Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 503 Surrounded
"Strong bioelectric currents have been detected."

On the Moniah, the first mate who had been sitting in the captain's room staring at the monitoring screen immediately reported the news to Mance on the deck.

The professor who received Mans's call in the monitoring headset immediately said, "It must be Ye Sheng's 'Word Spirit·Snake'. In the last report, they said that they suspected that Lu Mingfei's diving suit was found in an underwater cave air chamber. They must have found Lu Mingfei and are using the 'Snake' to contact us. Notify all rescue ships to use monitoring equipment to track the direction of the bioelectric current!"

Mans's orders were quickly passed down, and everyone's actions were swift and silent.

Soon, the monitoring windows on most ships captured abnormal electrical signals below 200 meters in water depth. The location was very close to the No. cave of the "Eye of Kuimen" discovered by Lu Mingfei and Yaji. This made Mans more certain that this was the rescue signal sent by Ye Sheng to them.

"All ships, turn on the ship's VHF and try to establish a communication channel with the Snake's current!" Mance ordered.

The VHF-DSC modem was turned on, and the ultra-high-power transceiver on the Moniach, which had been modified by the equipment department, began to try to capture the abnormal bioelectric current underwater.

Mans knew that "Word Spirit·Snake" had such ability and was directly connected to the ship's VHF through ground wave transmission. This was why Ye Sheng was one of the best students in the executive department despite his young age, because "Word Spirit·Snake" was a word spirit born to excavate the remains of the dragon clan.

Even at a depth of several hundred meters under water, the bioelectric network it establishes can directly communicate with ships on the surface.

But unexpectedly, their communication request was rejected. The frequency of this electric current exceeded the acceptable frequency band of VHF. The VHF-DSC on-duty machine could not convert the received electrical signal into communication signal or sound...

It is like a letter sent back home by a traveler. The few words on the paper are just to report safety, without leaving any further words.

……

The departing "snake" brought a huge amount of information back to Zero's brain, and the ability of "Mirror Pupil" instantly began to analyze these complex electrical signals.

The electrical signal captured by the Mansmoniach was not from Ye Sheng, but from the "snake" copied by Zero's "Mirror Pupil". When the Mansmoniach detected a strong bioelectric current erupting at a certain point deep underwater, Zero also captured the situation on the river surface.

If the surrounding medium is water, Ye Sheng's spiritual words will naturally cover the Moniah.

However, Professor Mans obviously did not expect that there was such a silver tomb filled with air under the "Eye of Kuimen", and the movement efficiency of the "snake" in the air would be greatly reduced.

Ye Sheng is now exhausted, and his words are no longer able to cover such a large area.

But it was different from Ye Sheng. Because of the advantage of bloodline, even if it was the first time to use "Snake", Ling could easily push the snake's domain to a radius of more than 1,500 meters, far exceeding Ye Sheng's domain. In a few dozen seconds, her "Snake" had already swam through the entire silver palace.

The powerful analytical ability of the "Mirror Pupil" itself can quickly process the various complex information brought back by the "Snake", filter out useless information, select the effective information, and instantly model the internal structure of the entire palace in Zero's mind.

Just one person completed the work that only Ye Sheng and Selma could do with higher efficiency.

In some ways, Zero is probably a more suitable user of "Word Spirit·Snake" than Ye Sheng.

Refusal to contact the Moniach was also a deliberate act by Zero. This was done naturally to avoid unnecessary trouble and hide her words.

Zero opened his eyes, and the golden pupils in his eyes faded again, revealing his cold and arrogant ice-blue eyes again.

She already had a map of the Silver Tomb in her mind. Their current location was probably between the periphery and the center of the maze, and they were moving closer to the center.

Every path of life and death has been marked on the map in her mind. Ye Sheng is indeed outside the corridor separated from them by two walls, and after the maze structure has been changed, their current location is not far from the exit of the maze. If they continue to move forward, they will reach the exit in less than half an hour.

But she turned around, and immediately said to Lu Mingfei with a cold face, "Run."

Lu Mingfei's body was faster than his reaction, so he pulled Aki, whose reaction and body were slow, and ran in the opposite direction behind Ling.

