Chapter 265 The storm is coming
At the Yamanashi Prefectural Environmental Science Research Institute, an inconspicuous car quietly drove in and drove straight to a shadowy spot to park and unload its cargo.

Two staff members stepped forward, lifted the back seat, and took out Fujiwara Shinnosuke, who looked like a mummy.

Soon, an excellent experimental subject appeared in the laboratory hidden underground in the research institute.

Herzog stood beside the operating table, quietly observing the unconscious Shinnosuke Fujiwara, his old face filled with surprise and delight.

After changing hands several times, this excellent material finally ended up in his hands.

Since his most important secret was exposed that night, Herzog has been closely monitoring the movements of the Takamagahara nightclub.

Although it was impossible to install surveillance inside Takamagahara, a comprehensive surveillance network was deployed in the surrounding area.

As the former patriarch of the Snake Clan, his authority was beyond imagination. Even though he could no longer freely mobilize Princess Kaguya to provide him with assistance, he still had ways to counter and cleverly utilize her.

He had informants at the Peninsula Hotel where the Kassel College students were staying. He had been keeping an eye on them ever since Fujiwara Shinnosuke first went out at night to "hang out."

On the night Fujiwara Shinnosuke sneaked over, his every move was actually being watched by Herzog.

It can only be said that there is always a way out. Just when he was about to take a risk and send his long-coordinated assassination team to infiltrate the Takamagahara nightclub to forcibly take Minamoto no Miko, Fujiwara Shinnosuke stepped forward.

Not only did he help him find out how deep the water in Takamagahara was, but he was also beaten half to death, thus handing over the shameless Word of Power to him.

Herzog must have put in a lot of effort to find such a wealth of detailed information about Angers in the archives of the Snake Clan.

Angers' Word of Power was no secret to the big shots; Herzog immediately recognized what Fujiwara Shinnosuke's Word of Power was.

Although Fujiwara Shinnosuke's development and potential in the power of words cannot be compared with the world's strongest dragon slayer, it seems as if he has just unlocked a high-level Setsuna.

But that was only because his bloodline wasn't pure enough and Time Zero's acceleration wasn't fast enough, so he couldn't defeat the guy hiding in Takamagahara in terms of speed.

If Fujiwara Shinnosuke were given several kilograms of evolution drug, even Angers would be beaten to a pulp.

Without the slightest hesitation, when Chu Zihang took Fujiwara Shinnosuke away, he ordered the Ghost Gang, who had been lying in ambush, to launch a combined attack to snatch back the wild Time Zero.

Unfortunately, when the Ghost Clan's headquarters was destroyed, its internal facilities were paralyzed first, so he, as the true master, was unable to obtain accurate information about that night, thus misjudging Chu Zihang's combat strength.

As Caesar had expected, he didn't need to pay too much attention, but his prepared combination of moves failed to restrain Chu Zihang, and his plan to take Fujiwara Shinnosuke away was thwarted. He could only put it aside and look for another opportunity.

Now that the precious time zero is finally in my hands, I can't let it go to waste like it did at Kassel College.

After attaching various monitoring devices to Shinnosuke Fujiwara, Herzog hummed a Russian tune as he took out a box containing four test tubes filled with serum of two colors: three green and one gold.

With time running out and the task at hand, he needed to seize the time to transform these excellent experimental materials into obedient weapons.

Once the Snake Clan's army sets off for the Japan Trench tomorrow, and we transfer that ridiculously strong kid away from Tokyo, we can go to the host club and snatch that legendary host.

……

The next day, the sky was overcast, with leaden clouds hanging low, and the spire of Tokyo Tower was hidden in the thick fog.

TV Tokyo's weather forecast indicates cloudy skies turning to showers today.

Lu Mingfei pushed open the window, and a sticky heat wave rushed in, stuffy and oppressive, giving him a strange sense of impending storm.

The cool air from the air conditioner was gradually consumed by the sweltering heat outside the window, and the coolness inside the room gradually faded.

Looking across the room from the doorway, Erii's door was ajar. The girl was curled up in a thin blanket, hugging a big-headed bear plush toy, her hair scattered on the pillow like an ink wash painting.

The two of them played a little late last night. Erii, who was playing PC games for the first time, got too excited and dragged Lu Mingfei into a crazy gunfight on the transport ship.

As a result, because the mixed-race people's reactions were so abnormal, they were always being kicked out of the room, and the server had to be changed frequently.

However, this little matter is insignificant. What should be taken seriously is the God-Slaying Operation jointly planned by the Snake Clan and Kassel College tonight, as well as the White King hiding three hundred meters underground.

