If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon

Chapter 622 Their Despair

The word Nibelungen comes from German and refers to the people living in Niflheim, the "land of fog" in Norse mythology. It is also called "the country of the dead" in Norse mythology, and it is closely connected to the land of the underworld , since there is no clear boundary with the underworld, only the souls of the dead will reverberate in this land. The title of "Land of the Dead" is worthy of the name.

Su Xiaoqiang has been in contact with Norse mythology, but she doesn't understand it deeply, but no matter how shallow theology is, she can tell that this is not a good place. As for the name of the King of Bronze and Fire, she has heard of it. Yu Linnian popularized it for her I learned about it when I was an introduction to the history of the dragon family "Genealogy of the Dragon Family".

The four great monarchs hidden in the depths of history, the noble first-generation species, the masters of earth fire and geomantic omen, and more titles cannot describe their greatness. The text of history says that human beings learned fire, not because of the flames brought by lightning strikes , but the monarch named Norton gave mankind the knowledge of "fire", so mankind learned to drill wood to make fire and awakened the first line of bronze and fire speech spirits.

The Sahara desert where the oasis turned into dust in an instant, Attila's destruction of Western Rome, the Roman fire in 64 AD, and the mysterious drying up of Lop Nur, the sea of ​​death. King's shadow.

It is a horizontal machine that spans tens of millions of years. The majestic historical atmosphere makes his silhouette so huge and awe-inspiring. People who face him are like facing the entire history of mankind, with a sense of heaviness and oppression Feeling like mountains and seas are overwhelmed, but even so, the mixed races took slaughtering him as their lifelong goal, and they hunted him down century after century, until today everything seems to have finally come to an end.

"This is the Nibelungen, the Lord of Bronze and Fire." The man whispered, as if reciting a raving in a nightmare. Anyone who heard it would be filled with pain or hatred, and his face would be distorted and he would hug his knees tightly or resentment He stared resentfully at the man who brought up the past again.

But so what, the man didn't shut up because of the fear of those sights, he just told the most straightforward and unadorned reality, the plight of everyone in this room and in this entire castle-like villa.

"What about the mixed races? Don't the mixed races care?" After letting go of the bound man, Su Xiaoqiang's first reaction on the sofa asked this common sense question. In general, she also probably knows the true appearance of this world.

No matter how scary and terrifying the background of the world is, the real world is still dominated by humans and hybrids. The pure-blooded noble dragons are not hunters, but humans are the real hunters. The resurrection of such a king should be provoked immediately An ant colony is usually hunted by a hybrid, right?
Twisting his sore arm, he sat back on the sofa again. After seeing Su Xiaoqiang's gaze, he thought about it and sat on the ground beside the sofa. There's nothing wrong with them at this stage anyway.

But after hearing the question Su Xiaoqiang subconsciously asked, the man looked at her with a particularly strange look, but suddenly he sobbed twice in his throat and couldn't say anything, he lowered his head so that Su Xiaoqiang could not see his face clearly (the reason for the beard and hair is also unclear).

"It's all dead, no matter if it's a human or a mixed race, they all died in the war. Those monsters are simply unstoppable. Even humans have their dark hands, responding inside and outside, internal and external troubles How could it be an opponent under the circumstances."

"It's over?" Su Xiaoqiang's face tightened suddenly, but she suddenly relaxed again - she was reminding herself that although she didn't know what was going on, this place should be just an illusion. In her cognition, the world is still the same world, singing and dancing, It's peaceful, and at most there are mixed races running around the world to slaughter dragons and grab alchemy items. How could it be possible that the world will end when I wake up.

Unless she has "traversed" like the heroines in those tanmei novel platforms, but she is not a stupid girl with novels in her head, and she doesn't believe in those things at all.

Quietly, she pulled her arm again, but she still didn't feel any pain. I heard that people don't feel pain in a dream. Could it be that she was really dreaming?Before the dream, she was still in the examination room of the 3E exam, so this belongs to her. Vision?

