Chapter 643 Celia: Suggests Killing to Silence

As they progressed, the monsters they encountered went from approaching the fourth tier to truly reaching the fourth tier in strength.

These monsters cannot use magic; aside from spewing out contaminants, they rely on their incredibly strong claws for close-quarters attacks.

With the added benefits of pollution and life elements, they are more terrifying than ordinary fourth-tier mages.

Fortunately, both Celia and Elena have their own ways of dealing with these monsters that have almost zero resistance to control.

Nature-based and ice-based magic are inherently adept at control.

"We may be approaching a critical point. We must be careful from now on. Unless absolutely necessary, do not kill the monsters; just keep them under control."

"I'm being cautious," Celia said.

Elena nodded: "These monsters are difficult to kill without special methods. They can resist my separation of life elements to some extent, and I don't want to kill them anymore... They're too disgusting!"

"Disgusting? It's alright." Celia couldn't help but think of the monsters she encountered during the Ascension Trial, and suddenly realized that these numerical monsters were actually quite cute.

As she spoke, Celia's expression shifted, and she secretly glanced at the phantom of Ross beside her.

Just now, Ross told her something.

The elven survey team, and the survey team in this direction, have also discovered the anomaly of the monsters here, and are slowly exploring this area.

Celia pondered for a moment and then asked, "Elena, has the investigation team sent anyone here?"

“I don’t know.” Elena shook her head. “I’m not in the royal court right now, so I’m not aware of their plans.”

"What do you plan to do if we encounter each other?" Celia asked with interest.

Elena didn't care: "So what if we run into each other? What else can we do?"

"What if they find you and quickly contact their ground forces to block your path?"

"This one……"

Elena fell into deep thought, while Celia couldn't help but look at Ross; just now, Ross had made her a suggestion—

"Why don't we kill them to silence them? Otherwise, you'll be trapped here and basically won't be able to leave."

"How could I possibly do something like that!" Celia didn't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately.

"Then let Elena decide," Ross said with a slight smile.

That's why Celia asked the question.

Seeing that Elena was still deep in thought, and had even stopped, Celia also stopped and looked at her with a smile.

Seeing that she still hadn't come up with a solution, he said, "I remember when I came down, I saw that the members of the investigation team were all fifth-tier leaders, one fifth-tier and four fourth-tier. However, the number of fifth-tier mages might not be enough, and it's also possible that they are all fourth-tier mages..."

"Is Elena sure she can outrun them? If we can leave the entrance to the contamination source before they send out the message, we can leave safely. Otherwise... the Elven Royal Court might already be blocking our way at the entrance."

“We can’t outrun them.” Elena shook her head. “Underground, although we can’t contact the entrance, we can contact other teams that have entered the underground, as long as they haven’t left a certain area. To ensure that no one loses contact, I saw that the investigation team has specially set up some information relay stations for this operation. Each station is staffed by one person who acts as an intermediary to relay messages and report on the exploration progress.”

"In other words, as soon as we are exposed, they will immediately report it to the underground entrance of the pollution source and then send someone to the surface, unless we can make them unable to contact us."

Celia chuckled, glanced furtively at Ross, and said, "While I'm not an expert at signal jamming, I can still do some things. So, Elena, have you figured out how to deal with this? Have you considered killing me to cover it up?"

"Kill...kill them to silence them?" Elena was stunned for a moment, a look of excitement flashing across her face.

But then she became conflicted.

Not long after, she shook her head and gave up the idea. "No, these people are the backbone of the fight against the disaster. If we're going to kill them, we should kill the parasites in the royal court, not these soldiers who came to the front lines to investigate dangerous areas." "If we don't kill them, even if we can block the signal, it's only temporary. As soon as they leave, they'll inform the people outside anyway."

"I don't know." Elena tapped her head in frustration.

Celia reached out and patted her shoulder, smiling slightly. "If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it. Let nature take its course. What if they're also dissatisfied with the royal court?"

"That shouldn't be the case," Elena seemed unsure.

"Alright, since we can't think of any solutions, let's just let things take their course. Others don't have our strong coping and perception abilities. By the time we get there and finish our investigation, they might not even be nearby yet."

"Yeah, why am I worrying so much? We haven't even seen a trace of it yet."

Elena patted her chest, and a smile returned to her face.

"Let's hurry!"

"it is good."

Celia turned her head slightly to look behind her, revealing a cryptic smile.

Well, under normal circumstances, it would indeed be difficult for other teams to get here so quickly.

However, if there is divine guidance, then it is certainly possible to avoid a large number of monsters and detours, skip the slow trial and error process, and arrive quickly.

And this 'divine guidance', needless to say, is none other than Lord Ross, who loves to watch the drama unfold!
Celia looked at Ross and chuckled, "Lord Ross, I guessed right, didn't I?"

Ross looked at Celia with amusement. "Aren't you afraid that if I do nothing, I'll be proven wrong?"

"I didn't tell anyone else, I was just discussing this with you in my mind, why are you slapping me in the face? Lord Ross, you can hit me whenever you want, can't you?"

As she spoke, Celia rubbed her forehead.

"I'm almost dumbfounded by Lord Ross's knocks."

Upon hearing this, Ross raised his hand and tapped Celia's forehead, but at the last moment, he held back, his movements gentle, as if caressing the girl's smooth, white forehead.

"Ouch~" Celia cried out in response.

"What are you talking about? The monster's here." Ross slammed the hammer down again, this time really hard.

"Well……"

Celia sensed the presence of the monster and quickly prepared herself.

Because of the possible arrival of the investigation team, the two moved much faster. Before long, after passing through a group of monsters that were all of high-level fourth-tier strength, they arrived at a huge underground space.

"The shape of this space looks familiar."

Elena frowned, then narrowed her eyes, and said uncertainly, "Exactly the same as the underground cavity beneath the source of pollution?"

Celia nodded: "Yes, exactly the same. If it weren't for the fact that there's no huge rift here, we would have doubted whether we'd come back."

The enormous void was perceived through senses; in reality, it was extremely dark, and within that darkness, one could vaguely sense something at the center of the underground space.

A great deal of pollution is active here; this place acts like a heart, collecting pollution from various places and then transporting it to other places.

The two didn't look closely; their gazes quickly fell on something in the center.

They heard a mysterious throbbing sound.
