Chapter 45: Salvage (II)
With the help of the advanced diving bell imported from Germany, the combination of Chen Wang and Jiude Mai easily came to the surface of the water 50 meters below.
Chen Wang turned on the spotlight in his hand, but the spotlight could not penetrate much distance in the deep water, only a band of blue-gray light.
The slender figure of Mai Liquor De floated beside him, looking very neat.
"I said, wouldn't you be scared in such a sea?" , Chen Wang looked around and spoke a little nervously.
He is the kind of person with deep-sea phobia, when he was a child, he watched the underwater world of CCTV with his friends, and other children would only clap their hands excitedly when they looked at the fish swimming in the ocean, and at this time he would usually close his eyes in fear.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he would constantly imagine himself trapped in the deep sea, and that emotion would make him uncomfortable for a long time.
"What's there to be afraid of?" , Mai Jiude gently shook her flippers: "It's only fifty meters underwater here, with your and my bloodline, you can dive to a depth below 100 meters even without any equipment." ”
"Also, this is not a sea, just a reservoir."
There is a single signal line between the two of them, which is tightly connected to each other, so that they can hear each other clearly under the sea.
The diving bell stopped at a depth of about eighty meters, and they reached the bottom.
The storm arrived here after being filtered by a 50-meter layer of water, leaving only gentle waves.
It was flooded by the impoundment of the Three Gorges Reservoir, and it used to be a mountainous area, but due to the last exploration of Ye Sheng and Aki, it triggered a certain mechanism in the Bronze City, and under the effect of the Bronze City, it is now a huge rift valley like a ravine.
"What is the goal of our operation?" Chen Wang hit the spotlight at his feet, and at a glance he saw that something like metal was buried under the dirt.
But Chen Wang didn't try to remove the dirt from above, he knew in his heart that buried under the dirt was a huge city.
An ancient city made entirely of bronze.
"An alchemical weapon forged by Norton." , Jiude Mai gently swayed her body in the dark deep sea: "It is said that it is the pinnacle of alchemy, and it was born to be an alchemy weapon to slaughter the Dragon King." ”
"It sounds like Norton and we're in the same boat." , Chen Wang said a somewhat cold joke: "Wouldn't it be beautiful to let the headmaster capture Norton alive if he knew it, and then hand over that weapon to him, and then we will arrest him when he kills all the other dragon kings?" ”
Mai didn't bother to take such a retarded joke, she swam lightly, and after observing the situation here, she leaned down, and somehow took out a small bottle, and poured its contents on top of a bronze object that looked like a human face.
Suddenly, an obvious crack approached rapidly from a distance, like an invisible sharp blade cutting through it, and the rock layer up to several meters thick cracked and sank.
The earthquake tore the bottom of the water, and Chen Wang didn't have time to react at all, he felt the huge water pressure coming down from above, like a wave dozens of meters high crashing on top of their heads.
At the bottom of the water, the pressure on all sides is equal, and only one way that can cause a sudden increase in pressure overhead is a huge cavity under your feet.
Millions of tons of water were pouring into that cavity, wrenching them into the cavity along with the rocks.
"What the hell did you say?" , Under the huge water pressure, Chen Wang hugged Jiude Mai tightly in anger, and if the two were separated in this case, the outcome would basically be a dead end.
"Do you think Norton would put such a god-level alchemy weapon outside the Bronze City?" , Jiude Mai seemed to be a little overwhelmed by Chen Wang: "It's like you won't hang your inflatable doll on the balcony!" ”
"What kind of bad analogy is this?" In the chaotic current, Chen Wang felt that his brain was even more chaotic at the moment: "I've never bought that kind of thing, okay?" ”
After a while, the turbulent water stopped, Chen Wang was suspended in the dark green water, looking up, the light of the spotlight was lost in the dark green, and it was the same in all directions, and he couldn't see the end.
In addition to the front, there stands a huge bronze wall, stretching up and down, left and right, looking boundless and infinite.
"Can you let go now?" , The faint voice echoed in the diving helmet, and Chen Wang reacted and let go of the hand that was holding Jiude Mai.
"Don't be so vigilant, right? I don't feel anything in a wetsuit. Before Chen Wang's words were finished, he received an elbow blow to his abdomen from Jiude Mai, causing his whole person to bend into a shrimp.
"This is the periphery of the White Emperor City, and what we want should be in the 'White Emperor's dormitory'." , Mai Liquor Toku swam forward on her own.
She swam quite fast, and if it weren't for the fact that there was a communication line between the two, Chen Wang suspected that he wouldn't be able to see her for a minute at most.
"What's that?" In the process of advancing, Chen Wang pointed to a statue on the bronze wall not far away: "Can we knock it down and bring it back?" ”
Jiude Mai didn't speak, and frowned and glanced at the statue that Chen Wang was pointing to.
The statue was only a few tens of centimeters, and it was not comparable to the human-height statues they had seen when they entered the Bronze City.
He was dressed in an ancient Chinese robe, holding a Chinese-style tooth wat and standing on a bridge-shaped bronze pole, with his head slightly bowed, showing a respectful appearance, polite like a nobleman, but his head was like a cobra, and his slender neck poked out of the collar of the robe, which was extremely abrupt.
This is a very rare statue of a snake-faced man.
"What do you think this thing looks like?" , Jiude Mai asked Chen Wang.
"Snake-faced man, to be honest, I've never seen anything like that." , Chen Wang thought for a moment: "But we are now in the white-background city cast by the King of Bronze and Fire, and he is a dragon king, so can we understand it from the symbolic meaning?" ”
"Go on." Mai nodded, although she is also very knowledgeable, but as a Japanese, it is difficult for her to interpret the culture in terms of symbolism.
"If you look at the snake as a 'dragon', then this statue is a dragon-faced man, a man with a dragon's face, what do you think it would be?" Speaking of this, Chen Wang was suddenly stunned for a moment.
He looked up in the direction of Mai Liquor De, their eyes meeting in the deep sea, and at the same time he said a word: "Dragon-shaped Deadpool?!" ”
