Act Fifteen The Solitary Throne
|end|尽头
The door was covered with all kinds of complicated but meaningless patterns. It seemed that the owner only liked the European style very much. But how could the Dragon King understand the European style? Another explanation was that the European decorative style had been passed down from the Dragon King.
"Anyway, it's a research on the dragon race's genetic system. If you're not in a hurry to do something else, you can take a few photos and write a thesis.”The man stared at the patterns with interest.
"How do we get in?" he asked the person on the other end of the communication cable.
"Don't you know how to use it?”After a long time, the answer was accompanied by a lot of noise, and the earpiece quickly fell silent again. The man frowned. He didn't swim too far, so it didn't make sense that it would take a long time for sound to travel.
He didn't know how to use this key. The gate was open when the King of Ocean and Water was awakening. If the academy knew that the Dragon King was coming out, they would never send students to dive. Then there wouldn't be so many things. Last time, Henkel dived into the water and opened the door. He didn't tell him how he did it. He only said," That method can only be used once." He didn't ask much, but it was obvious that they had alerted the Dragon Servant. Perhaps the method of opening it was wrong.
The groove of the key was filled with his frozen blood. Although his index finger that was exposed to the ice water was numb from the cold, the blood should not have frozen so quickly. The man did not care much. There was not even a keyhole in this broken door, so he could only try all kinds of methods.
He had stolen the key from the ice cellar in the academy headquarters, the only trophy from that operation.
The man looked at the area illuminated by the light and slapped the key on it.
"Yay, yay, yay?" The man passed through the wall like a Taoist priest from Mount Lao and fell in.
"What the f * ck!" The man cursed. He stood up, shook his head, and looked at his palm. The key quickly melted into a puddle of liquid as if it was being roasted by fire. It flowed down the man's fingers and dripped onto the floor.
There was…no water around? The man was stunned. No wonder he fell down just now. The man turned off the oxygen valve and carefully took off his helmet.
No problem, the air can be breathed…What's going on? The man really wanted to pull someone over to look at each other…He turned on the probe light on his helmet, which had automatically turned off when he took it off. The warm yellow light instantly pierced through the darkness, and the probe light returned to its 20-meter range. The corridor clearly appeared in his sight.
The corridor was about ten meters wide, and the walls were empty. Under the illumination of the lights, they shone with a faint luster. The man took out his folding knife and was about to walk forward when he suddenly thought of something and his expression changed. The man quickly turned around and shone the light on the tightly shut door. There were two twisted human faces carved on the door, which looked especially ferocious under the light. The black communication cable was stuck in the gap of the door. The man pulled it and the broken end fell out.
This meant that if there was no other exit to this palace, he would not be able to leave.
The man gritted his teeth. What kind of lousy setting was this? Could it be that the creatures that had entered this palace before had no intention of leaving? There had better be another exit, otherwise…
The man trembled and suddenly saw clearly. The two human faces were biting ice swords. It was a living spirit. Could it be that the way out was to bleed? His bloodline wasn't top-notch, so he definitely wouldn't be able to swim out even if he didn't die.
"Tsk." The man simply did not care and walked in first. Perhaps he would find a way in the process.
"Go? What chess?" Lu Mingfei asked warily.
"Any game is fine." Sia laughed." Do you think I'll lose?”
Lu Mingfei sat back down on the sofa. The sofa was quite long, and Lu Mingze was leaning against the sofa's elbow on the other end, looking at Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei knew that Lu Mingze was there, so he felt a little more confident. It was the wound on his left shoulder that made him grimace in pain, and his aura instantly disappeared. Sia glanced at him. With a slight movement of her hand, his entire wound was immediately frozen.
What a strange bandaging method! At least he was no longer bleeding…Peat's entire left arm was numb! Lu Mingfei didn't dare to say anything. He glared at Sia with his three white eyes.
"Why do you want to play chess with me? I'm just a piece of trash.”Lu Mingfei still didn't understand. Could it be that this girl loved to abuse people?
"I like to let my prey know everything before they die.”Sia smiled.
Lu Mingfei was shocked. As expected, it was more cost-effective to escape. Should he escape? But this little girl can catch me at any time, right? Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that he had been preoccupied. His impression of Sia was still stuck at the pitiful look she had on her face during the competition at the beginning of the semester. He had completely forgotten that she was the Dragon King!
Sia sat there lazily, her eyebrows raised slightly, and her eyes were cold. How was this a soft girl! This was the aura of a sovereign!
Although he felt that something was a little strange…
Lu Mingfei glanced at the little devil, and Lu Mingze yawned. He didn't seem to have any intention of getting involved. Seeing him like this, Lu Mingfei really wanted to shout," Alright, alright, I'll give you my life. Help me settle it…"
"Gomoku then." Lu Mingfei asked tentatively.
"Gomoku?" Sia frowned." That's fine, but you'll die very quickly.”
Lu Mingfei quickly sat down and racked his brains. What was the name of the game that was placed on the street, watched by a circle of people, and played for two hours? In the end, the two old men stood up and bowed to each other when the sky turned dark.
" Go, Chinese chess, international chess, backgammon..." Sia paused for a moment." Or military chess, Chinese checkers, or something else.”
" Yes, yes, yes, right there." Lu Mingfei hit his head with his right hand." Xiangqi."”
Sia placed her hand on the table, and the water vapor quickly condensed into a neat oblate. Lines appeared along the table.
"Alright." Sia withdrew her hand with a smile." Do you choose the black side or the red side?”
Is there a difference between red and black ice cubes? Lu Mingfei complained in his heart.
"In other words, is he handsome or is he a general?”
" Gulp, gulp, gulp..." The surface of the water, which had been calm all this while, began to bubble. After a while, the ripples on the surface of the water became bigger and bigger. Xia Mi's head suddenly popped out of the water's surface and spat out the ice water he had drunk." Pui, pui, where is this?!"”
Chu Zihang also floated up. He first pushed Xia Mi up before he emerged from the water. He looked around and frowned." We're in... a pool, and this pool is in a huge room.”
