Dragon Clan: Retired Death, goes to work to slay dragons.

Chapter 167 Say Hi

The Nautilus took advantage of Jiang Shouyun to restrain the Overlord Squid and moved quickly. Finally, after crossing a coral forest, the ancient city spread out like a picture below.

A simple yet strangely beautiful scene gradually appeared at the end of the three people's field of vision.

They finally knew what was going on.

In the past 50 years, the largest glacier breakup event in the Arctic has formed a giant iceberg with an area of ​​about 260km.

It was a huge, almost transparent iceberg. The entire city seemed to be frozen by the iceberg, thus remaining immortal in the sea water for tens of millions of years.

Only the corroded and slightly dilapidated bronze tower seemed to be gradually exposed due to the melting of the iceberg.

The Nautilus cruises above this submarine iceberg, as if looking at a beautiful and slightly blurry picture. The aesthetics it displays have been completely frozen in ice.

Even if you can't see the whole thing, you can still see its majesty.

"That's... the city under the sea?" Fingel murmured blankly, "Atlantis? Atlantis frozen in the iceberg?"

Caesar recalled all the civilization relics in the world, but never thought of such a magnificent architectural style. He was almost overwhelmed by the ancient elegance and majesty.

The "Nautilus" passed by the side of the tower, and they had opened all the observation windows, so the view at this moment was almost 360 degrees.

You can clearly see the "picture" of the glacier and the complex relief patterns on the tower.

Chu Zihang made sketches on paper, drawing the appearance of the city, copying the reliefs and the words.

Those seem to be hieroglyphics, the words and reliefs are connected into one, as if they are composed of snake-like curves, like a ferocious beast, entwining the columnar tower.

"Is that the word for dog crawling?" Fingel broke the dead silence.

"It's better to respect him." Chu Zihang replied, "The dragon crawls."

He has copied the general shape of the giant tower, and has some guesses about the function of the giant tower.

The Dragon Clan is used to recording wars on pillar-shaped objects that stand in the open air. They record glory when they win and record hatred when they lose.

Also, another purpose of the tower is execution.

The dragon tribe is accustomed to nailing sinners to towers to dry. It takes hundreds of years to dry a dragon. During these hundreds of years, the criminal dragon is endlessly humiliated by all the tribesmen.

Chu Zihang seemed to hear hoarse moans, like ghosts in hell bleeding and salivating.

Presumably, this giant tower must be stained with the blood and humiliation of dragons.

"Don't complain at this time." Caesar's tone was a little helpless, and he connected to the channel and said, "Professor Schneider, did you see it?"

"I saw a huge tower engraved with dragon inscriptions and an ancient city frozen in ice. Norma is saving and analyzing the videos and pictures you sent back."

Schneider's tone was indifferent, but one could hear the solemnity in it: "What you have to do now is to take pictures of this historic site from different directions. This is the first time we have seen the ancient city of the Dragon Clan so intuitively."

"However, judging from the oxygen level, you can still be active underwater for 30 minutes. The most important task is to find the entrance to the ancient city and determine whether there is a dragon and its status at this time."

Caesar drove the Nautilus while cruising, trying to record the entirety of the ancient city.

However, when he glanced at the image of the sonar system, his wandering eyes suddenly stopped.

He rubbed his eyes, then smiled bitterly and said: "There is good news and bad news."

"Say." Schneider said.

"The good news is that it should still be sleeping. The bad news is..." Caesar looked at the signal from the sonar and said softly, "This big guy may be bigger than we thought."

Seawater is undoubtedly an excellent medium for sound, and sound waves are a powerful tool for underwater exploration.

However, the sound signal returned by the sonar from the iceberg has a lot of clutter, as if the ancient city frozen in the ice is beating its heart regularly.

Yes, the whole iceberg is shaking slightly.

If you listen carefully, you can hear a dull voice.

Boom, boom, boom...

Its rhythm is so strong and distinct, like the tattooed barbarians beating the drum to declare war on the ancient battlefield. Caesar was involuntarily attracted to it.

"Heartbeat." Chu Zihang said softly, "This is the heartbeat of an ancient dragon."

He was familiar with the rhythm of the heartbeat, but he had never heard such a strong heartbeat.

The thing with this heartbeat is obviously some kind of large creature.

