Pacific Ocean, Sumeru.

The black clouds pressed low, and the sea undulated restlessly. The black boat cuts through the black water, leaving white marks.

"You're disguised as a fishing boat!" Caesar spoke loudly to overpower the sound of the gas turbine.

Caesar, Chu Zihang, and Lu Mingfei are the three most influential figures in the academy together to form the strongest dragon slaying group in history.

Since Lu Mingfei refused the position of commissioner for this dragon slaying mission, Caesar served as the commissioner for this mission.

"No, it's a scientific research ship!" Yuan Zhisheng also said loudly, "We are a scientific research ship engaged in studying the confluence routes of precious marine fish!" We're on the high seas now, but this is Japan's exclusive economic zone, and we've applied for a 12-hour channel control, and no ship will pass through that sea for 12 hours! ”

He is the head of the Executive Board of the Kassel Academy branch in Yingzhou and the future head of the branch.

Due to some special historical problems, the Yingzhou branch of the Kassel Academy was not established by the academy's own people from scratch, but was the result of "cooperation" with local half-breed forces.

Therefore, the attitude of the Yingzhou branch towards the Kassel headquarters is basically similar to that of Erlang God towards his uncle - listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement.

And this local half-race force, known as the "Eight Snake Qi Families", is a behemoth formed by the union of the eight strongest underworld families in Yingzhou.

The Yingzhou branch of Kassel Academy is actually mixed with the underworld, or it is actually the leader of the underworld, which sounds a little too exciting and easy to make people feel hairy.

But in fact, the secret party to which Kassel belonged was the earliest and largest illegal and violent organization in history.

Compared with the secret party and Kassel, the Yingzhou branch as an underworld may not be considered a real "black" way, at least they have absolutely no secret party black, and there is no Kassel violence - the small countries subverted by the secret party are at least double digits, and the commissioners of Kassel usually carry out their tasks with strong explosions that can make terrorists ashamed of themselves.

For example, in this operation, the Kassel Academy found a dragon relic in a deep trench near Yingzhou, which showed signs of dragon embryonic revival, and the first dragon slaying plan given by the Kassel Equipment Department was to sink the entire Yingzhou by Lu - compared to them, the eight families of Snake Qi are simply harmless little white sheep to humans and animals!

In the end, under the arguments of the "pacifists" Angers and Lu Mingfei, the plan became "S-class student Lu Mingfei took a submarine to the trench to explore and use deep-sea alchemy sulfur bombs to blast at fixed points".

This plan is known as the "Dragon Yuan Plan".

In order to avoid accidents, Caesar and Chu Zihang received the task of "assisting Lu Mingfei", but because Lu Mingfei refused to serve as a commissioner (he said that he was going to take time to make a pilgrimage to Akihabara and received the full support of the group of dead house researchers in the Equipment Department), Caesar was solely responsible for this mission.

Lu Mingfei flew from afar with a flying sword, his open black high-necked trench coat hunting in the wind, and the inner lining of the trench coat was a pair of grand ukiyo-e.

"Sorry guys, I'm late!"

Lu Mingfei jumped from the flying sword six or seven meters high from the Sumeru seat and landed lightly.

Sumeru is a floating platform on the surface of the sea that is fixed to the seabed with sixteen iron anchors.

"It's not too late, it's just the right time."

Yuan Zhisheng greeted him and handed a thin booklet to Lu Mingfei: "This is the operation guide of the Neptune submarine. ”

Neptune is the name of the Roman god of the sea, a reference to the Greek myth of Poseidon, and the name of the submarine, if a nuclear-powered thing with four miniature nuclear torpedoes could be called a "submarine".

Damn it! Aren't you really here to come to Lu Shen Yingzhou?!

Yuan Zhisheng knew that the family's attitude towards the academy headquarters had always been unfriendly, and he had also studied abroad in the academy, and he really wanted to promote the peaceful coexistence of the academy and the family - after all, the people in the family were only the underworld, but the people in the headquarters were outright terrorists.

"Thank you."

