Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 218 Danger Surrounded
Just as Qin Huai summoned Yun Yi and prepared to carry the two of them into the air, a dangerous red light suddenly appeared in his sight.

"Huh? Wait."

Qin Huai put the two people down, glanced to the left, and looked along the curved surface of the mountain at a statue on the bronze wall not far away.

The statue is about two meters tall. It is wearing a nomadic leather robe and holding a Hun's bow and arrow. It stands on a protruding bronze lamppost, with its head slightly lowered, looking towards the central palace, looking disdainfully like a warrior, but its head looks like a lizard, with a slender, ridged neck sticking out from the collar of its leather coat, which is extremely abrupt.

Snake-faced man? Lizard man?
"Tashi, what is that?"

Xiao Gui turned around and asked Bukong Sanzang.

"I dare not speak rashly, but it is recorded in the Tianruisi books that the Parthian culture worships lions and eagles. This snake-lizard man is more like some kind of monster."

Bukong Sanzang remained expressionless and patiently explained to Xiao Gui.

As the two were speculating and discussing, Qin Huai suddenly discovered that the statue had turned. The eyes of the lizard man were made of pure silver, and on the dark bronze surface they flashed a lonely silver light, as if they were blinking.

Qin Huai, who has the [Eyes of Tianwu], has extraordinary eyesight and is confident that he will not make a mistake and mistake it for some reflection.

Seeing that the red light on the lizardman statue was getting stronger and stronger, Qin Huai took out two revolvers without hesitation and started shooting.

Bang bang bang!
Thunder exploded, gunfire flowed, and a shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, and the arm-length short sword pierced the eyes of [Bi'an], so fast that it was hard to describe. Qin Huai had been fighting for a long time and had rich experience. He also had an intuitive sense of danger and warned that he immediately drew his gun and clenched his fist, and smashed at the black shadow without hesitation.

"retreat!"

Qin Huai's reminder and the heavy punch arrived at the same time, but the shadow's speed was not slow at all. The armlet blocked the heavy punch, and the dagger left deep scars on the armor of [Bi'an].

Qin Huai subconsciously raised his knee and kicked sideways, trying to blast the shadow into the lava at the bottom, but a big hand wrapped in a gray monk robe was faster.

The bulging monk's robe was filled with high-speed air currents, which hit the shadow with just one blow, sending it flying.

Ok?
Does the great monk have this ability?

Qin Huai was a little surprised, but he didn't have time to think about it. He retreated back into the cave.

Huhuhu~
The whistling sound of flapping wings came from below, the eyes of the lizard man sculpture inlaid with mithril flashed, and the bronze chest was deeply dented.

Qin Huai took a quick step forward, and with a flash of his gun blade he smashed the lizard man's head into pieces.

"Come on!"

Xiao Gui and Bukong Sanzang didn't waste any words. They jumped suddenly, hugged Bi'an's legs and swung towards the central palace.

Before Qin Huai reached halfway, creepy sounds came from all around, as if someone was holding two pieces of rusty iron and hitting the glass in his ears.

At this moment, in the huge cavity, these sounds were amplified hundreds and thousands of times, and the waves of resonance caused them hit the eardrums of the three people all the time.

"Hold on!"

Feeling Qin Huai's body swaying, Bukong Sanzang chanted in a deep voice. The Buddhist sound sounded like singing and roaring. The majestic sound directly penetrated the depths of Qin Huai and Xiao Gui's minds.

The old monk suddenly opened his eyes, and Buddhist chants resounded in the cavity. The air flow at an extremely high speed began to rotate around the three people. A whitish wind group quickly expanded outward with him as the center. In the spherical space with a diameter of several meters, the high-speed rotating vortex dispersed the sound energy of the resonant wave in all directions.

The strong wind sheared Qin Huai's pressure, giving the three people time to pay attention to the bronze walls around them. The densely packed corridors slowly closed, and tens of thousands of [Sibios gears] emerged from the wall and began to rotate. A huge horn sound echoed inside the cavity, and the rust on the gears began to peel off, and the bronze teeth bit together and made a clattering sound.

Xiao Gui looked towards the dome, and a horn of an unprecedented shape was blown. The air currents of hot and cold air intertwined with each other rushed into the bronze pipe, blowing out the horn sounds with different rhythms. The snake lizardmen on the bronze wall moved at the same time, pulling the longbows in their hands, their mithril vertical pupils glowing with cold light, and they looked down at Qin Huai and the other two, as if it was a grand hunt.

"Fuck, this place is too evil!"

Xiao Gui swore rarely, drew out his halberd from behind with his right hand, and hugged Qin Huai tightly with his left hand.

"General, hurry!"

Countless arrows rained down, and the vortex wind around the three people was quickly compressed. Bukong Sanzang's face turned pale, and it was obvious that he was in a bad condition.

