Chapter 155: The Secret Realm of the First Emperor
The moment the three of them passed through the starry sky gate, Bai Qi felt that he was being locked by dozens of gazes, and could vaguely sense a hint of murderous intent.
Soldiers, and soldiers who fight in the wild all year round!
Bai Qi made a quick judgment, but after noticing Yi Yu, those gazes quickly retracted, as if nothing had ever happened.
"We're here."
Yi Yu pointed to the ground ahead with deep pits dug out, and said, "This is the location that Bureau Thirteen is responsible for. The area that the Association is responsible for is in the north. Master Luo, do you need to go to the north first ?"
Luo Xiang shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, no matter which side is cracked, we can develop it together. Let's go to the nearest one."
Yi Yu said: "Okay, I will arrange for someone to take Master Luo into the secret realm."
After saying that, Yi Yu turned and left, and Bai Qi finally had time to look around.
On the vast ground, huge square pits with a side length of about ten meters were dug out by humans, and around the pits were placed large machines. Judging from the patterns flashing on the screen, it seemed that runes were being deciphered.
Bai Qi moved closer to a deep pit and saw a large bronze door at the bottom of the pit. The bronze door was covered with ancient runes, which were somewhat similar to those in the rune dictionary, but seemed more complicated.
It is closer to the one on the Rune Cube.
"Do you think these runes are somewhat different from those of Professor Dong?"
Luo Xiang saw Bai Qi's confusion and explained, "The earliest runes can be traced back to the time of the First Emperor. All runes that humans came into contact with were spread during that time. However, they became popular during the time of the Law Emperor. Most of the runes studied in the Rune Department now are from the time of the Law Emperor, so there are still many differences."
Bai Qi nodded. To put it simply, the First Emperor's runes are equivalent to oracle bone inscriptions, and the Law Emperor's runes are equivalent to bronze inscriptions or seal scripts. This is easy to understand.
"But why are there so many pits dug here?"
As Bai Qi was speaking, he thought of something and then looked at the densely packed holes in front of him, feeling somewhat unbelievable.
"Don't tell me these are the entrances to the Secret Tower?!"
Luo Xiang nodded and said, "Yes and no."
"The First Emperor's Secret Realm is not quite the same as other secret realm towers. Rather than calling it a tower, it would be more appropriate to call it a mausoleum."
"tomb?"
Bai Qi was a little surprised when he heard this. There were many types of secret towers, but this was the first time he heard of one being converted into a mausoleum.
Luo Xiang couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, and said, "It's said to be a mausoleum, so it must not have been built by himself. This place must have been built by the followers of the First Emperor."
"Among these gates, some can lead to the tomb of the first emperor, some will lead to some high-risk secret realms, and some are simply just doors."
At this point, Luo Xiang showed a hint of dissatisfaction on his face, and said: "Although it is understandable to take some precautions to ensure that the tomb of the First Emperor is not invaded by thieves, but I don't know which bastard came up with the idea of building so many gates in the same area."
This is definitely to prevent thieves like you...
Bai Qi shrugged and said, "Is this the secret realm that the association exchanged for the twin towers for the development rights?"
Luo Xiang nodded and said, "That's right. Even if there is no deal, the Thirteenth Bureau will eventually seek cooperation with the Association. However, the First Emperor Secret Realm is too special, so the Association is too lazy to bargain."
Bai Qi silently agreed with Luo Xiang's statement. With so many subjects, it would be difficult not to ask for help. After all, historically speaking, the association has existed longer than the federation.
At this time, Yi Yu came over and said, "It's just right. The special attack team is preparing to set off. You two should go together."
Luo Xiang nodded, and a fully armed team slowly walked out behind Yi Yu.
There are five people in the team. The one walking in front is a tall middle-aged man. He looks very steady and is probably the team leader.
Behind him stood three men and one woman, one of whom was Li Xusheng, whom Bai Qi had met once in the Tower of Gratitude.
Li Xusheng was a little surprised to see Bai Qi appear here, but this strangeness was only fleeting, and his eyes just stared ahead indifferently.
"This is Master Luo Xiangluo from the association. He was sent here to help us crack the secret realm. As for this one, you should know him. He is Bai Qi who discovered the rune evolution a few days ago."
Yi Yu pointed at Luo Xiang and Bai Qi and gave a brief introduction to them, but the special attack team did not react at all, as if Yi Yu were just introducing two stones.
"Your mission is to get them safely to the entrance to the next level. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
After hearing Yi Yu's order, the special attack team finally responded. Yi Yu then looked at Bai Qi and the others and said, "I have something else to do, so I won't go in with you two. If you have any questions, you can ask Captain Wang Huai."
Luo Xiang nodded, and then without waiting for the special forces team, he walked towards one of the huge pits with ease. Bai Qi did not stop either and quickly caught up with him.
