C2230 blood city Treasury
The true night had ended, Xia Lei did not know when the next time would be, nor did he know if he would be able to see it again. But as far as he was concerned, he didn't want to see it again. As he stayed in the Dark Death World for longer periods of time, his longing for his wife and children on Earth and the feelings for his wife and children on the Star of Hope also grew stronger and stronger.
As for that mission, it was still far from being able to lead the way.
Lava City.
A few generals of the Lava City brought Xia Lei and Qing Teng to the city gate. From afar, they could see the city guards standing at the top of the city gate tower. In order to avenge his son, the mayor of Blood City had taken away almost all of the youths, leaving behind only the elderly, women, and children.
"General Blood River has returned. Did we win the battle?"
"Why are there only a few?"
"It shouldn't be ?"
"Shh, don't spout nonsense. Be careful not to get sent to the Dark City!"
There was a murmur of discussion from the top of the city gate.
The blood river they were talking about was the one with the highest military rank. He had the same surname as the Blood City and was a relative of the side branch. He also had the same noble title as Blood Moon, the baron of Black Sun Empire.
Xia Lei did not care about his surname, nor his title. He only cared about the blood river's power and status in the captivity, as well as his prestige. If he wanted to control the Lava City, this blood river was the best choice. That was why he chose the Blood River and had it bring him and Nightingale to the Lava City.
Xia Lei and Nightingale were not the only ones who came. It was just over the village he had visited, in one point five.
Right now, it seemed that his decision to snatch the Suspension City was extremely wise. This city that could allow him to progress in it had already become a base for him to complete his mission in the Dark Death World.
"Open the gate!" Xue He, who had arrived at the city gate, shouted loudly.
The city gate opened, and Blood River and a few generals brought Xia Lei and Nightingale into Lava City.
The streets of Lava City were even more spacious and beautiful than the streets of Ember City. Walking on the streets of Lava City, Xia Lei could tell with a glance that the economic development of Lava City was much better than that of Ember City's. However, after the two militaristic battles, the streets were sparsely populated and there were few shops on both sides of the street that opened up.
The pedestrians on the street either avoided the blood river and the generals or bowed their heads in respect.
A straight path to the end of the street, and a magnificent castle entered Xia Lei's line of sight.
"Dragon King Majesty, that is the Blood Castle, the mansion of the Blood City's City Lord." Blood River said.
"Bring me in. You should know where I want to go." Xia Lei said indifferently, his voice carried an irresistible imposing aura.
Blood River lowered his head for a moment. "I know. Please follow me."
Xia Lei's gaze suddenly shifted to an alley beside the Blood Fortress, and a middle-aged man entered his line of sight. The man's body stood behind the wall, but he only stuck his head out and looked in their direction.
Their gazes met, and the middle-aged man was slightly surprised for a moment before retracting his head.
Blood River also looked over, but he saw nothing.
Xia Lei did not say anything as he followed the blood river into the hall of the Blood Fortress.
As soon as he entered the hall, the luxurious atmosphere of the city overwhelmed him. His eyes were filled with blood-red amber, and there were walls, a dome, and even a floor. The light was reflected by the blood-red amber light, and the hall was constantly rippling with blood-red light waves, like a gentle breeze.
Although Xia Lei had experienced the luxurious life of Blood City's father and son, and also imagined the extravagance of a Blood Castle, he was still shocked when he saw such a great hall. Russia's Amber Palace was famous, but compared to the Amber Hall in front of him, it was nothing.
"Can these amber be removed?" After observing for a while, Xia Lei could not help but say a few words. If he brought all the amber back to the Suspension City, made a room for Daqiao and Diao Chan to die together, wouldn't his life be great?!
Blood River was startled for a moment, then reacted, "If it can be taken down, I will immediately get people to take it down, and then offer it to Dragon King Majesty."
"There's no hurry. Bring me to the treasury of the Blood City." Xia Lei said. The main hall was already so luxurious, and he was filled with anticipation towards the treasury of the Blood City.
"Dragon King Majesty, please follow me." The blood river led to a corridor at the side of the hall.
Xia Lei followed him as he observed the surroundings from the corner of his eyes.
Nightingale whispered into Xia Lei's ear, "You have forgotten the most important thing, the heart of the city in Lava City, that is the most valuable spoils of war."
"No rush." Xia Lei said with a smile.
Nightingale, "?"
Take away the heart of the city of Lava City? Xia Lei had actually thought about this question before, but he wasn't thinking about just this, there was more. The location of the Lava City was completely different from that of the Ember City. Behind the city was an active volcano, and the people here could survive because the Runic Blood-crystal of the Suspension City provided them with energy shield. If he took away the heart of Lava City's city, the volcanic ash and poisonous gas would immediately cover the city, and at that time, not a single blade of grass would grow here.
