Chapter 588 Celia's Underground Adventure

The surging pollution seemed to turn into a stream of water, relentlessly acting on Celia as she jumped down, as if trying to push her away.

Thanks to that mysterious thrust, Celia landed almost effortlessly.

She didn't know how long she had been falling before she slowly felt her feet touch the ground.

The girl breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thankfully, we landed safely."

The speed wasn't fast, but Celia still found it exciting.

If Ross hadn't kept urging her, and if she hadn't realized she wouldn't have dared to look any further, let alone skip ahead.

Nevertheless, she remained tense and focused as she jumped, holding the flying broom in her hand, ready to board at any moment.

Now, having landed smoothly, Celia twirled her flying broom, folded it up, and tossed it back into her spatial ring before taking out her staff.

The puppet emitted a faint glow, illuminating the surrounding environment.

"It's all pollution."

"Celia exclaimed."

The faint light emitted by the puppet couldn't even penetrate more than three meters; beyond that, nothing could be seen.

The three meters was only known from the ground; there was nothing to be seen around it, and even the opening above was difficult to discern.

Fortunately, Celia can scan accurately without relying on her gaze.

The mage's hand swept across the area with his mental energy, and Celia sensed everything around her in her mind.

This is a very large underground space, estimated to be over 300 meters in diameter and several tens of meters in height.

Celia checked the time and realized that she had been jumping for almost half an hour to get here.

Even though the speed is much slower than free fall, it is still quite fast.

It took so long to land; Celia estimated that the depth here must be nearly 10,000 meters.

"So deep..."

Celia felt a bit claustrophobic.

Ross's phantom appeared beside her, emitting a faint white glow.

Celia felt much of her fear dissipate and a sense of peace wash over her.

She looked at Ross and asked softly, "Lord Ross, where do we go next?"

This underground space is large, but not all of it; beyond it lie countless winding underground passages.

Judging from the degree of curvature of those tunnels, Celia thought they looked a bit like magic circle patterns.

Ross casually pointed in a direction, "Let's go in that direction. Pollution comes from all directions, but that direction has the most pollution."

Celia nodded: "Okay."

She looked in the direction Ross was pointing, sensed the direction of the pollution flow, and confirmed that it was indeed flowing the fastest in that direction.

However, "fast" is only relative. Deep underground, nearly 10,000 meters below the surface, the pollution here is not as turbulent as it is on the surface. Instead, it is very quiet, even quieter than the Golden Apple Stone Forest.

Only near the topmost crack in the underground space did Celia sense the rapid flow.

Without hesitation, Celia became more alert and walked in that direction, slowly approaching the edge of the underground space.

"hiss!"

Suddenly, a strange sound came from behind. Celia's heart skipped a beat, and an ice spike rushed towards it.

She couldn't see it with her naked eye, but she could sense it with her mental perception. The ice spike had penetrated the body of a creature that looked like an earthworm. As the ice spike exploded, the giant 'earthworm', which was at least five meters long, let out a hiss and fell to the ground.

Seizing the opportunity, Celia unleashed a powerful purification spell, its light surging into her opponent's body and exploding within.

boom!
The giant 'earthworm' fell silent. "I thought there was nothing here, but it turns out there are monsters too."

Celia muttered to herself.

Ross nodded: "Where the pollution concentration is high, monsters constructed from pollution will inevitably be born. This is a natural ability of demonic pollution. However, there are no rare carriers here that can reconstruct the monsters, so they can only be generated out of thin air. Their strength is far inferior to those that have their bodies reconstructed with rare materials."

Celia asked, "Could there be powerful monsters here? After all, the pollution concentration here is very high and the area is very wide."

Ross said, "You'll see as you go on. But don't worry, this isn't the Abyss. Without the Abyss's special bonuses, you can only create fourth-tier monsters at most. It's impossible for higher-tier monsters to be created out of thin air."

"So deep underground, is there nothing there?" Celia tilted her head. "Like magic crystal veins or something."

Ross smiled slightly: "Guess."

Celia pouted: "No need to guess, it's definitely there."

As she spoke, Celia's vigilance was raised to its highest level.

There are no rare materials like plants and animals deep underground, but there are things that don't exist on the surface.

For example, high-grade magic crystals, pure magic crystals, and even all sorts of unique mineral veins.

As Celia followed the tunnel that resembled a magic circle pattern, sensing the patterns of the dark tunnel, she said, "I don't think I'm that unlucky. I didn't just stumble upon some kind of mineral vein, and then the minerals in that vein were all polluted and attracted, reconstructing into the form of monsters."

Roar!
A strange, loud roar came from above, seemingly drawn by Celia's voice.

As the earth shook violently, a reptile that Celia had no idea what it was rushed out of the distant tunnel.

An ice shield blocked the opponent's path.

boom!
The crawling monster slammed into the ice shield, momentarily halting its progress, but quickly shattered the shield and continued its charge with a series of roars.

"Such a tough body, it seems to be at the fourth level."

Celia frowned, detonated an ice shield spell to slightly hinder her opponent, and at the same time condensed a crystal arrow in her hand.

call out--!
The crystal arrow flew in a straight line and instantly pierced the head of the crawling monster, which had no way to dodge (and nowhere to dodge), exploding on its skin.

"burst!"

The crystal arrow exploded a second time.

"Ow!"

The monster let out a wounded howl, but Celia was not happy at all.

Because it is only injured, not dead.

"What a hard head."

Celia didn't stop moving and launched a triple shot.

Bang bang bang!
Three arrows lined up and slammed into the monster's head, creating a series of explosions.

Amidst the explosions, the monster screamed incessantly, its momentum halted, and it was attempting to retreat.

"They actually tried to escape?"

Celia was somewhat surprised, but she didn't stop what she was doing.

After firing dozens of arrows, the monster stopped struggling in the tunnel at least 100 meters away from Celia.
