When they finished resting, about an hour had passed. During this period, they replenished their food and then continued to set off.
Ange followed the so-called mark, and this direction happened to be the direction of the Daming Mansion of the Land of Rain. This also made it convenient for Jiraiya to catch the 'elusive guy' after solving it or feeling helpless.
"It's probably here."
Finally, Angers stopped by a river. He slowly walked into the river bank, then squatted on the ground and looked at the rushing river water.
"Right here?" Jiraiya pondered for a moment, and then said, "It should be in the deep ocean. Dragons can breathe on their own in it, but it will be difficult for us."
"Yes, it is not surprising that dragons would station their lairs in the deep ocean. After all, now that the dragon clan has declined, if they want to operate in the ninja world, they can only place their base in Jedi areas that are difficult for humans to invade.
"
"To a certain extent, this place is as safe as the Nibelungen. After all, even if we can overcome the breathing problem across the ocean and find them, not many people can withstand the high pressure on the bottom of the sea. Even water-type ninjas cannot survive here.
We fight the enemy in the deep sea, but dragons are even more powerful in the sea water. As one goes and the other goes, we are even less likely to be opponents."
"Anyway, let's go down and take a look first."
Jiraiya also walked into the river bank, looking at the endless river below, he closed his eyes and tried his best to sense the natural energy.
Although it is impossible to instantly enter the sage mode like the first Hokage, with continuous improvement, the time required for Jiraiya has become shorter and shorter.
After a while, he successfully entered the immortal mode, and then he formed a seal with his hands, and two water jets suddenly spewed out. The water jets surrounded him and formed a sphere, wrapping him and Angers in it.
And on the outside of the water column, there are countless small bubbles formed, which contain a large amount of oxygen, and are specially used by Jiraiya for ventilation.
Under Jiraiya's control, the large water ball entered the river together with countless small bubbles. The water escape maintained by chakra would naturally not be broken by the rapid river. They dived all the way down, and were guided by Angers.
Just like that, they sank to an unknown depth, and Jiraiya could already feel a pressure acting on the body of the sphere.
It's just that it can't be as deep as the real sea, so Jiraiya could still afford it. When they sank to a depth of nearly two hundred meters, they finally saw the bottom of the river.
"Is it around here?"
Jiraiya whispered.
They are standing more than a hundred meters below the surface of the water. This is an area that humans rarely reach. Looking at the darkness, what humans can feel here is perhaps loneliness, right?
Lonely, it feels like I'm on a planet by myself.
You shout loudly here, and only Angers, who followed him in, can hear you.
"It should be right here."
Angers whispered back in the same voice, so soft that each other could just hear each other, as if he was worried about disturbing this quiet world. They moved forward quietly like pilgrims, being very careful in every move they made.
"No, they are indeed among them." Jiraiya suddenly stopped, as if he saw something shocking, and said blankly
Angers looked in his direction and also stayed where he was for a moment...
In that direction, a majestic city is built on the bottom of the sea. It has tall walls and looks up, down, left, and right, seemingly without boundaries.
In the dark seabed of more than a hundred meters, two people from the ground looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. It was difficult for them to understand what kind of power this was that allowed such a huge city to be built on
seabed.
"No, maybe it wasn't built on the bottom of the sea."
Ange murmured
He walked over with Jiraiya. He stretched out the water ball with one hand and gently stroked the city wall. Ange felt its material, and then said in amazement
"This is a city made entirely of bronze."
"Bronze?!" Jiraiya was a little unclear about the concept of it.
"In the history of our mixed race, there used to be such a city." Angers took his hand back and explained to Jiraiya, "The rumored King of Bronze and Fire, the great first generation, the Dragon King Norton
He once hollowed out a mountain several hundred meters high and used it as a model for the city. Then he poured copper slurry on the top of the mountain. This is how the Bronze City was formed. On that day, the high heat caused the rock to crack, and a Dragon King was built.
His palace was revealed to the world."
"...I feel crazy just thinking about it." Jiraiya said softly, "So will the great Dragon King exist here?"
Just having to face a second-generation species with a title already made Jiraiya feel a lot of pressure, but now they came to a first-generation species, one of the most powerful individuals among the dragon clan.
The palace of the Dragon King?!
This is just... so crazy...
"Then you have to go in and take a look to find out." Angers said, "According to Orochimaru, there are a large number of Dragon Kings sealed in Odin's Coffin of Ever Darkness, but I don't know if Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire, exists among them.
Already."
"I hope we won't encounter it." Jiraiya took a deep breath, then looked around and said, "Should we go in?"
He glanced at Angers and found that the other person's face was also full of tangles. Jiraiya could understand Angers' feelings. After all, for a hybrid who has been pursuing the mysteries of the dragon clan all his life, discovering the existence of this ancient bronze city was undoubtedly a discovery.
A miracle!
This may be an unprecedented discovery in the history of their entire ethnic group!
If you can get the secret, then what does a life mean?
"Just wait for me here." After thinking for a long time, Ange said slowly
"How is this possible?!" Jiraiya couldn't help but say, "If you want to enter, of course you have to go in together!"
"It's different. I have high-purity dragon blood in my body. This is my capital to enter it. People without dragon blood will not be recognized by this city, and you can't get in."
After that, Angers was silent for a full minute before adding, "The entry of ordinary people will only put the city on complete alert, and it may really cause some terrible disaster."
Jiraiya was silent, and finally he sat down, and then sighed and said, "Then, I will wait for you here. If something unexpected happens, don't hold back, just come out!"
After saying that, he formed another seal and split the sphere into two parts. At the same time, he used ninjutsu to glue the remaining two-thirds of the bubbles outside Angers' sphere.
