Chapter 20, Sphinx
The noisy construction site suddenly calmed down, and everyone stared silently at the dark cave that devoured 20 warriors with curiosity, expectation and nervousness. No one dared to make a sound. They have been in for a long time, but there has been no sound. Even if the stone tower is extremely wide, if it is in a straight line, it should have come out of the big hole on the other side!
"Fifty more warriors!" Lin Xiaoyu finally waited a little impatiently and immediately gave an order to the general beside him. Soon another 50 warriors entered the cave, but they still disappeared and had no life. Just as Lin Xiaoyu was preparing to send the third batch of warriors, he suddenly heard the craftsmen and soldiers around him cheering: "Come out! It's coming out! They came out!"
The 20 warriors who entered the stone tower first still tied each other with ropes and slowly walked out of the hole on the other side, and they were immediately taken to the fierce king.
"Quickly! What's in the stone tower? The king eagerly asked the crowd with an extremely excited and nervous expression, which was the excitement and tension he had never seen in his life.
"I don't know!" Twenty warriors shook their heads one after another, looking a little dull.
"I don't know?" Lin Xiaoyu was stunned, "You 20 people have been in for so long, don't you know anything?"
"I don't know!" Everyone still shook their heads.
Lin Xiaoyu's face darkened and his voice suddenly became harsh: "If you don't know anything, what else should I leave you to do? Let me ask again, what did you see after entering the stone tower?
"I didn't see anything." Everyone answered in confusion, and their expressions and manners were a little different from those of ordinary people. However, Lin Xiaoyu did not notice this. He only felt that everyone ignored his authority and couldn't help but look cold. He pointed to one of the entourage warriors and ordered, "Drag me down and kill me!"
The warrior was immediately dragged down, and soon the bloody head was sent to the king, who nodded with satisfaction. However, the remaining 19 warriors were completely unchanged and completely indifferent to the death of their companions.
"I'll ask again, what do you see?"
"I didn't see anything." The remaining warriors still shook their heads. The martyr king was finally completely enraged, suddenly drew his sword and killed one person with his own hands, and then pointed his bloody sword at the crowd and asked, "What's in the stone tower?"
Everyone's answer remains unchanged. The king killed several people angrily, but at this time, he heard the craftsmen and soldiers calling again: "Come out! They also came out."
The second batch of 50 warriors also slowly came out from the other side, and the king immediately abandoned these warriors who knew nothing and turned to those new adventurers. Unexpectedly, their answer was the same as that of the first samurai. No one knew what was in the stone tower. At this time, the fierce king finally saw the strangeness. In fact, with his wisdom, he should have seen this abnormal long ago, but under the great excitement and expectation of breaking the sacred stone tower, he killed several people in a muddle for a while.
Looking at the dark cave in a daze, Lin Xiaoyu finally understood that no matter how many warriors were sent in, the result was still the same. Just as I didn't know what to do, the heavenly mage beside me suddenly whispered, "According to ancient historical records, the construction shape of this stone tower can gather some mysterious power in the universe, which is very harmful to people who enter it without authorization."
"Maybe it would be better to have 'dragon blood elixir'." Lin Xiaoyu looked at the cave thoughtfully, and then suddenly turned around and asked the attendants behind him, "Where is Princess Yaoji?"
"The princess is about to arrive in Poseidon under the escort of the border leader and the underworld mage."
"Good! Temporarily shut down the stone tower and wait for their arrival!" The king finally suppressed the strong impulse in his heart and temporarily suppressed the idea of adventure.
A small team of Dongxuan Royal Forest Army with distinctive armor looks extremely eye-catching on the chaotic and dirty streets of Poseidon. Those Western soldiers who fought bloody and were even disabled on the front line have instinctive hostility and hatred towards these imperial forest troops who enjoyed the fruits of victory. But they dare not show this attitude, because walking in front of the team is the first swordsman of Dongxuan Kingdom, the commander of the imperial forest army, and beside him is Cang Ming, the most famous magic master of Dongxuan Xuanmen.
Slowly controlling the horse walking on the streets of the enemy's capital, Bian Changfeng did not have the glory and sense of achievement of the conqueror in his heart, only indescribable repression and shock. The devastated Poseidon was completely different from the last time he saw it. The ubiquitous corpses, the crying and begging for mercy heard from time to time, and the animal cheers of his compatriots were all stimulating his tough nerves. Even if he was born in the army, he never thought that the war would be so bloody, cruel and unreasonable.
Bian Changfeng was disgusted with this errand. If it hadn't been for the order of Emperor Yu, he, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, must personally lead his subordinates to send Princess Yaoji, who had just recovered her mind, to Poseidon and send it to the army of the King of the King. He would never want to see Princess Yaoji full of melancholy, but still gave her to the King of Lie. .
