Witch Special

"How dare you insult someone's innocence!" Reimu Maru Bun widened his eyes, as if he had suffered endless injustice, and said angrily.

"Who else could it be but you? You are the only one who can fly so fast in the sky, right?" The white-haired Tengu girl asked aggressively, waving the long steel knife in her hand.

Lin Zhenxi raised his hand and took the blame for the crime he committed, preventing Reimu Maru from being wrongly accused any further.

"Uh, well, I was testing my magic broom, and that's why it made such a big noise."

The white-haired Tengu then turned his head and looked at Lin Zhenxi. After staring at her for several seconds, she sniffed again and seemed to understand something.

"You don't smell like a witch at all. I was just about to blame Wen for bringing humans into Youkai Mountain."

Lin Zhenxi:?

Smell, what smell, do I have a smell?

Even though Lin Zhenxi doesn't usually like to dress up, she never lowers her standards when it comes to cleanliness. She won't hesitate to take a good shower even if she sweats a little, let alone smell.

"Don't doubt it, she has a dog's nose and can smell many things that normal people can't smell." Reimu Maru Bun explained considerately.

Then the white-haired Tengu's fur stood up, really stood up, the hair on its tail stood up directly, looking like the big hair roller in an automatic car wash. The comedic effect was even stronger than the previous one when the hair on Reimu Hakurei's wings stood up.

"You are the dog, I am the wolf, White Wolf! If you keep talking nonsense, I will chop you into pieces." The white-haired Tengu said angrily.

A hint of cunning, a look of success on Reimu's face, he directly retorted: "Ah, I'm a Tengu after all, so what's wrong with calling me a dog? But Crow Tengu doesn't have a dog's keen sense of smell, Inu-chan~"

"Waaaaaah, prepare to die, Wen. Today, only one of you or me can survive!" The White Wolf Tengu, who was provoked to madness, raised the big knife in his hand and slashed at Reimu Maru Wen.

Reimu Marufumi easily dodged the attack of the White Wolf Tengu, flew to Hayashi Maki who was already planning to watch the show, and grabbed Hayashi Maki's arm.

"Haha, stop chasing the little dog. We're going to the racetrack. Just focus on patrolling the mountain."

After saying this, Reimu Marufumi waved the fan in her hand, and a ring of air appeared in front of them. Reimu Marufumi dragged Lin Zhenxi into the ring. Lin Zhenxi immediately felt like she was tied to a rocket that was about to be launched, and her body was about to break.

But this acceleration was also really fierce. In the blink of an eye, Lin Zhenxi was brought to an unfamiliar place by this wind ring. The effect was almost comparable to teleportation. Of course, it would be better if the acceleration was not so rough.

What is this, a storm tunnel? Or... a sonic tunnel?

Now Lin Zhenxi and Reimu Marufumi came to a vast lake. Looking around, Lin Zhenxi was surprised to find that this place was actually located on the hillside of Youkai Mountain, and the peaks above it had become smaller and steeper, and should no longer be suitable for living.

This place... I understand, the Lake of the Wind God!

Lin Zhenxi remembered that on the world map of the Celebration World, there were also several special geographical landmarks on Monster Mountain, including the Wind God Lake and the Jiutian Waterfall.

While Wind God Lake isn't as vast as Mist Lake, it's undoubtedly the highest lake in the Separation Courtyard. The water flowing from Wind God Lake creates the largest waterfall in the Separation Courtyard, both in terms of scale and height—the Nine Heavens Waterfall.

The Jiutian Waterfall splits into two tributaries, flowing to the Xuanwu Lake, where the kappas live, and the Mist Lake, which Lin Zhenxi is most familiar with. Therefore, the Wind God Lake is actually the source of the other two major bodies of water, playing a vital role in regulating the water cycle in the Garden of the Dead.

But what does this have to do with Reimu Marufumi bringing me here?

It seems that Reimu Maru mentioned a racetrack just now, but where are the race cars here?

Lin Zhenxi looked over with confusion, while Yumemaru blinked mysteriously and said, "Don't panic, you won't choke on the water."

"what?"

Before Lin Zhenxi could react, she was once again dragged forward by Reimu Marufumi. But this time, they flew straight towards the lake below.

Below is the water surface, plur plur plur!

Lin Zhenxi's scream was directly poured back into her mouth by the water. She quickly closed her mouth tightly and prepared to take some measures to avoid drowning.

But then, Lin Zhenxi's movements paused, because a bizarre underwater city appeared before him.

