Chapter 344 Trap
When Lu Mingfei opened his eyes again, there was only air around him.
He got up from the ground and looked back first, but he saw nothing but a wall.
In the bronze wall was their black rope that served as both a communication line and a lifeline. Instead of breaking, it was magically inserted into the wall, seamlessly connected to the wall as if it had been cast in.
Lu Mingfei reached out and patted the wall, and thick bronze rust stained his hands.
"Don't look at it anymore. We have already entered the Bronze City." Yuan Zhisheng said, "If you want to leave, you have to find a new door. This is the entrance. The exit is the same living spirit. The specific location is on the map, but it may change."
Lu Mingfei opened his mouth, wanting to ask if anyone had seen a strange figure, but in the end he didn't say anything.
He already knew in his heart that Old Tang was probably their target, Dragon King Norton, but he still found it hard to believe it.
How could the man who accompanied him in the interstellar space, treated him as a brother on the Internet, and spent hundreds of days and nights with him become the Dragon King?
How did he become Norton the Dragon King?
When did he change? Did he awaken his memory when he suddenly lost contact with me? Then what about Old Tang who was accompanying him?
Lu Mingfei's mind was in a mess. He couldn't think, nor did he want to think. He just couldn't accept it. But now he came here to kill Lao Tang.
"Calling the Moniach, can you hear me?" asked Yuan Zhisheng.
"The signal is clear, no problem." Xia Mi's voice sounded in the headset: "There is an extension rope in your equipment, just connect it yourself."
"It seems that Dragon King Norton is also a handicraft artist." Finkel looked at the bronze corridor in front of him and observed the countless bronze sculptures on both sides, and sighed: "It's just that this thing looks a bit creepy."
"The self-destruction program we are looking for is a bronze statue like this. It should be outside. Pay attention to it." Chu Zihang said.
"According to the intelligence, the owner of this Bronze City should be at home, and the Bronze Plan has been a hot topic on the Internet. It is hard to guarantee that the Dragon King does not know about it. Therefore, there should be preparations in the Bronze City. Be careful not to trigger the mechanism." Yuan Zhisheng said.
"What traps will be waiting for us? Deadpool dinner? Bronze formation?" Finkel muttered, "This place looks very dangerous. Are we really not guinea pigs sent to die?"
"It's little white mouse, you're here too." Ling said coldly. She didn't look at anyone and walked straight into the depths of the passage. Eri immediately followed her curiously, and the others also hurriedly followed.
Behind them, outside the thick bronze wall, Yuan Zhinv touched her face and muttered with some disdain: "What's with that naughty kid's eyes? How are I similar to Norton?"
Her long white hair floated in the water like seaweed. She was nearly 400 meters underwater, but she didn't carry any diving equipment. If ordinary people saw her, they would probably think she was a monster.
But for her, who has inherited the throne of the White King, she can enter and exit the extreme environment of the Abyss at will, let alone the bottom of a river.
After all, for the dragon clan, the bottom of the water is another home.
Xia Mi's gloating voice came from the headset: "Maybe your genes mutated after you became the Dragon King."
Yuan Zhinu rolled her eyes and said nothing. Although she had become the Dragon King and completely inherited the White King's throne, she did not give birth to a huge dragon body. Like Xia Mi, she was at most a young form and her appearance had not changed much.
At most, her hair is white and her eyes are red, and there is no way she can change back. Her former black hair and black pupils are completely gone from her. She can only continue to maintain a ostentatious image like a childlike character in the second dimension.
No matter from which aspect, she and Norton are completely different. The fact that Lu Mingfei could make a mistake only means that he probably didn't see anything, but just saw a figure and started howling.
In his concept, the figure seen in the Bronze City must be the owner of the Bronze City, so the misunderstanding is understandable, but Yuan Zhinv said that in addition to the owner, it could of course be an uninvited guest.
Not long after the group of people entered the water, Gen Chitose also jumped into the water, always keeping a distance and following behind them.
It's not that she's worried, but Yuan Zhinu knows exactly how capable these duds are. If she really meets Norton underwater, she's afraid they won't be able to defeat him in one move. Not to mention Norton, any other creature with a little dragon gene would be enough to give them a hard time.
