Lu Mingfei, who has bipolar disorder, refreshes the holy text every week

Chapter 198 The Sea and the King of Water
After several hours of intensive search and salvage, the rescue operation of the YAMAL has lasted for most of the day, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to find other survivors.

Caesar gazed at the bodies of his classmates who were fished out one by one. Each face had once been so warm and familiar. However, at this moment, those with lower bloodlines had turned into stiff existences like ice sculptures, their appearance forever frozen in their youth.

Fortunately, Caesar caught a glimpse of Chen Motong, who seemed to still have a glimmer of life and was being rushed to the infirmary for treatment. Fortunately, the ship was equipped with complete medical facilities that could deal with shock symptoms caused by a sudden drop in body temperature.

When they boarded the plane, every student was full of ambition and looked forward to this adventure. Who could have expected that they would be attacked by dragons during the journey? In the end, all the people died and had no choice but to parachute to survive. Most of the students did not even escape and lost their lives in the moment of the plane explosion.

Caesar was suspicious: Why didn't these dragons kill them? Instead, they left in a hurry, as if they were busy with something urgent. In addition, he noticed another strange thing - Principal Ange did not appear among these dragons. Could it be that he was hiding in the body of a giant dragon?

We should be back to the dragons' nest now.

Caesar's physical condition was excellent, and he only needed some simple medical treatment to regain his ability to move freely. However, the crew did not give Caesar the freedom he deserved. Instead, they mercilessly imprisoned all the living people, including Caesar, in a dark, damp, and hot basement.

This basement was simply terrible. There were countless boiling steam pipes hidden inside the walls, making the entire space filled with suffocating heat. In such a harsh environment, it was almost a luxury to have a good rest.

Caesar struggled to find Chu Zihang among the survivors, and tried his best to wake him up from his coma.

"Wake up!" Caesar slapped Chu Zihang's cheek hard and called out anxiously.

Finally, Chu Zihang slowly opened his eyes and gradually woke up from his chaotic coma. He looked around with a confused look and asked puzzledly: "Where are we now?"

Caesar briefly told Chu Zihang everything that had happened. After Chu Zihang fully understood, he remained calm and said in a deep voice, "So, we are currently on the dragon ship, and we should be on our way to Nidhogg's birthplace."

"That's very likely the case." Caesar leaned weakly against the hard, hot steel wall, feeling the burning temperature passing through the wall, as if only in this way could he feel a little warm. "The purpose of the dragon clan's attack this time is probably to send us to this ship, and then offer us to Nidhogg as food."

"Then why don't those dragons just capture us?" Chu Zihang asked, with a hint of doubt and confusion in his tone. He frowned, thinking about the possible reasons behind this question.

Obviously, with the strength of those dragons, they were fully capable of easily abducting them, but they did not do so.

Caesar frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "Perhaps those dragons have some important secrets, which requires them to leave quickly at the first opportunity. Once they are discovered, especially by Lu Mingfei, the consequences will be very serious."

Chu Zihang nodded, agreeing with Caesar's guess. He continued to analyze, "This possibility does exist. If Lu Mingfei or Xia Mi suddenly changed their minds and decided to protect us during the process of killing us, then these dragons would be in extreme danger. Therefore, they dare not take this risk."

After saying that, Chu Zihang stood up and slowly looked around the basement. His eyes lingered on the students who were still alive, and a sense of sadness surged in his heart. He counted silently and found that there were only ten people left. Thinking back to when he boarded the plane, there were a full two hundred elite students from various fields!

"Are these the only ones left..." Chu Zihang sighed softly, his voice filled with endless sorrow. He scanned the faces of each survivor one by one, as if he wanted to remember their appearance at the last moment.

Caesar's eyes also revealed grief and sorrow. They had originally embarked on this journey with full confidence, hoping to defeat Nidhogg and completely wipe out the dragon race from this world.

However, the reality is so cruel that many companions have lost their lives. Before boarding the plane, everyone had excitedly imagined how the world would change dramatically when the Black King was successfully killed. But now, everything has become a bubble.

Now, these people have turned into ice cubes and are being stored in the warehouse.

Chu Zihang tried hard to wake up everyone who was still alive, because the current situation was very dangerous and no one could continue to sleep. They had to stay awake to deal with possible emergencies. After shouting, only seven people woke up in the end, and the other three people lost their lives forever.

"Chairman, we have to find a way to leave here quickly!" As one of the survivors, Finkel stared at the closed iron door, clenched his fists, and was ready to attack at any time.

Chen Motong was extremely weak. She leaned against the wall weakly, glanced at Finkel, and questioned: "Of course I have to escape. I don't want to become Nidhogg's meal at all. But then again, are you sure you can open this iron door?"

Finkel smiled slightly, rolled up his sleeves confidently, and showed his strong and powerful arms. "Don't think that I am now rated F-level. In fact, my real strength has always been online! Those guys will never think that even without weapons, I can still tear steel with my bare hands!"

Looking at Finkel's smug look, everyone present rolled their eyes and expressed speechlessness.

Chu Zihang stood aside and said calmly: "In this case, we'd better act as soon as possible."

He knew very well that time was running out and any delay would increase the danger.

"Um!"

Finkel walked towards the solid iron door. His eyes were firm and resolute, as if he was going to fight a life-and-death battle with the door. Finkel's muscles swelled up rapidly as if they were inflated, and his originally thin body instantly became extremely strong.

He stretched out his strong and powerful hands and tightly grasped the iron door, his ten fingers deeply embedded in the iron sheet like steel hooks. Then, he suddenly exerted force, veins in his arms bulged, and used all his strength to tear the iron door apart.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" A sharp sound of tearing iron suddenly sounded, echoing in the entire silent basement. The sound was like the scream of a devil, making people shudder.

