King of Assassins

Chapter 18: Dragon Roar

Views:

The entrance to the cave is several dozen meters high, enough to easily accommodate a large aircraft.

The steps leading down were also unusually wide, with each step being three meters wide.

It looks like this entrance is prepared for a giant over 20 meters tall.

Moreover, the hole appeared in front of everyone without any warning. This scene was quite shocking.

Even Wang Hongen, who was well prepared, was stunned for a moment, but ecstasy soon appeared in his eyes.

He couldn't wait to say, "This must be the remains of an ancient civilization. Let's go in and take a look."

Xu Yin hesitated: "I don't know if there is any danger inside. It's too unsafe to go in rashly."

“First, use a small drone to explore the environment.”

Wang Hongen was well prepared. He took out several palm-sized biplane drones to detect and scan the internal environment of the underground passage.

The drone is very fast and can transmit all the images and data it scans in real time. It also has an artificial intelligence program that allows it to operate completely automatically.

"The temperature is 24 degrees, the air content is normal, the humidity is normal, no harmful substances to the human body are found, and there is no abnormal energy radiation..."

All the data scanned by the drone are very suitable for human survival.

The images taken by the drone can be clearly seen on the virtual light screen.

The underground passage is more than ten kilometers long. The entire passage is very flat and clean, without any danger.

At the end of the passage is a huge palace with a strange style. There is nothing in the palace except for a high platform in the middle.

Xu Yin also breathed a sigh of relief. The situation inside this relic was very simple and there was no danger at all.

She turned excited again, as any ancient relic had important value.

This discovery alone is enough to publish dozens of papers.

The students didn't think too much about it. They were all very excited. The underground palace in front of them was completely beyond their imagination.

Young people are always full of curiosity.

Even Yun Qingchang had a curious look on her face.

Wang Hongen was very satisfied with the reaction of the crowd. He controlled his excitement and said in a deep voice: "There is no danger. Let's go in and take a look together."

With Wang Hongen's words, the impatient students rushed into the cave first.

Gao Xuan followed Wang Hongen with a smile, keeping a suitable distance.

He didn't know where the danger was inside, but as long as he stayed with Wang Hongen, it would be easier to deal with any danger if it really happened.

Yun Qingchang naturally had to follow Gao Xuan closely.

Wei Zhenzhen also wanted to rush in to watch the fun, but she was more interested in Gao Xuan.

Compared to the mysterious underground palace, the extremely handsome Brother Gao Xuan is more attractive.

Wei Zhenzhen was embarrassed to follow Gao Xuan alone, so she dragged Xu Yin along.

Xu Yin was particularly interested in the underground palace, but she didn't want to show too much anxiety.

Anyway, the underground palace is here and she can't escape, so she doesn't need to rush.

Wang Hongen was very silent and didn't say a word the whole way. His eyes were shining, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Gao Xuan was very curious about what Wang Hongen wanted to do.

The palace was empty and Tianlongtong was obviously not here.

Gao Xuan really wanted to snatch the thing from Wang Hongen's hand, but he knew nothing about it and might not be able to use it even if he snatched it.

Strange objects are all strange and bizarre things that cannot be explained by common sense.

Just like the God-Slaying Sword, if you don’t know the taboos of the God-Slaying Sword, you won’t be able to control it.

Gao Xuan decided to wait.

No matter how shrewd Wang Hongen was, he would never have thought that someone would be waiting for him here in advance.

Gao Xuan, as the oriole hiding behind, does not need to be anxious.

It took Wang Hongen and his team half an hour to walk through the more than ten kilometers of underground passage.

When they arrived, the students had already arrived. They had placed lights everywhere, illuminating the hall brightly.

The main hall is built with huge stone slabs, and the whole style is simple, primitive and grand.

The dome of the hall is 200 meters high, and people standing inside it look very small. The stone platform in the center of the hall is carved from a single huge stone.

There are many images carved around the stone platform, the lines of the images are simple and rough, but it can be seen that they are depicting combat situations.

A group of giants with that kind of weapons fought against monsters of various shapes, and in the end the giants won.

Xu Yin was particularly interested in these images. She recorded the scenes with her smart watch while studying them carefully.

Wang Hongen walked half a circle around the stone platform and came to a place with his back to Xu Yin. He pressed the dragon tooth key in his hand on the platform and quickly recited a few strange-sounding spells.

He has been studying the Dragon Tooth Key for nearly twenty years and has already mastered it thoroughly.

This simple spell is actually used to activate the sacrificial altar.

That’s right, this platform is actually a platform used by the ancient wise dragons to sacrifice prisoners of war.

If you want to get the treasures left by the dragon clan, you must first sacrifice your flesh and blood, especially pure boys and girls.

Wang Hongen insisted on bringing the team in because he was attracted by this group of young students.

After the Dragon Tooth Key and the altar resonated, the huge altar sank rapidly.

During the whole process, the huge rocks rumbled loudly and the entire hall was shaking.

The sudden change also shocked everyone.

A group of students were all terrified and didn't know how to respond.

Xu Yin was also shocked. If the palace collapsed, they would have no chance of survival.

The underground passage is more than ten kilometers long, and it’s too late to run now.

Fortunately, the rumbling earthquake stopped soon, the platform disappeared, and the original place became a huge deep pit. It was estimated to be dozens of meters deep.

A group of people looked into the deep pit, wanting to see what was going on inside.

