The Captain looked at Lu Mingfei, who was stepping on a sword and walking up, his face under the mask was full of panic. What kind of ghost intelligence was this? This ruthless character who could solo a Next Generation Species was a good-for-nothing with no ribbon and only B-level strength?
If he could walk out of here alive, he would definitely skin that damned intelligence dealer alive!
"Hello, hello, are you the kidnapper who hijacked Senior Brother Ye Sheng?"
As soon as Lu Mingfei boarded the ship, he walked towards the Captain, and the thin layer of dragon scales all over his body crackled and fell to the ground. Those were the scales that had been roasted crispy when he rushed out of the fire ring during the underwater battle.
Under the fallen scales, Lu Mingfei's slightly red skin was exposed. He had been scalded before the second Blood Rage, and then he had been in a high-temperature environment, with no chance to heal himself.
Fortunately, the burn level was not high, there were no blisters or swelling, just a slight redness of the body.
"You take one more step forward and I'll kill him immediately!"
The Captain was fierce in appearance but timid at heart. Hearing Lu Mingfei call Ye Sheng 'Senior Brother', he immediately moved his knife to Ye Sheng's neck.
Lu Mingfei gently tapped the ship's side, and the world's melody was cut and reorganized at this moment. The knife that was moving towards Ye Sheng's neck stopped in mid-air.
Lingering Words · Spending the Day.
Absolute dominance!
The Captain never imagined that an S-rank would have such an ability. At this moment, he suddenly realized that perhaps the underwater team didn't die because of that Next Generation Species, but most likely was completely annihilated in the battle against the S-rank.
A four-person team dying under such means didn't seem like a loss.
His body had no room to move, only his brain could think, so in this instant, he thought a lot.
He felt that dying at the hands of Liu Heguang and the S-rank didn't seem like a loss. When he got to the underworld, he could brag about fighting both a high-ranking official and an S-rank at the same time, even independently delaying the high-ranking official for tens of minutes.
It was just a pity that no one would inherit the money in his bank card.
A father who died young, a mother who had an affair, a gambling sister... such a Family didn't seem to have much to miss.
Then let him die.
Liu Heguang didn't bother to ask what was going on. He seized the opportunity and stepped out, instantly arriving beside Liu Tongchen. Without the leverage to threaten him, taking down these frogmen was like slicing melons and dicing vegetables.
In a few breaths, all the frogmen were killed.
Lu Mingfei was surprised by Liu Heguang's decisiveness, but little did he know that Liu Heguang was also surprised by Lu Mingfei's Rune. The Family had been passed down for five thousand years. Even without a complete Rune sequence list, a large number of samples had almost filled their own Rune sequence list. Liu Mingfei's abnormal Rune was unheard of by him.
He hesitated whether to ask Lu Mingfei what his Rune was called, when Shuhtome Yaji's voice suddenly rang out behind him.
"Ye Sheng!"
Liu Heguang looked back and saw Shuhtome Yaji rushing over, falling and sliding to her knees beside Ye Sheng, embracing him with great enthusiasm.
With such an interruption, Liu Heguang could only show a gentle smile and give up asking about Lu Mingfei's secret. The frogmen boarding the ship was due to their lax defense, and implicating Ye Sheng was an even greater mistake. Now was not the time to satisfy his curiosity.
So, under Liu Heguang's gaze, the doctor who was originally there to treat Liu Tongchen turned to Ye Sheng's direction, and the old doctor's young apprentice came to Liu Tongchen's front.
"Young Family Master..." The young apprentice said timidly.
"It's fine, I trust your master's judgment, and I trust you. Go ahead and do it." Liu Heguang smiled. Before Liu Tongchen was carried away on a stretcher, he patted the young apprentice's shoulder, "No matter the outcome, come work for me afterwards."
"Mingfei, let's talk over here." Liu Heguang nodded to Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei also nodded, probably guessing what Liu Heguang wanted to ask. To be honest, he was also curious about where Zero and Old Tang were now.
Time rewound to ten minutes ago.
After exiting the forty-meter crevice, Old Tang suddenly shivered. He slapped his head and gestured to Zero, asking if they could go ashore directly and not go to their warship.
With Old Tang leading the way, Zero agreed to Old Tang's idea without much hesitation. Lu Mingfei trusted him, so she trusted him too.
Facts proved Old Tang was right. When Lu Mingfei pierced through the Bronze City with a sword later, the Next Generation Species just happened to miss them nearby. Old Tang breathed a sigh of relief and turned back, wanting to show off to Lu Mingfei, but found that only his good brother's girlfriend was there, and his mood dropped again.
Mingming was so down at home, but he didn't expect to perk up a few days after entering college, not only becoming the big shot in a fantasy world, but also hooking up with such a hot girl.
Although the girl's height wasn't great, her figure was top-notch.
Thinking of this, Old Tang felt a little depressed again. Where would his true love be waiting for him?
After dedicating one compressed air tank to his brother, his remaining oxygen seemed a bit low. It seemed he had to go ashore nearby. He hoped that after being found, he wouldn't be treated roughly for his brother's girlfriend's sake.
Here.
Zero suddenly made a gesture to Old Tang. Old Tang was stunned, thinking there was nothing wrong, so the two floated up in the direction Zero pointed. The heavy rain lashed down on their faces, and the deafening sound of thunder finally gave Old Tang a sense of reality in the world. This world was really ridiculous, wouldn't it be better to proactively tell me that it's a fantasy world?
Old Tang complained in his heart, staring blankly at the agile black figure in the distance. It seemed he had seen this scene a long time ago.
The next moment, a muffled thunder sounded, and countless images piled up and rushed into his mind. He didn't have time to look.
He just felt that everything nearby had a sense of familiarity, as if long, long ago he had stood here, looking up and down at all things in heaven and earth, and beside him stood a child.
Crisply calling him 'Brother'.
The grand scene before him made him feel both close and awed, but what made his heart tremble even more was the sense of... loneliness hidden beneath that scene.
"Brother." Someone said to him in his mind.
The person who called him 'Brother' was so full of expectation, yet so lonely, like the only sunflower in a downpour, always looking forward to the scorching sun after the dark clouds dispersed, waiting day after day for the sun to cast its light and warmth upon him.
"Cough, cough, cough, ugh!"
Old Tang suddenly felt a little breathless. He desperately tore off his oxygen mask. Damn it, he forgot to take off his mask when he came out of the water.
The heavy rain poured on him. Old Tang looked at the high mountains of the Three Gorges on both banks, lost in thought.
They returned to the shore, carrying the Seven Deadly Sins and the Dragon King's bone urn.
"Come with me." Zero said, carrying the bronze box that was a head taller than her, and walked into the dark night.
Old Tang took one last look at the mountain peak, then turned and didn't look back, as if escaping something, and quickly followed Zero's footsteps. He swore he would never come here again in his life.
A long time ago, he seemed to have said the same thing.
A current swirled in the river, and a faint golden-red glow flashed by. Only when Old Tang's silhouette completely disappeared into the darkness did that hard, black giant scale disappear.
