Chu Zihang first connected the wires in the broken rope together on the ground, and then tied a fire knot, but the distance he could move was much shorter than before.
"Brother Chu, can you still leave?"
Lu Chen pulled Chu Zihang up.
"It's not bad, but I may not be able to release the spirit for a while."
Chu Zihang has eliminated the violent blood, but his golden pupils cannot be extinguished. They are even more dazzling than before. He can feel the dragon's blood gradually eroding his body. The side effects of three violent blood attacks are extremely great. It can be said that he is far away from falling. Just one step away for Deadpool.
And having used violent blood three times also meant that his death slide became steeper. Maybe he didn't know that one day he would see Brother Lu again, and the knife in his hand would be aimed at his heart.
"do not think too much."
Lu Chen patted Chu Zihang on the shoulder.
"Brother Lu, your hand?"
Chu Zihang pointed at Lu Chen's hands. At this time, the diving suit where his hands were located had already broken. After all, no matter how good its quality was, it could not survive the violent impact and friction of Lu Chen's bombardment of the bronze door. He was exposed to The hands in Chishui also looked a little red, and blood was still flowing from the fist bones. The effect of force was reciprocal.
This was the first time Chu Zihang saw Brother Lu bleeding, and what worried him even more was the temperature here. Once the diving suit ruptured, red water close to boiling temperature would pour in.
"It's okay, I'm not too afraid of the heat."
Lu Chen took out a spare short rope and tied his wrists tightly. He could still bear this level of high temperature.
Chu Zihang was still a little worried and wanted to add some knowledge that deep underwater wounds combined with sudden changes in air pressure might cause air embolism, but seeing that Brother Lu was fine, he stopped talking.
Just keep it in mind.
Lu Chen observed the surrounding situation and said, "Let's go out first, you guys get ready."
"Prepare? Prepare for what?"
Caesar asked a little tiredly, the continuous use of the vampire scythe had already hollowed him out.
"Go out first and then talk."
Lu Chen checked the rope around his waist. After confirming that it was fixed, he lowered his body slightly.
"Brother Lu, you don't mean it."
Chu Zihang guessed what the other party wanted to do.
"You are too slow. Now the water flow is slowing down. It is only right to hurry up and leave this bronze corridor."
Lu Chen said, leaning down slightly. Yuan Zhisheng and the others finally understood what the other party wanted to do. Their expressions changed and they adjusted their postures to float in the water.
Lu Chen used his hands and feet together, and the huge water flow passed by him. He was like a swordfish sprinting underwater, and he rushed out in an instant.
If anyone else were here, they would see a very funny scene. Lu Chen in the front was not beautiful in his posture while moving underwater, but he was going very fast. Yuan Zhisheng with a dull expression was hanging on the left side of the rope behind him, and Yuan Zhisheng on the right was hanging on the rope behind him. Hanging out with Caesar and Chu Zihang was like flying a kite.
The fastest fish in the world can reach 109 kilometers per hour underwater, but Lu Chen's forward speed at this time was nearly twice that. It was like an underwater torpedo. It would have been the same if there wasn't someone hanging behind him. If he encounters underwater resistance, he can still go faster.
After about three minutes, Lu Chen stopped.
It wasn't because Chu Zihang said in the public channel that he felt a little nauseous, but because he sensed something was wrong.
He had traveled more than ten kilometers. It is difficult for people to judge verticality underwater, but Lu Chen could still feel that the Jinlunga Corridor should be diagonally upward. How could it be so long
"Lu Jun, you also discovered it."
Yuan Zhisheng said, he stabilized his body and looked at the murals carved on the bronze walls on both sides.
"what do you mean?"
Although Lu Chen didn't like Yuan Zhisheng at the moment, he knew that he still had to rely on this "educated" person here.
"We're coming around again."
Yuan Zhisheng didn't look very good at this time.
Lu Chen looked at the murals on both sides. They seemed familiar, but he wasn't sure.
Yuan Zhisheng turned off the pulley on his waist. He took a few steps back and touched a wall. His expression worsened. He waved and said, "Come and see."
Lu Chen and others came over and saw a shallow knife mark on the bronze wall.
"Can you row?"
Lu Chen thought of something, and his expression gradually became weird.
Yuan Zhisheng nodded and said, "This is the mark I left on the wall with a spider when you first started running with us, Mr. Lu, and we circled back again."