Not long after the cave was filled with water, there was a big gap. Behind it was a large area of water. They were directly washed into the water and immediately floated up to avoid suffocation. However, Xia Mi had drunk a lot of water and was already dizzy.
"They look a little alike. The pool was big enough, about seventy to eighty meters wide.”Xia Mi took a deep breath and slowly swam to the edge of the pool. It was still freezing cold water. They were at the edge of the pool, which was in the middle of a room. The room was very bright, but there was no light source. The walls were white, and it was so pure that it made people panic.
Chu Zihang buried his head in the water again. After a while, he surfaced and said," There's a big hole at the bottom of the pool. We came out from there."”
"But it's very strange. From the situation in that cave, the water should have gathered here because I looked around and there was no other exit. However, the water seemed to have been swallowed by a black hole when it reached here.”Chu Zihang frowned.
"What lousy road!" Xia Mi swam to the side of the pool and leaned against the pool. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Suddenly, she looked at Chu Zihang pitifully." I'm really sorry that the road I led was terrible!”
Chu Zihang was also swimming to the side of the pool. He, who had been silently thinking about the problem, suddenly said," It's a little bad."”
"Eh?" Xia Mi followed Chu Zihang's gaze and turned to look at the shore.
Layers of black shadows appeared around the room silently and slowly approached. There were no signs of their feet moving at all. They floated over like ghosts, and there were no shadows on the ground.
"Deadpool." Chu Zihang said in a low voice," It looks like they've been waiting for us for a long time.”
|waste|废物
Sia moved the cannon one step ahead.
Lu Mingfei's heart skipped a beat. It was obvious that he was a veteran! A rookie like him was indeed someone to be trampled on!
Lu Mingfei didn't dare to make a move at the moment. He pretended to be an old monk in meditation. Sia glanced at him and said,"Hurry up, you're wasting too much time. I can't guarantee that Senior Sister won't bleed to death.”
Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth and reached out to grab his pawn. The moment he touched the chess piece, he gasped. As expected, it was made of ice. The chill ran through his pores and into his bones. Lu Mingfei wanted to pick it up and throw it away, but the chess piece did not move at all, as if it was stuck to the chessboard.
Lu Mingfei looked up at Sia. Sia was expressionless, but there was a hidden smile in her eyes. The corner of Lu Mingfei's eyes twitched.
"Here." Lu Mingze suddenly handed her a knife. Lu Mingfei was shocked." Where did you get this knife? Do I have to cut the chess pieces off the chessboard to play?”
"Haven't you heard of the nickname of the King of Ocean and Water?”Lu Mingze's tone was lazy.
"If you want to play this kind of chess, you need to use blood.”Sia said calmly," You already know who I am, right? I am the King of Ocean and Water. I have another name among the dragons, the King of Blood and Ice. I'm Aijil, nice to meet you."
Lucky your head! Lu Mingfei muttered in his heart. The two of them echoed each other. One of them handed over a saber while the other forced him to bleed. At this moment, the little devil seemed to be on the Dragon King's side. Lu Mingfei turned to look at Lu Mingze, who spread his hands.
"Normally, dragons obtain power by devouring their own kind. My perfect control over blood allows me to directly absorb power from blood, so I'm used to putting a little restriction on everything.”Aiji smiled slightly." That's why you have to drip blood all over the chess piece before you can pick it up, Senior Brother!”
Don't call me senior brother! Lu Mingfei cursed under his breath.'I don't know you. What weird habit are you talking about? Are you willing to watch others bleed?' If you want to see a mobile blood donation vehicle, go ahead. Lu Mingfei carefully cut his finger with a knife and pressed it against the soldier. As soon as he pressed it, Lu Mingfei felt that something was wrong. Of course, it was cold, but there was a feeling that something was pulling his blood out. This chess piece…was sucking his blood!
The blood quickly seeped into the chess piece, and the chess piece slowly turned from a faint crimson to a bright red. Lu Mingfei felt his fingers loosen, and he quickly pulled out his hand to hold it down. He glared at Aiji." Didn't you say a drop of blood?!"”
Aiji didn't answer him. She just stared at him. Lu Mingfei suddenly felt that he was stupid…
Lu Mingfei simply ignored her. Since he met Jill, he had been led by the nose by Sia. He wanted to escape but couldn't, so he could only do as she said. However, he had a strange feeling that Jill was a little strange. He just couldn't tell what was strange about it.
Lu Mingfei took a step forward.
The bright red color quickly faded after the pawn was placed. Lu Mingfei was stunned. Not good…Lu Mingfei quickly tried to pick up the pawn, and sure enough, it stuck to the chessboard again. "Every move of a chess piece must be like this.”
"You, you, you…Where did you take my blood?”Lu Mingfei was shocked.
"If you keep taking meaningless steps, you might die of blood loss. If you played too quickly and lost, you would still die. If you played too slowly…Nono would die.”Aiji knocked her head." Why is there such a complicated matter?"”
Didn't you set the rules? If I had known that I would choose Gomoku, I would have died earlier! Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes and couldn't help but say," Hey, Miss, are you a psychopath?”
Aijil was stunned. She suddenly fell silent and smiled coldly.
"If you were ignored for thousands of years and called trash by everyone, wouldn't you work hard to prove yourself? Don't you have any thoughts of torturing those who look down on you?”
"The high and mighty you naturally won't have that kind of feeling. Of course you won't understand!”Aijil spat out a few words fiercely and suddenly fell silent again.
Lu Mingfei stared at Aiji for a long time and suddenly sighed.
It sounded like…the life experiences of the Dragon King and this loser were actually the same.
He didn't know how Aijil would explain neglect, but in Lu Mingfei's dictionary, neglect was dispensable.
He had been a loveless kid for the past 18 years. He was used to being loveless. If he suddenly had a chance to show off in front of everyone, how could he not be excited?
