Dragon Raja's Number One Player

Chapter 166 The Snake-Faced Statue

After making up her mind, Xia Mi rubbed her hands together and walked towards "One Slash to Cut Water" and "Blue Dream Sky".

Once I get rid of these two troublesome guys, no one will be able to stop me from exploring the Bronze City or escaping.

However, she clearly overestimated the players' limits.

You should know that players can call someone they've never met on the internet "Mom".

With a thud, "One Cut Cuts Water" caused his knees to buckle and he knelt on the cold bronze floor.

Xia Mi, who was about to make a move, was startled by his action and froze.

She was a little unsure what this guy was doing.

"What are you waiting for? Kneel down!"

Seeing that Xia Mi's movements had paused, "One Cut Through Water" was overjoyed, thinking to himself that this move was indeed effective.

However, it seems the effect is still not quite there, probably because one person's efforts are not enough.

Thinking this, "One Cut Cuts Water" quickly turned to the side and tugged at the trouser leg of "Blue Dream Sky" next to him, signaling him to kneel down as well.

In reality, Lan Mengtian, as the heir to the Tianyu Group, had never seen such a scene before.

He couldn't accept kneeling before someone, even in a game; he couldn't bring himself to do it.

And so, the two remained locked in a stalemate.

"One Slash Cuts Water" said awkwardly, "Great 'King of Mountains and Earth,' please forgive our insignificance. Actually, I've long wanted to join the great Dragon Clan."

Seeing that "One Cut to Cut Water" was even about to prostrate himself in order to prove himself, Lin Zhiying quickly stopped him.

He explained, "It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. We're all on the same side."

When "One-Cut Water" stood up again, his gaze toward Lin Zhiying held not only gratitude but also other emotions.

Lin Zhiying immediately understood what he meant: "Boss, you actually have connections with dragons?!"

"Why didn't you tell us about this good thing sooner? I've wanted to do it for a long time, but I didn't know how."

In "One Cut to Cut Water's" opinion, the big boss is really awesome, actually colluding with dragons so early on.

Damn it, I can't compete with the pros in normal gameplay, and I can't even compete with them as a "traitor."

"They are all like me, peaceful people who have a friendly attitude towards dragons."

Lin Zhiying didn't know how to explain the player identities of "One Slash Cuts Water" and "Blue Dream Sky," so she could only vaguely gloss over it.

"Yes, yes, we are all friendly people."

"One cut cuts water" immediately took over the conversation, nodding vigorously as he spoke.

Xia Mi glanced suspiciously at "One Cut Through Water" and "Blue Dream Sky," then at Lin Zhiying, and reluctantly believed what Lin Zhiying said.

Their shamelessness is exactly the same as Lin Zhiying's; they must be related at first glance.

Moreover, it seems that they are clearly led by Lin Zhiying.

From the perspective of dragons, these creatures are essentially vassals of her vassals.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhiying was such a reliable guy. When asked to lead the team, he actually brought over a group of his own people.

This makes the subsequent exploration much easier.

Xia Mi glanced at Lin Zhiying discreetly. She had initially felt that signing a "Dragon Contract" with him, which stipulated that she could only be with one person for life, was a bit of a waste.

Looking back now, it was an absolute steal!

Lin Zhiying and Xia Mi continued walking through the palace.

The difference this time is that with Xia Mi as a human guide, the efficiency of the operation is much higher.

They were able to jump over dead ends or dangerous traps that they might have otherwise encountered, all thanks to Xia Mi's use of her authority. The journey was basically smooth sailing.

"We'll now head directly into the depths of the 'King of Bronze and Fire's' chambers."

Xia Mi, who was leading the way, spoke up.

According to her perception, although there was power belonging to the "King of Bronze and Fire" in the palace, it was quite weak.

This means that the current state of the "King of Bronze and Fire" is very strange, and it doesn't look like it's recovering at all.

However, this was the best news for her.

This means that as long as you can successfully break in, you can go straight to the buffet.

------------

Xia Mi felt much better thinking about how she would be able to directly obtain the "authority" of the "King of Bronze and Fire".

He kept glancing back at Lin Zhiying, which made him feel uneasy, wondering what kind of trouble this crazy woman would cause next.

