Chapter 654: The Underwater Palace is Extremely Magnificent
As the name suggests, these people are the foxes on the city wall, the rats in the land temple, but they are not easy to catch.
But on the other hand, these people are indeed the people who are most familiar with the territory, and the troublemakers are the rats of the imperial city, who lead the way, and the front is getting drier and drier.
After walking for about half an hour, the front suddenly opened up, and the huge load-bearing pillars were erected like heavenly pillars, and the entire sewer was like a palace!
Li Mi was also stunned.
In later life, he had read in books and in some media that the sewer system in Paris, France, was as magnificent and beautiful as an underground palace.
However, it wasn't until he saw the real Forbidden City sewer system that he knew that those who boasted about European or German and Japanese drainage systems on the Internet were just pediatrics!
The sewer in front of you is not only the grandeur of the palace, it is simply a universe inside, and there is a hole in the sky, as if you have entered the golden palace of the Lord of Hades!
More than a dozen torches were burning, and they couldn't even shine on the dome overhead, and their feet were so dry that they could raise dust, and the water in front of them was waistless, and they were completely two worlds!
What surprised Li Mi even more was that there were many spacious rooms underneath the ground, and there were even brick and stone beds and stone tables and other furnishings, which the designers and builders also intended to make as temporary shelters and other places.
I have to say that the craftsmen of hundreds of years ago have surpassed their thoughts!
Of course, what shocked Li Mi was that later generations used so many scientific and technological means to survey and detect the complete sewer system of the Forbidden City, so these pounds were actually touched clearly!
The troublemakers were also quite proud, and they also explained to Li Mi along the way, what are the uses of these facilities, and what good treasures were there before, but unfortunately they were all stolen by people.
Li Mi also couldn't cry or laugh, if it weren't for the fact that they were all carrying underwater bombs on their backs, Li Mi would be in a trance, thinking that he had walked into an underground museum, and these pounders were serious docents, even more professional than Xiang Mu and Shi Chongsheng.
It's a pity that Xiang Mu and Shi Chongsheng are too old to take risks, otherwise they will come in and see the world, but they are afraid that their vision and pattern will be raised to a height of more than a hundred floors!
However, the good times did not last long, and after walking for a while, the torches burned out, and they had to be replaced with new ones, and the air gradually began to get damp, and the feet were sticky, and the pound-makers did not dare to speak again.
When they passed by a few forks, they were also pale, and whispered to Li Mi and the others, saying that those were the entrances to the underworld, and those who went in to explore never returned.
These forks are as dark as the entrances to the abyss of hell, whining in the wind, as if a demon had cried lonely and lonely for hundreds of years.
Li Mi didn't have much interest in exploring the secrets, he just wanted to blow up some of the blocked waterways, drain the outer city, and solve the troubles of the troublemakers by the way.
The troublemakers are also very lucky, fortunately, they met Li Mi, an enlightened and reasonable master, if they change Xiang Mu and Shi Chongsheng, people from the Weapons Bureau, and want to take the opportunity to investigate, I am afraid that everyone will have to put their lives into it.
Fortunately, the footsteps were a lot brisker, and finally when they arrived at the first place, everyone placed the fried = bomb properly, and then lit the incense stick next to it, and told the left-behind masher: "You must wait until the incense stick burns out before lighting the fried = bomb, otherwise everyone will die here, remember!" ”
The pounder was also pale, nodding again and again, not daring to be a little sloppy.
Because the route had already been set in advance and the travel time had been estimated, Xiang Mu, Xu Guangqi and others calculated and used incense sticks of different lengths to time, so that several blasting points could be detonated in order.
As the march continued, the pounders were left behind one by one, and the further they went, the deeper the water became, and the underwater bomb = bomb was finally not in vain.
The water is getting deeper and deeper, which also shows that they are getting closer and closer to the drainage system in the outer city, Li Mi and the others are afraid that there will be an error in the timing of the incense sticks, so they also speed up their pace, after all, after they detonate, they still need time to escape.
What's more, until now, after traveling underground for so long, the living Hades have never appeared, which is the most disturbing!
The faces of the Poundmen became more and more ugly, because the bones of some animals and people had begun to appear in front of them, and the air was also filled with a thick putrid smell, and the Pounders had already begun to vomit.
If it weren't for the fact that explosive bombs had been installed in the back road, they would have no way out, and these pounders would not be willing to take another step forward at all.
As I walked like this, there was a sudden muffled sound in front of me, as if the gates of hell had been pushed open, low and full of danger!
"Yes...... It's Hades! It's Hades! ”
The trolls were frightened on the spot, their legs and feet were weak, and they didn't dare to step forward at all!
However, when Li Mi heard this sound, he was full of excitement, and he was so excited that he couldn't help himself!
Sarufei Sasuke and Abe Genkai are both native buns of the Wa Kingdom, and it is enough to be surprised to see the drainage system like this underground palace, and when they hear this roar, they are also furious!
One of them is the strongest ninja, and the other is an onmyoji of the Imperial Shinto, who is the most qualified to enter the imperial palace of the Wa Kingdom, and in their hearts, the Imperial Palace of the Wa Kingdom is not even one ten-thousandth of the drainage channel of the Forbidden City!
