Chapter 243: Crossbow Array

Before I could react, why the palace lord was so frightened in an instant, and just as I was about to speak, I saw more than a dozen people in front of me fall to the ground instantly.

Suddenly, someone screwed me up behind me, and I was dragged backwards before I could turn back.

While!

A black arrow burst out of the darkness and sank into where I was standing, and if it hadn't been for the timely dodge, it would have hit me in the chest.

In an instant, the surrounding area was full of sharp arrows flying down, powerful and powerful piercing the ground and shooting Qin figurines, as well as the screams of those who had no time to dodge, being pierced by the arrows in an instant.

I turned around and saw that it was Xie Tianhui who saved me, an arrow pierced his arm, it was supposed to be shot when I was dodging, I didn't expect that Xie Tianhui would actually save me at the moment of life and death.

Fortunately, the palace lord and they were fine, Akai Yoshitaka and his people were extremely agile and escaped, but the people who followed Xie Tianhui were not so lucky, and they were killed by random arrows almost half of the time.

I finally survived until the end of a wave of arrow rain, but Xie Tianhui's hands like iron tongs still grabbed me, the Qin Warriors were just about the same size as people, and it was temporarily safe to hide from a person, but now I and Xie Tianhui are hiding behind the Qin Warriors, and one person is bound to be exposed to the arrow rain.

But I just explained that Tianhui pressed me to death on the Qin Warriors, and he himself clinged to me, so that I could be safe and sound, but he was in danger of being shot at any time.

"You stay here, I'll hide behind the Qin figurines next to me." Although I don't have a crush on Xie Tianhui, he has saved my life anyway.

"Stay still." Xie Tianhui's voice was low, and he dodged behind the Qin figurines opposite.

As soon as he moved, I heard a sound in the darkness, a bit like the wind before the rain, although it was not so cold, but the flowing breath seemed to be filled with the coldness of Xiao Killing, and I could faintly hear a small, sharp sound, as if something was cutting through the darkness quickly.

That's what the palace lord said about breaking the air.

It was the sound of a thunderous arrow piercing the air, and the longer it passed, the clearer and denser the sound became, and at last it became sharp and piercing, and it was not the sound of an arrow, but a rain of arrows composed of countless arrows, from which we could hear that the rain of arrows shot at us from the darkness was overwhelming, like an impenetrable net.

We couldn't move at all except to hide behind the Qin Warriors and remain motionless, and there was not even the possibility of retreating, judging from the loud sound of breaking the air, we were covered by this rain of arrows within a hundred meters.

I even wonder if this is a mechanism or not, I always feel that there are people watching us in the darkness on the other side, and any slight movement will cause a rain of arrows to attack us, if this is not a mechanism, then there are other living people besides us in this underwater palace that has been silent for thousands of years, and I am afraid that there is more than one person staring at us in the dark.

The second wave of arrow rain lasted for a long time before it ended, and the darkness returned to a deathly silence, I looked around with palpitations, although I couldn't see anything, my eyes fell on the Qin figurines behind me, and it was all thanks to these stone statues that we could withstand the first two waves of arrow rain.

But now the Qin Warriors have been broken, their bodies are covered with dense arrows, all of which have no stones to enter, which shows how powerful and powerful these arrows are, and countless cracks have been cracked on the Qin Warriors' bodies, if the next wave of arrow rain is triggered, these Qin Warriors are bound to be torn apart and shattered, that is our only barrier, if we are broken, we will have no way to retreat and be completely exposed to the rain of arrows.

"There's fish oil on the ground." Akai Yoshitaka's voice came from the front.

I have been paying attention to the darkness on the other side, listening to Akai Yoshitaka's words, I hurriedly and carefully squatted on the ground, in the lines of the cloud dragon stone, there are extremely clever grooves, it is really not easy to find if you don't look carefully, and the grooves are full of fish oil.

I asked the field chicken to light the fish oil, a touch of fire bloomed in front of the field chicken, in this dark space is particularly eye-catching, our eyes are attracted to the past, the fire from one point slowly spread around, like a awakened fire dragon, no, it's eight.