Aki was still wondering what she had just held when Lu Mingfei suddenly grabbed her hand and ran away, with a dazed expression on her pretty face.

"Eh?!"

But after all, he was an elite student of Kassel College. After being offline for more than ten seconds, he immediately came to his senses, twisted his wrist to let go of Lu Mingfei's hand, and kept in the same line with Lu Mingfei.

"What happened?" Aki asked.

Zero, who was running in the front, said without looking back: "There's Deadpool ahead."

"Deadpool?"

Aki's voice was filled with surprise. She certainly remembered this kind of bloodthirsty predator. They were hybrids whose bloodline exceeded the critical blood value, and they became monsters that were neither human nor ghost. So far, most of the strange events that have occurred in human society are related to creatures like Deadpool.

While in Portugal, she also fought against a monster that was transformed into a snake-like Deadpool by Father Bernardo after being injected with dragon serum.

But why is Deadpool here...

"Really?" Aki asked.

"Probably." Ling replied. Because she was running at top speed while talking, her breathing sounded a little disordered.

Zero had no way of telling whether there was Deadpool ahead. She just felt that a "snake" was swimming around a group of things in the corridor ahead, and it was afraid.

The "snake" is not like a sickle-weasel like the "kama-weasel". The "kama-weasel" is a real monster, and the essence of the "Word Spirit Kama-weasel" is not to control these sickle-weasels, but to command them. When encountering an enemy that they cannot defeat, the "kama-weasel" will flee in panic out of biological instinct.

But "snakes" are different. They are just mimicry creatures made up of bioelectric currents in the user's mind. They do not have the emotions of real creatures, so there are not many things that can make "snakes" feel afraid.

There couldn't be other dragon creatures in this tomb that sealed the King of Bronze and Fire, so Zero could only conclude that the beings in front that made the "snake" uneasy were Deadpool. The pressure of bloodline would force these mimic creatures into chaos. Although she didn't know why Deadpool existed here.

Deadpool is not a difficult creature to deal with. With the skills of Ling and Lu Mingfei, it is enough to defeat Deadpool with mere physical combat. But Ling has no way to determine the number of Deadpools. If there are too many, it will be quite troublesome for them to deal with them.

Moreover, they didn't have any weapons at hand, and none of the three had a high-killing word spirit. The only diving bag with supplies was left at Ye Sheng's side. It would be better to save energy and turn around and go to one road. There is more than one road leading to the square.

The floor was muffled by the hurried footsteps, and the only sound in the quiet corridor was the footsteps of three people running. There was no unusual movement behind them.

However, Aki did not get away with it.

After all, she had gotten lucky not long ago because she had entered a "dead end" but nothing unusual had happened. However, not long after, a song mixed with dragon language coming from the depths of the maze almost put their entire team into a state of clairvoyance.

This is a very dangerous situation for carrying out a mission, because no one can guarantee that they will not do something very dangerous when in a state of clairvoyance.

A similar situation had occurred in the history of the Executive Department of Kassel College. It dates back to the end of the last world, when an executive team was investigating a large tomb complex in Egypt that was suspected to be left behind by Cleopatra. The team was attracted by the dragon characters on the walls of the ruins and attempted to take photos with a micro camera.

However, it was this action that made them read the words on the wall continuously, and then the whole team was inspired by the "Word Spirit Emperor", and a collective resonance occurred. In the end, the team members who fell into the spiritual vision state showed violent behavior regardless of enemy and friend, and finally the whole team was wiped out.

Aki and the others almost had a collective resonance at that time. Fortunately, Lu Mingfei's bloodline was high enough, and the dragon language did not affect him, which prevented their team from being in a more dangerous situation.

The diving spotlight shone into them and saw another fork in the road not far ahead, with a total of three roads.

Seeing that the fork in the road was just around the corner, Zero, who was running at the front of the team, no longer had to worry about whether Aki would see his golden eyes, and chose to use "Snake" again.

The domain of the Word Spirit spread out instantly, and countless snakes ran at the speed of light in all directions from her.

This kind of word spirit, which is usually only used for ruins exploration and similar to map navigation, was used in her hands to produce an effect similar to that of a combat radar.

