Chapter 1073 The road to death and the road to life
"Actually, I'm no less shocked than Sasha." Chu Tianjiao said slowly, "If there is a dragon corpse placed in every coffin here, how many dragons are buried in this Nibelung?"
?”
"Perhaps the 'Kingdom of Death' in the alchemy myth refers to this Nibelung." Chu Zihang whispered, "Those hard white stones may be some kind of rare alchemical substance. This island is said to be in the legend.
Called the 'Island of Death', buried
It hides the secrets of death and 'immortality', which coincides with the legend of the 'Kingdom of Death'. If those coffins were all filled with dragon corpses, maybe this Nibelungen would be the same as the Valley of the Kings in ancient Egypt.
, is the burial place of dragons.”
"Brother, is it possible that the legendary 'Kingdom of Death' refers to all the Nibelungs?" Lu Mingfei suddenly said.
Chu Zihang looked at Lu Mingfei, and everyone else in the room also looked at Lu Mingfei, waiting for his explanation.
"The legendary Nibelung is the place where heroic souls return. It does not belong to the living and is filled with death. There are withered bones, fog and huge towns that humans cannot build. According to legend, there is also a rare fifth element in alchemical substances.
." Lu Mingfei looked around at everyone and whispered, "Does it sound like a collection of all the Nibelungs we have ever encountered?"
Everyone in the room was silent for a moment. Nono raised his head and looked at Lu Mingfei and said, "But if the legendary 'Kingdom of Death' describes one of the Nibelungs, this description is different from the one Uncle Chu met."
Nibelungen is more suitable, isn’t it?”
"Because I always have a feeling." Lu Mingfei said.
"Feeling?" Nono raised his eyebrows.
"The Nibelung that Uncle Chu encountered, I feel that the owner of that Nibelung seems to be deliberately building his Nibelung into the ultimate world that can replace all Nibelungs." Lu Ming
Fei said slowly, "From what Uncle Chu said to the huge imitation tree,
I feel a little strange about the world tree created by the King of Bronze and Fire, because whether it is the Nibelung root of the King of Bronze and Fire, or the Nibelung root of the King of Earth and Mountain, they basically remain unchanged after they are constructed, especially the bronze ones.
The city has remained the same for thousands of years."
"But the Nibelung that Uncle Chu entered was like a man-made huge petri dish. The owner of this Nibelung tried to recreate a World Tree. He left behind
The coordinates of other Nibelungs, and the corpses of so many dragons were collected." Lu Mingfei paused and said slowly, "From these actions, I seem to be able to see a certain ambition...Bihe
Erzog’s even greater ambitions.”
"What is his purpose?" Nuonuo asked Lu Mingfei in a low voice.
"Replace the ancient black emperor and call him the new emperor of the dragon world." Lu Mingfei said softly.
There was a gasp in the room, and then there was a long silence. The best young people in the secret party looked at each other, exchanging surprises in their eyes... If the owner of this Nibelungen really has such huge ambitions, maybe he
It will become one of the biggest obstacles in the secret party's journey to destroy the dragon clan.
"Mingfei's statement is very possible." Chu Tianjiao suddenly spoke. He glanced at Lu Mingfei and said, "After leaving the coffin containing the dragon bones, Sasha and I walked deeper into the island.
, the coffins here are even bigger, each bottle is more than ten meters long, and only a few bottles are closed.
Most of them were open, and there was nothing inside. In fact, Sasha and I should have gone to look for the exit of the Nibelung at this time, but from a long distance, one of the coffins attracted my attention.
With all my strength, I walked over with Sasha and finally stopped in front of the coffin."
"Is there anything inside that attracts you?" Chu Zihang asked.
"The corpse, the corpse of a dragon." Chu Tianjiao said slowly with a serious expression, "It is no longer the same skeleton as before, nor is it something between a dragon-shaped Deadpool and a dragon. This is a
A true dragon."
The expressions of everyone in the room changed.
