The rain continued to pound on the deck, the long roar of the ship overwhelmed the water waves, the two ships stood side by side, and the lights on the Monyach came on.
Two figures in raincoats were very agile. After the Monyach agreed to board the ship, they jumped onto the deck without even waiting to be greeted.
Mance pushed open the front cabin door and stepped forward, frowning slightly as he looked at the two people coming towards him.
"Hello, I am the captain of this ship, Mans Rundstedt."
"Oh, hello professor, I am the director of the company's execution department, Yue Xiao."
Yue Xiao stepped forward to greet Mance enthusiastically, and the two walked into the cabin together while saying polite words, and the execution department employees who were traveling with Yue Xiao followed closely behind.
"Then...is there anything important for you to come here in person?"
After returning to the cabin, Mance asked seriously, "You should also know the current situation, right? There is a monster waking up underwater and may attack us at any time. We must hurry up and prepare to fight."
"Don't worry Professor, that's exactly why we're here."
Yue Xiao replied calmly, "Actually, we are here to ask you to evacuate the ships from this river area first."
"Your Excellency, do you know what you are talking about? I think I have explained it clearly. The current situation is that there is a huge monster under the water, and we must prepare to fight it!" Mance said with a hint of laughter in his tone. of anger.
retreat? How can it be! ?
Two of his students were killed below, and the culprit dragon is below and will appear at any time. You let him just retreat without doing anything! ?
"Of course I know what I'm talking about." Yue Xiao's tone became serious. "Professor, you have to understand that this is our territory. The agreement between Angers and me is very clear. You can only explore the ruins." Authority, no one has ever allowed you to use force here."
"Then if it attacks us, we can't wait to be beaten, right!?" Mance asked.
"So I want you to evacuate here first, and leave the rest to us." Yue Xiao said matter-of-factly.
"No, forgive me for rejecting your request." Mance's tone was a little unhappy. "Two of my students were killed below. It is impossible to leave without doing anything."
"I understand how you feel, but professor...who said two of your students are dead?"
Yue Xiao chuckled and introduced the employees following him to Mance, "This is the employee I brought from the company. His ability is the same as your student Ye Sheng, he is the spirit of speech and snake."
"You mean..."
Mance was slightly startled when he heard this.
Although he was surprised that the other party knew everything about their actions and even found out the names of the students who dived, but at this moment, his focus was not on this but on the meaning of Yue Xiao's words.
"Ye Sheng and Aki...are still alive!?"
"Of course, my staff has confirmed this just now."
Yue Xiao nodded slightly, and the employees on the side also nodded respectfully.
"Actually, we should have discovered the dragons sleeping here before you did. I just asked my staff to contact Ye Sheng and ask him to act according to our plan."…
"No wonder Ye Sheng suddenly changed his direction...but...why would he listen to you!? And...are there other exits from this city!?" Mance asked with confusion.
"He can only listen to us."
The employee on the side explained calmly, "Since his speech spirit is the same as mine, he can naturally also feel that the so-called 'road to life' is actually a road to death. According to our intelligence, even if the owner of this Dragon King's palace is not here, There should be at least one dragon attendant guarding this place. Since the dragon attendant's task is to protect the city, it will not let anyone leave the city alive. It will definitely guard the only exit. Your two students have no choice. You can only follow our orders."
"What...then what to do next!? You also said that is the only way out." Mance asked anxiously.
"So, didn't I come to inform you?" Yue Xiao chuckled, "Professor, please take your students and leave from here first, and leave the rest to us. Since the plan we made is honest Saying you stay will only hinder us."
"But that's...our student." Mance understood, but hesitated.
"There are also citizens of our country among your students." Yue Xiao's tone was extremely serious, "Taking a step back... Even if you stay, you are 100% sure to rely on the equipment on your ship to deal with a living giant. Dragon? No, you don’t have one, but we do.”
"this……"
Mance was speechless upon hearing this.
He knew what equipment they had on the ship. The guys in the country knew it best. There was nothing they could do about it. This was their territory after all. Everything was reported before they entered the river area. The permission was indeed only given to them. 'Exploration,' means that the equipment on their ship is far from reaching the ideal specifications. It is already the limit to deal with the third generation species. If the dragon is the second generation species or even the Dragon King, they have no chance of winning.
"Professor, if you think about it, get your ship away as soon as possible. As you said yourself, our time is indeed limited." Yue Xiao looked at Mance in front of him seriously, "I hope you believe that we have more reasons than you. Go save him, we are fulfilling our obligation to save our citizens, and you are just obstructing official business by staying!"
"I see."
In the end, Mance had no choice but to accept Yue Xiao's proposal and let the crew temporarily sail the Monyach away from the river area.
Although he was a little reluctant, the other party was right.
The equipment they carried was not fully confident to deal with the big guys below, and he could not think of a way to get out Ye Sheng and Shuode Aki who were trapped in the Bronze City.
Since the other party is completely sure, they can only choose to believe it and feel lucky.
But after Mance evacuated the Monyach from the waters, the commissioners on the ship were still concerned about the situation there.
But after a while, they were surprised to find that the company's ship that was originally staying in the waters also left the waters.
Seeing this scene, Thelma was completely puzzled: "What on earth do these guys want to do? Didn't I say that I would leave it to them? Why did they withdraw!?"...
"Maybe they are playing tricks on us... or maybe... they are preparing to use more lethal weapons, so they have to keep a safe distance." Mance said in a serious tone, "I should have thought of it... those guys In fact, the easiest way for Ye Sheng and Yaji to evacuate from above is to open a hole above the Bronze City."
"Isn't it? That's the Dragon King's palace! Who knows how strong it is? What weapons are they planning to use?"
