Eight Hundred Bronze Soldiers
Éditeur: EndlessFantasy Translation
A vast arena lay beyond the stone door; the floor had been garnished with white marble trimmed on each end to form an octagonal shape.
In ancient times, construction of such scale in the absence of heavy machinery was almost a miracle; but what amazed Chen Xiaobei and Luo Puti were the eight hundred bronze soldiers that stood in the arena! They bore a stark resemblance to the Terracotta Soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, and appeared to have been buried together with the king.
Though ancient, their armor looked brand new; dried corpses lay within every set, each reminiscent of mummies. The skin and muscles of those remains were completely dried but their bodies did not have a hint of decomposition. What's more, their skin glistened with an ancient bronze; they were indeed copper corpses!
"This is amazing!" Luo Puti uttered in wide-eyed wonder.
"What? What did you find?" Chan Xiaobei asked.
