Chapter 47: The Throne
Dong Xiaowei asked, "What are you talking about?"
I subconsciously blurted out, "Is the thing that controls the samurai in the cave or ......not?"
"You'll have to look for it when you're not there. Dong Xiaowei replied in a deep voice, "If you don't look for it, you will never have an answer." β
While Dong Xiaowei was speaking, an angry shout suddenly came from Ye Xun's direction, and I turned around suddenly, but I saw that Ye Xun had turned into a long knife like a cold red and slashed past the back of the samurai. The opponent's head was slashed into the air by the sword, and the headless warrior rushed five steps away with his long sword before falling to the ground. Ye Xun, who was physically exhausted, also knelt on one knee with a long knife in his hand, his face pale and gasping for breath.
The rest of the Wu warriors crossed Changge at the same time and advanced in the direction of Ye Xun.
Dong Xiaowei roared loudly: "All stand up and fight them one by one." β
As soon as the other party gave the order, someone immediately jumped down from the high platform, pulled out a machete from his backpack and pointed it at the approaching Wu warrior. The latter quickly stepped forward, threw away Changge, took off his armor, drew his sword out of its sheath and pointed at the other party, and Ye Xun took the opportunity to retreat to the platform.
Dong Xiaowei looked at the arena below the platform: "We will delay time for you as much as possible, you hurry up and find a way to control the Wu clan warriors." β
I don't need Dong Xiaowei to say it, I know what to do. From the beginning of her people's fate, a question was rapidly circling in my mind, that is, what method did the Chu people who occupied Fuxian Lake use to replace the gods at that time.
The pictures on the bronze tripod clearly carry the meaning of the replacement of the old and the new theocracy. Now that the new gods have been established, the old gods will inevitably be suppressed, and the throne, which originally symbolized divine power and royal power, should not continue to represent the supreme authority. This is just like after the change of dynasty, the new emperor will not wear the dragon robe of the deceased king, even if the rock throne cannot be moved, the new king will build another throne.
Suddenly, I looked up at the back of the throne, and there was an oval-shaped rock rising from the rock wall, which seemed to be pressed against the throne from the position.
"Hold on, I'll go up and see. I threw down a few words and quickly climbed up the rocks. Before I could reach the edge of the rock, I heard a scream in the distance.
In less than half a minute, Dong Xiaowei's subordinate was cut in half by the Wu Clan's warrior's slanted shoulder. The Wu warrior walked quickly to the corpse, cut off the human head with a horizontal sword, held it high above the top, and stood back in place after a circle around the field.
I couldn't help but gasp. The man who went down just now was not weak, but he didn't hold on for even a minute before he was beheaded by the other party. How long can Dong Xiaowei's subordinates delay?
Dong Xiaowei said unusually calmly: "Go on." Change people with good hands and go down, don't fight with them, and fight as much as possible. β
One shouted angrily: "Eight, you go down! Take the guy, if necessary......"
"Shut up!" Dong Xiaowei said coldly, "I'm asking you to delay time, not to let you cause a full-scale fight." β
"But ......" No. 1 hesitated, Dong Xiaowei had already said in a deep voice: "You are all dead, I will personally end up desperate." Before I die, you will have to obey my commands. β
No. 1 gritted his teeth and shouted: "No. 8, go down! It won't take more than ten minutes, be careful of your whole family." β
By the time Eight jumped off the platform without saying a word, I had climbed onto the rocks with my hands and feet. But before I could stand firmly, I felt a "click" sound under my feetβthe rock, which was large enough for two people to stand side by side, could not bear my weight, and countless cracks exploded in an instant. My feet sank down, and I almost stepped into the rocks.
I didn't have time to think about anything, so I got up and jumped off the platform. As soon as my feet hit the ground, my ankles made a crisp sound, and the sharp pain in my heart suddenly set off a layer of cold sweat on my body.
Before I could see what was going on with my ankles, large pieces of stone crust fell from the top of my head. I could clearly hear the rocks falling from the top of my head, and I tried to dodge but was too late, so I had to hold the back of my head with both hands, crouch on the ground and shrink into a ball.
The rocks carrying the wind instantly slapped on my body, and I only felt my whole body slammed into the ground, and my eyes were so dark that I almost fainted. When I got up from the ground with Venus in my eyes, I found that all I was scattered around me were broken stone skins.
Got it?
What I stepped on was not a rock, but a layer of eggshell-like stone wrapped around some object, and behind the stone skin should be the real secret of the Shark Palace.
In ecstasy, I turned around and climbed up, and the first thing I saw was the skeleton of a ghost-faced mackerel that was several meters wide.
Shark King, this is the real Shark King. Each bone carries the domineering shark king from the wilderness, and although the two fangs that are as straight as a sword are scarred, they show its supreme record and majesty in dominating Fuxian Lake.
But this flood overlord was not only cut off by his life, but also hung that invincible head on the rock wall.
