Witch Special
Chapter 422 Tunnel War
Although Lin Zhenxi has added functions to this True Eye, it still cannot hear any sound. This can be considered a defect, but Lin Zhenxi still doesn't know how to change it.
After all, this is a magic eyeball. There is nothing wrong with using it to see things, but it has no ears. It is too much to ask of an eyeball to hear the movements nearby.
Forget it, so be it.
Of the two paths, Lin Zhenxi chose the one away from the Orc Canyon. The noises she heard were too eerie, and they clearly didn't belong to the mortal realm. While the beasts in the Orc Canyon were truly beasts, they were still intelligent creatures, and Lin Zhenxi didn't think they could produce the kind of noises that would be heard in the underworld.
Moreover, the fact that the "Canine Mercenaries" in the Orc Canyon only operate on the platform is quite strange in itself. The space in the underground tunnel is not small. Why do they have to pile all the goods on the platform and light so many bright bonfires?
It was as if it was afraid of something in the darkness, and the thing hidden in the darkness was also afraid of the fire.
She wanted to see what else was inside this underground tunnel.
As the Eye of Truth gradually went deeper, Lin Zhenxi soon discovered some abnormal traces in the tunnel.
Although everything is black and white in dark vision and the specific colors cannot be seen clearly, Lin Zhenxi still guessed that they should be bloodstains based on the texture of those traces.
However, these bloodstains look very sticky and don't look like the blood of a normal creature.
Such traces were everywhere in the tunnel, on the rails, on the walls, and even on the ceiling. This made Lin Zhenxi suspect that the creatures in the tunnel might have some strong climbing ability, even crawling upside down on the ceiling as if it were flat ground.
A spider? Or a lizard? But how do you explain those sounds?
Let’s keep looking forward.
After flying forward for a while, Lin Zhenxi finally found the real person. From a distance, she saw something crawling between the two railroad tracks, with its head buried and trembling all over.
Flying a little closer, Lin Zhenxi finally saw the monster's appearance clearly.
After seeing the other party's appearance clearly, Lin Zhenxi felt nauseous. This thing looked too embarrassing.
It looked like... well, Lin Zhenxi couldn't even find any suitable adjectives to describe it. Although it still had a humanoid shape, it looked more like a large, but very skinny frog. Its hands and feet were on the ground at the same time. When squatting on the ground, it could even put its buttocks on the ground. Such a posture is impossible for ordinary humans.
Then there was the head and face, which had been deformed to the point of being unrecognizable as a human. It was skin and bones, a ball with facial features. Furthermore, its mouth stretched all the way to the back of its head, its mouth full of sharp, broken teeth and pieces of flesh hanging from them. The sight was terrifying, and even physically uncomfortable.
Its eyes are two black holes, its nose is a hole where the two nostrils are connected together, and finally there is a big mouth that almost splits its head in half, and its scalp is covered with keratin growths. This kind of thing can scare people even if you see it in the bright sun, not to mention that it came out from the darkness.
After careful observation, Lin Zhenxi also discovered that many of the monster's joints were reversed, perhaps this was what allowed it to make poses that ordinary people could not do.
When Lin Zhenxi manipulated the Eye of Truth to change the angle and approach the monster, he discovered that there was actually a corpse of its own kind in front of the monster, but now it had been gutted. The squatting monster's mouth was full of minced meat, obviously all from its own kind.
Could this kind of monster actually hunt its own kind?
The monster should be full now. It stared blankly at the corpse in front of it. After a while, it covered its face with its hands, whose fingers were as long as chisels, curled up its body, and began to tremble all over.
Judging from common sense, its current movements should indicate pain and regret. Lin Zhenxi returned her consciousness to her body, leaned over to the barrier, and listened carefully. Sure enough, she heard the same sobbing mixed with screaming in the tunnel outside.
So what the hell is this thing and why is it so scary?
To be honest, Lin Zhenxi didn't want to be neighbors with such monsters at all. They looked like they had just run out of a horror story. When she thought that this tunnel might be the lair of such monsters, Lin Zhenxi felt uncomfortable all over.
Are you moving?
Or should we get rid of all these terrible monsters?
It’s better to leave it there for now. Lin Zhenxi estimated that she wouldn’t stay in this place for too long, so there’s no need to wipe out the entire clan just because their appearance doesn’t please the audience.
