"Alright, we're ready to dive, guys, check your gear, and if there's nothing wrong, give me a big thumbs up!" Liu Qi said, and then looked at Chu Zihang and Susie in front of him.

The biggest difference between this Three Gorges Operation and the original book is that the candidates for launching the water have changed from Nuo Nuo and Lu Mingfei to the current three, indeed, it seems to be very discordant, in the team of Chu Zihang, a terrible A+-level half-blood, there are actually people with stronger bloodlines.

"......" Senior Brother Facial Paralysis didn't say anything, stretched out his hand, gave a thumbs up, and then turned his fist around and pointed twice under the water.

"Ahem, don't be so formal, we have instruments that can communicate, senior brother, don't always be like a stuffy gourd, don't say anything, there will be no girls like this!" Liu Qi said speechlessly, secretly sighing that Chu Zihang is really an honest man, and the kind of person who doesn't talk much, it's really terrible.

"The preparation is complete, the oxygen supply is sufficient, the oxygen supply system is complete, the underwater diving system has been turned on, and it is ready to dive." Susie said.

"Well, let's go, without further ado, Norton may have woken up!" Liu Qi said, and then pressed the pressure valve at hand, and instantly a thrust came from behind him, to be precise, it was actually pressure, because this force was pushed down by the three of them at the time, so it was like something was pressing from the top of the head.

"Attention, be careful of visual hallucinations, this is the tomb and dormitory of the Dragon King, Norton's own spiritual power is strong enough to make us lose consciousness directly, especially you, Chu Zihang, your bloodline purity is too high, it is the most dangerous existence!" Professor Mance's words came from the communication channel, even though no one wanted to hear the other's words.

"Professor, I think that if you evaluate the danger of being suppressed by the Dragon King's spirit according to the purity of your bloodline, then is Team Leader Liu Yuan's S-level bloodline really the most dangerous person?" Chu Zihang said, his voice was very flat, as if he was stating a fact, and he didn't care about hitting Professor Mance in the face.

"Ahem, classmate Liu Yuan is an exception, didn't you find that although the purity of classmate Liu Yuan's bloodline is higher than yours, there is no phenomenon of golden pupils that cannot be extinguished at all?" "This shows that although the purity of Liu Yuan's bloodline is high, it is not on the verge of getting out of control at all. ”

"Don't discuss this topic, let's look at the road first!" Liu Qi's voice suddenly came out, "There is something strange at the bottom of the sea now, I think things are a little big!" ”

"What's wrong?" Professor Mance asked, "Did you see the 'door'?" Professor Mance asked, confused, "Based on our information, if you did see the 'door', you wouldn't have the ability to talk to me." ”

"No, it's too quiet under the water!" Liu Qi shook his head, looked at Chu Zihang and Susie on the side, and couldn't help pinching the hand holding the depth charge, "It's not like an ordinary water flow at all." ”

"Isn't it normal to be quiet underwater? After all, you can't hear the sound! Lu Mingfei asked strangely, "I've never heard a sound when I've been swimming in the swimming pool before!" ”

"No, I don't mean ordinary hearing." Liu Qi said, "I mean, the Spirit of Words and the Weasel is here, and it has lost its effect!" ”

"I don't remember you being a scythe, isn't your spirit a dustless place?" Susie wondered.

"Ahem, Liu Yuan is a rare user of mutant multi-speech spirits, and she can use more than one kind of speech spirit." Professor Mance tried his best to cover it up, and at the same time frantically signaled to Liu Qi, meaning not to reveal it, Liu Qi's words and spirits are in the school's confidential files, so they can't let these students know at will.

"Wait, Liu Kite, what do you mean by the sickle that can't hear the sound?" Professor Mance suddenly asked, as a professor who has been working on the front line for many years, he has an excellent ability to understand, so he found the most abnormal place in an instant.

