Chapter 126 Solve a Problem (6.3k)
Zheng Shu reached out and knocked on the bronze statue, using the feedback of the vibration to find the location of the Dragon King's bedroom.
After closing his eyes and waiting for a while, Zheng Shu suddenly looked up at the bronze statue in front of him. After a careful observation, he found a heavy door that was closed behind the bronze statue. Judging from the marks on the door, this bronze door should have been closed not long ago.
It seems that the Dragon King's bedroom had been open before, but it was urgently sealed with the bronze statue and the door because he came here.
But what's the use of this? Zheng Shu's previous performance has shown that such a defense can only delay him for a little time at most.
After moving his shoulders slightly, Zheng Shu punched the huge bronze statue with a violent force surging out, and under the guidance of power, he easily destroyed the connection of the main structure of the statue.
The terrifying force spread along the water around the statue, and the entire water area fluctuated like boiling. The hundreds of tons of bronze statues shattered instantly, revealing the door with snake-like patterns engraved on the back.
Boom!
Another punch was thrown, but this time the fist did not directly touch the bronze door. In front of his fist, several alchemical arrays struggled to support the protection.
Zheng Shu raised his eyebrows in surprise. From the touch, it seemed that his attack was directly spread to the entire Nibelungen in that moment.
No matter how strong his attack was, it was meaningless to the whole world. It seemed that the alchemical technology of the King of Bronze and Fire was not exaggerated. He could even make such an outrageous defensive measure.
After carefully observing the state of the alchemical array, Zheng Shu swung a few punches mercilessly. Although it seemed that it still had no effect, cracks began to appear on the wall behind the array, and the stability of the entire alchemical array began to decline, becoming blurred like a TV with a bad signal.
No matter how good the effect of the alchemical array is, the materials that carry the alchemical array and the array itself have their limits. If it cannot be penetrated, it can only mean that the output energy is not high enough.
With such a simple idea, Zheng Shu's fists continuously bombarded the defensive magic circle. It only took one or two minutes for the wall supporting the magic circle to shatter, revealing the bronze gate that had been protected behind it.
Just as he was about to smash the bronze gate with his fist, Zheng Shu suddenly found that the water temperature around him was rising rapidly. In just a moment, thousands of tons of water in the hall were heated to a boiling state by an unknown force.
Boom! !
When the temperature reached a certain limit, a large amount of water was instantly evaporated into steam. The terrifying expansion ratio of water vapor even caused a huge explosion, like a nuclear bomb, exploding directly in the water. Even with the dual defense of Nibelungen and Bronze City, the moisture inside the entire Bronze City was emptied in an instant by the terrifying shock wave.
After the explosion, the interior of the Bronze City, which was originally submerged by the river water, became dry. The entire hall seemed to have turned into a huge oven. Zheng Shu could even see the bone fragments that were blown into pieces next to it quickly turned brown and black.
As if knowing that the previous attack had no effect on Zheng Shu, the enemy in the dormitory launched another attack. The hot wind blew in his face, the bright light could be seen even through his eyelids, and his nose was full of a strong burning smell.
The source of the light was the bronze door in front of Zheng Shu. The black bronze was heated and lit up in an instant. Even with a welding torch, it would take several hours to melt through a small hole in the metal door, and it turned into a liquid with dazzling light in an instant.
The next moment, a column of fire like a volcanic eruption, carrying hot and hot liquefied bronze, gushed out, with extreme high temperature and destructive impact force, spraying towards Zheng Shu in front.
Word Spirit: Jun Yan.
Compared with this Jun Yan, the Jun Yan released by Chu Zihang was as harmless as the faint light of a firefly.
Bang!
A figure covered with red bronze fell to the ground, completely dead.
The majestic hall had become a mess. A big hole had been melted through the bronze door in front of it. The edge of the hole emitted a dazzling light. The bronze melted into red-hot molten iron, dripping on the ground.
After a long time, it seemed that the enemy had finally lost his life, and a figure slowly walked out of the palace.
He was not tall, and could even be called short. Although he could see some muscles on his body, he still looked very thin. There was a terrifying flame burning all over his body. Wherever he walked, the metal ground would melt instantly, leaving red footprints emitting high temperature.
His face seemed like a broken stone, with lava flowing in the cracks. As time went by, these cracks were constantly healing, and his pupils were burning, emitting brilliant gold.
Walking to Zheng Shu's side, the burning figure looked at the bronze on the other side that was constantly cooling and condensing. After waiting for a long time and finding that Zheng Shu had no ups and downs and breath, he was relieved with some relief.
