Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Countless lines rose into the air, but were forced to stop due to the obstruction of the passage.

For a moment, everything in sight was dazzling with light and color.

Mina Utsunomiya and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

At this moment, they were amazed by Haruhiko's foresight.

Actually, he just stumbled upon it by accident.

Haruhiko looked at Hoshino Hotaru.

The fluctuations in psychic energy created a wind that caused her hair to flutter backward, making it exceptionally silky.

The stone gate, however, has not yet been opened.

Hotaru Hoshino's lips moved silently.

Psychic energy surged from her body once again.

There was a bang.

The stone gate trembled and slowly moved to both sides.

"opened!"

Mina Utsunomiya perked up.

Of the eight people here, she is the one I care about the most.

After all, what's inside concerns the future development of the Utsunomiya clan.

As the door opened completely, the scene inside came into view.

Everyone was taken aback.

The dense psionic energy surged outwards like a river.

There were no casualties.

Because these psionic energies are not controlled by psionicists, but are purely natural, existing in a gaseous state.

Haruhiko raised an eyebrow.

It is already comparable to the spiritual energy concentration of the fourth level of the Takamagahara Ruins.

He felt somewhat unwell for a moment.

Fortunately, external factors mitigated the reaction, preventing it from becoming too strong.

"Is this... a spiritual vein?"

Looking at the familiar bright-colored mountain wall, Mina Utsunomiya blurted out.

There is still a passageway behind the stone gate.

But the walls gleamed like jade, and one could vaguely see flowing spiritual energy.

This is undoubtedly a highly condensed spiritual vein.

The Utsunomiya and Miyamoto clans originally also had spiritual veins, but they have now been divided up.

The importance of spiritual veins is self-evident; they are like a major accelerator.

It has a profound impact on the development of a family.

Haruhiko secretly thought that he would make a profit.

If you were to sell a spiritual vein, you could get a lot of fifth-tier spiritual tools for the price of one.

Of course, any organization with a modicum of ideals would not sell itself, but would instead use the funds to cultivate talent.

For the Utsunomiya clan at present, this is undoubtedly a timely help.

Although it serves the same purpose in the Nyotengu Ruins, that one belongs to the Tsuchimikado clan, and the number of slots is limited.

"Everyone, please be careful."

Haruhiko then thought of something else: there was a spiritual vein here, which meant almost limitless spiritual energy.

He couldn't even imagine what might be hidden deep within the ruins.

Mina Utsunomiya and the others also came to their senses, their faces showing vigilance.

This world is based on psychic energy.

With enough psychic energy, there are infinite possibilities.

In other words, this ruin would be extremely dangerous.

"Let's go in."

Haruhiko looked down at the white fox at his feet.

If it weren't for Jinguji Fuyugo, he would definitely be home calling for reinforcements right now.

After all, this is quite a large-scale operation.

He doesn't take risks without a reason.

However, now that Jinguji Tougo is available, it's worth a try.

Mina Utsunomiya nodded with a serious expression.

She was still walking at the very front.

They walked along the spiritual vein deeper and deeper, but apart from the increasingly dense spiritual energy in the vicinity, they did not encounter anything special.

Haruhiko found it a bit strange.

This passage is far too long.

They were walking at a good pace, but after several minutes, they still couldn't see the end of the road.

Just as he was wondering what was going on, something finally happened.

The passage branched into two paths, one to the left and one to the right, both leading to bottomless depths.

"Master, shall we split into two groups?"

Mina Utsunomiya stopped and asked.

"Being not."

Haruhiko shook his head and said, "Let's take the left path first."

There was only one Jinguji Fuyugo.

He was worried that if the troops were split into two groups, problems might arise and timely rescue would be impossible.

The best solution is to go together.

Mina Utsunomiya hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

But it’s understandable.

The group entered the passage on the left.

After walking only a few steps, the temperature began to rise, as if they were heading towards the lava deep within a volcano.

252. Chapter 252 Hoshino Pear

The surrounding temperature rose higher and higher, to the point that the air became distorted, and waves of heat rolled in.

Haruhiko subconsciously activated the Fisherman's Song Night Fire, which relieved the discomfort.

Although the others did not have the fishing songs and night fires, they could use their psionic energy to insulate against the temperature.

Soon, we reached the end of the passage.

The wide opening faintly reflected the color red.

Haruhiko already had a guess in his mind. He stepped forward and, sure enough, it was lava.

They were currently about ten meters away from the lava.

It just doesn't look particularly special.

Haruhiko touched his chin.

The passage was clearly carved out by human hands.

If it's just lava, there's no need to build a special road.

After all, magma is of little use to psionicists.

Even if you are practicing fire-attribute spells, you don't need to go to the crater.

Although the environment provides some advantages, they are very limited.

"You all check it."

Haruhiko didn't find anything, but others might.

After all, he's the weakest here.
