Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva!.

Chapter 547 Tilan's Underground Journey

Water flowed down from the sky, washing the surface of the lake and splashing waves of wet mist.

His toes stepped on the surface of the lake, leaving faint ripples, and then he jumped lightly. A spherical light shield rose from under his feet, wrapping his entire body, passing through the waterfall crashing into the water, and entering the cave behind.

There were two members guarding in the dark cave. When they saw someone jump in, they moved forward to check.

"President Yanqing." When they saw the girl in a white tight latex suit and sea-blue hair, they bowed their heads and greeted her.

With a slight nod, the singer with wavy hair then floated up into the air, leaned forward a little, and then quickly shuttled through the cave like a fish, entering the secret base.

Half a minute later, Shui Yanqing's body hovered, her eyes sweeping across the busy scene. Some members were sitting in front of the screen, constantly marking and contacting the front-line teams, some were counting supplies and recording data, and some were experimenting with new equipment, and then ready to go out at any time to support the teams at the front.

The two pink-haired mermaids swam over and hovered beside Shui Yanqing.

"you are back."

"Is everything going well now?" Shui Yanqing asked.

"It went smoothly, because we just landed yesterday. Currently, each star cluster is still rapidly looking for bases to expand. Even if they meet each other, they will not start a war to avoid wasting their strength too early."

"If you want to see the specific situation, you can follow us." As they spoke, the two mermaids swam in the air and took Shui Yanqing to the command center inside the base.

Passing through a gate guarded by several tall autonomous units, Shui Yanqing entered the inner space, where there were six huge 'culture tanks'.

Although they are called "culture tanks", their functions are actually closer to immersion cabins, but their style is like a water column, with a kind of water liquid emitting a faint blue light inside. In each water column, a mermaid girl with a blue tail is suspended. They wear half-covered helmets with many flashing indicator lights on them, and then spread their hands, and the special device on the wrist extends a signal line directly to the AI ​​terminal at the bottom of the water column.

After seeing this scene, Shui Yanqing was not surprised. She knew that these mermaid girls were using the base's signal transmission tower to synchronously connect with the teams on the front line to help them deal with various emergencies, analyze the situation, and give action suggestions.

Mermaids are a highly improved and evolved race, and are also the most specialized race among all the current branches of humanity. They can live in liquids for their entire lives, can transmit information through sound waves and sonar, can directly absorb electrical energy to replenish energy consumption, and understand simple electrical signals. If they practice the lepton sequence, they can even gain information processing capabilities similar to AI.

The 'Light Scales' have all the abilities mentioned above, and even have the ability to share mental connections that mermaids don't have, because the 'Light Scales' are a new race created by the original dark sun combining 'angel prototypes' and 'mermaids'.

Coming to the open space in the large water column, Shui Yanqing sat in the immersion cabin where she could lie down, picked up the half-covered helmet beside her and put it on.

The light pink eyes flickered, and then the part of the helmet that connected to the eyes also showed a realistic picture. Then Shui Yanqing lay down, and her consciousness began to rapidly approach the members fighting on the front line.

……

In the tall jungle, a six-meter-tall demonic poisonous giant lizard raised its head and roared, biting a student with its sharp teeth and shaking it continuously, tearing the wound while traces of venom seeped into it.

On the other side, two members of the same group kept shooting at the giant lizard with guns, but they were still unable to penetrate the tough and reflective scales. One member finally couldn't help but drop his gun and took out the hilt of the lightsaber he was carrying at his waist.

"We can't wait, let's go straight in, otherwise Lola's thigh will be torn off directly." He shouted sternly.

"Damn it." Another companion looked at his unlucky companion who was bitten by the giant lizard, threw down his gun, and took out his lightsaber.

"The reinforcements are coming too slowly, so we have no choice but to go."

Then the two of them jumped up and rushed towards the monitor lizard that was running with its legs spread out in the woods. With a buzzing sound, the lightsabers lit up, and as the two of them swung their swords, they cut off various branches and trunks along the way and pierced straight into the monitor lizard's body.

"Zizi——" Violent sparks and burnt blood mist filled the air.

The monitor lizard roared in agony, and the injured companion in its mouth finally fell down. However, the good times did not last long. Just as the two were about to rescue it, the monitor lizard with bloodshot eyes turned its head, and a strange light flashed in its golden vertical pupils.

"Oh no—" Before the two could finish their words, their bodies became extremely stiff and unable to move, and then they rolled off the monitor lizard's back and fell into the mud and water.

