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

Seventeen meters? Eighteen meters?

Lin Nian swam to the snake-man statue and assessed some of its details.

This well-dressed snake-man statue should be about 20 meters high by visual inspection. It is made of pure bronze. It is not carved on the rock wall like the Leshan Giant Buddha. There are no traces of digging on the whole. It is conceivable that the flowing bronze was instantly cut by the Dragon King. The power solidified, and after cooling, the patterns on it and the expression of the statue became natural.

"Does this mean that the Dragon King can control static high temperatures and at the same time reduce the temperature to extremely low levels?" Lin Nian speculated on the specific control power of the Dragon King. After learning about the mission of Baidi City, he studied a lot of relevant information. In Dragon King Norton's classics, the fighting method of speaking spirit must be the most important information.

The lower spirit of "Zhulong" is "Junyan", and there happens to be a student with "Junyan" in the college, and Lin Nian has a very good relationship with him. For him, Junyan is He was violent when he released it. He couldn't really control Jun Yan. Releasing Yan Ling was like lighting a firecracker. He couldn't control the power of the firecracker and could only guarantee the direction in which the firecracker was thrown.

The melting point of bronze is about 800°C. According to the test by the researcher, the temperature of Chu Zihang's Yanling is only about 500°C (the first degree of violent blood is 800°C, the second degree of violent blood is 8000°C, and the third degree of violent blood is 10000°C. For the limit of Junyan), Lin Nian asked privately that Chu Zihang had not used Junyan before in the violent state and did not know whether the temperature would rise due to this, but at least Junyan under normal conditions could not melt bronze.

Lin Nian looked at this natural snake-man statue and felt a little cold in his heart. Heat will be lost due to the transfer process. How high is the temperature required to cast an entire Baidi City? 10000℃ or 100000℃? How did Norton achieve the extreme high temperature that Jun Yan could not reach?

Static heated candle dragon?

Could it be that the Dragon King Norton in his heyday could control the static heating of the "Candle Dragon"?

This thought simply makes people feel a chill in their tailbones. Could it be that in the oldest legend of alchemy, turning stone into gold relies on extreme high temperatures and the control of metal elements? After all, there is a saying in the scientific community that lead can be turned into gold in nuclear fusion. Could it be that the "Midas that turns stone into gold" at the beginning of alchemy was actually Norton's accidental attempt to use the power of the spirit of speech to transform lead into gold?

The conjecture of "King of Radiation and Fission" cannot be true, right? Norton relied on the discovery of fusion and fission to discover the microscopic universe, thus deriving the alchemical system. Is this Dragon King Norton an ancient physicist?

He stepped on the head of the giant snake-man statue. Lin Nian took a breath and got rid of the thought of scaring himself. If the facts were as he suspected, this bronze city was built by Dragon King Norton with the name of "Candle Dragon". "It was cast by static heating, so it should be no problem for the Dragon King in its heyday to evaporate a large section of the Yangtze River in an instant, right?

How about some woolen yarn? Whether it is "time zero" or "moment", the faster you accelerate to approach the opponent, the faster you die. In the face of such an absolute range of blows, the speed-type word spirit users appear so powerless. This ability No matter how fast the Flash is, he can't break Superman's defenses. (Except for the DC Zombie Universe hitting the ribs at high speed to break the super defense, I feel like they were all killed for the plot)

Now was not the time to think about this. Lin Nian continued to look for the location of the Dragon King's "study". The direction that Si Nan was pointing in had not changed. Lin Nian turned around and it was also pointing here, which meant that the thing was not broken, but it was pointing to the south. There is only one big statue without any secret door?

"Behind, where is the back?" Lin Nian looked behind the snake-man statue. The bronze wall was completely integrated without any splicing.

Maybe there is, but Lin Nian just can't find it. If there weren't any living things outside the bronze wall, who would be able to find the hole leading to the inside? This alchemy technology has reached a unique level. If Norton doesn't want people to find it, you really can't find anything like a keyhole.

Now Lin Nian was a little depressed that his speech spirit was not a "snake" or a "scythe weasel". In this case, he could only look for it blindly, let alone use the "moment" to speed up his speed. The faster the speed, the more it would be consumed. The more oxygen there is, and the stamina is lost for no reason, which is really troublesome if you encounter enemies.

After two rounds of searching, Lin Nian couldn't find anything similar to a door near the statue. He looked at the location of the lake below. He didn't know if Ye Sheng and Ya Ji had found the Dragon King's palace. There should be no movement coming up yet. They discovered something. After all, the two of them had Jiang Peijiu as a living library to guide them, so they could always find something.

But if he wanted to find the Dragon King's study, he would be out of luck just by relying on him as a wanderer. If the blond girl was still here, it might be easier, but since that night, the girl has disappeared again. Not useful at critical moments.

Being irritated and complaining was not an option. Lin Nian stood on top of the statue and looked down at this temple-like place. The Monyach was not yet more than 500 meters away from him, but it was already close to the edge. Now we have to Go back? If you want, you can return to the ship anytime and anywhere by activating "Floating Life".

He took a look at the cylinder that still had enough for one hour of activity, and decided to look for it again.

—

"Monyach, we have reached the end." Ye Sheng said, "We saw a large number of skeletons, which should be left by our predecessors."

The image was displayed on the map of the captain's cabin of the Monyach, and everyone took a slight breath.

