Dragon Tribe: Still Thinking Until Now

"We have probably entered the country, and Tianjin is below." Nuonuo looked out through the porthole.

At this time, Lu Mingfei threw an unsealed file bag to her.

There is a red "S" stamp on the seal of the file bag. This is the mission prop for both of them. Lu Mingfei is the specialist of this two-person team, and Nuo Nuo is actually just an auxiliary specialist.

Lu Mingfei got the document bag before boarding the plane. According to the regulations, it can only be unsealed before landing, but many times the rules of Cassel are not prepared for S-level people like him with terrifyingly high authority, so it was opened as soon as he got on the plane.

There wasn't much in the briefcase, just a photo and some Chinese information.

"When we go on a mission, we should strictly follow the mission manual, especially this kind of top-secret file, which should only be viewed by the person in charge." Nuo Nuo opened the file bag and picked up the photo first. She chewed bubble gum and glanced at Lu Mingfei with a squint. The photo was a perspective from the bottom up. The flashlight shone upwards, showing a huge hole. The space there was so huge that it seemed like a giant's palace. The dome was engraved with ancient patterns. It was the scattered branches of a giant tree, and the leaves and branches were bent into unreadable characters. The complex patterns showed an ancient and mysterious posture on the dome. The complexity of those patterns was incredible. The leaves gathered together looked like human faces, and when they were separated, they were indeed a kind of ancient characters that had disappeared for many years, rotating counterclockwise on the dome.

"But you still looked at it." Lu Mingfei said, "The photo in your hand is the video footage that Jiude Aki and Ye Sheng brought out after entering the Bronze City that is suspected to be the real Baidi City. According to Professor Mans' report, they encountered great danger underwater, and the academy spent a huge price to bring these two people back to the surface."

"It sounds like we are Indiana Jones who is on a road of no return and is about to start a life-threatening adventure." Nono said these discouraging words but his expression did not care.

"In a sense, it is true, but the good news is that our mission is not to kill any dragons that may exist in the Bronze City, but only to protect Ye Sheng when he uses his Word Spirit." Lu Mingfei's right hand stroked the huge mountaineering bag placed at his feet, which contained the ultimate dragon-slaying weapon called Bronze Purgatory. Seven Deadly Sins. Among the weapons that Lu Mingfei knew of that could kill the Dragon King, this mythical weapon was definitely among the best.

Two years ago, when Lu Mingfei took the Seven Deadly Sins and Constantine's bone bottle away from the Bronze City, the two dragon servants did not appear. According to Lu Mingze, they were intimidated by his majesty and had to hide themselves.

But this time Lu Mingfei had no intention of summoning Lu Mingze.

His life can be very cheap, he can take the blame for some people, and he often has a strange spirit of dedication that allows him to sacrifice his own family for the sake of everyone.

But his life can also be very expensive. At least he can't give it to Lu Mingze now. He still has a lot of things to do.

Nuonuo chuckled, "It doesn't sound that dangerous."

She then began to look through the Chinese document, which was the archive about the Bronze City compiled by the secret party. From the archive, it seemed that this city sank into the earth's crust about two thousand years ago. Later, due to the construction of the Three Gorges, a huge amount of fresh water soaked it for a long time, which arched it out from the ground. Now it is located in water at least 150 meters deep.

"This is against convention. I'm just a sophomore, and you're just a freshman who hasn't even completed the entrance ceremony. This kind of S-marked task shouldn't fall on the heads of both of us." Nono frowned slightly, "There's something wrong here."

She is a very sensitive person and is always good at finding clues from traces.

But Lu Mingfei shook his head. "The principal told me the reason. Among all the known hybrids, my bloodline is the purest. In some areas forged by the Dragon King, only hybrids with high bloodlines are qualified to approach. The reason your name appears in the mission is not only because your bloodline has reached Grade A, but also because of your profiling ability. In certain underwater spaces, this ability may be able to help us."