The Well of Hidden Bones is connected to the Red Demon River, and it normally takes several days to reach the Red Demon River by drilling a small hole.

Herzog's old dog's exploration team is still working overtime to dig. They have deployed a large number of submersible robots and sonar detectors into the Red Demon River. Although none of them survived, they have finally determined the location of the White King by casting a wide net.

But forcing it out of the safe haven of the skeletal remains is by no means easy.

The Red Demon River harbors not only the White King, but also the dragon ecosystem that has been built around it.

Su Enxi has been keeping track of the situation and knows that the density of creatures in the Red Ghost River is beyond imagination.

Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya participated in the White King excavation project. At first, the two thought it was the same as the Kuimen project, which involved diving into the underground river to search for the White King's whereabouts.

As soon as the exploration team's drill bit broke through 300 meters of thick soil and reached the Red Demon River, a subspecies of dragons burst out and nearly devoured everyone present.

The creature described in ancient texts as the Ghost-toothed Dragon Viper is a piranha with dragon blood. It is small in size, but its teeth are so sharp that they can even bite through the flesh of a pure-blooded dragon.

If it weren't for the precedent set by Herzog, which allowed them to prepare in advance, they might have actually suffered non-combat casualties.

Ye Sheng once tried to use the Word of Power: Serpent to explore the underground environment of the Crimson Ghost River. In the presence of water, his perception range was larger than he had imagined, and he wanted to take the risk.

Because of their nepotism, no one in the exploration team dared to interfere with them, so no one stopped Ye Sheng when he was courting death. By the time Su Enxi found out about this, Ye Sheng had almost been turned into an idiot by the terrifying mental shock.

Fortunately, he also knew the terror of facing the Spirit Element Monarch, and when he detected a massive and terrifying life signal field ahead, he quickly retreated.

However, he ultimately underestimated the keenness of the Spirit Element Monarch, and the released snake was detected by that enormous life signal.

When a monarch is spied on and provoked, he will not let the enemy leave unscathed. A thick, python-like "snake" emerges from the life signal field, strangling down like the Yamata no Orochi from Japanese mythology.

Those "snakes" gave Ye Sheng the feeling of being a mayfly gazing at the blue sky, as if he would be crushed to death in a second.

Fortunately, he had warned Shudeya beforehand. In the instant his body stiffened, Shudeya physically interrupted Ye Sheng's consciousness and forcibly severed the Word of Power: Serpent. Otherwise, if he had directly faced the White King's mental attack, his brain would have been roasted.

Although Ye Sheng's reckless behavior was a bit impulsive, it also provided Su Enxi with a way to lure out the White King.

Since that great being responds to contact with the outside world, if we play the Word of Power: Emperor on a loop in the Red Demon River, could we force it to come out?
The Well of Bones is the White King's safest incubation ground. Once it senses the source of fear etched into its DNA lurking nearby, it will surely take action. This method may not be feasible, but it's worth a try.

If all else fails, we can just use a different bait.

The outlet connecting the Akaki River and the Tama River is located west of Tokyo. Eighteen years ago, when the Maruyama Construction Company, under the Hebi-Hachi family, was commissioned by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government to build the Iron Dome Temple, the Iron Dome Temple system was extended to the outlet of the Akaki River.

The initial construction plan was not extended that far; it was a change made after Tachibana Masamune took over the Maruyama Construction Office.

Clearly, he had been plotting this for a long time.

Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes, and Herzog's original plan is unlikely to be effective anymore.

Lu Mingfei looked at the gloomy sky with a deep gaze.

Today, he will achieve his goal in one fell swoop.

The burial place of the gods, the well where bones are stored, Herzog must be destroyed!

……

On the other side, at the Takamagahara nightclub.

Old Tang was eating breakfast while watching TV, with Ryoma Kaoru on the phone next to him.

"Keep an eye on Soichiro; we absolutely cannot let him get on board."

Forget it, find a rope, tie him up, handcuff his hands and feet, and lock him in the vault.

"He won't starve if he doesn't eat for a day, so that kid won't waste his time going to his death at sea."

After saying a lot, Ryoma Kaoru finally hung up the phone, gently pinching his brow, looking like he was about to cry from his stupid younger brother's silliness.

"What's wrong?" Old Tang looked at the TV, unable to understand the news anchor's babbling or Ryoma Kaoru's cursing. He could only judge by her constant deep breathing and the rise and fall of her chest—

She is very angry now!
"It's all because of my stupid younger brother." Ryoma Kaoru snorted irritably, tossed his phone on the table, and complained to Old Tang about his brain-dead brother:
"He heard from my uncle that the God-Slaying Plan was going to start tonight, so he sneaked into the Ganryu Research Institute early this morning, intending to sneak onto the ship and join in the fun."

