The spotlight was only a glimmer like fireflies in the murky water, which could illuminate two pale faces, and all Ye Sheng could do was hug Aki tightly, they were falling rapidly.

Just now, a clear crack was rapidly approaching from a distance, as if an invisible blade had cut through a layer of rock several meters thick. The earthquake tore the bottom of the water, and the ground where they were standing cracked and sunk, and Ye Sheng and Aki didn't have time to react before they felt the huge water pressure coming down from above, sucking them down like a flush toilet.

Suddenly a huge cavity appeared in the ground beneath his feet, and millions of tons of water were pouring into the cavity, wrenching them into it along with the rocks, and even the lifelines of nanomaterials could not resist the power of nature.

Deep underwater, Ye Sheng and Aki took each other's hands and suspended in the dark green water, looking up, the light of the spotlight above was lost in the dark green, looking the same in all directions, and there was no end in sight, except for a huge bronze wall standing up and down in front of them, extending up and down, left and right, it looked like there was no border.

When the water completely filled the suddenly revealed space, the earthquake stopped for a while, and the dust in the water gradually fell, and the vision began to become clearer.

Ye Sheng recognized a mottled mark from the patina on the bronze wall, exactly the same as the mark on the pottery shard he had just discovered, it was a face burning in flames, only much larger.

The moment the lifeline broke, Ye Sheng and Aki lost contact with the Moniach, and after they found that their situation was a little better, Ye Sheng immediately prepared to unfold the spirit of speech, using the "snake" instead of wires to contact the Moniach.

This technique is very difficult, but after the professional training of the Kassel Academy, Ye Sheng can easily use the spirit of words to build a communication line of several kilometers underwater.

However, when he sensed the snakes in his mind, Ye Sheng was stunned to find that the snakes were "afraid". The group of snakes made of bioelectricity swam uneasily in his mind, and even without a specific image, Ye Sheng could feel their tendency to flee from here.

At this moment, the pattern on the wall suddenly appeared clearly, it was a raised human face with a burning wood in its mouth, it was a strange picture, the face was distorted by the pain of the fire, but it refused to let go of the teeth clenching the wood.

After the bronze face appeared, he slowly opened his mouth, as if yawning, and there was a terrible sound of metal heating and cracking from the depths of the bronze wall, and a black black hole with a diameter of about one meter appeared on the green head wall, and the teeth of the bronze face were above and below, but they were not human teeth, and they were sharp like daggers.

Ye Sheng recognized what it was, Professor Mance had told him, it was a great achievement of alchemy, using the purest matter to contain spirits, and then acting as a guard somewhere.

This is a living being.

Ye Sheng's heart was shocked, and he felt that the snake he had just summoned to stay around and guard was fleeing, this was an unprecedented phenomenon, the "snake" was his faithful slave, always inhabiting the depths of his consciousness. And at this moment, the great fear forced the snake to flee from its owner, Ye Sheng had a splitting headache, and in the depths of his consciousness, the other "snakes" were also affected, and they swam even more frightened, wanting to burst his head and flee from here.

Before he had time to think about it, he gave up on using the Spirit of Words to contact the Moniach, using this last chance to inform his partner.

"Run!"

Ye Sheng's voice sounded directly in Aki's mind, and Aki, who was just about to step forward to take a closer look at the bronze face, did not hesitate at all, and immediately turned around and swam towards the hole they fell into.

A huge suction force came from the black hole in the living spirit's mouth, and even caused a huge vortex to form at the bottom of the water. The vortex quickly grew larger and stronger, like a giant vacuum cleaner, sucking everything into the cave.

Ye Sheng and Aki swam as hard as they could, but they could only get farther and farther away from the hole they had come into, pulled by the suction.

Aki felt her body getting heavier and heavier, as if there were countless pairs of arms pulling her body backwards, obviously just a little distance away from the entrance of the cave, but she couldn't continue to get closer and gradually moved away. Just when she felt that she was about to give up, she suddenly felt a force behind her to push forward.