At this time, the plane began to shake.

They were almost landing.

Chapter 34 Dragon

"Is that Lu Mingfei?" On the Moniach, a burly man with gray hair and a slim combat uniform walked towards the parked helicopter against the river breeze and sunshine. The rotor of this transport vehicle painted with the Kassel school emblem stirred up a violent airflow, blowing the windbreaker on the man backwards.

He extended his right hand to the boy carrying a huge backpack. Lu Mingfei finally raised his drooping eyes, his mouth corners slightly turned up, and he also extended his right hand, "It's me, you are Professor Mance, the instructor in charge of this mission, right?"

"Mans Rundstedt, the executor of the Kuimen Project, I am directly responsible for all the work you carry out here." Professor Mans nodded slightly, and then looked at Nono, "This mission is very dangerous, you shouldn't have come."

Nuonuo curled her lips, "That's not up to me."

Professor Mans is Nono's mentor and has a good relationship with Professor Schneider.

Lu Mingfei didn't say anything. He walked to the edge of the deck of the Moniah. Standing next to him was a petite, beautiful, flat-chested girl who was only about 1.5 meters tall.

Looking down from here, the water surface is sparkling, but underwater is a chilling dark green.

Black water is deep; green water is deep.

Lu Mingfei placed the backpack upright on his legs, with his palm covering the zipper.

The surrounding area was cleared, and the actions of the Kuimen Plan were supported by local mixed-race forces in China.

"It's really scary down there. After this mission, I probably won't be on water missions again." The girl talked to Lu Mingfei. "They said you're the best student in the last few decades. Is that true?"

Her eyes were bright and she stared at Lu Mingfei's profile curiously.

Lu Mingfei scratched the back of his head, “I think it’s a bit exaggerated... You are senior Selma, right? I’ve heard senior sisters talk about you.” “Yeah, it’s me, it’s me. By the way, junior, can you sign an autograph for me? I’ll keep it for twenty years. Maybe when you become rich, I can sell it to those stylish mixed-race aristocratic girls. They will surely grow up listening to your stories, and by then this autograph might be able to sell for a good price.” Selma muttered nonsense, and took out a bag of cucumber-flavored potato chips from somewhere, opened the package, and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Fried foods contain a lot of trans fatty acids and leavening agents. I suggest you eat less," said Lu Mingfei.

"I like."

"Oh." Lu Mingfei scratched his hair, "Senior, do you know where Senior Ye Sheng and Sister Aki are? I want to know about the situation in Bronze City."

Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki were the Kassel interviewers who directly contacted Lu Mingfei, and they had some friendship between them.

"Professor Mans doesn't allow us to talk about this matter. You have to talk to him directly, but..." Selma hesitated for a moment, but continued, "Aki said there are some scary things down there, like giant fish, and like strangled snakes." When saying the latter sentence, Selma spoke in a low voice, and even her expression looked a little panicked and strange.

"Dragon." Lu Mingfei was not shy about this species.

He mentioned the seven deadly sins, turned around and walked back to Professor Mance who was talking to Nono.

Under the water, where no one had ever seen it, a huge shadow almost overlapped with the Moniach.

-----------------

"The ancient mechanism of the last city was activated. Ye Sheng and I almost couldn't get out. It was the key that saved us. Professor Mans used his own way to lead us down and finally walked out of the Bronze City. When we surfaced, we only had three minutes of oxygen left." Aki Jude was wearing loose overalls and a white T-shirt, a black baseball cap, and a Variant in her right hand. The wind blew from the water, blowing her hair. Her voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of awakening the sleeping soul.

"We explored and took images in the spaces protected by those agencies. The board of directors will judge that there are still valuable things hidden in the Bronze City, such as alchemical creations or legendary documents from the era of co-governance of the Dragon Kings." Jude Aki sat at the highest point of the bridge, knees bent, eyes slightly narrowed, looking at the water in the distance.

