Dragon Tribe: Still Thinking Until Now

That is to say, if you see a large number of ghost tooth vipers in a certain water area, you must be careful.

Either there is a group of brutal ancient dragon zombies, the so-called corpse guards, living nearby, or there must be a dragon hiding in the dark, waiting to devour its prey.

"We have already met up with Ling and Christina. The area near the drilling camp of the Yamanashi Institute of Environmental Sciences has been placed under air traffic control. Where should I go to wait for you?" Nuo Nuo accessed Lu Mingfei's communication channel.

"It's just across the bridge across the river. I'll drive over." Lu Mingfei said without hesitation where he and Qi Lan were driving to.

"Okay." Nuonuo said, "There's no news from Chu Zihang and the others yet, so I don't know what the situation is."

"With the principal watching from heaven, there won't be any accidents." Lu Mingfei trusted Angé very much.

After all, he is the man who inherited the authority of the King of Sky and Wind. There should be no one in this world who can kill people under the principal's nose.

"After this mission is over, we should be able to take a few days off, right? We've already helped the executive department complete a lot of tasks in a short time since we came to Japan. Even if it's a department from a capitalist country, there's no need to exploit the specialists like this." Nuo Nuo complained, and Lu Mingfei smiled, "It should be no problem. The next thing will be the game between the bigwigs on the board of directors and the parents of the eight families in Sheqi. It will take at least several days before we are needed again." He said.

"Come with us to visit Tokyo." said Nono.

Lu Mingfei turned onto the intercity road at this time, and Qi Lan moved his butt in the passenger seat. It was not that the seat of this Lexus was uncomfortable, but he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Honestly speaking, Qilan has only made two predictions in his life that were very meaningful to him. One was that he saw a corner of the new era that Lu Mingfei would create in the future through the prophet, and the other was that he had a premonition that his uncle Carl was going to take him back to Israel to join the army, so he quickly accepted the invitation from Kassel Academy and entered the world of mixed-bloods.

It was the prophecy about the new era that made him stand firmly on Lu Mingfei's side, and he led the Freshman Association, the predecessor of the Dragon Blood Society at that time, to help Lu Mingfei win during the Day of Freedom.

But their group couldn't keep up with Lu Mingfei's progress. They killed Norton, the king of the earth and the mountain, fought against Odin, and slaughtered the next generation...

These deeds are legends that can be put into mythology.

But there was hardly any time when they could provide any substantial help to Lu Mingfei's actions.

Moreover, considering that Lu Mingfei rarely stays in the academy and is often away carrying out tasks issued by the board of directors, the frequency of communication between the Dragon Blood Society and their president is actually very low.

In other words, the relationship between Qilan and Lu Mingfei is not as close as others imagine.

At this time, Lu Mingfei was chatting with his rumored girlfriend about some very private topics, and this big Israeli boy was really feeling a little uneasy.

However, Lu Mingfei did not pay too much attention to the guy beside him. He seemed to be operating the steering wheel casually, but in fact he was concentrating and alert to his surroundings like a beast on the hunt.

Although this place is quite a distance away from the camp, it is not out of the danger zone. Fierce ghosts or ambushes of the Eight Snake Clans may appear around at any time, and you may even encounter the real king general.

"We can go to Disneyland. Eri and I have been there once before. We can ride the Ferris wheel together." Lu Mingfei said.

"Lu Mingfei, do you know how to speak? Do you know that it is very rude to mention another girl when chatting with a girl?" Nuonuo cursed in a low voice.

“Oh oh oh.” Lu Mingfei didn’t care about his senior sister’s tone. “Actually, I’ve always wanted to go to Hokkaido and go skiing… Senior sister, have you seen Doraemon?”

"Are you talking about Doraemon?"

"Yes, it's the fat blue cat that came back from the future in a time machine." Lu Mingfei's voice became lighter. He still had a cigarette in his mouth, but his face was relaxed.

"When I read comics before, I often saw the protagonists say they wanted to go skiing in Hokkaido, so I have always wanted to do that."