No, the man who slew the Shark King was not only using his head to show off his achievements, but also made his head into a throne.
The bones on the center of the shark king's eyebrows have been torn off a piece of life, and a bronze seat has been placed on top of it, and the bones of the shark king's upper lip have been completely smoothed, and the lower jaw has been added with a cushion. When the king sits down, he can just hold the fangs of the shark king and step on the shark king's jaw to show his supreme authority.
This is the real throne.
I finally understood what Chen Mingyu and the bronze tree they got meant: the guards standing under the bronze tree were actually this group of Wu warriors, and the ghost-faced shark behind them was the shark king in front of me, that is, the god guarded by the Wu warriors. The key to being able to control the Wu warriors lies in the skeleton of the Shark King.
Not long after the Skeleton Throne appeared in front of my eyes, the Wu warriors who were still watching the battle suddenly went berserk in an instant, and rushed towards the high platform with a long song. No. 8, who was still fighting alone with his opponent, was instantly dismembered by the samurai who had surrounded him, and the rest of the samurai stepped on No. 8's flying flesh and rushed wildly.
Dong Xiaowei said sharply: "Open fire, beat them back!"
When No. 1 led people to raise their guns and shoot wildly at the opponent, the giant python that had been dormant also crossed the pool of blood at this moment, rushed towards the high platform, and in the blink of an eye, it broke through the enemy group, twisted its snake body and swept towards the Wu warrior. The warriors of the Wu Clan, who had been invincible just now, immediately staggered under the impact of the giant python. The crazy python didn't have the slightest scruple to turn over and kill the witch warrior who was killing him, and rushed straight to the top of the high platform.
Its target is also the Shark Throne?
As soon as this thought flashed through my mind, the samurai who had wanted to storm the throne suddenly turned back to kill the giant python, wielding a long sword and broadsword to entangle with it. Only three of the Witch warriors remained on their original course, resisting the rain of bullets that rushed into the crowd.
"Kill-" Dong Xiaowei drew his sword and rose up, took the lead and rushed to the opponent and shouted: "Wang Huan, why don't you go over and snatch the throne?"
I also shouted, "Give me the witch elixir and the golden mask, hurry!"
Dong Xiaowei swung two swords in a row before shouting, "No. 1 give him something." β
No. 1, who was fighting with his opponent, also responded: "No! If Wang Huan is allowed to control the Wu Clan warriors, we will all die without a place to be buried!"
Dong Xiaowei was furious: "This is an order! If you dare to disobey again, be careful of your head!"
No. 1 was stunned for a moment, and as if he had made up his mind, he grabbed two jars of secret medicine from the bronze tripod and ran towards me quickly. I was about to reach out to pick up the other person's things, but Number One grabbed my wrist like electricity, pulled me into his arms, and put a gun against my head: "Don't move!"
Dong Xiaowei was shocked: "What do you want to do?"
No. 1 took me back step by step, and said in a deep voice: "Miss, before I came, the master told me that if necessary, I can not listen to your orders, or even abandon the task, everything is mainly to protect your safety. I think it's a very moment. β
"Nonsense!" Dong Xiaowei didn't know whether it was excessive energy consumption or anger, and his pretty face became extremely pale: "How do I decide, naturally I have my reason, when will it be your turn to be the master?"
One said as he walked, "If your decision is correct, I will spare no effort to carry it out, but now I must not follow your orders." You let Wang Huan snatch the throne, and once he controls the Wu warriors, the next target will be us. 'Don't put your life in the hands of others at any time' is the rule of the Demon Gate's survival, didn't the master tell you?"
Dong Xiaowei slashed at his opponent with several swords in a row and said sharply: "Let you ascend the throne, can you control the Wu clan warriors?"
No. 1 said confidently: "Wang Huan is in my hands, I don't believe he is not afraid of death." Besides, isn't Ye Xun also under our control?"
Ye Xun was also fighting with his opponent, and it was difficult for him to come over for reinforcements when he was too busy to take care of himself. Taking a step back, even if Ye Xun can break out of the encirclement, it is impossible to snatch me from No. 1. Moreover, there is an even more powerful Dong Xiaowei near Ye Xun.
Dong Xiaowei was silent for a few seconds before he said, "Okay, you take Wang Huan up." If you can't control the situation, you don't have to come down. β
No. 1 breathed a sigh of relief: "My subordinates must do their best." β
No. 1 changed his cautious attitude, reached out and grabbed my arm, and dragged me near the throne: "Say, what should I do now?"
I looked at each other coldly and said, "Drink the secret medicine, put on the golden mask, sit on the throne, and then you can go and see if you can control those witch warriors." β
Without hesitation, Number One opened the medicine bottle: "Take it and do as you say." β
I said in a deep voice, "Aren't you afraid that I will control the warriors of the Wu Clan, how dare you let me ascend the throne now?"
