"Okay, okay, I know you are strong."
Angers shook his head helplessly, "But so what? The Philosopher's Stone is indeed very effective against dragons, but you have to hit it hard. Don't think that sleeping dragons are easy to mess with..."
He recalled that operation on the ice sea in the far north...
Human beings still know too little about the dragon clan. No one knows what kind of power those terrible guys have. Even if they are asleep, it is not a time for them to take it lightly. It was because of underestimating the enemy that they learned a bloody lesson.
"Since you know that dragons have spiritual realms even when they are sleeping, you should also know what kind of effects such realms may have..."
"You mean... it will feel dangerously close the moment we step into the field?" Yue Xiao frowned.
"That's right..."
Ange's expression was a little solemn, "We must be prepared for it to wake up early during the survey."
Rather, this is why survey missions are so dangerous. Most of the time, the secret party suffered heavy casualties when facing dragons because they woke them up in advance without any precautions during the investigation process.
The power of dragons is beyond what humans can withstand. Even if humans are prepared, the winning rate against dragons will not be too high, let alone a sudden attack and a war in the opponent's territory! Just like in the Ice Sea, people were buried in the ice without even being able to see the true face of their opponents in the end. And it's the same this time. If the dragon clan is awakened underground, there is a high probability that those who go down will also be trapped below.
The only difference may be that the company's power can take extraordinary measures after an accident occurs.
But what that means to the people buried underneath is unknown.
In short, those who dive will inevitably bear the greatest risks.
"What? Are you scared? Old friend."
Yue Xiao asked with a chuckle.
"Afraid? I won't die until the dragons are exterminated."
Angers fiddled with the folding knife in his hand confidently.
······
When Xu San and Xu Si brought Sun Haoran to the temporary command room, the discussion between Yue Xiao and Ange had ended.
Soon after, the 'Dragon Sword' was also delivered to the door.
Everything needed to slay the dragon was ready, so after a brief explanation, Sun Haoran and Guo Hui, who was carrying the dragon slaying knife, came to the bottom of the valley under the leadership of Anger.
The employees of the engineering department are busy cleaning up the rubble from the previous landslide. Because the previous hole has been buried, they can only use a ground drill to ruthlessly drive piles in the valley and re-drill towards the measured position to be able to get down. The entrance to the underground river. Fortunately, all they need is a cave entrance that can allow one person to pass through, so the amount of work is actually not large. Fortunately, because this is an uninhabited place under the cliff, it is not considered a scenic spot, so they don't have to worry about damage. Scenic spots and other situations face high compensation.
"Minister, the combat uniforms provided by the Equipment Department seem a bit tight..."
Sun Haoran put on the underwater combat uniform provided by the equipment department and complained through the headset to Yue Xiao, who was still in charge of the command room.
"...No way? This is tailor-made according to the size of your previous physical examination." A somewhat confused voice came from the other side.
"Oh, that's okay..."
Sun Haoran sighed helplessly.
All previous data can now be voided.
Although he doesn't seem to have changed much on the surface, that's because he usually wears relatively loose work clothes and uniforms. This is an 'artifact' that can completely cover up even Sister Baoer's original dazzling figure. In fact, it is impossible for his body shape to remain unchanged as his muscle density continues to increase.
"Is there a bigger one?"
"No, just dress appropriately. It won't affect your actions anyway, right?"
There is something in Yue Xiao's words.
"Right……"
Sun Haoran rolled his eyes.
Indeed, there was no need for this crap after he transformed. No matter how good the combat uniform is, can it be more effective than his armor that can withstand monster-like physical strength?
"By the way... I don't seem to have any diving experience, what should I do?"
"..."
Angers, who had also changed into combat uniforms, was speechless.
If he hadn't known that this young man was not an ordinary person, he would have even suspected that Yue Xiao wanted to take this opportunity to bury him underneath to avenge the knife attack. After all, from the time he discussed the battle plan to the time when it was about to be executed, he couldn't see anything reliable about these people. Although it is true that the people in the company are not very professional in speaking to each other, isn't this a bit too childish?
