Chapter 105: Old and Strong
Our attention was no longer on the Queen, and what appeared behind her seemed to instantly transform this unassailable monster into a fluffy and adorable toy.
A touch of pale green dragged a long light and shadow like a brilliant light in the firelight of the ice room, like a thunderbolt falling from the sky, and the queen who was crawling in front of us should also feel the movement behind her, and the tentacles on its head shook rapidly again, but when it sensed the danger, the huge body had not yet risen straight from the ground.
We heard the crisp sound of cutting, accompanied by the Queen's heart-rending wail, and its body was split in two as it struggled, and a large bronze axe now slashed in the middle of it.
The bronze Chiyou who had been standing at the entrance of the ice room turned out to be alive!
That statue made entirely of bronze could move!
Ye Zhiqiu had questioned it before, if the bronze Chiyou was a statue cast by the ancestor god of Jiuli, and it migrated from the Central Plains to the southwest region after the defeat of the deer, then how would the huge bronze statue be transported, and a statue would not be enough for the defeated Jiuli people to see the hope of a comeback.
Now I think Ye Zhiqiu has found the answer, but we will not be able to accept and believe this fact for a while, the god of the Jiuli clan has actually created a bronze Chiyou that can move naturally.
I looked blankly at the towering statues behind me, and at that moment I even really believed that these people were gods, at least mortals could not give life to a pile of bronze.
Kabo Akuroi ......
We only now understand the true meaning of this statement.
The temple of the ancestral god guarded by Chiyou.
This bronze Chiyou is the last guardian of the temple, he has been standing in this ice chamber for thousands of years, nothing is more focused and lasting than a pile of bronze, even if the thick frost covers the indestructible body, but he always adheres to the last divine will of the ancestral god.
"We've been in for so long, and Bronze Chiyou hasn't reacted, why is it suddenly alive now?" Gong Jue asked in horror.
"Statue...... I slowly lowered my hand and looked at the two idols that had been smashed by the Queen. The purpose of the existence of the bronze Chiyou is to protect the resting ancestral gods, and once these ice coffins carved into statues are damaged, they will be resurrected. ”
"I, I just want to know, he ...... Is he a real Chi You or a fake Chi You......" Tian Ji covered his arm as if he had forgotten the pain, and asked dumbfounded.
"There is no truth or falsehood, Chiyou is just a name, it is the ancestral god who gave this name the ability and meaning of the god of war." Gong Jue replied calmly. "If the ancestral god is willing, the revered soldier master in later generations can be called Zhang San or Li Si."
"So it is said that Chiyou has not been resurrected, it is indeed killed in battle in the battle of the deer, and the ancestral god created this bronze Chiyou in order to condense the talents of Jiuli, but the question is, why has there not been the slightest rumor and record of such a ferocious behemoth." I muttered to myself in surprise.
"It's not for nothing." In addition to the shock and panic on Ye Zhiqiu's face as much as ours, there was also a little more excitement, perhaps because she studied archaeology, and there was nothing more exciting than seeing Chiyou thousands of years ago.
Ye Zhiqiu told us that there are many places in ancient books that describe the image of Chiyou, and most of them describe Chiyou as different from ordinary people, such as mentioning in the book Guizang, Chiyou has two horns, and the meaning of sparse head is a forked head, which may refer to the bronze head of Chiyou we see in front of us, and the three faces are perfectly combined.
At the same time, the Classic of Mountains and Seas says that Chiyou is a copper-headed iron forehead, presumably because Chiyou is cast in bronze, and the description of Chiyou in the book of Strange Records is more detailed, with six hands and six eyes and cow hooves, which is consistent with the shape of the bronze Chi You's three heads and six arms, as for the cow's hooves should be Chi You's bronze six legs, which are in the shape of a cow's hooves and are easy to stand.
"The most direct evidence of this is documented in the literature,...... Now there are two inches long, unbreakable. Ye Zhiqiu said excitedly. This is enough to prove that Chiyou's body is made of metal, and the hardest metal at that time was bronze, but archaeological research does not think that the records of these documents are true, and that it is an exaggeration and deification of Chiyou's image, I really didn't expect these descriptions to be true, which shows that someone has witnessed bronze Chiyou, and recorded it but has been passed down in detail, resulting in later generations of Chiyou's image has always stayed in myths and legends. ”
The huge and mighty bronze Chiyou held a long axe in both hands, and cut the queen in two with one hit, he stood in front of the queen, like a mortal god, the cold bronze face was angry and hideous, and the queen was like an inconspicuous caterpillar in front of the bronze Chiyou.
The queen was hit hard but it wasn't fatal, she writhed half of her body and quickly counterattacked the bronze Chiyou, two sharp tentacles slashed heavily on Chiyou's legs, and in the strong impact sound, we only heard the sound of bones breaking from the queen's tentacles, and Chiyou didn't move at all without the slightest injury.