"Could it be a knife mark that existed before?"
Caesar had just regained some strength and frowned at the knife marks on the wall.
"No, of course I remember."
As he spoke, Yuan Zhisheng pulled out the spider cutter and compared it on the wall.
Chu Zihang came over and touched the knife mark, "It's a fresh mark, no rust."
His face was a little blue at this time, mainly because he was not very good at such intense events, so he never rode roller coasters in amusement parks.
"Have you seen this before?"
Lu Chen asked. He had met Fengjian Liuli and knew that Yuan Zhisheng was hiding many things from them. Thinking of his main mission, the secrets hidden by the other party were probably related to King Bai.
As a very important figure in the Japanese branch, Nayuan Zhisheng should know a lot about these gods and goddesses in the territory.
Regarding the matter of Kazama Ruri, he thought for a while but still didn't report it to the academy. He always had a hunch that this person might be of some use.
"No... but we are all students of Cassel College. You should have learned something related to this strange phenomenon in the course."
Yuan Zhisheng looked at the oxygen count. They only had thirty minutes left, but they were trapped here.
"Nibelungen."
Chu Zihang's voice was a little dry, and his golden eyes, which were already weak after the violent bloodshed, became dazzling again, as if some kind of fire was igniting from the abyss and was about to rush into the world. It was the flame of revenge.
Lu Chen glanced at Chu Zihang silently, knowing that this was not the time to talk about other things, so he only asked his main doubt, "Nibelungen?"
"Brother Lu, aren't you surprised if you don't know? This is something we only talk about in our sophomore year. Nibelung is the country of the dead in Nordic mythology... Niflheim, the country of fog, is a place that the living cannot reach. Only the dead can go there, and all matter in the Nibelungs is dead, including the elements.”
Caesar paused for a moment, looked at the seemingly endless Golden Gallon Corridor, and said: "The Nibelungs are usually only built by pure-blooded dragons of the second generation or above. We may really encounter it this time. Big guy."
Lu Chen was a little puzzled and said: "But what does this have to do with the situation we are facing now? Whether the elements are dead or alive does not seem to be an issue that we should care about now. Our current situation is more like a ghost beating a wall."
Lu Chen knew very little about Nordic mythology. He had heard of Ghost Beating the Wall, but this was the first time he had seen it.
"The rules in the Nibelung are set by the owner of this place. According to Yuanjun, this is the Golden Gallon Corridor, which symbolizes the meaning of the abyss, and the abyss is infinite. This should be the reason for the creation of this Nibelung." The rules set by dragons with dragon roots.”
Chu Zihang explained that this was not the first time he had seen such a strange environment. Although he could not explain it clearly, he should be the most experienced in understanding the Nibelungs.
He also drove a Maybach on that elevated road. Later, he calmed down and thought about it. The distance he drove was too far compared to the exit of the elevated road.
He even suspected that if his father hadn't struggled to hold the guy in the shroud back, he wouldn't have been able to escape.
"This Dragon Clan is really boring. Since we are now in the Nibelung Roots, which is what Brother Chu said, this is its world, then it should have noticed our arrival, but now this attitude is to close the door and refuse guests. ?”
Lu Chen was a little depressed. He always heard from the academy how cruel and proud the Dragon Clan was, but all he encountered were not very convenient things. Wouldn't it be nice to come out and get chopped up openly
"It is said in the academy courses that the rules in the Nibelungs are pre-set by the dragons. It is their private space and also plays a certain role in resisting enemies. This can be regarded as a self-protection mechanism. If the owner of this place still If you are sleeping, you may not know that we are coming.”
Yuan Zhisheng explained that he began to look at the murals on the wall and racked his brains to recall the ancient texts he had learned.
"So what do we do now?"
Lu Chen was relatively calm, but he wasn't very optimistic either. He could barely open a piece of bronze slowly sideways, but it was undoubtedly a fantasy to knock down the bronze block above and move it away, and then find a way to dig through the rock formation.
Moreover, after listening to the explanations of Chu Zihang and others, he knew that this place was a bit evil, and it probably couldn't be cracked by brute force. There might not be rock formations behind these huge bronze blocks.
At this time, he was a little lucky. Fortunately, he did not get down alone. There were "intellectuals" like Brother Chu here, otherwise he would have been blinded at this moment.
