Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 294 Bronze City

Late at night, the tugboat "Monyach" shuddered in the storm on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

This was a rare rainstorm in autumn. The rain was pouring down and the wind speed reached level five. Other ships had to dock to avoid the wind. On the restless water, only the xenon lights of the Moniach were flashing in the rain.

In the cabin, Luke and Caesar, who were about to go into the water, put on close-fitting nano-material diving suits and made final preparations, while Lu Mingfei and Ling were exercising beside them and preparing for the activities before taking over.

Next to the four people were Captain Mance Rundstedt, a charming woman with a wedding ring, and a baby named "Key" crying in the cradle.

Luke didn't like the sound of a crying child and frowned slightly, "What's the point of bringing the 'key' here? Are you worried that my bloodline is not enough to open the door?"

"It's just a backup plan to assist your actions. You and Caesar are the main force of our exploration this time."

Mans answered cautiously and politely that as a school trustee, Luke was one of the bosses of all the professors in the college, including the president, and he could not treat him as a student casually.

If Lu Ke hadn't asked for it, no one would have dared to assign him to such a dangerous mission, even if he was the best "S" level.

The woman next to her moved her eyes slightly and a smile appeared on her charming face.

"Mr. Lu, I am..."

Luke interrupted her and said in a cold tone, "I'm not interested in listening to your self-introduction. Keep the key quiet, or I'll throw you into the sea."

The woman's smile froze, her fairly delicate features twisted together, and she tactfully revealed her identity.

"I heard that Director Lu is dating our Mo Tong. I hope that child hasn't caused you any trouble. She has been very naughty since she was a child..."

"What's her nickname?"

The woman was stuck for a moment, "Mo..."

"If you don't care about your stepdaughter, don't try to get close to her like you've watched her grow up. That's very awkward."

Luke said it bluntly, with a hint of nonchalance in his obsidian eyes.

The straightforward and cold words dashed the woman's expectations, and her face felt as if she had been slapped in the face and started to burn.

She lowered her head and rocked the cradle gently, but the baby didn't respond. Instead, his crying became louder, so much so that the woman's fingers painted with red nail polish turned white from the force.

"It's almost time for us to get in the water."

Caesar patted Luke on the shoulder, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

He had a lollipop in his mouth as a substitute for a cigar. For the underwater mission, he reluctantly gave up smoking temporarily to prevent nicotine from affecting his cardiopulmonary function.

Luke glanced at Caesar, gave him face and said nothing more.

The two men walked onto the deck, enveloped by strong winds and heavy rain, and began to help each other put on a series of diving equipment prepared by the academy, including masks, fins, buoyancy control vests and oxygen cylinders.

"I thought you wouldn't go out of your way to stand up for Nuonuo. You don't seem to have deep feelings for her. If she hadn't taken the initiative, you two wouldn't even be together."

While putting on the clothes, Caesar suddenly spoke.

"Relationships can be cultivated slowly. I firmly believe in the theory that 'love grows over time'. Since she is already mine, her troubles are my troubles, and I don't want to have any troubles."

Lu Ke explained calmly, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"

Caesar looked at Luke with a complicated expression, as if he saw another person through him.

"Just wondering how you playboys view your women."

"There are differences between a playboy and a womanizer. I have never concealed my current situation. I am indeed the one who is in debt emotionally, but I can make up for it in other aspects."

Luke smiled strangely as he spoke.

"Caesar, you are not trying to seek fatherly love from me."

"Stop talking nonsense, this mission is no joke."

Caesar sighed as he looked at the heavy rain that made his helmet bang and the strong wind that stirred up the waves.

"In your country's terms, this is called a bad start. The weather today is not very good."

"Who said the weather is bad? This weather is great."

Luke stretched out a hand, feeling the torrential rain hitting his palm and the wind brushing across his knuckles, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

On this wonderful stormy night, Lanlong's blood was cheering with joy. He wished he could stretch his body and vent his strength in the storm and bring about a disaster that would sweep the world.

……

The timer goes off and it's time to act.

Luke and Caesar leaped down, their bodies drawing two smooth arcs in the air, and disappeared on the spot with two "plops".

The water was pitch black with undercurrents. The only source of light was the searchlights above the two people's heads. The water was so quiet that it made people uncomfortable, with only the sound of limbs stirring and the sound of bubbles bursting after they came out of the water.

When diving deep, you will feel abandoned by the world and lonely in the abyss.

This feeling cannot be eliminated no matter how many times you practice. The only solution is to be patient. However, if two people work together, there is always a signal line connecting them so they can talk.

