Chapter 31 Terracotta Warriors and Horses
"Who is coming? Tell me your name!" I was looking at the situation at the entrance of the cave when suddenly someone spoke from behind.
I suddenly turned around and found a sculpture, to be precise, it was a human stone elephant. There seems to be nothing special except this stone statue nearby, and I am sure that I did not see this stone statue when I first came in, so it should have been transported by something, or it must have walked here on its own. Since nothing was seen nearby, the only explanation was that this guy came here on his own. Since he can walk here, it's no surprise that he can talk.
"Is it you who's talking?"
"Is there anyone else here?"
faint! Speak well and well. "The one I passed by wanted to go under the cliff."
"Human?" Shi Xiang looked me up and down. "You are not a human, you are more like a demon."
"This...!" What I just said was a language habit, so I said it smoothly.
The stone statue suddenly clenched his fist: "No matter who you are, the only way to cross the passage is to defeat me."
"What?" This guy seemed to be very powerful, but the monster guide said that he had been up and down several times, which meant that he could deal with this stone elephant. The guide seems to be weak enough to deal with this stone statue, which means that this stone statue should not be powerful. Could it be that I miscalculated? Overestimating this stone statue?
The stone statue didn't even wait for me to think about it and already punched him. I didn't know its strength level and didn't dare to touch him head-on. A translation gave way to the original position. I originally thought that this kind of stone man should be very slow. After all, it is a stone statue, so it would be good if it could move. However, facts show that the results inferred based on common sense are often wrong. This stone statue is not only extremely fast. And there is no sloppiness, every attack he makes is precise and never wastes any more power. And once I reacted, he would change his movements without stopping.
I barely dodged the first blow, but his punch missed, followed by a kick. I raised my leg and stepped on his knee, using the force of my body to fly out and escape deeper into the passage. I'm not afraid that I won't be able to defeat the stone statue, I just don't want to waste time. The guard's job is to protect, and my goal is to cross. No one said that I have to defeat the guard to cross the passage!
I almost flew more than 20 meters with that force just now. There wasn't much light around anymore, but I had dark vision. This doesn't affect me. After landing, I quickly turned around and ran away. The stone statue immediately caught up with me without any hesitation. While running wildly, I paid attention to the side roads to avoid any side roads. Anyway, before I came, the guide seemed to have said that there was only one road and it was longer. However, I had to be careful. If there were side roads, I had to remember them first. If I found out that I had taken the wrong route, I would be able to come back. try to find.
After running for almost three kilometers, I could still hear the guy's footsteps behind me, even though he moved quickly. But the stone statues are stone statues after all, and their noise when running is not much quieter than that of a herd of elephants. As I ran, I noticed something was getting more and more wrong. I was running faster and faster. This was not a problem with my strength, but a problem with the cave at my feet. This passage was turning, and it was turning downwards. The more I ran, the steeper the slope became, and my speed increased unconsciously.
The inclination angle of the cave has reached about fifty degrees, and this slope has made it somewhat unstable. I have to stop first, and who knows what I will hit if I rush down like this. Throw out the steel nails on both feet, and then the six claws on both hands slide out of the scabbard. I suddenly turned around and fell to the ground. I kicked my feet hard towards the ground and pressed my hands on the ground. The claws and steel nails on my feet grabbed the ground and pulled out more than a dozen long ditches, but at least I stopped.
But unfortunately, I forgot that there was a stone bump behind me. Although I fixed myself, the guy behind me couldn't stop. The stone guard didn't know whether it was because of his limited intelligence or other reasons, but he followed me down the slope as if it was his first time here. He probably made chasing me his first goal, so he ignored the slope.
The stone statue guard who rushed over reacted immediately when he saw me sticking to the ground. This guy's super high reaction speed made me suffer a lot this time. The one-ton guy suddenly turned around and fell to the ground like me, but he didn't have as many hooks as I did and couldn't counteract the dual effects of gravity and inertia. As a result, he naturally regarded me as a target for borrowing power. .
