He is currently in the Dragon Clan and has married Erii.

"It's finally stopped." Tang Yu leaned against the wall, still feeling a bit shaken.

In any case, at least his life is temporarily saved.

"The communication cable snapped during the tremor, and... this bronze city seems to have been activated." Ye Sheng released his Word of Power, informing the other two of everything that had happened outside.

"We know the communication cable is broken without you telling us. What does it mean that Bronze City has been activated? Also, where did the entrance we opened go?"

Tang Yu stared at a section of wall not far away. Just a dozen minutes ago, there should have been a hole in it, but now it was completely smooth.

"This is a bit complicated to explain." Ye Sheng considered his words carefully. "Did you watch an animated series called 'The Magic Cube Building' when you were kids?"

"What does this have to do with cartoons?" Tang Yu had a lot to say and couldn't hold back his complaints.

However, considering that we are at a critical juncture in carrying out the mission, let's refrain from complaining for now.

"I think I've seen it before, but my memory is a bit hazy," Tang Yu said.

Standing next to Ye Sheng, Aki shamelessly tried to act cute, saying, "I'm Japanese... By the way, what does this have to do with anime?"

“There is indeed a connection!” Ye Sheng’s expression was solemn. “This bronze city began to operate under the drive of alchemy, and the mechanism of its operation is very similar to the scene in the movie ‘The Magic Cube’ back then.”

At this moment, Ye Sheng seemed to have transformed into a knowledgeable teacher, explaining the structure and operation mechanism of the Bronze City in great detail.

Ye Sheng: "This bronze city is now starting to rotate like a Rubik's Cube, which means that its exit is constantly changing."

Tang Yu: "So, in other words, we can't get out now, right?"

Ye Sheng: "You could say that."

Aki, standing to the side, did not participate in the two men's discussion, but instead focused all her attention on the smart tablet built into her diving suit.

36. The college's reaction

"I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?" Aki looked up, interrupting the conversation between the two men.

"Let's hear the bad news first. We've already had bad enough! Let the storm rage on!"

Tang Yu had a look of utter exasperation on his face. In his opinion, there was no worse news than being trapped in this bronze city.

"The bad news is that we're running low on oxygen." Aki pointed to the wristwatch on her diving suit, where the pressure gauge needle was slowly shifting towards the yellow position.

"In at most half an hour, our oxygen will run out, and we'll all suffocate here!"

"So what's the good news?"

"The good news is..." Aki said slowly, as if deliberately creating suspense, before taking off the helmet used for oxygen supply in front of Tang Yu and Ye Sheng's astonished gazes.

"For some reason, the oxygen concentration here has returned to normal, so we still have time!"

"You should have said so earlier! You scared us to death, you little rascal." Ye Sheng gently tapped Aki's forehead, then took off his helmet as well.

"The most important issue now is how to contact Professor Mans and the others. This environment is too unfamiliar to us, and there could be great danger if we act rashly."

Based on the current situation, Tang Yu analyzed many things and finally came to this conclusion.

"Leave the communication problem to me to try." Ye Sheng lowered his eyes. "Theoretically, my Word of Power can connect to the Moniach's communicator, but in practice... that will depend on my own skills!"

Ye Sheng took a deep breath of the air, which smelled of rust, and then began to chant the Dragon Script in a low voice.

The invisible "Void Serpents" swarmed out, traversing the massive bronze city, penetrating the water, and finally burrowing into the communication network of the Moniach.

A brand new connection is gradually being established, and Ye Sheng himself is acting as the transit point for this connection.

"Monia... Zzz... Can you hear me?"

Above the water, the Moniach.

The communicator, which had been unattended, suddenly started making intermittent noises. Combined with the gloomy sky and the pale white light that flickered due to unstable voltage, it was exactly the opening scene of a horror movie.

However, those present were all elite dragon slayers who had experienced countless bizarre events, so this small scene was nothing to them.

"Ye Sheng!" Mans, who had been pacing anxiously in the cabin, suddenly brightened up and unleashed a power beyond his years, rushing to the communicator in one stride.

"Ye Sheng, how are you? Is anyone injured?"

"Professor, keep your voice down! Don't get too excited." Ye Sheng's voice gradually became clearer through the communicator.

"I have forcibly established a communication link using the power of words. Considering the consumption of mental energy it consumes, I am not sure how long this communication can be maintained."

"The situation is bad. We're trapped in Bronze City. Fortunately, no one is injured, and the oxygen problem has been solved." Ye Sheng explained the situation inside Bronze City to Mans in detail.

Mans: "Hang in there a little longer. I've already reported the situation to the academy headquarters. The professors and elite students are gathering, and I believe they can resolve the problem here."

"Understood..." Ye Sheng felt his mental energy gradually depleting, and the communication link he had established was becoming unstable.

"I can't hold on much longer, Professor! Let's talk again in half an hour." The call ended abruptly, and silence returned to the channel.

