Chapter 784: Chapter 784: City (Shamelessly Asking for Monthly Tickets)

Although the forest was very dense, it wasn’t large, and soon you all emerged from the woods, only to find yourselves face to face with a city wall!

"Oh... my God!" Zhang Dadong immediately exclaimed in shock.

"Am I seeing this right?" Wang Chongyang was equally surprised, his mouth wide open in astonishment.

This was indeed a city wall, and at that moment you were standing right in front of its main gate, with two characters hanging high on the city tower—Xianyang!

"Is this the ancient city of Xianyang?"

Ju Hua’s voice turned shrill with surprise. After all, he lived in a coastal city and had never been to Chang’an before. To save time, they had headed straight for the Qinling Mountains as soon as they got off the plane, so he had never seen Chang’an’s ancient city walls. The sight of such a magnificent ancient structure left him utterly dumbfounded.

"Hey, why do I feel like the height of these walls of Xianyang City seems to be taller than those of Chang’an’s ancient walls?" Zhang Dadong turned to look at Wang Chongyang.

At that moment, Wang Chongyang was busy filming with his camera, "Hmm, yes, definitely taller than the ones in Chang’an, and as for the width, we’ll only know once we get up there."

The two men were about to stride forward without a thought for discipline.

Seeing this, Cao Shan hurriedly called out to them, "Wait a minute, you two!"

They stopped in their tracks and turned, looking at Cao Shan with puzzled expressions.

"This is the First Emperor’s Mausoleum; aren’t you afraid of triggering some mechanism by barging in recklessly?"

During the gap in Cao Shan’s speech, Sun Lin added, "This place is densely wooded, yet there’s not a single insect, bird, or beast to be seen. There must be something strange going on. It’s better to be cautious."

Wang Chongyang and Zhang Dadong exchanged looks and then sheepishly nodded their heads in agreement.

Now, the old city of Chang’an, also known as the world-famous Ming Dynasty ancient city, has been well preserved after years of restoration, but when compared to this one, it lacked a certain grandeur; on scale alone, it couldn’t compete.

The group slowly approached the city gate and stood silently in front of the moat, which was at least twenty meters wide.

Yang Runzhang said to Sun Lin, "Professor Sun, isn’t this moat a bit too wide? I remember that a good city moat is about ten meters wide."

Sun Lin nodded, "Indeed, such a wide moat would not be excessive even for the capital city."

Cao Shan gestured with a very special hand signal and nodded, "This city wall has been built to the exact scale of Xianyang City. It seems that this grand and colossal city wall before us is indeed the First Emperor’s Mausoleum."

Seeing the joy on everyone’s faces, and some even taking out their phones to take constant photos, Sun Lin said again, "Let’s not get too excited. If this really is the First Emperor’s Mausoleum, then its level of theft protection must be unparalleled. In other words, just a few of us might never be able to leave if we enter."

Sun Lin and Cao Shan’s students looked at each other, and Zi Qian laughed, "If we could see Qin Shi Huang’s appearance with our own eyes, even death would be worth it."

"In that case, let’s go over there."

Across the moat, right in front of the city gate, there was a stone bridge, and on either side of the bridge stood stone statues as large as elephants. At first glance, these statues looked like tigers, but they had two sharp, incredibly long tusks.

"Are these saber-toothed tigers?"

Zi Qian looked at the stone statues in front of him and asked Cao Shan, who was beside him.

Cao Shan nodded, "They should be. Unexpectedly, the Qin people also knew of their existence. Does it mean that saber-toothed tigers still existed during the Spring and Autumn Period?"

"These statues are so lifelike, come on, take a picture of me." Zhang Dadong ran over to one of the statues and asked Wang Chongyang to take a photo of him.

After Wang Chongyang took one photo, Zhang Dadong felt it wasn’t enough; he immediately climbed up and actually sat on the neck of the saber-toothed tiger, grinning at Wang Chongyang and saying, "Take another one, this time make me look more powerful."

"Get down from there!"

You glanced at Zhang Dadong and called out urgently.

"Right now, right now, just take a picture."

At that moment, you suddenly notice that the eyes of the saber-toothed tiger stone statue moved slightly.

"Not good!"

With no time to think, you shout to everyone, "Hurry, into the city!"

Not caring about the reaction behind you, you and Zhao’er start running, with Wu Qiyi and Xi Yu close behind.

Your warning made Zi Qian also turn his head towards the stone statue of the saber-toothed tiger under Zhang Dadong and he immediately leaped up, exclaiming, "The stone statue has come alive!"

As soon as Zi Qian’s words fell, Stone Zhang Dadong let out a scream, tumbling down from the back of the statue.

This guy’s luck was hard enough that he didn’t die from the fall; he immediately jumped up and bolted.

"Run, run fast, keep up with Mu Yun’s pace!"

Sun Lin reacted quickly; he knew that in this small team, you were the key.

When you reached the middle of the moat, both stone statues of the saber-toothed tigers had awakened. They leaped off their pedestals, mouths full of tusks, and lunged straight at you!

"We’re going to die, we’re going to die, we can’t outrun them with our two legs against their four!"

Ju Hua screamed this as he surpassed Sun Lin and the others, rushing to your side at a speed of seven seconds per hundred meters.

"Little Yunyun, think of something quick, the city gates aren’t open yet."

That damn Ju Hua!

In his blunder, he had blurted out your nickname.

The city gate was in sight, and fearing more mechanisms ahead, you skidded to a halt and turned abruptly to look at Sun Lin and the others racing towards you.

The two stone statues of saber-toothed tigers didn’t have any particular features, except for their eyes, which were shockingly blood-red!

"Sen Luo Eye, activate!"

Through the Sen Luo Eye, your vision pierced directly through the two stone statues of saber-toothed tigers, and you quickly found out that the reason they could move and run was because they were fitted with a mechanical device inside, and they weren’t made entirely of stone.

Moreover, their body structure was quite unique; although they appeared to be made of stone on the outside, this wasn’t the case. Overall, the main components of the two stone statues of saber-toothed tigers were sand!

This sand was bound together, particularly the outer layer which was extremely compacted, therefore, to the naked eye, they looked no different from rocks.

The energy driving them was contained in the two red Dan Medicines located at the position of their hearts, which held vast amounts of Earth Element energy.

Now that the drive mechanism of the saber-toothed tigers was understood, solving the problem became much simpler.

"Everybody clear out!"

With a roar, four brown vermillion talismans shot out from your pocket. Sun Lin and the others hurriedly threw themselves to one side, watching as the four brown vermillion talismans stuck to the eye sockets of the two saber-toothed tigers.

Without waiting for their reaction, you issued a low shout, "All Forms of Sen Luo, unveil!"

The stone statue saber-toothed tigers, which had been pouncing forward, suddenly came to a halt. Then, the four brown vermillion talismans turned into the same color as the exterior of the stone statues and merged into one with them.
