Everyone seemed to have long been accustomed to Li Yinxing's style of speaking and acting, and they didn't say much.

"Ye Sheng, Aki, in the last two hours, make all preparations, rest, warm up...... I don't want to receive an application from any of you underwater to go to the toilet. ”

Professor Mance said.

"Understood."

"Am I following them?" Lu Mingfei asked, he really wanted to confirm with his own eyes whether White Emperor City was really a military factory made of alien technology.

"No, they are the advance team, you stay on the ship for the time being, and wait for the detailed location of the Bronze City to be confirmed before going into the water." Professor Mance looked serious, "In the plan, you are the strongest weapon against the awakened dragons. ”

"And Li Yinxing. I really want to see the strength of the Li family's generation of the head of the Seven Stars. Zhou Zhenlong said.

"To be honest, I'm not very suitable for our style of mixing tomb robbers and immortals," Li Yinxing raised his hand weakly, "In addition, it is more secure for you to rely on me to quickly carry a nuclear bomb, and below is the nest of the King of Bronze and Fire, and I can only repair its claws and nails when I meet this monarch." ”

"But this is the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, and any armed strike will be regarded as a nuclear strike on the country." Zhou Zhenlong said solemnly.

"But the resurrection of a dragon king is no different from a nuclear strike," the noble lady surnamed Chen, who had been silent, finally spoke, "History records that Norton, the king of bronze and fire, is the most violent and hateful monarch of humans, and since the day he awakens, he will release the forbidden spirit 'candle dragon'. ”

"There's a good chance that the Tunguska explosion of 1908 will be replicated here." Professor Mance added a frightening fact, and then reassured, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't be so ...... Eh, how many people are worried? According to the professors of our academy, it will be at least ten years before the Norton monarch hatches from the cocoon...... Our first action at the moment is to locate the Bronze City and enter the city. ”

……

The storm was still raging, and the turbulent river was pitch black, except for the lights of the Moniach swaying on the water with the force 10 winds.

"The Yangtze River Waterway Maritime Safety Bureau warns that the wind may reach 12 tonight, and the rainfall may approach 200 mm, if there are special circumstances, they can be asked to send helicopters to rescue."

Thelma came to report.

"No, just answer with the same rhetoric that the orthodoxy has given us," Professor Mance's tense expression eased slightly, "There is a lot of trouble to be avoided by working with the local dragons, and I don't know what identity they registered for the Moniach." ”

"It's not going to capsize, is it?" Li Yinxing, who looked similar to a sports girl, asked while holding the Han Bafang Ancient Sword.

"No, the Moniach is ostensibly a tugboat, but it's actually a warship converted by the Ministry of Armament! If necessary, I'll drive it and crash into the resuscitated dragon king! ”

Professor Mance looked quite confident.

As soon as he finished speaking, several displays in the captain's wheelhouse lit up green, and the test data of the underwater drilling rig showed that the drill bit had drilled through the target crack.

"Ye Sheng, Aki, make the final preparations, the crack has been opened, and the diving operation will start at any time."

Professor Mance took a deep breath and informed his two main diver students.

"Greenland's thing...... It can't happen again. He said silently in his heart.

"Understood, Professor."

Ye Sheng and Jiu De Aki were in the wind and rain outside the cabin, they looked at the dark and turbulent river below, and the thunder in the sky, the silver white that lit up the world in a fleeting manner could not penetrate the darkness under the river.

People are born with a fear of the dark and unknown, and under this dark river lies the dragon king's bedroom, the dragon king's tomb.

"Aki, have you read the book "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" to rob the tomb?" Ye Sheng suddenly asked.

"No, I've only watched "Dream of Red Mansions". What does it mean to ghost blow the lamp? Akide's gaze remained on the dark river.

"There is a saying in the tomb robbing sect, which is called 'people light candles, ghosts blow out lamps', which means that when you enter the ancient tomb, you first light a candle, and if the tomb owner does not let you in, the lamp will be blown out...... Did you say the Dragon King would welcome us to his house? ”

"And you want to sneak candles down?" Aki Aki was interested.

"How do you light a candle underwater?" Ye Sheng couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the atmosphere of fear was diluted a little, "Do you remember that ......?"

Before he finished speaking, he was covered by Jiu De Aki's eyes resentfully: "According to the animation on our side, if you continue to talk about it, it will belong to the flag." Don't think about it, we just have to trust each other. ”

Ye Sheng was helpless and made an OK gesture.

"Ah!"

Li Yinxing didn't know when he came up behind them and patted the two of them on the shoulder, "There are actually only pineapple houses and SpongeBob SquarePants down there, and he will treat you to a delicious crab castle after going down...... Isn't it much easier to think about it this way? ”

The two of them can't do anything about this eccentric girl, first, because she has a special identity, and she is a sword that is benchmarked against the orthodox side, second, she has a good personality and is familiar with herself, and third, she knows the secret relationship between the two.

