Dragon Raja: I practiced Naruto ninjutsu next to Lu Mingfei.

She only replied with one sentence: "Let's not contact each other or meet for now. I need some time."

This time, Gu Ran couldn't understand her meaning and quickly asked why.

She didn't reply and quickly logged off.

After that, she was never seen online again, and her QQ space was never updated.

Fortunately, through Zhang Wanjun, Gu Ran learned that she had returned to her home in Binhai City and was doing well, eating and sleeping on time every day, seemingly just like usual.

Now that he knew she was doing well, Gu Ran wasn't so worried.

He felt a little disappointed that his usually clingy girlfriend had suddenly become indifferent to him.

But he brought this upon himself, and he has no one to blame but himself.

He could only silently bear this suffering.

Chapter 218 The Bronze Project (Part 1)

The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year.

night.

The Moniach anchored at the Three Gorges. After Captain Manstein finished writing in his logbook, he called Angers to confirm the order to proceed.

"I hereby announce that the mission has begun. Good luck." Angers' voice came through the speakerphone, and everyone on the ship could hear it clearly.

After hanging up the phone, Professor Manstein began his pre-battle mobilization speech to the crew.

The main point is that everyone here is a genius, we've made thorough preparations, everyone is an elite, and we're sure to beat Norton.

The first task now is for the diving team to go underwater, enter the Bronze Palace, plant bombs, and blow Norton out.

Originally, it was Caesar and Zero's ace team that went into the water.

But Zero said that she was on her period.

The girl is physically weak these days and cannot go into the water.

Lu Mingfei from the reserve group froze instantly and asked the young girl, "Do you even know what menstruation means?"

Zero said he knew, and gave a few more perfunctory replies, but in short, he couldn't go into the water.

Lu Mingfei was extremely frustrated. For the past three months, he had been extremely attentive to Ling, worrying that she would catch a cold from the strong wind or the cold water. His concern for her was endless.

Others thought he was pursuing her, but in reality he was just worried that something might happen to her and she wouldn't be able to go into the water.

The superficial Lu Mingfei had planned everything meticulously, but he overlooked the matter of his period.

It's also because he didn't take the college entrance exam, otherwise he would have known that he could use birth control pills to avoid his menstrual cycle.

In this kind of situation, the female teacher would mention it to the girls in her class a week before the college entrance examination, and the male teacher would ask the female teacher to help.

In order to protect women's rights, Manstein allowed the substitute divers from Group B to go underwater.

Nuonuo readily agreed, while Lu Mingfei looked displeased.

He turned to look at Gu Ran, thinking to himself that this guy had said he was going to eat his last meal before he was executed, and it really came true!

Crow's mouth!

Holding two swords in her arms, Gu Ran smiled at Lu Mingfei and said, "How about I go down with my senior?"

Lu Mingfei grimaced, but still refused to agree.

"No." This decision was rejected by Captain Professor Manstein, because Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo had been training together for more than three months and had developed a tacit understanding.

Similarly, he rejected Nono's suggestion to go into the water with Caesar, because the two people going in could not be a couple.

Lu Mingfei hesitated for a long time, but in the end he was afraid of dying, but he was also worried that Nuonuo would really go into the water alone. So, in this conflicted mood, he began to change into his diving suit in distress.

Gu Ran helped him put on his gear and encouraged him, "Don't worry, you're a lucky person, nothing will happen."

Lu Mingfei had a bitter face, like the Buckethead Zombie from Plants vs. Zombies.

After getting dressed, Gu Ran stuffed something into Lu Mingfei's diving suit pocket, reminding him not to panic in case of trouble.

Then, he went to Nono, who was already wearing a diving suit, and casually picked up a silver vacuum tube from her back, asking with considerable curiosity, "What is this?"

Manstein explained, "This is the blood of the 'key,' very precious. Don't lose it. It's high-purity dragon blood that can unlock the living spirit of the Bronze Palace."

"Put it back quickly, don't touch my equipment!" Nono said irritably.

"Sorry, sorry," Gu Ran hurriedly put the silver vacuum tube back, making sure it was securely in place.

Caesar, who had been helping Nono organize her equipment, had also given her a few words of advice.

Fully equipped, Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo, carrying bombs, prepared to enter Norton's lair.

Professor Manstein made a final confirmation and then pushed the two men into the water.

Both men were equipped with communication devices, including cameras on their helmets, allowing them to communicate with people on the ship in real time.

When they reached the entrance, Manstein instructed Nono to activate the spirit with the blood of the 'key', but Lu Mingfei's finger was bitten by the spirit, and he kept crying out in pain.

Distracted by Lu Mingfei's shouts, Nuonuo suddenly slipped from her hand and sank to the bottom of the river.

Ignoring the bloodstains, she could only rescue Lu Mingfei first. With great effort, she pulled Lu Mingfei's hand out of the living spirit gate.

