Dragon Clan: My Word Spirit is refreshed every week

Chapter 48 Pearl Diver Girl

Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki have successfully entered the water, while Professor Mans is standing steadily in the cabin with a cigar in his mouth.

The rainwater poured heavily on the front window, and then exploded into sprays all over the sky. The strong wind roared and the ship's hull was rocking.

Professor Mance looked at the dark rainy night, feeling inexplicably uneasy, and murmured to himself in a low voice.

"Shit! This damn weather reminds me of Greenland ten years ago. It's such an ominous omen. I hope God bless me."

"Professor, God shouldn't have any control over China. Why don't you worship Confucius! I think many young Chinese people like to worship him. It should be quite effective." A 23- or 4-year-old Latin beauty Walked to Professor Mance.

"Call me captain. I am not your substitute professor now, but the captain of the Monyach." Professor Mance exhaled a puff of smoke, "Selma, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be guarding Ye Shenghe?" Is it Yaji’s life signal?”

"Everything is normal over there. The Maritime Safety Administration of the Yangtze River Channel sent a signal, saying that the heavy rain will intensify in the second half of the night, the wind will increase to level 200, the rainfall will be as high as millimeters, and there will be the possibility of thunderstorms. They have already mobilized helicopters to come and prepare to rescue us," Selma said.

"Bad things really come one after another! You replied to them that our ship has a very deep draft and a very stable hull. It can survive this heavy rain. There are several patients on the ship and it is not suitable to abandon the ship."

Professor Mance took a deep breath from his cigar and exhaled the smoke in a long breath: "Selma, could you please ask about the current progress of the underwater duo? The Chinese group should have discovered the clues. We don't have much time."

"Yes." Thelma nodded.

At this time, it was fifty meters below the water surface.

Ye Sheng and Shude Aki were conducting their twenty-seventh underwater collaborative operation. They were wearing diving suits and had spotlights on their heads. There was only a blue-gray light strip connecting them together.

"I heard that Lu Mingfei defeated Caesar, Chu Zihang and Zhou Xuan on his first day at school. He really deserves to be an S-class guy! When I interviewed him, I just thought he was a good kid. I didn't expect him to be so powerful. ." Shuode Aki said.

"To be honest, even though I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I always feel that it is a big show arranged by Junior Brother Zhou Xuan. Fingel made a bet on the results of the Free Day on the Night Watch Forum. It is said that Zhou Xuan made a profit this time Tens of millions of dollars."

"Tens of millions of dollars!?" Shuude Aki was shocked.

"Yes! Junior Brother Zhou Xuan is really powerful, and Lu Mingfei has also joined the Lion Heart Club. That proud guy like Caesar must have a headache now." Ye Sheng said with a smile.

As the two of them dived, they chatted to each other to ease each other's emotions.

Deep diving is a very dangerous thing. Just relying on an oxygen bottle and a layer of nano-material diving suit has to withstand the water pressure of more than ten atmospheres. A long signal line is the link between deep divers and human civilization. The only channel through which the world remains connected.

In the dead darkness of the water, people can easily become overly nervous, or even have a panic attack and be unable to move.

Every time he goes on a deep dive mission, Shutoku Aki always thinks of the story of the pearl diver.

In ancient times, there was a profession among fishermen near the sea who were responsible for going into the sea to find shells and collect pearls. They were called pearl divers.

Because women's subcutaneous fat is naturally thicker than men's and can withstand the cold seawater more effectively, the vast majority of people who go to the sea to fish for pearls are women.

Those pearl divers did not have high-tech wetsuits, they just tied a hemp rope around their waists and jumped directly into the sea to look for pearls.

The other end of the hemp rope is not tied to the boat or the rock, but is often held in the hands of their husbands.

Shutoku Aki has read a saying that if the husband of a pearl diver hates his wife, he can look for an opportunity to throw the hemp rope in his hand into the boundless sea when she goes into the water.

In this way, the underwater pearl diver will lose her only way home and be lost forever under the vast expanse of sea water.

