From Hokage to Visionary

A trace of worry flashed in Xia Mi's eyes, and she had half a sentence left to say but couldn't say it.

The only word spirit that can make the surface of the river boil is most likely the ultimate word spirit, Zhulong!

If the King of Bronze and Fire really releases the 'Zhulong', regardless of whether the mission can be completed, the people in the Bronze City will definitely die!

Chu Zihang. Will you die?

Xia Mi's eyes flickered and she bit her lips lightly, as if resisting her inner instinct.

Just as she was daydreaming, she heard Caesar's exclamation from the electronic headset: "Nono!"

"Nono?"

Xia Mi was stunned for a moment, then as if she had guessed something, she immediately ran out.

It was Professor Manstein. He was holding Nuonuo and Chu Zihang, one in each hand, and was being hoisted up little by little by the black rope.

"Nono, are you okay?" Caesar strode quickly to the lifting device and helped pull the three people onto the deck. Without caring about anything else, he went to check on his beloved girl.

It is hard to imagine that this nobleman, who always looked calm no matter what he did in the past, would now look panicked.

Although his diving suit was torn by the flying bronze fragments, Nuo Nuo was not seriously injured. Seeing Caesar approaching, he immediately showed a look of disgust: "Don't get so close, okay? Chu Zihang was more seriously injured than me. Thanks to his protection, otherwise I would be dead."

Caesar finally calmed down and turned to look at Chu Zihang.

As a result, you won’t know until you see it. You will be shocked when you see it. Is this "monster" covered with blue-black scales and with a ferocious face really Chu Zihang?

"Professor, what is going on?" Caesar was silent for a moment, then turned and asked Manstein.

"The erosion from the blood explosion is too deep."

Manstein lowered his eyes and stared at Chu Zihang. After a long moment, he sighed and said hoarsely, "The concentration of his dragon blood may have exceeded the critical blood limit."

Xia Mi bit her lip and looked at the unconscious Chu Zihang, who was almost falling into the abyss of Deadpool. She felt her heart aching.

"Can it recover?" Caesar asked hoarsely, gritting his teeth, hot blood rushing to his forehead. He tried his best to suppress his anger.

Manstein hesitated for a moment and said, "Not necessarily, but we can try."

Everyone present could tell that these words had more comforting effect than practical effect.

At the blood boundary, once you step into that 'door', it means you will never come back. You have completely crossed the boundary between humans and dragons, and from then on you will only continue to slide deeper and deeper until you fall to the bottom.

"Wait. Something is coming!"

Suddenly, Xia Mi's pupils glowed with golden light. She turned her head to look at the black surface of the river and gave a loud reminder.

A strong signal was transmitted rapidly in the mind, and the trembling feeling of fear made everyone on the boat subconsciously light up their golden eyes.

The cerebral cortex felt intensely uneasy as if it had received an electric shock. The skin was inexplicably stimulated, and the hairs stood up one by one, just like a frightened cat. The fear imprinted deep in the genes was dug out and gradually spread throughout the body along the bone marrow and blood vessels. Every cell seemed to be emitting hysterical wails.

Danger!

Extremely dangerous!

On the river surface shrouded in darkness, countless fish floated upside down, the river water was boiling like a pot, and the scalding water was emitting misty vapor.

Then everyone could hear a loud rumbling sound, which was the sound of the water being stirred and accelerated.

Then, there was another dull sound, so rhythmic and melodious, a slow and powerful heartbeat, like a war drum sounding across ancient times.

A huge black shadow gradually emerged from the water. The bone spurs on its back, like undulating mountains, were like a sharp sword, splitting the boiling river surface.

Then, from the broken water flow, two golden eyes that were as hot as molten gold and filled with tyranny appeared, and the slender neck poked out of the water. The noble and brutal body was fully displayed in front of everyone. It was a perfect creature, the top of the evolutionary chain, the true ruler and hunter who ruled the world!

In an instant, the terrifying pressure seemed to be real, covering the river surface for several kilometers.

The domain containing the will of the Dragon King, an almost pure spiritual power domain, spread out in a domineering and tyrannical manner. The sudden eruption of fire ignited the surface of the river, as if celebrating the birth of the king!

Everyone could clearly sense that a domain covered the area. The majestic and tyrannical aura was like the raging waves of the sea, constantly washing over their spiritual level. If their willpower was slightly weaker, or their blood concentration was slightly lower, they would be completely crushed by that aura!

Fortunately, the bloodline of the people present was not low, otherwise the pressure from the 'Dragon King' alone would be enough to make some half-bloods kneel down.

This is normal. In front of a true king, many half-bloods and even humans don't even have the qualifications to stand!

"The enemy has been identified as the Bronze and Fire King Norton!"

Manstein pressed the recording button and said in a low and hoarse voice: "The Bronze Plan has failed. The battle of the four kings to slay the dragon has officially begun!"