Wang Hongen quietly took out a piece of Dragon Soul Vine from his pocket, lit it with a lighter and threw it on the ground.

The Dragon Soul Vine exudes a spicy aroma, a bit like fried chili peppers, and the taste is extremely stimulating.

Because the air in the hall is clean, everyone had already taken off their filter masks.

The sudden spicy aroma made everyone cough violently.

Gao Xuan saw it clearly from the side and knew that it was Wang Hongen who was causing trouble.

Xu Yin also saw it. She asked in astonishment, "Ahem, Professor Wang, what are you doing?"

"This is a dogwood tree used in ancient times to ward off evil spirits and pray for blessings. I saw records of such a ritual, so I took it out and gave it a try."

Wang Hongen answered casually, very calmly.

Xu Yin didn't think too much about it, but just felt that it was a bit rude for Wang Hongen to do this without saying anything.

Gao Xuan, however, felt something was not good. The six-winged cicada in his sea of consciousness had already begun to flap its wings and sing loudly, reminding him that a huge danger was about to come.

It’s still not too late for Gao Xuan to leave now, but he is unwilling to leave like this.

He whispered to Yun Qingchang, "Capture him."

Yun Qingchang understood what he meant and immediately exerted her strength to rush towards Wang Hongen.

With the blessing of the Crimson Heart, Yun Qingchang was confident that she could capture Wang Hongen within three moves. If she wanted to kill Wang Hongen, one move would be enough.

Although Wang Hongen is at level five in source power, his combat experience is clearly insufficient.

Yun Qingchang was extremely fast, and in a flash she rushed in front of Wang Hongen.

Wang Hongen was horrified. Yun Qingchang was not only fast, but a simple palm strike from her also had the power to penetrate everything.

Especially the source of power surging in Yun Qingchang's body, which was so thick and pure that it was actually two points stronger than him.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Wang Hongen would never have believed that Yun Qingchang was so powerful at such a young age. He didn't have much combat experience, and he couldn't help but feel a little panicked when facing Yun Qingchang's fierce attack.

The people around were also shocked and didn't know why Yun Qingchang attacked Wang Hongen.

Xu Yin was still shouting to stop him: "Stop!"

Yun Qingchang didn't care what Xu Yin shouted, she only listened to Gao Xuan.

After all, Wang Hongen was a man who could do great things. He remained calm at the critical moment. He knew that he could not retreat anymore, so he steadied his steps and assumed a cross fist stance.

He had practiced boxing for many years, and had mastered this defensive boxing stance to perfection. Facing Yun Qingchang's palm knife, he naturally used various variations of the cross boxing stance.

Wang Hongen found the feeling, and his boxing skills became more steady and sophisticated.

Yun Qingchang was also a little surprised. If they started to do this, it would lead to a stalemate and it would be difficult to take down Wang Hongen in a short period of time.

She no longer bothered to hide her martial arts, and the palm blade that was stabbing straight ahead suddenly turned and changed direction like a snake, passing through the gap between Wang Hongen's fists.

This snake-shaped palm blade was delicate and mysterious. Wang Hongen watched helplessly, but was powerless to dodge. Yun Qingchang's fingertips poked him in the chest.

Yun Qingchang was afraid of stabbing Wang Hongen to death, so she held back a little. But she immediately realized something was wrong. The place where her fingertips poked was tough and thick, definitely not a human body.

"He also wore armor."

Yun Qingchang immediately changed from stabbing to grabbing, and her five fingers were like hooks and tore fiercely.

With a "hiss", several cracks appeared on Wang Hongen's mountaineering suit, revealing the blue-gray protective armor inside.

This protective armor is enough to resist small-caliber pistols, and Yun Qingchang's palm knife had no effect on him at all.

Yun Qingchang was not discouraged after failing in one move. She continued to attack without hesitation.

Although Wang Hongen had protective armor, his fighting skills were far inferior to Yun Qingchang. He could only defend his face and keep retreating.

Yun Qingchang's attack was as swift as thunder and gale, not giving Wang Hongen any chance to breathe, and making Wang Hongen extremely embarrassed.

The students around were all confused. They didn't know why Yun Qingchang fought with Wang Hongen.

Yun Qingchang's swift and fierce attack also frightened them. No one dared to speak out to stop her, and no one dared to help Wang Hongen.

Seeing that Wang Hongen was about to be beaten to death, Xu Yin gritted her teeth and was about to go over to help, but was grabbed by Gao Xuan.

"Wang Hongen is not a good person."

Xu Yin was stunned. "No matter what Wang Hongen does, you can't just do it casually!"

Just as Xu Yin was about to break free from Gao Xuan, a huge roar suddenly came from the deep pit.

The roar was like the rumble of thunder and the raging of the sea. Its momentum was so majestic and magnificent, its power was so overwhelming that it shocked people and made them unable to control themselves.

Gao Xuan sensed the danger one step ahead, and he reached out and grabbed Wei Zhenzhen who was standing beside him.

The six wings of the six-winged celestial cicada vibrated at high speed, and the high-frequency silent spiritual vibration formed an invisible shield that enveloped him, Xu Yin, and Wei Zhenzhen.

As the roar passed, the invisible shield surged and undulated, but it barely held on without breaking.

Even Wei Zhenzhen, who had the lowest level of cultivation, was safe and sound.

The other people in the hall were not so lucky. They all fell to the ground with blood coming out of all their orifices.
