The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 653 - 0: Lost City

With that thing guarding them, the people on the ship felt much more at ease.

After a fierce attack by the Shark People Clan, the crew and the exploration team suffered numerous casualties, and three crew members had already lost their lives.

Long Fei handed the method of using the formation over to Li Zhenni, letting her take command of the formation eye and direct the operation of the great formation.

Liu Zhenni liked formations, and had previously received a complete guide to formations from Long Fei, which she would study at home whenever she had time.

This was something Long Fei took from the tomb of Elder Ancestor Gao, equivalent to an entry-level guide to formations.

Li Zhenni didn’t find it difficult to understand and would even take photos and ask Long Fei for advice when she was free.

Now, she also had a foundation in formations.

Long Fei took her around the formation flags for a tour, and when they reached the foot of the formation, he explained the principles of the Eight Immortals Trapped Dragon Formation to her in plain language.

She nodded her little head attentively, staring at Long Fei with a flushed face, seemingly lost in thought.

When they reached a secluded spot at the stern of the ship, Li Zhenni stopped.

Long Fei, talking to himself, went on for a bit before he turned around and realized Li Zhenni was gone.

He hurriedly looked back and saw Li Zhenni with her hands behind her back, giggling at him.

Long Fei shook his head with a smile and asked her, "Why aren’t you walking?"

Li Zhenni said, "Come here, and I’ll tell you."

Long Fei frowned, took two steps forward, almost pressing close to her.

He asked curiously, "What is it?"

Li Zhenni tiptoed, her face with exotic charm coming closer, and bit his lips hard.

Long Fei’s body jolted as if electrocuted, his head ringing, and he staggered back two steps, exclaiming, "What are you doing?"

Li Zhenni pouted and said, "What, you don’t like it?"

"No, it’s not that!"

Long Fei shook his head, a bit dazed, "What’s liking got to do with it? I’m a married man."

"I don’t mind!"

Li Zhenni shrugged nonchalantly, "As for Lin Yingying, we might not be good sisters, but we’re close enough to be considered besties, she’d be willing to share with me."

Long Fei was flabbergasted, observing her as if she’d been possessed by a ghost.

At that moment, Fat Wang and a few others roasted some octopus meat and called for Long Fei to join them.

Long Fei found his excuse, quickly acknowledged it, and fled like a frightened rabbit, with guilt written all over him.

"Coward!"

Li Zhenni stood behind, yelling and stamping her foot, amused by his panic as she covered her mouth and laughed heartily.

Nothing happened during the night, and the next morning arrived. The sun rose over the azure sea, turning the surface within the circular reef into a mirror glistening with gold.

Long Fei got up early and stood at the bow, enjoying the beautiful scenery for a while.

Everything had been arranged the night before, and once the Eight Immortals Trapped Dragon Formation was activated, it would ensure the safety of the cargo ship.

Even a Core Formation Stage expert would not be able to break the formation easily without putting in some effort.

Today, Long Fei and Chu Feng were planning to dive in search of the lost temple, and Li Zhenni would not go.

Although she insisted strongly, Long Fei and Chu Feng decisively refused her.

Having her along would not only be of no help, but she would also be a big trouble, needing their attention at critical moments.

Besides, the ship’s array was completely reliant on her to be in control!

She pouted in frustration and didn’t communicate with them all morning.

Long Fei went over and comforted her with a few words, ensuring that if they found any good items inside, he would definitely share some with her.

Only then did she perk up a bit, holding Long Fei’s hand and telling him to be careful, acting as if they were a couple parting ways.

The others around them all watched with a cringe, and Long Fei felt awkward too. He let go of her hand and stepped back to hide, thinking to himself that the lady seemed to be acting strangely lately, almost as if she had developed an infatuation for him!

Li Zhenni hadn’t taken the wrong medicine; she was genuinely developing feelings for Long Fei, and at the same time, she was deliberately trying to make Chu Feng jealous.

Chu Feng’s cancellation of their engagement had been a huge blow to her.

It made her question her life and doubt her own charm.

Lin Yingying and Long Fei also had an engagement, yet they didn’t break it off; it was she who was dumped.

By using Long Fei, she intentionally irritated Chu Feng.

