Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 217: Tombs? Ruins? Nibelungen!

"A relic from the old era?"

Qin Huai looked at the cave which was even shorter than [Bi'an], tapped his arm armor with his iron fingers, and became somewhat interested.

"Go in and take a look?"

Geshu Jing thought it was no problem and immediately went to pack up his equipment for going down the cave.

Although in the eyes of many Shenwu Tianqi, Qin Huai's strength has improved by leaps and bounds in recent days, and it should be difficult for him to encounter any danger, but Ge Shujing still kept it in mind and specially called a few brave and careful brothers to follow him.

The fiery red slurry floated in the palm of his hand, acting as a light source. Qin Huai lowered his head and moved inside. Everything in the dark cave was clearly visible in the field of vision of [Xunzhen].

The further you go in, the narrower the mine tunnel becomes. From time to time, there are small pits with turbid water on the wet mud ground.

"stop!"

Qin Huai suddenly spoke out, and at the same time as his intuition warned him of danger, a few lines of small words appeared on an inconspicuous flat cylinder lying in a pit on the ground.

A startling glance.

[Alchemical Technology: Blood Thorn Mine]: Contains refined liquid red mercury, powerful enough to destroy Seraph Armor.

Note: Pressure-activated mine, explodes upon contact.

The iron fingers cut through the mud and water, cracking the soil and rocks, and picked up the [Blood Thorn] from under the mine.

"The Western barbarians have such sinister intentions. Brother, you are unable to move, so let me go ahead."

After Ge Shujing saw clearly what Qin Huai was holding, he volunteered to pick up the mineral lamp and rushed forward.

Qin Huai held his shoulders and shook his head: "This place is full of dangers. There may be hidden tricks set by Xiyi. Let me do it."

Ge Shujing tried hard to move forward but failed, so he had to retreat: "Brother, be careful."

The seven people went down the mine tunnel, and Qin Huai picked out several mines of different shapes in front of them.

Loose hair, pressed hair, trip wire.
Qin Huai even found a time-triggered poison gas mine on top of the metal frame in the second half.

"It's really a toad lying on the back of my foot. It's not scary, but it's disgusting."

Qin Huai glanced at the various minefields lined up in his personal space, and felt a little cold in his heart.

The view gradually widened, and the seven people walked into the spacious flat space. Looking at the boundless bronze gate that seemed to have grown out of the rock formations, they felt a little emotional for a moment.

Even though the Sky Riders had witnessed the shocking sight of the Dark City in the Divine Capital, they still did not understand why such a huge gate appeared dozens of meters underground.

"I'm afraid the mausoleum of the Zhou emperor is made of this material, right?"

Ge Shujing touched the intricate patterns on the door and scraped off a layer of green rust with his iron fingers. His analysis was quite professional.

The light shone on the huge gate, and the reflected waveband was almost invisible. It looked like the light and heat were silently absorbed by the bronze pattern, as if they were swallowed by a black hole. Qin Huai took a quick glance at it, but there was no reaction at all.

"Here comes with bad intentions"

Suddenly, blood-red bytes began to jump wildly in front of Qin Huai's eyes.

[You have opened the special Yamafu event: Land of the Dead! ]

In some of the top-secret books of the Messiah that record the old era, there was a mysterious space called the "Land of the Dead" (also known as the "Land of the Fog"). Ancient believers said that this was a fictitious space created by alchemy, with the internal space folded and time stopped, but this space is real and was modified based on the real space. As long as you cross the interface, you can enter this space, but crossing the interface is almost impossible. Unless... you are blessed by God.

The event requirements are as follows: 1. Explore the Land of the Dead

2. Find the Iron Coffin among the Three Coffins of Gold, Silver and Iron

The specific settlement reward will be determined by the final exploration progress.

Note: Alchemy? Technology? Perhaps alchemy is just unknown technology, and technology is alchemy with proven principles. Tianrui, which supports this world, can't actually decide anything. All it does is silently influence
At the same time, the [external electronic brain] clamped on Qin Huai's earlobe flashed quickly and lit up a red light that had never appeared before.

Qin Huai looked up and saw an uneven door wall in front of him, gaps covered with copper embroidery, and two metal animal heads hanging high.

"God bless you, Tianrui mixed-blood?"

Qin Huai analyzed the little information he had, then turned to ask Ge Shujing, "Ah Jing, do those Western barbarians have any idea how to get in?"

Ge Shujing thought about it and was a little uncertain: "They only know that it is related to the leading [Red Dragon]. I don't think these pawns are qualified to know the specific methods."

"Then we can only use the stupid method. Come on, let's try to see if we can push it open."

Qin Huai thought for a moment, looked at the bronze wall without even a door knocker, and decided to try the exhaustive method first.