After diving into the lake, the bottom illuminated by the searchlight was full of white bones. The density was so dense that one suspected that it was deep enough to submerge a person entirely. It could be distinguished from the teeth and bones that these were human skeletons, thousands of them. Thousands of people died here, and their bones have been deposited for thousands of years.

"Sacrifice?" Mance thought of the statues on the top of the lake. If it was a temple, then it would be reasonable for this lake to be an altar. The Dragon King's blood sacrifice to humans is also a historical event that sounds very reasonable.

"Look at some of the armor pieces accumulated in the bones. They are 'Jia Zha'. They are tied up with hemp ropes to form armor. This kind of armor was also called 'Xuan Jia' at that time. It was red all over and equipped with a 'ring-headed iron knife'. These are all officially established officers and soldiers who died here collectively for some reason." Jiang Peijiu looked at the sea of ​​bones close to the screen and whispered, "Do they want to attack the Dragon King?"

"Fighting the Dragon King with cold weapons and iron armor? Isn't it a bit fanciful?" Thelma gasped slightly as if she saw the fierce battle scene of those roaring soldiers in the Bronze City, her voice was slightly trembling.

"It's not necessarily whimsical. Even now, many hybrids are committed to using cold weapons in battles with dragons. When hot weapons cannot cause effective damage to dragons, the only thing we can rely on is alchemy swords. In the Han Dynasty, , and in the earlier years, there was a prosperous age of alchemy swords. At that time, the usage rate of alchemy swords by hybrids was higher than ours now." Jiang Peijiu shook his head and his eyes shone slightly.

"This group of officers and soldiers can penetrate all the way into the depths of Baidi City and fight all the way to the temple. This is the best explanation. There must have been extremely strong individual existences during the Han Dynasty! Emperor Guangwu's twenty-eight Yuntai of the Eastern Han Dynasty Each of them is a famous hybrid. If the dragon slaying this time was the intention of Emperor Guangwu, then the last nirvana of the King of Bronze and Fire may really be because he died in that era! The emperor at that time really knew The Dragon King exists, and he dares to attack the Dragon King!"

"Could ancient humans really use their flesh and blood to fight against the Dragon King in its heyday?" Thelma was a little horrified.

"The earlier the period, the closer it is to the Dragon Era, and the bloodline of hybrids is generally more pure. Dozens of hybrids like Principal Angers are attacking the Dragon King Temple together. It is not certain who will win and who will lose. Yeah." Jiang Peijiu explained,

"And it was Emperor Guangwu who attacked Gongsun Shu. The identity of Emperor Guangwu in history is worth pondering. Gongsun Shu, who was supported by the King of Bronze and Fire, was defeated at his hands. According to historical records, Gongsun Shu was Two assassins were sent to assassinate Emperor Guangwu's generals, and they both succeeded. On the contrary, they failed when they assassinated Emperor Guangwu himself. Is it because Emperor Guangwu was blessed with good fortune, or does he have someone behind him who is no less powerful than Gongsun Shu? What if? If it is the latter, then the backer who is not weaker than the King of Bronze and Fire is probably another Dragon King, right? It is a pity that we have not thoroughly studied the relationship between the four monarchs, and there is no relevant record in the historical text."

"Let's stop here for the history lesson first." Mance looked at Selma who was covered in goosebumps and shook his head. "The fact that the ancient officers and soldiers found this place naturally means that the Dragon King's palace is nearby. We have to find a way to find it. At the entrance, Ye Sheng and Yaji's gas cylinders have been consumed more than half."

"Professor, there are unnatural cracks on these bronze walls! It's like the marks of a sharp weapon!" Aki Shude made a new discovery in the public channel. The screen switched to her camera perspective, and there were cracks on the bronze walls at the bottom of the lake. The marks left by knives and axes have not been worn much even after thousands of years have passed.

"Are they trying to destroy the palace?" Mance frowned, "With the weapons they had at the time, it was impossible to destroy the structure of the Bronze City, right?"

"No, they are not sabotaging, they want to break open the bronze and find the secret room hidden behind the wall!" Ye Sheng said, "Aki, come here and lend a hand, help me move this bone away."

"Ye Sheng, what did you find?" Mance cheered up.

"The passage is a suspected passage." Ye Sheng said excitedly while carrying the bones, "The slash marks on the wall continue to here. They used swords to test the openness in various places, and finally found the right place along the way. That’s what brought death!”

"Then our current actions will also bring death to us?" Yaji said suddenly, and Ye Sheng, who was carrying the bones, paused for a moment.

"No, the officers and soldiers were killed because they knocked on the door at the wrong time. There happens to be an angry Dragon King in the palace. Now you are just knocking on the door of 'Dragon Baby' or even 'Dragon Egg'. Dragon Egg will not get angry. I will release the spirit of words and turn you into skeletons." Jiang Peijiu comforted.

After the bones were completely transported, the appearance of the bronze floor finally emerged. It was actually a 'door', but it was just built on the ground. It looked so weird that it gave the illusion of an inverted space.

"The door leading to the Dragon King's palace." Mance took a breath and leaned back, his eyes fixed on the bronze door on the screen.

"We found you, Your Highness Norton!" Jiang Peijiu said softly, staring at the pattern on the door that resembled a snake entwining a turbofan.
