Chapter Six: The Underground World: Be polite before fighting
If you want to ask Sun Wu how he feels about the Loulan clan, the feeling is actually very good.26nbsp; Although after entering the ruins, he had endless ping-pong-pong games with the enemy, and some of his companions died because of it, but that is nothing like
The ruins themselves have nothing to do with it.
When the Loulan clan still existed, they used their wisdom and creativity to build such a magnificent city. Whether it was the architectural style or the overall concept, it was completely out of touch with the contemporary level. It made Sun Wu feel as if he had entered a different world.
What I saw and heard was eye-opening.
Although the triangular pyramid in the temple is carved with strange runes to record things, as long as it is touched, the recorded information can be turned into an image and poured directly into the mind of the viewer; jump directly above the city,
There are also such complete protection measures to control gravity so that people will not fall to the ground and be shattered to pieces. If these technologies can be completely liberated, I don’t know how much convenience it can bring to people.
As the three of them were slowly falling, a palm-sized mechanical bird flew close to them at high speed, circled around the three of them, as if to confirm something, and then turned around and flew away. The speed was so fast that Sun Wu had no time to stop it.
"I wonder what that thing is?"
Sun Wu asked about the feather hairpin, and the response he got was naturally a shake of the head, but at the same time as the mechanical bird flew away, the sound of mechanical operation suddenly sounded on the ground, and three oval cars that looked like eggshells came from hundreds of feet away.
, looking at the direction they were walking, it was exactly where the three of them landed.
When the three driverless eggshell cars automatically opened their doors to the three of them, the remaining choice for them was very simple: Should they get in or not?
Considering the possible risks, the three of them did not get into a car each. Sun Wu took Xiao Shang into a car, and Yu Baohan got into a car alone. As soon as the car door was closed, it automatically moved forward and drove very fast.
, walked through the streets and alleys, and came to a building. As soon as they entered the door, suddenly there was a loud sound of machines in the quiet space, and many instruments and pipelines were put down.
Sun Wu was shocked and confused, not knowing what these equipments were. It was Yu Baohan who reacted first and said that these were probably medical equipment. Sun Wu had the courage to let these instruments and pipelines touch him.
Facts have proved that Yu Baohan's vision is correct. These machines are indeed medical equipment. First, he briefly scanned the three people roughly. Three apertures were scanned from the heads to the feet of the three people to obtain the physical conditions of the three people.
Treatment will then begin.
At first, Sun Wu was very worried. The Loulan clan had been extinct for many years, and these mechanical equipment had been destroyed long ago. They had to be repaired and renovated underground for many years before they could operate again. However, the mechanical equipment can be rebuilt, but the medicine cannot be recollected.
Making something out of nothing, once those medicinal herbs are gone, will these devices become half-toned? Will using these half-toned devices to treat people lead to death?
However, the situation was completely beyond Sun Wu's expectation. The Loulan clan's medical equipment was extremely advanced, and their treatment methods were completely divorced from traditional medicine, using radio waves and light as medical tools. Sun Wu could not figure out those blue lights, yellow lights,
What is purple light, but those rays are really effective. When those rays are swept repeatedly, the injured area will quickly relieve pain and stop bleeding.
"Miss Bao, okay, it's so powerful. I've never seen anything like this before. It's even better than Xiao Shang's Nine Dragon Divine Fire Shield!"
Sun Wu has always had a strong sense of surprise towards new things. If he had not just experienced the death of a friend, he would not only speak in a high-pitched voice, but even his eyes would shine.
Compared to Sun Wu, Yu Baohan's mood was much calmer. He stared at the instruments on the left and right, as if he was on guard for something, but he didn't care much about his own condition.
Sun Wu discovered this, but under such circumstances, it was necessary to be wary of strange machines, so Sun Wu didn't feel there was anything wrong. He just turned his attention to Xiao Shang and looked at those
The machine emits bright light and sweeps over Xiao Shang's body. The bleeding quickly stops, and his pale face improves.