With the initial firelight as the center, there were eight fire dragons that began to burn rapidly in front of our eyes, and as the firelight extended, we slowly began to open our mouths, and when the bright firelight banished the darkness away, we finally saw everything here.

In order to build the Jieshi Golden Palace, Emperor Qin actually dug through the entire mountain range at the bottom of the sea, and just opposite us, there stood countless blue-armored soldiers, one by one, densely packed, the firelight reflected on the cyan armor on their bodies, and the reflected cyan light revealed a chilling light.

Suddenly, a uniform sound came from the other side, as if something was being pulled, I looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers in horror, took a deep breath and felt a chill in my back.

This is the sound of a strong crossbow pulling the strings, and it is a dense array of soldiers, the sound of pulling the strings in unison, and the soldiers here are arranged in accordance with the marching formation, and they are ready to go in an orderly manner.

Gong Jue looked back at me dumbfounded, and even forgot the danger, and it took a long time to squeeze three words out of his mouth.

Terracotta?!

It was indeed the Terracotta Army, at least the costume was the same, but I had never seen a moving Terracotta Army, this was like a phalanx of arrows and crossbows, and it was also the elite of the country that Emperor Qin was proud of.

Emperor Qin relied on the powerful Qin crossbow and shocked the four seas, it was this kind of weapon that made Emperor Qin sweep Liuhe for ten years, and defeated the Huns in Hetao, looking at the Qin crossbow phalanx waiting on the opposite side, and even had a feeling of time disorder, as if returning to the era of chaos and fire.

The strength of Qin's crossbow has only seen a description of a few words in the literature, and today I saw it with my own eyes to understand the domineering of this thing, Qin's crossbow sound is like thunder, like thunder, and when it is launched, the arrow cluster and bowstring rebound and the air rub against each other, and there is no piece of armor left in the sharp whistling sound.

Now that the arrows are on the string, they may be triggered at any time, and the Qin Warriors behind us can no longer withstand and resist the invasion of the third wave of arrow rain, and the soldiers who can move on the opposite side move in unison, as if as long as we take a wrong half a step, thousands of crossbow arrows will whistle out.

"Stand still and don't move." The voice of the palace lord echoed in the empty stone room. "The movements are so regular and neat, the opposite side will not be a real soldier, but also a controlled mechanism."

"Emperor Qin left a stone tablet outside to warn that this place cannot be opened for eternity, it seems that he is not alarmist." I pointed to the middle between us and the soldiers on the other side, there were a lot of corpses lying on the sidelines, each corpse was covered with arrows, and the costumes should be the last ones to come here, and they should have triggered the mechanism here, and both sides suffered heavy losses.

"In the last battle of the ancestors, he personally commanded the elite three thousand, judging from the corpses here, there are not so many." Akai Yoshitaka said with his back against the Qin figurines. "It can be seen that the ancestors once passed here, which shows that there is a way to crack it here."

"How to break? It's easy to say, this Qin crossbow shoots down, and there is anyone who can breathe? Tian Ji said coldly.

"Are you sure this is the Jieshi Golden Palace?" Xie Tianhui asked loudly.

"Nonsense, Emperor Qin's stone tablets are all here, of course this is the Jieshi Palace, who else can build such a big project on the bottom of the sea, except Emperor Qin." Gong Jue said.

"When you're full, why is he repairing this place, just to have fun?" Xie Tianhui disdained and said coldly. "If he leaves as soon as the door is closed, doesn't he plan to come again?"

"That's right, Emperor Qin built the Jieshi Palace and laid so many mechanisms to prevent anyone from entering, didn't he himself think about coming here again?" Ling Zhihan looked at us suspiciously.

I frowned, and this also reminded me that if Emperor Qin built the Jieshi Palace to hide something, this place is too hidden and difficult to enter, and it is indeed an excellent place, but if Qin Shi Huang does not plan to come again, why hide, wouldn't it be easier to destroy it directly.