As a detection word spirit, the "Snake" cannot accurately lock the enemy's position like the "Kamaweasel", but in such a vast area with complex roads, the "Snake" not only has the advantage of a larger area than the "Kamaweasel", but also has the advantage of a faster detection speed. Nothing in nature can exceed the speed of light, not even the Dragon King.

Just by roughly tracking the enemy's coordinates, Zero can determine in real time which way to go next.

The moment they stepped into the fork in the tunnel, the "snake" also brought back the information they detected. However, the electrical signal brought back by the "snake" this time made Ling stunned for the first time...

And just at that moment when she was stunned, she saw a hand suddenly stretched out from the corner of her eye.

The healthy wheat-colored, well-defined knuckles and slender fingers are probably very suitable for playing the piano. Even if you judge them with a hand-controlled eye, they are still quite good-looking. The arms have clear muscle lines, and it can be seen that the owner of this hand must have the habit of exercising regularly.

This hand blocked her face and grabbed another pale hand with no palm lines and sharp nails that looked like they had never been cut since birth. The hand stretched out into five claws and stretched straight towards her, just like the Nine Yin Bone Claws that Mei Chaofeng practiced in the TV series The Legend of the Condor Heroes, and it was so close to her face that only a thin line was left.

As Lu Mingfei exerted force with his wrist, the elbow of the pale hand twisted at an incredible angle, and the sound of bone fracture and sharp screams echoed in the quiet space.

"Thank you." Ling looked at Lu Mingfei who was blocking his way, lowered his head and said softly.

“It’s okay.” Lu Mingfei turned his head slightly, and Ling’s petite figure was reflected in his ignited golden eyes. “I wanted to ask you what happened, but being in a daze like this is not like you… It seems that there is no need to ask now.”

Zero nodded, his eyes slowly scanning the front: "Well... we are surrounded."

The reason why she was stunned just now was because of this reason... Not only did the pursuers behind them not stop chasing them. The "snake" that was swimming forward just touched the three forks in the road ahead, but was scared back by something.

Not one, two, three... More and more shadows gathered at the fork in the road ahead of them, staring at Lu Mingfei and the others from a distance with a rather oppressive force. Even the spotlight in Ling's hand could not penetrate this impenetrable wall of people.

They were whispering to each other in some ancient language... Although Lu Mingfei could not understand a word, just by the longing revealed in the voices of the dead, Lu Mingfei knew that what these people said was definitely not good.

When a group of gourmets encounter tempting food, what will they say?

No one knows why so many Deadpools suddenly appeared in this silver tomb... Clearly a few minutes ago, when Zero was using the "Word Spirit·Snake" to explore the maze, the roads here were still unobstructed and there was nothing unusual.

Could it be that there is some "snake" in this silver tomb that cannot penetrate the mechanism?
Zero thought.

Or... this is simply a trap. This mausoleum is deliberately luring them back the way they came in order to force them into a dead end?

Aki Jude was also frightened by the dark crowd. This was the first time she had seen such a large group of Deadpools. Before that, she thought the dozen or so snake-like Deadpools she had seen in Father Bernardo's basement were already a lot.

The number of Deadpools in front of us is obviously not something that can be described as a dozen or dozens.

Hundreds and thousands of Deadpools...it was as if they were the army that had always been here, guarding this mausoleum.

Lu Mingfei took a step forward and protected Ling and Jiude Aki behind him.

"Do you think we have room for negotiation?" Lu Mingfei asked.

This question was asked to Zero. He knew that Deadpool and his group of creatures had long lost their consciousness, and their actions were driven solely by their bloodthirsty instinct.

"I think it's difficult." Zero said.

"I think so too." Lu Mingfei was still talking nonsense to Ling at this time...mainly because apart from talking nonsense, he didn't know what to do now.

It was also the first time he had seen such a large group of Deadpools, probably more than the number of Snake Deadpools raised by the Eight Snake Families. Although the ones in front of him looked like the lowest level human Deadpools, their combat power was obviously not as good as those Snake Deadpools that had already shown dragon transformation characteristics.

But they don't have any weapons at hand now. Even when he was fighting Deadpool with Liu Miaomiao in the imperial subway, he still had an iron rod in his hand.

Why is there no sign of Lu Mingze at this time... ?
Lu Mingfei thought to himself.