Lu Mingfei took the operation manual in Yuan Zhisheng's hand, although he had already memorized the contents of it, but he was prepared.

……

Lu Mingfei and the three of them followed Yuan Zhisheng into the bottom of the Sumeru seat.

"This is the alchemical sulfur bomb we used to take out embryos?" , Lu Mingfei walked up to the bomb that was painted conspicuously yellow, "It's still the Q version?" ”

"This shape is more pressure-resistant, you don't want the sulfur bomb to be detonated by the sea pressure halfway, right?"

"Its power system and guidance functions are very limited, and it can only advance about one kilometer underwater. However, it is absolutely safe for you to detonate at a distance of one kilometer, after all, it does not kill dragons by the power of explosions, but by the penetration and corrosion of refined sulfur and mercury. Oh yes, it's codenamed 'Momotaro'. ”

"There are still 30 minutes left before the scheduled time, and the branch rock flow research institute will complete the final inspection and the warm-up of the Neptune in 30 minutes, these 30 minutes are free time for you to chat or sleep for a while, but my advice is to go to the bathroom, there is really no room for toilets in the submersible."

……

He took out his mobile phone and dialed: "Professor Schneider, this is the report of the Japanese branch Yuanzhisheng." The dive team has arrived at the designated location, and we are waiting for instructions from the headquarters. ”

There was a terrible breathing sound on the other end of the line, a creepy sound, like a tattered bellows being forcibly pulled apart. The man's lungs were so wounded that the students of the Kassel Academy described his breathing as "like hearing a dry corpse resuscitated."

"Wait until I'm done with this cigarette." Professor Schneider said quietly.

……

"The dive team has entered the Neptune, the testing has been completed, the submersible is in good condition, and the sea conditions are stable. The headquarters has ordered the Dragon Yuan Project to begin, and the submersible will be able to enter the water once you are in position. Sakura came behind Genjisheng.

Yuan Zhisheng looked at the sea at the top of the Sumeru Seat, and the long windbreaker whirled in the wind. His gaze crossed the nearby police boats to the fishing boats in the distance, their lights illuminating the boundary between heaven and sea as if a string of pearls were floating on the surface of the sea.

"Sakura, have you ever heard of ama?" Yuan Zhisheng asked.

"I've heard about some, but I don't know much. The ama were pearl diving girls in ancient times, who could dive hundreds of meters deep without equipment and pry open large mussels with knives to collect pearls. ”

"When the ama dive, they tie a rope around their waists, and the other end of the rope is given to their relatives on board. When they encounter danger at the bottom of the sea, they pull the rope hard, and their relatives pull the rope back, maybe they can save them, but if they can't, they can recover their bodies. Yuan Zhisheng explained.

"The rope can only be held in the hands of relatives, because ama only believe in relatives. But the husbands of the ama said that if you are tired of your wife, take her to a distant sea to pearl diving, and then throw the rope in the water. ”

Yuan Zhisheng said lightly, "So trust is really the most unreliable thing in the world, isn't it?" ”

He took the headset handed over by Sakura and put it on: "Field Commander Gen Zhisheng is in place, Caesar's team, are you ready?" ”

"You're late, Gen-kun, I don't like wasting time waiting for someone. After this mission, we can go to Tokyo for a late-night snack if it's early. Caesar's voice came from the headphones.

"The time is 10:15 p.m., the coordinates are 122 degrees 56 minutes east longitude and 35 degrees 33 minutes north latitude, the Longyuan plan is open, I am the on-site commander Yuan Zhisheng, and I ordered the release of the Diriaeste." Gen Zhisheng said, "Good luck to you. ”

The submarine dock at the bottom of the Sumeru seat opened, and the Neptune, loaded with heavy loads, fell into the black sea, and white bubbles could be seen gushing out from the bottom of the Sumeru, which was the air released by the Neptune.

The frogmen dived into the sea and attached the safety rope to the safety hook on the top of the Neptune, the other end of which was connected to the roulette wheel at the top of the Sumeru seat.

