Chapter 229: The Dragon Returns to the Sea, but the Sea Does Not Welcome Me Back to the Well

As the largest creditor of the Sheqi Eight Clans, Su Enxi knew too much about the public information of the Sheqi Eight Clans.

After Herzog was exposed, she had people dig up and examine everything he had done over the years as the patriarch of the Eight Sheqi Families.

One of the projects caught her attention.

According to the records of the Snake Eight Families, the original descendants of the White King once established a glorious civilization on the land of Japan, but it gradually declined due to the revival of the White King.

After thousands of years of changes, the four islands of Japan were submerged by sea water several times. The large amount of sand and gravel brought by the sea water covered the glorious remains of the Age of Gods layer by layer, and now it is estimated that they are buried in the strata tens of meters deep.

The report given by geological experts is that under the condition of natural sedimentation, the remains of the Age of Gods should be buried in a layer of fifty to one hundred meters, and a method of exploration for the remains of the Age of Gods based on groundwater hydrology was provided.

The theory of this method comes from analyzing the metal components such as copper and tin in groundwater flows and the reasons for the diversion of underground rivers.

Although the expert who proposed this exploration method did not discover any relics from the Age of Gods before his death, the method he left behind is still in use today.

It is worth mentioning that the person who agreed to use the groundwater exploration method was none other than Uesugi Yue, the shame of the Snake Eight Clans.

In order to excavate the remains of the Age of Gods, the Snake Eight Families began funding geological institutions nearly a hundred years ago. The excavation depth ranged from tens of meters to hundreds of meters, and the width radiated from Tokyo to all directions, but nothing was found.

After Tachibana Masamune came to power, he waved his hand and directly increased the drilling depth from 100 meters to 300 meters.

Although the cost increased dramatically, the harvest was equally gratifying. They found various evidences proving the existence of that glorious ancient civilization.

Of course, it’s not a giant stone statue of light with light bulbs on its head and a timer hanging on its chest.

Instead, there were underground rivers rich in copper and tin, branches of underground rivers that had mysteriously changed their course, and fragments of the remains of hybrid species.

“The Sheqi Eight Clans have sent many people to work in those geological exploration institutions, but there are also many of my people among them.”

Su Enxi took out her notebook and clicked on a document transferred through an encrypted channel, which listed all the drilling points explored by the Eight Snake Qi Clans in the past hundred years.

The black marks are drilling points at a depth of 100 meters, and the red marks are drilling points at a depth of 300 meters that were dug after Tachibana Masamune came to power.

On the map, there are countless black drilling points, while there are several times fewer red drilling points, but their distribution is more smooth and reasonable.

At first glance, the black and red map seems to record a cockroach surrounded by a group of ants.

There is a key mark in a certain area of ​​the cockroach’s head.

“At present, the Eight Snake Families have not yet grasped the exact location, but Tachibana Masamune has always been deliberately narrowing the scope of drilling.” Su Enxi pointed to the marked area.

“In the past two years, the focus of geological exploration has been shifting towards Yamanashi Prefecture. He has roughly locked down the location of the well where the corpses are hidden. Now all that’s left is to do the work slowly and carefully.”

Lu Mingfei stared at the bright red drilling points on the computer screen, looking thoughtful:

“Are all geological survey teams in the Tokyo metropolitan area under Herzog’s control?”

Whether in his previous life or this life, Lu Mingfei’s parents were both archaeologists and worked as prospectors in geological exploration agencies. So when he heard about geological exploration agencies, he subconsciously thought of his elusive parents.

Could it be that they are not seeing anyone because they are looking for dragons all over the world?
Lu Mingfei was too lazy to think about it, fearing that if he thought about it too carefully, he would discover that he was actually a baby dragon dug out from some corner.

“Most of the exploration institutions on Honshu Island have received investments from the Snake Eight Families. After Tachibana Masamune came to power, they increased their investment efforts.” Su Enxi knew all about these investment matters.

“Can it be speeded up?” Lu Mingfei slid the mouse wheel and read the address exploration reports word by word.

He saw a highlighted Tama River in several reports, and experts discovered an underground river exactly the same as the source of the Tama River.

In the murals of the Sheqi Eight Family that record ancient mythology, the picture describing the well of burials is very mysterious:

A well that penetrates the sky and the earth, standing between the sea of ​​​​frozen water and the sea of ​​​​fire.

The oldest descendant of the White King named Izanagi dived to the bottom of the Cold Water Sea with the holy remains wrapped in linen and gold, threw the holy remains into the well, watched it sink into the sea of ​​fire, and covered the well mouth with a heavy basalt.

