Lu Mingfei, who studied Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

"Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei, can you hear me?"

"The Maritime Safety Administration of the Yangtze River Channel informed us that this was an underwater earthquake with a magnitude of 5.3, and it would be accompanied by aftershocks. We cannot rule out the possibility of a stronger second-level earthquake!"

"If you receive the news, evacuate immediately!"

In the control room of the turbulent "Monyach", Mance yelled at the pager. The earthquake rolled up a sky-covering wave and hit the front glass of the control room, making a thunderous explosion.

"Damn it, we can't contact them anymore, close the line, hurry up! Pull them back!"

"Captain, the thread has been retracted! But... it's broken..." The second mate on the deck pulled the dark thread, and the break was smooth and flat. The man in the raincoat turned pale.

The engine that retrieved the lifeline was still spinning out of control, and the threads slapped heavily on the deck. Mance in the control room was stunned, and the cigar in his hand fell straight to the ground. Panic and ferocity crept up on him at the same time. face.

…

In the rock crevices deep under the water.

The violent vibrations temporarily subsided, but the rolling and stirring dust was still overwhelming. The spotlights could not penetrate the fine sand, and the vision was blurred and turbid.

The chaotic sound of electricity buzzed in the earphones. Chu Zihang held the lifeline with a flat cut in his hand, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop twitching.

After the earthquake, they were quickly swept under the cracks in the rock formations. Professor Mance and the others on the water should have also noticed that the lifelines on their bodies suddenly contracted.

The two huge forces of river irrigation and rope pulling seemed to tear them apart and crush them! Even the nano-scale diving suits they were wearing couldn't withstand it. It was as if two elephants were holding their necks and feet at the same time. Two mutually exclusive forces were fighting for them, and their bodies were suppressed by the huge force, unable to move.

In the direction where the lifeline pulled them, the rock was as sharp as a barb. Seeing that the two bodies were about to hit the stone thorn, Lu Mingfei pulled out Murasame behind Chu Zihang at the critical moment and slashed the lifeline of the two. break.

Now when Chu Zihang raised his head, he could only see the dark stone walls and thick dust. They no longer knew how far they had been washed down, as if they had fallen into an abyss where the sun could not be seen.

Well, I’m saved…it seems like I’m not completely saved?

"Senior brother, we are here." Lu Mingfei called softly not far away.

Chu Zihang turned his head when he heard the sound and squinted his eyes. Most of the dust had slowly settled down. They were floating in the green water. The headlight shone forward, and a burst of green light appeared in his eyes. .

It was a wall, a huge bronze wall that stood before them.

The thick bronze walls are covered with dark green moss due to being irrigated by the river all year round. The bronze barriers extend in all directions with them as the starting point, with no end as far as the eye can see, as if there is another boundless world hidden under the water.

"This is..." Chu Zihang was also shocked by the endless huge wall in front of him.

No, it should be said to be an underwater city so big that you can't even see the end of it.

"White Emperor City!" Lu Mingfei spit out the name coldly.

"The palace of the King of Bronze and Fire is a huge city built by hollowing out the mountain during the Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago. It was a political figure named 'Gongsun Shu' who separatized Shu in order to resist the new emperor Mang at that time. For building such a majestic city, some people say he is a fool, while others call him the 'White Emperor'!"

In front of the giant bronze city, Lu Mingfei quietly described its origins.

"White Emperor? I thought the White Emperor in history referred to the White King." Chu Zihang said.

"No, the White Emperor refers to the King of Bronze and Fire, also known as the King of Ashes. The world calls White Emperor Gongsun Shu, but Gongsun Shu is not the White Emperor himself."

"Isn't Gongsun Shu the Dragon King?" Chu Zihang frowned slightly.

"Gongsun Shu is not the Dragon King, he is just the person chosen by the Dragon King. The real White Emperor, the King of Bronze and Fire, is his subordinate. His pseudonym is Li Xiong, also known as Norton."

Lu Mingfei gently brushed away the moss and rust clinging to the bronze city. The copper city wall glowed with a shiny green-black luster under the spotlight, as if it were brand new.

