All my hunting commissions come from another world?

The interviewer role was clearly only temporary for them; being the best diving partner in the executive department was a label they were much more proud of.

Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya, this secret couple, are students in the same year and joined the Execution Department together. They have participated in 27 underwater operations. This pair can understand each other's hearts with just a glance.

"Professor, we are ready and can begin the dive at any time."

"Call me Captain."

Professor Mans Rundstedt, the ship's captain, stood at the bridge window of the Moniach, looking up at the dark sky. Lightning flashed between the clouds, and the wind and rain lashed against the bridge window.

"This weather is really terrible."

Professor Mans's muttering voice came through the channel. The storm reminded him of some unpleasant memories; they had encountered a similar storm ten years ago on the icy seas of Greenland.

"Professor, is our ship alright?"

"I told you to call me Captain."

Ye Sheng's voice brought him back to reality. Professor Mans repeated what he had just said, and then calmly said...

“Our ship is very stable now. This is not a tugboat, this is a warship. A Category 12 storm is not a big problem for it.”

Professor Mans glanced at the time and location displayed on the screen; they had arrived at the designated location.

"That's about it. Ye Sheng, Ya Ji, conduct one last check and prepare to dive."

"Received." x2

The two men on deck responded in unison, and then began to meticulously check the diving equipment that they had already inspected several times. These items were related to their safety underwater, so no amount of caution was necessary.

The final inspection was completed quickly. Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya exchanged a glance before jumping into the surging river.

At the same time, Zhou Si, who had been observing them from the shore, also jumped into the water.

Ye Sheng and his companion descended deeper and deeper. The spotlights could not illuminate very far in the deep water, so they cautiously explored further. The mission of the Executive Department was to find the legendary Baidi City, which was said to have sunk to the bottom of the water.

That was the palace of Norton, the King of Bronze and Fire.

"Norma, we need a sonar scan."

The invisible sound waves spread out in the water, and the three-dimensional sonar map outlined by dark green contour lines quickly appeared on Ye Sheng and his team's helmets. Sound waves were clearly far more useful than light in water.

Even with 'eyes', it wasn't enough for Ye Sheng and his group to discover the true location of Baidi City.

And Ye Sheng's Word of Power can now take effect.

The Word of Power Serpent works better in a good conductor than in air, and the vast water body of the reservoir greatly enhances this ability, putting Ye Sheng under surveillance over a five-kilometer radius.

Ye Sheng quickly found what they were looking for.

"found it?"

“About 40 meters below our feet, there is a huge metal object. The ‘snake’ moves very fast there, and only a metal object has such good electrical conductivity.”

"40 meters down?"

Jiu Deya was somewhat surprised, because according to the topographic map transmitted back by the sonar, there was a thick layer of rock below them, and they could not possibly pass through the 40-meter-thick layer of rock to reach the place Ye Sheng mentioned.

There was not much oxygen left, and Professor Mans above also sent some bad news.

"Ye Sheng, Ya Ji, prepare to surface," Mans's voice rang out. "There may be a magnitude 5 underwater earthquake tonight, and the underwater situation is currently dangerous."

"Understood, we'll prepare to surface now."

Just as Ye Shenggang responded, the underwater area began to tremble violently, and the dust that rose up obscured their vision.

"Aki, watch out!"

In Ye Sheng's line of sight, a huge rock was 'floating' towards Aki. If that rock hit Aki, the consequences would be unimaginable.

As soon as Ye Sheng finished speaking, a huge pulling force came from behind him and Jiu Deyaqi, coming from the connecting rope that connected the Moniahe.

Was the professor trying to pull them back?

But only a dozen seconds have passed since the underwater earthquake occurred; even if the professor and his team pulled the rope, it shouldn't have happened that quickly.

Before Ye Sheng could think clearly, he was pulled towards the water by that enormous force, and during this process, he only vaguely saw a dark shadow pass by them.

