Transmigrating into a dragon clan experimental subject, is that even possible?

Lu Mingfei silently adjusted his breathing, gazing out the window with a complex expression. He knew this mission might be the most difficult test he had ever faced. Although he was still somewhat uneasy, the thought of his teammates' determination and the academy's trust gradually calmed him down. He murmured to himself, "This time I absolutely cannot hold them back, for the academy's sake, and for my own."

As the pilot took off, the aircraft gradually hovered over a vast ice field. The hatch slowly opened, and a blast of cold air rushed into the cabin, accompanied by the biting chill unique to the polar night. The four-person team, fully equipped, donned goggles and protective shields for extreme cold conditions. After taking a deep breath, they jumped out of the aircraft one by one, landing steadily on the ice field.

With their feet on the cold snow, the four immediately became highly alert. All around was silent, save for the howling wind, as if the entire world had frozen in that moment. In the distance, a faint red light could be seen—the core location of the Antarctic node, their ultimate goal.

Tian's gaze locked onto the distant red light, and he whispered, "The target is 300 meters ahead. The energy barrier set up by the Hermes family is covering the area around the node. We need to approach silently."

Chu Zihang nodded and took the lead, his movements swift and light, as if he had become one with the cold night. The blade gleamed faintly in the darkness, as if it were already prepared to face any sudden enemy attack.

Caesar followed closely behind, remaining vigilant, his dual pistols poised to strike at any moment. His gaze was calm, constantly monitoring every movement around him. He lowered his voice slightly and whispered jokingly, "Lu Mingfei, you'd better stay close this time, don't fall behind."

Despite being somewhat nervous, Lu Mingfei managed a weak smile, gripped his weapon tightly, and replied in a low voice, "Don't worry, I won't hold you back this time." He took a deep breath, trying his best to remain calm, and his eyes gradually hardened.

The four walked slowly, each step making a faint sound in the soft snow. Gradually, the surrounding atmosphere grew colder, and they could clearly feel a pressure in the air that was completely different from the previous battle, as if it concealed an evil energy that could not be ignored. As they approached the red light, a transparent energy barrier appeared before them, covered with intricate runes that emitted an eerie purple light.

Tian stopped and carefully observed the structure of the energy barrier. His golden eyes flashed with a sharp light as he quickly analyzed the barrier's construction: "This barrier is not only for defense, but it will also sound an alarm when it senses an intrusion. The Hermes family anticipated that we would come here, and they have set up the strongest defense line here."

Chu Zihang stared coldly at the barrier and said in a low voice, "If we force our way through, it might trigger a chain reaction throughout the entire defense system. We need to find the barrier's weaknesses and break through them one by one."

Caesar chuckled, a hint of nonchalance in his voice: "It seems they really intend to make it impossible for us to move an inch. But they should also know that no barrier is completely impenetrable."

Lu Mingfei stood quietly to the side, watching the runes on the barrier flicker, a sense of awe and pressure rising within him. He knew that the Hermes family's defensive capabilities were extraordinary, and every step they took was fraught with unknowns and dangers.

Tian took a decoder from his tactical backpack and carefully affixed it to the barrier. The decoder emitted a faint glow and began to capture and analyze the energy flow of the runes. A few seconds later, a tiny flaw appeared on the screen in the barrier's structure.

"Here," Tian pointed to the left side of the barrier and whispered, "this is the weakest point of the energy barrier. As long as we attack this point simultaneously, the barrier's defense mechanism will be temporarily paralyzed for a few seconds, creating an opportunity for us to break through."

Chu Zihang immediately took his position, lightning crackling on the blade, ready to strike. Caesar also swiftly raised his gun, loaded the rune bullets, locked onto the weak point of the barrier, his eyes cold and sharp, preparing to launch a precise shot.

Lu Mingfei focused his mind and unleashed the power of the word "Don't Die," as black energy gradually spread, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy the moment the barrier collapsed.

"Attack!" With Tian's command, the four launched their attack simultaneously. Chu Zihang's blade flashed with lightning, Caesar's rune bullets hit their mark precisely, and Lu Mingfei's incantation followed closely behind, black energy quickly enveloping the barrier.

With a muffled crack, the energy barrier was shattered, and the runes around it rapidly crumbled, flashing with an ominous light. The entire barrier lost its energy for a brief moment, revealing a fissure leading to its interior.

Without hesitation, the four jumped into the crevice and entered the barrier.

However, as soon as they stepped into the core area of ​​the barrier, they were met with a strong dragon aura. Several tall black figures quickly emerged from the shadows. Hermes family guardians, dressed in black robes, stood in front of them, holding rune spears and their eyes burning with fanaticism.