Perhaps because of the seriousness of his injuries, the number of various machines surrounding Xiao Shang was several times that of Sun Wu and Yu Bao Hairpin. Various bright lights with different functions flashed simultaneously, and treatment was carried out quickly and accurately. All three of them were sitting down
While receiving treatment on a large reclining chair, Sun Wu couldn't help but sigh as he saw large and small machines rising and falling intertwinedly. Although the movements were fast, they were not noisy. Everything seemed quiet and orderly.
"The technical connections of the Loulan clan are really comprehensive. When we landed from mid-air, there was a warning machine to detect us. When they found out that we were injured, they immediately prepared medical care and treatment. The whole process was coherent. Not only was the machinery clever, but the planning and interconnection behind it were also amazing.
Perfect... you are truly worthy of the Loulan clan."
Sun Wu was excited when he heard Yu Baohan sigh, "I'm afraid it's too perfect... The Loulan clan is the supreme ruler outside the territory, and has never been peace-loving. These machines are too kind to us, not like
This is the behavior of the Loulan clan, I'm worried...it's politeness first and then fighting."
"Uh... no way?"
Just after he shouted, the pipes and instruments were dancing around him and suddenly stopped. The smooth operation seemed to be blocked by something. Sun Wu thought it was because the machinery was in disrepair and there was something wrong with its operation, so he knocked on it with his hand.
The machine, who would have thought that this knock would react. The two mechanical arms facing Sun Wu and Feather Hairpin had bright lights at their ends. They were intertwined to form a screen, forming a light curtain. In the center of the light screen was a blurry image.
But it soon became clear and a totem emerged.
"This pattern... seems to be some kind of bird."
Sun Wu saw that the figure looked like a bird spreading its wings, with wings on the left and right, and a body in the middle. Although the eyes were not highlighted, from the body and movements, it looked majestic and majestic.
The magnificence made Sun Wu's heart move.
"What kind of bird is this? Well, it has a crest on its head and feathers on its tail. This...couldn't it be a peacock?"
"...It's a phoenix."
A word came out unexpectedly from the side, and Sun Wu turned around to look. Feather Hairpin looked at the Phoenix Totem in front of him quietly, his eyes were calm, as if he had known that such a thing would happen. Then he looked at the Phoenix Totem in front of the young man,
He nodded, as if confirming something.
"Miss Bao, what's going on? Your eyes look so strange."
Sun Wu asked a question, and suddenly heard a sharp high-pitched sound ringing in his ears, much like a siren. Looking sideways, he saw that the treatment equipment that had been surrounding Xiao Shang suddenly started to move with the loud sirens.
, the robotic arm and the pipeline were more like piercing the human body, and thrust into the girl on the diagnosis and treatment chair.
"Watch out!"
Yu Baohan also saw this scene. This was beyond her expectation. Upon seeing this, she immediately came to the rescue. She and Sun Wu started at the same time. In a tacit understanding, one snatched people and the other blocked the attacks of machines. Before those machines could hurt the human body,
Rescue Xiao Shang first.
The situation was really dangerous, because just a few seconds after Xiao Shang was pulled away from the recliner, a green light shot out and cut the recliner in half. Sun Wu saw the cracked remains of the recliner, and then he knew what was going on.
Medical tools can not only stop bleeding, but can also be used for cutting.
"What happened? Is the machine malfunctioning?" Sun Wu used a powerful force to cut off the pipes wrapped around his upper body, and said in astonishment: "Isn't this just a courtesy first and then an attack? He turned his back too quickly."
Yu Baohan said: "No, the problem is with Miss Xiao Shang. It must be that when the machine was treating, it must have done a deep scan at the same time. It found something on Miss Xiao Shang and regarded her as an extremely dangerous existence, so
Only then are we excluded.”
"Oh, then I have to re-evaluate the technology of the Loulan clan. It's simply too bad. Xiao Shang is an extremely dangerous existence. It takes a deep scan to know this kind of thing. I only knew it at a glance."
"This... requires the machine to have a sixth sense, which is indeed a bit difficult."
It's easy to tell a joke, but the reality is completely different. The crisis was not resolved when Xiao Shang was rescued. On the contrary, everything had just begun. After the first wave of attacks against Xiao Shang failed, the second wave of attacks on Xiao Shang failed.