"Didn't I send you the best diving instructor?"
Yue Xiao joked on the channel.
No way? No way? The elite dragon slayer leader of the secret party can't even dive, right? He felt that what he said was indeed correct.
"I……"
Ange pointed at himself doubtfully, then curled his fingers into fists.
If he hadn't taken action soon, he would have gone back to the command room and whipped the boy who was seeking revenge.
I, the president of Kassel College, am worthy of being a diving instructor here! ?
"Then...I'd like to trouble you, Principal Angers."
"Alas..." Ange sighed helplessly.
"Report, the excavation work is nearing completion and is expected to be completed in one minute."
The sound of the engineering team's report sounded on the channel.
With the roar of the drill bit in the ground, the soil that was already close to the underground river became moist, and the wet soil flew toward the outside. Everyone was staring at the project in front of them attentively. After all, the moment the passage is opened, it means that the battle has officially begun.
The budgeted minute passed quickly, and sure enough, the mud turned into muddy water, and a large amount of muddy water mixed with mud sprayed out.
"Okay, the engineering team has evacuated, and then the battle begins. Are you ready, kids?"
Yue Xiao was giving orders in the command room.
"..."
Angers always felt that something was wrong. He actually wanted to ask this boy if he usually commanded his subordinates in this way.
"?"
Sun Haoran also had some doubts in his heart.
The minister is usually quite serious when fighting, right? Why do you feel weird today?
Forget it, let's go down first and talk about it later.
"Ready!"
"Very good. Let's start diving once the water pressure drops."
"clear."
Upon hearing this, Sun Haoran put on a diving mask and got ready, while Anger and Guo Hui, who was in charge of carrying the knife, did the same.
In fact, Yue Xiao originally planned to only let Ange and Sun Haoran dive on this mission. After all, one of these two people is a monster and the other is an old monster. There should be no danger when they go down, but Guo Hui is unwilling to kill the dragon. I only wanted to lend the knife to the company and accompany him on the dive. Even if Yue Xiao could guarantee his personality, he would not agree.
Isn't it just a broken knife? As for such a treasure! ? This was obviously for the boy's safety.
Yue Xiao couldn't understand what this kid was thinking at all. Although he was helpless, he could only agree to let this kid accompany him on the dive.
Anger walked to the entrance of the cave with his head. With his "S" level bloodline and bug-like physique, he didn't need to wait for the water pressure to drop before he could dive, but in order to cooperate with the other two teenagers around him, he All we can do is wait patiently for a while.
Sun Haoran followed Anger indifferently to the entrance of the cave where water jets were gushing out and waited.
"What two monsters..." Guo Hui looked at the backs of the two men and held the handle of the dragon-slaying knife. He seemed to be the only one among the three who had not stepped forward for the time being.
A person must be self-aware. He knows that he cannot dive against the current in such water pressure, even with a dragon-slaying knife. After all, the physiques of people cannot be generalized.
From this point of view alone, it would be a burden for him to dive with him, but there was no way. The dragon-slaying knife was a treasure passed down from their family. The head of the family had told them that they could not leave unless they died.
Gradually, the water jets gushing outward became weaker and weaker.
"Then I'll leave it to you. If something unexpected happens, remember to provide support at any time."
Angre explained to Yue Xiao on the channel.
Although he is not afraid, this is not his territory after all, and the target below may not even be the Dragon King. He does not want to be trapped down there by such a guy.
"Do not worry."
This time, Yue Xiao's tone did not mean to be joking, but became a little serious, "Then, the battle begins."
"Set off."
Ange shouted softly from the two of them behind him, and then jumped into the hole.
puff--
Sun Haoran looked at the figure jumping into the water with some surprise.
Although he had known for a long time that this old man who was over a hundred years old was still going strong, he was still a little shocked to see an old guy of this age forcefully dive against the fast current with his own physical strength.
