Chapter 20 Statue of Nuwa

The door in front of me was far from strong as expected, and cracks appeared after just one kick. I was about to repair it again, but it suddenly cracked on its own.

"Wow!" The water world we imagined did not appear. The other side of the gate was actually dry. The moment the gate broke, we fell out together. I had planned to swim, but unexpectedly the water suddenly disappeared.

"There's not a drop of water here!" Yeyue got up from the ground and said, "Either this damn place has been lifted up too much by the earth's crust or it has a pumping system."

I shook the water off my body and said: "If you look closely, you will find that there are ventilation devices on the section of road we came here. It is not surprising that there is a water pumping device here."

"But don't you think it's a little too clean here?"

Scott's reminder brought us to the situation. Although it has been washed by water, the walls in front of it that are not stained by water are all very clean, with no dust attached to them at all. This is completely different from the previous passage. Generally speaking, dust does not require an entrance or exit. Even in a completely sealed environment, there will still be dust. After all, anything will pulverize over time, and the pulverized stuff is dust. Being so clean here only means that someone is cleaning it frequently, otherwise it would never be so clean.

Taking back the eternity that turned into a broken water sluice, we were immediately flushed again by the water blocking half of the stairs. After the water passed, we started to move forward, but the road seemed to be very long and we could never reach the end.

I signaled Yeyue and Scott to stay still, and then asked Amynis to come out and take a look. The result was exactly as I expected. We've been deceived by a damn illusion again! We actually kept walking in circles in a room full of pillars. This place is about the size of seven or eight football fields, and there are thousands of stone pillars neatly arranged in the room. Strange runes are carved on the four sides of each pillar, and the illusion comes from these runes.

After dispelling the illusion, we found the exit easily. After crossing the passage that was only three meters long, we entered a larger residential area than before. This is a real underground city, and its interior is similar to the situation in Essinger Underground City. The huge underground space thousands of meters high is full of large buildings, and there are neat streets between the buildings, and there are even things similar to road markings on the ground.

Yeyue climbed up along a pillar supporting the underground space, and then shouted to us: "Come up and take a look!"

Scott and I jumped up to the roof next to us, and then jumped to the top of the taller building nearby. Looking at the entire city, its size is our first impression, and its ancientness is our second impression. There are ancient totems and religious buildings everywhere. The residents' houses are also very unique, and they are obviously the remnants of an ancient civilization with a high degree of civilization.

"Look over there." Yeyue pointed at the tallest building in the distance and shouted.

We followed Yeyue's finger and found a huge flat-topped pyramid-like building in the center of the city. The top of this building has almost touched the roof of the cave, and its area is also considerable. However, what really caught our attention was the sculpture at the top of the building.

"Yeyue?" Scott couldn't help shouting when he saw the sculpture.

"Of course not me." Yeyue slapped Scott with her tail angrily. "That is Empress Nuwa, the ancestor of our clan."

"How do you know that it must be Nuwa?" Scott asked: "To most people, it is just a statue of a creature with a human body and a snake's tail. It may not be Nuwa?"

"That must be Empress Nuwa, because she has wings."

"Go over and take a look. It's too dark here, and it looks too blurry from so far away." I summoned the night shadow and jumped up, and then released the crystal. The crystal returned to its original form, and Scott and Yeyue jumped on it together, flying to the building with the crystal on its back.

As the distance approaches. The sculpture in the darkness became increasingly clear. It was still unclear from a distance, but after getting closer, we found that this sculpture was very different from the human body and snake tail sculptures we had seen before. However, because we only have simple monochromatic vision in the dark, we cannot be sure for the time being. The material and other features of this sculpture.

After landing on the top of the building, I opened the Phoenix Dragon Space and called out all the magic pets that could transform into human forms. Then he dug out a lot of stick-like things from the Fenglong space. My demon pets all know how to use this thing, so they all help. I took one of the sticks to the edge of the platform where the sculpture was located, and then slammed the stick down hard. When the bottom of the stick hit the ground, eight brackets popped out from the bottom of the stick to support the stick. After making sure it wouldn't fall down, I twisted the stick on top counterclockwise, and heard a bang. The top of the stick instantly expanded into a lotus. Then I took another white scrap magic crystal. Placed in the heart of the lotus, the scrapped magic crystal immediately emitted a dazzling white light. This thing is a simple lighting stand combination from our guild. Can provide long-lasting lighting anywhere. Magic crystals emit cold light, so there is no need to worry about dangerous gas explosions caused by open flames. Moreover, the white light of this magic lamp can help us distinguish colors clearly and avoid being unable to determine colors due to the monochromatic light of torches. ' situation occurs. The most important thing is that the torch is always swinging, which can easily affect the judgment in battle. The magic crystal can at least ensure that the light source will not swing around.