The frogs surfaced and gave a thumbs up to the source at the top of the Sumeru seat, indicating that the work of attaching the safety rope had been successfully completed. The roulette wheel began to turn, indicating that the Neptune was heading towards the bottom of the sea.

Sakura understood why Gen Zhisheng suddenly talked about the ama who was pearling.

Gen Zhisheng took off one of the earphones and dialed the phone, and on the other side of the phone was the supreme leader of the Eight Snake Clans, the eldest patriarch Tachibana Masamune.

"The submersible has entered the water, so that Eri is ready, and in 80 minutes they will be at the burial place of the gods."

"It's hard work, Hui Yueji has already hacked into the military satellite system, and no satellite can take pictures of the nearby sea tonight." Tachibana Masamune on the other end of the phone said, "Show off your skills, the history of the Eight Families of Snake Qi will be rewritten because of you and me." ”

"How's Eri in condition? Can her body handle it? ”

"It doesn't matter if she's in good shape or not, everything she points to with a sword can only be killed." Tachibana Masamune paused, "She's ours...... Reading life in the month! ”

……

On the surface of the sea, on a ship, you can vaguely see Sumeru in the distance.

The head of the Uesugi family went onto the deck, and he still smelled of shampoo. Wind Demon Kotaro immediately stood up and bowed, although the other party was a girl, the status of the head of the three major surnames was slightly higher than that of the five small family heads, and the status of the surname Uesugi in the family was higher than that of the Wind Demon family, which was known for cultivating ninjas.

"Come to me and let me see." Tachibana Masamune said.

The head of the Uesugi family knelt on the cushion in front of Tachibana Masamune, but instead of looking at Tachibana Masamune, he looked left and right, like a child forced by his parents to sit there and do his homework.

"I've got to work hard for you." Tachibana Masamune touched the top of her head, "I really want to go instead of you, but I don't have your ability." All you have to do is cut off everything, with that road to the Yellow Springs. Got it? ”

The head of the Uesugi family stretched out his finger and drew a circle on Tachibana Masamune's palm, roughly indicating that he understood, and then retracted his hand into his big sleeve, revealing only his slender fingers. She took off her geta and put it aside, and jumped into the dinghy next to the yacht wearing only her white socks, and she was the only one sitting alone in the dinghy.

The black-clad bodyguards untied the cables, and the waves pushed the dinghy to separate from the yacht. Tachibana Masamune suddenly got up and walked to the side of the ship, stretching out his hand to the head of the Uesugi family. The head of the Uesugi family bowed his head and ignored him, but Tachibana Masamune grabbed the cable and didn't let the dinghy leave.

After a half-minute stiffness, the head of the Uesugi family took out a PSP from his skirt and handed it to Tachibana Masamune, don't look away from him.

"This is a major event related to the future of the family, don't always think about playing." Tachibana Masamune reprimanded helplessly.

The dinghy sailed with a white streak of water to the place where there was light at the end of the sea level, where the lights were transparent as if a palace in the sea was floating, and the Sumeru seat in operation made a loud roar.

A few dozen meters away from the ship, Eri pulled out another brand-new PSP with "Sakura" written on it in clumsy marker handwriting.

……

Abyss, dragon ruins, in the Neptune.

is different from the plot, this time there is no wine de Mai to make trouble, the submarine is not dissolved by strong acid, Lu Mingfei and others successfully drove the submarine to the ruins of the ancient dragon that is about to be revived.

If you ignore the king squid and hammerhead shark they encountered along the way, which were about the size of a submarine.

In fact, according to the plot, they should also encounter a group of ghost-toothed vipers, a ferocious fish with dragon blood that resembles the ecological pattern of land marching ants.

However, due to Lu Mingfei's presence, these ghost-toothed dragon vipers did not appear, and they reached the ruins after experiencing the king squid and hammerhead shark.

This is not a relic in the conventional sense, to be precise, it should be a relic.

Centered around a tall black tower, this ancient city is bordered by a river of magma that has been immortalized for thousands of years. The Neptune cruises above the ancient city like an airship passing through the skyscrapers.

