My name is Lu Mingfei, not Lu Mingfei!

Chapter 68 66. Dragon Servant (1)

China, Yangtze River.

Tonight was a rare heavy rain. It was as if a hole had been opened in the sluice in the sky. The rain fell violently, making the decks crackle. All the ships were docked to take shelter from the wind. Only the tugboat Monyach was still swaying in the wind and rain. Like duckweed, xenon lights sway on the river surface.

This is a secret operation of Kassel College, codenamed Kuimen Project, named after the place. One of the mixed-race families from China, the Cao family helped the college obtain the right to block the river tonight. Until dawn, no unrelated personnel will appear nearby.

Professor Mans Rundstedt, who was also the captain of the Monyach, was sitting in the cab with a headset to listen. A splash of rainwater splashed on the window in front of him. The strong wind made this sudden scene unexpected. The coming rain became more and more dangerous.

But the more this happens, the more this action cannot be stopped. The awakening of the Dragon King is often accompanied by the distribution of elemental turbulence, including but not limited to storms, thunder, lightning, ice, snow and even earthquakes. Extremely rare heavy rain may not be a natural phenomenon, it may also be that the target has already A self-defense mechanism arising from perceived danger.

This is the bank of the Yangtze River to the west of Qutang Gorge, also known as Kuimen. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and changed the name of the country to a new one. General Gongsun Shu swept away the bandits in Yizhou with high spirits and white robes. At that time, there was an ancient well in the city, which often emitted white gas, like a white dragon. There was even a real dragon leaping out of the well and occupying the mansion. Gongsun Shu used it to proclaim himself emperor, and the city he dominated was named Bai. Imperial City.

In Chinese history books, Gongsun Shu was entrenched in Shu, and fought many battles with Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu. It was not until the Grand Sima Wu Han raised an army to attack that he finally broke through. Gongsun Shu's entire family died.

In the history of the dragon clan, this story is completely different. Gongsun Shu did see the real dragon, the king of bronze and fire, the first generation directly from the black king Nidhogg, one of the four noble monarchs. One, Norton. It was with the help of the dragon clan that Gongsun Shu was able to sweep across Shu in a short period of time. The Wu Han who defeated him belonged to the mixed-blood Wu family in ancient China. Despite the emperor's help, the Wu family still paid the price of almost annihilating three generations before defeating the dragon clan behind Gongsun Shu, so that this During the Three Kingdoms War at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this mixed race completely disappeared from history and is no longer recorded.

Thousands of years have passed by in a blink of an eye. The Baidi City of that year has long since submerged under the Yangtze River. New Baidi City has been built repeatedly around Kuimen in all dynasties. The most recent one was also submerged during the construction of the Three Gorges Reservoir. Now only Went to Baidi Temple. That secretive past seemed to have faded away over time, until Cassel College recently obtained precise information again. The cocoon left by Norton before his death was probably still among the ruins of the ancient Baidi City, and the Kuimen plan was finalized. .

On the big screen, two green light spots flashed continuously, representing the two young hearts, Ye Sheng and Shu De Aki, who were currently located 90 meters underwater.

But according to previous sonar detection information, the water bottom here is only about 50 meters vertically deep. In other words, they have reached a deeper place below the rock formation.

There had just been an earthquake underwater, and the communication signals between each other were interrupted for a minute. If it weren't for the heartbeat monitoring equipment that was still operating, Mance would have thought that the two outstanding young people had left him forever.

"Ye Sheng, Jiude Aki, report your situation!" Mance called repeatedly.

"If you see a wall, you can't see the end up, down, or left, and you can never reach the border, what is it?" A calm voice sounded in the headset.

"Ye Sheng!" Professor Mansi asked happily, "Where are you? I show that our depth is 90 meters underwater! Is there something wrong with the equipment?"

"That wall is called death. Of course, it may also be the city of the Dragon King." Ye Sheng said, "This is Ye Sheng. There is no problem with Aki and I. We have arrived at the palace of Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire."

Deep under the water, Ye Sheng and Ya Ji held each other's hands tightly, raised their heads and looked upward. The spotlights on the heads of the diving suits were lost in the dark green.

