Starting from the Dragon Tribe

Uesugoshi looked at the actor-like young man who left early after finishing the meal, and said calmly: "What a handsome child. Such a young Kabuki actor is rare. His parents must be very proud."

Lu Chen paused after hearing this, and thought to himself, Master, you don't know that he looks like a kabuki actor on the surface, but in fact he might be a super murderer.

Although you seem to be quite strong, you may not be able to beat this sissy when she goes crazy.

Oh, it's hard to say, after all, he now knows that the fighting power of hybrids depends on the spirit.

This was one of the reasons why he did not attack Kazama Liuli easily. If it was a difficult Yanling, he might not be able to get a good deal due to his drunken state and lack of weapons.

Moreover, Fengjian Liuli's words gave him the feeling that he could become stronger.

"By the way, master, don't you have any children? At your age, you go out pushing a cart to sell ramen at night."

Lu Chen wiped his mouth and asked.

Uesugoshi shook his head, with no expression on his face. "My life was ridiculous when I was young. I still don't think about children. I don't have the confidence to teach my children well."

The Emperor's Blood is a wrong existence, just end it with him.

"That's it."

Lu Chen sighed slightly, stopped talking, and concentrated on eating noodles.

"Next time you have time, please bring that girl to eat noodles. She seems to be a... girl who is quite afraid of being lonely."

Uesugoshi brought the topic back again, but Lu Chen didn't say anything this time and just nodded silently.

………………

Mount Fuji, on the mountainside.

Many tourists looked at the long construction partitions and complained, thinking that this kind of thing really ruined the scenery. Some people even denounced the capitalists, saying that they were tarnishing the sacred mountain.

Because they could hear the sound of drilling construction coming from the distance behind the partition, but there were also people who were familiar with history who quietly reminded their companions and pulled them away to visit other places.

Those construction partitions have two big characters "Tokugawa" written on them.

Yes, this is the process of unblocking the eight Sheqi families. It is very troublesome to start construction on Mount Fuji, and it is difficult for them to move in as quickly as possible with their connections in the government.

Because Mount Fuji, which is famous throughout the country and even the world, is not actually owned by the state, but private property.

Even the Japanese government needs to pay huge rent to the real owner of Mount Fuji every year. This sacred mountain in the hearts of Japanese people returned to the hands of its former owners, the Tokugawa family, in 2004.

The Tokugawa family was also a once very powerful branch of the mixed race in Japan. It was pushed by the shadow emperor with royal blood to manage the country openly, and it was very prosperous. This grand situation lasted for 260 years.

But there is no family in the world that will never fall. Even the once-high-ranking nobles and the Eight Sheqi families turned into underworld after the economic decline.

The rule of the Tokugawa shogunate was impacted by the budding capitalism, and finally collapsed completely in 1868... This is what the serious history books say.

In fact, the emergence of capitalism and the emergence of new production methods only impacted the Tokugawa shogunate on one side. The Tokugawa family was actually destroyed in the hands of ghosts, which were extremely evil ghosts.

Even at that time, the Shadow Emperor personally led his troops on an expedition to bury the extremely evil ghost. The Tokugawa family was also severely weakened and fell out of power amid the doubts of many nobles.

Afterwards, the Tokugawa family withdrew from the stage of history and became a mixed-race family that remained independent of the world. Now they no longer care about the prophecies of fate.

When Tokugawa Tsuneaki saw Tachibana Masamune, he was unhappy. Although the Tokugawa family still has dragon blood flowing through them over the years, it is no longer the kind of family that fights and kills.

But when Tachibana Masamune handed him a piece of information, his expression changed after reading it. He understood that fate cannot be avoided. Even if they hide for so many years, what should come will eventually come.

After a confidential discussion, no one knew what kind of deal they had made, but the next day many equipment from Genji Heavy Industries went up the mountain and blocked Mount Fuji from the waist up overnight, with the word "Tokugawa" printed on the construction partitions in large letters.

All opposition voices within the government were silenced, and all departments gave the green light to the Sheqi Family's operation.

Standing in front of a monitoring instrument, Miyamoto Shio gave orders to many exploration personnel. The huge earth drilling machine roared and had to stop and re-measure every once in a while.

"Master, please go and rest for a while."

A staff member reminded me kindly.

Miyamoto Shio has not slept for several days. He needs to control the progress of every excavation in real time, and he needs to analyze any anomalies underground at any time.

It’s no wonder he was so nervous. Even if there might not be a god down there, he was still trembling with fear when he directed the excavation and exploration. The same was true for other staff members. This was no different from other places. This was... in Mount Fuji!

