Chapter 180 - Battling the Golden City (1)
"The real Golden City?" At this moment, I realised that the effects of training in Sun and Moon Village and the military region had come to fruition. If it was back then, my body would have been heavy and my running speed wouldn't have been very fast, but after experiencing so many life and death situations, my stamina had improved a lot, so I wouldn't be able to breathe heavily while running.
"Hm!" Hurry up, Wang Yong! "The water is going to flood this area," Qing Han, who was holding my hand, said hastily.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong.
"So you already predicted the crocodiles from before?"
"Hehe, I'm not a god, how could I predict that there would be a crocodile here. I only knew from ancient records that there would be a few traps around Gold City, so I thought I could use these traps to find an opportunity to escape. "Because I know that this is probably our only chance. Crocodiles are natural creatures, no matter how powerful I am I can't predict that."
"Hurry up!" Qing Han and I shuttled through the dark forest, closely followed by the sound of footsteps and the sound of flowing water.
"Crack! Crack!" Just as Qing Han and I were traveling through the dense forest, the sound of tree branches could be heard from the depths of the forest behind us. It seemed that something was running in the forest with Qing Han and me.
Qing Han and I were startled when we heard the voice coming from the forest nearby. We shut our mouths and quickened our pace as we ran forward.
"Run!"
The dark forest was very dark. There were many trees and twists and turns in the terrain, making it impossible to see what was in front of us. However, Qing Han and I were running for our lives because this was our only chance.
Suddenly, I heard an earth-shattering lion's roar coming from behind me. I didn't know what had happened to the Golden Lion and Spider Queen, but the flood that surged out from the arch just now had caused some obstruction and caused some chaos.
Qing Han and I ran with our lives on the line. I don't know if we ran 1 km or 2 km, but at the end, we suddenly realized that the number of forests in our surroundings had decreased.
In the middle of the empty area was a two storey tall, trapezoid-shaped building. Next to the trapezoid-shaped building were a few pillar like pagoda-shaped buildings, similar to a British Stonehenge. However, unlike the Stonehenge, the stone pillars were cylindrical while the Stonehenge was rectangular.
Strangely enough, there seemed to be a particularly large gap in the ravine directly above the trapezoidal structure. The brilliant sunlight from outside the ravine was shining down from the very large circular gap outside the ravine above us. A golden halo fell upon the trapezoidal structure, and for a moment, I saw an extremely shocking sight.
A palace.
Although countless moss and nameless weeds had grown on the surface of the building, gold was one of the toughest metals. Even after thousands of years of wind and rain, some parts of the golden building still shone with a dim light under the occasional sunlight. The top of the palace had become a flat top due to the erosion of the rain. The palace with the curved roof had become a flat top. Adding to the ladder that formed the structure in front of the palace, the entire palace looked like a mini Mayan pyramid.
Moreover, the palace in front of us was obviously just the tip of the iceberg. This five meter tall palace was only a part of the ground, and most of its volume was buried underground.
Just as I ran out of the Dark Forest, the surrounding fog marsh, four kilns, and four kilns, in the fleeting sunlight, a golden light filled my field of vision and the cold.
This was the Golden City?
"Golden City?!" No matter how desperate the situation was, when I saw the strange palace in front of me, I was still deeply shocked. Qing Han was as shocked as I was. It was as if she couldn't believe that the Golden City really existed in this world.
The two of us held hands and stood in front of the building that had risen up from the ground for a long time, until the sound of water behind us grew more and more urgent. Only then did we recover from our shock.
"Wang Yong, let's quickly run to the top of Golden City and find a way to break the shackles on our bodies. The water in the reservoir at the top of the mountain has all been drained into the rift. I estimate that this place will soon be flooded!"
I nodded my head. No matter how valuable the Golden City was, it still had to be taken with my life, so without saying anything further, I dragged Qing Han and ran towards the building in front of us. When we got closer, I discovered that the building was actually made of brick, and due to the movement of the earth's crust, a portion of the bricks had already collapsed and fell to the ground. When we reached the top of the golden wall, I grabbed a brick and tried to smash it against the chains on our bodies.
