Chapter 109 Underground Overlord

4500 meters underground.

After a long period of digging, Kyushu officials also realized this.

The further down, the higher the density of the energy stone and the purer the quality.

So they made a quick decision and decided to continue digging.

"Wow..."

With a loud noise, the rock wall was completely dug through.

Everyone froze in place, caught off guard by this unexpected situation.

Whether it was transporting ores, arranging cables and lighting, or operating machinery, all of a sudden, they all forgot how to react.

After a long while, the accompanying geologist slowly said: "I will do some exploration first, and then report the general situation to the superiors."

The team leader nodded.

Immediately, the geologists accompanying them began preliminary exploration.

The geologist is a dark, tall man. Perhaps because he is always trekking on rocky walls in the mountains, he looks less like a scholar and more like a farmer.

He approached the hole carefully.

This hole is like a dividing line between two different spaces.

On this side is the glorious human civilization.

Bright, cold, brilliant.

On the other side is the unknown depth.

Unknown, dangerous, dark.

Now, a small hole has been opened between the two civilizations.

The light belonging to human civilization followed the entrance of the cave and cautiously explored the unknown darkness.

The geologist took a flashlight and looked into the deep cave.

In the darkness, the light of the flashlight condensed into a beam. Moving inch by inch.

Geologists scrutinize every detail, trying to piece together a panoramic view of it.

"This is a big cave." The geologist turned around and said.

Then he put his ear against the rock wall.

"There is the sound of running water, it's probably an underground river."

The geologists took out a lot of instruments that ordinary people could not understand, and banged on the rock wall. After getting some fragments, they began to conduct tests on the spot.

And some incomprehensible academic words kept coming out of his mouth.

When everything was over, he turned on the contact.

"Discovered special terrain, coordinates xx xx xx. After preliminary exploration, it is speculated..."

A message from the underground quickly reached the research institute on the ground via radio waves.

Of course, this is just a special terrain and has not attracted the attention of the institute.

Such underground caves are as common as rivers and mountains on the ground.

However, if you want to continue exploration, you do need to gather more manpower.

So the two nearby teams received orders from the research institute. They would complete the excavation and finishing tasks in their respective mines, reinforce the mines, and evacuate within two days.

Two days later, we gathered in front of the newly discovered cave to explore together.

Prior to this, the No. 3 team that discovered the cave was conducting surveys in the shallow layers of the cave.

However, just in the past two days, something went wrong for Team No. 3.

"Rumble..."

The machinery is still running day and night.

Team No. 3 did not continue to dig in the direction of the cave, but the excavation work in other directions could not stop.

Energy stones are extremely important resources.

Their excavation work at this moment is even more urgent.

Although, as a digger, as a worker, as a soldier. They don't know to what extent these energy ores can be utilized by humans, what kind of weapons they can be made into, and what kind of qualitative leap they can bring to human life.

But they know the significance of this energy ore to mankind.

Therefore, they know they cannot stop for a moment.

The machinery continued to make noise, leaking out through the small hole and echoing in the endless underground cave.

After reverberating countless times, the sounds overlapped repeatedly, and actually mixed into a strange roar, as if some giant beast was roaring low.

Deep in the cave, five strange and ugly giant molluscs were awakened by this roar.

The mollusk raised its five wet and sticky heads, and the tentacles on its heads were shaking in the air.

He seemed to be sensing the direction from which the sound was coming.

Then the five heads twisted in the same direction, and the terrifying giant mouth on the head opened, revealing the densely packed teeth inside.

He responded silently, as if responding to the provocation from the unknown overlord.

However, the unknown overlord seemed unaware.

He was still in this empty space, making his presence known with his voice in a arrogant manner.

The giant mollusk was clearly pissed off.

He stretched out five heads, nailed them to the rock wall next to him, and shrank.

The heavy, giant shell with a diameter of 9 meters was easily pulled.

The giant shell collided with the rock wall next to it, making a loud noise.

The hard rock wall was like tofu dregs for a while, and a shower of broken stones began to fall.

…

"Kalara..."

"Rumble..."

Huge sounds intertwined in this underground space.

The team's geologist is looking down at the gravel in his hands.

At this time, he had already walked towards the underground cave.

A hundred meters above your head is the entrance to the mine.

Yes, he crossed that boundary and came into the darkness of the unknown.