A blue-green torrent suddenly erupted from behind Qin Huai, swooping down and accelerating, rolling to the square in front of the bronze palace.

Qin Huai took out a fine steel javelin from his personal space, threw it with force, and the tip of the spear pierced through the bronze and stabbed into the gap between the two gears.

The combined power of [Penglaixian] and [Bi'an] was astonishing. The javelin sank two inches into the bronze wall. The two gears were locked on the thousand-forged steel and could not turn. The airflow blowing into the war horn suddenly became intermittent, and it lost power.

"Come on!"

Looking at the fine steel javelin being cut by the blade teeth, Qin Huai shouted loudly and rushed towards the square first.

The javelins fell, the gears continued to turn, and the horns began to sound the ups and downs of the sonata again.
-
The wave-like cavity resonance shattered the ice. Xizel struggled to climb out of the ice sea. Several bronze arrows shot at the [Red Dragon Transformation], leaving white spots before falling down powerlessly.

Although the multiple armors gave the Red Dragon Modification an unparalleled defensive power, they also increased its weight. For Xizel, who was currently trapped in the icy sea, this was undoubtedly fatal.

"catch!"

Jose stretched out his dragon tooth sword, and after seeing that the [Red Dragon Modified] had a firm grip on it, he and the [Faceless Man] worked together to pull César onto a large piece of ice.

It was unlucky. Although they entered a few days earlier than Qin Huai and the other two, they accidentally touched some mechanisms and took a lot of detours.

The ruins of the old era seemed to come alive. The whole bronze corridor was constantly rotating and docking. The [Red Dragon] team was like an ant crawling into the revolver's magazine, being sent to the muzzle by the new magazine, and then crawling out of the barrel and being sent out by the new magazine.
The path forward was changing every moment. If Qin Huai had not opened the door and come in, there was a high probability that they would have been trapped and died in these ruins.

"We're almost there, we have to hurry."

Jose looked at the towering wall behind him that was slowly tilting inwards. Steam gushed out of the [Silver Holy Sword] below his waist, and he leaped with the steel cable to the floating ice several meters ahead.

Verola, wearing a black latex suit, withdrew her gaze from the bronze wall that was tilted like the sky. Her exoskeleton bit the steel cable, the gears engaged and turned, and she slid to Jose's side in a few breaths.

The bronze wall smashed into the glacial sea, causing a huge wave. The ice storm hit the giant red copper shield behind the [Red Dragon Modification] without reservation, and the impact shook Xizel's internal organs. Blood flowed from the corners of the boy's mouth, but he still gritted his teeth and kicked his legs, jumping into the freezing cold sea water in front of the ice floe.

[Red Dragon Modification] The armor is heavy. Even though the Seraph is powerful, it still has to abide by the basic laws of physics.

Just as [Silver Holy Sword] and [Faceless Man] were about to use the steel cable to pull César up again, a huge force from underwater bit the [Red Dragon Modified] leg armor, and thick steam emerged from under the ice like a rising white smoke.

"wrong!"

Jose roared, and the huge sword cut towards Xizel's calf like a dragon entering the water.

"Stand still!"

Veron followed closely behind, and the Faceless Man grabbed the legs of the Silver Holy Sword. The exoskeletons of Haytham and Verona stretched out spikes, piercing through the thick ice and taking root to stabilize their bodies.

Just by looking at the huge whirlpool on the water surface, Wei Ruolan knew that the thing underneath was incredibly huge.

The mineral lamp illuminated the surging water surface of the ice debris clearly. Jose leaned under the water, his feet held by Veron. His whole body was like a spring that was compressed and suddenly popped out. The tip of the dragon-tooth sword broke through the water, and the clear sword light flashed through the black shadow, bringing about a series of sharp sounds of metal clashing.

A large number of bubbles surged in the center of the vortex, and an incredibly huge black shadow suddenly flashed. The serrated sword tip in Jose's hand stuck to the black shadow and moved upwards with the [Red Dragon Transformation].

The black shadow broke through the water surface with unparalleled power and rose into the sky. The mining lamp shone upward, and in the light the black shadow was as agile as a mad dragon.

"Fish? Mechanical fish?!"

Wei Ruolan whipped out a large-caliber rapid-fire rifle and shot at the black shadow with the help of the exoskeleton.

In an instant, the thing rose several feet high and dropped the three Seraphim onto the ice. Verola's bullets hit its body, splashing sparks.

The thing rushed down swiftly using its potential energy, like lightning tearing through the sky. In the light, its dragon-like body stretched out, twisting like a long whip, and lashed fiercely at the poorly defended Wei Ruolan.

[Silver Holy Sword] bounced up quickly, and Jose displayed amazing armor combat skills at this time. The sword light like a chain flashed across, and the dragon tooth giant sword was across the path of the black shadow, slashing directly at the hideous and terrifying bloody mouth.

