The Dyrieste passed by the side of the tower, and Chu Zihang copied the reliefs and those strange words.

Those that appear to be hieroglyphs, made up of serpentine curves. The text and relief are integrated into one, like a monstrous beast entwining the quadrangular tower.

Up close, the tower has a distinctly metallic texture, and although tiny rust-like shellfish cover most of the surface, there are still some places that are as bright as mirrors, so the surface of the tower is strongly reflective.

If it hadn't served as a signpost, Caesar wouldn't have discovered the city on the seabed across a ridge of the seabed.

"A metal tower, soaked in extremely salty seawater, without any rust." Caesar said.

"With such a tall tower, the body of the tower is actually formed in one piece, without any seams, and it cannot be done with human technology today." Chu Zihang said, "This is not only an ancient city of the Dragon Clan, but it may even be a royal city. ”

"Maybe it's the home of that embryo, which returns here to hatch again." Caesar said, "It's time to activate the brimstone bomb." Luckily, not only did I find the ruins of the dragon city, but the embryo is still quiet. All that's left is to find the embryo and drop the bomb. ”

"Call Sumeru, call Sumeru." He connected to Gen Zhisheng's channel, "Did you see that? Did you see that? ”

"We see that the Norma system and the Radiant Moon system are saving and analyzing the videos and pictures you have sent back. All you have to do now is control the camera to point in different directions, and every second of the video you shoot is priceless, and this is the first time we have directly observed the ancient dragon city. This is first-hand information about our research on dragon history and culture, and Professor Schneider is writing an email to report this discovery to the Principal and the Board of Trustees. Depending on the oxygen stock, you will still be able to move underwater for 30 minutes, so hurry up and look for embryos. Yuan Zhisheng said. The embryo should be in this ruin, yes, but where do we find this city so big? ”

"The Dyriaeste has a sonar system, you can try to use the sonar to search for its heartbeat."

Caesar turned on the sonar system, and the Dirieste began to receive sound signals from all directions.

Seawater is an excellent medium of sound, sound waves are the most powerful tool for underwater exploration, with the technical strength of the equipment department can capture the heartbeat signal of the embryo on the sea surface, then the Diaeste near the embryo should be able to locate the embryo very accurately by relying on sonar.

"Strange, there's a lot of clutter." Caesar frowned, "There seems to be an echo here, and you can search for regular heartbeats in all directions. ”

"There are only two possibilities, one is that the embryos of the dragon clan can be mass-produced, we can wash and go home to sleep, and no one can stop the dragon from dominating the world." Lu Mingfei said. "The other is that this ruin is an embryo!"

"The embryo can't be the size of an entire city, it should be its heartbeat that resonates in the ruins." Caesar said, "Let's look for it again." ”

"Look at that thing in front of you, doesn't it look like a torii?" Chu Zihang pointed ahead.

Directly in front of the submersible is a sloping building, which does resemble a torii gate in front of a Japanese shrine, and there is a small torii gate in the temple. This is actually a very simple structure, with two pillars supporting the beams and fangs, and visitors to the shrine have to walk under the torii.

However, in the eyes of the priests, the torii gate is actually a symbol of enchantment, and once you walk through the torii, you enter the world of the gods.

Usually the torii gate is made of rock or vermilion wooden pillars, but the surface of the building has a blue-black glow, and it looks like a tall tower made of metal, and even the largest Senbon torii gate in the Fushimi area of Kyoto is less than 10 meters tall, but this torii-like structure is nearly 50 meters high, giving the impression that the first person who passed under the building must have been a burly giant.

Presumably during the eruption of an undersea volcano, the hot magma invaded the area, and the road below the building was filled with black volcanic rock, and the building itself was half melted, and the molten iron flowed downward, condensing into jagged iron teeth.

Chu Zihang adjusted the focus of the underwater telescope, and the ancient patterns on the surface of the building were revealed, which was a realistic style of carving, this kind of detailed information was undoubtedly extremely precious, and Caesar turned the camera to take pictures.

A few seconds later, the photo was transmitted to the central control room of the headquarters and displayed on a large screen. Schneider and Manstein were people who had come into contact with many dragon antiquities, but they were still shocked by such detailed carvings.