This plot that took place ten thousand years ago was perfectly reproduced six years ago. Yuan Zhisheng threw his brother, who was not yet dead, into a cold dry well on a rainy night. No one knew whether it was the cycle of fate or the curse of the royal blood.

However, Lu Mingfei did not think too much about the troubles of the super hybrids. He simply looked at the information about the Tama River and the underground river beneath it.

Yamanashi Prefecture is the place with the most frequent volcanic activity in Japan, and the most famous is Mount Fuji, one of the largest active volcanoes in the world.

The underground river named Akagi River is formed by the confluence of two streams. One stream flows through Mount Fuji and its water temperature is heated by magma, while the other is a normal underground cold current.

Coincidentally, there is a rumor that the Tama River on the ground is one of the sources of water from the eight rivers that the eight heads of the Yamata no Orochi drink.

The combination of the two is no longer a simple indication; it can almost be said that the answer is laid out in the open.

However, among the top leaders of the Eight Snake Clans, only Tachibana Masamune knew about this matter, and the others did not pay much attention to this money-losing deal.

Due to some unspeakable secret, Tachibana Masamune did not reveal this news to anyone else.

“Don’t worry, there are people who are more anxious than you.” Su Enxi sat on the sofa and stretched lazily, her voice lazy and comfortable:
“Herzog’s conspiracy has been completely exposed. He must quickly locate the location of the Well of Corpses while the attention of the Eight Snake Families is focused on Takamagahara. Otherwise, it will be too late.”

Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki were confused by the conversation between the two. Underwater operations were their forte, but at this moment they had no idea what the two were talking about.

Old Tang also touched his head with a puzzled look on his face: “Isn’t the White King hiding under the sea of ​​Japan? If Herzog wants to revive it, why doesn’t he go to the bottom of the sea to fish for dragons, but dig the well of hidden bones?”

“It’s been almost twenty years since Herzog sank the Lenin into the bottom of the sea in Japan. Do you think it’s possible that the White King has already been resurrected?” Lu Mingfei looked at Lao Tang, crossed his hands in front of his nose, and acted in the pretentious way that only Commander Ikari could.

Chu Zihang frowned and said: “After the White King is resurrected, he needs the White King’s bloodline as nutrients to replenish himself, but Takama-ga-hara buried in the deep sea obviously does not have these conditions. It is impossible for Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi to be buried with a bunch of living nutrients.

So if it really comes back to life, it may not stay in the deep sea for long.”

“But Ju… Didn’t Herzog say that the blood of the ancient dragon fetus would contaminate normal life and transform it into a dead pool? What if it contaminated a large number of marine life when it sank to the bottom of the sea?”

Old Tang has a different opinion. What if the white king is not picky about food and chooses to stay on the seabed first, relying on eating dragon blood sea creatures to grow?

Lu Mingfei didn’t dare to make a guarantee, so he could only look at Su Enxi. She was the one who knew the dragon clan best among the people present, especially since she had a little brother who was afraid to see his brother but had great magical powers.

“Dragons need some time to regain their memories and adapt to their bloodline at the beginning of their revival.” Su Enxi seemed to be well prepared and said without stopping:
“At this point they are actually no different from human babies, acting on instinct.

So what will a baby do when it is taken away from its mother’s arms and placed in an unfamiliar environment? Will it clamor to return to its mother’s arms to drink milk, or will it stay where it is and eat whatever is available?

Obviously, the answer is the former.

Chu Zihang felt that everything suddenly became clear when he heard this: “The original Takamagahara was near Tokyo Bay. That was its former territory, but now there is no Takamagahara there, so it can only return to the Well of Corpses, which is both its prison and its unique incubator.”

It must be said that Herzog is very scheming and he single-handedly makes the three forces run around in circles.

If Lu Mingfei and the organization behind him had not intervened, perhaps the Ghost Clan, the Eight Snake Clans, and Kassel Academy would not even know that they were being used as guns.

Thinking of the devastation caused by the White King’s revival, Chu Zihang couldn’t help but sigh sincerely that it was a good thing that Lu Mingfei didn’t choose to open the door of Kassel.

But after listening to Su Enxi’s explanation, Lu Mingfei suddenly fell silent.

Will dragons, like human babies, need time to regain their memories and adapt to their bloodline at the beginning of their revival?

He looked at Old Tang with complicated eyes, then looked down at his own hands that were so flexible that he could greet the ancestors of his teammates or opponents in one second, and his thoughts were a little complicated.

Forget it, the tide is coming in the Qiantang River, and today I know who I am.

