The current investigation scope of the scientific expedition team is still within the area of Mount Fuji. During heavy rains, the tides are very strong. The turbulent Tama River flows by the side of their camp. The river overflows the riverbed for a considerable distance, and there is a possibility of flooding.
trend.
Deep under their feet there is an underground river with surging undercurrents, called the Akagui River. Different from the general cold and dark underground rivers, part of the Akagui River originates from the magma at the foot of Mount Fuji.
The source of the Onigawa River turns into boiling boiling water. It meets the cold Tama River somewhere in the valley. The blending of hot water and cold spring will make a huge sound. This sound is reflected by the valley and is like thunder exploding at the bottom of the valley. Therefore,
This is also known as Thunder Valley.
It is said that the Thunder Valley is the place where the Yamata-no-Orochi came. One of the songs of the Yamata-Orochi once drank the water in the Tama River until it dried up, and then randomly let out a deafening roar. The sound caused thunder from the sky to crash down in the valley.
, this is the origin of the Thunder Valley in mythology and history. The local people firmly believe in this statement, because there is a huge lightning-strike log in the valley. Around this log, an ancient Yaqi Shrine was built nearby.
It is said that this shrine has been standing in this valley since the Nara period.
This is one of the reasons why this place was selected as a key investigation area. Myths and legends are not necessarily absurd stories of origin. For ordinary members of the scientific expedition team, the Yamata no Orochi may be just a horrifying legend, but for the snakes among them
For the members of the Qihachi family, this is not a legend or a story, but something that really exists in the history of mixed races. It is a fallen "god". Once that thing really appears in this world, a huge
Disaster will occur, and countless people will die as a result.
The most important area of drilling this time is Thunder Valley. The drill bit drilled holes downwards above the intersection of two large rivers. The depth of drilling tonight has already exceeded 250 meters, but the drilling operations still have not stopped. Normally,
The members of the scientific expedition team are quite puzzled by this. They claim that the endless exploration will eventually open up the netherworld. Moreover, the deeper the drilling operation, the more funds will be consumed. After the drilling depth exceeds one hundred meters, every day
At a depth of twenty meters, the financial resources consumed basically increase exponentially.
However, other voices in the scientific expedition team insisted on this exploration operation, as if they would not give up until they truly opened up the underworld. These voices belonged to the power of the Snakekihachi family. The intersection of the Tama River and the Akaki River deep underground is
The Rock Flow Research Institute has analyzed the key suspected areas, and they must convince the entire scientific expedition team to drill a well with a depth of more than 300 meters here.
There are countless situations similar to the recent scientific expedition team. In industry, heavy industry, media, and even politics, almost all walks of life in this country have the Sheqiba family as insider elites. This mafia family secretly controls this.
Everything in the country quietly maintains the normal development and operation of the country on weekdays, but in critical moments like today, it does not hesitate to show its strong side.
Sakurai Masahiko jumped off the off-road vehicle in the distance. It was raining heavily. He didn't even bother to hold an umbrella, and he didn't have time to change out of his expensive leather shoes. Instead, he stepped on the muddy road, one step at a time.
We walked to the high-speed drilling rig that was doing construction work.
"Stop!" Sakurai Masahiko shouted at the relevant personnel who were operating the drilling rig, "Stop immediately! Suspend the drilling mission!"
However, no one responded. Today's heavy rain was too heavy. The raindrops splashing on the nearby awning looked like someone was slapping the edge of the awning hard. The waves of the Tama River not far away were roaring, and there was also the deafening working sound of the hydraulic drilling rig. All
People are working under tremendous pressure under these high-intensity sound waves. Their auditory systems have been damaged to the point of numbness. Sakurai Masahiko's roar cannot attract anyone's attention at all.
Seeing this, Masahiko Sakurai climbed directly onto the operating console of the drilling rig. He opened the door of the operating cabin arrogantly, and before the operator could react, he pressed the stop button of the hydraulic drilling rig without explanation. Between the alloy drill bit and the underground mud and rocks,
The huge friction sound gradually became smaller, and the giant machine like a steel beast slowly returned to a standstill from restlessness.
Everyone present subconsciously looked in the direction of the drilling rig operating table. The operator also turned to look at the guy who stopped the machine in his hand with a fierce look on his face. Didn't this ungrateful guy know that the drilling mission was about to begin?
