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

"Are you ready? This time the dive will be carried out by Group C and Group D. You have also had this kind of cooperation experience during training. You must be vigilant and look after each other at all times. Don't be careless."

On the side of the ship, Manstein looked at Chu Zihang and Caesar who had put on nano-diving suits. "Her original words were that the torch on the coffin would not go out even after it entered the water. The problem should be with the oilcloth." Regarding the materials used, after the torches burn out, the corpse guards may riot and attack the coffin, so whether you have completed the task or not, you must evacuate the water and leave the coffin as soon as possible before the torches are extinguished."

"Exactly how long can the torch burn? We have already wasted a lot of time." Caesar arranged the zipper and compressed gas bottle on the back of Ling's diving suit, and looked at the coffin in the center of the group of corpse guards outside the ship's side.

"I don't know. She only gave such a vague statement and was unwilling to say anything else. So, act according to the situation, don't be brave or rush in." Manstein looked at the lifeboat hanging on the side of the ship and said, "We We will hang iron chains on the coffin, and once the Dragon King is really lured out by the contents of the coffin, we will pull the coffin out of the water to lure him out."

"It's like fishing," Caesar said suddenly.

"Yes, it's just like fishing. It's just that both the bait and the fish are a bit too 'bloated'." Manstein paused and nodded slowly, "But be careful not to be dragged into the water by the fish. This is The most shameful and unwilling way for an angler to die."

"yes."

Chu Zihang and Su Qian jumped into the lifeboat first, followed by Caesar and Zero. After all four people got on the rubber boat, Manstein made a gesture and the lifeboat was slowly lowered to the water.

"Men first." Caesar picked up one of the oars on the lifeboat and threw it to Chu Zihang. Both men picked up the oars and began to slide on the bloody water, gradually approaching the bronze coffin that was stagnating in the distance.

The closer they got, the more clearly the four people on the lifeboat could see the white faces of the corpse guards under the water. Those expressionless pale faces, with dim golden pupils facing neatly towards the bronze coffin, were full of incomprehensible things. of fanaticism.

Chu Zihang and Caesar couldn't help but relax a lot in their rowing movements. Now they were basically floating above a group of living dead. All they could see were pale dead faces and python-like bodies. No matter how brave they were, No matter how old you are, you will hold your breath in front of this scene.

However, there are always people who are bolder than common sense, such as Su Qian. While Chu Zihang was rowing, she gently pulled out Murasame from Chu Zihang's waist with her right hand. She held the knife in both hands and submerged the blade into the water, aiming it not far away. As the lifeboat moved forward, the corpse guard approached them. The corpse guard turned its back to them, as if it was completely unaware of the impending death.

Both Caesar and Chu Zihang noticed Su Qian's action, but they did not say anything to stop it. Even Zero silently watched the senior sister's hasty action that might anger the entire corpse guard group. The tip of Murasame's knife was getting closer to the back of the corpse guard's head inch by inch. As long as Susie moved her hand forward quickly, the corpse guard would die violently.

At the last moment, Susie suddenly raised the tip of Murasame's sword. The sword passed across the corpse's head, leaving a white mark but no blood was seen.

"It seems that as long as we don't hurt them, they will indeed ignore us completely." Su Qian said as she returned Murasame to the scabbard on Chu Zihang's waist.

"The things in the coffin are very attractive. We were suddenly downgraded to buffet-level frozen food in the eyes of these monsters." Caesar turned to look at the animal that had been targeted by Susie's murderous intent and was still pious now. Said to the corpse guard in the coffin.

"The question we should think about now is how to get the coffin underwater." Susie said, looking at the bronze coffin that was so close.

"The boat will naturally straighten out when it reaches the bridge." Caesar stopped rowing, and the lifeboat slowly approached the bronze coffin. Finally, just before the collision was about to occur, both oars gently hit the side of the coffin.

The bronze coffin shifted slightly due to the force. The torch standing on the coffin lost its center of gravity and was about to fall. However, one hand grabbed it first. It was Chu Zihang. After throwing away the oar, he took a nimble step. He jumped up to the coffin lid and half-knelt down, grabbing the torch.

Maintaining his kneeling position, he also used the light of the torch in his hand to illuminate the dense patterns on the coffin, which were as dense as vine branches. The countless grooves were like a group of snakes twisting together, and the runes and lines were composed layer by layer. One after another 'circles' of different sizes were formed, which were traces of alchemy, but they didn't know what the effect would be when activated.

"What should we do now? Four people stand up and sink the coffin into the water together?" Susie leaned out and hung one end of the iron chain connecting the lifeboat to the Beichuan on the red chain of the coffin.

"The coffin was lifted out of the water by the corpse guards. As long as the balance is disturbed, it will fall underwater." Zero said. She looked at the corpse guards in the blood water below the bronze coffin and said they were like carps.