A small-scale battle on the street ahead prevented this team of royal forest troops from sending their relatives, and Bian Changfeng dissatisfiedly stopped a general of the Western Expeditionary Army and asked, "What's going on ahead? Haven't you completely controlled the situation?"
The general saw that it was Bian Changfeng and hurriedly put away and replied arrogantly and respectfully, "Originally, but recently a master of Western swordsmanship suddenly appeared in the city. He was haunted in the streets and alleys of Poseidong, assassinated many generals on our side, and contacted many Western warriors hiding in Poseidong and kept carrying out to our army. Harassment attacks are a headache. But today they are finally firmly surrounded by us and will soon be completely annihilated!"
Bian Changfeng looked at the battle on the street in front of him, watching his companions keep falling, and dozens of Western warriors fighting trapped beasts. He was completely indifferent, as if he had nothing to do with him. The imperial army behind him got up and won the victory. Everyone couldn't help but want to come forward and kill the enemy bravely. On the one hand, to show the prestige of the imperial army, and on the other hand, they also earned some military merit for themselves. However, Bian Changfeng suddenly raised his hand to stop the crowd and indifferently ordered: "Let's wait in place."
The battlefield gradually moved this way, and a thin warrior suddenly attracted the eyes of Bian Changfeng. He saw him covered with a black scarf, and a starry sword roared gently in the crowd. Although he was already bathed in blood and had a broken arrow in his shoulder, no one could stop him.
It's her! Bian Changfeng was shocked. At a glance, he recognized the female descendant of the star-flow sword that had fought with him. Only her sword had such a fast speed and haunting trajectory. Bian Changfeng hesitated. Although it was his long-cherished wish to fight with the descendants of Xingliu Sword Fighting, he really didn't want to fight with him at this moment.
Her companions fell one by one, and finally she was left alone, struggling needlessly under the heavy siege of the Dongxuan warriors. Under heavy casualties, the Dongxuan warriors retreated one after another, picked up bows and arrows and aimed at this tenacious enemy. She finally gave up the battle and calmly brushed her golden temples in the face of hundreds of arrows, and the masked black scarf floated down, revealing her handsome and resolute face.
As soon as she saw a beautiful woman, the Dongxuan warriors shouted one after another: "Put down your weapons and spare you not to die!"
She calmly wiped away the blood stains on her face in the drum noise of the crowd, and her light eyes crossed the Dongxuan warriors who surrounded her, looked around with nostalgia and looked at the devastated hometown of Poseidon. Then, her eyes crossed the towering city of Poseidon and fell on the sky in the far north and the sky above the country of ice and snow. There was a trace of tenderness in her eyes, muttering a name with tenderness. Finally, she slowly put the sword across her throat. Everyone relaxed their bows with regret and let her self-determination with dignity with respect. At this moment, a white shadow suddenly jumped in mid-air, grabbed her body in the air, and then rose to the sky, coming and going like the wind!
"Wing Man!" Everyone shouted and shot the arrows into the air, and hundreds of strong bows and powerful crossbows sent out hundreds of arrows with the light roar of death, like locusts flying suddenly, and the arrow feathers filled their bodies in an instant. The two fell straight from mid-air and landed on the eaves of the street. Their bodies were full of arrows and wore them together.
"Alette!"
"Kunair!"
The two called each other's names at the same time. There was no surprise or sadness, only a kind of relief and tranquility. Why are you so stupid?" Kunel stroked Alette's beautiful cheeks, and his eyes were full of pity.
"Mother told me everything," Alette kissed Kuner's bloody hand on his cheek. "You shouldn't lie to me, but it's not too late." With that, Alette pulled out a short arrow from the arrow pot and said, "I made another arrow again and dedicated it to the only girl I fell in love with in my life. I hope she won't refuse again this time."
"No! I won't!" Kunier took the arrow of Edir with tears in his eyes, with joy and regret. "Unfortunately, I accepted it a little late."
"It's not too late. It's not too late for me!" Alette said and held Kunel tightly in his arms. The blood of the two gathered together and dripped down the eaves.
Some soldiers began to try to climb the eaves. The head of the leader of a large Western rebel and the wings of a pair of winged men, which was a great military achievement. This two-story wooden building in Dongxuan architectural style is not difficult for them, and some people have climbed up the eaves with the help of their companions.
" Stop it! Get down!" Bian Changfeng's fierce shout made the soldiers at a loss. They didn't know why the commander of the imperial army was angry. Although he didn't know why, under his murderous eyes, everyone had to climb down the eaves obediently.
Bian Changfeng's shout attracted Kunell's attention. She smiled gratefully at her most eager opponent in her life. "It turned out to be Commander Bian. Failure to fight with you is my biggest regret for 20 years of practicing swords."
