The Sea of Japan Trench, somewhere in the sea. A ship wrapped in strange bubbles is speeding through the sea unusually. At the helm of the ship, there is no place where I can't go as long as it is on the sea, even in the sea, the soot is the same and looks ahead with a pipe in my mouth.

Lying on the side of the ship, Menek looked at the underwater scenery that would feel fresh at first, but after a long time, he felt tired and sighed: "The cowherd shop also has a nightclub full of beautiful girls...... It's so nice, I'd like to check it out, too. ”

"It's just the land of fireworks and willow lane, there's nothing to see." Lu Shanyan on the other side glanced back at him.

"The people in the capital are well-informed, so naturally they will not be surprised by these places." Menek continued to lie on the side of the ship and said, "Pity me, Mei, who grew up in an unknown part of Germany, and has never seen the world as it is now. ”

"Your present behavior is called Versailles."

"Versailles? But I've really been. At that time, the person in charge of the Palace of Versailles, in order to curry favor with me and let me invest, directly announced the closure of the museum for a week, so that I could experience the life of a Bourbon king. It's a pity that you weren't there at the time and couldn't be with me. ”

"That's kind of a government thing, right? Will you still be looking for a German to invest? ”

"Didn't there be a fight at that time, besides, no museum could refuse the price I offered, although I went in there to find a lost alchemy item, and I didn't plan to really invest it......"

In the midst of small talk, Queen Anne's Revenge quietly sailed deeper. The bubbles covering the exterior of the ship were filled with golden runes that illuminated the darkening waters nearby.

After an unknown amount of time, the depth is now more than 8,000 meters below sea level, reaching about the height of Mount Everest, the highest peak on land. But in front of them it was still pitch black, and there was no sense of reaching the deepest part at all.

】

“…… It's so quiet. The ghost couldn't help but say as she touched the giant wolf beside her, "said the guardian spirit of the earth, who could not feel any trace of life here. ”

In the infinite darkness, there were only bubbles rising from the bottomless abyss, and nothing else. The light could not shine, the sound could not be heard, and the living ocean was like a dead place, much quieter than the Nibelungen that the dragons had built themselves...... It's a lot weirder, too.

If the Leviathan's invasion caused all the creatures here to flee, then the Leviathan and the mysterious heartbeat are gone, and there is still a dead silence here, then this is really weird.

"There's something up ahead!" The tiger, who was standing on the bow of the ship and looking down, said suddenly.

With the powerful vision granted by the Archer rank, he can see far in such a lightless environment. Of course, it's very reluctant.

Below them, there was a huge pillar that did not look like it could be created by the natural environment, standing crookedly above the pitch-black strait. A handful of light shone on the pillar, illuminating the disgusting sarcoma that looked like animal tissue above, and the reflective metal shell below, with some faint words on it.

Menek recognized the letters written by the tiger: "It's in Russian...... It was written about Lenin. ”

"The Lehring? That's Russia...... No, it should have been a Soviet ship, why did it sink here? The chief asked with a frown, looking at the approaching wreckage and said, "Moreover, the ship looks like it is parasitic." ”

Lu Shanyan was equally worried: "If I'm not mistaken, this ship is being exhibited in a certain port in Russia, right?" Because it was the first nuclear-powered ship, I paid more attention to it. ”

"The same ship is renamed and a new ship is renewed, and in the same way, the name of an old ship is given to a new ship of the same model, and no one will recognize it...... Well, wait, parasitism? Menek suddenly looked up and looked at the Lenin, which was getting closer and closer, with the disgusting sarcoma that enveloped the entire hull.

The center of these sarcomas is visibly missing, leaving a notch revealing the name underneath as if someone had bitten it.

"That heartbeat probably came from this shipwreck." Menek nodded and said, "So devouring his guy......"

The tiger took his words: "Leviathan?" So where did he hide? ”

Lu Shanyan said suddenly: "No, I think it may be too early to draw conclusions now." ”

The huge shipwreck stood like a roadmark, or a tombstone, on top of a cliff under the sea. Judging from the rubble scattered around it, it probably wasn't here before, at least until last night, as if someone had pulled it out and thrown it here.