With Lin Zhiying and the others around, even if the "King of Bronze and Fire" hatches prematurely due to external stimuli, it will be greatly weakened.

As a dragon, he naturally understood that to use more powerful incantations, one needed to fully hatch into a dragon's body; if hatched prematurely, one would most likely only appear in a human body.

At that time, we, along with a few others, will also be able to kill Him.

"If that's the case, we need to act quickly."

Lin Zhiying pointed to the black steel cable behind him and the three of them, whose cuts had been reversed, and began to speak.

The rope behind them serves as both a rescue cable and a data cable, capable of transmitting images of their surroundings back to the Moniach with a delay.

Everything was fine until no one expected that Xia Mi would suddenly appear without any pretense.

Fortunately, Lin Zhiying reacted quickly, and in order not to reveal his presence, he appeared the moment Xia Mi appeared.

He immediately used his "Shattered Star" to cut the ropes connecting the three of them to prevent the Moniah from discovering Xia Mi's presence.

"Our time is limited. According to Professor Mans, if the data cable is cut off for two hours, they will assume we have failed."

"Other teams will be dispatched at that time, so we only have a maximum of two hours now."

Lin Zhiying spoke up.

"In that case, let's save time and go straight to the innermost palace."

Xia Mi was silent for a moment before speaking, pointing her fair finger in a direction.

That place is not within the authority of the "Dragon Servant," but that is precisely what makes it so unique.

The places that the "Dragon Attendants," who are responsible for security, do not have the authority to access are most likely the true palace of the "King of Bronze and Fire."

As for the potential dangers of unknown areas, Xia Mi wasn't worried at all.

The fluctuations caused by the previous hatching were triggered by her own hand, and the remaining dragon servant has now gone into hiding.

They can now roam freely in this bronze city.

-

As they got closer to the center, more and more enormous gears appeared all around, their interlocking gears exposed directly on both sides of the road.

The overlapping and interlocking elements make this place look like the inside of a mechanical clock, the only difference being that the clock is not currently running.

"What is that?"

"One Cut Cuts Water" suddenly stopped and looked at the shadows not far away, speaking.

A figure appeared on the floor, reflected by the searchlight.

"It's just a statue."

Xia Mi walked straight over.

Under the searchlight, the figure was clearly visible and indeed looked very human. The bronze material gleamed under the light, showing no signs of rust even after thousands of years.

The statue is dressed in Han Dynasty attire, wearing a loose metal robe that makes it look like a scholar, if one can ignore the snake head on its head.

It must be said that Xuanyu Company did a really good job with these details; the statue has an eerie feel to it at first glance.

Moreover, the entire road is lined with snake-faced statues standing on both sides.

"One Slash Cuts Water" touched the snake-faced statue in front of him with some curiosity.

The next moment, he watched as the snake-faced man's eyes lit up.

Is it just my imagination?

"One Slash Cuts Water" rubbed his eyes and then noticed that the snake-faced man's body had tilted slightly, as if it were closer to him.

He was so frightened that he took a step back, and this time the snake-faced man moved straight toward him right in front of him.

"Holy crap, these things are alive!"

"One Cut Cuts Water" reminded him as he retreated.

His voice drew the attention of Lin Zhiying and the others. They saw a snake-faced statue that had been standing by the roadside now standing in front of "One Cut Through Water," and it was becoming more and more agile over time.

Now its finger joints were gently turning, and a small wisp of silvery-white flame appeared at the snake-faced man's fingertips.

"Word of Power: Lord's Flame"

A much larger orange flame appeared in "One Slash Cuts Water"'s hand, its momentum far surpassing that of its opponent. Faced with the potential attack, he chose to strike first, his fingers, imbued with "Monarch's Flame," tracing across the A-grade longsword in his hand, instantly igniting flames across the entire blade.

"One Slash Cuts Water" brandished flames and slashed at the snake-faced man in front of him.

The silver flame in the snake-faced man's hand was instantly consumed by the "Monarch's Flame" without any resistance.

Having lost his power of words, the snake-faced man had no choice but to surrender.

The tip of the "One Slash Cuts Water" sword touched the snake-faced man, and in that instant, he saw the snake-faced man's health bar pop up on the panel.

