The legend of Tiga

People leave their names behind; wild geese leave their voices behind.

Another interpretation of this sentence is that even if you fly in the sky without touching the ground, you will still leave some traces.

After all, even for air, as the speed of a moving object continues to increase, the speed difference with the airflow on both sides will become larger and larger. The pressure difference will create a huge negative pressure area, thereby pressing the objects on both sides over, which is also the cause of the wake effect.

The same is true in water. In fact, the difference in water flow speed will have a greater impact.

When a thousand-meter-long beast swims in the water, even if it just swings its tail, it will stir up a huge amount of sea water, which surges at a very fast speed. The impact is so strong that it is comparable to a water knife that pierces through iron and rocks. If a person stands there, he will probably be beaten to pieces in an instant, and it will be impossible to put it together.

If the giant beast was swimming in the upper layer of the sea, that would be fine. Even if the impact of the water flow was strong, it would not be possible to penetrate thousands or tens of thousands of meters of sea water and affect the seabed.

But when the radar discovered it, it was almost sticking to the seabed, so it naturally left traces.

A recessed corridor!
"My God!"

Dagu looked at the 'ditch' on the seabed illuminated by several beams of light. It was a semicircular shape of seven or eight meters long and looked like a drainage ditch. However, this was not soft seabed mud, but solid rock. The appearance of such a round and smooth groove was obviously caused by repeated crushing and friction.

"Sea snake?"

Toshiyuki Koda was guessing what kind of creature had left these traces. The first thing that came to mind was a snake. After all, animals with feet would only leave footprints, not a smooth path.

"This sea snake is really big." Fei Niao was amazed at the size of the tunnel. The undeployed Victory submarine was nearly twenty meters long, but above the tunnel, it was like a toy car on a six-lane highway, very inconspicuous.

It is hard to imagine how big the creature must be to use its body to rub out such a huge passage.

Now, looking at this huge corridor sandwiched between two mountains, there was no longer any doubt. The radar of Dolphin 404 was not malfunctioning. Instead, it was very sensitive and captured the giant beast in one go. However, the other party shrank so quickly that it only appeared on the radar for a moment.

"If we follow the traces, we can find the other party."

Asuka has begun thinking about how to find this giant beast.

The light pole of the Victory submarine extended forward, and the corridor meandered among the underwater mountains and finally disappeared among a towering underwater mountain range.

"Is that its lair?"

Fujikura stared at the images transmitted back from the big screen. Several powerful searchlights shone on the mountain, vaguely revealing a dark hole that tilted downward. Most of the hole was buried in mud and sand, and there were signs of the silt being stirred around it. It was obvious that this was caused by the speed difference when the giant beast was moving forward quickly, pressing the surrounding mud and sand to the middle, burying its traces.

If this was not most likely the entrance to the cave, where monsters frequently went in and out, thus creating a deep passage, it would have been buried and no trace of it could have been found.

"Place a detector near the cave entrance, and then you guys retreat first."

Although the entrance of the cave was very close to Triton J2, Fujikura did not yell like a lunatic or rush to destroy the giant beast. Instead, he was more cautious.

After all, it is unknown how long this cave is and where it leads to. The giant beast may be in the cave, or it may have exited from other entrances.

"Let's use an unmanned probe," Chiba Makoto suggested, "to find this monster as soon as possible and destroy it to prevent it from affecting Triton J2."

"Yeah!" Fujikura agreed very much. With such a giant beast next to him, it would be hard to sleep well, and it might even cause panic.

After all, it's been very hard for everyone to come to Triton J2, and they have relied on their passion to persevere, but passion cannot be regarded as life. If the employees knew that there was a giant beast's lair nearby, even if there was no panic, there would be a lot of "sick leave and personal leave" immediately.

Therefore, it would be best to destroy the monster before the staff know about it.

However, despite thinking so, Fujikura did not urge him. After all, as a scientist, he had suffered many times from the pain of being an outsider interfering with the insiders. He was not the kind of person who would tear up other people's umbrellas after being caught in the rain, so he naturally would not interfere with other people's work casually.

