Global Advent: I Am Death

Chapter 157

The city is built next to the mountain, and the smoky volcano is adjacent to the city, which makes the urban environment under the mountain not very good.

The sky was gray even at its brightest, and the air was filled with the acrid smell of sulfur.

People here should have frequent respiratory diseases.

Inexplicable, Li Qi thought to himself.

I just don’t know why this kingdom built a city in such a place...

But now is not the time to focus on this.

Li Qi quickened his pace, led his followers along the unremarkable path, and walked into the arena made of marble and clay.

As soon as he walked in, he was slightly taken aback.

Although the arena at this time is not luxurious, it is much more splendid than later generations.

On the mound-like seats, every dozens of seats, there will be a giant snake-like metal statue, and even in the center of the arena, there is a snake-like statue several people high.

Seeing this, Li Qi realized that there was more than one statue cast by the king.

In the center of the arena, there is also a huge giant stone pillar, which is the tallest building in the entire arena.

A large number of people cheered for the competitors they supported and watched them engage in all kinds of wonderful battles in the arena.

At this time, there happened to be a competitor who won the battle. He stood on the podium excitedly, and a host excitedly told about his bravery, holding a crown of metal long snake coiled in his hand.

Li Qi had seen that crown before, and it looked almost the same as a pink quality secret treasure in later generations, but he didn't know if it was the same one.

"The totem gave them courage..." Li Qi felt as if he had thought of something in his heart, and couldn't help being a little dazed.

The attendant at the side whispered to Li Qi: "Respected king, congratulations, another outstanding warrior has been born, he will go to the sacred battlefield, fight for the kingdom, and kill those raging monsters!"

He suddenly thought of the necklace made of fragments of the bone mask on the priest's chest again, and he had some enlightenment in his heart.

At the same time, Li Qi also noticed that in the arena, there was no shortage of iron tools that were rarely seen outside. The armor worn by the competitors and the weapons in their hands were all shiny with metal.

In the eyes of the people, this arena is just an entertainment venue for selecting warriors, but in the hands of the king, it is used to train brave warriors who can resist the void!
With the cheers of the people and the weapons bestowed by the king, the brave men served the glorious statue firmly in their hearts, and then rushed to the battlefield.

Sure enough, things are not just one-sided.

In Wang Zifu's mouth, the king became a faint king who only knew how to enjoy himself, and completely ignored the life and death of his subjects.

But is this the case?

Li Qi thinks maybe not.

Priest Qiu'er said before that in the frontline battlefield, the most casualties are not caused by the false tide, but by the riots caused by being scared out of courage and trampled to death!
A powerful warrior not only needs to have a strong body and sharp weapons, but also needs to be matched with an invincible will!
And if you want to have the will to match force, the power of faith may be a good choice.

A kind of enlightenment came into Li Qi's heart. Combined with the memory of his previous life, he knew how powerful the power of faith is.

And the king, his real purpose is to forge the faith of the country!

If the faith is not destroyed, the country will not be destroyed!
In the void, there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at Li Qi, he suddenly felt something, raised his head and looked at those eyes, those deep eyes penetrated the obstacles of space, and conveyed Li Qi's perception to the past .

"Do you believe in..." A metallic voice came slowly, and then there was no life.

Li Qi shook his head and smiled, it seemed that the giant metal snake had also begun to think.

Since it still has doubts, then read on!

Li Qi turned around, he decided to go to the oven built in the crater to have a look.

This time, Li Qi had to rely on manpower to pull the cart.

He returned to the palace out of breath, only then did he realize that his body was already very old.

As a last resort, he waved for his attendants, picked up the trailer, and transported himself to the side of the volcano.

The huge oven was darkened by the smoke billowing volcano, but it couldn't conceal its majestic appearance.

A kind of understanding came into Li Qi's heart, here is where the second section of the metal snake is located!

Standing beside the oven, Priest Qiuer, who had disappeared long ago, came back at some point.

"My lord, time is running out..."

Priest Qiu'er took out a crystal clear round gemstone in his hand and handed it to the king.

Li Qi took the ball and couldn't help being a little dazed.

There was an unknown emotion in his heart. He obviously didn't really exist in this world, but he had an inexplicable sense of mission.

The king slowly crossed the oven, came to the edge of the hot volcano, and finally saw the true face of the giant snake.

The giant snake winds up along the inner wall of the volcano, and the raised head of the snake is facing the approaching king.

The aged king stepped up to the still-hot metal snake head, not even caring about the sizzling of his feet.

As he walked solemnly, the skin on the soles of his feet was torn off, and the same hot blood flowed down the wound, leaving mysterious lines on the snake's head.

Coming to the center of the snake's head, the king steadily placed the gemstone emitting a faint aura in his hand into the groove that had been prepared.

boom! ! !
Suddenly, the entire volcano trembled violently, as if it had come alive directly.

The king was unsteady on his feet, stumbled backwards, and fell off the snake's head.

Priest Qiuer appeared in an instant and helped the king up. The attendants around him didn't know what happened, and ran in all directions in panic.

But from Li Qi's perspective, it was a different scene.

After the gemstone was placed, the erupting volcano seemed to be suppressed by something, and angrily impacted on the giant snake blocking the exit.

Under this huge thrust, the giant snake seemed to come alive. It meandered and slowly rose, and it actually emerged directly from the volcano!

The serpent stretched out half of its body, covering the sky above the volcano!

But the gemstone on the top of the giant snake's head burst into dazzling light, and the dark sky covered by volcanic ash was pierced by the light!
The vibration of the volcano gradually returned to calm, and the scattered attendants recovered from their panic.

They looked at the volcano that had changed greatly, and couldn't help kneeling down and bending over the ground.

"A miracle...a miracle!" the attendants muttered, looking at the snake statue with eyes full of admiration.

Li Qi felt that the heavy air seemed to be a lot lighter, and he couldn't help but look at the giant snake above his head in surprise.

That gem actually has the effect of purifying the environment.

At this time, half of the giant snake protruded from the volcano, and under the arena at the foot of the mountain, the tall giant pillar that originally stood in the center of the arena peeled off its original shell under the vibration, revealing the appearance of a metal snake tail.