"The Jieshi Golden Palace can't be opened, which means that no one else can open it except Emperor Qin." I muttered to myself thoughtfully. "Speaking of which, Emperor Qin is waiting for the right time, and once the conditions are ripe, he will also return to Jieshi Palace."

"Why are you coming back, are you going to die?" Xie Tianhui smiled coldly, glanced at the corpse on the ground and said.

"He is the master of the Jieshi Golden Palace, of course he knows all the mechanisms set up here." Ling Zhihan said.

"This is the way to come in, I don't believe he can fly over." Xie Tianhui said.

I silently meditated, Xie Tianhui was right, from the time I came here, there was only one way, even if Emperor Qin returned here, he took the same road we passed, but we didn't touch anything, but we triggered the crossbow array mechanism on the opposite side, indicating that the thing activated by the traction mechanism was under our feet.

"What did you just say the dragon pattern on the ground was called?" Tian Ji asked suddenly.

"Cloud Dragon Majestic Stone." I say.

"If the only person who can open this place is Emperor Qin, then when you come here, you will definitely not walk on both sides, you should walk on the Yunlong Majesty Stone." Tian Ji looked at the ground and said.

"Yes!" Gong Jue suddenly raised his head and was excited. "We walked on the Yunlong Majesty Stone before, and there was no punishment for the crossbow array, until the Yunlong Majesty Stone in the passage was disorganized, and the mechanism was triggered, Emperor Qin is the emperor, only he can come here, of course, it will only be the Yunlong Majesty Stone!"

Although this speculation is not wrong, but after all, we only have one chance, several of us glanced at each other, Tian Ji gritted his teeth and slowly stretched his feet towards a cloud dragon stone, when he stepped on it completely, the crossbow array on the opposite side was really not triggered.

Only then did we breathe a sigh of relief, and cautiously stepped through the stone chamber where there was a cloud dragon stone, and when we reached the back of the crossbow array, we saw clearly that these tens of thousands of soldiers were not terracotta warriors, but mechanical figures made of bronze.

"The most famous organ in the Qin Dynasty is the Mo family, the organ people are indeed recorded, but far less than these organs are brave and exquisite, put here is the organ, if you go out, this is an army, Emperor Qin's ten years of sweeping Liuhe is estimated to rely on this thing." The palace lord said to us as he observed.

"I've seen this trick once." I walked around the machine soldiers and said.

"Have you seen it? Where have you seen it? Ling Zhihan asked in surprise.

"You don't remember, in the Temple of the Ancestral God, we were finally attacked by a huge bronze Chiyou, which was also made of bronze, although it was far greater than these soldiers, but the skills were the same." I took a deep breath and lowered my voice. "The person who made these bronze soldiers may have something to do with the person who made the bronze Chiyou."

"You mean the Twelve Ancestral Gods who mysteriously disappeared from the Temple of the Ancestral Gods?!" Gong Jue looked surprised.

"The time is not right, there are thousands of years between that time and the Qin Dynasty." Tian Ji was also shocked.

I shook my head, I didn't know what the connection between the two things was before, maybe only by revealing the secrets in the Jieshi Golden Palace could I know the truth.

When I left the stone room, I deliberately stayed behind, and when Xie Tianhui passed by me, I sincerely said thank you, if it weren't for his quick eyes, I am afraid that I would have been a corpse on the ground now.

Click!

Xie Tianhui glanced at me disapprerovingly, broke the arrow on his arm, and pulled out the arrow forcefully, and the whole arm was bleeding, I didn't see his eyebrows touched in the slightest.

"Everyone exists for a reason, you brought me here, and I expect you to help me find the treasure." Xie Tianhui said coldly while bandaging the wound. "It's not so much to save you, it's better to save me, everything has cause and effect, the world is impermanent, who knows that when my life hangs by a thread, the person who saves me may be you."

"Cause and effect? Do you believe in Buddhism? I was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xie Tianhui with some blankness.

Xie Tianhui was also stunned, his eyes appeared again, still sharp and bright, he was like a different person, he looked at me intently, he was silent for a long time, only me and him were left in the entire stone room, and then I listened to Tianhui's very steady voice.

"I believe in you......"