"It is more than ten meters long. Of course, this coffin is also so huge. It fits perfectly with the huge body. It has complete flesh and blood and scales, head horns, sharp claws and wings. It is so perfect and so terrifying. It looks
It's like a combination of an angel and a demon. When you see it, you can't help but sigh, this is definitely the best in the world.
The most perfect creation." Chu Tianjiao said softly, "It lies quietly in the coffin. It doesn't look like death, but more like sleeping. Even if it is a corpse, you can feel the majesty of its life, just like it.
It may open its eyes at any time and stare at you with its breathtaking golden pupils. This is an inherent difference between species and in blood."
"What level of dragon was this corpse in life?" Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Tianjiao, "Uncle, can you judge?"
"At least a third-generation species." Chu Tianjiao paused and changed his words, "No, it's more likely to be a second-generation species. Even a corpse is enough to speed up the flow of dragon blood in my body. I have fought enemies of the third-generation species level.
After a fight, the coercion displayed by the corpse is more like that of a noble next-generation species, and it may even be a prince with a title from the ancient dragon clan."
"A complete dragon corpse of this level has never been obtained in the history of the secret party." Caesar said, "The more noble the bloodline of the dragon, the harder it is to be truly killed. The Gattuso family has the remains of three generations of this species.
The body and the keel of the second-generation species, those items are already the highest-level forbidden items in the Gattuso family's secret vault. If this complete body of the second-generation species leaks outside, it is likely to cause a war among hybrid organizations in the world."
"A complete dragon corpse is a priceless treasure. It is of immeasurable value whether it is for scientific research or refining materials." Chu Zihang nodded and agreed with Caesar, "If there is more than one such dragon in that Nibelung,
The owner of the corpse must be a dragon king level being."
"My bloodline can still withstand the pressure of that corpse, but Sasha almost knelt down in front of the coffin. He was already very weak. Fortunately, I supported him in time." Chu Tianjiao said, "
I saw the panic on Sasha's face, his lips were trembling, looking at
That pure-blood dragon corpse made Sasha unable to say a word for a long time. If the previous dragon skeleton had a huge impact on his world view, then this corpse made his world view shatter again and again.
, I believe he will never forget the experience that day."
"Sometimes what scares humans the most is not death, but the unknown." Chu Zihang said, "The biggest nightmare for humans is always something beyond imagination."
"Just like the aliens in 'Three-Body'." Lu Mingfei gave an example, "To Sasha, that corpse is no different from the aliens from the Trisolaran Galaxy. To ordinary humans, dragons are just descendants.
Dimensional strike.”
"I really wanted to take that body away, but I knew that was impossible. Looking at Sasha's fearful look, I realized that the most important thing for us at the moment was to escape from the Nibelungs before the white figures discovered us.
." Chu Tianjiao said, "But there is nothing on that island except coffins.
There are no doors, no caves, and no so-called exits. Those black, huge coffins sunk into the ground seem to be surrounded by a maze. Sasha and I are like mice that strayed into the maze. If we don’t find the maze before the owner discovers it,
If we don't get the exit, we will be trapped here for the rest of our lives."
Looking for a way out among a group of coffins and corpses, this situation is quite desperate. Mainly because Vincent's original description was a bit abstract. He only said that the mouth was next to the white humanoid. This description was like talking about bacteria.
Hidden in the human mouth, you know where it is, but there is no way to find it.
"Then Sasha and I came to the center of the island. A coffin of more than ten meters is considered mini here, and there are several coffins over twenty meters long." Chu Tianjiao said, "But the strange thing is,
In the center of this island are ten coffins, eight of which surround the two in the middle. How should I describe that arrangement..."
"Like Tai Chi diagram?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Yes, yes." Chu Tianjiao clapped his hands, "It's like a Bagua formation, and these ten coffins are different from the previous ones. They are very regular. The two middle coffins are normal human size.
The eight bottles around are arranged in order, one large and one small, forming a circle. The smallest one is as big as a human being, and the largest one is dozens of meters tall."
"Eight coffins surround two...the largest one is tens of meters long, and the smallest one is the same as a human being...if the size of those coffins are tailor-made..." Lu Mingfei thought about Chu Tianjiao's words, as if thinking of something
As if, he suddenly raised his head, looked at Chu Tianjiao and asked, "Uncle Chu, among the eight coffins, is the smallest one smaller than you? It is probably only this long..."
