List of the top ten behind-the-scenes heroes: Demon Slayer Corps

"do not know!"

Professor Schneider shook his head, frowning.

"How could a god be killed so easily? It seems the situation over at Sakura is even worse than we imagined. No wonder that guy Ange went there in person!"

The old cowboy vice principal also stopped laughing.

The roofs of the ancient buildings were covered with iron-black tiles, on which were engraved cirrus clouds and dragon beasts.

Hundreds of meters long metal chains were hung on the four corners of the building, with black wind chimes hanging on the chains.

Thousands of black wind chimes sway, playing silent music.

I have never seen such a magnificent architectural style in all the ruins of civilizations in the world.

"The city radiates outward from the central square... If there are roads, it means the city was built on the ground and later sank underwater. The huge square indicates that dragons often hold grand religious activities!"

Chu Zihang analyzed while taking quick notes.

"What religion do the dragon race believe in? The Divine Dragon Cult?"

Amidst the tense atmosphere, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but once again display his sarcastic nature, bringing the shocked people back to their senses and making them smile knowingly.

The Trieste cruised past the tall tower in the center of the city.

After consulting the command center, Caesar turned on the sonar system and began searching for the embryo's heartbeat.

Seawater is an excellent medium for sound, and sound waves are the most powerful tool for underwater exploration.

The equipment department's technical capabilities allow it to capture the embryo's heartbeat signal on the sea surface.

Then they should be able to locate the embryos very accurately using sonar.

However,,,

The reality is not as expected.

According to the sonar display, regular heartbeats can be detected in all directions.

It was as if countless dragon embryos were hidden in this dead city, or perhaps this was the heartbeat of the city.

"How about we just drop the sulfur bomb? We'll just hit wherever it hits. I don't want to stay in this place any longer!"

Lu Mingfei said nervously.

Such an unreliable proposal was naturally rejected.

"Look ahead!"

Chu Zihang pointed forward, as if he had discovered something.

Directly in front of the submersible is a tilted building that looks similar to a cherry blossom torii.

However, it is built with black metal, and its height is far beyond that of ordinary torii, at fifty meters.

The Trieste slowly approached the Torii Gate, at this moment.

"Gate! Torii is also a kind of gate!"

Professor Main was the first to react.

"Don't come near! Don't come near! Return! Return!"

Professor Schneider screamed hysterically.

However, there was no response at all.

Just seconds ago, the Sakura branch cut off communication.

"Fuck!!!"

"Door! That's also a kind of door!"

"Professor Schneider gave us a stern warning before the mission began!"

“Once you see the gate, you should immediately turn back, but the torii gate is too confusing!”

"And the Sakura branch... they've actually cut off communication. Are they planning a rebellion?"

"That's right! This ancient city is their most secret place, the God's Burial Ground!"

"The goals of the Snake Eight Clans and Kassel Academy have never been consistent!"

Until I heard Professor Main and Professor Schneider shouting.

Only then did the people in all the heavens and worlds finally react one after another.

For a moment, countless people's hearts were pounding.

He secretly clenched his fists and worried about Caesar's team.

Take inventory of the light curtain.

Because of the Sakura branch Kaguya cut off contact.

The three members of the headquarters did not hear Professor Schneider's roar.

They also don't realize the connection between torii and gates.

At this moment.

They were completely immersed in the shock brought by the ancient Dragon City.

Eager to explore and discover the hidden secrets of this city.

So much so that even when Yuan Zhisheng said that he had lost contact with Norma due to the solar sunspot eruption, they didn't think much about it.

certainly,,,

In addition to the tight time schedule, it was also related to the heart-to-heart conversation we had last night.

The steadiness and sense of responsibility displayed by the tortoise Yuan Zhisheng successfully won the trust of the trio, especially Caesar.

The Sakura branch's Kaguya system accessed the channel instead of Norma and analyzed and compared the text on the torii gate according to Caesar's requirements.

at the same time.

Chu Zihang, who was silent on the side, suddenly frowned.

