Chapter 117: Infiltration
The long walkway is narrow and dark, flanked by hard stone walls, protruding stones of different sizes and shapes, unevenly distributed, uneven, and soft dirt underfoot, perhaps because of the shade of the environment, the humidity in the narrow walkway is high, making people feel that the dull humid air is mixed with the earthy smell of earth.

There are occasionally a few broken spars buried at the angle between the stone wall and the ground on both sides, and the sea blue or blue-white surface emits a shimmer of the same color as the surface, which is the fragments of ice and water crystal, and the humid air in the corridor is also formed because of their existence, although it has been broken, and the magic power has been lost in large quantities, unable to exert its original ability, but it has accumulated a lot, gathering sand into a tower, and these fragments are distributed in this corridor with a less loose density, which also changes the original environment.
The sound of chaotic footsteps echoed in the hallway, the mud rustled after being trampled, Suzu wiped the sweat from her head, gently tugged at her collar, and the accelerated flow of air brought her a slight coolness.
"Did I say it's really the best strategy to get here?" she pouted and grumbled, the combination of sweat and water in the air wetting her clothes, soaking her skin and making her body uncomfortable.
"Well, according to Grandma Sharo, this mine is the only place where we can be sure that we can sneak into that moonlit night, and to be honest, we are really lucky to have such a mine that can be connected to our destination, otherwise it is really impossible for us to sneak into the huge wall around the city that is so tightly guarded, and there is only such a passage. Walking behind the bell, Lin said.
"That's right, this mine is the only one distributed in the interior of the town, the geographical location is relatively narrow, in the northwest direction of the imperial capital, you should also know when you come, here is sparsely populated, so the realm is relatively less distributed, and after the collection of ore, there are many more abandoned tunnels inside the mine, and it is not taken seriously, but it provides a good way for us to sneak in, and just now the moon song bird has chirped, and now the moment is the moment when everyone sleeps, compared to the normal working time, only the knights in charge of the guard in the moonlit night court still insist on their posts, the number of soldiers has been reduced a lot, and it has also increased the success rate of our program. Chase said on the side, because of the difference in body, all parts of its body are close to the ground, and the lower the place, the wider the area of air contact with the shards of flares, so the air is relatively more humid, and its hair is almost soaked, "Okay, I'll admit, this place really makes people feel uncomfortable like crazy, no, it's making the wolf uncomfortable like crazy, I'm soaked, and my hair is still absorbing water, and now I feel like I'm falling heavily on my legs with every step." β
"Abandoned tunnels, although it is indeed beneficial for us not to be taken seriously, but because of this, no one has repaired here, these discarded sparks of Yaojing are scattered and buried in the soil, and most of them are water Yaojing or ice Yaojing, the air humidity is annoying, and the space is so narrow, it also makes people feel stuffy, if it is a normal use of the tunnel, it will definitely not be like this. Suzu pouted.
"It's all a little bit better, it's much better than breaking through at the gate without dying, although Grandma Sharo is reluctant to go with us, but it really helps us to provide us with such information, but I now seem to understand the hard work of the old-timers who fought tunnel warfare in our human world, and sure enough, success and hardship coexist," Lin said, "Suzu, you increase the flame in your hand a little more, and I feel that the road ahead seems to have changed a little." β
"Hmm. Suzu raised her hand, the orange-red glimmer on her body faintly flashed, the magic power worked rapidly in her body, the fireball that was originally condensed in her hand was suddenly expanded, the range of firelight increased by a few points, the shadow in front of her was gradually eliminated, and the front of the pit revealed the true face of the concealment, two pitch-black holes lined up side by side, and the road was divided into two, which was a fork in the road.
The importance of Suzu's flame is suddenly increased in places like abandoned mine tunnels, and Suzu uses her magic to condense a fireball as a light in order to see the way forward.
"Well, Lin's eyes are so good," Suzu said.
"I'm a long-range firepower, how can I do it without the corresponding eyes. Lin pushed his glasses, with a little pride in his voice, and sure enough, it was a man who would be happy when he was praised by the girl he liked.
"So, what should we do next, this is the mine, the abandoned tunnels must be more than this, the chaotic distribution of the tunnels is intertwined, it is simply a small labyrinth, if you walk around, you will get lost. Xiao Fan asked.
"That's right, in that case, let's not talk about saving people, we're all in trouble, and it would be bad if we strayed into a normal tunnel and ran into other people," Kai echoed, "I suddenly feel a little nostalgic for the RPGs I used to play, at least there are maps in there to see." β
"The Moon Night Realm is now in the time of rest, I shouldn't run into people, the profession of miner doesn't need to work overtime late at night, besides, it's easy to cause danger in the mine with bad light," Suzu said, "Besides, we can also have things like maps, and I don't have the ability to control flames." β
Suzu closed her eyes, the flow of magic in her body suddenly accelerated, and an invisible realm was quietly released, with Suzu as the center, it quickly extended to all parts of the mine, as if sending out a group of invisible scythe skirts, these weasel skirts were not affected by the darkness at all, they were like elves who were never fettered, shuttling through all corners of the mine, they passed through the stone walls, jumped through the cracks in the stones, crawled on the bumpy walls with flexible limbs, leaving footprints on the dirt floor, they passed all the captured confidence to Suzu, and countless information was mixed together, forming a map in Suzu's mindThe entire structure of the mine is clearly engraved on the disembodied map.
