Xia Mu tapped around.

Xia Mi suddenly slapped him on the forehead: "You're the reptile! Your whole family are reptiles!"

Xia Mu dodged to the side and said irritably, "Isn't that right?"

“That’s a classification of humans. I’d say humans are a lowly species!” Xia Mi said, hands on her hips.

"Crack crack crack..."

As they argued, the quiet passageway echoed with the sounds of machinery turning and metal rubbing together.

Two rows of snake-faced men stood up in unison, looking straight ahead, their silver-cast pupils gleaming with a cold silver light.

"What the hell?" Xia Mu felt a chill run down his spine as he was stared at by a group of eerie snake children.

"The Way to the Sanctuary".

Xia Mi took the lead, swaying her ponytail as she walked forward: "The snake-faced sculptures on both sides represent the metal elements under Norton's control. Ancient humans, as subjects, would definitely pass through this road when they went to pay homage to him."

"Then our going there together will also count as paying homage..."

"We two are rebels."

Xia Mi suddenly stopped and turned to look at him: "Are you scared?"

Xia Mu followed closely behind her.

She suddenly stopped, almost causing him to bump into her back.

Even though he stopped in time, the tip of his nose still touched her wet ponytail.

"Don't you find those well-dressed snake-faced people scary?"

He took a step back, stretched out his right hand, and flames ignited from his palm, gradually increasing in temperature and enveloping Xia Mi's entire body.

He himself came out of the diving suit, completely dry, but Xia Mi was still soaked.

"That's perfectly normal, what's scary about it? You're so brave..."

Xia Mi suddenly felt warm all over, enveloped in heat, and the water vapor evaporated.

She glanced at Xia Mu, then swallowed her words: "Thank you."

You're welcome.

Xia Mu withdrew his hand.

A long journey.

They traversed the labyrinthine tunnel system of the Bronze City and arrived at an open space.

The water in the passageway flows into a lake here. The water is a deep, almost blackish blue, icy cold, and its depth is unknown.

Xia Mu looked up and saw the golden light illuminate, clearly imprinting everything into his eyes.

He saw a bronze dome that resembled the sky, which was a giant tree that sprouted from the center of the bronze dome, transforming into countless branches and petals, like a huge fractal diagram that made people dizzy just by looking at it.

“This is a temple, a place of pilgrimage,” Xia Mi said.

"Is it made so complicated to make people dizzy and hallucinate?"

Xia Mu looked ahead.

The enormous snake-faced human sculpture sits against the bronze wall, completely different from the previous ones. It is as tall as a 10-story building, like a statue in an ancient Greek temple.

Even though they were far away, Xia Mu and Xia Mi still had to look up at it, like pilgrims.

"Is that a bronze statue of Norton himself? Is that what he used to receive worship?" Xia Mu pointed at the statue disrespectfully.

Xia Mi rolled her eyes: "Otherwise, what else? Does he have to sit there by himself? Then he wouldn't have to do anything every day."

"You like snakes so much..."

Xia Mu looked at the snake's face and felt uncomfortable all over.

"boom!"

The entire hall suddenly shook.

Xia Mi suddenly jumped back and hid behind Xia Mu.

"What are you doing?!" Xia Mu also shrank back.

But Xia Mi, supporting his back, said, "Men should block the way."

"Crack crack crack..."

The two stopped arguing and looked ahead together.

With a sickening creaking sound from the metal joints, the bronze statue slowly stood up.

A pair of eyes, as large as water tanks, suddenly gleamed with a sharp, golden light.

"Are you kidding me? This huge lump is also recycled metal? And there's a living being inside?!" Xia Mu subconsciously took a step back, but bumped into a soft body.

Xia Mi pushed him again: "Go! Don't be afraid!"

"Why don't you go?!" Xia Mu shouted angrily.

This giant statue must weigh a thousand tons; one punch and it would be turned into a meat patty.

“Girls need to be protected, that’s something we learned from you humans!” Xia Mi said matter-of-factly.

"winter!"

With a strong wind hitting their faces, the two had no chance to refuse any longer and simultaneously dodged to the sides.

The enormous iron fist landed where the two had been standing, leaving a crater ten meters in diameter in the ground.

Fortunately, the entire ground was made of bronze, which is why it wasn't smashed.

"Winter! Winter! Winter!"

The air around Xia Mu surged, carrying him up and down as he moved horizontally and fled throughout the entire temple.

"Damn it! Why are they targeting only me?!"

The statue stood in the center of the hall, and the iron fist chased after him. In a short while, the temple was riddled with craters and its former solemn appearance was gone.

Xia Mu seized the opportunity, leaped to avoid the punch, and landed on the head of the statue. At the same time, he looked around but could not find Xia Mi.

"They walked so fast..."

His facial muscles twitched, and he began to doubt whether Xia Mi was really there to cooperate.

"boom!"

But he had no time to think, because when the statue realized it couldn't hit him, it suddenly crouched down, then jumped up and rammed its head into the sky.

Xia Mu immediately rolled off the statue's forehead and ran wildly down its back.

The statue's head was embedded in the dome, but its giant hand pushed upwards, causing its entire body to fall back down, and then it turned to slap Xia Mu on the forehead.

Word of Power: The Bronze Throne!

Xia Mu's golden child became deep and profound. It looked the same as before, but its whole body suddenly hardened, as if it were cast from steel.

"winter!"

His small fist landed squarely on the palm of the statue, their sizes seemingly incomparable, but the statue's strike stopped at that moment.

Xia Mu's feet sank into the ground.

"sure!"

His eyes sharpened. In the end, this was a living being bound by regenerated metal, not beyond the scope of alchemy, and its strength was at most the same as the bronze throne.

"Again!"

Xia Mu stopped dodging, pulled himself out of the ground, and beckoned to the statue with his finger…

Chapter 167 Xia Mi and Jormungandr

"Winter! Winter! Winter!"

Inside the temple, Xia Mu launched a counterattack against the statue, like a white mouse fighting a human one-on-one. Although they looked very different in size, they had the same physical strength.

At most, there might be some difference in strength...

"boom!"

Xia Mu left the character "太" on the sky.

"Boom boom boom..."

The human-shaped depressions moved along the way, almost covering the entire hall.

"Whoosh!"

As the little iron man and the big iron man bombarded each other back and forth, a slender figure suddenly appeared between them.

Summer!

She aimed directly at the middle of the collarbone below the statue's neck and punched it.

"winter!"

But before she could even touch that spot, the giant hand slapped her from the side, sending her flying.

Suddenly, fine dragon scales grew out of Xia Mi's body, curling back and covering her entire body.

With a bang, she also left a human-shaped dent on the wall, and a... "big" character.

Xia Mu's eyes flashed, and he opened the sword box with his backhand, drawing the Han Bafang sword with a clang.

"winter!"

As the giant fist came crashing down, he flipped over and leaped up, running swiftly along the arm until he was on the statue's shoulder in an instant. He dodged the strike from the other hand, flipped his body, gripped the sword hilt with both hands, and thrust it towards the center of the collarbone.

With a "click," the statue's movement suddenly stopped.

Then a dark shadow flashed by, and Xia Mi's hand, covered with fine dragon scales, gently poked a finger into the notch left by Han Bafang.

"Clatter."

A soft sound came from inside the statue.
