Yangtze River, 50 meters below the water surface.

Lu Mingfei, Ye Sheng, and Jiu De Aki slowed down, and each of them had a signal line that extended upwards into the Moniach, with the help of which they could communicate with the Moniach, and the Moniach could also use it to monitor their life signals.

The spotlight on the suit can't penetrate much distance in deep water, only a band of blue-gray light. Jiu De Aki's slender figure floated beside him, and Ye Sheng could pull her as long as he stretched out his hand.

They are the team responsible for scouting information, and in addition to the signal line that links the Moniach, they have a separate signal line to each other as a connection to facilitate communication.

But the two of them don't seem to need this signal wire, they don't need any verbal communication at all, just give each other a look, and they can immediately understand each other's meaning.

Several times they just looked at each other, and the speed of the dive would change in unison and keep in sync.

Lu Mingfei swam behind these two people, and suddenly felt a bit like a light bulb.

"Senior Brother Lu, is it your first time diving?" Ye Sheng asked.

"Hmm...... Sort of, when I was a child, my family lived on the outskirts of the city, and I always felt the mussel shells in the nearby pond, and I could swim a hundred meters in the water with a breath, and now it should be even farther," Lu Mingfei said casually, "But it's the first time I've dived so deep with my equipment." ”

Lu Mingfei told a little lie, he really didn't dive in this world, but in Tony's world, he dived a few times when he was taken out by Tony, and he took a photo with a coral group.

"Don't worry, in terms of the physical fitness of a half-breed, fifty-meter diving is actually no different from ordinary swimming," Aki reassured, "You can just relax." ”

"I'm quite relaxed," Lu Mingfei said, "but you two look a little nervous." ”

Ye Sheng and Jiu De Aki were silent for a moment.

It's strange to suddenly learn that the miniature sonar detection device you are wearing is from the equipment department, isn't it nervous?

While chatting and relieving the pressure in the deep water, the three of them gradually reached the bottom of the water.

The storm was filtered by a 50-metre layer of water, leaving only gentle waves, and it was submerged by the impoundment of the Three Gorges Reservoir.

Ye Sheng popped out the steel claws from his flippers, stood lightly on the rock, and reached out to grope in the bottom mud and sand.

A moment later, Ye Sheng fished out something and held it up for display—a pottery shard with an ancient pattern.

Aki took the pottery shard and examined it: "There is at least a thousand or more history, and the style is something before the Shu culture was integrated by the Central Plains culture, and it may be a relic of the White Emperor City." ”

White Emperor City is the code name for this ruin that will be explored.

"According to the information, the White Emperor City was buried at the bottom of the river, and a crack in the bottom of the river was created in a small earthquake before it came into contact with the outside world," Lu Mingfei said, "If we want to find it, we have to find the crack first." ”

"Norma, I need to scan the terrain with sonar." Aki Aki of Sake called.

"Understood, sonar scan ready." The CPU in the United States immediately responded.

A three-dimensional sonar map outlined by dark green contour lines is displayed on the screen of the trio's helmet, and sound waves are far more useful in the water than light.

"Although we can't see it," Ye Sheng stretched out his hand and pointed remotely, "but the northeast and southeast are both mountains, the one that emerges from the water is Baidi Mountain, and the one under the water is Chijia Mountain, forming a 'gate' structure, and on the opposite side is the original Caotang River, passing through a valley. From the perspective of Chinese Feng Shui, this is the place where the mountain dragon and the water dragon meet, gathering the energy of yin and yang, and it is a good place to build a city, and the ruins of the White Emperor City may be here. ”

"Senior Brother Ye Sheng still understands feng shui?" Lu Ming was not curious.

"The elders in my family understand, and I learned a little bit from it." Ye Sheng said, he didn't seem to have the intention of going deep into this topic, so he only stopped after saying one sentence.