Lu Mingfei slowly groped on the huge wall until his hand wrapped in a diving suit touched a high bulge.

…

Zizzi!

The hoarse sound of electricity passed by, and a familiar and clear voice came from the loudspeaker in the control room again.

"Professor Mance, Lu Mingfei and I are both still alive. We have arrived at the gate of Baidi City. In front of us is a huge bronze wall. Beyond that should be the palace of the King of Bronze and Fire. Received Please reply."

Chu Zihang's signal flashed on Norma's channel, and the green light dots dancing on it showed that his body's performance was in a healthy state.

This was what Lu Mingfei suggested when they first came into contact with the Kuimen Project. Directly connect Norma's signal to the sensor in the diving suit, and use the double guarantee of signal lines and wireless signals to avoid underwater accidents. The contact between the mission personnel and the water surface was directly cut off.

"As expected of the 'S' class, you are so damn prescient!" The third pair of broad palms hit the console heavily.

"Damn it, you just survived!" Mance roared loudly at the console, and then exhaled heavily, as if he wanted to expel all the previous worries and panic from his brain in one breath.

If he loses the only "S"-level and "A"-level elite at the same time, it will be difficult for him to bear this responsibility. In other words, it will be difficult for the entire Kassel Academy to accept such a heavy loss!

Mance fell heavily into his seat, and the deep worry gradually disappeared from his face, replaced by deep surprise and anger.

"Asshole, why do you want to cut off the lifeline? Give me a valid reason!" Mance asked loudly after reacting.

"The situation was critical at the time. If we had not cut off the lifeline immediately, Lu Mingfei and I would have hit the stone thorns and been stabbed into human skewers."

"So that's it." Mance seemed to agree with the answer, and then he said with a trembling voice, "By the way, you just said that you found the palace of the King of Bronze and Fire...is it reliable?"

"Well... Lu Mingfei said it was quite reliable. If it weren't for Norton's Bronze City, he would have eaten the moss on the entire wall." Chu Zihang's voice came.

"Asshole, how long have you been and still thinking about gluttony?"

Mance judged the approximate location of the two people on the sonar detector based on the data sent back by Norma, "You wait, I will go down to find you with the 'key' blood sample and the spare lifeline. Stay where you are and don't move. Remember to stay connected!”

"No need, Professor Mance." Chu Zihang said.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Mance, who had just put on his windbreaker and was about to leave the control room, asked with a frown.

"Lu Mingfei has already opened the Bronze City."

"Turn it on? How did he do it? With his own blood?" Mance asked with a frown.

This guess is not impossible. The King of Bronze and Fire's achievements in alchemy are unmatched. Most of his palaces will be guarded by living beings who retain their spirit and will. Such living beings must be of high purity. Lu Mingfei’s blood was of “S” level, and the purity of his blood was high enough!

Mance felt that he was smart enough to guess the truth!

"No, Professor, you guessed wrong. He just said something and the door opened." After Chu Zihang said this, he temporarily broke off contact with the control room.

"Hey...hey! Damn it, finish what you said, what does 'just say a word and it opens' mean? Couldn't this door be broken by voice control?" Mance inserted his hands into the back of his head, pulling at his black hair in distress, and said The roots were pulled raw and painful.

underwater.

A strange pattern protruded from the wall in front of Lu Mingfei. A twisted and weird bronze human face was biting a burning firewood, and its spiky teeth were as sharp as daggers.

Lu Mingfei's eyes suddenly lit up with two dazzling golden lights. The dazzling golden light seemed to pierce the diving suit and light up the entire dark underwater. His voice was cold and majestic, like a high emperor.

"Open sesame."

The bronze human face quickly opened its clenched teeth as if receiving a pardon. The bronze wall trembled violently. Precision mechanical gears rotated and locked in the wall. A black hole like the maw of the abyss slowly extended in all directions on the bronze wall. Open.

For a moment, the whole city seemed to be turned upside down and turned upside down!