Have you entered the most important part? The operator's curse words have already appeared on his lips... But when the operator saw Masahiko Sakurai's stern face that was soaked by the rain, he instantly became silent and the words that came to his mouth were
The swear words were swallowed down the throat along with a large mouthful of saliva.
Because the operator is also a member of the Snake Qihachi family, and Sakurai Masahiko is the top person in charge of the site within the family for this operation, there are many members of the Snake Qihachi family in the scientific expedition team who will unconditionally obey Sakurai at the scene.
Scheduling and direction by Masahiko Ii.
"What's wrong?" the operator asked Masahiko Sakurai respectfully, "Didn't you go back to the family to attend an emergency meeting? Why did you come back tonight? Did something happen to the family?"
"I rushed back as soon as the meeting ended, because this meeting only mentioned one thing." Masahiko Sakurai looked at the bottomless hole under the drilling machine and said, "The exploration of the Jindai ruins in the Tama River was urgently suspended.
Work."
"Suspension of exploration work..." the operator murmured, "Why? Isn't our work going very smoothly? The depth of the drilling rig will soon exceed 300 meters. This is a depth that we have not been able to achieve in previous explorations.
, the river channel of the Akaki River is also close at hand, and Director Miyamoto previously said that by analyzing the hydrology of the Akaki River, it is possible to find the location of the Jindai ruins."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Masahiko Sakurai did not answer the operator's question. He jumped off the operating table and came to the vicinity of the cave entrance. All the construction workers on site gathered here.
"The engineering work is going very smoothly now. Why did you suddenly stop the drilling rig?" Someone asked Masahiko Sakurai. All the people gathered around him were members of the Snake Qihachi family.
"This is what was explained in this family meeting, the latest order from everyone." Masahiko Sakurai said, "Stop all searches for the remains of the Gods in the Tama River area, and stop the search for 'gods' and the drilling project."
"Why? Why would your parents give such an order?" Some people were puzzled.
"Is it the new chief again? Before this, he had stopped the battle against the fierce ghosts on all sides, and now he has stopped the search for 'gods'. What on earth does he want to do?" Someone asked the young people.
The leader questioned, "Are we being asked to sit back and watch this country being destroyed?"
"Shut up!" Sakurai Masahiko stopped the discussion at the scene. He turned to look at the on-site engineering director and asked, "What stage is the drilling process at now? How is the condition of the drill bit?"
"I don't know yet. The drilling of the drill pipe just now was somewhat blocked. It seems that it encountered an unusually hard rock formation, probably siliceous rock." The engineering director said, "After fighting the rock formation for two hours, the hydraulic drill bit successfully broke through.
After the hard soil layer, the subsequent work went smoothly, and we may have broken through the porous volcanic rock and reached the depth of the Akagui River."
Sakurai Masahiko's expression changed on the spot. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the hole. The drilling rig was pulling out a drill pipe several hundred meters long from the drill hole.
The tip of the drill bit is made of diamond, and the drill pipe is artificially spliced from alloy section to section. Each drill pipe is more than ten meters long, and dozens of drill pipes are tightly connected. Each operation starts and stops.
Relevant operators are required to secure the buckles between the drill pipes firmly, so after the drilling operation was suspended this time, relevant personnel quickly gathered around, preparing to unfasten the buckles between the drill pipes and then add coolant.
and maintenance oil.
"What's going on?" The relevant personnel were stunned, "Why is there a gap in the drill?"
"Perhaps it was damaged when breaking through the siliceous layer?" Another staff member said casually, "Maybe there are extremely hard broken diamonds in the siliceous layer."
"But the gap doesn't look like it was caused by a collision. Instead, it looks like it was gnawed out by some kind of insect."
"Are you drunk? What kind of insect can chew diamonds with its teeth? A diamond insect?"
"Avoid it!" Masahiko Sakurai suddenly yelled like crazy, "Avoid it quickly!"
But it was too late. The people closest to Masahiko Sakurai quickly moved away, but the people closest to the drill hole had no time to avoid it. After the drill bit was withdrawn from the drill hole, a ghostly howl sounded in the dark drill hole.
Screaming, red-yellow mud spewed out of the drilled hole like a spring, and several construction workers were splashed.
