The Nautilus moved quickly while Jiang Shouyun was pinning down the Overlord Squid, and finally crossed a coral forest and unfolded like a picture of the ancient city below.

A scene full of quaint and eerie beauty gradually emerged at the end of the three's field of vision.

They finally knew what was going on.

The largest glacial split event in the Arctic in the past 50 years has created a giant iceberg with an area of about 260 km.

It was a huge iceberg that was almost transparent, and the entire city seemed to be frozen in the iceberg, so that it would be immortalized in the sea for thousands of years.

Only the bronze tower, which had been corroded and slightly dilapidated, seemed to be gradually revealed by the melting of the iceberg.

The Nautilus cruises above this submarine iceberg as if it were looking at a slightly blurred picture of its aesthetics frozen in complete ice.

Even if you can't see the whole picture, you can see its majesty.

"That's ...... A city under the sea? Fingal muttered dumbfounded, "Atlantis? Atlantis frozen in an iceberg? ”

Caesar recalled all the relics of civilization in the world, but he never imagined that there was such a magnificent architectural style, and he was almost overwhelmed by the ancient mystery and majesty.

The Nautilus passed by the side of the tower, and they had opened all the viewing windows, so the view was almost 360 degrees.

You can clearly see the "picture scroll" of the glacier and the intricate relief patterns on the tower.

Chu Zihang sketched on paper, drawing the face of the city, copying the reliefs and the words.

The hieroglyphs, the words and reliefs are joined together, as if composed of serpentine curves, like a monstrous beast, winding the columnar tower.

"Is that some kind of dog crawling word?" Fingal breaks the dead silence.

"Let's respect it." Chu Zihang replied, "The dragon climbed." ”

He had already copied the general shape of the tower, and he had some guesses about the role of the tower.

Dragons are accustomed to recording wars on pillar-like things, standing in the open air, recording glory when they are victorious, and hatred when they are defeated.

Also, another purpose of the tower is to execute.

Dragons are accustomed to nailing sinners to towers to dry, and it takes hundreds of years to dry a dragon, and for hundreds of years the sinful dragon is endlessly humiliated by all the clansmen.

Chu Zihang seemed to hear a hoarse moan, like a bloody ghost in hell.

Presumably, this giant tower must be stained with dragon blood and humiliation.

"Don't complain at this time." Caesar's tone was a little helpless, and he opened his mouth through the channel, "Professor Schneider, did you see that?" ”

"See, a giant tower engraved with dragon script, and an ancient city frozen in ice, Norma is preserving and analyzing the videos and pictures you sent back."

Schneider's tone was indifferent, but he could hear the solemnity in it: "What you have to do now is to take pictures of this monument from different directions, this is the first time we have seen the ancient city of the Dragon Clan so intuitively." ”

"However, judging by the oxygen stock, you will still be able to move underwater for 30 minutes, and the most important task is to find the entrance to the ancient city, to determine if there is a dragon, and its state at this time."

Caesar cruised around the Nautilus, trying to capture the full picture of the ancient city.

However, when he glanced at the image of the sonar system, his originally wandering gaze suddenly stopped.

He rubbed his eyes and then smiled bitterly: "There is good news, bad news. ”

"Say." Schneider said.

"The good news is that it should still be sleeping, and the bad news is ......" Caesar looked at the signal from the sonar and said softly, "This big guy may be bigger than we thought." ”

Seawater is undoubtedly an excellent medium for sound, and sound waves are a powerful tool for exploration in water.

However, there is a lot of clutter in the sound signals transmitted by the sonar from the iceberg, as if the ancient city frozen in it is beating its heart regularly.

Yes, the whole iceberg is shaking slightly.

If you listen closely, you can hear a dull voice.

Knock knock, knock knock, knock knock......

Its rhythm is so strong and distinct, like an ancient barbarian tattooed on the battlefield beating the drum of war, Caesar can't help but be attracted to it.

"Heartbeat." Chu Zihang said softly, "This is the heartbeat of an ancient dragon. ”

He was familiar with the rhythm of a heartbeat, but he had never heard such a strong heartbeat.

It is apparently some kind of large creature that has this heartbeat.

Although it is impossible to judge its size, what kind of heartbeat can cause such a huge iceberg to resonate?