Demonic Poisonous Lizard [Natural Sequence 6 (Rare Crystal Grade)]: An extraordinary creature with special petrification ability. Its scales can switch between soft and hard at any time to deal with various physical attacks. It has a special toxin. Once injected, the body becomes paralyzed and the magic power is contaminated, making it difficult to mobilize and use. Unless the anti-venom serum is injected in advance, it is difficult to deal with.

Now all three of them have lost their combat effectiveness, and the situation is extremely dangerous. The nearest support is several kilometers away and it will take several minutes to arrive.

The giant lizard's huge body was extremely agile in the forest. It turned its head and bit two members in one bite, then lifted up the remaining member and bit it in its mouth. According to its judgment, these prey had such strong resistance and their magic colors were so bright, so they should be very tonic after being eaten.

Just as it was enduring the two burnt wounds on its body and preparing to return to the nest, a faint blue light appeared on two of its members, and the original petrification stiffness effect was dispelled. Then the thigh wound of another member healed quickly and stopped bleeding.

The two men who had regained their mobility turned over, took out a spare knife and stabbed it directly into the upper jaw of the monitor lizard, which was very close to the brain.

The sharpness and danger at such close range forced the monitor lizard to quickly spit out the three people, and then opened its eyes angrily again, trying to continue petrifying the three people.

But this time, as a whisper sounded in the ears of the three people, a faint blue light covered their bodies, helping them to offset the petrification curse.

After landing on the ground, the three men no longer fought but ran and dodged everywhere, trying to delay time while avoiding the attacks of the monitor lizard.

So, about three minutes later, a team of five people arrived. They drew their lightsabers one after another, attacked together, and shuttled back and forth in the woods.

Soon, the monitor lizard fell down slowly with wounds all over its body, and its huge body crushed several trees nearby.

The crisis of this team was resolved, and Shui Yanqing's attention then turned to another fighting team. Soon this team also received similar protection and easily defeated their opponent.

And such scenes continued to happen until it got dark.

……

On the other side, on the tall white cliff peak, a girl in a silver cloak and hood slowly climbed the steps and came to the platform on the top of the mountain.

"This is it, Lady Orlais." The members around her, who were dressed in white cloaks and formal gowns, put their hands on her shoulders and bowed respectfully.

"According to the puzzle pieces we obtained from multiple strongholds, as long as we control this mountain, we can awaken the 'White Crystal Dragon' in the valley and make it obey our orders."

"I see."

The girl took off her hood, her silver hair flying in the cold wind. She knelt on half her knees, placed one hand on the branding circle on the ground, and then chanted the spell prayer she had figured out from the puzzle.

'Lord of the Brilliant Crystal, the Land of the White Cliffs.'

'Holy Mountain No. 3, Cold Wind and Bitter Moon.' The light on the magic circle spread, and then quickly spread to the entire mountain. With a series of crackling sounds, a terrifying outline rose in the valley that was originally shrouded in white mist below the mountain.

"Roar--"

A fierce cold wind suddenly blew away the mist, and a giant white dragon over 60 meters high slowly rose up. Its body was made up of pieces of white crystals, which refracted bursts of light in the sun. Then the dragon's wings flapped, raising an air current and flew straight into the sky.

White Crystal Dragon [Dragon Sequence 7 (Standard Rainbow Level)]: A fantasy creature that advanced through special means. Its body is made of brilliant white crystals. It is immune to most energy shooting attacks and ignores toxin corrosion. It uses cold breath and brilliant crystal spells as its means of attack. It has an extremely long lifespan and its collection value is greater than its combat value.

Not long after, the giant dragon swooped down from the sky, swept over the mountain top, and leaped into the sky with the silver-haired singer, bringing with it refreshing laughter.

……

In the valley shrouded in darkness, there is a small stronghold with a bonfire burning in the open space in the center.

A girl with a nice figure and long white hair was sitting by the fire, muttering about what had happened today. Then she took off her socks and put them aside to dry her wet toes.

Beside her, several members of the guard patrol wanted to laugh at the scene, but held it back.

"Lady Odney, do these socks need to be washed?" A boy who thought he was well-mannered bent down and asked the girl.

"Ah... let's not do that." Odney grabbed the white stockings she had taken off and threw them into the fire, letting them gradually ignite and burn to ashes.

Only then did she react.

"Don't do this every time, thinking I'm easy to talk to and making such perverted requests." Odney put down her toes and stepped on the clean stone floor, wanting to teach this member a lesson.