"The energy stone below seems to be more pure!!"

The geologist raised his head and shouted upwards.

The man above poked his head out, full of anxiety.

He was a soldier who had participated in the extermination of monsters, so he suffered from some traumatic stress disorder.

Facing the boundless darkness at this time, the soldiers only felt that there were countless terrifying monsters in the darkness. They stared with red eyes and looked at the living humans with covetousness.

"You come up first, stop probing, and wait for the main force."

The soldier shouted down.

Geologists were unconcerned.

"Don't worry, I won't be far away."

Suddenly, the geologist stopped what he was doing.

He first listened attentively, and then turned his head towards the direction of the extension of the cave.

Strange noises came from that direction and seemed to be getting closer.

The expression of the soldier above changed.

"Something's approaching!"

The soldier immediately turned around and shouted: "Stop all activities and prepare to be alert, there is an unknown creature approaching!"

At the same time, his hands did not stop.

He threw a bundle of rope down the hole and hung it in front of the geologist.

"Come up quickly!"

The geologist quickly grabbed the rope and was about to climb up, but suddenly turned back.

"That's too late……"

The geologist murmured.

"Boom..."

After a loud noise, a huge boulder hit the place where the geologist was.

The boulder was like an extraterrestrial meteorite, and human beings were nothing more than tiny bugs in front of him.

The geologist didn't even let out a scream and howl of pain, but he was already reduced to a puddle of flesh.

Life disappears in an instant.

The eyes of the soldier who witnessed all this from the beginning were red.

Scenes of the tragic battles with monsters flashed rapidly in his mind.

However, he did not cry out in grief, nor did he hesitate.

Countless experiences on the battlefield made him draw the weapon from his waist like a reflex.

Shoot, fight back.

The special bullet hits the mollusk's white and tender neck, causing it to suffer excruciating pain.

The huge mollusk waved its five heads and nailed its head deep into the rock.

Then he shook it hard.

The huge shell drew an arc in the air lightly.

That thing was like the meteor hammer of an alien giant, hitting the small entrance steadily and hard.

Destroy and destroy.

The hard rock is like an egg roll, breaking lightly.

The humans within the range silently turned into meat patties splattered with blood.

Fortunately, the diameter of the mines dug by humans is less than 9 meters.

The huge rock shell was embedded in the narrow corridor, making it impossible to move even an inch.

The 20-member No. 3 team has lost three members and currently has 17 people left.

Everyone is fighting.

Even people who have had experience fighting monsters before are still frightened at this time.

This is the first time they have seen such a huge monster.

This kind of body shape simply breaks through the limitations of human cognition.

What is the concept of a 9-meter-diameter sphere?

The internal height of an ordinary building is about 2.7 meters.

If you include the floor, it's about three meters.

Therefore, 9 meters in diameter is roughly equivalent to the height of a 3-story building.

If this thing was built entirely by humans, it would be ordinary.

Humans have built too many tall things.

Only 9 meters.

At such a height, even when humans look up, they look down.

But what if it's a huge monster?

When human beings face this thing, they may only feel fear and despair.

The living person rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

In the team, there are some professional types who have never faced monsters.

The first reaction of such a person is, did I see something wrong? Is there something wrong with my eyes?

They even unconsciously wanted to take two steps forward to see this incredible scene more clearly.

The soldiers who had participated in the war against monsters were more calm.

"retreat!!"

The captain shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Retreat quickly! All combatants retreat and prepare to fight!"

At this time, the shocked professionals came to their senses. They dragged their still trembling legs and staggered onto the transport truck.

"Aim!" shouted the captain.

An Easter egg hit the huge stone ball. Leaving a clear mark.

Suddenly, all the soldiers had targets to attack.

They raised their guns and poured out unbridled firepower on that point.

Countless special bullets hit the hard shell with the sound of air explosion.

left behind……

Each one is glowing with white marks.

Such an attack did not cause any decisive damage to this thing.

There isn't even a shallow pit.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."

The special bullets continued to bounce off, but the huge round shell did not move at all.

At this time, a white soft body quietly poked out from under the shell.

"Whoosh——"

A hurricane rose out of thin air in the sealed cave.

"Ah - save, save me -"

The white software ejects and directly envelops humans in it.

The mucus secreted melted the man's flesh and blood in a few breaths.

Screams echoed through the corridor.