There were six flying cavalry guards, two on the left and four on the right. Qin Huai was leading the left, gathering strength in his waist and hips, counting down in a deep voice.

"Three, two, one, go!"

The metal expanded and contracted, and the steam surged.

Despite the huge combined force that could have pushed dozens of tons of weight, the huge bronze door did not move at all, with only a dozen handprints leaving slight dents on the metal surface.

"No, I can't push it."

Qin Huai looked at Ju Men who showed no response and withdrew his force.

"Look around to see if there's any hidden compartment."

"Here!"

After carefully examining every inch of the giant bronze gate, everyone found nothing and focused their attention on the only two remaining metal animal heads.

"I'll go up and have a look."

Nine cloud tails supported the ground and sent [Bi'an] to the beast head. Qin Huai's eyes flashed with green light, and he found a trace of dark red remnants in the beast's mouth which was similar to the other.

"Blood?"

Qin Huai spread out the mask, pinched a little, and brought it to his nose to smell it.

"[Red Dragon] Did they use blood to get in?"

He felt that his guess was almost right, so he immediately forced a drop of blood out from under his jaw and let it float towards the ferocious beast's mouth on the left.

But the bright red blood bead hung quietly in the metal beast's mouth, neither disappearing nor falling. The huge bronze door remained the same as before, with no response at all.

"This shouldn't be the case. Is this the wrong location? Or is it the wrong person?"

Qin Huai's mind moved, and he changed the position of the blood bead and moved it to the right side of the beast's mouth.

The metal beast head trembled, and just when everyone was shocked, it spat out the blood that Qin Huai handed over.

Spit it out
"Well, it seems that the person is wrong."

Qin Huai was not discouraged and walked out.

"Brother, how about we give it a try?"

"Okay, but if the door is open, don't move. Wait until I come back."

[Bi'an] waved his hand, and his figure disappeared at the end of the mine tunnel in an instant.

"Old Four, Guozi, carry me up there."

Ge Shujing, who was rubbing his hands and eager to try, drew a line of blood on the side of his face with his iron finger, and imitated Qin Huai to drip the blood into the beast's mouth.

"Damn it, no, you take over, Old Four." "Xiao Gui, come here!"

Qin Huai walked out of the mine and waved to Xiao Gui who was setting up the night patrol defense line.

"Did the general find anything underground?"

Bukong Sanzang had been waiting at the exit of the mine. When he saw Qin Huai coming out, he took the initiative to step forward and ask.

“Yes, if Master Bukong is interested, you can follow me to find out what’s going on.

Qin Huai smiled and extended an invitation to Bukong Sanzang.

The Kaiyuan Bodhisattva of Ci'en Temple in front of him is no simple person, and he knows nothing about the situation behind Ju Men. Maybe he can be of great help if he is brought along at this time.

"Then I'm sorry to bother you, General."

Bukong Sanzang bowed slightly, leaving space for Xiao Gui who came here in response to orders.

"General, do you have any instructions?"

The [Black Dragon] on Xiao Gui's body was also repaired through the [Hercules Frame] in the tent, and it was now in its full glory.

"Come with me down there. There's a door inside that you have to open."

Qin Huai patted Xiao Gui and motioned for the two to follow him into the cave.

By comparing the status bar of [Red Dragon] Xizel and analyzing the blood failure just now, Qin Huai guessed that the so-called [Tianrui] state might be different from [Qualified Person], and that he, a walking in the world of Yama, might lack something compared to the native inhabitant of this fruit.

The three of them returned to Ju Men. Ge Shu Jing and his six companions had already tried it once, and the result was naturally not unexpected.

"Take your blood, don't move."

The wind blade passed by and brought up a drop of blood. Qin Huai stood in front of the beast's head again. Without much hesitation, he split the blood drop into two and stuffed them into the beast's mouth.

Rumble~
The sound of gear transmission came from deep within the bronze door. The complex mechanical mechanism began to operate, and the huge bronze door burst open, revealing a dark corridor.

A scorching gale blew in his face, and a faint smell of sulfur instantly filled the entire space. Just as Ge Shujing was about to step forward, he was blocked by a scarlet arm.

"A Jing, this place is weird. We still need you to take charge of the situation outside. Let Master Bukong and I take Xiao Gui down first this time."

"Big brother!"

"The underground palace is dangerous, and quality is more important than quantity. General Geshu, as the deputy general of Shenwu, has no reason to go through danger with General Qin."

Bukong Sanzang chanted the Buddha's name softly, and also reminded Geshu Jing that the situation outside could change at any time.

"Then please take good care of my brother, Master. Thank you very much, Geshu!"

After Geshu Jing bowed deeply to Bukong Sanzang, he walked out with the five celestial riders.

