Tamu Immortal of Mt. Miaomu

Chapter 286 Loulan Archaeological Documentary
Compared with Sasuke's colorful life, Tam's life as a scientific research assistant in Loulan seemed bleak, or downright boring.

This is not to say that the research topic Tamm participated in is boring. You must know that dragon veins are a mysterious and great thing.

When traveling through time and space, Tam saw the magnificent scene of the dragon burst in that short second:
Under the Dragon Vein Altar, there is a bottomless circular tiankeng with a diameter of hundreds of meters.

When the dragon veins erupted, the endless chakras that surged up from the ground went straight up to the sky along the tiankeng, reached the peak in a short moment, and then disappeared without a sound.

The chakra beam of light, which was hundreds of meters wide, almost overturned Tam's perception of the world.

In such a scene, I'm afraid it would be a bit reluctant to call Ten Tails over.

Invincible to the point of loneliness, Tam finally began to feel a little in awe of the hidden power of this world.

It's a pity that the more powerful something is, the harder it is to approach.

Researchers from five major countries worked together for two weeks, but found almost nothing:
They didn't find anything special from this ruins except for the residual fluctuations of the large space-time ninjutsu.

And the bottomless dragon vein tiankeng, they have also thoroughly investigated:

This tiankeng actually has a bottom, about a thousand meters deep, and then there is a loose layer of ordinary sandy soil.
In this sinkhole, researchers did not find anything related to chakra.

If it weren't for the irrefutable evidence, no researcher would believe that chakras would emerge from these sandy soils.

Everyone knows common sense about Chakra, but how can Chakra exist in a dead thing like sand?

Tam couldn't figure it out either, so he pinned his hope of returning home to Orochimaru to a certain extent.

After all, Orochimaru's ability in scientific research is obvious to all, and various black technologies emerge in endlessly.

However, the research Tamu did after Orochimaru came to Loulan was somewhat incomprehensible.

He didn't even enter the ruins of Loulan, so he ordered a large number of ninjas to dig a hole in the nearby desert.

Tam, a volunteer experimental assistant, was also turned into an excavator by Orochimaru, waving a big fairy tongue day and night to dig sand in the desert.

After several days of archaeological work, Orochimaru finally harvested a large number of ancient animal bones from the desert, and inexplicably started paleontological research.

Later, Orochimaru ran into the Dragon Vein Tiankeng.

However, he did not start with chakra as Tam imagined, but instead played a guest role as a geologist.

a few days later
Under the Dragon Vein Tiankeng.

Orochimaru simply set up a temporary studio in the thousand-meter-deep underground, installed a generator and a computer, and was busy operating in front of the computer.

Tam watched closely, but it did not affect Orochimaru's work progress at all. He was used to being entangled by this clingy monitor.

After a long time, the sand beneath his feet surged, and several more identical Orochimaru emerged from the deeper ground using earth escape.

As soon as they showed up, they walked to Dashemaru's computer workbench and busily entered the recorded data.

Tam was not surprised. He had become accustomed to the existence of these snake clones in the past two days.

These avatars are tools used by Orochimaru to investigate the sandy soil layer under their feet. They all have the special perception ability of Orochimaru's body, and they are extremely efficient humanoid detectors.

However, what made Tam a little disgusted was that he couldn't tell the difference between the snake clone and the main body at all.

At this time, several Orochimaru sitting in front of the computer all showed excited expressions.

Tam asked quickly, "Have you achieved anything?"

After being an archaeological team member and a geological team member for several days, Tam also guessed what Orochimaru was thinking:

He probably wanted to investigate the origin of the dragon veins.

Orochimaru nodded and seemed to have no intention of avoiding Tam: "I can probably determine where the dragon vein comes from."

"Oh?"

Tam responded curiously.

Although he participated in the entire investigation and found some suspicious points, Tam failed to connect the clues together.

Orochimaru said slowly: "I have learned about the legends handed down from the ancient country of Loulan"

Tam was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect Orochimaru's starting point to be those illusory legends.

Orochimaru just went on to say:

"Although most of those legends are unbelievable, there are still some things worth noting."

"First of all, in terms of age, Loulan civilization has existed for many years, and its birth time was even before the era of ninjas."

Orochimaru paused, and quietly increased his tone:

"And the Loulan clan's record of dragon veins almost started at the same time as the emergence of ninjas."

Tam realized something right away:
"what do you mean"

"The appearance of this dragon vein is also related to that sacred tree?"

"That's right."

Orochimaru glanced at Tam: "The research report on paleontology a few days ago, Mr. Tam, you should be able to see the doubts, right?"

Tam nodded. There were enough doubts in it to broadcast dozens of episodes of "Access to Science":
The animal bones they dug up are extremely large, but they are all densely concentrated in the soil layer at the same depth. The results of dating also prove that the death time of these animals is not far behind.