However, Chu Feng didn’t even look at her, smoking and staring out at the sea with a brooding face like a poet.

The ship’s crane started up, and the small submarine was slowly lowered into the sea.

Having assimilated the bloodline of the octopus, Long Fei could now control water with no issue.

It was just that he was still inexperienced, and his body had not yet evolved to the flexibility of the octopus.

This submarine, like Huaxia’s Azure Dragon, was custom-ordered from the same factory, capable of diving up to three thousand meters deep.

At that depth, the force of the water pressure could turn steel into a stream.

It would be foolish not to use good things.

Long Fei and Chu Feng certainly didn’t want to endure that kind of pressure.

The two took their seats inside and closed the thirty-centimeter-thick spherical door, which only allowed one person to enter and exit.

They waved at the group of people on deck through the special glass window before being hoisted into the sea by the buzzing winch.

Anpei Hirakawa yelled in a muffled voice, "This is the devil’s territory, you can’t go there! You’ll die, you’ll die!"

His prophet-of-doom attitude drew a wave of dissatisfaction from the people on deck.

Fat Wang led the way over and beat him up.

This Dongying soldier had been nothing but trouble all the way.

If it weren’t for Long Fei keeping him, they would have thrown him into the sea long ago.

The waves churned and then quickly returned to calm.

The submarine sank deeper and deeper, reaching fifty meters down, where Chu Feng controlled it by adding water inside.

Following the general direction given by Li Zhenni, he steered the submarine toward the reef cluster more than ten thousand meters away.

Previously, a female Shark Person had been sitting on top of it, combing her hair.

Long Fei kept a vigilant eye on the surroundings, suspecting that the Shark People’s nest was right below them.

The sea was calm, bathed in sunlight.

At fifty meters deep, there was still some light.

Long Fei and Chu Feng projected their spiritual power out of the submarine, and in no time, they reached the vicinity of the reef.

The light here momentarily became brighter, the mountain rocks seemed to have phosphorescent properties, emitting a faint blue glow from the depths of the water.

From above, it looked like a reef, rising one meter above the water surface.

Seen from below, it was clearly a mountain that was stunningly impressive.

Covered in colorful corals, it looked like an abstract mural stretching unknown miles in all directions under the faint blue light.

The size of the mountain was beyond Long Fei and Chu Feng’s imagination.

If Mount Tai were placed here, it might seem slightly less magnificent.

They probed with their minds, and their spiritual power sank hundreds of meters without reaching the bottom.

There were rumors that the East Sea held five Immortal Islands, two of which had sunk.

These two were Dai Island and Yuanqiao Island.

It was very likely that this faint blue mountain was one of the sunken Immortal Islands of the past.

Because of the abundant spiritual energy, the rocks had become spirited, thus emitting a faint blue light from the seabed.

Even without soil nourishment on the surface, corals thrived on the mountain walls.

Unlike normal mountains, you climb from the bottom to the top.

They, however, were descending from the mountain’s peak downward, and by the time they reached a hundred meters deep, the mountain range’s path became less steep and straight.

The peaks become smoother and an inclined plateau appeared.

Chu Feng turned on the most powerful searchlight and shone it downwards.

A mossy ancient city ruin suddenly appeared before their eyes.

Despite having wide experiences, Long Fei and Chu Feng were nonetheless so shaken that their mouths gaped open as if they had entered another world altogether.

The Lost Ancient City truly existed.

Looking down from above, a series of grand temples were neatly arranged, all made from white marble.

The whole city was the size of a county, with neatly planned streets and an orderly array of buildings.

Each building was unique: there were beehive shapes, bird’s nest shapes, fierce tiger heads, shapes like a peacock spreading its tail, and even some that were towering giant figures twenty to thirty meters tall.

In the city center was a large square.

In the middle of the square stood a white marble pillar fifty meters high.

Carved onto it was a majestic Coiling Dragon overlooking the entire city, as if it were the leader of this place. Perhaps the people of that era had already developed a worship of dragon totems.

The two were not archaeologists, and the Scholar wasn’t there, so they just took a casual look.

They used the submarine’s camera to capture everything in the area.

They would bring it to the archaeologists for further research later!

The more they looked, the stranger they found the city, speculating that it wasn’t built for humans but rather seemed like the creation of a group of demons.
