The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 340 Misfortune and Good Fortune

Given the digestive speed of the mineral worms, how much magical ore must they have consumed over the years!
Could they have devoured all the magical mines on both sides of the underground river?

Could the "minor auspiciousness" in the fortune-telling technique refer to that small handful of space magic gem fragments just now?

After walking for several days, the space on the surface of the underground river became narrower and narrower, and there were fewer and fewer places to stand.

Moran could only fly over the river on a broomstick.

They were less than a meter away from the densely packed grey-eyed piranhas in the river.

If it weren't for the silencing spell, her broom and robes would be covered in piranhas by now.

There weren't many natural caves along the way, and Moran explored each one carefully.

They were all dead ends, with no caves leading to the surface, and some even leading to deeper underground.

Seeing that the underground river ahead had reached its end, and there was nowhere for her to hide except at the bottom of the river, Moran had no choice but to stop for the time being.

The source of the underground river at its uppermost point, like the outlet at its lowermost point, is hidden within the rock strata.

Opening the academy map in the Book of Witches, she was now deep in the outer area.

At this point, she no longer dared to casually put on a water shield bubble and venture into the unknown water channel as she did in the underground core area.

In particular, she noticed that not a single gray-eyed piranha in the underground river was swimming upstream through the entrance.

Having swum to this point, they continued downstream.

Originally called piranhas, they've almost become herbivores in this deserted underground river.

Moran hovered his flying broom in the air, then looked at the spot where the underground river had disappeared and used his fortune-telling technique to predict the fortune of entering this place.

No one dared to use prophecy, because if they foresaw the outcome, the foreseen scene would inevitably be confirmed.

Even if you foresee danger, you may still be unable to avoid it.

It's safer to use divination methods.

"fierce?"

Moran turned around and left.

An inauspicious divination result may not be immediately fatal, but may lead to serious injury, significant financial loss, or being trapped in a desperate situation.

In the academic environment, with the dean as a backer, it's impossible to predict a horrific omen of certain death.

An inauspicious hexagram represents the most dangerous situation.

She currently carries gem fragments that could potentially be combined to create a complete high-level space magic gem, and she can't afford to take that risk.

Unable to reach the source of the underground river, Moran had to find other solutions.

There were hardly any minerals to mine on either side of this underground river; she hadn't found a single ordinary ore.

If she doesn't wipe out the entire swarm of mineral worms this time, they'll probably starve to death once they've completely digested the space magic gem.

After all, they couldn't get through the root wall to the inner area.

We still need to find a way to get to the ground quickly and collect resources there to make card-making materials.

Now that there's no direct exit, there's only one option left: dig back to the surface ourselves!

The worst outcome of telling Sylph and the others to take this route was that they would have to dig a hole back to the surface themselves. Little did they expect that their words would come true.

Digging your own tunnel out of such a long underground river requires skill in figuring out where to go and how to dig.

She first recalled the natural caves she had passed along the way, and then used astrology to predict the fortune of the ones that generally trended upwards.

They're all just ordinary, but one of them is slightly ominous.

Moran wasn't satisfied, so he proceeded to predict the fortunes of the remaining natural caves. "Very auspicious?" Moran confirmed the divination result in disbelief: "How could it be this one?"

There are nine caves in total, six of which ascend and are probably closer to the surface.

The results were all mediocre, but among the three natural caves that trended downwards, the one that trended downwards the most yielded a very auspicious result.

"Great fortune?"

What does "great luck" represent now? For Moran, it means having a great treasure!

Those spatial magic gems only showed a minor auspiciousness!
Forget about surface or surface quality, the treasure is the only thing that matters.

Without saying a word, Moran flew towards the cave.

After entering the cave, she took the test again.

"That's right, it's still auspicious!"

We walked and measured along the way, and finally arrived at the deepest part of the cave, which was also the lowest point.

According to divination, it is best to dig down from here.

Moran cast a Luck spell on himself, and then used the Stone Shattering spell to dig downwards.

There's no need to worry about disposing of the excavated rubble; a single {construction waste bin card} solves everything.

Vasita's trash can series cards are absolutely amazing.

Just then, Vasita was singed on the broom tail by a fireball spat out by a mid-level Fireburst Demon Bear.

It fell from the sky.

Fortunately, she was physically strong and didn't have time to use the Feather Fall Technique, so she fell without getting hurt.

Seeing that half of her broom tail had burned away, Vasita felt heartbroken. She shrunk the broom and put it back in her bag, then ran towards the Flameburst Bear with her wand in one hand and her fist in the other.

After a fierce battle, they finally defeated the demon bear.

After finishing with Vasita, she patted her stomach:

"That's strange, why do I feel even fuller after the fight, even though I haven't eaten anything?"

Swallowing the stomach bag: "ヽ(．_°)ノ"

Sensing the reaction of the phagocytic stomach, she reached into her abdomen and summoned it out. Upon examination, she discovered the cause:
"Who is this orange witch who bought my trash can?! She keeps feeding me stones, and I'm almost full!"

She never even considered the possibility of the little witches throwing so many stones for no reason.

The feeding frequency is so high, it's like the food was just dug up. Only an orange witch skilled in earth magic could manage to do this.

Moran, who had mastered the Stonebreaker spell to a high level by digging tunnels all the way: "ヽ(｀⌒)"

Where is my baby?!

She's been digging for days, but all she finds are rocks and mud.

Even with the gold-detection skill maxed out, we still didn't see any treasure!
But the divination method still showed good fortune, very good fortune!
Advanced Stone Crushing Spell! A single spell can easily crush a large area of ​​rock. She also controls the intensity and range of the crushing, making her stone crushing efficiency even higher than the most advanced large-scale stone crushers on Earth.

If this continues, she's afraid she'll dig through this demiplane.

This demiplane isn't spherical like Earth!

Digging every day, digging every day, if it weren't for digging so deep that you could occasionally find some ore, including various types of intermediate magic ore, Moran would have given up.

But the harvest from these intermediate-level magic mines is far from matching Daji's predictions!
However, Moran's attempt to foresee the great fortune deep underground failed, yielding no results.

Now we can only rely on the guidance of luck and fortune-telling to continue digging.

Fortunately, even demonic insects are rare in this deep underground place, so Moran didn't encounter any troublesome situations.
