"Life parameters are interrupted, signals are interrupted..."
In the cabin of the Monyach, Thelma exclaimed.
Mance rushed to the monitoring screen almost instantly, staring at the data above. The screen was already filled with eye-catching red exclamation marks, indicating that all signals connected to the bottom of the river were completely disconnected.
"Reel the line, quickly retract the line!" Mance shouted.
Although we don't know what accident happened, there are lifelines tied to Ye Shengyaji and the two of them. As long as it is started at this time, the runner at the stern will rotate again and quickly retract the lifeline, which can pull the two people up.
"Selma, are you deaf? I asked you to retract the line!"
Mance looked at the Latin girl who was almost stunned in place.
He stepped forward, preparing to pull the switch himself, but the next moment his face turned pale.
It turns out that the starting blade of the rotary machine has been pushed to the top, which means that it has been started, but there is no pulling force on the rotary machine.
This can only explain one situation, that is, the lifeline on Ye Shengyaji's body has been disconnected again, and they have lost that lifeline again.
…
Deep under the river, there is an ancient bronze city.
The waters were violently turbulent, and the white light refracted by the spotlights was severely torn into pieces, turning into clouds of dark white turbulence.
"What's going on? Why did it suddenly explode?"
Yaji exclaimed as if she had just woken up from a dream. At this moment, her whole body was completely hugged by Ye Sheng and pushed against the rock on one side.
"You don't remember?" Ye Sheng was also shocked.
He looked a little embarrassed at the moment. The surface of the diving suit was in tatters. Fortunately, there was no water leakage. However, the oxygen bottle behind him was exploded with cracks. The moment the mine exploded, the oxygen bottle withstood 100% damage.
The impact of seventy.
The reason why the explosion did not hit the two of them was that Ye Sheng used his flippers to kick away the mine at the critical moment, and then hugged Aki's body.
Thanks to Ye Sheng's quick reaction, otherwise both of them might have been seriously injured. And if they were seriously injured in this turbulent deep water, the only outcome waiting for the two of them would be death.
"I was taking pictures just now, and then you asked me to give you the camera, and then...you mean I detonated the mine?"
Yaji wanted to explain, but as he spoke, he seemed to have recalled something, his face was full of horror, and his whole body became terrified.
Ye Sheng nodded solemnly, "Just now, I was worried about preventing an accident, so I gave you a mine for self-defense, but you suddenly pulled the tab of the mine."
"But I don't know anything." Aki's face turned pale.
She also realized the seriousness of the matter. If Ye Sheng hadn't responded in time, it would have definitely caused a catastrophe by now.
"It's very weird here. It may be because of the dragon inscriptions on the dome. When we took pictures and recorded them, we subconsciously formed a connection with these dragon inscriptions, which caused us to have spiritual vision and unable to control our own spirits. So
I had hallucinations similar to those experienced during spiritual visions.”
Ye Sheng looked at the dragon inscriptions on the dome with vigilant eyes.
However, he did not watch them in order, but looked elsewhere in confusion, for fear of being affected by these dragon texts again.
"Um!"
Aki nodded with lingering fear.
She couldn't help but look at Ye Sheng, "When I was going to attack you with a water mine, why did you protect me instead of attacking me?"
"Fool, you are my future wife and I can't bear to part with you. Besides, I don't believe you will attack me. There must be some accident." Ye Sheng said confidently.
"Maybe I don't want to marry you, so I plan to die together with you." Aki said.
"That's it...then it seems that you are destined to marry me, because your mines are ineffective against us, and we are a perfect match." Ye Sheng laughed.
"Okay, you're awesome, I can't compare to you... So what should we do now? We've lost more than half of our oxygen, we don't have much time, and we've lost contact with the top."
Yaji looked at the cracked oxygen bottle behind Ye Sheng. Water bubbles visible to the naked eye sprang out from the cracks. It was obvious that the enhanced oxygen inside was escaping outwards. The oxygen reserve that could originally be maintained for more than an hour has now shrunk in a large area.