"You won't have any more regrets!" Bian Changfeng turned over and got off his horse, slowly walked to the middle of the long street, slowly pulled out his long sword in the bleak autumn wind, and stood in front of him and saluted Kunair solemnly: "Please give me some advice!"
After saying that, Bian Changfeng began to dance alone in the middle of the long street, sometimes like a butterfly dance, sometimes like a dragon going to sea. Dongxuan's unparalleled swordsmanship is unreservedly displayed in front of Kunier.
Before half of the swordsmanship, Kunel and Alette have hugged each other, but Bian Changfeng is still practicing meticulously. This is the greatest respect of a warrior to another warrior, and the highest salute of a warrior to another warrior.
Finally, after all the difficult and complex swordsmanship practices were completed, the long wind stood with the sword and silently to the most eager opponent in his life on the eaves. Then he suddenly took two steps forward, and the left and right swords suddenly waved to the porch pillar in front of the door, and the two thick wooden pillars suddenly answered. Broken. The two-storey wooden building suddenly lost half of its support and immediately collapsed, burying the tightly hugged Cunel and Alette in the ruins.
"Give me the torch!" Under the order of the commander of the Royal Forest Army, several soldiers quickly handed over the torches in their hands. Bian Changfeng took the torch, threw it into the ruins of the collapsed wooden building, and calmly looked at the blazing fire gradually spreading.
It was not until the wooden building completely turned into a sea of fire that the long wind turned over and pointed forward, and issued a simple and short command: "Let's go!"
The royal army that sent his relatives continued to move forward through the barren streets of Poseidon. The battle is over, leaving only the conquerors enjoying the feast of the war, and the losers sacrificing their flesh and blood and dignity.
The team didn't go far, and the war horse suddenly stopped, and the long wind immersed in his inner world raised his eyes and looked at the blocker. He was a Dongxuan warrior, 256 years old, with an ordinary appearance and shabby clothes, but he could not hide his natural aristocratic temperament. This should have been a partner on the same front, but at this moment, the hostility in the other party's eyes forced the war horse to dare to move forward.
"Let's get out of the way!" Bian Changfeng was depressed and didn't want to have any entanglement with the other party. He just shouted indifferently. Unexpectedly, the young man holding the knife handle did not mean to make way in front of a team of imperial troops. He just held his head high and said, " Commander, I want to challenge you!"
Challenge? How long has it been since I heard this? Bian Changfeng thought regretfully, but he did not intend to fight, and not every challenger was worth his own action. He gave a slight signal to a general beside him, and the royal warrior immediately rushed forward and bent down to get out of the wind. This sword had the momentum of a war horse, and its speed was amazing!
When! When the swords collided, the young man was not knocked down by the sword. People and horses staggered by, and the young man still stood firmly. The royal army warrior who took action took a circle in front of him and slowly turned back. He raised his sword and was ready to make a second attack, but was stopped by Bian Changfeng raising his hand.
"Who are you?" Bian Changfeng asked coldly. From that knife just now, he has seen that this young man is a rare knifeman and will not be unknown. More importantly, he has recognized that he had seen him in a tavern in Poseidon last time!
"Yasin!" The young man only answered two words simply, but a trace of surprise flashed in Bian Changfeng's eyes, "The son of Abedu, the owner of Dongling City? Have you ever killed a sea python alone?
"Not bad!"
"Why block the road challenge?"
"Because," Yaxin took a deep breath, "I'm going to take Princess Yaoji away."
"Yasin, is it really you?" The chariot behind lifted a thick curtain, and Princess Yaoji with thin and pale cheeks looked against the window. Her eyes were full of tears of excitement and muttered in disbelief, "It's really you! It's really you! You're finally here!"
"I'm sorry, Yaoji," Yaxin stared at Yaoji affectionately and muttered regretfully, "I shouldn't have sent you to Jincheng at all. I shouldn't have given you to the King of Lie at all. I didn't know how important you were to me until you disappeared, so I came. I hope it's not too late.
"It's too late!" Yaoji suddenly gritted her teeth and put down the curtain and choked through the thick curtain, "Go away, I don't want to see you anymore!"
"You can't lie to me!" Yasin raised his voice to the chariot, "Are you afraid that I can't save you and die in vain? But you don't know that life has no meaning to me without you!"
Yaoji's suppressed sobs came from the curtain, and in the long street, Yasinna took a heavy breath after making up her mind. The two were silently separated by the curtain and several feet away, and the long street calmed down for a moment. In the silence, Bian Changfeng sighed gently and said indifferently, "Young man, you go. I'm here. Can't you take the princess away?
"So, I want to challenge you!" Yaxin looked at the famous first swordsman in front of him, and a strong sense of war surged in his eyes.
Bian Changfeng shook his head helplessly, "Do you think you really have the strength to fight with me?"