He only saw the bright golden eyes lighting up in the countercurrent, and then the rope connected to Angers around his waist began to exert downward force.
Can you imagine that an old man over a hundred years old not only walks backwards in a current flowing at a speed of nearly ten kilometers per hour like a normal person, but also has the energy to take care of the two young people behind him?
As for not being able to dive, you want Angers to be a diving instructor? Angers said not to be joking, he could drag the two boys to their destination even if they did deadlifts.
Sun Haoran always felt that this time the dragon might be torn into pieces by the old man without having to do anything himself.
Then, he stepped into the cold rolling water without hesitation.
The two monsters dragged a tool man and began to rush towards the place where the dragon was sleeping.
It was pitch black, and the only light was the diving lights they each carried. The relationship between these two people is not very familiar, so they have not spoken much since they dived. There is only the sound of rushing water around them, and the faint sound like the roar of a dragon makes people's hearts tremble. In fact, the place they are going to is indeed. This is where the dragon is.
"How far is it to reach the bottom of the water?"
Sun Haoran asked.
According to normal logic, the place where the dragon clan sleeps cannot be floating in the middle of the river, so their survey must start from the bottom of the water.
"Soon."
Angers replied and climbed down the rock wall faster.
In fact, he can be faster, and Sun Haoran who is following him can also be faster, but they must match the speed of the 'Dragon Slayer'.
This made Angers unhappy.
Dragon slaying was a cruel mission, and he didn't have the time to protect an oil bottle, but that boy Yue Xiao also said that after all, the dragon slaying knife was someone else's property, and they had no right to plunder it. In this regard, he could only joke that the company was really humane, at least according to the secret party's methods, if they wanted to 'borrow' something, they would never be so gentle.
If it can't be solved with money, then solve it with people.
"arrive."
Ange said calmly.
"oh."
Sun Haoran also responded in a similar tone.
Guo Hui in the back didn't feel so comfortable. His physique was already different from the two monsters in front. In addition, these two monsters didn't seem to intend to accommodate him. They almost dragged him forward with a rope around his waist. The pulling force was very strong, and the countercurrent of the underground river was pushing him backward. This made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
He didn't know why the water flow in this underground river was so fast, and the buoyancy in the water made him feel like his body had nowhere to exert force.
I don’t know how the two monsters in front of me can be so stable. Is the gap between them really so big?
In fact, of course it was huge, and much larger than he imagined.
Ange's bloodline is a real 'S' level, and it is an S level that can compete with Japan's 'Emperor' decades ago. The emperor's blood is also a very special existence among the entire mixed race, it is the only one who has surpassed The critical bloodline can still maintain a thread of human sanity. Although one can gain powerful power by crossing the critical blood line, for ordinary mixed-race species, the only result is to go berserk and become a 'Deadpool', while the 'Emperor' with 'Emperor Blood' can remain sane, in other words, the real A humanoid tyrannosaurus that possesses sanity in a sense.
Angers was the one who hung up such a humanoid Tyrannosaurus and beat him ruthlessly.
Although he does have an advantage in speech and spirit, no one would doubt his power.
So it is natural to be able to face such a situation with ease.
Not to mention Sun Haoran on the other side. He is simply as stable as a mountain in a physical sense. His high-density body is far beyond the reach of ordinary people and even hybrids. Coupled with his powerful strength, he is actually taller than he is now. Hot and relaxing.
"According to the detection results of the instrument, the target seems to be where the water flow is the most turbulent, and the time is limited."
Ange said nonchalantly, and then moved in the established direction.
The flow of this underground river seems to have been disturbed by some force. Not all places have the same flow rate, and the direction they want to go is easy to find. They just need to go in the direction with the fastest flow rate. . In other words, just go with the flow.
But in fact, they were not able to relax their bodies and just drift with the current as easily as they imagined.
Because according to the results of the exploration, the place where this situation can occur is most likely a 'vortex'.