Compress their time again.
"This is the closest we are to the Dragon Clan ruins, and because of the underwater earthquake, no one knows whether this place will collapse again. If it does happen..."
Although Ye Sheng didn't finish what he said, Yaji could completely understand what he meant.
If there is a serious collapse here, they are likely to completely lose this opportunity to explore the Dragon Palace, and the place may even be buried. Even if they can mobilize their forces to dig again in the future, it will increase countless difficulties.
Although he knew it was very dangerous, Ye Sheng obviously didn't want to give up, and for Aki, she also didn't want to give up this exploration.
"Save enough oxygen for landing, and then explore this place as much as possible!" Ye Sheng said in a deep voice with firm eyes.
"Okay." Aki nodded.
Both of them lost no time and began to race against time to explore.
Fortunately, they had just divided the work and took photos of the patterns on the dome separately, so that they could form a complete pattern.
Moreover, Ye Sheng made a simple adjustment and released the Word Spirit Snake again, achieving communication with the warship.
After Ye Sheng explained the cause of the explosion simply and clearly, and expressed the two's firm determination to continue exploring, Mance had no choice but to tell them to be careful again and again.
Soon Ye Shengyaji passed through the holes and came to an extremely empty bronze place, similar to a square structure.
I saw a series of bronze statues leaning against the outer wall, each about 40 to 50 centimeters in height. They were wearing ancient Chinese robes, holding ancient Chinese tooth wands in their hands, and standing on bridge-shaped copper poles.
, heads are slightly lowered, with respectful but polite expressions. What is strange is that their heads are not human faces, but heads like cobras, with long and narrow necks sticking out of dark robes.
"Who is this?" Yaji asked Ye Sheng with a puzzled face.
The latter frowned slightly, "I don't know, maybe it's an unknown totem of the dragon clan, which can be brought back to Kassel College for the professors to study."
As he spoke, Ye Sheng stretched out his hand to lift the bronze statue up from the copper pole. Due to the close distance, Ye Sheng could see that the eyes on the snake's face were silver, shining with silver light in the slightly dim and turbulent underwater environment.
, it looks like a wink at first glance.
Ye Sheng shook his head, trying to disperse the weird thoughts in his mind.
But the next moment, a strange sneer appeared at the corner of the snake-faced man's mouth, and then the statue raised the Yahu palm in its hand and hit Ye Sheng hard on the head.
You must know that this is not a wooden prototype, but a solid bronze. If it is hit, it will definitely cause a concussion.
"Ye Sheng, be careful!"
Aki's exclamation came.
Ye Sheng was obviously experienced in many battles. He ducked sideways to avoid the heavy blow at the critical moment, then quickly pulled out an underwater rifle from his body and fired at the statue's snake face.
Boom boom boom!
Three shots in a row, the snake's face was completely shattered.
The headless statue is like a lifeless corpse, carried away by the turbulent currents and drifting away.
However, Ye Sheng and Ya Ji did not take it lightly. They were immediately on guard, and they were waiting intently with four guns.
They are all extremely outstanding members of the executive department. They are superior to many hybrids in terms of will and strength. It can be said that if other statues burst out at this time, they will definitely be suppressed by the firepower of the two at the first time.
Because there are hundreds of similar bronze statues around, no one knows whether other snake-faced statues will suddenly break out into trouble.
Click, click, click!
A terrifying friction sound suddenly came from all directions, like countless pieces of rusty iron scraping violently together.
Ye Sheng and Ya Ji stood back to back with their guns raised vigilantly, ready for a sudden attack at any time.
But the next moment their expressions were completely shocked.
What made the friction sound was not the surrounding bronze statues, but the entire ancient bronze city.
Thousands of bronze gears began to rotate slowly, accompanied by the echo of huge bells. The mottled rust on the disc-shaped gears quickly fell off during the friction, blooming with a fascinating light, like teeth biting tightly.
