Chapter 275: The Underground Palace
Xia Mi pulled the corner of Chu Zihang's clothes and looked at the scene in front of him a little blankly: "What's that...... Are we coming out? ”
"It's impossible to think about, right?" Breaking free of Susie's iron hand, Fingal's eyes flashed with golden intent that others couldn't see, and there was a meaning in his tone that no one else could feel.
He lost his mind a little and muttered, "Nibelungen, I didn't expect to be able to enter here one day......"
"Nibelungen ......?!" Natsumi's mouth widened, and her eyes widened, then she tilted her head and blinked twice, "What's that?" ”
Fingal choked, and the inexplicable momentum he had just mentioned was gone. The existence of the Nibelungen after the Bronze Incident was no secret to the hybrids. He didn't know how much the hybrids of the other forces knew, at least to the people of the Kassel Academy. However, these are a bit out of line for Xia Mi, who is only a preparatory class.
When Fingal, an inexplicably stunned errand student, popularized science to Xiaobai Xuemei, Susie slowly approached Chu Zihang, whose body suddenly tensed.
She was still guarding against her surroundings, but Chu Zihang was still a little worried about this: "Zihang......"
Chu Zihang closed his eyes, and then opened them again, and the coercion revealed by the golden intent surging in his eyes made Susie, who was closest to him, feel that there was a dragon in human skin standing in front of him.
"I'm fine." He said so, but the green tendons of the hand holding Murayu burst out, which showed that his real mood at the moment was far more intense than his appearance that was not so indifferent now.
Releasing the handle, he gripped the snug satchel. He had been carrying this satchel with him since the beginning of the mission, and Natsumi and Susie were curious that he only said that he was bringing something for his family.
The sharp water chestnut of the star-shaped octahedron slashed across his fingers, and the cool power poured into his body from above, and he felt that the dragon blood that was gradually tyrannical calmed down, and his inexplicably excited mood was also a lot calmer. When I opened my eyes again, the golden intent that had surged in front of my eyes also dissipated.
Patting Susie subconsciously holding his hand, Chu Zihang nodded to her to indicate that he was really fine, and then he turned his head to look at the empty and silent tunnel and frowned.
Unlike the Nibelungen in the Yangtze River Bronze City he entered, the Nibelungen in this subway tunnel seemed to have something flowing in the air that led the half-bloods whose bloodlines were already in danger to the point of getting out of control. Elemental or magical things seem to be everywhere.
Then, he sensed the hidden runes in his palm, and the magic that was still abundant in them calmed him. As long as this one remains, what he sees, another person can see.
After listening to Fingal's explanation, Xia Mi, who probably knew something about this, cried with a sad face: "What? Is there a way back? I don't think it's something we can solve alone. ”
"Unfortunately, there are no ...... at the moment But don't worry, junior sister! Fingal waved his hand, wanting to give him a trusting pat on the shoulder, and then Xia Mi stepped back to dodge.
He didn't feel embarrassed either: "The one in front of you is the unprecedented seventh-year dean of Kassel Academy, the task I have performed, but those two first-year students can't catch up, follow me, it's no problem to designate!" ”
Shrinking to Chu Zihang and Susie, Xia Mi blinked his eyes: "I'm afraid that it will be 'big!'" "Senior, your hind legs are still honestly following your senior brothers and sisters. ”
"If you don't listen to the seniors, you will suffer in front of you." Fingal was heartbroken, but the slightly oppressive atmosphere around him dissipated a lot because of his trouble.
After a little deliberation, they decided to move forward. Although there is an unknown existence that may be at the level of the Dragon King hiding behind now, if you don't move forward, you may cause something even worse.
After they left, the air in place shook a little, and it seemed that something had come in, but there was nothing there, only the shadow twisted slightly.
"Won't you keep up?" There was a voice in the air, it was low, but it was a female voice.
After waiting for a while, another deep male voice sounded: "No, let's go to other places to take a look first, I always feel a sense of disobedience here." ”
"Understood." The female voice who spoke before decisively gave up on the guys who strayed in here and obeyed the latter's choice.