Fortunately, she, Shutoku Aki, is not a pearl diver.

Every time she went into the water, Ye Sheng was by her side, without exception.

And just before entering the water, Ye Sheng took the initiative to hold my hand for the first time!
  Happy!
  Jiudoku Aki couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and felt sweet in his heart.

"We should have arrived at our destination, look." Ye Sheng showed a piece of pottery with ancient patterns that he found in front of Shuode Aki.

Jiude Yaji took the piece of pottery and inspected it: "It has a history of at least more than a thousand years. It is something from before the Shu culture was annexed by the Central Plains culture. It should be a relic of Baidi City."

"But there seems to be no trace of Baidi City around here. I feel that it should be covered by sand accumulated over thousands of years." Ye Sheng frowned and called into the communicator.

"Norma, I need sonar to scan the terrain."

"Understood, the sonar scan is being prepared." Norma, the central processor in the United States and the secretary of Kassel College, replied immediately. A few seconds later, the three-dimensional sonar map outlined with dark green contours was clearly displayed on the helmet screens of Ye Sheng and Shude Aki.

Ye Sheng carefully identified the terrain, thought for a while, and guessed the general scope of Baidi City. He stretched out his hand and pointed ahead.

"What is above the water in that direction is Baidi Mountain, and underwater is Chijia Mountain. There are also peaks in the other two directions. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, it creates a 'door' structure, and opposite is a river known as the Thatched Cottage, which flows through A valley.”

"According to Chinese Feng Shui, this is the place where mountain dragons and water dragons meet, and it is the gathering place of yin and yang. This is the best choice for building a city, and the ruins of Baidi City should be underneath."

"We need Professor Mance to support some equipment to find the entrance." Shude Aki nodded and prepared to call the Monyach.

But before she could speak, Professor Mance's voice came over the channel.

"Ye Sheng, Ya Ji, prepare to float up. According to the reminder from the Maritime Safety Administration of the Yangtze River Waterway, there may be an underwater earthquake with magnitude five intensity tonight, and the degree of danger is not low."

"Understood, give up for now." Ye Sheng looked at Jiude Aki.

Both of them were elites in the execution department. They did not hesitate for a moment because they could find Baidi City immediately, and quickly prepared to surface.

But before they could float a few meters higher, Ye Sheng's expression suddenly changed.

The surrounding billions of hectares of river water suddenly began to vibrate violently, and the rock where the two had originally stood collapsed instantly, splashing countless dust!

Shutoku Aki's vision was instantly obscured by the sand, and he couldn't tell his direction at all.

At this moment, she felt like a pearl diver lost in the sea.

"leaf……"

Before she could call out Ye Sheng's name, a pair of arms grabbed her and held her petite body tightly in his arms.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Ye Sheng's voice trembled slightly.

The next moment, a gap suddenly opened in the rock formation under the two people's feet, and a huge cavity appeared. Huge water pressure instantly hit from top to bottom!

The two of them had no room for struggle and were swept into an unknown place by the current.

……

At this time, onboard the Monyach.

Professor Mance was shouting at the first mate: "Pull up the line! Pull up the line! Get them back!!!"

The electric rotating machine started to rotate crazily, and the black rope, which acted as a lifeline and signal line at the same time, began to be recovered, but not long after, a crisp sound reached Professor Mance's ears!

His expression suddenly changed, and he thrust his hands into his hair, pulling it back so hard that it hurt the roots, but he showed no intention of stopping.

The lifeline is broken!
  Two of his proudest students may never come back.

"Professor, what should we do now!?" Thelma looked panicked.

"Calm down! You first arrange for personnel to check the situation of the Monyach, and I will contact Principal Angers." Professor Mance straightened up suddenly, his expression as cold as iron.

He is the captain and he must be calm!

……

In a small submersible on the bottom of the water not far from the Monyach.

Zhou Xuan, who was wearing a tattered diving suit, was breathing heavily, his bright golden eyes flashing with cold light.
