Chapter 93: Slaying the Dragon
Mount St. Lucia, cliff at the top of the mountain.
It was early in the morning, and it should have been a light day, but the dark clouds suppressed the morning sun, and the wind shook the canopy.
Chu Zihang stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down on the town below, his gaze sweeping over the buildings that served as alchemy nodes.
Not only Lu Mingfei and Susie, but also Old Tang, Old Patriarch, and Turio were also behind themβthey were responsible for answering the battle outside for the battle that broke into the branch hall before.
"It's a large alchemical matrix." Chu Zihang's complexion changed rarely.
"Senior brother, can you explain it briefly?" Lu Ming was not curious.
"The alchemy matrix is a large-scale alchemy field formed by establishing a large alchemy node and then connecting multiple nodes, which is simpler than the conventional alchemy matrix, but the efficiency is also lower, and the same resource consumption alchemy matrix can play a role that is several times stronger than the alchemy matrix, and the alchemy matrix is equivalent to burning several times the upper limit of resources."
"The normal alchemy matrix will condense powerful power in all nodes, while the split matrix cannot radiate the power because of the large number of nodes and the large area, so it can only converge in the most important node to form the field, and the other nodes can only be used as a transit and support, according to Valdis, the field node of the divided matrix, on the artificial island where the shrine of Our Lady of Anguo Nia is established, when we go to sea on a yacht, we pass nearby."
"Can you solve the problem by blowing up all these buildings on the shore?" Lu Mingfei proposed.
The old patriarch stepped forward: "The Salvadoran family can help, we have some friends in the city hall and the military. β
"The Alchemy Sorting Matrix has been activated, even if those buildings are blown up, the power can be retained for a period of time," Chu Zihang shook his head, "This is another advantage of it." β
Lu Mingfei pondered for a moment and said seriously: "Senior brother, then let's stay on the mountain." β
"Senior Brother Lu, do you have a way?" Susie's eyes lit up.
"No," Lu Mingfei shook his head, "but staying on the mountain won't be flooded, by the way, I have to hurry up and pick up the little goddess." β
Susie was silent - this is your way?
"You stay on the mountain," Chu Zihang said suddenly, "I'll kill the Inspector General and Long." β
"Holy! Senior brother, calm down, that's a fourth-generation species, and now there is a domain buff," Lu Mingfei hurriedly stopped Chu Zihang, "Let's wait for the academy's support." β
"It's too late," Chu Zihang shook his head, "Within three hours, the spirit of words will be completed." β
Lu Mingfei still wanted to say something, his eyes turned, his wrist suddenly shook, and the black knife pinched on his fingertips brought up a streamer, which sank into the back of Valdis's head, and fell to the ground when he knelt on Valdiston.
Susie was stunned for a moment, Old Tang happened to be standing next to Valdis's corpse, looked down, and his face changed greatly: "Damn! This old boy just wanted to pull out a gun! β
"Chief, you didn't remove his weapon?" Susie wondered, it stands to reason that Chu Zihang would not make such a low-level mistake.
"It's a card pistol for spies," Old Tang picked up a small piece of black iron, "Damn, this old boy is really dark in his heart, and he carries this kind of thing with him." β
casually killed Valdis, Lu Mingfei was unexpectedly calm, and he didn't even have any real feeling, as if he had killed a cockroach or a mouse.
"You contact the city hall and evacuate the crowd," Chu Zihang said, "I'll go to the island." β
Lu Mingfei pulled the corners of his mouth, and said in his heart, Senior brother, you are too desperate, when you are Changshan Zhao Zilong or Tiger Prison Lu Bu? You're not a superman, you don't have a body of steel, so you can really sacrifice with such a sacrificial spirit.
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Mingfei stepped forward: "Senior brother, I'll go with you." β
What do you think you're playing? Do you have a near-death buff? If you want to play with your life, you have to be me! Lao Tzu's life is hard!
Chu Zihang was stunned for a moment, and was about to shake his head, when he saw Old Tang also take a step tremblingly: "I...... I'll go with you! β
Lu Mingfei glanced at Old Tang in surprise: "I didn't expect Old Tang to be so righteous!" β
"The gift of a meal will be repaid!" Old Don held his chest high.
If his legs hadn't shaken like an electric shock, he might have been a little arrogant.
"President, I'm ...... too," Susie stepped forward.
"You stay," Chu Zi said, "You don't have enough blood, and your spirit is not suitable for dealing with dragons." β
Susie's sword is extremely lethal when faced with a creature like a dragon covered in scales.
Susie still wanted to say something, but she pursed her lips at Chu Zihang's gaze and nodded unwillingly.
She also knew that she was likely to be delayed.
"Then I can't go too? I don't have a word. Old Tang looked expectant.