"I've heard people say that the best time in winter is to sit around the fire, warm wine, soak in hot springs, clink glasses under the warm orange light, and listen to the heavy snow outside the window, either flying or quiet. If you think about it this way, Hokkaido is definitely worth a visit." Nono said softly.

At this moment, Nono was looking at the horizon of the city in the distance through the small porthole. Ling and Christina were each holding a cup of hot coffee and wrapped in a blanket in a daze. The flattering voice of Fingel came from the cockpit, "Junior sister, you have to testify for me. I am a handsome man and a gentleman. I never take advantage of others in distress..."

I didn’t expect that the original driver was actually Finkel’s junior sister.

Come to think of it, this loser has been held back at Kassel College for eight years...

Hearing Nuonuo say this, Lu Mingfei imagined himself soaking in a hot spring, looking out the window at the snow-capped mountains. In the distance was the five-star Akan Lake Onsen Hotel, and further away was Lake Toya. Pink snow was falling beside the hot springs, and in the farthest place he could see a lake as majestic and deep as the sea, azure as a gem, connected to the sky. The mountains in the distance were crawling quietly, like a sleeping ice and snow monster.

I don’t know why it’s not so peaceful, but instead has a sense of grandeur that overwhelms me.

As they started to climb the hill, the Lexus' engine emitted a deep roar, and the four-outlet exhaust pipes made Qi Lan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, feel his butt a little numb.

After passing this slope, looking forward, you can see the bridge. The orange express train blew its whistle and whistled across the Tama River. In the snow curtain of the blizzard, a black helicopter could be vaguely seen hovering at the end of the long bridge.

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

The cabin of the Trieste fell into deathly silence. Chu Zihang subconsciously grasped the hilt of Murasame's sword. Even though what he was holding in his hand was not an ancient alchemical sword but a mythical weapon, the Spear of Longinus, it would not be of much use.

Apart from the Aura Stick that can help them transform into Ultraman Tiga, Chu Zihang couldn't think of any other weapon in his hand that could give him more sense of security.

There really was a majestic tower standing outside, over 300 meters high!

It stood on the edge of the golden-red crack, with the tide of the long lava river rising and falling in the abyss below it. The dark tower was reflected in golden red, like a blazing sword piercing the sea surface and splitting the current!

No one spoke, because all words seemed powerless and helpless, and now there were only three of them facing this miraculous thing.

The electrical signals here can no longer be transmitted to the sea surface. In other words, they have completely lost contact with the academy.

"This is a kingdom of the dead that we have not discovered yet. The so-called kingdom of God, the so-called Takamagahara..." Chu Zihang whispered, "It is actually a Nibelungen that was exposed to the real world because its owner died."

"The eight families of Snake Qi preserve the most secret information of the Age of Gods. The White King's Nibelungen is called 'Night Food Field', which overlaps with Tokyo and is not here." Jude Mai sighed long and hard, not knowing whether it was fear or admiration. She put her face close to the resin glass, and her eyes and skin were illuminated into golden red.

"And the temperature and pressure sensors of the Trieste are both working. The temperature and pressure outside have not changed from before. This means that we are indeed in the trench. This is really... incredible."

Caesar also found it incredible. Finding a tower in the sea 8600 meters deep was so absurd that it should not happen in the human world. In comparison, he was more willing to believe Chu Zihang's words that he had broken into an ancient Nibelung.

"We have long known that there is a city built by dragons underneath, but we never expected it to be so grand." Chu Zihang took a deep breath to calm himself. He controlled the submersible to cruise towards the direction of the tower.

As the Trieste moved forward, a majestic city emerged at the end of the field of vision. Everything in this city was shrouded in brilliant rays of light, as if a god had actually walked through its criss-crossing streets.

Crossing an underwater ridge, the ancient city below unfolds like a picture scroll. It was built 8600 meters deep on the seabed, on the edge of the Eurasian plate, adjacent to a long river of magma, and has never decayed after thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.