Chen Motong and his companions covered their ears, frowned, and endured the horrible sound. They stared with wide eyes, looking at everything happening in front of them in disbelief, and secretly marveled in their hearts: It turns out that Finger actually hides such a powerful power!
When the iron door was completely torn open, Susie, who also survived, quickly walked to Finkel's side and curiously looked up and down at the man who had just demonstrated amazing strength.

She asked in confusion, "Why have I never seen you use this ability before?"

Finkel shook his head slightly, sighed helplessly and said, "Alas, I have never encountered a situation that required me to take action personally before. Now the situation is urgent. If I don't help, I'm afraid everyone will die here." After saying that, he was the first to step out of the iron gate, looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that there were no enemies around, he turned back and shouted to the people inside, "It's safe now, you can come out!"

As everyone left the basement, Chu Zihang was a little surprised. "They didn't even arrange a guard? Do they think we can't escape, or do they simply not care whether we can escape or not?"

Caesar seemed to have noticed something was wrong. "I felt very strange when I boarded the ship. The ship was lifeless. Even though the crew members were alive, they looked no different from zombies in my eyes. If it weren't for their poor physical fitness, I would even suspect that they were dragons."

Finkel didn't care. "It's good to have no one guarding us. Let's get out of here."

Caesar turned his head to look at Chen Motong and asked in a low voice, "Did you notice anything unusual?"

Chen Motong examined the surrounding environment with full concentration, stretched out her fingers to touch the wall gently, and then put it close to her nose to smell it. Her brows were slightly frowned, and her tone was a little puzzled: "There are traces of mercury vapor here, as if it is rising from below. It seems that they are imprisoning something down there."

"Don't worry about what they have imprisoned down there. Our most urgent task is to escape from here!" Finkel urged impatiently.

An ominous premonition enveloped him, making him uneasy. It seemed that there was some terrible monster hidden on the ship, and the sound of steam flowing through the wall was like a heavy knock on the door, hitting his heart and making it difficult for him to breathe.

Being on this strange ship, Finkel's first feeling was endless despair, fear of death, and deep depravity. This place seemed like a desolate ruin, lifeless.

"Fingal is right. Now is not the time to find out the truth. Let's leave here first." Chu Zihang agreed with Fengal's idea.

Chen Motong took a deep look at the bottom of the passage, then returned to the team and left here with everyone and walked upwards.

Caesar's golden eyes lit up, and the Word Spirit·Kamaitachi unfolded. He could clearly capture any sound and avoided many crew members along the way, as if everything was going smoothly.

In fact, the moment they left the basement, the two sisters living on the top floor knew it immediately.

"Wow, these mixed-breeds look really healthy. Sister, can I play with them?" said younger sister Kurga excitedly, her face full of anticipation.

Sister Ximinlewa smiled gently: "Of course it's okay, but remember, don't kill them. Dad likes living hybrids the most. They are more nutritious this way."

"I know, sister!" Kurga nodded happily, then turned her head sharply and her eyes fell on the dagger on the desk. Her fingers trembled slightly, and then, the dagger flew into her hand in an instant as if pulled by an invisible force.

The dagger shone with silver light, and ripples of water naturally appeared on the blade. Kurga tightly grasped the hilt, feeling the cool touch of the dagger, and an inexplicable joy surged in his heart.

Then, she walked out of the bedroom lightly with the dagger in hand. Although the dagger was only about two feet long, it was just right for her petite figure. She walked down the stairs with a brisk pace, and the corners of her mouth could not help but rise slightly.

On this boring ship, Kurga desperately needed an exciting game to release her inner stress. She secretly thought that she must play well this time and enjoy the fun to the fullest.

Normally, she would jump into the sea and exercise her body using whales as opponents. Those big guys living in the deep sea would always play with her for a while, and then she would kill and eat them.

She had killed too many whales, and now it was humans who were the target of the novelty, which made her particularly excited.

The further down they went, the dimmer the light became. The only remaining source of light was the porthole next to the passage. Outside the window were bright stars and the moon. With this little light, Kurga could see every corner clearly.

There was no doubt that she was extremely familiar with the ship, and at the same time, she could accurately find the other party's position.

Her golden eyes suddenly flashed, and she sprinted towards the cabin below, as fast as a ghost.

The moment she saw Caesar and the others, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she swung her sword to cut them down. To these unarmed half-bloods, her dagger was deadly.

The dagger slashed across Caesar's cheek, almost cutting his handsome face. The blade fell on the metal wall, creating bright sparks. The moment the sparks flashed, the horrified expressions of Caesar and others were revealed.

Kurga moved very quickly, flashing past Caesar like a flying fish, then grabbed Chen Motong's neck, lifted him up, and turned to look at Caesar and others.

"There are so many activities on this ship, and you haven't tried any of them. Isn't it a pity to leave like this?"

Kurjia's mouth corners flew up, then he grabbed Chen Motong's face close, stretched out his tongue and licked Chen Motong's face. The little tongue was soft and sticky, wandering on Chen Motong's face and neck, as if tasting the most delicious food in the world.

"Very good bloodline, father will definitely like it." Kurga exclaimed.

"Father!?"

Chen Motong, Caesar and others' faces suddenly changed. Could this father be Nidhogg?
So, could the girl in front of me be... the Dragon King?
"I haven't introduced myself yet." Kurga let go of Chen Motong, holding the dagger in her hand, she lifted up her skirt and smiled, "Good evening, all half-bloods. I am the King of the Sea and Water... Kurga, I am very happy to meet you all on this wonderful night. So, let us enjoy this fateful gathering happily!"