With that said, Lu Mingfei stood up and put his hand on the tip of his nose.
"I can't remember a little bit, but it should be about the same. The visual inspection is indeed shorter than my height, and there seem to be some that are about the same height as me." Chu Tianjiao said, his eyes suddenly fell on Lu Mingfei, "How do you know?"
"No, I just guessed at random. I just thought that if it was the size of a human being, there should be a female in it..." Lu Mingfei waved his hand, and the figure of a girl flashed through his mind.
Not far away, Chu Zihang glanced at Lu Mingfei calmly.
"Uncle Chu, I have a question." Nono said suddenly.
"Huh?" Chu Tianjiao's eyes fell from Lu Mingfei to Nono.
"How many of these ten coffins have something in them?" Nono asked Chu Tianjiao.
"Your thinking is really fast." Chu Tianjiao first praised Nono with admiration, and then replied, "Of the two bottles, only two are closed, and the others are all open."
"Actually, I wasn't sure at that time whether there was anything in those two coffins." Chu Tianjiao added, "Because I couldn't open them, couldn't see what was inside, and couldn't move them. Each of them was too heavy. Like words."
"What about the position and size of the two coffins?" Nono paused, "They shouldn't be the two in the middle, right?"
"Well, they are two of the eight bottles around." Chu Tianjiao nodded and said, "One of them is dozens of meters long, and the other is only the size of an ordinary human being... about the same length as me."
"Understood." Nono nodded and fell into deep thought. Her dark red eyes were like whirlpools. No one knew what she was thinking.
"Sasha and I still haven't found any exit, or in other words, there is no such thing as an exit on this island. I once again recalled Vincent's words at that time, and I even wondered if he had deceived me." Chu Tianjiao Said, "But did Vincent have any reason to deceive me? Because I killed his dealer? This was not a painless thing for the old fox, or was it because I refused to help him resurrect at first? His head of state? But in the end, he clearly knew that his head of state would never survive, or maybe he was really desperate, so he wanted to drag me to be buried with him? But why did he entrust me with all his wealth and let me What about the families distributed to his crew? Even if he wants to tease me, what reason does he have to kill Sasha and the others?"
Chu Tianjiao's question is also a question in the hearts of everyone in the room. Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo may have thought of other things, but they have not solved the most important mystery left by Vincent for Chu Tianjiao and them. .
"Suddenly, Sasha on the side said something, and he stared straight at the coffins." Chu Tianjiao said, "I leaned closer and asked Sasha what he said. Sasha's eyes flickered, and he shook his head and said He just thought of some unrealistic things, and he must have thought wrong."
"I walked opposite Sasha, looked into his eyes and said, no matter what you think, you can say it. We have no way to survive, so what do we need to be afraid of? Even if the idea is outrageous, we can give it a try. Maybe it will work?" Chu Tianjiao said, "But what Sasha said next really shocked me."
"Sasha said that when he was with Vincent in the past, he always heard the captain say some neurotic words, such as 'life and death are originally accompanied by each other' and 'if you want to live forever, you must die first'. If you want immortality, you must die first." If the price is death, then if you want to survive, should you die first?" Chu Tianjiao said, "I was stunned at that time. At that moment, I thought Sasha was scared crazy. Why would he say such a thing? I was confused, but subconsciously I felt that Sasha's words made sense, and even a little inspiration came into my mind, but I couldn't catch it for a while, so I asked Sasha what he meant by these words, and he Where do you think the exit of this world is?"
"Sasha looked at me and silently pointed to a coffin in front of us." Chu Tianjiao said slowly.
Everyone in the room either widened their eyes or opened their mouths, showing incredible expressions.
"I was really stunned. I looked at the black coffin, and Sasha's words echoed in my ears." Chu Tianjiao said, "He said that if the prerequisite for immortality is death, if you want to live, you must die first.
If so, it means that only the dead can leave here, so could the exit be hidden in a coffin?"