"You've got quite an adventurous spirit, haven't you?" Old Tang said with approval. As an ancient tomb explorer, he greatly admired Ryoma Soichiro's spirit.

But you must act within your capabilities, otherwise you're just courting death.

"He has no adventurous spirit whatsoever, he just likes to play the hero and only causes trouble for us." Ryoma Kaoru had an unusual amount of disdain for his younger brother.

That idiot had a brain fart and led a group to try and smash up Takamagahara, and also to teach Old Tang a lesson and keep him at bay.

If she hadn't discovered it in time and stopped it, it might not be just Fujiwara Shinnosuke lying in the ICU now.

It is foreseeable that the Japan Trench will become a bloody battlefield. The family sent all their elites there. Ryoma Soichiro, a fragile college student, would only be a casualty if he went there.

Although his relatively accurate marksmanship was an advantage on the battlefield amidst a hail of bullets, after witnessing Lu Mingfei's inhuman accuracy at the arsenal, she found her brother's supposedly foolish marksmanship an eyesore.

"Forget about him. Did the head of the Uesugi family come back yesterday? How are things going with your Mingming?"

The topic changed a bit too quickly, leaving Old Tang somewhat taken aback. He finally understood what it meant for a woman to change her mind as easily as turning the pages of a book.

"Your family is about to start a racial war, how come you still have the leisure to care about this gossip?"

"If even Angers can't be handled by the world's most professional dragon slayer, what's the point of me caring?" Ryoma Xun said matter-of-factly.

Moreover, she actually knew some inside information. The head of the Uesugi family was the ultimate biological weapon of the Snake Clan. Logically speaking, she would definitely be indispensable in this God-Slaying event. However, she was kidnapped by outsiders and had a great time playing outside. Even Genjiro, the only person who could call her back, pretended to be deaf and dumb and turned a deaf ear to the hints from the other family heads, whether overt or covert.

If real nuclear weapons are already prepared, what's the point of having humanoid nuclear weapons?
Is it too late to worry about ocean pollution now?
"That makes sense." Old Tang agreed. After all, there was no White King in the sea, only the dragon-blooded creatures derived from its fetal blood and the corpse guardians buried within. If even these couldn't be defeated, then the Serpent Clan...

Wait!

How do I know that the burial grounds contain corpse guardians?!
Old Tang was startled, startled by the thought that had just popped into his head.

But he quickly found an explanation for himself: Lu Mingfei had encountered him in the Wuxia Gorge before, and it was also recorded in the murals of the Eight Families of Sheqi.

"What's wrong?" Ryoma Kaoru asked, looking at him with a puzzled expression as he suddenly spaced out while talking.

"No, it's just that once things are over here, you'll be going to the US to run the family business, and I should go back to China to see my brother." Old Tang casually made up an excuse.

Unexpectedly, Ryoma Kaoru misunderstood what he said, and a barely perceptible blush flashed across his face:

"Actually, they don't necessarily have to personally run the family business. They can leave Soichiro to inherit the family business, so that he won't cause trouble all the time."

In Japan, the family model of men working outside the home and women staying at home used to be very common. Although this family model is no longer around due to the changing times, she is actually quite traditional and conservative.

When Old Tang heard this, even the most dense old man realized that this girl was probably really hungry. She had eaten too many delicacies and suddenly became obsessed with the taste of technology and hard work after eating junk food.

However, as the saying goes, it's easier for a woman to pursue a man than for a man to pursue a woman, especially since she's such a beautiful and wealthy girl. Old Tang naturally had no reason to turn her away.

He was a playboy to begin with, and it was already a miracle that he didn't go to bars and nightclubs to pick up women. If he didn't still not know what secrets he was hiding, he probably would have already asked a humpback whale for advice on how to pose.

However, whether I can bring my own anchor with me when I return to China depends on Lu Mingfei's arrangements. I need to ask him about it.

"I'll ask Mingming when he gets back."

"He's so much younger than you, why do you listen to him in everything?" Ryoma Kaoru asked, puzzled.

Although she wasn't a jealous person, it was one thing that her status wasn't as noble as the head of the Uesugi family, but why did the man she fancied also obey the man the head of the Uesugi family fancied?
He said he would help keep an eye on Yuan Zhinv, and he really did stay by her side the whole time, going up and down the stairs with her.

"Because we're brothers," Old Tang said matter-of-factly. "If I don't help my brother, who will?"