"Yes, Lady Odney." He first bowed his head to admit his mistake, then raised his head and explained his behavior righteously.

"I think this is a yearning for beauty, and there is nothing despicable about it. In our hearts, Lady Oddni is the embodiment of beauty. Every inch of her body is so flawless and perfect."

"That's enough. If you keep saying that, I'll sue you for harassment. You don't want to be kicked out of the star cluster, do you?" Odney pulled out her trump card.

"Yes, Lady Odney, I was wrong." He surrendered decisively, then took a step back and returned to his post.

After drying the wet parts of her body, Odney regained a lot of energy and asked the members beside her.

"Haven't they finished checking the bottom of the water? Logically, the giant water crocodile we just defeated must be guarding something."

An hour ago, Odney and her entourage had defeated a large crocodile in the river with great difficulty. According to the rules of confrontation exercises, there should be a stronghold or treasure guarded by the crocodile nearby.

"Please wait a moment, Lady Odney. This river is very wide, and the crocodiles have a large range of activities. Their base may be upstream or downstream, so it will take some time."

The girl with short black hair in a bun answered. She was holding a sword with one hand and was wearing a white uniform with a cloak, and there was a faint phoenix pattern on the white cloak.

According to seniority, this girl with short black hair should be Audrey's niece, but in terms of actual age, the two are not much different, and this girl may even be a little more mature.

"Okay, let's wait a little longer, but I'm a little hungry, Xiaojiu." She called the girl next to her by her nickname.

In response to this, the girl with short black hair in a bun smiled helplessly, and then prepared food for this young lady who was out of touch with the world.

About half an hour later, two members flew in from outside the col and landed in the open space.

"We've found the stronghold, Lady Odni." Their eyes were full of excitement. It seemed that there were a lot of supplies and treasures in this stronghold.

"Then let's set off." Odni quickly finished the grilled skewers on the plate and followed the members who came to report.

……

While each team is making progress and expanding rapidly, our black angel Miss Tilan is now traveling deep underground.

There was a faint sound of flowing water beside her ears. The flow of water in this underground river was not small. Listening to the sound reminded Tilan of her previous life in Arpeggio City. Whenever it rained, she could hear the sound of water flowing in the pipes in the residential area.

Coming back to her senses, she turned her gaze forward again and moved forward along the underground river.

Unlike other singers, she was acting alone at the moment, without any other members around her, only a few animal companions.

Because she was alone, she was actually more flexible in her movements, and could even pass through some narrow underground river caves. If she encountered danger, she could easily avoid it without having to worry too much.

Although she cannot use her combat abilities easily, it does not mean that she has no ability to protect herself when in danger. If we really talk about personal combat effectiveness, I am afraid that even the entire team combined may not be able to defeat her alone.

In fact, this is also a tactic. When the enemy doesn't know where you are, they can't specifically defeat you. After all, the rules say that the singer can only be defeated when other cluster members get in close contact with her, and she is in this underground place, and no one may find her. As for the members of her own cluster, she can also contact them through the communication props she carries with her.

Just think of it as an adventure. It would be better if we could find a new base or treasure underground, but if we don't, the secrecy brought by single-player action can also give us an intelligence advantage in subsequent confrontations.

Even if other singers knew this method, it would be difficult for them to imitate it. After all, not every singer has such strong individual strength as Tilan, and is not afraid of dangerous situations that may arise at any time. They also rely more on the various supports brought by the star cluster.

When Tilan was thinking about whether to stop here tonight and find a place to sleep first, she felt a faint strange wave coming from the depths of the dark river.

"Well, it looks like I have to sleep late tonight." After thinking for a while, she raised her palm, and a burst of light blue sand fell into the water and spread into the distance.

Then, a blue-scaled young dragon gradually appeared beside her, jumped into the water, and swam quickly towards the point in the distance where it had discovered something unusual.

Just as Pulin discovered the means not mentioned in the rules, Tilan also discovered that if the singer used these extraordinary animal companions, it would not be considered as her own action, and she could easily avoid the restrictions of the rules.

After all, nurturing these companions is a reflection of the Songstress's abilities.

A few minutes later, a gurgling sound of bubbles emerged from the depths of the underground river, and then a body covered in mud slowly rose up. It had a pair of huge claws about ten meters wide. When it was raised high, it directly crushed the rock pillars of the cave.

When this guy actually stood up, it was like a huge shadow slowly engulfing the petite figure below.
