Starting from Toaru Majutsu no Index, take stock of the supreme world of anime!

"alright."

"But I won't be joining you on your exploration."

"Pabodie, five others, and I remain here to make the final plan for moving east."

When Lake heard the agreement, he nodded happily.

Then they started to get busy immediately, while William Dell also planned to take it slow.

No one expected it

[Lake is in charge of the exploration team heading northwest]

[Brought intelligence that was enough to subvert cognition].

Chapter 118: Discovering the Ancient One! An Individual Hundreds of Millions of Years Ago! (The 3rd Long Chapter! Please Subscribe!)

[Lake's team continued to send telegrams back using the aircraft's shortwave wireless equipment as they moved westward.]

January 22, 4 p.m.

We received the first telegram

[Lake said they landed three hundred miles from us]

[Six hours later, we received the second telegram]

[Lake was very excited. He also found those strange marks in the slate fragments he collected.]

【Three hours later】

[Lake explained in the telegram he sent back that he took off again in the biting cold wind.]

[Despite my dissuasion, Lake still took off resolutely]

[One and a half hours later]

[Lake then resent the next telegram]

"10:5 PM, flying!"

"After the snowstorm, the highest mountains I've ever seen appeared ahead!"

"Its altitude is even equal to that of Mount Everest. It is located at 76 degrees 15 minutes south latitude and 113 degrees 10 minutes east longitude. All the tops of the mountains are black."

"Due to the hurricane, we can't get close."

From Lake's mouth.

The excitement revealed between the lines is beyond words.

"Wow--!"

The sudden surprise discovery immediately attracted everyone who stayed behind.

William Dell couldn't help but smile and clenched his fists excitedly.

"very good!"

"As expected of Lake! Even without any large creatures, this is enough to shock the world!"

The sudden good news swept away all the uneasiness in his heart.

If I had known there would be such a significant discovery, I should have accompanied Lake!

A huge mountain range seven hundred miles away!

It almost instantly aroused their passion for exploration.

After all, whether they are the ones or not, they are the discoverers of the highest mountains!

Lake sent back another telegram

"The plane made an emergency landing on a plateau at the foot of the mountain. No one was injured and the plane may be repaired."

“The mountains are so high that you can’t even imagine!”

"After leaving all the baggage behind, I'll take Carol's plane and go further up the mountain for observation. The highest peak is definitely over 35,000 feet. Even Mount Everest can't compare!"

What follows is the emotional text from Lake.

"A regular cubic outline can be seen at the top of the peak."

"The low Antarctic sun cast a dazzling golden-red light, and everything looked magnificent!"

"It's like a forbidden door to a secret place. I really wish you were with me right now!"

Even if it's just through words.

They can all make people clearly feel the pictures from a distant era.

And this spirit of exploration has also won the sincere recognition of many members of the technological side in the universe.

The reason why human beings can continue to develop.

A spirit of exploration is essential!

【Strictly speaking】

[It was already break time.]

None of us listeners wanted to leave the transmitter.

11 p.m.

Lake sends another telegram

"Flying over the highest peaks in the foothills with Carol."

"I don't dare attempt the highest peak of the main mountain range in the current weather. I might try again later."

"The main peak is higher than the Himalayas, which are composed of Precambrian slates intermixed with many other uplifted formations."

"The volcano hypothesis is wrong."

[Only half an hour later]

[Lake sent back a series of telegrams]

“I want to hike those peaks.”

Upon hearing this request, William Dale quickly replied.

"If you can send back a plane, I will go with you immediately!"

This is a remarkable discovery!

And next we will need to adjust the inspection route.

The location and method of fuel supply will also have to be adjusted.

after all.

If Lake built a new camp at the foot of those mountains.

Both drilling experiments and aerial observation flights require a lot of fuel!

And soon, Lake replied.

"I decided to set up camp where the plane made an emergency landing on Moulton Hill!"

"The aircraft restoration work has also begun."

"The ice is so thin that exposed black ground can be seen everywhere!"

"I plan to do some drilling and blasting, then go on a sledding or climbing expedition."

And in his words.

Those towering and silent mountains stand at the edge of the world like high walls reaching to the sky.

Being under the shelter of the mountains makes people feel uneasy.

Even though it is nearly seven hundred miles away.

This hint of uneasiness can be clearly revealed between the lines.

Even he himself didn't understand what he was afraid of? !

[The next morning]

In the morning, Lake, Captain Douglas and I

A three-way radio conference was held at three distant bases.

Through negotiation, we reached an agreement.

[Lake will send a plane to our camp so that Pabodi, I and five other people can go to the new camp to meet them]

[In addition, the plane must carry as much fuel as possible]

[Southern Camp will be closed for a period of time]

【but】

At 4 p.m., our work was interrupted several times.

[Because Lake sent the most bizarre and exaggerated]

[Of course, this is also information that makes Professor Lake so excited that he can hardly contain himself]

"We started sampling from the softest rock we could find nearby."

"The drilling is progressing very smoothly."

"About three hours later, a major explosion took place."

"A cavern was blasted out of it. The limestone bed contains a rich variety of small fossils, including cephalopods, corals, spiny sea urchins, and limpets!"

"Not only that, but the drilling probe later fell into a cavity."

"Through a jagged opening about five feet wide and three feet deep, we saw a low limestone passage – a passage that dates back more than 50 million years (bbdf)!"

When I heard the news.

For a moment, the entire scientific expedition team was in an excitement!

Because what this represents is self-evident!

Even William Dell couldn't help swallowing.

He clenched his fists suddenly.

now.

The scene in the live broadcast room suddenly changed.

Professor Lake's figure came into view. He was leading several people into the underground cave.

After half an hour of sorting, his face was full of excitement.

I continued quickly on my notebook.

"A fragment of a massive mosasaur skull, dinosaur vertebrae and bone plates, a pterodactyl wing bone, a fragment of an Archaeopteryx limb, Miocene shark teeth, a primitive bird skull, and other primitive mammal bones..."

"The sheer number of fossils of these ancient, primitive organisms is truly extraordinary."

"Molton, go back and send the information to Lake!"

Hear this.

Morton did not dare to delay and immediately turned around and left the cave.

【after】

[A triangular stripe pattern similar to that found in the Archean slate was found in the rock]

[This indicates that this organism has been thriving for 600 million years]

If there is any change, this creature in the later period has actually degenerated to some extent.

[As Lake speculated]
