Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 94 Crisis (Two in One)

The vortex swirled on the surface of the transparent shell, and the high-pressure air leaked from the Mance oxygen cylinder quickly filled the bubble-like space.

There seemed to be an invisible wind in Mance's hand. Wherever he touched, the wet bronze wall immediately became dry, and a large piece of patina was peeled off, revealing a new blue-black metal surface.

The ferocious face became clearer. It turned out that what was in his mouth was not fangs, but burning firewood. Just now, it was copper rust that blocked the flame of the firewood.

It was a strange painting, so lifelike, so full of pain and regret, that one could not help thinking that if a person was burned to death alive, it would be this expression.

"Baby, it's your turn." Mance took the key out carefully, holding the baby's chubby arms with both hands, and passed under his armpit.

The baby was not crying, his eyes were burning with golden pupils, he looked only a few months old, he had a pacifier in his mouth, and there was sparse lanugo hair on his head, but he was such a child, but his face was like that of a gangster. Solemn and solemn.

It's a pity that there is no baby gangster killer Reborn in a suit in this world, only a key burning with dragon's blood.

The baby stared at the face, slowly stretched out his small hand, and put his fingers on the forehead of the human face.

The metal protrusion pierced the baby's tender skin, and the blood spread from between the eyebrows, along the wrinkles soaked in the face.

In an instant, that face was distorted, from pain to joy, the deep milk sound came from the baby's mouth, Ye Sheng reached out to catch the pacifier, the bronze wall buzzed and vibrated.

The baby's blood flowed into the mouth of the bronze human face, and the dead thing seemed to come alive, sucking the blood forcefully, but the baby's expression was as solemn as a martyr's, and there was no expression of ordinary babies crying when their mother disappeared. , and even put the other hand on the bronze face, as if to kiss the mouth of the face.

Mance hurriedly stopped this dangerous and frightening act, picked up the key, and Aki Jiude took out a hemostatic bandage and tied the key's injured finger.

All the blood flowed into the mouth of the human face. After a moment of silence, the human face slowly opened its mouth, and the sound of metal tearing came from the depths of the bronze wall. The mouth slowly parted, turning into a deep well in the shape of a square.

A dark passage appeared above the bronze human face, enough for an adult to pass through.

The baby looked at his fingers, as if he realized that he was injured, and the crystal tears pooled in his eyes. Ye Sheng stuffed the pacifier back and blocked the baby's mouth.

"This is the passage." Professor Mance put the baby back into the diving suit, and took the old oxygen cylinder replaced by Ye Sheng and Jiude Yaji.

"Living, Norton's masterpiece, kills the material itself with extreme flames, and then accommodates the spirit and soul of the living. It is the guardian of the Bronze City. Only high-purity dragon blood can temporarily satisfy it."

Mansla put on his diving mask and held up two fingers: "You only have about 2 hours, and the living channel will be closed. You must complete the task before then."

"Probably?" Ye Sheng said, "Can you be more precise, this is the Dragon King's palace, no one knows how dangerous it is inside."

"Then don't discuss it with me, hurry up." Mance said: "I will close the clean place, and after the water fills the channel, you can swim in."

"Be careful not to let your lifeline break. It's not time for Norton to wake up. As long as you don't touch the mechanism, the danger will not be too great." Mance inserted a steel fork in the muddy ground beside it, and there was a camera on it. , you can monitor the abnormality of the channel.

After speaking, the transparent protective cover slowly shrank, and the water flooded the bronze wall again. Mance gave a thumbs up and was slowly pulled up by the lifeline.

Ye Sheng and Jiu De Yaji jumped into the passage, one behind the other.

Mance turned over to the side of the boat, took off his fins and diving suit, and handed the baby to the luxurious woman.

"The life parameters are normal, the signal is normal, there are a lot of bronze statues, my God, is this the Dragon King's palace!" Selma sighed, and the real-time video sent by Ye Sheng and Jiu De Yaji was on the screen.

Fortunately, there is still a lot of air in the Bronze City. It is like a black box. It was not opened until just now to connect with the outside world.

The water flows down the channel, like a downward fountain, but the opening of the fountain is too small, and it will be impossible to fill the space in the Bronze City for a while.

"The oxygen content is normal." Ye Sheng looked at the report from the instrument, "It's very strange. It stands to reason that the thousands of years of oxidation and chemical reactions in the Bronze City are enough to exhaust the oxygen here. Is the instrument broken?"

"No, it works normally." Mance said: "This is the masterpiece of the Dragon King after all. Before entering, no one knows what it puts here. Don't forget your mission, don't pay attention to other things, and , don't take off the mask."

"Understood." Ye Sheng and Jiu De Yaji walked forward cautiously.

Huge metal discs appeared on the screen, one, two, three.
The discs bite together, and people can't help admiring its exquisite design and beauty, because these discs are actually huge gears.

