Chapter 321 Whoever Wins Will Become the King of Bronze and Fire
The great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs.

The dragon clan also has sacrifices, and the objects of the sacrifices are the kings themselves.

In the ancient times, the dragon civilization was so prosperous. Relying on the power of words, alchemy and flesh, dragons traveled to every corner of the world, and civilized city-states existed in the sky and the sea.

At that time, human tribes generally worshipped totems of faith. Totems came from dragons. Dragons offered sacrifices and performed sacrificial dances to the noble monarchs. The class increased layer by layer, and the worship of the dragon clan was the oldest source.

Xia Mo and others arrived at the edge of the sacrificial area of ​​the Bronze City. The sacrificial area was divided into the altar, corridor, and survival hall.

The altar area is a sunken U-shaped structure with a majestic platform in the center and surrounded by bronze pillars that record history, mottled with time.

The snake head statues cover all sides of the altar, similar to the Terracotta Warriors in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. The layout of the snake head statues looks like a legion and a shaman. The metal-carved armor and long robes give people a feeling of heaviness and magnificence.

There was no sunlight in the Bronze City, but Xia Mo and the others had a clear view. This was because there were glittering precious metals placed in many places in the city. A half-breed came forward to observe and found that they were dragon scales.

The altar area alone is like a tomb. After all, it has been submerged under the water of rivers for thousands of years. However, the majesty of the dragon civilization still intimidates the “thieves” who break in.

Bai Muyang and the other mixed-bloods looked at each other, walked down the steps and headed towards the altar in front.

As the field of vision expanded, Bai Muyang and the others noticed that the walls on both sides were covered with murals using a special three-color paint of white, blue and red. The paintings were well-crafted and extremely visually impactful.

The last time Xia Mo arrived at the Hall of Continuation, she came from another hidden passage and did not come to the altar. She looked at the contents on the murals, which told the story of the reign of the King of Bronze and Fire in the fiefdom.

Countless bronze cities sprang up from the ground, dragons flew in the sky, and dragons transformed into human forms engaged in transactions and entertainment. This seemed like the most basic form of civilization.

The painting level of the murals is not very high, and they look like the patterns on unearthed earthenware. At first glance, they are quite abstract, but in fact they have high artistic value.

The dragons held many things in their hands that the hybrids could not understand. They were alchemical creations.

In addition to the giant dragons in the sky, there are also human-shaped dragons flying on spirit rafts. The murals divide the sky into nine levels.

Human beings’ imagination of mythology comes from the fact that this planet once gave birth to a prosperous race. In the primitive society that revered thunder and fire, humans looked at the dragon tribe and created a word – God.

In the dragon civilization, there is no concept of gods. The ruling class of dragons is the royal family, who are given titles called monarchs. The Black King Hödnig only has the title of emperor. Isn’t he a god? A dragon god?

Bronze pillars and murals record history. The contents of the peaceful times flash by, and the conquest and tyranny in the dragon clan’s bones are revealed.

Xia Mo and others stopped and looked at the largest mural.

It was not the battle with Emperor Guangwu’s army as Xia Mo had imagined. The mixed-race army could not withstand the vicissitudes of life and became the dust of history. The opponent worthy of the Dragon King’s revenge was an eternal existence like them – another Dragon King.

Xia Mi once told Xia Mo that she and Norton had sworn an oath of blood. At that time, Xia Mo curiously asked Teacher Daye who the enemy was that could unite the four monarchs to fight against.

Xia Mi complained that it was a giant snake that could never die.

Xia Mi didn’t explain in detail, so Xia Mo thought he was Xia Mi’s relative. After all, Teacher Daye’s original form was also a giant snake.

Now Xia Mo understood what the big snake Xia Mi was referring to.

When dragons fight in the wild, their blood is black and yellow.

The painter used bold and sweeping brushstrokes to depict the ancient war. A huge red dragon, a human-faced serpent, with one eye representing the sun and the other representing the moon, was fighting with a giant scaly and feathered snake. Their bodies were tangled together. The sky was filled with burning flames and an evil evening star. The earth was cracked because of the monarch’s rage, and the sea was dried up. The mural did not specify why the red dragon and feathered serpent clashed. The only thing the hybrids could feel was the smell of blood.

