Chapter 378: Red Devil River and Thunder Valley (Thanks to the book friend Fox Li doesn't eat pears)

present.

Yuan Zhisheng was going to send someone to deliver a few sets of diving equipment so that they could dive down from the entrance of the underground river and see what was going on underneath.

Uchiha Guang raised his hand to stop him, and then made a hand gesture.

With this action.

The "energy" in Uchiha Hikaru's body was slowly gathered, and after a brief stagnation, it spread out in all directions like water waves.

——This is another kind of "explosive energy" that she has trained during this period. Different from the violent energy when defending against enemies in the world of spells, the energy she released at this moment seemed quite gentle. Gen Chisei and the others only felt like they were blown by a breeze, while Uchiha Hikaru relied on this "energy" to see everything that happened within a radius of more than ten kilometers.

Rocks, water, roads, people...

Then there were the floating water plants in the underground river, the swimming eels, and all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants running around and digging holes...

All of this was outlined into a three-dimensional spatial graphic, reflected in Uchiha Hikaru's mind, and then transformed into tentacles with her consciousness, extending farther around her, detecting more pictures and images.

at last.

Uchiha Hikaru captured the shadows of several human-headed snake bodies in a narrow, rugged, dark corridor deep in the underground river.

Following them further forward, we saw a huge underground cave.

This seems to be a place similar to a cave, with ancient stalactites hanging upside down inside, and holes of various sizes scattered on the surrounding rock walls. Some of them are through, and you can hear the faint sound of wind blowing; some are inhabited by creatures such as bats and moles.

There was a pool of deep red water at the bottom of the cave, which looked like blood. Snake-like deadpools were floating in it, using various tools and their own hands to dig something out.

There were also some human figures and a number of large-scale mechanical devices mixed in, which were probably what Herzog had managed to get in an attempt to dig out the "holy remains".

It is worth mentioning that.

The temperature in this cave seemed to be very high. There was a layer of white smoke lingering in the huge cavity, which made the already unclear vision even more blurred. Therefore, Uchiha Guang could not tell who those people were below, or whether Herzog was among them. But this question seemed to no longer need to be verified -

“…Sure enough, it’s here.”

Uchiha Hikaru opened his eyes again, the corners of his lips slightly raised.

In the original work, Herzog excavated the "holy remains".

To be precise, it was he who, with his identity as "Tachibana Masamune", pushed the Snake Eight Families and invested a large amount of money and manpower into this project, and eventually dug out the "God's Burial Place" that had been buried for thousands of years. Then he jumped out at the critical moment, swallowed up the achievements of the Snake Eight Families, and directed the death of the three Genji brothers and sisters.

now.

The pseudonym "Tachibana Masamune" has been exposed.

Most of the spies that Herzog had planted in the Snake Eight Clan were also cleaned up by Uchiha Hikaru after he read their memories. In addition, the Oni Clan was also hit hard by the Executive Bureau. In this case, the only forces that Herzog could mobilize were the few loyal Oni Clan remnants and the Deadpools that he had carefully cultivated.

When they can be controlled, these Deadpools are really good at doing physical work, and there is no need to worry about overuse because they are consumables.

"The cave we just saw should be in... this direction."

Uchiha Guang compared the three-dimensional graphics in his mind with the scene in front of him and quickly determined the location of the cave.

"Pick a few people and I'll take you in." Uchiha Hikaru glanced at Genjiro.

Theoretically, she alone would be enough to deal with Herzog, and it might even be a bit of a waste. But this matter involved Eri's safety after all, and if Gennochisei didn't see it with his own eyes, he, Uesugi Yue, and the Snake Eight Clan would probably not feel at ease.

"……it is good."

Gen Chisei nodded, called Crow and Yabuki Sakura, and then ordered Yasha to stay outside and be responsible for the support.

Uchiha Hikaru was no stranger to these three retainers. After nodding in greeting, he opened "Shangri-La".

The dark purple teleportation array pattern appeared again, covering Uchiha Hikaru, Eri, and Minamoto Chisei.

A breath.

The figures of several people disappeared along with the light, and when they reappeared, they had already arrived in a dark cave - this was one of the countless large and small holes on the rock wall surrounding the cave. At this moment, a deafening roar sounded at the right time, causing the surrounding rock walls to tremble continuously, and the feet of the Uchiha people were shaking as if there was an earthquake.

Rumbling--

"……what happened?"

The crow subconsciously reached out to grab the rock wall next to him.

Yabuki Sakura took a few steps forward, looked over, and whispered, "This place... seems to be the Thunder Valley in the myth."

"It is rumored that there is an underground river called 'Akagi River' in the Tokyo area. It flows through an area similar to the Tama River. It is formed by the confluence of two streams of water. One is boiling water that flows into Mount Fuji and is heated by magma, and the other is cold underground water. When the two are mixed, a huge sound is made, like a thunder valley..."

After a pause, Yabuki Sakura added: "There are indeed a lot of deadpools below. This should be the work of that adult."

talking.

Several people came to the front of the hole. Looking down, they could see the underground cavity hundreds of meters below, which was as large as two or three football fields, and the dark red river that emitted a huge amount of water vapor due to the alternation of cold and hot. The figures of the deadpools looked a little small in the river.

"…Only he can pull off this kind of show. I didn't expect he has so many Deadpools under his command."

Yuan Zhisheng glanced down and his expression turned a little ugly.

to be honest……

Until now, he still has complicated feelings towards Herzog. After all, the latter has been conscientiously playing "Tachibana Masamune" for so many years, and the time he and him have been on a father-son basis is much longer than that between him and Uesugi Yue. Intellectually knowing that the other party is pretending is one thing, but emotionally it is another feeling.

Therefore, seeing his "father" going further and further down the wrong path, Yuan Zhisheng felt somewhat heartbroken.

Yabuki Sakura was calmer. She quickly scanned the surroundings and roughly estimated the number of enemies:

"We can see Deadpools in the field of vision, about 120 of them, and there may be more underwater. The number of humans is about 20, all of them are hybrids, and their levels are not low, probably all A-level."