This is one of the largest active volcanoes in the world!

Although in theory such a "small movement" of an earth drill could not cause a volcanic eruption, Shizuo Miyamoto still did not dare to take it lightly. If God did not detect it by then and he accidentally caused Mount Fuji to erupt, then he would not only be The sinners of the Sheqi Eight Family are simply the sinners of all Japan.

"Ten meters further down, if there is no abnormality, all work will be stopped and everyone will rest for half a day."

Miyamoto Shio nodded. He really couldn't stand it anymore, but he didn't dare to let everyone start work when he was away.

……………

Lu Chen had just gotten up at this time, preparing to wash up and pick up Caesar and Chu Zihang from the hospital.

He and Eri played until three o'clock in the night before going to bed last night. Fortunately, he was very energetic and felt full after a few hours' rest.

I heard that the Japanese branch has been exploring for some time, and the other party has compromised. Several of their headquarters specialists can participate in the entire exploration operation. However, he felt that he could not understand anything by running there alone. It would be better to stay in the hotel and Hui Liyi plays games.

The physical fitness of the mixed race is indeed not good. Chu Zihang and Caesar's injuries were not minor, but they recovered after only a week, but the scars have not been removed.

"I may be busy these days. If I want to play, I will tell Eriki in advance."

He sent Eryi a text message on Line, and starting from today, he officially entered work mode.

After going downstairs, Yuan Zhisheng's business Mercedes-Benz was already waiting for him. It seemed that the exploration had indeed entered a more critical moment.

Sakura drove as fast as ever, and soon they arrived at the hospital where Caesar and the two were.

Lu Chen opened the window and greeted the two of them with a smile.

I heard that Caesar was scolded, and he could have been discharged from the hospital earlier, but drinking that day caused him to bleed again, but this drunken Italian nobleman only paid attention to the issue of sofa compensation.

"It's okay." Caesar nodded and got into the car, then complained to Yuan Zhisheng in the front row: "It's just that your Japanese doctors are a bit verbose."

Chu Zihang, on the other hand, remained silent. This was also the case when he was scolded by the doctor. In the end, the doctor did not dare to speak because he felt that this expressionless young man was as cold as a killer, as if he would grab the bedside table if he continued talking. The fruit knife cut open his throat.

"By the way, you guys, how about diving?"

Yuan Zhisheng looked back from the front row and asked.

Lu Chen was a little confused when he heard about diving. Weren't they going for geological exploration?

"It depends on whether you are talking about equipment diving or naked diving. I can go up to about 400 meters without any equipment, but it is difficult to move."

When it comes to diving, Caesar is very confident. He is a good player.

With the help of diving equipment, he can even operate in the deep sea at a depth of 600 to 700 meters for a period of time, more than twice the world record.

"As expected of someone who has the confidence to go out to sea on a sailboat with his girlfriend, but Mr. Gattuso, we don't need to dive that deep this time, and the diving equipment will naturally be equipped with the most advanced equipment."

Yuan Zhisheng praised that although he ended up drunk a few days ago, he would never forget what Caesar said.

"Call me Caesar."

Everyone has drank together and talked about their dreams. Caesar is no longer so hostile to Yuan Zhisheng, not to mention that he hates others calling him by his last name. Before Gattuso, he was Caesar.

And he was in a good mood recently. With Lu Chen's approval, Chu Zihang taught him the blood-violence method in the hospital. Our Italian nobleman finally regained his confidence and realized that he would never be a member of the team again. As a burden, he will prove himself again in the mission.

Chu Zihang's question relieved Lu Chen's doubts, "I heard that we are looking for an underground river. Do we want to sneak in to search for traces of dragons?"

Yuan Zhisheng nodded, "The Red Ghost River should be a branch of the Red Ghost River, and it was also discovered by us recently."

Lu Chen raised his hand and spoke: "We want to dive into the underground river?"

It's not that he has any claustrophobia, but even a "bumpkin" like him knows that there are high-tech things like exploration robots nowadays. Why should people take risks?

But Caesar and Chu Zihang were not surprised. Chu Zihang said to Lu Chen seriously: "Brother Lu, so you should go to class more often."

Lu Chen looked a little embarrassed.

"After our investigation and analysis, it is likely that there is an ancient dragon sleeping there, maybe a third-generation species, maybe a second-generation species...in short, it should be a big guy."

Yuan Zhisheng opened his mouth to explain, but after a pause he did not say the most terrifying suspicion.

"Brother Lu, you also have experience in conquering third-generation species. You should know that the magnetic field caused by the dragon's spiritual realm will cause electronic equipment to malfunction, so there is no way to send a robot to investigate."

