The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 460

Regarding the scene that will appear behind the bronze door, several people have thought about countless possibilities, but none of them will be like this.

Glazed tiles shine brightly under the light.Ning Yuan remembered that when he was traveling in the imperial capital, he had seen similar floors in those ancient palaces.

The tour guide at the time told him that this used to be a symbol of imperial power.At that time, Ning Yuan was still thinking about how boring the emperors were, they didn't even spare a piece of floor.And today, when he saw the glazed tile floor that had never been experienced before, the flames of war and devastation, he knew why.

The legendary hard floor has an incomparably bright light, like a golden crystal, with grace and luxury.

As a mortal, Ning Yuan's attention was attracted by this place, but the others obviously didn't pay attention to it.

"This is... the eternal lamp?" Yuan Mu squinted his eyes as he looked at the lights burning on both sides of the aisle, and then said.

"Long-bright lamp?" Hearing a familiar term, Ning Yuan couldn't help asking: "This is the legendary ever-bright lamp? Actually, I've always wanted to know, what is a long-bright lamp? It doesn't look any different from other lights. Why can it burn? So long?"

"Its special is not in the style, nor in the lamp itself. It is famous because of its lamp oil."

At this time, Yu Zhongwu explained. He turned his head and looked at the resting witches beside him: "The lamp oil of the ever-burning lamp is made of shark oil, and a drop of oil can burn for 1000 years."

Ning Yuan saw that there were too many emotions in Yu Zhongwu's eyes.Before he had time to think about it, he heard the witches take over the conversation: "In the beginning, the ever-burning lamp was a sacrificial vessel used by the witches."

At this moment, I would rather finally understand the details contained in Wu Zhongwu's eyes.

The Wu people believe in the power of their ancestors, and all power comes at a price, either by sacrificing themselves or others.

The monster race has been very powerful since ancient times, and as a sacrifice, it is naturally much stricter than other things.This is also the reason for the war between the Yaozu and the Wuzu in the first place.

In the final analysis, it is all for greater power and the right to continue to live.

Therefore, if there is no rise of the human race in the end, Ning Yuan feels that the relationship between the witch race and the monster race may be an endless ending.

It's just that the later human race intervened in this war, which is why there is the current result.And this result, no matter who it is, is already considered a good ending, and there is really nothing to complain about.

Whether it is for the monster clan or the witch clan who stayed in Shenzhou, almost everyone will subconsciously avoid such topics.

It's just that the current eternal lamp has exposed these things, which have long been deliberately forgotten, to the eyes of several people.Let a few people have to touch it.

"Then what should we do now? Keep going?" Ning Yuan, as the only human among them, changed the topic neatly.Looking at several people, he asked, "I always feel that there is something wrong with this aisle."

None of them are fools, and no one would turn over old scores at this time and get entangled in the past.Therefore, Ning Yuan's step was given just at the right time, so naturally he went down the donkey along the slope.

"No matter whether there is a problem or not, Yang Yang can't be left alone." After Yuan Mu finished speaking, he looked at Wu Zhongwu: "Are you sure it's here?"

"Yes, that disgusting smell... has drifted away from here." Yu Zhongwu pointed to the aisle ahead and replied in a low voice.

Now that Dancing in the Rain is confirmed, it's not easy for them to delay.Starting with the Malays, several people stepped into that strange corridor one by one.

The eternal lamp still emits light as it did thousands of years ago, but the glazed bricks under the feet are quietly changing.It's just that at this time, no one has discovered these.

It wasn't until Wu Yi walked to the middle of the aisle that he squinted his eyes, looked around, and reminded everyone: "No, this aisle is gradually widening."

When he said this, the rest of the people suddenly realized that the aisle had indeed widened unconsciously.Ning Yuan looked at the glazed bricks still covered under his feet, and couldn't figure it out.

If it narrowed, he could understand that someone wanted them to die inside.But why widen?Could it be that the person who built this aisle still wants the visitors to be comfortable?
As if responding to his thoughts, there was a sudden "click-click-" sound above the long light, as if some ancient mechanism was slowly starting to start.

Immediately afterwards, they saw some other lamp sockets sticking out their heads from the rock wall.However, unlike the eternal lamps, these lamp sockets are not equipped with wicks, but pearls the size of pigeon eggs.

