He turned around and patted Xia Mu on the shoulder: "You did a great job this time. I'll apply for a special upgrade for you, A+, no problem at all."

Burning Words

Xia Mu nodded. "Thank you, but I think it's better to be cautious. After all... it's a dragon..."

“Impossible. No matter how powerful it is, it’s still a living being and it will die,” Selma said as she walked up to them.

"But they might not necessarily be killed by the bomb..."

Xia Mu's pupils contracted sharply, and before he could finish a sentence, he reached out and pushed Selma away.

"what…"

Selma stumbled, then froze.

Xia Mu beside him was thrown backward and fell into the water, as if a giant devil's hand was grabbing his vest in the darkness.

thump.

He sank straight down, and the light shone on him at the last moment.

He disappeared, leaving only a long, thin, black, snake-like thing coiled on the surface of the water.

A long tail!

The coccyx should have been blown to pieces!

"Natsuki!"

Mans picked up the sniper rifle from the ground, reloaded the entire magazine, and fired.

But he failed to fire the bullet into the water because an ice wall blocked its path. Erii raised her hands, her dark gold eyes burning eerily.

What are you doing!

Mans was furious for a moment, but then he froze.

He realized that Xia Mu was also in the water, and with such intense firing, Xia Mu, even if still alive, would likely perish.

"Xia Mu! Xia Mu was dragged into the water?!"

"The dragon isn't dead?!"

An uproar erupted in the academy's central control room, with everyone staring intently at the large screen.

The satellite projection was not clear, but some outlines could still be discerned.

"Don't die..."

Unbeknownst to Lu Mingfei, he clenched his teeth and his hands were sweating.

He saw Chu Zihang and Nuonuo on the other side, both staring intently at the screen, their faces twitching.

"Don't die..."

Lu Mingfei spoke softly once again.

The little devil laughed from a corner he couldn't see.

Should we make the "Don't die" spell take effect?

Mans dropped his sniper rifle, stumbled back a few steps, and leaned against the bulkhead.

The eerie laughter seemed to rise from the raging waves, echoing around the Moniach, very low, yet carrying a very frivolous joy.

"Did you all hear that?" The Third Officer's voice trembled.

“You heard me right…it’s the dragon laughing, he’s…mocking us,” Mance whispered.

What are you doing!

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of red.

Mans reached out to pull Erii: "Don't be impulsive!"

But he grabbed at empty air, because the girl suddenly floated up.

She stood on the gunwale, the river wind howling, making her dress flutter wildly, her beauty unparalleled.

A small part of the iceberg slowly rose from the water, and a huge commotion was visible on the bottom, but it went unnoticed by anyone for a while.

The dragon's eerie laughter suddenly stopped, and a pair of lantern-like golden eyes stared motionlessly at Erii from the bottom of the water.

If Xia Mu doesn't show up soon, this dragon will probably be sliced ​​into pieces...

"boom!"

Suddenly, the monster, preoccupied with confronting Erii, was blasted out of the water, and a powerful current of water surged towards it from the bottom.

Wind propulsion!

Erii's stern expression relaxed.

Everyone peered over the gunwale and saw Xia Mu's figure emerge from the water with the waves, leaping high into the air with the help of the strong wind.

"Mumu!"

Erii's icy expression suddenly thawed, and she leaped off the ship's railing to catch him.

The ice flow in the water vanished instantly.

"Natsuki!"

Exclamations of surprise rose and fell, especially from Selma, who almost burst into tears.

In that instant, unless she died too, if Xia Mu had sacrificed himself by pushing her away, she would have regretted it for the rest of her life!

But they didn't have time to delve into how he survived; he had already created enough miracles today.

Only Erii knew the reason, which was also why she didn't collapse instantly.

The summoning will eventually end, so Xia Mu has to return to his original position. Just now, he returned to the water the instant he was dragged into the water by the dragon's tail.

This time, Daisuke was so stunned by Erii that he didn't even notice her attack from underwater.

"Roar!"

The dragon's rage is overwhelming...

Chapter 129 Slaying the Dragon

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

A rapid buzzing sound filled the cabin.

The second mate was taken aback.

That was the fire control radar once again detecting the bomb's signal; there were a few duds when it was detonated earlier.

At that moment, a black dorsal ridge slowly rose from the water not far from the Moniach.

The monster slowly opened its mouth wide, and everyone could see its dense jaws extending all the way to its throat, where several underwater bombs glowing red were hidden deep inside.

The second mate swallowed hard: "Are we going to detonate it again?"

"It's waiting for you to detonate it."

Mans said, "Do you remember the pillar of fire that shot upwards at the moment of the explosion? That thing opened its mouth upwards, and a large amount of hot air from the explosion spewed out of its mouth, releasing pressure, like dragon fire. Now it's pointing its mouth at us. If you detonate it, the hot air will rush towards us."

"His digestive tract is made of iron?" Shudeyaji couldn't believe it.

"I made a mistake."

"He's not stupid at all," Mance whispered. "He swallowed the bombs because he knew they were useless against him. He saw us as a bunch of desperate prey, enjoying the game of hunting..."

"The engine is overheating and can't hold on for much longer," the chief engineer said.

“You don’t need to run far. Just shine the light towards the bow of the ship and see what’s there,” Mans said.

biquge.name

The first mate turned around and stared in disbelief.

In the darkness, they were only focused on sprinting away in their boat, their sonar scans always directed at the pursuers behind them, unaware of the mountain-like shadows ahead.

The Three Gorges Dam.

They were only a few kilometers away from this massive man-made structure that cost tens of billions of dollars. The majestic dam stood on the dark water, like a giant lying down and sleeping.

There was nowhere to escape.

"Xia Mu, Xia Liyi, with your solid ice and storms, plus my dustless land accelerating, can we break through a gate?" Mans asked in a low voice.

They should have had a "key" to open this door, but now they have to rely on themselves.

Xia Mu frowned, deep in thought, and did not answer.

Erii remained silent.

“Return to the cabin, start the engines, and head straight ahead,” Mans said.

Everyone watched him silently.

"I'm the captain, and I'm in charge here," Mans said. "Start the engines, full power, forward!"

The overheated engine roared once more, the stern whipped up waves, and the Moniach pitched forward.

Mans stood at the stern, watching the enormous creatures migrating in the distance, rain streaming down his wrinkled face.

“Come on!” he whispered.

As he expected, the creature was also waiting for this moment; the final chase only began when the prey started to flee.

He suddenly sank underwater, the sharp waterline reappeared, and now nothing could disturb him. He approached at an unprecedented speed.

"Xia Mu, don't be afraid."

Mans reached out and patted Xia Mu on the shoulder, saying in a deep voice, "Believe in your own strength, believe in me. With me here, you will not die... never."

He made up his mind that even if it meant dying together, he would protect Xia Mu and Xia Liyi.

He believed they were the future of the college.

“Professor, I have a suggestion,” Xia Mu suddenly said calmly.

Mans turned his head in surprise and found that the boy's face did not show any fear or cowardice in the face of a desperate situation, but rather a calm demeanor, as if this was nothing at all.
