The sparrow-headed dragon eel is determined to retaliate and is loyal to its other half. When the ice boat sailed halfway into the lake, it was injured. Knowing that it was defeated, the male eel brought his offspring to take revenge.
The bloody battle inevitably broke out.
This time, it did not run away, and was beaten until it was stabbed under the fin by Yang Yingchun's sword. The blood dyed the lake red. In the end, it no longer had any chance of living, both of them died, and his descendants also suffered heavy losses.
Although Luo Xing did not directly participate in the battle.
But his Heart-Protect Dragon Scale Ring once again absorbed the blood of the male sparrow-headed dragon eel, and its mustard seed space evolved again.
As soon as the male sparrow-headed dragon eel died, its descendants naturally scattered in all directions. Luo Xing and others were also exhausted, and it was impossible to kill them all.
Everyone adjusted their breath and recovered on the ice boat. Although it seems that there is only one group of sparrow-headed dragon eels in the water at present, who knows if there will be other species?
Although the eel can eat grass, it also eats meat. How can they survive without a food source?
There is no way for a single species to survive. Without the existence of natural enemies, the species will overrun and eventually perish completely.
There must be an ecological balance.
Otherwise, this water would have long been a pool of stagnant water.
There should be aquatic plants and various shellfish living under the water, and even other fish. However, the gargoyle eel is at the top of the food chain.
Naturally, Luo Xing would not let go of the carcass of a male eel. Anyway, he could hold it and take it away. This time, the harvest was not small.
If you take the two bird-headed dragon eels out and sell them, you can make a profit of at least one million taels of silver.
Not to mention, many of their descendants were killed in this battle. All that could be collected were quickly frozen and thrown into the space of the Heart-Protect Dragon Scale Ring.
This is a must-have item for killing people and selling goods.
The ice boat finally arrived at the dam that Hu Sanniang had mentioned.
It is indeed quite majestic. In a world without large-scale engineering machinery, one has to admire human wisdom to build such a majestic dam, especially underground.
However, ordinary people here may not be able to come. The dams should be built by warriors with advanced cultivation. Their strength and efficiency are many times higher than ordinary people. They are even humanoid engineering machines. They may be more flexible and efficient than clumsy machinery.
The water drives the impeller in the dam, and transmits the power through the rotating pump and gears...
There must be a maintenance hatch on the dam, it's not hard to find.
The water flowing to the dam is narrowed. The tens of meters of dam are connected to the solid mountain on both sides, and even penetrate deep into the mountain.
No cement was used, and huge boulders were directly mined. Each piece weighed more than 100,000 jun, and a special adhesive was used to ensure that the dam body would not leak.
This project was carried out a thousand years ago. Now, after such a long time, the quality of the project is so good and it is still running as before. I really don’t know how it is possible.
Such a project requires regular maintenance. If the maintenance is not good, problems will occur if something breaks down.
Therefore, Luo Xingcai felt that it was amazing that a project built thousands of years ago could still be running well without people. It was simply a miracle.
There are equipment access hatches on both sides.
But it was sealed from the outside. This is strange. Why did the people who built the dam do this? Doesn't the dam need maintenance after it is built?
And Luo Xing has asked Ji Yu'er to enter the dam body to explore it. It is running well inside and is not in an absolute vacuum state...
Could it be that there are dedicated people inside to maintain it?
No, how could there be people living here? If so, how could they have lived underground for thousands of years without being discovered, without even thinking about taking a look at the outside world?
They didn't understand until they destroyed the inspection door outside and sealed it off, and saw the puppet who was inspecting the agency's message.
It turns out that the people living here are not people, but puppets, which are equivalent to robots. These organs and gear transmission equipment are maintained by puppets.
But puppets do not have intelligence. How do they determine where there is a problem, how to repair it, and how to replace it?
Ji Yuer quickly gave him the answer to this question. There is also a "spirit" here. It should be this spirit that controls these puppets.
Moreover, this spirit body is not left behind after the death of human beings, but the spirit of the weapon, which is the result of spiritual cultivation after the birth of the weapon.
To a certain extent, humans and spirits are two different species, so when communicating, there will inevitably be less trust.
Moreover, you can't see the other person with your naked eyes. Even if you practice spirituality, you can only rely on induction. Unless you can break through into the spiritual realm and be able to leave the body (Luo Xing's own understanding), you can see the other person.
A demon girl like Ji Yu'er, even without her body, can still bewitch people with her charm and sharp tongue, let alone a simple little weapon spirit who has not had any contact with people for a thousand years?
"Qi Lang, her name is Xiao Yun. She is a piece of meteorite crystal. She was trained by Taoist Chi to become the mastermind of the tomb, and she gave birth to spiritual consciousness on her own."