A wave of attacks was launched immediately, and a large number of mechanical arms and pipelines attacked wildly. Yu Baohan and Xiao Shang retreated to the side, and Sun Wu blocked them all.
Medical equipment that saves people can also be used to kill people, but after all, in terms of innate design, these things are not weapons specifically used for attack, so when Sun Wu relied on the golden bell shield to protect his body, he violently attacked and destroyed the pipeline.
The metal arm was broken a lot, and Yu Baohan fired two more fire feathers, setting off a series of explosions and repelling the second round of attacks.
Sun Wu took a breath and said: "Okay, you should be able to take a rest. We have damaged so many equipment, so we don't believe that we can automatically repair it immediately and we won't launch another attack so soon."
Yu Baohan shook his head and said: "I dare not be so optimistic. Didn't Leader Sun just say that the equipment here is very comprehensively connected? I feel the same way, so... we destroyed the machinery here, and other places should have a reaction.
"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud explosion outside, and the door of the building was suddenly broken open. Several long black things broke through the glass door and reached in.
"This is……"
It didn't take much time to confirm that those long black things were gun barrels. Being pointed at the head by several gun barrels was definitely not a very comfortable feeling. Sun Wu's face changed and he urgently carried the hairpin on his back.
He got up from Xiao Shang and pulled the young man towards the side window.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, and several gun barrels fired at the same time. Under the heavy fire bombardment, the room where the three people were located was blown beyond recognition, the walls collapsed, and the entire building collapsed as a result. It took more than ten years to fully repair the building.
The building was instantly reduced to ashes of bricks and rubble.
Sun Wu and the others escaped at the critical moment and were not injured by the falling roof tiles. However, when they got outside, they found that the situation was even worse. More than a dozen strange vehicles equipped with long gun barrels surrounded the area.
, leaving no gap. Although the three people rushed out of the building, they were surrounded by more than a dozen tanks.
I have just personally experienced the power of these tanks when bombarding them. If I can still afford the seventh level of the Golden Bell, I can really try it head-on, but now... Sun Wu doesn't want to be bombarded at all, especially in
When there are other methods.
"Push through! These things have very strong firepower and their movements must not be that flexible. We can force our way out through the gap and we can do it!"
Sun Wu judged the situation and was full of confidence. In fact, he forgot one important thing. Even if he failed to rush in, Feng Ping flying with a feather hairpin could still take the three people into the sky and escape from this encirclement.
The situation seemed to be like this, but when a strange buzzing sound sounded, the situation changed. Suddenly a large black cloud flew in the sky, which looked very much like a flock of birds, but Sun Wu knew very well that there would be no living things here, at least,
There shouldn't be a flock of birds underground, it must be made up of a lot of machinery.
The black cloud came closer, and Sun Wu confirmed that those were mechanical birds. Each one was as tall as a crane, with long and slender legs and wide wings. Regardless of their performance, after seeing clearly the shape of these iron birds,
At that moment, Sun Wu wanted to take back all the praise he had just given to the Loulan clan.
Those birds... all have human faces. Although they are similar in size to cranes, they all have human faces. There are human faces on the slender crane necks. Each face has a different appearance. There are hundreds of human-faced cranes at once.
The child flew over, and the feeling seemed indeed disgusting.
"The Loulan clan... is really perverted in their mentality."
Sun Wu's lament had its basis, but now it was a very bad situation. Large groups of people came from all directions, not only surrounding them, but also launching shooting attacks.
The firepower cannot be compared with that of a chariot. These human-faced cranes shoot iron bullets or destructive beams. Although the lethality is not as strong as that of the chariot cannon, their speed is much faster. They can shoot at them from a long distance.
The attack patterns are even more varied, sometimes concentrated, sometimes covering the entire area, and sometimes directly aimed at the target, rushing down and self-destructing.
The compound attacks of hundreds of human-faced cranes put Sun Wu in a dilemma. Although they could not pose a real threat to him, they effectively slowed down his already unpleasant movements. In this way, the lethality of the tank's giant cannon was greatly reduced.
The force suddenly surged, and the human-faced crane restrained the movements of Sun Wu and others. When the three of them were forced into the "death position" and unable to advance or retreat, the heavy artillery launched concentrated bombing.
