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

"Hey... Long Legs, did I hear that right? Did someone just speak?"

Mai Shude, who was stuck in a bunch of pipes, was also a bit Spartan. "Potato Chip Girl, you heard me right, someone really did speak! Judging from the voice... it sounded like that mysterious guy named Tang Yu! He seems to have noticed me!"

Meanwhile, thousands of kilometers away in a luxurious villa, Chip Girl jumped up from her comfortable gaming chair as if she had been electrocuted. With her hands behind her back, she paced anxiously back and forth in the room.

Chip Girl: "Long legs, be more confident! Take away the 'seems,' he really noticed you!"

Long Legs: "So what should I do now?"

Potato Chip Girl: "Don't act rashly, let's wait and see!"

In the cabin of the Trieste, Tang Yu smiled gently when he saw that Mai didn't seem inclined to reply.

"Miss Mai, stop pretending! I've already noticed you, there's no point in continuing."

"How did you find me?" Mai stretched her body, which had become stiff from holding the same position for so long, and asked softly.

"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed!" Tang Yu's reply was full of charlatanry! Then, he asked mysteriously, "By the way, Miss Mai, did you bring the Bloodline Locking Agent? Without it, you might turn into Little Dragon Girl!"

Tang Yu's words made Ma Yi's heart sink.

She felt... that the young boy on the other side of the metal bulkhead seemed to know a lot, as if... that boy had eyes that could see through everything!

There is no evidence for this guess; it's just a woman's intuition. However, Mai trusts her sixth sense!

After a long silence, Mai asked somewhat seriously, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"I didn't mean to do anything!" Tang Yu said innocently from the other side of the bulkhead. "By the way, Miss Mai, shouldn't I be asking you that? The Trieste is the property of the academy. It's not very appropriate for Miss Mai to show up uninvited like this!"

"Just like your mission, I have mine! For the sake of the help we've given you before, could you please not spread this around?"

"Of course, I'm always happy to oblige beautiful women!" Tang Yu smiled. "Miss Mai, would you like to sit here for a bit? You must be feeling quite uncomfortable over there!"

"Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Tang Yu, but I still feel more comfortable here!" Mai politely declined Tang Yu's suggestion.

Afterwards, unable to find a topic to talk about, the two fell silent again.

……

At the same time, in a seaside villa in Tokyo, the boy known as "the boss" was holding a glass of champagne with golden bubbles, gazing at the leaden sky in the distance.

According to the Tokyo Meteorological Bureau, a heavy rainstorm is expected in the Tokyo metropolitan area and its surrounding waters in the coming period.

Gazing at the iron-gray clouds, the boy murmured to himself, "A torrential downpour...what a fine day! Well then, poor White Emperor, let this world-cleansing rain be your final sacrifice in this world!"

The boy's pupils gleamed with a majestic gold as he sipped his champagne, his face expressionless.

Just as no one knows his true identity, no one in this world knows what he's thinking...

Deep in the trench, aboard the Deliaste.

The four people carrying out the dive mission were holding their breath, observing the situation outside the cabin through the porthole.

The scene outside the cabin was somewhat eerie!

Golden-red lava appeared on the cold, dark seabed, reflecting a beautiful, pale red glow. Countless strange-looking creatures swam in the water, their cold scales reflecting the red light, creating an eerie beauty...

128 Four naked men

Using the knowledge they gained in the "Dragon Genetics" class, the group easily determined that these strange creatures belonged to a dragon-blooded variant.

"It's so beautiful, it's like paradise!" Lu Mingfei exclaimed, his eyes wide.

“This place is actually hell…” Unlike Lu Mingfei’s exclamation, Caesar seemed to have seen something terrifying, his pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints.

A small observation window was located above the Trieste, but now it was covered by a shadow.

Through the probe mounted on the detector's casing, Caesar could see on the tablet in his hand... covering the window above was an enormous squid!

This squid is so big it's practically a monster. If it were in a tokusatsu show, only the Light Saw would probably be able to rival it!

After all... this thing is so big it's almost unfair, and normal attacks are no longer very effective against it.

"Oh oh oh..." When Lu Mingfei saw the squid, he cried out like a frightened little hen. Even after calming down, the unruly boy was still fidgeting.

"Is this squid going to eat us for dinner? No... judging by the time, it should be afternoon tea time now!"

"Stop complaining now!" Chu Zihang rolled his eyes at Lu Mingfei. "Although this squid looks big, its mouth is actually very small. It can't fit such a big submersible! Besides... organic life forms probably wouldn't be interested in a big block of iron."

"It shouldn't be of much interest, but if it becomes curious about the Trieste, we'll be in big trouble!" Caesar calmly continued Chu Zihang's words.

"Those dozens of tentacles aren't just for show; they're pure muscle! If any one of them touches our porthole and tears a hole in it... we'd probably be instantly crushed into mincemeat by the immense pressure from 8,000 meters underwater!"

"What do we do now?" Lu Mingfei shouted anxiously.

"Are you religious?" Caesar suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the current situation.

Lu Mingfei: "I don't believe you. I'm an atheist! So what?"

Caesar: "That's alright then. I was just thinking, if you're religious, you could pray for us; maybe it would help?"

The others on the communication channel were speechless as they listened to the conversation between the three lunatics underwater.

Even though it was a critical moment with lives at stake, these lunatics still managed to lighten the mood with their nonsense...

The following plot unfolds just like in the original story: a hammerhead shark of equally enormous size sneaks up behind the giant squid from behind Trieste and opens its gaping maw.

The two enormous creatures fought. The giant squid killed the hammerhead shark, but then the Ghast viper appeared and tore both the giant squid and the hammerhead shark's corpses to pieces...

The rule that “the higher the level in the food chain, the larger the size” does not apply to the ocean floor!

