Everyone watched as a ray of white light was extracted from the remains of the young monk by some force, and a gully connected the door and the totem.
Just as everyone was still looking for the next candidate, the totem suddenly stopped rotating, and its huge eyes lit up with a white light, as if it was staring at the people below.
Before people could figure out what was happening, some found themselves stiff and walking uncontrollably towards the door.
"No! I don't want to die, save me, save me~"
The people who had just forced the little Taoist priest were among them, but now it was his turn. He was frightened before he even saw the totem and kept asking for help, but cause and effect were so difficult to understand.
At once, many figures walked stiffly towards the huge bronze door. These people kept screaming, trying to break free. Some even wanted to activate their treasures to stop the power that controlled them, but it was of no avail and they couldn't activate it at all.
Dozens of people pressed themselves against the door, and then, just like the little Taoist priest, a white line lit up and the person died.
Dozens of white lines illuminated the bronze door very brightly, slowly approaching the huge totem, and finally connected with the totem in the center. At this moment, the totem seemed to be alive, but no one dared to look at it, for fear of being scared to death...
