If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

On the Beichuan, Manstein, who had been pacing in the captain's room for a long time, finally lost his composure, grabbed the communicator and issued the order vigorously.

"Group B of the diving team is preparing to dive. Ye Sheng and Yaji bring communication lines. No one knows what happened underwater now. Try to maintain communication after entering the water."

"Yes." Jiude Aki saluted behind Manstein, took a slight breath to adjust his condition before diving, turned around and walked outside the cabin to join Ye Sheng.

"Do we have a second alchemy bomb to attract the Dragon King to leave the nest?" Caesar looked out the window at the stagnant rain and calm waves of the Yangtze River. He seemed not to believe that the diving Group A would fail in the first step of the mission. .

"No, but it can be replaced by a C4 bomb. As long as the yield is enough, it can always open a hole in the Dragon King's hometown." Manstein's face was so tense that he even twitched when he spoke. It could be seen that the old man's blood pressure had risen to a dangerous level. to the point.

"The situation outside can only be caused by a large-scale word spirit or alchemy affecting the natural environment. It is almost certain that Group A met the Dragon King head-on underwater, but with the comprehensive strength of Group A, it may not necessarily be the end of the entire army being annihilated. Now Sending Group B to dive for blasting is tantamount to confirming that Group A is dead. Isn't it a little too aggressive?" Caesar pondered for half a minute and raised an objection.

"The unknown is the biggest worry right now," Manstein whispered.

"The biggest problem now is that it is too quiet. It is so quiet that people cannot believe that this is the time of the decisive battle." said the first mate.

"'Snake' can't penetrate water. Is it because of the Dragon King?" Caesar looked at Ye Sheng and Ya Ji who were already preparing to warm up on the screen deck.

"It's different from last time. According to our experience last time, we couldn't even chant the Word Spirit against Dragon King-level enemies. This time, the feedback given by the 'Snake' felt very strange. After penetrating a certain distance of water, we suddenly entered a In a 'cavity' environment, there is no room for 'snake' to live in that 'cavity', so the spirit of speech will naturally be disintegrated." Manstein said in a deep voice. Like Ye Sheng, he had countless waiting moments. Attempts to use 'snakes' to establish contact with Group A under the body of water failed.

"The living space of the 'snake'? I remember that the essence of the 'snake' is biological current, which can be transmitted even in a vacuum. What environment will cause the 'snake' to disintegrate?" Caesar frowned in confusion.

"I don't know." Manstein shook his head slowly, with a heavy tone. "The feeling when the 'Snake' disintegrates is always a feeling that the spirit of words itself has been rejected. The deeper you go, the stronger this feeling becomes. Yours If Yan Ling is a 'Kamaitachi', can he try to enter a body of water?"

"You can give it a try, but the interference to the Kamaita's underwater operations is too much. I will try my best to do my best." Caesar pinched the bridge of his nose, and when he opened his eyes again, the golden pupils had already occupied his eye sockets, and the wind The demons jumped out from the Beichuan and submerged into the water body silently.

In the captain's room, Manstein stared at Caesar. Tens of seconds later, Caesar suddenly looked up and his eyes were strange.

"How is it?" Manstein asked immediately.

"My 'Kamaita' didn't come back. This is the first time I've encountered such a situation." Caesar looked at the blood-red river outside the observation window and whispered.

"Was it crushed by water pressure? The water pressure in the place where Bronze City is located is not low. I remember that the 'Ghost Car Bird' is not a fighting creature." asked the first mate. According to the conversation between Manstein and Caesar, he They also probably know what the true form of the word spirit 'Kamaitachi' is on their side.

"Although the Windless Demons are fragile, they are not to the extent that they will be crushed by hundreds of meters of water pressure, and the order I gave them is to return directly to their nests if they encounter danger." Caesar frowned, "But now one' Kamaita' hasn't come back yet, which is really rare."

"I encountered the same situation as my 'snake'. Does this mean that there is a potentially fatal area under the water body?" Manstein's face changed as if he suddenly thought of something, and he stared at Ye Sheng on the screen. He Aki was a little hesitant to temporarily suspend Group B's dive plan.

"Maybe it's the phenomenon caused by the 'Qingwu Technique'?" the first mate said hesitantly, "Norton is said to be a Qingwu Master who understood Feng Shui to the extreme. Could it be that he created an environment where Power Word Technique cannot be used?"

"But why did he do this? For the Dragon King, the word spirit is their strongest means of crushing hybrids. Whether it is the 'Candle Dragon' or the 'Sky Fire', they use one killing move to defeat ten thousand, creating a person who cannot use words. The spirit's environment simply limits itself." Manstein was a little puzzled.

"So now Lin Nian might be fighting with the Dragon King without being able to use his speech spirit?" Caesar frowned deeper, but he couldn't tell whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for a while. According to the performance of the Battle of Constantine, if Both sides do not use word spirits, and they can advance to the extreme of the third degree of violent blood. Lin Nian, who even briefly crossed the threshold of the fourth degree of violent blood, really has a chance to fight with the Dragon King. Does the Dragon King want to fight Lin Nian with a bayonet?