They make a popping sound together.
The snake-faced statues sneered strangely. They raised the Yahu tablets in their hands, twisted their necks as long and narrow as snakes, and looked up at the dome, as if they were performing an ancient pilgrimage.
"This Bronze City is activated!"
Ye Sheng looked solemn.
Although he didn't know what happened specifically, he knew that something was reviving in the ancient bronze city. The snakes he scattered outside all fled back in fear, gathering in his mind and trembling.
Intuition told Ye Sheng to run away from here immediately!
…
"Can I contact them now?"
In the cabin of the Monyach, Angers looked solemn.
Not long ago, Ye Sheng's snake group could barely communicate. After knowing that the two of them were okay for the time being, they even received a lot of photos, including a photo full of bronze inscriptions, like a map of this bronze city.
Marked by lines.
But then there was a roar throughout the ancient city, like a monster waking up from sleep for thousands of years.
Thelma on the side smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"The entire Bronze City is a huge mechanical city. Now that it has started, it is like a constantly rotating Rubik's Cube. No one knows what shape it will twist into. The bronze inscription that Ye Sheng just photographed should be a map of the ancient city.
, but we couldn’t interpret it correctly.”
Mance slammed his fist on the operating table.
There will never be a more powerless moment than this.
His students were facing a life and death crisis in the ancient city less than a hundred meters away, but as a teacher, Mance stood here, unable to do anything.
"I have asked the high-level teachers and students at the college headquarters to interpret the inscription. I believe there will be an answer soon." Angers said solemnly.
"But these inscriptions are all very ancient dragon inscriptions. Even if we have Norma, EVA, and even a huge team of teachers and students, how can this department be able to decipher them so quickly?" Mance frowned.
He is well aware of the complexity and difficulty of deciphering dragon inscriptions. Even the existing dragon inscriptions that have been deciphered have gone through decades of research. How can it be possible for this inscription to be deciphered in a short time, or even
It's all been interpreted.
"Maybe it wasn't possible before, but it may not be possible now." Ange said in a deep tone.
I thought of that boy's figure.
Mance and everyone in the cabin fell silent.
Now the only thing they can do is pray, and if prayer works...
…
At this moment, we are in the ancient bronze city at the bottom of the river.
Ye Sheng took Yaji quickly through the intricate city.
Although the terrain is complex and changeable, Ye Sheng can still make some changes by relying on the Spiritual Snake.
But at this moment, he was like a machine that was about to be overloaded. Huge pain surged in, and Ye Sheng felt as if his brain was being cut bit by bit.
Yan Ling Snake has almost reached its limit.
This huge city two thousand years ago was activated, and the walls that seemed to be a single piece rotated and split at incredible angles, turning into a brand new road.
Because the city is changing, these paths are also changing.
Ye Sheng felt that he was going crazy. Although he could barely cope with the situation with the help of the Spiritual Snake, this ancient city was updating and changing in real time.
Maybe you thought the passage was right in front of you a second ago, but when you got there, you found out sadly that it had become a dead end, and you couldn't stay where you were, because the chaotic bronze passage was closing in quickly, and you were very likely to...
Squeezed to death, no, crushed to death.
The situation is becoming more and more serious, and it has even reached a critical moment.
Even through the thick diving suit, Yaji could feel the heat and weakness of Ye Sheng's body.
A huge wave of water came over fiercely, and immediately hit the two of them hard.
Even though he was extremely weak, Ye Sheng still held Yaji in his arms at the critical moment, and Ye Sheng's body was the first to hit the bronze wall.
With this impact, Ye Sheng felt that his lumbar vertebrae were about to break, but he gritted his teeth and remained silent, blood spilling from the corners of his mouth.
"Aki, I might be dying soon. I really shouldn't set a flag like getting married when I get back. It always feels like fate." Ye Sheng grinned bitterly.
"Ye Sheng, you bastard, I, Jiudoku Aki, will not marry a man who gives up casually." Aki's face was filled with anger.
