Chapter 1332 Entrance
"Professor! There was an earthquake underwater, the intensity is about .5!"
In the delayed storm, in the cabin of the Moniach, Selma in front of the display screen suddenly raised her head and shouted while holding the headset with her right hand.
She determined the underwater situation based on the sonar map. The three-dimensional sonar map outlined by dark green contour lines showed that the ruins of the village on the riverbed below the Moniach were now collapsing! A sudden earthquake swept the bottom of Kuimen.
"The Earthquake Bureau did warn that an earthquake might occur tonight. I didn't think their warning would be so accurate!" Mans shouted suddenly, "Reel in! Pull them up!"
"Captain! The lifeline is broken!" The third mate who rushed into the cabin was covered in rain. The breath of the storm outside the cabin door behind him rushed into the cabin in one breath. Mans looked back at him with a pale face in astonishment, and then looked back at the front deck outside. The engine was spinning wildly, and the other end of the nano-woven lifeline tied on it was flying without gravity, making a humming sound in the air.
"Lu Mingfei! Jiude Aki!" He called out to the public channel, but what came out was an unsettling silence.
50 meters underwater, Lu Mingfei was holding Jiude Aki and falling in the turbulence. They seemed to be in a black tunnel, and the water pressure was like a wall pressing them down to slide at high speed in this tunnel with no focus.
Before, Lu Mingfei was curious about how to enter the Dragon King's palace without a drill. Just when he sensed the terrifying gaze from deep in the rock layer, the underwater earthquake began. This was a shallow earthquake with a very shallow epicenter and a strong intensity. The affected area was not large, but it was quite destructive.
Lu Mingfei saw with his own eyes that the silt at the bottom of the water suddenly churned like boiling water, and the originally poor visual distance instantly became zero. Then the hard riverbed hooked by his flipper steel claws made a tearing sound, as if some monster hidden in the silt opened its mouth, and the water pressure sucked him down in an instant.
In fact, when the earthquake occurred, Lu Mingfei had a perfect opportunity to react. He retracted his steel claws and swam to the side with all his strength, and used the steel claw gun on his waist to fix it on the ruins of the village site to avoid being pulled into the crack by the water pressure. But he could react, but it didn't mean that Jiude Aki could, so Jiude Aki was the first one to be pulled into the crack.
The communication line between them instantly became a safety rope to hang her in the crack, while Lu Mingfei crossed his legs and stepped on the riverbed on the left and right of the crack to drag him, a bit like a water drawer with his feet on a well and a rope tied around his waist connected to a wooden barrel.
After thinking for a while, Lu Mingfei gave up struggling and jumped into the crack with Jiude Aki, and pulled the communication line hard, pulling Jiude Aki, who had lost her balance, in front of him and hugging her, so as to prevent her diving suit from being cut by sharp protrusions during the fall and causing decompression.
When the warm body temperature came from the hug behind her, Jiude Aki thought for a moment that her partner had returned to Ye Sheng. If it was that boy, he would probably do the same thing in this situation. Lu Mingfei told her with practical actions that as a partner, he was no worse than Ye Sheng, and he would also use his life as a barrier to protect his companions.
This tumbling lasted for half a minute. During this period, Lu Mingfei hit the edge of the rock layer many times. The bloody scales under the diving suit successfully helped him block the damage caused by the impact. Fortunately, the diving suit was not scratched. When they were spit out by the cracks, the moment the world turned dizzy, it seemed that the noise and clamor brought by the earthquake and turbulence, along with the psychological terror, suddenly disappeared, and they were left behind. What embraced them again was tranquility, almost eternal tranquility.
Broad and boundless.
Lu Mingfei floated in the green water with Jiude Aki, who closed her eyes. He gradually let go of the senior sister in his arms and gently patted her shoulder to indicate that they had arrived.
Jiude Aki opened her eyes. The light of the spotlight penetrated the water and shone in front of the miraculous creation. After closing her eyes for a while, she opened them again and it suddenly appeared in front of Jiude Aki, magnificent, huge, and incredible.
It was a bronze wall that stretched almost infinitely upward, downward, left, and right. The bronze wall was covered with words, painful human faces burned in flames, humans prayed under the huge sun, and behind the sun were magnificent shadow objects, mysterious patterns, and ruins that would shock the whole world once exposed.
This is a bronze city!
"Baidi City."
Jiude Aki heard Lu Mingfei's voice ringing in the channel. She realized belatedly that their communication line with the Moniah had been broken, and now only the communication line between each other was left.
"We are here, the Dragon King's bedroom." Lu Mingfei saw this wall again after a long time, and he felt an indescribable taste in his heart. He didn't want to admit that he really felt like going home.
Revisiting the old place should be a way to express the emotion and fear of the crisis he had survived, but now the dangers in this city he faced were all refreshed like the mechanism of sitting by the campfire in "Dark Souls"! Even the elite bosses were all resurrected, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Are you sure this is the Dragon King's palace? Baidi City was indeed explained by the documents discovered by archaeologists as being built by the dragon behind Gongsun Shu more than 2,000 years ago, but..."