“A snake with a human face, could it be Zhulong? That snake with wings and covered with feathers reminds me of another god from Chinese mythology.” Bai Muyang said.

“Quetzalcoatl is a deity commonly worshipped in Mesoamerican civilizations. Its status has changed several times, and he eventually became the creator god in the eyes of the Mayans. He once held the honorable position of the sun god.” said Aiden, the captain of the Henkel family.

“Then who is the real King of Bronze and Fire?” someone wondered.

“It turns out that the Asian gods once fought with the American gods.” Some people also said.

Upon hearing this, the little-known Lu Mingfei recalled what Lu Mingze had said in Kunshan, that the Dragon King had many fiefdoms all over the world, and the titles of different fiefdoms were different.

“Legend has it that Quetzalcoatl rules the morning star, invented books, legislatures, and brought corn to humans. Quetzalcoatl also represents death and rebirth, and is the patron saint of priests,” Aiden said. “Death and rebirth, the dragon race relies on the ability of cocooning to constantly revive.”

“Will there be two kings of bronze and fire? Who will be the final winner and who will inherit the title?” Someone made a radical statement, “Our knowledge of the dragon clan all comes from the fragments of the Ice Sea, and we even know very little about the historical gap.” “This is a reasonable speculation.” Bai Muyang agreed.

These mixed-bloods were talking at once. Xia Mo, Chu Zihang and other students from Kassel Academy did not join in the discussion. Chu Zihang and Ling both had aloof images, Lu Mingfei was shy and Xia Mo was thinking about other things.

To be honest, Lu Mingfei was shocked when he saw the mural, but fortunately no one noticed his embarrassment.

The fighting scene on the mural inexplicably made Lu Mingfei frightened and angry. He had to take sides between Zhulong and Quetzalcoatl, and he thought darkly that these two first-generation creatures deserved to die!
Lu Mingfei was a little anxious about this idea. In order to divert attention, he found someone to talk nonsense to. Lu Mingfei saw that the senior sister was thinking about something, Chu Zihang was staring at the mural with sharp eyes, and only the little loli Ling was left.

“Zero, you…” Lu Mingfei was about to say something when he saw Zero fiddling with a small cube in the corner without anyone noticing.

When he saw it, Zero calmly put it away.

“what is this?”

“I brought the TV remote control by accident. Don’t tell anyone. I trust you.” Ling said.

Lu Mingfei was inexplicably trusted by the loli, and he was very happy, but he was also suspicious.

Ling looked at Lu Mingfei straightly without saying anything.

“…Okay, I’ll keep it a secret.” Lu Mingfei felt tired.

“Yeah.” Zero said softly.

The hybrids discussed for a long time without reaching a definite conclusion, so they sent all the contents on the murals to the ship and left it to professionals to deal with.

After that, it’s time to move on.

But there was a problem.

The maximum stretch length of the rope has reached its limit, so the group faces a question: whether to go back home or untie the rope and continue exploring.

At this time, people from different camps did not listen to Bai Muyang’s arrangements, they each had their own plans.

Xia Mo listened to the opinions of Chu Zihang, Ling and Lu Mingfei and voted democratically.

“I think we can’t give up this opportunity.” Zero’s usually indifferent eyes became so firm and deep, and the blonde loli said righteously with a stern face.

Xia Mo was surprised.

“What about you?” Xia Mo asked Chu Zihang.

“Follow the organization’s arrangements.” Chu Zihang said.

If it was a pursuit mission to kill the assassin, Chu Zihang would definitely choose to move on, to uproot the grass at its roots. As for the mission to explore and investigate the ruins, Chu Zihang would follow the crowd, as it was not a time-limited mission.

“What about you, Mingfei?”

“Me? Listen to Senior.”

Xia Mo was silent.

Well, the key vote is hers. No matter she goes or not, Ming Fei will go with her, so that means she has two votes. If Chu Zihang has more votes, that means she has three votes. This is very democratic.

Xia Mo looked forward. She remembered that if she walked forward and crossed the corridor, she would reach the Hall of Continuation. The hybrids would discover that a dragon egg was missing, which would cause the situation to become tense. They would suspect that the King of Bronze and Fire had been resurrected.

But would they think that the two cocoons are Zhulong and Quetzalcoatl?

At this time, the Orthodox and Han Gao families and organizations contacted each other and made a decision.

go ahead.
