After the bronze human face sucked the blood, it remained silent for a moment and slowly opened its mouth, as if yawning.
There was a terrible sound of metal heating and breaking from the depths of the bronze wall. A dark hole about one meter in diameter appeared on the bronze wall. Above and below were the teeth of the bronze human face. They were definitely not human teeth. They were sharp.
Sharp as a dagger.
Xia Mi and Fu Nian looked at each other and stepped across it one after another.
In the dark green atmosphere, in the golden pupils, layers of ripples caused by swimming are cast on an incredible bronze vessel.
It is round, surrounded by a structure as sharp as a wolf's teeth. At first glance, it reminds people that if it is thrown, it will roar and draw a strange arc, bite the enemy's neck and spin.
"Gears." Fu Nian murmured.
"Well, Norton's craftsmanship is extremely sophisticated among us. His palace used to be like a complicated machine, and every link had a different role."
Continuing to move forward, a second metal disc appeared in their sight, followed by a third, fourth... countless metal discs covering a huge bronze wall tens of meters high, with bronze teeth
They bite together like the interlocking gears behind a mechanical dial, holding each other tightly and biting together.
Directly in front of them, there were caves one after another in the ancient bronze city. Each cave was connected by a bronze corridor. After being submerged by water, most of the corridors were located below the water surface, like an ant nest half submerged in water.
.
"This way." Xia Mi glanced around and swam in one direction with ease.
Then a snorkeler got into one of the caves. Fu Nian followed closely behind.
After passing through a corridor, Fu Nian raised his head and looked upward, looking up at the cave in front of him. In the golden light, the space was as huge as a giant's palace. The dome was covered with ancient patterns.
The scattered branches, leaves and branches of a giant tree are bent into solemn dragon characters.
"This seems to be some kind of guardian hall." Fu Nian looked at Long Wen above with curiosity in his eyes.
"Dragon text can produce spiritual vision effects. It may be a defense mechanism used by Norton to activate Bronze City. Brother, try to ignore it."
"oh."
Moving his eyes, Fu Nian suddenly saw a statue from Far EasTone.
The statue is only a few dozen centimeters, which is different from other statues of the same height outside. He is wearing an ancient Chinese robe, holding a Chinese-style tooth wat, standing on a bridge-shaped bronze pole, lowering his head slightly, showing respect.
He looked as polite as a noble, but his head looked like a cobra, and his slender neck poked out from the collar of his robe, which was extremely abrupt.
"Guardian spirit."
Fu Nian quietly swam over and stood face to face with the statue of the snake-faced man. At that moment, he was a little surprised. The eyes of the snake-faced man were originally pure silver, shining with a lonely silver light on the dark bronze surface, like
He was blinking. But when his eyes fell on the eyes of the statue, he actually found that the statue's eyes immediately moved away. The lonely eyes became aggrieved.
Fu Nian tilted his head curiously, maybe out of grievance, or maybe out of fear.
Following Xia Mi, there is also a corridor ahead, but both sides of this corridor are full of these snake-faced statues.
Every time the two of them moved forward, these snake-faced people lowered their heads respectfully.
"These sculptures represent the metal elements controlled by Norton. According to the alchemical element table, there are 88 types in total." Xia Mi explained while looking at Fu Nian's curious eyes next to him.
"They are quite well-behaved." Fu Nian nodded and was silent for a while before giving an evaluation.
Finally, their vision broadened again. At the end of the corridor, there was also a huge space like a royal palace. There was a huge bronze dome in the space. On the dome was a giant tree, starting from the center of the bronze dome.
It changes into countless kinds of branches, leaves and petals, like a huge mind map.
At the end of the line of sight, a huge snake-shaped statue stands, more than twenty meters tall, sitting upright, like a king looking down on his courtiers, with a domineering look in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, Norton really still likes to play with these things." Xia Mi looked at the statue at the end, and he couldn't tell what the charm was in his eyes.
"It's a bit like the patterns on medieval witches." Fu Nian looked at the complicated patterns on the arms of the statue. Some of them were dragon inscriptions, and some were totems. They were very complicated.
"The meaning here is very clear. The small statues behind them are all metal elements, and Norton here is the master of elements. He likes to call this place a pilgrimage road. It has really not changed at all for thousands of years."
…
This blue water body appears very clear in the light golden light curtain. There are no floating objects and not a single fish as far as the eye can see. It is like a stagnant water with no vitality at all.
After leaving the palace, Fu Nian followed Xia Mi into another corridor. Now he was walking in a hall that resembled a swimming pool, because it was completely submerged in water.
suddenly,
Fu Nian, who was advancing, held Xia Mi's hand.
Xia Mi was stunned,
Following Fu Nian's gaze, he finally emerged from the end of the water curtain and saw that the bottom of the water was full of white bones. They were so densely packed that there was almost no place to stay.