"Brother, I'm so scared..."
A faint voice came from the burning figure. It was hard to imagine that this existence with great deterrence could speak so weakly.
Zheng Shu, lying on the ground, remained motionless, pretending to be a corpse, until Constantine came to his side...
He casually grasped Constantine's completely alienated claws.
Constantine was immediately shocked.
The terrifying power gathered instantly under the blessing of the Bronze City, and the air was filled with a heavy burning smell. The air above his head seemed to be ignited.
The effect of a napalm bomb air explosion was close to that of a sea tide. The flames were launched from the top of his head, carrying a strong shock wave to hit Zheng Shu on the ground.
After another round of Junyan, the bronze on his body, which had cooled and hardened, was melted again, revealing Zheng Shu who was unharmed underneath. He had almost no damage except that his diving suit was broken.
Seeing that his attack had no effect, Constantine's eyes revealed panic. Before he could launch the next attack, Zheng Shu had already turned over and stood up. Constantine, who was held by his ankle, was also pulled down by a terrifying force, and then Zheng Shu lifted his ankle and slid upside down.
Zheng Shu, who turned into a dragon man, was two meters tall. He lifted Constantine, who was less than 1.6 meters tall, like a large doll.
Zheng Shu was too lazy to dodge Constantine's continuous attacks. As long as it was not a Word Spirit of the level of Zhulong, other Word Spirits would only feel a little hotter to his current defense.
After several consecutive attacks, he found that he did not cause any damage to Zheng Shu. The flames on Constantine became low, and tears began to accumulate in his eyes. Although these tears were quickly evaporated by the high temperature of his body, Zheng Shu still noticed his mood change.
Subway, old people, mobile phones.
Although these dragon kings are strong in strength, their psychological problems are also frightening. If ordinary people have psychological cracks, these dragon kings probably have only one hole left in their minds.
Zheng Shu was a little helpless. Constantine's performance made him feel like he was bullying a child, although this "child" was old enough to be his ancestor in the Cretaceous period.
And it was just him. If ordinary people were attacked by Constantine, they would basically save cremation.
"Panel, help me copy the enhanced template."
[The user has contacted the carrier containing unknown factors, and the sample has begun to be tested]
[Testing...]
[Testing completed, the enhanced template has been set up according to the carrier sample]
[Attention! ! According to the test, the enhanced template has certain defects and needs to be supplemented by unknown methods]
"Okay, don't cry first."
After copying Constantine's template with the panel in his heart, Zheng Shu lifted his ankle and shook it hard. Although he looked very thin, Constantine was a dragon king after all, and he would not die because of this shake.
"I didn't cry, my brother will avenge me!"
"Yes, yes, your brother is the best."
Looking at Constantine's stubborn expression, Zheng Shu echoed perfunctorily, and just carried Constantine upside down and walked into the depths of the palace.
At the end of the passage, the first thing that caught Zheng Shu's eyes was two huge, pure-blooded dragon corpses. Looking at the breath emanating from the remains of the corpses, it is estimated that these two should be second-generation species.
"Samson and... the dragon attendant?"
Looking at the two corpses in front of him, Zheng Shu tried hard to recall the contents of the original book, feeling a little uncertain. No wonder he felt that the bloodline of the guard dragon he met was a bit low. As the tomb keeper of the Dragon King, he should be at least a second-generation species. As a result, the dragon he met was only a third-generation species.
Now it seems that the real dragon attendant had died before he broke into the Bronze City, and relying on the breath of the Nibelung to cover up, Samson also sacrificed his life behind.
Continuing to walk forward, Zheng Shu saw another small house at the end. With his dark vision, Zheng Shu could see clearly that this was a small house made of bronze. The ancient dwellings were simple and practical, and it was impossible to analyze the age from the architectural style because the layout inside was too simple.
There was only a rattan bed and a bronze low table with a ceramic vase. In the corner, there was a bronze maid statue kneeling and holding a palace lantern, but the palace lantern had long been extinguished because no one had added oil for a long time.
Zheng Shu stood in the center of the house, looking at the bed woven with hard vines. On it stood a huge brass pot, which was full of complex and incomprehensible patterns. Under the illumination of the flames on Constantine's body, it scattered a faint glow.
But now the top of the pot has cracked, and the thing hatched inside is being held in Zheng Shu's hand.
Behind the pot, there are several tentacles made of flesh and blood extending outside the house, connecting to the two dragon corpses outside, which is also the reason for the death of the two second-generation species.
"Sacrifice..."