Yaxin stared proudly at the long wind and said calmly, "There are always things in the world that you know can't do, but you still have to do it."
Bian Changfeng was stunned. How long has it been since he heard this sentence that he had also said? How long has it been since I said it? He was stunned on the horse for a long time. It was not until the royal army subordinates behind him stood up uneasily that he turned over and got off his horseback, slowly came to the opposite Yaxin, and solemnly drew his sword and saluted Yaxin: "Please!"
The sword finally waved out in unison. Dongxuan's first swordsman was indeed not a false reputation. He only looked at him a few times and heard the long wind shout softly: "Yes!" Jianfeng passed lightly through Yaxin's throat, leaving a shallow scar on his neck. He happened to see blood, but it was not fatal.
Yaxin only stayed for a stay, and immediately shouted and rushed forward again. This duel is no longer a martial arts competition for him, but a life-and-death battle that can never be lost, even beyond life and death. He can't give up because of the mercy of the other party!
Bian Changfeng's sword not only cut off the armor on Yasin's wrist, but also cut off his skin. Yasin's palm suddenly lost strength and couldn't hold the machete. The long knife fell to the ground with a sound. He did not hesitate to pick up the long knife with his other hand and rushed up again clumsily.
Bian Changfeng sighed secretly. The young man's martial arts were not worth it at all in front of him, but his tenacity was admirable. With regret and helplessness, Bian Changfeng cut his other wrist again. He really didn't want to pester with him anymore.
Both hands were injured, Yaxin's howling became more and more tragic, and his feet were kicked out in a row. As long as there was still a breath, he would never give up!
His legs were sworded again, and Yasin fell to the ground weakly. He tried his best to stand up and continue fighting. But after struggling several times and falling down several times, he finally knelt down helplessly, beat his disappointing legs desperately, and cried like a child. This warrior, who would rather die than surrender, knelt in front of his opponent and cried helplessly for his incompetence and the strength of his opponent.
"You killed me! You kill me!" He struggled to climb to the side of the long wind, and the blood stains left a red painting mark on the long street as he moved forward.
"Yasin!" Yaoji, who was still very weak, finally struggled to stumble to Yaxin's side, held him tightly in her arms, looked at the side long wind calmly, and her eyes were surprisingly quiet. " Commander Bian, please kill us!"
Bian Changfeng's hand holding the sword was tight and tight, and the sword trembled involuntarily. This rock-steady hand couldn't hold his sword for the first time. ――――There are always some things in the world that you know you can't do, but you still have to do them! He suddenly remembered what he had said a long time ago.
"You go!" He suddenly put away his sword, turned around and turned over his saddle, and stopped looking at the two.
The two embracing each other were stunned and looked at the long wind with a dull expression in disbelief, and couldn't believe the sudden happiness. Until the other party waved impatiently and said, "Go! So that I don't regret it!" The two supported each other and stumbled to the side alley.
"Leader, do you really let them go? The general saw that the two were about to disappear in the depths of the alley. He couldn't help reminding him in a low voice. Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Bian Changfeng's stern eyes, and he had to swallow the words back. Bian Changfeng said coldly, "I told them to go!"
"God's will, it's God's will!" The underworld mage, who had been standing by and watching, sighed, "Is it really God's intention to destroy the whole Atlantis? Even the only artifact 'Dragon Blood Elixir' can't be sent to the king?"
"I don't know what God's will is!" Bian Changfeng suddenly fell on his stomach and took the lead in running forward. A voice with a sense of relaxation and relief came from afar. "All I know is that above God's will, there is an emotion that dominates the human soul, which transcends all the principles in the world, including my responsibility and loyalty. I think that's the true nature of everyone!"
Cang Ming looked at the distant back of the long wind, and his eyes showed a thoughtful look. He sighed in his heart: Perhaps, he should not give up his respect for God because he saw the more and more obvious signs of disaster and try to open the sacred stone tower with the "dragon blood elixir" to find a way to escape the disaster. Maybe this is the real God's will, right?
"What? Did you let Princess Yaoji go? Lin Xiaoyu, a martyr who was waiting for the arrival of the "dragon blood elixir", couldn't help staring angrily and asking the commander of the imperial forest army standing in front of him, "Bian, Chang, wind! Do you know the crime?"
"Your Highness, don't worry, Bian Changfeng has not fulfilled his duty to escort, and he should pay for his dereliction of duty with blood!" With that, Bian Changfeng calmly drew his sword and scratched his throat, and his face was surprisingly relaxed and quiet. Lin Xiaoyu stared at the iron-blooded man in front of him and suddenly found that even if he was powerful, there were still many people and emotions in the world that he could not control.
Sitting down in the handsome position, Lin Xiaoyu suddenly felt that he had never failed before. You can disrespect the gods, but you should not disrespect this human nature that cannot be humiliated.
