Chapter 320 The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind
Kuimen, hollowing out the boat.

Kuzhou is the name of the large ship provided by Orthodoxy. Its scale and functionality are not inferior to the Moniah currently in service at Kassel Academy.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas mentions the use of hollowed wood to make boats and bent wood to make oars, telling the story of Fuxi, the ancestor of human civilization, crossing the river by boat.

Xia Mochu, Zihang and thirteen others put on professional diving equipment. With a rope connected to the boat behind them, they stood on the edge of the boat and jumped into the Yangtze River.

It was exactly eight o’clock Beijing time, and the Kuimen Operation officially began.

Ten minutes ago, the alchemist masters from several major organizations successfully cracked the access control system of the Bronze City. The Weeping Ghost with a green face and fangs was delighted, opened his mouth wide, and thirteen people rushed in.

After a whirlpool and a feeling of weightlessness, Xia Mo returned to the Bronze City, which looked no different from the past.

The orthodox leader Bai Muyang and Xia Mo exchanged glances. According to the previous agreement, Xia Mo from Kassel Academy would lead everyone to the place they had visited before.

First, it is to verify whether the Kassel Academy is lying and whether they have really been to the Bronze City, or whether they are just trying to get something for nothing.

On the other hand, it is also a better way to achieve the mission goal. Instead of searching aimlessly, it is better to explore nearby in a planned way.

Regardless of the true thoughts of organizations such as the Orthodox, the Henkel family, and the Kassel Academy, the nature and tone of the Kuimen Operation is scientific exploration, rather than entering a secret realm to rob each other of treasures like in fantasy novels. At least we have to wait until the treasure is found.

Hybrid organizations such as the Orthodox expect to discover something in the Bronze City that will lead to a breakthrough in the research of dragon civilization.

According to Xia Mo, when she first came here, she was only focused on finding a way out and had no time to record the things she encountered along the way. This time the team was more professional, taking photos and uploading them to the scholars on the boat for research.

Xia Mo used her memory to lead everyone through the interior of the Bronze City. As mentioned before, the internal structure of the Bronze City was like a sophisticated mechanical watch. Each area was connected by pipes, and it was like a horizontal map of a pigeon game. First there was a long and narrow path, and after walking past it, the world suddenly opened up.

Scholars previously speculated that the Bronze City was mainly divided into the following major areas: the palace area, the sacrificial area, the treasure area and the servant area.

The last time Xia Mo broke into the palace area, Xia Mo, who was carrying the token dagger, had a detailed map in her mind and entered the huge palace area unimpeded.

Xia Mo and others came to the council hall. Tall bronze pillars supported the ceiling that reached into the sky. Neatly arranged statues of people with snake heads were bowing and holding tablets. The scene was solemn and dignified.

There was air flow in the council hall. The hybrids took off their oxygen masks and pressed a button on their helmets. The cameras transmitted everything they saw to the Kuzhou for scholars to analyze.

In addition to the majestic bronze pillars and the weird snake-head figurines, what caught the hybrids’ attention was undoubtedly the patterns on the ceiling, which were mysterious and exquisite, and looked like magic spells.

Xia Mo knew, however, that it was just a boastful article praising the King of Bronze and Fire.

My king is great, no words are needed.

laugh.

Chu Zihang and Ling were recording their duties as diligently as the others, which made Lu Mingfei feel a little uneasy. Lu Mingfei had lived an ordinary and somewhat miserable life for the past 18 years. This was his first time on duty, so he was inevitably nervous. In addition, the Bronze City was made of metal on all sides and had no windows, which brought him great psychological pressure.

I always have a bad feeling…

What if the exit is blocked and they have no food? It is impossible for the hybrids to evolve teeth and stomachs that can chew and digest raw iron.

Lu Mingfei’s thoughts were scattered.

“This should be the place where the King of Bronze and Fire summons his subjects.” Bai Muyang observed. He looked towards the deep passage on the right and asked Xia Mo, “Xia Mo, have you been there?”

“There…” Xia Mo looked over, thought for a moment and replied, “I remember it was the bedroom of the King of Bronze and Fire, because there was a big bed.”

“Huh?” This news excited the mixed-bloods, who thought there must be some secrets hidden in the bedroom. After all, people always hide their little secrets in private spaces.

After discussion, everyone agreed to explore the Dragon King’s palace. The Kuimen operation was led by Zhengtong, and Bai Muyang was the apparent leader. He had the final say on the direction of the operation. Before there was a conflict of interest, everyone cooperated with this handsome and reliable young man.

The Orthodox is an alliance organization. The Bai and Zhou families are the most powerful and each sent two people. The rest are one from the Chen family and one from the Li family.

Xia Mo noticed that the young man from the Chen family looked at her with a strange look in his eyes. He glanced at her several times, as if he was hiding something.

Did he fall in love with me at first sight?
joke.

Xia Mo is not a shrimp-headed dragon, but Xia Mi is a shrimp-headed girl, slandering Teacher Daye.

The young man’s name is Chen Jingting, his last name is Chen. Xia Mo thought of Nono. His real name is Chen Motong, and Xia Mo is used to calling him Nono.

Speaking of which, Xia Mo still doesn’t know Nuonuo’s specific background. It seems that he is from a mixed-race family. Could this person be Nuonuo’s family member?

Judging from Nono’s bad temper, there is a high probability that he has a bad relationship with his family.

Every family has its own problems. Long Wowo was also very worried about some things. Chen Jingting did not take the initiative to provoke Xia Mo, and Xia Mo was too lazy to talk to him.

During this Kuimen operation, she only needs to protect Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang and Ling.

Xia Mo came here for an outing. Holding the token, she could move freely in the Bronze City. She also knew best how dangerous the Bronze City was. Xia Mo secretly closed the mechanisms in the Bronze City to prevent accidents.

When Xia Mo and the others passed through the long passage and entered the Norton dragon-shaped palace, on the shore of Kuimen, a young man took advantage of the cover of night and the rising white mist and jumped into the water, a free fall.

Compared with Xia Mo and others who were fully armed, the young man only wore a waterproof goggles and didn’t even have an oxygen tube. Relying on his strong physical fitness, he forced himself to dive more than 60 meters underwater. In the dim deep water, the inside of the waterproof goggles emitted a golden halo.

Old Tang didn’t understand why he jumped into the river so late at night, he was not Qu Yuan. But he had dreams one after another during the three days since he came to Fengjie. The burning fire and the miserable death of the little boy in the dream deeply hurt Old Tang’s heart. A voice told him that it was too late, and if he didn’t return to his throne, his whole family would die in the end.

Even though Old Tang was an orphan, the voice was truly vicious.

As a professional bounty hunter, Lao Tang noticed something strange about the big ship on the river, but being agile and experienced, it was easy for him to dodge the search because he was a professional.

The other smuggler was also a professional. After all, Zero learned diving skills from her.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

“This is Jiude Mai. The target is heading towards Bronze City as planned. What are the next instructions?”

“okay, I get it.”

Jiude Mai stretched lazily under the moonlight on the shore, the moonlight and darkness outlined a curve that would make one’s nose bleed. She returned to the sea like a mermaid, quietly and cautiously following Lao Tang.

……

After exploring the bedroom, the half-blood team did not have the luck to enter the hidden real room of Norton and Constantine, but accidentally entered the sacrificial area, where they saw a series of heroic and poignant murals.

By the way, the hall where Xia Mo took away Constantine’s cocoon is in the sacrificial area.
