Just when Gu Chen was receiving the information from the stone statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and learning another method of sealing.

Outside, the construction site was bustling with activity and detonators had been laid out, ready to begin blasting the mountain.

The stone statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva cannot perceive all of this because it is suppressing the evil spirits and sealing them.

Gu Chen sensed it, but did not intend to stop it.

Because his idea has never changed, instead of continuing to seal the evil demon, it would be better to release it and destroy it completely.

With his current strength, even if the Ampera aliens came, he would be able to fight them head-on, let alone this evil demon who has been sealed by a mere stone statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva for who knows how long?

Therefore, Gu Chen just watched quietly as the workers outside laid the detonators, while silently comprehending the flow of information transmitted by the stone statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

next second...

Boom! ! ! !

A violent explosion was heard from outside, and the solid mountain was instantly shaken and collapsed by the shock wave.

Not only that, the sealed evil demon seemed to have sensed the movement of the outside world, and at the moment the detonator exploded, it also added fuel to the fire and attacked the seal.

Therefore, in an instant, the explosion that could only cause a landslide turned out to be a magnitude 12 earthquake.

"Oh shit!"

The stone statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was completely unprepared and was instantly frightened by the sudden explosion and vibration.

As the mountain continued to collapse, the stone statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva finally saw the light of day again after who knows how many years.

But along with Him, the evil demon that had been sealed for who knows how long also saw the light of day.

"It's terrible! The seal has been broken, and the power of the evil spirits has surged again! Young man, you have to act quickly, otherwise it will be too late."

The tone of the stone statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva began to panic, and it urgently urged Gu Chen who was standing quietly beside him.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen nodded silently, and then his figure disappeared in front of the stone statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Controlling his clone to hide temporarily and act according to circumstances, Gu Chen's original body also received news from the Earthquake Research Institute.

"Advisor, deputy captain, a very strange set of data came from the Earthquake Research Institute."

Moriyama Quan, who was in charge of receiving information, immediately came over with the earthquake monitoring data sent by the Earthquake Research Institute and reported to Gu Chen and others.

"Strange data? Bring it here so we can take a look."

Upon hearing this, Shuhei Araki first glanced at Gu Chen. Seeing that Gu Chen did not express anything, he turned to Izumi Moriyama and spoke.

"Yes."

Izumi Moriyama responded, then placed the map and earthquake monitoring data on the desktop.

Seeing this, the team members immediately surrounded them.

“Is it only the hilly area within 1 kilometer?”

After looking at the earthquake monitoring data and comparing it with the map, Shuhei Araki frowned.

"Yes, although there is only a line on the map, an earthquake with a magnitude of 12 was recorded at this location."

Izumi Moriyama nodded, then drew a line on the map with his finger, which was exactly where the Earthquake Research Institute monitored the earthquake data.

"What, magnitude 12?"

Upon hearing this, Higashi Kotaro couldn't help but exclaim.

You should know that the highest magnitude earthquake detected by humans today is only the Valdivia earthquake with a magnitude of 9.5.

The earthquake that occurred in the southern hemisphere caused a tsunami that affected the Cherry Blossom Country in the northern hemisphere.

During the earthquake, in addition to causing a tsunami, it also caused six volcanoes to erupt again and three volcanoes to reappear.

An earthquake of this magnitude was only 9.5, but now the Earthquake Research Institute has given it a magnitude of 12. Higashi Kotaro couldn't help but feel shocked.

Not only him, but other team members were also shocked by this set of monitoring data.

"If that were the case, the place would have been shaken to pieces long ago."

Kitajima Tetsuya was so surprised that his eyes widened and his face was full of disbelief.

"Could there be some mistake?"

Tadao Nanhara couldn't help but begin to question the authenticity of the monitoring data.

"I don't think so. The people at the Earthquake Research Institute must have repeatedly confirmed the authenticity of the data. If there really was a mistake, they wouldn't have sent it to us."

At this time, Gu Chen finally spoke.

"Okay, let's go to the scene. Nanyuan, Nishida."

Upon hearing this, Shuhei Araki immediately stood up and prepared to lead the team out.

"Yes!"

The two people who were called responded immediately.

"Deputy Captain, let me go too."

Seeing this, Dong Guangtaro immediately volunteered

"In that case, count me in as well."

Gu Chen also stood up at this time, ready to act with his teammates.

"Good advisor."

How could Shuhei Araki dare to have any objection to this?

The job of persuading Gu Chen had to be done by Asahina Yuutarou, the captain of the ZAT team, but now he had to attend the captains' meeting held by the Earth Defense Force Joint Headquarters, so no one in the ZAT team could persuade Gu Chen now.

After a while, a Sky Whale and a Condor took off from the ZAT team headquarters and flew towards the location where the magnitude 12 earthquake was detected.

According to the speed of Tianjing and Shenying, it didn't take long for them to arrive at the scene of the magnitude 12 earthquake.

But from what I could see, it didn't look like there had been a magnitude 12 earthquake.

Not to mention the casualties, even the building only collapsed a little.

Then, the Tianjing and Shenying circled in the air and landed on the open space at the construction site.

"Kotaro!"

When Higashi Kotaro got off the Condor, he heard a familiar voice calling his name.

Following the sound, he saw Saori Shiratori and Kenichi Shiratori running towards him.

"Are you two okay?"

A stone fell from his heart when Higashi Kotaro looked at the two people who were safe and sound.

Shiratori Kenichi shook his head, then turned around and pointed at the mountain that had been blasted, and said, "It's like there's someone messing around underground."

"I was worried about you two."

Toukoutaro touched Kenichi Shiratori's head, looked at Saori Shiratori, and then grinned.

At this time, the person in charge of the construction site also came over.

"He must be from ZAT."

"Yes."

Seeing this, Jiro Nishida walked over and nodded.

"The damage from the earthquake must be severe everywhere."

Kimura, the person in charge of the construction site, said with emotion that he was not a professional and did not know the magnitude of the earthquake, but when he saw that an earthquake attracted the ZAT team, he guessed that the impact of the earthquake must be significant.

But who would have thought that after hearing his words, Higashi Kotaro and Nishida Jiro both shook their heads and said, "No."
