Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Underground Gu’an City

After you were the last one to climb up onto the city wall, your first reaction was to exclaim, not to marvel!

While Dong Fangxiao and her two companions were astonished by the great craftsmanship of the ancients, you were shocked to find that the entire city was actually an Array!

In your eyes, what lay before you now was an ancient city with an area the size of the Forbidden City.

The air above the city was filled with a strange, unfamiliar aura, and the positions of the metal, wood, water, fire, and earth in the Five Elements within the city all harbored a very powerful energy.

Standing on the city wall, you looked out.

The city wall did not completely enclose the city; the remaining parts were all rock walls, which had been chiseled very neatly; the top of the city was also rock, shaped like an inverted bamboo hat.

Under the observation of the Sen Luo Eye, you discovered that there were two gates to the city. The gate where you were located was called the Vermilion Bird Gate, and directly opposite you was the Black Tortoise Gate, which was connected to the Imperial Palace!

Seeing this, you couldn’t help but sigh, "So this is a miniature version of Chang’an City!"

"Hey, hey, look, there are Terracotta Warriors over there!"

Nong Xue Le pointed towards the city battlement not far away. When you all turned to look, you found that there were two rows of Terracotta Warriors standing on the city wall.

These Terracotta Warriors looked somewhat similar to The first emperor’s Terracotta Army, as they were all colored. At first glance, they even bore a resemblance to real people.

"I didn’t expect to see the Terracotta Warriors from such a close distance."

While speaking, Nong Xue Le was about to stretch her hand out to touch them, but you quickly pulled her aside.

"Don’t touch!"

You looked at Nong Xue Le sternly, and also warned Wu Qiyi and Dong Fangxiao beside you, "These Terracotta Warriors are not mere decorations; their presence has a special significance."

As you said this, you turned your head back to look into the city, and saw that there were many more human figurines on the streets of the city. They were all dressed in civilian clothes from the Tang Dynasty, with different expressions and statuses.

You continued, "After we go down, everyone must remember, no matter what you see, do not touch it. If I’m not mistaken, this city is an Array, and once the Array is activated, these human figurines and Terracotta Warriors could come to life, and by then, we won’t be thinking about leaving anymore."

"These things will come to life?" Dong Fangxiao obviously didn’t believe it, but she wasn’t foolish enough to actually touch one to confirm her suspicions with action.

You turned your gaze towards the city tower, where you spotted a staircase leading down from the city wall, and immediately suggested to the three women beside you, "Let’s go down; this must just be the surface, there’s certainly an Underground palace below."

"Ah? There’s an Underground palace?" Nong Xue Le rubbed her feet, "Why do I feel like we’re not on a tomb expedition but rather on a mountain hike?"

"Come on, let’s move, it’s not that easy to make money these days," Dong Fangxiao gently patted Nong Xue Le on the shoulder, smiling softly.

Nong Xue Le pouted, shaking her head and following Wu Qiyi’s pace.

When your first foot stepped onto the green bricks inside the city after descending the stairs, a strange sensation suddenly surged through you!

Immediately after, you suddenly felt as though you were being watched!

You looked up at your surroundings but saw no trace of living people.

Just as you were about to activate the Sen Luo Eye, Dong Fangxiao behind you suddenly let out a low shout, "Who’s there? Come out!"

You swiftly turned your head to look towards an alleyway to the left front, and at that moment, you saw a figure swiftly flitting by.

The fleeting speed of that figure had surpassed the tracking speed of the human eye. You quickly stopped Dong Fangxiao, who wanted to chase after it, and said in a low voice, "It seems they have arrived here before us."

"Who?"

Compared to before, Dong Fangxiao now seemed like an arrow drawn on a bow, her entire demeanor becoming sharp.

"Those are the six People of Yamato I told you about last night, not five."

"People of Yamato?" Dong Fangxiao snorted coldly, "Bring one, kill one. Bring two, bury a pair!"

"All five of them are supposed to have Special Abilities, we can’t underestimate them. The figure just now was Little Tian, his distinctive feature is speed, possibly beyond the speed of sound, meaning, not only can our naked eyes not capture his speed, even bullets wouldn’t catch up to him."

Dong Fangxiao appeared unfazed by your words, licking her still moist lips: "That makes the game more interesting, doesn’t it? Otherwise, if they’re all standing there stupidly, what’s the difference between that and killing zombies?"

Wu Qiyi, who had not said much, suddenly spoke up, "Mu Yun, do you hear any sound?"

"Sound?"

"Yes." Wu Qiyi nodded, pointing in the direction of the Imperial Palace, "It’s coming from over there, it feels like someone is calling me."

Hearing what Wu Qiyi said, you laughed and responded, "That’s right, this means we’ve come to the right place."

As you spoke, the Sen Luo Curse Mark slowly appeared in your pupils and your originally calm complexion became sharp, "Although I don’t know what the Saintess and her group’s purpose is, since they have already come here, we must make sure they all stay here!"

Following the formation you had originally arranged, you moved slowly toward the Imperial Palace.

At this moment, none of you were in the mood to admire the surrounding buildings or the statues of people on the road, moving forward with a synchronized pace.

"Wait!"

Just as the doors of the Imperial Palace came into view, you suddenly stopped, stepping to the left and fully shielding Wu Qiyi behind you.

Seeing your move, Dong Fangxiao immediately set up her rifle and scanned the surroundings.

"Oh, quite vigilant, aren’t we? You’ve seen right through the trap I set up."

At that moment, the Saintess’s slightly sharp voice came from an alley ahead.

"The Saintess, huh? I didn’t expect to meet you in a place like this." You hummed coldly and continued, "What, too afraid to come out and greet an old friend?"

"I’m afraid I might scare you all away if I do come out."

"Hmph, even if you came out naked and danced a sparkler dance, I wouldn’t be the slightest bit surprised."

The Saintess hummed coldly, "Slick-tongued, even when death is upon you."

At that moment, a tall figure emerged from the alley, and you couldn’t help but widen your eyes in shock!

A humanoid monster about three or four meters tall suddenly appeared, with the Saintess, dressed as a witch, sitting shockingly on its shoulder!

"A God Formula?" you asked tentatively.

"It seems you’ve also dabbled in our noble Yamato culture," she replied.

"Pah! Shitty stuff like that, and you still dare to call it noble!"

Dong Fangxiao, who seemed to have no regard for anything from Yamato, immediately spat ungracefully.

"You lowly creature..."

"Bang!"

The Saintess had barely spoken when Dong Fangxiao raised her rifle and fired a shot directly at her forehead!

However, at that moment, what should have been a lethal shot from Dong Fangxiao was effortlessly dodged by the Saintess with a slight tilt of her body!

"You insignificant thing, you are seeking death!"

With a slight lift of her hand, another humanoid monster emerged from an alley behind you!

"So quick to resort to violence? Not going to sit down for a chat?"

You, with an air of assurance, smiled what you thought was a dashing smile.

"Quick battle, quick decision, I need to squash you rats first so that I can better complete my mission!"

"Is that so? Well then, it looks like I don’t need to hold back anymore."

With that, you slowly raised your right hand, with your middle and index fingers positioned together, and then, with a "snap," you snapped your fingers!
