Volume 1 Hello, Lu Mingfei Chapter 101 The End of Fire (Part 9)
It looked like it was dead, its golden pupils gradually dimmed, no longer twisted, and returned to silence.
Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief, wondering if she should go through that passage again. If another creature like this popped out, she would be eaten alive. But there was no other way to go except through the pool behind her to try to return the same way. However, given her current injury and torn diving suit, going into the water was like choosing another way to die.
There was no other way, she could only struggle to stand up slowly by holding onto the bronze pillar. Suddenly, she shivered and her ears involuntarily stood up.
A very strange sound came from the black snake's body, like the sticky feeling of tons of meat being put into a blender. At a vital position of about three inches, the snake scales were bulging outward in a strange arc, and it seemed that there was something very violent inside that was tearing the snake's flesh from the inside.
Lu Mingfei's face almost turned black. Before the fight, it was not mentioned that this boss had a second stage! The strategy only mentioned half of it. Isn't this going to kill the unlucky guy who pioneered the new area?
Her waist ached so much that she couldn't even stand up straight. She could only watch as the bulge on the snake's back grew higher and higher until it was torn apart alive. Bright red blood spurted out like a fountain. Lu Mingfei had never seen a black snake bleed like this before when she shot it with skylight.
The black snake's flesh was pierced by a pale bone, and a figure slowly emerged from the wound. Lu Mingfei's heart beat as fast as a small electric motor. Damn, this scene looked like a third-level horror movie. Watching it on TV would only make you feel sick. Standing here and watching this thing coming out of the snake's body, every movement seemed to be pulling the muscles and valves, and the sticky creaking sound seemed to come from your own body.
Lu Mingfei couldn't help but her legs trembled like a sieve... She wasn't so scared when she saw the big black snake, but the figure that crawled out was beyond her psychological endurance.
The figure seemed to be injured. He couldn't even stand up after getting out of the black snake's body, and rolled to the ground along its slippery back. Considering that this person had been in the black snake's body before, he might have been seriously injured by Tianguang's sharp blade.
Lu Mingfei suppressed her fear and tried to shine the searchlight over there. It looked just like an ancient female ghost, dressed in tattered Hanfu, with her long hair hanging down and covering her face. She was covered in blood, and there was no skin on her right arm, only pale joints . It was with this arm, which was only left with bones, that she tore open the black snake's flesh and emerged from there.
This thing obviously couldn't be an unrelated person eaten by the black snake. Maybe this snake was her captive baby...it came for revenge.
"All the fighters are lined up in front! All the evil spirits and monsters, retreat!" Lu Mingfei waved the pistol that had run out of bullets. If there were still bullets, this female ghost might be afraid of bullets.
"You're about to die, yet you still have such a bad mouth." The female ghost smiled contemptuously and staggered towards Lu Mingfei, leaving a long trail of blood behind her. She was indeed injured, but not seriously enough to kill her immediately. A living being would not be killed so easily even if it had blood.
Lu Mingfei was stunned. This female ghost could speak, and her voice was not as sharp as those monsters in movies and TV dramas. It could even be said to be pleasant to hear. Although it was a fierce threat, it made people feel like being bathed in spring breeze. She must have been a big sister who was loved by everyone and flowers bloomed wherever she went when she was alive.
"Are you a human or a ghost?" Lu Mingfei threw the pistol at the female ghost. If it was a ghost, it would definitely pass through her body. If it was a human, it would just be bounced away.
The female ghost did not dodge, but just waved her hand lightly. The moment her sleeve fluttered, the Glock pistol broke into pieces, and a pile of broken parts clanged and fell to the ground, giving a feeling of a divine master in a martial arts movie.
"I'm Samson, the guardian of Bronze City and the personal bodyguard of my lord." She was very tall, about 1.75 meters tall, a perfect supermodel figure in this era. She stood in front of Lu Mingfei and looked down at her, like a blooming willow tree looking at the newly sprouted grass at its feet. Her golden pupils emitted a chilling light in the darkness. "How many of you are planning to invade Bronze City? There should be backup on the river outside. Tell me the truth, and I can make your death less painful. It's never a good feeling to watch your body bleed out."
