If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

Rose-red blood spreads in the river. If it were a normal river, such a drop of blood would be enough to attract enough aquatic fish to form a spectacle like "Koi Gathering Happiness" at the bottom of the river, but now they are In the deep water below the 40-meter rock formation, all the fish in the river section above 40 meters were frightened away by the noise made by the drilling machine. Otherwise, it is true that there would not be any fish that smelled the fish and penetrated. The forty-meter-deep borehole was robbing blood.

The blond girl once mentioned the abnormal phenomenon occurring in Lin Nian's blood. Rather than describing it as "throwback to the ancestors", which is a curse for cavemen, the blond girl is more willing to call this phenomenon a "low-level memetic effect", using visual and The sense of smell, as a touch-borne meme, is a fatal temptation for anyone infected by the meme.

Once Lin Nian's bloodline changes further, this "low-level memetic effect" will even be derived to plant seeds in the mind of any infected carrier. Even if he does not see or smell the blood containing the memetic effect, as long as he associates it with Or when seeing Lin Nian, the host himself, the meme will break out and influence the spirit to desperately want to obtain and possess the rose-red and enchanting blood, which manifests itself in the form of rational but uncontrollable attacks.

This is why the blond girl helps Lin Nian curb the blood abnormality. This phenomenon is tantamount to giving the opponent a violent BUFF in battle. Although swallowing blood will cause damage, if the enemy is a dragon or Did Deadpool survive the erosion of blood? Will this blood bring them evolution? No one can tell.

A minute passed.

The red satin that bloomed like silk in the river dissolved and precipitated, becoming increasingly difficult to visually capture. Ye Sheng and others were less affected. The moment they saw the blood, Thelma in the Monyach They even nervously asked them through the public channel if they had encountered something that caused the abnormal increase in heart rate.

"Nothing happened. There are no living creatures in the Bronze City." Mance looked at the dark hole and whispered.

The Bronze City was so quiet that no roars or vibrations were heard. Everyone in the dust-free land kept silent and held their breath. The entire dark environment was so silent that one could hear the blood in the blood vessels flowing under the cerebral cortex. the sound of.

If there really were deadpools or dragons, they would have rushed out long ago when faced with this kind of temptation. Although dragons have high IQs, most of them are restless and intolerable. This is also what humans have been able to do in the history of struggle. The reason for victory is that if there is really a living Deadpool and dragons in the Bronze City, it is impossible for them to be as unresponsive as they are now.

"The environment in Bronze City is complex like a maze. Is it possible that they got lost? Can't find a way out for a while?" Selma asked in the public channel, through which she controlled the underwater situation.

"Would you get lost in your own home? Even though the Bronze City is a huge maze, it is also the home of the dragons inside. They have lived here for hundreds of thousands of years. How could it be possible for them to get lost?" Mance objected. This possibility.

"Then it looks like the mission went smoothly. It's really reassuring to know that there are no living enemies inside." Ye Sheng cheered up and twisted his neck to take a deep breath.

"You have two hours from now on. The human sleep cycle is two hours, and the same is true for the 'living spirit'. Most of the doors that are injected with the 'living spirit' start at two hours. Once you wait, When he has finished yawning, this door will be closed forever, unless the 'key' opens the door for you again." Mance and Lin Nian took off the backup gas bottles prepared behind their backs and gave them to the two of them in the realm of Dustless Land. After replacing it, two cameras were specially installed on the foreheads of the two people.

Because it was in the air, the equipment was replaced very quickly. After making all preparations, Mansi handed over a black box and placed it in Ye Sheng's hand, "Mercury alchemy bomb, when it explodes, it will be very serious for dragons." The poisonous mercury substance will gradually contaminate the water area with a diameter of one kilometer at the center of the explosion circle within half an hour. The escape time for the initial timed detonation is ten minutes. You have enough time to evacuate before the water quality is completely contaminated."

"If you can't bring out the dragon king's 'cocoon', then destroy it. Although it is a pity, it is better than letting a dragon king actually hatch." Mansi patted Ye Sheng's shoulder to release the spirit, and the river surged. Squeezing around them again.

Ye Sheng looked at Mance and Lin Nian who were completing the task and began to swim back to escape from the water and said, "Promise to complete the task, Professor."

"Call me captain." Mance gave a thumbs up without looking back. Lin Nian beside him looked back at the two people swimming towards the ferocious black hole. He did nothing and turned to talk to Mance. Together they gradually disappeared into the darkness of the water that was impenetrable to searchlights.

After taking off the weights on their bodies, the speed of floating up from the water was much faster than diving. At twice the speed when they came, Mance and Lin Nian swam out of the water following the light that hit the bottom of the water, and climbed onto the side of the ship. At that time, a hand reached out early to give Mance a hand. It was Thelma who had been waiting for a long time.

