Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Twelve Bronze Men
οΌ
Standing on top of the Gobi, Zixu is still struggling to support.
Half an hour is a long time.
The fear and smell of decay that permeated the air, in fact, Zixu was now gradually in a state of numbness, and he couldn't feel the situation around him clearly.
The claws and hooked tails of the scorpions pierce the skin, and the venom seeps in in a circle, and there is always a torment that is far more frightening than death.
This...... I guess that's what the owner of the door meant.
In the cocoon wrapped in the yin seed, countless limbs slid on Zixu's face, he closed his eyes, venom flowed from his cheeks, and a scorpion went down Zixu's forehead.
Severe pain.
It was as if the brain had been pricked with a needle.
Do you want to give up?
It doesn't seem like even giving up this option.
Must wrestle.
Zixu's heart couldn't help but rise in despair, why hasn't the door master come forward until now, half an hour, this should not be his future grave.
With difficulty, he raised his hand and grabbed a mutant scorpion, the claw clamped on his fingers, and the three fingers were broken instantly, and with this last stimulation, Zixu successfully shook off some of the scorpions.
And then finally fell......
"It took so long. Beside the master of the Shadow Gate, I don't know when the man in black appeared again, he looked at Zixu who had fainted on the ground, and said.
"Not ready to repeat it again?"
The doorkeeper shook his head slightly.
"It wasn't necessary anymore, I saw what I wanted to see. Whether he's pretending to be or acting really, I choose to believe him this time. β
"Then you're not going to try again?"
The man in black smiled.
"We can't make any mistakes, it's about the Twelve Bronze Men, so simply let him go...... The elders shouldn't be happy. β
The door master closed his eyes: "I understand. β
"Yang Tuchen, you have also seen his power, there was almost a disturbance in the Xuanji Pavilion, and it was when Tang Rao and Xia Tang were both present. β
"That can only show that Tang Rao and Xia Tang are not well protected. β
"You are sure of this power, but we don't know anything about this child, especially Chen's power. β
The doorkeeper waved his hand.
"I know your concerns. He took a few more steps closer, and by this time the mutant scorpions had retreated, and Zi fainted in the middle of the field, alone.
"The twelve bronze human bloodlines are still missing eleven, the first thing we need to do now is to take back these wandering bloodlines, and we must not let them fall into the hands of the Yin Species, especially the Eclipse. β
"So ...... over there?"
"Don't inform Yang Seed about this yet. The door master reached out, and an invisible big hand grabbed Qin Xi's body out of thin air, sending him into nothingness.
"Let's let this kid cultivate in the Heavenly Pavilion first, the twelve bronze people in his body seem to have fallen into a deep sleep, there will be no problem for the time being, Chen's power, we will slowly explore. β
"I'll go inform Tang Rao and Xia Tang. β
The man in black bowed his head and wanted to turn around.
The master of the door suddenly stopped him.
"This matter has to be done in secret, and the eyeliner of the Yin Seed is likely to be near the Shadow Gate, or even has infiltrated into the Shadow Gate. I have a hunch that it will be extremely difficult to gather the bloodlines of the twelve bronze men, and we must take the initiative in our own hands as much as possible. β
The man in black raised an eyebrow.
"Don't worry, don't you believe in the ability of the Underground Pavilion?"
"It's officially open...... The Twelve Bronze Men plan it. β
The starry night has fallen, and many people have a premonition that this night is different, the era of the heroic fault, and the tide of power and desire is coming.
The man in black sat in the dark, and he pinched the joints between his fingers hard, making a "cluck" sound.
Half a month later......
In a narrow alleyway.
"Fly white. β
The woman who tied up her long hair turned her head and looked indifferent: "I don't call that name outside, I'm sorry, is there something wrong with you?"
The man in the shadows let out a dry laugh.
"No matter how much you want to get rid of this name, it's your appendage maggot. β
"It's like a jade basket. This is a curse buried in you and me, we can never get rid of it, this is fate. β
"I never thought about leaving the name, the one who is ashamed of it is you, not me. The capable woman half-turned, "You should actually be glad that this time I am the master of the mission." β
"Okay. I thank you. β
There was no sound in the shadows, and a gust of wind flew by, and it was empty.
