The flag was only a phantom and had not actually pierced the ground. It attached itself to the Pyro Elemental Monument as a formation node, replacing the monument's function of absorbing Elemental Power.
Li Qiuzhi summoned several more flags beside the other formation nodes, where they competed with the Elemental Monuments for the surrounding elements.
Because the phantom flags absorbed energy more efficiently than the Elemental Monuments, they easily seized most of the nearby Elemental Energy.
Deprived of most of its energy supply, the ruins' formation soon began to destabilize.
A few seconds later, the formation began dissipating from insufficient power.
Cutting off a formation's energy absorption to disable it through insufficient power was a method almost anyone with some knowledge of formations could think of.
But putting it into practice was not so simple. After all, elements were everywhere. How could they be completely cut off?
Ordinary people also lacked formation nodes more efficient than Elemental Monuments to disrupt the circulation of Elemental Energy in the environment, so rather than using this kind of "brute-force" method...
It was more sensible to properly study the formation's patterns and find a way to unravel it.
As the formation silently dissipated, an updraft suddenly surged out of the hole leading downward!
"A Wind Current?"
Keqing felt a little surprised as she looked at the updraft that had suddenly appeared.
Li Qiuzhi walked to the edge of the opening and found a strange device at the bottom, just like in the game. The Wind Current came from there.

Yelan stood with the slightly protruding