"Understood. I'll contact the headquarters right away." Dagu said as he took out his communicator and used a dedicated channel to contact the headquarters base to inform them of the situation and request support from professional personnel.

Although he can drive a submarine, there are differences between manned and unmanned submarines. If they want to explore the cave of the giant beast, it would be better to have professionals come.

Upon hearing that a cave entrance where giant beasts were found was discovered near Triton J2, one of TPC's only two underwater research bases, and that there were more giant beasts, they took it very seriously and immediately began to mobilize troops.

The South Pacific Division, which excels in naval warfare, dispatched an unmanned submarine team to Triton J2; the American Division dispatched two destroyers carrying a large number of deep-sea mines and twenty anti-aircraft missiles.

When anti-sea combat units were rushing in from all directions, Triton J2 did not wait there, but took active action, taking this hole as the center and continuously expanding the search range to see if there were other holes.

"How long has such a big monster existed?"

Dagu was paying attention to the images sent back by the detector placed at the entrance of the huge cave. The more he watched, the more incredible it seemed to him. How could such a huge monster survive?

Not to mention other things, just food alone would be a lot per day.

Generally speaking, the amount of food an animal eats is an average of a few percent of its body weight. If a monster is a kilometer long, it would weigh at least 100,000 tons, and it would eat several thousand tons of food a day.

The heaviest animal on Earth is the blue whale, which weighs only about 100 tons. That is to say, even if this monster only eats blue whales, it will eat dozens of them a day, which means tens of thousands of blue whales a year.

Well.
When records began, the number of blue whales was at most a few hundred thousand. Due to long-term hunting, the number has dropped to around 10,000 or 20,000. Based on the appetite of this monster, blue whales may be eaten to extinction in a year or two.

"It should take quite some time." Fujikura was also paying attention to the feedback from the detector. The support force was still on the way and it would take at least a few hours to arrive.

Normally, this amount of time would not be enough for a nap, but now every second feels extremely long to Fujikura.

It’s not that he is worried that the giant beast will launch an attack. After all, Tiga is here, and if the monster comes, it’s probably just to deliver food. Instead, he is worried that the news will spread and the staff at the base will know.

After all, a secret is no longer a secret once it is known by another person.

And now at least ten people know this 'secret'.

When facing a monster, one can kill it without hesitation, but when facing a person, one can only persuade him with kind words.

What is more important is whether the appearance of the giant beast will make everyone fear the seabed. Once the seeds of fear are planted in people’s hearts, they can no longer be driven away. Sooner or later, they will be overwhelmed by fear and stay away from the ocean completely.

In this base, everyone is passionate, idealistic and capable. It would be a great loss if anyone is missing.
Fujikura turned his head and glanced at Chiba Makoto, who was standing in front of the big screen, looking thoughtful.

Ultraman is here, which can reduce 99% of the fear.

If only I could stay here forever.

Fujikura thought about it, but immediately found himself laughing at the thought.

Although if Ultraman stays here for a long time, it will allow many people who have doubts in their hearts to come here to work with peace of mind, but this is just a beautiful imagination.

Why does Ultraman stay here all the time?

Drop drop!
At this moment, an alarm suddenly sounded in his ears, which made Fujikura come back to his senses instantly. He turned his head and saw the picture sent back by the detector. In the dark cave, a huge triangular head slowly emerged, with a tentacle bending forward on the top of the head and a red light-emitting body on the top.

"A monster appears."

Just as Dagu shouted, the monster in the detector's tentacles flashed red, and the picture suddenly disappeared, indicating that it had been destroyed.

When others heard the sound, they came over. Fujikura quickly operated and replayed the last image taken by the detector at an extremely slow speed, allowing people to see the specific appearance of the monster that only existed in the detector's camera for a mere one second.

The monster's head is extremely large, almost filling the entire screen when it first appears, but when zoomed in, you can still see its body behind it, which is indeed long and slender like a snake.

Of course, this slenderness is only relative to the huge head. The actual diameter is estimated to be about 10 to 20 meters, and there are a lot of python-like patterns on the body.

