After burrowing through this crack in the rock, they entered a narrow canyon surrounded by mountain walls, which was really very narrow, and the blue sky above them was only a thin line, and the sunlight could not enter. On the mountain wall, there is a dark hole.

Just in front of the entrance of the cave, Meng Khan stopped, and he said to Zi Chuanxiu sternly: "My lord, this is the holy land that we have guarded for thousands of years. You are the first foreigner to share this secret, and we hope you will help us keep it a secret. ”

With a very sincere attitude, Zi Chuanxiu said in a deep voice: "Thank you, sir, for your trust. I won't reveal this secret to anyone without your consent. ”

"Thank you, sir. Once inside, we were in the Holy Land. Something strange may happen, so please calm down. Also, please don't mess with the items inside, because there are many things in it that we can't understand, and it is dangerous to touch them casually, the seventeenth patriarch of the Mongolian tribe died in the holy land, please be sure to act according to my instructions. ”

After speaking, Meng Khan first drilled into the swarthy hole, and Zi Chuanxiu also went in.

The entrance to the cave is not large, but it has become very wide inside. Zi Chuanxiu was very surprised, in front of him was a passage, spacious, tall, clean, bright, able to accommodate himself and Meng Khan side by side without being crowded. The passage is more than two meters high, neatly maintained, and the walls are light green. He touched it, and the tentacles were hard, warm, and smooth like clotted cream, and he couldn't make out what material he made of. The passage glowed with a white, hazy light, but no candles, torches, lanterns, or other lighting tools were to be found. This bright light is not emitted by candles or torches, it is more like rì light, but softer.

Meng Khan led the way in front, and Zichuan Xiu followed closely. There was a strange smell in the air, like the closed smell of a cellar that had not been ventilated for a long time. There was silence in the passage, so quiet that you could hear each other's heartbeats, and the footsteps of the two echoed in the silent tunnel, echoing empty over and over again.

Zi Chuan Xiu is not a timid person, but in this strange tunnel, hearing his footsteps that seem to come from far away, and looking at the long passage with no end in front and back, he felt a wave of fear from the bottom of his heart: "To open such a deep passage in the belly of a solid rocky mountain, even if the Zichuan family is full of strength, it may not be possible, and this is definitely not something that the backward Mongolian people can do." Who built the Holy Land, and what is the purpose of building it in this remote rocky mountain?"

Before Zichuan Xiu could come up with a clue, a white sè door appeared in front of them, with a shocking black sè skull pattern on the door, and a golden sè lightning symbol next to the skull. Without Meng Khan's explanation, Zichuan Xiu knew that there was a great danger hidden behind the door.

Zichuan Xiu asked Meng Khan: "Sir, what is behind the door?"

Under the reflection of those faint white lights, Meng Khan's face was frighteningly white: "My lord, our people generally call this gate 'the choice of the gods'. It only allows the patriarch to pass guò. ”

"'The choice of the gods'?" Zi Chuanxiu felt that Meng Khan's appearance of being strict was very funny, and said with a smile: "How to choose the method? Could it be that the gods will jump down from the world and block the way?"

"My lord, this is not something that can be joked about, if it weren't for my Mongolian royal family, entering this holy place, the consequences would be very severe. ”

"How can you be strict with the law? Could it be like a flying ascension, it will cause a heavenly tribulation to rain down 100,000 heavenly thunders?"

Ignoring Zi Chuanxiu's jokes, Meng Khan said very seriously: "If it weren't for the Mongolian royal family, anyone who entered this passage would have to die." ”

Just like a piercing yīn wind suddenly blowing in the passage, Zichuan Xiu was shocked, and his smile was all frozen on his face.

"In the notes of the patriarch, it is recorded that there was a patriarch who did not believe in this legend, and he led his subordinates to pass through the gate. But then, all the retinue suddenly fell to death for no apparent reason, and only the patriarch himself was unharmed. Since then, no one has dared to disobey this will. So, sir, stay here for a while. ”

Meng Khan said seriously, but Zi Chuanxiu muttered in his heart: "Died bizarrely for no reason? It's too, this kind of lie can also be spoken, there must be something strange! Meng Khan is too cunning, he wants to leave me here alone, I don't know what kind of scheme, or follow him safely! Not to mention that I have worked so hard to come to see the holy land, how can I stand outside the door and not go in?"

