Yun Lang opened an iron door on the fifth floor of the castle, and the light suddenly dimmed.
What was shown in front of everyone was a long steel rope bridge, a huge silver-white rope bridge was magnificent and abnormal, and under it, there was a cold and silent black abyss.
The hollow abyss was like the mouth of a giant beast, devouring the light of the chandelier in the dome, and a cold wind with metallic coldness blew through, causing goosebumps to rise all over the body.
Ye Xian summoned a bright flame and threw it into the abyss, the sun seemed to rise in the thick darkness, and then the light of the flame, everyone saw countless broken steel bodies, including the steel guard wearing black iron armor, and the silver-white knight thrown into it with the mechanical war horse, but the most was the same steel giant as "Knight Zero".
Standing high above the castle, they looked down the edge of the abyss, where a pair of silver-armored knights were pulling a pile of broken steel guards towards the abyss.
Yun Lang could see clearly that those Iron Guards were the parts that Duan Yue threw out because of the lack of space in the space equipment and the inability to fit more Iron Knights.
The crowd also noticed that giants like Zero they had collected were no better than that in this abyss, and even giants that were two or even three times their size were not uncommon.
This surprised everyone. Zero's strength is obvious to all, and among the seven people in the line, Ye Xian alone is sure to defeat it alone. And in the wreckage of this abyss, there are countless more powerful beings - although that is in the past.
Everyone looked at the flame thrown into the abyss in amazement, and in a trance, it seemed to see thousands of steel giants waving their iron wings together to charge, the momentum was majestic, the scene was so vast that everyone was fascinated, and it was difficult to extricate themselves for a while.
"What kind of catastrophe can destroy such a powerful civilization like this? Veron's voice trembled, and his eyes slowly opened, full of confusion.
"The sign you read earlier says that the gods saved them. But what's going on with this city? Rescue, is it to save the human race of this civilization? Could it be that the gods can only do this, and can't protect the entire civilization?" Ye Xianmei's eyes widened, and her expression was quite complicated.
Yun Lang remembered the scene that seemed to be real before. The endless tide of gray beasts on the vast plain, the gray mist monsters attacking from all directions, and the gray creatures that walked and trampled on the vast land and destroyed everything, although they were destroyed by the dragon in that dream, they still had incredible power.
The tone and expression of Xuanhu and Yang Jiao flickered again in his memory, and the red ape shadow standing on the top of the sky and the dragon that seemed to have reversed time and space in the infinite darkness and reborn flashed continuously.
But they all disappeared in the end.
Teams of steel giants flew up to defend against the enemy, countless creatures ran between the steel buildings to flee for their lives, but the buildings collapsed, the giants also fell one after another, the war continued, countless magnificent cities collapsed and destroyed, all creatures were crying, no longer saw the starlight in the sky, everything withered, all the glory turned gray, and the vast civilization collapsed...... A surge of sorrow and anger from the unknown surged through his heart.
Despair, desolation, pain, anger, helplessness...... In an instant, Yun Lang was shrouded in countless negative emotions.
Suddenly, a cool voice came, and a familiar shout quietly sounded.
Yun Lang opened his eyes suddenly, his chest rose and fell like a bellows, he opened his mouth wide, gasping eagerly, and from his head to his feet, cold sweat soaked his whole body.
It took a long time for his eyes to refocus.
"Yun Lang, you, are you okay?what's wrong with you, don't scare everyone!" the first thing he heard was Xue Yao's crying voice.
Ye Xian and the others also looked at him with concern, only Duan Yue stood aside in a daze, as if he didn't care.
Yun Lang shook his head reluctantly, and squeezed out a reassuring smile: "It's okay, it's just a little out of strength, just eat something." By the way, he also squeezed the cold little hand in his hand.
Xue Yao blushed and pulled out his hand, and quickly took out the stored jerky.
Ye Xian naturally rolled her eyes at Xue Yao's "unproductive" performance, but she didn't make fun of her at this time, because Yun Lang's sudden coma obviously interested her more.
"Yunlang, what did you see...... Or rather, what do you feel?"
Yun Lang heard Ye Xian's question, and was silent all of a sudden, he bit the hard jerky one by one, and seemed quite calm, but his heart was already overturned.
In fact, it was very clear that he saw a huge civilization in an instant, in a very short period of time, collapsed, and then inevitably went to destruction......
Before, in Xuanhu's illusion realm, he heard for the first time about a disaster that could destroy the entire world, although his heart was shocked, but after all, he didn't have an intuitive feeling, so he could still be calm.
