The beam of the flashlight came down from the top. Mance, who was in the diving suit, did not speak. Instead, he knocked on his helmet's visor to show his respect and spat out a string of bubbles. He looked like a woman who was nine months pregnant. The special diving suit had a hard transparent bag in front of him, and inside it was a baby wearing an ultra-small diving suit. At a depth of 150 meters, the baby did not cry or even show any fear. He slowly turned his head around, his pupils flowing with a faint golden light.
"Withdraw the water jet cutter. Prepare yourselves, Aki Yasheng. We are about to open the door.”Mance ordered.
The four water shears rose up. Ye Sheng and Yaji floated behind Mance, each placing a hand on his shoulder. Mance crossed his hands in front of his chest and patted the hands of his proudest students.
Mance closed his eyes, reached out his hand, and spoke in a low voice. He turned off the walkie-talkie, but the majestic voice that sounded like singing and roaring directly penetrated the depths of Ye Sheng and Yaji's minds. Mance's eyes snapped open. He did something that would scare the heart of an ordinary diver. He opened the mask of his pressure diving suit 150 meters underwater. The result was that the huge water pressure would directly act on his fragile human body. Every bubble in his lungs would fight to escape, and these bubbles would burst his blood vessels!
Mance's voice reverberated in the water. He had completed the last part of the spell.
Spirit of Words, Untainted Land.
The water surrounding Mance started to spin, and a transparent water shell rapidly expanded outward from his forehead. The water under high pressure was repelled by some force, forming a violently rotating vortex. The elegant oxygen leaking from Mance's oxygen tank filled the space in the bubble. The vortex spun around them at high speed, and they stood in the air! Miyabi lost her footing and lost the buoyancy of the water. The moment she fell, Ye Sheng grabbed her wrist and pulled out the alloy knife in front of her chest with his other hand, inserting it into the marks left by the water cutter.
"Damn it…He had never used this Spirit of Words underwater before, so he had neglected it.”Mance had the same reaction as Ye Sheng.
At this moment, the violently rotating water surrounded them. In the spherical space with a diameter of several meters, the water was forcibly pushed away, as if a new wind blew over the surface of the bronze wall. Large pieces of bronze rust were peeled off, leaving behind a smooth and dust-free metal surface that was suffused with a green-black glimmer. This time, the picture on the wall was clearly revealed. It was a protruding human face with burning firewood in its mouth. It was a strange picture. The face was twisted in pain, but it refused to let go of the firewood.
"Oh, baby, I'll leave the rest to you.”Mance carefully held the baby with his steel claws and took it out of the abdominal cavity of the diving suit.
Manspin held out a hand as large as a plate, and the baby curled up in his palm. The golden-eyed baby was silent for a long time. There was only the sound of the water vortex spinning at high speed. The baby bent down hard, stood up, and stood on Mance's palm. He looked to be only a few months old. He had a pacifer in his mouth and was wearing a one-piece baby suit with the size of a cow printed on it. There was only a few sparse lanugo on his head. He stood on Mance's palm with his back straight, looking as solemn as a priest. He looked at the face and slowly reached out his chubby little hand. He pointed at the forehead of the face with one finger.
The bronze bulge between her eyebrows cut the baby's delicate fingers, and blood flooded her painful face. For a moment, Aki had the illusion that her face was relieved of a heavy burden.。。Ye Sheng reached out his hand and caught the pacify that fell from the baby's mouth. A deep voice that sounded like a giant bell came out of the child's mouth, and the bronze wall faintly resonated.
The baby's blood seemed to be sucked into the face's mouth, but the baby stood there with the indifference of a martyr. There was no painful expression of blood loss. He bent down slightly, as if he was going to kiss the mouth of the bronze face. Mance suddenly hugged his waist and forcefully stopped this horrifying behavior. He took out a hemostatic bandage from his waterproof box and carefully wrapped it around the baby's little finger. He patted his face." Key, you're amazing."”
After the bronze face absorbed all the blood, it was silent for a moment before slowly opening its mouth as if it was yawning. The sound of metal cracking could be heard from the depths of the bronze wall. A pitch-black hole with a diameter of about one meter appeared on the bronze wall. The teeth of the bronze face were everywhere. They were definitely not human teeth. They were as sharp as daggers.
"Oh my god!" Ye Sheng whispered.
" The great achievement of alchemy, using the purest substance to contain the spirit, and then acting as the guard here." Mance carefully stroked the face." This is a living spirit. The spirit of the key is ordering him to open the door. The blood will satisfy him temporarily. You have about an hour.”
"Roughly?" Yaji said," If it's to explore the moon, can you say that there's about an hour before we land on the moon? This is even more dangerous than the moon!"
" Then let's save a minute for discussion," Ye Sheng said." Professor Rundstedt, remove the spirit of the Undusty Land. We can enter after the passage is filled with water."”
The baby's golden eyes faded. He raised his bandaged finger in front of him and looked at it in surprise. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and cried loudly. His cries were as loud as thunder. He was as sad as he could be.
"Oh, oh, oh. Don't cry, don't cry. It's been hard on you, baby.。。”Mance gave a helpless father's expression and put the baby back into the empty warehouse that looked like a kangaroo baby bag.
" One hour." Mance looked into Ye Sheng's eyes and raised a finger." It hasn't reached the awakening period yet, but if you can't obtain the skeleton, destroy it directly."”He handed over a black metal box." You have to stay at least 20 meters away before detonating it.”