"Yes, I mean, the weasel is at the bottom of the water, and it can't hear anything at all, it's a metaphor." Liu Qi replied, "The real situation is that all the scythes of the Yanling Scythe Weasel that I mimicked have shrunk up, and I really can't think of anything that can make this group of guys retreat." ”

The spirit of speech and creation, created by Liu Qi himself, is no longer on the sequence list, and the 'God Realm' within ten meters mentioned above is only one of its functions, and mimicking the words and spirits of others is also one of the functions of this spirit of words, and the consumption is indeed much smaller than directly controlling the matter within the radius.

"No, there's a creature that can make them retreat." Professor Mance's brow furrowed, "That's—"

"Dragon!" In the history of China, the dragon is a symbol of auspiciousness, but in Western mythology, the dragon is a symbol of a nightmare.

"You guys hurry up, I'll inform Captain Liu to let the helicopter pick you up!" Professor Mance said, "Quick, get up now!" ”

"I'm afraid not." Liu Qi shook his head, "We can't go up!" ”

"What?!" Professor Mance was taken aback.

"The host had already expected a guest to come." Liu Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, "Although as a scientific research worker, I don't believe in these fantasy things, but now, I have to say that I believe it." ”

"What kind of host and guest, Liu Yuan, you tell me clearly!" Mance roared, "Float up immediately, didn't you hear what I said, Chu Zihang, Susie, float up immediately!" ”

"No, no, Professor Mance, the pressure gauge says we're at maximum capacity, but we're not moving at all!" Susie's frightened voice came from the communication channel.

"Normal, because the master is inviting us in." Liu Qi half-squinted his eyes and looked towards the bottomless water.

"What do you mean?" Chu Zihang made a rare voice, "Norton really welcomes us?" ”

"Quite possibly." Liu Qi nodded, "Actually, if your senses are sharp enough, you will find that the water flow above is obviously colder than the water below, or in other words, the water flow below is hot." ”

"Convection effect?" Susie asked.

"Yes, a junior high school student knows the principle, the hot water flow rises because it is less dense." Liu Qi said.

"Then why can't we go up, and if the hot water is going up, then shouldn't we be washed out of the water, are you sure Norton really welcomes us and doesn't want to kick us out?" Susie asked.

"We are in the area of the cold water flow of the decline." Liu Qi said, then raised his wrist and looked at his pressure gauge, which symbolized the output of the hydrostatic thruster behind him, and now the pointer had reached the red maximum output area.

"And if Norton doesn't welcome us, we probably won't be able to get down at all." Liu Qi said, "Applying high temperature to static objects, this terrifying ability to manipulate temperatures, or the authority of bronze and fire, is really fascinating!" ”

"Liu Yuan, let me remind you, you are not playing a game now, nor are you a child playing house, hurry up and find a way to come up!" Professor Mance shouted in the communication channel.

"I'm sorry, I'm a person who doesn't like to go off the beaten path!" Liu Qi smiled, raised his hand, took off a headset next to his ear, and then let go, and the headset fell directly downward, which also proved that the previous conclusion was correct, because in the water with no power at all, the material of the headset should not sink, in order to have no extra resistance in the water at all, and speed up the marching speed of the troops, the average density of the military communicator is completely equal to the water, and sometimes it is even lower than the river water and sea water in some areas.

"Alright, let's go, let's go down!" Liu Qi said, and then directly slapped the power controller in his hand, changed the direction of output from down to up, and accelerated towards the bottom of the water.

——Canghai Command Room——

"Damn! Monkey business! Professor Mance slammed the microphone in his hand on the table of the battleship, and the quality of military industry once again proved that he was worthy of the word military industry, if it was an ordinary civilian microphone, such a throw, it is estimated that it would have been torn apart, but the microphone in front of him, not only did nothing, but it also hit Professor Mance in the chest after a bounce on the table.

