Chapter 189: The Nibelungen in the Abyss
There was a hint of regret on Caesar's face, but it was a pity that another good seedling was poached early by the Lionheart. Immediately, he looked at Chu Zihang: "Okay, it seems that our S-level junior disciple supports continuing the mission, so what about you?" ”
"I don't think you need to ask this kind of question." Chu Zihang said lightly.
Caesar smiled: "Yes, then it will be unanimously approved and continue to implement the 'Dragon Yuan' plan." ”
"By the way, did you notice a red light coming in from outside?" Lu Mingfei's voice was a little heavy, as if he had discovered something terrible.
Caesar and Chu Zihang were both silent, and they were also aware of the problem.
The Dirieste is now power-off, with only the warning lights on the dashboard flashing red, while they can clearly see each other's faces......
"It's the light coming in from the porthole!" Caesar threw himself in front of a porthole with an expression of disbelief on his face, "What a miracle! ”
7,900 meters away in the depths of the ocean, there should have been a dead silence, and this should be a dark world. But unexpectedly, it is illuminated by warm red lights, where countless lives are conceived and reproduced.
This is just above the Japan Trench, with a relatively gentle seabed on the left, steep and craggy cliffs on the right, and the Grand Canyon in the middle formed by the collision of the Eurasian plate and the Pacific plate, with a huge red rift at the bottom, which is a "wound" in the earth's crust. From time to time, magma gushes out of the "wounds", blending with the water to form crimson rock formations, echoing with a thunderous roar.
Surprisingly, this sea water shrouded in red light like a sunset is full of life, and a school of thousands of fish swims in this sunset-like water, like a flying fish flying in the sunset, sometimes spiraling into the air and sometimes leaning down, the shining fish scales such as silver, such as sapphire, the color is ever-changing.
If you look closely, you can see that there are several huge red turtles directly in front of the fish, swimming awkwardly with their winged fins, and the fish behind them follow the turtles like chasing stars, and they seem to be not afraid of turtles at all.
In the food chain, sea turtles, although not natural enemies of fish, occasionally prey on small fish, feeding on fish, cephalopods, crustaceans and seaweed, especially squid and poisonous jellyfish, seaweed. However, although turtles prey on small fish, they rarely scare them away, and sometimes they even cling to them. The turtles don't chase them away, because the schools of fish also come to feed, and they are looking for parasites attached to the turtles, feeding on the parasites on the turtles, just like woodpeckers and crocodiles, so the turtles don't chase them away.
In just a few minutes, the three of them were like watching a marine biology science and education film, and they saw countless marine creatures that they had never seen before, even if there were a few sea creatures they knew, there would be many differences from their cognition. For example, the manta ray with a black-and-white exoskeleton, the turtle shell that resembles a cracked red basalt, and the highly poisonous jellyfish with blood lines
Most of these fish they had never seen before, and even if they resembled some fish, they were very different, such as the manta ray, which had a black and white exoskeleton on its head, which made it look like one of the helmeted dragons in fantasy; The dorsal carapace of the turtle is not hard but fleshy, like cracked red basalt.
This vast and brilliant scene completely subverted the worldview of the three people. No one ever thought that there was such a fantastic beauty at a depth of 8,000 meters.
"Dragon-king whales, dragons, megalodons, lamellars, Krolosaurus, leeds, ichthyosaurs, glamydont, dunklefish, swordfish, odd shrimps, horseshoe crabs, Melville whales, although there are many differences in appearance from the fossil simulations made by scientists, they should be them...... It's an aquarium of extinct sea creatures! Caesar rubbed his eyes, a little suspicious of the scene in front of him.
Chu Zihang looked at the source of the red light, took a deep breath and said: "That should be the hatchery chosen by the dragons, it is indeed an excellent choice to use the exposed mantle layer as a hatchery, trillions of tons of magma are stored there, and the sufficient heat is converted into the energy required for embryonic hatching, so that the embryo's hatching is accelerated." Moreover, I am afraid that neither humans nor dragons would have imagined that there would be a dragon embryo in such a place. ”
Lu Mingfei blinked his eyes and asked like a studious student, "Two senior brothers, it stands to reason that there shouldn't be any large sea creatures in this place?" Why are there so many marine creatures that have been extinct for hundreds of millions of years? ”
Caesar looked at Chu Zihang with an embarrassed expression, his academic performance was not enough to answer such a question, he had just recognized that those extinct sea creatures were only able to pretend when he took Nuno to the aquarium, so he learned a little about marine life.
