Chapter 21 1.21 Fallen Titan
A brief battle between mortals is only a short moment for a city that has existed for eternity. After a brief rest and filling their stomachs with the remaining food from the ship, Loki and the Viking warriors picked up their weapons and continued to march towards the center of the city.
It is worth mentioning that the white robe worn by the deceased "Xuan Hezi" was also worn by him. This seemingly ordinary piece of clothing can endure for thousands of years, and it also has its own wonders.
Another trophy gained is the [Seal of Blood Sacrifice] that is held tightly in his hand.
Although he did not talk to Old Walder, his intuition told him that if he wanted to escape from this silent tomb-like city, he would be unable to do without the mark he used when entering.
As for how to activate this thing, Loki still doesn't know yet.
Along the way, everyone gradually went from the edge of the city to the center of the city.
Just looking at the plan, the urban structure of "The Submerged City of Hohenheim" is no different from the many Viking villages and towns Loki has seen.
What distinguishes the outer city from the inner city is a mottled city gate. Seeing this door, Loki confirmed that the people who lived here thousands of years ago were giants about five meters tall.
10 Viking warriors used all their strength to push open the heavy stone door.
After entering the city, the first thing that caught our eyes was a terrifying mountain of corpses!
It was a group of tall humanoid creatures whose bodies were as black as ink. After losing their lives, their flesh and blood had long since dried. However, after thousands of years of erosion, a layer of porcelain-like enamel appeared on their skin.
(If my prediction is correct, these things should be the "fallen titans" mentioned by Gu Changqing in the blood mist fantasy!)
According to the records in the bamboo slips of Xuan Hezi, 7 people entered the Sleeping City and after killing the fallen Titan, 4 people flew out to continue other tasks.
There were only three people left in the city at that time.
After the alchemist exploded and died after trying the elixir, the only two people who survived were "Gu Changqing" of the Hongmeng Sword Sect and "Xue Hezi" of the Demon Sealing Right Guard.
The passage connecting the two worlds was opened, and a large group of fallen titans appeared. The two remaining pre-Qin Qi masters slaughtered so many fallen titans.
No wonder Qin Shihuang had such terrifying ambitions thousands of years ago.
If he had thousands of these powerful ancient monks, he would really have the strength to reach the hometown of the Outer Gods.
"Hey, boss, these black giant's weapons look good to me. They are much stronger than the iron ax in my hand." The companions behind them gathered around. They walked to the black giant and pulled out the weapons they had inserted in their waists. "Dagger", chop hard.
"Ha! When others hold it, it's a dagger, but when we carry it, it's a giant sword. It's just right!"
"I went out behind my dad's back and didn't do much work for half a month! If I don't bring something with me when I go home, I won't be able to justify it in terms of face!"
The companions nodded. "A thief never steals his money" is the spirit engraved deep in the souls of the Vikings. And this group of half-grown children under the age of twenty are obviously much easier to accept gods than Loki.
The sophisticated sword instantly diluted the fear caused by the mountain of corpses in front of him. Viking warriors have been instilled with the idea that "you can enter the Hall of Valor only if you die in battle" since childhood. For them, a handy weapon is more important than life.
"Hehe, this thing works great! I don't know how long it took but it's still so sharp. The key is that the weight is also what I like!"
"It's not just the weight! This kind of dark weapon is the most useful thing in the dark night! Think about it, when the surroundings are pitch black, a pitch black knife wheel is aimed at you, who can see it clearly!"
"Hurry, get it for me!"
Seeing that the leader Loki had no objection, the captain Sartre skillfully took out the rope and tied all the giant daggers gathered together into a bundle.
"In addition to the dagger on the black giant's waist, the daggers scattered on the ground, and the broken axes were all that could be picked up. Let's go out to sea, and after running for half a month, there is not even a fraction of the steel on the ground. "
"Go back to the village and try to see if this toy can melt. If it does, we have to make nails and continue building the ship!"
The Viking warriors shouted loudly and worked enthusiastically.
In the Middle Ages, low smelting efficiency made all kinds of metals valuable. This may be the first time in their lives that these Viking warriors have been able to obtain so much high-quality metal for free without experiencing battle.
The pirates harvested these precious metals with great excitement, as if they had been given a shot of blood. Only 10 of them entered the submerged city, but there were still about thirty brothers at home who could take up arms and fight.
Being able to fight alone is not very effective in protecting their homeland. They need everyone around them to be strong to be able to better resist foreign enemies.
Loki let them clean up the battlefield on their own, while he held the burning Blood Qin Rock Reef high and continued walking towards the center of the dark city. After entering the city, huge corpses can be seen everywhere.
Opening a door casually, two tall giants were lying on the dining table, leaving a wisp of solidified black blood on the table.
After a long time, the black blood has solidified and dried into a wrinkled black skin. Grabbing their bodies, which were slightly smooth due to patina, Loki climbed onto the table and found that the fatal wounds on their bodies came from their left and right temples.
If expected, these people were killed by bullet-like weapons that penetrated their heads from left to right. Thinking of the broken sword placed next to Xuan Hezi's body, he was most likely the one who took action.
(So, those with red bodies should be the "normal people" of the "Blood Creator". They don't carry any weapons at all, and there are no serial number combat marks on their arms.)
(Outside the door, those "fallen Titans" who are all black and fully armed should be the army of the "Blood Creator".)
Loki sat quietly on the long table with his back against the dead head of the red giant. Looking around the room, he saw a lot of worn-out stone slabs, dried plants, and dried animal specimens with the weak light of the torch in his hand.
(Is it possible that they followed the "Blood Creator" to Earth for some kind of scientific research purpose? Just like the human colonization mission on Mars that he saw on TV in his previous life)
Walking slowly along the long table, when he saw a dried mammoth head specimen, he almost confirmed his guess. He has seen a lot of this thing. The Slavs are good at training mammoths as hauling tools.
This thing is produced in the Slavic Mountains across the Baltic Sea.
(If this group of people entered this base on Earth for the purpose of collecting specimens for research, there must be a way out!)
(Otherwise, these big guys wouldn't have to swim from the bottom of the sea tens of thousands of meters deep to the surface every time!)
After a round of searching, Loki didn't find anything worth collecting. Just as he was about to slide back to the ground along the giant's body, he heard the sound of flapping wings again.
Looking back, he saw the big black crow again. The big crow landed in front of him and pecked the ground twice, then stood up and flew to the door.
Loki hurriedly climbed down from the test bench.
After escaping death several times, "following the big crow" has become a kind of intuition in his subconscious.
