Chapter 489: Bottom of the Cave
Erina imagined herself punching left and right in turn, shaking them around, and suddenly wanted to play another interesting game.
That is, pop the plastic bubble.
Very stress-relieving and addictive.
The underground waterway is much deeper than Erina expected.
But fortunately, her spiritual power is still enough to support exploring a considerable distance.
She felt like a drug molecule injected into her blood vessels, moving forward rapidly, killing all pathogens without leaving a trace.
While traveling in the turbid yellow water that seriously affected her vision, she could always hear some strange things.
There seemed to be some twisted figures and faces appearing all around.
When I wanted to take a closer look, they disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Erina always felt like someone was staring at her from behind.
She could always see a pale woman's face in the corner of her eye.
That face always had a smile that made people feel uncomfortable.
She didn't pay much attention to it, nor was she frightened.
It's not because she already knew the nature of the underworld water.
It's not because she hasn't always been afraid of these scary things.
It's because Erina takes her identity as a shrine maiden of the underworld very seriously.
She felt that as a miko of the underworld, it would be a shame if she was still afraid of the illusions and ghosts in the underworld.
You have to show your backbone.
She hopes that Yi Xing can also understand this feeling and bravely wear women's clothing.
These two things are essentially the same.
Erina felt that the sinking process was quite long.
It seems like there will never be an end.
The longer she suffered in her heart, the more curious and uneasy she became about the scene at the end.
After all, what terrible things will we see?
…But as the old saying goes, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
At the end, there is nothing.
Even the bloodworms haven't increased in size.
Erina swam around to see if there were any hidden forks, but found nothing.
She couldn't help being disappointed, but she was also relieved. After all, there was no abnormality, which meant safety.
In fact, due to the weirdness of this waterway, Erina had long been prepared to see something extremely terrifying.
However, there is nothing special here.
This was what surprised her the most.
Of course, this does not mean that the act of swimming to the deepest point is meaningless.
Because the water of Huangquan emerges from here.
To conduct the most thorough investigation, she must come here.
Erina felt the breath of Huangquan and tried to find out the reason why the water of Huangquan appeared here.
Gradually, she felt the power of Izanami - Hades continued to exert power on this source of pollution, causing the water of the underworld to leak out from the land of underworld and appear in this pit.
Sure enough, Izanami is causing trouble?!
Erina confirmed her guess, feeling a little excited, but also scared and confused.
She could not imagine that Izanami could still interfere with other worlds to this extent even though she was sealed.
What is the purpose of Pluto releasing the water from the underworld to Jiuyuan Township?
Erina couldn't figure it out no matter what.
She only knew that Izanami definitely had some far-reaching conspiracy.
Moreover, strange dream syndrome is probably related to her.
However, Erina just instinctively doubted Izanami.
She simply couldn't imagine how Izanami could spread this disease.
The God of Underworld should not have this ability.
But the erosion caused by the water of the Yellow Spring itself can produce many effects.
Could it be that Izanami eroded Kuongo through the water of the underworld, and as a result, this erosion spread to the earth in the form of strange dream syndrome?
If so, how was this accomplished? The erosion of Jiuyuan Township shouldn’t have such an impact on the earth?
Erina felt that she needed to think carefully. But not now.
Every minute she stays here is consuming spiritual energy. She can't waste time like this.
So, she began to cast spells, sealing the connection between this place and the underworld, and using the magic circle to speed up the disappearance of the underworld water here - doing this at the source of the underworld water is much easier than doing it outside.
Save a lot of energy.
However, Erina had to bleed herself under the water.
Although the wound healed instantly, she was a little worried about whether it might cause infection.
Now that the matter was done, she returned immediately.
On the way back, there were not so many sarcoma and blood worms to burn. But there were still some worms blocking the road. Their wriggling bodies made her feel bored just looking at them.
For such a disgusting thing, only by burning it will Erina feel less stressed when passing by.
After all, even if you accidentally hit the body, it would already be scorched.
It's not that this will increase her appetite. But once she uses methods such as chopping, the worms will become segmented, and the blood will make the surrounding turbid underworld water even dirtier.
On the way, Erina remembered the words written on the stone tablet in the ancient city of El:
【To those who come after.】
[All our efforts have failed. People are still cursed one after another and fall into a sleep from which they cannot wake up. There are more and more water in the underworld. 】
[If this continues, all water sources will probably be polluted. Our glorious Kingdom of Il can no longer hold on. 】
【Once upon a time, we were full of hope, thinking that we could find a solution in that world...but all that was just a beautiful dream. 】
【It is no longer possible to save our proud hometown.】
【But at least, we won't let the curse spread. 】
[We will activate the great seal and seal the entrance to the kingdom with the mountain.]
[Since no one can escape alive, the curse must not be allowed to spread outward. This can also seal the water of the underworld. 】
[But since you saw this stone tablet, the entrance must have appeared for some reason.]
[These words are reserved for your descendants.]
[If that sleeping curse reappears, then you can try to explore that world. Its energy fluctuations and curse appeared almost at the same time. After painstaking study, we finally completed the magic circle and opened the entrance. ]
[After the big seal is completed, the magic circle will probably become ineffective. But it can be reactivated by reinjecting spiritual power.]
[The way to break the curse may be in it. 】
【Our attempt failed. But you may be different.】
【May you succeed!】
Erina has a good memory when looking at things she is interested in.
She memorized the content on the stone tablet and kept it firmly in her mind.
Now, as she recalls these contents, she thinks that they probably suffered similar erosion to Jiuyuan Township back then.
or……
Even the ancient city of Il experienced the same thing that is happening to the earth now.
There is an essential difference between the two.
