Chapter 1489: Are you sure you can handle the creatures inside?

~4 min read 723 words

The Underground World

Tristana rode a white silkworm at the very front, occasionally pulling out a sheepskin map to study it carefully.

Poppy would also lean in close from time to time to take a look.

The white silkworm didn't move very fast, but it made almost no sound at all.

It was very suitable for riding in such a perilous place.

In the vast, quiet environment,

the sound of Li Yao and his group's footsteps seemed extremely loud.

Soon,

the surrounding space became less wide,

forming a cave passage about ten meters wide and five meters high.

"This is the Gloom Labyrinth!" Tristana introduced. "We call the wide areas like the one before 'Labyrinth Rooms.' They might contain treasures, or they might hold dangers."

"But rooms that large rarely appear; they might be forbidden zones."

"Besides coming in to collect Courage Badges, we also often come in to adventure."

"Some monster materials, ores, and things like that can be sold for super expensive prices, enough to buy many, many grand feasts!"

"It's similar to a dungeon," Kujou Mise said softly. "But if you all come in to adventure, wouldn't you eventually figure out the routes? How do you find 'treasures' later on?"

"It's impossible to completely figure out the routes," Poppy said indifferently. "The labyrinth changes every single day."

Hearing this, the group widened their eyes in unison.

"No way!" Mishalu stared blankly at Tana, who was studying the map seriously. "It changes every day? Benefactor Tana, are you sure this map is useful?"

Tristana was still pondering the map.

Poppy spoke up: "Because the labyrinth changes in very large sections at a time."

"Labyrinth maps generally aren't too large; they cover small areas. Unless your luck is exceptionally bad, the places marked on the map won't have major discrepancies."

"And the validity of a map is generally only one week."

"I bought this map the day before yesterday, so there won't be any problems."

Mishalu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They really shouldn't get lost the moment they entered the underground world.

"Excuse me," Luo Cheng suddenly asked, "does the treasure you mentioned include plants?"

In this underground cave, he couldn't even see a single plant; he couldn't even manage to taste tobacco from the abyss.

"Yes, there are," Poppy nodded.

"Found it!" Tristana's eyes lit up. "Quick, quick, follow me!"

The white silkworm accelerated, dragging a trail of transparent mucus on the ground.

The group followed.

Along the way, they passed countless forks and winding paths.

There were also quite a few strange creatures that rushed out to launch surprise attacks,

but they were all very weak.

Tana and Poppy handled them all.

The two worked with tacit understanding.

Poppy stood at the front, her fighting style completely different from her indifferent personality.

Holding a heavy hammer, every strike was aimed at vital points.

Tristana was much more stable.

Holding a cannon taller than herself, she stood at the back and fired, never missing a shot.

If viewed through the professional system,

they were both around level eighty, at the level of Lord-tier monsters.

Their strength was actually not weak.

At the very least, they were a cut above Kujou Mise and the others.

If their combat power was considered the norm in the underground world,

then the underground world

might be a world even more powerful than Blue Star!

After several battles,

a slight injury appeared on Poppy's pale blue arm.

She walked behind the white silkworm, used her hand to dab some of the mucus from the ground, and smeared it onto the wound.

It actually healed visibly to the naked eye.

Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to have witnessed a medical miracle and hurried over to touch the mucus with her hand.

But no matter how she studied it, she couldn't discover anything strange about the mucus.

After some fumbling, her whole body was covered in the stuff.

Coming back to her senses from her scientific spirit, Mu Xiaoxiao saw the miserable state she was in and felt a wave of disgust.

She looked everywhere for a place to get rid of the mucus.

Shang Yana thought this scene was quite interesting,

so she picked up her camera and found an angle,

keeping the two Yordles riding the white silkworm and the five professionals

forever in the frame.