The Qiantang River has high tides every year, and I can’t replace it with a new species every year.

Since you have been a human being for decades, just continue to be one.

Anyway, the “memories” I have recovered don’t show that I am non-human.

Even if it is, there are a lot of people around me, so I am not alone.

“Since the White King has been resurrected, even if Herzog finds its location, he won’t be able to subdue it, right?”

Old Tang stroked his chin and used his clever little brain: “The Dragon King has a natural bloodline suppression on hybrids. Without super hybrids, wouldn’t those fierce ghosts be sending their heads to the White King?”

Conventional weapons are unlikely to cause harm to the White King, and unconventional weapons are likely to alert the Japanese government and the Eight Snake Clans. Herzog has few options.

“So, during this period of time, he will definitely take the opportunity to snatch Eri or Genjiro away.” Lu Mingfei tapped the table with his fingers, and a solution came to his mind:

“Humph, I’m not afraid of him coming, I’m just afraid of him not coming.

If he really wants to hide in his shell, I can’t do anything to him.”

It just so happened that Takamagahara Nightclub had been exposed to the sight of the ghosts, so they might as well go back there and wait for their chance.

The fierce ghosts have been defeated, the eight Snake families are busy with internal and external troubles and are unable to take action. With Yuan Zhisheng there to keep them in check, it will not be easy for Herzog to cause trouble.

Having made up his mind, he turned to look at Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki, who were huddled in the corner of the sofa not far away, lowering their heads and pretending not to hear anything. He slapped his forehead and said:

“Oops, sorry, I accidentally let you hear a terrible secret.”

After these words were spoken, everyone’s eyes fell on the quail couple.

Ye Sheng couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile. His mission was to find the King of Bronze and Fire, but how come he came to Japan and accidentally dug out the White King.

That thing is much more brutal than the Bronze and Fire Kings.

“Well, we know so many secrets, you won’t kill us, right?” he joked.

Since Lu Mingfei had no intention of avoiding them from the beginning, it meant that they would be of use to him later. If he really wanted to silence them for such a small matter, he wouldn’t have gone all the way to the ghost base to rescue them.

“Don’t worry, of course not.” Lu Mingfei raised an evil arc at the corner of his lips:

“Just because you heard our secret, you have to board our pirate ship. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for me to deal with you.”

Although, why use the adjective “pirate ship”?

Ye Sheng was too weak to complain, but he still nodded and said, “As long as it’s not against the will of heaven and against human ethics, I’ll do whatever you want.”

“Okay, okay.” Lu Mingfei really values ​​these two underwater aces. They might be the main force to find Constantine in the future, so he must keep them in his own hands.

and……

“We are all friends, and Aki is Mai’s biological sister, so we are family.

No matter how much Kassel College offers you, we will triple it, and we will increase your salary quarterly or annually depending on the situation!”

As he said that, he turned his head and gave Su Enxi a look, and the reply he got was OK, no problem.

As a business genius, Su Enxi doesn’t mind paying a high price to support two underwater operation aces.

These are the elites produced by Kassel College. She didn’t have to invest any initial resources in education or training, so they can be used right away.

It’s completely free, so cool!
Moreover, she was not exaggerating. For these two assistant specialists who had not yet finished their internship, their salary plus subsidies and benefits only made a few dozen W at most a year. Any little that slipped through their fingers would be enough for them to save for several years without eating or drinking.

At worst, she could just take any sports car from the long-legged guy’s garage to save her sister and brother-in-law ten years of hard work.

Ye Sheng and Shude Aki didn’t expect that they would become rebel ninjas so soon, so they couldn’t help feeling a little weird.

It was okay for Aki Shude, as she could stay with her only relative and help the person she loved find a less dangerous job, so she naturally tended to agree.

But Ye Sheng thought about the resources Kassel College had poured into him, Professor Mans’s respect and kindness towards them, and the Dragon King hiding under the Yangtze River, and ultimately he was unable to agree immediately.

Lu Mingfei knew what he was thinking about, which was nothing more than the concepts of heaven, earth, emperor, parents, teachers, loyalty, filial piety, propriety, righteousness, and trustworthiness. He simply added:
“By the way, we provide five insurances and one fund here. Other types of insurance, such as accident insurance, safety insurance, and life insurance, are also fully covered. If you are unfortunately killed during the mission, your family and girlfriend will receive…”

He turned to look at Su Enxi, who said sternly, “The total compensation is no less than 100 million.”

“Snap”, Ye Sheng stood up quickly:

“Where’s the contract?”