It was this power that upset the balance of power between Aki and the current, allowing her to advance a short distance and be able to grasp the stone at the edge of the cave with both hands.

Aki didn't care about stabilizing his body, and quickly looked back, just to see Ye Sheng being sucked into the black hole, and with the bronze face outside, it looked like he was being swallowed by a huge human face.

The discipline of the Executive Department, which prohibits the relationship between men and women who cooperate underwater, alleges that the violation of this discipline led to the heavy losses of the operation in the ice sea in Greenland 10 years ago. No one knows what the operation was 10 years ago, but from the fact that no one in the Executive Department participated in that operation today, it can be roughly concluded that the team from 10 years ago died.

Therefore, Ye Sheng and Aki have always declared to the outside world that the two of them are not a couple, and they agree very much, if there is an emotional factor between companions at a dangerous moment, it will lead to unpredictable results.

However, after seeing Ye Sheng being swallowed by the bronze face, Aki did not hesitate to let go of his hand and swam towards Ye Sheng along the current.

……

……

After the two of them fully recovered from their vertigo, the first thing they saw was a large number of bronze statues.

Ye Sheng glanced at Aki beside him, and showed a helpless expression after the closed diving mask.

Aki looked at the environment around her that was completely plunged into darkness, the only light was the spotlight on Ye Sheng's helmet, and she suddenly felt the cold, which was enough to destroy people, and came from the edge of the world.

"Ye Sheng!" She turned around and shouted, but suddenly reacted, the communication line between the two had been cut off by the violent change just now.

"I'm here." Obviously, the communication between the two had been disconnected, but Ye Sheng seemed to hear what she said, swam to Aki's side and stretched out his hand to shake her through thick gloves, and both of them smiled.

The severed communication line was urgently reconnected, and Ye Sheng summoned a snake as a medium of communication, and the communication with Aki was restored.

With the help of the faint light of the spotlights, the two of them had time to carefully observe their surroundings.

"This is a bronze city?" Aki whispered, and the resumption of communication quickly stabilized her spirits.

"Like the legendary Bronze City built by Norton on the Nordic ice field, we were lucky in a sense, if it wasn't for the earthquake that opened the cracks, we wouldn't have been able to burrow underwater to get here." Ye Sheng looked at the surrounding environment with some excitement.

The two of them found their way and began to float, and it didn't take long for them to rise above the water.

"It looks like there's a lot of air left in here, and maybe it can buy us a lot of time." Ye Sheng breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the environment here.

Aki looked up, and the empty environment that finally appeared allowed her to use the small flashlight she had with her. With the help of the light of the flashlight, she looked up at the vast dome of the palace, like a giant's, carved with ancient patterns, the scattered branches and leaves of a giant tree, the leaves and branches bent into undecipherable characters.

"Probably not, it's all metal, and if it's closed for too long, the oxygen will be depleted by metal oxidation, and the oxygen content in the air composition will be very low." Aki made his own judgment, "So we can only rely on the oxygen cylinder on our body, and according to the current stock, it can probably only last less than two hours." ”

With that, Aki lowered the output pressure of the oxygen cylinder so that he could wait for some time for possible rescue.

Ye Sheng decided that he couldn't sit still, he let Aki stay here, and he turned over and dived underwater.

In the bronze ancient city, there are one cavity after another, each of which is connected by bronze tunnels, and after being submerged by water, most of them are located below the surface of the water, like an anthill half-submerged in water.

After a while, Aki suddenly felt that the water temperature around him seemed to be rising, and Ye Sheng quickly floated up from the bottom.

"Be careful, this Qingcheng City has come to life!" This was the first sentence Ye Sheng said after reconnecting the communication line.

Immediately afterward, there was a faint and terrifying sound around him, as if someone was holding two pieces of rusted iron against his ear and rubbing them fiercely, and at this moment, such sounds were amplified hundreds or thousands of times.

Ye Sheng and Aki looked at the bronze walls around them, tens of thousands of bronze gears slowly began to rotate, the huge bell echoed in the interior of the cave, the rust on the gears began to peel off, and the gears bit together to make a gurgling sound.