After a circle of magic crystal lanterns were all lit up, the sculpture in front of us was finally fully displayed in our eyes. This sculpture is at least more than 500 meters high. The material is not clear, but the surface is basically inlaid with various valuables. And the sculpture is almost not painted. The color itself seems to be a combination of the natural colors of various materials.

The lower part of the sculpture is a coiled snake body, forming a high platform similar to a base. The end point of the snake body is connected to a graceful and slender waist, and then upward is a female body wearing tight armor. But this body is not human, at least not completely human. There are actually six pairs of arms growing on both sides of the body, and each hand holds a weapon. There are eight pairs of wings on her back, each of which is covered with white feathers. In this way, the sculpture's upper body has a total of twenty-eight upper limbs. So many upper limbs make her upper body look a little crowded, but because the connection points of these upper limbs are very tight. And the bifurcation locations are very reasonable, so it’s not ugly.

This image really surprised us, even Yeyue was stunned. To say that she is a sculpture of Nuwa, this image is too strange. Putting aside what's going on with those hands, the pile of wings on the back just doesn't make sense. Among the currently known humanoid creatures, only angels have such wings, but the strongest angel only has six pairs of wings. This snake-shaped female statue with eight pairs of wings is obviously no match for angels.

Among the snake-bodied succubi, there is indeed a very powerful being called the Eight-Armed Naga, but they only have eight arms. There are only four pairs, and six pairs of arms for this one are a bit too many. Yeyue can use many arms, but she only has six, which is only half of the statue.

In addition to the large number of upper limbs, there are also some problems with the head of this sculpture. Her ears are very strange. They don't look like land animals, but like shark fins. We flew up to confirm. I actually discovered that there were fish gills behind her ears. What's even more special is that there is a pair of obvious horns on the top of her head, whose structure is very similar to dragon horns. In addition, there is a huge gem embedded in the center of her forehead. I don’t know if it is the result of artistic processing or represents an eye. Anyway, it is very curious.

The head of the sculpture has a crown-like headdress. And there were two ribbon-like things hanging from the temples on both sides. She wears a large collar around her neck. Even if you look at the proportions of the sculpture, this collar is a very wide collar. The part at the back of the neck is a ring with many gems, and the front part is towards the neck. The lower part extends into an inverted triangle. There are many crystal hangings hanging from the edge of the triangle. The center of the triangle is a ruby. Although proportionally those crystal pendants should only be as long as half a finger, because this sculpture is so big, we actually see crystal tubes seven or eight meters long. The hollow in the middle can be walked through, and the triangle The ruby ​​in the center is even bigger. We are currently unable to measure its specific size. Anyway, I only know that the surface of this thing is enough for two people to compete on it.

This giant super ruby ​​was polished into a standard diamond shape of eight stars and eight arrows. This shape can improve the reflectivity of the gem, but I am very curious how such a large gem was polished.

"Eh? Is it that thing?" Xiaochun seemed to have discovered something. It flew directly onto the sculpture's shoulders. We only saw her checking it out for a while and then she suddenly shouted excitedly to us. "Come up quickly."

"What's the matter?"

Xiaochun flicked on the collar: "Look what this is."

Ling walked over and touched it with her hand, and then she suddenly became very surprised. Then she hit it with her staff again. As a result, the staff suddenly lit up, and a black magic light ball appeared in the spell. The top of the stick flew directly towards me. I was so frightened that I quickly crouched down and dodged. "Ling, what are you doing?"

"Unexpected, I just wanted to test whether this thing is real or fake."

Crystal also ran over and touched the collar and asked, "Do you know this thing?"

Ling nodded: "This is magic gold."