Half of the ancient city has slipped into the lava river, and the other half is only in the ruins, except for the giant tower in the center, which has stubbornly stood for many years, symbolizing the city's former glory.

Even from the collapsed ruins, you can still see its original majesty, continuous buildings, the raised gable roof is covered with iron-black tiles, the tiles are engraved with cirrus clouds and dragons, hundreds of meters of metal chains hang from the four corners of the building, the chains are hung with black wind chimes, these chains rise and fall in the current, thousands of black wind chimes sway, playing silent music.

Everyone was overwhelmed by the antiquity and majesty of this city, and all the civilizations in the world had never seen such a magnificent architectural style, but those ancient civilizations that had been destroyed had inherited this architectural style.

Chu Zihang made sketches on paper and drew a map of the city.

Lu Mingfei took out his mobile phone and took pictures.

The Neptune passed by the side of the tower, and Chu Zihang copied the reliefs and those strange words. Those that appear to be hieroglyphs, made up of serpentine curves. The text and relief are integrated into one, like a monstrous beast entwining the quadrangular tower.

"Call Sumeru, call Sumeru." Caesar accessed Gen Zhisheng's channel, "Did you see that? Did you see that? ”

"We see that the Norma system and the Radiant Moon system are saving and analyzing the videos and pictures you have sent back. All you have to do now is control the camera to point in different directions, and every second of the video you shoot is priceless, and this is the first time we have directly observed the ancient dragon city. Depending on the oxygen stock, you will still be able to move underwater for 30 minutes, so hurry up and look for embryos. Yuan Zhisheng said.

"The embryo should be in this ruin, yes, but where do we find this city so big?"

"I know," Lu Mingfei patted Caesar on the shoulder, "'Scythe' and 'Snake' work well in the bottom of the sea, I found the embryo." ”

"Okay, then gentlemen, please do it immediately."

Gen Zhisheng's voice sounded through a dedicated channel.

"Don't worry," Lu Mingfei wrapped his arms around his chest, "Yuanjun, please transfer Norma for me." ”

Lu Mingfei and the others carried out the task of the headquarters, the general person in charge was Professor Schneider, and the branch was mainly responsible for assisting - although in fact, the branch contributed the most, and they dispatched thousands of people for this mission.

The artificial intelligence Norma of the headquarters and the artificial intelligence of the branch are connected at all times to ensure the smooth communication channels between the two sides.

"We have a little problem with our communication with the headquarters, probably because the sunspot outbreak has affected the communication equipment. The institute is being urgently repaired. "But Hui Yueji can also cooperate with you to provide technical support, and her working mode is very similar to Norma." ”

Caesar and Chu Zihang frowned, this situation was too abnormal.

“…… Yuanjun, I think it's better to be honest. ”

Lu Mingfei's voice came to Yuan Zhisheng's ears through the headphones.

"I'm sorry, Lu-kun, this place ...... Hides the biggest secret of the entire Snake Qi Eight Family. ”

Caesar and Chu Zihang's hearts suddenly burst out, "the biggest secret" is such a thing, except for their own people, usually only told to the dead.

They are Italians and two Chinese, and they don't look like their own people from the Eight Snake Families.

They are now 8,000 meters underwater, and their lives are up to them.

"What's the secret?"

"I can only tell you that this city is called Takamagahara, I can't say anything else, and you don't need to know."

Chu Zihang & Caesar: It's okay, it's okay, there's still room to turn around.

"If you don't say it, let's go back the same way immediately, and let the embryo become a dragon!" Lu Ming threatened.

"You can't come back," Gen Zhisheng's voice was as cold and sharp as the blade of a freshly unsheathed knife, "After your Neptune arrived at Yingzhou, it was commissioned by the Branch's Rock Flow Research Institute. ”

After a slight roar, the hands of the power section on the dashboard are reset to zero.

"The safety rope on the Neptune is connected to the roulette wheel at the top of the Sumeru seat," Gen Zhisheng's voice implied a slight guilt of betrayal, "Now it is the only one who can save you, you just press ......"

