I directed the mythical revival in Tokyo

Chapter 154: Landing on the Island and the Immortal Medicine of Penglai

“Is this the destination?”

On the vast sea.

A naval officer on the deck was holding up a telescope, pressing it close to his eyes, staring at the thick fog ahead, and finally a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Ever since they received a report from a fisherman not long ago that a small island shrouded in thick fog was found in the nearby sea, they immediately realized that this place was most likely related to the supernatural.

Therefore, after quickly reporting to the higher-ups, nearby troops were soon mobilized.

However, unfortunately.

"This thick fog is really weird. All the drones sent in lost contact after entering," the officer put away the telescope and turned to ask the adjutant beside him.

"Did the advance team successfully land on the island?"

Before he finished speaking, a call came from the radio.

"Sir, we have reached the shore!"

"What! So fast?"

……

patter
With a slight sound, a soldier slowly stepped onto the beach, and in front of him was a lush jungle.

He looked up and saw towering mountains looming in the distance.

The radio intercom beside him suddenly rang, and the commander's command came:

"Keep going! Stay connected!"

The soldier swallowed his saliva with a gulp and nervously raised his guns along with those around him.

Da da da

Footsteps stomped across the leaf-covered ground.

"Captain, where are we going next?"

The captain replied without even turning his head: "Let's head towards the huge mountain ahead first."

"Back there, Andre, take you as the center and pay close attention to the situation in the back row."

"Got it, please reply."

"Got it...Aaaaaah!"

I heard a sudden exclamation from behind.

The captain turned around suddenly and shouted: "Be careful, there is danger!"

Then he raised the gun in his hand and pointed it behind him.

I saw a withered tree man using its arm-like branches to quickly grab Andre, throw him to the ground, and begin to drag him backwards.

As Andre watched himself getting further and further away from the troops, an indescribable fear surged in his heart.

His mind was blank at this moment.

“Keep your head down!”

Bang bang bang bang,

Dense bullets poured down behind him like raindrops, hitting the rough bark of the tree man accurately.

"Get out of my way, everyone!"

The captain gave an order, and then, with a loud bang, a rocket cut through the air and headed straight for the tree man.

"Squeak!!!"

The flames instantly ignited the tree man, and it began to struggle in pain, but still tried to use branches to poke Andre under it.

However, the tree man was once again blocked by dense gunfire, and soon stopped all movements.

"Andre, how is your injury?"

The surrounding soldiers surrounded Andre.

The captain walked towards the tree man cautiously, and after careful observation, he confirmed that the other party was no longer moving, and then he felt relieved.

Then he picked up the intercom and reported hurriedly: "Report to the commander, we have encountered a large number of tree people. According to the situation on the scene, rockets are enough to destroy these monsters. Requesting support from a large number of troops and rockets."

Before he finished speaking, a soldier next to him suddenly exclaimed.

"Captain, what do you think that is?"

Everyone looked up and saw that the fog in the sky quickly pressed down and turned into a group of ghost-like creatures, rushing towards the ground in an overwhelming manner.

"Use the rockets quickly!"

The captain gave the order hastily.

Boom, boom, a large number of rockets were fired into the air, but unfortunately, these rockets were completely ineffective.

They continued to surge towards the army like a tide.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Several soldiers were suddenly enveloped by the fog monster.

Uh-huh!

The soldier began to thump to the ground, struggling with his hands as if his neck was being crushed.

“I can’t breathe!”

"Everyone be careful, these monsters can get into your respiratory tract and suffocate you!"

The captain's expression suddenly changed, but he quickly analyzed the current emergency situation.

Crunch, crunch,

In an instant, the surrounding trees finally bared their fangs, and a large number of tree people began to stand up and surround the team.

boom!boom!
But guns are a drop in the bucket.

Looking at the increasing number of tree people around him, the captain's face showed a trace of despair. After all, compared with these monsters, their number was too small.

"Everyone, run!"

However, thinking of the army's order, the captain quickly picked up the walkie-talkie in his hand.

"Report to the commander, the exploration team is about to be destroyed. In addition to the tree people, there are also fog monsters on the island. The new monster attacks by suffocating. It is recommended that the troops arrange protective masks."

Say it.

Suddenly a tree man jumped out from the side, quickly stretched his hand forward, and was about to grab the captain.

At this critical moment, the captain dodged suddenly and narrowly avoided the tree man's attack.

"die!"

Just as he finished speaking, a huge white streak suddenly flashed through the air, extremely sharp.

Immediately afterwards, the tree man's arm was cut off in an instant, and broken branches flew everywhere.