The Bronze Plan was leaked ahead of time. Although Norton doesn't like to look at his phone, there are many people who like to look at their phones. There are also many people or dragons with evil thoughts in their hearts. It is possible that some of them with impure thoughts will go and inform Norton.
Knowing that someone was coming to encircle and suppress him, unless Norton was an idiot, it would be impossible for him to not make some arrangements.
But could Norton, the eldest brother among the four monarchs, the one who looks most like the Black King among all the Black King’s descendants and who was even once called the Crown Prince, be an idiot?
Gen Chinu felt that although the other party was not as smart as herself, he should not be an idiot. In order to avoid the dive team being wiped out, Gen Chinu silently chose to follow.
Looking at the living creature in front of her, Yuan Zhinu looked at her own white fingers and decided to win people over with virtue.
She clenched her hand into a fist and punched the bronze wall with her backhand. In an instant, the entire bronze wall sank in a large piece. The living spirit opened its mouth and wanted to wail. Yuan Zhinv punched again with her backhand, and with a loud bang, the entire wall was directly pierced through.
"What are you doing, destroying the house?" Xia Mi's voice sounded in the headset: "Such a big commotion, are you afraid that Norton doesn't know you're here?"
"So what? What if he knows?" Yuan Zhinv said, "We are here to destroy his bronze temple. How can we hide it from him?"
Xia Mi: “…It seems to make sense!”
Yuan Zhinv shook her hands, not wanting to pay attention to the love-brained guy, and walked in calmly. She didn't want to fight with Norton directly, but that didn't mean she was afraid of Norton.
This King of Bronze and Fire is best at alchemy. Keeping this Bronze City is a hidden danger. No one knows what backup he has left in this city. It is equivalent to his home court. In order to avoid the home advantage, Yuan Zhinv thought of simply destroying it.
The diving team is actually just a chess piece put out in the open to attract people's attention. The real players in the game are still Gen Chikyou and Norton, but Norton has not appeared yet, and Gen Chikyou is also hiding behind the diving team. Now it depends on who loses patience first.
...
"I hate snakes, and this kind of pretentious book-reading snake is even more annoying!" Lu Mingfei looked at the snake-faced human statues beside him with great disgust.
Snakes are cold, slippery, dangerous and poisonous creatures. There are so many of them here that it feels like you've fallen into a snake's den.
Although these snake-faced people were slightly bent over, leaning forward as if to salute, they looked like snakes reading books. "The road to the temple." Chu Zihang said, "If you have taken alchemy classes, you will know that there is a record of this road in the Ice Sea Fragments. These sculptures represent the metal elements controlled by the Dragon King. According to the alchemical element table, there are 88 in total."
"Okay, now is not the time for popular science." Finkel interrupted Chu Zihang's explanation and pointed at the sculptures: "Don't you think the direction of the bow is a bit strange? We are standing in front of them, and they bow backwards. What does it mean?"
Everyone was stunned, and then they realized that it was indeed a bit strange.
These snake sculptures were indeed bowing, but the direction they were heading was not towards them, but towards the passage behind them, as if something was following them in that dark passage with no end in sight.
"It's sounding more and more like a horror movie. We are trespassing into a private house, the owner won't find out, will he?" Lu Mingfei quietly hid behind Chu Zihang. In the absence of the Killer Sister, only the Killer Brother could give him a sense of security.
"Let's go and take a look?" Eri's dark red eyes sparkled. She probably regarded this action as an interesting adventure, and her little face was full of eagerness to try.
Yuan Zhisheng just shook his head: "It's better not to, we are no match for Norton."
As the only one who had fought with Norton, Yuan Zhisheng was very clear about the difference in strength between the two sides, which could be described as a world of difference. According to his observation, none of the six of them was Norton's opponent, and even together they might not be able to withstand a single blow from him.
Although he couldn't figure out how the six of them could kill Norton, Yuan Zhisheng believed that since Yuan Zhinu did this, there must be a reason for her. Since Yuan Zhinu said that their main goal was to destroy the Bronze City and lure Norton ashore, then they would do it.
