Chapter 366 354 Divine Sacrifice
Chapter 366 354. Divine Sacrifice
In a sense, there is only one person in this small temporary team who has actually entered the Nibelungen. It is neither Master Gattuso, who claims to have seen all the scenery in the world, nor Miss Ninja, whose origins are a mystery. But the guy who is still holding the ancient alchemy sword and purses his lips tightly as if he is going to fight some evil spirit.
"You have entered the Kingdom of the Dead by mistake, and you have carried the mark of the Kingdom of the Dead on your body. At this moment, you still have a chance to return the same way." Mai Shutoku stood up in the small watertight cabin, stretched her slender and graceful body, The waist is full and can be held, and the legs are slender and tight.
"We?" Caesar was stunned.
"Look at that thing." Mai Shutoku pouted at the strange, rising mountain outside the observation port.
It was said to be a mountain, but more like an aircraft falling from the sky and falling to the ground. However, because it was in the deep sea, it did not explode.
The Trieste is still getting closer and closer to it, and everyone has a vague guess that they seem to have found the big ship that disappeared from the world like a ghost twenty years ago.
"That's really... the Lenin." Chu Zihang said in a low voice.
Both Caesar and Mai Shutoku turned to look at the big screen on the console. The screen magnified what they saw. Now they could clearly see the steel outlines covered with shellfish and the red pentagon on the bow of the ship. Star-shaped, white characters can be faintly seen in the gaps of the shellfish on the side.
"Ленин".
"Lenin".
It can be imagined that many years ago, this huge sunken ship broke into the city almost lying flat and at extremely high speed, disturbing the tranquility of Takamagahara, smashing the ground, and leaving deep traces on the land of God. .
“We can’t see any traces of life in any other area of the city, such as krill, snails, or even those snow-like plankton, but the sunken Lenin is covered with these little things. It’s from here that the dragon’s genes are spread into the deeper seas,” Mai Shutoku said softly.
"The information is correct. The Lenin is the container carrying the embryo, but it was used as a sacrifice by someone to sacrifice to this city, this ancient city that is coming to life..."
Caesar shuddered slowly.
His hearing is the sharpest among these people, and even sea water is the natural transmission medium for Kamaita.
It can even be said that Caesar is the second sonar system of the Trieste.
Even as Mai Shutoku said these words, the heart of the city was still pumping powerfully, like the war drums of tens of thousands of years ago ringing in Caesar's ears along with the heavy years.
They were completely close to the Lenin. Looking down from this direction on this behemoth weighing 200,000 tons is truly spectacular and terrifying.
This thing died alone in the depths of the Japanese Trench, accompanied by the ruins of the Kingdom of God, reminiscent of the giant bear sleeping in the mountains, surrounded by barren and barren lands.
The shells of countless dead snails were swept upward by the undercurrent of the seabed, and they collided with the alloy shell of the Dirieste. A huge feeling of heart palpitations swept through the souls of everyone present at the same time.
Before carrying out this dive mission, Lu Mingfei had talked to Caesar and Chu Zihang alone about the Lenin and the embryo carried on the Lenin.
It was that guy who, together with Chen Motong, a red-haired witch with the ability to profile, analyzed the clues of the shipwreck 20 years ago through the information obtained from the Sheqi Ba family, and made this sensational speculation.
The academy also had similar findings, so there was Operation True Red Soil, which was carried out simultaneously with Operation Jiyuan.
"This is a weird ecosystem. The embryo that fell into the Japanese Trench with the Lenin provided nutrients for these countless lung snails and shellfish, and leaked its own genes." Chu Zihang lowered his The sound seemed to be for fear of disturbing the unknown ancient dragon inside the Lenin, who was not sure whether he was dead or alive, and also seemed to be for fear of waking up this sleeping ancient city.
"The snails mate all the time, and then eject countless small snails from their gill cavities. These small snails absorb phosphorus from the lava river and convert them into proteins through a series of complex chemical reactions. Fish schools They consume protein by ingesting small lung snails, while Basilosaurus, megalodon and giant squid consume enough energy to survive in this sea by hunting schools of fish..."
"This is a game where the big fish eats the small fish and the small fish eats the shrimp, and the only thing that will always circulate in this food chain is the gene of that ancient dragon." Caesar said, and he then fished out a piece of fish from nowhere. A cigar was held in his mouth, his eyebrows knitted together.
