Chapter 41
"I said boss, whether we want to defeat those guys or capture the amethyst, we have to find a way first..." Su Sheng's depressed voice came from the communication channel.
After carefully observing the ring square that was blown into a sea of flames by the scavenger tactics, even Li Jing had to admit that although the opponent was cruel, this tactic was really effective: the sea of flames formed by the explosion completely blocked the traffic behind the ring square. The road to the depths of the dead castle left them with only two options: to wait for the fire to subside in place, or to venture through the flames.
"There are a lot of combustibles in this circular square, plus the secondary explosion after the ammunition depots in the belly of the iron spiders trapped in the sea of fire were ignited. If we wait until the fire becomes smaller, we will pass through this square. That team probably got the amethyst long ago and walked out of the dead castle." Li Jing said while rubbing his chin.
"Then take the risk and try? Although the fire is powerful, our mecha is not that fragile!" Su Sheng asked tentatively.
"Hehe, it's not impossible to break through this sea of flames, but all the ammunition on our bodies must stay here, otherwise we will end up like those iron spiders that were burned to the ammunition depot," Li Jing continued. Said, "What's more, even if the shell of any mecha is resistant to high temperature, walking around in this sea of explosives will cause damage to the performance of the mecha. If you don't meet the enemy, first damage the mecha. If you meet the opponent, do you still want to fight?"
"Wait in place, you will definitely not be able to catch up with the opponent; but if you force your way, you will lose your combat power... The opponent left us with these two options, no matter which one we choose, it will be beneficial to the opponent." Li Jing narrowed his eyes. Eyes, "It seems that the other party means that keeping these scavengers is also a warning to us, asking us to retreat in spite of difficulties..."
"Wait," Mu Yun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Is there a third option?"
"For example... a secret passage that even the other party didn't discover?"
"This is unlikely." Li Jing said, "The team in front is obviously much more familiar with the internal structure of Dead Castle than we are, and they may even have a map of Dead Castle in their hands. There may only be secret passages that we haven't discovered. , it is unlikely that there is a secret passage that the other party does not know about."
"Perhaps before they detonated the bombs on these scavengers, the situation was as you said, but now it may not be..." Mu Yun thought about it, and before Li Jing asked, he first threw out the question he had been asking, " Don't you think this dead castle...is a bit too small?"
Small doesn't sound like an appropriate description for Dead Castle.After all, when Mu Yun and the others first entered the Fortress of Death, they were still shocked by the grand avenue and those towering giant pillars that could accommodate two [-]-ton mechs passing side by side.The main passages in the dead castle are also all designed to a high scale that allows forty-ton special mechs to pass through without any obstacles.
In view of the abundant amethyst energy in the era of mechanical civilization, the tonnage of mechas in that era was also higher than the tonnage of mechas on the mainland today. This kind of towering and tall architectural design also has practical value.Just like the circular square burning into a sea of flames in front of them, it is wide enough to serve as a training ground for forty-ton special mechs.
However, the scale of the Fortress of Death is huge and magnificent for knights like Mu Yun and Li Jing who are driving the most common [-]-ton mecha on the mainland today, and it is comparable to the [-]-ton special mecha in the era of mechanical civilization. The size of the ancient mecha is just right for the tonnage of the mecha, but for the ancient crystal beasts of thousands of tons, the dead castle is indeed too small...
"Indeed, with the scale of the Dead Castle we see now, it doesn't seem like there is a place where crystal beasts can be domesticated..." Li Jing is such a smart person, just as Mu Yun asked, he immediately understood the crux of the problem , said, "What's more, the Donglin Continent does not produce crystal beasts. The crystal beasts domesticated in this dead castle should be transported from other places. But judging from the passageway we entered the dead castle before, its scale is even Young crystal beasts can't pass through either. In other words, there must be another passage that can enter the dead castle, and its size can accommodate crystal beasts to pass through, but we haven't found it yet—”
"In other words, the dead castle we see now is only a part of the dead castle, an area for people and mechs to move about," Li Jing continued, "and the real dead castle is the part that tames crystal beasts. There is something."
"As for where the real Fortress of Death is..." Li Jing said, but deliberately turned the armor Wuming in the direction of Mu Yun, put his hands on his chest, raised his chin, and tapped the ground in front of him, saying , "I seriously doubt it, it's right under our feet!"
"Uh, boss, do you mean that the real dead castle is under our feet?" Before Mu Yun could speak, Su Sheng's eyes widened in shock and said, "That is to say, the real dead castle is under our feet." The underground of this underground dead castle?"
"Hehe, is it hard to understand?" Li Jing said, "The area we are in was originally built on the ground thousands of years ago. It's just that our ancestors artificially altered the terrain in order to bury the relics of the Millennium War and buried it in the Under the sea of thorns. As for the castle building divided into two parts above ground and underground, it is not uncommon on Pangu Continent."
"I believe that in the area we are currently in, there should be a road leading to the underground building, which is the place where people domesticated crystal beasts thousands of years ago. If the team in front had a map of the dead castle, they must have We have found this underground passage." Li Jing said, paused, and suddenly changed the topic, "—but, if we can find a shortcut and try to directly enter the underground building, we may not be behind them! "
"Shortcut?" Mu Yun already knew what Li Jing was going to say, but Su Sheng was still at a loss, "There is no way ahead, where is the shortcut? Are we going to turn around and go back outside the dead castle?" Are you looking for the passage that leads directly into the underground building? After so many years, that road should have been submerged by groundwater or collapsed long ago!"
"Hehe, where is the shortcut, then you have to ask the person in front of you." Li Jing said, manipulating the armor Wuming to raise his finger, but pointed in the direction of Mu Yun, "The question you just asked should be You’ve already discovered something, boy, I’ll leave it to you to perform, but don’t let me down!”
"Yeah." Mu Yun nodded expressionlessly, but she was slandering in her heart: I just wanted to pretend to be coercive. Who knew that you just made such a hypothesis just now, and you said so eloquently, throwing away the lines that originally belonged to me. It's all said and done, what else can I show!
There was an opportunity to pretend to be in front of me, but I didn't cherish it... At this moment, Mu Yun's heart is full of resentment.But then I thought about it: I just raised such a question, but Li Jing can make such a careful deduction, and even directly point out his own discovery, Jiang is indeed old and hot!It seems that I am still too young.
After figuring this out, Mu Yun also put away his original desire to show off his discovery, and said honestly: "Before the explosives on those scavengers were all detonated, there were ten iron spiders in the ring square. Two of the iron spiders have been blown up. After that, the dynamite pack of the scavenger was detonated, and the remaining iron spiders were also blown up one after another. But I counted them just now, and there are only nine iron spiders left in the sea of fire. The wreckage - one of the iron spiders, actually disappeared out of thin air!"
"Oh?" Li Jing narrowed his eyes, "Where was that iron spider originally located?"
"At three o'clock, it's about fifty steps away from us." Mu Yun replied very clearly.
The iron spider was huge, close to a [-]-ton special mech, so even if there were only wreckage left, it was still quite eye-catching in the sea of fire.But we must remember the positions of all the iron spiders before the explosion. Fortunately, Mu Yun wanted to restrain all the iron spiders by himself at that time, and fight for a chance of survival for those scavengers. He remembered the location so clearly—it was also because his attention had been focused on the iron spider before that he didn't notice that the explosives on the scavengers had been set to detonate at a fixed time.
"Is there..." Li Jing turned his gaze to the place Mu Yun was pointing at, and saw that although the place was also submerged in the sea of flames, compared with other places in the ring square, the fire was not too big.It's just that it's quite difficult to see clearly what's wrong with the place where the iron spider disappeared through the sky-high flames.
"Well," Mu Yun nodded, "the fire there is smaller than the other places where there are iron spider wreckage, so it can be judged that the iron spider disappeared from the ground before the ammunition depot was detonated. I It is guessed that after the bomb on the scavenger detonated, the chain of explosions caused the ground load-bearing structure of the circular square to shake loose, and the tonnage of the iron spider itself caused the ground to collapse. The disappearing iron spider fell directly into the dead castle The subterranean building part of—”
"So—there should be a shortcut to the underground part of the castle of death!"
"It should be like this." Li Jing calculated silently in his heart, and agreed with Mu Yun's conclusion, "The fire there is not big, and it won't cause much damage to the mecha if we forcefully go there. The spider's ammunition depot has not been detonated, and it is likely to ambush underground. At that time, we must be more vigilant-this time the danger is not on the ground, but the moment we enter the ground!
"Okay, boys, as the so-called wealth and wealth are in danger, cheer me up, let's go!"
Mu Yun was walking well, but when she heard Li Jing's words, she staggered inside the mecha, thinking that Li Jing is really...
The moment Mu Yun passed through the burning flames and entered the underground of the dead castle, Mu Yun felt that he had entered a completely different world.The contrast between the bright flames on the ground and the darkness underground made him unable to see anything for a moment. He only felt that something had been stirred up by his body-receiving action just now. where.Immediately after a gust of wind swept past, Mu Yun instinctively punched out, but heard Li Jing's voice from the communication channel, "It's me!"
Mu Yun restrained his fist abruptly, only to see Li Jing's battle armor Wuming also jumped out of the hole that the iron spider smashed open, but rolled on the spot, then stabilized his body and operated the mech to get up.
Seeing Li Jing's unsightly movements, Mu Yun couldn't help saying hello in her heart: Obviously Li Jing was the same as him, he couldn't see anything the moment he entered the ground.But compared to Mu Yun's operation in the dark just now, Li Jing's experience is obviously more abundant. This rolling on the spot not only avoids Mu Yun's loss of balance when he hits an obstacle on the ground, but also helps prevent landing There was a sneak attack somewhere—thanks to Li Jing's extremely ugly roll, otherwise Mu Yun would have hit Wuming in the armor just now with a punch.
"Be careful in ambush!" There was a hiss of electricity in the darkness, as if some huge engine was starting.The two mechas of Li Jing and Mu Yun immediately formed a back-to-back defensive posture.But with a soft sound, a beam of bright white light sprinkled from above their heads!Immediately around them, bunches of white light lit up one after another——
"This is... the automatic sensing lighting system?" Mu Yun was pleasantly surprised: Obviously the team in front hadn't passed here yet, so the automatic sensing lighting system here was not damaged.Just like what they had seen in the ground buildings of Dead Castle before, there are huge stone pillars arranged in a ring on the open space here, and the light source of the lighting system is installed on the top of the stone pillars.
