The development of the vision far exceeded everyone's expectations. Before Ning Yue and others could react, they heard another loud thunderous noise coming from under the ice dome, followed by a blue-purple flame rising into the sky several miles away. It rose up and illuminated the dark ancient city under the ice like daylight.
What followed was a vibration wave that struck from far to near. It was completely different from the single vibration that had happened before. It lasted like an earthquake and shook everyone until they were unable to stand still. Falling to the ground and unable to get up.
The violent tremor also caused the ice shell above everyone's heads to collapse again. As ice cubes of all sizes continued to fall, the gap in the ice dome almost doubled in size. Countless ice cubes fell on the nearby towering tower. Above the buildings, the huge impact actually penetrated many buildings on the spot.
Those tens of thousands of mansions that had stood quietly under this ice sheet for countless years could no longer withstand such intense damage, and began to sway left and right like drunken giants. Countless large blocks inlaid on the doors and windows The crystals all shattered at the same time, as if they were crushed into powder by a force erupting from the inside out, falling like snowflakes.
As the shaking became more and more violent, large and small cracks began to appear on the building, which was originally as complete as a solid piece of stone. Those cracks spread quickly like tree roots, and then the entire building became like a Collapsed like a tower of sand.
Everyone knew clearly that it was the devastation caused by the explosion of a large number of blue flames. Judging from the power, it was almost all the blue flames used in the previous battle that were detonated at the same time. It is unknown what Ying Ren did after retreating from the battlefield. What happened to Yu Li and his party?
"Did we encounter a galloping wolf? Or did we encounter some danger hidden under the ice?"
The sergeants wearing black armor and red armor looked at each other in confusion, and couldn't help but guess what happened. There were different opinions for a while, but they became more and more panicked, and everyone felt in danger.
Under such circumstances, even though Jiang Yan and Qi Ziyin were fighting to the death just a moment ago, they knew very well that if they continued to fight, both sides would lose. Due to the pressure of reality and survival, the two had to put aside their dispute for the time being.
Finally, they agreed to send people to follow the direction of the flames to explore. The scouts were very strong, and they turned back in just half a stick of incense. However, they claimed that they did not find anyone, but that they were in front of them. A deep and large hole also opened in the ground.
"Then let's follow him and have a look! When Yu Li was in Ye State, he followed Qi Shouyu, so he must know a lot about the secrets of his ancestors. Now that he has deliberately come here, he may have some information in his hands that we don't know about."
The young Duke Ye Guo analyzed this. When he mentioned the events of that year, although his face showed no expression, there was still a big wave in his heart.
The young man with black eyes on the side snorted heavily in his nose: "In those days, just for a map, they did not hesitate to kill people and set fires, and did everything they could to make ends meet. Today is a good time for us all to see the power of our ancestors that you have been pursuing so hard. , what kind of existence is it!”
He seemed to deliberately want Qi Ziyin to hear his sarcasm, and said the word "you" very seriously. As expected, he immediately angered the young man in white and scolded him on the spot:
"What do you mean by this? Do you actually think that I am the same person as my father-killing enemy?!"
"It's not all the same, it's all the same. Do you dare to say that you led the army here today not to compete for the power of the ancestors?"
Jiang Yan spoke categorically, and his words were full of hostility, "If you want to pursue me, you can. But my Red Flame Army will never lead the battle for you!"
The two started to argue and fell into a new dispute. Seeing this, Ning Yue finally couldn't bear it anymore and rushed forward to separate the two who were about to draw their swords at each other again:
"How long have you two been arguing? No matter what your respective goals are, it will not benefit anyone at all if Yuli, who already holds the blue flame, is the first to gain the power of the ancestors!"
"If you are willing to help, then follow me. If you don't want to, please do it yourself. Don't miss the main business!"
Qi Ziyin stopped quarreling with the opponent, put his sword back into its sheath, turned around and walked away, leaving only the young He Han alone who was angry and unable to calm down, but he could only lead his team to follow him bitterly.