This is the Three Gorges Reservoir of the Yangtze River, the ancient "Kuimen".

The high cliffs on both sides are like standing and compact giants, casting huge shadows on the water.

Looking back, the river is only a hundred meters wide at its narrowest point, and the mighty river is reduced to a gully, with a flow rate of up to 60,000 cubic meters per second. Du Fu once wrote a poem, "All waters meet in Fuwan, and Qutang competes for one gate." He used the word "compete" to vividly depict the mighty water of Kuimen.

If someone fell, they would probably disappear in the rapids immediately.

"Did you encounter any dangerous creatures down there, or did you awaken some living things sleeping in the Bronze City?" Lu Mingfei asked cautiously.

It has been a long time since the living second-generation species appeared and were hunted. The last time the second-generation species appeared in multiple forms was in August 1900. According to the sealed data, a large number of Deadpools and pure-blooded dragons followed the suspected King of Sky and Wind to attack Cassel Manor, which caused heavy losses to the secret party of that generation and almost destroyed the Lionheart Society. The Summer Mourning incident finally occurred at that time point.

So even though he was starting over again, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but be a little cautious.

The tension that the giant species that have hatched into huge dragon bodies can display in battle is far beyond the reach of human-shaped or small-sized pure-blooded dragons. These creatures blessed by God are full of violent beauty, which makes people want to worship them at a glance.

Jiude Aki stared into Lu Mingfei's eyes with horror.

At this time, Nuonuo spoke softly beside her, "In layman's terms, Long, have you seen any dragons down there?"

When that archaic term was chanted, Shude Aki felt as if the wind had stopped and the whole world had become silent, with only the strange laughter that still echoed in the depths of his soul.

That laughter was an underwater nightmare. When she and Ye Sheng escaped from the Bronze City, they looked back suddenly and saw huge creatures like fish and snakes, and golden pupils as bright as gas lamps, looming in the abyss.

"I'm not sure if it was a dragon, we have no evidence." Shude Aki curled up and hugged herself tightly.

"Why?" Nono asked. She had participated in the Bronze Project in the previous time and space and was one of the people who slew the Dragon King Norton. However, she only faced the monarch for a moment and could not even see the whole picture of the dragon servant's huge body. She knew very little about the specific circumstances of the whole incident.

Aki Jude looked up at Nuonuo, her eyes were dim and her voice was dim, "He... is smiling."

For a moment, Nuonuo felt as if she was immersed in an ice spring in January, and the coldness enveloped her entire body from the inside out.

-----------------

"Do you think what Aki said is accurate?" Professor Mans slowly lit a roll of tobacco, half of his face hidden in the shadow of the bridge. The red light burned slowly, and the rising smoke also hid his eyes.

"I won't comment. As a freshman who has not received systematic training and basic training from the academy, I have not come into contact with the so-called pure-blooded dragons." Lu Mingfei lowered the brim of his hat. He seemed to be staring into Professor Mance's unseen eyes, but in fact he was looking at the small island on the water in the distance.

"Even until now, I still doubt whether dragons really exist," he said. In a sense, Lu Mingfei and Jörmungandr are really similar. They are both chosen actors. Xia Mi can win the Golden Statue Award for the role in Dragon King, and Lu Mingfei can also play various roles in the mixed race.

They are truly a match made in heaven.

"There is no evidence that dragons can make sounds that can be understood as laughter by humans in non-human form. Their vocal organs are completely different from ours." Nono has taken a dragon anatomy class. Although the academy can only provide species with extremely low bloodlines or even those that cannot be considered sub-dragons, they can still provide reference value.

"But there is no evidence that they can't." Professor Mans revealed his eyes from the shadows and looked at Nono.

The tobacco had been burned out, and now only the last bit was left, with some falling ash.