But the most eye-catching thing is its triangular head. In addition to the thick curved tentacles on the top of the head, there are two relatively slender horns behind the head. However, they are not gray-black, but crystal clear like white jade, which is completely inconsistent with the monster's ugly head and rough skin.

"Is this a Jiao?"

Chiba Makoto looked at the frozen image. This pair of horns was so mysterious that it was hard not to associate it with the dragon in mythology and legend.

"Jiao?" Da Gu was puzzled, and Fujikura thought for a moment before saying, "Are you talking about the Jiaolong in Eastern mythology?"

"It should be a Jiao before it turns into a dragon. According to legend, a snake can grow dragon horns through practice and become a Jiao. If it continues to practice, it can completely turn into a dragon."

Qianye Cheng looked at the 'snake' carefully and said, "I just didn't expect that this creature actually exists."

Although this is an Aopeng, I have to say that this monster is too similar to a Jiao. It cannot be said that they are exactly the same, but only that they are exactly the same.

Chiba Makoto's feeling is that the person who wrote this myth was facing this monster.

"It shouldn't be a coincidence." Dagu thought of the mythology books collected from all over the world that he had read when he was still in the Victory Team. There were more than one monsters recorded in them that appeared in the real world, so Dagu thought that this monster might have appeared in ancient times and been seen by people, thus giving birth to the mythology.

Fujikura agreed with Dagu's fantasy speculation, and thought divergently: "If this is the case, then what about the dragon above the Jiao? Will it exist?"

"Uh this"

Da Gu couldn't answer, and Fujikura temporarily put this question aside because he had switched to another detector that was placed farther away and captured the giant snake, no, or rather, dragon, which had come out of the cave and was swimming along the deep compressed corridor between the underwater mountains, with its huge head raised and turning left and right.

This looks very 'cautious', as if it is observing whether there is any danger around the cave entrance.

"Uh, what is it doing?" Dagu was very confused. For such a huge monster, whose body length was definitely over 300 meters, is there anything for it to be careful about?
Danger? !
Fujikura looked at Chiba Makoto thoughtfully. He remembered that it was the submarine that Captain Chiba was riding that discovered the monster, and the monster disappeared in less than a second. Combined with the current situation, it seemed that he could guess who the monster was afraid of.

(⊙o⊙)...

Suddenly I'm not worried anymore.

Fujikura stood up straight at once, and his inner anxiety instantly calmed down.

Since the monsters are afraid of Ultraman, and Ultraman is now in the base, the monsters will definitely not dare to come to the base.

It's safe!

The Victory submarine had already arrived and saw the giant sea snake from afar.

"It's really big." Asuka looked at the monster in surprise. When it stood up, it was taller than the mountains under the sea.

Koda Toshiyuki's eyes moved around the monster, locked onto its head, and said, "Attack its horns."

I don't know what this thing is, nor do I know what it is used for, but based on past experience, any monster with horns is either a weakness or a pain point. If the horns glow, then it must have some special abilities, and it's a sure thing to interrupt it.

"understand!"

Asuka immediately manipulated the weapon and used a halo to cover the curved corner of the swimming monster's head. The gun barrels on both sides of the Victory submarine lit up and began to quickly accumulate energy.

At this moment, the monster, which had been facing them sideways, suddenly turned its head and saw the Victory Submarine with its shining eyes. It immediately opened its mouth wide, revealing a mouthful of fangs.

Although he was discovered by the monster, the monster turned its head and faced the tentacles, giving him a better attack angle.

Asuka seized this opportunity which might be fleeting, and pressed the attack button without hesitation. Two blue high-energy lasers shot out from the gun barrels on both sides, rushing straight towards the monster.

The attack, which seemed almost certain to succeed, did not work, because after the monster turned its head and saw the Victory submarine, the brightness of the ruby-shaped light source at the end of its tentacles suddenly increased, and then the high-energy laser it fired disappeared after approaching the monster.

"what?"

"how is this possible?"

Koda and Asuka were shocked. They had clearly hit the target, so how could it not have any effect? ​​(End of this chapter)