If the person who spoke was Gotha Khan or Kadan, Zichuan Xiu might have considered it, but Meng Khan, who had no credibility at all, said such absurd words, Zichuan Xiu only thought that he was planning something again, and he promised in his mouth: "Then you go in quickly, I'll wait for you here." ”

Seeing Zichuan Xiu talking so well, Meng Khan was very happy. He pressed his hand on the concave palm sign on the door, and the whole door glowed with white light, and the passage resounded with a low humming sound of the machine running, and then, a sweet female voice said cordially: "Detect the Guò, confirm it is the Fifth Mongolian Defender Inheritance!" Welcome back to Base No. 6, the Fifth Mongolian Defender Inheritance. ”

With the female voice, the white sè gate hummed upward, revealing the passage behind.

Zi Chuanxiu looked over curiously, and saw that there was also a passage behind the door, which was the same as his own passing, empty at a glance, and there was no danger in sight, which strengthened his thoughts: "Meng Khan must be lying!"

He remained silent and waited for Meng Khan to enter, and he quickly stepped through the door and followed behind Meng Khan.

Hearing the sound, Meng Khan turned his head and was shocked: "My lord, why did you come in?

Zi Chuanxiu shook his head: "It's very strange here, I'm a little flustered when I stand there, and I feel more at ease with you, sir." ”

"My lord, you, you're in trouble!"

As if to annotate Meng Khan's words, a piercing jǐng sound resounded in the passage, and the floodgates fell silently, sealing the way for Zichuan Xiu to exit.

The female voice sounded again, and her tone was very urgent, showing a sense of urgency: "Intruder found in Passage 2! Intruder found in Passage 2! Intruder please identify yourself immediately, otherwise you may be attacked! Intruder please identify yourself immediately, otherwise you may be attacked!"

Zichuan Xiu faintly felt that something was wrong, and asked Meng Khan: "Intruder?

Meng Khan exclaimed angrily, "How do I know! I have come alone before, and I have never encountered such a thing!"

The urging voice became more and more urgent, and the voice also changed to a majestic male voice: "The entrant immediately identifies himself, otherwise he will be attacked!"

Meng Khan and Zichuan Xiu panicked. No matter how stupid they are, when they hear the word "defense system", they should understand that nothing good will happen next. In a panic, Zi Chuanxiu suddenly noticed that a palm sign glowing red had appeared on the wall next to him, and the appearance was very imaginary as Meng Khan pressed on the door just now, he had an idea, and asked Meng Khan: "When you identified yourself just now, did you press your hand on this sign?"

"Yes. ”

"Now that it wants me to identify myself, do I have to put my hand on it too? Left hand or right hand?"

"I don't know ......" Meng Khan's face was pale, and sweat flowed from his forehead.

Hearing such an irresponsible answer, Zichuan Xiu was so angry that he wanted to go crazy. At this time, the male voice began to count: "Identify yourself immediately, or attack!" Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, ......"

"Meng Khan, if I have any three longs and two shorts, your entire Mongolian tribe will have to give me a funeral!"

Zi Chuanxiu scolded angrily, trembling and pressed his hand on the red sè sign. He was ready to turn into dust in an instant, but found that the tentacles were warm, accompanied by a slight tingling sensation.

He was taken aback, and quickly retracted his hand and looked at the palm of his hand, but there was no scar. The sound of counting had stopped, and there was silence in the passage.

Zi Chuanxiu and Meng Khan looked at each other, so nervous that they didn't dare to breathe. In the silence, the two of them could hear their hearts beating.

There was a buzzing and muffled sound of the machine running, and a soft female voice sounded again: "Detection Tong Guò, confirmed as the inheritor of the Thirteenth Forest Defender." Welcome back to Base Six, Thirteenth Forest Defender Inheritor. ”

"Whew~" The relieved exhalation sound was particularly harsh in the quiet passage, and Zichuan Xiu asked Meng Khan: "In this way, we can be regarded as safe to pass guò, right?"

Meng sweat couldn't stop wiping the sweat from his forehead, and in just two minutes just now, his handkerchief was soaked: "Yes." However, I have never heard such a welcome speech. ”

Fifth, the Mongolian Defender Inheritor...... Thirteenth Lin Clan Defender Inheritor...... Hearing these two welcome words, Zi Chuanxiu vaguely thought of something, but his thoughts were erratic, and he couldn't grasp it at once.

He asked hesitantly: "Sir, has the Mongolian royal family always taken Meng as their surname?"

Meng Khan frowned, he also thought of something: "It has always been, it has never changed in thousands of years. Isn't this a coincidence? But my lord, your surname is Zichuan, not Lin ......."

"Zichuan is the surname given to me by the previous chief Zichuan, and my real name is Lin He. ”

The two of them shook at the same time, looked at each other for a full ten seconds, and both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Meng Khan's eyes flickered, his eyebrows tightened, as if he was thinking about something, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"Sir, what are you thinking?"

"Ah!" said as if he had been suddenly awakened from a dream, and said in a low voice, "My lord, I wonder if this could be a coincidence?"