After several repetitions, Sun Wu and the others were in such a state of embarrassment that they suffered more wounds. In the end, Sun Wu used his magical skills to block the heavy artillery attack with the golden bell cover. They rushed forward regardless of whether they were doing it or not, and destroyed several vehicles.
The chariot and Yu Bao Hairpin fired feathers to assist, causing a chain explosion. Only then did the encirclement net break, and the three of them were able to break through.
It is a good thing to successfully break through, but Sun Wu does not feel relaxed at all, because his previous experience has made him understand that as long as the city can continue to operate, then the siege nets targeting him will be one after another until he is surrounded.
destroyed, or until the city's system ceases to function.
Letting yourself be destroyed is something that is not negotiable in any case, but if you want to stop the functions of this city... Sun Wu would not dare to think about such a thing. Although the Loulan clan has been wiped out, no one can control these things.
The power of machinery is limited, but with the help of these three people, they have to find the mechanical hub of the Loulan clan and break through layers of defense nets. This kind of thing... Sun Wuguang knew that he didn't have the ability even if he thought about it.
"Master Sun, we don't have much time. The next wave of attacks will arrive soon. If we fight head-on, we will die from exhaustion sooner or later. The only way now is to find a place to hide."
"Hide? That's a good idea, but where can we hide?"
"There is a metal cover in front, which should be the entrance to the underground waterway. We can go and hide there."
"Underground waterway? Are you mistaken? This is a desert!"
"...Obviously the Loulan clan was not in the desert back then."
After a few brief words, Sun Wu had no room to refute, so he immediately opened the way, rushed forward to the metal cover, opened the cover, and went underground together with the feather hairpin.
The location where everyone was originally was within the big sand sea. Later, the ruins of Loulan were gathered here, and the entire location was "chaotic". Sun Wu couldn't figure out where he was, but he went down from the metal cover and entered the old Loulan.
The underground sewers of the clan feel very cool inside, but there is no accumulation of water. It seems that when the underground sewers were renovated, they were completely restored according to the original design, ignoring the actual situation.
"Miss Bao, the sounds above seem to have gradually quieted down. Could it be that if we hide here, those things won't be able to find us?"
"I don't dare to have such extravagant hopes. I just want to hide from those machines just by hiding underground. The Loulan clan's technology should not be limited to this. Before the new wave of offensive is launched, let's go a little further.
.”
Looking at the current situation, it may not be safe to go further, but staying where you are does not necessarily guarantee safety. Sun Wu thought about it and decided to go deeper.
Walking deeper does not mean walking all the way. After all, the three of them don't have a map in their hands. If they keep walking like this, it will just become a journey of exploring underground waterways. If they go around the city inexplicably, it will be very funny.
So Sun Wu's idea was very simple, just to find a secluded place, rest for a while, and then make plans again.
Soon after, the three of them rested in a relatively wide dry corner and took a breath.
In the battle just now, Xiao Shang could be said to be the most relaxed and comfortable one. He was either held by a feather hairpin or carried by Sun Wu. He was well protected from the beginning to the end. If the environment was not so bad, he would actually be a
Great opportunity to sleep.
However, considering his physical condition, Xiao Shang's situation is very pessimistic. Even now, Sun Wu still can't figure out how Xiao Shang got such serious injuries. If it is said that he was injured by a rock while falling,
, then there is no way it would be as if the body had been blown up by a bomb. This kind of injury... is really unbelievable.
Fortunately in the misfortune, the advanced medical equipment of the Loulan clan helped the three of them take good care of it. Although the injuries were not healed, the situation has improved a lot. Xiao Shang's life is no longer in danger, and Sun Wu can feel at ease.
Quite a few.
"Miss Bao, Xiao Shang's injury is very strange, what do you think?"
"No. There is another thing that concerns me. The Loulan clan's machines helped us treat us and also did an inspection. It was obvious that something was discovered during the inspection, and then they started to attack us. What do you think?
What did those machines find?"
"this……"
Sun Wu was at a loss for words, not because he couldn't think of the answer, but because he recalled that those machines seemed to sound alarms and attack her when they were checking Xiao Shang. He and Yu Baohan were jointly targeted because they were protecting Xiao Shang.
