Chu Zihang glanced at the oxygen count and calmly analyzed: "This is a puzzle, a puzzle set by the master of the maze."
The identities of the many gods in the murals are very clear. Although many of them may be speculations by the owner of this place, it seems that there is no intention to hide it. Only the one who the owner of this place should respect the most has never been stated in the text. On roll call.
This should not be to avoid suspicion, just like the ministers who write history books will not avoid the king's name, but will write a special book about him, whether it is praise or disparagement.
Judging from the whereabouts of the bronze piece at the entrance when they entered the Jin Lunga Corridor, the bronze pieces here were not absolutely tight and solid. I don’t know whether it was a coincidence or a hint. Chu Zihang thought that there was a mural in it, and that one had the figure of the White King. The mural, which allows people to guess its identity, is the entrance and exit of the Nibelung!
"Which god will the White King be, or a giant?"
Caesar also began to recall all the murals, while Lu Chen looked at Yuan Zhisheng, "You are the blood descendants of the White King, you should have some clues, right?"
Yuan Zhisheng gave a wry smile and shook his head. At this critical moment of life and death, how could he still be in the mood to hide his secrets
But he really didn't know that for the eight Sheqi families, the White King in their historical records was just a holy corpse. Strictly speaking, it was not a White King.
If the dragons here are really the subjects of the White King, then in history, the holy skeleton has also come in the form of Yamata no Orochi, but it has never appeared to greet him. To the owner here, it is not the White King.
Therefore, the eight Sheqi families actually knew nothing about the real King Bai. They were just the unexpected bloodline left behind by the ancestors bewitched by the holy bones after King Bai was executed.
Chu Zihang was thinking quickly when a hand was put on his shoulder and he turned his head, "Brother Lu?"
"Brother Chu, calm down, your oxygen consumption is accelerating."
Lu Chen reminded that the brain's extremely fast thinking is a fast thing, and coupled with anxiety, it will consume oxygen faster.
Chu Zihang gently exhaled a breath, calmed down a little, and nodded.
In his mind, he compared the content on the mural with the Norse mythology.
Which gods did not die during Ragnarok, or were not explicitly mentioned as dead!
Hela, the god of death
No, Hela has always been in the underworld and was born relatively late. He is from the mythical age and probably doesn’t know much about history. Hela never appears in the murals. Is he really a god who existed
So are Hodr and Baldr resurrected from the underworld
Probably not. Although this is recorded in Nordic mythology, the murals do not mention the resurrection of gods.
In the same way, it is not Vader. He did not escape death in the Ragnarok on the mural, nor did he become the god of the new world with his brother Vali as said in Nordic mythology.
Who could it be!
etc!
Chu Zihang suddenly had an idea and realized that he might have fallen into a misunderstanding.
What is described on the mural may not be true, and what he "sees" may not be true. Think carefully, is there any picture that looks like death, but the text description does not accurately mention his fall? gods.
That god must also be ancient... powerful... and prestigious!
Ragnarok is supposed to be a sad war that makes all living beings despair, but the expression technique of this mural and the many textual narratives are like presenting a celebration to the audience!
The scene of the giant wolf Fenrir devouring Odin, in the performance of the mural, in the infinitely higher image of the giant wolf Fenrir, his power seems to destroy the world, he is simply the master of all things!
The text also praises the mighty power of the giant wolf Fenrir, who swallowed up the aloof god-king, like a clarion call for the rebels to charge!
When Vader killed Fenrir, the description was cursory.
Similarly, Jormungandr and the God of Thunder died together. In the mural, Jormungandr towered over the sky and covered the sun, while the God of Thunder was as small as an insect.
So in the eyes of the owner of this place, no, or in the eyes of the white emperor, Ragnarok is what he longs for, an epic worth praising.
He should still be related to Ragnarok... even one of its leaders!
He should be in the opposite direction from the gods. He should be powerful and ancient.
"Yuan-kun, you must tell us the truth, is King Bai not dead, or in what form will he return?"
Chu Zihang asked. He looked at the oxygen count and saw that it was less than three minutes. This was the countdown to their lives.
Yuan Zhisheng sighed. He had reached this point in his heart. There was no point in hiding it anymore. "The White King probably did not die completely. He left behind the holy remains when the Black King Nidhogg executed him. As a Hope of Resurrection.”