She examined Lu Mingfei's wound and found that it was just a shallow cut less than a centimeter long, yet this guy had been screaming and yelling for most of the day!

Lu Mingfei naturally had to argue, "The wound isn't on your body, so of course you don't know the pain!"

While the two were arguing, they didn't notice that the living spirit on the bronze palace door suddenly opened its mouth and 'swallowed' them!

Communication was temporarily interrupted, and the people on board immediately became tense.

Professor Manstein, who was in charge, kept calling out over the radio.

Fortunately, Nono's voice soon came through the communication line, reporting to the captain, which relieved everyone.

Nono reported two things: it's now breathable inside the bronze palace.

Secondly, the blood sample from the 'key' slid to the bottom of the water; they used Lu Mingfei's blood to open the door.

After communications were restored, Chen Motong, along with Lu Mingfei, began the next phase of their operation: heading to Norton's bedroom to plant the bomb.

Gu Ran sensed something on the boat and located the blood sample bottle deep underwater.

He made that pretext to contact me just so he could leave the Flying Thunder God mark on the bottle.

Once the mission is over, he'll find a chance to retrieve the blood sample from the bottle!

Nono and Lu Mingfei continued deeper into the bronze palace and came to a pile of dead bodies. Lu Mingfei was startled and grabbed Nono's slender legs, but Nono kicked him aside in disgust.

Gu Ran and Ling both looked at Caesar and found that Caesar's face was expressionless.

As expected of a romantic and open-minded Italian nobleman, he probably hasn't heard of the old Chinese proverb, "Don't be polite to your friend's wife."

Nono was very brave. She wasn't afraid of the pile of skeletons and even dared to dig up the remains, doing archaeological work. She deduced that these people were government soldiers from the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Lu Mingfei was kicked in the thigh and felt a bit of pain. Suddenly, he noticed something in his wetsuit pocket and remembered that Gu Ran had put it there.

He touched it and found that it was a waterproof band-aid.

"Brother, you're so thoughtful! You even prepared this!" Lu Mingfei tore open a band-aid, quickly stuck it on his wound, and then quickly squeezed the tear in his wetsuit.

To prevent the wetsuit from tearing and causing oxygen leakage, Lu Mingfei used a hemostatic bandage to tightly secure the wetsuit around his wrist.

Urged on by Manstein, they abandoned their archaeology and bickering. Nono had Lu Mingfei carry her as the two entered the entrance below.

From this point on, communication between the two men and the Moniach was cut off, and no matter how much Manstein called out to them from above, there was no response.

Gu Ran knew that they should have arrived at Norton's bedroom and started planting the bomb, but some unexpected things had happened.

The final battle is about to begin.

Because the communication was lost, Manstein and Caesar were very nervous and kept staring at the screen.

Manstein's Word of Power is a snake, with a range that can cover fifteen kilometers.

Caesar's Word of Power is the Kamaitachi, which allows him to hear unusual things.

Both of them could sense unusual noises coming from underwater.

Gu Ran secretly activated his Sharingan and copied the two of their Words of Power.

Both the Kamaitachi and the Snake are very practical support-type Words of Power, extremely useful for scouting!

The wait was agonizing; we had been out of communication underwater for fifteen minutes.

The first to make a pessimistic judgment was Captain Manstein.

He believed that after fifteen minutes, the chances of the two surviving were very low.

Caesar impulsively wanted to go into the water to check the situation, but was stopped by Manstein.

In his view, everyone's energy must now be focused on dealing with an awakened Dragon King and ensuring that the Dragon King does not escape!

“I think we should prepare a map of the Bronze Palace at this time,” Gu Ran said calmly, holding the Dragon Slayer Sword. “It’s the one that Lu Mingfei deciphered.”

“Yes, that’s right!” Manstein was immediately enlightened. “The Bronze City below will likely become a maze, just like Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya Ji did. Let’s prepare a map, just in case.”

He quickly had Norma prepare the map via remote computer.

Caesar then glanced gratefully at Gu Ran, who nodded in return.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean, Finger, a senior student at Kassel College, and his colleagues in the journalism department were eavesdropping on Manstein's communications channel.

Upon hearing Gu Ran's words, Senior Brother Fingel immediately had someone prepare a map.

Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo were indeed lost underwater.

The routes within the Bronze City are like a moving maze, constantly changing.

Lu Mingfei knew he had to save himself at this point, so he called out his cheat code.

"Black Sheep Wall!"

Charge, you black sheep jumping over the wall!

In the captain's cabin, Manstein suddenly went limp and pressed his forehead tightly.

His Word of Power, the Serpent, was confiscated by Lu Mingfei with irresistible power!

Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo, who had previously lost communication, made contact with the Moniach this time. He first heard Fingel's voice from across the ocean, so he asked him for help, asking him to find a map.