Not long after leaving, a loud "bang" sound suddenly came from under the feet of the forward sergeant. Qi Ziyin quickly pulled Ning Yue away, and Jiang Yanze drew his knife and went forward to take a look - it turned out that it was a piece of wood that was almost corroded by dust and rust. The iron plate was completely gone. There were still faintly discernible colors on the plate, and the white ones seemed to be some words, but no one knew what they meant.
And on the ground not far from the iron plate, a big hole was really opened, obviously blasted with blue flames. And under the hole, an underground tunnel that had been built was actually exposed.
The corridor extends forward and backward from the breach, and it is unknown, deep and dark. However, the series of messy footprints left on the soft soil outside the entrance of the cave still indicate that Yu Li and others have descended into the corridor. irrefutable evidence.
"Want to go down?"
The red-haired girl stood at the entrance of the cave, leaned forward and looked down, not knowing what to choose for a moment.
However, Qi Ziyin seemed to have already planned it, pointing firmly in front of him and responded:
"Of course we go down. This corridor will most likely lead to the bottom of those high towers. Otherwise, Yu Li would not have spent Lan Yan to wage war here. And our previous judgment was not wrong. Those high towers Under the tower, it is very likely that the ancestors’ divine power lies!”
When the group of people descended into the corridor, they immediately felt a cold air blowing towards their faces. From time to time, there were buzzing echoes in the deep darkness, as if there was something living not far ahead, but they didn't know if it was safe or not. It is the Pengguo army led by Yu Li.
Although the walls in the corridor have been in disrepair for a long time, there are large or small cracks in many places, and some places have even narrowed due to landslides, allowing only one person to pass through. But even so, one can still tell that it was originally round and smooth. The inner wall is as perfect and round as the holes poked on the beach by the hard pole of reeds. However, there should be no such thick reeds in the world, so it seems that it can only be called a miracle.
Continuing to move forward, forks and branches gradually appeared in the corridor. Only then did the group discover that this passage did not exist alone underground in this ancient city, but was connected to each other, intricate and extending in all directions.
Fortunately, most of the forked roads were in disrepair and had become dead ends. Many of the steps that originally connected the ground had collapsed, making it difficult to pass. The group was forced to turn back several times, but after traveling for more than ten miles, they suddenly... Entering an unexpectedly wide space.
This entire underground area presents an almost perfect hemisphere, like a huge bubble naturally formed from the underground, but it will never burst. I don’t know what kind of material it is made of, but it is actually It was as smooth as a mirror. The light from the torches in everyone's hands continued to reflect and converge on the curved surface, lighting up the entire space and making it clearer.
This place is directly below the conical towers. The base of the tower penetrates from the top of the bubble, and the steel frame and transparent crystal wall interweave in front of everyone's eyes to create a mysterious and beautiful scene. The scene is like breaking into an ancient royal tomb that has been lost in time, making everyone dare not speak loudly, hold their breath and stand solemnly.
"Is this the place where the power of the ancestors is hidden?"
Even though she had read many stories and legends about ancient times in ancient books, when Ning Yue saw those miraculous descriptions appearing in front of her eyes, she still expressed her heartfelt admiration. Even if she compared Cangliu City in its heyday with Compared with this place, it can't help but pale in comparison.
At the same time, I don’t know who in the team triggered the mechanism here in what way. Suddenly, I heard a low buzzing sound like the wings of mosquitoes and flies, and like the breathing of a giant beast. A large dazzling white light flashed out one after another, piercing them so hard that they couldn't open their eyes.
After their eyes gradually adapted, everything in front of them became very different from before. The originally lifeless space seemed to come to life again in an instant. The exit of the corridor when they came was flashing with red, green, and yellow lights. But it was not a lit candle. The dazzling light pouring down from the top of the head was like the strongest sun in summer, and even the chill that had always been with me was instantly reduced.
What is even more surprising is that at the same time, there was also a sonorous but elegant, calm and gentle man's voice. He spoke non-standard Dashengchao Mandarin, but could vaguely understand the main idea. :
"Welcome, distinguished guests, how can someone help you?"
"Who's talking?!"
General Yan and the Red Flame Army were the first to jump up, and as if they were facing a formidable enemy, they took out the incomplete weapons in their hands and lined up on the spot, assuming a defensive posture.
"Someone is the steward here and your most loyal friend. You can call someone your heart, your heart's heart."