Chu Zihang swiftly raised his knife, its blade gleaming coldly, and whispered to his teammates, "They've noticed our arrival and are preparing to fight!"

The four-person team quickly dispersed and entered combat mode. Facing these guardians controlled by dragon power, every strike had to be precise. The battle in Antarctica had only just begun, and the enemy's formation was far more formidable than anticipated.

In the darkness, the four-person team moved swiftly through the snow and ice. A fierce battle, fueled by the clash of blades, the fire of guns, and the power of incantations, unfolded in this frigid land. This battle would be their last hope to prevent the resurgence of the dragons.

The four-person team was immediately surrounded by Hermes family guards the moment they entered the barrier. The cold air was thick with the oppressive aura of the dragons, and low, guttural roars echoed from all around, sending chills down their spines. The guards, wielding runic spears, their eyes burning with fanaticism, were clearly puppets of the dragons' will and would not tolerate anyone approaching.

Chu Zihang struck first, gripping his sword hilt tightly. The blade, imbued with the power of lightning, slashed forward with a chilling, lightning-like gleam. His figure was swift and sharp, like a blade drawn from its sheath, charging straight towards the foremost guardian. The guardian swung his runic spear in an attempt to intercept, the spearhead glowing with an eerie red light. But Chu Zihang's blade struck the spear without hesitation. Powerful lightning flowed instantly from the spear to the guardian's arm, the impact causing him to shudder. Seizing this momentary opening, Chu Zihang swiftly sidestepped, unleashing a spinning slash that felled the guardian with lightning speed and silence, his movements as fluid as flowing water.

Meanwhile, Caesar stood on the other side, his dual pistols firing rapidly, runic bullets slicing through the air and striking the enemies' vitals with pinpoint accuracy. He aimed at the guards' chests and heads, his movements practiced and ruthless, each shot carrying devastating force. Bullets pierced the guards' runic shields, sparking flashes on their bodies, and with a deafening roar, he whispered, "Now, it's your turn to see real firepower." The enemies' runic armor, though strong, crumbled rapidly under Caesar's precise attacks. He calmly reloaded, locking onto the next enemy, bullets mercilessly piercing their defenses and utterly repelling the guards.

Tian stood in the center of the battlefield, his twin pistols raised steadily, his golden eyes flashing with a sharp light as he constantly observed the subtle changes in the battle. Seeing two guards attempting to flank him, he calmly retreated, adjusted his angle, and swiftly opened fire. Bullets flew like meteors towards the guards' legs and shoulders, precisely weakening their mobility. The enemies tried to retaliate, but Tian reacted with lightning speed, quickly dodging the attacks while simultaneously raising his gun and firing, felling the approaching enemies one by one. His gaze remained fixed on the most dangerous target on the field, calm and composed.

Lu Mingfei provided support from the rear. He took a deep breath and focused his mind, casting the incantation "Don't Die." Black energy spread from around him, like a shadow over the guardians, carrying a strong corrosive quality and gradually slowing their movements. The guardians' movements began to sluggish, seemingly suppressed by the power of darkness, showing obvious signs of fatigue. Lu Mingfei gripped his weapon tightly and seized the opportunity to attack the guardians, striking their runic shields and creating more opportunities for his teammates to attack.

The battle intensified, and the guardians were clearly not going to back down easily. Chu Zihang launched another attack, his blade enveloped in the power of lightning, slashing heavily at the strongest guardian. The opponent raised his runic spear to meet the attack, and a violent energy surge erupted between them, causing the surrounding air to tremble. Chu Zihang's eyes remained cold and unmoved. He swung his blade again, unleashing a series of attacks with even greater speed, ultimately shattering the enemy's defenses.

Seeing the enemy launch a counterattack, Caesar reacted swiftly, firing his twin pistols in rapid succession, his firepower covering the entire battlefield. His marksmanship was unparalleled; every shot caught his opponents off guard. The runic bullets pierced the guards' armor, striking their vitals and causing them to fall one by one.

At crucial moments, Tianze accurately targeted the enemy's weak points, using the insight of his Golden Eyes to find the weaknesses of each enemy, ultimately defeating them one by one. Lu Mingfei also did not relax, trying his best to maintain the effect of the Word of Power, keeping the enemy trapped in the suppression of the dream, gradually losing their ability to resist.

As the last defender fell, a brief silence returned to the battlefield. The four-man squad breathed heavily, the fallen defenders on the ground around them seemingly telling the story of the fierce battle.
