The vortex rotates on the surface of the transparent shell, and the high-pressure air leaked from the Manns oxygen bottle quickly fills the bubble-like space.

There seemed to be an invisible wind on Mance's hand. Wherever he touched, the wet bronze wall immediately became dry, and large pieces of patina were peeled off, revealing a new blue-black metal surface.

The ferocious face became clearer. It turned out that what was in his mouth were not fangs, but flaming firewood. Just now, it was just the patina that blocked the burning fire of the firewood.

This is really a weird painting, so lifelike, showing so much pain and regret that one can't help but think that if a person was burned alive, he would definitely have this look on his face.

"Baby, it's your turn." Mance carefully took out the key, held the baby's chubby arms with both hands, and passed it under his armpits.

The baby didn't cry. His eyes were burning with golden pupils. He looked like he was only a few months old. He had a pacifier in his mouth and there were sparse lanugo hair on his head. But for such a child, his face looked like that of a gangster boss.

Solemn and solemn.

It's a pity that there is no reborn baby gangster killer in a suit in this world, only a key burning with dragon's blood.

The baby stared at the face, slowly stretched out his little hand, and put his fingers on the forehead of the human face.

The metal protrusion pierced the baby's tender skin, and blood spread from the center of the eyebrows and soaked into the wrinkles on the face.

In an instant, the face twisted, changing from pain to joy. A low milking sound came from the baby's mouth. Ye Sheng reached out to catch the pacifier, and the bronze wall buzzed and vibrated.

The baby's blood flows into the mouth of the bronze human face, and the dead thing seems to come to life, sucking the blood vigorously. The baby's expression is as solemn as a martyr, and there is no sign of ordinary babies crying when their mother disappears.

, and even put his other hand on the bronze human face, as if he was going to kiss the human face's mouth.

Mance quickly stopped this dangerous and terrifying behavior and hugged the key. Shutoku Aki took out a hemostatic bandage and tied the injured finger of the key.

All the blood flowed into the mouth of the human face. After a moment of silence, the human face slowly opened its mouth. The sound of metal tearing came from the depths of the bronze wall. The wall that was originally tightly closed seemed like a monster opening its mouth.

The mouth slowly parted and turned into a square-shaped deep well.

A dark passage appeared above the bronze human face, large enough for an adult to pass through.

The baby looked at his fingers, seeming to realize that he was injured. Crystal tears gathered in his eyes. Ye Sheng stuffed the pacifier back into the baby's mouth and blocked it.

"This is the passage." Professor Mance put the baby back into the diving suit and took the old oxygen bottle that Ye Sheng and Shude Aki replaced.

"Living Spirit, Norton's masterpiece, kills the material itself with extreme flames, and then accommodates the spirit and soul of living people. It is the guardian of the Bronze City. Only high-purity dragon blood can temporarily satisfy it."

Mance pulled on his diving mask and raised two fingers: "You only have about 2 hours. The living channel will be closed. You must complete the task before then."

"Probably?" Ye Sheng said, "Can you be more precise? This is the palace of the Dragon King. No one knows how dangerous it is inside."

"Then don't discuss it with me, hurry up." Mance said: "I will close the dust-free place, and when the water fills the channel, you can swim in."

"Be careful not to let your lifeline break. It's not time for Norton to wake up yet. As long as you don't touch the mechanism, the danger won't be too great." Mance inserted a steel fork into the mud beside him, and there was a camera on it.

, channel abnormalities can be monitored.

After saying that, the transparent protective cover slowly shrunk and the water flooded the bronze wall again. Mance gave a thumbs up and was slowly pulled up by the lifeline.

Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki jumped into the passage one after the other.

Mance climbed onto the side of the boat, took off his flippers and diving suit, and handed the baby to the gorgeous woman.

"The life parameters are normal, the signal is normal, there are so many bronze statues, my God, is this the palace of the Dragon King!" Selma sighed, and on the screen was the real-time video transmitted by Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki.

Fortunately, there is still a lot of air in the Bronze City. It is like a black box, and it was only just now that it was opened and connected to the outside world.

The water flows down the channel, like a downward fountain, but the opening of the fountain is too small, and it will be impossible to fill the space in the Bronze City for a while.

"The oxygen content is normal." Ye Sheng looked at the report from the instrument, "It's strange. It stands to reason that thousands of years of oxidation and chemical reactions in Bronze City are enough to deplete the oxygen here. Is the instrument broken?"

"No, it works normally." Mance said: "After all, this is the masterpiece of the Dragon King. No one knows what it puts here before entering. Don't forget your mission, don't pay attention to other things, and

, do not take off the mask."

"Understood." Ye Sheng and Jiude Aji walked forward cautiously.

Huge metal discs appeared on the screen, one, two, three...