The distinctive skull and sternum indicate that these bones belong to humans. Thousands of people died here and their bones have been deposited here for thousands of years.
"There must have been a war here. These people are all soldiers." Xia Mi put the things he picked up from the pile of bones in front of Fu Nian.
A piece of rusted metal piece, rectangular, with faintly visible small holes in the four corners of the metal piece.
"It's a piece of armor, the standard armor of the Han Dynasty. This thing is also called 'Jia Zha'. It is tied with a hemp rope to form an armor. The workmanship of the Jia Zha is excellent, so it should be a standard armor." Xia Mi said softly, "The bones are calm under the bones.
There are all these armor pieces. You can grab a lot of them. Also, pay attention to the corpse over there."
military."
"They all seemed to have died in an instant." Fu Nian looked at the armor without any scars, his voice was flat. It looked like the Dragon King had taken action to kill them directly.
He can also do this. In the eyes of the Dragon King, ordinary people are as fragile as ants on the ground, and a large number of them can be killed with just the slightest force.
"We'd better move on. The bronze and fire should not be completely hatched yet." Fu Nian said that he was not very interested in the cause of their deaths.
"We're actually already here."
"Huh?" Fu Nian was stunned.
"I haven't been here for a long time. I thought I was going in the wrong direction just now, but I didn't expect it to be buried."
Xia Mi raised his hand and made a move. The group of bones lying silent on the ground and almost integrated into the mud were instantly swept away by a force, spreading rapidly towards the distance like the undulating waves of the sea.
The ground was cleaned instantly. A dark metal structure appeared in front of them. In the middle of the metal floor, another living being appeared in front of them.
Xia Mi did not hesitate, and gently placed his white and tender fingers on the center of the living spirit's eyebrows, and a trace of dark blood swept across the entire living spirit's face in an instant.
In front of them, in the center of the water, there was a smooth slide spiraling down. This exaggerated water slide was like a 'rapid ride' in an exciting water park.
Xia Mi stretched out his hand and took Fu Nian's hand. He jumped up and fell into it.
Deep down, they were sitting side by side on a huge waterwheel. The bronze waterwheel was covered with a thick, unknown fabric, and every baffle that received the water was a comfortable seat. They
Going down a dark passage, there was the sound of rushing water on both sides.
After a moment, a white light suddenly appeared in front of them. Then the white light flashed.
Fu Nian jumped out suddenly with Xia Mi.
Originally, Fu Nian thought that based on the impression Norton gave him, what appeared in his dormitory would be a vast palace with ancient Greek-style pillars or ancient Chinese-style coiled dragon pillars.
In addition, there is a very high dome. There must be a bronze faucet or something in the caisson. There is a towering platform with a throne on it. There should be statues of snake-shaped people standing in all directions. If there are any mercury and copper flowing all over the floor,
The mountains and rivers are cast, and the ever-burning lamps fueled by dozens of jars of mermaid ointment are more in line with the style of the Dragon King.
But now they were standing in a small house, an ancient dwelling made of bronze. Apart from the texture, it was no different from the ancient Chinese dwellings he had seen in the illustrations in history books.
There are even windows, but outside the windows are dark metal walls.
It was illuminated by a small lamp, made of bronze, in the shape of a palace maid kneeling on the table, holding the lamp in one hand and holding the sleeve of the other hand above the lampshade.
"Changxin Palace Lantern." Fu Nian had seen this thing before in history books. This thing was once unearthed from the tomb of Liu Sheng, Prince Jing of Zhongshan.
"It's a Chinese lantern, with a perfect design. The oil enters from below and the smoke flows away from the sleeves."
There is a device that pumps oil from the lamp oil tank to this place, and it has not been drained dry for thousands of years."
"This place looks very simple." Fu Nian looked at the surrounding rooms.
This place is well sealed. After thousands of years, there is no dust at all. The furnishings in the house are extremely simple. Two of the three rooms are bedrooms. The beds are made of rattan and are still strong. The scrolls hanging on the wall are not so lucky.
.Fu Nian swept his fingers,
The pieces of silk shattered, and a bare wooden shaft fell to the ground and rolled away. There was also a pottery vase on the low table. In the vase was a withered flower. The dark stem seemed to be made of wire.
Two robes are hung on the wall, both
White, at first glance it looks like two people, one tall and one short, standing against the wall. In the main room, a stack of yellowed rough paper is placed on the low table. The handwriting on it is clearly legible. It is a dignified Han official. Fu Nian scans
One glance, it’s an incomplete sentence,
"The twelfth year of Longxing, divination, unknown..."
This room gave him a very strange feeling, as if thousands of years had been frozen here, and the smell of the people who originally lived here still lingered here.
