Dragon Clan: Thought So Far

Chapter 391 379. Looking up at you, how dare you overstep your bounds!

Several large red cranes stood under the rain, like the skeletons of dead giants.

They were originally quiet and majestic, with hundreds of dark-gold ravens clinging to them, their wings folded behind them, their eyes looking down at the hellish red well.

But a few seconds after Lu Mingfei drew his sword and gave the order, these skeletons roared to life.

They were all large machines like a forest of steel, with red coating peeling off and rusty. They were probably abandoned because the engineering team that was originally working in the mountains could not transport them away when they evacuated, but the members of the executive department of the college gave these heavy equipment that were originally abandoned all the time new life when they formulated the dragon-slaying plan.

The snow had long been washed away and melted in the rainstorm. Ravens were startled by the movement of the machinery, and hoarse howls came out of their beaks. Mixed in the noisy rain, it reminded people of bad memories, as if the horror movie that I watched with my brother for the first time when I was a child really appeared in reality.

At the end of the iron rope of the suspension tower, an incredible giant metal mercury tank has long been fixed. One end of the mercury tank is connected to a long tube like an elephant's trunk, and the other end of the long tube is designed to be a dozen air pressure valves that can spray liquid.

The heavy crane that stands tall and straight hangs the mercury tank weighing dozens of tons. Lightning tears the sky in the rumbling vibration, and the broken clouds seem to stand with a magnificent knight.

The price of mercury in the international market continues to rise, especially in the past three months. The hybrids all over the world have been hoarding mercury, the only natural enemy of dragons in nature, like crazy. At 12 o'clock last night, the price of mercury in the exchange had soared to 33,100 US dollars per ton.

In order to be able to fill the entire Red Well with mercury when necessary and not arouse suspicion from the Snakesaki family due to abnormal mercury dispatch, the academy spent twice as much to buy a full 1,000 tons of metallic mercury from the black market, and bribed officials in Yamanashi Prefecture and Kanagawa, using the government's transport fleet to transport these mercury tanks to the mountains near the Tama River in advance.

The entire process cost the school board more than 100 million US dollars, not to mention a series of weapons and equipment, the internal relations between the Self-Defense Forces and the US military stationed in Japan, the mission funds of hundreds of executive department commissioners, and the sky-high pensions that can almost be foreseen after the mission is completed.

Lu Mingfei sighed that it was no wonder that slaying dragons has always been the business of the nobles since ancient times, and it is rare to see dragon-slaying heroes from humble backgrounds.

This 100 million US dollars of mercury can make it difficult for the ambitious but poor mud legs. If Lu Mingfei were to slay the dragon alone, he would probably have to jump into the Red Well with the seven deadly sins and fight to the death with the gods.

Thunderous explosions echoed around Lu Mingfei. In the frenzy of rain, his figure on the beam was as inconspicuous as an ant climbing on the gate of hell.

But it was this inconspicuous shadow that suppressed the ancient dragon named Sushiriki, who was so afraid that he dared not move forward.

It was clear that Lu Mingfei was just pressing the knife box casually, and his whole body was full of flaws, but the dragon felt that he would be killed as long as he made a move, so he could only hover in the underground river water that was surging like a red tide. The mountain-like snake body occasionally broke through the water surface, and the heavy roar of the scales opening and closing echoed between the walls of the well.

The crane suspended five mercury tanks weighing dozens of tons and stopped above the red well. The valves at the end of the long pipe opened, and dozens of silver-white liquids spurted out from dozens of outlets and fell into the depths of the well, as if spraying pearls and splashing jade, or as if a group of dragons spitting water.

Suserihime raised her head coldly, and the loud noises of scales snapping together came one after another. The pair of golden pupils burning like giant candles suddenly became dim. A thin layer of nictitating membrane had covered the pair of huge eyeballs at some point. The iron-blue blood vessels on the surface of the translucent skin folds crisscrossed, as if someone had left a stunning painting in the eyes of this ancient god.

Then the silver liquid hit the wall of the well and broke into countless silver beads. The heavy silver steam rose from the bottom of the well like water and flowed above the red well, making Lu Mingfei look like he was stepping on the clouds.

At the same time, Lu Mingfei had already held his breath. The highly toxic mercury vapor was a threat even to a monster like him whose bloodline was close to that of a pure-blooded dragon. The specialists gathered on the high ground around him had already put on gas masks, and every gun muzzle in the rainstorm pointed ferociously in the direction of the red well.

If someone had the intention to kill Lu Mingfei on the beam at this time, he probably wouldn't be able to avoid the fatal bullet.

The mercury in the mercury tanks was emptied one after another, and the liquid metal hit the metal guard plate of the well wall with a thunderous sound. The thousands of tons of mercury purchased by the college from the black market these days were all poured into the red well where the underground river was surging back.

White mist and silver droplets were suspended around Lu Mingfei, and the mixture of mercury and groundwater rich in nitrogen and phosphorus compounds seemed to be boiling. Incredible roars began to echo in the well wall, and extreme anger and extreme hatred were contained in this roar.

