Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 509 Kuilong's Attack

The vortex formed by the river water rotating around the "Dust-free Land" was pushing them quickly towards the "Moniah".

The entire underwater cave of the Kuimen Eye had collapsed. From here, the Kuimen Eye behind had become very far away, and those huge sunken mountains and rock walls collapsed into small gravel in Lu Mingfei's field of vision, and the mysterious red light quickly shuttled through the gravel.

Where the red light flashed, the huge buildings were outlined behind the gravel, and endless metal lines stretched across the field of vision, making them look like a small boat trying to escape from an aircraft carrier.

"What is that?" Aki looked behind her and asked. She had obviously noticed the red light flashing in the murky waters after the mausoleum collapsed, and the huge building illuminated by the red light.

The water shield of the "Dust-free Land" was still moving forward, but everyone's eyes turned back because of Aki's words, and then they were also attracted by the red light that was moving rapidly in the water. The mud and the fragments of the mausoleum blocked their sight to explore deeper.

Lu Mingfei did not answer Yaji's question, but stared ahead solemnly. The scene in his field of vision was clearer than Yaji and the others. He saw the water in front of him surging and roaring, and a huge water vortex that seemed to be able to destroy everything was forming at the point where the Silver Mausoleum collapsed.

Fish, water plants, sand and soil on the bottom of the water, broken and disintegrated building fragments... Everything around the vortex could not escape and was hopelessly swept into the surrounding rapids. A huge matrix slowly emerged from the vortex, which was just a small corner of the bronze city.

The thousand-year-old seal of the Nibelungen Gate that locked Baidi City was broken, and the legendary palace of the King of Bronze and Fire appeared before the eyes of the world earlier than scheduled.

An ominous omen slowly crept up Lu Mingfei's back. He knew that this was the alchemical matrix of the Nibelungen connecting the Bronze City and the Three Gorges that was slowly being repaired. The Bronze City was passing through the "Nibelungen Gate", and the whole process would not take too long.

Is it because of my rebirth? Lu Mingfei thought.

Because of the butterfly effect brought about by his rebirth, Professor Mans and his team were supposed to discover the Bronze City in 2009, but it was discovered in 2007? The time point was advanced by a full two and a half years.

Mans, sensing something unusual around him, frowned and looked back. He really wanted to ask Aki and the others what they had discovered underwater and why they made such a big noise?
However, considering that they had just escaped from underwater, their thoughts were probably still in a mess. The most urgent task was to take them back to the Moniach for treatment and rest. These questions could wait until later.

But then, the expression on Mans's face suddenly froze, as if it was suddenly frozen by the extremely cold temperature.

Or maybe the entire Yangtze River was frozen, because the water shield formed by the "Dust-Free Land" suddenly stayed where it was and stopped moving forward.

The Yangtze River was certainly not frozen. Under normal circumstances, the water flow in the Three Gorges could be maintained at more than 7000 cubic meters per second. Even severe cold of more than degrees below zero would not freeze such a large amount of water in an instant.

What's more, the water vortexes around the "Dust-Free Land" are still rotating at high speed, with ripples forming layer by layer like glass poured by a rainstorm, and it doesn't look like it's frozen.

However, no matter how Mans opened the spiritual field of words that controlled the "Dustless Land", they were trapped there and could not move.

Aki next to him also noticed that the surrounding reference objects were not changing. They stopped moving forward and immediately turned sideways to ask Mans: "Professor, what happened?"

"Good question." Mance opened his hands and replied through gritted teeth. Veins popped out on his forehead. He had obviously used the alchemical field of the "Dustless Land" to rotate the surrounding water flow at the fastest speed. "I also want to know what happened."

"It's a whirlpool!" Selma finally saw what appeared at the location of the "Eye of Kuimen": "There is a huge whirlpool under the water that is dragging us back! It seems that something is coming out of the whirlpool!"

Selma didn't see clearly what was sticking out of the whirlpool, but she saw the red light flashing under the water slowly approaching them amid the thunderous sound... or rather, it was approaching very quickly. Because in the blink of an eye, the red light had teleported to a place only a few dozen meters away from them.