"What did you think of?" Chu Zihang asked.
"Bioaccumulation of heavy metals in the food chain," Caesar said.
Heavy metals, such as lead, mercury and copper, as well as certain pesticides such as DDT, are not easily decomposed and excreted in organisms, so they are passed along the food chain and accumulated through bioaccumulation. This phenomenon is called Bioconcentration means that the concentration of harmful substances in organisms gradually increases as the trophic level increases.
In other words, in heavy metal-polluted areas, the higher a species' status in the food chain, the more heavy metals in their bodies exceed the standard.
For example, the Asian carp in the Great Lakes can grow to nearly one meter in length.
"Yes." Chu Zihang said.
"The dragon race has an overwhelming genetic advantage over any other species. Ordinary beasts and even humans cannot completely integrate these powerful gene fragments into themselves, and will eventually only become deformed organs such as tumors, although the contaminated individuals will become stronger and closer to dragons." Caesar said,
"In an area contaminated by dragon blood, the food chain may be overturned, but each individual that obtains the gene fragments will kill each other for some reason that we have not been able to explain so far. This process may last for decades, and eventually all the genes will be enriched in one individual, and it will become... a monster similar to a dragon."
Chu Zihang sighed deeply.
This means that there may be one or many dragon subspecies comparable to pure-blooded dragons in this sea area, waiting for an opportunity to move, waiting to taste the predators who have absorbed the ancient dragon genes from the wreckage of the Lenin.
They are unwilling to occupy this place in person because the Torii is the border of the Nibelungen. The spiritual consciousness of animals is far more powerful than that of humans. They can realize that crossing that gate may face terrible things.
Just when I was thinking about this, something huge suddenly covered the entire 100-meter-high Torii. It crawled out of the rock wall at the edge of the long lava river, and while swinging its long tail, it left a huge shadow that completely covered the Trieste.
"What is that? Godzilla?" Caesar's lips were trembling.
The brave and fearless descendant of the Italian mafia finally realized at this moment that there really are monsters in the world.
"It's not Godzilla, it's Leviathan whale." Chu Zihang said coldly,
"Leviathan whale is the most powerful marine mammal in the Neogene. It is 18 meters long and weighs 65 tons in normal conditions. It is the same size as the current female sperm whale. Its teeth are 35 centimeters long, which is longer than the teeth of the megalodon."
Although in such a tense atmosphere, Mai Jiude still couldn't help but want to complain in her heart.
Chu Zihang is exactly the same as the intelligence reports. He can remember all the books he has read, and can blurt out famous quotes from philosophers. He can quote from a wide range of sources without any pressure, and is calm and composed. When Caesar Gattuso, who is as famous as him in the academy, was still making a fuss and sighing that he was holding Godzilla, Brother Shapei had already easily located the name of the Mei's Leviathan Whale from his encyclopedic head, which most people probably have never heard of.
"But that fucking thing is a hundred meters long, a hundred meters long!" When people are nervous, they really become repeaters. Master Gattuso put his hand on the yellow nuclear power valve. It seems that as long as there is any abnormal movement of Godzilla, Master Gattuso will immediately push the valve to let this deep-sea submersible, which is as old as his grandfather, become a supersonic submarine and rise to the surface at the fastest speed.
Indeed, from the outline of the shadow, it can be seen that its size is about half of the Lenin. The small eyes on both sides of its head, burning like giant candles, swept across the entire Takamagahara with great malice.
Countless blue light spots surrounded this huge predator. The densely packed ghost tooth vipers tore one after another small holes connected by gullies in the scales on the body surface of this prehistoric Leviathan whale, which were tens of centimeters thick. Their group was parasitic in it. The young fish lived on the giant whale's excrement and phosphorus in the lava, while the adult fish went out to hunt.
"Don't be impulsive. We are at the edge of Nibelungen now. The owner of this dead country is either gone or in deep sleep. The surrounding space will not fall into an infinite loop like the Penrose stairs." Chu Zihang said, "But if the Trieste rises at high speed, it is hard to say where we will go. Maybe it will be the sea surface, or maybe it will float out of the magma."
There is another possibility that he didn't say. Maybe this submersible will directly hit the border of Nibelungen, and the ending may be very bleak.
Chu Zihang fiddled with the buttons and valves on the operating table, and the Trieste continued to move towards the wreckage of the Lenin.
