"We're already in the Yangtze River basin, Kassel's S-class."

The sound of the crew came from the noise-canceling headphones, and Lu Mingfei ended his contemplation and prayer and opened his eyes.

He looked sideways out of the porthole of the helicopter, the towering Wushan Mountains were covered with greenery, the rugged and steep ravines were like the backs of giant beasts lurking on the vast land, and the winding and magnificent rivers roared between the mountains.

If the weather had been better and the sun was shining, the scenery would have been even more magnificent, but the gloomy clouds in the sky above the helicopter were like a dark ocean that could pour down at any moment.

"Wonderful world, wonderful planet."

Lu Mingfei sighed in his heart, his determination to purify the chaos heretics and never let them get their hands on it was as firm as steel.

However, His Majesty the Emperor does not seem to have any desire to recover his home planet - you must know that during the Great Expedition at the peak of the human empire, the fleet under the Emperor's command was across the galaxy, recovering one lost human colony planet after another.

What if one day the emperor allowed himself to lead a team to bring his homeland under his protection? Will these complicated and uneven countries in my hometown obediently bow down to their vassals? It is said that during the Great Expedition, many planets refused to submit to the Emperor, and were conquered by force led by the Astarte Legion.

If it really comes to that point, he should become a traitor in the eyes of the humans in his hometown...... Ah no, it should have become a "ball rape".

Forget it, now is not the time to think about this. Lu Mingfei retracted his thoughts and returned to calm.

It's now five days since the phone call came from Angena. As soon as he put down the phone, Eva immediately arranged for him to be a swimming and diving instructor.

Thanks to the half-breed's physical fitness and high level of understanding, Lu Mingfei learned to swim on the first day, dive deep on the second day, and on the third day, he began to swim in Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, and the jaws of the retired SEAL members were almost dropping.

But as Lu Mingfei himself said, he can exert great combat power on land/air/battleship, but not necessarily underwater, it is completely two concepts, a boxing champion runs underwater to fight a frogman and loses - although he put down the instructor underwater after several hours of learning in the fourth day of underwater combat lessons.

The second is weapons, water is 800 times denser than air, and the faster the bullet is discharged, the greater the drag it causes underwater, and "Mythbuster" has tested that when fired with a supersonic sniper rifle in a deep area such as a swimming pool, the bullet turned into fragments.

Therefore, it is impossible to carry a blaster under water, so you can only rely on a harpoon, a weapon with a large mass and slow muzzle velocity...... But what you have to face underwater on this trip is not a big fish or prawn, but a dragon, an amphibious alien of land, sea and air, and the great white shark is similar to a cat or a dog compared to a dragon.

"The local meteorological bureau has issued a red storm and rain warning, and it is estimated that there will be heavy rain in the Kuimen River basin tonight......" The pilot piloted the helicopter and jumped over a high mountain, and the vision in front of the window suddenly opened up, and the gloomy river set off boundless raging waves, "We have arrived at Qutang Gorge." ”

"Boom!"

A thunderous explosion even overshadowed the roar of the helicopter propeller, and the black clouds were about to destroy the city, and the mountain rain was about to come.

"Although Yiling is windy and windy, storms in this season are really rare." Someone spoke.

Lu Mingfei was not accompanied by the members of the Holy Blood Pavilion that he was familiar with, nor were they members of the Executive Department of Kassel.

The name "Lu Mingfei" has been remembered by all half-race forces in the world, including "orthodoxy". Perhaps because of their mutual cooperation, the Orthodoxy learned the behind-the-scenes news of the Rome incident, and coupled with the accident on the cruise ship Bailmos last month, they were quite wary of this S-class big boy who would go wherever he went, after all, the location of this joint exploration was really sensitive and inconvenient.

They only allowed Lu Mingfei to participate in the operation alone, and did not allow him to bring his family members with him, and Lu Mingfei's original idea of bringing Fingal and Alchemy Sergeant Lao Tang over was shattered.

The helicopter leans forward and accelerates forward, and the pilot wants to reach its destination before the storm. The only huge tugboat on the dimly lit river in the distance had been lit up with its ship lights and landing lights, and it was ready to meet them.

After about ten minutes, the sky was completely dark, and when Lu Mingfei stepped on the deck of the Moniach, the torrential rain poured down, giving him the grandest welcome...... Or the eviction ceremony.

Lu Mingfei frowned slightly, this icy rainstorm reminded him of the pseudo-god Odin, and the alien White King, the "elemental turbulence" was presented in a stormy manner.

"But at least the rainwater in my hometown is clean enough to drink." He was ready to fight at any time, and the Pure Moon Sacred Sword, which could kill demons, was carried behind him and sheathed.

"Welcome, S-Class!" Mance. Professor Rundstedt walked over quickly and said loudly, his captain's trench coat blown by the wind, "I remember you listened to my lectures last semester!" Let's go to the cabin first! ”

Lu Mingfei just nodded, and silently followed Professor Mance into the cabin of the Moniach, and as the hatch closed, the icy storm outside was temporarily cut off.

As soon as he walked into this warm cabin, Lu Mingfei felt the gaze and scrutiny of nearly ten lines of sight, and Lu Mingfei's gaze also swept over the faces of these people, and the amazing thing was that most of the people in this cabin, including him, were Asian faces, only Professor Mance and another black-haired girl with Latin beauty were two "foreigners".