The discipline of the Kassel Enforcement Department prohibits the relationship between men and women who cooperate underwater, and claims that the accident damage in the Greenland Ice Sea is because someone violated this discipline, and the surviving man has a nervous breakdown and becomes a madman - but no one knows what the accident in the Greenland Ice Sea was, who the man was, and what the result was.

If Professor Mance had known about this, he would have stopped the operation and replaced one of them, but it was impossible for the couple to have their significant other hand over their back to someone they didn't know...... The relationship between young couples in love is stronger than the old professors imagined.

"The Emperor will protect you,"

Lu Mingfei stepped forward in the torrential rain, his expression calm, "And my promise has always been valid, you must protect yourself and the people around you first in case of danger." ”

"The Emperor's ......"

Ye Sheng and Jiu De Aki glanced at each other, the fact that the S-class was a religious believer had already spread throughout Kassel, and the "emperor" was the god that the other party believed in.

"With the words of S-level you, we feel a lot more at ease." Aki said with a chuckle.

The chatter didn't last long, the Moniach restarted its engines, sailed against the turbulent river and strong winds for nearly 100 meters, and then stopped at anchor—

This is to prepare for a dive, which is difficult for the diver to dive vertically to the crevasse in this complex current situation, and if the boat goes a little further against the current, the diver can dive to the designated position without exerting too much physical effort.

The two men on the dive are doing their final physical condition checks, and the crew on board are fixing the communication line and leash for their wetsuits, and even if something happens underwater, the high-powered winch at the other end of the tow rope can pull the two out of the water.

"The flow of water at the crack channel, as well as its own stability, have been calculated by Norma, and the safety factor is 96% under normal conditions, which is quite an excellent figure...... Good luck. ”

On the deck designated for diving, Ye Sheng and Jiu De Aki sat side by side, with their backs to the dark wind and rain and river outside the ship. The communication headset rang with Professor Mance's voice.

"It's just a regular dive training."

"Hmm."

The two shook hands in the storm, and a flash of thunder turned the slippery deck white, and by this time the two figures had disappeared, and the river outside the ship was not lacking in the surging splash.

"Start diving! Three-meter ...... Five-meter ...... Ten meters ......"

"It's normal! Personnel's physical data is normal! ”

"Ye Sheng, Aki, I'm Professor Mance......"

……

Professor Mance and his student assistant Selma began to enter the intense and hectic monitoring and command work, leaving only Lu Mingfei and Li Yinxing in the storm outside the cabin.

"This kind of weather is best for sleeping at home in the bed." Li Yinxing wiped a handful of rain from her pretty face, and suddenly let out a lament.

Lu Mingfei was silent, just staring at the dark river surface in a daze.

"What? Sage time to think about life? ”

Li Yinxing stared at Lu Mingfei's resolute and handsome face, and his words began to be indecent again.

"Listen carefully." Lu Mingfei's expression gradually became cold, his eyes were stained with a thin layer of golden mist, and he scanned back and forth at the darkness that the lights outside the ship could not illuminate.

"Listen?" Li Yinxing was stunned for a moment, but when he saw that Lu Mingfei's expression was wrong, he also pricked up his ears and listened carefully, but in addition to the roar of the torrential rain pouring into the river, the howling of the wind hammering and the thunder that shook his ears from time to time, where was there ......

Wrong.

Li Yinxing's pretty face changed, she didn't have a serious bloodline on the surface, but she was really top-notch, otherwise she wouldn't have been selected as the head of the Seven Stars of Raushzi...... She really caught a little bit of a different sound in the noisy ambient sounds.

It was the sound of a speedboat's motor.

"Report to the captain! The radar shows that multiple unidentified ships are rapidly approaching us! ”

The first mate of the Moniach, who was monitoring the radar and weather conditions, noticed the anomaly and immediately reported it to Professor Mance.

"It's broken! It can't be the Marine Police! Grass, didn't the people of the Zhou family say that their relationship is very hard! It's over, we're holding controlled knives...... Oh no! I'm a relic! ”

Li Yinxing panicked, as if he wanted to hide the Han Bafang Ancient Sword he was holding, but found that there was nowhere to hide.

"You didn't listen carefully enough." Lu Mingfei said lightly, pulling out the Jingyue in the scabbard.

The scabbard was made by an alchemy sergeant, and he made this kind of thing like pinching plasticine, "Be more careful." ”

Li Yinxing was silent, put away her panicked expression, her eyes slowly closed, and when she opened them again, she was already a pair of dazzling golden pupils-

Although it was not a "golden ear", this state did bring an all-round sensory boost to the half-bloods, and this time, Li Yinxing heard another voice hidden under the river, almost completely covered by heaven and earth.

It was as if a baby was crying.