"What, the master brain, could it be the intelligent brain of the civilization outside the world?" Luo Xing was shocked when he heard this, but he thought it was reasonable. After all, he can travel his soul to this other world, so why is the civilization outside the world? Isn’t there a certain chance of coming?
What's more, this happened a thousand years ago, so it's completely possible from a probability perspective.
"Shichiro, what is Zhinao?"
"I can't explain this to you for a while. Please ask again, is there any information on the whereabouts of Qingyi and Princess Liuli?" Luo Xing asked.
"I'll give it a try. I'm afraid it will arouse Xiaoyun's suspicion. Then it will be bad. This is her control area. Once we start to take action, we may not be opponents. Just rely on the puppets she has. It’s enough for us to eat a pot,” Ji Yuer said.
Luo Xing naturally understood the risks involved. If it weren't for Ji Yuer, they would never have entered here so smoothly.
This is really a drink and a peck, it’s all God’s will.
"Everyone, follow my footsteps and make sure you don't make a mistake. There are many mechanisms here. If you make a wrong step, your life will be hanging by a thread." Luo Xing reminded the people behind him.
After about a while, Ji Yuer's voice rang in Luo Xing's mind: "Xiaoyun said that she had indeed seen Qingyi and the others. They are now in the tomb, trapped in the Phantom Platform."
"Phantom Spirit Platform, where is that place?"
"Xiao Yun said that the Phantom Platform is a test for those who enter the tomb. Its effect is to maximize people's fears and desires. Those who pass will be rewarded, while those who fail will either have their minds destroyed or lose their hearts. Crazy, you will be a useless person from now on, and becoming a useless person here will only lead to death!"
"What a vicious phantom platform."
"Taoist Chi is an extreme person. He believes in the principle that the strong decides everything. If the person who enters his tomb does not get his reward for breaking through, he will have to be buried with him. He should use this method to choose Give birth to an heir." Ji Yuer said.
"In other words, only one person will survive in the end, and the others will be buried with him?" Luo Xing frowned after hearing this.
"That's how it should be."
"Then shouldn't we do the same?" Luo Xing asked.
"We shouldn't need it. You forgot, we have a way out. The way we came is the passage for the winner to come out!" Ji Yu'er explained.
Luo Xing basically agreed with Ji Yuer's judgment. Although the road they came in was dangerous, it was not impossible to survive. If it was the way out for those who were tested inside, it was very possible that the crack actually allowed them to steal Chi. There is a way back from the Taoist Tomb.
But something feels wrong.
Why did Taoist Chi bury his daughter separately in the Tomb of Suspicion? Moreover, it was recorded in the volume in the coffin that the only way to resurrect her daughter was through blood exchange and spirit transfer.
"Yu'er, Xiaoyun should know about our existence. She, a wise spirit who has survived for thousands of years, can be so simple. Maybe she is using us?"
"Use us, use us for what?"
"I don't know, but if she is the mastermind of the tomb, she must be aware of our actions. Think about it, why did those two eels attack us just now?" Luo Xing is an experienced agent, and he is very sensitive to any abnormalities. Everyone will be vigilant, because any abnormality will not be a coincidence, it is likely to be human manipulation.
Xiaoyun can control the puppet to maintain the information equipment in the dam for thousands of years. It is impossible for the two bird-headed eels living in the dam not to know about it. It is even very possible that these two bird-headed eels also listen to her. Act on command.
In this case, there is something wrong with the tomb master's brain tool spirit named Xiaoyun.
"You mean, she's lying to me?"
"Can you describe the image of Xiao Yun you saw, such as her voice or movements when you communicated?"
"Childlike voice, like a seven or eight-year-old little girl, very cute."
"You have overflowing maternal instincts, so you subconsciously let down your guard against such a little girl, right? And she answers whatever you ask, so you have established trust in her?" Luo Xing teased.
Ji Yuer is also a smart person. After being impressed by Luo, she instantly understood the key: "Then what should we do now, just fall out?"
"Tell her that the people trapped on the Phantom Platform are your friends. You need to rescue them and ask her to guide us there." Luo Xing said.
"Isn't that just throwing yourself into a trap?"
"She just threw herself into a trap. If we didn't throw ourselves into a trap, how could she reveal her true face?" Luo Xing asked.
"Are you planning to put yourself in danger?"
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. Qingyi is my wife and I must save her. Your Highness Liuli is my backer and I must save her." Luo Xing explained, "So, we have to find them first, and rely on We are searching in the tomb, but we are afraid that it will take time and effort. Since someone is willing to lead us there, why not take advantage of it?"
"Okay, I'll give it a try." Ji Yu'er also knew that at this moment, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Luo Xing's judgment should be right.