"Magic Gold?" Except for Xiaochun, Jingjing, Lingling, Ling and Amynis. We actually don't even know what magic gold is. It seems that we have known for a long time that we must not know this thing. Ling didn't ask, but explained directly. "Many people have heard of magic silver. But few people know about magic gold, not because magic gold is not very useful, but because it is so rare. This material has perfect physical properties and unique properties. The property of one-way magic can be said to be the semiconductor of the magic world. The mage can enjoy its perfect magic defense while still using any spell at will without any influence. Such perfect properties really make No one can refuse it. However, the quantity of this thing is as rare as its characteristics. Being able to use it to make a small ring is very luxurious!" Ling said, tapping the collar on the back again. “It’s simply unimaginable to use it on such a large scale!”

Once Ling explained it like this, I could roughly understand the advantages of magic gold. Metal has an attenuating effect on any spell, so mages generally do not wear armor. Magic silver, a widely used metal, is a little special. It is an excellent conductor of magic energy. As long as a small amount of magic silver is added to the armor, even if the mage wears such armor, he does not have to worry about the restriction of mana. However, just as metal is suitable for electric shocks, it is not suitable for insulation protectors. Adding magic silver armor does not hinder spellcasting, but it also reduces spell defense capabilities, because magic energy can easily pass through magic silver. But magic gold is different. It is a magic semiconductor, which means that it only allows magic energy to pass through in one direction. The mage can throw magic at will, but other people's magic will be blocked. Such perfect metal is indeed very valuable.

Xiaochun sighed: "I don't know if all the magic gold I've seen in my life is even one-tenth of the amount here."

Ling Ye touched the collar and said, "At least you have seen the real thing. I have only seen it in the knowledge crystal of the Dark Palace!"

"If you sell this thing, how much do you think it can be sold for?" Yeyue asked.

Xiaochun and others who knew the value of magic gold all shouted in unison: "Absolutely not."

I patted Yeyue. "You can only trade second-rate things, and the best can only be kept for your own use. When have you ever seen Americans sell cutting-edge weapons currently in service in their own army? They always simplify them first and then sell them. "

Scott's shout suddenly came from underneath the sculpture. "Actually, I think the thing below is not much cheaper than the collar above."

"What did you say?" I stretched my head from the shoulder of the sculpture and shouted below.

Scott pointed to the tight-fitting armor on the sculpture and shouted: "Look at the material of this armor, it will definitely shock you."

After listening to Scott's words, everyone immediately squatted down and began to study the armor. Since we are standing on the shoulders of the sculpture, what we are stepping on is the shoulder armor part of the armor. Just after taking a glance at it, I was surprised to find that the armor was actually made of magic silver and fine crystal.

"It's all magic silver! How much does it cost?" Yeyue shouted in surprise.

Lucky excitedly groped the surface of the armor under his feet and said, "Isn't this tens of thousands of tons? It's even more than our guild's output in decades!"

Although magic silver is not particularly rare, it is definitely considered a rare metal. Anyway, the output is extremely low. Such a large amount of magic silver is enough for a country!

"Hey, don't just look at the magic silver!" Ling suddenly discovered a new continent. "There is only one layer of magic silver, and the bottom layer is full of fine crystals!"

"What? Fine crystal?" I quickly scraped off a layer of magic silver on the armor, and immediately saw a purple crystal-like substance. "Oh my god! It's really a crystal!"

I have only seen things like fine crystals in heaven. I don't know its purpose, but judging from the information I know, the value of this thing is at least not lower than magic gold. And the sculpture in front of me actually used tens of thousands of tons of goblin crystals. I really don’t know how to calculate the value!

Crystal suddenly said: "These external things are nothing at all."

"Huh?" It's so surprising to hear a dragon say that these valuable things are outside the body!

I found that we seemed to have misunderstood her meaning. Crystal quickly added: "I'm talking about the pendants outside the body." Crystal pointed to the skin on the neck of the sculpture other than the collar. "Did you see it? This sculpture is carved out of a single piece of blood jade. The color of these parts is very similar to the color of the skin. It's almost like it's alive!"

Blood jade is not very useful, but its rarity is not much worse than red streaked magic crystal. The color of this material itself should actually be white. The reason why it is called blood jade is mainly because it can absorb blood. In addition, this kind of jade is constant temperature jade, regardless of the outside temperature. It always maintains a temperature similar to human body temperature. Based on the above characteristics, it is indeed very suitable to use this kind of jade to carve figures. If you feed some more blood after it's done, the jade will become more rosy, and it will look more like a living person. I have seen blood jade sculptures before, but this is the first time I have seen such a big one.