"Come on! Search the whole city! If you dig three feet, you have to find Princess Yaoji!" Lin Xiaoyu suddenly jumped up. As long as they hadn't escaped from Poseidon, they wouldn't have to worry about finding them.
"Your Highness, the Western Expeditionary Army of the Great West has come to the city and is about to launch an attack." The department reminded in a low voice. Lin Xiaoyu was stunned and sat down again. In peacetime, even if there were only 50,000 jockeys, he was confident to deal with the 200,000 Western Imperial Army. But this time, the army was led by Marshal McRae, who was invincible in the West, and the 200,000 Western Expeditionary Army in his hand was the most elite force in the Great West. And the remaining 50,000 warriors have already consumed the combat effectiveness of their survival in the feast of the war in Poseidon.
It's late, it's too late! God's time is running out for you. Lin Xiaoyu sat in the handsome position and was speechless when he looked at the void. After enough time, he gradually gathered his eyes with a twinkling cold light and resolute determination, staring at an unknown point in the void--the position of the gods in his mind, calmly and softly ordered the general: "Get ready, I You have to visit the sacrificial tower in person.
In fact, there is nothing to prepare, just a torch and some ropes and portable weapons. Almost all the senior generals of the Dongxuan Western Expedition rushed to the stone tower and looked at the burly figure of the martyr Lin Xiaoyu with a complicated and worried look, gradually disappearing into the newly opened dark cave. From beginning to end, no general dared to dissuade him.
Time passed, and it took a long time to eat. Just as everyone began to feel uneasy, they finally saw Lie Wang Lin Xiaoyu coming out of the cave on the other side as usual. There was neither the joy of the sky, nor the loss of nothing on his face, only a calm, or even dull.
"Your Highness thelie wang!" The generals surrounded with concern, but no one dared to ask about the situation in the stone tower. If the king can't answer, wouldn't it offend his dignity?
"Your Highness, the Western Expeditionary Army of the West has begun to attack the city. What should we do?" A general whispered the most urgent military situation to the king. Lin Xiaoyu did not answer the general's words directly, but asked, "Yes, what should we do?"
The general thought that the King was testing his adaptability as usual, so he replied hesitantly, "If we stick to this Poseidon, I'm afraid we won't be able to support it for long under the strong attack of the other side's 200,000 troops."
"If you can't support it, then withdraw!" Lie Wang said without thinking about it.
"But we were besieged by McRae's 200,000 troops and could not break through at all. If you take the sea, there are not so many boats. The general said urgently. However, Lin Xiaoyu was not in a hurry at all and said disapprovingly, "Then guard!"
"But you can't keep it!"
"If you can't keep it, withdraw. If you can't withdraw, keep it. Is there a third way? Did you tell me?" Lin Xiaoyu was a little annoyed and waved his hand impatiently, "I'm tired. Don't bother me with these little things. I want to rest!" With that, he ignored the generals and left the stone tower alone and returned to the temporary Chinese army tent.
The generals looked at each other. They finally found that after leaving the sacrificial tower, the king was completely like a changed person. He was no longer the original general Changsheng who was in command and confident, but like an ordinary person who was incompetent and shirked responsibility.
The 200,000 Western Imperial Army surrounded Poseidon, but it had not yet launched a general attack and only made some small-scale tests. After all, the opponent is the famous king Lin Xiaoyu, and McRae does not dare to underestimate the enemy. In particular, the Dongxuan army that occupied Poseidon was not resolute, suddenly and decisive, and even completely surrounded there was no sign of breaking out, which made McRae see through Lin Xiaoyu's intention. He, who has always used troops cautiously, will never act rashly before seeing the other party's intention clearly, so although the armies of the two countries gathered inside and outside Poseidon, the war still seemed very calm.
The Dongxuan soldiers in the city have foresaw that they are about to pay for the war and are seizing the fruits of conquest at the last time, so the city of Poseidon is in chaos, like hell on earth. On such a chaotic and dark night, a sham boat quietly entered the port of Poseidon, and Dumas, which had been tarded on the sea for nearly a month, quietly set foot on the almost unguarded pier with a "black totem".
Looking at Poseidon, which has been away for more than two months, Dumas tightened the "black totem" tied to his back and quietly sneaked into the tower in the center of the city at night.
On the night after Dumas arrived in Poseidon, an ocean-going ship with a broken mast and a damaged hull also quietly sailed into the quiet harbor of Poseidon and moored just a miles away from the dock. A small sampan was placed on the ship and slowly rowed towards the dock. The three shadows quietly set foot on the dock of Poseidon at night. They were Xia Feng, Ji Xuanxuan and Jia Xinna.
