Chapter 2158: Chapter 1897: I Lost

Song Yun glanced at He Tiansheng: "What, are you scared? Don’t dare to gamble?"

He Tiansheng stiffened his neck: "Who said I’m scared? Gamble? Of course, I’ll gamble!"

For the sake of a spiritual artifact, He Tiansheng was determined.

"It’s good you dare to gamble." Song Yun smiled indifferently, then addressed everyone: "You’ve already seen the Four Symbols on the wall, now count how many stone pillars there are in this palace."

"One, two, three..."

After counting, He Sui said: "There are a total of twelve stone pillars."

Song Yun said: "These twelve stone pillars are arranged according to the positions of the zodiac, this should be easy for you to see."

Everyone observed and found that indeed, the twelve stone pillars were arranged according to the positions of the zodiac.

Song Yun continued: "The twelve stone pillars are all carved with dragons, and each dragon has a different posture, take a look to see if this is true."

Everyone observed again and found it to be true.

Gu Zi impatiently said: "What exactly is the array, hurry up and tell us, stop keeping us in suspense."

Song Yun smiled and said: "This array is called the Four Symbols Dragon Trapping Formation."

Four Symbols Dragon Trapping Formation?!

Upon hearing this name, everyone appeared puzzled.

He Tiansheng frowned and then laughed: "Hahaha, Four Symbols Dragon Trapping Array? Song Yun, don’t fool us, I’ve read books on arrays too and haven’t heard of this name?"

Song Yun looked at He Tiansheng with a look as if seeing a fool, curled his lips and said: "You haven’t heard of it because you’re ignorant. Don’t use your standards to measure others."

He Tiansheng responded irritably: "You... fine, you’re knowledgeable, then tell me how to break this array?"

Song Yun said indifferently: "The Four Symbols Dragon Trapping Formation has four gates, each leading to different areas."

"The first gate is behind us, the eight passages combine into one gate, controlled by the Vermilion Bird, called ’Close Gate’, you can freely enter and exit the formation. However, each person only has one chance; once you leave the formation, you cannot enter again. Otherwise, you will be trapped in the formation forever."

"The second gate is in the west, controlled by the White Tiger, called ’Tiger Gate’. This gate is the most dangerous; entering this gate is like being devoured by a fierce tiger and will lead to endless pain."

"The third gate is in the north, guarded by Xuanwu, named ’Wu Gate’, very difficult to open. But usually, the treasure location is inside the Wu Gate."

"The fourth gate is the eastern Azure Dragon, called ’Dragonxuan Gate’. In terms of danger level, it doesn’t match Tiger Gate. But this gate hides many mysteries and contains many uncertainties. If you go in, you’ll encounter countless obstacles, and it’s very likely guarded by powerful beasts."

"And these twelve trapped dragon pillars are the key to opening the Four Symbols Gate. The pillars can rotate, and depending on the direction the dragon heads point, different gates will open."

At this point, Song Yun stopped talking.

Everyone looked around, digesting what Song Yun had just said.

After a moment of silence, He Sui asked: "Since that’s the case, which gate should we enter?"

"Of course, the Wu Gate, treasures are all inside the Wu Gate, where else should we go?"

He Tiansheng rushed to answer, forcing a smile on his face, and said: "Humph, Song Yun, what you just said, I actually knew it a long time ago. But I didn’t expect you to know a bit too. Since so, for this gamble, I’ll let you go, let’s call it a draw between us."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at He Tiansheng with disdain, secretly cursing him as shameless.

This guy is clearly looking like he’ll lose and doesn’t dare to gamble.

Song Yun curled his lips into a smile and pointed at the twelve trapped dragon pillars: "Since you understand everything I said, try rotating these trapped dragon pillars to open the Wu Gate in the Four Symbols Gate."

"That’s not simple."

He Tiansheng felt a pang of insecurity but kept a calm exterior and slowly walked towards one of the trapped dragon pillars, cursing inwardly: "This bastard really understands the array, where did he learn it?"

Before the trapped dragon pillar, He Tiansheng scrutinized the pillar, seeing the dragon carved on it majestically staring at him, its eyes seeming to shine.

"He said it can be rotated, it should be possible."

Thinking this, He Tiansheng spread his arms and hugged the two-meter-diameter enormous trapped dragon pillar, exerting all his strength to rotate the pillar’s direction.

However, even with his face turning red, the trapped dragon pillar didn’t make the slightest movement.

"Eh, what’s going on?"

He Tiansheng frowned and increased his force, true qi flowing into his arms, trying again.

Rumbling.

Above the palace, a loud noise erupted, dust falling.

But the trapped dragon pillar still didn’t move an inch.

"Song Yun, you liar, this stone pillar can’t move at all."

He Tiansheng released the trapped dragon pillar, looking at Song Yun with frustration.

Song Yun shook his head: "Didn’t you say you know the Four Symbols Dragon Trapping Formation? If so, why don’t you know that when rotating the pillar, you need to move the two front claws of the stone-carved True Dragon to make it work?"

He Tiansheng’s mouth twitched, pretending to be calm: "I... Of course, I knew that, I just wanted to test whether you really know the Four Symbols Dragon Trapping Formation."

"You’re so shameless." Song Yun curled his lips into a smile, teasingly looking at He Tiansheng.

He Tiansheng grasped the two front claws of the stone-carved True Dragon with both hands and exerted force.

Above the palace, dust fell quickly, but this time, the trapped dragon pillar still didn’t move at all.

He Tiansheng’s expression turned ugly, his embarrassment visible with his flushed face and thickened neck.

"Hahaha..."

Song Yun’s laughter echoed through the empty palace.

Even the others like Nine Stars laughed unrestrainedly.

He Tiansheng angrily said: "What are you laughing at?"