At this moment, the two zero-type mechas of Mu Yun and Li Jing are like two small stones falling into the darkness. With them as the center, ripples of light beams are rippling, which also reveals the true face of the underground world of Dead Castle. eye!
"It's so big here!" Su Sheng opened his eyes wide and screamed involuntarily.The tall stone pillars also arranged in a ring are exactly the same as the ones they saw in the ground buildings of the dead castle before, except that they lack carved patterns and appear more rough.However, the diffusion of the induction light has never ended, making this dark underground space seem to be boundless!
Under the illumination of the white light beam, Mu Yun could also see clearly that what almost tripped him to the ground just now was the wreckage of a quaint mech.But at this moment, what was trampled by the armor Xifeng was the wreckage of an iron spider.Judging from the rusty twisted muzzle, it was obviously not the one that fell from the ground before.Seeing that the claws of the iron spider were still firmly clamping the quaint mecha that tripped Mu Yun before, it seemed that the two died together in a fierce battle.
As the area illuminated by the light gradually spread, Mu Yun looked more and more horrified in his heart: from the foot of the armor Xifeng standing at this moment to the place where the light disappeared, the distance within a hundred miles was as far as the eyes could see. Everywhere, there are all kinds of rusty remains of ancient mechs and mechanical creatures!Looking at these incomplete bodies, the mechs that were so broken that they could barely recognize the model, Mu Yun seemed to be able to see the battle that took place thousands of years ago. In the raging fire, there was an endless and tragic battle between the human knights and the mechanical creatures of the King's Legion. fight...
"It turns out that this is the real ruins of the ancient battlefield!" Mu Yun couldn't help but sigh with emotion.I thought it was no wonder that after entering the Castle of Death from that tunnel, although there were a lot of remains of mechas and mechanical creatures they saw, they did not seem to be the scale of casualties caused by a war, but they did not know where the real ancient battlefield was. Underground of Dead Fort.
This is where the crystal beasts are domesticated. In order to seize the amethyst and control the energy of the mechs, the king's army launched an attack on the castle of death. First, they chose to break through the underground and make a surprise attack, while the human knights fought and retreated, finally leading the king's army here At the place, the siege and ambush are carried out, and the two sides will decide the outcome here...
Mu Yun was thinking about the war that happened thousands of years ago when Su Sheng muttered, "Strange..."
"What's so strange?" Mu Yun looked around and asked.
"Everything here is very strange." Su Sheng said, "The legendary Millennium War was a war between human ancestors and the King's Legion led by the Immortal King. The so-called King's Legion is also controlled by the Immortal King. A mechanical creature?"
"It should be like this?" Mu Yun frowned, but she didn't understand why Su Sheng asked such an obvious question.
"Look there—" According to the coordinates given by Su Sheng, Mu Yun turned the armor Xifeng away, and suddenly understood why Su Sheng felt strange—they were two human mechas fighting together and dying together!
I saw that the black mech's hand was completely embedded in the cockpit of another red mech, and the saber in the red mech's hand split open the black mech's breastplate.The knights in the two mechas have died, but the mechas themselves are still standing, maintaining an unending posture, and have faced each other for thousands of years.
After noticing these two strange mechas, Mu Yun looked around again and found that among the wreckage of this ancient battlefield, quite a few mechas fell together.Mu Yun originally thought that these were human knights who fought side by side, but looking closely at the scars on those mechas, it was more like the human mechas that fell beside them...
And before Mu Yun thought it was the human mecha that died with the iron spider, after Mu Yun re-examined, he also found that the fatal injury of that mecha came from the artillery attack of another human mecha behind it.But the iron spider, which clamped the mecha with its claws, seemed to be trying to drag the mecha away from the blasting range but failed, and ended up being blown up together with the unlucky mecha...
Human mechs are killing each other, but mechanical creatures are assisting humans in fighting?Could it be that during the Millennium War, some human knights betrayed their own kind and joined the king's army instead?The picture of the battle between the human knights and the king's army was completely subverted. The ancient battlefield relics of the Millennium War in front of him made Mu Yun a little confused.
Under the pale beams of light, there seemed to be a huge cloud of doubts shrouding the thousand-year-old battlefield, making the countless mechanical wreckage look even more gloomy and terrifying.
Mu Yun even had an urge to find the chip that recorded the battle log in the wreckage of the ancient mecha. Only in this way can he know what happened here thousands of years ago.
"It's best not to mess with anything here." Mu Yun was about to open the cockpit cover of the mech, but he heard Li Jing's plain warning from the communication channel, "You should have noticed that this castle, whether it is The above-ground and underground buildings are well preserved, even the lighting system is intact, but people at that time would rather abandon this large-scale castle and spend a lot of time to bury it all. I think there should be their reasons of.
"In other words, human beings thousands of years ago believed that there are things that we should not find... or that we should not touch... It can also be said that touching things will cause serious consequences! And this may be triggered The serious consequences of this made them prefer to bury this castle as a funeral, but also to completely bury it!"
The cold wind caused by the flow of underground air blew across this open space like a mechanical grave. The pale light accompanied by Li Jing's words made the seemingly endless darkness around him even darker and more terrifying. Between the pillars, it seems that the souls of those who died in battle thousands of years ago are wandering in the sky above their heads.
Even in the mech, Mu Yun couldn't help shivering, and asked dryly: "The thing you mentioned that shouldn't be found or touched, isn't it a crystal beast?"
"Crystal beast?" Li Jing was stunned for a moment, "Although that thing has strong combat power, its lethality is just that. In the few hunting operations I participated in, the unlucky knights who were killed by crystal beasts were at most not More than one hundred, the number of people killed by each other in the process of snatching the ownership of crystal beasts is several times that."
One hundred... That's brutal, okay?Why are you calling me like a little white rabbit!Mu Yun complained in his heart.However, now that he knew that crystal beasts were not taboos that would cause serious consequences, he no longer asked any more questions. Instead, he identified the direction of the passage based on the corresponding location of the circular square on the ground in his impression, and tried to avoid the traffic on the ground carefully. The wreck walked forward.
The truth of the Millennium War is certainly curious, but Mu Yun has not forgotten that there is still a ruthless team waiting for them right now.
At this moment, Su Sheng's stammering voice came from the communication channel:
"Boss, look, boss, is there a person standing behind me..."
"What!" Hearing such a sentence suddenly in the dead underground like a cemetery, Mu Yun felt his scalp go numb, and turned around suddenly, but saw nothing.
"Who is it? Where is it?" Li Jing's tone sounded as casual as ever, but Wuming's movement of turning around was defensive and offensive, and the thermal saber was already in his hand.If there was really someone standing behind him, he might have been cut open before the battle armor Wuming turned around before he came back to his senses.
"That, that, that..." Su Sheng reported a coordinate, the direction is indeed behind the two mechas, but the distance is a bit far, in the darkness where the light beams can't reach, "Just now There was a flash of fire there, and I saw a huge figure passing by, and then disappeared..."
It seemed that Su Sheng was so frightened that he even stuttered when he spoke, not as eloquent as usual.Mu Yun squinted his eyes and looked at the darkness for a while, but still saw nothing. He couldn't help but said suspiciously: "You, you, you, you are not kidding me, are you? The acting is not bad, it's not bad. what?"
"I don't even look at where this is, my lord, I don't have the leisure to play with you, I want to play while playing!" Su Sheng started to fight, and his tongue seemed to be sharp again, "My lord, I'm really serious. Seeing someone there, it's really, really, really big..."
"Stop arguing, where are the people, let me take a look!" Li Jing yelled imposingly, and pushed Mu Yun's battle armor Xifeng aside, and Wuming's feet in the battle armor took a horse stance, facing him. The coordinates that Su Sheng mentioned in the darkness.
Just take a look, do you need such a big posture?Mu Yun was muttering in her heart, but in the next second, she saw a blasting bullet flying out of the shoulder cannon of Li Jing's mecha, and shot directly at the location of the "person" that Su Sheng mentioned in the darkness!
Just take a look, there's still such a big commotion!Mu Yun didn't expect that the "look" that Li Jing said was not to use eyes, but to "look" with explosive bombs. He was startled by the huge explosion sound unexpectedly, and was about to complain, but saw that In the flames detonated by the explosive bomb, a huge figure really appeared!
"This is--"
I saw that the giant was as tall as the two mechas driven by Mu Yun and Li Jing. His whole body was wrapped in dark armor, his eyes glared at the front, he stepped in front of him, and the long sword he held in both hands was high. Lift it up, as if to chop off the heads of those who dare to break into this place with a sword!
This is actually a humanoid heavy mecha thousands of years ago!
"I didn't expect to see an ancient special mecha here!" Mu Yun couldn't help but took two steps forward, looking up at this ancient mecha, which was called a work of art.The wreckage of the humanoid mecha that they saw all the way in the dead castle before, although the size is larger than the [-]-ton mecha that is currently popular on the mainland, but the shock it brings is far inferior to this machine that is comparable to the current one. There are no more than one hundred ancient heavy mechas of forty-ton special mechas on the mainland!
What's more, although this ancient black mech stood there majestically, its sword-holding figure had the aura to look down on the world and see the gods beheading the gods, just like the legendary giant who created the world.And although the sword edge in the giant's hand was frozen in mid-air, Mu Yun could completely imagine the thunderous thunder of that sword falling from the sky!
However, when Mu Yun wanted to get closer and appreciate the details of this ancient heavy mech, he was even more shocked to find that this mech seemed to be integrated with the knight's soul, exuding a majestic murderous aura The pure black mecha, the surface of the fuselage is not made of alloy, but covered with a thick layer of oxidized bronze!
This ancient mech, which looks murderous and looks like it will fly up at any time, is actually a statue made of bronze!Even the ground under the mecha's feet was faintly glowing black, and it was actually covered with a layer of bronze!
Suddenly seeing such a huge bronze statue in the underground of the dead castle, Mu Yun was a little confused, but not too surprised: after all, the people who built this dead castle seemed to have a strong desire to express themselves, and wanted to enter the dead castle Everyone knows the magnificent history of this castle. They have seen a lot of murals on the columns and columns along the way. It seems that such a statue that looks like a waste of time and money seems to be very suitable for Dead Castle. style of.