"But there are many doubts in the testimonies of Aki and Ye Sheng. According to them, there are indeed dragons lurking in the Bronze City. They are at least long-lived species that have survived from the end of the Western Han Dynasty to the present. All known long-lived species are second-generation species that can leave their names in myths or epics." Professor Mans looked at the slight ripples on the water caused by the slow movement of the Moniach. He shuddered for no reason. It was clearly autumn now, but he felt that the temperature around him seemed to have dropped a lot, as if it was wrapped in solid ice.

"If the last thing that appeared in the Bronze City was really a second-generation species, how could they escape unscathed?" Professor Mans said. As he said this, his eyes drifted faintly towards the deck where Ye Sheng and Aki were.

"Unless..." Nuonuo also suddenly felt a little chilly. A second-generation species was a natural disaster and despair to any hybrid. As a species with half human blood and half dragon blood, most hybrids did not even have the qualifications to stand up in front of a second-generation species of the prince level.

"Are they lying?" For a moment, Nuonuo felt as if he had grasped something.

The Moniach suddenly began to vibrate violently, as if the Titanic had hit an iceberg, and even the keel was making a creaking sound.

bass--

The moment the backpack was opened, a cold flash of a knife appeared immediately. It was the light reflected after the sunlight fell on the blade. It was like a peerless swordsman slashing in the air, and everything around was cut off.

Bronze Purgatory.Seven Deadly Sins.

Lust!

Although there are more powerful weapons, this first-ranked wakizashi is closer to the small sword that Lu Mingfei is good at using. He can enter combat status instantly under any circumstances.

Lu Mingfei's originally drooped brows relaxed, and for a moment his expression was solemn and dignified, like a knight wearing armor and about to go onto the battlefield.

Nuo Nuo was still in shock for a moment when a hand as hard as steel immediately grasped her arm. Lu Mingfei's strength was so amazing that he easily pulled his senior sister behind him.

“Stay by my side.” Lu Mingfei’s voice was cold. When he said this, his dark eyes had been lit up, and the blazing golden pupils appeared in front of Nuo Nuo. The boy’s still somewhat immature face once again overlapped with a certain ferocious and majestic face in the deep water of his memory.

But the movement of the ship subsided in an instant.

"Damn it! What happened? Are we being attacked?" Professor Mans shouted loudly. He was just about to rush towards the gun cabinet not far away, which contained anti-material weapons that could directly inflict heavy damage to the fourth generation or even the third generation. At this time, he maintained a forward posture, turned around and vented his doubts with a roar.

"There's something underwater, we've been hit!" the first mate shouted, "That thing is at least ten meters long! It looks like a blue whale!"

"This is fresh water! It can't be a whale! That thing is a dragon! Can we aim at it? We have torpedoes and tracer bullets!"

"No! It's too fast! It left immediately after the first impact!" The second mate replied immediately and loudly.

Professor Mans's brows were almost knitted together. He glanced at Nono and said, "A pure-blooded dragon has appeared here. The mission is temporarily suspended. We must apply for support from the academy."

"What about the Moniah?" Nono was stunned.

"Leave this area and put your own safety first. There are people on our ship who cannot be sacrificed in a dragon-slaying battlefield of this level!" Professor Mans said without hesitation.

He said, turning towards the cockpit.

Lu Mingfei scratched his hair.

He was probably the one who was not allowed to sacrifice.

But I can't leave now.

Lu Mingfei pushed open the steel-cast porthole and came to the highest point of the deck.

At this moment, the sky suddenly became gloomy. Some force was changing the climate here. Strong winds raged back and forth on the water surface. Heavy dark clouds gathered together, as if the sky and the earth were overturning. A foreseeable heavy rain was imminent.

Sure enough, almost at the moment when Lu Mingfei thought of this, it started to rain.

First, less dense raindrops fell into the water, splashing visible ripples that collided with each other.

In less than half a minute, the raindrops became heavier and heavier, and soon Lu Mingfei's ears were filled with the only sound of wind and rain, but to him the whole world sounded as silent as death.