"Hello, S-class! I'm a fan of yours! Can you give me an autograph! The Latina beauty came up excitedly, with a rosy face and a pen and paper in her hand.

"Thelma, watch the occasion." Professor Mance coughs and reminds.

"This is the temporary operations conference room, introduce, our S-class in Kassel, Lu Mingfei."

Mance proudly introduced Lu Mingfei to the crowd, and the words "Kassel's S-class" were particularly heavy.

Subsequently, he began to introduce everyone to Lu Mingfei one by one.

"Mr. Zhou Zhenlong, the representative of the orthodox side of this joint exploration operation." The standard Chinese face man nodded solemnly.

"Mr. Zhou Yuanjian, an orthodox dragon hunting feng shui master." The gray-haired old man sat in the corner of the cabin, staring intently at the black and quaint compass in his hand.

"Ms. Chen." A noblewoman-like woman was attentive to the baby in her arms, and quickly withdrew her gaze.

"Miss Li Yinxing, the protector sent by the orthodox side, in a sense...... It's the same as the location. ”

"Hello, S-class, I've heard of a big name for a long time," the pretty athletic girl in a white Adidas tracksuit with a high ponytail stood up with a smile, stepped forward to shake Lu Mingfei's hand, and then took the initiative to pinch his shoulder, and commented, "You are more handsome than the photo, and your figure is not bad, you must be very attractive in Kassel." ”

"Hello." Lu Mingfei didn't care about the girl's movements, just responded politely.

And the other party does have good strength, but it's a pity that the legion doesn't recruit women, otherwise he would have opened his mouth to try to recruit the other party into his own legion.

And the girl's style of speech always reminded him of the Fingal brothers.

"It's more stuffy than I expected~" The girl snorted and sat back in her place, next to her seat there was an eight-sided bronze sword with a simple shape, and the hilt of the sword was decorated with warm jade.

After the "politeness" between the two was over, Professor Mance introduced the remaining people to Lu Mingfei:

"Selma, my student, serves as the communications commander for this operation."

The Latin girl smiled sweetly at Lu Mingfei.

"Ye Sheng, Jiu De Yaji, the commissioner of the executive department, is also my student, and is the most critical dive explorer in this operation."

The two of them stood up straight at the same time, their coats draped in black wetsuits that they had already woon, and the emblem of the half-decayed silver World Tree on their chests.

Lu Mingfei nodded at them, this kind of bad weather coupled with the possibility of dragon aliens underwater, there is no doubt that the task of the two of them is the most dangerous. However, guessing that he might act with them next, he added, "I'll protect you." ”

“……”

Ye Sheng and Jiu De Aki were stunned for a moment, as if they didn't expect the S-level to say such a sentence, but the former quickly reacted and responded with a smile:

"With your S-level words, then I can rest assured."

Lu Mingfei nodded seriously, looked at the girl with a sweet face beside Ye Sheng, and suddenly remembered the thin woman named Jiude Mai.

However, he didn't care, so he didn't ask Jiu De Aki more if he knew each other.

Lu Mingfei looked for a place and wanted to sit down, but saw Li Yinxing beckoning with a smile, Lu Mingfei didn't think much about it, and sat straight to the other party's side.

"Then let's get straight to the point," Professor Mance pulled open the tactics board, on which a strategic map of the underwater environment and terrain was drawn, and a striking circle was drawn in the middle of the strategy map with a red pen, "After Mr. Zhou Yuanjian's feng shui positioning, we have preliminarily confirmed the waters where the White Emperor City is located. ”

"The intersection of mountains and rivers is the place where the dragon stops, if the dragon stops, there must be a ...... from the water world" The old man of the fairy wind bone did not raise his head, "Forget it, you can't understand it if you talk too much." Anyway, the White Emperor City is below us, and if you want to reverse the Dragon King's fight, you'd better take it easy. ”

"Do you think that the dragon clan should also look at the dragon vein when they build a family and build a tomb?" Li Yinxing leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know." Lu Mingfei was only interested in the White Emperor City, which was suspected of being an alchemy military factory.

"Yes, after the sonar observation instrument and Ye Sheng's word spirit 'snake' determined, there are quite huge bronze objects buried under this body of water, and ninety percent of the entities revealed by Norma through simulation modeling match the outline of the building group." Professor Mance's face softened slightly:

"In addition to the fifty-meter-deep water body between the White Emperor City and us, there is an unstable rock formation structure of nearly fifty meters, fortunately, a small crustal movement a few days ago allowed us to find a crack that is only less than ten meters away from the White Emperor City."

"Now that the underwater drilling rig is operating at full capacity, it is expected that the crack will be opened in two hours, and at that time, we will start our first dive exploration operation."

Professor Mance looked at the huge machinery outside the cabin that rumbled and was fixed to the deck, an underwater drilling rig that was forming a deafening duet with the thunder of the storm.

"This sudden storm has covered us," Zhou Zhenlong, a middle-aged man with a Chinese face, said in a deep voice, "or the movement of the drilling machine will soon attract the attention of others." ”

"It sounds like good luck is on our side, Master Zhou, did you have some kind of transfer ceremony for us?" Li Yinxing said with a smile.