As for what to do after Norton gets ashore? That's what will happen after he gets ashore.
If complications arise and they challenge the Dragon King without knowing their own limitations, Yuan Zhisheng feels that their fate will not be good.
Chu Zihang didn't seem to agree. He frowned, but before he could say anything, a voice came from the headset again.
"Yuan Zhisheng is right. Listen to him and don't make things complicated." Xia Mi said lazily, "You are no match for Norton. If you want to come back alive, be honest."
"Okay then." Finkel shrugged, "Keep going."
Chu Zihang didn't say anything else. Every time Xia Mi's voice sounded, he would fall into silence for a long time, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After a long journey, the diving team finally passed through the maze-like corridor system in the Bronze City and arrived at an open space.
Yuan Zhisheng recognized that this was the place where Yuan Zhinu killed those dragon servants. It was also here that he first saw Yuan Zhinu's dragon-like appearance.
Yuan Zhisheng looked up and around. All traces of the battle had disappeared. He guessed that the master had dealt with them after returning. The huge bronze dome was like a giant tree, blooming above everyone's heads.
The journey was incredibly smooth, as if God was blessing them. Not to mention the traps, even the statues were in a bowing shape. It was so quiet that it seemed as if the owner was not at home. After all, with Norton's temper, he would not have no reaction if he knew someone had trespassed into the Bronze City.
But where else could Norton be if not here? He could only return here.
However, whether Norton is there or not, the Bronze City must be destroyed, because it is not just a building. In Norton's hands, it can also become a fortress that can both attack and defend.
"It should be here." Yuan Zhisheng said, "Try not to separate too much. Look around here. The self-destruct program should be here."
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Yuan Zhinv frowned at the snake head statue that was groveling towards her: "How come this ugly thing is still here after so long?"
She still remembered that these ugly things had been following her last time. It seemed that these things could move, and they might even transmit what they saw to the owner of the Bronze City. It was a bit like a surveillance device.
Just as Yuan Zhinv was considering whether to destroy them all, she suddenly heard the sound of metal turning. At first the sound was very light, with a slight clicking, then slowly it became louder, like a machine starting to run.
What happened? The self-destruct sequence was activated so quickly?
She subconsciously wanted to contact Xia Mi to inquire about the situation, but found that the connection between them had been cut off at some point, as if blocked by something strange.
Yuan Zhinu frowned, and with a thought, countless snakes were released. In just a moment, those snakes returned to Yuan Zhinu's brain with a huge amount of information.
Yuan Zhinv quickly realized what was happening. The fact that the diving team was fine showed that this was not a self-destruction program, but rather that this super mechanism that was built two thousand years ago had come alive.
The seemingly solid bronze wall split apart, and millions of cubic meters of air escaped through the cracks with a piercing sound, while the surging water below squeezed in to fill the gaps created by the loss of air.
The spider-web-like bronze corridor rotated and then reconnected, just like a revolver. At the moment of shooting, the rollers turned and a new magazine was sent to the muzzle.
And from the news brought by Snake, it was not the entire Bronze City that was changing, but only her part, at least the diving team had no movement at all.
After the densely packed bronze corridors rotated and connected, in just a blink of an eye, Yuan Zhinv was trapped in a four-dimensional world. Looking around, she saw thick bronze walls all around, like a solid cage.
She was very sure that she had not triggered any mechanism, and the diving team had not even found the mechanism yet.
And if no one triggers any mechanism, then it can only be activated by the owner of this place himself.
So, Norton is planning to trap her?
But wouldn't it be underestimating her to just rely on this little bit of scrap metal?
However, just as she was about to continue being One Punch Man and smash all the scrap metal to pieces, the ground suddenly lit up.
Countless complex patterns spread across the ground like vines. In the space made of metal, time seemed to be frozen and everything was isolated and closed.
An extremely powerful "Alchemical Array" was triggered, and this "Alchemical Array" was actually able to suppress the power that was about to escape from Yuan Zhinv's hand!