Compared to the massive giant squid and hammerhead shark, these tiny viper-toothed dragons are more like predators at the top of the food chain.

"Quick, turn off the lights! Turn off the lights!" Caesar roared in terror. Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang hadn't yet grasped the seriousness of the situation, but they still obeyed Caesar's order and frantically pressed a few buttons on the control panel to turn off the two xenon headlights at the front of the Trieste.

In the darkness, Caesar's slightly rapid breathing could be clearly heard. After calming down a bit, Caesar began to explain slowly.

“This thing is a dragon-blooded variant! We don’t know if they can sense light! If they are sensitive to light, we’re in big trouble!” Caesar took a deep breath and then said.

"To the teeth of the Ghost-toothed Viper, the thickened metal walls of the Deliaste are no different from tofu!"

Although Tang Yu was well aware that the main characters had escaped unscathed this time, his body still trembled slightly when he saw the densely packed, eerily blue-glowing vipers slowly swimming towards the submersible.

This was a natural bodily reaction that Tang Yu couldn't control.

Fortunately, these Ghastosaurus only circled the Trieste once before slowly swimming away into the distance, just like in the original story.

The four of them only breathed a sigh of relief when they could no longer see any more of the Ghosttooth Viper.

"The danger is over, let's continue our exploration downwards!" Caesar wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then calmly began to steer the Deliaste.

This decades-old antique still uses a "rudder" like a steering wheel to control the direction. Caesar, with his golden hair, stands majestically in front of the rudder, just like a medieval captain, inspiring awe and respect.

This might be what they call leadership qualities! I don't know if others have them, but Tang Yu himself doesn't have this kind of lofty quality... Of course, Lu Mingfei, that loser, doesn't have it either.

……

Amidst the red light refracted by the molten lava on the seabed, the Trieste continued its descent.

The red light outside the porthole grew brighter, indicating that the Trieste was gradually approaching the scorching lava in the trench.

The heat was transferred into the Trieste's interior along with the seawater, making the already cramped cockpit even more unbearably hot! To put it simply... the temperature inside the cockpit was practically like a sauna at this point.

The poor diving team was like the fat monk in "Journey to the West" who was thrown into a steamer by a monster, their whole body was sweating and oozing oil.

Between style and warmth, they chose warmth.

The four men were all grown men, and there was nothing to be ashamed of, so they quickly took off their clothes and were left with only their underwear.

Meeting each other's gazes, the four naked men stared at each other in bewilderment.

"Oh my, Tang Yu! I didn't expect you to have eight-pack abs! I thought you only had one like me..." Lu Mingfei looked at Tang Yu with surprise.

"You think everyone's like you?!" Tang Yu rolled his eyes, expressing his contempt for Lu Mingfei.

Just as Tang Yu rolled his eyes, Lu Mingfei quickly took off his last pair of underwear.

He has completely let himself go!

It's not entirely Lu Mingfei's fault. In this temperature, wearing any clothing would be torture, including those thin little underwear that usually look so light.

The remaining three looked at Lu Mingfei, who was naked, with envy, but none of them tore off their last fig leaf.

Caesar acted out of so-called "aristocratic manners," Chu Zihang was simply acting out of character, but Tang Yu... he knew there was a tall, beautiful woman next door, and if he were completely naked, it would feel a little strange...

129 Precision Nitrogen Bomb

The four-man squad lived up to their reputation as Kassel's dragon-slaying elites; they quickly accepted the reality that they were naked men.

"Look over there! What's that thing?"

Through the port side window of the Trieste, the naked Caesar was the first to spot the ancient city submerged deep in the trench.

A moment later, Yuan Zhisheng's somewhat hoarse voice came through the earpiece at just the right time.

“I’ve seen the pictures taken by the Trieste. Look at the inscription on the torii gate… those words mean ‘Takamagahara.’ In ancient Japanese mythology, Takamagahara was the place where the gods gathered! Now that we’ve arrived here, it means you are very close to the burial place of the gods!” Genji said softly.

"That 'god' who has cursed the Snake Clan for thousands of years lies in this ancient city. For thousands of years, she has been dancing in this ancient city wearing a white corpse shrouded in maggots. She is the curse that we cannot shake off... Gentlemen, have a safe journey! Do not die in this hellish place. Please help us break this fate!" Genji shouted in a very chuunibyou way.

Standing next to Genjiro, Sakura could see that Genjiro's usually cold and stern eyes were now somewhat red.

The young master of the extreme path rarely acted so sentimentally. Most of the time, he was a decisive executor... But now, for some reason, he always felt empty inside.

"Don't worry, Tortoise! ​​As partners of justice, how could we die?" Caesar said with a ferocious expression, a cigar dangling from his lips, as he steered the Trieste toward the ancient city standing in the trench.

As the submersible approached the ancient city, Caesar started spouting nonsense on the communication channel again: "Giant Tortoise, how about we book the whole best host club in all of Japan after this mission? I've been to nightclubs a lot, but I've never been to a host club before!"

Caesar's words silenced Genjiro, as did the others.

Even now, this group of the world's top elites still haven't figured out how these four lunatics' brain circuits work!

One second they were seriously carrying out a dragon-slaying mission, and the next second... the topic jumped to a host club. The leap was utterly unprecedented!

The propellers of the Trieste spun rapidly in the water, and the thrust generated by the propellers slowly propelled the submersible into the ancient city.

"Caesar Squad, this is a dragon's city, be very careful!" Schneider's voice, sounding like a broken bellows, came through the headset.

"Be as quiet as possible, and don't disturb the dragon embryos sleeping in the city. If they sense a threat approaching, it might accelerate their hatching!"

"Understood! I'll try to be gentle," Caesar replied calmly.