Paintings, carvings, and writing are the most valuable antiquities, from which it is possible to infer the ancient civilizations that have been extinct, from the way of life to the beliefs, from the level of craftsmanship to the political system.

Archaeologists have found murals of Egyptians rowing canoes in the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs, but Egypt is a desert today, and there will be no water civilization with boats on the Nile River alone, so archaeologists believe that this is an Egyptian fantasy, because they were born in arid areas, so they expect to be born in the next life in a place with dense rivers.

But ancient meteorologists found that Egypt was a humid and rainy place with a rich network of rivers in ancient times, and the Egyptians did need to use canoes often, which was not a fantasy but the real life of the ancient Egyptians, and the Egyptians believed that the pharaoh would take a solar boat to the underworld after death, and in that era, the boat was actually the only means of transportation between the north and south of Egypt.

These carvings depict thousands of ghosts and gods fighting at war, whose images have never been seen in any civilization, and if that war had ever been a war and not a fiction, it would have been more tragic than any other war in human history.

"The image of a human body with a snake tail is very rare." Manstein said.

"I only remember the image of the human body and the snake tail in ancient civilizations, including the Naga of India, the Nuwa of China and the Medusa of ancient Greece." Schneider said, "There is no record of a dragon appearing in the form of a human body with a snake tail. ”

The various ghosts and gods in the carving are depicted in the image of human body and snake tails, and because it is a realistic style, it can be imagined that the monsters with human body snake tails wrap around each other's necks, spewing poisonous flames, and wielding deadly swords at the same time.

The scenes of that war are too realistic and too bizarre to be so imaginative.

"Is it really a dragon ancient city?" "We guess it's an ancient dragon city because human civilization can't build that tower." ”

"There are so many surprising things that I can't digest for a while." Schneider said, "Although the opportunity is rare, I have a very uneasy feeling that it is almost time to return home, and now that the city has been located, there is still a chance to dive down to solve the problem of the embryo." ”

Manstein's face suddenly changed as he stared at the picture on the big screen. "Door...... The torii gate is a kind of door! Hell, they really did see the door underwater! ”

Great fear exploded in Schneider's heart. Yes, the torii gate is actually a gate, except that it is a symbolic gate like the Arc de Triomphe, and it is not connected to the wall, but it is a gate because it distinguishes the inside and the outside!

They were so immersed in the astonishing discovery that they forgot about the door, and except for the watertight compartment malfunction, everything went smoothly, allowing them to let their guard down a little.

The story of eleven years ago is being re-enacted, diving, discovering the door, and heading towards it...... The video shows the Ditrieste heading straight for the torii, and in Schneider's eyes, the eerie structure immediately turns into a twisted maw that threatens to devour everything.

"Don't come closer! Don't come closer! Return! Return! He yelled uncontrollably, the spiritual imprint of eleven years ago was too deep, and he couldn't control himself at all at this moment.

No one answered, the communication channel was so quiet that people were frightened, Gen Zhisheng did not speak, the Dirieste did not move, and even the Japanese branch of the Tetsuki Ji system did not answer.

"Report to Professor Schneider, five seconds ago, the Hui Yue Ji system and I were disconnected, and all our contact with the Japanese branch and the Di Trieste was lost, and I was trying to repair it, but the Hui Yue Ji system did not answer." Norma's voice echoed through the central control room, and Schneider watched in shock as the point of light in the waters of Japan went out on the big screen.

"It looks like a Japanese ghost picture." Caesar said.

"It's incredible," Chu Zihang said, "we clearly arrived at an ancient dragon city, but these carvings do have a strong Japanese style, and the architectural features also have a Japanese feel." ”

"Didn't our high school history teacher say that Japan was enlightened late? Otherwise, they would not be so envious of our civilization in Datang, and sent so many Tang envoys to Datang to nibble on dry rice dumplings for further study. Lu Mingfei said, "How can the Japanese have such an advanced ancient civilization? ”

The Dirieste hovered in front of the building, not passing underneath, and Caesar controlled the air chamber to suck in some of the seawater, stabilizing the submersible.

He didn't associate what was in front of him with the door, just because there were too many details on the torii-shaped building, and Chu Zihang needed to take some time to take pictures of all the details.