Caesar looked at Luke and wanted to exchange information or chat about something, but the other party seemed to be quite adapted to the environment in the water. He looked at the scenery in the water with great interest, without any psychological burden, and did not even say a word to relieve the pressure.

He had never heard of Lu Ke having deep diving practice, so what was the reason for his current performance?

Is this reasonable?

Is this reasonable? ?
Caesar gritted his teeth, but his competitive spirit prevented him from speaking actively, and the depth of their descent continued to extend.

Ten meters, thirty meters, fifty meters...

The pressure all around was getting greater and greater, for ordinary people, diving above 30 meters was considered deep diving, and even for professional divers, 60 meters was a hurdle, but for the hybrids who were little supermen per capita, the water pressure was not a threat.

At a distance of about 60 meters, the two reached the bottom of the water. The feeling of touching the bottom slightly eased the uneasiness in their hearts. The violent storm was filtered by the 60-meter water layer and reached here, leaving only gentle waves.

This place was flooded due to the water storage of the Three Gorges Reservoir. It was a mountainous area before. The stones were polished smooth by the water flow and a thick layer of mud and sand accumulated on them.

“It’s like playing in a VR aquarium, but in an oversized one.”

Lu Ke looked with interest at the undulating riverbed, the scattered rocks and reefs, and the fish, shrimp and shellfish that were disturbed by the two men.

"Be serious, we have arrived at the designated location, Baidi City should be nearby."

Caesar, his deputy, twitched his lips twice and looked around. As far as he could see, there was no sign of anything that could be called a "city".

Lu Ke withdrew his gaze and nodded, saying, "Use your sickle-weasel to explore the direction."

Upon hearing this, Caesar closed his eyes, shut off all his senses, and focused all his attention on listening.

He uttered an ancient language, and a domain began to take shape. The wind demon followed the master's will and broke out of the body, extending in all directions.

After a moment, Caesar opened his eyes with a sullen face, obviously not satisfied with his results.

"There are no traces of Baidi City nearby, but I already know the terrain. There is no need to worry about missing a step or any accidents. We can move to another location and use the sickle-weasel to explore again."

The medium through which "Kamaitachi" detects information is wind, and it cannot use water as a medium. However, the air in water is thin, and its detection range is much smaller than that of a "snake" in water.

The wind demon tried hard to move outward, but ultimately could not get too far away from the main body.

Luke looked at Caesar. The young man pretended to be calm but still showed a little loneliness.

Unless the sickle-itachi is upgraded to a blood-sucking sickle, it has no killing power. Even if it evolves into a blood-sucking sickle, its killing power is far less than Jun Yan, and Caesar has not yet learned how to burst blood. If you look closely at the original work, you will find that Caesar has been losing all his life. He is obviously a shining character, but he can't show any good results. He has failed in family, friendship, and love.

The expression of the blond young man reminded Lu Ke of his good friend Amir Campbell in another world. He sighed and put his hand on Caesar.

"I don't like to help for free, so when you go back you have to put on a polar bear costume and do a square dance for me and post it on the Night Watch forum."

"what?"

Before Caesar understood what Lu Ke said, he felt his golden eyes light up involuntarily, and a violent force flowed into his body through Lu Ke's hand, and his whole body seemed to start burning!
"Come on, launch the Kamaitachi again!"

Luke's voice rang like thunder in his ears.

Caesar chanted the ancient language for the second time as instructed. This time, the sickle-weasels roared and stirred up the wind and rain as if they were given an injection of chicken blood. Their number and quality increased several times.

The scope expands, expands, and expands again.

In an instant, his domain expanded tenfold!
What is even more incredible is that Kamaitachi cannot use water as a medium, but at this moment the rain transmits the information, and everything flows into his brain.

At this moment, Caesar felt like he had become a god.

Everything is under his control. The water in the entire upper reaches of the Yangtze River has become his limbs. With just a thought, he can turn rivers and seas upside down and destroy the world.

This feeling is really hard to describe in words!

Caesar was extremely shocked, and felt that his previous complacency had disappeared.

Is this the true power and authority?
……

Lu Mingfei held the phone in his hand, feeling inexplicably anxious.

He has been unable to contact Lao Tang since yesterday, and the last communication between the two was "Sure, I'll wait for you."

It was just one day without them chatting, but he suddenly felt a sense of panic, as if something had really happened to Old Tang. He seemed a little anxious and uneasy.

"You don't look well."

Zero suddenly spoke, his expressionless face coming closer, causing him to shrink back in fear.