Tens of thousands of strange creatures were struggling in the red waves mixed with mottled silver. The water surface covering more than one square kilometer was like a miniature of hell in Lu Mingfei's eyes. More subspecies that looked like snakes, fish, and dragons emerged from the deeper water, fiercely stretched out their hideous heads from the white waves, roared at the sky, and swung their long tails vigorously to jump onto the beam and tear the only living thing they could see into pieces.

But even now, with heavy rain, Suserihime, as the vanguard of the king, drilled through the 300-meter stratum and led the Red River of the Akagyou River into the Red Well. The water surface was still 20 to 30 meters above the wellhead.

This height, except for giant species like Suserihime, whose long neck is tens of meters, is not surpassed by any dragon blood subspecies native to the Akagyou River.

Even dragons must follow the natural law of survival of the fittest in such a narrow living environment. It is meaningless to grow wings in the Akagyou River 300 meters underground. Instead, flippers and long tails are more advantageous.

The black helicopter hovered at a low altitude of dozens of meters above the ground. The bright xenon lamp rotated to cut through the darkness and the rain curtain in the darkness. The raindrops in the light column seemed to be lit up.

There was silence in the public channel. The short-distance radio communication had not been paralyzed, but the pilots and the machine gunners on the helicopter were shocked by the scene before them.

The terrifying creatures struggled in the water at the bottom of the well, tangling with each other. Unlike the giant dragon, they did not evolve scales and mucous membranes that could resist mercury. Mercury spots spread rapidly on the crowded scales and white bellies. The intense pain made the monsters with dragon blood in their bodies bite each other, and the bloody smell permeated, which even the rainstorm could not wash away.

But Suserihime still occupied the center of the lake-like surface of the Red Well. Its scales were locked together, and the gaps were filled with mucous membranes that could resist mercury erosion. The pale nictitating membrane in the pair of golden eyes was like a layer of transparent scale armor.

The majesty of the dragon prince radiated silently from the body of this huge creature. Even at this point, those struggling dragon subspecies still did not have the courage to usurp the throne.

Mercury is deadly poisonous even to the first generation, but there is a crucial premise for all this - the premise is that the first generation is in an extremely weak state.

Humans have been using mercury to fight dragons since 4,600 years ago, but until today, there are still few precedents of defeating a prince-level dragon with mercury alone.

2,100 years ago, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, used mountains, rivers and thousands of tons of mercury to erect an ancient and rare alchemical matrix on the land of the East, and used this matrix to completely end the ambition of the wind king, Vidfornil, to almost dominate the world.

1,600 years ago, the mountain king Fenrir, incarnated as Attila and swept across Europe, and finally failed in Italy. He was severely damaged by the mercury matrix and eventually laid the seeds for his assassination.

The dragon-slaying family in the East and the secret party in the West paid a painful price in thousands of years of history, using the power of mercury to severely damage or kill more than one king.

But if you want to kill a prince or even an emperor just by relying on a huge amount of mercury, this is unique in the history of hybrids and even in the civilization of the dragon race.

Dragons are creatures that exist in mythology, and have transcended the scope of what humans can imagine with natural rules. A year ago, a dragon servant named Samson in Kuimen, Sanxia, ​​was able to swallow a powerful underwater bomb and was safe and sound. Suseriki bit the bronze coffin and took nearly a ton of mercury into her stomach without being hurt, but excreted it on her own. It is enough to prove that the secret party has been fighting against some underdeveloped little guys for so many years.

When the real dragon comes, despair and death come together.

Lu Mingfei and the dragon stared at each other silently. All the noise around them seemed to have nothing to do with them, the rainstorm and thunder, the howling mountain wind, the mercury that crashed into the red well, and the roar that seemed to come from hell.

Lu Mingfei was looking for Suseriki's flaws.

The little devil's words were very clear. The Yamata no Orochi parasitized by the holy bones was behind this giant dragon. Suserihime was not the last dragon that Lu Mingfei wanted to kill. The real terrible enemy had not yet appeared.

He had to use the least power to achieve the greatest results. It was obviously the most unwise choice to engage in close combat with a first-generation species that had been gathering strength for thousands of years.

Suserihime was also looking for Lu Mingfei's flaws. Her sense of smell and perception were so sensitive that she could even smell the blood source deep in a person's blood vessels.

But Lu Mingfei couldn't see through it. She could only smell the fear that made her uneasy and the majesty like a mountain.

And that box.

It was as if the king's soul and resentment were imprisoned, and the murderous intent was so surging that it almost broke through the clouds like a tide.

At this time, a long roar came from the bottom of the red well, deep and distant, like an echo from the depths of hell.

Lu Mingfei sighed deeply, and put his hands into his hair, pulling all the hair wet by the rain back, revealing his forehead and pupils filled with the red-gold tide.

Everyone heard the roar, as if it did not come from the mouth of a certain creature, but was squeezed out from the vocal cords of several monsters at the same time, superimposed together, and echoed among the mountains.

