On top of the Moniach, Professor Mance stood in front of the cab window, and next to the monitor was his student Thelma, probably in his twenties, with a typical Latin beauty.

In the forward cabin, everyone stared at their screens, operating silently, monitoring the hull and surroundings at all times.

And Ye Sheng and Aki had already put on their diving suits and stood outside the cabin, ready to dive, two lifelines connected to them respectively, not only that, but there was also a separate signal line between the two of them connected to each other.

Lu Mingfei is tied to a long knife behind his back, watching their movements, if there is any abnormal situation, he will be ready to rescue at any time.

"The dive begins." Professor Mance's order was given.

"Roger."

Ye Sheng and Jiu De Aki are the executive department who entered at the same time, from the beginning of enrollment to now, they have been partners for five years, and they only need one look at each other to understand each other's thoughts, after the order was given, the two glanced at each other and started the diving mission,

Shortly after they entered the water, the weather suddenly changed, and what was only a light rain became heavier and heavier.

In the middle of the night, a storm came, the rain was wild, and the wind speed reached about level five.

Therefore, Lu Mingfei also entered the cab and waited for the news from Ye Sheng and Aki.

Thelma monitored the heartbeat rate of the two of them in the heartbeat monitoring window.

"After receiving a signal from the Maritime Safety Administration, not only will the storm continue in the second half of the night, but the wind will also increase to about level ten, which is a rare heavy rain." The third mate conveyed the message to Professor Mance.

Professor Mance nodded, not saying more.

"Is it okay with such a torrential rain and strong winds?" Lu Ming has no doubts.

"The Moniach is a modified warship, and a Tier 12 Storm is not a problem for it, so there is no need to worry." Professor Mance explained.

At a depth of fifty meters underwater, Ye Sheng and Aki are diving here, deep diving is quite dangerous, relying only on a signal line to maintain contact with the human world, and people's mood is easy to be overly nervous.

With the presence of each other, their mood under the water can always be calmed down quickly.

It's just that the discipline of the executive department strictly prohibits people who cooperate underwater to have emotions between men and women, and Ye Sheng and Aki are also the ace partners of the executive department, so the requirements for them are more stringent, so the two of them have never expressed any feelings.

They reached the bottom of the water, where the storm was filtered by a fifty-meter layer of water, where only gentle waves remained.

"Norma, I need sonar to scan the terrain." Ye Sheng said.

"Request received, sonar scan ready." Norma's voice rang out.

The three-dimensional sonar map was immediately displayed on the screen of Ye Sheng and Aki's helmets, and the sound waves were far more useful in the water than light.

"According to the sonar map, according to Chinese feng shui, this is the place where the mountain dragon and the water dragon meet, and it is a good place to build a city, and the ruins of the White Emperor City may be here, and we need to find the location of his entrance." Ye Sheng said after observing.

"I need a fixed point." Ye Sheng looked at Aki.

Aki smiled slightly, swam to Ye Sheng's back, flippers popped out steel claws, grabbed the underwater rocks, and hugged him tightly from behind with both hands.

This is the tacit understanding that the two of them have always had, Ye Sheng's body will become very weak when he uses his words, and he will be easily carried away by the current, so Aki always holds him like this when he is working underwater.

"Snake of Words."

With the release of the spirit of words, Ye Sheng released several biological currents centered on himself, which was his "snake".

This ability can explore the surrounding environmental information for Ye Sheng, and in an excellent conductor, the "snake" will be magnified many times.

At this time, Ye Sheng was observing the world from a special perspective, and groups of "snakes" entered all directions underwater, exploring everything for him.

At this time, he was conscious but his body became cold, and Aki hugged him tightly behind his back, letting him feel his body heat, even if the warmth was insignificant.

"Found it!"

With Ye Sheng's words, the snakes returned to his body, and his body temperature gradually rose.

Professor Mance and Aki are both waiting for Ye Sheng's recovery.

"Forty meters below us, the snakes are active, it's a reaction of metal, and it's very likely that the palace of the Lord of Bronze and Fire is here."

"Forty meters" Aki fell into deep thought.

"Ye Sheng Aki, prepare to float! Alerted that there could be a magnitude 5 earthquake underwater! Professor Mance's eager voice rang out.

"Okay, here we are, damn it, the earthquake has started!" Ye Sheng scolded.

The whole bottom of the water was shaking.

"Collect the line, get them quickly," Professor Mance roared, and before he could finish speaking, he heard the sound of breaking, the lifeline, broken.

Ye Sheng and Aki kept falling, and at this moment Ye Sheng just hugged Aki into his arms, and the two hugged each other tightly.