The discs bite together, and people can't help but admire the exquisiteness and beauty of its design, because these discs are actually huge gears.

"It's so grand." Ye Sheng swallowed, as if there was a giant connected to the sky standing in front of him. These gears as huge as high-rise buildings were nothing more than the gears in a clockwork clock in the hands of the giant.

Fine parts.

Anyone who sees this scene will marvel at its greatness.

Bronze palace, a palace does not require these precise craftsmanship. What is Norton's purpose of making the palace? Why did it come here from Northern Europe across the Eurasian continent?

Many mysteries emerged, but no one could answer them except the Dragon King himself.

Ye Sheng and Shutoku Aki then walked forward, and a huge cavity like a round egg, submerged in water, appeared in front of them.

The water submerged half of the round egg. It was as clear as crystal. The holes above the head were carved with ancient patterns, mysterious and ancient. Shutoku Aki quickly took out a high-definition camera to take pictures.

The photo was immediately sent to the Monyach. This was a dragon text, a dragon text that had never been discovered before.

"Extra bonus!" Mance clenched his right fist.

Shutoku Aki and Ye Sheng respectively captured the patterns on the dome and sent back all the photos.

"Beautiful, keep exploring, your oxygen can still last for 1 hour and 14 minutes, remember the time." Mance said excitedly.

"Yes." Jiudoku Akiya and Ye Sheng said in unison.

When I received this answer, suddenly, the picture on the screen turned into gray flowers, making noisy electronic noise.

"Captain! The signal line between Aki and Ye Sheng has been cut off! We can't contact them!"

"What happened! Was the channel closed early?"

"No, the video display channel is normal!"

"Pull the lifeline!"

"The lifeline was cut along with the signal line!"

...

In the bronze dome, Ye Sheng used snake again.

He was detecting the location of Norton's eggs, and Aki Shutoku was by his side, protecting him.

Invisible snakes swam out from all around him. Under the good conductor of bronze, the snakes moved faster and spread towards the palace quickly.

In Ye Sheng's induction, the snakes drew a three-dimensional image for him. The palace was like a huge precision instrument, and various mechanisms were combined to form this super metal box.

There are alchemical patterns that have never been seen before in many places, and the level of production is so fine that Ye Sheng feels that this is a handicraft that requires hundreds of years to carve and design.

The snake searched for the egg-shaped things everywhere, but found nothing. The city was shattered by death, and ferocious living faces could be seen everywhere.

Ye Sheng concentrated his attention and carefully observed the information returned by each snake, and finally he discovered something unusual.

There is a place where all the snakes have not swam, as if they are deliberately avoiding it. It seems that there is a monarch there who cannot be disturbed. Once the monarch's anger is touched, the snakes will disappear into ashes.

Ye Sheng took back all the snakes except one, and swam toward the deep water at the bottom of the dome.

However, the snake is breaking away from Ye Sheng's shackles and escaping to another place. This is an abnormal situation that has never happened before. The snake lives in the depths of Ye Sheng's consciousness and is his loyal servant. After he awakens the spirit of speech, one by one he

Conceived and born.

His orders were absolute to the snake, but at this moment something had exceeded his authority, and the snake was allowed to break free from his control without even giving an order.

There is no doubt that the probability of the Dragon King's eggs being hidden there has increased sharply.

"I think I found Norton." Ye Sheng opened his eyes and stood up with the help of Shude Aki.

"Where." Shutoku Aki asked.

"Far away in the horizon, close in front of you." Ye Sheng pointed to the bottom of the Dome Lake.

"Is there anything unusual?"

"There are no signs of waking up. Although the snake is escaping, it is just a spontaneous instinctive behavior and has nothing to do with Norton. It should be caused by the suppression of the bloodline."

"Okay, let's take Norton's eggs back. In this way, the mission is completed." Shude Aki breathed a sigh of relief. The mission process was easier than she thought. "Norma just recommended a hotel to me.

'Langmei Food Stall' has very good reviews there. I want to try the thirteen-flavored crayfish."

"When did you ask?"

"When Lu Mingfei said he was inviting guests, Norma sent over a lot of pictures. I looked at them several times and finally chose this one."

"I'm going to report you to Professor Mance for not taking your assignment seriously."

"Then Lu Mingfei and I will go have dinner alone, and you can discuss the progress of the mission with the professor."

"Just kidding, I don't want to be alone with the old man. His face is harder than iron. I will choke to death."

"If you dare to speak ill of Professor Mance, you are finished." Shude Aki chuckled.

"Forgive me this time." Ye Sheng pulled the lifeline and it was very strong.

The sound in the earphones was temporarily quiet. The professor and the others were probably busy processing the dragon texts, which were very precious information. Just these dragon texts, the energy and money spent on this operation were already worth it.