Although it is impossible to judge its size, what kind of heartbeat can cause such a huge iceberg to resonate?
Caesar felt his liver tremble just thinking about it.

The hundred-meter-long overlord squid, in front of it, is at most a gatekeeper.

At this time, in the central control room, the image was displayed on the big screen.

"..." Looking at the magnificent frozen ancient city, Schneider also fell into a brief silence.

He was one of the few people in the academy who had the most exposure to dragon antiquities, but he still felt inexplicably shocked before such a strange scene.

The entire submarine can only see one side of the iceberg, so it can only see one side of the ancient city.

but……

What a well-maintained relic of the Dragon Clan civilization.

The commissioners behind Schneider looked a little excited and nervous, excited, frightened, excited, and incredible.

This is a huge breakthrough from zero to one for the entire mixed race.

If they can really step into the frozen ancient city, it will be no less than Neil Alden Armstrong's small step on the moon in the "Apollo-11" spacecraft.

click!

Schneider lit a cigar, held it in his mouth and took a deep breath. The strong spiciness and nicotine squeezed the remaining vitality in his lungs, but only this excessive behavior could keep him calm.

As a commander, he must remain calm.

Schneider connected to another encrypted channel and said in a low and hoarse voice: "We found an ancient dragon city frozen in ice 500 meters below the Greenland Sea, and...a sleeping ancient dragon."

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

But Schneider heard the slight sound of muscles and bones.

He could even imagine the old man clenching the folding knife in his hand, with veins showing on the back of his hand, like a warrior hearing the horn of war.

"Can you determine the level of the target?" Angers' gentle voice came, "The first generation species, the second generation species? Or the little thing after four or five generations?"

"The only thing that is certain is that it is not an adult dragon, but an embryo of a dragon." Schneider glanced at Norma's analysis report and said bluntly, "The threat level can only be confirmed after successful hatching." "It can be expected that it will still have more. How long will it take to hatch?" Angers asked.

"Two years... no, within one year, at least one year, it will be safe." Schneider paused and said conservatively, "Its heartbeat is slowly getting stronger, the degree of incubation is getting higher and higher, and it will break out of the shell. It's only a matter of time before it comes out."

"That is to say, it is an unknown quantity. She may develop into a girl with concave and convex shapes, or she may become a high-risk target at the level of an ancient dragon."

Angers' thoughtful voice came, as calm and calm as ever: "The luckiest thing is that it won't break through the ice in the next second."

"Yes." Schneider paused, "However, we can't find the 'door', and the oxygen level does not support their continued mission."

"Oh, that's really bad news."

The other end of the phone pondered for a moment and said, "Although the opportunity is rare, now that we have located that city, we will still have the opportunity to prepare to completely dive in to solve the problem of embryos in the future."

"Then let's say hello first... Ha, it's rare that the equipment department's stuff comes in handy."

Soon, Caesar received the order conveyed by Schneider, and the Nautilus, which was moving slowly, approached the side of the iceberg.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but the moment the submarine passed by, something knocked on the shell of the Nautilus and made a dull sound.

No, not right.

Buzz! !

The huge body covered with black and blue scales roared past the submarine.

It was the overlord squid. It stretched its body in the sea, its majestic tentacles raised upward, and its huge mouth opened.

Invisible sound waves came from the mouth, causing slight ripples in the sea water.

Bang! !

The next second, blue-black electric light floated on Jiang Shouyun's body, and his red-gold eyes flashed with blue electric light.

The muscles of the body under the diving suit were slightly bulging, and the knotted muscles were exposed to the cold sea water, and the thick layer of water condensed under his feet shattered.

The moment the figure disappeared from the spot, harsh explosions sounded in the water, and the roaring roar was like a charging giant beast.

The dark blade was carried on the back, with Jiang Shouyun's body as the fulcrum. Power rose from the feet, passed through the waist, and poured into the strong arms like a tide, pouring into the fierce weapon glowing with black light.

The pitch-black blade seemed to begin to extend. It was an invisible blue electric light, and its sharpness revealed the brilliance of choosing and devouring people.

Amidst the spray of water flying all over the sky, the knife struck out, creating a full moon-like electric light in the sea and slashing towards the heart of the squid.

Jiang Shouyun, who passed by several tentacles, did not stop, quickly turned around and stepped on the squid's tentacles, the sword light rose and fell like a circular dance.