The signal was interrupted, and the lifeline was also a signal line, and Professor Mance was stunned for a moment.

Lu Mingfei also stared at the screen closely, and after seeing the heartbeat signal of the two of them disappear, he immediately stood up and was about to walk out of the cabin.

"Lu Mingfei, what are you going to do?" Professor Mance's somewhat trembling voice rang out.

"Save people." Lu Mingfei replied thoughtlessly.

"This situation."

Professor Mance was constantly fighting in his heart, these were his two proud students, who emotionally wanted to save themselves, but the memory of the mission in the Greenland Ice Sea ten years ago was in his mind.

In that operation, he also encountered a similar situation, but the student and tutor who went only came back one and a half people, he didn't want Lu Mingfei to encounter the same situation, he was just a freshman.

"Lu Mingfei, I reject your rescue application." Professor Mance said.

"That's your student!" Lu Mingfei looked at Professor Mance coldly.

"Leave the rescue mission to me, I'll just go, I'm just a freshman." This is Professor Mance's response.

Lu Mingfei was stunned, and before he could continue to say anything, a voice sounded in the cabin.

"Although I understand your eagerness, I want to say that we don't need rescue now."

"Ye Sheng?" Professor Mance could hear it in his voice, "What's going on over there?" ”

"Aki and I are still alive, and I am talking to you through the current of the Serpent, and we have reached the Palace of the Lord of Bronze and Fire. Ye Sheng looked at the bronze wall in front of him and said in a low voice.

Ye Sheng and Aki looked straight ahead under the water, where a bronze wall stood, extending infinitely upward, down, left and right.

"It's a bronze city." Aki also said softly.

"There's something in there, and my snakes are terrified." Ye Sheng said.

"The one that can terrify the snakes may be Norton's own grave." Professor Mance explained.

"This is perhaps the greatest discovery of our secret party in thousands of years, and we will witness the palace of Norton, one of the four great monarchs."

"Ye Sheng, Aki, I'll personally replace the equipment for you later, but the time is only two hours, because the oxygen can only last so long, and someone may come over to check the situation in two hours, we have been delaying for a while."

"Roger, Captain, but we can't find an entrance to this bronze wall." Ye Sheng replied.

"Okay, I'll bring the key. ”

After explaining the situation to the Rector , Professor Mance walked to the rear cabin, where a woman was holding a baby, probably thirty or forty years old.

Mance looked at the baby in his arms and reached over to him.

"Be careful with him, he's the only "key" we have at the moment, he can open everything or anything like that. ”

"I will." Professor Mance carefully held the baby.

Sticking out from the bottom, Professor Mance swam in the direction of Ye Sheng and Aki in a special wetsuit, in front of which was a bag made of clear material, and inside was a baby in an extra-small wetsuit.

A faint golden color shimmered in the baby's eyes.

Professor Mance gestured, and Ye Sheng and Aki expressed their understanding, and they put their hands on his shoulders.

Professor Mance closed his eyes and placed his hands on the bronze wall, chanting something in his mouth.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, "Speech Spirit, Dustless Land." ”

In an instant, the river that surrounded him swirled around him, and a transparent space continued to expand outward around him, forming a round ball, and the water was displaced, and they were now in it.

The motif on the bronze wall is also revealed, which is a painful face, bulging against the wall.

Professor Mance then took the baby out of his wetsuit and lifted him up to the raised face.

I actually saw a trace of solemnity in this child, he just stared at this face, stretched out his hand, and pointed a finger at the center of the eyebrow of the face.

A streak of blood flowed down its face, and the blood soaked the painful face.

After the bronze face sucked the blood, a roar erupted from the depths of the walls.

A pitch-black hole appeared on the wall.

"This is the living spirit?" Ye Sheng was surprised.

"Yes, this is a great achievement of alchemy, using the purest substance to contain the spirit, and the blood of the key can only keep him open for two hours, so you have to come on." Professor Mance patted them on the shoulder.

After stopping the blood on the baby's fingers, he handed them a black iron box, "Dragon King Norton hasn't woken up yet, our goal is to find the egg he left behind, take it away, and detonate this if it can't be taken away, this is an alchemy item given by the Equipment Department." ”

"Okay." Ye Sheng took the box.

Immediately after Professor Mance had put the baby away, he lifted the dusty place and returned to the ship.

On the ship, everyone looked at the photos of Ye Sheng and Aki below, one by one huge gears snapped together, and there were many such structures in the Bronze City below, this is the palace cast by the Lord of Bronze and Fire himself, representing the apex of alchemy.

And under this structure, there is still thin air in the Bronze City.

"Found a brass jar, we had an instinctive fear when we saw it, I thought, the egg of the dragon king Norton should be in it." Ye Sheng said.