This guy was faster than me, so he was lying higher than me, but due to inertia and gravity, he slipped past me and grabbed my ankle. The magic dragon suit is designed to prevent the opponent from borrowing force. There are blades everywhere. There are back blades on the back of my calves that can increase the destructive power when sweeping my legs. If someone grabs my ankle, it is like reaching out to grab the blade. The problem is that this guy is a stone statue. Whether my back blade can hurt him is one thing. Even if it is hurt, it has no pain and has no effect!
The stone statue slid past me on the left side. He grabbed my left leg with his right hand and moved his left hand over. Then he let go of his right hand and grabbed my right leg instead, hanging underneath me. His method was very effective. The two of us slid down seven or eight meters together and finally stopped. As soon as he stopped, he started to grab my legs and climb up. In order to stop him, I had no choice but to kick him down, but he was not afraid of pain and was super strong. There was nothing we could do against him.
"Rose Vine!" There is really no other way, so I still need the help of my magic pet. After all, I am still a magic pet master.
The soft, moist soil is the favorite of rose vines. The huge vines instantly expanded to cover this section of the passage, and then several vines from different directions entangled me and it. The vines suddenly tightened and began to pull to both sides. The stone statue was very strong, the rose vine was even more powerful, and the power of plant growth is extremely powerful. We were pulled apart forcefully. If the rose vine hadn't been more careful with its force, I would have been afraid of myself. The legs were pulled off together.
After being dragged, the stone statue was immediately thrown out by a bunch of tentacles, although it was very powerful. But those tentacles threw it like a pass, without letting it touch anything at all. There was nowhere to use it, even if it was strong, it couldn't use it.
After the stone statue was dealt with, I rode forward on the tentacles of the rose vine, and the slope of the passage continued to increase. But this no longer poses any problem to me. The roots of the rose vine have already been inserted into the soil, so it doesn't matter even if it is hung on the roof.
In fact, we were almost at the end just now. After the passage continued for a while, it became 90 degrees vertically downward. After descending vertically for almost 200 meters, the passage ended. I originally thought that this place should lead to the outside, but the situation was not what I thought. The passage was inserted vertically into a cave. What's worse is that there is a large stone statue standing in the cave.
strangeness? Why do these stone statues look so familiar? Holy shit! Isn't this the Terracotta Warriors and Horses? Wait, are these all stone statues like just now?
Just when I was confused, the soil suddenly fell due to the weight of me and the rose vine. Although the soil fell on the aisle between the warriors and warriors, the sound was too loud. The densely packed warriors and warriors standing below were moving. He neatly raised his head and looked towards me.
"Assassin!" Some bastard shouted. The nest below instantly exploded.
"I don't..." Before I could explain, I suddenly heard a buzzing sound, and a large number of dense stone arrows flew up. My explanation became directing the rose vine: "Flash!"
The rose vine instantly pulled me back into the cave and sealed the entrance with wooden branches. There was a popping sound outside, and the soil was instantly filled with stone arrows. I thought I had escaped, but suddenly the whole cave shook, and then I suddenly felt weightless. Reason tells me that the entire passage where the rose vine and I are has fallen down, but I don't know why. Maybe we just moved too much. Maybe it was because of those arrows, but we fell anyway.
The rose vine instantly formed a hollow sphere to open the passage, and then used its branches to form a vine net in the center to place me in the middle. Almost as soon as we were done there was another sudden jolt around us and I knew we had landed. The impact force caused by inertia knocked me to the ground, but the buffer net completed by the rose vine in advance slowly released my impact force, at least the force was weakened to an acceptable range.
puff! The tip of a spear was inserted, and it hit my chest, but the armor protected me and it didn't penetrate. An arc of light quickly flashed on the surface of my armor and gathered at the tip of the weapon and spread to the outside along the long handle at the back of the weapon. I heard a distinct muffled sound. Then there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. It was obvious that the user of the weapon was knocked away by the arc.
Under my instruction, the rose vine instantly exploded the surrounding soil, and soil crumbs flew into the cave hall. I jumped out from the middle. The Terracotta Warriors Guards outside did not panic when they saw me. They took three steps back neatly and then some of them stood still while the others continued to retreat.