With the cover of the night, Xia Feng took Ji Xuanxuan and Jia Xinna to quietly touch the sacrificial tower standing in the center of the city. From afar, they saw that the sacred stone pagoda was unguarded at all, which was a little strange to the three of them. But he didn't know that since Lie Wang Lin Xiaoyu personally explored the stone tower, almost no one paid attention to the stone tower.
When approaching the stone tower was less than 20 feet, Xia Feng saw the two big holes dug by gunpowder, which were dark like an ancient well. The three were about to approach, but they heard a burst of ** in the stone tower, followed by a dull impact sound, which was so huge that the earth was trembling. It's like a huge beast that wants to break out of the shackles of the stone tower. Ji Xuanxuan suddenly stopped and shouted in horror, "There is a giant monster in the stone tower. I have seen it in my dream. It has a human face, which is very horrible!"
Monster? Xia Feng and Jia Xinna, two "swaways" don't care much about this, and they still want to get close to the stone tower. Ji Xuanxuan shook her head in fear: "Let's not go, I'm afraid!"
Xia Feng and Jia Xinna exchanged a look, and then said to Ji Xuanxuan, "Well, you wait here. Let's go and have a look and come back."
The two approached it carefully despite the horrible gasp from the stone tower. Under the heavy impact inside it, the boulders of the stone tower were trembling. The two were curious and did not enter the stone pagoda from the two excavated caves, but found a shrine on the east wall of the stone pagoda. There were two grooves in the shrine, one of which looked exactly the position of the "Maple Star". Xia Feng took out the Western artifact in the bag and tried it. As expected, it was silk and sewn, which was not bad.
"Two?" Xia Feng was a little strange and couldn't help muttering to himself, "I remember that Dumas said that there are three artifacts, Maple Star, Black Totem and Dragon Blood Elixir. Why are there only two positions?"
"I also know that there are three artifacts," Jia Xinna also looked at the shrine puzzledly. "Where should the third one be placed?"
The impact sound in the stone tower shocked the nearby Dongxuan army, and finally someone dared to come to check it. Xia Feng and Jia Xinna did not dare to stay any longer and quietly returned to the place where Ji Xuanxuan hid just now with doubts. But Ji Xuanxuan came up excitedly and whispered to Xia Feng, "Guess who I met just now?"
Before Xia Feng could answer, she proudly waved to a corner of the wall, "Come out, there are no outsiders here."
Xia Feng looked at the corner of the wall doubtfully and saw nothing for a long time. He was about to ask Ji Xuanxuan, but he saw that she had squatted down and said excitedly to the ground, "I miss you so much!"
Xia Feng suddenly realized when he saw the ground, and immediately squatted down and said happily, "It's Sam and Bona. What a surprise! I didn't expect to see you again!"
Two three-inch tall villains also said excitedly, "We didn't expect to see you again!" When we first arrived in Poseidon, we didn't understand the local 'borrowers' language at all, so we couldn't let them send a message to contact you. When we learn the local language to contact you, we will never receive your reply.
"Oh, we were probably at sea at that time." Xia Feng hurriedly explained that he noticed Bona's slightly bulging stomach and couldn't help but congratulate Sam happily, "Are you going to be a father? Congratulations!"
Ji Xuanxuan carefully touched Bona's stomach, "How many months?"
"It's almost six months!" Sam said excitedly and worriedly, "Not long ago, our original house was destroyed by the war, so we moved here. Alas, I don't know when this war will end, and we are also having a hard time now. Then he smiled happily, "If it hadn't been for this, I'm afraid we wouldn't have met so coincidentally. I should have taken you to see our new home!" But now that the soldiers are in chaos, you really shouldn't run around in Poseidon.
Suddenly remembered Sam's special skills, Xia Feng had an idea and said, "If you don't go to visit your new home, can you do me a favor, Sam?"
"No problem! What's the matter?" Sam immediately agreed and seemed a little excited. He probably didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to help a giant friend. Xia Feng thought for a moment, "Please help me inquire about something from your people, that is, everything related to the Poseidon Sacrifice Tower, including the whereabouts of the three artifacts of the three peoples, and how to open it, etc. The more detailed the better!"
"Okay! We will go back and inquire immediately, and soon we will get everything you want to know!"
"That's great. Let's find a place to hide first. You can find out the news before you come to us!"
Xia Feng and Ji Xuanxuan reluctantly broke up with two "borrowing" friends, and then, according to their guidance, they found an abandoned house nearby without the harassment of Dongxuan soldiers, and the three stayed in it for a while. The next night, Sam brought the news that Xia Feng and they wanted. First of all, he mentioned that Wang Lin Xiaoyu, a martyr of Dongxuan, rashly chiseled the stone tower and personally entered the inside of the stone tower to explore. After coming out, he was in a trance, his temperament changed greatly, and his command of the army was also full of mistakes, just like a new soldier who had never fought a war.
