Magical girl? She got tricked into this!

Meiko Anten was the first person who taught her a lesson so directly at the risk of her own safety.

However, it was also at this time that she suddenly noticed an inexplicable feeling in Anten Meiko, and this feeling seemed to constantly attract her, making her have an urge to get to know this person better.

She suppressed the throbbing in her heart and nodded slightly: "Well, I promise you."

"The information is almost enough. Now let's think about how to leave here." Meiko Anten frowned slightly as she looked at the light shield she created with magic power.

Fortunately, the black substance only has the function of suppressing the flow of magic power and has no offensive power, so Anten Meiko's glass shield can stay here for a long time after it is created.

However, once the Glazed Shield completely disappears, unless they cancel their transformation, even if they want to suppress the magic power in their bodies at such a close distance, the Void Beast above will be able to sense their location.

However, if they were to cancel the transformation at this moment, the large amount of demonic ether that filled the place might immediately corrode them without any protection.

Although I can isolate the aura by continuously creating glass shields, the magic power will eventually run out, and there is no point in not leaving here.

If you can't go up, how about going down?

Vita's casual remark immediately gave Anten Meizi an idea: "Yes, just go down. If we're lucky, we might be able to dig a passage."

"Going down?" Lianhua glanced at the ground covered in black matter. "Can your magic power hold up?"

"Yeah, no problem."

When she saved Tia from the attack of the Void Tyrannosaurus, she had already discovered that this black substance only had the effect of suppressing magic power and had no effect of attacking or absorbing magic power.

Although we don't know to what extent this black substance can cover, it will not cover the entire underground. As long as we can dig an underground passage or dig out directly to the void world, it will be enough to escape from here.

And as a body of destiny, Meiko Anten is a little different from others.

That is, she has integrated the original ether and can create magic power through her own body. Although the speed is not fast, it is at least a means to restore magic power.

"Let's get started without further ado."

An Teng Meizi took a deep breath and placed her hands on the inner wall of the Glazed Shield. "Please, Glazed Shield, try harder and make some space for me."

She continued to inject magic power into the glass shield, causing it to expand little by little, until it expanded to about one meter in size, which was large enough for them to move around, and then she stopped.

She stretched out her right hand and condensed a magic ball of light the size of a human head in her palm, then suddenly clenched her fist.

The ball of light moved downward and quickly covered Anten Meiko's right arm. The front end extended into a pointed tip, and the cone began to rotate rapidly, looking like a red drill.

"Sometimes I really have to admire Meizi. Even if I were some super-class magical girl, I'd still be inferior to you in terms of magic control."

An Teng Meizi smiled sheepishly and said, "Oh, don't praise me like that, I'm shy. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Get ready. I'll remove the Glazed Shield when we start."

"Well, go ahead and do it."

Volume 4: Something Hidden Beneath the Earth: Chapter 73: Excavation

If they wanted to move to the ground, they had to remove the Glazed Shield, but the Void Tyrannosaurus was just two meters above their heads, and the excavation magic fluctuations might be discovered by it even if they were blocked by the black matter.

So this is also a big gamble, betting that the void beasts above will not discover them, and betting that there is a way to go below.

When the drill, condensed by magic power, reached its maximum rotation speed, An Teng Meizi thought and whispered, "Lapis Lazuli Shield, release."

The glass shield that supported them for one meter of space disappeared in an instant, and Anten Meiko extended the magic drill covering her arm to the ground and began to dig frantically.

Although the drill bit only seemed to be able to dig a hole the size of a basketball, with its spreading magic power, it could also forcibly expand the dug hole into a tunnel large enough for a person to pass through while bending over.

The ground above their heads began to shake violently, and the void beasts finally discovered them.

There was a rumbling sound coming from the ground that was constantly being trampled, and the entire passage began to tremble unnaturally.

If they don't do something, this place may collapse at any time and bury them both underground.

"Glass Shield!" Helplessly, she could only hold up the Glazed Shield again.

However, the glass shield used this time was not full-body, but only a pentagonal transparent barrier to support the top of the head.

Except for the place where Anten Meiko and Renhua were under the barrier, the space behind them had been buried by the collapsed soil.

Of course, this did not panic Anten Meiko and the others, because they had no intention of returning the same way. All they had to do was keep moving forward.