"Let's go, I can't wait to empty Lu Mingfei's wallet."

Shutoku Aki and Ye Sheng dived into the water. They knew what the other wanted to do with just one look. This was a tacit understanding.

"After this mission is over..." Shutoku Aki opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

"What?" Ye Sheng was still concentrating on controlling the snake. He left a snake on the shore to guard him. This would not make him waste too much energy and become a useless person who could not control himself, but it would distract him a lot.

"Nothing, I saw the sculpture." Shutoku Aki pointed down.

Two bronze sculptures with snake faces and human bodies are holding spears, standing at the bottom, as if guarding something. They look like Nagas that often appear in Western fantasy stories. There are similar creatures in Chinese mythology.

Behind the sculpture is an egg, an egg with a metal shell. The egg is contained in a brass can. The snake is frantically warning the egg.

"That should be Norton's egg." Ye Sheng and Shude Aki accelerated towards the egg.

The moment they were about to get close to the egg, the snake-faced statue's eyes lit up red.

The eyes of the snake-faced people were pure silver, and the bronze embroidered skin peeled off from their appearance. They came to life! They waved the spears in their hands and stabbed the two of them!

Shutoku Aki has trained many times, and of course she will not sit still and wait for death. She pulled out the folding knife from her waist and slashed at the snake-faced man's face. Ye Sheng pulled out a Russian-made SSP-1 water modified by the equipment department.

He lowered his pistol and shot at the snake-faced man.

They cooperated perfectly and had a tacit understanding. After the first round of attacks, they rolled back and distanced themselves. Ye Sheng also pulled out his folding knife and slashed at the snake-faced man.

But suddenly there was a trance, and their swords veered upward at an angle.

A biting coldness penetrated from the bone marrow, and their knives almost hit the neck of their mission partner who had been with them day and night.

The two sculptures did not move at all and stayed in place.

Ye Sheng forced the snake to guide him and smashed the sculpture's face with his pistol.

"That was a spiritual vision just now?" Jiude Aji hugged Ye Sheng's tired and weak body.

"I'm afraid, we must have fallen into some kind of illusion." Ye Sheng felt like his brain was about to explode, "I never expected that we would actually end our own way of life."

The deafening bell rang, like a bronze bell waking up a sleeping giant. The whole city began to shake, and this super machine city was activated.

The broken line of the survival rope floats upward, like a broken kite string. The string can be retracted, but the kite will only fall from the air, and the bracket will fall to pieces, tearing the colorful kite skin into pieces.

The snakes left on the shore were moving away from him. All the snakes were trying to escape frantically, and their great fear was forcing them to flee from their masters.

Ye Sheng hugged his head, gritted his teeth, and held on to every snake.

The egg wall is made up of individual metal plates. After the sculpture is smashed, these metal plates are turned over, and countless half-sculptures with snake faces and human bodies appear. They move, holding high the tooth wats in their hands, and the slender snake necks bend,

Looking up at the dome of the Dome, a pilgrimage ceremony was held.

The clear and calm water swayed violently. Shutoku Aki retrieved the brass can, but Ye Sheng, who had a splitting headache, seemed like a small boat in a storm, being shaken by the rapid current.

Shuudoku Aki shot towards Ye Sheng like a dolphin. She released her high-pressure oxygen bottle and used it as a boost to sprint towards Ye Sheng.

Jiudoku Aki's hands let go of the brass jar, and instead hugged Ye Sheng's waist tightly.

"First... go out, I can use the snake... to contact the ship..." Ye Sheng hung the brass jar on his waist with a lock, and the two of them had a tacit understanding.

The gas in the high-pressure oxygen cylinder has not yet been released, and Shutoku Aki and Ye Sheng are closely attached to each other. Ye Sheng's limbs are weak and he is concentrating on controlling the snake. He trusts the girl beside him without reservation.

The girl didn't say a word, but showed her determination with actions.

I will hold you tight, Shutoku Aki whispered in his heart.

They swam to shore, but the girl's oxygen tank was depleted and she had to remove her mask.

There is a blocked, coppery, turbid smell in the air, which makes people feel stuffy. It feels like a block of iron in the nose when inhaled, but fortunately, there is no abnormal reaction.

The two of them grabbed the survival rope and ran outside. As soon as they took a step, a huge bronze door closed the entrance to the dome.

The snakes finally calmed down and no longer struggled to break free, but this did not mean that the situation had improved.

Because all the modules in the Bronze City are moving, it has become a moving maze, trapping outsiders in endlessly changing mechanisms.

The echo of bells, the sound of gears biting, the obscure sound of metal friction... Various sounds resounded through the Bronze City, like a noisy market, but Ye Shengduo hoped that this ancient city could be as dead as before.
