(Congratulations, Book Friend 20170429160217484 for becoming the new leader of this book)
After arriving at this island, Shen Lang did not rush to go underground but observed from above.
It had been more than a month and a half since the Black Death Bomb was thrown, so all the viruses on the island had died out.
To a certain extent, this island was very similar to the Nirvana Island that Shen Lang had been on before. It was surrounded by dense forests, and there were no docks at all. Just by looking at the surface, it was impossible to see any secret base inside.
Furthermore, the island was surrounded by submerged reefs, and ships that had a slightly deeper draft could not even get close.
If not for the hot air balloon, it would be impossible to discover the secret base on this island. Even if they accidentally discovered it, they would not be able to attack it and would definitely die before even getting close.
"There are no longer any living creatures on this island. They were already gone before we carried out the extermination attack," Hila said. "I don't know the reason."
Shen Lang went deep into the middle of the island and saw this secret base. It was surrounded by a wall with a circumference of less than 1,500 meters and a height of about eight meters. However, it was shockingly thick, and it was all made of huge rocks. The thinnest part was more than five meters, and the thickest part was more than eleven meters.
The thickness of this wall was something that even Shen Lang's new grenade cannons could not blast through. Previously, the Zhu Family had used more than a thousand people to defend this secret base, and it could be said to be impregnable.
"Originally, there were dozens of giant crossbows on these walls, the kind that can shoot two to three thousand meters and explode. However, they were all destroyed by them and did not leave any for us," Hila said. "And their bows and arrows can also shoot more than a thousand meters away. Therefore, if not for the Black Death Bomb, even ten thousand Amazon troops would not be able to take down this secret base if we attacked normally. "
This was very scary. Shen Lang only had eight thousand Amazon troops. Under normal circumstances, they could not even take down a secret base of the Zhu Family, let alone those transcendent forces.
"However, they also destroyed those special bows and arrows, not leaving a single one for us," Hila said. "There are also special boots that can allow you to jump more than ten meters high and more than twenty meters away," Hila said. "They've also destroyed all of them. After we attacked this secret base, we didn't get anything."
After opening the thick door, Shen Lang entered the secret base.
He was immediately attracted by the dozens of statues and could not help but ask, "Great Grandmaster Hong Nian, did these statues exist when you were here?"
The executioner Hong Nian, who was also the illegitimate son of the Zhu Clan, Zhu Yao, replied, "There is."
There were many people with the same name in this world. King Wu was called Wu Qi, while Ning Yuanxian's uncle was called Ning Qi. The Marquis of Western Garrison was called Zhong Yao, and this illegitimate son was called Zhu Yao. However, this was also very normal. In ancient China, the rate of people sharing the same name was also very high, especially during a certain period of time when people liked to name themselves with the same character, such as Huang Zhong, Zhao Zhong, Han Zhong, etc. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty couldn't stand having the same name, so he tried his best to use rare words. He even created words that didn't exist. For example, Zhu Zhiyi, Zhu Enlong. If you can have the same name as me, then you're really something.
Shen Lang looked at the statues carefully. The reason why he felt strange was because the statues were not tall at all. They were only about two meters tall.
Generally speaking, all statues liked to be tall, and these dozens of statues were almost the same size as a real person. Not only that, the key point was that they were too realistic. It was as if a living person had instantly turned into a fossil. This could not help but remind Shen Lang of the legend of Queen Medusa. Anyone who saw her would have their eyes turned into stone.
Shen Lang scanned the entire bodies of these statues with his X-ray eyes and was shocked by what he saw. Although the inside of these statues was also made of stone, the internal structure was very complete. There was a skeleton, internal organs, and even a brain.
This, this really wasn't a statue but a fossil of an ancient person. As everyone knew, only bones could become fossils. The flesh and internal organs would rot. And these dozens of statues were actually complete fossils. Could it be that they really turned into stone in an instant? This was simply too inconceivable.
In this secret base, there was also a pagoda. However, after some observation, Shen Lang determined that the history of this pagoda was only a few thousand years. It was not an ancient building. Someone must have discovered the statues on this secret island and built this pagoda here.
"The secret base is underground. Enter from here," Hila said. "This entrance door should have been built by the Zhu family. We blew it open."
Walking along the deep stairs, Shen Lang entered the interior of the secret base.
There were dozens of caves on both sides of the passage, and there were beds and all kinds of resources in them. It was obvious that the scholars of the Zhu family had conducted research in these underground caves, and these caves were dug out from the back.