Xia Feng suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart when he heard this. He couldn't help but think of Napoleon, who once led the French army to sweep the world. After he led the army to conquer Egypt, he rushed into the Egyptian pyramid. Soon after the result, his military career began to come out. Now the nightmare is that first Russia is defeated, and then Waterloo is defeated, and a military myth in world history has been shattered.
Jia Xinna's face was also a little strange. She couldn't help but look at Xia Feng. Both of them were obviously strange* and thought: Is this sacred sacrificial tower strictly set in accordance with the characteristics of the ancient Egyptian pyramid? Including its unknown mysterious features?
"Some people have heard the conversation between Master Stanma of the Great Western Empire and others and know the secret of this sacrificial tower!" Sam didn't notice the strangeness of Xia Feng's faces. He just said to himself. He didn't feel excited and surprised to know the secret on his face, but seemed a little uneasy. However, Xia Feng only paid attention to the secrets themselves and did not notice the abnormal look of Sam. In this sacrificial tower, there is a sacred creation book left by ancient gods, which is guarded by the horror monster Sfinx. It must be opened with the artifacts of three nations at the same time. A few months ago, the priest of the Great Western Empire observed the omen of an unprecedented disaster, and an oracle showed that the gods had abandoned Atlandis, and the continent would sink in the sea. Only from that Genesis book may find a way to save the continent.
"I know all this," Xia Feng didn't want to be entangled in minor issues, so he directly asked himself the question he was most concerned about. "Now these three artifacts, the 'Maple Star' are in our hands. Where are the other two?"
Sam hurriedly said, "Two days ago, a great Western warrior quietly came to Poseidon with a 'black totem'. He has visited the sacred stone tower twice at night."
is Dumas! Xia Feng and Jia Xinna looked at each other and immediately guessed who the man was. This adventurous extreme king is really not disappointing.
"What about the last artifact 'Dragon Blood Elixir'?" Xia Feng asked again. Sam swallowed his saliva and did not return immediately. Instead, he looked at Xia Feng and Ji Xuanxuan, and then said hesitantly, "I just want to tell Miss Ji about the secret of the 'Dragon Blood Elixir'."
Xia Feng was stunned, "What's wrong? Sam, why can't you tell me?
Under Xia Feng's unhappy eyes, Sam's face turned a little pale, but he still shook his head resolutely, "I can only tell Miss Ji alone, otherwise I will definitely not say it."
Xia Feng still wanted to ask. Ji Xuanxuan had stopped him and smiled, "Okay, okay, don't force Sam." He turned to Sam and said, "Can I tell someone else after you tell me this secret?"
"This" Sam hesitated for a moment, "You can make your own decision."
"That's no problem," Ji Xuanxuan said and pushed Xia Feng out the door. "I'll be the first to tell you when I know it!"
Xia Feng had to leave the house, and Jia Xinna also retreated knowingly. Xia Feng looked boredly at the stars and suddenly asked Jia Xinna, "Who are you working for? Can you tell me now?"
Jia Xinna hesitated for a moment: "If you help me get the Genesis Book, I will tell you."
Xia Feng sneered: "I won't take it myself? Will you and Dumas come to beg me then?"
"Good! Before obtaining the book of creation, let's work together and compete with each other after obtaining it!"
"That's it!" The two clasped their hands and vowed.
There was no movement in the room for a long time. The two gradually became a little impatient. When they were about to look, they finally saw Ji Xuanxuan open the door and greet them, "Come in. Sam has gone."
"Are you leaving?" Xia Feng went back to the room and muttered doubtfully, "What is this little guy doing? Xuanxuan, what's the secret that 'Dragon Blood Dan' can't tell?
Ji Xuanxuan's face was a little pale and her expression was also a little trance. When Xia Feng asked, she immediately smiled and said, "I already know how to open the sacrificial tower, and asked Sam to help us contact the great Western warrior with the 'black totem'. Let's take the 'Maple Star' and meet at the stone tower tomorrow night, and then we can open the sacrificial tower to get the creation book."
"What the hell is going on?" Xia Feng noticed that Ji Xuanxuan looked abnormal and couldn't help asking with concern. Ji Xuanxuan did not answer, but looked at him strangely and said, "Don't ask. I'll tell you tomorrow night. Please don't force me now, okay?"
Ji Xuanxuan's eyes had a sad look, which was an expression that had never existed on her face, which made Xia Feng unable to bear to ask any more questions. He only nod and replied, "Well, I won't ask. I really don't know what you are doing!"
McRae outside the city finally found out the details of the martyr Lin Xiaoyu and began to launch a general attack. 50,000 remaining Dongxuan soldiers knew that they would be subject to the most cruel revenge of the Western Empire Army for their actions in Poseidon, which instead aroused their courage of trapped beasts. Relying on Poseidon's strong walls, they resisted the craziest attack of the Western Imperial Army full of revenge and fought fiercely for a day. The imperial army could not step into Poseidon.
