Chapter 678 Two Days
"This is not the way to go."

As they watched as some of the tentacled substances penetrated the protective net formed by dense thorns, transforming back into a strange, gelatinous substance within the net and continuing to spread towards the ice wall, everyone's expressions turned serious.

The captain looked at Celia: "Miss Celia, can this thing be attacked with high-intensity magic?"

These past two days in this peculiar 'underground world', they have suffered greatly and no longer dare to use magic casually.

Even though they had just severed these strange, tentacled things with offensive spells, they dared not use too powerful spells now, for fear that the spells might betray them again.

They had never encountered this situation before, and at this moment, they were somewhat apprehensive and hesitant.

They had no choice but to turn their attention to Celia.

Celia's gaze was serious as she carefully observed the thing that was slowly corroding in.

She recalled what Ross had said: this subspace contained the physical structure of Haroldias, the god of life and death.

If something gets into a complete body structure, the immune system inside will definitely react.

In fact, this world also has basic education, and it naturally has its own set of research on the exploration of body structure and so on—after all, Ross almost managed to master magic rune technology to the point of almost entering interstellar space.

Therefore, Celia could understand some of the words Rose used.

"If we look at it from the perspective of the body's 'immune system,' these strange tentacles must be the so-called 'immune cells,' right? Is the temperature rise just like when a normal person has a cold and fever?"

A strange feeling welled up in Celia's heart.

Do gods get fevers?

Perhaps it was a reaction made by the gods to preserve the integrity of their bodies?

Celia didn't understand either.

However, she did know one thing.

Even if all these tentacles are cleared away, it won't help, because even more tentacles will rush over.

Just like the human immune system, either the virus dies or the person dies.

The immune system never admits defeat; it only wins and wins.

Therefore, eliminating these tentacles does no good; it only excites the immune system, causing even more tentacles to sprout.

After a moment's thought, Celia said, "Don't attack them indiscriminately. These strange tentacles, just like the first time you destroyed them, will attract more tentacles, and like the monsters outside, they will become stronger."

The captain nodded seriously.

"It seems that an attack won't work."

One teammate asked, "So what do we do? Just keep using spells to defend?"

Celia shook her head: "I'm afraid that won't work either. If we can't break through these tentacles, they will intensify their attack until they destroy us."

Lana stared in disbelief: "It's neither offense nor defense, so how are we supposed to deal with this?"

Celia said, "Perhaps we can find a way to get this place to 'accept' us, so that it will no longer see us as enemies."

"What do we need to do?" the captain asked.

"I don't know." Celia never lied about such things.

"If Miss Xi doesn't know, then aren't we going to be trapped here?"

"Perhaps we can break through?"

“This doesn’t seem to be underground, which is connected to the source of pollution. We tried to go in that direction before, but we didn’t find the entrance to the source of pollution.”

"It can't be that you can get in but can't get out, right?"

"What does Miss Xi think?"

After much discussion, the group of royal guard mages, who knew almost nothing about adventure, finally turned to look at Celia.

Celia thought for a moment and said, "Let's stall for time and observe for a while longer."

"it is good!"

Celia did not retract the ice wall, which served as a final safeguard.

The others, however, began to reweave their networks to defend against the strange substances attempting to infiltrate. Celia released her mental energy, beginning to sense these oddities.

Just then, Ross's voice appeared in her mind.

"Two days."

"What...Lord Ross, do you mean Phil needs two days?"

"Ah."

Celia breathed a sigh of relief.

If there's a specific time, then things will be much easier.

Even if the 'immune system' attacks become increasingly intense, as long as the countdown to victory is visible, it's not a problem.

The real danger lies in continuing to resist aimlessly, without seeing any end in sight.

"Two days can be tough, hang in there," Rose encouraged.

Celia's heart skipped a beat.

Even the gods say it's going to be tough, so...

Celia looked at the 'immune system' outside that was corroding the defense network and decided to observe it for a while to see if she could find a way to make the 'immune system' ignore them.

"If what Lord Ross says is true, the reason these tentacles attacked us is because we've been wandering around inside the god's body these past few days."

"Now, we need to find a way to make the 'immune system' determine that we have no malicious intent and that we have the ability to 'coexist' with the body, so that these tentacles will stop attacking..."

If we consider them as 'viruses', then their casual strolls a couple of days ago could be considered the 'incubation period'.

After the incubation period ends, they have had some impact on the body, so the immune system reacts, the body temperature rises, and immune cells begin to attack them until they are all eliminated.

Speaking of which, how can germs coexist with the body?

Celia fell into deep thought.

Contemplating failure.

She is not a biologist.

Therefore, she had absolutely no idea how to avoid rejection.

"If Benovia were here."

Celia couldn't help but miss Benovia's erudition.

Perhaps because of Ross, Benovia didn't know as much about ancient knowledge as she did.

However, Benovia certainly understands all kinds of knowledge better now.

If she were here, she would surely be able to find a way to avoid the tentacles' attacks.

"Try it."

Time passed slowly.

The defensive net formed by fourth- and fifth-tier mages was layered upon layer, preventing the tentacles that had infiltrated from getting close to the group.

As a result, they felt that the surrounding temperature was higher.

Even the sound of a 'heartbeat' is louder.

Before long, everyone felt the intensity of the corrosion increase, and they needed to consume more magic power to create a defensive network in order to resist the powerful corrosiveness.

Lana frowned as she felt her magic power rapidly depleting, and said, "Since both attacking and defending will make them stronger, let's just use fourth- and fifth-tier spells to deal with them, and we'll still have time to rest."

Celia said calmly, "If you want these tentacles to grow stronger quickly, then do it this way."

“Listen to Miss Xi, let’s start now. We’ll divide into groups and take turns fighting. One team will fight, and the other team will meditate to restore their magic power.”

Celia said, "Two days, give me two days."

"Great! Two days, no problem!"