Sometimes, when she thought about those scenes, she wished she could record them and hang a player on her body to play them on loop every day…
However, even though he sounded so awesome at Kassel Academy, he was still a good-for-nothing that everyone could trample on. Boss had accepted him into the Student Union purely because of the bloodline rating. Zero had chosen him as her dance partner, so she probably treated him as a background. He had worked so hard for two Dragon Kings, and the big red flower had belonged to Caesar and Chu Zihang…
He had been like this for 18 years. It would not matter if he was down for more than half a lifetime. What was the use of having a flash in the pan?
The child wanted to prove himself to the adults and tried his best to make the adults happy, but the adults thought that the child was just throwing a tantrum. Now he wanted to prove that his idea was equally stupid. Who would care about your name and where you lived? If you pole danced on the flag-raising platform, they might not be interested in knowing you.
After being ignored for a long time, he would get used to it.
"Compared to Chinese chess, I prefer Go.”Aiji pushed the soldiers forward and ate Lu Mingfei's horse.
What the hell do you like to do with me! Lu Mingfei cursed in his heart. If it was Go, how much blood would I have to bleed?
Even so, Lu Mingfei's face was already a little pale after nearly twenty moves. However, Nono's safety urged him to hurry up and win.
"I've been planning this since a long time ago. I like to see my prey sink into it unknowingly. When they realize it in horror, it's all too late.”Aijil leisurely waited for Lu Mingfei to make his next move.
Lu Mingfei stared at the chessboard for a long time without making a move. If he moved, he would die. If he moved, he would die…
"You look like…you don't remember at all. Back then, you beat me thirteen times in a row, and now even your Go skills have deteriorated.”Aijil frowned and sized up Lu Mingfei." Fine, it doesn't matter if I say it again. You'll die soon anyway."”
" My brother, Niord, and I are the kings of the sea and water." Aijil leaned back on the sofa." The Dark King gave us the mission to lead our people out of the Land of the Undead.”
"In layman's terms, this is why those despicable hybrids couldn't kill the Dragon King. It's naturally easier for them to arrange the eggs themselves. No one knows where they are, not even me. They're in a lot less danger. The Dragon King can easily break each other's eggs.”
"We love each other, but we have to prevent each other from eating our own kind to obtain strength. How sad.”A trace of sadness appeared on Aijil's face.
"If they can't construct the egg in time for some reason…it's our problem.”Aijil said softly.
"We will find a suitable mixed-blood and brand them with Odin's Mark. When their bloodline exceeds the limit, their personality will die, and the Dragon King's spirit sealed in the mark will awaken.”
In that case, the Dragon King was not killed in vain! This heaven-defying resurrection skill of yours!
"It's just their spirit…After all, they have human bodies, and their bloodline isn't pure enough. If they want to recover their full strength, they can only hatch from the eggs themselves.”
Lu Mingfei didn't even bother to complain anymore…So you're saying that we have to kill all the hybrids to stop the Dragon King from resurrecting?
"We are the only gatekeepers of the Gate of the Dead. If my brother and I die at the same time, no one can save us. If they die, no one will save them. Therefore, although we can't release too high-level spirits, all the dragon kings have to protect us unconditionally.”
No high-level speech spirit? " You didn't study hard enough as a Dragon King, did you?" Lu Mingfei's rotten soul was burning.
He was now trapped here and was ready to bleed at any time. No one would come to save him. What else could he do if he did not complain?
"There's a way to release it…we'll only use it when we're in despair.”Aijil's eyes were empty. She didn't urge Lu Mingfei to hurry up and log off, as if she had fallen into a deep memory. "I'm ready to use it now."
"The world is so beautiful, why are you so irritable…Sigh, sigh, sigh? Are you going to release a world-destroying spirit?!" Lu Mingfei tensed up. He knew that the little devil was up to no good! As expected, they were waiting to collect money!
"In the clan, strength is the only thing that can be acknowledged by others. We are ostracized in the clan…So what if we are their only hope of resurrection? When they don't need you, they call you trash. They work hard to restore the Dragon Clan's status, but you don't do anything.”
"It's fine if other people are like this…but my brother is like this too…Doesn't he understand me?”Aijil's eyes suddenly turned extremely cold.
|love and hate|爱与恨
Absolute oppression.
" Thump, thump, thump…" The heartbeat became faster and faster, and the air was so tense that it seemed like it was going to break.
The dense black shadows rushed in from the door of the room, like a quiet wave of death, as if they would suddenly appear and ruthlessly slap the two tiny figures in the middle in the next second.
Chu Zihang and Xia Mi slowly retreated and stood by the pool. It was impossible to return from the original path. They could only kill their way out from between them!
Chu Zihang silently revealed Muramasa. The blade flashed with a cold light as it spread out on the water. Xia Mi's lips moved. He wanted to say something, but he held it back.
"There are hundreds of them, right? There were so many mixed-bloods whose bloodlines exceeded the limit?”Chu Zihang asked softly.
"They should be ordinary people who have been contaminated by the blood of a high-level dragon bloodline from an unknown source.”" The King of Ocean and Water can do it," said Xia Mi.”
"It sounds like we've broken into the lair of the King of Ocean and Water.”Chu Zihang said," Bloodline contamination. It sounds like he's very good at spreading viruses.”
"Although they're ordinary people, they can't be saved. There's no need to worry.”
"I didn't plan to save him in the first place." Chu Zihang said lightly.
Xia Mi was stunned and glanced at Chu Zihang. Chu Zihang silently held the knife and stood by the pool. His muscles were tense, and his wet shirt had been dried by the high body temperature. He stood there, not so much like a wolf that was ready to attack the enemy at any time, but more like... a god of death who reaped everything!
When gods were fighting, would they care about the lives of mortals?
Every time Chu Zihang did a mission, there would be casualties. Did he care about those who were affected by his spiritual words? What would happen to their families in the future? Would their children cry on rainy days?
It was getting more and more obvious. Chu Zihang's body was as intense as the flames, and it was filled with a violent aura!
Xia Mi stole a glance at the dark red mark on Chu Zihang's back that was the size of a round birthmark. He did not know when it had started to turn black, and the strange wood-like pattern in the middle of the coat of arms was about to wither.