"They have entered the Bronze Palace." Thelma still wanted to pull Lin Nian away, but seeing the opponent's hand turn over as soon as he stretched it out, she could only give up and take back her outstretched hand.

"Is the camera working properly?" Mance dragged his diving suit and threw it casually on the deck, while running quickly towards the captain's cabin in the forward cabin. His whole person was in a state of excitement. The plan so far was so smooth that it was amazing. Believe it or not, they are only one maze away from Norton's "cocoon".

Thelma looked at Lin Nian who had not taken off his diving suit on the deck. If there was an accident underwater, he would probably have to be handed over to this boy for rescue. Wearing this diving suit beforehand would also save a lot of time. But now it seems that in the Bronze City There was dead silence. Unless the diving team got lost due to a broken pulling line for some reason, this back-up trick would probably be useless.

Mance rushed into the captain's room. The first mate in front of the console stood up to salute and wanted to hand over the captain's hat, but was ignored. Seeing this energetic old man, he quickly moved to the screen that Jiang Peijiu was staring at, lowering his head and staring closely. Looking at the situation inside, "What's going on now?"

"They successfully entered the Bronze City." Jiang Peijiu said, but her eyes never moved from the screen.

The camera on Ye Sheng's head on the screen was working well. The captured images were transmitted back through the signal line. What was now shown on the screen was a huge bronze disk looking up, with a diameter of about fifteen to twenty meters, hanging on a bronze On the wall, the edges are full of regular protrusions, which bite into another huge bronze disk next to it to form a strange and spectacular painting. "

"This is..." Mance took a breath.

"Gears, but I have never seen such a big gear." Ye Sheng's voice came out from the public channel. He and Yaji had entered the Bronze City. The first thing they saw was such a complex and magnificent wall, one after another. A disc is interlocked and spliced ​​and hung motionless on the wall. Looking up, there is a shocking beauty brought about by the precision movement of a diving watch magnified thousands of times.

"If the test props of Magic Mechanical Design can also have this specification, I won't deduct points for losing parts." Ye Sheng was still telling a joke even in this situation, and Man Si did not criticize it for being inappropriate. , everyone can imagine the shock and fear of Ye Sheng and Yaji under this magnificent scene. They always need some adjustments to neutralize their suppressed emotions.

"The King of Bronze and Fire is indeed the unquestionable pinnacle of alchemy. Even if the Black King comes, he may not be able to do better, right?" Mance whispered.

"There is a saying that when the black emperor Nidhogg gave birth to the four great monarchs as heirs, his own power was inevitably separated from his own body, just like the vampire in the myth that differentiated the essence and blood during the first embrace, and it is precisely because of this. The partial stripping of power caused the invincible Black King to fall into an unprecedented period of weakness, leading to the betrayal that resounded throughout the world." Jiang Peijiu stared at the screen and said, "The Black King fell into eternal sleep, which represents the power of alchemy. All the kings were given bronze and fire, and for the next thousand years this Dragon King would be the undoubted pinnacle of alchemical technology."

"This Bronze City is his palace, and there must be many alchemical mechanisms in it that we can't imagine. Ye Shengyaji, be careful, be careful. If it is not necessary, try not to touch any walls or objects in the Bronze City. Any unnecessary work you do may trigger unimaginable terrible traps." Jiang Peijiu warned coldly while holding the microphone.

"Yes, received. If it is not necessary, the Bronze City where we will not land is almost filled with water. We can swim all the way to the palace." Ye Sheng looked up and looked at the top of the wall covered with gears, where he could see the "water surface" , which means that some air remained when the city was submerged, which is why vortices are formed after drilling through the rock formations.

"According to the layout of the palaces at the end of the Western Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, you should not have reached the 'front palace' yet. If you continue to explore forward, the location of the palace will generally be behind the 'main palace'. You will probably need to penetrate the entire Dragon King's palace. "Jiang Peijiu said.

"Will the Dragon King also design his palace according to human habits?" Aki asked.

"Why are you so confident that this is a human habit?" Jiang Peijiu sighed, "The Baidi City was built by Gongsun Shu under the instructions of Norton. In other words, if this city was excavated and cast from the mountains, then every step must go through Norton's hand, otherwise the human power at that time would not have been able to plan out the details of making a giant mold."

"We should have arrived at the so-called 'front hall'." Ye Sheng said suddenly.

A horrifying scene appeared on the screen. It was a wide and long space. It was shocking at first glance. If there was air roaring here, there would definitely be the highest quality echo. But even if the conditions here are right, Ye Sheng He Yaji probably didn't dare to pronounce a syllable, because there are tomb guards here.