The Trieste cruised above this city that had never been recorded in history, like an airship flying through the sky of a modern city, passing between skyscrapers.

If you look down recklessly, you can see that half of the city has collapsed, and the remaining half remains in its original state.

Every building in this underwater city is as grand and solemn as a temple. The eaves are covered with metal tiles in the shape of cirrus clouds and dragon beasts. Long iron chains are hung in the dead corners of the buildings and are carried by the ocean currents. Things like iron wind chimes are hung on the chains. The ocean currents silently drive the chains to sway like seaweed, and then thousands of black wind chimes begin to play silent music.

The city is divided by towering walls and neatly organized streets. The widest part of the street is as wide as 50 meters. Starting from a circular square with a diameter of about 500 meters in the center of the city, four such avenues lead to the east, south, west and north. In the center of the square is the giant tower. The sharp spire echoes the iron spikes on the tops of the four buildings in the city.

The Trieste approached the tall tower in the center of the city. A close look at it gave a more intuitive sense of the grandeur of this divine creation. Apart from the scars, the surface of the tower was as smooth as a mirror, like a piece of metal that had been carefully polished.

Below the tower, there are four huge arch bridges connecting four other steel buildings. The submersible began to slowly pass through a large arch.

There is no doubt that this bridge is also made of metal, with a bluish-black color. It is possible that high-temperature magma invaded this area during an underwater volcanic eruption, and the streets here are filled with porous black volcanic rocks.

This metal rainbow bridge was once close to melting. Drops of molten iron flowed down and condensed into drooping sharp iron teeth, which looked like stalagmites growing backwards in a cave.

Caesar took out a camera and pointed it at everything he had just passed. Through the lens, all kinds of ancient patterns on the surface of the Rainbow Bridge appeared on the screen, and vaguely it could be seen that gods or demons were fighting in the flowing clouds and flames.

"There seem to be words on it. If this is a dragon relic, then it should be dragon writing." Caesar said, "Every dragon writing is a huge treasure for us. The academy needs these lines to analyze the legacy left by the ancient dragons..."

He suddenly stopped talking, and his pupils suddenly shrank into needles!

"What's going on?" Chu Zihang looked at him with a frown.

Jiude Mai also immediately became alert.

"Heartbeat!" Caesar said faintly, "I thought it was the rhythm of magma just now, but it is too regular, and... look carefully, those patterns and words are trembling slightly, trembling slightly along with the heartbeat..."

Chu Zihang couldn't hear the so-called heartbeat, but he still looked at the picture on the Rainbow Bridge, and sure enough, he saw that the gods, demons and evil spirits were all shaking slightly.

"Is it an embryo?" Chu Zihang asked coldly.

The hatching of just one embryo caused such a big commotion that the entire city trembled with its heartbeat.

It’s hard to imagine what kind of horrible creature that thing hatched. Could it be a super dragon several kilometers long?

There is no way such a thing could appear on Earth, right? If it appeared, its spine would be broken by its own weight, and how would its heart pump blood throughout its body?

Many thoughts flashed through Chu Zihang's mind in an instant.

But Caesar suddenly stretched out his hand rudely, which was a very rude gesture, meaning silence.

He listened for a minute, his face looking pale.

“I don’t know if it’s an embryo,” he said, “but the heartbeat seems to belong to this city…”

Chapter 365 Kingdom of God

"You have all taken dragon language classes, so you should be able to recognize at least some of the hieroglyphs engraved on the tall tower, right?" Jiude Mai was actually the calmest among the three of them at this moment. Apparently, before entering the Jiyuan, this girl whose legs were longer than her life already knew what she was going to face.

"As Caesar said, this is indeed Takama-ga-hara." Chu Zihang nodded.

After the initial panic, the assassins in the team quickly calmed down.

If the city were truly alive, its heart would have been pumping for an infinite number of years.

There is no reason why this weird thing that cannot be explained by common sense would wake up just when the Trieste dived here.