This is the spiritual detection of the bell, those scythe groups in the human world are interpreted as a kind of biological electricity, and in the concept of magic, it is a kind of spiritual energy, Sharo explained to the bell that in the elemental attributes of magic, in addition to the spatial attribute is the magic of night and the magic of day at the same time, there is also a special magic, that is, the magic of the spiritual attribute, this magic often has no substance, only exists in the form of a concept, but can be used really, and this special magic can only be mastered by a very few people, and the degree of difficulty is not under the space magicγ
And Suzu happens to have the talent to master this kind of magic, and at the beginning, she can already use mental power to perceive.
"I almost forgot, Suzu's perception is also very strong. Chase said that the others also realized when Suzu closed her eyes, and as Suzu herself said, the map depicting the structure of the mine was already taking shape in her mind while Suzu's eyes were closed.
"It's really messy," Suzu frowned and opened her eyes, "Take the right way, that's the right way." She stretched out her hand and pointed to the hole on the right, and the fireball fluttered forward at the same time, completely exposing the shape of the hole to everyone's eyes.
"Suddenly, I felt that the bell was a must-have treasure for home travel, and it could illuminate and navigate, and at the same time combined the functions of GPS and flashlight. Kai complained.
"That's right, but it's not much, the flame can not only light up, but also cook and dry clothes, even for wilderness survival training. Lin echoed on the side, he remembered the short time when he had just woken up, the moonlight was comfortable, Suzu and he sat next to each other, enjoying the same cluster of firelight, the warmth of the flame made the faces of the two people hot, thinking about it, Suzu's moving face that was close at hand appeared clearly in his mind, stroke by stroke, the lines were soft...... His face was a little hot again.
"In that case, Suzu also merged a microwave oven and a dryer. Xiao Fan also joked on the side.
"I don't seem to understand, there are too many things in your conversation that don't exist in the moonlit night realm, but it sounds like it feels powerful, and in short, it's unclear. Chase didn't forget to interject.
"In an RPG, this should be a golden finger, well, and it also incorporates the function of plug-ins. Kai said again.
Next is everyone's all kinds of nonsense, Suzu can't help but want to cover her face, with such a group of guys who can be called "funny" to some extent, there are simply too many times for people to cover their faces.
"Hey, what is a merger, what is a must-have treasure for home travel, am I the latest product of what brand?" β
"But seriously, your ability to open a map is really useful, it's like ...... Well, it's like God has given us gifts, we need fire, you can release fire, we need the right path, you can make a map in your mind through spiritual detection, it's like God has gathered all the gifts given to us in you alone. Kai sighed with appreciation.
Is it a gift from heaven...... Thinking of this, Suzu suddenly trembled, and an inexplicable sense of uneasiness welled up in her heart, and the uncomfortable cold that made her climb up her back, since God can give gifts, then God can also see the every move of those who have received their gifts, if Suzu is a collection of God's gifts, then can it be said that he and everyone are also being observed by some unknown existence, and are observed by the unknown existence that cannot be touched.
It's really uncomfortable, Suzu thought to herself, it was like a warrior full of faith rushing to the dragon's lair with a sword in his hand to rescue the imprisoned princess, he struggled to advance and fight, bathed in blood, but he didn't know that behind him, the king and the real dragon were sitting in front of the chessboard and leisurely playing chess, and the chess pieces were the warriors and the warriors' companions, who were only improvised concepts created for the entertainment of some people from beginning to end.
For a moment, her mind was suddenly filled with a word called "fate", this mysterious word was like a cog, a cog that decided everything, it turned, and the other gears had to rotate with its rotation, and finally a certain machine moved, and the cogs determined the machine, just as fate determined everything about a person, including the result of his every decision.
If you are a person who is determined by fate, when you know that you have been destined for fate, then what will you do, will you accept it, or will you reject it? You have no other choice, fate is a sailor's knot, the more you struggle it gets tighter, the only choice you can choose is to accept it, or to bite it off, to bite off the knot of fate.
"What's wrong? You suddenly look very bad?" Chase asked, glancing at Suzu.
"It's nothing," Suzu shook her head, although she still had doubts about what was ahead of her, but at least for the time being, she believed in her choice, and she would also carry out her choice to the end, if fate really wanted to tear apart herself and Lyle, the two poor children, then she would rather change from a poor child to a crazy child who fought to the death against fate, "Let's keep walking, we can't stand still in this kind of place." β
Yes, as someone once said, no matter what you do, no one can know the final result, all you can do is to believe in your choice and go on steadfastly.
"Hmm. Chase nodded, could it be some mental abnormality caused by the special constitution of the blood heir? It thought to itself that it knew more about some of Suzu's secrets than Suzu herself, just as the so-called authorities were obsessed with bystanders.
Behind the crowd, in the shadows they didn't know, a figure gradually emerged from the darkness, and the person's body exuded a smell like the smell of yellow springs.
He smiled evilly and looked at everyone's backs, and a small magic array appeared in his hand, and the magic power of the spatial attribute emitted a faint characteristic pulse.
"Everything is going according to plan, it's just that a few rats seem to have mixed in, what are you going to do over there, you don't want the plan to be disturbed by some uneasy factors," the man said, "Lord Sora, I won't want to, I'll get rid of the magic here, there seems to be a very special one in that group of little mice, although I have been trying my best to suppress the magic, but it will inevitably be perceived, then, goodbye." β
The magic circle dissipated into light chips.
"Huh?" Suzu suddenly turned her head, staring suspiciously at the darkness behind her.
"What's wrong?" Lin asked, "Is there anything wrong?" He had always been alert, and he also trusted Suzu's senses, and his uneasiness gradually escalated in his heart.
"It's strange, just now it seems that I sensed a faint magic power for a moment, but now I feel it carefully, but I find that there is nothing, is it an illusion? She scratched her head.
The tunnel, hidden by the darkness, is like the throat of a monster, and the bottomless is terrifying.