The dragon suddenly disappeared from the water surface that was stirring the silver liquid beads. Suserihime suddenly sank into the water, and a huge vortex appeared in the center of the red well, with a terrifying suction force, pulling the subspecies that rushed to the surface and were biting each other back into the underground Red Devil River.

Lu Mingfei knew that the roar just now was the well-deserved king of the Red Devil River, Yamata no Orochi, urging his offspring.

Suserihime had to launch an attack.

A dark blue spine floated to the surface of the water. Each segment of the spine was as rugged as a reef, and the high bulges reminded people of the diversionary mountains.

The dozens-meter-long snake tail swung at high speed, and the water waves were raised to more than ten meters high. The cold water mist mixed with mercury steam was hit on Lu Mingfei's feet.

The white waves reflected the bright xenon lamp, and Lu Mingfei's vision was affected for a while. This effect only lasted for one second, but one second later, Lu Mingfei's pupils had reflected something terrifying!

It was a huge mouth opened to 180 degrees!

Suserihime launched a fatal surprise attack in an instant. It neither recited the word spirit nor attacked head-on like the violent Samson. Instead, it insidiously seized the moment when Lu Mingfei was distracted and crushed him with its teeth!

The teeth of the second generation can even be used in alchemy to make a sacred object that has been passed down for thousands of years. It is something tougher than alloy. If bitten, even Finger, who opened the bronze throne, will be cut in half!

The huge mouth smashed the waves and steam, and the rain curtain was full of fishy smell. Lu Mingfei's sight was occupied by two dry and pale scimitar-like sharp teeth. The length of the sharp teeth was even more than three meters, which reminded Lu Mingfei of the largest dragon Fenrir he had ever seen.

From the perspective of size, Suseriki was not much inferior to Fenrir, but it was only a second-generation species. It was brutal and powerful but did not even have the qualifications to stand in front of the king.

The rows of teeth as dense as thorns also protruded from the mouth one by one. The dense scales on the snake head flashed with a faint light, and the six twisted horns were like blades, opening the whistling wind. Everything happened in an instant, but the commissioners only took 0.1 seconds to hesitate, and then the dense bullets fell on the scales of the dragon's head, splashing sparks like a sea of ​​stars.

The beam was bitten off in the middle by the dragon's ferocious mouth, and it fell straight down. A few seconds later, a column of water rose from the red well and splashed outside the wellhead.

The gunshots stopped immediately because everyone saw the man who was being illuminated by all the lights.

He was not killed by the dragon. On the contrary, when Suserihime launched a fatal attack, Lu Mingfei dodged between the two sharp teeth that could bite through an African elephant with a body movement comparable to the Great Shift of the Universe, then jumped up and landed steadily on the metal shell of the descending elevator.

At this time, the man was slowly looking up and exhaling a long breath.

His face was ignited by the golden-red light in the rain curtain, and then the man lowered his head, looked around, and looked down at the red well, with a golden-red river of fire flowing in his pupils.

A huge drum sound suddenly surpassed and suppressed all the sounds. Everyone looked in the direction of the drum sound and realized that it was actually Lu Mingfei's heartbeat.

A heat wave came out of the man's body, and all the falling rain was evaporated into steam. The thunderous crisp sound in the hazy white steam crackled across the mountains.

Dragon bone state, activated.

Blood burst.

Blood burst.

Blood burst...

Third degree, activated!

An arm with scaly claws suddenly emerged from the steam. Everyone who saw this scene felt their hearts stop beating. The huge fear almost made them kneel down. The majesty of the child at this moment almost bent their spines.

Then a monster with scaly armor came out from it!

All of Lu Mingfei's clothes were burned in an instant, and his naked body, which could hardly be seen as a human, was covered with the same iron-blue black scales.

He was so hideous and so beautiful, his facial bones were as hard as a mask that could not be taken off, and the scales on his body opened and snapped together. When they closed, a huge amount of blood-colored steam was released from the bottom of the scales.

The specialists realized that this was the "forbidden technology" mentioned in the information that could be used by S-level. They all looked at the high-ranking man with trembling and awe, only to see him slowly stretch out his right hand.

In that hand was a bullet with a cold blue light and ancient patterns carved on the bullet head. The primer of each bullet was painted red, which was a unique sign of high-risk weapons.

Even with the help of high-speed cameras, the specialists only saw that Lu Mingfei casually waved his hand and the bullets were fired downward with terrifying kinetic energy at an initial velocity of more than six times the speed of sound. Dozens of straight cold blue rays shot into the water, and after a moment of silence, huge waves were stirred up.

But if it was Angers who had activated time zero, he would see that Lu Mingfei placed the bullets in the air in front of him in a very short time, and then punched the primers of these bullets one by one.

The primers of the bullets then sank, and more than a dozen powerful alchemical bullets were fired almost at the same time. The cold blue light lingered in the rain curtain, solemn and beautiful.

Fierce and quiet.

A few seconds later, a ferocious scream sounded from the red well, and then a long neck like a copper pillar reaching the sky suddenly stretched out. The top of the copper pillar was a golden giant pupil like the sun and the moon shining together, swaying in the storm and overlooking the tiny figure.
