Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from the New Three Kingdoms

The water, ranging from deep blue to pitch black, was icy cold.

Susie felt alright, but Lu Mingfei didn't feel so good because he had one hand outside.

Lu Mingfei continued to dive. The deep blue water was very clear, and his searchlight could illuminate a great distance.

But at this moment, Manstein and those in the command center looking at the big screen thought it would be better if the object didn't shine so far.

Because beneath the water's surface lay a forest of white bones.

Moreover, they were all human bones, which could be seen from the shape of the skulls.

"Are there any of you who are good at subjects like biology? Will this water infect my wound?"

Lu Mingfei dived to the bottom of the water and turned over the bones as if he were looking for something, seemingly oblivious to them.

"Yes, but only if the water is still and all the corpses turn into bones in the water. In that case, there will be burns from high osmotic pressure, as well as some tetanus and some spore infections."

.........

For Lu Mingfei, there was something even more subtle than the possibility of him being infected, because the voice was cold and indifferent, like crystal-clear ice.

"zero?"

"it's me."

Zero provided the answer to Lu Mingfei's question in the command room.

So they overheard what happened between Cricket Caesar and Chu Zihang when he first came down?!

"Doesn't that mean...?"

"Yes, all the personnel who are not required to take action for the time being are here. Your performance has been evident to all."

A cold voice came from behind him, and Lu Mingfei was so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into a hole.

Wait, he found a crack in the ground.

They lifted a man's sternum, revealing an uncle with firewood in his mouth.

Well, this time Lu Mingfei didn't intend to break his teeth. He used his sword to poke a wound on his hand and then smeared the blood on his lips.

"Are there any vaccines or similar supplies on board?"

Watching the creature open its mouth wide and suck up a waterspout from the bottom of the water, Lu Mingfei uttered these last words before jumping in.

There are differences between living spirits. If the previous living spirit made Lu Mingfei's vision go black for a while after he was sucked in, then this living spirit is just like a water slide.

It's just a water slide that spirals downwards, and it feels like it won't stop until it makes you dizzy.

"Bang!"

Finally landing, Lu Mingfei looked around and was surprised to find a Ferris wheel below.

Okay, actually it was a bronze waterwheel, slowly turning as it was carried by the flowing water. He was standing on an unknown fabric that felt like a cushion.

Finally, as the waterwheel slowly turned to the bottom, Lu Mingfei, who could see the light, jumped out.

"Alright! We've finally arrived at the Dragon King's palace. Let me see... This looks more like a private residence."

Lu Mingfei surveyed the situation before him, feeling a bit uneasy, and then continued speaking.

"Um, you can get down now."

"Oh, sorry, I forgot."

A gentle voice came from behind him, and Lu Mingfei finally felt a lightness in his body as Susie got off his back.

He stretched his back, his bones cracking, and he looked much more energetic.

"The communication line is down. It will probably have to wait until we plant the bomb and go out to reconnect it. But we definitely can't go up there anymore. If that big bronze statue comes to life, it will be a tough fight for me."

"Is it just that it's hard to fight?" Susie found Lu Mingfei's words a bit outrageous.

But what's really abstract is that she felt Lu Mingfei hadn't lied.

"Alright, let's see what's going on here. I have a feeling something's off about this place."

Lu Mingfei gave the instructions, and the two began searching the house.

"If Nono were here, that would be great."

Susie suddenly uttered such a sigh, while Lu Mingfei was somewhat puzzled. "Nono, what can she do?"

He didn't mean to look down on Caesar, but he did think Caesar was getting a bit senile by sending someone without the power of words to participate in this kind of mission.

Seeing Lu Mingfei's confused look, Susie explained.

"Nono can perform profiling. She can deduce the original situation of the people here from their activity patterns, and even reconstruct their personalities."

"It sounds impressive, but these are the current conditions. Without your sword control, we wouldn't have been able to get here."

"Thank you for your encouragement. Nono said you're like a mentally ill person who's been tormented to the point of giving up by a bunch of lunatics. I really didn't see that coming."

Hearing Lu Mingfei's words, Susie smiled slightly at him and uttered words that Lu Mingfei found somewhat unbelievable.

"That's quite interesting."

Having put that topic behind him, Lu Mingfei began to examine the room. It was made of bronze... How novel!

Outside the window were dark walls, and the room's interior resembled an ancient dwelling.

It looks like something specially made for a tourist attraction, or maybe it's from Hengdian World Studios.

Time has left its mark on this room; all the plants have withered and died.

A scroll hung on the wall, and Lu Mingfei felt that even a gust of wind would turn the silk into ashes.

And the most important thing is light.

The light they had seen earlier came from a lamp, the Changxin Palace Lamp, which was used by Liu Sheng, the Prince of Zhongshan, an ancestor of Liu Bei.

He complained.

"It seems that this Dragon King is quite simple. He didn't use the whale oil or the luminous pearl that Qin Shi Huang used, and he only lives in this small house."

The rattan bed and wooden table here are not as luxurious as his house in Xuchang.

"Are you sure this is the Dragon King's residence?"

Susie was still looking around. She wasn't quite sure, but geographically speaking, this place did seem to be the Dragon King's palace.

But the decor doesn't look like it at all; the contrast is so stark it's as if Caesar would wear a bodysuit, mask, and cloak every night to go out as an unsung hero and right wrongs.

Lu Mingfei, however, continued to frown as he looked at the Changxin Palace Lantern.

"This is the place, no doubt about it. But whether the bomb is planted or not is irrelevant. The oil in this lamp is fresh. The Dragon King isn't in hibernation at all; he's not even here. How much oxygen do you have left?"

Susie glanced at the pointer, her hands trembling slightly. What did it mean that the Dragon King hadn't gone into hibernation? Were they about to face Norton's wrath?

"Half an hour, how about you?"

"Enough."

Lu Mingfei glanced at his pointer and gave an ambiguous answer. He pressed his temples, plopped down on the still sturdy rattan bed, and pondered.

"I remember Ye Sheng telling me that they found a rectangular box that should be very valuable, and according to analysis, it may contain weapons."

"You plan to find that box? If it contains a weapon, you'll use it to fight the Dragon King? But that box was made by the Dragon King Norton, right? Could it even be of any use to him?"

Susie sat next to Lu Mingfei, trying to help him sort out the situation.

"There's no other way. What else can we do? A living Dragon King is no match for my two iron plates and your sword technique. Should we use bombs to take it down with us?"

At this point, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but smile.

"Whether they can kill the Dragon King is hard to say, but they can definitely kill the two of us."

Susie couldn't smile.

But Lu Mingfei suddenly looked like he remembered something.

"By the way, when I fought the enemies who invaded the academy, they used a technique that greatly enhances physical strength. It's a technique that many hybrids should be able to master. Do you know it?"

Susie's expression changed. Although she didn't say anything, Lu Mingfei knew she would.