Caesar felt his liver tremble just thinking about it.

The hundred-meter-long overlord squid, in front of it, can be regarded as a gatekeeper at most.

At this time, in the central control room, the image is presented on a large screen.

"......" looked at the magnificent frozen ancient city, and Schneider also fell into a short silence.

He was one of the few people in the academy who had the most contact with dragon antiquities, but he still felt shocked in front of such a strange scene.

The entire submarine can only see one side of the iceberg, so only one side of the ancient city can be seen.

But......

The relics of the dragon civilization are so well preserved.

The commissioners behind Schneider looked a little excited and nervous, excited, frightened, excited, and incredible.

This is a huge breakthrough from zero to one for the entire mixed-race race.

If they did get into that frozen ancient city, it would be no less than the small step Neil Alden Armstrong took on the moon aboard the Apollo-11 spacecraft.

Click!

Schneider lit a cigar and took a deep breath in his mouth, the intense pungency and nicotine squeezing the remaining vitality of his lungs, but only this excesses could keep him calm.

As a commander, he had to stay calm.

Schneider connected to another encrypted channel, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "We found an ancient dragon city frozen in ice under two thousand five hundred meters of the Greenland Sea, as well as ...... Sleeping Elder Dragon. ”

There was silence on the other end of the line.

But Schneider heard a slight sound of bones.

He could even imagine the old man clenching his hand with the folding knife, and the back of his hand was covered with green tendons, like a samurai hearing the horn of war.

"Can you determine the level of the target?" Ange's gentle voice came, "First or secondary?" Or is it a little thing four or five generations later? ”

"The only thing that is certain is that it is not an adult dragon, but an embryo of a dragon." Schneider glanced at Norma's analysis and said bluntly, "The threat level can only be confirmed after successful hatching." ”

"Can you predict how long it will take to hatch?" Ange asked.

"Two years...... No, for a year, at least for a year, it's safe. Schneider paused for a moment and said conservatively, "Its heartbeat is slowly getting stronger, the degree of hatching is getting higher and higher, and it is only a matter of time before it breaks out of its shell." ”

"In other words, it's an unknown, it is possible to develop into a convex girl, or it is possible to become a high-risk target at the level of an ancient dragon."

Ange's slightly thoughtful voice came, as calm as ever: "The most fortunate thing is that it won't break through the ice in the next second. ”

"Yes." Schneider paused, "However, we can't find the 'door', and the oxygen level doesn't support them to continue their mission." ”

"Oh, that's bad news."

The other end of the phone pondered for a moment and said, "Although the opportunity is rare, since the city has been located, there is still a chance to prepare to dive completely to solve the problem of the embryo in the future." ”

"Then let's say hi first...... Ha, it's rare for something from the Equipment Department to come in handy. ”

Soon, Caesar received Schneider's order, and the Nautilus, which was slowly moving forward, approached the side of the iceberg.

I don't know if it's an illusion, the moment the submarine passed, something hit the shell of the Nautilus with a dull sound.

No, it's not.

Buzz!!

The huge body covered in black and blue scales slammed past the side of the submarine.

It was the overlord squid, which stretched its body in the sea, its pretentious tentacles soaring upward, and its monstrous mouth opened.

Invisible sound waves came out of his mouth, causing a slight ripple in the sea.

Boom!!

In the next second, Jiang Shouyun's body surface was floating with blue-black electric light, and his red golden eyes flashed with faint blue electric light.

The muscles of his body under a wetsuit swelled slightly, and the knotted muscles were exposed to the cold water, and the thick layer of water condensed under his feet shattered.

The moment the figure disappeared in place, a piercing explosion sounded in the water, and the raging howl was like a rushing beast.

The jet-black blade was carried on his back, and with Jiang Shouyun's body as the fulcrum, the power rose from under his feet, through his waist, and poured into his strong arms like a tide, pouring into the fierce soldier with black light.

The pitch-black blade seemed to be beginning to extend, it was an invisible dark blue electric light, and the sharpness of the blade revealed the brilliance of choosing people to devour.

In the midst of the flying droplets, the knife slashed down, and slashed at the heart of the squid with a full moon of lightning in the sea.

Jiang Shouyun, who staggered past a few tentacles, did not stop, and quickly turned around and stepped on the tentacles of the squid, and the round dancing sword light rose and fell.