As the excavation work continued, the vibrations coming from above became subtler. Although one could still hear the group of void beasts above that had no excavation ability still ravaging the ground in impotence and fury, the vibrations were no longer enough to collapse the passage.

"The threat from above is gone. Now we can focus on the excavation work."

It was indeed a good thing that she didn't have to be distracted to defend against the cave collapse, but the continuous output of magic power also put a huge pressure on her, especially when she had to maintain the form of magic power in this environment.

This level is no less than the twenty times gravity training in Tianqing Palace.

Following behind Anten Meiko, Tia wanted to let her rest for a while several times, but she didn't say it after feeling that her magic power was fluctuating and weakened too much.

But at this point, she couldn't help much.

[Ruby, how long has it been? ]

[It's been five hours. After the advancement, the master's magic power reserves are still very high, but if it continues like this, even the master's magic power will not be able to support it.]

It took her five full days to burn the Sky Flame Dragon's corpse with the Sky Flame Breath. Although the magic drill's consumption was not as great as the Sky Flame Breath, it was now almost reaching its limit.

【What about the second space? 】

[There's only a little magic left in the second dimension. Master, it's best for you to rest now. If you don't even have enough magic to transform, you might end up...]

Before Ruby could finish her words, she was interrupted by Anten Meiko's somewhat unexpected interjection.

【ah……】

【What's wrong, Master? 】

[It seems to have been dug out...]

She slowly moved the drill away, retracted the magic power in her hand, and took out the magic wand to illuminate the space.

A fist-sized hole appeared in the place she had just dug, and an almost imperceptible airflow passed through the hole.

"Get ready to go down, Lianhua."

"Yeah." Lianhua's senses are more acute than Anten Meiko's, although she also felt the air flow below at the first moment.

Although the air is not fresh, since there is air flowing, it means that the place below, which is not sure whether it is a cave or a square, must be connected to the outside.

Meiko Anten clenched her fists in joy and punched the ground below her body hard.

As the ground collapsed, the two of them fell uncontrollably. While falling, Anten Meiko also scanned the area with the radar.

The space here is a passage with a height of about fifty meters.

This height is naturally nothing for a magical girl. She can offset the acceleration of falling by simply casting some magic.

When landing, Anten Meiko staggered a little, but before she almost fell, she was supported by Lianhua who had already stood firm.

"Are you okay?" Lianhua asked worriedly.

"It's okay... I just used up a lot of mana. I'll be fine after a little rest."

"Well, here we are..."

"No, let's rest while walking. I'm afraid something might go wrong if I stay in a place like this for too long."

She did not reject Anten Meiko's suggestion. After the latter adjusted her breathing, she moved forward in the direction where the air flowed into the passage.

The surroundings were unusually quiet, with no other sounds except the breathing of the two people.

After five hours of continuous digging, they were already six or seven hundred meters underground, having originally been less than a hundred meters underground.

It is not an easy task to walk to the ground here, so they cannot waste any time. While waiting for Anten Meiko to recover her magic power, they move forward cautiously and quickly.

Suddenly, a rustling sound was heard in the passage where they were moving forward, as if countless insects were crawling somewhere.

Sensing this voice and the cold magic power that was constantly forcing towards them, both Anten Meiko and the other girl subconsciously tightened their weapons.

A black insect shot out silently like an arrow, its terrifying speed even exceeding the speed of a pistol bullet.

If Lianhua, who was walking in front, had not noticed something approaching, she would have been pierced in an instant.

But unfortunately, among all the advanced magical girls, Renhua, whose perception is second only to that of Anten Meiko who has turned on the slacking radar, had already noticed the insects before they made any move.

The black insect crashed head-on into the diamond sword that Lianhua had cut out in advance, and its entire body was split into two halves.

This cannon fodder who was the first to die was like a lit fuse. The sound of breaking wind rang out instantly, and countless insects shot towards the two girls like raindrops.

This fearless suicide attack could not shake Lianhua at all. She only relied on the sword in her hand to resist all the insects.

"Ok?"

A black sphere suddenly appeared outside Lianhua's detection range. Although this situation was a bit sudden, it did not catch her off guard.

She quickly pulled the diamond sword back in front of her, holding the sword tightly with both hands to block the violent impact coming from the front.