"Professor Mance, the students of your school, are like this...... Is it personal? Liu Huaishan asked embarrassedly, "This is just like the king of soldiers in our Chinese war movies!" ”

"Well, they're still very obedient most of the time, only occasionally with a prickly head." Professor Mance said embarrassedly, "Damn, why did the principal agree to let that unlucky guy Liu Yuan come, it's really for me!" It was the same last time, and it was so reckless every time! ”

"Understand, you are arrogant, and with the blood of a dragon flowing in your body, it will definitely be a little difficult to control your temper." Liu Huaishan smiled, "When will we start fighting?" ”

"It's hard to say, the original plan was to lure Norton out with depth charges and forcibly stop his dragon body hatching, but now it seems that things are out of our control." Professor Mance frowned, looking annoyed, "And this dragon lord seems to be even smarter than we thought, and knows how to forcibly trap our exploration team through the liquid convection effect. ”

"Report!" A soldier in charge of communications walked over with a folder, then opened the folder, and said, "Captain, Professor Mance, the superior asked how long this operation will take, and it needs to be solved within 24 hours at the latest, otherwise the Three Gorges blockade of the shipping channel will be too long, and it needs to be explained to the people." ”

"It's hard to say, but we also hope to be faster, the variables of the dragon slaying operation are not predictable, I hope you can understand." Professor Mance said, but his face was as black as the bottom of the pot, when he dealt with the fourth or fifth generation in the past, it was not so difficult at all, basically as soon as the cannon sounded, the task was completed, as long as the location of the dragon was determined, there was basically no need to worry, but the current situation was obviously beyond expectations.

"If the superior replies within 20 hours, if it can't be solved, the garrison of the Three Gorges Base will be dispatched and bombers will be dispatched to bomb." The soldier said, "I can't guarantee the integrity of the dragon king's body, but in order not to affect the passage of the waterway, I can only make this decision. ”

"Got it, you go down first!" Liu Huaishan saluted and said, "Professor Mance, are there any hope for us?" ”

"It's hard to say, it's up to Liu Kite to them." Professor Mance sighed and said, this is also the domineering of this ancient civilization, saying one for one, saying two for two, there will be no room for negotiation, and when it cannot be solved perfectly, it will definitely choose to sacrifice some interests in exchange for all interests.

"Professor Mance, the principal said that after 20 hours, if you can't complete the task, just give up the mission, we, there is no way to resist the official in China, the secret party has been operating here for many years and is walking on thin ice, this country is really well protected." Caesar walked over and whispered a few words in Mance's ear.

"Hmm." Mance nodded, and at the same time prayed in his heart that the Liu Yuan and the others below could succeed, after all, even if the bomber arrived as scheduled, if it wanted to kill the prince-level dragon clan, it was very likely that the legendary nuclear weapons would be used, and at that time, the two sides of the river would really be devastated, and the secrets of the dragon clan would never be hidden, and these were not what the secret party wanted to see.

-- Underwater --

"Here's the gate, the last time I came, this was it." Liu Qi looked at the living spirit in front of him and said, "Let's go, let's go in!" ”

"Not good!" Susie was in her pockets, and was shocked for a while, "The blood of the 'key' is lost!" ”

"Then use our blood!" Liu Qiyi gritted his teeth, took out the special underwater fighting alloy knife directly from his thigh, and then slashed his diving compression suit apart with a bang, and then discharged the spirit of the engine into the surrounding water, and pressed his arm into the mouth of the living spirit.

"Hiss~" Rao is Liu Kite's strong physique, and he is still inevitably sensitive to pain, the moment the living spirit bites through the epidermis, Liu Qi feels unprecedented pain, indeed, since he came to the new world, Liu Qi has rarely been injured, and his fourth-generation divine body is also immune to pain.

"Boom!" The living soul, which had absorbed the blood, opened his mouth with satisfaction, and the huge bronze door behind him was slowly opened, and the huge water pressure directly pushed the three of them into the hall, maybe Liu Qi's dust-free place can drain the water flow, but the continuous rushing water column behind will still give Liu Qi a lot of thrust, so it is completely impossible to stand still.

"Come in!" Liu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, "Depth charges, it's useless." Liu Qi casually threw aside the huge cube depth charge in his hand, because it was no longer needed.

In front of the three of them, a man in a white robe, holding a teacup, made himself tea, as if no one was around, as if he didn't care about Liu Qi and the three of them at all, Rao was a huge depth charge, which did not attract the slightest attention from the other party.