Ye Sheng raised his head fiercely, and in the darkness that he couldn't see clearly, an unprecedented loud sound sounded, the bronze pendulum vibrated back and forth around the bearing, and the snake-faced man on the bronze wall moved at the same time, raising the tooth wat in his hand, and the slender snake neck bent and looked up at the dome, like an ancient pilgrimage ritual.

"The city's 'system' has been activated, be careful, although we don't know the reason for the activation, our situation may be even more dangerous."

……

……

"It's all hit to this point, the two of them should be safe in a short time."

Zheng Shu looked at the already white-hot battlefield in front of him and withdrew from the control of the Nibelungen. After his efforts, the space distortion in the middle was eliminated, and the space of the two Nibelungens was tightly together, relying on the strengthening of the Nibelungen, the Deadpool army finally broke through the firepower line of the Bronze City, and under the leadership of a group of 5-meter-high super giant aliens, they frantically attacked the walls of the Bronze City.

It's not that Zheng Shu doesn't want to continue to extend the Nibelungen forward, it's mainly that the alchemy circle of Bronze City is always rejecting his invasion.

Theoretically, as long as he continues to wait, such a war is essentially a fight for the energy reserves between the two Nibelungens, and in the face of the overwhelming volume gap between the Nibelungen and Zheng Shu's side, the defense of the Bronze City will definitely be broken by the endless army of Deadpools in the end.

But the problem is that there is not enough time, Ye Sheng's oxygen can only last for two hours at most, if he really consumes it slowly like this, even if he captures the Bronze City, he can only collect the corpses of those two little couples.

So from the very beginning, Zheng Shu's purpose in sending the Deadpool army was not to directly attack the Bronze City, but to force the Bronze City to open a new passage by itself.

As the intensity of the war continued to rise, the alchemy circle on the gates and walls of the Bronze City began to gradually overload, and a large amount of heat could not be quickly dissipated, causing the temperature of the entire city wall to soar sharply, and the excessive heat even changed the color of the entire city wall.

If you were facing a normal enemy, such a wall of heat would be a wall of sighs that would never be able to be crossed, but for the Deadpool legion who would not die under the blessing of the Nibelungen, this wall of heat would only increase the energy they consumed.

On the contrary, the drastic rise in temperature has affected the stability of the alchemy array, and the attacks of several large arrays have begun to stall, and the attack frequency of the remaining alchemy arrays is also decreasing.

Faced with the enemy's weakened firepower, the Deadpool army seized the opportunity and even climbed onto the bronze walls.

In this dilemma, the only option for the controllers inside is to use other methods to cool down the walls from the outside.

Coincidentally, because of the construction of the Three Gorges Dam, the entire bronze city is now submerged under the water, and a large amount of water is the best cooling material.

With the control of the controller, the Bronze City opened several hidden openings, and through the control between the openings, thousands of tons of river water circulated through the interior of the Bronze City.

The river water that was originally a few degrees Celsius would be quickly heated to forty or fifty degrees after flowing through the Bronze City, and the heated river water would leave by the flow of the Yangtze River, pulling a steady stream of icy river water into the Bronze City to continue to cool down.

The temperature of the wall in the Nibelungen dropped rapidly, and not only did the color return to its original state, but the alchemy circles that could not be activated due to overheating also opened again, pushing the Deadpool army down again.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Shu's eyes lit up, and now it was the new channel he wanted.

Leaving only a small part of his attention here to continue directing the battle, Zheng Shu's eyes opened, and his consciousness returned to his body again.

As his consciousness departed, the improvised body of the Nibelungen crumbled into a mound of earth.

Zheng Shu made a little observation, and found several hidden passages that were frantically sucking up the river water. Hidden passages, each opening is more than two meters in diameter, and is controlled by a living spirit. It can be seen that this should be the road used for daily traffic when the Bronze City is still on the ground.

It is estimated that the controllers inside the Bronze City did not expect that a dragon king would actually put down his pride and sneak in with such a method that does not emphasize martial virtues.

Tomorrow it should be possible to pay off the debt