The sky dimmed again. Xia Feng and Jia Xinna were full of doubts and expectations. They took the "Maple Star" and excitedly embarked on the journey to start the sacrificial tower.
The area around the sacrificial tower has long been desolate, and Dongxuan soldiers will make a final struggle for their fate at the head of the city. The empty sacrificial tower shines with a sad and mysterious light under the moonlight. When Xia Feng and the three arrived here, a burly figure immediately flashed in the dark. You don't need to look at the opposite side of Xia Feng to know that this is Dumas, the king of extreme racing.
The three opponents with their respective missions finally came together and silently stretched out their right hands. The palms of the three were finally clenched together, which was a common vow: the three will work together before the book of creation is published.
The two artifacts were carefully put into their respective positions in the shrine. The huge shrine began to slowly retreat into the strong stone wall of the sacrificial tower, and finally opened in like a huge arch. A wide and tall corridor appeared in the stone wall. There were no lights in the corridor, but there was a bright light that could be faintly seen. Go to the empty and bright interior of the sacrificial tower.
The three were about to step into the corridor when Ji Xuanxuan suddenly ran forward, stuffed the bright sword in her hand into Xia Feng, and then silently retreated more than ten feet away.
The three looked at each other, and with excitement, they carefully stepped on the corridor leading to the inside of the sacrificial tower and slowly entered the pyramid on the continent of Atlandis!
The huge gasp was horrible, and the impact shook the thick bouldron ground. Even if they knew it was a virtual world, the three people couldn't help but have an instinctive sense of fear. Finally, the corridor came to an end, and a huge and empty arched stone room appeared in front of the three people. There is no light source in the stone room, but there is a blurred white light, which is like a generation from the void, so that they can clearly see the huge beast in the stone room.
The giant beast has dozens of people tall and low, like a huge lion wandering uneasily in the stone chamber, hitting the strong stone wall of the stone chamber from time to time, and emitting heavy gasps and a deep roar. What is horrible is that this lion-shaped giant beast has a clear and powerful face, its nose is high, its lips are closed, and its anxious eyes are shining with wisdom.
"Sphinx!" The three exclaimed at the same time that the giant beast was the stone statue that had been lying in the Egyptian desert for thousands of years, the huge sphinx, but it was alive!
The beast also saw the three people. It did not show the fierce light when the beast saw the prey, but tilted its head and looked at them for a moment, then suddenly opened its mouth and began to speak in clear and fluent Spanish: "I don't eat living people!" It wandered back and forth impatiently, "Although I have a lion's body and it makes me bloodthirsty, I have people's thoughts and habits, so I only suck new blood, just like people want to kill animals to eat." Speaking of this, it suddenly bent down and stared at the three people with huge and intelligent eyes. "I sense that there is dragon blood outside, which is what I desire most. Give it to me quickly!"
"We want the Genesis Book!" Xia Feng finally summoned up his courage and shouted to its horrible eyes.
"None wants to take away the Genesis Book!" It slapped the ground angrily, and the dust from the dome fell down. "The meaning of my survival is to protect the book of creation. No one wants to take it away from here!"
"Then we have to kill you!" While Dumas spoke, the "Dark Blade" had roared out and cut it on one of its ankles, making a harsh crisp sound. The invincible "Dark Blade" does not cause any harm to it.
"Don't waste your effort. There is no blade in the world that can pose a threat to me!" It slapped and easily knocked Dumas to the ground. Give me dragon blood, I want dragon blood!" It roared angrily.
Xia Feng climbed up to the dome like a cat with a dagger in his mouth, and then flew down from above. This is the experience gained when killing Ba Tiger. He is sure to accurately insert the Bright Sword into the key point of Sfinx!
The sword was accurately inserted into the back of Sphinx's neck, but it slid away like a hard stone. The summer wind fell on Sphinx's back and was immediately dropped by it. Sfinx roared at the three impatiently: "Don't make meaningless attempts. Give me dragon blood!"
Dragon blood? Xia Feng's heart moved, was it the last artifact "Dragon Blood Elixir"? He motioned to two companions who had made several futile attempts, and the three had no choice but to exit the sacrificial tower.
Ji Xuanxuan, who was waiting outside, was not surprised by their failure and only looked at the sacrificial tower calmly. Xia Feng asked her dissatisfiedly, "Xuxuan, what secret did Sam tell you?" Where is the Dragon Blood Dan?
Ji Xuanxuan did not answer Xia Feng's question, but pointed to the top of the high sacrificial tower and looked at it and said, "A Feng, accompany me to there to see the stars."