Seeing Luo Xiang's appearance, Wang Huai and Yi Yu exchanged glances, and then led the special agent team to follow.
Because he had participated in the search and development of the First Emperor's Secret Realm in the first place, Luo Xiang was obviously very familiar with this place and soon came to a gate that was heavily guarded by soldiers.
Luo Xiang looked at Wang Huai and asked, "What's the situation now?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Huai stepped forward and said, "It is temporarily confirmed that behind this door is indeed the First Emperor's Secret Realm, but it should not be the central area, but the First Emperor's training ground."
"Training ground?"
Luo Xiang raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Yes, although we haven't found the guardian yet, it is definitely a training ground."
Wang Huai nodded, handed an electronic board to Luo Xiang, and said, "The advance team has found the entrance to the next area and cracked it. Judging from the current progress, it may be necessary to pass through this training ground before entering."
"We have already sent people to try. The training ground will adjust the opponents according to the level of the entrants, so Master Luo may have to temporarily suppress our strength. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to make a breakthrough."
Luo Xiang handed the electronic board back to Wang Huai and said, "Don't bother. I will act alone when the time comes. You just need to take care of this guy."
"this……"
Wang Huai's eyes flashed with a trace of embarrassment. After glancing at the three runes on the back of Bai Qi's left hand, he said, "Do we need to send Mr. Bai Qi to the next entrance? Maybe we can find something?"
They also had some , and perhaps some attainments in runes, but there was no way they could crack the secret realm of the First Emperor.
As expected, Luo Xiang just brought Bai Qi here to broaden his horizons and gild himself at the same time.
After all, being able to participate in the cracking and development of the First Emperor's Secret Realm is quite, no, a very significant part of one's resume.
"No need, just take him with you to participate in the breakthrough. It's fine as long as he doesn't die."
Luo Xiang waved to Bai Qi and said, "I'll go first. Have fun."
As soon as he said that, Luo Xiang opened the entrance and disappeared on the spot.
Bai Qi rolled his eyes when he saw this. How could he be the same as old man Qin? Couldn’t he have a sense of protection for young talents?
Tsk, I always feel like I’ve chosen the wrong person.
Seeing Luo Xiang act first and report later, Wang Huai felt helpless. He looked at Bai Qi and said, "Mr. Bai Qi, I suggest you seriously consider whether you need us to send you to the next entrance first?"
Their group's original mission was to try to break through the assessment at the training ground, but they were temporarily called over by Yi Yu to lead the way.
Luo Xiang would be fine, after all, Luo Xiang is also a leader among the Xiri-level masters. Although it will increase the difficulty of breaking through, the help is also obvious.
But this Bai Qi is a third-level beastmaster, which makes him seem a bit of a burden.
Therefore, the easiest way is to throw this guy to the next entrance, and then they can concentrate on breaking through.
"No need, Luo Da... The master should go and try to force the entrance directly. It's useless for me to go over there. I'd better try to break through with you guys."
Bai Qi waved his hand and refused directly.
Since the mechanism of this secret realm requires breaking through the training ground, and it seems to be quite difficult, the reward after breaking through will definitely be good. Bai Qi naturally does not want to miss such an opportunity.
The secret realm of the First Emperor, the rewards there must be unprecedented.
Seeing that Bai Qi didn't understand what he meant, Wang Huai was about to clarify the pros and cons with Bai Qi, but Li Xusheng, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.
"Captain, let him go."
Wang Huai was stunned when he heard this, but after seeing the strange expression on Li Xusheng's face, he immediately reacted.
"Could he be the one you mentioned last time..."
Li Xusheng nodded but didn't say anything. Seeing this, Wang Huai stopped trying to persuade him and took Bai Qi into the secret realm.
Just as Wang Huai had said before, Bai Qi saw a huge parade ground as soon as he entered the secret realm. The black metal exterior wall gave people a strong sense of solemnity even from a distance.
But they were too far away, so Bai Qi couldn't see the details clearly.
Surrounding the parade ground is a barren plain, and you can vaguely see a big gate not far away.
Are the entrance and the assessment point so far apart? It's a little different from the Twin Towers he had seen before.
"This place is still nearly 20 kilometers away from the training ground. Remember to follow us closely. This road is not as safe as it looks."
Wang Huai walked up to and said, "In order to avoid any mistakes, let's exchange our information first."
"Wang Huai, a fourth-rank beastmaster, whose main pet is the Barrier Treeman."
"Li Xusheng, a fourth-level beastmaster, whose main pet is the Rakshasa elephant."
"Tang Miao, a fourth-rank beastmaster, whose main pet is the Sky-Strike Mantis."
"Hundred Miles of Desert, fourth-rank beastmaster, main pet: Black Flame Snake."
"Bai Li Han Hai, a fourth-level beastmaster, whose main pet is the white ice python."
Wow, all of them are fourth-level beastmasters, and they are so young. These Thirteenth Bureau is really full of talented people.