When they heard this roar, they immediately remembered the hellish experience, but Li Mi couldn't wait to walk forward, and at this time he carefully slowed down.
"Roar!"
A roar set off a gust of fishy wind, and there seemed to be slime floating in the air, and a fierce beast in the shape of a dragon, with its head held high, slowly walked out of the darkness!
I haven't seen it for many years, and the size of this little Jiao has become so huge, which is also something that Li Mi didn't expect at all!
I don't know why, seeing this little Jiao, Li Mi seemed to be induced, and the dantian in the lower abdomen was faintly hot, as if there was a warm current, which continued to rotate in the dantian, forming a whirlpool!
Back then, thanks to Xiao Jiao's blood, Li Mi's life was saved, and Li Mi and Xiao Jiao formed an indescribable subtle connection.
It's just that after so many years, Li Mi is not sure how much this connection is left, but the moment he saw this little Jiao, Li Mi was relieved after all.
Because he can clearly feel that Xiao Jiao also has the joy of reuniting after a long absence, which is in stark contrast to its vicious appearance!
But only Li Mi has such an induction, and the others don't know anything about it, and when they see this evil Jiao linear, they are already frightened!
Sarufei Sasuke and Abe Genkai were still able to keep their composure, but the rest of the pounders were weak and couldn't move anymore!
In the midst of their stunned eyes, the evil Jiao, which was several times taller than Li Mi, lay down, slowly lowered its head, and let Li Mi stroke its steely head!
The skull is its most vulnerable point, but some intelligent creatures, in the instinct of self-preservation, will not let other creatures touch their heads.
But this little Jiao did just that, it was recognizing Li Mi!
The huge evil Jiao made a whimpering sound like a puppy, as if moved by the reunion with Li Mi, and the strong body contrast rendered Li Mi like an otherworldly immortal!
However, at this moment, Xiao Jiao suddenly became agitated and roared at the path of Li Mi and the others!
Li Mi calmed Xiao Jiao down, but he could hear a thunderous sound behind him, as if a strong air current was impacting the sewer!
The surroundings began to shake and shake, everything seemed as if an earthquake was coming, and even Li Mi's face turned pale this time, because he knew that those pounders were afraid that they would be detonated in advance*!
"Let's go!"
Li Mi didn't care about installing the last set*, picked up the soft pound from the ground, tore off the underwater bomb = bomb he was carrying, threw it near the blasting point, and ran forward!
Xiao Jiao roared with his head held high, leading the way for Li Mi in front, and he didn't know how many obstacles he broke along the way, Li Mi and the others didn't need to worry about the direction anymore, they just followed Xiao Jiao desperately!
"Boom, boom!"
The successive explosions also made everyone's hearts frightened, and what was even worse was that they had already heard the rumbling sound of water, and the image of the raging flood filling the entire underground tunnel came to their minds!
Although the underground sewers were as majestic as palaces, the water from the outer city flooded most of the city like an ocean, and if they ran into the sewers, they would all be drowned in them!
"Find a place to take refuge!" Although Li Mi has also seen the design drawing, the design is as complex as the stars in the sky, how can he remember it!
The pound is sober, but his hands and feet are weak, and he even has to be dragged by Li Mi to escape, not to mention that this place is Xiaojiao's lair, outsiders have no return at all, and this pound has never set foot in it, where do you know where the way out is!
"Boom!"
A tide was the first to surge, higher than the heads of the people, and several people were swept out at once, and it was also thanks to the fact that everyone was tied to each other with ropes, so that they would not be washed away!
If you are scattered and left alone in this place, I am afraid that only one will die!
Li Mi dragged the already frightened pounder, only thinking about finding a place of refuge, hoping that Xiao Jiao could sense his thoughts.
And Xiao Jiao never stopped, always leading the way, going around and around, the tide was getting bigger and bigger, the water was almost submerged to the chest, and it was getting more and more turbulent, and everyone could only follow the tide with the current.
Li Mi gritted his teeth, climbed onto Xiao Jiao's back, and grabbed the raised thorns on its back, where did the others dare to climb up, they could only let Li Mi's rope drag it and keep drifting forward.
When they got to the end, the tide was getting higher and higher, and even the little Jiao had to swim forward, and they floated, and finally touched the dome of the sewer, but it was only a human head away from the dome, and if the water rose again, they would drown here!
At this time, another tide rushed over, and Li Mi had to yell at everyone: "Inhale! ”
Everyone took the last breath of air and was dragged into the water, Xiao Jiao struggled forward, and Li Mi also dragged the rope to death.
There is nothing to see under this water, and all the hope of survival can only be tied to Xiao Jiao's body!
Li Mi has been practicing internal kung fu all year round, his breath is long, and he holds his breath underwater for longer than others, and Sarufei Sasuke and Abe Genkai also have their own ability to save lives, but this pound is afraid that he won't live long!
Because the pound was close behind, Li Mi could clearly feel that he was dragging the rope, and seeing that the pound was no longer moving, Xiao Jiao finally popped and broke out of the water!