At this time, there was a rustling sound behind them. In just a blink of an eye, the girl who was as beautiful as the Egyptian queen in the East had taken off the ninja suit that fully showed her good figure. She was only wearing a close-fitting shark skin swimsuit, and a diving knife like an eagle's beak was tied to her slender calf.
"Wait, you're not going to tell me that you're going to walk out of the cabin at this time?" Caesar looked shocked.
"The pressure gauge hasn't changed, which means that even the water pressure in the Nibelungen is close to 900 atmospheres, and the temperature outside is close to minus 20 degrees Celsius... If you walk out of the Trieste without protection like this, you will be crushed into a meaningless organic mass in an instant." Chu Zihang looked serious.
"If my romantic father knew that a beautiful girl like you ended up as a pile of unrecognizable things, he would be heartbroken." Caesar also looked serious.
Jiude Mai turned her head to look at the observation window. Countless ice silks condensed in the sea water outside the cabin, and thin ice flakes between the ice silks were condensing. Some of the ice flakes could reflect the portholes of the Trieste, and a faint light and fire burned in the portholes.
"The city is waking up, and we have disturbed those dead souls by breaking into the Nibelungen." She said, "But what can I do? That's what the boss wants, that's..."
"His pet..."
The last sentence was so low that it seemed as if only the lips were moving. Chu Zihang and Caesar looked at each other, not knowing how to persuade this woman who had inexplicably broken into their mission.
Before they could even say anything, Jiude Mai had already turned around and walked into the pressure chamber on the side of the cockpit.
The gate, which was ten centimeters thick, closed between the three people. Jiude Mai knocked on the small resin glass window of the pressure chamber and tilted her head to smile.
"That's why I said you, because I didn't get in by mistake. My goal is here... After refining the bloodline, my words will evolve into the Vajra Realm. This domain of words can last for five minutes. After five minutes, you can leave from that torii." She said, and at the same time, the fierce dragonization began to occur on this beautiful body.
With the breath, the scales on the beautiful face opened and closed, and the cold golden eyes were full of teasing smiles.
The dark golden domain gushed out of Jiude Mai's body silently, and then stopped steadily about ten centimeters away from her.
It is incredible that the most hidden Yanling Mingzhao evolved into the Diamond Realm, which is stronger than the Dustless Land.
The pressurized nozzle sucked Jiude Mai in and then sprayed her out. She curled up into a ball, and her hard scales pierced through the shark skin swimsuit like a curled up pangolin.
"Blood burst, second degree... no, it may be third degree blood burst." Chu Zihang said coldly, "Her origin is not simple, and it may be true that she knows Lu Mingfei."
There are very few people in the world who have the blood burst technology. Apart from Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang doesn't know where she got this ability to improve her bloodline.
But Jiude Mai can enter the deep dragonization not because of advancing the road to deification, but because of the injection of evolution medicine.
A temporary evolution medicine that is far more advanced and perfect than the Molotov cocktail of the ghosts.
But Chu Zihang realized that Caesar did not reply. He looked back and saw only a frightened and pale face.
"Heartbeats, many, thousands and tens of thousands of heartbeats that are exactly the same frequency as this city!" Caesar said, pointing to the stele forest that was used as a place of execution.
Just as Jiude Mai entered the group of snails on the surface of the Lenin with the dark golden field as easily as a red-hot iron ball hitting an ice cube, almost at the same moment, the city trembled as if in anger.
Then scarlet water mist gushed out from the ground where the stele forest was inserted, and slender living creatures crawled out from the cracks in the ground. They tore the afterbirth that covered them, their bodies glowed with a metallic luster, and their pupils were ferocious gold.
It's... Corpse Guards!
Thousands of Corpse Guards in groups!
"Release sulfur alchemical bombs on those things!" Caesar growled, "No, it's better to use nuclear bombs!"
He growled while looking for the launch button, but Chu Zihang held him down.
The cold golden eyes immediately calmed Caesar down.
"Our efforts are a drop in the bucket. Nuclear bombs and alchemical bombs cannot destroy all the corpse guards. It is better to trust the academy." Chu Zihang said, "Our mission is to destroy the embryos, and it would be best if we destroy the city as well."
Both of them looked at the Lenin.
They were waiting for the mermaid-like shadow of the girl to reappear.
