In the dark and narrow tunnel, Ye Sheng opened the way in front of him, and kept a safe distance of ten meters from Jiu De Aki behind him.

Ye Sheng, who had already walked through the tunnel once, was moving forward with ease, and the few "snakes" that had not been recovered had already pointed out the right path for him.

Coming out of the dark tunnel, Jiu De Aki almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Ye Sheng's eyes were quick and he hugged her.

Outside the tunnel exit is a bronze hall, but there is not a drop of water inside the hall.

There seems to be a mysterious force at the exit of the tunnel, which seals all the water in the tunnel, and it is impossible to fall into the bronze hall at all, which is why Aki almost fell after coming out of the tunnel.

Aki looked around the bronze hall, took out more than a dozen underwater lighting burning sticks from the storage bag on the back of the diving suit, and threw them in all corners of the hall.

This is a special underwater lighting burning rod made by the Executive Department, which can be burned in an oxygen-free environment, emitting dazzling light and emitting hundreds of degrees of high temperature, which is intended to be used for lighting and emergency heating. The executive department also prepared a number of lighting burning rods that are enough to emit a high temperature of 2900 degrees Celsius for melting steel, as for the use, it is naturally not used for emergency heating, I heard that it seems to be able to be used as a waterproof C4.

The red light emitted by the burning rod illuminated the entire bronze hall, and the two of them, who should have felt warm from the high temperature emitted by the burning rod, not only did not feel warm, but felt a chill to the bone.

Inside the bronze hall, there are bronze statues standing.

It was a statue of a snake-faced man, arranged in a seemingly chaotic pattern, surrounding the entire perimeter of the bronze hall.

"Ye Sheng, Aki, your heartbeat quickly accelerated after stagnation for a moment, are you okay?" Thelma's slightly nervous voice came from the headphones.

"Ye Sheng, Aki, what's going on!"

Mance Rundstedt's veteran experience made him realize that something terrible must have happened to the young men underwater, which caused their heart rate to skyrocket after a momentary stagnation.

"Whew!"

The two of them did not reply, but began to take deep breaths at the same time, lowering their heartbeat.

As soon as the heartbeat is too high, Mance Rundstedt immediately activates the rollers in the stern of the Moniach, retrieving their lifelines and quickly bringing them back to the surface.

Mance Rundstedt saw that the heartbeat rate of the two was gradually returning to normal values, and he did not urge the two to reply, but waited quietly.

"Report, we've just seen a large number of snake-faced statues, and I'm activating the underwater camera and asking the Moniach to prepare the video connection."

"The video connection is ready and ready to start."

Soon, the Moniach saw through the video footage transmitted by the special underwater camera that caused Ye Sheng and Jiu De Aki's heartbeats to fluctuate abnormally.

Ye Sheng said that there were a large number of snake-faced statues, but from the video, it seems that it is not an exaggeration to describe the number of these snake-faced statues as dense.

Ye Sheng handed the underwater camera to Jiude Aki, and he took out a long instrument.

"There are no toxic gases in the air, and the oxygen content reaches 19%, which is close to the oxygen level on the ground."

Ye Sheng and Jiu De Aki took off their diving helmets and stopped the oxygen supply to the oxygen cylinder. Although their oxygen can last underwater for an hour and a half, they can save some of it, and no one knows what will happen.

Aki holds up the underwater camera and transmits the scene of the bronze hall to the Moniach.

A dark green video appeared on the big screen, illuminated by a burning rod and a short-arc xenon lamp, rippling ripples cast onto an incredible bronze object, circular, surrounded by a circle of structures as sharp as wolf teeth. Complex patterns continue to enter her line of sight and camera, these patterns are incredibly complex, the leaves are gathered together like human faces, and when separated, they are indeed an ancient script that has disappeared for many years.

"Is this Longwen?"

Jiu De Aki did not take "Dragon Philology", but after getting along with Ye Sheng, who is proficient in this course, for so long, he can be regarded as well-informed.

Ye Sheng nodded, although the glow of the burning rod and the short-arc xenon lamp was not enough for him to see all the dragon texts clearly, he still saw some simple contents.

"In the twelfth year of Longxing, Liu Xiu entered Sichuan, and in November, the White Emperor was killed in battle, and my palace was destroyed......"

"Is this a record of the battle in Shuzhong two thousand years ago?"

Ye Sheng is proficient in "Dragon Historiography", and remembers that the book once said that the Eastern Han army and the mixed-race family in China at that time united to attack Norton Palace during the dry season of the Yangtze River, and the White Emperor City was destroyed by Yanling Candle Dragon.

Mance Rundstedt looked at the dragon text in the video and rubbed his hands in surprise, this is the first time since Nicholas Flamel that mankind has obtained such a large amount of dragon text materials, and this alone makes this Three Gorges operation extremely valuable.

Ye Sheng didn't continue to translate those dragon texts, he asked Jiu De Yaji to continue to photograph those dragon texts, and he slowly approached those snake-faced statues.

The statue of these snake-faced people is only a few tens of centimeters high, it is wearing robes, it seems to be the clothing of the Han Dynasty, holding the court wat used by the courtiers to meet the emperor, bowing their heads respectfully, and the human body is a snake's head, giving people an abrupt feeling.

When Ye Sheng walked towards the snake-faced statues, he suddenly felt that these snake-faced statues seemed to blink, and when he walked in front of them, he realized that the eyes of these snake-faced statues were pure silver, and due to the reflection of light, they looked like they were blinking, and it looked like they were staring at you.

Ye Sheng's head suddenly sank, his limbs became weak, and he knelt on the ground, and his whole person felt swaying, as if he would fall to the ground at any time. From Ye Sheng's point of view, there was suddenly a black figure behind him.

That figure is so familiar, it seems to be ...... No, it's Aki!

"Ahh

The burning sensation from his chest made Ye Sheng wake up instantly, and the groggy feeling dissipated, and the figure behind him turned into the snake-faced statue that was originally in front of him.

Even with Ye Sheng's psychological quality, he was so shocked that he sat on the ground.

"Ye Sheng!"

"Ye Sheng!"

Aki saw Ye Sheng's abnormality, and Mance Rundstedt also judged that Ye Sheng's state was wrong according to Ye Sheng's heartbeat, and shouted on the walkie-talkie.

Ye Sheng didn't answer, waved his hand to signal that he was okay, and gasped for breath.

He looked down at his chest. The wetsuit has a "World Tree" badge pinned to its chest. This is their "talisman", an alchemy prop washed with silver mercury, which can withstand several spiritual shocks or awaken people from spiritual illusions.

A third of the "World Tree" badge, which had been shining with silver light, had turned black at this time.