If she had acted more terrifying, this threat might have had the effect of asking the King of Hell to take her life. But Samson was not a girl suitable for such a thing, because she looked too approachable, like a plum blossom. No matter how many harsh words she said, her expressionless face still looked like a big sister next door who would silently care about your daily life and would look at you with a complaining look and ask you why you didn't have breakfast today.
So even though her appearance was very special and she was covered in blood and looked wild, Lu Mingfei was not that scared when he really saw such a beautiful girl standing in front of him.
"Now should be the time for you to admit defeat to me, right? If I use my Word Spirit one more time, you'll be finished." Lu Mingfei bluffed, smiling as if she was sure of victory. She secretly glanced at the long trail of blood behind Samson out of the corner of her eye. It was impossible to tell where she was injured, but the blood was indeed dripping from her body, which showed that the light had indeed caused her serious damage.
There was a rustling sound above her head, as if someone was scratching an iron plate with an electric saw. Lu Mingfei looked up subconsciously. Samson, relying on his height advantage, put one hand on her head, like a wall-dong posture. Now that hand actually cut the surface of the bronze column, a large amount of indigo powder scattered sparsely on Lu Mingfei's shoulders.
"How long do you think it will take me to kill you?" Samson's voice seemed to contain ice. "A blink of an eye? Or a moment? Pretending to be strong is useless to me. I have experienced too many opponents who are far more cunning than you. I can tell whether someone is telling the truth or not just by looking at them. You can't use the light of heaven. The flames on the bronze pillars have been robbed of their brilliance by you. This is the biggest weakness of the word spirit of the light of heaven. Except for the sun and the moon, all light is only once for it. It is overdrawing the future glory of things to achieve powerful power in the present, transcending the power of cause and effect. Don't play these tricks on me. I don't have much patience. There should be another person who came in with you, but I don't know where he is now."
"You... know so much about this word spirit?" Lu Mingfei was shocked. Lu Mingze said that Skylight did not exist in the Word Spirit Table, and humans did not know about this powerful word spirit yet. But in Samson's mouth, it was as if she herself had used this word spirit and knew it well. Lu Mingfei was not even clear about the nature of Skylight.
"Because we've fought before." Samson sneered, looking at Lu Mingfei's expression as if he were a pathetic insect. "I can see that you don't seem to know this. Humans have really regressed. You can't get past me, but you still dream of killing the king. It's really a foolish dream."
"Strictly speaking, I was just forced to get on this pirate ship..." Lu Mingfei felt a little wronged, "I came here to find a way to save Old Tang."
"Old Tang?" Samson was stunned.
"Oh, I forgot. His name is Norton here." Lu Mingfei smiled embarrassedly. "But in my opinion, Old Tang and Norton are the same person. There is no difference."
"You talk as if you know him." Samson responded with cold eyes. Her intuition told her that she didn't like this human girl. She looked a little silly. Although she possessed the power of words like Tianguang, her overall combat capability was basically rubbish. It was hard to say what was wrong with the human's brain that allowed her to invade the Bronze City.
"I definitely knew him when he was still called Old Tang, but it was just a half-acquaintance, a little more familiar than casual acquaintances, a little more unfamiliar than relatives and friends." Lu Mingfei thought about that somewhat comical face, the fried chicken burger and AE86 when she first arrived, "But I don't know if I still know him now that he has turned into a flaming Tyrannosaurus Rex. We even had a fight. But I think he should still have some shadow of Old Tang. Even if his memory is restored, the past will not be erased because of this."
"When the Dragon King finds himself, he will no longer be the old Tang you mentioned. The human shadow is just a self-protection when he just wakes up with incomplete power. Only in this way can he grow safely in human society until he fully wakes up." Samson said, "I have to say that your idea is very naive. What are you going to use to save him? Tell him that you should be a human instead of a dragon? You are a hybrid, you should know the absoluteness of the dragon bloodline. Once you wake up, your own bloodline will definitely overwhelm the human part, just like those of you who have fallen into depravity in pursuit of power."