"How do I know this?!" Mance curled his lips angrily, "That's underwater, that's fifty meters below the river bottom. How can we control the force enough to smash open the building without hurting Ye Sheng? With Aki?"
"Um...Professor...I think we should stay farther apart?"
After listening to Mance's words, Thelma suggested.
She always had a bad feeling in her heart.
On the other side, on the company ship that had evacuated from the waters above Bronze City, Yue Xiao was standing calmly on the deck, looking up at the dark sky. The rain was still pouring, but it seemed to have no effect on him at all.
"Buchou, is it really okay to leave it all to him alone?"
The employee standing aside asked hesitantly.
In fact, like the people at the academy, he couldn't figure out how their ace commissioner could rescue the two people trapped underwater.
According to the speed of the helicopter, it seems that it should be arriving soon, but until now, they have not been able to see the shadow, and the time left for the two of them underwater is less than five minutes. The most important thing is the city. There is also a giant dragon watching eagerly.
"That boy has issued a military order to me, so feel free to leave it to him. Besides...other than that, do you have any other ideas?" Yue Xiao asked helplessly.
"This... if heavy weapons are not used for underwater
It would be impossible to explode, but that would probably blow up the entire Bronze City together with the two people to be rescued. "The employee replied hesitantly, "And...do we really need to destroy such a precious relic for two people? This is excellent research material. At present, we in China still don't know enough about everything about the Dragon Clan. This place Not only is the city made of ready-made materials, it even has a living dragon inside..."
"Hmph, so what?" Yue Xiao snorted, interrupting his subordinate's speech, his tone full of disdain, "Dragon clan? What does the legacy of a group of reptiles have to do with me, humans? If it is destroyed, it will be destroyed, not rare. Just take a good look... Their era has long been history, so what if they wake up now?"
With that said, Yue Xiao once again moved his gaze to the deep night sky.
Although he couldn't see it, his instinct told him that the boy was already here.
············
Underwater, in the Bronze City.
In the dark water, a deep and huge black shadow moved slowly upward.
The king has been sleeping for a thousand years, and he has been sleeping with him here for a thousand years, but the thousands of years have not made him dull. The golden color in his eyes stretches in the water, reflecting on the armor-like scales that make him It exudes a dim light, like a work of art.
If the body moving slowly in the water is seen by the world, they will definitely lament the partiality of the Creator. There is such a perfect creature in this world. ….
It's not that he moves slowly, but because he is currently in the palace left by the king. The entire palace is in operation at the moment. The place he wants to go to has been blocked after the intruder passed by just now. He has to wait if he wants to catch up. The mechanism must be opened again to pass.
He didn't need to worry, firstly because there was a dead end over there and the two intruders were already dead in the urn, and secondly because ministers should maintain proper etiquette in the king's palace, even if the king he served was still sleeping at this moment.
He will kill the two foolish humans who wanted to take away the sleeping king but got lost in the palace and entered a dead end, and respectfully send the sleeping king back to the place of sleep again.
Bang——
The sound of the huge bronze wall rubbing was heard, and the originally closed road opened again behind Ye Sheng and Shuode Aki.
Perhaps it was because the city had been changing and there was always such a voice behind them. The two of them did not turn around to check the situation, so they did not see a pair of huge golden eyes like lanterns emerging from the darkness.
But as the golden color slowly approached, they gradually realized something was wrong.
The surrounding environment seemed to become a little brighter, but this did not make the two feel at ease, but made them feel shrouded in a darkness deeper than the cold river water.
Finally, the two looked back.
They saw the giant dragon slowly opening its huge mouth with sharp teeth and letting out an angry roar.
Roar--
The low roar of the dragon echoed throughout the palace.
The deafening sound made the two of them freeze on the spot. There was already a dead end here and there was nowhere to escape. But even if they had, they seemed to have forgotten to escape. The blood in their bodies was pulling them, making them want to kneel down. , wanting to kowtow, an indescribable sense of admiration washed over their minds.
It was obvious that even if the dragons in front of them were not the supreme ones in legend, they were much nobler than their bloodline.
But facing such an existence, they had no joy in their hearts, only fear.
Worship comes from blood rather than heart. They are humans, and the existence in front of them is a dragon, a mortal enemy.
"Ye Sheng...we..."
Jiudoku Aki looked at Ye Sheng, and Ye Sheng happened to be looking at her at the moment.
Both of them saw only one thing in each other's eyes - despair.
············
"Executive Officer Sun, the target has awakened, we may be late."
After the employee driving the armed helicopter cut off the communication from the ship, he said with some regret, "Even if I send you to the ship now to change your equipment, you will probably only be able to collect the bodies of two students from the academy."
"No, there's more
Chance. "
Sun Haoran looked at the sky through the helicopter window and said calmly, "Don't go down, go up."
"Huh?" The driver didn't seem to understand and made a confused voice.
"Stop talking nonsense and follow my orders. The minister should have told you all to cooperate with my actions."
Sun Haoran urged without explaining.
"clear."
Although a little confused, the pilot obeyed the order and began to increase the height of the helicopter.
4,000 meters... 5,000 meters... 6,000 meters... This is already the limit height of ordinary armed helicopters, but it is not the limit of this helicopter transformed from a bunker.
"Do you still want to be promoted? Executive Officer Sun, what exactly do you want to do?"
The driver's mind was filled with doubts.
To be honest, he didn't understand what this man wanted to do. Aren't they going to rescue people? Why go up? ? Isn't this the opposite?
"The most important thing for a soldier is to obey orders. You don't need to know the reason."
While looking at the time on his watch, Sun Haoran pointed upward and said calmly, "There is still time, keep rising."
Soon, a little light shone through the cabin windows, and they had passed through the dark clouds and saw dawn.
Get moving
