Evolve from a lump of mud

4500 meters underground.

After a long period of excavation, Kyushu officials also realized this.

The further down, the higher the density of the gemstone, the purer the quality.

So they decided to keep digging down.

With

a loud bang, the rock wall was completely pierced.

Everyone froze in place, caught off guard by this sudden situation.

Whether it's transporting ore, arranging lights, or operating machinery, all of a sudden, they forget how to react.

After a while, the accompanying geologist said slowly: "I'll explore first, and then report the general situation upwards." The leader of the

squad nodded.

Immediately, the geologists accompanying them began preliminary exploration.

The geologist was a tall, swarthy man, who looked less like a scholar than a farmer, perhaps because he was always trekking through the rock walls of the mountains.

He approached the hole carefully.

This hole is like a dividing line between two different dimensions.

On this side, there is the glorious human civilization.

Bright, icy and brilliant.

On the other side, there is the depths of the unknown.

Unknown, dangerous, dark.

Now, a small hole has been broken between the two civilizations.

The lights of human civilization followed the entrance of this cave, cautiously probing into the unknown darkness.

The geologist took a flashlight and peered into the deep cavern.

In the darkness, the light of the flashlight condensed into a beam. Inch after inch.

Geologists carefully observe each one, trying to piece together a panoramic view of it.

"It's a big cave. The geologist looked back.

Then he pressed his ear to the rock wall.

"There was the sound of running water, most likely an underground river. "

The geologists took out a lot of instruments that ordinary people couldn't understand, knocked on the rock wall, got some fragments, and began to test them on the spot.

And some inexplicable academic words kept popping out of his mouth.

When everything was done, he turned on the contact.

"Discover special terrain, coordinates xx xx xx. After preliminary exploration, it is speculated that a

message from the ground was transmitted to the research institute on the ground by radio waves.

Of course, this is just a special terrain, and it has not attracted the attention of the institute.

This kind of underground cave, like the rivers and mountains on the ground, is very common.

However, if you want to continue exploration, you do need to gather a lot of manpower.

As a result, the two nearby teams received orders from the research institute that they would complete the finishing tasks of excavation in their respective mines, strengthen the mines, and evacuate within two days.

Two days later, gather in front of the newly discovered cave to explore together.

Prior to this, Team 3, who discovered the cave, conducted a survey in the shallow layers of the cave.

However, just two days ago, Team 3 went awry.

"Boom...",

the machine is still running day and night.

Team 3 did not continue to excavate in the direction of the cave, but the excavation work in other directions could not be stopped.

Power stones are an extremely important resource.

Their excavation work at the moment is racing against time.

Although, as an excavator, as a worker, as a soldier. They don't know to what extent these energy ores can be used by humans, what kind of weapons can be made, and what qualitative leaps they can bring to human lives.

But they know what this energy ore means to humanity.

So they know they can't stop for a moment.

The machinery continued to make noises, leaking out of the small hole, echoing in the endless underground cavern.

After a myriad of reverberations, the sounds overlapped repeatedly, blending into a strange roar, like some kind of giant beast roaring low.

In the depths of the cave, strange and ugly five-headed giant mollusks are awakened by this roar.

The mollusk raised its five wet, sticky heads, its tentacles swaying in the air.

He seemed to sense the direction the sound was coming from.

Then the five heads twisted in the same direction, and the terrifying mouth on the head opened, revealing the dense teeth inside.

He responded silently, as if in response to a provocation from an unknown overlord.

However, the unknown overlord was unconscious.

He is still in this empty space, showing off his presence with his voice.

The giant mollusk was clearly enraged.

He stretched out his five heads and nailed them to the rock wall next to him, shrinking.

The heavy, 9-meter-diameter shell was pulled with ease.

The giant shell crashed against the nearby rock wall with a loud noise.

For a while, the hard rock wall was like tofu slag, and the broken stones began to rain in showers.

......

"Carrara..."

, "Boom...",

huge voices intertwined in the underground space.

The team's geologists are looking down at the rubble in their hands.

At this time, he had already walked towards the underground cave.

A hundred meters above the head is the entrance to the mine.

Yes, he crossed that line and came into the darkness of the unknown.

"The power stones below seem to be more pure!!"

the geologist shouted upwards as he threw his head up.

