Chapter 36: The Dragons
The road to the sea was not smooth, until a week later, the Ichikido Alliance finally came to the news, everything was ready to stop, ready to start from the mouth of the Yangtze River, enter the Pacific Ocean, take the waterway and take a submarine to sneak into the vicinity of Australia, and then slowly approach.
Oja, the sixth largest country in the world by land area, is the only country in the world that occupies the entire continent, and is also the largest country in Oceania. It is bordered by Sealand to the southeast, Nicaea to the northwest and Papua New Guinea, West Papua and Timor-Leste to the north. The Australian continent is the oldest continent on the earth, and it is also the largest island on the earth and the continent of a single country, with a total area of 7.692 million square kilometers.
On the way to the rendezvous, on an elongated black RV, Hua Feng asked about the personnel who participated in the mission this time, "Master Shenqiu, this time our farmer only sent me and Yunmeng, as well as five people each from your Shennong Hall and Kuikui Hall Mochizuki, and the total is only twelve people, will it be too little?"
"Boss, there are a lot, there are only more than 50 people participating in the mission this time, it is not easy to do things if there are too many people, we are going to investigate this time, not to attack. Shen Qiu explained.
"Yes, Boss...... Hey, it's really embarrassing, I'll still call you Brother Hua Feng," Mochizuki ignored Yunmeng's annoyed eyes and continued in a chattering voice, "I heard, this time I heard that the dragon clan, which has not appeared for a long time, also helped, and it was Danqiu Sheng who took a lot of effort to get the powerful foreign aid that the elders of the Xuanmen family plus the six sages mounds invited. ”
"Dragons, what dragons?" Hua Feng felt that the amount of information was too large to accept for a while, but it was not strange that he had experienced more.
"Brother, don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly. Mochizuki stroked his hair and continued, "You probably know that the totem of Huaxia is the Divine Dragon, and the Divine Dragon clan had a deep relationship with the two emperors of Yan and Huang at the beginning. People in the world think that dragons are the imagination of their ancestors, but in fact, they don't know that there are really dragons in this world. ”
"I just think this is too unbelievable, what kind of strength is the dragon clan in?" Hua Feng asked in a calmest tone as much as possible.
"I don't know the specific strength, the level of the dragon clan can't be divided according to the strength level of our human vitality stage. I'd like to show you the information I've gathered.