Lin Nian's voice still lingers in her mind. She is clear about the situation, reaction, and composition of the spirit vision, but she is still not sure whether it is the so-called spirit vision or something worse. If this is the spirit vision Doesn't that mean that she is also a pure "hybrid" just like Lin Nian?
The mind is chaotic, and it is impossible not to be chaotic. Anyone who is in Su Xiaoqiang's situation will be chaotic. Compared with Su Xiaoqiang, he is even calmer now, and he can restrain his impetuous emotions and try his best to straighten out the current situation one by one. ——However, if Lin Nian was here, the whole room would have been lined up with guns held to their heads to answer his questions one by one. After all, it was still a question of the strength of the wrist.

"How's it going outside now?" Su Xiaoqiang asked after considering his words.

"Outside? Where do you mean the outside?" The man surprisingly didn't dig into the various bizarre reactions on Su Xiaoqiang's body. It looks more "angry".

Although he still had a strong smell of decay, he still seemed relatively normal in his conversation. At least he was much better than the Indian who had been pinned to the ground crying and crying bitterly.

"It's just outside the house." Su Xiaoqiang didn't quite understand what the man meant, looked around and asked hesitantly, "Why do you want to hide in such a place?"

"Because if we don't hide here, we will really die." The man stared at Su Xiaoqiang for a while and realized that the other party's question was serious, and bowed his head with a wry smile.Now he really understands that this girl really doesn't know her own situation, and she doesn't even seem to know what kind of environment she is in, so she asks such stupid words.

"What's outside the house?" Su Xiaoqiang keenly understood the meaning of this sentence, and in addition, he could only see from the wooden strips on the sealed windows of this huge living room that these people were not hiding here. Like a beggar, he surrendered himself to the newspaper group to keep warm, but he had to curl up in this place as a last resort. A refuge?It was as close to the truth as she could blurt out.

Since this place may be a refuge, it is natural to avoid some kind of "disaster". In addition, the other party said words similar to "King of Bronze and Fire" and "Nibelungen", even if the man has not answered, Su Xiaoqiang The lower the lower the lower, the somewhat cold heart also roughly guessed the answer.

"Deadpool." The man replied.

Su Xiaoqiang took a deep breath, the stench of copper in her mouth made her sneezed again, why did she still have such a wonderful irritating feeling when she didn't feel any pain? She is no stranger to the deadpool mentioned by men, the Pearl Tower incident She can still vividly remember the process, it was a nightmare that she will never forget in her whole life.

Those pale dead cheeks, and the power strong enough to tear human limbs into pieces, the monster named Deadpool has long been the source of fear in her heart that she doesn't want to touch.If there is anything she fears the most when she comes into contact with Kassel College, it is undoubtedly those "deadpools". Even if Lin Nian and Professor Guderian explained that deadpools are not such a common and crowded creature, she still still Full of fear of this monster.

Seeing the refusal and fear in Su Xiaoqiang's eyes, the man shook his head and heaved a sigh of relief. It seems that the girl generally knows things like common sense, otherwise there are too many things to explain, and he wants to talk for a while It may not be enough.

"How long have you been trapped here?" Su Xiaoqiang simply didn't ask the man why no one came to rescue them. She already understood from the previous conversation. It seems that the background of this dream is the end of the world?When the world is over, of course there will be no rescuers. Trapped in a room by a group of dead servants is tantamount to waiting to die. No wonder there is so much despair here.

The man didn't answer Su Xiaoqiang's question, and pointed to a wall in the distance. Su Xiaoqiang looked up and saw scratches on the wall one after another. They should be engraved to record time. Someone used a blunt instrument to cut the wallpaper on the wall. What was left was four vertical lines interspersed by one horizontal line to form a group representing five days, and this engraving... took up the entire wall!
Su Xiaoqiang was a little shocked, but he counted numbly. There were a total of 400 sets of scratches. If one set of scratches counted as 5 days, an appalling number of despair was born.