Although it was an enemy city, if he really did that, then what was the difference between him and those inhuman war maniacs in history?
At the end of the corridor, there was a door. After opening the door, there was a stone staircase that led downwards. The walls were lit by oil lamps. The dim yellow light illuminated the stairs and the frescoes carved into the walls.
Most of the murals were about ghosts and legends. There were also some sculptures of pure art, such as a woman's body, revealing her true nature, and so on. They were all vivid and vivid. If these sculptures were brought to Earth, it would definitely be an art treasure that would cause a sensation throughout the world, and could be sold for a sky-high price at any given time.
After experiencing the Star of Hope and the Dark Death World, Xia Lei sighed emotionally in his heart. That was, Earth was truly too small, and to the world of the universe, it was just like a grain of sand, insignificant.
At the end of the stairs was a stone door. It was extremely thick, and its weight could be estimated to be at least ten thousand jin.
There were more than ten carvings on the stone door. There were some animals, such as iron lizards and ghost horses, as well as people, children, old men, women, as well as warriors. There were also some words written in the night watcher.
Blood River said, "Dragon King Majesty, behind this stone door is the Blood City Lord's treasury. However, only the Blood City Lord and Young Master Xue Yue know the password to open the treasury." He pointed at the carvings on the stone door and said, "These are the codes. They need to be pressed down, but they must be in the correct order. Otherwise, this door will be locked and an alarm bell will be heard throughout the entire process."
Nightingale frowned, "There are a total of 16 carvings, in other words the password for Blood City is the password for the 16, he really is a miser." Then she added, "General Blood River, can this door be destroyed?"
"Yes, but it will take time." When Blood River spoke to Nightingale, he was very polite. However, this was not because she was the City Lord of Ember City, but because of Xia Lei.
"Do you want me to destroy this door?" Nightingale was eager to try.
"No need, the alarm clock is ringing. Let me open it." Xia Lei walked to the bottom of the stone door, and then used a penetrating perspective to look at the sculptures, directly aiming at the mechanism inside the stone door.
Blood River said, "Dragon King Majesty, locking the door to death will be very troublesome. It's better to just directly blast it open, since no one can unlock the password to this door. There was once a group of thieves from the Doomsday City s of the imperial city that came to steal the stone door's password. Their cryptography expert tried to crack the secret of the stone door, but the departure alarm was caught red-handed. "
Xia Lei suddenly reached out and pressed down on a Steel Lizard's carving, then quickly pressed down on different carving pieces with his two hands. His movements were very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had already pressed down on all of the sculptures.
Ka ka ka ?
A string of sounds of mechanisms operating came from the inside of the stone door, and in the midst of the sound, the stone door slowly opened.
Xue He and the Lava City Generals stared at Xia Lei with their mouths agape. They couldn't figure out how Xia Lei did it, but the gazes they used to look at Xia Lei were filled with respect and reverence. This man who dared to go against the Azrael Diarro and annihilate the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the underworld, had a body filled with mystery and omnipotence!
Xia Lei walked into the treasury, and the scene that greeted him made him slightly open his mouth.
Inside the treasury were piles of black gold coins, top-grade blood crystals, magnificent art treasures, and boxes of various precious stones. Those gems were not like the rubies or emeralds on Earth. Each of them contained a unique energy. The most exaggerated one was a pink gem statue of a handsome man. It was as tall as a human being, with human features but no hair. The man's body had a perfect shape. Regardless of whether it was the lines of a single piece of muscle or the lines of his body as a whole, it was impossible to find any flaws in them.
Xia Lei also had such a body. It represented a perfect evolution.
With no hair, Xia Lei suddenly thought of something in his heart, "The man shaped by this sculpture seems to resemble the Axis I've seen before.
At this time, Nightingale suddenly walked to the middle of the treasury and excitedly said: "Look! That is the heart of the city, Runic Blood-crystal! "
Xia Lei's gaze moved over, he saw a stone platform, and the Runic Blood-crystal on it, which was the heart of Lava City. He was slightly surprised, because the heart of the city that was placed on the stone platform was almost twice as big as the heart of the Ember City!
Blood River and a few generals from the Lava City kneeled down. Blood River said: "Dragon King Majesty, please do not take away the heart of the city in the Lava City, because once you take it away, this place will be destroyed and everyone will be homeless. If you leave this place, most people will not be able to survive. , please let the civilians of this city go, they already have nothing left to lose. "
Xia Lei retracted his gaze from the City Star, and laughed: "I did not say that I would take it away, tell me, what is the origin of this statue?"
