C1152 Dodecadal

"This is the sound of a trigger. I'm afraid it's a crossbow. Get down!"

Just as Lin Bai wanted to figure out what the sound was, Ninth Master Qin pressed him down to the ground.

As the sound of his voice faded, the sounds of breaking wind could be heard as he sped through the air, right above the foreheads of the crowd. In the silence of the mausoleum, the sounds of whooshing sounds rang out like a thunderclap, resounding in the minds of the spectators.

As he watched the huge arrows fly out and enter the walls, Lin Bai felt the muscles of his head tighten. Cold sweat the size of beans trickled down his forehead to the soles of his feet. The arrows brushed past their hair. If it wasn't for the sharp reactions of Ninth Master Qin, they would have lost their lives here.

At this moment, the hearts of everyone were in their throats. The joy of knowing that there was still a large amount of immortal medicine in the First Emperor's Tomb had all disappeared. Lin Bai even bit the tip of his tongue as he calmed himself down, reminding himself to keep his composure. Since there was a method that a master could use to create his own world within the Tomb of the First Emperor, there would be even more danger. If he continued onward blindly, he would be courting death.

What made Lin Bai, Ninth Master Qin, and the rest even more astonished was that although this wave of arrows had already turned the surroundings into the appearance of a hedgehog, the cracking sounds of the mechanism's activation continued to ring out. Under the cover of the thick fog, the sound was only audible, yet there wasn't any other reaction. This caused the spectators to be extremely curious in their hearts, just what exactly was going to happen next?

The sound of the machine stopped after a short while. After a short period of peace, the sound of footsteps suddenly appeared. Hearing this voice, Lin Bai could not help but feel joy in his heart. Could it be that Li San and Fu Chengguang had met with some sort of danger along the way? If he were to turn back now, he could use this opportunity to interrogate them.

But very quickly, Lin Bai's heart sank. Although the sound of their footsteps was extremely similar to that of a human's, it was clear and terrifying. It did not sound like the sound of a human stomping on flesh and blood. Instead, a wave of human figures were approaching the area. But if it wasn't Li San's group, then what was slowly approaching from within the mist?

Just as Lin Bai was pondering, a black figure vaguely appeared within the mist in front of him. Glancing at the figure, Lin Bai could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. The figure in front of him was far taller than an ordinary person, but judging by his eyesight, he should be at least two meters tall. Regardless of whether it was Li San or Fu Chengguang, they would never have such altitude.

Looking at the scene before him, Lin Bai abruptly took a step forward. His right hand clenched into a fist as he channeled all the blood energy in his body and threw himself at the black figure. Regardless of what was in front of him, the only thing that Lin Bai was certain of was that in this small world, other than the few people beside him, the thing in front of him was definitely an enemy, not a friend.

"Chi la!" Just as Lin Bai was about to step forward, a sharp metallic sound rang out from the black figure. However, Lin Bai, who had already pounced forward, did not have the time to care about these things. Like an arrow released from a bow, his body leapt forward and arrived in front of the black figure.

It had to be known that Lin Bai's cultivation in the Martial Dao had already reached the Innate Realm. Although he was not at the level of Wu Qi, who could make people feel as if they were being slapped by a tidal wave when his blood was boiling, it was still not a problem to deal with a person's flesh and blood body. But what Lin Bai didn't expect was that when he swung his fist, it was as though he struck a metal object, causing his wrist and palm to faintly ache from the impact.

He wasn't the only one who had a puzzled expression on his face after hearing the sounds of Lin Bai's fist and the black shadow colliding with each other. Just what was hidden in the dense fog in front of him? How could it be so hard?

Lin Bai lowered his head and glanced at his fist, which was constantly burning with pain, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but slightly tremble. After this punch, even though he had trained his body for so many years, there were still a few vicious wounds on his body. The wounds were like the mouth of a baby, and they were overflowing with blood.

What the f * ck was this? From the moment Lin Bai entered the world, he had battled countless times with other people. It was not like he had never met those Western people who practiced the similar Iron Cloth Robes or were proficient in fighting techniques, but he had never been at such a disadvantage before. His punch had left the opponent completely unscathed, while the skin on his fist had split open. This was truly incomprehensible to him.

Furthermore, Lin Bai also discovered that on the wounds of his hands, there were some faint green colored fragments mixed in with the fresh blood, causing one to be unable to discern what exactly it was. Could it be that the thing in front of him was not a human?! Staring at the green debris, Lin Bai made a bold guess. However, this thought only appeared for a moment before it was quickly dispelled by him.

Ninth Master Qin muttered to himself before turning on the cold light. He pressed the button, and the light instantly flowed out like a stream of water, penetrating through the dense fog and illuminating a large area around them. Everything before him was thoroughly exposed to the onlookers.