Those pearls exude a soft light, illuminating the whole aisle more magnificently.

Looking at those beads, Ning Yuan was suddenly blessed, and blurted out: "Ye Mingzhu?"

In fact, most people have heard the story of the Pearl of the Night.People pass on this kind of bead like a god, but no one has seen what it looks like.

Someone once said that night pearls are nothing more than larger pearls. Ning Yuan has always been indifferent to such a statement.If that was the case, how could it spread so well? There is no wind without waves.

Moreover, the legend of Ye Mingzhu lies in the word "Ye Ming".But from ancient times to the present, he has never heard of which pearls can shine, or shine by themselves at night.

So, since it is not a pearl, what exactly is a night pearl?Is it a gimmick invented by the ancients themselves?

There have always been doubts about this point, but now this question has been answered.At least from Ning Yuan's point of view, he felt that he had actually seen Ye Mingzhu.

"Pfft - puff -"

Suddenly, the flames on the eternal lamp that had been burning for thousands of years made some dying sounds.Then, like well-trained soldiers, one after another went out.

But with the illumination of the night pearl, not only did the corridor not get dark, but it became even brighter.

It was only at this time that they realized that the luminous pearl in the aisle they had just passed had not lit up.The luminous pearl is like a bright light that guides them, leading to an unknown distance.

Obviously, it was too late for them to turn back at this time. The bronze door had already been closed silently when they entered.What's more, there is another Yang Yang whose life and death are unknown in front of him, waiting for them to rescue him.

"Well, it is indeed Ye Mingzhu." Yuan Mu replied following Ning Yuan's words.Looking up at the illuminated night pearls, he continued, "It seems that even if we want to leave now, it's too late. Let's go, Yang Yang is still waiting for us."

After saying this, he continued walking along the route indicated by those night pearls.At the beginning, the few people looked at the surrounding environment cautiously.But as they went deeper and deeper, the distance between the rock walls became larger and larger, and they gradually relaxed.

In the words of Dancing in the Rain: "If so much effort is spent just to let us relax our vigilance and catch them all in one go, I don't know whether it should be said that this person is too stupid or too naive."

None of the others expressed any objection.Indeed, judging from all indications, this is completely impossible.If you want to attack them, it is a good opportunity when they enter the bronze gate.There has been no movement for so long, and it is estimated that there will be no new situation.

Because they were thinking about Yang Yang who was taken away by the snake, they were not in the mood to appreciate the gradually brightening surroundings.After confirming his own safety, he quickened his pace.

Suddenly, Yuzhongwu who was walking in front shouted: "Hurry up! We are right ahead! The nasty smell is getting stronger from here!"

His words were nothing more than a shot in the arm for everyone who had been away for a long time.Even if they don't say it, after walking for such a long time, they will feel a little irritable in their hearts.

After all, the aisle seemed too long, and they walked for almost 10 minutes without any clues.If it weren't for the dimming pearl above their heads, they would probably feel that they were actually spinning around in place.

But now, the shouts of the dance in the rain made everyone's pace significantly quicker.

In this way, after walking for another ten minutes, they finally reached the end of the aisle.

Surprisingly, there was nothing at the end of the aisle.But when the light of the last luminous pearl fell on the edge of the glazed brick, what appeared in front of everyone was the scenery they saw before they reached the bronze gate.

They are all primitive, never artificially carved caves.

There is no enchantment, no corresponding bronze door, just like the gap between the rock walls they have walked through many times before.What appeared in front of him was a small gap.

If they weren't still standing on the glazed bricks and still in the light of the luminous lamp, they might feel that the road they walked before was all their own illusion.

The gap in front of them came too suddenly. Everyone looked at the gap and couldn't recover for a while.

"Who are you!? What are you going to do!?"

Just when several people were guessing what was going on, a voice came from the other end of the gap.The voice was full of panic, but it was full of air, as if it hadn't been hurt.

Hearing this voice, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

That was Yang Yang's voice!
This voice proves that he is still alive!No need to be reminded, the Malays were the first to get into the gap when they heard the sound.Yuan Mu, who was walking at the end, turned his head and glanced at those night pearls, but said nothing.

Although there are still many doubts, it is obviously more important to find Yang Yang now.