I'm sorry. I want to live with you. Forgive me.
The thin blade mercilessly cut through the flesh and bones. The wind driven by the spirit of words followed closely behind and ruthlessly tore the enemy apart. Black blood splashed on Chu Zihang's face like ink. Chu Zihang wiped it away without care. His bright golden eyes that were about to melt burned fiercely.
The blade, which was nearly a meter long, was covered in sticky blood. It trembled slightly in excitement. Chu Zihang heaved a sigh of relief and pulled the corpse closest to him. He expressionlessly tore off half of his black robe and wiped it on the blade. After all, he was not a real Deadpool. He was just an ordinary person who had borrowed that kind of power. His physical body had not been completely destroyed. He really did not understand why he had to wear a black robe. Was it a bad taste?
"If he was wearing human clothes, I would think it was Resident Evil. "Xia Mi smiled. Even though releasing the Spirit of Words for a long time doesn't exhaust my mental power, I'm still a little tired. She did not have much blood on her body. The wind pressure created by the Wind King's Eye was enough to expel everything in the area.
"But it's a little like Plants vs Zombies now. There are waves after waves. I wonder where I can buy a corn cannon?”Xia Mi was still joking. She wanted to prank him.'I've brought her to you. Are you trying to play me to death?'
"The new wave…has arrived." Chu Zihang stood up. Black shadows were still pouring in from outside the door. He was already numb from the killing. He wondered if Caesar felt the same when facing the overwhelming mausoleum.
The black shadow stepped on the corpses of his fallen comrades and slowly advanced. Apart from the fact that there were no Deadpool in the water, the corpses were densely packed on the ground with Chu Zihang and Xia Mi as the radius.
"It's very troublesome." Chu Zihang whispered. He suddenly began to recite the dragon characters in a deep voice. A strange fluctuation quickly spread in the room, and the space in the domain quickly rose. The calm water surface shook and quickly rippled. Bubbles appeared, and a large amount of white mist rose. Green scales flickered under Chu Zihang's skin.
Xia Mi's expression changed. He grabbed a broken arm and threw it at Chu Zihang's face.
God... God's turn... Chu Zihang was beaten silly, and his voice was forcefully interrupted. Although he was a master at changing words, how could there be so many changes in reality? He looked at Xia Mi and was suddenly stunned. Xia Mi's little face was red with anger as he stared at him.
"No! Did you hear that? I won't allow you to lose any more HP!”Xia Mi gritted his teeth." Do you know that you're gambling with your life every time you lose HP?!”
"I know, but HP is very useful. Many times, if I don't HP, I will die.”Chu Zihang said expressionlessly. The two of them directly ignored Deadpool, who was charging at them aggressively. "I am a knife. The best way to maintain a knife is to use it constantly.”
Xia Mi stared at him silently. "I really don't know why I risked my life to protect you.”
"Now I've changed my mind." Xia Mi snatched Chu Zihang's knife and cut open his palm. He stretched out his hand and pulled Chu Zihang forward, letting the blood flow onto the corpse. The black shadows that surrounded them all retreated to the side and bent down as if they were bowing.
Chu Zihang stared at Xia Mi silently, and his eyes slowly turned cold.
"Don't look at me. They're not worshipping me, they're worshipping their master.”Xia Mi turned to look at Chu Zihang." Do you still believe me?”
"I don't know." Chu Zihang whispered.
Lu Mingfei felt like a caring big sister on a midnight show…But which big sister would go to the snowy mountain to listen to the Dragon King's complaints?
To be honest, he felt that Aijil was also quite bitter. She had always been despised by her own kind who valued strength above all else. She also needed a nanny to clear the dungeon! Fine, it was fine if he was despised by a warrior…but what was the point of being despised by his brother, who was also a healer! Moreover, it sounded like he had been abused and badmouthed by his older brother since he was young. Actually, when he thought about how pitiful Lu Mingze looked when he begged him to take the blame for him, Lu Mingfei felt that he should be a little happier…
Based on the hundreds of episodes of Today's Report that Lu Mingfei had watched, he could roughly understand that there were many people who had been abused and despised since they were young who would become psychopaths when they grew up…He really didn't expect dragons to have the same inner world as human children.
As for the reason why she wanted to release Yan Ling, it was to prove to her brother.
She also said that she hated her brother. She didn't care about other people's comments, but she couldn't stand the fact that the person closest to her and the only person she could rely on treated her like this. Was it love that gave birth to hate? Lu Mingfei wanted to say.
He suddenly remembered the story of the White King's death that Nono had told him. The White King betrayed the Dark King, and the Dark King hated her but also loved her. Therefore, after killing her and swallowing her, he had to travel up and down the frozen sea seven times to mourn. Nono's eyes were blurred when she said this. She said that power would destroy many things, but what really destroyed everything was love.
What was Lu Mingfei doing at that time? He was smelling the fragrance of shampoo on Nono's head…He sat opposite Nono, and Nono was drawing the key points for him. At that time, he had completely forgotten about the upcoming final exams. He looked at the silver pendant swaying beside Nono's ear. The sun was shining on the book, and he only wanted more afternoons like this.
Even though the two of them seemed to be close at hand, they were actually out of reach. When Nono said love, she was thinking of Caesar, right?
But he still wanted to be by her side, that was all.
Lu Mingfei was obviously in a daze, and Aijil couldn't be bothered to continue. She sat on the sofa in a daze. She said that she wanted to wait for everyone to arrive, but she didn't let Lu Mingfei go even though she hadn't finished playing chess. Lu Mingfei was worried about Nono, but he didn't dare to say anything. With Miss Aijil's psychopath, who knew what would happen if he acted rashly. Actually, he thought that it would be good if the little devil could disguise herself and help him substitute…but now, the little devil was also sitting there in a daze, looking like she was waiting for someone. Lu Mingfei looked at the little devil's slightly melancholic side profile and suddenly had a thought.