"You must come back alive!" Mans clenched his fist and said one last thing.

He didn't know if the dragon-slaying team could hear him. If they couldn't, he would just consider it a consolation to himself.

……

At the same time, in the United States, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago.

It was the early hours of the morning, and the moonlight still enveloped the land.

The entire Kassel College was shrouded in darkness. Under the cover of night, the magnificent building resembled a crouching behemoth, exuding a dangerous yet mysterious allure.

woo woo woo...

This night was anything but ordinary!

The piercing alarm shattered the silence of the academy, and in an instant, the entire academy was brightly lit.

The sleeping behemoth awakens at this moment, and every department starts operating at full speed, demonstrating an incredibly terrifying level of execution.

3301 Dormitory.

Before Tang Yu left to carry out his mission, there was still one empty bed in this dormitory.

But now, the only empty bed has an owner, a boy with droopy eyes who looks dejected.

This guy's sleeping posture was extremely ungraceful; his head was covered by the blanket, half of his body was hanging off the bed, and he was snoring very loudly.

After the alarm sounded, the guy opened his eyes, jumped up, and looked around warily. After confirming that there was no danger, he started cursing.

"Which bastard is playing with a smoke alarm in the middle of the night? Doesn't he have any sense of public decency?!"

Yes, this guy is Lu Mingfei.

More than three months before the official start of the college entrance examination, he was also admitted to Kassel College.

Just like when Tang Yu first arrived, this unlucky kid still hasn't adjusted to the time difference.

After tossing and turning for most of the night, he finally drifted off to sleep. But less than half an hour later, he was jolted awake by the alarm...

Anyone would find this unbearable!

"Is this... the Night Watch's alarm?"

On the other bed, Fingel, who had been sleeping naked, also sat up groggily. He was unusually serious at this moment, and his signature sly smile had disappeared.

Instead, there was an unusual solemnity.

"An alarm going off in the middle of the night... What could be so urgent? Could something have happened to my junior brothers?" Fingel muttered to himself.

"Senior brother! Can you explain this to me? What does this alarm sound mean?" Lu Mingfei, wide awake, shamelessly approached Fingel and asked in a low voice.

"It means that a major event has occurred, and we need to convene an emergency meeting with all professors and students whose bloodline rating is A or above to discuss countermeasures."

Fingel paused slightly, then continued, "If I'm not mistaken, the team that went to the Three Gorges for their mission is in trouble."

"What!" Lu Mingfei exclaimed in shock. "Wasn't Tang Yu supposed to be in that team too? What happened to him?!"

“I don’t know either.” Fingel shook his head. “For the academy to make such a big fuss, the entire team must be in mortal danger.”

Fingel quickly dressed, pulled a dusty laptop from the bedside drawer, opened the door, and strode outside.

37 Little Devil's Warmth Campaign

Faintly, a low murmur could be heard drifting away on the night breeze.

"After all those lavish meals you've enjoyed, now it's your senior's turn to come to your rescue."

"Senior brother, wait for me!"

Lu Mingfei hurriedly followed Finger. Although he was not quite clear about the ins and outs of the matter, he understood one thing: his good brother was in danger.

Lu Mingfei might not be able to help much, but he has to go; it's a matter of principle!

His heart was pounding, as if he were about to lose something precious. Lu Mingfei had never experienced this feeling before.

"Brother, being too hasty will only throw you off balance."

As Lu Mingfei walked down the dormitory corridor, he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness. When his somewhat unfocused vision refocused, the dark corridor had vanished without a trace.

This is a sunny tea room. In the center of the room is a small low table with two cups of tea steaming in the air.

A boy of about eleven or twelve years old was wearing a slightly old-fashioned suit, kneeling next to a low table, sipping green tea.

The sunlight shone on the child's still somewhat tender face, giving it a slightly translucent sheen.

"It's you again! Get me out of here, I have important business to attend to!" Lu Mingfei walked up to the child with some impatience, ruffled his neat hair, and said fiercely.

"If you don't let me out, I'll sell you to a black coal mine and make you dig coal for the rest of your life!"

“You wouldn’t do that.” The boy set down his teacup with great elegance, his pupils gleaming with a majestic golden light.

"Because...you're my brother!"

Looking at the strange young man in front of him, for some reason, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a faint sense of fear.

He staggered back a few steps, trying to get away from the child who called himself "the devil".

The boy seemed oblivious to Lu Mingfei's fear. He walked straight to Lu Mingfei's side and looked at his brother tenderly.

“You’re going to have a big day, brother!” The boy paused, then continued, “Your good friend is trapped in Norton’s grave. Do you want to save him? I’ll give you a quarter of his life, no kidding!”

Lu Mingfei immediately became unsettled. He didn't even consider whether the boy who called himself "Lu Mingze" was deceiving him.

However, in his excitement, Lu Mingfei's last shred of reason pulled him back.

"How can I be sure you're telling the truth? Maybe you're just a devil trying to trick me out of my life?"