Masahiko Sakurai looked at the red-yellow mud that was still spewing out. A thick white mist was coming out of the mud. This meant that the temperature of the mud itself was quite high, and the concentration of the mud was very low. It had no viscosity at all. The whole thing was like
It's as thin as water... The weirdest thing is its color. The mud should be an earthy yellow like normal muddy water, but the muddy water in front of them at this moment is more like the color of blood. This means that the water contains rich iron substances, sporadic
Dots of silver-blue light flickered in the red mud, like stars fished out of the ground.
"Stay away from those glowing things in the mud!" Masahiko Sakurai yelled, "Take off your clothes and mask! Don't touch them! Hurry!"
Several construction workers who had been splashed by muddy water wiped the mud with their bare hands while taking off their clothes. When they came into contact with those silver-blue light spots, they couldn't help but look closer and found that they were actually translucent strips.
Small fish.
Jagged bone spurs can be seen in the spindle-shaped, slender and transparent body of the small fish. The eyes have completely degenerated, and the scales on the body are in the shape of blue and transparent crystals... There are indeed some creatures and microorganisms in the underground river.
Because they have not seen light for many years, the eyes of these fish have deteriorated greatly, but it is hard to imagine that there are still fish existing three hundred meters underground, and in hot water adjacent to magma, such small fish
That humans can actually survive in such an extremely harsh environment is simply a miracle in the biological world.
The construction workers who came into contact with this kind of fish did not take them seriously, but not long after, someone started wailing like a pig, because the small fish opened their mouths in their eyes... To be precise,
Split open, the entire heads of those small fishes were opened, revealing their ice crystal-like fangs. It was unimaginable that such small fish could actually grow such ferocious and slender fangs, which were like the saw teeth of a devil, filling their mouths.
The entire mouth.
If these fish are still rare animals that can arouse people's desire to collect when they don't open their mouths, then when they open their mouths and reveal their sharp teeth, they are as scary as the devil's pets.
They use their fangs to gnaw at the places in contact with the skin of the construction workers, and blood gushes out quickly under their fangs. They gnaw a bloody hole in the human body just like a hole in a ripe cheese cake.
easy.
"What the hell is this! Oh my god!" The construction workers screamed in horror and pain, "They are... they are gnawing at my bones!"
The project commander stumbled out of the medical box in an attempt to rescue the construction workers, but was pushed away by Sakurai Masahiko. Sakurai Masahiko pulled out a long knife, and without any explanation he cut open the joints between the construction workers and the strange fish.
Part... cut off the clothes when those strange fish are attached to the clothes, cut off the arms when the fish have penetrated into the arms, and if there are strange fish into the head or chest of a person, Masahiko Sakurai will not hesitate to kill them
Kill that person.
"Sakurai-kun! What are you doing!" the engineering commander shouted with red eyes, "These are all lives! You are killing people, do you know?"
"No, I am saving people!" Sakurai Masahiko responded calmly, "If you don't kill these people, everyone present will die!"
Until Masahiko Sakurai killed the last person who had been drilled into the body by the strange fish and kicked him into the drill hole, the shadows of those silver-blue strange fish could no longer be seen on the land. Finally, he ordered to pour gasoline on the surrounding area.
After starting a fire and completely sealing the dark drill hole, Masahiko Sakurai finally threw away the long knife with relief and breathed a sigh of relief... Finally, he caught up and prevented everyone present from being wiped out.
"What the hell is that?" the engineering commander asked with lingering fear as he sat down, narrated by Sakurai Masahiko.
"The mythical creature, the Ghost-toothed Dragon Viper." Sakurai Masahiko spit out this taboo name, "We have found the target, but we almost paid a huge price for it...Thanks to you all, you are so foresighted!"
If Caesar and others were present, they would have discovered that this strange fish was the dragon subspecies Ghost-toothed Dragon Viper they discovered in the depths of the Abyss aboard the Diriast. Masahiko Sakurai returned to the Snake Qihachi family and obtained it.
The only instruction is to stop all drilling work in the Tama River because there are ghost-toothed dragon vipers in the Akaki River.
The ruins of the Age of Gods are at their feet, but this forbidden civilization has not yet opened... This was Lu Mingfei's solemn confession to Minamoto Chisheng after the meeting at Kabukiza.