Chu Zihang pinched his chin, lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "I can't say for sure, but the biggest possibility should be that the dragon embryo has reconstructed the ecological environment here, plus the sufficient energy here can speed up the evolution of marine creatures, so those marine creatures that have been extinct for hundreds of millions of years because of the environment will reappear in the water." As for the purpose, I guess that one is to hide the location of the embryo; The second is to use these fish as a food reserve for the frail period after embryonic resuscitation. ”
"Why do I have the feeling that you are saying that we are also one of the food reserves......" Lu Mingfei Lu Mingfei leaned on an intact porthole and spit out a groove lightly, "Eh, wait, is there a shipwreck there?" ”
"Elephant tortoise, let go of the safety line a little more, and send us down slowly."
Caesar called out to the source of the Sumeru seat, they can now slowly dive down all thanks to the safety rope tied to the Dirieste little by little, bumpy and upside down, fortunately the amplitude is very small, otherwise the three of them are afraid to vomit out again.
"Roger! Be safe, you've broken through the 8,000-metre ......"
There was a murmur in the voice channel, and Chu Zihang suddenly felt that a certain position on his shoulder was heating up, and suddenly turned his head and grabbed the microphone: "Yuan Zhisheng!" Gen Zhisheng! Call the Sumeru group! ”
Caesar and Lu Mingfei were taken aback by Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei just wanted to say something bad and complain about the communication signal, but saw Chu Zihang raise his head. Chu Zihang didn't know when he turned on the third degree of bloodstorm, and his body with his back to them was already covered with smooth scales at the moment, his face was hideous, and his golden eyes illuminated the cockpit.
Lu Mingfei looked at Chu Zihang's appearance as if he was going to choose someone to devour, and was startled: "Chu ...... Senior Brother Chu ......"
Caesar also frowned and looked at Chu Zihang, he had never seen Chu Zihang lose his temper like this, this beast-like expression almost subverted his perception of Chu Zihang, until he said four words.
"Nibelungen." Chu Zihang said hoarsely, "No need to question...... This is definitely the Nibelungen. ”
In this world, I am afraid that there are few people who know more about the Nibelungen than him, and if they do, they will definitely not know how to judge whether they have entered the Nibelungen than him. But, if he could, he would rather not know about this land of the dead for the rest of his life, because this understanding was paid for by one of the most important people in his life.
The Odin brand on his shoulder was still faintly hot, and Chu Zihang's hands were firmly grasping the handle of the knife at his waist.
Caesar didn't speak, but walked over to the megaphone and released the Scythe.
The Delriaste was still diving as the safety line was lowered, but there was no response.
In Caesar's hearing, there was no sound of speech in the loudspeaker, only the frightening, hollow murmur of noise, as if coming from the far end of the world, like the man standing on the other side of the Yellow Spring Hirazaka and the undead who fell into the Yellow Spring Hirazaka, and one could only hear the piercing screams of the undead.
However, for the trio at this moment, they are the ones who fell into the Yellow Springs Hirazaka, and the undead seem to be quietly approaching them. Caesar shuddered fiercely, the first time he entered the Nibelungen, he fell into this land of the dead, he had some doubts about whether they were alive or dead at the moment when they entered the land of the dead that the living could not enter, he did not dare to assert.
As if seeing the horror in Caesar and Lu Mingfei's hearts, Chu Zihang explained: "The Nibelungen is not so much an independent alien space or illusion, but an extension of the human world, very similar to the human world, but completely different from it. It can be understood as a modified human world, a paradoxical space, between reality and illusion, and if you find that there are rules around you that change, then it is the Nibelungen that has opened. As for the legend, the living cannot enter the Nibelungen, but the owner of the Nibelungen usually does not let the living in, and those who enter it will either die or become Deadpool, so this is the reason for the name "Land of the Dead". ”
Hearing Chu Zihang say this, Caesar also put his mind at ease, began to look around curiously, and looked out of the porthole with Lu Mingfei. After all, the experience of entering the Nibelungen is probably unique in the world, and it is also something that countless alchemists dream of.