Thinking about the narrative murals that he had seen in the ground buildings of the Dead Castle, Mu Yun also wanted to find out if there were any explanatory words or patterns near the sculpture, but found nothing.Su Sheng, on the other hand, realized that the "giant" that had frightened him tremblingly was just a statue, so he lifted up his spirits and said, "Seeing this statue, I can be sure of one thing - that is the death of the dead castle." The master's face must not look very good!"
"Huh?" Mu Yun didn't grasp Su Sheng's escaping thoughts at all, and didn't understand how it could be seen from this statue that the owner of the dead castle didn't look good back then?But Su Sheng said in a straightforward manner: "Look at this statue, it is a heavy mecha comparable to our current [-]-ton special mecha. Is it something that ordinary people can handle? We saw so many broken mechas along the way. There isn't even a tattered and unlucky mech that is that big, right? To be able to control such a unique and big guy must be the lord of a castle!
"Think about it again, if the lord of this castle wants to make a portrait of himself, a life-sized one, wouldn't that be much easier and less troublesome than a mecha-sized one?" Su Sheng continued, "But He just wants to waste money and money to come up with such a big guy who can scare people to death! It shows that the owner of this dead castle has no confidence in his own dignity. The reputation of Dead Castle... That's why I would rather spend hundreds of times more to build a statue of my mecha to establish my own tall image! Tell me, is this the truth?"
"Well, it makes sense..." Mu Yun nodded, but felt that something was wrong, "Which owner spent a lot of money to erect a portrait of himself, and then put it in his basement?"
"This... maybe people are not satisfied with this statue, so they simply put it in the basement, and don't want to be seen by others!" Su Sheng scratched his head, trying to find some faults with this statue, but this statue is also really exquisite, and it is really worthless. The thorns can be picked, otherwise Mu Yun would not have regarded it as a real mech in the first place.Su Sheng was at a loss for words for a while, and said forcefully, "He is so rich and self-willed, isn't it?"
"Hehe," Li Jing looked up at the statue of the ancient mecha, as if he was deaf to the dispute between Mu Yun and Su Sheng, finally retracted his gaze at this moment, and said, "Let's not talk about why this statue appears here, if If I'm not mistaken, this ancient heavy armor should be the Black Wind Profound Armor of the legendary Dragon Slayer Knight Huang Quan. As for the legendary knight himself, he was handsome and suave before his disfigurement. "
"Wow, boss, you actually recognize this mech!" Su Sheng had an expression of admiration on his face, "Then what dragon slayer knight... Are you familiar with this handsome guy?"
"This handsome guy is an ancient man from thousands of years ago, how could he be very familiar with him as a teacher!" Li Jing was speechless when he heard Su Sheng's words, "I said, Dragon Slaying Knight Huang Quan is also recorded in "Knight's Travel Record" Heifengxuanjia is the No. 30 and third-ranked armor in the "Shen Bing Lu", you don't know anything about it?"
"Dragon Slaying Knight..." Mu Yun tried hard to remember. "Knight's Walking Record", which can be called a knight's textbook-level masterpiece, Mu Yun naturally had no chance to get in touch with it in the past, except not long ago, Li Jing sharpened his gun in front of the battle and forced him to read the chapter "Wu Bei Lu" in 5 minutes. He really didn't know anything about what the "Knight's Travel Record" talked about except the chapter on the law.But back then in the White Horse Barracks, Mu Yun often squeezed around the bonfire and secretly drank the wine of those veterans, listening to them sing the legendary stories of knights who once dominated the mainland with their hoarse voices and out of tune tunes.Therefore, the name Dragon Slaying Knight is no stranger to Mu Yun.
"This dragon slaying knight is not a person or an organization, but a group of knights who don't know each other." In my memory, the one-legged veteran in the White Horse Barracks was sitting by the campfire, drinking and burning knives while using hoarse voices. The voice said, "At that time, there were evil dragons on the Pangu Continent. The evil dragons climbed up from the sea, invaded human territories, and destroyed many villages. Countless people died in the belly of the evil dragons. The venom turned the land they crawled into a wasteland. So there was a group of dragon slaying knights. Although they didn't know each other, they all vowed to drive the dragon back to the sea. They each guarded the land Each of them fought against the evil dragons again and again at each of the pass fortresses, and each killed one after another the evil dragons that came ashore. Until the evil dragons no longer dared to approach the mainland, they only dared to stay in the depths of the sea honestly. This group of dragon slaying knights is guarding this continent with heroic battles...
"Among this group of dragon-slaying knights, the most heroic and skilled fighter is Huang Quan. He controls a huge Black Wind Profound Armor, and uses a long sword named Zhiyan to guard the Nether Gate of the Eastern Continent." In Mu Yun's memory, the one-legged veteran in the White Horse Barracks was particularly excited when he talked about the Netherworld Knight, gesticulating with the crutch in his hand, "That black wind armor is enough to fight against hurricanes in the sea, and that scorching flame The sword can even steam the sea water, and it can cut a path in the sea! This knight named Huang Quan guarded the Nether Pass for ten years by himself! The dragon he killed was in the Nether Pass. Under the cliff, the white bones piled up one after another, turning into a small island of keel, which is called 'Dragon Buried Bones'.
"On the top of the 'Dragon Buried Bones', the largest skeleton is a one-eyed old dragon. It is said that when Huang Quan was a handsome young man, this old dragon who lived hundreds of years suddenly wanted to come to the shore to breathe. , destroyed a dozen fishing villages near the sea in one go, and even the fiancée of the Knight of Huangquan died in the belly of the dragon. The flaming sword blinded the old dragon in one eye, but was still slipped away by the cunning old dragon. Even the two companions of the Netherworld Knight were killed by the old dragon and sank into the sea.
"Later, in the ten years that the Netherworld Knight guarded the Nether Pass, he encountered this cunning one-eyed old dragon nine times and fought with it nine times. Those battles were compiled into ballads. At the time of this old dragon, he had changed from a handsome boy to a man covered in scars, and his handsome face was also disfigured by the dragon's venom. Just like the old dragon, only his face remained. One eye, only two holes left for the nose, no lips, and can't even speak clearly.
"The Knight of the Underworld and the one-eyed old dragon fought in the sea for seven days and seven nights, and the people waited for seven days and seven nights on the shore. They could only see the rolling waves, but they did not know where the Knight of the Underworld was, nor whether he was still alive. The seventh day At dawn, people saw a raging fire suddenly burning in the sea, the fire went straight to the sky, turned into a bright red morning glow, and the morning glow fell into the sea again, and the sea water became blood red. At this time, the sea was divided into two halves , revealing the Black Wind Profound Armor of the Underworld Knight, holding the long sword in one hand and dragging the dragon's body in the other, he walked all the way to the shore, and then fell down exhausted.
"The corpse of the one-eyed old dragon occupied a radius of several miles. The residents of the nearby villages all came. They didn't know what the Netherworld Knight was doing to drag the old dragon ashore. After the Netherworld Knight woke up, he raised the flame, A sword split the old dragon's stomach, and countless corpses rolled out of the old dragon's stomach. The mother found the long-lost child, and the grandson saw the grandfather he had never met. Countless screams rang out from hundreds of miles away. cries.
"The Knight of Huangquan opened the Black Wind Profound Armor and came out. People were scared out of their wits by his ugly face, and they gave way to him one after another. He passed through the crowd, walked into the belly of the dragon, and took out a There is a skeleton in a wedding dress, with long seaweed growing on the skull, and a necklace of gemstones hanging around its neck, which is the token given to his fiancée by the Knight of the Underworld."
After the one-legged veteran from the White Horse Barracks finished telling the story of the Dragon Slayer Knight Huang Quan, he hummed while drinking soju.Mu Yun still remembers the starry sky in the Northwest desert and the desolate singing beside the bonfire: One sword cuts through the vastness, the raging sea is my way; Ten years of loneliness, listening to that song, imagining the raging sea that he had never seen before, the heroic spirit of that sword piercing the boundless, involuntarily boiling his blood, as if the burning knife that he drank secretly burned all the way to his chest inside……
Now looking up at this majestic sculpture of the Black Wind Profound Armor, Mu Yun seemed to hear the song sung by the one-legged veteran in the White Horse Barracks by the bonfire again, and a feeling of blood boiled spontaneously again. Li Jing's casual voice came to his ears, as if he was explaining the legend of the dragon slaying knight Huang Quan to Su Sheng, "...so, the knight of Huang Quan broke the dragon's belly with his sword at that time. It's not his fiancée's remains, but the priceless amethyst..."
This guy really can ruin the atmosphere... Mu Yun rolled his eyes.He is no longer the kid in the northwest desert who likes to sit by the bonfire and listen to the veterans chatting. Naturally, he also knows that legends are just legends after all. There have been such heroes, it is better to say that people's inner yearning and desire for such heroes.
Therefore, the ancient ballad will not mention that the dragons killed by the dragon slaying knights are actually crystal beasts that can produce amethyst in their bodies.If Mu Yun hadn't been standing in the Fortress of Death at this moment, I'm afraid he wouldn't have imagined that the Netherworld knight who had a deep hatred for the evil dragon tamed the evil dragon he hated most underground to collect amethysts...
Perhaps real heroes exist only in legends.Mu Yun looked up at the huge statue, but he couldn't find the blood-boiling feeling just now in his heart.He felt ridiculous for himself, and he felt sorry for those children who believed in those heroic legends as he did naively and swore to become knights under the inspiration of those heroic legends: I am afraid they never realized that those legends Knights are all nobles. If it wasn't for the Knight of Huangquan who is the lord of the city and has a prominent noble status, how can he have such a precious armor like the Black Wind Profound Armor?
Mu Yun once owned a [-]-ton heavy mecha, but that was in exchange for the bad luck of the destruction of Baima City.What's more, even though he was driving the armor Zephyr back then, no one was willing to truly admit that he was a knight.There are many children born like him. They grew up listening to the heroic legends of various knights, and longed to become the heroes in the stories.But when they grow up, they will realize how unrealistic the dream of becoming a knight is: the money they earn in their lives may not even be able to afford a piece of mecha leg armor.