"Even if there is an entrance, it has been covered by floating earth for a thousand years," Aki chuckled, "So, save time, I'd better trouble you, please." ”

"I'm so tired that I collapse every time." Ye Sheng complained, "I need a fixed point." ”

"Am I not the point you've always been?" Aki swam behind him, steel claws popping out of his flippers, clutching at the rocks tightly, and wrapping his hands around Ye Sheng's waist from back to front.

"Hey, hey! Someone shows affection in front of a single dog, and someone cares about no one?! Lu Mingfei complained on the side.

Of course, he knew that Ye Sheng and Jiu De Aki were not real lovers, but Ye Sheng's words and spirits were "snakes", and once they were released with all their strength, they would have the side effects of being weak, so they needed Jiu De Aki to catch him.

Lu Mingfei vaguely seemed to feel something burst out from Ye Sheng's body, and through the diving mask, he could see Ye Sheng's face quickly turn gray, looking like he would drive Hexi to die honorably at any time.

Ye Sheng, who was releasing the "snake", couldn't help but glance at Lu Mingfei - the snake he released would subconsciously avoid him when it passed near Lu Mingfei, as if he was afraid of something.

After a while, Ye Sheng withdrew the "snake", and his face quickly recovered: "I found it, it was about one hundred and twenty meters away in the direction of three o'clock." ”

"Let's go and find out what's going on there," Professor Mance's voice rang out from the public channel, "but only if you're safe." ”

"Yes." ×3

Under the leadership of Ye Sheng, Lu Mingfei and the three of them found a huge crack, which lay at the bottom of the river, as if it wanted to cut off the entire riverbed.

The three of them swam down the crack, and the darkness in front of them gradually turned dark green.

Lu Mingfei was the first to react—the endless dark green came from a huge bronze wall.

Directly in front of them, there stood a huge bronze wall, stretching up and down, left and right, seemingly borderless, infinitely large.

"That!" Aki pointed to the corner of the bronze wall, where there was a mottled mark, "The mark on the wall is exactly the same as the one on the pottery shard just found, only much larger. ”

Jiu De Yaji showed the pottery shard to Lu Mingfei, and sure enough, the pottery shard and the imprint on the wall were both a face burning in flames, but the imprint on the wall was many times larger.

At the same time, she and Ye Sheng held the filming equipment, approached the Bronze City, and filmed it as much as possible and sent it to the ship.

"Looks like we've found our target," Lu Mingfei said, "this is indeed a bronze city, and even the walls are bronze. ”

"That's an exaggeration, isn't it?" Ye Sheng was speechless, "If this wall is special steel, it is estimated that it is enough to supply the steel consumption of aircraft carriers all over the world." ”

"Far more than that," Lu Mingfei said, "this is a city built by dragons, and in order to resist the invasion of dragons, its walls must be as thick as possible, and the amount of bronze is probably more than we seem." ”

"What dragon could build such a city? Even the largest ruins ever discovered by the Secret Party were nothing more than children's sand castles compared to it. Aki said with emotion.

"Norton, the dragon king, the king of bronze and fire among the four monarchs, is also the king of alchemy, and it is said that he holds the true meaning of alchemy," Professor Mance hissed, "Professor von Schneider has a guess that Norton, the dragon king, has hollowed out the entire mountain as a mold, poured copper paste from the top of the mountain, and at the same time as the bronze city was formed, the high heat caused the mountain rock to crack, thus casting a behemoth that is not technically possible, a city made entirely of bronze, his habitat. ”

Underwater, Lu Mingfei tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Although he originally came to explore this place for the knowledge of alchemy, it was still a bit outrageous to dig directly into the tomb of the alchemy king as soon as he dug up.

"The snake is afraid of that city, it doesn't dare to approach," Ye Sheng said, "There must be something in there." ”

"Maybe it's the Lord of Bronze and Fire? After all, this could be his hometown. Lu Mingfei joked.

But no one responded to his jokes, and the entire chat channel fell into an eerie silence.

After a long time, Professor Mance spoke: "Lu Mingfei is right, there is likely to be a dragon king inside. ”

"Professor, can we apply for an evacuation?" Lu Mingfei said decisively.