Lu Mingfei didn't show much fear, before his parents left at the age of twelve, he always thought that his parents were the kind of scientists who needed to go out for expeditions often, so he was still a little interested in such things as exploration.
"I didn't understand it too much, but I feel that the so-called Nibelungen is so low, and I feel that it has no effect other than cutting off our connection with the tortoise."
"Are you sure? We've been diving, heading towards the embryonic hatchery, approaching the exposed mantle layer. ”
Caesar and Lu Mingfei suddenly realized the meaning of Chu Zihang's words, and looked at the thermometer, the number on the display screen was -20 degrees Celsius, how could this be!
However, according to the water pressure here and the high temperature released by the magma flowing from the mantle layer, the boiling point of the water may even exceed 500 degrees Celsius, which means that the Dirieste is now in the sea water at least 300 degrees Celsius, which is equivalent to stuffing them into a giant pressure cooker to steam, but they don't feel the heat at all?
Because no one has ever come down, it is speculated that the bottom of the abyss must be an extremely low temperature environment, so the combat uniforms they wear not only have an anti-pressure effect, but also contain a warmth effect. But in such an environment, they who continue to wear combat uniforms will definitely suffer from heat stroke, how can they not even sweat a drop!
"The essence of speech is to modify the rules by mastering the elements, and the same is true of the Nibelungen. The rules in the Nibelungen, a special space that continues from the human world, are also different from the outside, originally a high temperature of 300 degrees Celsius, but now it has become -20 degrees Celsius, which is a modification of the rules. ”
"Wait, don't talk yet!" Caesar stretched out his hand to signal the two to be quiet.
Caesar's ice-blue eyes were closed, and his face became more and more pale: "In the realm of the sickle, it seems that many unknown creatures are approaching!" ”
"Fish?"
"Maybe, if the fish can stop their hearts......
Sumeru
“TMD!” Yuan Zhisheng threw the walkie-talkie to the ground with a gloomy face, and they completely lost contact with the Diriaeste, and all that was answered by his shouts was endless noise, "Pull up the safety line!" Fast! ”
"Less...... Young Lord! A member of the mountain group trembled, "Safety Sola can't come up!" The force of the winch cannot pull the safety line, like a ...... It's like someone is pulling hard down there! ”
"Young master! The sonar detector has detected a large number of unknown objects floating from the bottom of the sea! ”
Another member of the mountain group relayed the sonar sonar's findings, and not far away there was already a burst of gunfire.
"Serpent's Tail Body! It's a corpse guard, at least 7,000, maybe even tens of thousands! ”
Gen Zhisheng gasped, legend has it that the corpses of dragons will not decay for many years after death, except for the first generation. So dragons will collect the corpses of their own kind and concoct them to create guardians who only know how to obey orders. This forbidden technique was once mastered by the pharaohs of ancient Egypt, who thought it was a mysterious technique that would immortalize them, and used it on their own corpses and those of their nobles, but they only preserved the corpse, but could not preserve the vitality of the corpse's tissues and organs.
"Sound the alarm! Notify all members of the four groups of Fenglin Volcano to be on alert, and fire directly when encountering unknown creatures, no need to report! ”
The warning lights on the Sumeru seat were all lit up, the searchlights were spinning, and the storm raged on the surface of the sea, and the lights illuminated the boiling sea. The bullet chain slipped into the chamber, the torpedo warmed up, the hive rocket began to idle, the sirens became more and more intense, and all eyes were on the sea.
These weapons were originally used to deal with the attacks of the fierce ghosts, but they were unexpectedly used against the corpses.
Yuan Zhisheng put on the headphones and walked into the main control room of the Sumeru seat. Dense dots of light had already lit up on the sonar detection display, which were the vanguard of corpses, about seven or eight hundred heads.
"Miyamoto family master, please!"
Miyamoto Shio ignored Gen Zhisheng, although this is a bit disrespectful, but everyone up and down the Snake Qi Eight family knows that the head of the Miyamoto family is a character, and once he encounters something very important, he will ignore all interference, even if it is a life crisis.
On the sonar detection display, another group of dense light spots fell into the sea like a large net, rushing towards the group of corpses that were floating up.
It was a depth charge that had been modified by the Rock Flow Research Institute and the Equipment Department, and although it did not contain mercury and other lethal components to dragon creatures, it was definitely powerful.
"It's ......," Miyamoto muttered with his head down.