Volume 4: Something Hidden Beneath the Earth: Chapter 74: Fish Void Beast

The black sphere that rushed over was cut in half by the sharp sword blade, but Lianhua was also hit by the force and slid back a distance.

An Teng Meizi, who was protected behind him, looked down and saw that the thing that launched the collision attack was also a void beast, but it was a general-level void worm.

"The void beasts here are indeed unusual." Lianhua held the sword handle with his left hand and muttered while moving his right wrist.

Those on the ground, let alone the soldiers, even the generals and kings, pose no threat to her. Only the ghosts are a little tricky to deal with.

This may have something to do with the fact that her magic power was suppressed by the black substance, but this is not the key point, because what she just relied on was pure physical strength.

The self-sacrificing attack of the soldier-level void beast made her feel a little troublesome, and the self-sacrificing attack of the general-level void beast even made her arms numb.

Judging from the way it was cut in half, the insect looked a bit like a woodlouse, but it was not similar to a woodlouse in many ways, which means that this insect might also be an ancient species.

Dinosaurs, ancient insects, these extinct ancient species, after transforming into void beasts, have powers far exceeding those of existing species of the same level.

If this information were to be spread out, it would definitely shock the entire magical girl world.

But this result, which has been thoroughly confirmed, is undoubtedly absolutely bad news for them.

The magical girls' physical strength seems to be inexhaustible, but in fact it is not endless. They just use magic power to make up for the consumption of physical strength.

When magic power drops to a certain level, the ability to convert magic power into physical strength will naturally stop and only physical strength will be consumed.

When Anten Meiko saw Renhua's slightly heaving back and panting, she was very sure that in order to reduce the consumption of magic power, she had turned off the ability to convert magic power into physical strength.

After all, here, physical strength can be slowly restored through rest, but magic power cannot.

"Is that general the leader of that group of insects?"

Before they could catch their breath, they heard the sound of insects crawling behind them again, and there were more of them than the ones they had just cleaned up.

Lianhua seemed to want to turn around and block the insects coming from behind. Seeing this, An Teng Meizi immediately grabbed her hand and ran forward.

"Never mind all that, just run."

"But……"

"Don't worry about it. The bugs are following us. This isn't the way we're going. We need to get out of here as soon as possible."

A chase ensued, and they were like characters in a game who would be swallowed by lava if they didn't escape.

They were so nervous that they had no concept of time. They ran for an unknown amount of time in this passage without any turns or curves.

The insects behind them were also chasing them tirelessly until a glimmer of light appeared in their eyes, which was completely impossible to exist in the cave.

Such a strange scene made them both stunned for a moment, but then they gritted their teeth and rushed towards the direction where the light came from.

The end of this passage was undoubtedly connected to a transit square, but when they stepped out of this square, the pupils of both of them suddenly narrowed.

The light was a spherical white flesh membrane emitting a faint red light, and this spherical white membrane was connected to a thick black hose coming from below, while the ground of the square was a raging, hideous abyss.

There is only one creature in the deep sea that uses light to attract prey and devour it in one gulp: the anglerfish.

The Void Beast was a fish that Anten Meiko had never seen before. She originally thought that even if it was a Void Beast, fish would only appear in the sea or lake. She never thought that this thing would appear underground.

In other words, their actions at this moment were no different from jumping into someone's mouth.

She embraced Lianhua's delicate body, and her phoenix wings stretched out instantly, sending them into the air at the moment when the closing giant mouth was about to swallow them.

"Meizi...you can actually fly? And what's with these wings?"

When the Void Anglerfish felt that it had not swallowed its prey in one bite, it seemed to become angry and embarrassed, and its two small red eyes were looking at the two people above its head with anger.

"Now's not the time to talk about this! Star Twinkle!"

Facing the Void Anglerfish that opened its mouth to bite them again, Anten Meiko entered the Star Flash form, and with the help of the consciousness acceleration ability of this form, she kept her brain running and thinking about strategies.

The moment she stepped out of the cave, with the help of the light used by anglerfish to lure prey, Anten Meiko had already taken in the entire square environment.

A hundred meters above their heads was a ceiling completely covered by black matter, and beneath their feet was the anglerfish that had opened its mouth to them again. On the way back, the insects were already chasing them.