Thanks to buoyancy, underwater structures don't need to adhere to many of the restrictions found on the ground. Simply by maintaining a balance between gravity and buoyancy, they can remain stable at any depth underwater. Thus, the foundation for the construction of a fully three-dimensional underwater city has been laid.

The entire city is built around a huge pillar of light. Various neon lights flicker back and forth in the clear lake water, making the lake water, which should be extremely dark, shine brightly.

Among these buildings, numerous youkai moved about. Blue-haired kappas with berets and large backpacks on their backs, tengus with animal ears and wings, and various other youkai moved freely underwater, seemingly unfazed by the underwater environment.

Lin Zhenxi even saw a barbecue stall. Can you believe that a barbecue stall was opened underwater?

If it weren't for the sight of schools of fish swimming back and forth in this underwater city, Lin Zhenxi would have found it hard to believe that this place was actually underwater.

"Don't panic, I told you won't choke on the water." At this time, Reimu Marufumi's voice came from beside Lin Zhenxi, extremely clear.

Lin Zhenxi turned her head and looked at Reimu Marufumi, who was still floating beside her but whose clothes were not even wet, and finally realized the problem.

"The water here has messed up the rules of the air?" Lin Zhenxi inhaled a stream of water through his nose underwater. Sure enough, he did not feel choked, but only felt a cool feeling in his lungs.

This is much more cruel than the underwater breathing spell and cheek grass. Someone has given the lake water here the properties of air, which has changed the basic rules of water. It is like turning flames into solids and making solid iron balls float on the water. They are all acts of distorting the rules of the world completely with one's own consciousness.

In fact, Hayashi Maki's "launch" also has some similar characteristics, essentially giving a speed to an object that originally had no speed. However, no speed is also a kind of speed. Hayashi Maki simply slightly changes the value and direction of this speed, not fabricating a law that matter does not originally have.

Seeing that Lin Zhenxi had figured out the essence of the problem so quickly, Yumeiwan was also a little surprised. Although Lin Zhenxi's strength was not very good, his vision was indeed amazing.

"It seems that your nerdy teacher has really taught you a lot. The rules here are indeed special."

"Because this is the Lunar Surface Passage, a high-speed interplanetary passage built by the Star God himself. Long ago, the Blue Moon Star crossed the sun through this passage and connected with the planet opposite the sun."

Lin Zhenxi felt completely paralyzed. Even though she knew the waters of the Leaving Courtyard were deep, even containing beings like the Source Spirit, she had only heard from Teacher Patchouli; she had never seen it herself. However, this interplanetary passage, capable of crossing the sun, was most likely the work of a Star God.

Star Gods are higher beings than the World Will. The World Will is merely the planet's spokesperson, while Star Gods are the planet's masters, controlling everything on the planet. In other words, a Star God has the final say on how a planet rotates.

Not every planet can give birth to a Star God. In the previous world, the civilization advancement that the will of that world was obsessed with achieving was actually the orthodox channel to become a Star God.

Of course, He gave up later and embarked on a path of quick success and instant benefits, which was to control power and become a god of the universe.

The gods of the universe do not have the many restrictions that the star gods have, but the power they wield is relatively single. It cannot be said that they are weaker than the star gods, but they certainly do not live as freely as the star gods.

After all, the Star God had an entire planet as their main support, and they were a highly advanced interstellar civilization. It went without saying who was more likely to succeed when it came to accomplishing something: fighting alone or with the resources of a fully developed civilization.

Lin Zhenxi didn't think that building an interstellar highway directly to other planets could be accomplished by anyone alone. This was clearly a massive undertaking, and even describing it as a miracle wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Star God, isn’t that the great god? The status of the Star God is much higher than those miscellaneous indigenous gods in mythology.

If it was the Star God who took action and made water breathable like air, it wouldn't seem like a big deal.

No longer paying attention to the water problem here, Lin Zhenxi immediately realized that, in fact, compared with the gold content of this beam of light, the water problem here is nothing at all.

The interplanetary highway channel even crosses the sun in the middle. Such a large project is actually hidden in the Courtyard of Death.

What will the overall appearance of such a grand project be like?

Although it is impossible to see what it looks like from the outside, Lin Zhenxi seems to have the opportunity to go in and see what it looks like inside.

After all, if it came to straight-line speed, there really was no better place than this planetary tunnel. And didn't Reimuchi himself say it was a "racetrack"? Clearly, this tunnel had ceased to fulfill its original purpose and had become a playground for the local monsters.

Although he didn't know what happened here or why such a grand project was abandoned, it was enough for him to know that this place would become the perfect testing ground for Lin Zhenxi to test how fast his broom could be.
