Chapter 079 – Mechanisms

The entrance was an old and broken stone door.
Spider webs and piles of dust were everywhere, but it was easy to spot traces of people that have been through the place, and once in awhile, it was still possible to spot a few pieces of rubbish discarded by adventurers. A few pathways that were hidden in the distance, appeared before Tang Tian and Bing. Tang Tian noticed that the pathways were all constructed with similar red rocks as the outside.
Bing’s face was solemn and heavy: “Follow me, but be careful.”
“Uncle Bing, you’ve been here before?” Tang Tian asked in a small voice. Although the inside was gloomy, he was not afraid at all.
Bing floated forward and said: “I’ve been here before. This used to be a military encampment of the army. Inside, there is a military weapons warehouse, so there are many mechanisms here.”
“Mechanisms?” Tang Tian’s eyes opened wide and looked around.
Yaya on his shoulders learnt Tang Tian’s face, puffing up its cheeks to force its small eyes to open wider, and looked around. It was unsure where Tang Tian kept his spirit nuclei, while in its hands was its bow and arrows.
“En?” Bing suddenly had a feeling, and snorted: “There are people behind us.”
“There are people?” Tang Tian’s eyes immediately showed vigilance.
The cold aura around Bing’s body rose up a few notches. He did not enter the pathways, and, without saying a word, went to the wall by the side, and seemingly pressed onto something. Suddenly, ka, ka, ka, the entire wall actually lifted up, revealing a bronze pathway.
Tang Tian swallowed his saliva. An entire pathway made of bronze, after so many years, did not have even a bit of rust. Pieces of delicate carvings on the bronze wall filled the entire passageway. Simple and unadorned bronze decorative designs, covered in dust due to the passage of time, slowly opened up in front of Tang Tian’s eyes. Small cups on the walls all started to light up, wriggling into the depth of the pathway.
“It is still working, it did not die off.”
Tang Tian could hear, although Uncle Bing was doing his utmost to maintain his calm tone of speech, the intonation change actually exposed his mood. It was not the way he thought it would come off as, calm.
Tang Tian walked into the bronze pathway, and the rock wall once again slowly dropped down, fitting tightly. What led Tang Tian to feel odd, was that the air in the pathway was extremely refreshing, and it was not muddy, like he thought it would be.
“Do not step on the floor.” Bing reminded Tang Tian.
“Do not step on the floor?” Tang Tian was stumped: “Then how do i walk?”
Yaya’s eyes lit up. With its small legs, it shot out like a bullet, rushing towards the walls. Pa, pa, pa, Tang Tian only saw a bullet, shooting from the left wall to the right wall and to the left again while moving forward, progressing very quickly.
“It seems that Yaya is smarter than you.” Bing dropped these words and continued floating in front.
Tang Tian’s eyes twitched, and without saying a word, he activated his light body arts, continuously using them to move forward. It was good that his light body arts were strong, and to him, it was too easy.
The pathway was much deeper than what Tang Tian thought, and he could feel that it was constantly extending downwards.
Tang Tian’s mind became more and more surprised. This bronze pathway was already more than 10 kilometres, and it was still going downwards. Such a surprising engineering measurement, how financially stable they were to build this!
“Careful, if the front did not lose its effectiveness, we will require identity authentication.” Bing’s words were heavy.
“What authentication?” Tang Tian asked.
“Emblem!” Bing said.
“Do we have it?” Tang Tian asked again.
“No.” Bing straightforwardly replied.
Tang Tian stood there in a daze: “Then what do we do?”
“Rush over.” Bing said.
“Rush… rush over?” Tang Tian thought he heard wrongly.
“That’s right!” Bing suddenly appeared beside Yaya, grabbing him, and appeared behind Tang Tian, one hand on his shoulders and said: “Godlike young man, we are depending on you!”
Tang Tian wanted to scold him, but red rays of light suddenly blossomed in front of his eyes.
“Wa, wa, wa!” Tang Tian did not care about anything else and dodged to the side.
A bronze arrow swept past his body, ‘Duo’, it was stabbed deeply into the wall, the bronze arrow’s feathers trembled with a hum. Seeing that, Tang Tian’s heart trembled, his face turning slightly pale. If he was stabbed by it, most likely, he would be stabbed through!
“Don’t be stunned! Keep rushing forward!” Bing urged him.
“You asshole!” Tang Tian cursed in anger, his leg suddenly releasing power, pouncing to the opposite wall, another bronze arrow shot by!
“Do not step on the floor!” Bing hid behind Tang Tian’s back, and loudly reminded.
Xiu, xiu, xiu!
Broken sounds, that can make a person’s hair stand, sounded out from deep within the pathway.
Tang Tian’s pupils withdrew. A few little bright dots appeared in his vision as he channeled power into his legs. Like an arrow leaving the bow, he pounced to the opposite wall.
Duo Duo Duo!