"If you're worried, just follow me, I don't have to have someone to follow here." The person behind spoke again, and there was a joke in his voice.
"No, if even this situation needs help, then the matter of having him join us will have to be reconsidered." The female voice said so, and so said it. But the performance of some of them she has long seen in her eyes.
"Okay." The male voice in front of him seemed to smile, "Then please accompany me for a while." ”
"It's my pleasure......"
……
"Commissioner Lu Mingfei?"
Someone around him reminded Lu Mingfei, who seemed to be a little distracted, to come back to his senses: "Ah, I'm sorry, I was thinking about something just now." ”
The commissioner who had reminded him earlier withdrew his strange gaze, the legendary S-class had always looked like he was out of the world before. Although he added a superior temperament to his indifferent appearance, he still felt a little dull after watching it for a long time.
In the same way, the one who has been with him is in good shape...... Ahem, the unsmiling commissioner of the school board felt the same way. But he still wears a pair of sunglasses underground, so it's probably not strange that he doesn't talk much like a weird person, right?
……
Tiny metal shards streaked through the air, pulling out slender lines. The fast-moving shadows in the tunnel let out a high-pitched howl, slashing through at a faster speed before crashing into the scattered pieces of metal.
The bat-sized creature screamed and fell to the ground, its deformed body covered in devastation. The already rusty, fragile metal fragments exploded, and the scattered iron slag caused a lot of obstacles to the other scythes in the air, slowing them down.
At the same time, this behavior also angered them, and after the center of gravity gathered the whole team, they attacked the thin figure on the ground.
"Stand back!" There was a loud shout from behind, and Susie gave up control of the remaining pieces of iron and quickly retreated until she exited the scythe's encirclement.
As if timing it, scorching flames swept through the space on her back feet as she evacuated. The scythes that were still charging forward bore the brunt of the attack, and instantly turned into small fireballs, and the scythes behind them did not escape.
There was a scorching smell in the air, and crackling sparks exploded. Countless fireballs struggled to fall to the ground, and the originally somewhat dimly lit tunnel was illuminated, and the air that had always been shaded was covered by the blazing air. In the crimson flames, the scythes that had escaped at the end flapped their wings in horror, quickly moving away from the fire hell that had been created for them.
Susie was close to the flames, but she didn't feel a hint of fear. This flickering flame was an incomparably safe existence for her.
"You're hurt." Chu Zihang, who had extinguished the golden boy, stepped forward and took out a first-aid kit from his backpack by the way.
Susie was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting him to carry something like this. Then she looked at the back of her hand consciously, there was a long blood mark there, which should have been accidentally left before, and she didn't feel it just now, but the pain came slowly after the battle.
"It's no big deal......" She was about to say this, but she froze. Looking at Chu Zihang, who lowered her head and bandaged carefully, there was a smile in her eyes that she couldn't erase no matter how she wiped it.
"Also, don't rush forward next time." Chu Zihang said suddenly, but he still lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly.
“…… Well. Susie replied surgingly, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.
After a long time, when the temperature in the air was a little lower, two people in the tunnel corridor in the distance came out.
"That's amazing!" Xia Mi looked at the blackened scythe group on the ground with bright eyes, "Is this the strength of the A-level commissioner of the main academy?" It's completely different from the executive department action videos I saw in the classroom! ”
The scythe strikes, and she doesn't know who pushes her through the secret door between the tunnels. Although I missed the opportunity to perform, it doesn't seem to be a loss to see my brothers and sisters show their talents.
"So-so." Fingal, who was above her head, said, "But this is already more powerful than many official commissioners, so I guess I can see it." ”
Xia Mi glanced at him with disdain: "Listening to the tone of the senior brother, you seem to be very powerful, right?" Why didn't you see you outside, and ran here to hide? ”
Fingal coughed twice, "It's just not time for me to come on the pitch yet." ”
Rolling his eyes, Natsumi left him alone and ran over to rendezvous. Fingal smiled wryly, and followed after quietly dropping something in the corner.
