The upper reaches of the Yangtze River, at the huge gate of the Three Gorges Reservoir.
The white searchlight swept across, and the black helicopter hovered in mid-air like a giant eagle. The center of the landing gear at the bottom of the aircraft was painted with a pattern of the half-decayed World Tree.
The ladder was lowered, and a slender old man helped him down. He was wearing a crisp black suit, and his posture was as tall and straight as a sharp and deadly spear that could pierce the night.
The heavy rain was still swaying, and the old man held a black umbrella to protect himself from the wind and rain, and silently stepped onto the Monyach that was leaning on the shore.
"headmaster."
Professor Manns put out his cigar, and all the shipping staff stood up and bowed deeply to the old man walking towards them.
"Well done." Principal Angers patted Professor Mance's shoulder gently. Perhaps he felt that the praise was a little too light, so he repeated it again, "Quite good."
Professor Manns listened to the principal's praise and shook his head with a wry smile, "Compared with these children, what I have done is nothing. You have really good vision. Our 'S' class is the best I have ever seen."
young people!"
There was a lot of emotion hidden in Professor Manse's bitter smile. In fact, when the freshman named Lu Mingfei took the initiative to apply to replace Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki in the Kuimen Project, he, like Professor Schneider, also
I couldn't help but put a big label on that new student as "overestimating his own abilities".
He is the mentor of Ye Sheng and Shutoku Aki. From his perspective, no one is more suitable to be the executor of this plan than those two people. Even among the duo who have cooperated for a longer time in the execution department, no one can be found.
They have a tacit understanding as underwater partners.
But looking back now, if it was his two students who really participated in this mission, Professor Mance did not think that they had the ability to compete with that behemoth. If analyzed rationally, the entire Monyach would probably be annihilated.
Under the cold river water!
The image of the huge dragon poking out of the water cast a deep shadow in his heart.
What drove away his shadow was Lu Mingfei's leap like a tiger. The sharp blade penetrated deeply into the dragon's eyes, and the hot dragon's blood splashed in front of his eyes. The deep depression and fear in his bloodline were there.
It disappeared in an instant.
"Lu Mingfei, he is indeed great. He is the most outstanding young man I have ever seen!" Principal Angers praised sincerely.
"When I saw this child, I realized that there really is a born dragon slayer in this world!" Professor Mance couldn't help but sigh, "Who dares to believe a child who has just passed the '3E' exam and has never performed a single task?
, can you annihilate the King of Bronze and Fire, one of the four kings, with just a week of underwater collaborative training?"
"The King of Bronze and Fire?" Angers shook his head slightly, "I'm sorry to tell you that the one you killed was not the King of Bronze and Fire. He was probably just a dragon attendant under Dragon King Norton. He didn't have the qualifications."
The destructive power and resilience of first-generation species.”
"The Dragon King will not be killed by just ten depth bombs. Even if those bombs are modified by the Equipment Department, if Norton releases the world-destroying word spirit Zhulong, it can instantly boil hundreds of millions of tons of water in the reservoir on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
"
"So that's it..." Professor Mance's smile became even more difficult and bitter.
Is it just a dragon servant? Just a second-generation species is almost too strong to be destroyed by human power. The real dragon king... Mance can't even imagine it.
"There is no need to be depressed." Ange's deep eyes flashed with a fiery light, "The children have not had time to grow up. Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang, Caesar... these outstanding young men will always have trouble when they grow up.
One day our shoulders will be broad enough to carry the dragon-slaying banner, and what we have to do is to be their leader and their strongest backing."
"Where's our 'S' class?"
"In the cabin, when we found him on the water, he had already fainted and passed out. He was seriously injured. Now Chu Zihang is watching over him." Mance took the principal to the back cabin.
This is the crew's lounge. It is surrounded by walls and has no windows. When not in use, the alloy door panels are closed and completely sealed. It is the only dry space in the entire Monyach.
Lu Mingfei was lying on the low bed in the corner, covered with a clean white blanket. His face was soaked in the cold river water and was covered in unhealthy white lines, with fine vertical and horizontal wounds all over it.
"headmaster."
When he saw Anger, Chu Zihang stood up and bowed gently.
"Very good!" The old man stared at Chu Zihang's golden pupils, and patted the young man's shoulder heavily with his broad palm.
"I didn't do anything." Feeling the old man's warm palm like an elder, Chu Zihang shook his head seriously, "It's Lu Mingfei's credit."
"It's not a good thing to be too self-effacing. You are all the best young people in the college. When I see you, I can't help but think of myself when I was young." Ange's vicissitudes of life flashed a trace of nostalgia for a long time.
The old man couldn't help but smile when he thought about it. In fact, compared to Lu Mingfei or Chu Zihang, the old man looked more like Caesar when he was young.
They all have the image of cynical playboys. Even if they take off their exquisite suits and put on uniform uniforms, they still stand out in the crowd and cannot hide their nobility.
"Principal, there is actually something very...unbelievable." Professor Mance closed the alloy door panel behind him and lowered his voice.
"When we fished Lu Mingfei out, his injuries were so severe that he had to be covered in plaster and tied up like a mummy. Two of his ribs were broken, his internal organs were bleeding and displaced, and there were as many as six fractures on his body.
There are so many wounds, big and small, that I can’t even count them.”
"But his current situation doesn't look as bad as you described." Ange looked at Lu Mingfei, who was in a coma.
Apart from the pale face and numerous wounds, the latter didn't look like the dying person described by Mance at all. At least a person who almost lost his life would not be breathing as steadily as if he was sleeping.
"That's the strange thing." Mance leaned down and gently lifted the blanket from Lu Mingfei's body.
"After only half an hour, his broken bones and damaged internal organs were almost recovered, and the wounds on his body were also healing at a speed a thousand times faster than ordinary people. Originally, his body had
A hideous wound extending from the left chest to the right waist, now..."
The blanket was lifted, and there was no bandage or gauze on Lu Mingfei's body. His strong body was exposed to the air. There was indeed a large wound on his left chest, but it was far from what Professor Mans described.
Horrifying, it's only half a slap in length.
And the wound was still visibly healing under their gaze.
"This is not the recovery speed that humans or ordinary hybrids should have. This kind of recovery ability makes me think of...a dragon!"
Mance's tone was depressed and suffocating, with a hint of unspeakable fear hidden in it. These words were like a ghost lingering in a narrow room, lingering for a long time.
