"You don't have to talk so quietly, do you? The two outside have mutated to understand human speech?" That's what he said, but when everyone else lowered their voices to speak, Lu Mingfei felt that he was not very good at speaking loudly.

"The overlord squid can detect the vibrations of sound waves, and many species in the deep sea have their own biological sonar." Caesar cut off the power and shut down all the valves at the same time.

"There's no point in saving energy at this point, right?" Lu Mingfei whispered, "You don't need to rely on sound waves to vibrate when you're so close, they have eyes, and they're still looking at us."

"They're not looking at us, they're confronting. The submersibles don't smell, they don't know what we are, and they shouldn't be looking at us as a hunting target." Caesar said, "We just have to keep our composure and don't move, we're hanging from a safety rope now, and it's going to be troublesome to move to get their attention."

"How long will they confront each other? I don't know if I'll be able to hold it back." Lu Mingfei said.

"Predators use confrontation to find out each other's strength, which can be as short as a few minutes or as long as a whole day." Caesar said.

"I'm fine, I studied zazen for a while in high school." Chu Zihang said, "There is nothing wrong with not moving for a day."

Caesar struck a delicate balancing pose: "I've practiced Pilates, and it's okay to stay still for three hours, but Lu Ming is not you?"

"I didn't learn zazen or pilates, but when I fell asleep, I was like a dead man." Lu Mingfei said and lay down on the cockpit floor.

The deep submersible was violently slammed by the sudden surge of water, and the entire sea area was stirred by these two giant creatures, the momentum was like a clash of thousands of horses, and in the depths of the hazy sea, two huge predators were entangled with each other, twisting together frantically, the giant snake-like wrists and feet of the overlord squid entangled the body of the hammerhead shark, and the sharp teeth of the hammerhead shark sank deep into the head of the overlord squid, and the blood of the two behemoths mixed together and diffused. The squid's wrists and feet with suckers continued to tear the skin of the hammerhead shark, and the hammerhead shark violently tore off the small half of the head of the overlord squid, and also had an eye and a wrist and foot.

"Looks like it's going to be a tough fight." Lu Mingfei said.

"No, the overlord squid is going to win, it has two brachial feet that stick into the gill slit of the shark, and the gills are injured and the shark has no power to resist." Caesar said, "The overlord squid also used this tactic to deal with sperm whales, blocking the mala whale's vents with their wrists and feet, so that the sperm whales could not breathe on the surface of the sea, and eventually suffocated and lost their strength and were dragged into the deep sea."

Before the words fell, the wrists and feet of the overlord squid had already been pulled out of the gills of the hammerhead shark, and with two bright red blood smokes, it dragged out most of the shark's gills! The raging hammerhead shark writhed violently for half a minute and then slowly rolled over, floating in the sea with its belly facing up, the victory and defeat were decided, the overlord squid let go of its wrists and feet, it swam around the dying hammerhead shark, spewed out a black smoke screen, and disappeared from view.

"Call the headquarters! Call the headquarters! We are close to the area where the embryo is located, and there is plenty of oxygen to use for about two hours. The marine ecology in the surrounding area is strange, but the other conditions are normal, please continue to investigate, repeat we ask to continue the survey!" Caesar breathed a sigh of relief and put on his headphones and called.

After a few moments, Schneider's voice rang out: "You have made an astonishing discovery, and agree to continue the investigation, but please pay close attention to the proper operation of the equipment, and if necessary, safety is a priority."

"Are those old things in the family putting pressure on the Executive?" Caesar laughed.

"It is said that your uncle is ready for the next flight to the headquarters, and he is carrying a double-barreled shotgun, a tube of gunpowder to blow my head, and a tube of gunpowder to blow Professor Manstein's head."

"I'm not going to give him a chance, everything the old guys in the family say about me is a piece of, and since they expect me to inherit the Gattuso family, they have to accept the changes I bring." Caesar ended the call.

"What kind of fish is that?" It's pretty to look at." Lu Mingfei suddenly pointed to the front and said.

Caesar and Chu Zihang saw that thousands of dark blue points of light were rising from the depths of the trench, they were densely packed and thousands, hovering around the dying hammerhead shark, like a whirlpool of starlight. But if you look closely, you can see that it is

A group of small, slender fish, covered in beautiful silver-blue scales, reflected the glow of a tentacle above their heads.