Row after row of bronze snake men stood on both sides of the broad palace, forming a "road". They seemed to be watching something with their heads lowered and holding rotten spears in their hands, which had been damaged by the wear and tear of time and water. The faces whose faces cannot be seen clearly make people feel that they have never had such a thing as a "face". The silence is so solemn that it makes people feel uneasy and frightened.

"What are these things?" Yaji swam downstream, swam to the top of the avenue and looked down at the bronze snake statues from a distance. With Jiang Peijiu's warning, she and Ye Sheng would not approach them easily.

"Totem of the dragon clan? Or just a simple decoration. But at least they didn't move because of our arrival. If it were thousands of years ago, they might have taken the initiative to raise their spears to fight against the intruders, but now it's twenty-one Century, even if they want to move, their old arms and legs probably won't allow them." Ye Sheng said, looking down at the scene.

"This is how Norton walked along this road before, right?" Yaji followed Ye Sheng and swam forward while looking down at the strange but solemn front hall.

"It's so lonely. The only thing that greets him in such a huge palace is rows of his own bronze creations." Ye Sheng said.

"Ye Sheng, look up, I seem to see something important from your camera." Jiang Peijiu's voice sounded in Ye Sheng's headset.

Ye Sheng looked up after hearing the order, and immediately saw the ancient patterns on the dome outside the water on the top of the palace, like the complex and mysterious decorative patterns on Gothic and Baroque-style buildings. The overall look was huge, beautiful, and dense. But it's not messy, but you can find some patterns in it.

Just when Ye Sheng and Ya Ji had some visions, a shout suddenly sounded in the headset, "Close your eyes. This is Long Wen! Now don't resonate and produce psychic vision during the mission!"

Jiang Peijiu's loud shout made Ye Sheng and Ya Ji feel a chill in their backs. They lowered their heads and looked away as if a basin of cold water was poured on their minds. Long Wen? If these are dragon texts, it would be a huge discovery. No one has discovered so many and complex dragon texts since the alchemist Nicholas Flamel. This is also brand-new knowledge for them. , once you try to interpret it, you will inevitably have a spiritual vision!

This phenomenon has its advantages and disadvantages. It may help them understand the secrets of the dragon clan, but the process of interpretation must not be done now. They are in the palace of the Dragon King. Once the spiritual vision occurs, they make unusual moves and touches. That would be a fatal mistake for the alchemy mechanism!

"Don't focus your eyes, let the camera take a detailed picture of the dome and keep the record." Jiang Peijiu looked at the dome on the screen and said in a deep voice, "The words that can appear in the palace of the King of Bronze and Fire must be important, whether in European and American mythology or Or in the history of the East, the 'message' left on the palace dome will inevitably eulogize the glorious history of the palace owner, just like Odin, the Lord of the Gods in the Nordic pantheon, will draw his honor of unifying the nine realms on the dome of the divine city. Same!"

Ye Sheng and Yaji immediately followed the instructions. They were thankful that there was a master of the dragon's cave on the ship. At the same time, they took a complete picture of the dome. Nemans on the Monyach was both frightened and uncontrollably excited. , the historical text about the Lord of Bronze and Fire? What today's mixed-bloods lack is the knowledge that can reveal the dragon culture, and alchemy knowledge is secondary. Now they have gained such a huge harvest before they actually enter the palace. This dive is expected to be included in the mixed-race knowledge. The annals of history!

"It's just the front hall now. The layout of the Bronze City is not much different from that of most ancient buildings. Now you are still in the 'outer court' area. Through here, you can come into contact with the 'inner court' where the palace owner lives. If No surprise, the Dragon King's 'cocoon' should be hidden there." Jiang Peijiu said.

Ye Sheng and Yaji took a deep breath after receiving the report and continued to move forward. They had survived a near miss before actually entering the palace, but this strengthened their confidence. Jiang Shang had enough background and manpower to allow them to This exploration is invincible.

"These documents were immediately transmitted back to the college through Norma, and the professor was asked to organize research and gather students with outstanding pedigrees to try to see if they could induce spiritual vision to decipher the contents." Mance lowered his head and quickly processed the video files sent back from the water. He quickly ordered Selma without replying, and his mental state was extremely high.

"Yes, Captain." Thelma responded equally excitedly, but suddenly, she seemed to remember something, "Excellent bloodline? If you want spiritual vision, why not let me."

Thelma looked back as if remembering something. But she saw nothing except the first mate and Jiang Peijiu.

Only then did she remember that someone, an important person, had been missing from the process of deciphering the Bronze City from just now.

ps: Ye Sheng and Ya Ji were supposed to have a vision accident, and Jiang Peijiu was a butterfly.