Fuck, could this really be a golden brick?
I didn't think much about it. I simply knelt down and lifted up a brick. Then, I followed Qing Han up the stairs of the Golden City.
It was a good thing that the surface of the Golden City had a terraced structure. If it was a smooth wall that went straight up, Qing Han and I definitely wouldn't be able to go up.
Qing Han and I ran up to the Golden City, panting on top of the nearly flat roof eroded by the rain.
"Qing Han, use this to break the chains on our bodies." I threw the brick in my hand to Qinghan. Qinghan looked at it and was stunned for a moment.
"Wang Yong, this seems to be a golden brick."
"I know it's a golden brick. Let's break it down first."
"Yes." Qing Han grabbed the gold bar, then made me turn around and sit on the ground. She grabbed the gold bar and slammed both hands together against the shackles that had locked me behind her.
Qing Han heavily smashed a few times with the golden bricks. The golden bricks hit the flat roof, making a loud 'pa pa' sound.
"I can't break it, this chain is too strong." After about ten strikes, Qing Han was still unable to break the iron chains on my hands. She was getting anxious.
"Good luck. Try again." I was also a bit anxious, but that was all I could do for now.
However, Qing Han kept smashing my bracelet for about 5 minutes, but she still couldn't break it open.
What made me feel strange was that the earth-shattering sound of the flood gradually died down.
"Qing Han, why is there no sound of water anymore? Didn't you say that the mountain top would be filled with water? "
Upon hearing my question, Qing Han was also stunned for a moment before she said:
"I'm not too sure either. Could it be because the lake at the peak of the mountain has dried up too long ago?"
After hearing what Qing Han said, my heart tightened once again. If the water at the top of the mountain had already dried up, I'm afraid that the water wouldn't be too much. I'm afraid that Spider Queen and the rest are still alive!
"Whatever, I'll just smash it a little more. I feel like the metal chain has become a little brittle …"
"Yes!"
But at this moment, something unexpected happened. A high-pitched, thin voice came from below us, accompanied by the familiar cry of a giant lion.
"Do you want me to untie it for you? "My little darling?"
The voice of the Spider Queen floated up from behind us. Hearing the voice, the golden bricks that Qing Han was holding fell onto the ground.
Then, I turned my head and saw a tall black figure slowly walking up the stairs. Along with that figure were more than ten figures in camouflage clothing and a gigantic lion that was five meters tall with a towering frame.
Crap, I didn't think that Spider Queen would be able to escape from the flood so easily, and even chased me and Qing Han here.
Even though my entire body was drenched, I still stood proudly in front of the Spider Queen. My letter had sunk to the bottom of the valley, and the cold jade hand tightly gripped onto my palm. I could feel that my cold hand was also trembling. Because she knows that her plan has failed and we were unable to get rid of the Spider Queen.
Moreover, the Spider Queen has already found the Golden City, so we can only die here.
Spider Queen swung her long whip and walked towards us step by step. The lion beside her also slightly opened its mouth and let out a low growl.
Looking at Spider Queen's face full of anger and the huge lion's cold eyes, I suddenly realized. I'm afraid I'm done for.
This time, I'm afraid none of us have any hope of escaping.
"Should I thank you all for helping me find the Golden City? Or should I kill you to vent my anger? "
Spider Queen's sinister voice resounded in the dark forest, setting off huge waves in my heart.
However, just as Spider Queen could only say this, another voice sounded from below.
"You want to kill my disciple, did you ask for my opinion?!"
A clear and loud female voice came from the forest in front of Gold City, causing everyone to be stunned.
Almost at the same time, everyone turned their heads to look behind them, and I was no exception.
Then I saw what made me the hottest and most excited.
Five figures slowly walked out from the depths of the forest with guns and bullets in hand. The one leading them was a slim figure with light blue hair.
That person was indeed the wretched girl!