Chu Zihang looked at the hideous cracks of those little things and the sharp teeth poking out of their mouths like daggers, and his face became ugly: "That's ...... Devil-toothed viper!"

"I thought it was extinct." Caesar said.

"I admit that I wasn't particularly serious in class, but I don't think I know this thing is not my pot, what is this Li ghost Li Kui, I'm sure I haven't heard of it, can the two seniors give me a science popularization for this elementary school brother who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it?" Lu Mingfei said.

"It's the Ghost Tooth Viper, a legendary creature that dragons used as instruments of torture, and nobles who committed great sins were punished by being tied to bronze pillars and sunk into the deep sea, where a large swarm of dragon vipers ate the nobles and the bronze pillars together." Chu Zihang turned his head and explained to Lu Mingfei, and the usually calm killing embryo showed an unusually ghostly expression at this moment, "Before the eighteenth century BC, the Sumerians used to breed dragon vipers to devour iron ore, and the iron was enriched and purified in their bodies, and then the Sumerians obtained better quality iron by burning them, and in this kind of iron, a transparent crystalline substance can often be found, which is the teeth of dragon vipers."

As if to prove Chu Zihang's words, the starry ghost-toothed dragon viper outside pounced on the hammerhead shark together, they pierced their dagger-like sharp teeth into the hammerhead shark's body, and kept biting, the dying hammerhead shark was swept out of what little vitality was left, it twisted its body wildly, but it couldn't get rid of these small fish at all, they bit through the hammerhead shark's skin, drilled in and out of its body, biting through the chest, abdomen and all muscles, this scene can definitely make all the secret fear patients faint on the spot.

After a few minutes, the hammerhead shark was left with only a few scraps floating in the sea, and the ghost-toothed vipers floated away, looking like a galaxy in the distance, with no hint of ferocity in eating.

"This is the ultimate enhanced Amazon Piranha." Lu Mingfei sighed, "It's really a big world, and there are no wonders."

"Because it's a creature that carries the genes of the dragons, officially called a subspecies," Caesar said, "and all the creatures here are subspecies that carry the genes of the dragons, and you see over there, the overlord squid has returned."

The Overlord Squid, which had fled for a while, was now suspended in the place where the Ghost Tooth Viper had eaten, and the remaining nine brachiopods were rolling, and the mouthparts in the center of the brachiopods were constantly sucking in blood-red seawater to eat the scraps of minced meat.

"Watch its wrists and feet." Chu Zihang said.

The surface of those thick brachiopods is densely covered with strange scales, and at a glance it looks more like nine giant snakes writhing in the sea, and of course there are no scaly overlord squid in the world.

"That embryo should be in the abyss below, and it's an extremely powerful ancient species." "During the incubation process, it continuously releases secretions rich in genetic information, which attract all kinds of marine creatures and rewrite their genes, alienating them into dragon subspecies."

"It's counterintuitive." Caesar said, "According to the Academy, dragons like to choose the hatchery of their embryos far away from any living thing, they don't need to attract these fish as food reserves, and there are only examples in history of evolution by contact with the blood of ancient dragons, and a large number of dragon subspecies are affected by embryonic secretions, and if there is such a precedent, it should have been observed."

"The best thing to do if you can't understand is to see it with your own eyes." Chu Zihang said.

The overlord squid had eaten the scraps and had left, and the fish had returned to the sea, and the calm and serenity had been restored to the glow of the waters. But in the eyes of the three of them, there is a deadly murder hidden under this peaceful appearance.

……

"I think they're already close to the god's burial place, and the video has been sent." Yuan Zhisheng said into the phone.

"I've seen it, it's a miracle in the world." Tachibana Masamune sighed, "It's really far beyond my expectations, and I only learned about the sacred burial place from ancient books, and I don't know what it looks like. There is no doubt that something is nourishing that sea, not an embryo, but a corpse of a god."

"Childish, success is just around the corner, completely erasing the god's burial place from the world, and the Snake Qi Eight family doesn't need to keep the remains of the gods. No, that's not the remains of a god, that's a demon

The corpse is a curse!"

"Daddy, I've been thinking these days that we need to master the maximum violence in order to live a peaceful life, right?" Yuan Zhisheng was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked a question that seemed completely unrelated.