With this glance, everyone's bodies simultaneously became incomparably stiff, and their throats became dry and astringent. When he finally understood what was going on, he felt a loud bang inside his head, and his entire body went blank. His mouth opened wide, and he kept rubbing his eyes, unable to believe that what was in front of him was real.

Ninth Master Qin, who had suffered a lot under the snake's kiss, saw the peace in front of him and felt his ankle go soft. The brothers Tang Cheng and Tang Zhong, on the other hand, had paled and couldn't help but take a step back with fear written all over their faces.

In front of the group of people, the black figure currently standing upright emitted a faint green light under the illumination of the lamp. Furthermore, the appearance and attire of the black figure were exactly the same as the terracotta soldiers outside the First Emperor's mausoleum.

However, the metallic luster displayed by this black shadow clearly indicated that it was not made from clay like the terracotta soldiers, but rather cast from gold and copper. This was the reason why, under the onslaught of time, rust that was similar to bronze appeared all over its body.

And what caused Lin Bai and the rest to be the most shocked was that the bronze statue continued stepping closer and closer to the crowd. Although the bronze sword in its hand had undergone the onslaught of countless years, it still shone with a dazzling cold light, causing people to feel a chill in their hearts. His majestic appearance made him look like an armed warrior that had walked out from an ancient battlefield.

Could it be that back in the Qin Shi Huang era, there was already an existence that could create this type of robot? Seeing this scene in front of them, everyone couldn't help but feel somewhat uneasy. They even had this kind of absurd idea. However, apart from this thought, they could not find any other explanation for why this bronze soldier could still approach them despite the many years of invasion.

But if that was the case, why was there no historical record of such a cross-era civilization as the Qin and Han Dynasties?! And even if the ancestors really had the technology to make robots, what could they use to drive this machine? It had to be known that even with the current technology, there was no way to provide the robots with the power to survive for thousands of years.

Whether it was the steam engine or the invention of the generator, they were all hundreds of years away from the Qin and Han Dynasties. How did the people at that time solve this problem?! Could it be that there really are aliens in this world? They came to Earth during the Qin and Han Dynasties and gave it to the First Emperor, a technique that allowed him to use nuclear power to drive robots, leaving behind a powerful guard force for the tombs.

Before Lin Bai and the rest could figure out what was going on, the sound of salad began to resound from the depths of the fog. The fluorescent lights reflected more and more rays of light. The spectators couldn't help but be taken aback as they stared in the direction of the voice. Behind the leading bronze soldier, there was actually another group of bronze soldiers that seemed to be carved out of the same mold as him.

At this moment, it was impossible to describe what Lin Bai and the others were feeling.

However, the current scene within the tomb of the First Emperor, regardless of whether it was ordinary people or those archaeologists with great prestige in the international community, they probably couldn't use their knowledge to explain this strange scene.

"One, two, three … eleven, twelve …" Looking at the bronze soldier who was more than two meters tall, a light flashed in Ninth Master Qin's eyes. After a long while, he revealed an expression of understanding and exclaimed, "Twelve golden men! These are the original emperor's twelve gold men! "

12 gold men?! Lin Bai was stunned for a moment. He looked to the front and saw exactly twelve bronze soldiers, just as Ninth Master Qin had said. He suddenly remembered the information about the First Emperor that was recorded in the ancient books before he entered the Tomb of the First Emperor.

The First Emperor was the first emperor in China to complete the unification, and the arguments about him were still being discussed even now in society. He not only had the reputation of tyrant and cruelty, but he also left unsolved historical mysteries for his descendants. And the twelve golden men in front of everyone were one of the most legendary of these unsolved mysteries.

"Records of the First Emperor of Qin Dynasty: Twenty-six years, the First Emperor collected the world's weapons, gathered the Xianyang, sold it as a bell, cast 12 gold men, each weight of thousands of stones, moved to the palace. However, after the death of the First Emperor, the 12 gold men had lost their whereabouts, as if they had been lost in the course of history. The later generations of historians also argued about the whereabouts of the 12 gold men.

Some people believed that the Twelve Golden Men had been burned to ashes after Xiang Yu had barged into Epang Palace. Others believed that in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo had led his army to invade Chang'an and then destroyed the Golden Men into copper coins …

But at this very moment, the scene before the eyes of the crowd clearly showed that the Twelve Golden Men, who had left behind countless doubts in the course of history, had not been burned or cast into copper coins. Instead, they were the favorite possessions of the First Emperor.

However, even after they understood the background of these bronze soldiers, the suspicions in the hearts of the crowd still showed no signs of dissipating. Why were these 12 Gold men able to move on their own like the robots of today's society, and their murderous auras were even rushing straight towards the bull fighting arena?!