It is not impossible that it was this submersible that woke it up, but considering that the area covered by the ruins of this city is close to that of a first-class international metropolis, the Trieste is simply a tiny ant compared to it. The probability of them waking this monster from its slumber is close to zero.

"Takama-ga-hara is the place where the gods live in Japanese mythology. We, the native half-bloods, did believe that it was hidden in a Nibelung forged by the White King." Jude Mai picked up the camera and pointed the lens at every building that the Trieste passed by, recording all the reliefs of demons and monsters on the bronze and steel facades.

She said quietly, "But now we have found the ruins of Takamagahara at a depth of 8600 meters... How absurd."

"The mainstream view among historians is that the prototype of Takamagahara is the ancient territory of Japan, but some people say that the mortal Japan is a paradise where gods live together." Chu Zihang frowned and said, "But as far as I know, until you sent the Tang envoys to study in China, most people in this country were still running around in loincloths."

"I don't know why I think you're a little impolite..."

"Sorry, no offense." Chu Zihang apologized naturally, but from this guy's expression and look that didn't change at all, there was really no sign of shame.

I guess the guy with facial paralysis is also a hidden angry young man.

"In short, there is a big discrepancy between the history recorded by the mixed-race people and the history recorded by ordinary people. Ordinary people have not found any evidence of the existence of Takama-ga-hara from the clues of time, so they infer that it is actually the name given to their country by the ancient Japanese. The mixed-race people are looking back from a higher position, so the Snake Hachika family believes that the so-called Takama-ga-hara is actually a magnificent Nibelung." Caesar tried to smooth things over.

After all, they are now grasshoppers on the same boat. If a real fight breaks out, even if the two of them can subdue Chu Zihang in an instant, this guy's Jun Yan may still pose a huge threat to the Trieste.

As expected, the men in Gattuso's family are all those who use their small heads to control the big heads, and even a maverick like Caesar is no exception.

As the saying goes, women are like clothes and brothers are like siblings. That's probably just because this dress is not gorgeous enough to match the style of Master Gattuso. But for the ninja lady in front of him, Caesar feels that there is an explanation.

"The fact is, Takama-ga-hara is neither the Nibelungen nor the ancient Japan, but a real city that exists in the present world!" Chu Zihang didn't notice the hidden meaning in Caesar's words. He was just busy carrying the camera on his shoulder and wished he could pack up the entire Takama-ga-hara and take it back.

His actions were quite consistent with Jiude Mai's, and it was obvious that both of them were tasked with investigating Jiyuan.

"But it appears in the depths of the ocean trench. This is impossible. Even a dragon would not be so foolish as to build a huge metal city in highly corrosive seawater." Caesar said. He thought for a moment, "Although we haven't seen many signs of weathering and rust on the building so far."

Indeed, the Trieste had been cruising among the spires of Takamagahara for more than twenty minutes, but almost all the damage they saw was caused by lava.

"There is no evidence to prove that dragons are purely intelligent marine species," said Chu Zihang.

It is almost impossible for intelligent life to be born in water, because even if there are things like water monkeys, they cannot transition from geothermal energy to chemical energy and electrical energy.

"That means this city may have existed on land." Caesar could undoubtedly follow Chu Zihang's thinking. They had always been evenly matched opponents.

"Japan's crust is very fragile. Takamagahara may have once been a city above the ground, but it sank to the bottom of the sea due to drastic changes in the crust!"

At this time, they were passing through a huge torii gate. The height of the torii gate exceeded the confidentiality. The bronze color reflected the brilliant molten light, so that the torii gate seemed to be covered by a thin curtain of light.

Countless black iron chains hung down from the torii gate, and countless metal wind chimes were hung at the ends of these chains. When the Trieste carefully passed through them, it was like a knight carefully passing through a dark forest.

Who knows what is hiding in the forest, maybe Little Red Riding Hood bringing snacks to grandma, maybe dwarfs kidnapping the princess, or maybe vampires or werewolves.
