"What kind of sword is this? It’s so powerful," Ye Shikai exclaid in shock and curiosity. At the ti, he felt that the Ghost General was sowhat special, so he kept its sword. Unexpectedly, this sword managed to scare off dozens of Ghost Soldiers.
"Let take a look," Ji Qian said as she took the bronze sword from Ye Shikai’s hand. It didn’t seem to be anything special, at most it differed from the bronze swords of the Ghost Soldiers, who fled as if they had seen sothing dangerous.
"Anyway, it’s a good thing, right? At least it shows that this bronze sword is not ordinary. If the Ghost Soldiers are really afraid of it, then it would make things easier going forward and save us a lot of trouble." Wuyan’s eyes were fixed on the bronze sword, but from the result-oriented perspective, obtaining this bronze sword was like finding a treasure.
Continuing forward, through a not very spacious passage, the scene before them once again shocked everyone. In front of them was a plain, extrely flat. The most crucial thing is, how could there be such a large place inside the relic? Except for the gray clouds above, it was almost no different from the suburbs. Of course, the relic itself could be understood as another dinsion. Wasn’t it the sa in Atlantis, that magnificent "Underwater City" that unfortunately was eventually subrged?
In the distance, at the end of the plain, stood a mountain, and in front of the mountain stood two towering bronze statues, each more than twenty ters tall. Ye Shikai took out his binoculars; the statues were modeled after Qin Country soldiers, with swords at their waists, gazing forward with a majestic air.
"According to ancient texts, Emperor Qin Shi Huang collected the weapons of the world, gathered them in Xianyang, lted them down, and cast twelve bronze n. However, in Bai Qi’s relics, there shouldn’t be such large bronze figures," Ji Qian said, sowhat puzzled. The appearance of the bronze figures was indeed very similar to the descriptions in ancient books, but in the relics, these bronze figures had not been weathered by the millennia, appearing very bright and smooth. If there were sunlight here, they’d be even more dazzling.
After Emperor Qin Shi Huang unified the country, he collected the world’s weaponry tal, concentrated it in Xianyang, and forged it into twelve bronze figures, demonstrating his authority. Ji Qian speculated that these two bronze figures should not be among the twelve but were forged separately.
"It seems there is an entrance in front of the mountain," Ye Shikai said, using binoculars to see a stone door at the foot of the mountain. Could it be... inside this mountain is Bai Qi’s tomb?
Ye Shikai was instantly excited; after working hard for so long, there was finally so gain. Looking at the size of this mountain, if it wasn’t Bai Qi’s tomb, whose could be so magnificent?
"I think this is Bai Qi’s tomb," Ye Shikai said excitedly as he stepped forward, but suddenly Ji Qian reached out to stop him.
"Wait, listen carefully," Ji Qian said softly. Everyone held their breath; the air seed to be filled with a scent... of blood, along with "thump thump" footsteps.
Rumble, rumble, rumble.
Several loud noises ca from the foot of the mountain, where the flat ground unexpectedly caved in. Moreover, the collapse was rectangular, asuring fifty ters wide, with over twenty rectangular depressions. Soone with OCD might find it quite pleasing...
"What the heck is going on?" Ye Shikai had a bad premonition.
Thump, thump, thump.
A series of orderly footsteps ca from the plain, the sound growing louder, even causing the ground to start trembling. Everyone began to feel uneasy; what was happening?
"My lord, look," a Moon Guard pointed ahead. From the collapsed ground erged a neat phalanx of Ghost Soldiers, densely packed, numbering at least a thousand. With more than twenty exits, there must be tens of thousands of Ghost Soldiers, fully ard with bronze halberds, shields, crossbows, and war chariots.
"What are those warhorses?!" Ye Shikai exclaid as he looked through the binoculars, nearly swearing aloud. Ghost Soldiers were one thing, but how could the horses be alive?
Could they be ghost horses...
"Advance," suddenly shouted an officer on horseback, and the military formation began marching toward them. With each step, the ground trembled as if in an earthquake.
"My lord, what should we do now?" The recruits under Ye Shikai saw the situation and couldn’t help but be frightened. They had never seen such a display of tens of thousands of troops, a showcase of "ancient military formation culture."
"Don’t panic," Ye Shikai said, lowering his voice. In a head-to-head fight, not even ten Ye Shikais would be a match for them. There were tens of thousands of them; even if not beaten to death, exhaustion would co first.
"Right, let’s try this," Ye Shikai said, pulling out the bronze sword and gripping it tightly in his hand.
At this point, a general on horseback charged out from the formation, holding a long spear, staring intently at Ye Shikai.
"Does that an he wants to challenge ?" Ye Shikai murmured to himself. Ghost Soldiers couldn’t speak; they had a language barrier. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration hit him. Ye Shikai pointed the sword at the general. Unexpectedly, the general also raised his spear, pointing it at Ye Shikai.
Indeed it was, and Ye Shikai’s heart leapt with joy. It was a challenge to a duel.
But...
Ye Shikai looked at the tall horse that the general was riding, then at himself. The Storage Ring couldn’t contain a living horse.
Was he supposed to run over there on foot?
Ancient generals went to battle in chariots, and Ye Shikai didn’t have an ancient chariot, but he did have a modern armored vehicle.
"Everyone step aside, make so room," Ye Shikai said with a sly smile, as he pulled out a Humvee armored vehicle from the Storage Ring in front of dozens of people and tens of thousands of Ghost Soldiers.
"Soone, drive for ," Ye Shikai shouted, wanting to show everyone the power of modern armor.
"I’ll do it," said a cool voice, and turning his head, the eager volunteer was Ji Qian.
"What, don’t trust my driving skills?" Ji Qian said with a faint smile, then directly sat in the driver’s seat. Ye Shikai didn’t say much. The gunner position in the armored vehicle could expose half a body; not sure if firearms could be used in this duel...
"Forget it, let’s play around," Ye Shikai said, removing the machine gun and taking out a tal sword, planning to use cold weapons against the Ghost General.
"How about I just drive over and crash them, saving you the trouble," Ji Qian said with a laugh from the driver’s seat.
"You can try," Ye Shikai replied, but before he could finish, Ji Qian stomped on the gas pedal, nearly causing him to lose his balance and fall.
The engine roared; this kind of duel was probably the first of its kind. The general on horseback charged at the armored vehicle, unafraid of being knocked off.