Mu Yun suddenly realized that compared with the Black Wind Profound Armor represented by this statue, even compared with the special type of mecha they used to drive, the zero-type mecha they are driving now is so crude.He glanced at Li Jing's direction. This guy is also a nobleman. Although he deliberately behaved like a commoner, it still can't change his status as a nobleman. How did he adapt to all this... Mu Yun let himself stop thinking about it . "Why do you think this statue is here?" He asked as calmly as possible, but it was still difficult to take his nostalgic gaze away from the statue.
"It's hard to say." Li Jing shook his head lightly, and Armor Wuming responded to his actions, "The situation here is too weird." He was silent for a moment, the flames ignited by the blasting bombs had gradually weakened, and now Only the remaining fire was burning on the ground, and the huge statue gradually sank into the darkness.
He asked Su Sheng, "How did you find this statue just now?"
"Fire." Su Sheng said, "There was a flash of fire just now. I only saw the shadow of this statue. I thought it was a giant. I was shocked!"
"This is not right." Mu Yun frowned, and said to Li Jing, "Since this Black Wind Profound Armor is just a statue, it naturally won't move, let alone emit fire, where did the fire that Su Sheng saw just now come from? "
"It seems that even in the world of the dead, there will be people who are unwilling to be lonely." Li Jing squinted his eyes and looked around the darkness around him. The nameless battle armor rotated with his movements, not only on the head, but also on the shoulders. muzzle—
"Got you!"
Accompanied by Li Jing's shout, the last blasting shell shot out from the armor's nameless shoulder cannon, but it was thrown behind the statue in an arc!Hearing angry hissing in the darkness, a huge black figure rushed out. It was the iron spider that fell into the underground cemetery from the ground before!
"Someone!" The sharp-eyed Su Sheng called out first, and Mu Yun also saw that there was a small white figure sandwiched between the front claws of the iron spider.It was a scavenger wearing white armor, maybe he fell with the iron spider, but for some reason, the explosive bag on his body was missing, maybe it was cut off by the iron spider's pincers, which saved him. However, he also became the prey of the iron spider.
I want to save him.Mu Yun thought to himself.It's a silly idea.They've all run out of explosive bombs, and even lost his thermal saber.Facing such an iron spider, they had better turn around and run now.The guy hanging on the iron spider's claws might have died long ago, and the fire he lit just now might have been trying to call for help, but now he just hangs there lifelessly, swinging his limbs feebly in the air.
Control your emotions, don't let your emotions control you.What Li Jing said to him not long ago echoed in his mind again.Deep down in his heart, he knew that Li Jing was right. Heroes only exist in legends, and no one can achieve miracles with just blood.
The dragon slaying knights hunted down the evil dragons to get the amethyst in exchange for the castle and the black wind armor. Only in this way can they continue to guard the coastline and protect the coastal villages.Li Jing also made capturing the Amethyst the top priority of the trip, only in this way could they have money to change equipment, buy food, and go further.It's all realistic, and there's nothing wrong with it, it's just that he doesn't like it.
Perhaps he will never become a true knight.He quickly pressed the control panel, removed the metal dorsal compartment behind him, and threw it to Li Jing.
Perhaps he was still the ridiculously innocent young man by the bonfire in the White Horse Barracks. A sip of burning knife wine and a heroic elegy could make his blood boil.He squinted his eyes, calculating his charging distance and acceleration limit in front of the iron spider.
Perhaps a part of his heart will always be the scavenger running barefoot in the desert. At that time, a knight knelt down beside him and used his mech to block the explosion of landmines for him. .From that moment on, that knight planted a dream in his heart.
Until now, he has not given up on that dream——
Become a true knight and protect all those who cannot protect themselves!
If heroes only exist in legends, then let me change this reality!
He starts running, sprinting, powering up his leg thrusters to maximum power, and jumps.He is still not good at melee combat, even if he is good at melee combat, he still can't contain a huge iron spider with his bare hands.There were many mecha wrecks on the ground, and if he picked carefully, he might be able to find a usable weapon or two, but he was running out of time.The weapon he was looking at was in the hands of the statue of the Black Wind Profound Armor.It was just a long bronze sword, heavy enough and big enough, plus the gravitational acceleration formed by his sprinting and jumping...
The toes of the battle armor Zephyr landed on the knees of the statue.His hands reached the sword.He originally planned to use the weight of the mecha to knock the sword out of the statue's hand, but the sword slipped out of the statue's hand lightly by itself.The hilt of the sword slipped into the hands of the battle armor Xifeng, and the neuron sensor system made him feel the smooth and heavy texture.The long sword equipped with a forty-ton mech turned into a giant sword in his hands, and he needed both hands to hold the sword.Gravity dragged him down irresistibly, and he adjusted the operation mode in mid-air at a speed that was unbelievable even for himself, compressing, switching again, pushing, and jumping——
He grasped the rusty bronze greatsword with all his strength, and raised it above his head while breathing heavily.This sword does not have any skills, but the weight of this sword is enough to make an iron spider retreat, and the vibrating joints will force it to loosen its pincers.
After calculating everything, he let go and handed himself over to gravity, allowing the weight of the mech itself to become a part of the sword, falling straight down from the sky, and letting gravity take him to the target!
The clanging sound of metal impacts tore through the air, and the huge hiss spread like ripples centered on him and the iron spider to the surrounding dead world.The gravity of the impact, the bronze giant sword, and the weight of the armor Zephyr severely pressed the iron spider to the ground.This moment was shorter than a breath, but he felt that time seemed to be stagnant, so long that he could hear his heartbeat countless times.
Between every heartbeat he saw the black waves steaming, the sea split in two, the wings of the dragon writhing in the clouds.He heard the sound of countless swords clashing, the relics of the ancient battlefield revived before his eyes, and countless rusty and mottled battle armor stood up from the ground, fighting on the boundless land.He saw the wind in the northwest desert wrapping the yellow sand and dancing wildly, he saw billions of stars rising and falling at the same time, he saw the desert turning into an ocean, and he saw the creature as old as this continent in his dream looking down. He, opened his mouth to him—
Countless people who couldn't see their faces were roaring, and endless voices echoed in his mind.
The voice was so loud, the sound wave surged in his chest, as if it wanted to squeeze his heart out of his chest, forcing him to roar accordingly!
"Knight's Creed Sword of Mercy! - Break!"
Amidst the roar that pierced his eardrums, he saw the rusty bronze giant sword split open.The rusty metal surface cracked and fell off from the sword body, and rose up in the air as the giant sword fell, like a black butterfly that had turned into a butterfly and froze around the armor of Zephyr.
In the next second, a golden flame rose from the giant sword and spread to the entire body of the sword. The dazzling light like a burning star enveloped the giant sword, as if the entire underground space—the light in the entire universe— —all converged on this sword!
Immediately afterwards, the incomparably bright sword edge cut into the black armor of the iron spider, just like light tearing the darkness, the flames bursting out from the sword hissed, instantly cutting the iron spider in two!
The feet of the battle armor Xifeng fell to the ground again.Mu Yun's mind was still buzzing.His heart was beating wildly, and the hands holding the hilt of the sword couldn't help shaking.He didn't know what happened just now, and he didn't even understand what kind of words came out of his mouth.He felt that at that moment, he became a part of the sword, and it seemed that the sword became a part of himself, and he couldn't even feel the existence of the mecha.
At that moment, he was so light, like a spot of light splashed on the edge of the sword, a piece of stardust in the universe, time no longer had any effect on him, he could live through a person's life in one second For a lifetime, it seemed that the lives of countless people passed through his mind in that second.
Then all the real feeling came back.The real weight of the mech transmitted from the nerve sensor system overwhelmed him, and he fell to his knees, almost vomiting.He suppressed his nausea, and glanced at the giant sword that he used as a crutch.The sword body has become dull, but the copper rust on it is gone, the sword body is smooth, with a trace of blood streaks in the blackness.The iron spider that had been split in half was still in front of him, which proved that what happened just now was not his illusion.
"Good sword!" He heard Li Jing's voice, as if it came from a very far away place, "I don't know how you swung this sword... But this sword should be the real sword worn by the Netherworld Knight back then. The sword, that is, the legendary Burning Flame Sword!"
"I want to call it the Bright Sword." Mu Yun said.He didn't know how the name came to his mind, but he had a strange feeling: the history of this sword should be longer than the era of Dragon Knight.Perhaps it was the visions that the sword stirred up in his mind that gave him this feeling.
He now knew that the substance covering the sword was not bronze, but a biological metal disguised as bronze.He has never seen this kind of thing, but at the moment when the sword broke out of the cocoon, he could feel that it was a product of some kind of mechanical civilization era, something that is still alive today, and they once sealed this place. The sword lasted for thousands of years, but was completely burned by the flames in the sword at that moment.
He raised his head and looked at Heifeng Xuanjia again.This is not a statue.He can be sure.
The real Black Wind Profound Armor was hidden behind the bronze, sealed by those disguised biological metals for thousands of years, just like the bright sword in his hand.
Is there a way they can get it out?He shook his head, dismissing the idea.He didn't even understand what the Bright Sword was all about. Even if he could get out the Black Wind Profound Armor, it wouldn't be possible in a short while.He has more things to worry about right now...
He forced himself to stand up, and inserted the Bright Sword into the back of the battle armor Zephyr, the groove that was originally used to fix the metal back compartment.
When the bright sword hit the iron spider, the scavenger who was hanging on the claws was blown away.The small white body fell under the statue of Heifengxuanjia.Mu Yun walked out of the cockpit, and Wuming in the armor stood guard beside him.He squatted down and lifted up this limp body. The scavenger's petite body under the white armor looked like a child, which made him feel very bad.He broke the visor off the Scavenger's helmet with his hands, trying to make sure he was still breathing.Then he froze.
What was exposed under the mask was the face of a human girl with very white skin, like a piece of white paper, with delicate facial features drawn on it.The girl seemed to be still dizzy, her slender eyelashes flickering slightly, when she finally opened her eyes and met Mu Yun's gaze, Mu Yun saw red pupils shining in those cat-like eyes.
After being silent for a while, Mu Yun raised his head and greeted Li Jing, "Hey, come out and have a look!"
"This child... doesn't seem to be a human?"