However, the white mark did not stop there. It continued to extend backwards at an astonishing speed. After cutting five tree men, it slowly stopped.

Everyone looked back hurriedly and saw a strong man in combat uniform standing proudly.

He bent his fingers and inserted the long knife in his hand back into the tendon sheath with a clean and neat movement.

Seeing the person coming, the captain's face showed joy and he shouted excitedly.

"It's Mr. Kondo Rei! We are saved!"

“That’s a lot of them.”

Kondo Retsu stared at the dense group of tree people in front of him with a frown. Then he waved his hand lightly, and several fully armed soldiers appeared behind him.

Several months had passed since the Izumo City incident. At that time, he was bloodied and almost unrecognizable, with internal bleeding, extensive tendon ruptures, and fractures...

However, with the world's top medical resources, his own strong physical fitness, and the energy in his body, Kondo Rei recovered faster than expected.

"Humph, it's no wonder that America is controlled by capital. Even the army has this style. They arranged me here even though I just recovered not long ago."

The soldiers behind him quickly raised their machine guns.

Da da!

Then, as if the gates of hell had opened, flames continued to spew out of the muzzle of the gun.

Dense bullets poured out like a storm, instantly cutting many tree people in half.

Kondo Retsu on the side looked at the performance of these extraordinary soldiers and nodded with satisfaction.

The military has reached a consensus on the use of the super serum.

That is to use it to improve the physical fitness of soldiers, enabling them to be equipped with and operate more powerful weapons.

Although in movies we often see strong men armed with Gatling rifles sweeping the battlefield, in reality, such scenes are extremely rare and even more difficult to popularize among ordinary soldiers.

After all, this super-heavy weapon is incredibly heavy, and it is extremely troublesome for ordinary soldiers to carry it.

Not to mention that they have to carry thousands of bullets and remain flexible enough while carrying such heavy equipment.

As for actual use, the military had previously conducted experiments on Gatling guns. Even if the top soldiers were operating them and the firing rate was set to the lowest, the terrifying recoil would still make the soldiers feel like they were flying. However, these extraordinary soldiers were able to do this easily with the strong physique given by the extraordinary serum.

Kondo Retsu took a deep breath and looked at the tree people in front of him who seemed to be ignorant of the danger and kept rushing towards the muzzle of the gun, and he couldn't help shaking his head in his heart.

"It seems like they are a group of monsters who only have instincts."

He glanced at the soldiers fighting around him.

He was unwilling to waste his physical strength and energy on a monster that could be killed by simply cleaning the gun.

Let's leave this kind of task to the tactical team assigned to him by America.

As for the fog monster in the air, Kondo Retsu frowned.

He discovered that although the fog monsters attacked the soldiers below wantonly, they ignored him and the extraordinary team around them, as if they did not exist at all.

"Could it be that?"

Thinking of this, Kondo Retsu flashed and instantly rushed towards the fog monsters that were rushing downwards.

"do not come!"

A soldier tried his best to fire the ammunition in his hand at the attacking fog monsters, but those monsters were like illusory ghosts and the ammunition passed through them without causing any harm to them.

brush!
Just as the monster was about to approach the soldiers, a blade suddenly appeared nearby and instantly cut the fog monster in half.

Unlike guns and ammunition, the blade emits a faint white light the moment it touches the monster.
Zhizhi! ! !

Those fog monsters were like butter encountering a hot knife. They quickly dissipated with a squeaking sound.

Kondo Retsu felt the feedback from the blade, and he finally understood everything.

"Sure enough, these monsters don't dare to approach us because of the energy in our bodies?"

He looked back and saw that at the moment Kondo Rei released his energy, a large number of fog monsters seemed to have encountered their natural enemies and quickly fled.

"It seems that the exploration process will be easier than expected."

As for the tree people, most of them were basically wiped out by massive machine gun fire.

Just as Kondo Retsu was about to retreat back to the forest, he suddenly noticed that a taller tree man was turning around and leaving quickly not far away.

"What? It actually ran away!" Kondo Retsu showed a hint of excitement on his face, "I caught a big fish."

"Mr. Kondo! Over there is..."

He paid no attention to the calls from behind, and instantly accelerated his body and chased forward.

……

Salsa
The ancient tree giant began to walk forward with huge steps. Although its pace was slow, its long legs made up for it.

“Huff, huff, luckily those cannon fodders are at the front.”

However, before the ancient tree giant could take another step, a figure in front of it made it stop.

Kondo Retsu looked at the giant ancient tree in front of him, quickly drew his knife, pointed it at the other party, and said coldly.

"cannon fodder?"