Skimming past the eerie wreck, Queen Anne's Vengeance continued to slide forward, and as it crossed the cliff, a hint of red light suddenly moved out of the seabed. Illuminates a dark ocean floor.

It is an undersea volcano that spreads for thousands of meters like a scar. Countless lit craters are spraying lava, and the hot lava is evaporated in the seawater, making a thunderous sound, and then turning into large and small bubbles and floating towards the surface of the sea.

"Are we reaching the deepest part of the Earth's surface?" The ghost asked suddenly.

"Add one and forget it." Menek nodded.

Suddenly, the surprise scene made everyone silent, quietly watching the magma at the bottom of the sea churning in the sea.

If it were just such an undersea volcano with magma, maybe they wouldn't have made it look like this. But if one of these undersea volcanoes is a huge city made entirely of metal, looming in the midst of the vanishing magma, then whoever it is will fall into deep self-doubt.

"Japan Branch...... You've really got the awesome East XZ up. Menek muttered, then he looked at the soot at the helm, "Come closer, we'll have to take a good look at this thing." This sea is so quiet, it has absolutely nothing to do with it! ”

This magical city like the kingdom of God is still some distance away from them, and even Lu Shanyan and the tiger can only see a huge tower erected in the center of the city. They understood that it was not a real tower, but a "history book" of the dragons. They are used to recording everything on huge metal pillars,

"I'd love to do that...... though," Soot replied, and then suddenly slapped the rudder in front of him, "Stand firm!" Something's coming! ”

Immediately after, a huge column of magma erupted from a crater somewhere. It ignored the ubiquitous waters around it, and like a giant hand, it clawed straight at Queen Anne's Vengeance. The Queen Anne flicked its tail and crossed the incoming magma giant in extreme danger. Then there was another clang, and it slammed into another magma pillar blocked in front of it.

Outside the hull, above the bubble-like shield, golden runes shimmered, shielding the magma from the astonishingly hot temperature. But that didn't make the people on board much happier, as there were more magma giants poking out of the craters.

"I don't think it's like a Leviathan can do it. If Ronald and Conrad weren't on our side, I would have suspected that they would be in that city. Lu Shanyan looked at the lava beasts that were outflanking around him, and drew his gun faintly.

However, Menek reminded loudly: "Don't nag now, get ready!" The next wave is coming! ”

As soon as his words fell, the surrounding waters seemed to come to life, carrying magma that should have been completely incompatible with the water, and like a multi-headed dragon, it tore towards Queen Anne's revenge. The huge hull of the ship galloped through the red-lit water with a nimble movement that did not match its appearance, and the sea completely turned into an enemy, roaring to swallow the small old sailing ship in one gulp.

"It's always the Leviathan this time!" The tiger steered the fort towards the roaring dragon head outside the barrier, and the dragon head of the magma shattered, and then was swallowed by the dragon head made of seawater, and the roaring filial piety became even bigger and chased after it.

And beside him, the giant wolf summoned by the ghost lowered its head and roared. Directly opposite it, a huge mountain range, which had been hidden in the abyss, gradually rose, it was indescribably huge, like Mount Everest in the sea, and countless sharp spikes broke away from the huge peak, like torpedoes, towards Queen Anne's revenge.

Seeing this, the chieftain, who had always been heavy, couldn't help but shout: "What is it this time?" The king of the earth and the mountains? ”

It feels like the whole world is working against it, and no other creature can do it except the Dragon King!

"I think we might have broken into the dragon king's party, but two of them are on our side!" The tiger couldn't help but shout, "Who else is missing?" King of the Sky and the Wind? ”

Then the next second he wanted to pump his mouth as a loud bang exploded in the water. It wasn't the sound of the sea cooling the lava, but the real lightning exploding in the water. The electric snake with its teeth and claws outstretched joined the chase......