"Do you doubt it?" Tachibana asked.

"I can't doubt it, but I'm not completely sure. Blowing up the burial house and putting an end to the demons is something that will take a lot of blood, and I don't know if it's worth it. Maybe we want to trade violence for peace, but when we have the greatest violence, are we the ones who deserve to be killed?" Yuan Zhisheng whispered, "Daddy, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Sure." Tachibana Masamune's voice was slow but firm, "I'm sure. If I make a mistake, I will take responsibility independently. You don't have to think too much about it, even if it's a sin, it's my sin. You've been a kind kid since you were a kid, and I know you just can't bear to be alone."

"How can the patriarch of the Eight Snake Families be lonely? With so many people around you, it's an honor to even be reprimanded by you."

"A samurai will not be lonely because the hounds are clustered around his warhorse, and it will only be another samurai who can keep a samurai from being lonely."

"Actually, I'm just a hound in front of your horse, Daddy, I won't be another samurai, just a hound who wants to leave you and go to a distant land." Yuan Zhisheng hung up the phone and put the headphones back on.

……

After the glitch, the Dirieste ran smoothly, constantly diving, gradually approaching the surface of the magma, and then another problem was exposed, in this ultra-high pressure abyss, the boiling point of the sea water will exceed 500 degrees Celsius, and the closer to the magma, the higher the water temperature outside the deep submersible, and this leads to-

"The outside water temperature is 224 degrees Celsius," Chu said, "and although there is an insulation, if we continue to get close to the surface of the magma, we may not be able to stand it ourselves."

"It's still a sauna, and it's going to turn into an oven if it heats up again." Lu Mingfei wiped off the sweat on his head.

In the cockpit, the trio was almost able to take off completely, but everyone was still sweating, this was a mistake, the equipment department did not expect that the bottom of the abyss would reach the ground crack and deal with magma, so the combat suit was designed to keep warm in addition to diving, and in this case, wearing a combat suit is self-inflicted. Chu Zihang was still wearing a belt and a long knife, and the circle around his waist was dripping with sweat, Caesar shook his two huge chest muscles, and the sweat gathered into small strands and flowed down from the gap in the middle.

But at this moment, there is another person who is also suffering with them, Jiude Mai stands above the cockpit overlooking the ground crack below, feeling as if it is about to burn, although she tries her best to keep her face expressionless, but she has cursed in her heart I don't know how many times.

"Look! Nine o'clock, what's that?!" Caesar exclaimed.

Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang hurriedly looked in the direction of nine o'clock, and after just one glance, they completely forgot about the heat, it was a tower! A giant tower! It stands on the gentle slope next to the ground fissure, like a huge lighthouse sitting on the seaside, the earth fissure is the ocean, the magma is the tide stirred by the ocean, and the dark tower body is reflected, like a giant who has been silently guarding here for eternity. At this moment, no one speaks, traces of civilization are found in the deepest part of the ocean, all language will seem weak, and all moods will only be left with shock, ecstasy, and fear.

At this moment, everyone from the diving team to the source child on the Sumeru seat to Schneider and Manstein in the academy headquarters, everyone is looking at the tower, it seems to have stood there for endless years, like a god guarding this place, majestic and lonely, there is a kind of magic that makes people worship.

"It can't be a human thing." Caesar spoke, his voice hoarse.

"Impossible." Chu Zihang said, "It is indeed impossible for human beings to build such a giant tower in the 8,600-meter deep sea."

The Dirieste continued to move forward, and at the end of the field of vision, a majestic city slowly emerged, at a depth of 8,600 meters, the city was like a kingdom of gods!

The ancient city is centered on the tower and adjacent to the magma river, which has survived thousands of years and is still immortal, and half of the ancient city has slipped into the magma river.

The other half is all in collapsed ruins, except for the giant tower in the center, which stands stubbornly and watches over the city in its former glory.

Among the collapsed ruins, you can still see its original majestic appearance, continuous buildings, on the raised gable roof is paved with iron black tiles, the tiles are engraved with cloud patterns and dragon beasts, and the four corners of those buildings are still hung with hundreds of meters of metal chains, on which black wind chimes fall, these chains rise and fall with the current, tens of thousands of black wind chimes continue to sway, as if playing lonely and silent music.