5 years.

This group of people has been trapped here for 5 full years.

"What have you been eating and drinking all these years?" Su Xiaoqiang asked a rational question. Although there are not many people here, if you want to supply five years of food rations, unless there is a basement full of food, and the food stored is still there. It must be concentrated munitions, so that it can be reasonable.

"You are entering the Nibelungen for the first time, right? We don't need to eat. Everything in the Nibelungen is 'dead'. Naturally, 'dead people' don't need food, even excretion." The man said, " There may have been fights over food during the formation of the Nibelungen, but later we discovered that we don’t need food to survive. We won’t die, but our bodies will only get closer 'dead'."

He pulled back his shirt to reveal his skinny abdomen, and Su Xiaoqiang couldn't help turning his head to avoid the shocking scene.

"If we are not really killed here, maybe we can wait until the day we become dry skeletons." The man said with a miserable smile, his eyes were full of pain and helplessness.

No wonder the people in the room were not surprised by Su Xiaoqiang's arrival. To them, she was just another poor person who strayed into the Bronze Tree Heinebelungen. Finding this refuge was her only luck and misfortune. One day, the clothes on her body will rot and become half-clothed, and the body that was originally desired will also rot and shrink, turning into a skinny monster, no different from them, it's only a matter of time.

"Haven't you thought about running away?" Su Xiaoqiang shuddered slightly, and asked in a low voice, hugging her knees on the sofa.

"We can't escape. Outside is the maze of the sea of ​​bronze trees. The maze is full of ferocious Deadpool. Some people broke down and rushed out, but they were killed by the things in the sea of ​​bronze trees before they could escape 100 meters away." The man Said quietly.

"Bronze tree sea. So we are in a forest?" Su Xiaoqiang paused. How could such a mansion (by visual inspection from the living room) be built in the bronze tree sea?

But when she met the man's gaze, she suddenly realized that she had a stupid question. The man had already said what this place was.

Nibelungen, the dwelling place of the Lord of Bronze and Fire.

It is not that there is a sea of ​​trees before houses, but a sea of ​​trees before houses. The dragon king cast a whole majestic dark forest made of bronze trees between the roaring world, countless dead waiters and The corpse guard wandered in the bronze forest, and the center of the sea of ​​trees was naturally the Dragon King's bedroom, the palace made of bronze——White Emperor City.

"No one can leave the Nibelungen without the permission of the monster in the Bronze City. No one can come to rescue us. People here have given up hope." The man said.

"But you are not dead either." Su Xiaoqiang whispered.

"." The man opened his mouth, then closed it, revealing a miserable smile.

"How did you get here or where was it originally?" Su Xiaoqiang asked in a low voice, she didn't mind asking more questions even if the dream wasn't over.

She had a premonition that compared to the man and these poor people trapped in this illusion called "Nibelungen", she was just a passerby who came here, and she was not worried that she would be left here as well. She will leave. And soon this comes from an unfounded but extremely certain premonition in the back of my mind. If it is really like a dream, the continuation and development of the dream can be determined.

"Everyone used to know this place, the north bank of the Yangtze River, Qutang Gorge in Fengjie County of the Three Gorges. The gate to enter the Three Gorges." The man said, "I traveled here with my girlfriend five years ago until we stood on the scenic spot of the Kuimen Beacon Fortress and saw the water. It was too late when the body of the 'dragon' floated up, his body blocked the wide river area, and the cruise ship hit his broken right wing and was sunk by a bone spur. Then he came alive and climbed towards the mountain peak, he Standing on the highest point of the Three Gorges, we flapped our wings and roared, shaking the peaks of the canyon and causing water tsunami and mudslides. My girlfriend and I fainted. When we woke up, we found that we were already in the Nibelungen. Slowly find here and hide in with other survivors."

"Then your girlfriend?" Just as Su Xiaoqiang opened her mouth, she saw the man's begging eyes, as if she was unwilling to bring up this question, and she didn't continue to ask in a depressed mood.

