Fire Dragon 48

  I followed Zhao Si's line of sight and saw a few people rushing out from the tunnel on that side, walking while looking back, and occasionally firing a few shots behind them, as if something terrifying was chasing after them.

  Wait a minute, these are all unfamiliar faces, who are they? Are they the Ye family people that Zhao Si talked about?

  Ye's family is one of the three big families in Changsha, and their news travels fast. It can't be that we just arrived and they followed right after us, or else how could we have run into them so quickly here?

  I don't know why they came here, could it be what the Zhou family said, chasing after Grandfather. I heard Baishou Sheng and others say that Grandfather seems to have something they want?

  Good grief! Chasing after something all the way to this godforsaken place, what exactly is it that's so important?

  As I looked closer, there was someone inside who I recognized and was somewhat familiar with.

  They caught Gao Dali, I saw that Gao Dali's hands were tied up with ropes, Gao Dali opened his eyes and looked at everything in front of him, also a bit shocked.

  However, those people saw the luxurious palace in front of them, their mouths were wide open, staring blankly, and forgot to fire.

  "This damn thing is more luxurious than the Qin Palace, even if I die and get buried here, it wouldn't be a waste of my life." An old man stroked his chin whiskers, with a look of yearning in his eyes.

  This old man, isn't he thinking of dying here? Why is he acting as if it's his own home?

  "Wong Tai Sin, do you still remember the entrance from back then?" A middle-aged man turned around, his eyes fixed on the old man, and asked.

  Huang Daxian narrowed his eyes and chuckled dryly, saying in a somewhat eerie tone, "The entrance from back then requires finding that person to enter."

  "Old temple, are you sure he also came?" The middle-aged man looked at the old man beside him and asked.

  "Yan Ye, that person has already arrived. Now we just need to force him out." The old temple's gaze swept around the surroundings and finally stopped at the stone where we were hiding.

  I went, is this the God of Calculation? This old man shouldn't have discovered us, right? I moved my body uncomfortably, then Zhao Si stretched out his hand to hold me down, signaling me not to move.

  From the rock we hid behind, I could clearly see a small thin monkey crouching beside the rock in front of me, one hand supporting the rock and one foot bent, looking like a golden rooster standing on one leg, it looked very funny, and those two eyes were carefully watching them.

  It seems those people still don't know there are others in this great hall.

  Not long after, the entire hall slowly darkened down, the cold fire stick burned to its end, until those people could no longer be seen.

  Suddenly, with a whooshing sound, it lit up instantly. It was only then that I discovered a huge fire dragon burning in the middle of the air in the entire grand hall, and the dragon's head was facing the direction of the exit. The deep yellow light was like the rising sun.

  That enormous fire dragon seemed to have solidified and was lying in mid-air, yet I couldn't see any supporting points.

  Once again, it verifies that the wisdom of the ancients is very powerful. This giant fire dragon, without any fulcrum, does not fall down.

  This reminds me of clouds in the sky, fog, also hovering in the air without falling.

  Wasn't this giant dragon also built using that principle?

  Everyone knows why clouds in the sky won't fall down.

  I know that clouds are composed of small water droplets condensed from water vapor with dust as the core, and the uneven refraction of light by these droplets makes the cloud not completely transparent. A piece of cloud with a volume of 1-2 cubic kilometers can weigh several tons, but due to its large volume, it also receives a lot of buoyancy, and the rising air current supports the cloud, so it won't fall down. However, if the temperature suddenly drops and the humidity in the air increases, it will cause the small water droplets inside the cloud to grow larger. When the droplet becomes too heavy for the airflow to support its weight, it will fall towards the ground.

  In summary, the principle is that the cloud floats in the air and the hot air balloon floats in the air are similar, and the same as the Kongming lantern floating in the sky.

  By analogy, this giant fire dragon floats in mid-air, probably because the buoyancy of the air is greater than that of the fire dragon, so it will not fall down.

  But doubts have arisen again, what is the composition of this fire dragon, why can it burn? What did the ancients use to make it?

  I hadn't had time to ponder deeply when I heard Yan Wang shouting loudly: "Quickly retreat, the ground below is all mercury."

  As soon as Grandpa Yan's voice fell, a heart-wrenching scream was heard. I came back to my senses and looked at the person under the fire dragon. His hands and feet were convulsing non-stop, his face had become unrecognizable due to the blood and flesh being torn apart. It was impossible to tell where his eyes, nose, or mouth were anymore.

  That man shouted a few sentences, convulsed several times, and suddenly stopped moving.

  He's dead.

  It's absolutely dead.

  The people of Ye's family looked a bit ugly, while Yan's master looked at that person with no expression, as if he didn't care at all.

  Everyone knows what mercury is, it has a very strong toxicity, and the person who just died, his body was like being burned by a big fire, his skin was like being splashed with sulfuric acid, no, it's even more severe than sulfuric acid, it's called dimethylmercury, an element separated from mercury.

  If that's really mercury, is there another substance in this great hall that can separate dimethylmercury from mercury?

  Thinking of this, my body trembled, and I looked at the fire dragon in horror, afraid that I would die as terribly as the person lying under it.

  "Get down..." Huang Daxian suddenly shouted, he fell to the ground and didn't move. The others heard him and didn't say a word, they directly got down on the ground too.

  Immediately afterwards, tens of millions of arrows shot up into the air towards them, directly shooting onto the opposite platform, they looked extremely shocked.

  "My daughter, if I were to be shot by this arrow, I would rather shoot myself with a single gun." Lao Miao said, patting his chest and staring at the arrow on the steps.

  I was surprised that Huang Daxian actually knew the poisonous arrow with a hook was coming, this old man's hearing must be incredibly keen.

  At this moment, the fire dragon that was circling above the grand hall suddenly went out, and for a moment, everything around was pitch black.

  A vague feeling spread throughout my body, I was stunned, and even my back was sweating, I reckon my whole back was wet.

  Suddenly, a loud muffled sound came, and for a moment, I immediately covered my nose.

  The thin monkey opposite the stone released a huge fart in the posture of a golden rooster, producing a strong echo throughout the entire hall, vibrating like the amplitude of ultrasonic waves. I could hear it clearly even from this far away, let alone those Ye family members inside the hall.

  This fart is so smelly that it fills the entire hall with a foul odor. Immediately afterwards, someone can be heard scolding.

  "What's this smell, it's so stinky, it's suffocating me."

  "Old Ye, I'm telling you, you'll never find the Tiger Tally..."

  Right after that, a crisp slap rang out. I weighed it in my mind and figured someone must have hit Gao Dali.

  What's this "Tiger Tally" they're talking about?

  I remember that Grandpa mentioned in his letter about the Tiger Token, could it be the same thing?

  Ye's family came all the way here with such a big fuss, just for that Tiger Symbol thing? I think it shouldn't be that simple.

  I tilted my ear, carefully tracing the sound to determine their direction. The sounds coming from my ears grew louder and louder, as if they were being emitted right next to me.

  "I don't need that Tiger Symbol thing. If it weren't for Zhou Baihe valuing you, I would have killed you long ago." Yan Ye smiled coldly, his voice carrying a hint of mockery.

  Zhou Baihe isn't crazy?

  I don't dare to be certain about this?

  From then on, I haven't seen Old Man Zhou's team, really, didn't they all come here?

  Right after that, they didn't make a sound anymore, and I wasn't clear what they were doing either.

  My body was shaking all over, I twisted my head, as if I didn't feel Zhao Si beside me, so I reached out to touch the side, empty.

  When did Zhao Si leave? I don't have any gap at all, what's important is where he went?