The black blade cut through the blue-black scales, and the light that burst out was like iron trees and silver flowers. No blood flowed out, because the person who made this cut was extremely fast, like an illusory stream of light. Even life and death were slower at this moment. Half a point!

The next moment, Jiang Shouyun and the cuttlefish passed by each other, the illusory figures solidified, and the tooth-piercing cut sounded through the sea water.

Red blood rose into the sky, like a bloody wave, and the huge body still maintained the posture of tentacles rushing forward.

The one in the center of the three hearts was neatly broken into two halves starting from the midline, and dispersed in the water with rising blood mist.

"Huh!" Jiang Shouyun exhaled a breath of hot miscellaneous breath, turned around to look at the overlord squid and said calmly, "One."

On the other side, Fingel and the other two happened to see this scene.

"Why do you feel that he is getting stronger and stronger?" Fingel scratched his head.

This guy can always refresh other people's estimates of his combat power.

At the same time, the squid was rolling crazily due to severe pain and rage. This time he was not in a hurry to attack. The only five remaining tentacles were arched, looking down at the guy who cut off two of his hearts in just a few fights.

As a creature with intelligence, it knows that this state of the opponent cannot last forever, and every second that time passes is beneficial to itself.

However, Jiang Shouyun had no interest in continuing to waste time with it.

The long knife was slashed sideways on his body, and in the next moment, a black arc shadow cut across the sea water, accompanied by water foam rising to the sky, covering Jiang Shouyun's figure.

The squid reacted almost instantly, turning its vigorous tentacles quickly, and the huge tentacles suddenly slapped, like pieces of floorboards flipping up, trying to interfere with the human's advance.

Just as the tentacle was twisting and turning and about to be photographed, Jiang Shouyun stepped on it with both feet, and a dark stream of light rushed towards the middle of its body.

The muscles in his arms swelled to the extreme. The sword was placed horizontally by his side, and he swung the long sword with an indomitable momentum. The black crescent moon in front of him represented the pinnacle of strength and skill.

There was a hint of human panic in the huge golden eyes, and he suddenly opened his huge mouth, spitting out dark yellow and smelly venom.

It's true that the speed of its tentacle rotation can't keep up, but its corrosive venom can keep up!

But it obviously forgot one fact.

Jiang Shouyun's face remained calm as he looked at the corrosive venom that was gradually approaching him, as if to drown him.

"Beasts will be beasts after all." Jiang Shouyun looked into those huge golden pupils with an expressionless face, "It seems that the pain caused to you by those few swords was not enough."

The super strong nerve reflex speed makes the world in his eyes slow when fighting, let alone in the deep sea where the speed slows down several times.

Just when the nearest venom was only one meter away from his face, he suddenly stepped down with his feet and quickly rose up to avoid the venom by a hair. The squid's rotating tentacles missed him due to the sprint. And passed.

Jiang Shouyun stretched his body in the sea, dark blue electric light wrapped around his body, and the lightning surrounding him became more intense, turning into a huge thunder blade and slashing down!

Even the squid, a monster with extremely weak eyesight, seemed to be shocked by the light. It let out a silent roar from its long mouth but involuntarily shrank back.

The knife almost ignored its hard scales and extremely tough skin, and cut a huge gash under its neck. The thick, fishy blood mixed with strong acidic venom leaked out like a waterfall.

Jiang Shouyun's eyes narrowed involuntarily.

The knife had almost cut off the squid's body.

But he still dodged as fast as possible, but did not pull out the knife from the squid's body.

The acid still stuck to his clothes, and they were quickly corroded by the acid visibly to the naked eye.

"Caesar!" His pupils were as bright as burning and he said, "Don't tell me that you can't hit the target."

Bang! !

The golden spiritual arrow passed over Jiang Shouyun's shoulder, instantly pierced the cuttlefish's broken body, and accurately hit its exposed heart.

The heart exploded directly, and a strong fountain of blood spurted out from the fracture. The tentacles twisted wildly, and finally gradually became weak.

In the distance, Caesar put down the white long bow in his hand. The pain in his fingers made him wave his hand away, but he paused as if nothing had happened when Jiang Shouyun looked over.

"I don't want to be dragged to the shooting range to practice archery when I get back." Caesar's tone was like a child who was waiting for praise from his parents but felt a little awkward.