Zheng Shu only observed the surrounding alchemy array to understand the specific situation. It seems that Samson and the dragon servant judged that their two second-generation species were not the enemy's opponents at the moment he invaded with Nibelungen, so they could only use their own flesh and blood as a sacrifice to awaken the king they have been serving in advance.
No wonder Constantine's strength is much stronger than in the original book. After all, he was forced to wake up in the original book, in a very weak state, and even the power in his body was unstable.
This time, with the blood and flesh of two extremely powerful second-generation species as sacrifices, Constantine recovered to his full strength as soon as he revived. If it weren't for his congenital defect that caused him to have no dragon body, Zheng Shu really couldn't capture him as easily as he did now.
Coming out of the bronze hut, Zheng Shu directly let go of Constantine's hand. As soon as he broke free, Constantine, regardless of his dignity as a dragon king, rolled away from Zheng Shu.
Seeing that elements were gathering around Constantine and preparing to release the Word Spirit again, Zheng Shu snapped his fingers and directly imprisoned his elemental control. Although he was still inside the Bronze City, Zheng Shu had not been doing nothing in the hall for such a long time. Except for the control of the core area that had not been seized by him, the entire Bronze City was basically under the control of Zheng Shu.
The feeling of being forced to disconnect from the surrounding elements made Constantine's breath stagnate. Then he found that the enemy opposite him had disappeared, and then his vision began to spin. When he reacted, he had fallen to the ground. The severe pain from his back made his eyes black and he lost consciousness for a short time.
Zheng Shu's attack this time was not very reserved. Constantine was dizzy on the ground for a long time before he recovered.
"Are you awake? I have eaten all the rice in your house."
As soon as he opened his eyes, Zheng Shu's head popped out of his field of vision. Constantine wanted to resist, but he found that the power in his body was suppressed to the limit, and the original connection with Nibelungen was also disconnected.
Faced with the only connection with his brother being severed, Constantine, who was extremely weak when he was created, could no longer maintain his courage and curled up on the ground and cried.
Zheng Shu scratched his head, a little dissatisfied that Constantine did not pick up his joke.
"Okay, okay, stop crying. I haven't killed you yet, you should be able to see that I have no ill will towards you. Come, let's talk about cooperation. I can let you and your brother live safely together."
"I'm just... I'm weak, not stupid... Give up! I won't tell you my brother's location even if I die."
"But don't you know your brother's location now?"
Zheng Shu's question directly sank Constantine, and the flames on his body dimmed visibly.
After thinking for a while, Zheng Shu snapped his fingers and used Hela's talent to temporarily create a small Nibelungen around himself and Constantine that was independent of the current Nibelungen.
After ensuring that no one would hear his next conversation, Zheng Shu told Constantine about Lu Mingze's plan according to the original plot. Although he did not say who was the person behind the plan, he knew the other party's identity from Constantine's violently fluctuating breath and fearful expression.
The Dragon King's intuition told Constantine that the other party was not lying. As a Dragon King, the most valuable thing about him was his strength and bloodline.
Constantine originally thought that the other party wanted to hunt Norton through him, so he was very resistant, but through Zheng Shu's explanation, he felt that the other party might have discovered the location of his brother.
Although Norton has not recovered his memory now, with the extremely weak connection between the twins, Constantine can be sure that his brother's state is the same as what the other party said.
"Then... what do you want to do? What do you want to get from me?"
Hearing that Constantine, the stubborn dragon, finally compromised, Zheng Shu smiled like Brother Jie.
"Elbow, come with me into the house!"
Back in the bronze hut, Zheng Shu pointed to the nearly 1.6-meter-tall bronze bone bottle on the bed and asked, "Can you make a fake one of this?"
Looking at his bone bottle, Constantine was a little surprised: "Yes, but to what extent do you plan to fake it?"
"It should probably be able to awaken your brother's memory, and make it so that others can't tell it's fake."
"The second requirement is very simple, but the first one... According to you, my brother is now in a period of confusion after waking up. I'm not completely sure whether his memory can be awakened. Generally speaking, only strong enough stimulation can restore his memory." Constantine was a little embarrassed.
"That's fine. Anyway, after you two brothers reunite, you have plenty of time to restore his memory." Zheng Shu nodded, stretched out his hand and stroked his shoulder, and an arm fell off.
Although an arm was cut off, there was no sign of bleeding at all from the wound on the shoulder. As Zheng Shu summoned a piece of compressed instant noodles in his stomach, Hela's self-healing ability began to take effect. Zheng Shu, like a Namekian, suddenly stretched out a new arm with mucus from the broken shoulder.
