100: Chapter 86: The Iron Armor Sword Slave [Subscription Request]_2 100: Chapter 86: The Iron Armor Sword Slave [Subscription Request]_2 These people continued to follow Lin Baici and his group, and gradually, the two parties rged into one.
After all, in such a strange place, having more people around to band together provided an added sense of security.
On the surrounding yellow earth, bronze swords sporadically appeared; they were broken, fragnted, rusted…
Just casually thrust into the ground.
Streams about a foot wide appeared, only they weren’t filled with refreshing stream water, but molten iron, brimming with scorching heat.
The scalding air here seed to be caused by these rivers of molten iron.
Lin Baici looked around and pressed his stomach.
He was hungry.
[A top predator needs a weapon that fits the hand, to hunt prey, swiftly clean and prepare the ingredients, and keep the original flavor of the food as much as possible.]
“What kind of rule contamination is it this ti?”
Guo Zheng’s brow furrowed tightly.
Listening to the Eater God’s comntary and considering the environnt around, Lin Baici estimated they would encounter Taboo Things related to weapons up ahead.
As everyone advanced, the bronze swords stuck in the ground beca more nurous and their quality improved significantly.
So were even usable as weapons.
Feng Yi went over and picked out two bronze swords with fewer nicks on the blade.
“General Manager Gu, would you take one for self-defense?”
Feng Yi offered earnestly.
“Thank you.”
Gu Rongjie accepted it; the bronze sword was heavy in her hand, at least eight pounds, and still warm.
Seeing this, others also started looking for swords.
So even took two—it felt more secure than empty hands—but as soon as they grabbed them, the big female bear in front spoke.
“It’s best not to randomly touch things around here; they may have been contaminated!”
Xia Hongyao’s words startled everyone.
Contaminated?
Just hearing the word made people uncomfortable.
Lin Baici and Guo Zheng paused simultaneously and looked ahead, where a huge sword furnace stood.
It resembled a small hill, sitting there covered in cracks.
From those cracks, scalding molten iron flowed, forming these streams.
[A sword furnace nurturing a famous sword.
When it was completed, a swordsmith renowned across the nations and three hundred slaves were sacrificed by the king as human offerings, blood consecrating the blade, all burnt alive within the furnace.]
The tomb of an emperor would surely have many burial objects.
This sword furnace was one among them, where for the final step of forging a sword, the swordsmith and the slaves involved in the sword-making were killed as human sacrifices.
The king, even in death, required a sword.
“Is this Divine Ruins a tomb?”
Lin Baici was curious.
The Eater God did not respond.
But in reality, it was indeed so.
The location where the teor fell coincided with a pre-Qin tomb that had yet to be discovered by the world.
After the God’s bones radiation, so items in the tomb had been contaminated into Taboo Things.
The Divine Turtle Shell Lin Baici had just obtained was crafted by an ancient Great Wizard.
In front of the sword furnace, there stood a Black Stele more than a ter tall, with inscriptions that were probably ritual texts.
Further on, about twenty ters from the furnace, stood an enormous iron column sculpted with twisting dragons, buried in the ground.
Dragons and phoenixes were carved onto the column along with reliefs of ferocious beasts.
A massive bronze chain, as thick as an adult’s leg, was attached at one end to the twisting dragon column, and at the other, it shackled the left ankle of an armored figure.
This iron-clad figure was covered in black armor and at the mont knelt in profound prostration before the stele, motionless.
Although its body was not straightened, it was evident that the figure was burly and tall.
Next to the iron-clad figure was a Bronze Sword planted in the ground, so wide and big it resembled a door plank.
“Let’s… let’s just go, I have a bad feeling about this place!”
Du Xin was scared.
She wanted to leave, but since Lin Baici was not going, it was likely that Tang Zhiqian and the others wouldn’t leave either.
“God Lin, what is your take on this?”
Lv Yingxi rubbed her temples; her head hurt, and she felt nauseous and on the verge of vomiting.
“Leave?
Where would we go to?
Even if we can’t find God’s bones and break out of the Divine Ruins soon, you ordinary people will die even if hidden away and not experiencing any rule contamination!”
Guo Zheng scoffed.
Did they really think radiation from God’s bones was a joke?
“Sorry, my mistake.
Not die—turn into dead flesh people!”
Guo Zheng’s words struck fear into everyone, leaving them in a state of fright and panic.
“Little White!”
Hua Yue Yu grabbed Lin Baici’s arm.
“No need to panic!”
Lin Baici reassured.
The curse on Coach Zhang had been removed, his tuberculosis cured, but his body couldn’t imdiately return to health, and after walking such a distance, he started to feel uncomfortable in his chest and lungs.
“Cough, cough!”
Coach Zhang felt an itch in his throat and coughed twice before spitting onto the ground.
His saliva was streaked with blood.
This made Coach Zhang’s expression serious, and just as he was about to wipe his mouth, he suddenly felt a shadow overhead as if sothing had blocked out the sun.
Turning his head, he was shocked to see the iron-clad person who had been kneeling before the stele now standing beside him.
Clang!
The chain shuddered, producing a grating sound.
“Defilers of the sword furnace, die!”
The iron-clad figure shouted and swung the great sword in hand.
Coach Zhang instinctively tried to run, but before he could move more than a step, the iron-clad figure’s Door Plank Greatsword had already slashed across Coach Zhang’s left waist from left to right.
Swish!
Coach Zhang was bisected at the waist; his upper body thudded to the ground, blood and bowels spattering everywhere.
Ah!
Coach Zhang scread, his arms desperately trying to crawl away.