"I didn't expect to encounter a talking tree! You must be..."

Before Kondo Rei could finish his words, the next scene left him dumbfounded.

The ancient tree giant made a kneeling motion with a snap, and said buzzingly.

"Please don't kill me, I will tell you everything!"

……

"Are you saying that you have discovered the legendary Penglai Island?"

"That's right, Colonel Bartha."

In the conference room, the images of Kondo Rei and the giant ancient tree appeared on the conference screen.

Kondo Retsu held the scabbard in his hand, pointed it directly at the ancient tree giant, and spoke in a cold tone.

“Tell us everything you know, starting with who you are.”

The ancient tree giant seemed to feel a huge threat in an instant, and its body involuntarily dodged to the side.

It glanced at the strange device in front of it, then spoke.

"My Lords, I am a retainer of Lord Ryuzoji."

"As for why we are here...it all started with that ceremony."

"Back then, at the ceremony for Ryuzoji's 70th birthday, an old man appeared and led a fisherman to the ceremony. The fisherman said that he encountered a storm while fishing, and when he woke up, he came to an island full of birdsong and flowers."

"There, he was warmly received by the local indigenous people and was guided to drink the spring water from the villagers, and finally returned to the shore on a wooden boat."

"When he returned home, he was shocked to find that he had regained his youth..."

Having said this, the ancient tree giant paused, and Colonel Bassa in the conference room and Ode next to him looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

"Regain youth?" Colonel Basa murmured in a low voice.

"If this is true, then this is a big deal," Ode continued.

You know, countless high-level figures have already stood at the pinnacle of power.

The reason why they are so keen on exploring extraordinary powers is to be able to prolong their lives and stand on the pyramid of power forever.

Colonel Basa naturally understood what Ode meant.

Previously, the appearance of gods had given the top leaders a glimmer of hope, but the existence of gods was by no means something they could easily reach.

However, the spring water mentioned by everyone at this time was completely different from the power of the gods.

"Just drinking that spring water can restore youth?"

Colonel Basa lowered his head in thought and pinched his temples with his fingers. He could already foresee what kind of crazy reaction those bigwigs who were about to die of old age would have when they heard the news.

Suddenly, Colonel Basa raised his head and looked at the ancient tree giant with sharp eyes.

"So, you are the one that Ryuzoji arranged to go to the island to get the spring water, right?"

The ancient tree giant shrank his neck in fear, then nodded.

"That's right. The group of tree people fighting with you are actually the warriors who landed on the island with me."

"Follow-up?" Colonel Basa asked.

The ancient tree giant suddenly fell silent, as if there was something he couldn't say.

At this moment, Kondo Retsu on the side instantly raised the long sword in his hand, and a faint cold light emanated from the blade.

The ancient tree giant became a little flustered for a moment, and then continued speaking.

"Later, we discovered the true identity of the spring water. It is actually a diluted version of the legendary Penglai elixir."

"And in the process of fetching water, we had some unpleasant minor frictions with the local indigenous people..."

"A little friction?"

Colonel Basa curled his lips slightly, revealing a look of disdain.

He didn't need to ask any questions to guess what happened next.

Everyone knows the attitude of ancient Neon warriors towards civilians. You should know that in history they have always used civilians as objects to test their swords.

Imagine what these warriors would feel when they saw that such precious spring water was held by a group of natives.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

However, what does this have to do with them?

Colonel Basa didn't care at all. He continued to support his chin with his hand, waiting for the ancient tree giant to tell him what happened next.

"Go on, tell me why you became like tree people?"

The ancient tree giant raised his head and spoke slowly.

"That's because we angered the gods they worshipped after the conflict."

"The gods have punished us and asked us to stay here forever as watchdogs to guard the periphery of Penglai Fairy Island."

"As for wisdom... the reason I was able to regain consciousness was because I accidentally drank spring water containing the ingredients of Penglai's elixir."

"After I regained consciousness, I understood everything instantly, and the first thing I wanted to do was to escape from this fairy island."

"However, the boundless fog blocked me firmly. I tried countless times, but could not find a way to escape."

"I don't know how long it took, but only recently did the fog begin to dissipate, allowing me to spot the coast."

Suddenly, the secretary next to him came over, handed the tablet in his hand to Colonel Basa, and spoke.

"Colonel Bassa, the name Ryuzoji Iekane was a daimyo who ruled the Kyushu region from 1454 to 1546 during the Warring States Period."

"Wait!" Colonel Basa was stunned when he heard this. "I remember the other party said 70th birthday?"

"Doesn't that mean that this incident happened exactly 500 years ago?"