"Without further delay, let's go."

Qin Huai took the lead and stepped into the bronze gate. Almost at the moment when [Bi'an] entered the groove, he suddenly shuddered all over.

The hot wind that was enough to crack the earth seemed to be mixed with a deep chill. Qin Huai's neck was covered with goose bumps. Just as he was about to take a step back, he was held back by an inexplicable force and could not retreat even a bit!

"Don't come in!"

Roarious shouts and footsteps sounded at the same time, and Bukong Sanzang and Xiao Gui appeared beside Qin Huai.

Shit, it’s still a step too late.

Qin Huai looked at the huge bronze door that closed again at lightning speed without leaving any gap, and his face looked a little ugly.
-
At the same time, in the Arctic Ocean, under the blue sky with strange clouds flowing, the mysterious aurora illuminates a lonely stone island in the vast blue ocean.

Giant trees, atmospheric ionization, and colorful lights.
Many wonders of heaven and earth bloom here, and where the mysterious aurora shines, an incredibly large iron coffin is slowly emerging from a cemetery of bones filled with death.

bang~
The coffin lid was smashed open, and a black cloak floated out. The mechanical iron coffin twisted and assembled with a click, turning into an exaggeratedly large sickle.

hiss~
The skeletons in the cemetery had somehow formed into a pitch-black bone horse that emitted phantom flames. The skeleton armor plates under the black cloak rippled like water, and steam burst out from the gaps, enveloping the body in a misty shadow.

Scarlet blood shot out from the skeleton-like eye sockets. Death raised his scythe, rode on his bone horse, and crashed straight into the dark vortex that appeared before his eyes.

A hunt has begun——
Inside the huge bronze gate, Qin Huai looked around. In front of him was a corridor that stretched as far as the eye could see. Besides the sound of strong wind blowing, he also heard a faint sound, which sounded very much like the explosion when bubbles burst.

"Let's go. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, we have to go through them."

Qin Huai considered it again and again and decided not to waste time here.

The Manqiu water ball acted as a light source. The flickering and undulating flames extended to the distant corridor. The red color eroded the darkness. After walking for an unknown amount of time, the three of them encountered a rather abrupt corner.

"Huh? This is it?"

After turning the corner, Qin Huai came across a bronze artifact with a very strange shape.

The inside is round, but surrounded by a circle of sharp structures like wolf teeth. At the first glance, he was reminded of King Jinlun's Five Wheels Great Rotation.

"A guillotine, a flywheel, or a gear?"

Qin Huai pondered in his mind while checking the black ripples on the bronze vessel.
[Alchemical Technology: Sibios Gear]: One of the thousands of parts that make up the [Land of the Dead].

Note: Gear ratios are to machines as joints are to the human body.

“Amazing craftsmanship.”

Bukong Sanzang observed carefully for a while and said in a low voice.

"It looks like a mechanism set up by the tomb owner."

Xiao Gui looked at the bronze artifact half exposed on the ground and nodded.

"It's not a weapon, it's a gear. It's the cornerstone of this relic."

Qin Huai stepped through the gap next to the gear. There was a second metal gear in front of him, and then the third and fourth.
Continuous [Sibios Gears] cover an entire corridor that is dozens of meters long. The bronze teeth mesh with each other through the transmission shaft under the floor. The entire corridor is like a blood vessel made purely of machinery.

"It's incredible, it's almost like the chain of a tourbillon dial."

The temperature was getting hotter and hotter, and the long and narrow corridor was like an oven. Xiao Gui opened his visor, wiped the sweat off his face, and looked back.

"This place may really be a relic from the old era."

Qin Huai walked out of the corridor and stood beside the metal cliff. In front of him was an extremely vast mountain cavity.

Densely packed black holes appeared on the surface of the mountain. They were bronze corridors one after another. It seemed that all the corridors would eventually reach this vast mountain cavity.

At the bottom of the mountain cavity is a boiling hot magma sea and a freezing cold glacier sea. The cold and hot are just like the yin and yang of a shabby chimney that divides the entire cavity into two halves. About half of the corridor is located below the sea surface, like an ant nest half submerged in water.

Qin Huai raised his head, then looked upwards in the light of the lava, looking up at the cavity. The space was so huge that it seemed like a giant's palace. The dome was engraved with ancient patterns. They were the scattered branches of a giant tree, and the leaves and branches were bent into unreadable characters.

"It is truly an unspeakable creation, General Qin. I think we have now penetrated deep into the Damavand Mountains."

A streak of golden light flashed across Bukong Sanzang's eyes, and he immediately calculated the current location.

Qin Huai looked at the huge palace located in the center of the lava glacier and stretched out his iron hand to point in the distance.

"Get ready, I'll take you there."
