Chapter 37 Untitled
After receiving the message from Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang on the front lines.
Manstein, who was in charge of the mission, touched his balding head.
He never expected that, on their first time in the water, Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang would stumble upon the legendary Bronze City.
According to an Eastern proverb, what kind of incredible luck did they have?
But this is no time to dwell on that. He picked up the microphone and shouted:
"Stand still and don't move. I'll send someone down with the keys right now."
Photos taken from the scene from a first-person perspective show a raised human face faintly emerging on the bronze wall, with a burning piece of wood in its mouth.
Manstein recognized the face; it was a great achievement of alchemy.
Lively.
After being killed, it came alive within this lifeless metal, tasked with guarding the gates of this ancient bronze city. Only high-purity dragon blood could temporarily satisfy it.
However, the hybrids from Kassel College could not possibly possess such a high concentration of dragon blood, so they had to rely on external aids.
But before Manstein could order a dive, Chu Zihang's somewhat surprised voice came through the earpiece:
"The door is open, repeat, the door is open."
It's open!?
How could this be!
Manstein's face contorted in shock.

underwater.
Lu Mingfei's hand emerged from the creature's mouth. He had only acted out of curiosity and wanted to put his hand inside, but he hadn't expected that the creature's mouth could actually cut his fingers.
It should be noted that even underwater, his body was still covered by that layer of black fluid.
Now that he has broken through to the S-level perfection, the defensive power of this layer of black fluid has increased to another level.
Even so, it was still easily slashed by the strange human head in front of it.
Fortunately, it wasn't a complete loss.
Just after the living creature drank Lu Mingfei's blood, the bronze wall burst open with a loud bang.
After Chu Zihang reported to the command center, Lu Mingfei received a precise number.
Two hours.
This gate can only be maintained for two hours. If they still cannot get out of the mysterious bronze city in front of them after two hours, then they will truly be trapped here.
It sounds like a secret realm that opens and closes on a timer.
Lu Mingfei stared at the dark entrance before him, which resembled an abyss, and tightened his equipment.
He has gradually come to get used to and enjoy this life of occasionally venturing into secret realms for adventure.
After exchanging a glance with Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei was the first to swim into the darkness.
The bronze walls on both sides are partially visible, and various bronze instruments submerged in water can be seen from time to time.
Lu Mingfei looked up and saw countless bronze discs neatly interlocked.
He felt as if he were swimming inside the movement of a mechanical watch.
The beam of his headlamp shone from behind him, probing into the murky river in front of him.
Lu Mingfei understood that Chu Zihang had caught up.
In order not to fall behind, Lu Mingfei sped up and soon emerged from the murky river water and walked ashore.
This massive bronze underground city is composed of a series of domed cavities, connected by a complex network of passageways. They are currently walking through one of these passageways.
It is evident that the owner of the Bronze City had a high level of artistic attainment, as can be seen from the two rows of snake-faced human figures standing respectfully on both sides of the passageway, extending to the end.
They resembled ancient officials and held tablets called "ya hu".
Ancient texts record that this was an object similar to a modern notebook that ministers carried when they went to court to present their reports.
"The owner of this bronze city must have held a high position in ancient times," Chu Zihang murmured to himself as he emerged from the water, gazing at the scene around him.
Lu Mingfei didn't respond, after all, whether in his past or present life, he was completely unfamiliar with this prominent figure from Shilan Middle School.
He merely glanced up at the dome. As the signal transmitted, a surprised yet flustered voice quickly sounded through the headset:
"Quickly, record these images; they're invaluable data!"
Ignoring Professor Manstein's shouts, Lu Mingfei glanced at the World Tree with its leaves spreading outwards from the dome, then waded forward, leaving Chu Zihang, who was following orders to stay in place and record the surrounding information, behind.
The other person watched his departing figure, frowned slightly, and ultimately remained silent.
Lu Mingfei walked forward, and at the end of the passage, he came to a new chamber, where a bronze statue, tens of meters tall, stood tall and imposing.
However, unlike the snake-faced human figures in the previous passageway who held ivory tablets and were dressed as subjects, this snake-faced human figure wore the crown of an ancient emperor and sat on a bronze throne, looking down on the world with an air of dominance.
Lu Mingfei suddenly understood the connection between the passageway and the cavity.
This should be a pilgrimage route.
Thousands of years ago, this bronze city was still on the surface of the earth. After passing through many strict guards, the ancestors walked along this long passageway and finally came to offer sacrifices to the god who sat on this bronze throne.
So are these legendary gods just old dragons in disguise?
Lu Mingfei took a few more steps forward, but suddenly stopped his foot from landing, because the floor of this chamber was covered with withered bones.
Scattered beside the skeleton were pieces of armor that had long since turned into scales.
"These look like armor from the Han Dynasty," Chu Zihang's voice sounded behind him, and he followed.
"Hmm," Lu Mingfei responded softly. However, after searching for a while, the two found no passage leading to the next chamber.
So does that mean the road ends here?
Lu Mingfei was a little annoyed because Chu Zihang was right there, and he couldn't very well send out his little cuties to help search for him. Otherwise, why would he have wasted so much time here?
But Lady Luck clearly smiled upon them. Just as Chu Zihang shoveled away a pile of bones, another face, twisted and biting a match, appeared before them, just like the one at the gate.
Chu Zihang looked at Lu Mingfei, but before he could speak, Lu Mingfei had already reached out his hand.
Blood spurted out again, and this time, a vortex rose out of nowhere, engulfing the two who hadn't yet reacted.
at the same time.
In the command center of the Moniach, Manstein stared at the screen that had suddenly lost signal, his brow furrowed.
However, they were not the only boat on the river at this time. Under the cover of darkness, a speedboat slowly approached from the shore.
As Mai Shude steered the ship, she recalled the contents of the text message.
The text message was sent by Chip Girl. It was very simple, asking her to take Chen Wenwen with her to go into the water to carry out a secret mission.
Naturally, Mai Shude did not intend to agree to Chen Wenwen's request, as Chen Wenwen was still in the process of learning.
But after seeing the boss's instructions after the ending, she shut her mouth.
So what exactly is the boss up to? Mai Shude glanced back at Chen Wenwen, who was gazing curiously at everything around her, and muttered to herself:
"Could it be that he's going to kill his sister to prove his path?"