"I don't accept any threats," Lu Mingfei interrupted Yuan Zhisheng, "Wait for death, you anti-bone boy!" ”

"Lu Jun ......"

"Bump!"

Lu Mingfei smashed the communicator.

Chu Zihang &......

What sin have I done!

……

Sumeru.

“……”

Yuan Zhisheng took off his headphones in silence, as a native of Yingzhou, he felt that he was not strong enough for the first time.

He sighed softly, he didn't actually have to kill Lu Mingfei and the others, but now that Lu Mingfei didn't cooperate, he couldn't save them.

In this operation, the Eight Snake Qi families sent more than 1,000 people to assist Lu Mingfei and the others, bringing enough heavy weapons such as machine guns and bazookas, and their battle was large enough to fight a small war.

But in fact, these people came with swords, spears and swords, with the belief that they would die, not to assist the three people who came from the headquarters, but to cut off the fate of the eight families of the snake in the high heaven plain below, on this Sumeru seat.

They will encounter unpredictable dangers, but their blood is meant to be a blade to cut through fate.

"Eri is here."

As the "emperor" of the Eight Snake Clans, or a super hybrid, Gen Zhisheng's bloodline level is very high, even surpassing the S-rank.

Dragon's blood gave him powerful vision, and in the distance, in his vision, a dinghy appeared, and inside was a red-haired girl sitting upright with her head bowed.

"Whoa——! Uproar——! ”

Near the Sumeru Seat, huge waves were born out of thin air, but it was difficult to shake this behemoth made of steel and concrete.

Below them is the place where the gods reside, Takamagahara, where legend has it that there are eight million gods, and now, the gods have come out of Takamagahara.

"Those three are dead......

Standing on the slightly swaying Sumeru seat, looking at the violently shaking sea, Yuan Zhisheng held a gun with a knife and sighed in his heart.

The next moment, in his sight, Lu Mingfei, who was wearing a black long-necked trench coat, rose from the sea, he did not have a little sea water on his body, his hands were in his pants pockets, and the windbreaker was blown by the sea breeze, showing a grand ukiyo-e.

Lu Mingfei's figure continued to rise, and under his feet, a huge submarine surfaced, gradually rising, suspended in the air, but there was no one inside.

The submarine landed on the Sumeru seat, and Lu Mingfei was condescending, looking at Yuan Zhisheng expressionlessly: "I said, you are dead, anti-bone boy!" ”

Yuan Zhisheng swallowed deeply and spat, and shot decisively, and the others followed him to shoot.

The bullet stayed in front of Lu Mingfei, as if embedded in an invisible wall of air.

"I'll clean you up later."

A large number of bullets landed on the submarine at Lu Mingfei's feet, colliding with the metal shell of the submarine, making a crisp sound.

"Report! The group of corpses below has swam up! ”

The crow, the right-hand man of Yuan Zhisheng, roared.

The corpses of dragons do not decay for many years after death, and the dragons use alchemy to concoct the corpses of their same kind and use them to act as guardians of the city, which is the corpse guard, and it is now the eight million gods in Takamagahara.

More than 1,000 people on this Sumeru seat will use their blood and lives to bury the gods.

Therefore, Yuan Zhisheng thought that Lu Mingfei and the three would not survive, and the corpses would tear apart their submarines and bodies.

But Lu Mingfei told him with facts that you think too much.

Lu Mingfei, who was standing on the submarine, spread his invisible "wings" behind his back and rose into the air with his body.

Wind Dance

In the incomprehensible and vigilant gaze of Yuan Zhisheng and the others, Lu Mingfei, who flew into the air, raised his hands flat and posed in a shape similar to a cross.

In the next moment, the invisible realm centered on Lu Mingfei, enveloping everything around him.

The corpse guard, who swam quickly from Takamagahara, was engulfed by a huge force, broke through the sea level, and rose into the sky.

The first corpse guard was dragged out of the sea and stopped ten meters in front of Lu Mingfei, its body glowing with a metallic luster, its pupils were hideously golden, and it twisted its slender lower body, trying in vain to pounce on Lu Mingfei.

Then came the second, the third, the fourth......