"You're going to regret it?!" The corners of Lu Mingfei's mouth twitched.
"I thought about it, face is not as important as life," Old Tang pointed in the direction of the distance, and said sincerely, "Look at those glowing lines in the sky, how scary, the ground is like a laser net, all of them are heading towards that island, and those who don't know think that the people inside are gathering vitality." β
"Light? Lines? Chu Zihang was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed slightly, "You can see the trajectory of the alchemy matrix!" β
"What?" Old Tang was stunned.
Lu Mingfei stared at the sky with wide eyes, but he didn't find the "glowing lines" in Old Tang's mouth.
"Only a very few people can see the power of the alchemy matrix with the naked eye," Chu Zihang stared at Old Tang, "This requires a strong bloodline and a unique alchemy talent, maybe you can interfere with the entire domain within the domain node." β
Old Tang cried with a sad face: "Then do I have to follow?" β
"I don't force it." Chu Zihang shook his head.
Lu Mingfei probed: "Old Tang, you are simply the chosen son!" β
"How do I feel like a forsaken child?" Old Don cried with a sad face.
"Are you really going?" The old patriarch hesitated, "That's a dragon, a pure-blooded dragon that only appears in legends, it's too dangerous......"
"Don't worry, Patriarch of Salvador," Lu Mingfei patted the old patriarch on the shoulder, looked at the man-made island looming in the distance, and said with a smile, "We are Kassel Academy, specializing in dragon slaying." β
β¦β¦
In the port of Viana do Castelo, the wind howled, the thunder seemed to roll down from the sky into the sea, the sea was rolling in the waves, and the sea seemed to turn black in this weather.
All the ships were docked in the harbor, and in such bad weather that no one dared to go to sea, except for a very few huge ships.
Lu Mingfei and the three of them stood by the sea.
"Our Kassel Academy, professional dragon slayer~" Old Tang repeated what Lu Mingfei had said before, and turned his head to look at Lu Mingfei, "Mingfei, when you said this somewhat ridiculous sentence, did you ever think that we didn't even have a way to get close to that island?" β
In such big waves, even a small yacht can capsize and sink into it, and it is impossible for a half-breed to swim that far.
Chu Zi Channel, "This should be the dragon that is releasing the spirit of words, using it as a means to protect itself, setting off big waves in the surrounding seas, and it will be difficult for a half-breed without a boat to approach it." β
"Brother Fei, don't you know how to put ice?" Old Tang said, "Can you freeze a way out?" Let's run over there. β
"It is estimated that it will take nearly two hours to sail from here to that island," Lu Mingfei put down his binoculars, "Are you nuclear-powered for me?" β
"Why don't we just take a boat and go?" Old Tang proposed, "We are people who are here to save a town, it should be reasonable to borrow a ship, right?" β
"Well, that's reasonable," Lu Mingfei nodded, "then who will drive the boat?" β
Old Tang and Chu Zihang shook their heads together.
"Someone." Chu Zihang suddenly looked at the corner of the port.
Lu Mingfei also noticed it, looked over almost at the same time, and raised his guard at the same time - this kind of ghost weather, can the people who come to the port be normal people?
However, to his surprise, the person who came turned out to be an acquaintance.
"Old Captain?" Lu Mingfei's eyes widened.
The swarthy majestic old man walked towards them generously, dressed in a fisherman's clothes and a wide-brimmed straw hat, and also looked surprised: "Guest, why are you here?" β
"What are you doing here?" Chu Zihang asked, holding the knife.
Now that an "acquaintance" has suddenly appeared, it is difficult not to doubt its identity and purpose.
"I'm going to sea, I'm retired, I'm going to go to sea to travel the world." As soon as the old captain said this, Chu Zihang was already ready to rush forward to subdue him - this excuse was too clumsy.
"Out to sea in this weather? Uncle, I'm afraid you want to go to the sea to be buried. Old Tang complained.
You're right, I'm afraid he really went to bury himself at sea. Lu Ming is not in the heart.
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Mingfei said, "Old captain, if you go to sea, can you give us a ride?" β
"Huh? No, no," the old captain shook his head repeatedly, "it's easy for a ship to capsize when going to sea in this weather." β
Old Tang looked puzzled: "Uncle, are you confused?" Do you know that it is easy to capsize the boat when you wear it, so what kind of sea do you have to go to? β
"I'm old, dying on the sea is the best funeral," the old captain shook his head, "but you are still young people, you must know how to stay away from danger and cherish life......"
Lu Mingfei pondered for a few seconds, looked at the old captain, and said seriously: "Don't hide it, we are actually going to save the world." β
Old Captain: ???