Lu Mingfei scratched his head. “A little bit. Maybe it’s because it’s my first mission. My heart is beating fast and I feel a little uneasy.”

Zero was silent for a moment, "Have you ever seen Dark Norton House?"

"…What kind of book is that with such a weird name?"

"It's an 18+ fan fiction written by an anonymous author on the Night Watch forum. It's paid to read. The writing is good. It's about three people who entered Norton House on the day of freedom. That is, you, Chu Zihang, and Caesar were tortured by various unspeakable mechanisms inside, and finally they were toyed with by the owner of Norton House until they were virgins..."

"Okay, okay."

Lu Mingfei was so embarrassed that he was about to dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his feet. How did the creature called fujoshi spread to the whole world? He thought that this creature would only appear in Shilan Middle School and fantasize about Chu Zihang and other men.

"Just to ask, does Finger appear in the story?"

"Yes, he is Luke's accomplice. He was responsible for designing the steps to discipline you, forcing you into prostitution, and forcing you to drink the potion that can change your gender."

Lu Mingfei: “…against the will of heaven.”

It turned out that the useless senior brother was still resentful of me for taking him to the Mother Drowning Spring. He sighed.

"Zero, I know you want me to relax, but your topic is really a bit... ahead of the times."

Last time I told him about the bloody development history of mixed-race races, and this time I told him about an 18+ pornographic Nantong novel in which I was one of the protagonists. I really can’t bear it!

"I'm sorry, I'm really not good at speaking."

Ling apologized expressionlessly, "How about this, you tell me what happened in Norton Hall that day? If you tell me, I can ask the administrator to delete the post."

"No need for that. It's just something that Senior Brother Wasteful wrote as a joke. I'll ask him for half of the royalties when I get back!"

Lu Mingfei laughed it off and chose to refuse to disclose it.

During this period of time, he also learned some basic knowledge related to alchemy, and understood what the dream-like dream that day was about and how advanced alchemy was needed to create it.

Obviously, that is not something a sophomore from Kassel can make. The boss probably has some secret. Maybe, as some people say on the Internet, he is a child of destiny who came from another world, was reborn and came with his own system.

Although the boss himself was easy-going and didn't really care about being exposed, Lu Mingfei still felt that he shouldn't say it.

He was more concerned with other things at the moment.

Lu Mingfei looked at the conversation interface on his phone, feeling uneasy.

"What's going on? Old Tang."

……

Swah——

The group of sickle-weasels suddenly returned to their original form, and the huge territory collapsed.

Caesar woke up from the beauty of power and authority. He stared at Luke who had withdrawn his hand and was speechless for a moment.

"Have you found the location of Baidi City?"

"……found it."

Caesar led the way silently, and the two of them moved forward in the direction they had explored. Halfway through, he looked at Lu Ke, whose face was ruddy and showed no sign of exhaustion, and couldn't help but speak.

"That was... your Word Spirit? Are you the holder of the Ocean and Water King Word Spirit? What level is your Word Spirit, high-risk or top secret?"

The Word Spirit is the trump card of every half-blood. There are "rules" in the academy that prohibit them from using it. Basically, the Word Spirit of each person is only known to his or her mentor and very close people.

言灵序列表中，序列1到序列88属于稳定言灵，序列89到100属于危险言灵，序列101到112属于高危言灵，序列113-118属于绝密言灵。

The higher the sequence, the greater the power, but it also means it is more unstable and more costly to use.

But even though Lu Ke had just used some method to transfer the power to himself, his stability and power were still extremely amazing, and there was no sign of excessive consumption at all.

Caesar asked one last question with a complicated expression.

"Luke, what on earth are you?"

"It's your father."

Lu Ke rolled his eyes at him and said, "I am the captain of this mission and you are the deputy. Why are you asking so many questions? Just listen to my instructions and everything will be fine."

While they were talking, the two had already arrived at their destination.

The exploring light was lost in the dark green. Everything looked the same in all directions, with no end in sight, except for right in front, where stood a giant bronze wall that extended up, down, left and right. It seemed to have no boundaries and was infinite.

Caesar suppressed his complicated feelings and observed the scene.

“I never thought that the Dragon Tomb of the King of Bronze and Fire is actually a bronze city.”

Lu Ke approached the Bronze City, stroking the huge city shape.

No, it was not just an ordinary bronze-cast city. There were countless alchemical arrays inside, which were interconnected and so complex that it was unimaginable. Even his perception could hardly penetrate it.

This is the Bronze City, it is also the Nibelungen, and it is also a huge weapon!