"Sacred remains? What is it probably?"
Caesar also thought about some key points and asked.
Yuan Zhisheng shook his head, "I don't know, but in our family history records, He once appeared in the form of Yamata-no-Orochi, and our ancestors also found the legendary sword, Tianzhi Congyun, in the remains of Yamata-no-Orochi. , but it was later lost.”
He didn't lie. He knew very little about the sacred remains, but his father might know more.
"Sharp sword..."
Lu Chen's focus has always been strange. He has also heard of this legend. Tianzhi Congyun is called the sharpest sword in the world and is said to be indestructible.
"Legends are legends. The so-called divine sword should be just a certain bone on the body of a dragon. How can it kill monsters and use equipment like playing games."
Caesar analyzed it.
Chu Zihang's eyes gradually brightened.
A sword that is extremely sharp and can pierce through everything.
Powerful, ancient, has hatred against the gods, and wants to launch Ragnarok.
Will praise Fenrir and Jormungandr.
Those who have the scheming to initiate Ragnarok, and those who have the strategy to avoid the execution of the Black King.
The mural looks dead, but from a deeper logical point of view, it is not dead.
…
Chu Zihang's eyes became brighter and brighter, and several other people also noticed Chu Zihang's abnormality. They all shut up and quieted down, looking at Chu Zihang, waiting for the other party to speak.
"It's Loki!"
Chu Zihang's voice sounded on the channel.
He glanced at the oxygen count and immediately said to Lu Chen: "Brother Lu, take us back three hundred meters quickly!"
Lu Chen didn't ask any questions. He grabbed the rope and ran back. Time was running out. There was no time to listen to Chu Zihang's explanation. They could only take a gamble.
After a while, Lu Chen stopped and looked at the mural in front of him.
In the mural, Loki's head was cut off, but he did not remain silent. Instead, his head jumped up, and the horn-like sword thing on his head pierced the chest of Heimdall, the guard of the Rainbow Bridge, and killed him. Loki no longer appears on the screen.
"No! It doesn't say that Loki and Heimdall died together!"
Yuan Zhisheng said in surprise.
"You guys step back."
Lu Chen lowered his body and raised his hand to shake the mountain. A huge shock wave suddenly erupted in the corridor. It was difficult for Yuan Zhisheng to stand still. Caesar and Chu Zihang could only be pulled by Yuan Zhisheng.
After three punches in a row, Lu Chen's fist bones started to bleed again. He frowned. Isn't it here
"Brother Lu, stop for a moment."
When Chu Zihang saw that Lu Chen was about to continue, he stopped him. This was a regulated area, and the bronze block was extremely heavy. It was a bit unrealistic to rely on brute force to open the door. Even if it was opened, there would probably be rock formations behind it.
"You need to use blood, dragon blood, or the blood of a special hybrid species. This wall is likely to contain living creatures!"
Caesar observed that the blood on Lu Chen's fist was stained on the bronze wall. It did not faint in the water, but gradually disappeared. Something was being absorbed!
He once saw the knowledge about alchemy in the college's elective courses, which was often used on "doors". Nono had a younger brother, and his blood was called a master key, which could open all the doors in the world. A door guarded by many living beings.
But he was a little strange. Generally speaking, living beings would be satisfied if they tasted dragon blood that was pure enough. Brother Lu was S-level. Couldn't he also satisfy the living beings in this "door"
Caesar never belittles himself, but if Brother Lu’s blood can’t open the door, then he and Chu Zihang don’t have to try.
"Let me try."
At this time, Yuan Zhisheng stood up. He made a small incision on his left hand with a spider cutter. The dragon bone state was turned on. The dragon blood greatly improved his physical fitness. Otherwise, he would have been unbearable in the high temperature here.
He smeared the bright red blood on the sharp sword above Loki's head and disappeared in an instant.
A magical thing happened. Yuan Zhisheng wanted to touch the bronze wall again, and was surprised to find that there were ripples on it like water waves. He carefully stretched out his hand, and it was able to penetrate.
"The door should be open."
He turned back to a few people and said that they didn't know what was going on on the other side, but they were almost running out of oxygen and there was no way out.
"Go over and have a look."
Lu Chen and the others took one look at each other and made a decision.
Yuan Zhisheng was the first to enter, followed by Lu Chen, then Caesar and Chu Zihang.