In just a few minutes, they reached the end of the passage. There was a large hall that was not more than a hundred square meters in size.
The floor was covered with snow-white marble, and even the surrounding walls were made of white marble. The interior was as bright as day.
It was not luminous pearls, nor was it candles. Instead, it was countless mirrors that reflected the sunlight from outside. Therefore, not only was the hall bright, but it was also very clear and beautiful.
Shen Lang observed for a long time and came to a conclusion. This was not an ancient ruin.
He had seen some ancient ruins before, and the smallest one was the one belonging to the Sand Barbarian Tribe. It was about a few dozen square kilometers. The ancient ruin that Stupa Mountain found in the southern sea was incomparably huge. As for its exact size, Shen Lang did not know, but it could be more than a thousand miles wide. It was completely an underground city that was submerged in the sea.
And this place in front of him was really too small. It should just be a stronghold of the ancient world.
"Behind this door in front of us is the ancient secret chamber. Before the warriors of the Zhu Clan died, they locked all of their belongings in the secret chamber." "It's this door that we tried everything we could not open. It is not even damaged in the slightest."
Not only those secret weapons, but also the heaven-defying killing machine that the scholars of the Zhu family had mentioned was also in this secret chamber.
Shen Lang came to this door and carefully observed it. It looked like an ordinary stone door, and it was as smooth as jade.
However, even after using a few hundred kilograms of TNT and more than a hundred kilograms of thermite, it was still completely useless.
Shen Lang used his X-ray eyes to scan it, but the result was nothing. This was also normal, because at the entrance of the ancient ruin in the southern sea, that kind of dark stone could not even be scanned by Shen Lang's X-ray eyes.
Not only that, this door did not have any buttons or mechanisms, and there were no screens or words.
If he wanted to open it, he did not even have the slightest clue.
The only clue was the statue that was kneeling in front of the door.
This was another statue of an ancient warrior. He was kneeling on the ground, motionless, and his expression was deep and carried a faint hint of pain.
Shen Lang used the X-ray to scan his body, and just like the people outside, he was also a human fossil, with bones and petrified internal organs.
Then, Shen Lang tried everything he could, but he could not open the door of the secret chamber.
Using light, using the energy of the Nightmare Stone to stimulate it, the door of the secret chamber did not have any reaction.
Using violent methods could not open the door, and using intelligent methods could not lead to any clues.
Previously, the entrance of the ancient ruin on Black Rock Island was opened by using the four-color theory to form a complete map of the planet.
And the ancient ruin in the Sand Primitive Race was about the arrangement of prime numbers.
Although these questions were rare enough to make people feel despair, at least there was one question for you to solve, and the door in front of him did not respond at all.
This further proved that this was not an ancient ruin, but an ancient stronghold. Therefore, the password to open this door would be relatively simple. It would not be a thousand-year problem, but it would still be full of randomness.
"Give it to me!" Shen Lang said.
Hila put a special thing on the ground. Shen Lang turned the switch, and the device immediately released a special blue light.
This should be the ultraviolet light of this world. Instead of using electricity, it used the Nightmare Stone. He had seen it in two places. The first was Princess Ji Ning's room, and the second was in the room of the Queen's Palace in the Western World.
Princess Ji Xuan and Queen Medusa had both used this thing to create a sterile room.
The door in front of him was very clean. From the naked eye, there seemed to be no traces left. However, the scholar of the Zhu Clan had also said that the family leader and young master could open it, so they must have left traces on this door. If it was blood, then no matter how clean it was, it could still be exposed by ultraviolet light.
However, this hall was too bright.
"Can you turn off the light source in the hall?" Shen Lang asked.
"Yes," Hila said. Then, she walked to the next room and turned a dozen or so mechanisms. Immediately, all the mirrors were turned off, and the entire hall fell into darkness.
This time, the ultraviolet light shone clearly. There were indeed traces of blood on the door of this secret room, but they were very, very faint and messy. It was impossible to see what exactly was drawn.
Now, Shen Lang could conclude that in order to open the door of this secret room, he had to draw some pattern or write some word on it.
"Turn on the light source," Shen Lang said.
A moment later, the entire hall was as bright as day again.
Shen Lang walked in front of the ancient human statue in front of the door and carefully observed his face. Unfortunately, his eyes were closed at this time, or else more details would have been revealed.
Was he meditating in this posture? No.
Looking at the shape of his mouth, he seemed to be silently chanting something.
The moment before he turned into a fossil, he was still silently chanting, but what was he chanting now?