Zichuan Xiu also lowered his voice: "It can't be a coincidence, there must be a reason." ”

Obviously, there was no third person in the passage, but both of them involuntarily lowered their voices when they spoke, as if they were afraid of alarming some inviolable transcendent being in the Holy Land. Ever since he entered the Holy Land, Shikawa Shu has had a chill in his heart, a sense of fear in the face of an object that he is completely ignorant of. Now, Zichuan Xiu really believes that the gods may really exist!

"My lord, you can enter the holy land safely, this is the will of heaven! Providence is destined, some people are born to take on heavy responsibilities, although he himself does not know this! My lord, I dare to guarantee that he will be able to accomplish extraordinary deeds, and your deeds will far exceed what you can imagine today. ”

Meng Khan's words had a deep meaning, but Zi Chuanxiu couldn't think about it in detail: "Sir, I am now the commander of the army, the commander of the family, the commander of a million troops, and I don't need to do the things of conquest and annihilation - I don't need the will of heaven, I have already achieved extraordinary deeds now, but I don't need you to say it." ”

"Well, this, of course, of course. Although your achievements today are quite extraordinary, your achievements in the future are even more limitless! I congratulate you on behalf of the Mongolian people, and I hope that when you achieve hegemony, don't forget about our people!"

For some reason, Zichuan Xiu always felt that Meng Khan's eyes were a little weird when he looked at him. But thousands of clothes are worn, but they don't wear sycophants, knowing that Meng Khan patted his ass for the future throne, Zichuan Xiu still felt very useful. Even he himself felt that there seemed to be a providence in the dark that allowed him to achieve great things. Otherwise, how can you explain that the demons will die when they enter the Holy Land, but they can be safe and sound, and even the Holy Land can even say their surnames?

Is it true that Meng Khan said that he was an extraordinary person who was destined to be dependent?

After this fright, the two of them felt a lot closer. After walking for a while, he passed through the same door again, but this time there was no sound saying "welcome", Meng Khan just put his hand on the door, and the whole door was silently retracted upwards.

Stepping in, Shikawa Xiu was shocked by the scene in front of him.

In front of him was a huge parking lot, very wide, at least the size of the four training grounds in his barracks, the air was filled with the smell of engine oil and steel, and overhead was a rocky mountain wall, on which hung a saucer-shaped giant lamp, emitting a soft white light. The top of this parking lot was thirty or forty meters above the ground, and Zi Chuanxiu only felt dizzy when he looked at the saucer-shaped giant lamp overhead.

There are more than a dozen strange-looking steel cars parked in a messy place, these cars are strange, with various streamlined shells, some wheeled, some tracked, and some cars, a large boxy iron box, with a bracket hanging on it, and no wheels below, Zichuan Xiu can't figure out how to start.

What surprised Zi Chuan Xiu the most was a steel instrument that imitated a human shape, which made Zi Chuan Xiu stop in front and watch for fifteen minutes. The entire machine is a giant made of steel, a full three stories high. The giant held a sword in his right hand, a shield in his left, and a huge tube-like object hanging from his shoulder, standing motionless in the cāo field zhōngyāng. Zichuan Xiu is 1.8 meters tall, but he can't even see the giant's knees, and if he wants to see the giant's head, he can only tilt his head back desperately. The giant's shell was covered with rust and stood silent, but looking at its huge body, Zi Chuanxiu could imagine its awe-inspiring majesty and murderous aura back then.

Zi Chuan Xiu counted, in the cāo field, there were five steel giants, but the one in front of him was the most intact, and the others were either broken hands and legs or their skin was broken.

"My lord, how do you feel after reading this?" asked Meng Khan.

Zi Chuanxiu looked at the giant's head: "This should have been a military base back then. What is placed here is supposed to be the weapons of the gods. ”

Meng Khan nodded: "I think so too." ”

Although he still led an army engaged with swords and spears, this did not prevent the two generals from having a keen instinct for weapons. Although the things in front of him are not sharp on the outside, the soldiers can feel the murderous and bloody aura that is hidden at the first glance of the weapon.

"It's terrifying!" Looking at the three-story steel giant, Shikawa Xiu said, "Legend has it that the gods have the terrible power to tear apart the blue sky and destroy the stars, but I always thought it was just a legend. But after reading this, I think there is a good chance that this is true. Such an iron giant, if used as a weapon, even a million troops would not be able to stop its advance. ”

"Your Excellency, you should trust me now, right? This Iron Giant alone is worthy of a kingdom throne!"

Zichuan Xiutou didn't reply: "Fart! This giant may have been a super weapon with infinite power back then, but now, the rust is half a foot thick, and it's strange if it can be moved! If it can be used, this steel giant alone is enough to level the walls of the Demon God Castle, and you don't need to go far and far to exchange any throne with me!"

