Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from the Black Myth

Chapter 50: Gathering Shapes and Dispersing Qi
After searching for a while, Lu Mingfei noticed a lever on the bronze wall. Everyone on the "Moniah" also noticed it through the camera.

"See those tens of thousands of bronze gears? These are probably the switches that activate the mechanical structure of the bronze city. After activating them, you may be able to find the Dragon King's palace. But no one can predict what will happen next. What awaits you may be the rebirth of this city, or more likely its destruction." Mans' voice was a little heavy. "Lu Mingfei, are you sure you want to face everything alone? Now, it's not too late for the Moniach to send you reinforcements."

Inside the cabin, Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki could not help but nod. Lu Mingfei was in a dangerous place under the cold water, while they, as members of the execution team, were staying in a warm and safe place, which made them feel a little uneasy.

After hearing Mans' question, Lu Mingfei fell into a brief silence.

After a moment of silence, Lu Mingfei walked firmly to the pull rod, grasped the rusty bronze pull rod with one hand, and then pulled it down hard.

"I'm sure." Lu Mingfei said softly. Since he had made up his mind, no one could change his determination as a man of destiny.

The click of the lever being pulled down echoed in the cabin of the "Moniah" and in everyone's heart. They all bowed their heads to the instrument display showing Lu Mingfei's vital signs to show their respect for the S-level's determination.

One hundred and eighty degrees west, deep underground in the library of Kassel College, Finkel, who was accompanying the EVA at 5% activation, also heard the click. He knelt on the ground excitedly, tears welling in his eyes.

"'Prince', do you hear this sound? This is your death knell. Stay in fear and tremble in your rat's nest. The time of reckoning has come. Come on, Little Saint Brother."

Yangtze River, Three Gorges, a tall woman in a deep-water diving suit sits by the river, the stormy river waves wash her long legs wrapped in tights. In the distance, the "Moniah" swaying in the wind and rain is vaguely visible.

"Oh, I've made so much preparation for the boss's plan. But now that I'm here, the boss just says 'the mission has changed' and leaves me out in the cold. It's so miserable." The black-haired woman pouted and spoke into the headset with some dissatisfaction.

"Don't worry, isn't that the boss' style?" A woman's voice came from the headset, and it seemed to be mixed with the sound of something crisp being chewed. "Also, the boss said that the little white rabbit has woken up. It was so sudden and unbelievable."

"Yes, he was the only one who entered the bronze palace. I wonder where this little white rabbit went to practice. He has been completely transformed." Thinking of the scene of Lu Mingfei fighting with a stick that she had seen from afar, the black-haired woman's expression became dazed.

"Wait for the boss' instructions." The sound of plastic packaging being torn open came from the headset again. "Anyway, isn't it good to have less work as a babysitter?"

In the bronze palace, Lu Mingfei, who had pulled the lever, soon heard creepy sounds coming from all around, as if someone was holding two pieces of rusty iron and rubbing them against your ears. At this moment, similar sounds were amplified hundreds and thousands of times.

Lu Mingfei looked at the bronze walls around him. Tens of thousands of bronze gears began to turn slowly. The sound of a huge bell echoed in the cave. The rust on the bronze gears began to peel off, and the teeth bit together and made a clattering sound. He looked up suddenly. In the darkness, a huge bell of an unprecedented shape rang. The bronze pendulum oscillated back and forth around the bearing. The snake-faced man on the bronze wall moved at the same time, raised the ivory hut in his hand, bent his slender snake neck, and looked up at the dome, like an ancient pilgrimage ceremony.

"The mechanical system of the Bronze City has been activated. It already knows that someone has sneaked into the king's bedroom. Perhaps the defense facilities will wake up! Lu Mingfei, be careful." Mans stared at the display screen that showed the scene inside the Bronze City with a serious expression.

However, Lu Mingfei noticed that the changes in the Bronze City ended very quickly. The gears that had just been spinning violently suddenly stopped, and the roar of the machinery disappeared without a trace. In the center of the hall stood the towering bronze tree. At this moment, the wall behind the bronze tree opened. The wall looked like a whole under the rust, but it was actually composed of countless structures. After the complex machinery operated, these structures moved away, revealing a bronze gate more than ten meters high.

Lu Mingfei shone his flashlight over there and saw the piles of bones that began to fall down in front of the bronze gate. When the image in front of him was displayed on the screen of the "Moniah", everyone took a deep breath.

Thousands of people had died here, and the armored corpses had been piled up between the bronze gate and the wall for thousands of years. Was that the army that was going to attack the Dragon King's palace?

Lu Mingfei showed no fear at all, as if he was used to it. After all the bones fell to the ground, he saw the twisted bronze face on the bronze gate, which was also a living spirit guarding the gate.

After feeding the living spirit blood with ease, the frightened bronze man opened the door for Lu Mingfei, just like the one at the entrance of the Bronze City.

When Lu Mingfei stepped into the gate, he suddenly paused, because he felt that at the end of the passage behind the gate, there was something waiting for him.

Has the Dragon King really awakened? Or is it that it is not the Dragon King, but some other being waiting for his arrival?

Lu Mingfei always felt that the underwater earthquake was too coincidental. At the right time and the right place, the longitudinal and transverse waves of the earthquake helped the Kassel Academy's execution team find the entrance to the Bronze City.

I'm afraid that the information obtained by the Executive Department that the Dragon King has not awakened is false information. Lu Mingfei did not tell the others on the "Moniah" about his guess. Anyway, he was the only one here and there was no one else to drag him down. Even if the Dragon King really woke up, he would have to face it himself.

After taking a deep breath, Lu Mingfei did not rush forward. He twisted his fingers and chanted a spell, and then used the technique of gathering and dispersing qi.

With a "whoosh" sound, a fake body appeared where Lu Mingfei was standing, and his real body turned into an imperceptible shadow. He began to move forward slowly, holding the golden cudgel which had also turned into a shadow.

In another world, if we were to say what Lu Mingfei's favorite spell is, it is not the immobilization technique that can freeze any demon, nor the iron head and iron arms that can block any attack, nor is it the magic of heaven and earth that can reach the power of the sky.

Lu Mingfei's favorite is the technique of gathering and dispersing energy taught to him by the land god of Black Wind Mountain. It is not a very powerful magical power.

After using the technique of gathering and dispersing energy, Lu Mingfei can transform into a phantom that is difficult for almost any existence to detect, making it easier for him to get close to the demon king or leader he wants to kill and deliver a fatal blow, avoid harm, or lurk in dangerous places to obtain information.