I suspect that Chi You's last divine decree at the ancestral god must be to be ready to kill anything that trespasses and opens the ice coffin without permission.
We can only be slaughtered in front of the queen, but in front of the bronze Chiyou, the queen doesn't even have the ability to parry, the broken tentacles hang low on the half of the body, Chiyou turned around on the other side, waved the sharp bronze knife with both hands, and slashed down with a heavy force, and the queen's head was in a different place in an instant.
Chi You took another step forward, turned around on the third side, and the huge bronze pillar fell on the queen's head impartially, and suddenly a puddle of flesh and blood sludge splashed everywhere.
It was just a moment of effort, the queen was killed by the bronze Chiyou, no wonder later generations respected him as the god of war, so brave and unmatched, who dared to compete with it, when it comes to Chiyou's most words is to die, I only now understand the meaning of these four words.
As long as Chiyou doesn't fall, the killing won't stop!
In fact, there are very few ways to get this bronze giant to fall, at least we in this ice chamber will never be able to do it.
After the bronze Chiyou killed the queen, the bronze beast head on his body turned towards us, and the engraved eyes revealed a chilling gloomy and hostile atmosphere.
"Blood, your blood is used here, put your hand up." Tian Ji said next to him. "The old female worm didn't dare to approach you just now, maybe this pair of broken copper and iron is also afraid, you try."
"He's just a pile of bronze, and he doesn't know what fear is." I replied weakly with a blank look. "He doesn't know what blood is at all, there are only two things in Bronze Chiyou's eyes."
"What's that?" Ye Zhiqiu asked.
"Living and dead." The palace lord blurted out, looking at the bronze Chiyou who was staring at us with a stern expression. "In this temple, no living things are allowed to enter or leave, this is also the purpose of the existence of Bronze Chiyou, he will never die, unless we die, he will never stop killing."
"What then?" Tian Ji looked at the half-cut blade in his hand, it was our last weapon, but in the face of the indestructible bronze Chiyou, it seemed a little desperately ridiculous.
Chiyou's heavy footsteps sounded in the ice room, the knives and axes dragged on the ground made a piercing sound when they rubbed on the ice, and the huge bronze Chiyou began to approach us, we didn't even have the idea of resisting, we were as weak as ants in front of Chiyou, he didn't even need to wave his weapon, he could trample us to death with one foot.
"And any explosives?" Gong Jue suddenly asked seriously.
"No, I've used everything I have." Tian Ji shook his head and asked in pain. "What do you want explosives for?"
"Chi You is cast by bronze body and combined, this is also a kind of mechanism, of course, the precision of the bronze Chi You manufacturing has far exceeded what I have learned, but the mechanism is much the same, although Chi You is indestructible, but the node of each combination is the weakest point." Gong Jue replied with a weak sigh. "At that time, this bronze Chiyou may still be indestructible, but if there is explosives, as long as they are blown up in the right place, the hardness of bronze cannot withstand the destructive power of explosives."
"If you hadn't said it earlier, you would have left some explosives if you had known." Tian Ji complained bitterly.
"I knew ......," I squeezed a wry smile at the corner of my mouth weakly. I knew that I would encounter these things, even if I was killed, the master would not come. ”
"Also, I originally expected to make a fortune with you, but now I haven't made a fortune, as long as I follow you to the places I have been, I have to put my life on the line every time." Tian Ji covered his arms with a look of remorse. "Did I owe you anything in my previous life, I knew how good it was for me to dig graves honestly, and I didn't expect to earn much, at least I didn't have to be tired of running all day long."
"Regret it?" I picked up the pheasant from the ground and asked apologetically.
"yes, I regret bringing less explosives." Tian Ji smiled open-mindedly. "You said that if I bring down this god of soldiers, then I will really become a great weapon, and I can impress my father if I don't make any money when I go back."
Chirping......
In the distance, there was the sound of the statue being opened, I looked over, and saw that the general actually pushed the ice coffin open, and the person who had to breathe for a long time to dig a grave at his age really didn't know where the strength came from, and the general came out of the statue panting, probably desperate.
He didn't even look at us, he must have witnessed everything in the statue's ice coffin, I saw that the general only made a gesture to our side, and then quickly took off the backpack behind him, and ran to the side of the bronze Chi You, squatting on the ground and taking something out of the bag and burying it in the ice.
I gestured with the general's movements in my hand, and when digging the grave, I tried not to speak in order not to be discovered.
"Let's lure Chiyou away!" I quickly understood.
"What does Uncle Wei want to do?" Ye Zhiqiu didn't understand these gestures and asked curiously.
I repeatedly gestured to the general's movements, and then frowned dumbfounded, looked at the general who was squatting on the ground, and didn't say anything for a long time.
"Old ...... The old thing said that he ...... He's going to destroy the Bronze Chiyou?! ”