After passing through the bronze door, the eyes of several people suddenly opened up.
What you see is a vast concave space, with the bottom like a large bowl, but the area of this large bowl is larger than three football fields.
There is a huge orb hanging on the dome. I don't know what kind of material it is made of, but the fluorescence it emits can illuminate the entire space.
There are huge white steps from top to bottom in the basin, and there are many bronze inscriptions standing on each step. The bronze inscriptions are not coherent and juxtaposed, but staggered down. Looking from above, it looks like a huge maze.
At the bottom is a white, rounded bulge that looks like some kind of religious building.
Lu Chen and others were standing on the edge of the basin at this time, looking at this scene with some admiration.
"call-"
Lu Chen unlocked the lock on his neck, took off his hood, and turned off the oxygen delivery.
There is no water here.
Chu Zihang and others looked a little shocked when they saw Lu Chen. Even though there was no water here, it was unknown how long it had been buried underground. It was hard to say whether the air here was breathable. If you just took off your hood, you were really not afraid of anything. Poison gas or something
Lu Chen took a gentle breath, and several others also turned off the oxygen valves first, waiting with bated breath for Lu Chen's conclusion.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "It's okay. The air here is a bit stuffy, but it's not poisonous."
He can still tell whether the air is poisonous or not, but the smell here is not very good, full of copper rust and moisture, but it is much better than suffocating to death.
It seemed that they had not been able to leave the Nibelungen. That door was not an exit, but the real entrance.
There was probably enough for one minute in the oxygen tank, but Lu Chen's was slightly less. Although he had tried his best to control it, because of his high amount of exercise, he only had about half a minute's worth left.
Several others also took off their hoods and carefully breathed in the air here. It wasn't that they didn't believe Lu Chen, but they thought they were incomparable with Lu Chen, who had a monster-like physique, and they couldn't use each other as a reference.
"Tsk, it smells really bad."
Caesar frowned. The damp rusty smell was like a rag that had been soaked in sewage for many days before being taken out.
Chu Zihang and Yuan Zhisheng looked around cautiously. Chu Zihang was naturally wary of the Nibelungs, while Yuan Zhisheng knew more about the White King family.
A series of things they had encountered before showed that the owner of this place was definitely still alive and even half-awake. This was the opponent's territory. Going to war with him in the Dragon Clan's Nibelungs was definitely the worst option.
At this time, Yuan Zhisheng had already forgotten his original plan. The Nibelungs were a place outside the rules, somewhat similar to the small world in Eastern fairy tales. Their mercury could not be poured here and penetrated. Killing the owner of this place with a super harpoon on the ground is even more of a joke.
What they should consider now is not how to kill the dragons here, but how to get out and survive.
"I didn't see any big guys either."
Lu Chen looked around, his tone seemed a little disappointed.
Yuan Zhisheng was stunned for a moment. Damn it, in the current situation of their team, there is actually one person who is looking forward to fighting a next-generation species!
Lu Jun, I know that you pursue power and are very aggressive, but your current focus seems to be wrong. What we should consider now is not how to avoid that ancient dragon. It seems that you want to call it out for a fight.
"It's indeed a bit strange. This should be the interior of the Nibelungen. Why are there only these bronze inscriptions?"
Caesar took two steps forward and looked at the words on the bronze inscription. Unfortunately, it was still the words from the Gods and he couldn't understand them.
"This is something like a tombstone. It records the names of the dragons who were executed by the Black King. Legend has it that Odin has a Hall of Valor. This is probably a similar place, but these dead dragons can never return."
Yuan Zhisheng took a look and knew what these bronze inscriptions were, but he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Dragon Clan would do something like this to pay homage to the dead. He originally thought that the Dragon Clan would only kill each other and there would be no such thing as feelings. Plant something.
But if you think about it carefully, the owner of this place may have been deprived of freedom due to sin a long time ago. He stayed in this space and waited for countless hours, waiting for the king's forgiveness. During this time In this silent space, only He is waiting alone.
But in the end, he failed to wait for the king's pardon. He only waited for the news that the king and many of his compatriots were executed. He built a tombstone here and recorded history in the Jin Lunga Corridor. He could only remember him emptyly in the endless time.
Thinking about it, it's so lonely... It makes people a little sad.