Attack the target.
Therefore, the Loulan clan's machines have no intention of forcibly excluding themselves and Yu Baohan, and all attacks are only aimed at Xiaoshang?
Sun Wu thought of this conclusion, but it was difficult to say it, because he could not leave Xiao Shang for this reason, but if he insisted on protecting Xiao Shang, it would affect Yu Bao Hairpin. Such words... I don't know how to say it.
.
If the village elder were here, he would probably laugh wildly and slap his palm on Yu Baohan's shoulder, saying, "My dear, you are so unlucky that we got you involved, hahaha"; even if it were Lu Feiyang,
The handling methods were similar, but Sun Wu was not mature enough to deal with this matter indifferently. He just felt that his mouth weighed a thousand pounds and he didn't know how to say it better.
In the end, Yu Baohan solved the problem by herself. Seeing Sun Wu's thoughts, she expressed her stance with a smile.
"Please don't worry about me."
Yu Baohan smiled and said: "Now that we are all in the same boat, we should share the joys and sorrows together. There is no need to worry about being involved or not. However, compared with this problem, in fact, the message left by Mr. Galilas is the most important thing.
It’s important.”
In addition to dealing with Sun Wu's problem, he also changed the topic. Yu Bao Hairpin's clever skills deftly resolved the awkward situation, and this thoughtfulness made Sun Wu feel like a spring breeze. Only Xiangling had given him this feeling in the past.
, now the feather hairpin also shows the same thoughtfulness, which makes Sun Wu very interesting.
"Could it be that... all the girls in Wanzilou are so gentle and considerate? No wonder they are so popular, but... isn't Wanzilou a brothel? Why does it seem to have become a bride training school?
"
This idea was a bit funny, but Sun Wu quickly concentrated on thinking about the question raised by Yu Bao Hairpin.
The information revealed by Galilas before his death was really important, and it confirmed Sun Wu's suspicions after he came to the outside world. This weird sect of the Heart's Eye Sect is indeed not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Not only is it involved in the espionage organization established by the Dawu Dynasty, but it has also been controlled by the Heluo Sword Sect.
Although Sun Wu knew that the Heart's Eye Sect was powerful outside the territory before, he was still somewhat vague about it. Now that he understood it completely, he suddenly found that what he was facing was one of the two holy sects. The feeling was completely different.
"If we want to fight against the Heluo Sword Sect, I... our strength doesn't seem to be enough. I mean... the Heluo Sword Sect is one of the two holy sects and has so many masters. How can we possibly defeat it?"
Sun Wu's words made Yu Baohan smile.
"Master Sun's words are wrong, so what if one of the two holy sects is one of the two great sects? You are also the master of Cihangjingdian. Cihangjingdian is full of masters, but looking around at the masters currently in Cihangjingdian, in addition to suffering...
...The herbal tea master myself, there are probably not many others who can compare with you."
"But... Heluo Sword Sect, in addition to its masters, also has very powerful magic weapons. We have fought against the Xinyan Sect several times and suffered a lot in magic weapons. If there are still a few things like the Earth Divine Halberd,
I don’t even have a chance to fight anymore.”
"The martial arts skills of the Heluo sect are indeed wonderful, especially their technique of using stillness to stop and use force to strike, which is unparalleled in the world. When practiced to the extreme, the power of a single feather can control the strongest in the world. However, as far as I know, Heluo School
Many advanced martial arts skills of the Luo Jian Sect also have to withstand high winds
Danger, like the way in which the Heart Eye Sect Master and the Earth Priest work together to guide you and me to attack each other with our internal forces, the risk behind it should be very high. If you make a slight mistake, you will be attacked by your and my internal forces without any defense.
He died tragically on the spot in an instant."
Yu Baohan said: "As for the magic weapons of the Heluo Sect, there are indeed many powerful things. I must have benefited a lot from excavating relics outside the territory for more than ten years. But super magic weapons like the Earth Divine Halberd have historically been
There are only a few famous ones, and there are many restrictions on their use. If we formulate a strategy first, although we cannot say that we are a sure winner, we will never be defeated as one-sided as we are now."