Then, in an instant, everything was completely wiped out.

"Click, click."

Cracks slowly appeared on the bronze snake-faced human body, light emanated from its body, and then the entire body shattered into bronze fragments scattered on the ground.

"One Cut Through Water" looked at the long sword in his hand in disbelief.

Was I really that strong?

He actually killed the monster in front of him in one move.

Among the bronze fragments of the snake-faced statue, a silvery-white crystal stands out from the other pieces.

Deadpool Crystal (Rank D)

1. After being subjected to a Deadpool mental shock, the Deadpool transformation level increases by 5% (the impact is calculated based on the Deadpool's strength).

2. Obtain one of the Words of Power possessed by Deadpool (Current Word of Power: Firefly)

[Description: The crystalline substance that Deadpool drops has some uses, but also carries a high risk.]

"I never expected there to be such a thing," "One-Cut Water" exclaimed with delight upon seeing this unexpected gain.

He glanced around and saw the same snake-faced statues all around, with many more standing on either side.

"This is the 'Path to the Sanctuary'."

Xia Mi spoke first.

"Is this related to the pilgrimage you mentioned before?"

Lin Zhiying asked.

"Yes."

Xia Mi nodded, a hint of nostalgia on her face: "That was the era when dragons were incredibly prosperous. Every year, humans would gather as subjects to pay homage to the Dragon King, and they had to pass through this 'Sanctuary Road'."

"So, do you have one too?"

Lin Zhiying seemed to remember something and asked, "Of course, and mine is much more impressive than this guy's, though there aren't as many of them."

"Most dragons wouldn't create so many, because it's very expensive. The 'King of Bronze and Fire' is an exception, because He possesses unparalleled alchemy skills."

"The surrounding serpentine statues represent the metal elements controlled by Xiu, a total of 88 types. The creation of so many statues contains an element of showing off skills."

Xia Mi pointed to the crystal in "One Slash Cuts Water".

"And I heard that Norton has collected all the fire-type Words of Power. At first, I thought it was just a rumor, but it turns out it's true."

If that's the case, wouldn't we get rich if we just destroyed all of these?

Moreover, following this order, it's highly likely that the earlier you go, the more powerful the incantations become.

Is the ultimate fire-type incantation, "Candle Dragon," also here?

"One cut and the water is gone," he thought excitedly.

"Don't be too happy yet, it might not be so easy to get your hands on it."

Lin Zhiying spoke up, pouring cold water on his enthusiasm, saying, "Look up, the entire bronze palace is now activated."

The previous guide mentioned that these snake-faced men contain the power of words, which can be obtained by defeating them. The power ranges from D to A grade, and if you're lucky, you can even get items that directly improve your bloodline and elemental affinity.

Lin Zhiying didn't do that because the price of doing so would be to awaken the entire Bronze City.

"Quickly, before these statues fully awaken, let's head inside."

Lin Zhiying said that the exit of this bronze palace is also below. If they continue to stay here, they will most likely be trapped here by these constantly resurrecting snake-faced men.

A violent tremor shook the entire bronze city, causing it to spin like a Rubik's Cube.

Their location was a bottomless abyss, and compared to these snake-faced figures, this was the real danger.

A moment later, a huge snake-bodied human-faced statue stood before Lin Zhiying, about four or five stories high, with its eyes shining eerily.

Below it are ninety-nine steps, and above it is a bronze screen. Behind the screen, one can vaguely see the figure of a person.

"How dare such insignificant beings trespass into the Bronze Forbidden Zone!"

Seated behind the screen, the figure on the throne slowly raised his hand, and a grand and majestic voice came from all directions.

"Could this be the King of Bronze and Fire?"

"One Slash Cuts Water" was shocked. The Dragon King had actually revived?!

Xia Mi, who was standing to the side, was also a little surprised. According to her perception, the "King of Bronze and Fire" should not have hatched so early.

She had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.

However, they didn't have time to think about it any longer, because behind the throne, the huge serpentine statue had already started to move.

"careful."

Lin Zhiying spoke up to remind him.

"Smack."

The enormous metal fist slammed into the ground, creating a deep crater in the bronze floor.