After moving the newly grown arm a little and finding nothing unusual, Zheng Shu shook his hand hard to get rid of the mucus on the arm.
And the arm he cut off also turned into a squirming mass of flesh and blood under his command.
"Take it, put this thing in when you make a new bone bottle, remember to cover the breath, don't let people find my flesh and blood." Zheng Shu handed the mass of flesh and blood to Constantine, who was stunned, and sat cross-legged on the ground.
"How long will it take you to make a new bone jar? What materials do you need? If you don't have enough materials, you can tell me directly."
Faced with Zheng Shu's brutal self-mutilation, Constantine took a long time to recover. Even if the Dragon King has super-fast self-healing ability, it is difficult to quickly repair limb-level injuries.
Somewhat unnaturally, Constantine took the flesh and blood from Zheng Shu's hand, estimated the other party's needs, and gave a more conservative time.
"Because there is no need to make a real bone bottle, it can be done in a quarter of an hour if it is just a simple appearance and aura cover. The materials do not need other messy things. Even if it is a real bone bottle, it only needs bronze to be refined. This is my brother's unique skill."
Speaking of the latter, Constantine proudly puffed up his chest, as if he was proud of his brother.
"Fifteen minutes? That's fine, hurry up, if it's later, the people above will probably come down."
Faced with Zheng Shu's urging, although Constantine was a little scared, he still mustered up the courage.
"You haven't told me what you want from us? Or, if I want you to help me save my brother, what do I have to pay?"
"Well..." Zheng Shu touched his chin with his hand and looked Constantine up and down carefully.
Facing Zheng Shu's gaze, Constantine felt that the non-existent hair on his back stood up. Such a gaze reminded him of those people who liked Long Yang's good relationship that he had seen before, and he couldn't help but shrink himself behind the bone bottle.
Seeing that the other party was about to cry again, Zheng Shu stopped teasing him: "First and foremost, I need you and your brother to give up the title of Bronze and Fire King." Seeing that Zheng Shu did not make those excessive demands, Constantine secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then he became embarrassed again. "If you want to take the title of Bronze and Fire King, take it. I can swear that I will never appear in front of other people in my life, but I am not sure whether my brother agrees. Devouring other dragon kings to gain supreme power has always been my brother's pursuit." "Don't worry about this." Zheng Shu gave Constantine a thumbs up and showed his white teeth. "With your brother's brother control, his biggest purpose of devouring other dragon kings is probably to give you a safe world. As long as you tell him your thoughts, and as long as I guarantee that you will no longer be affected by prophecy and fate after this, your brother will probably be very willing to agree to my proposal." Facing Zheng Shu's statement, Constantine was a little skeptical. In his opinion, his brother has always had the intention of competing for hegemony, so how could he give up his dream because of him. But now he had no choice but to believe what Zheng Shu said.
Watching Constantine who was reluctantly using the Word Spirit to melt a large piece of bronze and began to make a fake bone bottle, Zheng Shu shrugged silently.
It was the same sentence before. Although the power of these dragon kings was strong enough, their innate character flaws made them particularly easy to be controlled by others.
If it was an ordinary person, let alone a cunning existence like Angers, even those who had been beaten by society would not easily believe Zheng Shu's lies.
And Constantine was obviously far beyond ordinary people in intelligence and experience, but Zheng Shu could easily deceive him as long as he used his brother as a breakthrough point.
In other words, Zheng Shu really didn't have any bad intentions towards the two brothers, otherwise he would have sold the dragon king in front of him and counted money for him.
Calming down, Zheng Shu carefully watched Constantine's production process. He had to admit that these two bronze and fire kings had their own unique insights in alchemy. Just by shaping bronze, they could complete a bone bottle that Zheng Shu needed to consume a lot of precious alchemical materials to make.
Although the disadvantage of this technology is that it consumes a lot of bronze, making the bone bottle that was originally only the size of a human head become half a person's height. However, compared with the consumption of other dragon kings in making bone bottles, Zheng Shu estimated that the King of Bronze and the King of Fire were probably the twin dragon kings with the most "resurrection coins" among the four dragon kings.
"Perfect, your alchemy skills are really amazing." After carefully checking the fake made by Constantine, Zheng Shu couldn't help but admire it. Even if he knew in advance that it was a fake, he didn't find any flaws, and even the traces of aging looked very real.
"Is this all right?"
Hearing Constantine's question, Zheng Shu casually put the bone bottle into his Nibelungen.
"There is one more thing, I need you to give up your own power."
Facing Constantine's surprised face, Zheng Shu smiled.
