Chapter 252 Hoshino Pear

The surrounding temperature is getting higher and higher, so that the air is distorted and heat waves billow.

Haruhiko subconsciously activated Yu Ge Ye Huo, and then he no longer felt that uncomfortable feeling.

Although the rest of them don't have Yuge Yehuo, they can use their spiritual energy to insulate themselves from the temperature.

Soon, we reached the end of the passage.

The wide opening was dimly reflected in red.

Haruhiko already had a guess in his mind. He stepped forward and saw that it was indeed magma.

Their position at this time was about ten meters away from the magma.

It just doesn't look like anything special.

Haruhiko touched his chin.

The passage was obviously dug.

If it were simply magma, there would be no need to build a road.

After all, magma is of little use to psykers.

Even if you practice fire-attribute spells, you don't need to go to the crater.

Even though the environment has some bonuses, they are very limited.

"You all check it out."

Haruhiko didn't find anything, but others couldn't tell.

After all, he is the weakest here.

"I'll go up there."

Utsunomiya Minami spread her wings and immediately flew into the air.

The dome is an uneven stone wall.

It's relatively high, a hundred meters.

Haruhiko remembers that the highest peak of Sanping Mountain is over a thousand meters.

They are inside at this time, and it is relatively normal to exceed a hundred meters.

Utsunomiya Mina and others jumped down and floated on the magma. Then, they divided into two groups and headed towards the two ends.

The only ones left at the entrance were Haruhiko, Hoshino Hotaru and Jinguji Fuyu.

Compared to Utsunomiya Mina and others, Haruhiko naturally trusts fifth-level psychics more.

He subconsciously looked at the white fox at his feet, but found that she had closed her eyes.

Obviously not sleeping, but casting a perception spell.

Seeing this, Haruhiko stopped disturbing him.

He raised his head and met Hoshino Hotaru's eyes.

"There's something underneath the magma."

Her lips moved silently.

Haruhiko showed a surprised expression.

It's not that he doesn't believe Hoshino Hotaru, but they are both in the fourth level, and Utsunomiya Mina and others are unaware of it.

Should I be said to be worthy of being the heir of Izumo Shrine?

"what?"

Haruhiko looked at the magma below, but still couldn't see anything.

"It's a spiritual tool."

Hoshino Hotaru tilted her head and replied, "The Kagura bell of Izumo Shrine."

"...?"

This time Haruhiko was surprised and confused.

Kagura bell is not the name of a certain spiritual instrument, but of a type of spiritual instrument.

All witch professions will use it.

In other words, every shrine will have a Kagura bell.

But Hotaru Hoshino was talking about the Kagura bell of Izumo Shrine.

This means that this is a unique Kagura bell that outsiders can imitate.

It shows that the shrine maiden of Izumo Shrine once came here and left the Kagura bell.

What's underneath?
Haruhiko thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know the situation?"

Hotaru Hoshino is the heir to Izumo Shrine.

Logically speaking, there should be some understanding.

"I do not know."

Hoshino Hotaru shook her head and said, "The only thing I don't know about at Izumo Shrine is the previous palace ministers."

Haruhiko understood immediately.

It may be the handiwork of a certain palace minister.

Maybe she even participated in the construction of this ruins.

"But I know how to drive this Kagura bell."

Hoshino Hotaru paused and said, "Follow me."

She jumped onto the lava and floated in the air.

Haruhiko and Jinguji Fuyu looked at each other, jumped down and stood next to her.

Although Hoshino Hotaru was speaking lip-reading, Jinguji Fuyuu roughly understood the situation based on the conversation between the two.

And she did notice the existence of that spiritual tool.

The palace minister of Izumo Shrine was very smart and used the magma and the rich spiritual energy in the air to cover up the fluctuations of the spiritual tools.

So much so that Utsunomiya Mina and others did not notice it.

Hoshino Hotaru noticed it because he was the heir to Izumo Shrine and was familiar with his family's spiritual tools.

Jinguji Fuyu is purely because of his excessive strength.

Hoshino Hotaru raised her hand.

Spiritual energy pours out.

The magma underfoot rolled around, and soon a crystal-like barrier was revealed.

This is obviously the function of that spiritual tool.

Haruhiko raised an eyebrow.

It looks like it is covering something, or blocking something.

For a moment, he hesitated.