On the bank of the turbulent river, a black-haired boy sat on a rock, looking at the fiery red night sky in the distance. He smacked his lips and said, "They made such a big noise, are they really wearing tape?"

"Who knows? They'll probably use some excuse to cover it up."

Next to him, a girl with a high ponytail, light makeup on her bright face, and long sideburns walked over with a pair of long legs, squatted beside the black-haired boy, and said, "Speaking of which, Second Boss, are we just going to watch and not help?"

"What the hell is Second Boss?"

The black-haired boy's mouth twitched, and he glanced at the girl next to him, his eyes unconsciously falling on those long legs.

“How about touching it?” The girl saw his gaze and instead of avoiding it, she raised one of her fair and slender legs and raised her eyebrows seductively: “Don’t worry, I will never tell the potato chip girl and the three-no girl, let alone the big boss, that you secretly took advantage of me.”

"It's not necessary."

The black-haired boy's eyelids twitched and he looked away.

"Hmm, could it be that adolescent boys prefer plump types like the potato chip girl?" The ponytail girl pretended to be thoughtful and said, "It's a pity that the boss arranged for me to accompany you this time. How about I suggest that you let the potato chip girl accompany you next time, Lu~classmate~"

Lu Mingfei's forehead was bulging with blue veins, and he gritted his teeth and said, "No need, I'm not interested in you!"

He began to regret why he agreed to Lu Mingze's suggestion and went on a mission with this eccentric girl. The key point was that he was no match for her at all and was repeatedly teased to the point of being speechless.

"Okay, okay, no more trouble!"

The girl chuckled a few times, then put away her smile, looked at the fiery red night sky and the river, tilted her head and said: "Interview, classmate Lu Mingfei, your first mission is to kill the Bronze and Fire King, one of the four kings. Are you nervous now?"

Lu Mingfei raised his head, his eyes seemed to see through the river, and said calmly: "It's nothing, just a dragon. I have killed things that are much more terrifying than that."

Chapter 359: The King of Bronze and Fire (Part )

"Norton is approaching at a very fast speed, at a speed of .50 knots!"

The first mate in the captain's room stared at the rapidly approaching red dot on the radar, and immediately shouted in shock: "The target is moving too fast, our weapon system can't lock on at all!"

When Caesar heard the news, he did not show any surprise, or rather, it was as it should be.

Fifty knots is equivalent to 25.72 meters per second, or 92.6 kilometers per hour.

The fastest sailfish in the ocean can only reach a speed of 90 kilometers per hour. In other words, the speed of the Dragon King is even faster than that of the sailfish. With such a huge body, it can move at such a fast speed, which is beyond human common sense and naturally cannot be locked by the weapon aiming system.

Caesar took out a cigar from his pocket without any hurry.

Now, the only available combat force on this ship is Xia Mi, who has just enrolled. Nuo Nuo may be able to help, but the most important Chu Zihang can no longer be relied upon.

All the burdens suddenly fell on his shoulders alone.

Snapped!

Light the cigar, put it in your mouth, take a deep breath, and then exhale slowly.

Caesar half-closed his eyes and looked into the pair of flaming golden eyes from a distance of several hundred meters. He showed no fear at all and his face was hard and cold.

Although Manstein was also very nervous and could even hear his own pounding heartbeat, he did not make a sound to disturb the situation. Instead, he chose to put his trust in Caesar.

He is the heir of the Gattuso family, an excellent and perfect nobleman, and one of the most powerful mixed-bloods!

Silence is still silence.

Norton was very cautious and did not rush to launch an attack. Instead, he swam carefully around the Moniach like a patient predator.

It was as if it was waiting for the prey to reveal a flaw in its predatory situation and anxiety, and then seize that moment of opportunity to tear apart the murderers who killed Constantine with its sharp teeth!

Beneath the dark water, a huge shadow followed the Moniach closely, using its wings to stir up huge waves and crash into the steel ship.

The first mate at the helm tried to speed up but couldn't shake it off. He angrily yelled, "No, this guy is too fast. We can't shake him off. Besides, the hull has been hit many times and three watertight compartments are leaking. The water level is already very deep!"

The water level was less than half a meter away from the deck. Every time the raging waves hit the deck, the entire Moniach would creak loudly, as if it would fall apart in the next second.

Everyone had already moved from the deck to the cabin, and despite the bumpy ride, they still tried hard to maintain their balance.

Looking at the looks from the others, Caesar suddenly opened his eyes wide after a brief moment of contemplation, with cold flames burning in his blue pupils: "Xia Mi, I will be responsible for locking, and you will control the torpedo launch and wait for my orders. Is that ok?"

"With the Dragon King's speed of fifty knots, it would be difficult to hit even if we fired."