"Really, it's too grand." Ye Sheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, as if a giant connected to the sky stood in front of him. These huge gears, like tall buildings, were nothing more than gears in a clockwork in the hands of the giant. Fine parts.

Anyone who sees this scene will marvel at its grandeur.

A bronze palace, a palace does not need these sophisticated crafts, what is Norton's purpose in making the palace?Why did it come here from northern Europe across the Eurasian continent?
Many mysteries emerged, but no one could answer them except the Dragon King himself.

Ye Sheng and Jiu De Yaji walked forward, and a huge cavity like a round egg that was submerged in water appeared in front of them.

The water submerged half of the round egg, which was very clear, like crystal, and the cavity on the top of the head was engraved with ancient patterns, which were mysterious and ancient. Aki Shude quickly took out a high-definition camera to take pictures.

The photo was then sent to the Moniach. This is Long Wen, a never-before-discovered Long Wen.

"Bonus!" Mance clenched his right fist.

Yaji Jiude and Ye Sheng captured the patterns on the dome with cameras, and sent back all the photos.

"Beautiful, continue to explore, your oxygen can last for 1 hour and 14 minutes, remember the time." Mance said excitedly.

"Yes." Jiude Yajiya and Ye Sheng said in unison.

When I received this answer, suddenly, the picture on the screen turned into white flowers, and there was a loud electronic noise.

"Captain! Ya Ji and Ye Sheng's signal lines have been cut off! We can't contact them!"

"What happened! Is the channel closed early!"

"No, the video display channel is normal!"

"Pull the lifeline!"

"The lifeline was cut along with the signal line!"

Inside the bronze giant egg, Ye Sheng used the snake again.

He was detecting the location of Norton's eggs, and Yaki Shude was by his side, escorting him.

Invisible snakes swam out of his surroundings. Under the good conductor of bronze, the snake moved faster and spread rapidly towards the palace.

In Ye Sheng's induction, the group of snakes drew a three-dimensional image for him. This palace is like a huge precision instrument, and various organs are combined to form this super metal box.

There are never-before-seen alchemy patterns in many places, and the level of craftsmanship is so fine that Ye Sheng feels that this is a handicraft that needs to be carved and designed in units of a hundred years.

The snake searched for the egg-shaped thing everywhere, but found nothing. The city was dead and silent, and hideous and living faces could be seen everywhere.

Ye Sheng concentrated his energy and carefully observed the information returned by each snake, finally allowing him to discover the abnormality.

There is a place where all the snakes do not swim past as if deliberately avoiding it. It seems that there is a monarch who cannot be disturbed hidden there. Once the anger of the monarch is touched, the snakes will be wiped out.

Ye Sheng retracted all the snakes, only controlled one, and swam towards the deep water at the bottom of the giant egg.

However, the snake is breaking free from Ye Sheng's shackles and fleeing to another place. This is an unusual situation that has never happened before. The snake lives in the depths of Ye Sheng's consciousness and is his loyal servant. bred out.

His orders were absolute to the snake, but at this moment, something crossed his authority, and without even giving an order, it let the snake break free from his control.

There is no doubt that the probability of hiding the dragon king's egg there has risen sharply.

"I think I've found Norton." Ye Sheng opened his eyes, and stood up with the help of Jiu De Ya Ji.

"Where is it?" Aki Shutoku asked.

"It's far away in the sky, but it's close in front of us." Ye Sheng pointed at the bottom of the giant egg lake.

"Is there anything unusual?"

"There is no sign of awakening. Although the snake is fleeing, it is just a spontaneous instinctive behavior. It has nothing to do with Norton. It should be caused by the suppression of the bloodline."

"Okay, then let's take Norton's eggs back, and the task will be completed." Aki Yakuto breathed a sigh of relief, the task process was easier than she thought, "Norma just recommended me a family 'Langmei Food Stall' has a high rating, and I want to try the crayfish with Thirteen Fragrances."

"When did you ask?"

"When Lu Mingfei was talking about treating guests, Norma sent a lot of pictures. I looked at it several times and finally chose this one."

"I want to report to Professor Mance that you are not serious about your mission."

"Then I will go to dinner alone with Lu Mingfei, and you can talk to the professor about the progress of the task by yourself."

"Just kidding, I don't want to be alone with the old man, his face is harder than iron, I will suffocate to death."

"You dare to speak ill of Professor Mance, you are screwed." Aki Jiude chuckled.

"Forgive me this time." Ye Sheng pulled the lifeline firmly.

The voice in the earphones was temporarily quiet. The professor and the others should be busy processing the dragon texts, which are very precious information. The energy and money spent on this operation are already worth the energy and money for these dragon texts alone.

"Let's go, I can't wait to eat Lu Mingfei's wallet."

Jiude Yaji and Ye Sheng dived into the water, and they knew what the other was trying to do with just one look. This was a tacit understanding.