"I have a way." Chu Zihang said suddenly on the coffin. He threw the torch to Caesar in the lifeboat, stood on the coffin and began to untie the spare safety rope behind his back, and tied one end to the baby on the coffin. The other end of the thick red chain on his arm was tied to his waist.

Su Qian frowned subconsciously when she saw Chu Zihang's movements.

"We have no time." After tying the rope, Chu Zihang glanced at Su Qian and said.

He nodded at Caesar, then put on his oxygen mask and turned the valve of the compressed gas cylinder.

Seeing Chu Zihang's actions, how could Caesar still not understand what he wanted to do? Although this was what a madman did, he had no other choice but to let this guy go crazy for once.

He handed the torch to Ling, took off the spare safety rope from his back, tied one end to his waist, and threw the other end towards Chu Zihang.

"Me first." After doing all this, Caesar took the torch again, then sat on the edge of the lifeboat, stretched out his feet and entered the water little by little.

From the perspective of Manstein and others watching on the deck, Caesar could be said to have fallen alone into the water where the corpse guards gathered, with monsters with snake bodies and human faces tightly surrounding him. This was almost like jumping into the water. Just as creepy as a swimming pool with an extremely slow python.

But they couldn't see a trace of fear on Caesar who was entering the water. The right hand holding the torch was as steady as a rock. Even when he entered the river, there was a corpse guard almost face to face with him, and his movements were There was no trace of stagnation or stiffness, just like a snake sliding smoothly into the blood.

Caesar was the first to enter the water, and the torch in his hand was immersed in the water with him. From the water, the flame did not go out but lit up a ball of red light like a bright lamp in the bright red river. It is worth mentioning that in The corpse guards around Caesar actually took the initiative to avoid the red light, which seemed to be the natural rejection of high temperatures by cold-blooded animals.

On the bronze coffin, Chu Zihang watched the red light gradually descending, and the safety rope connected to it around his waist gradually straightened. He immediately followed it into the water, without any fear or hesitation.

On the lifeboat, Zero and Susie quietly looked at the safety rope tied to the red chain of the coffin. The rope floating on the water gradually straightened and then burst out with a force that destroyed the balance of the bronze coffin. The coffin was being lifted. He tilted and then fell into the water due to the weight, causing a splash!

"Here we go," Susie said.

The coffin began to sink, and the chains on the lifeboat were also pulled underwater. The white souls under the river suddenly began to move. They turned in unison and swam deeper into the water, just like migrating fish schools.

Susie and Zero immediately followed, tying safety ropes to each other and jumping into the water, following the 'large army'.

On the deck, Manstein looked at the last empty lifeboat left on the blood-red water. He couldn't help but clenched his fists and knocked on the steel side of the ship. Everything that happened next had to be left to fate.

—

After entering the water, their eyes were bright red, but there was a flash of fire in the red that illuminated the way forward. Even if the visibility was almost zero, Susie and Zero could rely on the blurry light to determine the dive route of Caesar at the bottom.

"This is the Beichuan, and I am Captain Manstein. Is everything going well now?" The signal of the 'Snake' was still stable, and Manstein's voice rang out on the public channel listened to by the headset.

Zero replied, "We are crossing the 'Red Sea', and our field of vision is almost zero, but there is no sign of the torch being extinguished for the time being, and there is no sign of an attack by the corpse guards. So far, things are going smoothly."

"Your diving suit is equipped with a camera. After passing through the 'Red Sea' area, it must be activated together with the diving light to transmit underwater images." Manstein said.

"Roger that," Susie replied.

According to the previous diving experience of Team A, the vertical diving distance of the 'Red Sea' is about fifty meters. Everyone can feel varying degrees of uneasiness in this blood-red sea. But perhaps it is because it blocks the line of sight, The fear of diving with a large number of corpse guards has been greatly weakened, which can be regarded as a blessing.

But luck often only lasts for a short moment. The fifty-meter 'Red Sea' area was quickly passed through. Susie's vision returned to clarity. After the relatively clean river water washed away the blood redness in front of her eyes, she opened the lid above her head as ordered. Diving lights and cameras.

At the same time, a clear picture was broadcast on the big screen in the captain's room, accompanied by the sound of everyone gasping.

In the picture, in the 100-meter-deep water, the first thing that can be seen is a torch that emits an eye-catching light in the dark depths of the river. It is Caesar holding a torch and leading the way. He is wandering under the empty and silent deep water.

And behind him was a scene that was truly terrifying and breathtaking.

Following Caesar in the faint firelight emitted by the torch was a huge black whirlpool composed of hundreds of corpse guards with snake bodies and human faces. They seemed to be a silent army, swimming slowly. Following the leader of the flames, they continued to dive into the empty and silent waters.

At first glance, the swirling black shadow formed by the snakes collapsed toward the bottom of the water like a falling mountain, and Caesar at the front seemed to be swimming downwards trying to avoid the disaster that was slowly collapsing above his head.

Dragons enter the abyss.