So the woman returned to her direction, and she looked up at the pointed tower not far away.
No one knows what is happening in the middle of nowhere.
The man in black from the Pavilion was sitting in a restaurant at this moment, and in the seat opposite him was a little girl with a slightly immature appearance.
"How old are you?"
"Is it necessary to ask this question?" the girl blinked obediently, "You said you had business to do with me, so now that I'm here, what about business?"
"Your heart is not at all as sweet as you seem. β
The man in black couldn't say whether this sentence was sarcastic or praised.
"Thank you for the compliment. The girl picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip, "My father and mother are all dead, if I can't be stronger, then there will be a place for me in those fun-seeking fields today." β
"And now, I'm the boss. β
"Your business, whether you are still doing it or not. β
Also picked up the teacup, the man in black was not in a hurry, he stirred the liquid with a spoon: "Don't worry...... There's still a lot of time. β
"Are you an inspector?"
The girl's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the man in black knew that he was afraid that there were more than ten weapons aimed at him now He put down the cup and shook his head.
"We've never been associated with the inspection team. β
The position of the Shadow Gate is extremely high, ordinary things, they don't pay attention to it at all, the yang and the yin, and the balance of this world, this is the creed of the Shadow Gate. They are human beings, not rangers or adjudicators.
Where they have passed the Shadow Gate, their jurisdiction has not yet been extended, but after all, the Shadow Gate once existed under the name of "human light", and almost everyone will give it enough respect.
"Since it's not a patrol, then show your sincerity, I don't like to beat around the bush, it's too troublesome......"
The girl was angry and waved her hand out of thin air.
It looked like he was ordering his men to lay down their weapons.
"Have you ever thought about being truly alive. The tone of the man in black began to become strange, and the girl couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this.
Truly alive.
"You should act like a hero, not a criminal. Of course, if you don't want to be a hero, I won't force it, but you know that heroes may have a good home, and criminals ......"
"Do you know what's underneath the ground?"
The man in black pointed to the ground.
"You mean hell. The girl looked indifferent, her short hair and perverse braids swaying slightly.
"Go to hell, go to hell, it doesn't matter. β
The girl spread her hands, as if she didn't care.
"I'm pretty happy right now, anyway, don't you?"
The man in black continued to drink tea: "But aren't you also on guard all the time now? β
"Those rice buckets, you say?" the girl wiped her lips with disdain and grace, "I've never worried about them doing anything against me, because I'm smarter." Originally, I thought that there was finally a guy who could see it out of those rice buckets. β
"It turns out that you are not. β
"I'm here to do business, I'm a businessman, I just like to do business, and I'm only used to doing business. If I'm not mistaken, you're probably from that place, with what a proud tone. β
The man in black leaned back in his seat, his fingers crossed.
"Of course I'm here to do business, yes, I'm from that place, and as for the implications of that status, you know it. The deal I want is about that little thing about you. β
Seemingly inadvertently, the man in black reached out and pointed at the girl's chest.
The girl's ruddy complexion changed slightly, and she soon returned to normal. She looked at the man in black opposite seductively, and her eyes sent a dark fluctuation, like a star in the night.
"What's that? I don't understand. β
But the man in black is an old man, and the girl's trick is naturally not in her eyes, and her pupils emit a soul-catching light, and the indifference in the depths of the cold snowfield is not invaded by the years.
Soon the girl gave up on this unrewarded action.
"Hidden in your body is what we need, and if you don't cherish his presence, then we don't mind carrying out the order to reclaim it. β
The words of the man in black were meant to be smiling, and with a look that was not dominated by emotion, it constituted a different kind of shock.
Threat, that's right, it's a threat, Chiguo's.
Even if the girl is the dark queen of this place, but the man in black, he stands above the darkness of the world, not to mention thousands of years.
"My name is Agui, you can call me that. β
She finally compromised, no one was qualified to compete with the Shadow Gate, and the seemingly invincible Dark Dynasty was nothing more than scum in front of the Academy.
Not afraid of patrolling, and not afraid of the shadow gate, these are the two directions with an extremely large weight gap, the former is the common principle in the dark dynasty of girls, and the latter, is the epitaph of many people who were not afraid of death.
