The journey of a heroine starting from the Dragon Clan

"...This is not a living spirit."

Seemingly seeing what Lu Mingfei's eyes were expressing, Mu Qingzhi rolled her eyes and simply pulled off the Na ring she was wearing on her chest.

"This is an equipment characteristic. Do you know what equipment characteristics are? Do you think I want it to just na na na? What look is... Wait, do you really think that I have sealed someone's soul in Inside, right?”

——Looking at Lu Mingfei in front of her, Mu Qingzhi looked suspicious.

"Well……"

After coughing a few times, Lu Mingfei looked away with a guilty conscience. As if to change the subject, he stretched out his hand to touch the bronze wall and asked.

"Then what... Speaking of which, is this lively uncle still alive?"

"Dead, 'living spirit' is just an alchemical definition, his consciousness is dead."

Taking his eyes away from the [Na Ring] that Mu Qingzhi put on his chest again, Nono opened his mouth to explain.

"Strictly speaking, a living spirit is like a..."

"...No, I'm pretty sure he's alive."

Interrupting Nono's words and staring at the ferocious face in front of him, Lu Mingfei exhaled slightly in his mouth.

"He's biting me now, and he's biting me so hard that I can't get away."

"...bite you?"

Frowning slightly, Chu Zihang, who was busy with his hands, raised his head.

The vacuum tube he carries contains a milliliter of blood with the 'key'. Apply the blood on the lips of the 'living spirit', and the high-purity dragon blood will open the way to the Bronze City for them.

But before the blood was drawn out from his side, an accident happened on Lu Mingfei's side. From his point of view, Lu Mingfei's left hand was indeed stuck between the teeth of the living spirit, which was like a dagger. His teeth continued to close together, and it was not that the other party's hand was stuck as he imagined.

...But according to the definition of alchemy, this living creature is just a keyhole. But how can a keyhole bite?

"Don't move, I'll help you pull it out."

Quickly retracting the vacuum tube to his lower back, Chu Zihang reached out and held Lu Mingfei's shoulder.

"It might hurt a little later, just bear with it a little bit."

During this delay, Lu Mingfei's diving suit was already damaged. Although due to the absolute adaptability brought by Suspicion, they can survive underwater without a diving suit, they can take precautions before they happen. Diving Taking good care of yourself is also a psychological safeguard.

"Wait, wait, wait! Brother, please be merciful, but the other party let go!!"

Seeing Chu Zihang's attitude of pulling out his hand even if he broke his wrist, his eyelids twitched slightly, and Lu Mingfei spoke quickly.

The next moment, he successfully pulled his hand out from under the living mouth.

But compared with before, the diving suit gloves that could withstand certain cuts by knives were damaged. There was a wound of about one centimeter on his finger, and the leached blood quickly blended into the surrounding water.

"What the hell, why is this ghost still biting people?"

Looking at the small injury on his hand, he breathed a sigh of relief, flicked his wrist, and Lu Mingfei started to complain.

"The force exerted by the spirit just now gave me the feeling as if it wanted to bite off my entire hand."

"...I think it may be because you are Tang Monk."

"Tang Monk?"

Turning his head, Lu Mingfei looked at the girl beside him.

"Here, see for yourself."

Stretching out his hand, Mu Qingzhi pointed forward.

After receiving Lu Mingfei's blood, the living creature opened its mouth wide, and it was getting bigger and bigger as time went by. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would have dared to believe that "someone" could open his mouth so wide. Except he has no jaws and the structure of his mouth is similar to that of a giant snake that can swallow an elephant.

When Lu Mingfei turned his head, what he saw was a big black mouth facing them, looking as if he was going to...eat them.

The next moment, a terrifying suction force came from the mouth, and the raging water was like a whirlpool, sucking them into it. At this moment, Lu Mingfei felt like he was stuffed into a toilet...

When his vision went dark and he was about to lose consciousness, he didn't know where he got the courage. Subconsciously, Lu Mingfei reached out and grabbed the wrist of the girl next to him.

Mu Qingzhi: "???"

Originally, she had the ability to get rid of this undercurrent, and then she was allowed to act alone. However, because of Lu Mingfei's sudden move, she was dragged in by the other party...

——At this moment, Mu Qingzhi suddenly wanted to curse.

……………………………………………

When everyone opened their eyes again, they found that they had arrived in a metal corridor, with a closed bronze wall behind them.

"Are we dead?"

Lu Mingfei sat up from the ground in a daze and looked around.

The surrounding area was filled with mist, and there was a bit of golden light mixed in the whiteness. It made him feel as if he had arrived in heaven.

"Yes, you are dead. Congratulations on coming to hell."

Standing aside with her arms folded, Mu Qingzhi was quite annoyed.

——She never figured it out. There was such a huge gap between her and Nono, with different heights and hair colors, so how could the other party recognize the wrong person.

"Well……"

He reached out to touch his head and coughed a few times. Lu Mingfei stood up from the ground smoothly. It was also at this time that he realized that his swan goose seemed not to be beside him, but was being lifted up by Chu Zi. among sailors.

There was air in the tunnel, but there was no light. Since the spotlight on the diving suit was limited, he simply used his knife to illuminate it.

...One of the characteristics of [Hongyan] is that in a dark environment, the blade will emit golden light.

"Where do we go next?"

Some didn't dare to look at the girl next to them, so they took [Hongyan] from their senior brother's hand, and Lu Mingfei asked.

They were standing in knee-deep water, with the wall behind them and the long metal corridor in front of them. Compared with the outside world, the situation inside the Bronze City was obviously more stuffy. The mist accumulated in the corridor, and the whole The corridor is like a large sauna, with poor visibility.

On both sides of the corridor, there are countless bronze sculptures standing. These sculptures are all people wearing ancient clothes. They look like officials or generals, holding tooth wats in their hands.

Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo took a look curiously, and then were startled.

Different from ordinary sculptures, what protrudes from the collars of the robes and armors of these sculptures are all slender snake necks, and the heads of these officials are also cobra-like snake heads, and some snake heads have funny shapes on their heads. Wearing a hat.

These sculptures bow slightly towards the center of the corridor, leaning forward as if to salute, giving them the look of a reading snake.

"...Road to the Temple."

Looking at the snake-faced statues on both sides, Chu Zihang's expression changed slightly.

"In "The Fragment of Ice Sea", there are records about this road. In the era when the Dragon Clan was prosperous, the ancients, as subjects, had to go to see the Dragon King and had to pass through this temple road. In the bronze palaces of Northern Europe, there are A road exactly like this one. The snake-faced sculptures on both sides represent the metal elements controlled by the Dragon King. According to the alchemical element table, there are 88 types in total."

"So we're moving forward?"

Raising his head, Lu Mingfei raised his knife and looked forward.

But due to the obstruction of the fog, even if it is illuminated by [Swan Geese], it cannot be seen very far at all, and can only see a chaos with golden light.

...shadowy.
