Volume 1 The Nishihama Boy Chapter 32 The Eye of Taurus
"Let's go. Mr. Kim's voice was a little tired.
Eli looked at the path and took a deep breath, his hands trembling slightly unconsciously.
Continue to walk along this strange thorny path, the weather at noon, but here it is like the evening, vaguely unable to see the feet, the two people in front of them are extremely fast, Yang Ji groped to keep up, but accidentally pricked his fingers a few times, so he walked more carefully.
After a long time, a blue glow appeared at the end of the path, and Mr. King and Eli looked happy and walked a little faster.
What caught your eye was a huge cave beyond imagination, surrounded by huge black rocks, and on these black rocks were densely carved some strange shapes and symbols, like some kind of ancient cuneiform script, and the blue light emitted by them.
These cuneiform characters were carved deep and nailed to the stone wall, and the wind erosion and water droplets did not fade a little, but showed their solemn and desolate meaning.
Looking up, there is a circular hole about ten meters in diameter at the top of this huge karst cave, but it is extremely high and far from the ground, which cannot be touched by human beings.
His eyes shifted slightly, noticing that Eli and Mr. King were looking intently at the ground somewhere in the cave.
It was a waterhole.
The water of the pool is not dark, but blue, blue like a pot of overturned paint, so blue that even the most beautiful scenery of the Xiwa River is eclipsed, because it is so blue that all the cuneiform characters in the cave have become aside, and the center of the pool water returns to the depth of pitch black, like a magic eye, just looking at you calmly, it is enough to breathe.
"The Eye of Taurus!
Eli's eyes were filled with frenzy and relief, and tears welled up with excitement.
"The Siwa Eternal exists in the forbidden land of the Third Oasis, and sure enough, only you can find it. Siva Ely. ”
Mr. Kim's mental power fluctuated violently, and it was obvious that his mind was not as flat as it seemed on the surface.
"Mr. Kim, allow me to prepare for a few more days, and soon, the world will soon witness the wrath from the desert. Eli clenched his fists and said categorically.
"Be careful, I'll bring the blood food here, and you can arrange it with peace of mind. Mr. Jin nodded knowingly and asked Yang Ji to leave together.
"Wait, let this kid stay, I'm still useful. Eli stopped Mr. King and said.
Mr. Jin acquiesced, although he was affected by his own spiritual power, there should be no mistakes, but thinking that it was better just in case, he called Yang Ji over, handed him a forest green pill, and ordered:
"Eat it. ”
Yang Ji took the pill, his brows did not wrinkle, and he swallowed it without hesitation.
"This is a hundred herbs from the distant Dynasty, made of more than 100 kinds of precious plants and trees, which naturally has a suppressive effect on your corpse qi, this is the reward for doing things for us, you will try your best to help Eli when I am not there, don't disobey the order. ”
Yang Ji's afterglow swept to the strange look cast by Eli next to him, and he sighed secretly in his heart, so he could only nod yes.
This is an acceptance with no choice, all he can do is try to hold on to the last hole card and wait.
......
......
Steel Fortress.
Conference room.
"The 784th class of trainees suffered an earthquake during their training, 3 people died, 8 people were missing, more than 100 people were injured to varying degrees, and the remaining trainees are still continuing to train, but ......"
Second Lieutenant Jaime paused and looked at his colleague at the table.
The large metal conference table was flanked by officers in military uniforms and epaulettes of different ranks, listening to his report with solemn expressions
But among the three people who died, 2 were test officers, 1 fell from a height, and the other was hit by a falling rock in the process of rescuing the trainees, and unfortunately died on the spot. ”
A drop of sweat slid down Lieutenant James's forehead, ran down the contour of his face to his chin, and then dripped to the ground with a "click".
The audience was silent, all the officers clenched their fists with their right hands in their hearts, bowed their heads in silence, and the solemn atmosphere could be clearly heard even when a needle fell on the ground.
"Although it is an emergency, but two senior sergeant majors died in the line of duty, as a commander, have you carried out the usual disaster rehearsal in place? ”
It was a middle-aged man wearing a captain's badge who was questioning Ensign James with a grim expression.
"Captain Rice, the rehearsal and the actual situation are different and cannot be confused, and besides, these two test officers are good friends of Second Lieutenant James, and no one wants to see such a situation. Another captain said.
"This is the only non-war major casualty incident since the founding of the Zhenxi Army, you told me that Second Lieutenant James is not responsible?
The corners of Captain Rice's mouth rose to reveal a sarcastic expression, and the captain's face turned red with anger, but he couldn't refute it for a while.
"In any case, I voluntarily accept the punishment for this matter, and now the priority is to find the missing student. ”
Ensign Jaime spoke up just in time, breaking the stiff atmosphere.
"According to the oral accounts at the scene, a huge crack that stretched for several kilometers was cracked in the ground, the mountains overturned, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and someone saw the students fall into the crack in the ground, right?"
A middle-aged officer stood up and motioned for Second Lieutenant James to take a seat, then walked to the middle seat of the conference table and sat down slowly.
The officer wore an epaulette with a silver bar, inlaid with four brilliant gold stars, a face with a Chinese character, and a solemn eyebrow, and although he was short in stature and had a gentle expression, everyone present was respectful to him.
"That's right. ”
Ensign James had specific conversations with both the cadet and the test officer, so there was no doubt about it.
"The location of the steel fortress is not in the multi-seismic zone, and the duration of this earthquake is extremely short, we sent geologists to investigate the site overnight, and found that the foundation of the entire mountain is like a hornet's nest, and there is a danger of collapsing again at any time, and the training ground is no longer usable. ”
"Major General Rollin, do you mean that this is probably not a normal earthquake, but for another reason?" asked Second Lieutenant James.
"I can't say for sure. But we do have such suspicions, and we need more to confirm them, and Changjing has dispatched more experts and scholars on the way, and I believe that there will be results soon. ”
Major General Luo Lin's fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a "bangbang" sound, as if to affirm this statement, he looked around at the officers present, pointed to the defense map behind him, and asked softly:
"What's next, what do you think about the once-in-a-decade beast tide?"