(End of this chapter)
"I said boss, whether we want to defeat those guys or capture the amethyst, we have to find a way first..." Su Sheng's depressed voice came from the communication channel.
After carefully observing the ring square that was blown into a sea of flames by the scavenger tactics, even Li Jing had to admit that although the opponent was cruel, this tactic was really effective: the sea of flames formed by the explosion completely blocked the traffic behind the ring square. The road to the depths of the dead castle left them with only two options: to wait for the fire to subside in place, or to venture through the flames.
"There are a lot of combustibles in this circular square, plus the secondary explosion after the ammunition depots in the belly of the iron spiders trapped in the sea of fire were ignited. If we wait until the fire becomes smaller, we will pass through this square. That team probably got the amethyst long ago and walked out of the dead castle." Li Jing said while rubbing his chin.
"Then take the risk and try? Although the fire is powerful, our mecha is not that fragile!" Su Sheng asked tentatively.
"Hehe, it's not impossible to break through this sea of flames, but all the ammunition on our bodies must stay here, otherwise we will end up like those iron spiders that were burned to the ammunition depot," Li Jing continued. Said, "What's more, even if the shell of any mecha is resistant to high temperature, walking around in this sea of explosives will cause damage to the performance of the mecha. If you don't meet the enemy, first damage the mecha. If you meet the opponent, do you still want to fight?"
"Wait in place, you will definitely not be able to catch up with the opponent; but if you force your way, you will lose your combat power... The opponent left us with these two options, no matter which one we choose, it will be beneficial to the opponent." Li Jing narrowed his eyes. Eyes, "It seems that the other party means that keeping these scavengers is also a warning to us, asking us to retreat in spite of difficulties..."
"Wait," Mu Yun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Is there a third option?"
"For example... a secret passage that even the other party didn't discover?"
"This is unlikely." Li Jing said, "The team in front is obviously much more familiar with the internal structure of Dead Castle than we are, and they may even have a map of Dead Castle in their hands. There may only be secret passages that we haven't discovered. , it is unlikely that there is a secret passage that the other party does not know about."
"Perhaps before they detonated the bombs on these scavengers, the situation was as you said, but now it may not be..." Mu Yun thought about it, and before Li Jing asked, he first threw out the question he had been asking, " Don't you think this dead castle...is a bit too small?"
Small doesn't sound like an appropriate description for Dead Castle.After all, when Mu Yun and the others first entered the Fortress of Death, they were still shocked by the grand avenue and those towering giant pillars that could accommodate two [-]-ton mechs passing side by side.The main passages in the dead castle are also all designed to a high scale that allows forty-ton special mechs to pass through without any obstacles.
In view of the abundant amethyst energy in the era of mechanical civilization, the tonnage of mechas in that era was also higher than the tonnage of mechas on the mainland today. This kind of towering and tall architectural design also has practical value.Just like the circular square burning into a sea of flames in front of them, it is wide enough to serve as a training ground for forty-ton special mechs.
However, the scale of the Fortress of Death is huge and magnificent for knights like Mu Yun and Li Jing who are driving the most common [-]-ton mecha on the mainland today, and it is comparable to the [-]-ton special mecha in the era of mechanical civilization. The size of the ancient mecha is just right for the tonnage of the mecha, but for the ancient crystal beasts of thousands of tons, the dead castle is indeed too small...
"Indeed, with the scale of the Dead Castle we see now, it doesn't seem like there is a place where crystal beasts can be domesticated..." Li Jing is such a smart person, just as Mu Yun asked, he immediately understood the crux of the problem , said, "What's more, the Donglin Continent does not produce crystal beasts. The crystal beasts domesticated in this dead castle should be transported from other places. But judging from the passageway we entered the dead castle before, its scale is even Young crystal beasts can't pass through either. In other words, there must be another passage that can enter the dead castle, and its size can accommodate crystal beasts to pass through, but we haven't found it yet—”
"In other words, the dead castle we see now is only a part of the dead castle, an area for people and mechs to move about," Li Jing continued, "and the real dead castle is the part that tames crystal beasts. There is something."
"As for where the real Fortress of Death is..." Li Jing said, but deliberately turned the armor Wuming in the direction of Mu Yun, put his hands on his chest, raised his chin, and tapped the ground in front of him, saying , "I seriously doubt it, it's right under our feet!"
"Uh, boss, do you mean that the real dead castle is under our feet?" Before Mu Yun could speak, Su Sheng's eyes widened in shock and said, "That is to say, the real dead castle is under our feet." The underground of this underground dead castle?"
"Hehe, is it hard to understand?" Li Jing said, "The area we are in was originally built on the ground thousands of years ago. It's just that our ancestors artificially altered the terrain in order to bury the relics of the Millennium War and buried it in the Under the sea of thorns. As for the castle building divided into two parts above ground and underground, it is not uncommon on Pangu Continent."
"I believe that in the area we are currently in, there should be a road leading to the underground building, which is the place where people domesticated crystal beasts thousands of years ago. If the team in front had a map of the dead castle, they must have We have found this underground passage." Li Jing said, paused, and suddenly changed the topic, "—but, if we can find a shortcut and try to directly enter the underground building, we may not be behind them! "
"Shortcut?" Mu Yun already knew what Li Jing was going to say, but Su Sheng was still at a loss, "There is no way ahead, where is the shortcut? Are we going to turn around and go back outside the dead castle?" Are you looking for the passage that leads directly into the underground building? After so many years, that road should have been submerged by groundwater or collapsed long ago!"
"Hehe, where is the shortcut, then you have to ask the person in front of you." Li Jing said, manipulating the armor Wuming to raise his finger, but pointed in the direction of Mu Yun, "The question you just asked should be You’ve already discovered something, boy, I’ll leave it to you to perform, but don’t let me down!”
"Yeah." Mu Yun nodded expressionlessly, but she was slandering in her heart: I just wanted to pretend to be coercive. Who knew that you just made such a hypothesis just now, and you said so eloquently, throwing away the lines that originally belonged to me. It's all said and done, what else can I show!
There was an opportunity to pretend to be in front of me, but I didn't cherish it... At this moment, Mu Yun's heart is full of resentment.But then I thought about it: I just raised such a question, but Li Jing can make such a careful deduction, and even directly point out his own discovery, Jiang is indeed old and hot!It seems that I am still too young.
After figuring this out, Mu Yun also put away his original desire to show off his discovery, and said honestly: "Before the explosives on those scavengers were all detonated, there were ten iron spiders in the ring square. Two of the iron spiders have been blown up. After that, the dynamite pack of the scavenger was detonated, and the remaining iron spiders were also blown up one after another. But I counted them just now, and there are only nine iron spiders left in the sea of fire. The wreckage - one of the iron spiders, actually disappeared out of thin air!"
"Oh?" Li Jing narrowed his eyes, "Where was that iron spider originally located?"
"At three o'clock, it's about fifty steps away from us." Mu Yun replied very clearly.
The iron spider was huge, close to a [-]-ton special mech, so even if there were only wreckage left, it was still quite eye-catching in the sea of fire.But we must remember the positions of all the iron spiders before the explosion. Fortunately, Mu Yun wanted to restrain all the iron spiders by himself at that time, and fight for a chance of survival for those scavengers. He remembered the location so clearly—it was also because his attention had been focused on the iron spider before that he didn't notice that the explosives on the scavengers had been set to detonate at a fixed time.
"Is there..." Li Jing turned his gaze to the place Mu Yun was pointing at, and saw that although the place was also submerged in the sea of flames, compared with other places in the ring square, the fire was not too big.It's just that it's quite difficult to see clearly what's wrong with the place where the iron spider disappeared through the sky-high flames.
"Well," Mu Yun nodded, "the fire there is smaller than the other places where there are iron spider wreckage, so it can be judged that the iron spider disappeared from the ground before the ammunition depot was detonated. I It is guessed that after the bomb on the scavenger detonated, the chain of explosions caused the ground load-bearing structure of the circular square to shake loose, and the tonnage of the iron spider itself caused the ground to collapse. The disappearing iron spider fell directly into the dead castle The subterranean building part of—”
"So—there should be a shortcut to the underground part of the castle of death!"
"It should be like this." Li Jing calculated silently in his heart, and agreed with Mu Yun's conclusion, "The fire there is not big, and it won't cause much damage to the mecha if we forcefully go there. The spider's ammunition depot has not been detonated, and it is likely to ambush underground. At that time, we must be more vigilant-this time the danger is not on the ground, but the moment we enter the ground!
"Okay, boys, as the so-called wealth and wealth are in danger, cheer me up, let's go!"
Mu Yun was walking well, but when she heard Li Jing's words, she staggered inside the mecha, thinking that Li Jing is really...
The moment Mu Yun passed through the burning flames and entered the underground of the dead castle, Mu Yun felt that he had entered a completely different world.The contrast between the bright flames on the ground and the darkness underground made him unable to see anything for a moment. He only felt that something had been stirred up by his body-receiving action just now. where.Immediately after a gust of wind swept past, Mu Yun instinctively punched out, but heard Li Jing's voice from the communication channel, "It's me!"
Mu Yun restrained his fist abruptly, only to see Li Jing's battle armor Wuming also jumped out of the hole that the iron spider smashed open, but rolled on the spot, then stabilized his body and operated the mech to get up.
Seeing Li Jing's unsightly movements, Mu Yun couldn't help saying hello in her heart: Obviously Li Jing was the same as him, he couldn't see anything the moment he entered the ground.But compared to Mu Yun's operation in the dark just now, Li Jing's experience is obviously more abundant. This rolling on the spot not only avoids Mu Yun's loss of balance when he hits an obstacle on the ground, but also helps prevent landing There was a sneak attack somewhere—thanks to Li Jing's extremely ugly roll, otherwise Mu Yun would have hit Wuming in the armor just now with a punch.
"Be careful in ambush!" There was a hiss of electricity in the darkness, as if some huge engine was starting.The two mechas of Li Jing and Mu Yun immediately formed a back-to-back defensive posture.But with a soft sound, a beam of bright white light sprinkled from above their heads!Immediately around them, bunches of white light lit up one after another——
"This is... the automatic sensing lighting system?" Mu Yun was pleasantly surprised: Obviously the team in front hadn't passed here yet, so the automatic sensing lighting system here was not damaged.Just like what they had seen in the ground buildings of Dead Castle before, there are huge stone pillars arranged in a ring on the open space here, and the light source of the lighting system is installed on the top of the stone pillars.