Guarding to move on, the surroundings are still the same, like a labyrinth that can never be escaped, and there are fewer and fewer attacks like the one just now.
When they first encountered those flying guys, the four who were already prepared for the attack did not appear too flustered. Except for a rookie on the battlefield and an old bastard who is good at fishing, the other people's ways of dealing with it are also decent.
The lights ahead began to grow brighter and brighter, and as far as the eye could see, there seemed to be brighter lights than the searchlights on either side of the tunnel. It's the platform, they've seen something like it many times, but it's not of much value other than a few abandoned facilities. But this time it seems to be a little different.
"Although it may be that I am lonely and unheard, but ......" Natsumi looked at the thing in his hand with a stunned expression, this thing was of no value like the things they had encountered before, but it was a little wrong to appear in such a place.
“…… Recognize the reality, junior sister. Fingal's face was solemn, and his tone was as heavy as if he had seen a credit card that owed several zeros.
He slapped the thing in his hand, and his tone was still heavy: "Corn-flavored potato chips are the best potato chips." ”
"Nonsense! Cucumber flavored is! Xia Mi also slapped the potato chip packaging bag in his hand, and then reacted with one hand on his forehead, reflecting that he should not have such a boring argument at this time. If you want to argue, at least wait until you go back and buy a few packets of potato chips and smash them in his face.
Chu Zihang frowned, if the platform full of garbage in front of him was placed outside, there would undoubtedly be a big report from a foreign TV station starting with B, and there was no need to add a filter.
"There are people who have been here, and they bring with them these products that are unique to human society." Susie, who had walked around, said, but greater doubts came. Who is it? And why did he do it?
Chu Zihang shook his head: "It doesn't have to be a human, dragons who are good at camouflage, even their kind may not be able to see it." ”
"So there may be spies among us?" Natsumi jumped to her feet, quickly moved away from Fingal, and hid behind Susie. She showed half of her face, full of vigilance, and even if she didn't say anything, the meaning of her expression was obvious.
Fingal covered his chest and jumped behind Chu Zihang in distress: "Senior brother, if the Dragon King really tears his face, you will protect me, right?" ”
"No, I think I need your protection." Chu Zihang jumped on the platform, and the abnormality on the platform was more conspicuous than the garbage thrown everywhere on the railroad tracks.
There was a huge cavern in the wall, and the darkness in which light could not penetrate seemed to swallow the soul of a person as well.
This time, no one needs to explain, everyone knows that the only way to understand the cause of these anomalies and to find the person behind bringing them here is to move on.
……
The silent and invisible figure came to the platform, and after a moment of silence, a voice sounded: "I think...... Potato chips are still tomato-flavored. ”
"I prefer roasted wings......," the female voice replied subconsciously, and then found that she had also gone astray.
She asked the previous people, "I'm used to it, but do we need to be so sneaky?" ”
"I can't help it?" The male voice replied, "The other person likes to play hide and seek, so I'll play with him." ”
The female voice sighed, and the man became so playful again, she didn't know whether to be happy or troubled...... Although he seemed to be like that before.
……
The pitch-black passage was long, and it was still dark. The group was glad that they hadn't thrown the improvised torch away because they thought it was in the way, otherwise they would have been touching the wall and slowly grinding through this long passage.
The coldness in the air seems to be everywhere, and the extremely oppressive aura oppresses a few people, and the usually elves who are eccentric and like to talk bad things are now quiet.
I don't know how much time later, Xia Mi in the middle of the team shouted in surprise: "I feel the wind!" ”
A bright light appeared in the distance, and several people who had been in the oppressive environment for a long time couldn't help but be shocked, and their steps couldn't help but speed up. Soon, several people rushed out of the hole, and the bright light outside made them close their eyes after staying in the dark environment for a long time.
When they opened their eyes again, a huge and splendid palace complex that could not be explained in words appeared before them. It was like a dream, like a lost person who had traveled a long way in the desert and saw an oasis full of grass, and it was not as beautiful as being in the world.