Ye Sheng gave him a thumbs up, and Mance put on his helmet again. The Spirit of Words silently dispelled it. The huge air ball instantly shattered into countless bubbles that rapidly rose upwards. The surging water made Ye Sheng and Yaji almost unable to breathe for a moment. As a professor, Mance actually had the agility of a fish. He borrowed strength from the bronze wall and stabbed into the water. At the same time, he activated the water pressure propulsion equipment on his back and left at high speed.
Aki looked up at the figures that gradually disappeared in the distance. Everyone left them again. The darkness returned, and the only light was the flashlight in Ye Sheng's hand. Aji suddenly felt a chill that was enough to destroy a person. It was a chill at the edge of the world.
"Ye Sheng!" She turned around and shouted.
"I'm here." Ye Sheng reached out his hand and shook her hand through the thick gloves. He shone the beam of light on his face and smiled at her.
Mance climbed onto the side of the ship, took off his flippers, peeled off the diving suit that stuck to him like skin, and rushed straight into the command room in the front cabin.
" Life parameters are normal. The oxygen tank can last for another 35 minutes. The signal is clear. They're already deep inside. There are many snake-faced statues and gears there.。。You wouldn't believe it. God, it's just…。。It's too sci-fi!" Saroma pounced forward, her face filled with excitement.
"Is there a map?" Mance said."Put it on the screen.”
A dark green video appeared on the big screen. Under the illumination of the flashlight, layers of ripples were cast on an incredible bronze artifact. It was round and surrounded by a sharp structure like a wolf's fang. It looked like an ancient killing weapon. At first glance, it reminded people that if it was thrown, it would whistle and draw a strange arc, biting the enemy's neck and spinning.
" Incredible craftsmanship." whispered Mance.
The camera zoomed out. It seemed like Ye Sheng was slowly swimming away with the camera on his helmet. At the same time, the camera rose to the surface of the water.
"There's still a lot of air inside, which is good. It'll buy us a lot of time.”said Mance.
"No, the oxygen content in the air is very low. After being sealed for too long, the oxygen has been exhausted by the metal's oxidization.”The first mate said," Their oxygen is still only enough to support 35.。。No, 33 minutes."
The second metal disc appeared in the camera. Its bronze teeth were tightly clenched with the bronze teeth of the first metal disc. Then, there were the third and fourth. Countless metal discs covered a huge bronze wall that was dozens of meters tall. Every metal disc was nailed to the wall by an iron shaft in the center.。。Mance was stunned for a moment and could not help but look down at his wrist. On his wrist was an Omega Ocean Universe coax diving mechanical watch.
"Doesn't it look like a watch movement that has been magnified countless times?”Ye Sheng's voice sounded.
"It's an alchemical machine, although I don't know what it's used for.”Mance said," But according to its complexity, the history of mechanical transmission technology of dragons at that time was far higher than that of humans.”
"This is only one of the sealed caves. The other caves have different mechanical systems and have been rusted for many years.”Ye Sheng said," Is it a mechanism set up by the Bronze King to protect itself?”
"Don't be too naive. This Dragon King's understanding of fire and metal is unparalleled. If he had designed the mechanism himself, it wouldn't have rusted to death.”whispered Mance.
"Captain, the Chinese rescue helicopter has been loaded with medicine and serum. If they come, our operation will be exposed.”The third officer said loudly.
"Ye Sheng! Hurry up and find Dragon King Norton's location. Detonate the underwater bomb. There's not enough time.”Mance ordered.
" Understood. I can sense that the location that Snake is circling around is very close to me.”
Ye Sheng touched the deep-water bomb in the side pocket of his diving suit and turned to Aki." You take photos and take samples of the surroundings here. I'll find the location of the snake. If I'm not wrong, it's in the hole next door. Pay attention to my vital data. If there's a problem, don't worry about me. Evacuate first."”
Aji nodded. Ye Sheng gave him a thumbs up and dived into the water. This magnificent Bronze City was filled with holes. Each hole was connected by a bronze tunnel. After being submerged, most of the tunnels were below the water surface, like an ant nest half-submerged in water.
She raised her head and shone her flashlight upward. Looking up at the hole, the space was as huge as a giant's palace. The dome was engraved with ancient patterns. It was the scattered branches and leaves of a giant tree. The leaves and branches were bent into undecipherable characters.
"Dragon text?" Aki guessed what it was.
She took out the waterproof camera in her pocket, cut the dome into small pieces, and began to take pictures. The data was sent back to the Manaher along the lifeline.
"Make sure to make a backup!" Mance rubbed his hands in surprise. After Nicholas Flamel, this was the first time humans had obtained such a huge amount of Dragon language information. Although it might take decades to decipher, it was better than nothing.
"Understood." said Miyabi as she floated in the water, trying not to shake the camera too much. There was not much time left.
Complicated patterns kept entering her viewing window. The complexity of these patterns was unimaginable. The leaves gathered together like human faces, and when separated, they were indeed ancient characters that had disappeared for many years. They rotated counterclockwise on the dome. Yaji lowered the output pressure of the oxygen tank to extend the time he spent underwater while waiting for Ye Sheng. The oxygen supply had dropped to zero, and she felt a little dizzy. The patterns on the dome were a little blurry in her eyes. She temporarily stopped filming, closed her eyes slightly, shook her head, and took two deep breaths.