"This sculpture is so big, the blood jade used can probably pile up a mountain!" Crystal said: "If I use these blood jade to practice, I can probably directly rise to the level of Biling."

"I would rather treat this thing as an ordinary sculpture than upgrade it to you."

"Why?" Crystal looked at me puzzled.

"Because the system will not allow players to have magic pets that are as strong as Biling, so when you practice, you will inevitably have accidents such as going crazy. In the end, you will only waste some of these things. Maybe you will react again. Maybe we can get demoted if we come here.”

"When you mention it like that, it's really possible."

"Hey, hey, hey... don't just look at the top!" Scott stood below and pointed at the coiled snake tail and said, "Look at these scales."

"What did you find again?" I jumped off the sculpture and landed next to Scott.

"look here."

I got closer to the scales under my feet and looked at them carefully. According to the proportions of this sculpture, these scales should appear very fine to their owner. But when we actually stood on it, it was still as big as a bed board. The scales seemed to be made of some kind of metal, so I carefully dug out a little bit with my eternity. Then he activated the magnification function of the Star Pupil and took a closer look at the shape of the fracture.

"There are actually star debris added here!"

"Star debris? How is that possible?" Crystal and the others also flew down from above. Ling took the small piece of debris in my hand and looked at it for a long time and said, "Where did they get such a large amount of star debris?"

"What? Is the content high?" Xiaochun leaned over and asked.

"The content is not too high, but it is definitely not low, but with such a large scale, the total content is terrifying!"

After hearing Ling's words, we all looked around. This winding snake body is completely the size of a small mountain. The scales covering its surface can be imagined as to how large an area it requires. Calculating the amount of star debris used is really terrifying.

We were studying how much this thing was worth, and Chili suddenly handed it to me with a small piece of white stuff. I looked at her doubtfully. "What's this?"

"It's taken from the feathers on the wings."

I looked at the fragments in my hand carefully, and then my eyes almost popped out: "Is this the Sun Crystal?"

Pepper nodded. "The entire wings are made of this stuff. And they're solid."

We couldn't help but collectively swallowed. national treasure. This sculpture is definitely a national treasure. In addition to the materials we saw, the surface of this statue is also inlaid with a large number of decorative gems, especially the gems that are as huge as trucks. I made several dragons drool when I saw them squatting there. It is initially estimated that the total value of this statue is more than 90 billion crystal coins, and this is calculated based on the price of materials after being dismantled. Of course, I will never sell this thing, it is too exaggerated, if I really dismantle it and sell it. It is estimated that the price of valuable items throughout the game will drop by at least ten percent.

I stood at the foot of this statue and looked up at the huge mountain-like statue, but I felt worried in my heart. "How am I going to move it if it's so big?"

"You can consider asking the Four Sacred Beasts for help!" Amynis reminded me.

"You want to move a mountain and get rid of it all?"

Crystal interjected: "I'm worried they won't agree. The magic power fluctuations on this thing are too obvious. I'm sure it's not just a simple statue. It should be a magic item, or some kind of A magic medium won’t be a decoration anyway.”

"I think so too." Ling agreed: "If it is a simple decoration, there is no need to use so many valuables. Even to show the dignity of the statue, there is no need to use the sun crystal, right? And have you noticed? ? The materials used in this sculpture are all super-magical substances, which are completely the characteristics of the magic weapon. Also, why should the decorations be made solid? Wouldn’t the hollow ones save more materials? "

"Actually, it's very simple to know whether this thing is a magic item." The princess sat on her mount and said to me: "According to an ancient legend of our Nuwa God Clan. Blood is the most powerful substance with its own properties. It is a strong magic item, so if you want to know if this is a magic item, you just need to find a way to blend it with our blood. In addition, since the main material of this sculpture is primitive crystal without attributes, So the fusion will be very simple. Master, do you want to try it?"

I looked at this towering statue and finally shook my head. "Such a big sculpture, I'll have to do it as an adult once it's finished absorbing it. The little demon almost sucked me dry last time. Even if there are a hundred of this guy, I can't do it!"

Ling suggested from the side: "I don't think this is necessarily the case. The little demon's situation is quite special. She absorbs your power to evolve, and now we just want to test whether this thing is a magic item. There is no need to Soak it all up?"