Chu Zihang added, and Lu Chen suddenly realized, remembering that when he was in Namaqualand, even the helicopter seemed unable to land.

"So do you need our headquarters commissioner to go down together?"

Lu Chen confirmed.

Yuan Zhisheng nodded, "This is the request of your headquarters. Let the headquarters commissioners participate in this survey throughout the entire process. Of course you must participate in the most important link."

Caesar smiled: "It sounds like a young man who was offered free money, but you made a good plan."

Yuan Zhisheng looked embarrassed for a moment, but he still said: "You are the most elite hybrids in this department, and what is hidden underneath may be an ancient dragon. The average-level hybrids may not be able to withstand that kind of pressure. , the exploration mission is just empty talk.”

"It always feels like it's trying to bury us underneath."

Caesar lit a cigar, and it seemed that his joking words were not unreasonable. At this time, the Japanese branch and the secret party were seemingly inseparable.

"Don't worry, I will go down with you."

However, Yuan Zhisheng's words dispelled the doubts of several people. The high-ranking underworld young masters personally took action. No matter how crazy the people in the Japanese branch were, they couldn't possibly kill their own young masters.

"Should we not just go down to explore?"

Lu Chen wondered how much his strength would be affected in the underground river and how to deal with it if an encounter was triggered.

However, Yuan Zhisheng's words made him a little disappointed, "The main thing is to survey and locate the guy's location. It should still be sleeping. We can't fight it underground."

At this time, Chu Zihang spoke, "After positioning, what is the branch's current plan? It is impossible to use alchemical sulfur bombs on Mount Fuji."

Yuan Zhisheng snapped his fingers. Ying, who was driving, took out a Pad from nowhere. Yuan Zhisheng picked it up and operated it twice before handing it to a few people in the back row.

"Mercury injection?"

Caesar glanced at the beginning of the plan on the Pad, "But underground rivers are usually extremely fast, so this will not do much good. It just pollutes the environment."

Yuan Zhisheng stretched out his hand and scratched the Pad and said: "We have been hollowing out a piece of land on Mount Fuji for several days as a backup for the branch's drainage. Once we confirm the location of the guy, we will carry out small-power fixed-point blasting to block it. The water flow from the branch was broken, and then a large amount of mercury was poured in from above, making the guy weak first."

As he spoke, he slid the interface again, "Then we used a high-power earth drill to accurately locate and open the channel, and used the large harpoon we temporarily developed to carry the Philosopher's Stone to pierce his body, kill it and open the waterway. , introducing mercury into a pool prepared in advance and then dredging the original branch road does not pollute the environment.”

The picture shows a large harpoon launcher, but the shape looks like an oversized ground-penetrating missile launcher, and the so-called harpoon is a spear-like alchemical weapon, launched by the power of technology. The speed can exceed six times the speed of sound in an instant!

Caesar smiled after reading it, "Interesting plan, it sounds like we are going whale hunting."

His tone was teasing, and in fact he just reiterated that this plan was unreliable.

"There are so many variables."

Chu Zihang, who had always been a man of few words, also spoke, flipping through the plan, not optimistic about it.

Let’s not talk about whether a large amount of mercury can quickly weaken the ancient dragon, nor whether the large harpoon will be blocked by the unknown spirit of the ancient dragon after being launched. Let’s just say that if... they are in the process of investigation, then Just the cologne wakes up?

Rather, Chu Zihang and others think this possibility is very high, because according to the inference of the headquarters, the ancient dragon on Mount Fuji may have had unknown exchanges with the ancient dragon captured by Lu Chen in Namaqualand.

Of course, the ancient dragon that slept to death would not respond to the words of its companions, which proved that the ancient dragon under Mount Fuji had woken up at least once.

"Mount Fuji is an embarrassing place. We don't dare to go to war. The risk of small-scale fixed-point blasting cannot be said to be completely zero. This is the best plan that the branch can come up with."

Yuan Zhisheng had no choice but to spread his hands. He also felt that it was not reliable, but they had no better way.

When choosing the lineup of this dive team, he had already considered the worst case scenario. At least with him and Lu Chen here, he would not be helpless against the awakening Gu Long.

Now that they have discovered it, it is impossible for them to ignore the ancient dragon, not to mention that the ancient dragon is probably the legendary god.

Escape is not the solution to the problem. Even if they pretend not to see it, the ancient dragon will wake up sooner or later and bring major disaster to Japan.

Instead of waiting for the ancient dragon to fully wake up and resume its state to roar around the world, they should strike first!

No more updates on the underworld. From now on, updates on the underworld will be done at noon.