"Will you kill the King of Ocean and Water?”Without waiting for Lu Mingfei to speak, Lu Mingze suddenly came back to his senses and turned to ask Lu Mingfei. His small face was serious and confused.
"What?" Lu Mingfei was stunned.
" Brother…" the little devil said slowly." If he dies, everything will be irreparable.”
Lu Mingfei was about to ask more when the person on the sofa suddenly stood up and looked at Lu Mingfei." They're here."”
|baiwang|白王
Lu Mingfei followed Aijil's gaze and suddenly understood the person's joy when he wrote " Meeting an Old Friend in a Foreign Land "…
If it wasn't for Sister Xia Mi following Senior Brother Sha Pei, he would have pounced over and hugged Senior Brother Sha Pei, beating his chest and crying," What took you so long, you damn ghost?"
However, his senior brother was covered in blood. He was obviously not in a good state, and he did not look too good either. Xia Mi followed him, and her little face was as paralyzed as Chu Zihang's. Could it be that they had quarreled? The two of you should put the overall situation first!
" Clap!" Aiji clapped her hands. The crisp sound of her clapping echoed in the tall palace. Lu Mingfei was stunned. He had almost forgotten that this woman was still here.
"It doesn't matter if you're you or not, you're still so powerful. Jermungander." Aiji bowed slightly and stared at Chu Zihang's face with interest. "How's the memory awakening going? Do you still need me to help you remember?"
Xia Mi's expression became even uglier. She said softly," He hasn't woken up... He's still Chu Zihang.”
Chu Zihang was obviously stunned and moved away from Xia Mi. Aiji's smile also froze on her face. After a long while, she chuckled." You still can't bear to part with me, huh?"
Lu Mingfei's entire body went numb. It was the first time he had heard someone laugh like that, and it was coming from the mouth of the Dragon King, who had the aura of a queen but the appearance of a soft girl. It was as strange as it could be, like the miserable laughter of a demon from hell through the cracks in the ground.
Aijil turned her head and glanced at Lu Mingfei. She said apologetically," I was going to solve your problem now, but I'll have to wait a while."
Lu Mingfei glared at Aiji and suddenly felt that something was wrong…his eyes! It was the eyes! He suddenly remembered that Aiji had been talking to him for so long. Her eyes were always black, but now a golden light rose from the bottom of her deep pupils and fused into them.
Was she ready to fight now?
Aiji walked toward Chu Zihang and stopped five steps away from him. She was talking to Xia Mi,"It's not a good habit to switch sides at the last minute ~"
" I..." Xia Mi was a little hesitant, and Aiji just looked at her indifferently.
Sharmie suddenly squatted down and spat out a mouthful of blood. There were even red beads of blood at the corner of his eyes. Aijil retracted her gaze in time and smiled." Have you forgotten what you rely on to survive?”
Chu Zihang was stunned. The anger in his brows slowly turned into a trace of doubt. He glanced at Xia Mi, who was sitting on the ground in spasms. Her clothes, which were not dirtied after killing so many Death Servants, were dyed red by her own blood.
" No... I didn't say anything..." Xia Mi said weakly.
"Oh? There were so many Deadpool, and Senior managed to get through them with just a demon sword made from alchemy without losing HP?”Aiji had a faint smile on her face and even called him senior. Chu Zihang didn't really know this girl who was still wearing her school uniform. He just felt that she was an enemy.
"You actually have to introduce yourself again…how troublesome.”Aiji stood up straight and looked at Chu Zihang." I am the King of Ocean and Water, Aiji. Nice to meet you."”
Naturally, Chu Zihang ignored Aiji's outstretched hand. He just looked at her indifferently and didn't even care about Xia Mi, who was still sitting on the ground. He couldn't be blamed for this. The most important thing to do when facing an enemy was to focus. It was even more important when facing a Dragon King. Otherwise, if Chu Zihang didn't manage to catch a move from the King of Earth and Mountain, he would have been over.
Lu Mingfei felt that if Yemengard hadn't said so many goodbyes to Chu Zihang, Chu Zihang wouldn't have had the chance to fight back. They would have died there.
But now, she was facing a rare good-for-nothing Dragon King Aijil…Lu Mingfei wanted to shout for his senior brother to kill her with 800 horsepower!
Chu Zihang stared at her without saying a word. Aiji sighed and said softly," Actually, I wanted to say hello like this... Welcome back, Norton.”
Lu Mingfei felt as if the entire world was spinning…F * ck! All of them were Dragon Kings! Then, he would set Caesar as the King of the Sky and Wind, and Nono as the White King, and he would be able to publish a book! The title of the book would be " The Adventures of the Little White Rabbit in the Dragon's Nest "…
Aijil didn't explain much to the people with different expressions. She turned around and walked back to the sofa. She casually condensed a cup on the table. The bright red blood seeped into the cup from the wall of the cup and slowly gathered into a cup. Aiji picked it up and toasted Lu Mingfei."Thank you for the blood ~"
Aijil drank it all.
Lu Mingfei's hair stood on end. He watched helplessly as his blood flowed into Aiji's throat. He felt an indescribable horror. After all this time, this girl was actually a vampire!
Aiji crushed the cup and licked the remaining blood at the corner of her mouth. The strange aura made her look like a bloodthirsty Countess.
"Have I ever told you that we draw power from our blood? " Especially the blood of a high-blood lineage…Actually, I couldn't even transform into a dragon…" Aijil roared. Her scales grew rapidly, and her facial bones protruded. Sharp claws replaced her nails. She instantly turned into a ferocious ghost!
The man held his helmet and walked slowly down the corridor. The walls on both sides of the corridor began to show faint embossed. There were fine jade powder on the ground. It was obvious that they had been lightly chiseled a few times, and only a rough outline was carved.
"Hasn't it been completed yet?" The man glanced at it and then walked forward. After a long time, he saw that the details were slowly carved out. The man rubbed the pattern on the wall and took a few steps back. He looked up at the entire embossed and suddenly felt that it was a little familiar.