"Well done!" Professor Mance pounded the bulkhead excitedly, "You can come back, and I'll give you a celebration banquet when you get back." ”

Ye Sheng and Aki glanced at each other in the Bronze City, and their eyes were full of joy.

Before he could be happy, Ye Sheng shook suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Aki asked eagerly.

"The "snakes" I left around to keep watch fled from here, as if they were terrified. Ye Sheng's mind was now filled with great fear, and countless snakes in his body also wanted to escape.

"Oh no, the mechanism of the Bronze City is open, and the whole city is moving, is it because of this brass pot?" Ye Sheng looked at the brass pot in his hand, and then said to Aki, "We need to evacuate as soon as possible." ”

"It's too late." Aki looked around, the gears of the Bronze City were running rapidly, and the front had turned into an intricate labyrinth.

"Ye Sheng and Aki are trapped inside, their oxygen is decreasing every minute and every second, we must find a way to survive for them as soon as possible."

"Our information only has a picture they took, which should be a stele cast in this bronze city, and now we need to analyze it." Professor Mance said eagerly to Ange on the other end of the phone.

"I will gather all the students and professors of A-level and above bloodline to analyze it as soon as possible." Ange's voice was no longer as gentle as Lu Mingfei had ever seen.

"That means there's no map and you can't find the exit, right?" Lu Mingfei asked suddenly.

Mance was stunned for a moment with Ange, who was on the other side of the phone.

"Give me a computer, and send me the photos and 3D models that Bronze City took before." Lu Mingfei said to Professor Mance.

"Okay." Mance staggered over his computer, and he was going to grab any straw if he could save his students.

Lu Mingfei looked at his laptop, and remembered what Naruto said to him on the CC1000 express train.

"Black Sheep Wall unlocked, and with it, you'll get a detailed map of your surroundings."

Lu Mingfei quickly entered this cheat code on the computer.

Just a few seconds later, the interface of the computer changed instantly, and a huge three-dimensional map appeared, on the map, the bronze city was parsed into a mechanism, the mechanism was running, and the road was constantly blocked and generated.

Professor Mance and the surrounding researchers on the ship all looked at Lu Mingfei like monsters.

Originally, I was going to let the personnel above the A-level bloodline give it a try and see if they could see anything from the spiritual vision, but I didn't expect it to be cracked like this, is this the S-class? Everyone was in awe.

Information poured into Ye Sheng's brain, but there was too much information, and the huge pain seemed to tear his brain apart.

The escape path changed every moment, and finally, with the help of the "key", they found a real escape route, directly below, just swimming straight down.

"At forty-five meters, it will take three minutes for the oxygen supply." Selma said.

"With the amount of time they spend holding their breath and diving for them, they're just right to get out!" Professor Mance couldn't stop being excited, and kept walking around in front of the cab, and finally, his students could come out safely, which was a rare gaffe for him, and he was really happy.

"That's not right!" Lu Mingfei suddenly shouted, "The position of the escape is directly below the Bronze City, they can break away, but they don't have time to surface at all!" ”

"Boom~"

The thunder in the sky sounded, the tenth-level wind howled, and the waves on the water surface kept rolling.

Ye Sheng untied the spirit and held Aki's hand.

"We're running out of time." Jiu De Aki opened the mask and looked at Ye Sheng gently, as if he wanted to keep Ye Sheng in his heart.

"Plenty of time." Ye Sheng also opened the mask, and the thin air made it difficult for him to speak.

"Let's stay here, there's not much time left, I want to look at you, I, I actually." Aki's tears kept flowing, and she was choked up and speechless.

"I love you." Ye Sheng kissed Aki directly.

Aki looked at Ye Sheng blankly.

When he first entered school, Ye Sheng was only an eighteen-year-old boy, but his swimming was the best in the class, and he was just a stupid duck.

Although he was always annoyed, he actually liked him at that time.

"Time is enough, don't lie to you." Ye Sheng jumped into the water from the ground of Bronze City with Aki in his arms.

He could feel that there was a behemoth behind him, and it was about to speed up the delivery of Aki.

Professor Mance looked at the storm outside in a daze, and after being reminded by Lu Mingfei, he knew that Ye Sheng and Aki had no chance of surviving at all.

At this time, Lu Mingfei walked out of the back cabin, he was already wearing a diving suit, an oxygen cylinder behind his back, an oxygen cylinder in his hand, and a long knife tied to his waist.

"What are you doing?" Professor Mance looked at Lu Mingfei.

"Oh, go down and deliver them a courier."

Lu Mingfei walked outside the cabin and jumped into the water against the strong wind.
