Dragon Raja 5; Chapter 336: For Your Majesty (151)

Dragon Raja 5

If it weren’t for the blood gushing from his body, Lu Mingfei would have thought he had fallen into the old man’s trap again. They had been tricked countless times by this cunning old man along the way.

“Christina, Christina,” Bunin’s voice was weak, yet filled with joy, “My dear little Christina, my treasure, my angel.”

“No wonder he’s a Russian who loves poetry,” Finger exclaimed. “He can still spout platitudes even at a time like this.”

Lu Mingfei forced himself to stay focused, staring intently at the father and daughter. If even the yellow diamond representing her mother couldn’t awaken Christina’s humanity, then Bunin was their last hope.

That was her living father, though he could die at any moment. Recalling the journey, Christina expressed her resentment towards Bunin countless times, but she rarely mentioned her adoptive father, whom she was so proud of.

People never resent those who are unimportant to them.

Christina stopped, turned around, and looked down at the blood-soaked figure slowly crawling towards her.
Bunin was also frightened by her golden pupils. He could vaguely recognize Christina’s appearance, but he couldn’t help but be afraid of those demonic eyes.

“Christina, don’t you remember me?” He struggled to lift his head, looking up at the girl in the sky.

Christina reached out to Bunin, holding the yellow diamond in her hand like a monarch bestowing a treasure.

Lu Mingfei thought she was going to hand the yellow diamond to her father, but instead, she slowly closed her claws. The stone, thought to be the hardest by humans, crumbled into a golden powder in her palm. She released her grip, letting the wind carry this expensive, symbolic powder of memory towards Bunin. In this way, the newborn monster severed its ties with its human father and continued towards the massive pile of corpses at the end of the pier. It consisted of packs of hellhounds and clones, resembling a blood altar.

“Christina Christina!” Bunin wailed behind her, but she never turned around.

She stopped before the blood altar, her white scales unfurling, revealing fine white threads beneath them, like spider silk or feathers. Countless white threads hung down, undulating in the wind, clinging to the ground and the corpses.

She knelt down on the steel cable and curled up tightly like a baby.

This was a process similar to cocooning. Soon she was wrapped in white silk that grew from her own body. The ends of the white silk stuck to the corpse and were stained red with blood, the crimson color spreading towards the center of the cocoon.

Lu Mingfei’s head throbbed with pain, so much so that he forgot about the bloody hole in his chest. He would never forget that rainy night, when the deepest part of the Red Well resembled a giant spider’s nest, with similar white silk wrapping around Erii’s withered clothes.

“Damn it, she’s going to incubate it a second time? What kind of vampire mode is this?” Finger exclaimed.

“Explanation of terms!” Lu Mingfei roared.

“It’s a developmental process similar to that of insects. The first hatching makes her a larva, the second hatching makes her an adult. Theoretically, the larger the dragon, the more powerful its Yanling. That’s why Norton didn’t hesitate to merge with his dragon servant, because he was eager to obtain a giant dragon body to avenge his brother. Jormungandr was so easily killed because she never reverted to the mythical Midgard Serpent until her death,” Finger said. “The second hatching requires a lot of nutrients, or food. She’s converting those corpses into nutrients; you could say she’s eating them.”

“Is she in a hurry to have a second incubation here?” Lu Mingfei asked.

“She probably wanted to escape from here, but the larva’s strength isn’t enough. After the second hatching, no one could stop her.”

“If we were the ones conducting the experiment, we would have considered how to recover the samples before the experiment even started, right?” Chu Zihang suddenly said.

Lu Mingfei shivered violently.

Chu Zihang is right. Isn’t this impregnable air-raid shelter the perfect incubation chamber? They were definitely forced into this air-raid shelter by the clones and the hellhound pack, just like a jar for raising Gu worms. If a Gu worm is successfully raised, someone will eventually open the jar and take away the precious Gu worm.

Christina may have sensed her fate, which is why she quickly want to transformed into an adult to deal with those who were trying to capture her, even going so far as to “eat” the corpses. In the eyes of dragons, those were merely fresh, uncorrupted nutrients.

Lu Mingfei forced himself to stand up, grabbed the boy’s knife, and stumbled toward the other side of the pier.

“Don’t die! Don’t die!” he silently told himself, but the wound continued to bleed profusely.

Given Lu Mingze’s nature, he should have stepped forward to demand a final deal by now, but nothing happened. Perhaps the little devil was standing in some dark corner, leisurely enjoying humanity’s pathetic performance.

“Senior brother, what are you doing?” Chu Zihang didn’t understand.

“We must kill her before she emerges from her cocoon!” Lu Mingfei coughed violently. “This is our last chance. We can’t let her fall into someone else’s hands… otherwise, there will be no way to salvage the situation!”

Even now, he doesn’t fully understand the series of events that have occurred in northern Siberia, but he has a vague feeling that it will turn into a terrible disaster. This disaster should have been set in motion long ago, but it was interrupted by the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1992.

“Project Babel,” yes, the goal of this project was to build the Tower of Babel.

In the distant past, before Christ, the ancestors of the Jews built the city of Baron and the Tower of Babel in the land of Shinar. This tower was meant to lead to heaven. God was angered and separated human languages, making them unable to understand each other, thus preventing the Tower of Babel from being built.

Wouldn’t the gap between humans and dragons require a “Tower of Babel”-like plan to break it down? This plan isn’t about studying the mysteries of the gods, but about opening up the supposedly impossible path of evolution.

Someone has revived that plan, and today this disaster was about to take shape again.

There have been too many sacrifices along the way: the “mermaids” kept in giant aquariums by Herzog, the super soldiers who perished in this city, the originals and clones who died on the pier today… Erii and Christina.

This bloody path must be cut off, even if it means sacrificing that girl who looked up to justice.

Although the pier was long, it was still finite, and Lu Mingfei found it extremely difficult to walk across. This was not only due to his injury, but also because the elemental turbulence surrounding the cocoon had formed a hurricane, requiring an astonishing amount of energy for every step forward, and a slight misstep could result in being swept off the pier.