Caesar himself thought that this location was good, so he took out his mobile phone and took a selfie by the observation window, and he would not let go of the rare opportunity to take a photo with the historical site.

"Those are Longwen, and then we will invite Norma, a professional translator of Longwen, to appear!" Lu Mingfei pointed to the serpentine pattern in the center of the torii gate and said.

The pattern is somewhere between the graphic and the text, and at first glance it looks like countless small people dancing around the bonfire, and the scene is grand and jubilant.

This pattern is the first time it has appeared in the ruins of an ancient city, and it is very different from the text on the tower.

"We have a little problem with our communication with the headquarters, probably because the sunspot outbreak has affected the communication equipment. The Rock Flow Research Institute is urgently repairing. "The voice of the source of the child was transmitted in the headphones, "But this work can also be done by Kazuki Hime, her work mode is very close to Norma, and she can also call up the library materials from all over the world." ”

It is very rare for the connection between the commissioner and Norma to be interrupted, and this time the Longyuan plan was directly formulated by the executive department and directly controlled by Professor Schneider, and the Japanese branch was only a facilitator, but at this time, it was actually disconnected from the headquarters.

This means that they will not receive direct orders from the headquarters until contact is restored, but can the opinion of the field commander Gen Zhisheng represent the opinion of Professor Schneider?

The three of Caesar's group nodded tacitly, they knew that they had been abandoned, Lu Mingfei was right, they were used, and they were ruthlessly stabbed into the dragon's body by the Japanese branch as a knife.

Killing an embryo that might be a king with the lives of three people, such a good deal to find it!

Lu Mingfei temporarily blocked the communication between the Diriaste and the Sumeru.

"What now?" Lu Mingfei asked Caesar and Chu Zihang, looking at the torii.

"Running away from the battlefield is not my style!" Caesar said, "It's their business to betray us, but this time with such a close contact with the dragons, and possibly the embryo of one of the four great kings, I can't give up." ”

Caesar, as a nobleman, also had a noble code of conduct, between honor and profit, he preferred the latter, even at the cost of his life.

Caesar Gattuso could accept anyone to betray him once, he had the strength to withstand betrayal, but when he endured the bitter consequences of betrayal, then what awaited him would be the wrath of a king!

Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Zihang silently, the latter was unmoved, just holding his own knife.

"It's been a long time since I've been so crazy, it's so nostalgic!" Lu Mingfei sighed, "Norma has been blocked by Hui Yueji, these two artificial intellectual disables are comparable in computing power, we can be said to be isolated!" ”

"Those can talk about your backhand now!" Caesar stared at Lu Mingfei.

"There is no backhand, I just changed the nuclear bomb launch procedure, originally Sumeru can directly control the nuclear bomb we have here, but after my modification, we can freely control the launch of the nuclear bomb." Lu Mingfei looked at Caesar with pity, "It's a pity that you forgot your password." ”

Caesar scratched his head a little embarrassed, "We can bypass the nuclear bomb code and launch it manually!" ”

"Do you know where this is?" Chu Zihang's eyes forced Lu Mingfei.

"Chu Zihang, is your head short of oxygen? This hasn't run out of oxygen yet! ”

"No, he would."

Caesar looked at Lu Mingfei inquiringly. Lu Mingfei nodded, "The words on it just now are Takamagahara, the place where the gods live in Japanese mythology. ”

At this moment, the Diriaeste passed under the huge torii gate and slipped into the dark shadows that the lava could not illuminate.

I don't know if it's an illusion, the moment the deep submersible passed by the torii, Lu Mingfei seemed to hear countless people moaning hoarsely, like a bloody ghost in hell.

The ruins shook, and the shells of the rubble and dead lung snails slowly rose with the water, striking against the shell of the Diliyaste with a dull sound.

Luming is not unshielded. "Undersea earthquakes? Call Sumeru! Call Sumeru! Have you detected an undersea earthquake? ”

"Call the Diriaeste, call the Diriaste, no shaking was detected on the bottom of the sea, and the Seismological Bureau did not release news about the undersea earthquake." Yuan Zhisheng said.

"But the ruins are shaking, isn't this an undersea earthquake, what else could it be?"