Shen Lang recorded his face and put it into the artificial intelligence system for analysis. Very soon, the artificial intelligence system gave a few answers.
The words this ancient human said before he died might be: You, Right, You, You …
Some of the highest probability was about sixty percent.
If there was a word, then this word was not the key, but the word after it was the key. However, he was already dead and did not say the word after it.
What was the word after it? Regret?
If this person was silently chanting the Book of Changes, then the probability of it being regret was super high.
Moreover, this ancient human's face seemed to be in pain, as if he was struggling in pain. In the end, he did not make any decision, and then the great destruction came directly, turning them into stone.
Of course, this was just Shen Lang's imagination based on the scene in front of him.
Shen Lang slightly cut his finger and then wrote the word 'regret' on the door.
In the end, there was still no reaction from the door. It did not open at all. Could he have guessed wrongly?
Shen Lang looked at the statue again and found that there was a cut on its wrist. When he looked at its fingers, there were also traces of cuts.
But the two cuts were different. The cut on the finger was there before it turned into a fossil, while the cut on the wrist was made by someone later.
This further confirmed Shen Lang's conjecture that this ancient human had indeed used blood to write on this door.
The people of the Zhu family also found these traces and also used their own blood to write on the door, but found that it was useless. So they cut the wrist of the ancient human statue and tried to use his blood.
However, this ancient human had already turned into stone, so his blood was no exception.
Shen Lang used a sharp knife to cut a hole on the wrist of the ancient human statue, found the position of the blood vessels, and dug out some of the fossilized blood powder. Then, he gritted his teeth and poured ten milliliters of blood for himself, mixing it with the fossilized blood powder of the ancient human.
Suddenly, a strange scene appeared. Shen Lang's blood turned from red to gold.
It was not gold, but pure gold, the same color as gold. Upon closer inspection, it was not gold, but the color of sunlight, reflecting different light from different angles.
F * ck, what … what's going on? Did I have a chemical reaction with this ancient human? I don't want to!
However, Shen Lang did not care about this. He directly used his finger to stand on the blood that was emitting sunlight and wrote a big 'regret' on the door of the secret room!
Then …
The moment to witness a miracle had arrived. The countless mirrors in the hall all changed directions, and countless rays of sunlight shone on the center of the Lost Door.
Hundreds of rays of light condensed into one, and this pillar of light was so bright that people could not open their eyes.
Rumble … The door of the secret room began to spin, and then it opened directly.
Success!
She went forward and hugged Shen Lang's neck. "My dear brother, the power of wisdom is indeed invincible."
Shen Lang smiled. Actually, it was not difficult to open the door of this secret room at all.
After all, this was only an ancient foothold, so the password to open the door was not as difficult as it was to open an ancient ruin. All of them were puzzles that had existed for thousands of years.
Of course, it was also because of this that this door had been opened before!
… …
Previously, Shen Lang had wondered if the so-called secret weapon of the Zhu family was the metal hydrogen that he had seen in the Western world.
This thing was not only a superconductor, but also a top-level energy storage. Once it exploded, the power would be more than forty times that of TNT. Although it was not comparable to a nuclear bomb, it was still extremely shocking.
After opening the door of the secret room, the first thing Shen Lang saw was this so-called secret weapon. It was hard not to see it.
Because it was too huge, more than thirty meters long and about a foot in diameter.
This … What the f * ck is this thing? Are you kidding me? This was clearly a gigantic arrow! However, Shen Lang could not imagine just what sort of bow would be required to shoot this arrow out!
Ancient humans, your thinking is too retro. Must you make this shape? It looks too backward.
However, Shen Lang quickly withdrew this thought because he found an incomparably complicated Nightmare Stone device at the end of the arrow. It was more than a meter in diameter and had a total of dozens of layers.
The entire tail of the giant arrow was more than five meters long, and it was a pentagonal Nightmare Stone device.
Shen Lang tried to use X-rays to scan the inside of the arrow, but it was still to no avail. X-rays could not penetrate the surface at all.
What material was on the surface of this giant arrow? Metal? Stone? Or was it something else?
He did not know. It was a material that Shen Lang had never seen before. Next, Shen Lang carefully began to destroy the arrow, and the result was completely undamaged.
Using the best steel sword, the sword broke, and not a single mark was left on the surface of the giant arrow.
Using a tungsten steel knife, it still broke. Using a diamond knife, there was still no mark on the surface of the giant arrow.
Then, Shen Lang found three words on the body of the arrow: Dragon's Regret!