Baidi City has been built and re-located countless times over the course of thousands of years, but it has never surpassed its original appearance. The Baidi City built under the leadership of the Dragon Clan is actually a city made entirely of bronze. Now it is sleeping at the bottom of the sea. Standing in front of it is like facing a huge bronze wall that stretches out infinitely. The mottled traces and the decoration of human faces tell the ancient past. Those blackened traces indicate that it is sinking into the river. Baidi City had suffered the baptism of war before the end, and the legends in history were engraved by the speechless antiquities into a reality visible to the naked eye.

Ye Sheng released his speech spirit, and his consciousness dispersed into thousands of invisible little snakes, swimming along the outer wall of the Bronze City, looking for possible entrances.

Yanling [Vacuum Snake] is not suitable for fighting, but it is more suitable for exploration than any member of the executive department. The little snakes whose consciousness is split are like ultra-precise sonar controlled by Ye Sheng, and those snakes themselves have invisible life. and sensual. Ye Sheng could feel that several snakes had successfully touched the entrance. It was very cold and humid inside. What was even more surprising was that there was still air there, but the snakes did not dare to come close. They just swam far away, no matter Ye Sheng No matter how you order them, they won't move forward.

This was an extremely rare phenomenon. Ye Sheng lost control of the snakes, and soon the wandering snakes left there on their own initiative and returned to Ye Sheng's consciousness.

Ye Sheng couldn't help but think of a knowledge point written in the textbook. It is said that targets above the Dragon King level will have the ability to protect themselves even when they are transformed into cocoons. They will release dragon power around themselves that interferes with the spirit of living creatures. , ordinary life forms will feel nauseated and dizzy when approaching the range and be persuaded to return, while hybrids will be suppressed by the bloodline. The higher the level of the bloodline, the more able they are to resist this kind of mental interference.

Ye Sheng is an outstanding commissioner of the Executive Department. He and Shude Aki are both of A bloodline. If there is something in there that can interfere with the release of the spirit of the A-level commissioner, the only possibility is the Dragon King himself. In other words, Norton's cocoon is indeed in the Bronze City. It has sensed the danger and is actively protecting itself.

"Are you sure?" Professor Mance asked.

"Professor, if you were here to see all this with your own eyes, you would also believe that this is Norton's palace." Ye Sheng said, "But the problem is that I can't find a way to get in. The snake reported that it found the entrance, but I All you can see here is a bronze human face with sharp teeth.”

To say it has a human face is probably a compliment. There is no way there is such a ferocious human face in the world. Judging from the facial bones and the huge mouth that opens to 180 degrees, it is more like a dragon personifying its own dragon face. Self-portrait.

Dragons look down upon humans, but they like the appearance of humans very much. Compared with the huge body, the human body is more convenient for interacting with the world. Therefore, the Norton Gongsun Shu faces is most likely the human version of Mr. Piao Piao. Having witnessed the miracle of a dragon turning into a human, the ancients of that era certainly respected the dragon.

However, judging from the ugliness of this bronze human face, Norton might be the extremely ugly type.

"You're not looking in the wrong place, that's a living thing." Although he didn't witness it with his own eyes, Professor Mance's rich knowledge allowed him to imagine the scene Ye Sheng was facing now, "That's a guard made by the Dragon Clan using once-living humans. The painful and ferocious appearance is caused by the struggle of living people when they are poured into bronze. Take out the jar of blood I gave you and offer it to the living beings, and the gates of the Bronze City will be opened."

The ampoule was carried on Shutoku Aki's body, and it contained half of the blood.

Using living beings as gate guards is a defense mechanism that weakens intruders. Intruders must be injured at this level to see the true face of the emperor. The lower the bloodline, the more blood must be sacrificed. . But there is something that can bypass this defense. Among the dragons' own power is a word spirit called [Solomon's Key], which can open all door-like things in the world, whether they are doors that exist in concepts, Or doors in the real world.

The secret party has such a member who holds the "Key of Solomon", but it is still a baby and cannot participate in such a dangerous action. The only way is for members of the executive department to take the baby's blood and use it to The dragon chants [Solomon's Key].

Shutoku Aki crushed the ampoule tube in the bronze human face's open mouth, and the ancient and mysterious dragon chanted the ancient and mysterious dragon text through the diving suit mask, although he didn't know whether this dead living thing could still be alive. Hear sounds.

The scattered blood did not spread in the water. They seemed to be attracted by some special ability and poured into the mouth of the bronze human face, receiving the offerings. The human face slowly closed its mouth, as if it was full. Want to take a break like that.

As its teeth closed one by one, the creaking sound of metal twisting came from the bronze walls above its head. Those seemingly tightly jointed bronze walls cracked a gap, getting bigger and bigger, and finally expanded to a diameter of More than one meter.