In fact, she was a little panicked now, because she could feel Ye Sheng's weakness and the feeling of exhaustion that was gradually failing him, and she was afraid that the young man had really given up.
"But I seem to have been accomplishing nothing all these years." Ye Sheng smiled bitterly, "Ya Ji, listen, I will release the Word Spirit Snake with all my strength in a moment to figure out a way out for you, although this city is constantly changing.
, but there are still certain rules, but you must be fast when the time comes. Remember what you promised me, don’t look back and evacuate with all your strength!”
"What about you?"
"I..." Ye Sheng looked up at this ancient bronze city.
"I'll go around this Dragon Palace again and see what Norton's bedroom is like. Maybe there is a hot girl. Of course, even if there is, I definitely won't be tempted, because I love Aki very much, hehe
, you go out first, and then we will work together to turn Norton's lair upside down."
"Ye Sheng, do you think you are fooling the child? How could I, Shuude Aki, abandon my friends!" Aki said angrily.
Ye Sheng seemed to have anticipated this scene, and his expression became serious, "Aki, I know I can't fool you. The situation is urgent now. If we don't have the determination to give up, we will all be trapped in it eventually, but the secret of the Dragon Clan must be brought with us."
Get out, if you don’t want me to die in vain, then follow my instructions and evacuate at full speed!”
Because the signal is completely interrupted, the photos taken by the camera cannot be uploaded simultaneously. Only by keeping the camera can the photos in the ruins be kept from being lost. Every photo taken here is priceless, and will play a vital role in interpreting the entire dragon world in the future.
has a vital role.
"But!"
Aji was about to cry. She knew that once she accepted it, it would mean abandoning Ye Sheng and escaping alone, which would mean losing him completely.
Yaji never thought that one day she would be separated from Ye Sheng. She was already used to the boy's glib tone, his humor, and she was even more used to the boy being by her side all the time. She even looked forward to getting married to him in the future.
I didn't expect the parting to come so suddenly.
"No but! It's too late! Aki, you don't plan to marry me anyway. I have no love left, so I'll take the first step."
Ye Sheng shouted, time is of the essence, now is definitely not the time to hesitate, a decision must be made.
"No, no, no, Ye Sheng, I love you. You are everything to me. I can't live without you in the future. I want to marry you, even in my dreams." Yaji could no longer suppress the turbulent emotions in her heart.
She felt that if she didn't say it now, she would never have another chance in the future.
"Hehe, I knew it." Ye Sheng's face was full of embarrassment, and he smiled like a conspiracy had succeeded.
"you……"
"Aki, after hearing what you say, I, Ye Sheng, will die with no regrets."
The next moment, Ye Sheng looked solemn, and a violent and chaotic aura emanated from him.
He's about to explode!
But just when he was about to use all his firepower to release the Word Spirit Snake to calculate a temporary escape route.
"Ahem, um, excuse me, can you two show off your affection again when you go out?"
A somewhat embarrassing voice suddenly rang in Ye Shengyaji's ears, or to be precise, it rang in the signal channel of the two of them.
"Damn it, we are parting ways now, can't we tell the truth? By the way, who are you?" Ye Sheng was caught off guard.
"I'm Lu Mingfei. Not long ago, Principal Angers sent a photo of the map with the bronze inscription and asked the teachers and students of Kassel College to interpret the map of the Bronze City, so I came here."
"In other words, you have interpreted the Longwen map?" Ye Sheng asked subconsciously.
"Yes, but I'm a little sorry for the delay of five minutes."
The boy's voice was a little embarrassed, as if he thought five minutes was a very long time and meant that everyone had been waiting for a long time.
Hiss~
Ye Sheng and Ya Ji looked at each other underwater, and both saw the shock in each other's eyes.
If it was true, as the boy said, that the dragon map could be decoded in five minutes, then what kind of monster did they recruit into that small coastal town?