The dragon spread its wings under the ancient tree, and white bones covered the ground. The clouds in the sky were frozen and lifeless. They looked as heavy as iron on the relief embossed.
The man frowned. This scene…The man suddenly remembered.
It was the Dark Dragon King, Nidhogg!
The man was a little surprised to recognize the dead World Tree. Although Nidhogg's appearance did not mean that this was his palace, the man still raised his vigilance out of reflex.
These embossed…who carved them? The man raised his head. This embossed was about seven meters tall and ten meters long. There should be more in front of him. The man continued walking forward.
The second picture was of two dragons circling in the air. This one was obviously different from the previous one. The background was abstracted, and the dragons were simplified. If it weren't for the wings and claws, he might have mistaken them for two snakes. The man narrowed his eyes and looked at them for a long time. He really could not determine which two dragons they were. He casually touched the clouds around the dragons and suddenly some fragments fell.
The man was stunned. He wiped the place where he had touched the crumbs clean, revealing a capital letter "N" engraved on the embossed. He used a lot of strength to carve it, and he repeatedly scratched it a few times. For some reason, he grabbed a handful of powder from the ground and mixed it with water or something else to paste it on it. If he didn't look carefully, he wouldn't be able to tell.
N? Was he representing Nidhogg? The man was a little stunned. This letter was obviously not carved by the sculptor, so it could only be... someone from the academy ten years ago!
The man suddenly rubbed the relief embossed beside the other dragon with his hand. After a while, the man found another mark. This mark was very shallow. It was the word 'Tianchao' and it was written in a very beautiful font.
"White King."
|secret|秘密
The man was a little stunned. He looked at the White King in the painting and wanted to find some details. However, it was too abstract. Other than the appearance of a dragon, he could not see any other characteristics. How could the academy determine that it was the White King? The man scratched his head and took a few more steps forward, standing in front of the third embossed.
The third painting was a little more detailed, but it was still impressionistic. In the middle, there was a dragon with its head raised. The dragon under his feet had its head lowered and its wings spread out. There were four eggs around it, three of which were carved with complicated patterns.
Where did he learn impressionism from? The man cursed in his heart. This was too abstract. Three of the four eggs looked exactly the same…The man stared at the smooth egg without any patterns on the top right corner. He felt that this was not a symmetrical beauty. Seriously, he should learn from the Forbidden City! The plan was axis-symmetrical…
The man was about to look at the next picture when he suddenly froze. He felt that there was something strange about the picture. It seemed to be a problem with the lighting…The man suddenly saw clearly that someone had hurriedly chiseled a rectangular shape at the empty space under the dragon's feet. There was even an English word " Death " engraved on it.
The academy did it again? The man frowned. Those four eggs should represent the four kings, but what does this represent?
The fourth painting was still as abstract as before. A dragon was tied to a pillar with its head held high, and another dragon was circling in the sky, looking at it.
The man was very familiar with this scene. When he was flipping through the academy's database, he had read many ancient books that described the White King being tied to a bronze pillar in the frozen sea for several years when he died. The man suddenly understood why the dragon in the second painting could be judged as the White King. It was very strange. There were clearly no characteristics, but this one looked the same as that one.
The man found the number "7" on the pillar. Maybe he wants me to look at the seventh painting directly? The man was stunned for a moment. He counted and walked forward for a while before stopping in front of the seventh painting.
The man suddenly felt a chill. It was almost the same scene, but it was replaced by the realistic style of the first painting. The pillars stood tall in the sea, and the loose iron chains were empty.
There was nothing tied there. A splash of water in the sea gradually disappeared.
What was this embossed trying to express?
Did the White King escape?
The bronze pillar was engraved with strange patterns, the sky was covered with rolling black clouds, and the sea was rippling…The man stared at every inch of the scene, trying to find something.
There was nothing left on this painting. The man searched carefully again and walked to the next painting with confusion. He was stunned.
It was still a realistic style. The Dark King who was dying thousands of years ago.
Thousands of people climbed up the mountain covered in bones, stabbing the dragon lying on the top of the mountain with their weapons. Blood splashed into the air, and the World Tree behind them was like a giant claw of a monster stretching out from hell.
The man looked at the Dark King's eyes that were not closed. An indescribable strange feeling was like a slippery snake that wrapped around the man's heart. The man quickly looked away and searched the lower part of the painting. Sure enough, there was a mark. It was a square with the word " Death " carved in the middle.
It seemed that they were in a hurry to leave, and they even carved a few faint marks.
The man took the helmet and scanned it a few times. The one in front was the last one. If he walked further, he would reach the exit of the corridor. The man walked over and looked at the last picture carefully. It was still realistic, but it looked a little like a pyramid. At the bottom of the pyramid were eight dragons with their own characteristics. In the middle were two identical dragons, as if they were carved from the same mold. Above them was only a dragon.
He had seen the Dark King many times.
Could it be the summary of the slide report? The man glanced at it casually and found a few words carved very clearly. Why did he write so much? The man lowered his head to look at it carefully. It was still the Chinese character.
Sacrifice. Twins. Resurrection.
Crown Prince.
The man couldn't understand it for a moment, so he could only remember it in his heart. He wanted to see what time it was, but he was suddenly stunned. Oh no! He reflexively looked at the oxygen meter and heaved a sigh of relief. The needle had been stopped at the position where he had entered. He did not feel uncomfortable breathing the air here. However, there was a strange feeling that urged him to find her and leave this place.
The man scratched his head. He was so engrossed in the relief sculpture that he had completely forgotten what he was here to do. He looked at his helmet and was surprised to find that the light had dimmed. He did not seem to have stayed there for long. The man took a deep breath and left the relief embossed. He walked to the exit and entered the hall.
He turned the probe lamp around the hall, and his breathing suddenly became rapid. The temperature of his blood slowly dropped. He stood rooted to the ground, staring at the thing in front of him.
A real dragon.
" Two hours... is up..." The first mate reminded Henkel carefully.
The driver's seat fell silent. All 22 people on the submarine were waiting for a message from a person who was unlikely to survive. She had lost contact with Mr. KFC for more than an hour, and the last thing she saw on the camera was the key.