The entrance to the cave is surrounded by spikes that resemble the teeth of a bronze human face. They are as sharp as swords and look a bit like a trap. Ye Sheng guessed that if the blood someone just offered to the human face was not enough or the blood was not pure enough, then the entrance of the cave would also be Open, but when someone passes through, the hole will be immediately sealed and the person will be hanged inside.

He thought so because he saw traces of fabric, metal pieces, and things that looked like leather on some of the spikes. This showed that this was not the first time that the Bronze City had been opened in the past thousand years. Someone had been here before. As for the ending, it depends. You can probably guess these when you get to the entrance.

He couldn't help but be glad that he and Aki came with the power of word spirits, but even so, he couldn't completely rest assured.

"I'll go in first, and you can follow." Ye Sheng gently pulled Ya Ji behind him, and wormed his way into the hole like a fish.

The water flow suddenly accelerated at this moment, and Ye Sheng lost his balance. There seemed to be something pulling him deep inside the cave entrance, a strong attraction pulling him into the bottomless darkness.

There were spikes on both sides, and Ye Sheng didn't have any focus. Maybe there was something wrong with [Solomon's Key], and the living creature didn't need enough blood. It was still a trap, and he was about to die. The only thing he could be thankful for was that Ya Ji didn't come in.

He closed his eyes and felt that his body seemed to have lost any intuition. The tight feeling of the diving suit was gone, and the touch of the ventilator was gone. This was probably a sign that his body was completely crushed. The only thing left was the gentle flow of water. He allowed the feeling to flow as it carried him forward, allowing the current to lift him.

He stuck his head out of the water, and he could breathe again. Everything just felt like a weird dream, and now he was back to reality.

The information that Snake brought back before was indeed correct. The water flow did not flood the interior of the Bronze City. Ye Sheng boldly tried to open the mask. Sure enough, there was air. This showed that the interior of the Bronze City was not completely locked, but was connected to the outside. Linked channels.

This is a corridor, just like the city gate entering an ancient city. Ye Sheng shines the search light around, and the top of his head is completely empty. In the large space, there are countless bronze wares, round, surrounded by a sharp ring like The structure of the wolf teeth, they bite and rotate with each other, is like a mechanical disk that is running all the time.

Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire, controls fire among the four elements. It is said that he is the best at alchemy among the ancient dragon kings. Now it seems that he may be better at mechanism art. The entire Bronze City is entirely made of these bronzes. Gear driven.

There was a splash in the water behind him, and Jiudoku Aki also emerged from the water, and Ye Sheng pulled her up.

"I feel like I've died once." Shude Aki smiled bitterly. The hole seemed to open the door to another world. The moment you entered, you would be sucked in. It would definitely not be comfortable.

"I also hope that I won't have to pass by that kind of place when I go back." Ye Sheng smiled, "Open the black box. We have to record everything we see here."

The power of the search lights of both people was turned on to the maximum, so as to explore the boundaries of this bronze city. Every step they took, the footsteps would reverberate, the gears slowly rotated and made a creaking sound. Jiudoku Aki felt that he and Ye Sheng was like two tiny ants who stumbled into a large mechanical dial factory.

The deeper they went, the more surprised they were at the grandness and complexity of this bronze city. The ancient dragon clan had mastered such wonderful skills many years ago. It was hard to imagine how the hybrids of that era could invade a city guarded by living beings. Bronze City, to attack Gongsun Shu's army and Norton, the sacrifices made were more than a thousand.

"Stop!" Ye Sheng suddenly shouted, veins popping up on his forehead.

Shuode Aki was startled. She was about to ask why, but suddenly she understood where Ye Sheng's abnormality came from.

None of them continued to act, but the surrounding space was still echoing, that was the footsteps of the third person! This person had just maintained an amazing consistency with them, so none of them noticed it. Until the moment Ye Sheng released the Vacuum Snake, he was suppressed by blood. The snakes gathered around him, but they didn't dare to Move an inch around.

Ye Sheng pointed the searchlight forward, and in the cold silver light, there seemed to be an invisible ghost standing.

There are fragments of Chinese mixed-races in this chapter. This is because after Dragon 3, the plots of 4 and 5 are a bit random, so 3 will basically not follow 45. Chinese mixed-races will be the group that appears in the 4th part. This is a preview.
