Chapter 431
When Li Tai and others looked at the scene inside the underground palace, their eyes were full of disbelief.
In their previous expectation, there should be no light inside the Dragon Emperor's underground palace, and even if there is light, it comes from the eternal lamp inside the underground palace.
The member of the Distinction Bureau who entered the Dragon Emperor's tomb earlier described it in the same way.
But why has the environment inside the underground palace become like this in less than two years? If they hadn't just walked in from the gate of the underground palace, they would even doubt whether they really traveled back to the Qin Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago.
After thinking about it, they soon thought of a possibility.
"It's the Dragon Emperor! The Dragon Emperor is about to wake up, and it's his power that affects the underground palace!"
Li Tai immediately whispered to his teammates behind him.
And everyone who heard his guess couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
Relying on the little power emitted by himself to change the underground palace, how powerful would the fully awakened Dragon Emperor be?
Just when they were about to say something, there was a sudden earthquake-like noise in front of them, followed by billowing smoke and dust.
The next second, a huge army appeared less than ten kilometers ahead of them.
In the front row of the army were Qin army chariots pulled by war horses, and behind them were armored cavalrymen holding long spears.
There were at least tens of thousands of these cavalrymen, each wearing a bronze mask on his face, murderous and heroic.
In the meantime, black military flags could be seen fluttering in the wind.
When this army of more than 10,000 people rushed towards Li Tai and others, they instantly felt a sense of time and space confusion.
In a trance, they saw the war scene of this mighty army from the Qin Dynasty sweeping across the world.
They were so stunned that their heartbeats were several times faster than before. They finally understood why Zhao Wuji had repeatedly told them not to fight the Terracotta Army in the underground palace unless it was absolutely necessary.
As for the Terracotta Army they saw now, once they surrounded them, they didn't even have the confidence to hold out for ten minutes.
A few minutes later, the army finally came not far in front of them.
When the general terracotta warrior in the front tightened the reins, the warhorse under his seat stopped immediately, and then the chariots and cavalry corps following behind him completed the action of stopping their horses almost at the same time. The whole process was smooth and there was no mistake. It was truly carried out according to orders and stopped according to prohibitions.
This scene once again made Li Tai and others feel a little nervous, and at this time the general terracotta warrior who led the army also looked at them.
Although the other party looked like a clay figurine, and his eyes were only painted, when his eyes swept over the crowd, they still felt a strong sense of oppression, which made them lower their heads unconsciously.
Fortunately, the other party was not coming for them. He just glanced at them, and the general terracotta rode his horse to the general terracotta who had led everyone into the underground palace earlier.
After the two talked for a while, the later general terracotta nodded, and in the nervous expressions of Li Tai and others, he rode his horse to them.
"Since you are here to offer treasures to His Majesty the Dragon Emperor, then follow me into the palace."
"But I have something to say in advance. If you dare to have any unruly intentions, you will be killed without mercy!"
"Let's go!"
As soon as the general terracotta finished his murderous words, the army behind him split into two columns, extending all the way from their position to the direction of the city gate, leaving a road about 10 meters wide in the middle.
Under such circumstances, Li Tai and others followed the general terracotta warriors tremblingly towards the city ahead.
When they got closer, they found out how magnificent this city built inside the underground palace was, which reminded them of ancient Xianyang.
That's right, the city in the underground palace before them was almost a one-to-one restoration of the Xianyang City more than 2,000 years ago.
Even when they were about to enter the city, they saw a river and farmland around Xianyang City.
After entering the city, the market, houses, wine shops, workshops, and other buildings were also presented one by one, and everything showed them how powerful the First Empire of Blue Star was more than 2,000 years ago.
Of course, there were no residents in Xianyang City at this moment, only the same terracotta warriors and horses as those outside the city, who were guarding their capital like the most loyal guards.
There were at least dozens of terracotta warriors in the entire Xianyang City.10,000 terracotta warriors, which made the already nervous people even more nervous.
But since it has come to this point, they can only bite the bullet and go on.
After walking for nearly ten kilometers, they finally arrived in front of the palace, where they finally saw the twelve bronze golden men.
At this moment, the twelve golden men were standing on both sides, standing motionless at the gate of the palace like sculptures, exuding a strong aura from head to toe, making people dare not doubt their powerful fighting power.
Li Tai and others thought that after passing the level of the twelve golden men, they should be able to see the Dragon Emperor next.
But they never expected that after entering the palace, there were even more terracotta warriors in the palace. Looking around, the square in front of the palace and the gates of each palace were all terracotta warriors.
Among them, there was a general terracotta warrior with S-level strength every ten steps, which made people's scalps numb.
"Is our ancestor a little too cautious?"
They couldn't help but think so in their hearts.
Fortunately, they were all elites who had seen the world. If ordinary people came here, they would be scared to pee on the spot.
After walking through the Xianyang Palace for more than ten minutes, they finally came to a magnificent palace.
The palace was dozens of feet high and covered an area of at least several thousand square meters. The stone steps at the entrance of the palace were like a ladder to heaven.
Li Tai and others could only barely see the entrance of the palace when they raised their heads.
When they saw this palace, they knew that they had arrived at their destination. The coffin of the Dragon Emperor must be placed in this palace.
He worked in this palace when he was alive, and he still slept here after his death, commanding thousands of troops underground.
What surprised Li Tai and others was that the guards became lax when they arrived here.
There was not even a terracotta warrior around the huge palace.
Just when they were puzzled, the general terracotta who led them here before spoke again.
"Please come to the gate of the palace to present treasures. His Majesty summons you to enter the palace."
As soon as these words came out, Li Tai and others immediately felt uneasy.
"The Dragon Emperor has woken up, right?"