At this moment, the two zero-type mechas of Mu Yun and Li Jing are like two small stones falling into the darkness. With them as the center, ripples of light beams are rippling, which also reveals the true face of the underground world of Dead Castle. eye!
"It's so big here!" Su Sheng opened his eyes wide and screamed involuntarily.The tall stone pillars also arranged in a ring are exactly the same as the ones they saw in the ground buildings of the dead castle before, except that they lack carved patterns and appear more rough.However, the diffusion of the induction light has never ended, making this dark underground space seem to be boundless!
Under the illumination of the white light beam, Mu Yun could also see clearly that what almost tripped him to the ground just now was the wreckage of a quaint mech.But at this moment, what was trampled by the armor Xifeng was the wreckage of an iron spider.Judging from the rusty twisted muzzle, it was obviously not the one that fell from the ground before.Seeing that the claws of the iron spider were still firmly clamping the quaint mecha that tripped Mu Yun before, it seemed that the two died together in a fierce battle.
As the area illuminated by the light gradually spread, Mu Yun looked more and more horrified in his heart: from the foot of the armor Xifeng standing at this moment to the place where the light disappeared, the distance within a hundred miles was as far as the eyes could see. Everywhere, there are all kinds of rusty remains of ancient mechs and mechanical creatures!Looking at these incomplete bodies, the mechs that were so broken that they could barely recognize the model, Mu Yun seemed to be able to see the battle that took place thousands of years ago. In the raging fire, there was an endless and tragic battle between the human knights and the mechanical creatures of the King's Legion. fight...
"It turns out that this is the real ruins of the ancient battlefield!" Mu Yun couldn't help but sigh with emotion.I thought it was no wonder that after entering the Castle of Death from that tunnel, although there were a lot of remains of mechas and mechanical creatures they saw, they did not seem to be the scale of casualties caused by a war, but they did not know where the real ancient battlefield was. Underground of Dead Fort.
This is where the crystal beasts are domesticated. In order to seize the amethyst and control the energy of the mechs, the king's army launched an attack on the castle of death. First, they chose to break through the underground and make a surprise attack, while the human knights fought and retreated, finally leading the king's army here At the place, the siege and ambush are carried out, and the two sides will decide the outcome here...
Mu Yun was thinking about the war that happened thousands of years ago when Su Sheng muttered, "Strange..."
"What's so strange?" Mu Yun looked around and asked.
"Everything here is very strange." Su Sheng said, "The legendary Millennium War was a war between human ancestors and the King's Legion led by the Immortal King. The so-called King's Legion is also controlled by the Immortal King. A mechanical creature?"
"It should be like this?" Mu Yun frowned, but she didn't understand why Su Sheng asked such an obvious question.
"Look there—" According to the coordinates given by Su Sheng, Mu Yun turned the armor Xifeng away, and suddenly understood why Su Sheng felt strange—they were two human mechas fighting together and dying together!
I saw that the black mech's hand was completely embedded in the cockpit of another red mech, and the saber in the red mech's hand split open the black mech's breastplate.The knights in the two mechas have died, but the mechas themselves are still standing, maintaining an unending posture, and have faced each other for thousands of years.
After noticing these two strange mechas, Mu Yun looked around again and found that among the wreckage of this ancient battlefield, quite a few mechas fell together.Mu Yun originally thought that these were human knights who fought side by side, but looking closely at the scars on those mechas, it was more like the human mechas that fell beside them...
And before Mu Yun thought it was the human mecha that died with the iron spider, after Mu Yun re-examined, he also found that the fatal injury of that mecha came from the artillery attack of another human mecha behind it.But the iron spider, which clamped the mecha with its claws, seemed to be trying to drag the mecha away from the blasting range but failed, and ended up being blown up together with the unlucky mecha...
Human mechs are killing each other, but mechanical creatures are assisting humans in fighting?Could it be that during the Millennium War, some human knights betrayed their own kind and joined the king's army instead?The picture of the battle between the human knights and the king's army was completely subverted. The ancient battlefield relics of the Millennium War in front of him made Mu Yun a little confused.
Under the pale beams of light, there seemed to be a huge cloud of doubts shrouding the thousand-year-old battlefield, making the countless mechanical wreckage look even more gloomy and terrifying.
Mu Yun even had an urge to find the chip that recorded the battle log in the wreckage of the ancient mecha. Only in this way can he know what happened here thousands of years ago.
"It's best not to mess with anything here." Mu Yun was about to open the cockpit cover of the mech, but he heard Li Jing's plain warning from the communication channel, "You should have noticed that this castle, whether it is The above-ground and underground buildings are well preserved, even the lighting system is intact, but people at that time would rather abandon this large-scale castle and spend a lot of time to bury it all. I think there should be their reasons of.
"In other words, human beings thousands of years ago believed that there are things that we should not find... or that we should not touch... It can also be said that touching things will cause serious consequences! And this may be triggered The serious consequences of this made them prefer to bury this castle as a funeral, but also to completely bury it!"
The cold wind caused by the flow of underground air blew across this open space like a mechanical grave. The pale light accompanied by Li Jing's words made the seemingly endless darkness around him even darker and more terrifying. Between the pillars, it seems that the souls of those who died in battle thousands of years ago are wandering in the sky above their heads.
Even in the mech, Mu Yun couldn't help shivering, and asked dryly: "The thing you mentioned that shouldn't be found or touched, isn't it a crystal beast?"
"Crystal beast?" Li Jing was stunned for a moment, "Although that thing has strong combat power, its lethality is just that. In the few hunting operations I participated in, the unlucky knights who were killed by crystal beasts were at most not More than one hundred, the number of people killed by each other in the process of snatching the ownership of crystal beasts is several times that."
One hundred... That's brutal, okay?Why are you calling me like a little white rabbit!Mu Yun complained in his heart.However, now that he knew that crystal beasts were not taboos that would cause serious consequences, he no longer asked any more questions. Instead, he identified the direction of the passage based on the corresponding location of the circular square on the ground in his impression, and tried to avoid the traffic on the ground carefully. The wreck walked forward.
The truth of the Millennium War is certainly curious, but Mu Yun has not forgotten that there is still a ruthless team waiting for them right now.
At this moment, Su Sheng's stammering voice came from the communication channel:
"Boss, look, boss, is there a person standing behind me..."
"What!" Hearing such a sentence suddenly in the dead underground like a cemetery, Mu Yun felt his scalp go numb, and turned around suddenly, but saw nothing.
"Who is it? Where is it?" Li Jing's tone sounded as casual as ever, but Wuming's movement of turning around was defensive and offensive, and the thermal saber was already in his hand.If there was really someone standing behind him, he might have been cut open before the battle armor Wuming turned around before he came back to his senses.
"That, that, that..." Su Sheng reported a coordinate, the direction is indeed behind the two mechas, but the distance is a bit far, in the darkness where the light beams can't reach, "Just now There was a flash of fire there, and I saw a huge figure passing by, and then disappeared..."
It seemed that Su Sheng was so frightened that he even stuttered when he spoke, not as eloquent as usual.Mu Yun squinted his eyes and looked at the darkness for a while, but still saw nothing. He couldn't help but said suspiciously: "You, you, you, you are not kidding me, are you? The acting is not bad, it's not bad. what?"
"I don't even look at where this is, my lord, I don't have the leisure to play with you, I want to play while playing!" Su Sheng started to fight, and his tongue seemed to be sharp again, "My lord, I'm really serious. Seeing someone there, it's really, really, really big..."
"Stop arguing, where are the people, let me take a look!" Li Jing yelled imposingly, and pushed Mu Yun's battle armor Xifeng aside, and Wuming's feet in the battle armor took a horse stance, facing him. The coordinates that Su Sheng mentioned in the darkness.
Just take a look, do you need such a big posture?Mu Yun was muttering in her heart, but in the next second, she saw a blasting bullet flying out of the shoulder cannon of Li Jing's mecha, and shot directly at the location of the "person" that Su Sheng mentioned in the darkness!
Just take a look, there's still such a big commotion!Mu Yun didn't expect that the "look" that Li Jing said was not to use eyes, but to "look" with explosive bombs. He was startled by the huge explosion sound unexpectedly, and was about to complain, but saw that In the flames detonated by the explosive bomb, a huge figure really appeared!
"This is--"
I saw that the giant was as tall as the two mechas driven by Mu Yun and Li Jing. His whole body was wrapped in dark armor, his eyes glared at the front, he stepped in front of him, and the long sword he held in both hands was high. Lift it up, as if to chop off the heads of those who dare to break into this place with a sword!
This is actually a humanoid heavy mecha thousands of years ago!
"I didn't expect to see an ancient special mecha here!" Mu Yun couldn't help but took two steps forward, looking up at this ancient mecha, which was called a work of art.The wreckage of the humanoid mecha that they saw all the way in the dead castle before, although the size is larger than the [-]-ton mecha that is currently popular on the mainland, but the shock it brings is far inferior to this machine that is comparable to the current one. There are no more than one hundred ancient heavy mechas of forty-ton special mechas on the mainland!
What's more, although this ancient black mech stood there majestically, its sword-holding figure had the aura to look down on the world and see the gods beheading the gods, just like the legendary giant who created the world.And although the sword edge in the giant's hand was frozen in mid-air, Mu Yun could completely imagine the thunderous thunder of that sword falling from the sky!
However, when Mu Yun wanted to get closer and appreciate the details of this ancient heavy mech, he was even more shocked to find that this mech seemed to be integrated with the knight's soul, exuding a majestic murderous aura The pure black mecha, the surface of the fuselage is not made of alloy, but covered with a thick layer of oxidized bronze!
This ancient mech, which looks murderous and looks like it will fly up at any time, is actually a statue made of bronze!Even the ground under the mecha's feet was faintly glowing black, and it was actually covered with a layer of bronze!
Suddenly seeing such a huge bronze statue in the underground of the dead castle, Mu Yun was a little confused, but not too surprised: after all, the people who built this dead castle seemed to have a strong desire to express themselves, and wanted to enter the dead castle Everyone knows the magnificent history of this castle. They have seen a lot of murals on the columns and columns along the way. It seems that such a statue that looks like a waste of time and money seems to be very suitable for Dead Castle. style of.