"After this mission is over" Aki Shutoku opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

"What?" Ye Sheng was still concentrating on manipulating the snake. He left a snake on the shore to guard against it. It wouldn't cost him too much energy to become a useless person who couldn't control himself, but it would distract him a lot.

"It's nothing, I saw the sculpture." Aki Shude pointed down.

Two bronze sculptures with snake faces and human bodies are holding spears and standing at the bottom, as if guarding something. The appearance is like the Naga often seen in Western fantasy stories, and there are similar creatures in Chinese mythology.

Behind the sculpture is an egg, an egg with a metal shell, the egg is contained in a brass can, and the snake frantically warns against the egg.

"That should be Norton's egg." Ye Sheng and Jiu De Yaji accelerated towards the egg.

The moment they were about to get close to the egg, the eyes of the snake-faced statue glowed red.

The eyes of the snakefaces are pure silver, and the bronze embroidered hide peels off their exteriors, and they come to life!Swing the spear in his hand and stab the two of them!

Jiude Yaji has trained many times, and of course she will not sit still. She drew out the jackknife at her waist and slashed at the snake-faced man's face. Ye Sheng pulled out a Russian-made SSP-1 water bottle modified by the equipment department. Lower the pistol and shoot at the snake-faced man.

They cooperated perfectly and had a tacit understanding. After the first round of attacks, they rolled backwards and opened a distance. Ye Sheng also pulled out his jackknife and slashed at the snake-faced man.

But suddenly there was a trance, and their knives deflected at an angle dangerously upwards.

Biting coldness penetrated from the bone marrow, and their knives almost cut on the necks of their task partners who had been together day and night.

Those two sculptures, didn't move at all, just stayed where they were.

Ye Sheng forced the snake to guide him, and smashed the sculpture's face with a pistol.

"That was the spirit vision just now?" Jiu De Yaji hugged Ye Sheng's tired and weak body.

"I'm afraid it is. We should have fallen into some kind of illusion." Ye Sheng felt his brain was going to explode, "I really didn't expect that it would be us who cut off our own way of life."

The deafening bell rang, like a bronze bell waking up a sleeping giant, the whole city began to vibrate, and this super organ city was activated.

The broken line of the lifeline floats upwards, like a broken kite line. The line can be retracted, but the kite will only fall from the air, and the bracket will fall to pieces, tearing the colorful kite skin together.

The snakes left on the shore were moving away from him, and all the snakes were frantically trying to escape, and great fear was forcing them to flee from their masters.

Ye Sheng hugged his head, clenched his teeth, and held each snake tightly.

The egg wall is composed of individual metal plates. After the sculpture is broken, these metal plates are turned over, and countless half-sculptures of snake-faced human figures appear. Looking up at the dome dome, a pilgrimage ceremony is held.

The clear and calm water shook violently, Jiu De Yaji took back the brass tank, but Ye Sheng, who was having a splitting headache, seemed to be a small boat in a storm, shaken by the rushing water.

Like a dolphin, Jiude Yaji shot at it like an arrow, and she released her high-pressure oxygen cylinder to help her sprint towards Ye Sheng.

Jiu De Yaji let go of the brass pot with both hands, and then hugged Ye Sheng's waist tightly.

"Go out first, I can use the snake to contact the boat." Ye Sheng hung the brass pot on his waist with a buckle, and the two had a perfect understanding.

The gas in the high-pressure oxygen cylinder has not been exhausted yet, Jiude Yaji and Ye Sheng are tightly pressed together, Ye Sheng's limbs are weak, and he is concentrating on manipulating the snake, and he trusts the girl beside him without reservation.

The girl didn't say a word, but showed her determination with actions.

I'll hold you tight, Shutoku Aki whispered in his heart.

When they swam to shore, the girl's oxygen tank was depleted and she had to remove her mask.

There was a stagnant, coppery, and cloudy smell in the air, which made people feel stuffy, and it was like a clogged iron block in the nose, but fortunately, there was no abnormal reaction.

The two ran out while pulling the lifeline, and as soon as they took a step, a huge bronze door closed the entrance of the dome.

The group of snakes finally calmed down and stopped trying to break free, but this does not mean that the situation has improved.

Because all the modules in the Bronze City are moving, this place has become an active maze, trapping outsiders in endlessly changing mechanisms.

The ringing of bells, the clinking of gears, and the obscure sound of metal friction resounded through the Bronze City, like a noisy market, but Ye Shengduo hoped that this ancient city would be as dead and silent as before.

　Thanks for the 100 dots rewarded by "Nianwan Zhongyi", and the 100 dots rewarded by "Add more dots"
　　------

　　What Norton's Bronze City is used for, 1-3 didn't mention it, but I don't think it's a weapon, otherwise it should be used in the final battle at the end of 1.