The people on the Sumeru seat watched this scene blankly, the dark clouds had dispersed at some point, and under the bright moonlight, Lu Mingfei stood in the sky, countless corpses were suspended in front of him, and the sea of silver moonlight below them was in the background, and the bright moon hanging in the sky was in the background.

"Smack!"

Suddenly, Lu Mingfei's arms raised at both sides of his body slammed upward, his palms slammed together, and the crisp applause resounded through the world.

In front of him, the hideous golden pupils of the countless corpse guards dimmed, and their already dead "life" was instantly stripped away, dissipating into the sky like rotten earth.

They are dead, but they are finally freed.

Under the holy moonlight, Lu Mingfei's face was full of compassion, and his hands were unfolded again, like gods.

The Yuan Zhisheng below had a blank mind.

He couldn't understand it at all, was this the power that human beings should have?

Even if it's Eri Yi, it's impossible to do it to this extent, right?

Can the S-class be unreasonable? Theoretically, the bloodline level of his "emperor" is still above Lu Mingfei!

If Lu Mingfei has this kind of power, why did he use a submarine to dive into the trench? Can't he solve this problem above the surface of the sea?

Yuan Zhisheng's small head was full of big doubts.

Suddenly, Lu Mingfei, who was standing in the sky like a god, cast his gaze below.

His figure swooped downward, with a huge momentum like a meteorite falling, but it stopped less than ten meters away from the Sumeru seat, and the violent wind stirred the corners of Yuan Zhisheng's clothes—Lu Mingfei was standing about eight meters above him.

Thousands of people, including Yuan Zhisheng, held their breath, and the atmosphere froze at this moment.

Lu Mingfei can indeed destroy embryos directly on the surface of the sea, and he can easily do this.

But as it is now, it doesn't waste much effort, it's just a little more troublesome.

As for why he took on this trouble, of course, it was to create a reasonable "encounter" with Eri - he wanted to give Eri a reason to go out and play openly.

For this, even a little bit of trouble is worth it.

"Very high bloodline level", Lu Mingfei looked at the direction of Eri Yi in the distance, as early as when Lu Mingfei rose out of the sea with the Neptune, he reminded Eri not to approach, "This girl is the hole card of your Snake Qi Eight Family......

"What do you want to do to her? I am the one who calculates for you! Yuan Zhisheng yelled, "What's coming at me!" ”

"Don't worry, I won't hurt her." Lu Mingfei smiled.

In just a few seconds, he crossed thousands of meters and appeared on Eri's boat, leaving only a vague afterimage in the eyes of Gen Zhisheng and others.

Eriyi, who was sitting in the dinghy, held the PSP given to her by Lu Mingfei in her hand, and looked at Lu Mingfei who suddenly appeared in front of her, with a slight excitement in her eyes.

She handed the PSP to Lu Mingfei and wanted Lu Mingfei to play with her.

"Well, let's not play games yet," Lu Mingfei bent down and gently stroked the dark red hair of Painted Liyi, "Let's go 'outside' to play and travel throughout Yingdu, how about it?" ”

In Lu Mingfei's sight, Eri's dark rose-colored eyes seemed to suddenly brighten, with a flying look, hope and excitement.

"Hmm!"

Eri nodded vigorously.

"So......" Lu Mingfei put Eri's PSP into the pocket of her shrine maiden suit, and then hugged her horizontally in his arms in the way of a princess, "Let's go!" ”

Under the moonlight, Lu Mingfei held a girl in a white witch costume, greeted the moonlight, and disappeared from all sight.

On the Sumeru seat, Yuan Zhisheng's eyes were cracked.

UNDERWATER, CHU ZIHANG AND CAESAR, WHO WERE ABOUT TO SWIM ASHORE AFTER BEING ADDED A HIDDEN BUFF BY LU MINGFEI, SCOLDED HIM IN THEIR HEARTS.

But if they knew that they were also arranged by Lu Mingfei to have a "one-week work experience in the Cowherd Shop", they might directly draw a knife and try to die with Lu Mingfei.