"Go back to the Shadow Gate with me, and you will have to give up everything you have now, are you willing?"
The smile of the man in black hooked the corner of his lips.
Ah Pu stared at the man in black with a fierce gaze: "Did you give me a second choice?"
"You're going to love Kagemon. β
Of course, the premise is that she can pass the trial of the master alive, just like a child.
The man in black picked up the spoon and placed it on the table, dignified: "This cup is really not very good...... I think you're going to love my tea. "He seems to be the supreme emperor, and his words cannot be disobeyed, at least for Abu.
In fact, before the appointment, she had a vague premonition that this transaction was different from every previous one, but she still came, as if she had no right to decide at all, and had no chance to choose.
"Welcome to join us...... Shadow Gate. β
The man in black smiled sarcastically.
The plan to assemble the twelve bronze men was proceeding in an orderly manner, and on the stone pillars in the Xuanji Pavilion, the light points lit up one by one, and the number was not too muchβit was three or five places with the upper limit of twelve.
Tang Rao looked at the light curtain, her eyes were stupid, reflecting a ray of light.
A new type of armor is being developed, and she will soon be able to replace this set on her body, and she has a very indescribable premonition that she is likely to bear the title of "Mechanical Prince" again.
There is not a heart of steel under the steel, she is also a woman, what woman wants to become such a terrifying ghost?
"I've taken over Yang Tuxu, and I'm ready to hand it over. The voice of the man in black suddenly sounded in his ears, Fang Yang's eyes lit up, and the movements of the pavilion were always very fast.
Although it is said that the yang species is avoided for the time being, but the matter of the twelve bronze people is bound to be hidden for a long time, the yang species will come to chase these twelve bloodlines, and the yin species will also do, even if the human body is more suitable for the twelve bronze people, but it cannot be ruled out that the yin and yang species can get the bloodline.
Those who are not of my race will have different hearts.
The Yang Species and the Humans are allies for the time being, but what about later?
Shadow Gate has long learned to take the opportunity into his own hands, and there is no road more stable than this.
The mask fell, and Tang Rao walked out of her room.
The hallway was empty, her own footsteps were distinct, and she was really lonely. In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer disciples of the Shadow Gate, and the hypocritical peace has made more and more people lose their potential to be heroes.
It's time to find some disciples.
I am, so is Xia Tang, the situation of Zangfeng Pavilion is not much better than that of Xuanji Pavilion.
Her eyes lit up, Fang Yang quickly entered a state of movement, and when she left, Tiange, the door master stood in front of the window and watched Tang Rao's actions, and a few minutes later, Zangfeng Pavilion made a move, and Xia Tang chased after Tang Rao's road.
Meaningful.
The cane lightly touched the ground.
The coordinates left by the man in black were easy to find, and about ten minutes later, Fang Yang came to the restaurant, neatly pushed open the door and walked in, no one cast a strange look, and the people living in this era were no longer strange.
The man in black had already left, and Apo sat alone at the table, with two cups of cold tea on the table, it was the first time she had been so well-behaved at this age, although she had enough men outside the door to take the street, but she still did not dare to disobey the orders of the man in black.
The aftermath of the Shadow Gate is impressive.
The Machine Prince walked over to the girl and leaned down slightly.
"Huh?"
The girl turned her head and bowed her head unnaturally.
Tang Rao sat down on the seat opposite, her body sank, and the seat almost collapsed in response, but she didn't care about this, the shopkeeper who heard the sound glanced at this side, and wisely chose to ignore it.
"Are you here to pick me up and take me to the Shadow Gate?"
Ah Pu looked at Fang Yang, reached out and lit the pipe, took a deep breath, and spit out three or two thin smoke rings.
Tang Rao's pupils shrank, her fingers raised, and a ray of light shot out, breaking the cigarette between the girl's fingers, Ah Pu's hand trembled, and then took it back.
"Are there so many rules for the Shadow Gate?"
Shaking her head, Tang Rao stretched out her finger and tapped on the table: "There is no reason to smoke pipes in restaurants, as for other places, I can't care." β
"It's a nuisance. β
Apu's narrow eyes swept out the window, and froze: "That guy should be with you, I seem to smell the rules and regulations." The girl's nose twitched, and she looked very disdainful.
