Dragon Raja: Starting with Summoning Erii

“Ah, yes, Principal, you also know about him and Nono’s adoptive mother…” Mans hesitated before continuing.

"Oh," the principal said knowingly, "how are those two children?"

Mans rolled his eyes: "It's alright, not bad, just average."

"Is there an A-level standard?" the principal asked.

“Almost, nearly so, but they still need guidance. I think I’m well-suited to be their mentor,” Mans said seriously.

The principal paused for three seconds: "After you return."

"Yes!"

Mans' power has increased significantly.

"Kids! Time to work! Time to work!"

He rushed back to the front cabin, his unusually high spirits baffling everyone else.

"Prepare diving suits and spare oxygen tanks for me and 'Key'. I'm going down there."

As Mans spoke, he reached out and picked up the little guy that Xia Mu had left by the window.

"Whoa whoa-"

As a result, the baby started crying again.

Mans was both amused and exasperated: "Little darling, those two are giving you a loving hug right there, what are you still doing clinging to?"

'Key' continued to thrash its arms and legs, wailing loudly.

"Xiamu..."

Mans glanced over, saying nothing, everything understood without being spoken.

"I'm not going down."

Xia Mu shook his head.

"This little one keeps crying, and I can't force him to go downstairs," Mans said helplessly.

Natsuki pushed Erii in front of the "key".

"Don't cry."

Erii said coldly.

"Wow?"

The baby's cries were instantly suppressed.

"Alright." Xia Mu shrugged.

Mans: "..."

Ten minutes later, just as he was about to go into the water, the baby's cries rang out again.

“Xia Mu…” Mans was embarrassed. “Why don’t you go down and pull up the diving bell first? Once you’re in position, you can go down along their safety locks. There won’t be any danger.”

"This little thing has become attached to me."

Xia Mu rubbed his forehead.

"Professor, the trainees have performed exceptionally well. Shouldn't the team leader have the authority to request an upgrade in rank?" Ye Sheng's voice suddenly rang out in the cabin. "If the Kuimen operation plays a significant role, upgrading from A-rank to A+, the same rank as Chu Zihang, is entirely possible, and even S-rank is not out of the question."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Mans patted his belly and assured him, "Don't worry, I'll take care of the promotion! As long as you make a contribution, the principal won't refuse!"

Do not…

Angers will have no objection as long as I slay a dragon.

Xia Mu rolled his eyes.

"Mumu?"

Erii saw him putting on his wetsuit and couldn't help but tug at his sleeve: "What about me?"

"Wait for me here."

Xia Mu reached out and patted her head, still subconsciously treating her like a child.

"Oh…"

A faint sense of loss welled up in Erii's eyes, which softened his heart.

“For my safety,” he whispered in her ear.

Erii immediately straightened up: "Okay!"

underwater.

Ye Sheng sensed that the "snake" inside the Bronze City was becoming increasingly uneasy, and its movement speed had increased significantly.

The spotlight beam shone down from above, and a figure was swimming towards them.

Xia Mu didn't speak, but tapped his helmet visor in greeting and exhaled a string of bubbles.

He looked like a woman nine months pregnant, with a specially made wetsuit in front of her body containing a hard, transparent pouch filled with an extra-small baby, which was originally worn by Mans.

In the underwater environment where even adults would feel fear, "Key" miraculously did not cry out. He slowly turned his head and looked around, his pupils shimmering with a pale golden light.

After connecting the new signal cable, Xia Mu replaced the oxygen cylinders for Ye Sheng and Ya Ji.

"key!"

Ye Sheng patted his belly to tease the baby, "Xia Mu, you look just like a diving kangaroo."

"You look like a fox trying to steal my baby kangaroo! Be careful, you two!"

Xia Mu swam forward: "Get ready, the door is about to open."

Ye Sheng and Aki floated behind him.

"Xia Mu, use your Word of Power to try to create a small space in front of the door and open it for the 'key'."

Mans's voice came from inside the helmet: "Your ability, like mine, belongs to the wind-type incantation, so it should be able to achieve an effect similar to the Dustless Land, just not as refined."

"it is good."

Xia Mu closed his eyes and placed his hand on the bronze wall.

"Chichi."

The river water swirled around him, and a transparent shell of water rapidly expanded outward from him.

Inside a spherical space with a diameter of two meters, water was forcibly pushed aside, and vortices swirled around it at high speed.

Xia Mu instantly lifted his mask, and the high-pressure oxygen leaking from the oxygen cylinder filled the space inside the bubble. He was actually standing in the air!

It's a much weaker version of the Dustless Land.

He simply used airflow to push the water away, and with the help of oxygen, he could only fill a two-meter space for a minute at most!

Where Xia Mu touched, it was as if the north wind had blown across the surface of a bronze wall, peeling away large chunks of patina to reveal a brand-new metal surface, gleaming with a bluish-black sheen as if it had been oiled.

The image on the wall was clearly visible: a raised human face with a burning piece of firewood in its mouth. It was a bizarre picture; the face was contorted in agony, yet the person refused to loosen its grip on the firewood.

"Alright, my task is complete. 'Key,' get to work!"

He used steel claws to hang from the bronze wall and carefully took the baby out of the abdominal cavity of his diving suit.

Silence reigned, broken only by the rushing sound of the rapidly spinning eddies.

The baby with golden eyes remained silent for a long time before struggling to bend over and stand up, perched on Xia Mu's palm.

He looked only a few months old, with a pacifier in his mouth, yet this child stood up straight, solemn like a priest.

He stared at the person's face, then slowly stretched out his chubby little hand and touched the person's forehead with one finger.

The First Clan

The bronze protrusion between the eyebrows cut the baby's delicate finger, and blood flowed over the pained face.

In an instant, Xia Mu saw that face contort, revealing an expression of joy.

"Buzz."

A deep, resonant sound, like that of a giant bell, was emanating from the child's mouth, and the bronze wall resonated faintly.

The baby's blood flowed into the mouth of the bronze human face, as if it were being forcefully sucked in, yet the baby stood with the indifferent posture of a martyr, showing no sign of pain from blood loss.

Xia Mu hugged him, took out a hemostatic bandage, and carefully wrapped it layer by layer around the baby's little finger. She patted his cheek and said, "The key is enough, unless you want to bleed to death."

"Wow..."

The "key" nestled against his chest once more.

After absorbing the blood, the bronze human face remained silent for a moment, then slowly opened its mouth as if yawning.

From deep within the bronze wall came the terrifying sound of metal cracking from heating. A pitch-black hole about one meter in diameter appeared on the bronze wall, with teeth from the bronze human face above and below it. These were definitely not human teeth; each one was as sharp as a dagger.

"This is the entrance."

Xia Mu pointed ahead and said to Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya:

"Return safely."

Chapter 124 Sudden Changes

"Splash."

The diving bell was pulled up, and Xia Mu stepped out.

"Mumu!"

Erii skipped over, her joy overflowing.

"You've used up your 'keys'? Give them to me."

The clueless woman, clattering in her high heels, strode over and snatched the baby away without a word.

"Da da da…"

There was a helicopter roaring above the deck.