The dark figure was Zhou Si, who had pulled them toward the surface of the water. Zhou Si swam over the moment the water began to tremble. If he hadn't intervened, the two would have been in danger.

The force that is currently pulling them upwards is the Tide Hunter left behind by Zhou Si.

The underwater earthquake continued, and a huge crack suddenly appeared where Ye Sheng and the others had just been. Upon seeing this, Zhou Si moved towards it as quickly as a fish.

A tremendous suction force emanated from the crack. If Zhou Si hadn't intervened, Ye Sheng and Jiu Deyaji would most likely have been sucked into the crack, and their safety would have been completely uncertain.

After all, even Zhou Si couldn't save the person who was squeezed into a meat pie.

......

The underwater tremors lasted for several tens of minutes. The two who had just returned to the deck were still in shock, as they had never encountered such a dangerous situation before.

But the exploration was clearly not going to stop there. The sonar results told them that the rock layer that had been blocking their way had now been opened up due to the underwater earthquake.

This is the best time.

"Professor, let's continue."

Ye Sheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and put his gear back on.

"May I?"

Mans looked at his two prized students with some worry; he had almost thought he was about to lose them.

"It's alright, Professor. Didn't the Maritime Safety Administration say that the earthquake is over?"

Instead, it was Shuu Toku Aki, who had just narrowly escaped death, who stepped forward to comfort his professor.

The tragedy of ten years ago was still vivid in his mind, but the White Emperor City was of great importance and could not be abandoned because of possible danger. Professor Mans took a deep breath and looked at his two favorite students.

"Let's take the 'key' and dive a second time."

"Stay in touch at all times. If the underwater situation becomes bad, surface immediately. There's no need to rush the exploration of Baidi City."

"clear."

Preparations for the second dive were quickly completed. Ye Shenghuai, holding the baby known as 'Key', and Jiu Deyaji dived into the water again.

They returned to their previous location, where a huge crack appeared before them; the underwater earthquake had indeed opened a path to the bottom.

Although there were some loose stones floating around, they were not enough to threaten the safety of the two.

Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya exchanged a glance and decided to continue diving.

And soon, they found their destination.

A colossal bronze wall appeared before the two of them, extending in all directions, seemingly without boundaries and infinitely large.

"If you see a wall that you can't see the end of, whether you look up, down, left, or right, and you can never reach the boundary, what is that?"

Ye Sheng's excited voice rang out in the channel. A hint of joy flashed across Professor Mans's face. That was White Emperor City, the palace of Dragon King Norton. They had succeeded!

"Wait, what is that?"

The cheers from the driver's cab had barely begun when Ye Sheng's voice interrupted them. His tone was full of doubt and surprise, as if he had seen something incredible.

"what happened?"

Professor Mans rushed to the microphone, silently praying that nothing went wrong.

"We saw a large hole in the bronze wall..."

Ye Sheng tried to compose himself. They were about to use the 'key' to open a passage for them from the spirits on the wall, but before they could even begin, Aki discovered the large hole he had mentioned.

"Big hole?"

The people in the driver's cab were clearly just as puzzled as they were.

Ye Sheng stared at the dark cave entrance before him. The bronze edges seemed to be twisted by some terrifying force, presenting a ferocious appearance from the outside in.

"Professor, we plan to go inside this hole and take a look."

Ye Sheng quickly made a judgment: the pressure deep underwater was causing them to consume oxygen very quickly, so instead of hesitating here, it was better to go in and find out what was going on.

"be careful."

Professor Mans readily agreed to Ye Sheng's request.

Ye Sheng handed the 'key' in his arms to Jiu Deya, and then gave her some instructions.

"Keep the 'key' safe. If something unexpected happens, run first and don't worry about me."

This was said on a private channel between the two of them.

"Ok."

Seeing that Shudeya nodded obediently, Ye Sheng smiled with satisfaction, then turned and swam into the dark cave.

After hesitating for a moment, Shudeya followed him inside.