"This room was originally overcrowded." The man only said one sentence, and finally leaned on the sofa limply and stared at the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking.

In the dead silence, Su Xiaoqiang was silent for a long time before asking, "Are you sure that the corpse that got up from the Yangtze River is the 'Dragon'? Or is it the 'Dragon King'?"

"I don't know anything more terrifying than that horrible corpse. It is definitely the corpse of the Dragon King. For some reason, he was resurrected. All the horrible corpses in the world have been resurrected. At first It was Tokyo, Japan, then Shanghai and California, and then the Dragon Kings awakened in the interior. They brought countless monsters and natural disasters. It was the end of the world. We didn't see it with our own eyes but we were in the house I heard everything broadcast on my radio, terrible battles broke out all over the world, mixed races, human beings were at a disadvantage, each day was darker than the previous, and the news continued."

"Later, when everyone in the room was afraid to turn on the radio, but had to turn it on to understand the information released by the mixed race, the Nibelungen was completely formed, and we could no longer receive signals from outside." The man read Glancing at some fragments of the radio on the floor in the center of the living room, he said, "Many people are playing the last recorded broadcast in a loop. But it seems that people outside probably think this is just an ordinary bronze forest. They The Nibelungen will not be found. No one can save us."

More and more negative, the despair in the man is about to overflow again, Su Xiaoqiang doesn't know what to say to comfort him, and her current thinking is not on how to relieve the man's despair, because when she hears the words Three Gorges, Qutang Gorge and Dragon King Suddenly, some things were connected in my mind.

Lin Nian said that the goal of the establishment of the secret party is to devote itself to finding the four great monarchs and more ancient and powerful dragons. The king of bronze and or is one of the four great monarchs. , These mortal enemies cannot be killed. Every death will hide in a hidden corner of the world waiting for recovery. According to the man's words, Qutang Gorge is the place where the king of bronze and fire hides his corpse?
Her spirit slowly tensed up, because even she, who was new to the secret party, understood the meaning and value of this news. If this is true, if everything in this dream is true, after waking up, she will pass this news If it is conveyed to Lin Nian, wouldn't it be possible to find the dragon corpse one step ahead of time and deal with this terrifying enemy?

This.
Can this still be called spiritual vision?
Su Xiaoqiang's mind became more active, but the backlog of fear and worry also increased. I'm afraid I'm not really dreaming, am I?But if this information is true, doesn't it mean that he has foreseen the future?
She shook her head to get the weird and frightening thoughts out of her mind, and when she wanted to continue asking about Kassel College and Lin Nian, a hiss suddenly interrupted what she was thinking. What was that like? This kind of cry is full of purity like a baby crying, and the vibration resonates in the cranial cavity, creating an ethereal feeling. Finally, what extends to the back is the creepy fear crawling to the back of the head and the top of the head. The fear of screaming biological instinct !

The hissing sound was not one, but one after another, surrounding and penetrating into the living room. In an instant, several survivors in the whole room fell to the ground and hugged their heads as if they were struck by lightning. Standing up on the sofa, I heard that small voice that seemed to be whispering.

"So early why so early"

"They . come and come."

"They want flesh. My flesh."

"Don't die I don't want to die I've lived for so long. I don't want to die"

On the side of the sofa, the man's face was also pale, and his throat couldn't help making a swallowing movement, but there was actually no saliva for him to swallow in the dry mouth like straw paper, which was an expression of fear.

"It shouldn't be so early. It shouldn't be so early." Even Su Xiaoqiang, who was the most normal in the room, fell into panic now, and suddenly he turned his head and looked at the person who was pressed down by several people as if remembering something. In the corner was the crazy man who stepped on the radio before, and the man's face was covered with blood from scratches, which dripped onto the floor and seeped into the floor.