"Heart? How could someone have such a weird name?"
Ning Yue didn't know if the other party was disturbed because she spoke, so she boldly answered, "Where are you now? Can you show up?"
"Wait a minute! Why did you understand Da Shengchao's words if you've been staying here all this time? Is this a trap set by Yuli?!"
Jiang Yan was extremely uneasy about everything he saw, as if he was facing a formidable enemy. As he spoke, his scouts began to search around nervously.
"The reason why someone can speak your language is because it sounds quite similar to some dialects in my memory."
The voice in the air sounded again, but it gave a clear view of everything that happened not long ago and now. "You don't have to look for someone hard. It can be said that someone can see and hear everywhere here, but someone can't." It can't be smelled, touched, and it can't hurt anyone here."
The red-haired girl hurriedly held down the knife held high by the young man and Han, and gave him a comforting look. Jiang Yan did not look at her, but still ordered his Red Flame Army to put down their weapons and not to be impulsive, and then asked:
"So - you are the god in charge of this place? What is your name?"
After hearing this, the other party seemed to be teasing, and then denied it with a hint of compliment:
"No. Someone is not a god. In someone's eyes, those who created someone are the real gods."
"You mean - us?"
Ning Yue was a little surprised. She turned around and looked to her left and right, but she saw only the trembling soldiers, Qi Ziyin and Jiang Yan who also looked puzzled, but no one else.
"Of course I mean you - especially this red-haired lady."
"I?"
"Yes, it's you, Miss. Your voice, your breath, and even your words and deeds are exactly the same as the teacher who created someone back then. It was after hearing your voice that someone woke up from his deep sleep. Wake up."
Hearing what the man in the void said, the red-haired girl was immediately confused. At first she thought she had heard wrongly, but the black-eyed boy next to her took a step forward and subconsciously blocked Ning Yue behind her. The boy in white also He nervously held the handle of the knife.
However, curiosity with a hint of fear finally prevailed. At the same time, the restraint of young and Hantongye also gave the girl enough time to continue the conversation.
"You mean, I resemble the person who created you?" Ning Yue asked again carefully. Because she knew that everyone's nerves were stretched to the limit at the moment. A little carelessness could cause both parties to suffer. Completely losing restraint, fighting hand to hand.
"Yes. Even though we just met, someone determined that you were her from the very beginning, until you asked me the questions I just asked."
The speaker didn't seem to know that his conversation with the girl had eased the already tense situation. The red-haired girl also relaxed a little, but continued to ask cautiously:
"So, you should be able to guide us as to where to go next?"
"Naturally, everyone who comes here has only one purpose. Please allow someone to demonstrate -"
The male voice in the void still spoke unhurriedly. Then, the white light that filled the surroundings suddenly dissipated, and was replaced by various spiraling weird patterns that covered the entire hemisphere. However, it was very different from ordinary paintings. What's different is that these patterns presented to everyone started to rotate as if they were alive!
Everyone could only hear a strange "sizzling" sound in their ears, but the man never made any sound. And the pattern they saw in their eyes turned into countless white tadpoles, moving towards a translucent circle in front of them. The balls rushed away together.
There was a dark seed in the center of the ball. One of the tadpoles got in first, and the seed quickly changed. It gradually split and turned into two, four, or eight balls...and then grew rapidly. Became a crying baby...
But this dizzying scene was just the beginning. Soon, the surroundings fell into silent darkness again. When the lights came on again, the baby had grown into a slim woman, but she was alone and gradually aging. Immediately, several people dressed in white helped the gray-haired woman onto a white bed...
The previous transparent ball appeared again, but compared with before, it was missing the seed in the middle. But soon, a transparent spike sent another seed into the center of the ball...
This time, the white tadpole did not appear, but the scene at the beginning was repeated again, and the ball grew into a crying baby without any surprise. The baby was picked up and placed next to the old man, and the two of them looked at each other. They all wore a round helmet filled with pipes...
Time flies, and the baby grows up into a graceful girl in the blink of an eye. What is unbelievable is that she looks exactly like the old man before when she was young, and even her behavior, voice, and smile are exactly the same!