Chapter Thirty-One: As soon as I came in, I saw Zhou Si fighting Sansun.

The thick outer walls of the Bronze City trembled continuously, and then a huge gap appeared.

Zhou Si struggled to emerge from the thick bronze wall. He found that exerting force in the water was not as easy as on land, and breaking through the bronze wall without affecting the surroundings was not as simple as he had imagined.

boom--!

As Zhou Si moved, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground came from inside, and the collision between the bronze artifacts produced a heavy thud.

The White Emperor City, which had been submerged in water for countless years, was unlikely to still have a normal light source, but the darkness that seemed to devour everything was as if it did not exist in front of Zhou Si.

"What an exaggerated creation."

Looking at the perfectly fitted bronze gears behind him, Zhou Si sighed from the bottom of his heart. Although the dragons in this world were generally not as strong as those on their side, the ancient bronze city in front of him spoke volumes about their wisdom and creativity.

Although Zhou Si had seen many of nature's wonders in the Hunter world, the ancient city before him, which blended grandeur with intricate complexity, truly caught his eye.

He didn't admire it for long. Zhou Si's purpose for this trip was still to find the palace of the King of Bronze and Fire. If nothing unexpected happened, the Dragon King's urn would be there.

Finding this thing will bring us closer to curing Erii's bloodline problem.

Zhou Si tossed aside the bronze gear he had just removed and continued walking deeper into Baidi City.

The architectural structure of Baidi City is quite unique. It consists of a series of hollow chambers, each connected by bronze passageways. When water from the outside rushes in, most of the passageways are located below the water surface, resembling an anthill half-submerged in water.

"Could this be the living habits of the dragon race?"

Looking at the huge hole above his head, Zhou Si thought that the dragons here were more like humans wearing dragon skins, and their various technologies were even more outrageous than those of humans.

Language, writing, alchemy...

Most of the knowledge in this world comes from the dragon race, and the smartest people in modern times are almost all hybrids.

It is hard to imagine how a species with intelligence and power far surpassing that of humans could be driven off the stage of history.

Boom...boom...boom...

Zhou Si stopped in his tracks. A dull thud came from the depths of the ancient bronze city. Listening carefully, he could also hear a sound similar to scales scraping against metal.

The impact sound gradually became more rapid and heavy, and the sound came from the very center of the entire ancient bronze city. If Zhou Si was not mistaken, that was most likely the location of the Bronze and Fire King's palace.

"Looks like another unlucky guy."

Zhou Si's nose twitched slightly, and her keen sense of smell keenly caught that familiar pungent smell, the smell of blood boiling under the stimulation of the black dragon scale powder.

"How did that black dragon end up in a place like this?"

Even though discovering traces of the Black Corrosion Dragon and finding the Dragon King's palace were good things, Zhou Si couldn't be happy at all. That Black Corrosion Dragon had hidden itself too well.

With the Primal Insect Glaive and the Tidehunter in hand, the Sealings are still as convenient as ever as cleaning 'tools'; even the Black Dragon's scales cannot survive the efforts of these little guys.

He casually twirled the stick, and the crack at the head of the insect stick continuously inhaled and exhaled the Mad Dragon Virus in the air, while a layer of purplish-black mist gradually rose on the slender insect stick.

Zhou Si had arrived at the entrance to the palace of the King of Bronze and Fire. Standing in front of the huge bronze gate, which was more than ten meters high, Zhou Si appeared so small.

At this distance, the originally faint impact sound became deafening like thunder. Zhou Si gently tapped the bronze door with the insect stick in his hand.

"anyone there?"

The knocking on the door and Zhou Si's shouts echoed in the darkness, but the person inside was clearly no longer able to pay attention to what was happening outside.

"Okay, I'm coming in now~"

Seeing that the guy inside didn't respond, Zhou Si gave a helpless smile and then slung the insect club behind his back.

boom--! ! !