"No need to, this is the palace of the Dragon King. The lair of the King of Bronze and Fire, Norton." Lu Ming said with certainty, "There is no doubt about this. 'Snake' has found the bone bottle hidden in the palace. The hatched 'Constantine' cocoon is also the goal of our trip."
"Wait a minute, what you said is too unbelievable! Is this the future that the 'prophet' got? Isn't your word spirit a 'snake'? You just used that power!" Shutoku Aki No matter how she could accept the reality, it was difficult to calm down under such shocking information. The intelligence brought by Lu Mingfei and his very purposeful actions made her feel uneasy. It was difficult not to guess Lu Mingfei's "purpose." "What is it.
"Don't get me wrong, Senior Aki, I never said that my word spirit is a 'snake'. I just happen to be able to use the power of a 'snake'. This has an expiration date. Now that the expiration date has passed, I still want to use it. 'Snake' will have to find another way." Lu Mingfei took the initiative to swim towards the entrance of the Bronze City in his memory, losing the authority of 'Snake', which also meant that they were completely disconnected from the Monyach. Now they have no backup and can only rely on themselves.
Although Shutoku Aki had hesitation in his heart, he could only follow him. When he saw him, he quickly swam to a position below the bronze wall as if he were going home. When he got closer, he found a painful bronze protruding from the wall. It has a human face and a metal matchstick in its mouth.
"The Curse of the Fire-Eater." Lu Mingfei stopped in front of the huge painful face and looked back at the swimming Shuode Aki, "A very ancient sacrifice in Scandinavia. In this way, the victim will be burned alive with grease filled with "mermaid" and a matchstick held in his mouth. His soul will be sealed in the body by the charred body and cannot escape. In Chinese terms, it is "eternal life". Here His role is the access control of Baidi City, and you need full biometric authentication to pass it.”
"Biometric authentication?"
"To put it simply, it's the dragon blood gene." Lu Mingfei picked up the zip tie and tied his wrists upwards. As soon as he made this move, Shude Aki immediately reached out to stop him!
"What do you want to do?" Shutoku Aki looked at this behavior that was almost seeking death and stepped forward in horror to stop it.
When divers use deep-sea diving suits, if incorrect operation or wrong procedures cause the pressure inside the diving suit to lose control, it will cause a terrible implosion, and the accompanying hypoxia and pressure imbalance can easily lead to death. One life.
"Open the door. My blood can be used to open the door, so I can only adopt a compromise method." Lu Mingfei took off his diving gloves, put his hand into the jagged mouth, pressed on the sharp place, and dived The part of the palm of the hand was cut open directly.
A large number of bubbles surged up, and the living creature gradually opened its mouth under the gaze of Shuode Aki. The matchstick in its mouth naturally fell down and was caught by Lu Mingfei. When he pulled out his wrist, the sharp-eyed Shude Aki I saw that the palms under his diving suit were covered with blue-black dragon scales!
Lu Mingfei picked up the matchstick as a key and inserted it into the living creature's mouth. Then he patted its face hard. The originally painful face showed an expression of joy, which made Shude Aki shudder.
No one knew whether the reason why she shuddered was because of the ferocious and strange appearance of the living creature, or because Lu Mingfei used his own blood to awaken the alchemy artifact.
In order to cope with such a situation that they may encounter on the Monyach, they specially mobilized the "key" to be on standby in the back cabin. It has the power to open all "doors" in the world. The blood of the "key" has the power to reach the next generation. The noble effect of this species, but also because of the price of blood, the "key" can only live in infancy throughout his life and cannot grow into a human being.
Where is Lu Mingfei? Why does his blood have such an effect that even exceeds that of the "key"? Just a little bit of blood is enough to make living creatures ecstatic. Does this mean that the boy's own bloodline has reached the level of nobleness of the next generation? Even this What is the level of the owner of this Bronze City?
Beside Lu Mingfei, the living creature opened by blood gradually opened its mouth wide, and the painful human face was broken in the middle like a snake's jaw, allowing him to extend to an astonishing extent, forcibly opening up a A dark entrance with a height of one meter.
"That's it. Senior sister, you go back to the ship to replenish oxygen. I'll walk the rest of the way by myself." Seeing that the entrance was successfully opened, Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief and told Jiude Yaji, "The water pressure of the rock formations above It should be balanced. You return the way we came down. After returning to the Monyach, tell Professor Mance that the next exploration mission of Baidi City will be left to me. I will bring back what the academy wants. Something, give the principal an explanation. Since there is no orthodoxy here, the Monyach should not be attacked, but to be on the safe side, you should remind him to pay attention to the ships and third-party forces that may be lurking around."
"Do you really want to go in alone?" Jiude Aki's face was tense. Although she had known that this junior brother was bold, she did not expect that he would be so lawless. If he did not lie about the information, Baidi City would It is really a palace beyond bronze and fire, then this is the tomb of the four kings! The legendary burial place of the Dragon King, who knows what kind of horror might be hidden there? He actually wanted to explore alone!