"I think it's okay to soak it thoroughly." Yeyue suddenly said: "Have you forgotten that Essinger also has a blood pool?"

"Yes! Why didn't I think of that?" Ling said immediately: "We use the blood exchange method to assimilate the blood in the blood pool into the owner's blood, and then use it to water the sculpture. We can completely soak it in. If this It’s really a magic item, maybe it can even get permission to recognize its owner!”

Since we decided to test this sculpture, we temporarily gave up exploring the later parts. For the time being, he took everyone back to the exit of the passage, and then climbed out of the coffin. During the time we came down to explore, the treasure cave of Pluto has been emptied by the Qilin warriors. Now there are only a few dozen items that are considered special items waiting for my screening at the door of the Earth Gate.

"You are finally back." Xiao Longnu pulled me and said: "There are too many strange things here. We are not sure which ones are and which are not, so we have to leave all the possible ones. Take a look! "

I walked to the middle of the pile and looked for them one by one. These things are basically very powerful. The attributes are also all kinds of strange, but none of them have the kind of magic fluctuation that I have felt.

"No! None of these."

"It's impossible!" Xiao Longnu said: "All the treasures of Pluto are here. It's impossible for her to put those jade somewhere else, right?"

"Is it possible that she carried it with her?" Yeyue suddenly said: "I heard that the thing doesn't seem to be big from you. If it is really carried with her, it is not impossible!"

"That's what I fear most."

My familiars all nodded. Indeed, if this thing is really on the body of Pluto, it will be like pulling out a tooth from a tiger's mouth, which is almost like courting death.

Scott said: "What if we let the Four Sacred Beasts help capture the Great Wheel Pluto?"

"You don't need to think about this basically. As long as two of the four holy beasts attack at the same time, the Great Wheel Pluto will definitely lose miserably. But if you want to catch her, unless the four holy beasts and the three great national guardian beasts come together, there are still people nearby. There must be gods of sufficient level to help plug the leak."

"Isn't there nothing we can do?"

I nodded my head. "I didn't say you have to use brute force? You have to learn to use your brain. Besides, we can't be sure that those two pieces of jade are definitely in the hands of Pluto, right?"

"Then what do we do now?"

"Pack up your things and leave here first. I want to identify the function of that sculpture first. In addition, maybe we can defeat Pluto, the Great Wheel."

"hope so!"

After taking back all the summoned creatures, I left the cave. The three guides were still waiting for me outside. As soon as they saw me coming out, they immediately surrounded me. "It's so nice to see you! When will you take the magic mirror away? Is it now?"

"No, not now." Seeing their obviously downcast faces, I quickly explained: "Isn't the Great Wheel Pluto, the peacock you mentioned, still here? We want to use the exit of the mirror to set a trap, so we need to Go find someone for help first.”

"Then you must be quick!"

"You've been waiting for so many years, don't you care about these few hours?"

"It's because we've been waiting for so many years. That's why we care more about these few hours."

"Don't worry, I'll do it as soon as possible."

After my repeated assurances, they finally sent me out of the mirror world uneasily. As soon as I came out of here, I fell directly into the crowd. There was a sound of weapons being unsheathed all around, and I was so frightened that I quickly flapped my wings and flew up.

"Don't be nervous, we are one of our own." The voice below made me quickly find the target.

"Shui Xu? Why are you here?"

"Both Bai Hu and Master Xuanwu went inside, and then the Great Wheel Pluto also ran over. The four of them were too powerful, and we couldn't get involved at all. We had to come out and wait."

"You know how to advance and retreat. So what's going on outside now?"

"You mean the mountains?"

"Yes. What happened to those little monsters? Was the revolution successful or was it suppressed?"

"Do you think there is any hope of success for those useless guys?"

"That's true. But there's no way you can wait here!"

"Then what else can we do?"

"You go to my Isengard first. I'm going to heaven. I'll bring people back later to deal with the Great Wheel Pluto. You don't have to worry about this place."

"OK."

After bidding farewell to Shuixu, I teleported directly to the entrance of Heaven, and then rushed all the way into Lingxiao Palace. Seeing me stumbling in, the Jade Emperor immediately stood up from his throne. "Why did you come back alone? Where are Baihu and Xuanwu? Did you find those two pieces of jade?"