"Do we still have to wait?"
"Are you sure he only has enough oxygen for two hours?”Henkel asked again.
"I'm sure." the assistant in charge of equipment replied.
"Wait another twenty minutes…If he doesn't come back, then we'll leave.”Henkel said after a moment of contemplation.
"I'm a little curious. Patriarch, what exactly did you ask him to go down and help get?”
"There is…a secret hidden inside. A secret that could change the world of hybrids! We must obtain it so that after I die, the clan will not…collapse.”Henkel stared at the pitch-black screen and said slowly.
Aijil raised her head high, bared her fangs, and raised her sharp claws. She froze in midair. Lu Mingfei's mouth was wide open. He watched as Aijil stood there like a performance art. It took him a long time to realize that something was wrong. Time had stopped.
Stunned, Lu Mingfei turned to look at Lu Mingze, who smiled sweetly at him.
"Go! " What the hell are you doing…" Lu Mingfei was a little scared. Nothing good would happen once the little devil made a move.
" Some things can't be undone once they've happened…" the imp said softly." Take this time to take a good look at the two of them.”
"Who is it?" Lu Mingfei asked as he subconsciously glanced at Chu Zihang. The little devil was most likely talking about Chu Zihang and Xia Mi. He really didn't know what would happen later. Lu Mingfei was a little tempted to ask Lu Mingze to move forward a little.
"Do you think it's a potato that can be played whenever you want?”Lu Mingze looked at Lu Mingfei helplessly." Don't regret letting you go."”
"Huh?" Lu Mingfei did not have time to react. The image of Aiji's dragonification was still lingering in his eyes. By the time he reacted, Chu Zihang was already half-kneeling on the ground and slowly sliding into a pool of blood. Black blood spurted out from the broken left side of Chu Zihang's chest and gathered on the ground. Aiji stood behind him and licked her dragon claws. Lu Mingfei only blinked once, and Aiji was already sitting on the sofa again, wiping the blood off her face with a handkerchief. It was as if she had been sitting there without moving.
Instant, instant kill? Lu Mingfei was stunned. Senior Brother was so strong, how could he not react in time?
"So much blood…What a waste.”Aijil took a look at the handkerchief and threw it aside regretfully.
" Cough cough…" Lu Mingfei heard a strange sound coming from the ground. It sounded like the weak breathing of an old man who was dying.
"He attacked nearly a hundred times and his internal organs were all destroyed.”Aiji was stunned and turned to look at Chu Zihang. Lu Mingfei gasped. More than a hundred times? Aijil's speed…wasn't it a little too terrifying?
Aigil slowly stood up. Lu Mingfei suddenly felt that something was wrong, but Aigil only paused for a moment before sitting back down.
Lu Mingfei looked at Aiji's empty left hand in horror. Her left hand had now turned into a sharp claw, and it was grabbing the entire left arm of a person who was bleeding.
The scream was stuck in Lu Mingfei's throat. He couldn't scream out no matter how hard he tried. Fear gripped his heart, and his mind went blank.
Chu Zihang, who was on the ground, was completely motionless. The left half of his upper body was a bloody mess.
|selfish|自私
Really…really dead?
Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a little sad, so sad that he wanted to cry.
Lu Mingze sighed softly and said indifferently," A mere half a second can change a lot of things. In the first half a second, that guy was only heavily injured. The second one directly…"
" F * ck…" Lu Mingfei almost squeezed out the words through gritted teeth. A huge suffocating feeling was stuck in his chest. He looked at Chu Zihang's body and felt that it shouldn't be.
Senior Brother, why did you die just now? No matter what, you should kill this Dragon King before you die. Besides, if you want to die, don't you think I'm as weak as a chicken? How can you die like this…
"Brother, you…"
"Get lost!"
Lu Mingze was stunned. Lu Mingfei turned his head and stared into Lu Mingze's eyes, as if he wanted to see through the immeasurable depths of the little devil's heart. "Did you know that he would die? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Tell you? If I told you, would you trade your life with me to kill the King of Ocean and Water and save Chu Zihang?”Lu Mingze smiled strangely. Lu Mingfei stared at him, the corners of his mouth twitching, but he didn't say a word.
"You can't give me an answer, right? " You've always been a selfish person…" Lu Mingze suddenly stopped laughing. He sank into silence, and a wave of grief flooded him.
"I've always been on your side, but you've always been selfish.”
Lu Mingfei suddenly felt that these words were very familiar. He snorted and turned his head to look at Xia Mi blankly.
The girl who had always been very lively and seemed to have no shrewdness revealed her ferocious appearance in the subway and used seduction to evaluate her feelings for her senior brother. But at that time, could the attachment in her eyes really be faked? When she looked at Chu Zihang in the pool of blood, her eyes revealed deep sadness and loneliness. Was there a need to act?
According to the knowledge of the resurrection of dragons that Aijil had given him, Sharmie was originally a little human girl who liked to jump around. She became a sacrifice for the resurrection of the King of Earth and Mountain just because she was suitable. For someone like her to be crushed under the wheel of fate, she must be unwilling, right?
Actually, they also had their own feelings, right? Xia Mi would be a little sad if his senior brother died, right?
Lu Mingze said that he could have saved her, but he couldn't bear to part with his cheap life. That was the truth…He just couldn't be ruthless.
" As for you, Your Highness," Aijil smiled at Lu Mingfei." To be honest, I've never been sure that a complete loser like you is the Crown Prince. Now that I'm finally sure, let's follow the procedure."”
"There are still risks in waking up now. Come with me first.”Aiji stood up and gestured for Lu Mingfei to follow her. Lu Mingfei sat on the sofa and did not move.
"Hmm? Do you want me to carry you?" Aijil raised her eyebrows strangely. Lu Mingze had already stood up and was looking at Lu Mingfei.
"Give it to me." Lu Mingfei stretched out his hand, his voice hoarse. Aijil noticed that Lu Mingfei was talking about the useless arm in her hand. She smiled and threw it to Lu Mingfei across the table. Lu Mingfei caught it immediately. The residual warmth on his arm almost made him cry.