Selma finally saw that it was not a red line at all, but a huge monster, a...

……

"……dragon!"

On the Moniach, Guderian exclaimed as he looked at the images on the monitor.

He actually saw a dragon! A real dragon! Not only him, but everyone on the Moniach and the surrounding rescue ships saw the huge creature.

A huge, invisible pressure came from all directions.

In the dark water, the creature whose true appearance had only appeared in legends was stretching its bronze body section by section, twisting like a long metal whip. Its densely packed scales were glowing, and it had no horns. It was the "Kuilong" in Chinese mythology!
The so-called red light they had seen before was nothing more than a ball of fire brewing in the dragon's bloody mouth. Because the "Kuilong" moved so fast, the red flames were pulled into a line.

Guderian picked up the microphone used for communication and shouted to Mans: "Mans! Take Lu Mingfei and the others back to the ship! You are facing a dragon, and it may even be the legendary Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire! The Moniach is operating on the Yangtze River in the name of a scientific research vessel. We don't carry any high-lethal thermal weapons, so we are no match for it!"

"I'm not blind! I'm closer to that thing than you are!"

Mans also shouted to Guderian through the communication headset on his diving suit.

He had no time to be shocked by the sight of the dragon, because he discovered something even more fatal.

The fire brewing in that huge mouth was directed at himself!

"boom!"

A deafening explosion sounded from the bottom of the Yangtze River. The sound shock and huge air waves made the entire river surface tremble. The waves almost overturned the Moniach. Steam rose from the river surface like fog. It was the water vapor that evaporated in an instant when the dragon-like fire column was ejected.

The Moniach struggled to remain stable in the huge waves several meters high. Guderian, who was crawling on the ground, stood up with difficulty with the help of a chair. The surveillance screen in the captain's room had been completely obscured by the rising fog, and it was impossible to see clearly what had just happened.

"Mans?" Guderian tried to contact Professor Mans using the ship's microphone.

no respond.

Guderian was stunned for a moment: "Mans! Mans! This is the Moniach! Please reply if you get it! I repeat, this is the Moniach! Please reply if you get it!"

There was still no sound coming from the headphones. The boat microphone was like a tree hole in the mountains. It could only hide the secrets you wanted to tell it, but no matter what you said into it, you couldn't get a response from it.

Guderian sat down on the ground and wiped the water off his face. It was the waves that came into the cabin when the ship was shaking. He thought about Mance, Ye Shengya, Ji Selma and others, and Lu Mingfei, whom he had not known for long. Principal Angers had assigned him to Lu Mingfei as the future preparatory class instructor. After Lu Mingfei successfully entered Kassel Academy, he would most likely continue to be his professor. With Lu Mingfei's greatness, he would definitely become the most dazzling star student in Kassel Academy. When Lu Mingfei graduated safely, he would be able to be awarded the title of lifelong professor of the students...

He didn't know why he thought about the evaluation of tenured professors, but that was all he could think about. He needed to think about some random things to calm himself down.

Mance and his men were killed, but he had no time to grieve, as he had to replace Mance as the new captain of the Moniach. He had to calm down immediately, report the situation here to Norma, and command all ships to evacuate together.

At this moment, he saw something approaching the "Moniah" on the surveillance screen.

Guderian's first reaction was to approach the Moniach with the dragon they had just seen.

After killing Mance and the others, the dragon set its sights on the "Moniah"!

Guderian immediately prepared to notify all ships to start their engines and disperse and evacuate. But as the surveillance footage zoomed in, Guderian saw clearly that the thing was an air mask.

It was the alchemy field formed by Mance's "Dustless Land"! He successfully brought the students back safely!

The sound of electricity suddenly rang out from the earphones. Guderian paused for a moment and hurriedly covered the earphones with both hands: "Mance! Mance! Is that you?"

Mance's laughter came from the headset: "Can you stop using such a mournful voice? I'm not dead yet."

Although Mans's lines were very cool, Guderian could still hear how weak Mans' voice was now. He was totally unlike the man whose voice sounded like a loud speaker when he spoke.