Yuan Zhisheng was silent for a few seconds. "Maybe the embryo is aware of the looming danger and is trying to wake up. Are you suffering from nerve disturbances? ”

"I think it's okay, our group of nobles is still noble, killing embryos or killing embryos, it looks normal."

"Your oxygen stock can last for 15 minutes, which is a rare opportunity. The embryo should be struggling to wake up, and it cannot be allowed to wake up, seize this opportunity to obliterate it. "I just had a phone call with Professor Schneider, and he meant to do everything possible to erase the embryos. If it struggles to wake up this time, it will be free, and we will no longer be able to hunt it easily. ”

"Has anyone told you the trick of lying?" Lu Mingfei smiled.

There was silence on the other side. "Sorry, you're heroes! If you can come back alive, I am willing to accept the punishment of the betrayal of the family, if it is unfortunate...... I will personally worship you when I am clear. ”

When Gen Zhisheng ascended to the highest point of Sumeru, searchlights hit him in all directions, and the helicopter group of the Wind Group, the marine police boat group of the Fire Group, and the fishing boat group of the Lin Group all surrounded the floating platform where the Mountain Group was located.

The helicopter opened the hatch, and the bow of the ship was full of young men in black, everyone's eyes were on Yuan Zhisheng, thousands of raindrops reflected the light, and the long black windbreaker danced, and Yuan Zhisheng seemed to be standing in the light and rain.

"Gentlemen!" He looked around. The sound spread far away over the sea, and six floating platforms were playing what he said.

"Please!" He bowed deeply.

He should have uttered the stirring vow, but suddenly he didn't want to say anything.

It was all so heavy that it almost crushed him.

The history of the Eight Clans of Snakes, the undersea city where the gods were buried, the ambition to destroy the fierce ghosts, and the ideal of ending violence were all on his shoulders at this moment, but his heavy Pinta Island tortoise was already very tired and tired.

Ambition, passion, or the quest for power were not the reasons for this, and he climbed this heavy mountain only because he was a tortoise with a heavy load.

Giant tortoises are like this, they only know how to climb, but they can't turn over and unload the weight on their backs.

Tonight is destined to be a bloody night, and no one can stay out of it, so let it begin, and the bloody storm will blow from here to the shores of Japan.

"Hay!" Thousands of people bowed in unison.

The camouflage was stripped away, triple rapid-fire guns, large-caliber machine guns and torpedo tubes were exposed, and the fishing boats planted depth charges in a spiral shape, which automatically suspended at a depth of 100 meters, forming a complete defensive net.

They were originally designed to be used as ambushes for small submarines, but now they are being used to intercept more dangerous things.

The heavy industry enterprises under the Eight Snakes were originally designed and manufactured by the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, and if they were not afraid of legal sanctions, they could arm an army anytime and anywhere.

These weapons are loaded with specially crafted ammunition, the bullets and shells contain liquid mercury in their warheads, which release large amounts of mercury vapor when they hit their targets, and torpedo warheads with intricate patterns that explode and release fragments large enough to slice through the dragon's body.

Gen Zhisheng himself carried a heavy sniper rifle, although the lethality of this sniper rifle was nothing compared to the equipment on the helicopter and the ship, but since it was a war that no one could stay out of, then he was unwilling to hide in the depths of Sumeru.

Sakura walked behind Genji. "A slight earthquake of magnitude 3.2 has occurred in the abyss, and the sacred burial place is waking up."

"The ancestors really didn't die completely." Yuan Zhisheng whispered, "All these years, they don't want to escape from the forbidden land and return to the world, right? ”

"There's no way that could happen." Sakura said, "We're fully prepared, and we still have Miss Eri. ”

"There's still some time to float up from the burial place to the surface, so go and rest. I continued to talk to the diving team. ”

"Norma System keeps calling the Hui Yue Ji system, Hui Yue Ji is using various methods to disguise herself in the maintenance, and Schneider can't be sure what happened in a short time, but he always reacts."

"It doesn't matter anymore, after tonight, the alliance between the Eight Snakes and the Secret Party will be over. It would be nice to stop him from establishing contact with the Diriaste within an hour. ”

"Understood."
