Chapter 616
Underground world.
Tristana rode her white silkworm at the very front, occasionally taking out a parchment map to examine it carefully.
Poppy would occasionally lean in to take a look as well.
The white silkworm’s movement was not fast, but it made almost no sound,
making it very suitable for riding in such a perilous place.
In the open and quiet environment,
the footsteps of Li Yao and the others were extremely obvious.
Soon,
the surrounding space became less wide,
forming a cave passage about ten meters wide and five meters high.
"This is the Gloomy Labyrinth!" Tristana introduced. "The open area just now, we call it a Labyrinth Room; there might be treasures, or there might be danger."
"But rooms that large rarely appear; it might have been a Forbidden Zone."
"Besides coming in to collect Badges of Courage, we also often come in to adventure."
"Some monster materials, ores, etc., can be sold for super expensive prices, enough to eat many, many big meals!"
"It’s similar to a dungeon," Kujo Mise said softly. "But if you all come in to adventure, wouldn't the routes be figured out after a long time? How do you find 'treasures' later?"
"It’s impossible to completely figure out the routes," Poppy said coldly. "The labyrinth changes every day."
Hearing this, everyone widened their eyes in unison.
"No!" Mishaluo stared blankly at Tristana, who was carefully studying the map. "It changes every day, Donor Tristana, are you sure this map is useful?"
Tristana was still studying the map.
Poppy said: "Because the labyrinth changes in large areas all at once."
"Labyrinth maps are generally not too large; they are all small areas. Unless your luck is particularly bad, the places marked on the map won't have too many discrepancies."
"And the validity of the map is generally only one week."
"I bought this map the day before yesterday; there won't be any problems."
Mishaluo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Please don't get lost as soon as they enter the underground world.
"May I ask," Lu Zai suddenly asked, "do the treasures you mentioned include plants?"
In this underground cave, he couldn't even see a single plant; he wanted to taste tobacco from the Abyss, but it was impossible.
"Yes," Poppy nodded.
"Found it!" Tristana’s eyes lit up. "Quick, quick, follow me!"
The white silkworm quickened its pace, dragging a trail of transparent mucus on the ground.
The group followed.
On the way, they passed countless branching paths, winding and twisting.
There were also quite a few strange creatures that rushed out to attack suddenly,
but they were all very weak
and were all dealt with by Tristana and Poppy.
The two cooperated tacitly.
Poppy stood in the front, her fighting style completely different from her cold personality.
Holding a heavy hammer, every strike was aimed at vital points.
Tristana was much more stable,
holding a cannon taller than herself, standing in the back and shooting, never missing a shot.
If viewed through the professional system,
they were both at the level of level 80+ Lord monsters.
Their strength was actually not weak,
at least a notch stronger than Kujo Mise and the others.
If their combat power was the norm in the underground world,
then the underground world
might be a world even more powerful than the Blue Star!
After several battles,
a slight injury appeared on Poppy’s pale blue arm.
She walked behind the white silkworm, dipped her hand in some mucus on the ground, and smeared it on the wound.
It actually recovered visibly to the naked eye.
Mu Xiaohao seemed to have seen a medical miracle and quickly walked over, reaching out to touch the mucus.
But no matter how she studied it, she couldn't find anything strange about this mucus.
After some operations, her whole body was covered in mucus.
Returning from her scientific spirit, Mu Xiaohao saw the miserable state she was in and felt a wave of disgust.
She looked everywhere for a place to get rid of this mucus.
Shang Shang Yana felt this scene was very interesting,
so she picked up her camera, found a position,
and kept the two Yordles riding white silkworms and the five professionals
in the frame forever.
Mu Xiaohao walked up to Shang Shang Yana angrily: "You took an ugly photo of me!"
Shang Shang Yana examined the photo, her eyes smiling into crescents. "No way, Xiaohao is so pretty, no matter how you take it, it won't be an ugly photo."
"Hmph, I guess you know how to talk!"
The group continued forward.
About half an hour later,
Tristana jumped off her white silkworm and walked quickly to a giant rock in front.
Li Yao could see a string of characters carved on the giant rock.
"Finally here!" Tristana was very excited, walked to Li Yao’s side, and handed the map to Li Yao.
Everyone gathered around to look.
It was not hard to see that
the row of characters on the map was exactly the same as the characters on the giant rock.
Mu Xiaohao asked: "What does it say?"
"Captain Teemo is on standby!"
"As long as it’s a labyrinth map produced by the Mushroom Adventure Guild, it has this symbol."
"Finding this symbol proves that you have officially entered the map’s range!"
"So that’s it!" Mu Xiaohao smiled. "Can't tell, Tristana is actually quite reliable!"
"That’s right! Tristana is a professional labyrinth explorer!" Tristana’s nose was almost pointing to the sky. "This map is prepared specifically for explorers promoting to the Over-City."
"The map is worth four gold coins, so it only marks the specific locations of four Mur-seeking wolf chieftains."
"To repay Li Yao’s life-saving grace!"

"Their teeth will all be yours!"
"Poppy, you don't have any objections, right? We can just come again later!"
Poppy’s expression was indifferent. "I have no objections."
"Does one Mur-seeking wolf only have one tooth?" Li Yao asked.
"Of course not! But there is only one tooth that can be called a Badge of Courage."
"Two for you, two for us," Li Yao said, looking back at Kujo Mise and the others.
If one needed Tristana and Poppy’s strength to promote to the Over-City,
the Abyss team actually only had him and Lu Zai with 100% certainty.
Two teeth were enough.
Tristana still wanted to say something,
but Li Yao interrupted: "Let’s find them first."
At this time,
Nana and the others were probably a bit tired.
Getting the teeth early meant they could rest early.
"Okay." Tristana rode her white silkworm and continued forward along the map.
At this time,
a slight tremor suddenly came from the ground.
Everyone was a bit surprised and instantly became vigilant.
Tristana, however, had an accustomed look.
"This is a good thing; the labyrinth is starting to change."
"The feeling here is so slight, proving that this area hasn't changed, and the map is still usable."
"It’s just..."
"Why does it feel like the time is a bit earlier?"
A few more minutes passed.
A faint light suddenly appeared ahead.
This was not the light belonging to a miner’s hat or a flashlight.
Even though they were relying on Hearing Lingxin’s telepathy, Tristana still lowered her voice: "We’re here; this kind of glowing cave is the 'Labyrinth Room' I mentioned earlier."
"Let’s approach carefully and take it down in one fell swoop."
The speed of the two white silkworms slowed down significantly,
for fear of making a sound.
The team gradually approached the light source.
Li Yao was a bit puzzled and asked:
"Tristana, Poppy,"
"Are you sure you can deal with the creatures inside alone?"