Flames, currents, rising peaks, and razers chased ships that had entered the area, and the trench, one of the deepest parts of the earth, was quiet again.

In the huge metal city in the distance, the houses are neat, the orderly streets are neatly spread out from the circular square with a huge tower in the center, not at all like the people who have been in this uninhabited land for an unknown number of years. Obviously, there could be no wind at the bottom of the sea, but there was an inexplicable sound of wind chimes in this metal city, like countless invisible residents, beating the sacrificial musical instruments and offering the music of resurrection to the unknown gods hidden in the city.

So in such a voice full of strange rhythms, a very faint, but extremely powerful heartbeat gradually sounded......

……

Unlike the earth-shattering sea, Tokyo is still bustling with activity. The scorching sun rising high made countless people wandering back on the street can't help but sigh, and the sunlight reflected on the high-rise buildings made them even more dazzling.

Genji Heavy Industries, somewhere on a classical terrace. The well-designed windowsill softens the sunlight that countless pedestrians hate, illuminates the few scents rising in the Japanese-style room, and the solemn faces of the heads of the eight families of the Snake Family.

"What's going on with Eri?" In the first place, Tachibana Masamune asked the waiter behind him.

The waiter bowed his head and said respectfully, "Miss is still in the room, and she doesn't want to come out." ”

"Is it a tantrum, or is it ...... Afraid? Tachibana Masamune let out a long sigh, "Forget it, don't force her, after all, she has never seen a existence like her before." ”

He also instructed the attendants: "Keep an eye on her state of mind at all times, for if you are stimulated at this time, it will be more than worth the loss." ”

"Yes." The waiter replied, and then bowed respectfully.

All the masters of the house were silent, and the ice that completely froze the sea surface completely melted in such a short period of time, and it was like a flame that would scorch even the soul with one step closer, which was no longer a force they could imagine.

Straightening his body, Tachibana Masamune said to the heads of the family who were sitting in a precarious position: "Okay, after a busy night, I guess you already have an idea of the purpose of gathering everyone to come non-stop. ”

"Yes," said Kotaro, the eldest of them all, in an extremely heavy tone, "...... The burial house, we still have to face it after all. ”

The noonday sun was still obscured by a cloud, and countless people on the street sincerely thanked the clouds for bringing coolness, but the Japanese-style room on the adjacent high-rise building was covered with a shadow that could not be erased. The burial house, that is, the thing they were looking for, sunk in that sea. With the name, the temperature in the room seemed to drop below freezing.

"The last time we were so nervous was when the Lenin sank in that area." "At that time, we were ready to do so, if the Lenin really affected the contents of the burial house and revived her, even if we revealed our secrets to the half-bloods of the world, we would drag her to death in the sea at all costs." ”

The "young" heads of the house looked at each other and had never heard of such a thing.

Inuyama, who is also the former owner of the Tamamo Club, explained, "That was almost 20 years ago, and even Mr. Masamune was still in exile at that time. ”

He continued with a dark gaze: "At that time, the Eight Snake Qi families...... There are only five of them. ”

"But it's different now, isn't it?" Tachibana Masamune said suddenly, "Now, we are a complete Snake Eight Family, and we are unprecedentedly powerful. We have Amaterasu, and we have Tsukiyomei, and ...... Su Zhan Wu respects his life. ”

"Suzhan Woozun......" Inuyama He silently read the name, then shook his head with a sigh, "Even if he is really of our race, he has been in exile for too long. I don't think he's going to be on our side, he's the old ...... It was discovered by Principal Angers, and no one knows Angers better than me, and the people he has educated may not allow us to exist. ”

"If it's a homeless, didn't I, as well as the child, and Erika, all be exiled at first, and then returned to the family?" Tachibana Masamune stood up suddenly, "Leave this to me, I once found Naisho and Eri, and now, it's time to take him home." ”

"After all," he said, looking up in the direction of Tamamo's former club, and muttered as if he had found a lost child from his youth, "he is indeed my child......