"Is this the ultimate weapon of mass destruction?" Princess Hila asked.
"Yes, this is the ultimate weapon of mass destruction," Shen Lang said with a nod.
"What about its power?" Princess Hila asked.
Shen Lang said, "Do you still remember when we were in the Cursed Sea in the ruins of the Lost Nation, the underwater pyramid explosion?"
Of course, Hila remembered that it was that explosion that caused the Lost Demon Mother to explode into pieces. Not only that, the energy core under the Amazon pyramid was an incomparably large metallic hydrogen. Once it exploded, the entire Amazon tribe would be destroyed.
The size of this giant arrow of mass destruction was far smaller than the energy core of the Amazon pyramid. It was even smaller than the energy core of the small pyramid, but Shen Lang was sure that its power was far greater.
If Shen Lang's guess was not wrong, the secret base on this island was in service of this giant arrow of mass destruction. This was a strategic weapon.
Shen Lang could even make more connections. This ancient civilization was already facing a huge crisis, so they planned to use the arrow of mass destruction. However, the leader of this base did not use this weapon in the end and directly turned into stone.
Another bold guess was that ten thousand miles away from here was the Devil's Triangle, which was the territory of the Lost Ancient Empire.
The Lost Ancient Empire was ruled by Queen Medusa. In the ancient legends, Queen Medusa could directly turn people into stone with just one look.
Therefore, it could be guessed that this ancient civilization and the Lost Ancient Empire had a war. And this island was actually the frontier base of some Eastern Ancient Empire, used to launch strategic weapons.
The leader of this base had made a painful decision before he died, but in the end, he still could not bear to use this ultimate weapon of mass destruction.
Hila asked, "I only have one question. Can it help us win the upcoming war?"
"We won't need this weapon of mass destruction in the battle of Tianyue City," Shen Lang said. "But it might be useful in the next battle with Sky-sea Pavilion, provided that we can activate it. Plus, we don't even know how powerful it is."
"You're afraid that it's not powerful enough?" Hila asked.
"No, I'm afraid it's too powerful," Shen Lang said, shaking his head.
The Zhu family had used thousands of people and more than ten years, but they had not been able to control its power. And once they did, the consequences would be frightening.
Of course, even if the Zhu family could not decipher this arrow of mass destruction, Shen Lang might be able to, because he had the AI, and he had read many ancient books about the Nightmare Stone.
Hila suddenly said, "Right, why didn't the Zhu family transport this arrow of mass destruction away? Move it to their base for research. The price of building a secret base here is too high. "
"Someone, try to move this giant arrow," Shen Lang said.
Soon, hundreds of Amazonian female warriors rushed in, all of them using their strength.
"Up!"
More than a hundred people shouted at the same time, using all their strength.
However, this arrow of mass destruction did not move at all! This was too shocking. The combined strength of more than a hundred Amazonian female warriors was probably more than a few hundred thousand pounds, but they could not move this arrow at all.
The strategic missiles of modern Earth were only a few dozen tons, and a hundred Amazonian female warriors could move it easily.
Could this arrow be heavier than the strategic missiles of modern Earth? However, it didn't look that big. It was as thin and long as an arrow.
Very soon, Shen Lang discovered that the reason it could not be moved was not because this arrow was too heavy, but because of the strong magnetic force, firmly sucking the ground.
This magnetic force might be more than a few million pounds, so even a hundred Amazonian female warriors would not be able to move it.
But Shen Lang had to transport it back to the Raging Tide City, and leaving it here was too much of a problem.
Shen Lang observed for a while and found that this magnetic force was some kind of force field in the secret room, and he needed to find a place to close it.
… …
Hila said, "Then let's not care about this arrow of mass destruction for now. Let's look at the other secret weapons."
The other secret weapons were in another room of the secret room, and there was also a door that was tightly shut.
Shen Lang once again dipped his blood in the sunlight and was about to write the word 'regret' on the door.
He did not expect that the moment the blood touched the door, it would immediately open.
Then he took a deep breath.
He only had one thought in his mind at this time.
I'm rich, I'm rich!
This secret room was filled with all sorts of armors and hundreds of pairs of boots from the ancient civilization.
Not only that, there were also thousands of ancient civilization bows.
These were all nothing. What excited Shen Lang the most was that there were hundreds and thousands of Nightmare Stone devices. There were all kinds of them, and even Shen Lang could not recognize them all.
There were even a few boxes of weapons that Shen Lang did not recognize at all.
But no matter what, Shen Lang had really made a fortune!
… …