The first ones to stop were all shield bearers. The two-meter-high shields were engraved with ghost-head emblems on their surfaces. The shield hand stood neatly, squatted deeply, and the shields were neatly close together. Then there was a crash, and the tips of a bunch of long swords protruded from the gaps in the shield.
"Tiger Wings!" A roar like an army slogan erupted from the group of stone statues, and then all the stone statues responded in unison: "Guard like a mountain!"
Several large flags suddenly erected in the distance, and then they began to wave. There seemed to be a certain pattern, but I couldn't understand it, but these stone statues obviously understood, and they immediately made new movements.
The Chang Ge on the section of defense line facing us suddenly retracted with a crash, and then the shield hand stood up. The shield in the center of this section of shield wall quickly retreated, and the shields on both sides followed but the speed gradually decreased, so that they opened a section like a gate. However, during the opening process, the defense is always stable without any disorder.
After the section was opened, I thought a leader would come out, but unexpectedly it was a group of cavalry riding stone horses standing neatly behind the shield wall a hundred meters away. The leading cavalryman drew his saber and pointed forward: "Blade!"
The cavalry behind them drew out their swords at the same time: "Strike! Fight..."
For the first time, I knew that stone horses could run so fast. As soon as those guys finished calling the cavalry, they had already rushed over a hundred meters and came to me. According to their posture, they planned to crush me and treat me like a trap!
"Half Moon! Feng Wu!"
My two and a half moons suddenly flew out from behind and formed symmetrical angles on the left and right at the height of my shoulders, and then the two and a half moons began to flash at the same time. With a bang, two and a half months out of touch turned into six and a half months surrounding me. The six half-moons began to rotate around me, and the speed was getting faster and faster. Looking from the outside, I could only see a piece of silver light flying up and down, and I couldn't see what was inside at all.
"Demon Flame."
Ban Yue and I suddenly burned purple magic flames at the same time. Immediately after the eternity on my hand suddenly flashed, the purple magic flame around me instantly turned white like an explosion. The billowing heat wave suddenly spread, and the rose vine used my flame energy to repair the injured branches, broke through the stone slabs on the ground, and drilled into the ground.
When the cavalry rushed in front of me, their speed had been greatly reduced by the high temperature. The flying blades smashed these stone statues together like a crusher and sent them flying around. When the cavalry team rushed past me, the entire team had been divided into two teams on the left and right, and the four teams in the middle had completely disappeared.
"Put it away!" The flames quickly retracted into the armor like a movie played in reverse, and a green arc flashed across the surface of the magic dragon suit again. Six and a half months clicked together into two and stopped spinning back behind me.
The flag in the distance stopped for a moment and suddenly began to wave again. The cavalry immediately ran to both sides. The shield wall opened a channel before the cavalry rushed to let the cavalry in, and then the shield wall merged again. A row of black shadows suddenly flew out from behind the shield array in front of us. These guys rolled over like monkeys and landed next to me with a forward roll.
I heard a strange sound and a boxy weapon was stretched out. I recognize this thing. There is also such a thing in eternity, it is Feng Gang Sword. Even though this thing has no blade, it is much more powerful than an ordinary sword.
The guy missed the target and immediately rolled back out of the field. A guy jumped over from behind him, and while he was still in the air, he swiped the Feng Gang Sword sideways. If the average person trusts their common sense, they will be in bad luck. I moved the shield forward, and there was a banging sound on the shield as if it was hit by a real object. My arms were numb from the shock. The shield only blocked the middle section, protecting my body. There was a loud bang on the ground behind me, and white smoke rose up, and two large semi-arc-shaped grooves were scraped out of the stone floor. If it hadn't been for my shield, these two scratches would have been connected together as one whole strip.