So Lin Zhenxi really didn't care anymore. She used a magic barrier to reinforce the entrance to her current place, added a silent function, and then yawned and went back to the magic hut to take off her clothes and go to bed.
When she wakes up, the glass altar should cover the entire Time Square. She will then have a conclusion as to whether her colleagues are here or not.
This time, Lin Zhenxi was not woken up again and slept soundly until she woke up naturally. After she washed and cleaned herself, she pushed open the door of the magic house and went outside to check the results of the search on the glass altar.
The Glazed Altar did not disappoint Lin Zhenxi. In one night, it not only scanned the entire garbage mountain in the Time Square, but also scanned a large area of the nearby Orc Canyon. At this rate, the entire Orc Canyon might be within the imaging range of the Glazed Altar tomorrow.
With such a useful search tool, is there anything or anyone that Lin Zhenxi can't find?
Well, there really are. Lin Zhenxi checked the records of the Heart of the Rising Sun and found that there were several imaging black holes that the Glazed Altar could not penetrate. Those places were all areas with highly concentrated magic power. The working mode of the Glazed Altar was to get feedback and generate images by rendering elements, but if the magic power in a certain place not only could not be rendered, but would in turn erode the surrounding rendered elements, then the Glazed Altar would be useless to them.
In other words, there must be something with very strong magical power in those visible hollow areas.
Are there things in the Orc Canyon with high magical power? Those are probably the giant magical ores. If that's the case, it's perfectly normal that the Glazed Altar can't display them.
This world is fundamentally different from Saitama's world. This world is a world where magic exists and the magic intensity is very high. The strategies that worked for Lin Zhenxi in Saitama's world may not work in this world.
Lin Zhenxi understood that there were things in the Orc Canyon that couldn't be displayed, but there were also things in the Time Square, which made Lin Zhenxi pay attention. Because she was a little suspicious that the reason her colleague lost contact was that he might have activated some extreme self-protection measures and completely isolated himself.
The garbage mountains in Time Square were piled so high that Lin Zhenxi didn't believe they could be very strong. Any violent vibration would probably cause a large area of them to collapse. If his colleagues saw that the situation was not right and took some life-saving measures, and then the garbage mountain next to them collapsed and buried them, it was also very likely.
Lin Zhenxi's mission this time demanded she dig deep into the ground, searching every possible spot. It was a tough job, but since she'd accepted it, she had no choice but to persevere, even if it meant burying it in a mountain of garbage.
Anyway, it was definitely not Lin Zhenxi herself who dug the garbage mountain. She has so many servants under her command, so it would be enough to just call over a few of them.
There is no need to consider the high-energy targets exposed on the surface of the Orc Canyon. Lin Zhenxi plans to dig out the high-energy targets on the garbage mountain first to see what is in those places.
But this would inevitably lead to a conflict with the "Canine Tooth Mercenary Group" that controlled this area. Although yesterday's experience showed that these dog-headed men here didn't seem very powerful, with virtually no resistance to magic, they had backers. Behind Gragul stood the organization called the Xiaxiu Sect, and the Xiaxiu Sect's leader was known as the Demon Emperor, a mastermind who clearly wielded magic. Lin Zhenxi didn't think her limited magic could deceive all the natives of this world.
So, she decided not to complete these tasks openly, but to dig tunnels quietly!
Indeed, she discovered that the people here had little idea of what was happening underground. She couldn't find any underground projects on the Liuli Altar, aside from this subway, which clearly wasn't built by the orcs. So, wouldn't the underground space be her domain? Lin Zhenxi had quite a few familiars skilled in digging. If they could approach those high-energy targets from underground, wouldn't they avoid conflict with those above ground?
Lin Zhenxi felt that this was a very feasible idea, so she decided to do it.
When it comes to digging holes, the two most convenient familiars are undoubtedly the Chess Dwarf and the Digging Mole. Nifflers are actually faster at digging holes, but there are too few of them. Lin Zhenxi can only summon one Niffler, and with the amount of work he currently has to do, one Niffler is simply not enough.
Anyway, Lin Zhenxi has now mastered the mature magic generator technology. She only needs to summon the creatures, and the magic to maintain their existence can be drawn from the magic generator. She does not need to maintain it herself. This greatly expands the number of familiars that Lin Zhenxi can summon, and it is enough for her to maintain the number of familiars of an engineering team.
So, come out, my underground engineering troops!
Chess Dwarf, Digger Mole: Fighting for you, my lady.