"Logically speaking, there is a 'sect of life' in the Nibelungs. It's just that we have to understand the rules here before we have a chance to find the location of the door of life."
Chu Zihang analyzed, and he also looked at the murals on the wall. From the ground to the walls to the top of the Jinlunga Corridor, there were murals, which seemed to record some kind of epic.
He stretched out his hand and felt the space. Sure enough, the water was not flowing and everything here was dead.
Entering the Nibelung requires a certain interface, such as water, mirror and other media, and they are in an underground river with media everywhere. Brother Lu rushed too fast just now and he was a little dizzy, so it is impossible to guess when they will Entering the Nibelungs…
The only clues now are the murals on these walls.
He turned to Yuan Zhisheng and said: "Yuan Jun, this place is written in your God's language, can you understand it?"
Even if someone is as knowledgeable as him, this language is too unpopular, and now he can only rely on Yuan Zhisheng.
Yuan Zhisheng looked at the successive murals in the corridor with solemn eyes, and his expression was not good: "I can understand part of it, and the wall where I left my mark seems to be the beginning of the record."
Because Lu Chen rushed in too fast before, he only had time to make a mark with his knife and did not take a closer look at these murals. However, this mural seems to be the beginning of all the stories. Is this a coincidence
For some reason, Yuan Zhisheng suddenly felt that a shadow called fate had come to them, hiding behind them and letting out a harsh sneer.
At this time, Lu Chen and others also retreated slightly and looked at the mural.
Above the painting is a blurry shadow, which seems to mean chaos. Below is a deeply cracked, extremely huge chasm. The entire chasm is filled with emptiness and nothingness. There are no trees, no weeds, nothing. Things, nothing.
After watching carefully, Lu Chen was also stunned by this mural. He didn't know anything about carving or painting, but he could also appreciate what a master the person who carved this mural was. Each stroke was full of majestic momentum. The vastness of that long-ago era comes out through the murals and goes straight into people's minds.
"The Golden Lunga Divide, which in Norse mythology represents the absolute emptiness before creation."
Chu Zihang couldn't understand the words on it, but he could see what the painting was.
"What does it say?"
Caesar was curious and looked at Yuan Zhisheng. He was as familiar with Nordic mythology as Chu Zihang. The words they couldn't understand were the key.
Yuan Zhisheng read it word for word and translated: "This is a guilty person's account of history. It says that the Jin Lunga Divide is the original place and the beginning of everything."
"Guilty person?"
Lu Chen was confused, wondering why the guy who created these murals called himself so.
"Lu Jun, don't interrupt me yet. There are a lot of these murals and we don't have much time. Let's look at them as we walk. I will translate them for you in real time. If there are key clues, we will discuss them later."
Yuan Zhisheng said and began to interpret these murals again.
Lu Chen shrugged. Illiterates had no human rights, but he did not talk to Yuan Zhisheng about this matter. He also knew that time was tight now. It seemed that after returning to the academy after this mission, he should take more cultural classes.
The next mural in the series depicts the intersection of ice and fire, and the birth of a giant standing tall on the sky. Even in the huge Jin Lunga Gap, it is still so conspicuous.
Yuan's childish voice narrated: "When the heat wave of the Land of Fire touches the rime, it melts into water droplets. With the power of the heat source, the water droplets have the pulse of life, and they take on a human form, named Ymir (not That Ymir!).”
Chu Zihang and Caesar didn't interrupt, but when they looked at each other, they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Although the academy often uses Nordic mythology as a reference for the history of the Dragon Clan, they think many of the contents are nonsense. But now on the wall where the Dragon Clan records history, they actually see the Jin Lunga Gap and the original giant Ymir. !
That was the original first life, and even the World Tree, in Nordic mythology, was just a tree growing from His heart!
This is a great discovery of the century, even more shocking than the discovery of the lost country Atlantis on the bottom of the sea. If these news can be sent back to the academy, it will be a major step forward for mankind in understanding the dragon clan, comparable to the human journey on Moon!
Yuan Zhisheng led several people through the Jin Lunga Corridor step by step. His voice was calm but he spoke very fast because they didn't have much time.
Lu Chen also gradually became immersed in this story from the ancient times. Even though the records of these murals were only some major events, the connection in series made him feel the atmosphere of that mythical era.