"The Lie Ning! We dived from the location where the Lie Ning crashed. The 134-meter-long icebreaker should be a very conspicuous target, but we still haven't found it... It's impossible for such a huge target to be completely submerged in the seabed. Most of it should still be exposed."

Chu Zihang raised this crucial question.

Since it is possible to capture the heartbeat signal of dragon embryos.

Then the icebreaker should exist in the ancient city.

"Will it be crushed by the high pressure?"

Lu Mingfei asked.

"No, the sunken Lie Ning is surrounded by seawater inside and outside, so the pressure is balanced!"

Chu Zihang denied it immediately.

"It's there! The Grinning is inside the ruins! We couldn't find it because it was covered in shellfish! It's been submerged for twenty years, so it definitely doesn't look like it in the pictures. It should look like part of the ruins!"

Caesar reacted and quickly flipped through the photos to look for it.

"Boss, don't look at the pictures, look at the top!"

Lu Mingfei seemed to have discovered something and raised his hand to point.

Behind the torii gate, there is a strangely shaped building ruin, like a mountain rising from the ground.

The camera zoomed in, revealing thousands of black snail-like shellfish tightly packed together, wriggling in dense masses.

"Fuck! Good news for trypophobia!"

All the trypophobia sufferers in the universe were terrified on the spot, and some even fainted.

"Um, is this the cafeteria?"

In the world of food, A Lu frowned.

"Aaaa...Mr. Alu, what do you mean?"

Xiaosong stuttered.

"Those tiny shellfish are constantly reproducing, with thousands of offspring being born every minute!"

Suni Dao, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Gourmet Food.

"The reason this rapid reproduction hasn't caused a flood is because it's a dining hall for marine life. Fish eat the shellfish, and other predators eat the fish, layer by layer!"

Kekedao, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Gourmet.

"And dragon genes are passed down through the food chain. If these snail shells are the carriers of the original dragon genes, then it's also the dragon genes that are driving their rapid reproduction. It looks like we've found it!"

A Lu nodded in understanding.

Take inventory of the light curtain.

"The dragon embryo is right in front of us. Those marine creatures have mutated because of it. We found it!"

Chu Zihang took a deep breath and said solemnly.

at this time.

"The search found a matching target. In the Sakura 'Kamiyo Characters' font library, the pattern in the photo represents—Takamagahara!!!"

Kaguya's system reported.

Wow~

The world with cherry blossoms as the backdrop was in uproar.

Because the three words "Takama-ga-hara" have extraordinary meaning.

That is the legendary gathering place of the gods.

For the half-bloods in the dragon world.

This discovery is also revolutionary.

"The Shindai script is not Sakura script at all. It is another kind of prehistoric script, a hieroglyphic script derived from Dragon script!"

All the history professors at Kassel College shouted excitedly.

"The Sakura God refers to the Dragon Clan. The history of the God Clan in mythology is actually the history of a Dragon Clan!"

Professor Good clenched his fists and his face flushed red.

"The Sakura Branch... The Eight Snake Families are descendants of the gods. Some of them inherited the bloodline of the White Emperor... The only question now is how exactly did they inherit the White Emperor's bloodline?"

Professor Maine shook his head and murmured in shock.

Because the Sakura branch is disconnected.

This was the first time they knew about these things.

"The door! They finally got through the door! Something terrible is about to happen!"

Professor Schneider screamed in horror.

"Schneider..."

The old cowboy vice principal wanted to comfort her, thinking that things couldn't be that weird.

However, he stopped abruptly before he could finish his words.

Because at the moment when the Trieste passed the torii gate.

The dead and silent ancient dragon city has really changed.

"Damn it, is this an undersea earthquake?"

Frost yelled nervously.

"No! It's embryos! Multiple 'embryos' are about to wake up!"

Professor Schneider opened his bloodshot eyes, probably anticipating what would happen next.

Inventory of light curtains

"Calling the Trieste, no submarine tremors were detected, and the Earthquake Bureau has not released any news about an undersea earthquake!"

Yuan Zhisheng denied the trio's claim about the earthquake.