Lu Mingfei was extremely sincere: "Do you know "Pirates of the Caribbean" and sea monsters? β
β¦β¦
The rain is pouring down, and the pirate-style yacht sails on the dark sea, with thunder, rain and waves mingling.
"You're not really going to play adventure games or sneak into TV shows?" The old captain repeatedly confirmed, and shouted loudly.
"You've asked all the way," Lu Mingfei pointed to the man-made island in the distance through the glass of the captain's room, "Oh, that's it!" β
Lu Mingfei now knows why the last time they came, there were no big fish in the waters around here, because this ghost place TM hid a dragon!
"Shrine of Our Lady of Angonia!" The old captain picked up his binoculars and looked at the temple on the man-made island, "What kind of monster is that!" β
In the darkness, the statue of the temple was pushed to the ground, and where the statue had stood, stood a creature much more majestic than the African elephant, its membranous wings folded behind its back, raising its slender neck like a snake, and its golden pupils piercing through the rain curtain.
"Water monsters!" Lu Mingfei said loudly.
"Young man, don't lie to me, that thing looks like a dragon no matter how you look at it!" The old captain shouted.
"Isn't it reasonable to call a creature that can start a tsunami a sea monster?" Lu Mingfei Dao.
The old captain was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement, and his blood boiled: "Let's go, let's go kill the sea monster!" I will be a great pirate than my ancestors! β
"It's us, not including you," Lu Mingfei reminded, "If you don't go over, we're three to two, and if you go over, we'll be three to three." β
The old captain felt insulted.
Old Don wandered around in the cabin, although Susie gave him two guns and a college-style alloy knife to defend himself, but this little thing was difficult to give him a sense of security, so he wanted to find out if there were any other guys in the boat.
Until he saw a shiny pirate cutlass hanging from the wall.
Old Tang's eyes lit up, he strode over and took down the knife, turned his head and shouted to the old captain: "Old man, can you lend me this knife?!" β
Almost at the same time as he said "use", the invisible force spread out along the blade, straight through the windshield of the captain's room, the glass instantly shattered, and the wind and rain poured in.
"it!" Lu Mingfei was startled, and turned his head to look at Old Tang, "Old Tang, have you awakened your words?!" β
Old Tang was also taken aback, he scratched his head: "No, it seems to be, it seems to be this knife!" β
After experiencing the initial surprise and bewilderment, the old captain didn't know if it was because of the big heart or the fearlessness of the dying man, as an ordinary person, he quickly eased up, and looked at the knife in the old Tang's hand excitedly: "This is the knife left by my ancestors!" I knew that my ancestors were not ordinary people! He's the King of the Pirates! β
God is a special One Piece! I'm still red-haired Shanks! Lu Mingfei choked.
Chu Zihang walked to Old Tang's side and glanced down, wisps of light flowed on the blade: "This should be an alchemy weapon, activated by your bloodline." β
"Holy! So hanging?! Old Tang carefully controlled the knife to retract its strength, looked at the old captain, and showed a flattering smile, "Do you think this knife can be borrowed for me?" β
"Don't borrow!" The old captain shook his head.
Old Tang began to consider the possibility of a robbery, and whether it was too immoral to do so.
"I've got it for you!" The old captain waved his hand.
"You're a hero, One Piece!" Old Tang exclaimed.
"One Piece will put it aside," Lu Mingfei pointed to the broken windshield and shouted at Old Tang, "Old Tang, come and plug this hole for me first!" β
"Isn't that great? Anyway, the console is waterproof, and only pirates can be considered in wind and rain! The old captain laughed and stood still in the wind and rain.
Lu Mingfei said in his heart that you are always quite a middle two, no wonder you like One Piece so much.
But then the old captain told him with his actions that just like a certain drill bit can break through the sky, there is no limit to this kind of thing in the second grade.
"Come on! Sailors, sing the pirate song with me! The old captain would soon regret his reckless proposal.
"We are pirates / Fierce pirates / With a bottle in our left hand / Treasure in our right hand......" the old captain sang.
Lu Mingfei didn't want to sing, because he was really incomplete, but the old captain stared at him with burning eyes, Lu Mingfei had to bite the bullet and speak: "We are pirates/pirates of freedom......"
"Stop, stop!" The old captain had to stop Lu Mingfei in the middle of his song, "Your tone is a little too free!" β
Lu Mingfei pouted: "I said I don't sing, you have to sing ......"
"Here you go!" The old captain looked at Chu Zihang.
Chu Zihang held Mura Yu with one hand, and he was like an unsheathed sword in the wind and rain: "Beautiful girls/Please come to my arms......"
The old captain covered his face.
Chu Zihang sang very well, every note was very accurate, but he sang this lyric with an expressionless and even murderous look, no matter how you look at it, he wants to trick the beautiful girl into his arms and then kill her.