The black blade cut through the blue-black scales, and the light that burst out was like iron trees and silver flowers, and no blood flowed out, because the person who cut this knife was extremely fast, like an illusory streamer, and even life and death were half a minute slower at this moment!

In the next moment, Jiang Shouyun and the squid staggered, the illusory figure condensed, and the tooth-sore cutting sounded through the sea.

Red blood rushed into the sky, like a blood-colored wave, and the huge body still maintained the posture of rushing forward with tentacles.

The one in the center of the three hearts, from the midline, was neatly broken in half, escaping into the water with a rising mist of blood.

"Whew!" Jiang Shouyun exhaled a mouthful of scorching miscellaneous gas, turned around to look at the overlord squid and said indifferently, "One." ”

On the other side, the three Fingal also happened to see this scene.

"How do you feel like he's getting fiercer?" Fingal scratched his head.

This guy can always refresh other people's estimates of his combat power.

At the same time, the squid was rolling wildly in pain and rage, and this time there was no rush to attack, and the only five tentacles arched and looked down at the guy who had cut off two of his own hearts after only a few fights.

As a creature with intelligence, it knows that the other party's state cannot last, and every second of time passes in its favor.

However, Jiang Shouyun had no interest in continuing to consume it.

The long knife was sideways, and in the next moment, the black arc shadow cut across the sea, accompanied by the sky-high water foam, covering Jiang Shouyun's figure.

The squid reacted almost instantaneously, its sturdy tentacles quickly turning, and the huge tentacles slammed into the ground like a piece of floor, trying to interfere with the human's advance.

As the tentacles flipped and twisted and were about to take a shot, Jiang Shouyun's feet stepped on it, and the faint streamer rushed towards the middle of its body.

The muscles of his arms swelled to the extreme, the knife was horizontal at his side, and he waved the long knife with an indomitable momentum, and the black crescent moon in front of him represented the peak of strength and skill.

The huge golden pupil revealed a hint of human panic, and it suddenly opened its huge mouth, and a dark yellow and fishy venom spewed out.

It's true that it can't keep up with the speed of its tentacles, but its corrosive venom can keep up!

But it apparently forgets a fact.

Looking at the corrosive venom that was gradually approaching him, as if it was about to drown him, Jiang Shouyun's face was still unwavering.

"A beast is a beast after all." Jiang Shouyun met the huge golden pupil with an expressionless face, "It seems that the pain given to you by those few knives is not enough. ”

The super nerve reflex speed made the world in his eyes slow when he was fighting, let alone in the deep sea that slowed down several times like this.

Just as the nearest venom was only a meter in front of his face, his feet stomped down suddenly, his body rising rapidly to dodge the venom by a fraction of a second, and the squid's turning-tentacles staggered past him as it sprinted.

Jiang Shouyun stretched his body in the sea, dark blue electric light wrapped around his body, and the thunder light surrounding him became even more intense, turning into a huge thunder blade and slashing down!

Even the squid, a monster with extremely weak eyesight, seemed to be shocked by the light, and its long mouth let out a silent roar but involuntarily retracted.

The knife almost ignored its hard scales and tough flesh, cutting a huge cut under its neck, and thick blood cascading like a cascade of acidic venom.

Jiang Shouyun's eyes narrowed involuntarily.

The knife had almost cut off the squid's body.

But he still dodged as fast as he could, but he didn't pull out the knife inside the squid.

The acid was still sticking to his clothes, and it was quickly corroded by the acid to the naked eye.

"Caesar!" His pupils were as bright as burning, and he said, "Don't tell me, you won't shoot." ”

Boom!!

The golden spirit arrow crossed Jiang Shouyun's shoulder, instantly piercing through the squid's broken body, accurately hitting its exposed heart.

The heart exploded directly, and a powerful fountain of blood erupted from the fracture, and the tentacles writhed wildly, and finally gradually became weak.

In the distance, Caesar put down the white longbow in his hand, and the pain in his fingers made him can't help but shake his hand, but after Jiang Shouyun looked over, he paused as if nothing happened.

"I don't want to be dragged by you to the shooting range to practice archery when I go back." Caesar's tone was like that of a somewhat awkward child waiting for praise from his parents.