Reemans continued through the headset: "We are approaching the 'Moniach'. Let the sailors wait by the side of the ship to prepare for rescue. By the way, notify all ships to preheat the engines. After pulling all the children on board, start the maximum cruising speed and leave this damn place!"

After Mance finished speaking, he ended the call and looked ahead, panting. The dark water surface was reflected in his pupils burning with golden flames. His eyes, amplified by the golden pupils, made everything under the water clearly visible in his vision.

If Aki and the others were standing behind Mans at this time, they would see that behind his ears were dense and terrifying scales growing out, as if he was wearing exaggerated special effects makeup. That was the phenomenon of dragon transformation.

There was a bloody massacre.

When he was studying at Kassel College, Mance was a member of the Lionheart Society. The president of the Lionheart Society at that time was Su Xiaoqiang's mother, Gloria, and he assisted Gloria as the vice president. Naturally, he also mastered this ancient technique that could temporarily improve bloodline.

Only the "Dustless Land" that had been amplified after the blood burst could withstand the flaming dragon breath that had just gushed out.

But despite this, it was still a bit difficult for Mance to face the head-on attack from a real dragon.

He could feel his internal organs burning. He didn't know whether the attack just now was a normal attack or a spiritual attack for that thing. He only knew that with his own ability, he could probably only withstand two more attacks like the one just now.

Fortunately, he had thought of a clever idea just now, and used the powerful air waves brought by the dragon's breath to push them several dozen meters in the direction of the "Moniah" in one breath.

After launching the first attack, the dragon disappeared, and no one knew where it had disappeared to.

"Is it retreating?" Selma looked ahead with lingering fear.

Aki also lay on the ground: "No... maybe he is hiding somewhere, planning to take the opportunity to attack us."

"No matter what that thing is up to, or where it's hiding now, we all have to be extremely vigilant! As the highest creatures on the food chain, dragons don't just rely on their powerful fighting abilities. Their intelligence is no less than that of humans. That thing just now would never give up so easily."

Mans said, looking at Lu Mingfei: "Lu Mingfei, you carry Ye Sheng on your back."

Lu Mingfei, whose name was called, half-crouched down and let Selma and the others carry Ye Sheng on their backs. He knew that the current situation was very critical. Mance was fully supporting the alchemy field of "Dustless Land" and it was difficult for him to be distracted to take care of Ye Sheng who was in a coma.

Mans looked away after seeing Lu Mingfei carrying Ye Sheng on his back. He instructed in a serious tone, "Aki, when we get close to the Moniach, have Lu Mingfei carry Ye Sheng aboard first, and you, Selma, and the little girl will follow. Professor Guderian will meet you at the side of the ship. I will board the ship last."

Aki nodded, having no objection to Professor Mans's arrangement. Lu Mingfei was a student who had not yet enrolled, and Ye Sheng was a wounded soldier, so they should board the ship first. Then she, Selma, and the other girls, Ling, would follow. As a professor, Mans had to ensure that all members returned to the ship safely before landing on board.

As they were getting closer and closer to the "Moniah", less than a hundred meters away, they could even see Professor Guderian on the deck waving at them.

There was only a short distance left. However, Mans did not take any chances, but activated his five senses to observe the movements around the air shield.

Will that thing come and attack them again?
Where might He be hiding?

Or was His attack just a feint? He had just woken up and had not yet recovered to his full strength, so he did not intend to fight them to the end and chose to temporarily return to his habitat to recuperate?
Mans held his breath and concentrated, and suddenly he saw a dazzling red light shining on the rippling river surface!

He really didn't run away! He had been waiting for their chance to relax and launch a second attack!
But he didn't see which direction the attack came from.

East, south, west, north. His sight quickly scanned the surroundings. He could see the increasingly dazzling red light, and he even felt the burning temperature, but he could not find where the thing was attacking them from.

He suddenly heard Lu Mingfei's loud reminder!

"Professor! Down below!"

"under?"

Manston paused for a moment, then suddenly lowered his head. A pillar of fire rose from the river beneath their feet, breaking through the air from bottom to top, like a sword made of fire thrown down from the clouds by God!