Even more peculiar: among these animal bones, they also found the remains of large fish.

But this place is actually an endless desert.

Based on Tam's half-baked level from the popular science column, he can know that a devastating environmental disaster has definitely occurred here.

Orochimaru added:
"In the legend of Loulan, the ancient Loulan was a livable place with lush water and grass"

"According to the oral history, there should still be a huge lake called 'Lop Nur' next to the ancient Loulan Kingdom."

"But with the record of the dragon's veins, only the description of the great desert remains in the legend of Loulan."

Orochimaru hinted again in a subtle tone:
"And from the dating of those animal bones, we can see that this dramatic environmental change only occurred in just a few decades."

"What do you think could have caused this?"

The situation is already obvious, and "Prophet" Tam also understands the nature of the sacred tree.

So Tam said the idea very cooperatively:
"It's the Chakra God Tree!"

"That tree sucked the life out of the land?"

Tam suddenly reacted:
"That is to say."

"Is this where the sacred tree took root?"

Speaking of this, Orochimaru became a little excited: "That's right!"

"I believe that the so-called dragon vein is actually a wound in the earth, a scar left after being parasitized by the sacred tree!"

Tam couldn't keep up with Orochimaru's train of thought: "But."

"Isn't this conclusion a bit too wide?"

Orochimaru pointed to the soft sand under his feet, and said:
"The Longmai Tiankeng we are in at the moment was actually buried by sand after drastic changes."

"The loose sandy soil under our feet is completely different from the surrounding solid rock formations."

Orochimaru turned sideways again and showed Tam the three-dimensional model displayed on the computer:
"In the past few days, I have used my avatar, Earth Dungeon, to sneak and map the true appearance of this dragon vein tiankeng."

"Finally, I confirmed: this Dragon Vein Tiankeng is not naturally formed at all, but is 'man-made'."

Tam looked at the huge three-dimensional model of the Longmai Tiankeng on the computer screen, and couldn't imagine:

He and Orochimaru were already in the ground thousands of meters deep, and there was still a complex, huge, and countless times far-reaching space under their feet, but they were all buried by the falling sand.

And it can be seen from the complete three-dimensional model.
Tam expressed his thoughts: "The structure of the underground space of the dragon vein is very similar to the root system of a big tree."

He finally followed Dashewan's train of thought completely:

"In other words, this is where the roots of the sacred tree grow?"

"Later, the sacred tree turned into ten tails and left, and the roots were pulled out, and this dragon vein was formed?"

Orochimaru nodded, confirming Tam's thoughts.

He had a natural smile on his face, and he didn't feel nervous at all because his research results were known to Tam.
In fact, Orochimaru was going to let Tam know these contents.

On the point of reactivating the dragon veins, they have a common purpose, and they can take advantage of Tam's power.

However, regarding the speculation about the existence of "Orochi will", Orochimaru will never say anything
At this time, Tam rubbed his multi-layered chin and muttered to himself:
"However, it doesn't make it clear how there is Chakra in the earth."

In Tam's impression, chakra should be the product of similar photosynthesis in the body after the sacred tree ate Jinkela and absorbed nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

Orochimaru suddenly became nervous, he was a little afraid that his hidden true intentions would be seen through by Tam.

Then, Tam lived up to expectations and guessed:
"Is it possible that Gaia, the Will of the Earth, still exists on this planet?"

Orochimaru's body trembled slightly, and then he forced himself to remain calm and tried:

"Will the Earth Gaia."

"what is that?"

"Gaia?"

Tam instantly regained the joy of talking nonsense in front of another Orochimaru a few years ago, and said solemnly:

"The so-called Gaia is the embodiment of the will of the earth!"

Orochimaru clenched his fists quietly, feeling that he was about to collide with the other party.

He originally thought that his "Orochi Consciousness" conjecture was the first in the ninja world:

Because in the ninja world where souls really exist, ninjas will never believe that dead things also have souls.
Before the Gaia in Tam's mouth, Orochimaru had never heard a second argument about the will of the earth in the ninja world.

While Orochimaru was feeling uneasy, Tam showed a fascinated expression:
"In order to realize the strong desire of the people on the earth to realize the dream of Gaoshan, the earth gave him the red light!"

"The human Ultraman was born from this—"

"Ultraman Daichi Gaia, known as the Heisei Three Heroes with Tiga and Dyna!"

Orochimaru, who was originally uneasy, was stunned:
"Altman?"

Tam continued to maintain a serious look and started talking nonsense: "When it comes to Ultraman, we have to start with the multiverse worldview!"

"Stop! Stop!"

Orochimaru saw Tam's routine clearly: "Just pretend I didn't ask"
