My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 179 Rescue
Zhu Xiangyang desperately followed the team leader and ran towards the entrance of the cave.

The sharks behind him were chasing after them. The sharks were extremely adapted to running and chasing in this dark cave. The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer in the darkness. Zhu Xiangyang could even hear the heavy breathing in their mouths and smell the sound coming from behind. There was an appalling fishy stench.

The footsteps were pounding, stepping on the moist but slightly frosty ground due to the sudden drop in temperature, and the feet were slightly slippery.

Zhu Xiangyang ran hard, but the temperature in the cave dropped so fast that not only did he not feel the slightest warmth from running with all his strength, his legs became stiffer due to the cold.

Screams came from behind. It was obvious that someone in the team fell down due to the sudden change in weather. He fell to the ground and was torn to pieces with harpoons and sharp teeth by the sharks who had been preparing to attack.

The climate inside the cave is getting colder and colder——

The bitter vines on the wall swayed uneasily because of this, and those thorny branches greedily shot towards the only source of heat in the field, the running humans. When those densely packed vines stabbed like steel needles, If you break the fragile skin of these humans, you can drink the hot blood inside.

Another person is left behind.

The rugged cave in the dark is too difficult for mortals to run around, and they will fall to the ground if they are not careful.

Zhu Xiangyang subconsciously wanted to look back, but was held back by the strong and powerful hand of the old man in charge.

"Come on—"

Zhu Xiangyang raised his head, and behind him came the sound of a corpse being dragged and a steel fork being inserted into the flesh.

Feeling the slight tremor under his feet, Zhu Yingxun's face turned ugly.

"Something big is approaching."

There was a faint tremor in Zhu Yingxun's voice. Passing the corner in front of him, there was a long and relatively flat corridor leading directly to the outside world.

Zhu Yingxun took out the command arrows and handed one to Zhu Xiangyang and the other to himself.

"Close your eyes and run forward——"

Two command arrows were ignited one after another.

The smoking arrow was thrown backward towards the shark by Zhu Yingxun.

These sharks looked frightened, but after realizing that this thing did not pose any threat, the anger of being humiliated suddenly surged into their hearts.

They roared and chased forward through the heavy fog.

In the thick fog, a colorful light flashed, and Zhu Xiangyang successfully reported his position to the imperial troops staying at the entrance of the cave.

The armored golden sword suddenly sounded——

The sharks roared into the smoke and disappeared in the blink of an eye after a few dull sounds.

Quiet - too quiet -

The sharks stared uneasily at the thick smoke in front of them.

There was hesitation in those large but unclear eyes.

Why are those brave sharks who were the first to rush into the thick smoke now have no sound at all?

The shark's beast-like roar, the rustle of its scales, and the echo of its webbed feet on the ground like waves in the sea, all disappeared at this time.

The sharks looked at the thick smoke in front of them in bewilderment, as if they were looking at a terrifying monster that could devour humans and animals.

"!@#@￥#"

At this time, a strange, primitive voice that cannot be understood by humans sounded from behind the shark.

The shark priests looked at these stupid beasts in front of them, roared in anger, waved their long whips, and used violence and fear to drive these sharks to continue pursuing.Every time the whip fell, there was a miserable cry of pain.

But these ferocious sharks were like docile cattle and sheep in front of the sacrifices. They could only whimper from their mouths as if to please and beg for mercy, and they did not even dare to make dodge movements.

The priest issued an order. If the sharks did not want to be thrown into the sea at night and become the meal of the sea god, they had no other choice but to obey.

The sharks looked at the smoke in front of them. Although they felt uneasy, they still held steel forks in their hands and slowly approached while surrounding each other.

Suddenly, some more sounds came from the smoke.

The sharks subconsciously stopped and looked forward nervously.

A gust of evil wind hit, and the sharks squeezed each other with nowhere to hide.

It was instantly knocked down.

Afterwards, a series of projectiles were thrown out of the smoke.

Those were the corpses of sharks.

The sharks subconsciously retreated, which was exactly what the invisible enemies in the smoke needed.

From the gaps between the corpses flying in the direction, there was a sound of firecrackers.

Golden fireballs hit the bodies of these sharks and ignited them in an instant.

The fire was blazing, and the sharks screamed in pain. Their burning bodies emitted bursts of burning smell. The ignited sharks rolled desperately on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies, but it was to no avail.

This flame is not an extraordinary fire, but something produced by the condensation of spiritual energy, as long as the energy contained in it is not exhausted.It can keep burning.

After a few shark soldiers who tried to drag the sharks away on the ground were easily knocked down by the fire blunderbuss, their whole bodies were burnt black, like dead fish.

The sharks listened to the continuous sound of firecrackers in their ears, and they couldn't help but have questions in their hearts while being frightened.

When could Ming Ting's fire blunderbuss be able to fire so intensively?
But obviously, those enemies in the dark will not have the patience to give them answers.

Finally, after leaving the corpses of the sharks everywhere, the sound of the firecrackers finally stopped.

But the shark didn't feel lucky.

Because what is coming is something more terrifying than those missiles.

In front of them are these Ming court soldiers flying out of the smoke, holding heavy swords and wearing heavy armor.

After careful design by the Ministry of Industry, the original heavy armor of the Han generals was strengthened. The Sixth Guards soldiers in front of them were no longer the inferior armors that were temporarily protected by steel plates and iron chains due to time constraints. .

The exquisite dragon and tiger beasts on the shoulders are shining with teeth and claws.

The vermilion hairpin on the head, which symbolizes rank, flutters in the wind.

Behind him is a warrior's cloak made of tiger skin, and the yellow brocade armor around the body is engraved with the patterns of tigers, mountain eagles and hundreds of beasts. On the helmet, Emperor Zhenwu holds the demon-suppressing sword, which is majestic. Every detail is carefully polished, all of which show the production of the Ministry of Industry. The exquisite care that goes into these armors.

It's just that compared to the gleaming gold all over the Han general, although he looks majestic, it is too easy to get dirty, and it is not easy to hide his figure.

Although the craftsmanship is the same, it is just that a lot more materials are used. However, in order to show the difference between the two, and to meet the needs of the generals who follow the emperor and fight in various places all year round, they cannot be like the generals of the Han Dynasty who can not only stand guard but also maintain their armor every day. The six guards of the Fu Army Except for the special designs of some people, the armor is always painted with black paint to prevent corrosion and rust.

Although Guo Xun and others have repeatedly claimed that the reason for this color is to better hide their figure when performing the emperor's mission.

But Zhu Houcong always felt that they had lingering fears after seeing the Ming court honor guard - the Han generals spent a lot of time maintaining their armor every day, and had to ensure that they were shining golden and dazzling when standing guard, so that they lived a hard life without any free time every day. I want to save time cleaning the armor by painting it black.