Xia Mi looked at Caesar, her eyes flickering slightly, and expressed her concerns: "Unless it is at a very close distance, at least no more than a hundred meters, and even in this case, the alchemical warhead carried by the torpedo is very likely to be directly melted by Norton's flames."

"How do you know that Norton's fire can melt the alchemical warhead?" Nuonuo frowned slightly and looked at Xia Mi strangely.

Not only Nono, but Manstein also gave her a strange look, as if he was curious about her tone and why she was so sure.

It's like... you know Norton very well!

Faced with the slightly questioning gazes of the two people, Xia Mi suddenly fell silent. She opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

You can't tell them that you are the king of the earth and the mountains, right?

Fortunately, the current situation is not the time to question. Manstein explained: "According to the prediction of the Equipment Department, even if Norton melts the alchemical warhead, it will be corroded by the substances in it."

Xia Mi was in a dilemma, biting her lips lightly, her eyes constantly flashing with struggle.

She knew very well that even if she launched alchemical torpedoes, she would not be able to kill a king. The flames would instantly burn the alchemical sulfur and create a large vacuum area to isolate those deadly substances.

Once the alchemical torpedo is lost, the Moniach will completely lose its last chance to kill Dragon King Norton.

Then, the end that awaits them is to be buried in the sea.

But if I tell these things to them, it will only arouse their suspicion. After all, how could a half-blood who had just enrolled know more about the 'Dragon King' than the people of Kassel Academy?

For a moment, Xia Mi was in a dilemma.

At this time, Caesar suddenly spoke up, and like a dictatorial king, he issued an order: "First mate, dismantle the alchemical warhead and install a conventional warhead."

"Caesar, are you serious?" Manstein and Nono, as well as the first mate on the ship, were all surprised by the order.

"Professor, we don't have any margin for error." Caesar took a puff of his cigar and exhaled smoke, saying, "If it is true as Xia Mi said, that the Dragon King can use flames and high temperatures to melt the alchemical warheads, then the only outcome that awaits us is that all of us will be killed in battle."

"So, you want to use a supercavitation generator?" As a professor, Manstein could understand Caesar's idea and expanded his thinking: "Carrying the original Storm torpedo warhead, the supercavitation generator on it, under the effect of rocket propulsion, will make the entire torpedo be shrouded in a vacuum bubble, so as to reach a speed of 200 nautical miles per hour."

"That's right. Even the Dragon King's fire can't melt metal weighing 27 tons instantly within a distance of meters, right?" Caesar turned his head and looked at Xia Mi, as if asking for her opinion.

"Uh." Xia Mi was stared at by Caesar's icy blue eyes. She felt a little panicked for some reason and forced a slightly stiff smile: "Probably, I think there is no way."

"Very good, let's do it, First Mate!"

Caesar raised his hand and placed it on the first mate's shoulder, saying, "Professor Manstein, please help steer the ship. Nono, please take good care of Chu Zihang."

As he spoke, he pulled out a handkerchief from the pocket of his combat uniform, covered his eyes with it, and holding the huge Barrett anti-material sniper rifle, he strode out of the cabin with his head held high and stepped directly onto the shaking deck. His steady figure was like a mountain, and he remained motionless no matter how the ship shook.

To lock onto the Dragon King at a speed of 50 knots, one must use his "hearing" to the fullest.

Caesar, who had mastered the sickle-weasel technique since childhood, knew very well that in order to maximize the sensitivity of hearing, he must completely abandon vision. Only in this way can hearing become doubly sharp.

Word Spirit·Kamaitachi, the field is fully opened!

Caesar raised the huge gun barrel and pointed it into the endless darkness, relying entirely on his hearing to correct his aim.

The huge heartbeat sound, mixed in with the roaring waves, would be difficult to capture under normal circumstances, but after losing sight, it was clearly brought back by the keen-sighted kamaitachi.

It's now!

The water flow became a good carrier for the sickle-weasel, expanding the range several times.

The wandering sickle-tailed weasels locked onto the brutal creature, obtained data through feedback, and after calculations in their brains, Caesar pulled the trigger.

boom!

The huge recoil even shook Caesar's body.

The compressed gunpowder pushes the bullet out of the barrel and accelerates to the speed of sound in an instant, tearing through the whistling waves and air.

Very good, through the sickle-weasel Caesar could clearly confirm that the bullet hit the Dragon King's scales. The huge impact splashed sparks and made a unique crisp sound.

But just like this, the Dragon King won't be hurt at all.

Alchemical bullets like these can at most cause some pain to the Dragon King, but cannot break through the Dragon King's defense at all. Otherwise, the equipment department would not have to assemble torpedoes.

"Come on, be angry, be even angrier!"

Caesar muttered to himself, he just wanted to make the Dragon King angry. Only when he was angry to the point of losing his mind, would they have a chance!