But does this seem like the Dragon King is too desperate? After all, the most feared thing about Norton is the power of the flames. Once he loses that tricky layer of high-temperature armor, it's hard to say who will win in a hand-to-hand battle with swords and blood. Moreover, in history, the King of Bronze and Fire has never been the Dragon King who gained a reputation for close combat. Every legend and history related to him is a magnificent scene of flames burning the city and heavenly fire coming to the world.

"No, we have overlooked one point. This may be a trap set by the Dragon King to prevent Lin Nian and the others from escaping. If Lin Nian cannot use 'Snap' in the water and collides with the Dragon King head-on, even if both parties have no speech spirit, the head-on You will suffer a lot if you fight against Lin Nian!" Manstein's face turned even uglier as if he had realized something.

"If this is the case, the only place suitable for fighting would be in the Bronze City where there might be air?" Caesar continued to speculate further, "So now Lin Nian may have discovered something strange outside the Bronze City and chose to go further." Fighting with the Dragon King in the Bronze City, which is suitable for fighting?"

"This is just speculation." Manstein's expression changed again and again, but he finally made up his mind, "For Group B to dive, we need to know the underwater situation before we can make further judgments. If Lin Nian is really trapped in The Bronze City is in crisis, so we will directly blast the Bronze City to destroy the sophisticated and huge alchemy facility!"

"This is a desperate move," said the first mate.

"Now we can only make a desperate move. The Dragon King has waited for the person he wants to wait for, so we can't give him a chance to take revenge." Manstein said coldly, "Loading the 'Storm Torpedo', alchemy has always been They are all sophisticated matrices that are difficult to break through from the inside, but if there is enough external influence, they may be able to destroy the Dragon King’s careful layout!”

"Received the order, Group B is ready to dive." Ye Sheng's voice sounded in the communicator. They sat on the side of the ship and looked in the direction of the captain's cabin and made a ready gesture.

"The map of Bronze City has been uploaded to your terminal." Manstein said to the communicator, "Your main task is not to blast the Bronze City, but to observe the underwater situation and report in real time. If there are any movements of Group A, Immediate report, 'Snake' cannot be used as a communication tool, we will use signal lines to connect the whole process."

"Copy that." Ye Sheng, who was sitting on the side of the boat, said, then he glanced at Ya Ji beside him, "Are you ready?"

Shutoku Aki stopped taking a deep breath, looked at Ye Sheng and nodded, but just when she was about to dive into the water, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a bright light on the dark river far outside the side of the ship, and she immediately reached out her hand. He stopped Ye Sheng from diving and said quickly, "Captain, there is a situation on the river!"

In the direction Jiude Yaji is looking, that is the entrance to Kuimen. There is a flicker of fire approaching here. If the violent storm had not stopped roaring and the lightning and thunder had returned to darkness, Jiude Yaji would still be there. It's hard to spot the steady drifting flames on the river at a glance.

"What is that?" Manstein also immediately came to the observation window on the side and stared at the strange phenomenon appearing on the river behind the Beichuan.

"Telescope." The first mate immediately handed the telescope to Manstein.

Manstein put the result in front of his eyes. He only glanced at it and was shocked. There was an expression of disbelief and extreme weirdness on his face.

"Captain, what did you see?" Caesar noticed a hint of subtlety in Manstein's face.

Manstein didn't answer, because he stayed where he was. Caesar couldn't imagine anything that could shock the old man to such an extreme state. He could only whisper an apology and then left Manstein. Tan took the telescope in his hand and put it in front of his eyes.

When he saw the scene inside the telescope tube, Caesar was stunned and speechless.

He saw a person.

It was a woman, or a young girl, holding an oilcloth torch, sitting on a small boat, entering the Kuimen Pass at a constant speed along the river, and drifting towards them.

If you get closer, you don't need a telescope. Even Ye Sheng and Aji on the side of the boat can see the boat clearly. The moment they saw it clearly, Aji suddenly raised his hand and covered his mouth to contain the shock that almost came out. voice.

That's not a small boat. It's simply a simple bronze coffin. The exterior has a thick green rust, but it still can't cover up the carvings like lush branches and leaves. The fonts like small seal scripts are written all over the entire coffin body and are locked by red iron locks. The whole thing was tied up, as if it was extremely afraid of the sleeping things inside suddenly waking up.

And on top of the coffin, stood a blond girl with bright golden eyes, holding a blazing torch high in one hand. The firelight illuminated the blood-red river water beside the coffin. In the river, one after another, white snake-faced souls with human bodies used their snake bodies to hold up the coffin that should have sunk, silently in the windless and stagnant Kuimen River area. Forward.

".Mandy Gonzalez?" Caesar read out the name of the blonde girl in the captain's room, and also revealed the real reason that made Manstein beside him fall into stunned shock.

ps: There is also.