Old Tang felt that he should also show it, although he didn't know what the three people were singing at all, but the atmosphere was set to this point, and it would be rude not to speak.
"Whoaβ"
Old Don howled enthusiastically, his voice bordering between the wild and the eunuch.
The old captain went back to sail in disgrace.
The artificial island is close at hand, the temple is raised with the dragon's neck raised to the sky, and the ancient mantra overcomes the thunder, rain, and waves.
"It's almost there," Lu Mingfei said suddenly, "stop Captain, it's too dangerous for you to get any closer." β
He rolled over and jumped out of the hole in the window, and fell to the sea at the same time as the cold burst out, condensing under his feet into a large ice floe platform that could be stood on, Chu Zihang and Lao Tang rolled out and fell one after another, and stood smoothly on the violently shaking ice floe platform - mainly Chu Zihang was relatively stable, and Lao Tang was a little swaying.
Waving goodbye to the stunned old captain, Lu Mingfei took Chu Zihang and Old Tang and strode towards the temple on the artificial island, leaving only the passage of ice floes.
It was only a moment later, the three people who could run on the surface of the sea had already landed, and the first thing Lu Mingfei saw was a few dry corpses in the corner of the templeβstrangely enough, they were all neatly dressed and had the hallmark of the Solomon Temple.
"It should be the Inspector General's personal soldiers," Chu Zi Hangdao said, "It must be a huge cost to set off a miniature tsunami, and they will probably be used by four generations to supplement nutrition." β
"I'm familiar with this, many bosses have just appeared, and in order to show how ruthless they are, they will sacrifice their own soldiers." Lu Mingfei complained.
"Let's go, while the spirit is not finished yet." Chu Zihang mentioned the forward rush, and Lu Mingfei and Lao Tang followed.
Stepping into the temple, Lu Mingfei saw Inspector Shilun standing on the back of the dragon at first sight, half of his body was covered with scales, and there was a "domain" on his body that was invisible to the naked eye, but could be felt, and connected him to the dragon.
And the greater realm spreads out from the dragon, and power builds up with its chanting.
At this time, the opening sentence is meaningless, wouldn't it be embarrassing to finish reciting the words and spirits on the other side of the kung fu of these two sentences?
So Chu Zihang raised his hand, his eyes were full of golden light, and there were also scales emerging from under his clothes-violent blood.
Unleash the furious side of your bloodline in exchange for a massive increase in power. Chu Zihang chanted a few short syllables as he ran.
A violent explosion exploded in front of the dragon, and its domain shook violently, although it could not be broken all at once.
The old Tang Dynasty wielded a sword with a dragon.
But in the next second, unexpectedly, the dragon spread its membrane wings and soared into the sky, the power extending from the alchemy scimitar slicing through one of its legs, but it could not stop it from taking off.
Shi Lun bowed his head in mid-air and glanced sarcastically at the three young people below.
The dragon seemed unable to fly long as it chanted the spirit, and soon began to land, gliding with its wings open in mid-air, and finally landing on the sea undulating, but not sinking.
"! Doesn't it mean that dragons are creatures of great dignity?! Lu Mingfei was stunned, as if Guo Jing saw that Ke Zhenwei was no longer hard-mouthed.
"Only the ancient dragon is like this," Chu Zi Hangdao said, "The four generations and below are considered low-level dragons, and they are not so strong. β
Lu Mingfei ran towards the outside of the temple: "Follow, I'll go and freeze the sea!" Attack its wings as soon as you get closer! β
Chu Zihang and Old Tang nodded, but then the three of them saw a nonsense scene - the pirate-style decorated yacht that sent them was charging towards the dragons floating on the sea!
Lu Mingfei was stupid, and said in his heart, old man, you don't drive a warship, you don't even have a ramming angle, what can a broken yacht do?
Do you really think you're the One Piece and eat rubber fruit like Luffy and use a rubber machine gun?
Lu Mingfei tried to shout for the old captain to stop, but the shouting was blown away in the wind and rain.
The dragon on the surface of the sea turned its body, because it was still chanting the spirit of speech, it could not release another spirit of speech, and it was not particularly easy for a head and four generations to destroy a two-story yacht with its physical body.
But it's a living thing, and it's much more flexible than a machine.
The body moved sideways on the sea, and the dragon grazed the yacht to avoid it.
In the next second, the yacht glowed brightly, then shattered in flames, exploding violently and blasting the surrounding sea to the ground.
Lu Mingfei on the shore suddenly remembered that the old captain had said that he would fill the bottom of the yacht with explosives, and when the boat could not be driven one day, the explosives would be detonated.
"Damn, it's really one piece now." Looking at the explosion on the sea, Lu Mingfei said softly.