Metal fragments flew everywhere. As the [Silver Holy Sword] chopped the semi-mechanical sturgeon back to the surface of the water, the [Faceless Man] took out several red mercury bombs from the iron box and quickly threw them into the whirlpool.

Bang bang bang!
A deafening explosion sounded from underwater, and the sound made the entire ice floe tremble. At the moment when several red mercury bombs exploded at the same time, a bright red column of blazing fire shot up into the sky, like Michael's sword thrown down from the clouds by God.

A moment later, flames exploded, and flying fragments and violent explosions tore at the body of the cyborg sturgeon. It seemed to have a remarkable effect, but everyone looked at the black shadow swimming under the water, and their expressions suddenly became extremely solemn.

The dark back, as rugged as a reef, floated to the surface of the water. The long tail of the semi-mechanical sturgeon swung at high speed without causing any splashes. Its huge mouth was half-submerged in the water, and a ferocious long snout was exposed above the water. Its two golden eyes were as bright as lamps.

“It’s really a fish.”

Vera murmured.

"And it is the king of fish, the European sturgeon."

As Haytham spoke to add, he quickly pulled out several bullet chains from the iron box. The bullets were glowing cold blue and had intricate holy patterns engraved on them.

The ammunition belt was loaded into the heavy-duty rapid-fire rifle in his hand. Helson immediately aimed the cold muzzle at the cyborg sturgeon and pulled the trigger hard.

"go!"

Brass bullet casings continued to pour onto the ground. Under the suppression of the metal storm, the remaining four people quickly rushed to the nearby Frost Square with steel cables.

Dang~
Ice fragments exploded, gunfire roared, and as the last shell fell to the ground, the revolving gun in Haytham's hand stopped turning.

"Haltsen, come here quickly."

"God will never abandon his believers!"

Just as Haytham was about to slide down the steel cable to the square, a black shadow approached rapidly with its deadly long snout like a dragon emerging from water. Its four iron-gray scimitar-like sharp teeth were half a meter long and as dense as thorns!
[Silver Holy Sword] and [Faceless Man] overloaded their cores almost simultaneously. Two sword lights flew across and chopped through the diffuse steam, hitting the long snout and barely forcing back the dozens-meter-long semi-mechanical sturgeon.

The semi-mechanical sturgeon dived back into the water, and a hint of mockery appeared in its bright golden pupils as it looked at the crowd. Just when the two sides were on the verge of a fight, the semi-mechanical sturgeon suddenly shook its head and completely disappeared.

"Are you okay?"

"With the angel's blessing, it won't be a big problem."

Hearing Veron's concern, Haytham took off his helmet, took a breath, and moved towards the square.

"When do we go in now?"

"The sooner the better. We are running low on supplies, and the sudden change just now gave me a bad feeling."

Jose coughed twice. The three Seraphim were helping each other check energy reserves and replace tanks of red mercury.

About half an hour later, the rested [Red Dragon] team set out again and walked into the palace gate covered with frost.
-
The outer layer of the palace, the bronze square.

Broken metal fragments and spare parts and gears were scattered all over the ground. Qin Huai grabbed Tianrui's almost exhausted [Black Dragon] and handed over a few cans of Tianrui.

"You're not hurt, are you?"

"No, the armor is strong and can protect me, but my blood is inevitably surging."

Xiao Gui stood up with the help of his halberd, his voice unable to hide his fatigue.

Looking at the hundreds of snake-lizardman statues that had been disassembled into parts in the square, Qin Huai's eyes were filled with dark ripples.

[Alchemical Technology: Kunak Lizard Statue]: An alchemical machine with simple instructions that can be controlled by sound waves.

[Alchemy Technology: Perseus Coating]: Coated on the edge of a cold weapon, it can have [tearing] and [destruction] effects on metal.

"This should be the thing used in the old era to restrain the Seraphs, right?"

Qin Huai looked at the daggers covered with a matte coating, picked up a few from the mess and put them away carefully.

"General, this place is dangerous. We should not stay here for long. How about we take shelter first?"

Xiao Gui pointed at the Kunak Lizard Statues in the sky that were glaring at him, and then pointed at the intricately patterned metal corridor inside the square.

Qin Huai nodded and looked at Bukong Sanzang who was resting nearby.

Bukong Sanzang had just blocked nearly half of the [Kunak Lizard Statue] by himself, which consumed a lot of energy. However, seeing that Qin Huai was going to continue moving forward, he did not say much, but stood up and followed the two of them.

The three of them walked through the metal corridor in a cone shape.

After their cold footsteps disappeared, the sound of machinery running and metal friction could be heard in the silent corridor.

Humph~
The sound of horse hooves colliding with bronze echoed, and Death, riding a bone horse and holding a giant scythe, emerged from the dark vortex, and the blood light in the shadow of his hood suddenly increased by three points.

As we all know, this is an archaeological operation.
