Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

Page 168

After all the blood had been drained, the person who had descended said, "The door moved, but it hasn't opened yet. It seems it's not satisfied..."

Lu Mingfei muttered to himself, "10 milliliters isn't enough? Maybe I should give that little guy a couple of punches."

Ten milliliters of Orochi's blood is enough for Lu Mingfei's alchemical matrix to power up another battle against that dragon...

"Take another 10 milliliters," the system said.

As long as we can get into the Bronze City, even 50 milliliters is worth it. If we can take down that dragon and then take down the Bronze City as well, well, that would be a huge profit, since we can also extract dragon blood from that dragon.

The premise is that the plan will succeed smoothly; if it fails, the losses will be enormous.

The 10 ml of dragon's blood was removed again.

This time, the creature, still dissatisfied, reluctantly opened the door.

"The door opened..."

"Okay, go in, and remember to watch out for that dragon."

"receive."

The bronze city gate was opened, and people entered. The people stationed nearby didn't even dare to breathe loudly, for fear that their breathing would disturb the bronze city dozens of meters underwater.

Only Xia Mi, sitting at the door of the helicopter, holding a large sniper rifle, propped her cheek with one hand, looking at the quiet water, seemed rather bored.

It's lively; give it a couple of punches and it'll behave.

If Lu Mingfei had sent himself into the water, the mission would have been much easier to complete. I just wonder if the dragon has run away yet…

Whether the bronze city was now an empty city or not, she didn't know, because the bronze city, forged using alchemy, completely blocked her senses.

The two men entered the water and passed through a dark tunnel, their flashlights illuminating the white bones in the water.

"Report: We have found human remains, dressed in standard armor. They must be ancient people."

These two dangerous hybrids couldn't recognize what dynasty the armor belonged to, since they lacked the knowledge in that area.

The only way to tell from the workmanship and appearance is that it was made uniformly, not pieced together from different parts.

"It looks like they drowned."

However, they did know something about the skeletons. They were all intact bones, without any fractures or anything like that. There were no fatal wounds on the armor either, so it didn't seem to have been caused by external force.

The system analyzed the situation and said, "Let's continue exploring."

[...Ancient human soldiers actually managed to break in?...]

What's going on here? How could humans manage to break into the place where dragons live? I guess they ended up closing the city gates and flooding the city to drown them.

What's with this dragon... it's kind of lame?

[...It doesn't seem to be a very strong dragon; perhaps we can rule out the possibility of it being a dragon king...]

The system wasn't exactly disappointed, since it hadn't even confirmed whether this bronze city was the Dragon King's residence. It just felt that since it was entirely made of bronze, it somewhat resembled the Norse bronze palace of the Bronze King.

"receive."

The two continued to explore downwards along the passage.

But the Bronze City... seemed to have come alive. They heard the sound of metal, and even watched as a passageway door opened in front of them... Huge gears turned in the water. Despite being submerged for over 1000 years, the magnificent Bronze City had not completely lost its ability to function.

"The Bronze City seems to have been activated? Or maybe it's been running all along? The doors to the passage seem to be active, which could cut off our communications," the two quickly reported.

"Let's continue exploring," the system said.

"receive."

The two had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue walking; they were under immense psychological pressure.

Is the Bronze City alive? Then wouldn't the doors and passages they entered through be able to close at any time? And that dragon... it would seem quite plausible if a flashlight suddenly shone into a dragon's eye or part of its body?

It's a bit scary.

But then they suddenly stopped and reported excitedly, "There's a dragon's mark!"

Dragon script was engraved on the wall, densely packed...

Upon hearing this, the system immediately said, "Just take a couple of photos, don't look at them! The main task is still exploration!"

Discovering the dragon runes is certainly a good thing, but it would be bad if these two were to fall into spiritual vision because of them and go crazy underwater!

Moreover, the most important thing is still to explore this bronze city and find the dragon. As long as the dragon is not there, or the dragon is eliminated, Lu Mingfei can freely explore this bronze city.

"Roger that!"

The two continued their exploration.

Then, even the sound of their breathing ceased on the communication channel.

The system's first reaction was: "Is the communication line broken?"

There was no response; it seems the connection has truly been severed.

At depths of tens of meters underwater, it's impossible to communicate wirelessly; they can only communicate via wired lines.