The man above poked his head out, full of anxiety.

He is a soldier who has participated in the cleanup of demon beasts, so he has more or less fallen into some traumatic stress disorder.

At this time, facing the boundless darkness, the soldiers only felt that there were countless terrifying demon beasts in the darkness, and they were staring at the living human beings with their red eyes.

"You come up first, don't probe any more, wait for the big army. The

soldier shouted downward.

Geologists don't care.

"Rest assured, I won't be very far away. Suddenly

, the geologist stopped what he was doing.

He listened intently, then turned his head in the direction of the cavern's extension.

A strange noise came from that direction, and it seemed to have a tendency to get closer.

The face of the soldier above changed.

"Something

is approaching!" The soldier immediately turned back and shouted, "Stop all activities, prepare for vigilance, there is an unknown creature approaching!"

At the same time, his hand did not stop.

He threw a bundle of rope down the hole and hung down in front of the geologist.

"Hurry up!"

the geologist quickly grabbed the rope and was about to climb up, but suddenly turned back.

"It's too late,"

the geologist muttered.

"Boom..."

After a loud bang, a boulder slammed into the place where the geologist was.

The boulder was like an extraterrestrial meteorite, and humans were just tiny insects in front of him.

The geologists didn't even let out a scream of pain before they turned into a puddle of flesh.

Life is gone in an instant.

The eyes of the soldiers who witnessed all this from the beginning were red.

The tragic scenes of the battle with the demon beast, scene by scene, flashed quickly in his mind.

However, he did not cry out in grief, let alone hesitate.

The countless experiences on the battlefield made him reflexively pull out the weapon on his waist.

Shoot, fight back.

The special bullet hit the white and tender neck of the mollusk, causing it to suffer a lot.

The giant mollusk wielded its five heads and pinned its head deep into the rock.

Then shake it hard.

The huge shell arcs lightly in the air.

It was like a meteor hammer of an extraterrestrial giant, smashing steadily and fiercely at the small entrance.

Destroying.

The hard rock is like an egg roll, lightly broken.

The humans in the range silently turned into blood-spattered patties.

Fortunately, the hole dug by humans is less than 9 meters in diameter.

The huge rock shell was embedded in the narrow corridor, and it was impossible to enter.

The No. 3 squad of 20 people has been reduced by three people, and there are still 17 people left.

Everybody is in a tremble.

Even those who had fought with demon beasts before were equally frightened at this time.

It was the first time they had seen such a huge monster.

This body shape simply breaks through the limitations of human cognition.

What is the concept of a sphere with a diameter of 9 meters?

The interior height of an ordinary building is about 2.7 meters.

If you include the floor slab, it's about three meters.

Therefore, the diameter of 9 meters is roughly equivalent to the height of a three-story building.

If this thing was built entirely by humans, it would be unusual.

There are so many tall things that humans have built.

9 meters only.

At such a height, human beings even look up with an attitude of looking down.

But what if it's a huge monster?

When humans face this thing, I'm afraid there is only fear and despair.

The living man rubbed his eyes incredulously.

In the team, there are some professional jobs that have never faced monsters.

The first reaction of such people is, whether I am reading wrong, whether there is something wrong with my eyes, and

they even unconsciously want to take two steps forward to see this incredible scene more clearly.

And the soldiers who participated in the monster sweeping war were a little calmer.

"Retreat!!"

the captain shouted hoarsely.

"Retreat! All the combatants are ready to fight!" At

this time, the shocked professionals came to their senses, and they staggered into the transport truck with their still trembling legs.

"Aim for the target!" shouted the captain.

An Easter egg smashed into the huge stone ball. A noticeable mark was left.

Suddenly, all the fighters had targets to attack.

They raised their guns and poured fire on that little bit of unbridled fire.

Countless special bullets, with the sound of air explosions, hit the hard shell.

Left....

One by one, there are white marks.

Such an attack did not cause any decisive damage to this thing.

Not even a shallow pit.

"Jingle bell—"

The special bullet continued to bounce away, but the massive round shell did not move.

At this moment, under the shell, a white soft body crept out.

"Whoosh-"

A hurricane rose out of thin air in the hermetically sealed cavern.

"Ahh

The mucus secreted, melting the man's flesh in a few breaths.

Screams resounded in the corridor.