Thinking about the narrative murals that he had seen in the ground buildings of the Dead Castle, Mu Yun also wanted to find out if there were any explanatory words or patterns near the sculpture, but found nothing.Su Sheng, on the other hand, realized that the "giant" that had frightened him tremblingly was just a statue, so he lifted up his spirits and said, "Seeing this statue, I can be sure of one thing - that is the death of the dead castle." The master's face must not look very good!"
"Huh?" Mu Yun didn't grasp Su Sheng's escaping thoughts at all, and didn't understand how it could be seen from this statue that the owner of the dead castle didn't look good back then?But Su Sheng said in a straightforward manner: "Look at this statue, it is a heavy mecha comparable to our current [-]-ton special mecha. Is it something that ordinary people can handle? We saw so many broken mechas along the way. There isn't even a tattered and unlucky mech that is that big, right? To be able to control such a unique and big guy must be the lord of a castle!
"Think about it again, if the lord of this castle wants to make a portrait of himself, a life-sized one, wouldn't that be much easier and less troublesome than a mecha-sized one?" Su Sheng continued, "But He just wants to waste money and money to come up with such a big guy who can scare people to death! It shows that the owner of this dead castle has no confidence in his own dignity. The reputation of Dead Castle... That's why I would rather spend hundreds of times more to build a statue of my mecha to establish my own tall image! Tell me, is this the truth?"
"Well, it makes sense..." Mu Yun nodded, but felt that something was wrong, "Which owner spent a lot of money to erect a portrait of himself, and then put it in his basement?"
"This... maybe people are not satisfied with this statue, so they simply put it in the basement, and don't want to be seen by others!" Su Sheng scratched his head, trying to find some faults with this statue, but this statue is also really exquisite, and it is really worthless. The thorns can be picked, otherwise Mu Yun would not have regarded it as a real mech in the first place.Su Sheng was at a loss for words for a while, and said forcefully, "He is so rich and self-willed, isn't it?"
"Hehe," Li Jing looked up at the statue of the ancient mecha, as if he was deaf to the dispute between Mu Yun and Su Sheng, finally retracted his gaze at this moment, and said, "Let's not talk about why this statue appears here, if If I'm not mistaken, this ancient heavy armor should be the Black Wind Profound Armor of the legendary Dragon Slayer Knight Huang Quan. As for the legendary knight himself, he was handsome and suave before his disfigurement. "
"Wow, boss, you actually recognize this mech!" Su Sheng had an expression of admiration on his face, "Then what dragon slayer knight... Are you familiar with this handsome guy?"
"This handsome guy is an ancient man from thousands of years ago, how could he be very familiar with him as a teacher!" Li Jing was speechless when he heard Su Sheng's words, "I said, Dragon Slaying Knight Huang Quan is also recorded in "Knight's Travel Record" Heifengxuanjia is the No. 30 and third-ranked armor in the "Shen Bing Lu", you don't know anything about it?"
"Dragon Slaying Knight..." Mu Yun tried hard to remember. "Knight's Walking Record", which can be called a knight's textbook-level masterpiece, Mu Yun naturally had no chance to get in touch with it in the past, except not long ago, Li Jing sharpened his gun in front of the battle and forced him to read the chapter "Wu Bei Lu" in 5 minutes. He really didn't know anything about what the "Knight's Travel Record" talked about except the chapter on the law.But back then in the White Horse Barracks, Mu Yun often squeezed around the bonfire and secretly drank the wine of those veterans, listening to them sing the legendary stories of knights who once dominated the mainland with their hoarse voices and out of tune tunes.Therefore, the name Dragon Slaying Knight is no stranger to Mu Yun.
"This dragon slaying knight is not a person or an organization, but a group of knights who don't know each other." In my memory, the one-legged veteran in the White Horse Barracks was sitting by the campfire, drinking and burning knives while using hoarse voices. The voice said, "At that time, there were evil dragons on the Pangu Continent. The evil dragons climbed up from the sea, invaded human territories, and destroyed many villages. Countless people died in the belly of the evil dragons. The venom turned the land they crawled into a wasteland. So there was a group of dragon slaying knights. Although they didn't know each other, they all vowed to drive the dragon back to the sea. They each guarded the land Each of them fought against the evil dragons again and again at each of the pass fortresses, and each killed one after another the evil dragons that came ashore. Until the evil dragons no longer dared to approach the mainland, they only dared to stay in the depths of the sea honestly. This group of dragon slaying knights is guarding this continent with heroic battles...
"Among this group of dragon-slaying knights, the most heroic and skilled fighter is Huang Quan. He controls a huge Black Wind Profound Armor, and uses a long sword named Zhiyan to guard the Nether Gate of the Eastern Continent." In Mu Yun's memory, the one-legged veteran in the White Horse Barracks was particularly excited when he talked about the Netherworld Knight, gesticulating with the crutch in his hand, "That black wind armor is enough to fight against hurricanes in the sea, and that scorching flame The sword can even steam the sea water, and it can cut a path in the sea! This knight named Huang Quan guarded the Nether Pass for ten years by himself! The dragon he killed was in the Nether Pass. Under the cliff, the white bones piled up one after another, turning into a small island of keel, which is called 'Dragon Buried Bones'.
"On the top of the 'Dragon Buried Bones', the largest skeleton is a one-eyed old dragon. It is said that when Huang Quan was a handsome young man, this old dragon who lived hundreds of years suddenly wanted to come to the shore to breathe. , destroyed a dozen fishing villages near the sea in one go, and even the fiancée of the Knight of Huangquan died in the belly of the dragon. The flaming sword blinded the old dragon in one eye, but was still slipped away by the cunning old dragon. Even the two companions of the Netherworld Knight were killed by the old dragon and sank into the sea.
"Later, in the ten years that the Netherworld Knight guarded the Nether Pass, he encountered this cunning one-eyed old dragon nine times and fought with it nine times. Those battles were compiled into ballads. At the time of this old dragon, he had changed from a handsome boy to a man covered in scars, and his handsome face was also disfigured by the dragon's venom. Just like the old dragon, only his face remained. One eye, only two holes left for the nose, no lips, and can't even speak clearly.
"The Knight of the Underworld and the one-eyed old dragon fought in the sea for seven days and seven nights, and the people waited for seven days and seven nights on the shore. They could only see the rolling waves, but they did not know where the Knight of the Underworld was, nor whether he was still alive. The seventh day At dawn, people saw a raging fire suddenly burning in the sea, the fire went straight to the sky, turned into a bright red morning glow, and the morning glow fell into the sea again, and the sea water became blood red. At this time, the sea was divided into two halves , revealing the Black Wind Profound Armor of the Underworld Knight, holding the long sword in one hand and dragging the dragon's body in the other, he walked all the way to the shore, and then fell down exhausted.
"The corpse of the one-eyed old dragon occupied a radius of several miles. The residents of the nearby villages all came. They didn't know what the Netherworld Knight was doing to drag the old dragon ashore. After the Netherworld Knight woke up, he raised the flame, A sword split the old dragon's stomach, and countless corpses rolled out of the old dragon's stomach. The mother found the long-lost child, and the grandson saw the grandfather he had never met. Countless screams rang out from hundreds of miles away. cries.
"The Knight of Huangquan opened the Black Wind Profound Armor and came out. People were scared out of their wits by his ugly face, and they gave way to him one after another. He passed through the crowd, walked into the belly of the dragon, and took out a There is a skeleton in a wedding dress, with long seaweed growing on the skull, and a necklace of gemstones hanging around its neck, which is the token given to his fiancée by the Knight of the Underworld."
After the one-legged veteran from the White Horse Barracks finished telling the story of the Dragon Slayer Knight Huang Quan, he hummed while drinking soju.Mu Yun still remembers the starry sky in the Northwest desert and the desolate singing beside the bonfire: One sword cuts through the vastness, the raging sea is my way; Ten years of loneliness, listening to that song, imagining the raging sea that he had never seen before, the heroic spirit of that sword piercing the boundless, involuntarily boiling his blood, as if the burning knife that he drank secretly burned all the way to his chest inside……
Now looking up at this majestic sculpture of the Black Wind Profound Armor, Mu Yun seemed to hear the song sung by the one-legged veteran in the White Horse Barracks by the bonfire again, and a feeling of blood boiled spontaneously again. Li Jing's casual voice came to his ears, as if he was explaining the legend of the dragon slaying knight Huang Quan to Su Sheng, "...so, the knight of Huang Quan broke the dragon's belly with his sword at that time. It's not his fiancée's remains, but the priceless amethyst..."
This guy really can ruin the atmosphere... Mu Yun rolled his eyes.He is no longer the kid in the northwest desert who likes to sit by the bonfire and listen to the veterans chatting. Naturally, he also knows that legends are just legends after all. There have been such heroes, it is better to say that people's inner yearning and desire for such heroes.
Therefore, the ancient ballad will not mention that the dragons killed by the dragon slaying knights are actually crystal beasts that can produce amethyst in their bodies.If Mu Yun hadn't been standing in the Fortress of Death at this moment, I'm afraid he wouldn't have imagined that the Netherworld knight who had a deep hatred for the evil dragon tamed the evil dragon he hated most underground to collect amethysts...
Perhaps real heroes exist only in legends.Mu Yun looked up at the huge statue, but he couldn't find the blood-boiling feeling just now in his heart.He felt ridiculous for himself, and he felt sorry for those children who believed in those heroic legends as he did naively and swore to become knights under the inspiration of those heroic legends: I am afraid they never realized that those legends Knights are all nobles. If it wasn't for the Knight of Huangquan who is the lord of the city and has a prominent noble status, how can he have such a precious armor like the Black Wind Profound Armor?
Mu Yun once owned a [-]-ton heavy mecha, but that was in exchange for the bad luck of the destruction of Baima City.What's more, even though he was driving the armor Zephyr back then, no one was willing to truly admit that he was a knight.There are many children born like him. They grew up listening to the heroic legends of various knights, and longed to become the heroes in the stories.But when they grow up, they will realize how unrealistic the dream of becoming a knight is: the money they earn in their lives may not even be able to afford a piece of mecha leg armor.