"Is it a dragon? Or an activity at the city gate passage?"

No one responded, and they didn't even know whether the person who went into the water was alive or dead.

The system immediately sent people into the water again: "Go into the water and check if the city gates are closed, then feel along the communication lines to check the situation."

"receive."

Two fully equipped reserve divers immediately jumped into the water and then reported their first message: "The city gate is not closed, we are going deeper."

"Keep exploring."

"alright, got it."

But before they could figure out the latest situation, such as checking on the two people from before by following the communication line, the connection was lost again...

The system immediately said, "Please respond if you hear me, please respond if you hear me."

No reply. Well, two more divers lost.

It immediately addressed the entire communication channel: "All units prepare for battle."

This bronze city is indeed not so easy to touch.

[...Should we send more people down, or wait for a reply?...]

While the system is still analyzing how long it can support the corresponding situations they are encountering?

Xia Mi suddenly shouted into the channel, "Lu Mingfei, look at the water!"

What happened to the water?

The system looked at the water and then noticed something was wrong: some fish were rising to the surface, and some were even jumping out of the water in a panic.

The crew member in the small boat near the water reached out and touched the water. He immediately exclaimed, "The water is warm!"

Is the water hot?

Even though it's late at night and there's no wind or rain, the sun's rays during the day could still warm the water, but what's with the heat?

There was some static coming from the communication channel.

"Report: The water is indeed hot, and it's even heating up!"

"The water in the two groups on the east side is hot."

"The water in the two westernmost groups is also hot!"

Both groups were in small boats, very close to the water's surface, so close that they could reach out and touch the water directly.

The two groups, east and west, are separated by tens or even hundreds of meters!

【…Dragon! It's heating up the water! It's very likely trying to summon a spell!…】The system immediately made an analysis and then went to the deck of the large ship.

Xia Mi raised the sniper rifle in her hand; the dragon had already emerged.

Bubbles began to appear on the water's surface, and white steam rose...

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but swear: "Holy crap, the water's boiling! And it's a water surface of over a thousand square meters!"

They boiled over a thousand square meters of water, and the depth of which was unknown. Even Lu Mingfei, who possessed the power of words, couldn't help but be astonished.

The system analysis showed that Lu Mingfei himself couldn't possibly achieve that level of power! How much heat would that require?! Could someone have dropped a nuclear bomb into the water?

"Is there any response from the bio-sonar?" the system asked.

"There's no feedback from the sonar!"

A dark shadow suddenly emerged from the water, and a helicopter was swept into the water.

"dragon!"

It's finally out!

The system immediately flew over there, but did not dare to enter the water rashly.

Because it appeared from behind, Xia Mi's sniper rifle was a step too late and missed the dragon. Even if it were a dragon, it would have to react, not to mention that this wasn't her home turf, and she hadn't been trying to detect any ripples in the water.

Samson recognized Lu Mingfei flying in the sky from the bottom of the boiling water.

Last time it was the other side that came to probe, and this time it's the same one. Didn't we scare them off last time? They still dare to come here.

But the opponent was very strong, and this time they came prepared... Samson felt very uneasy, extremely uneasy! If he rashly came out of the water, he would probably walk into their trap!

What should we do? When are you coming back, Your Majesty Norton? I feel like His Majesty Constantine and I really have to run away.

These days, it has been trying to communicate with the remaining king—Constantine.

However, the other party vaguely conveyed that they did not want to leave because their brother was not there, and if they left, their brother probably wouldn't know where to look for them.

Samson wasn't actually in a particularly panicked state, since he could still protect himself.

When someone sneaked into the Bronze City, it already informed Constantine that Constantine was also in the process of reviving... However, faced with this premeditated encirclement, even if Constantine revives, he will probably have no choice but to retreat, since a deadly struggle will not yield any good results...

But will our king really withdraw?

Samson was heavy-hearted. Even if Constantine had recovered, if he chose to stay here and wait for Norton to return, he would most likely be doomed.

Sigh... Let's try to hold them off and make Constantine develop as perfectly as possible. Otherwise, even if His Majesty Constantine is forcibly hatched, he might not be as strong as Constantine.

Samson swam in the water, constantly releasing high temperatures to intimidate his enemies on the water.