Meng Khan laughed dryly: "Although I can't find a way to start it for the time being, these weapons are still very valuable for research, maybe scientists can find out the technology of the Age of the Gods from them?"

Regarding this, Shikawa Xiu does not deny it. He could imagine what kind of sensation the Holy Land would cause once it was made public, and the Academy of Sciences would be crazy about it. The technology of the Age of the Gods, as long as you can learn a little bit of it, it is enough to benefit the entire human race.

After more than an hour of circling around the cāo field with all kinds of vehicles and equipment, Shikawa Xiu found that in addition to those vehicles and giant weapons, there were more unspeakable piles of waste in the corners of the parking lot. From the old pile, he picked up a piece of white sè and looked at it for a long time, and found that it was a kind of metal that he had never seen before, neither gold, nor copper, nor iron, the texture was hard, but the weight was as light as paper. What surprised him even more was that although it had been so long, there was no sign of rust at all. He tossed and weighed the piece of metal in his hand, and his mind wandered: if this metal could be made of armor and helmets, and the cavalry could charge in this light and strong armor, wouldn't it be like a tiger's wings?

He asked Mon Khan, "Sir, shouldn't this be the remnants of the Holy Land?" you said that you had spent twenty years researching it. But that's it, it won't take 20 years, right?"

"There's something here, please come with me, my lord. ”

Bypassing the steel giant, Shikawa Xiu found that there was a small door behind the giant, but it was blocked by the giant. Meng Khan opened the small door very easily and led Zi Chuanxiu in.

Inside is a very long corridor, different from the passage that Zichuan Xiu saw when he came in just now, this corridor is very ordinary, similar to the walkway that Zichuan Xiu usually passes, the corridor is very tattered, potholes, there is a musty smell that has not been ventilated for a long time, and it is so dark that you can't see your fingers. Fortunately, Meng Khan had prepared the torches, and the two of them took advantage of the dim light of the torches to move forward one foot at a time.

The aisle is very long, in the dark, Zi Chuan Xiu can't identify the direction, and he doesn't know how many turns he turns, under the light of the torches, Zi Chuan Xiu saw that there are many signs and slogans on the wall of the walkway, to Zi Chuanxiu's surprise, those signs and slogans are actually in human characters, all the way, Zi Chuanxiu saw the "Internal Affairs Group Duty Room of the Sixth Branch of the Southeast Defense Town Guard Office", "The First Field Service Brigade of the Sixth Branch of the Southeast Defense Town Guard Office", "Dormitory Area", "Field Service Second Brigade", "Weapons Storage Room" and other signs, and there are some slogans, due to the passage of time, many of the handwriting is not legible, and only some intermittent words remain: "Defender...... Most loyal...... Target...... Brave...... Duty...... Defend the ...... of mankind", "Defender, sacrifice Kunlun and sacrifice for ......", "Defender, the sword of the country, the shield of mankind...... The Last Warrior ......", "...... Uninhabited...... Hero Defender Warrior ...... Salute!"

Looking at it all the way, Zi Chuanxiu frowned. In the hinterland of the demon race, where no human beings have set foot for thousands of years, how can there be human writing? What kind of organization is this "Southeast Defense Town"? And what kind of existence is the defender warrior repeatedly mentioned on the slogan?

"Sir, I don't know history very well, and I probably know that before the Bright Dynasty, mankind had gone through four dynasties, but none of the territories exceeded the east of the Guqi Mountains. Sir, why is there a human script here?"

After a while, Meng Khan's voice came from the darkness: "My lord, the history we know is only a small part. There should be a glorious past in the history of civilization that has been artificially erased. ”

The passage was not all the way open, and in some sections, the walls of the passage were full of holes, revealing the white rock bottom inside, and the stones and broken rocks blocked the road, and Zichuan Xiu and Meng Khan could only climb over the piles of broken rocks, and both of them were covered in dust, and the wolf was unbearable. There were some broken metal parts, torn clothes, and miscellaneous items scattered on the rocks, and the light was too dim for Shikawa Shu to make out the small things.

Fortunately, the collapsed passage was not very long, only a dozen meters, and the front was smooth again. The passage extends in all directions, there are many branches and forks, and there are more than a dozen forks and bends, and Zi Chuanxiu has already been dizzy in the dark. At one of the doorways, Meng Khan stopped: "My lord, we have arrived. ”

Through the lighting of the torches, Zichuan Xiu saw clearly, and a few words were vaguely written on the black metal door: "Data Storage Room of the Sixth Branch of the Sixth Branch of the Southeast Defense Town."
