Chapter 68 I'm in a hurry
"Turn on the sonar immediately!"
Taken aback, Mans quickly gave the order.
The appearance of such a giant wave can only mean one thing—Lu Mingfei has directly awakened the underwater Bronze City!
But how did he know... no, I should say how he did it.
Mans turned his binoculars toward the boy's figure, both surprised and curious. Where had Angers found such a person?
Could it be the Dragon King?!
The thought had barely crossed his mind when he shook his head vigorously. That man would never cooperate with the Dragon King; it was utterly absurd.
Not to mention he also had a grudge against a Dragon King.
But if that's the case.........
"Professor, a huge reaction has been detected underwater!" Selma's voice interrupted his thoughts and drew his attention.
"What's going on?"
"The sonar detected an anomaly at the bottom of the riverbed; it looks like the soil layers have been pushed open by something." Selma ran to Mans' side with her tablet and showed him the sonic imaging on the screen. "Look, the rock structure in this area is undergoing a large-scale displacement."
Mans took the tablet and stared at the real-time generated 3D acoustic images.
About forty meters below the riverbed, the originally dense sedimentary and rock layers were broken apart by tremendous force, and the surging dust blocked the reflection of sound waves, forming a huge unknown area in the image.
"The Bronze City has been buried beneath the earth all along?" Mans muttered to himself. "No wonder the ancient books only vaguely mention 'Dragon Coiling Water Palace,' but no one has ever actually located it..."
Before he could finish speaking, a sudden change occurred.
The huge, unknown area in the sonar image suddenly split open.
—A powerful echo signal of astonishing scale emerged from it, its outline and energy response far exceeding any known underwater structure.
Upon seeing this, Mans's expression changed drastically.
"That's not a building..." he almost spat out the words through gritted teeth, "That's... a living thing."
The reason why the sonar detected this area as unknown is because the dust made the sonar image appear as a high-noise, low-signal-noise ratio state.
But once something separates the dust from it, it will naturally become visible.
As if to confirm his judgment, the strong echo began to move—
The sound waves reflected too quickly for the system to image accurately, but the screen could still capture the trajectory rising straight up at an astonishing speed.
Its target was clear: the river surface.
More precisely, it was Lu Mingfei, who was standing helplessly on the river at that moment.
Mans suddenly raised his head and looked in Lu Mingfei's direction; he had realized what was happening.
That's a dragon! A guard responsible for protecting the Dragon King's palace.
.............
"You've arrived, Dragon Servant."
On the river, Lu Mingfei sensed the restlessness underwater. Clearly, the other party had sensed Lao Tang's blood and was becoming anxious.
The Bronze City has been activated, and the Dragon Servants, as its last line of defense, have naturally awakened as well.
Unlike the rigid bronze mechanisms, the dragon, as the guardian, possesses true intelligence.
Lu Mingfei was not the Dragon King, and he did not possess the imposing aura that commanded all dragons to bow down. In the eyes of this ancient guardian, he was nothing more than a usurper who had trespassed into the sacred land and disturbed the long slumber.
He probably wants to tear him to pieces, right?
As Lu Mingfei sensed it, a flash of fire appeared between his fingers, and a yellow magic talisman appeared between his fingers.
He looked up at the restless riverbank, his voice flat to the point of indifference:
"Logically speaking, I should have a good fight with you as a sign of respect for you 'opening the door' for me."
Beneath the river, the dark figure was clearly visible; its massive silhouette, radiating a menacing aura, broke through the water and rapidly approached.
Lu Mingfei shook his head slightly, and the magic runes at his fingertips began to burn silently.
"but........"
Facing the menacing shadow that was about to break through the water, he uttered his final words:
"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry."
If Lu Mingfei were to fight this himself, it would definitely not be something that could be resolved in a short time. If there were only one dragon in this place, it wouldn't be a big deal.
But with Lu Mingfei's perception ability, he was able to clearly detect the second life force deep within the Bronze City.
There's another dragon!
That's not his fault.
Lu Mingfei leaped from the river, his body as light as a swallow, and instantly stopped in mid-air, several meters above the river.
Almost simultaneously, the dark shadow underwater, with overwhelming force, burst through the water's surface, carrying icy water spray and violent killing intent, soaring straight into the sky!
The bright yellow talisman shone brightly at his fingertips, and magical power surged and shaped behind him.
"Great Divine Power Talisman - Illusionary Cold Needle Talisman!"
Lu Mingfei whispered the name of the talisman.
As soon as he finished speaking, two enormous, almost transparent ice crystal needles suddenly condensed in the previously empty air.
The needle gleamed with a cold, eerie blue light, and upon closer inspection, countless fine and intricate runes flowed across its surface.
In just a moment.
The long needle shot out silently, drawing two intersecting, eerie blue trails in the air before piercing straight through the enormous, menacing black shadow that burst forth from the water and lunged forward.
Even time seemed to freeze for a single frame.
The dragon servant's ferocious figure suddenly froze in mid-air, his violent golden eyes reflecting unbelievable astonishment. His jet-black, sturdy scales couldn't withstand the attack for even a moment, and were easily pierced like paper.
Fine ice crystals spread wildly from the pierced wound, instantly covering its body, which was covered with bluish-black scales.
There was no earth-shattering noise, no death throes.
The next moment, the enormous dragon body seemed to have been drained of all its life force, and it plummeted straight down.
The moment it touched the river surface, ice crystals suddenly spread out from the point of impact, and the river water within a radius of tens of meters was instantly frozen, forming an abrupt ice surface that sealed the dragon's body within it.
seconds.
Or rather, it would be abnormal if he didn't succeed instantly. With the help of his innate divine power, as long as he took out the talisman, the memories originating from the nameless place would enter his mind through the divine power.
With the aid of those memories, the power of this great supernatural talisman can be unleashed at least 80%.
With just a thought, he could turn the dragon's body into a cloud of ice dust and completely dissipate it.
But since people have come from Kassel, we should leave them some, right?
Everyone who sees it gets a share.
Lu Mingfei hovered in the air, his clothes completely dry. He silently activated the magic technique within his body, instantly seizing ninety percent of the pure essence within the dragon's body.
It wasn't that Lu Mingfei didn't want to take it all, but if he did, the dragon's body would probably collapse completely, leaving not even ashes.
"This dragon is so big, it's worth at least several hundred million or tens of millions of yuan if you calculate it based on pork prices. You've really hit the jackpot."
He lowered his eyes, his gaze piercing through the ice and river water, landing on the bronze city deep within.
"There's one more," Lu Mingfei murmured to himself. A fiery door opened beside him, illuminating his serene profile. He transformed into a stream of light and vanished into it.
The river posed no obstacle to him, and even the bronze city's intricately carved gold patterns and tightly closed gates had no effect on him.
Lu Mingfei's figure had already appeared inside the Bronze City.