It seemed that the guy was acting stupidly by swinging the sword before he even got close. In fact, the power of Feng Gang Sword lies in this. The Feng Gang Sword has a handle like any other sword, but where the blade should be is a long rectangular pillar in front. On the surface, this weapon doesn't even have a blade and can't hurt anyone at all. In fact, this thing is very vicious, and its interior is hollow. When swinging at high speed, air will be forced into the air groove. Then it sprays out from the small air hole on the side of the sword tip. Its pneumatic principle is somewhat similar to that of a jack, concentrating the pressure on a large area to a single point, so the sword actually uses sword energy to hurt people rather than the sword body. That's why that guy slashed at me with his sword from a long distance away.
This guy didn't retreat after his sword energy was blocked. After landing, he immediately rolled forward in front of me. He suddenly jumped up from the ground and stabbed me with the square tip of his sword. Feng Gang Sword originally could not stab people with its tip. After all, square sticks could not stab people, but now the situation is a bit special. I saw that there seemed to be a hole in the center of the sword tip. Is there a mechanism inside?
I pushed Eternity up and inserted the tip of the sword into the small hole in the center of the opponent's Feng Gang sword. The guy looked up at me. Although his face was hidden by the mask and his expression couldn't be seen, he was probably still very surprised.
Suddenly, another swordsman jumped up from behind. His posture was relatively simple, and he slashed vertically from a high place. The Feng Gang Sword is getting faster and more powerful, and the power of jumping like this is definitely not small. I ducked sideways, but the guy couldn't hold back his strength and swung the knife out. The guy in front of me who was fighting the sword with me was split in half by my companion's sword energy before he could react from the shock. However, because they were all stone statues, all I saw was smoke and dust flying around, and no blood and water splashing everywhere.
The guy who slashed his companion with a sword was stunned for a moment. The eternity behind me flew out. He saw it and had no time to react. There was a roar, and the guy's right hand holding the sword flew out. He still wanted to run, but Ban Yue flew out and came back, cutting off his legs at the base. The guy with only one hand was struggling to crawl out on the ground, and the remaining three swordsmen quickly rushed over to cover him. he.
The blades and claws of my hands are unsheathed. I landed behind an assassin, turned my hand and thrust it into his shoulder. The guy turned around without feeling any pain and struck out with my sword. I kicked his wrist high. Eternity was inserted under his armpit and came out through his neck. With a forceful movement of his hand, his head and half of his shoulders fell off. The headless stone statue crashed to the ground. These guys are not immortal.
During my fight with this guy, the guy with only one hand left had been dragged away, and the other swordsmen were also missing. Three stone men came out of the shield formation again, but they still didn't seem to be here for negotiation.
The man in the middle walked to a place about ten meters in front of me and stood still: "Your martial arts skills are quite good. You can actually injure three of my disciples. Today I want to learn from you." After saying this, he suddenly flew over sideways without saying hello. .
I leaned back and put my hands on the ground. He flew over me, and I stood up again after he flew over. As soon as the guy landed, he immediately turned around and rushed up again. As soon as he got close to him, he suddenly squatted down and swept his legs. I knew I couldn't escape, so I had to use the Tai Chi I had learned before.
His leg hit my calf accurately. I gave in slightly, drew a circle with my ankle and pushed back. He failed to sweep but didn't give up. He used the rebound power to change his feet and sweep his legs in the opposite direction. I reacted a step too late, and he swept me to my knees. My legs went limp and I knelt down on one leg. He stepped forward to hold me down. But I suddenly raised my arm, and the knife on my elbow was stabbed out. As soon as his head gave way, my body couldn't coordinate. I spun in the air for a circle and a half, and used the power of the rotation to punch with my left hand. Got out.
This guy didn't block it and stepped back. I punched the ground, and the bluestone on the ground was broken in the middle. The middle part sunk deeply and the two sides were raised.
The guy took a step back and suddenly rushed forward, but he jumped up with one hand. His legs kicked up one after another. I also put my hands on the ground, but instead of doing a handstand like him, I put my feet between my hands and kicked his hand. He didn't expect me to attack like this, so I kicked him and he flew up. I kicked him in the lower back and almost kicked him to the roof. The main reason was that he was too heavy and I couldn't kick him.
