Chapter 786: Chapter 786: I Follow You (Liang Xin Five More Updates)_1

You also noticed a fully armored patrol team made up of terracotta soldiers in mysterious armor slowly heading towards you.

Seeing these soldiers, you furrowed your brow and said, "What’s going on? How did these terracotta soldiers come to life? Did someone trigger a mechanism?"

Of course, you had no time to consider this at the moment. Although the soldiers seemed slow, there were many of them, and if you were surrounded, you’d be done for.

"That street on the left, quick, run at full speed!"

Turning around to sit on the back of the stone statue of a saber-toothed tiger, the two stone statues of saber-toothed tigers took the lead and sprinted towards the street on the left that was momentarily free of soldiers.

There were relatively fewer terracotta figures on this street, so your run was not much hindered.

While running at high speed, Zhang Dadong suddenly stumbled and shoved Wang Chongyang next to him, who in turn knocked over a terracotta soldier beside him.

There was a crisp "ping" as the soldier shattered to pieces.

"Sorry, sorry, I really didn’t mean it!"

Wang Chongyang scrambled to his feet and caught up with Zhang Dadong’s pace.

At that moment, you happened to look back, and your pupils suddenly constricted!

Because, you discovered that after the terracotta soldier shattered, its outer layer peeled off, revealing a mummified corpse inside!

Could it be that all the assorted terracotta figures in Xianyang City were made from living people!?

Xianyang City was vast, but that was its overall size. After running straight towards the city center for about ten minutes, the group finally collapsed, panting and exhausted, on a square.

"No... no... no more, eh! I can’t run anymore!" Zhang Dadong lay on the ground like a dead dog, even burping up stomach acid while he spoke.

Wang Chongyang was even more dramatic, simply lying on the ground playing dead. If it weren’t for his chest rising and falling dramatically and his heavy breathing, no one would doubt that he had kicked the bucket.

Zi Qian panted and said to you, "Brother Li, where are we now?"

You didn’t speak but looked up towards the front, which was behind everyone else.

When everyone turned around, their eyes widened, and they were dumbstruck!

A palace city was floating dozens of meters above the ground without any support!

"I... I’m not seeing things, am I?" Yang Runzhang rubbed his eyes hard.

"Is it a mirage?" Ju Hua turned her head to ask Sun Lin.

Sun Lin shook his head, his face showing an inexplicable delight, "No, absolutely not, it must be real!"

Sitting on the back of the stone statue of a saber-toothed tiger, Wu Qiyi similarly looked up at the palace in the sky and said softly, "They say the ancient Hanging Gardens of Babylon are one of the Seven Wonders of the World, but this palace in the sky seems several notches less impressive."

Zhao’er’s voice suddenly came from behind you: "Yun, don’t go up."

You couldn’t help but be taken aback, not expecting Zhao’er to issue a warning under such circumstances.

You slowly stood up on the plaza you were in, shaped like a pyramid. Too preoccupied to notice when you ran up, it was only now that you realized it was a high platform, centrally located within Xianyang City.

Looking around, the vastness of Xianyang City was impressive with its orderly beauty, but such sights were not the elements you were seeking on this journey.

Raising your head to look at the Palace on the Sky floating before you, you secretly clenched your fists tightly!

"Zhao’er, for you, and for our future, I must go up there," you said.

Zhao’er paused for a moment, then added, "I will follow you."

Xi Yu beside you was surprised by Zhao’er’s reaction, never imagining Zhao’er could respond to you in such a way.

Could it be that Zhao’er’s consciousness had awakened?

But upon looking at Zhao’er again, you noticed she had returned to her previous, dazed state.

Strange, this was so strange.

Xi Yu looked at Wu Qiyi in front of her, who had been indifferent throughout. Her attention was not on Zhao’er but was turned to you, saying, "Be careful, both above and behind, always be extra vigilant."

Wu Qiyi’s words inadvertently made your eyebrows twitch, and the Sen Luo Eye in your pupils quickly flickered, scanning all directions!

Afterward, the corners of your mouth slightly curled up, revealing a faint smile.

You jumped off the back of the Stone Statue of a Saber-toothed Tiger and said to everyone, "Now is the time to decide. I must tell you in advance that the Palace City above is dangerous, extremely dangerous. Once we go up, I am not confident I can ensure everyone’s safety, as I myself will be in peril."

In truth, from an archaeological standpoint, the entire Xianyang City already had immense research value. The city alone was enough to keep Sun Lin and Cao Shan busy for a lifetime.

However, people are inevitably greedy. Before coming here, if they could have found a terracotta warrior like those outside, they would have been overjoyed for a whole year without sleep; but now, having seen so many, they got used to it. Their greatest hope at present was to see the real face of the First Emperor!

At that moment, someone suddenly raised their hand, "I... I won’t go. I’d rather stay here. I’m not particularly interested in the First Emperor. As long as I can complete this project, hand in my thesis, and graduate smoothly, that’s enough for me."

The speaker was Ke Min. As a girl, everyone could understand her feelings. After all, she had been scared witless by the moving stone statues of the saber-toothed tigers and the mass of mobile terracotta warriors, and there was now no need for her to risk her life further.

Ke Min decided not to go, and Yang Runzhang also raised his hand, "I won’t go either. Although I regret not being able to see the real face of the First Emperor, I know that if I don’t stay and protect Minmin, the outcome won’t just be regret but a choice to end my own life. For me, Minmin is everything."

Yang Runzhang’s words inspired involuntary respect even from a spoiled young master like Zhang Dadong.

He smiled at Yang Runzhang and Ke Min, "Don’t worry, I will make sure to capture the real face of the First Emperor with my camera and camcorder. Then I’ll project it in holographic imagery for you two, the newlyweds, to be the first to see!"

The term "newlyweds" made Yang Runzhang and Ke Min blush.

"I, I, I won’t go either," Ju Hua said somewhat timidly, "First, I have severe acrophobia. I was already scared half to death on the plane. I don’t know how to get up there, but I’m certain it would absolutely terrify me. Plus, I’m not keen on the First Emperor. I’m actually more interested in that terracotta warrior we saw earlier."

You shook your head at Ju Hua, "Don’t go near the terracotta warriors. I will set up an Array here in a moment, and leave two Stone Statues of Saber-toothed Tigers to ensure your safety. Once you leave, I take no responsibility."