Lu Mingfei carefully carried him and stood up to walk towards Chu Zihang. Aiji didn't care about him. Perhaps she knew that she couldn't pose a threat at all.
Lu Mingfei knelt down beside Chu Zihang. Chu Zihang had always been expressionless, but his expression was still the same when he stood there, but he was even quieter. If it weren't for the injuries and blood, he would look like he was taking a nap in bed in the afternoon.
The joint between the arm and shoulder had been broken in half during the first attack. The second time, it was forcefully pulled off. The blood vessels and bones were exposed. Lu Mingfei couldn't bear to look at Chu Zihang, but he wanted to give it a try. He was the only one who could speak.
Lu Mingfei pressed the end of his arm against his joint and said softly,""Don't die."
Lu Mingfei waited for a while.
Nothing changed.
Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a lump in his throat. Tears flowed uncontrollably down his face and dripped onto the ground, into Chu Zihang's blood. He wanted to stand up and leave this place quickly. Lu Mingze was right. If he didn't make a deal, he would be a good-for-nothing. However, he couldn't bring himself to exchange his life for power. He only wanted to take a gamble based on his slim hope. Who did he think he was? Will the heavens listen to your prayers? Ridiculous!
"Lu Mingfei." He clearly heard someone calling him. He was stunned and quickly looked at Chu Zihang." Lu Mingfei, he's not dead yet.”
Lu Mingfei shuddered and looked at Xia Mi. Xia Mi's lips were moving very slowly, and his voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible. It looked like he didn't want Aiji to notice." His body has been tempered many times by the Blood Burst, and his heartbeat is very weak. He's just on the verge of death, so if you can come back alive later, please don't leave him behind. If he's still alive, bring him back. If he's dead... please bring his body back... It's very lonely here."”
"What about you?" Lu Mingfei was a little nervous. He tried his best to imitate Xia Mi's way of speaking, but his voice was still a little loud. Xia Mi looked like she had only vomited some blood, so it was nothing serious. However, she shook her head gently." If you can come back, I will definitely die."”
Lu Mingfei was stunned. He was about to ask what was going on when Xia Mi said in a low voice," If Zihang survives, there will be two situations... He's already on the verge of death, so it depends on his will. One is that when he wakes up, it will still be Chu Zihang. The other is that the King of Ocean and Water will sacrifice his blood. When Chu Zihang dies, the one who wakes up will be Dragon King Norton..."
Xia Mi suddenly convulsed, and blood flowed out of her mouth. She fell to the ground and clutched her throat in pain. Lu Mingfei was shocked and looked at Aiji. Aiji crossed her arms in front of her chest and smiled faintly." Are the two of you giving me parting words?" Why didn't you speak louder?"
"Gift your a * s!" Lu Mingfei said in a low, angry voice. He stood up and walked to Aiji's side.
Lu Mingfei suddenly said," Why do I feel like you've been toying with me? Tell me honestly! Demoness, where are you taking me?
"To see your dear Nono."
Lu Mingfei froze. Damn it! He had forgotten about Nono! That girl was like a salted fish that was about to be dried up. She had been bleeding for such a long time. Could it be that she was already over? F * ck, please don't do it today. There's something wrong with my cheat today…
In short, Nono, you'd better live!
Lu Mingfei suddenly calmed down.
From the beginning to the end, he was forced to experience one thing after another in a daze. He was sent to the snowy mountain by the academy to confirm that this palace was the palace of the King of Ocean and Water, but he met the Dragon King directly. He entered in confusion but did not follow Zero. He was pressed there by the sadist for half a game of chess and kept bleeding. Then, his senior brothers and sisters came and passed. Then, he was led to somewhere unknown by this woman.
From the beginning to the end, he had been led around without any choice. Wasn't he already used to this mode? He was still struggling? Did he really think that his meaningless resistance could change anything?
If he did not use his life to exchange for power, he would be a useless piece of trash.
Aiji walked to the huge crystal wall and lightly tapped on it. The spider-web pattern quickly spread on the surface of the crystal. A moment later, a crisp crack came from somewhere, and the entire crystal wall shattered.
"S-shear stress?" Lu Mingfei was shocked. Ever since he heard the principal explain the cause of the roller coaster accident, he had always been afraid of this kind of force. It was said that if he found a point on a person's body and hit it with the right amount of force, that person would instantly explode into pieces. Lu Mingfei truly felt that this way of dying was too terrifying…
"I'm not as strong as Yemeng behind you, I'm just using speed. Attacking a single point thousands of times in an instant was enough to change the internal energy structure of an object. You couldn't tell because the time was too short to even leave an image on your retina.”Aijil glanced at him from the crystal shards flying in the sky and said lightly," Be careful, the shards hurt."”Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment before he noticed the crystal shards flying towards him…Lu Mingfei casually picked up something to block for a while, but his body was still pierced by several shards. He grimaced in pain. Fortunately, there were more crystals that shattered into large pieces. They fell to the ground under the call of gravity, so Lu Mingfei didn't end up like a hedgehog.
Needless to say, all the fragments that were close to her were frozen in the air and fell to the ground after a while.
Lu Mingfei was about to thank the thing in his hand that had sacrificed itself to block others when he was stunned.
Seven Deadly Sins! Why would this powerful weapon appear here? To think that he had always thought that Lu Mingze was the one who had helped him block the attack.
"If you want me to block you, I can only find someone else to replace you.”Lu Mingze, who was standing behind Lu Mingfei, peeked his head out and looked at him with resentment.
Are you Doraemon? Or did he steal her pocket? There was everything! Lu Mingfei cursed in his heart.
The Seven Deadly Sins were still quiet. There was no sign of life. Was it because they had not been drenched in blood? With a weapon in hand, Lu Mingfei should have felt more at ease, but he still felt his heart palpitate.
There were seven sleeping dragons inside. Once they woke up, it would mean…slaughter!