After the battle with the Heavenly Wolf, he was seriously injured and dying, and he dreamed in a coma, only to really see the scene of the mysterious monster wreaking havoc on the earth, but then the golden dragon appeared, and the world was protected and repaired, so that the touch in his heart turned to other directions.
But this time it was different, and he guessed that it was perhaps because the resentment of the dead in the steel city corroborated his thoughts, allowing him to see the scene of the annihilation of civilization.
Ye Xian looked at Yun Lang's cautious face after hearing his question, his eyes flashed, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and the expression on his face was also extremely serious.
Yun Lang exhaled a breath of turbidity, slowly stood up with Belon's support, and said thoughtfully: "I saw what they looked like when they were alive. ā
Yun Lang pointed to the wreckage in the abyss, with mixed feelings.
As for how to say what he saw one by one, Yun Lang obviously thought about it:
"They have 'awakened' from the flames of war, they are the guardians of the Iron Civilization, Ariane, the Exalted Knights of the Iron Heavens. In times of peace, they protect the people, drive away wild beasts, and explore the land...... They do all the work that is difficult for humans to do on their own, and they do it without complaining.
But disaster struck.
The noble peace-loving knights took up their weapons at the 'request' of mankind, and they were still knights, but they had a new name, the weapon of battle.
But even if they are as strong as them, they can't really protect this steel world. One by one, knights fell 'to death', and cities collapsed. The flames of war are raging, and every living creature in this world has struggled to survive, and the struggle has never stopped for a moment!"
Yun Lang felt the strength in his body regain, but his tone became even lower:
"However, the struggle was fruitless, the struggle was powerless, and the steel world could not escape destruction.
The world is in chaos, and living has long become a luxury, and you can't imagine that a world with a population ten times larger than the astral realm and a city as numerous as stars will disappear so quickly.
Humans and beasts eventually became allies, and together they came to the last city in the entire world, Arian.
100,000, including birds and beasts, and only 100,000 creatures eventually escaped into Irion.
This is also the last life left in the whole world, when those unknown monsters come, there is not a single grass, so outside of Erien, there is not even a single grass, and the whole world turns gray.
And the reason why Erion was able to survive the previous disasters was because of the existence of the 'Black Dragon', who is also the most powerful combat weapon in Iron Heaven.
But in the end, the breath of 100,000 living beings attracted more monsters, and after a great battle, the 'Black Dragon' fell to his death. ā
Yun Lang took the kettle handed by Xue Yao, and raised his neck until a drop of water could not be poured out, and he returned the kettle to Xue Yao.
Without exception, everyone fell into a long silence, if it were not on this steel abyss, but outside, they might have taken this as a joke, and their hearts were palpitating, at most a few breaths of tension would return to normal, but here, they could not believe it, and they could not do nothing.
Chiba's face turned even paler at this time, and she asked with some expectations: "What about the last 100,000 living beings, didn't the previous sign say that the gods saved them, did they survive?"
Yun Lang shook his head: "I don't know, I just saw that guy called 'Black Dragon' was defeated by a monster and fell to the ground." ā
Ye Xian let out a long breath, and raised her hand at Yun Lang, she was a little angry: "You guy won't coax her! ā
Yun Lang rubbed his aching head and grinned.
Belon stood next to him and snorted, he cautiously looked at Denise, who was comforting Chiba with Xue Yao, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Duan Yue looked like nothing happened, but as long as he saw his tightly clenched fists, he knew that this guy's heart was obviously not as calm as it seemed.
Several people walked to the middle of the steel rope bridge, bowed solemnly to the huge abyssal tomb and were silent for a while.
However, considering that Xuanhu was still in danger, several people decided to look for clues as soon as possible.
Across the steel bridge, there is a huge silver-white square. The square was deserted, and though some of their former prosperity could be seen in its potholed ground, it was now over.
The crowd did not stop and crossed the square as fast as they could.
Then, a huge warehouse appeared in front of them. There were piles of steel weapons that no one had ever seen before, but most of them were dull, broken or even shattered, and had obviously lost their effectiveness.
Regretfully, the group recorded their appearance with memory crystals, and walked through the warehouse to a golden steel palace at the end of the road.
The palace is made of steel mixed with an alloy of iridescent lustre, inlaid with diamonds and embellished with gold, which is extremely gorgeous, especially the ornamentation carved into the pillars around the palace.