Hearing what Yu Baohan said, Sun Wu's confidence suddenly increased. He felt that as long as he was well prepared, winning in the battle was not that difficult. Especially since he had seen the enemy's tactics this time, he would not be so easy to become an enemy next time.
Take advantage of.
In comparison, the other information revealed by Galilas is more difficult to process.
The secret activities of the Heart Eye Sect used the method of disguise to secretly replace several important people and seize power. Although Galilas said that not many people were replaced, he also specifically pointed out that some people in Kucha were
Replaced.
If this tactic is listed as a last resort, the Xinyan Sect will certainly not replace a small secretary casually. If it is to be replaced, it will be a big shot who can influence Kucha. Judging from the actual situation, it is most consistent with these possibilities.
The candidate seems to be...
"Miss Bao, do you think... King Agubra may be replaced? Is the current King Agubra in Kucha a fake?"
"All I can say is...everything is possible."
Yu Baohan said it euphemistically, but it is also true. There is currently too little information for judgment. They have not even seen King Agubra. If they want to deduce whether someone is true or false, they will not be able to determine it no matter what.
of.
"If King Agubra is fake, it will be very difficult. Huh? In fact, it is easier to handle. If the person has not been silenced, as long as we can rescue the real person and expose the mask of the bad guy, all problems can be solved.
, there is no need to be like a blind man 'touching' an elephant, unable to figure out what to do for a long time."
Sun Wu said excitedly, Yu Baohan also nodded and said: "That's right, but there is actually another issue that I am more worried about."
This problem is the situation of the Heluo Sword Sect. When Galilas revealed the secret, Yu Baohan especially noticed that there was one important point that Galilas did not mention.
The Heluo Sword Sect dominates the Heart Eye Sect and has complete control over the Dawu Dynasty's forces outside the territory. It has also sent experts one after another to enhance its strength outside the territory. All this must be the consensus of the leadership of the Heluo Sword Sect, and it is absolutely impossible.
The result of one or two people acting arbitrarily, however, the consensus of the leadership is not equal to the instructions of the supreme leader. In the message sent by Galilas, not a single sentence mentioned the thoughts of Master Changhe.
This sounds very abnormal, because such a big thing cannot be hidden from Master Changhe, nor can it be carried out with the opposition of Master Changhe. The most reasonable explanation is that Master Changhe is leading all this behind the scenes, but Jia
The last sentence that Lilas didn't finish gave Yu Baohan another idea.
"Actually, I've been doubting recently that, except for Qiuci, maybe even Changhe Zhenren..."
This sentence is not finished, but the meaning is not difficult to understand. It is obviously saying that except for Qiuci, even Changhe Zhenren may have been replaced. In other words, Changhe Zhenren does not approve of the Heluo Sword Sect's development outside the territory.
The plan was plotted by the masters in the faction. These masters only carried out these plans after excluding the leader.
"... Logically speaking, this inference is possible. Master Changhe has been practicing in seclusion for many years, and has rarely 'showed' his face in front of his disciples. It is possible that he was replaced and 'showed' his face from afar.
Just a stand-in."
Yu Baohan sighed: "But this is only a possibility, because if this is to be used as evidence, then Chairman Lu Yunqiao doesn't show up at all times and should have been replaced a hundred or dozens of times.
Already."
There was also too little information to determine anything specific. Sun Wu nodded and agreed with Yu Baohan's idea. Just as he was about to speak, Yu Baohan suddenly went limp, her body fragrant and delicate as if it were boneless.
He fell down on the young man's shoulder and leaned against it.
"Well!"
Sudden shock made Sun Wu feel like he was sitting on pins and needles. His whole body froze completely. He smelled the fragrance that hit his nose and didn't dare to take a breath. He didn't know why the feather hairpin suddenly appeared like this.
"Bao, Miss Bao, please stop acting..."
Originally, he wanted to ask Yu Baohan to stop teasing him, but the words could not come out of his mouth, and his whole body became weak and weak, and his mind became more and more drowsy. Only then did Sun Wu finally understand.
A new wave of attacks has already begun, but it is not a tangible frontal attack, but a colorless and tasteless anesthetic...