"I just wanted to warn him to run away..." Lu Mingfei murmured. She knew that doing so would undoubtedly be a betrayal of Kassel College, but after all, he was a friend she once knew. In so many nights of fighting in the quilt, there was a guy who would not give up until the end who accompanied her through the loneliest time in her life. Many people play games not because they like the game itself, but because they are willing to play with friends. When the operating game is old and the avatars in the online list are dim, you will eventually lose interest and choose to say goodbye.
"You are so hopelessly naive. The Dragon King will not accept your kindness, and the humans behind you will not support your idea. You will not please either side by doing this." Samson's face was full of contempt.
"But it can please myself." Lu Mingfei said seriously, "I am not a proud hero. I only care about myself. If I must kill my friends for justice, then I would rather turn to darkness. My brother and I are not the same kind of people."
Samson was speechless. This silly girl had a character called stubbornness, which in layman's terms meant she was stubborn. It was usually difficult for her to change her mind once she had made up her mind. Only when she hit her head and got a bloody head would she understand what it meant to turn back.
It really looks like another stubborn fool, the dragon servant who should have left the Bronze City long ago but insisted on staying here. Perhaps Norton didn't know that Samson was still faithfully fulfilling his duties. After all, the impending destruction was even inseparable from her, but girls who were deeply in love would always be either stupid or bad, and Samson was both. She even betrayed Constantine, thinking that Norton could draw attention to herself, but in the end she found out that the guy was just a ridiculous brother-con.
But will you give up like this? Will you watch the one you love fall into the abyss with your own eyes? Maybe there are fools in the world who would rather sacrifice their relatives for the sake of justice, but Samson is not that kind of person. In essence, she is the same as Lu Mingfei, even worse than her. If the world doesn't like me, then let the damn world be destroyed.
Samson suddenly stretched out his hand into a claw and pressed it on Lu Mingfei's shoulder!
Lu Mingfei was shocked. Samson could crush bronze with his bare hands, let alone human bones. If he was hit by this, he would either die or be disabled. Not to mention the rest of his life, it would be questionable whether he could survive the night.
She secretly cried out that her life was over, relaxed her whole body, closed her eyes, and waited for death.
But Samson just gave her a gentle hug. Even though he was covered in blood, Samson still had a faint floral scent on his body.
"After passing through the corridor, keep walking forward and you will reach the main hall. Go down to the pond on the right side of the main hall and activate the mechanism. Let the water slowly lift you up. Then continue to go deeper and you will reach the master's residence." Samson whispered, "I am sure that your idea is useless to the master, but I have no other choice. If he does not leave the Bronze City, he will surely die here. Remember what you said. I understand your intention. In exchange, I will shut down the defense mechanism of the Bronze City and give your companion a way out. You must find him as soon as possible and try to get the master to leave the Bronze City together."
Samson let go of Lu Mingfei and gently pushed her: "Let's go."
Lu Mingfei looked back at this strange girl. She was violent and ruthless when she appeared, and rational and cold when she spoke. Only when she was with Norton did she show a brief tenderness...
She suddenly understood and smiled knowingly. It turned out that there was more than one idiot. When two idiots come together, they will continue to be attracted to each other.
"My name is Lu Mingfei." Lu Mingfei left her name before leaving. The meeting was very brief, and she didn't even know what kind of dragon Samson was. But she reminded Lu Mingfei of what Nono had said, that there were dragons who could cooperate with humans. Even though they might still look down on humans at the moment, as long as they could grasp her weakness, they could create this opportunity.
"Lu Mingfei." Samson repeated the name in a low voice and nodded. "Next time you see another dragon, don't say your name like that. Not every dragon is like me... a hopeless fool."
She turned her head and gradually disappeared into the darkness, wandering silently alone, just like she had every day for the past thousand years.