When the other two people saw this guy being beaten, not only did they not come to help, but they laughed: "Old man, you can't do it! A junior like this can beat you like this."
The guy who was kicked away by me suddenly wrapped a ribbon-like thing in the air around a rock on the top of the cave, and then swung between the two guys. "You know how to tell lies. If you have the ability, go ahead and take him and then talk to me."
The thin-looking stone statue said: "Old ghost, you better wait! Watch me go get him." As he said this, the guy suddenly disappeared from the place, and the next second he was in front of me.
"Holy shit! Teleport?"
This guy looks pretty young, and he has a beard. If their surface color and hardness were not so exaggerated, I would have thought they were body paintings made by real people! No wonder folklore says that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses were made of real people wrapped in clay and fired, mainly because the shapes are so lifelike.
He smiled at me and suddenly reached out to grab me, but instead of hiding, I reached out and grabbed his arm. This behavior surprised him a little, but he quickly noticed something was wrong. A lot of black beetles suddenly appeared on my hand like a fountain, and the black beetle army quickly drowned it like a flood. The guy was flapping himself crazily and retreating, but the bugs continued to crawl on it without hesitation, swatting away one and then moving on to a group. It couldn't get rid of these beetles at all.
With no other choice, he began to spin on the spot. It spun faster and faster, and finally turned into a small whirlwind. The crystal beetles couldn't withstand this speed and were all thrown out, and the same was true for those who came closer. It was spinning so fast that it was impossible to climb up.
"Do you like being a top? How about let's play?" I raised Eternal Level with my right hand, and then the sword tip suddenly stretched to several feet long, and then the sword body fell to the ground as if it suddenly became soft, but the sword The blades were not broken, but they turned into inverted cones, connected by chains. The eternal body is the whip sword, and now is its true form. I have always used strange weapons. The whip sword is the most lethal. It is very long, and each section is a blade. It cannot be touched anywhere. More importantly, it is soft and cannot be blocked.
I shook my hand, and eternity moved like a snake in the air, making a rattling sound between the chains. He waved Eternity and whipped towards the guy who was still spinning. "Snapped"! After a crisp sound, the guy was knocked away, and then rolled all the way from the ground to the other two guys.
I deliberately cracked the whip-like eternal dance: "Do you want to try again?"
"I need to learn a lesson. Could it be that we, the three idlers, can't control you, this little unknown kid?"
"Then give it a try?"
This guy couldn't turn around this time, he walked over step by step. The crystal beetle wanted to get closer, but was suddenly blocked by something in front of him. The little bugs built up a wall of bugs but couldn't get past it. This guy is protected by something similar to a protective shield. It seems that it is difficult for me to implement the insect sea tactics.
"You actually know how to use a protective shield?"
"I don't know what the protective shield you are talking about is. My name is Wenbao Qigong. As long as I use Qigong, you can't get close to me."
"Qigong? I want to see if it is really invulnerable." I started to show off: "Da...wei...wu...!" Seeing him staring at me and preparing to defend against my attack, it was basically Without paying attention to my feet, I suddenly shouted: "Start!"
Sure enough, as I guessed, this guy's air mask does not include the underground. Several large holes suddenly appeared under his feet, and countless crystal beetles emerged like fountains and quickly filled the inside of the air shield. The number of crystal beetles was so large that the other party couldn't even notice that some of them were burrowing underground. When I was talking nonsense with him just now, the rose vine had opened a passage under that guy, leaving only a stone slab. Some of the crystal beetles followed the passage to the bottom of the guy's feet, and then bit through the stone slab and drilled out of the ground, quickly covering the ground. His side.
None of these stone men can feel pain, but they seem to have all human emotions, such as hating bugs. Although this guy knew that a few bites would not cause any harm, he still screamed like a slaughtered pig. The air mask suddenly disappeared, and the crystal beetles inside scattered to the ground with a crash. The guy rolled and crawled back to his side in a panic. Just when my crystal beetle wanted to get closer, a flame suddenly appeared and blocked the way.