Mu Yun suddenly realized that compared with the Black Wind Profound Armor represented by this statue, even compared with the special type of mecha they used to drive, the zero-type mecha they are driving now is so crude.He glanced at Li Jing's direction. This guy is also a nobleman. Although he deliberately behaved like a commoner, it still can't change his status as a nobleman. How did he adapt to all this... Mu Yun let himself stop thinking about it . "Why do you think this statue is here?" He asked as calmly as possible, but it was still difficult to take his nostalgic gaze away from the statue.
"It's hard to say." Li Jing shook his head lightly, and Armor Wuming responded to his actions, "The situation here is too weird." He was silent for a moment, the flames ignited by the blasting bombs had gradually weakened, and now Only the remaining fire was burning on the ground, and the huge statue gradually sank into the darkness.
He asked Su Sheng, "How did you find this statue just now?"
"Fire." Su Sheng said, "There was a flash of fire just now. I only saw the shadow of this statue. I thought it was a giant. I was shocked!"
"This is not right." Mu Yun frowned, and said to Li Jing, "Since this Black Wind Profound Armor is just a statue, it naturally won't move, let alone emit fire, where did the fire that Su Sheng saw just now come from? "
"It seems that even in the world of the dead, there will be people who are unwilling to be lonely." Li Jing squinted his eyes and looked around the darkness around him. The nameless battle armor rotated with his movements, not only on the head, but also on the shoulders. muzzle—
"Got you!"
Accompanied by Li Jing's shout, the last blasting shell shot out from the armor's nameless shoulder cannon, but it was thrown behind the statue in an arc!Hearing angry hissing in the darkness, a huge black figure rushed out. It was the iron spider that fell into the underground cemetery from the ground before!
"Someone!" The sharp-eyed Su Sheng called out first, and Mu Yun also saw that there was a small white figure sandwiched between the front claws of the iron spider.It was a scavenger wearing white armor, maybe he fell with the iron spider, but for some reason, the explosive bag on his body was missing, maybe it was cut off by the iron spider's pincers, which saved him. However, he also became the prey of the iron spider.
I want to save him.Mu Yun thought to himself.It's a silly idea.They've all run out of explosive bombs, and even lost his thermal saber.Facing such an iron spider, they had better turn around and run now.The guy hanging on the iron spider's claws might have died long ago, and the fire he lit just now might have been trying to call for help, but now he just hangs there lifelessly, swinging his limbs feebly in the air.
Control your emotions, don't let your emotions control you.What Li Jing said to him not long ago echoed in his mind again.Deep down in his heart, he knew that Li Jing was right. Heroes only exist in legends, and no one can achieve miracles with just blood.
The dragon slaying knights hunted down the evil dragons to get the amethyst in exchange for the castle and the black wind armor. Only in this way can they continue to guard the coastline and protect the coastal villages.Li Jing also made capturing the Amethyst the top priority of the trip, only in this way could they have money to change equipment, buy food, and go further.It's all realistic, and there's nothing wrong with it, it's just that he doesn't like it.
Perhaps he will never become a true knight.He quickly pressed the control panel, removed the metal dorsal compartment behind him, and threw it to Li Jing.
Perhaps he was still the ridiculously innocent young man by the bonfire in the White Horse Barracks. A sip of burning knife wine and a heroic elegy could make his blood boil.He squinted his eyes, calculating his charging distance and acceleration limit in front of the iron spider.
Perhaps a part of his heart will always be the scavenger running barefoot in the desert. At that time, a knight knelt down beside him and used his mech to block the explosion of landmines for him. .From that moment on, that knight planted a dream in his heart.
Until now, he has not given up on that dream——
Become a true knight and protect all those who cannot protect themselves!
If heroes only exist in legends, then let me change this reality!
He starts running, sprinting, powering up his leg thrusters to maximum power, and jumps.He is still not good at melee combat, even if he is good at melee combat, he still can't contain a huge iron spider with his bare hands.There were many mecha wrecks on the ground, and if he picked carefully, he might be able to find a usable weapon or two, but he was running out of time.The weapon he was looking at was in the hands of the statue of the Black Wind Profound Armor.It was just a long bronze sword, heavy enough and big enough, plus the gravitational acceleration formed by his sprinting and jumping...
The toes of the battle armor Zephyr landed on the knees of the statue.His hands reached the sword.He originally planned to use the weight of the mecha to knock the sword out of the statue's hand, but the sword slipped out of the statue's hand lightly by itself.The hilt of the sword slipped into the hands of the battle armor Xifeng, and the neuron sensor system made him feel the smooth and heavy texture.The long sword equipped with a forty-ton mech turned into a giant sword in his hands, and he needed both hands to hold the sword.Gravity dragged him down irresistibly, and he adjusted the operation mode in mid-air at a speed that was unbelievable even for himself, compressing, switching again, pushing, and jumping——
He grasped the rusty bronze greatsword with all his strength, and raised it above his head while breathing heavily.This sword does not have any skills, but the weight of this sword is enough to make an iron spider retreat, and the vibrating joints will force it to loosen its pincers.
After calculating everything, he let go and handed himself over to gravity, allowing the weight of the mech itself to become a part of the sword, falling straight down from the sky, and letting gravity take him to the target!
The clanging sound of metal impacts tore through the air, and the huge hiss spread like ripples centered on him and the iron spider to the surrounding dead world.The gravity of the impact, the bronze giant sword, and the weight of the armor Zephyr severely pressed the iron spider to the ground.This moment was shorter than a breath, but he felt that time seemed to be stagnant, so long that he could hear his heartbeat countless times.
Between every heartbeat he saw the black waves steaming, the sea split in two, the wings of the dragon writhing in the clouds.He heard the sound of countless swords clashing, the relics of the ancient battlefield revived before his eyes, and countless rusty and mottled battle armor stood up from the ground, fighting on the boundless land.He saw the wind in the northwest desert wrapping the yellow sand and dancing wildly, he saw billions of stars rising and falling at the same time, he saw the desert turning into an ocean, and he saw the creature as old as this continent in his dream looking down. He, opened his mouth to him—
Countless people who couldn't see their faces were roaring, and endless voices echoed in his mind.
The voice was so loud, the sound wave surged in his chest, as if it wanted to squeeze his heart out of his chest, forcing him to roar accordingly!
"Knight's Creed Sword of Mercy! - Break!"
Amidst the roar that pierced his eardrums, he saw the rusty bronze giant sword split open.The rusty metal surface cracked and fell off from the sword body, and rose up in the air as the giant sword fell, like a black butterfly that had turned into a butterfly and froze around the armor of Zephyr.
In the next second, a golden flame rose from the giant sword and spread to the entire body of the sword. The dazzling light like a burning star enveloped the giant sword, as if the entire underground space—the light in the entire universe— —all converged on this sword!
Immediately afterwards, the incomparably bright sword edge cut into the black armor of the iron spider, just like light tearing the darkness, the flames bursting out from the sword hissed, instantly cutting the iron spider in two!
The feet of the battle armor Xifeng fell to the ground again.Mu Yun's mind was still buzzing.His heart was beating wildly, and the hands holding the hilt of the sword couldn't help shaking.He didn't know what happened just now, and he didn't even understand what kind of words came out of his mouth.He felt that at that moment, he became a part of the sword, and it seemed that the sword became a part of himself, and he couldn't even feel the existence of the mecha.
At that moment, he was so light, like a spot of light splashed on the edge of the sword, a piece of stardust in the universe, time no longer had any effect on him, he could live through a person's life in one second For a lifetime, it seemed that the lives of countless people passed through his mind in that second.
Then all the real feeling came back.The real weight of the mech transmitted from the nerve sensor system overwhelmed him, and he fell to his knees, almost vomiting.He suppressed his nausea, and glanced at the giant sword that he used as a crutch.The sword body has become dull, but the copper rust on it is gone, the sword body is smooth, with a trace of blood streaks in the blackness.The iron spider that had been split in half was still in front of him, which proved that what happened just now was not his illusion.
"Good sword!" He heard Li Jing's voice, as if it came from a very far away place, "I don't know how you swung this sword... But this sword should be the real sword worn by the Netherworld Knight back then. The sword, that is, the legendary Burning Flame Sword!"
"I want to call it the Bright Sword." Mu Yun said.He didn't know how the name came to his mind, but he had a strange feeling: the history of this sword should be longer than the era of Dragon Knight.Perhaps it was the visions that the sword stirred up in his mind that gave him this feeling.
He now knew that the substance covering the sword was not bronze, but a biological metal disguised as bronze.He has never seen this kind of thing, but at the moment when the sword broke out of the cocoon, he could feel that it was a product of some kind of mechanical civilization era, something that is still alive today, and they once sealed this place. The sword lasted for thousands of years, but was completely burned by the flames in the sword at that moment.
He raised his head and looked at Heifeng Xuanjia again.This is not a statue.He can be sure.
The real Black Wind Profound Armor was hidden behind the bronze, sealed by those disguised biological metals for thousands of years, just like the bright sword in his hand.
Is there a way they can get it out?He shook his head, dismissing the idea.He didn't even understand what the Bright Sword was all about. Even if he could get out the Black Wind Profound Armor, it wouldn't be possible in a short while.He has more things to worry about right now...
He forced himself to stand up, and inserted the Bright Sword into the back of the battle armor Zephyr, the groove that was originally used to fix the metal back compartment.
When the bright sword hit the iron spider, the scavenger who was hanging on the claws was blown away.The small white body fell under the statue of Heifengxuanjia.Mu Yun walked out of the cockpit, and Wuming in the armor stood guard beside him.He squatted down and lifted up this limp body. The scavenger's petite body under the white armor looked like a child, which made him feel very bad.He broke the visor off the Scavenger's helmet with his hands, trying to make sure he was still breathing.Then he froze.
What was exposed under the mask was the face of a human girl with very white skin, like a piece of white paper, with delicate facial features drawn on it.The girl seemed to be still dizzy, her slender eyelashes flickering slightly, when she finally opened her eyes and met Mu Yun's gaze, Mu Yun saw red pupils shining in those cat-like eyes.
After being silent for a while, Mu Yun raised his head and greeted Li Jing, "Hey, come out and have a look!"
"This child... doesn't seem to be a human?"