Su Xiaoqiang seemed to be aware of it, and looked at the window that was sealed by wooden strips. Under such a situation where everyone was overwhelmed by despair, she surged up the courage to cross the sofa and approach the window. It was not difficult I found a faint gap from the place where the wooden strips were put together (perhaps these people specially stayed to observe), and after squinting out, the cold air spread from her back to her whole body in an instant.

It was a black and distorted forest. Under the night, every giant bronze tree was like a standing giant. The traces of vines on the trees soared and formed different "words", and there were faint words between the "words". The shapes of human faces were pieced together, and those faces had their eyes closed, as if they were sleeping and guarding the land of the land of the dead.

In the dark sea of ​​bronze trees, figures came out one after another. Su Xiaoqiang knew that those were not real "people", because their faces were all pale, and their exposed hands were slender and long. Above their heads, in the shadows, the gleam that illuminated the pale cheeks came from the cold golden pupils like fireflies.

Deadpool, follower of pure-blooded dragons, a walking dead hungry for flesh and power.

"It's you, your blood attracted them! It's you!" A woman in the crowd yelled hysterically, pointing at the man whose hands and feet were trapped. The distorted face is something that Su Xiaoqiang has seen in human beings. The most tense form of hatred.

"Throw him out! He attracted them, let him satisfy them!" The woman repeatedly pointed at the Indian man and growled vigorously, but before getting the approval of others, the man beside Su Xiaoqiang suddenly stood up , rushed over and slapped the woman on the cheek, dragging her clothes to lift up the scrawny body.Their bodies are all the same shriveled, one person pulling up the other is like the wind blowing a reed and crushing another reed, so light and light, but right now they are full of anger and panic like a mountain.

The man stared at the crazy woman like an angry beast. His attitude and behavior did not arouse panic and stop the people around him, but calmed down everyone at once, but the fear lingered. The man put it down gently The anger dissipated, leaving only the trembling and frightened woman, who turned and walked towards the sofa.

Su Xiaoqiang by the window didn't know what the man was going to do for a while, but she immediately turned around to face him and raised her arms slightly to guard against him, exercising the well-proportioned muscles under her fair skin to tighten, if the man offends As soon as she moves, she will use the Bajiquan with a little fire to bring this weak guy down - maybe she, a normal person full of flesh and blood and full of energy, is the strongest unit in this room.

But the man didn't care about Su Xiaoqiang, he was now full of negative emotions, his fingers and legs were trembling, he was already familiar with this kind of fear that he was used to, for five years like a day, but he still stopped in front of the fear He kept hunched over like a poor man drinking muddy water, drowning in fear, struggling in drowning.

He ignored Su Xiaoqiang, who was filled with hostility and vigilance, bent down and stood in front of the sofa where the girl slept, and lifted the surface of the sofa. There was actually a small space inside the sofa. When Su Xiaoqiang saw the things inside, his heart suddenly jumped. Once tight, the other party took it out before taking any action.

Three revolvers, different styles, different colors, and different details, but there was no doubt that they were three real guns, with scattered yellow bullets all around them.

"Are you going to fight back? Can I help?" Seeing that the man did not point the gun at anyone, and the people in the room were not shocked by the guns, he naturally knew that these revolvers were not used to kill each other. .

She was just an ordinary girl. After experiencing some unavoidable things, the first reaction she made in this situation was to help the enemy.

But at the same time the man took out the three guns, everyone in the room also stood up. There was no anger but trembling with fear, but in an agreed "rule", they didn't run away or fight each other. , instead approached the center of the living room and sat down in a peaceful trembling.

When the man picked up the revolver and loaded only one bullet into it, Su Xiaoqiang by the window opened her eyes wide and breathed heavily. Because she never imagined that in the desperate situation and surrounded by monsters, the guns of these people The mouth actually turned towards them.

The man looked at Su Xiaoqiang, and everyone else looked at Su Xiaoqiang, including the Indian man who went crazy at the beginning, as if waiting for her to go there together.

　ps: Tomorrow's update will probably end Spirit Vision, an important foreshadowing before the Bronze City.