He feared the worst.

"What does this barrier do?"

Haruhiko asked, remembering that there was a professional next to him.

Hoshino Hotaru did not answer immediately.

She slowly descended and stood on the barrier.

There was nothing unusual about the barrier, as if it was indeed made of solid crystal.

Hoshino Hotaru knelt down, stretched out his hand, and placed it on it.

She closed her eyes and psychic energy poured out.

A faint red mist enveloped her.

Jinguji Toyu's eyes suddenly condensed.

She actually felt a hint of familiarity.

Obviously she and Hoshino Hotaru have never crossed paths.

But where does this familiarity come from?

"I can't open this barrier."

Hoshino Hotaru stood up, looked at Haruhiko, and moved her lips silently, "We need a fifth-level psyker."

"Fifth level?"

Haruhiko glanced at Miyadera Fuyu subconsciously and asked, "Can any fifth-level psyker do it?"

"No."

Hoshino Hotaru shook his head and said, "It must be a fifth-level psyker from Izumo Shrine."

Haruhiko understood the meaning of her words.

To be more precise, it is a fifth-level psyker who can cast the special spell of Yun Shrine.

In today's Japan, only Aoi Hoshino meets the requirements.

"Do you know what's under the barrier?"

Haruhiko can go to Hoshino Aoi for help, but it's best to understand clearly.

According to Hoshino Hotaru, it was the work of a certain palace minister of Izumo Shrine.

There is a high probability that Hoshino Aoi knows.

Maybe it's some kind of taboo.

If he comes to ask, he will offend Hoshino Aoi.

"There is a passage."

Hoshino Hotaru paused and said, "But the depth is bottomless, and I don't know where it leads."

Haruhiko secretly thought that it was really not that simple.

If there was some treasure down there, he would understand.

But the unusual situation of the channel often means there are huge problems.

Even if he could open the barrier, Haruhiko would hesitate and hesitate.

After all, this is the ruins of the Great Lord God.

What if there is some evil god or monster at the end of the passage?
The best way now is to give up temporarily, go to Izumo Shrine, communicate with Hoshino Aoi, and find out what this thing is.

"Return to the original."

Haruhiko recovered and said.

Hoshino Hotaru nodded, removed the psychic energy, and the magma covered it again.

"Minami."

Haruhiko raised his head and shouted again.

Utsunomiya Minami fell rapidly in the air.

The hem of the kimono was flying upwards due to the wind.

She showed off the scenery without any cover-up.

If it weren't for Hoshino Hotaru's presence, she would have preferred to be the hood directly.

"Go and ask them to come back."

Two words flashed in Haruhiko's mind, black.

But he quickly looked away.

Because Hoshino Hotaru held his hand.

When two people stand together, they can naturally see the same thing.

Haruhiko subconsciously looked at her.

Hoshino Hotaru moved her lips.His heart suddenly jumped in anticipation.

As expected of Hotaru Hoshino.

She is obviously very serious, but in other aspects, she is not inferior to Utsunomiya Minami.

Not long after, Utsunomiya Mina and others returned.

"Did you find anything?"

Haruhiko asked casually.

Although I knew there would be no useful information, no one could tell for sure.

"No."

Utsunomiya Mina shook her head, sighed helplessly, and said, "We have reached the end of the magma, but we haven't found it yet."

It seems that the existence of magma here is to cover up the barrier.

Haruhiko said without further explanation: "Let's go another way."

It's not too late to tell them what's under the magma.

Utsunomiya Mina and others just thought that he didn't notice it, so they moved to another place.

The group of people returned the same way, reached the fork in the road, and walked towards the passage on the right.

Compared with before, it seems quite cool here.

And it goes along the spiritual veins. The deeper you go, the stronger the spiritual energy becomes.

After walking for a few minutes, Utsunomiya Mina stopped.

"This is a spiritual mine!"

Her voice was trembling, and her excitement was palpable.

Haruhiko couldn't help but be stunned.

Spiritual veins are the result of highly condensed spiritual energy.

But the spiritual mines are above the spiritual veins. They are mineral veins formed by the spiritual veins due to special circumstances.

In addition to having the function of spiritual veins, it can also mine spiritual stones.

Spirit stones are a general term for spiritual materials. They are often used to forge spiritual tools or set up magic circles.

If it is a spiritual mine, it means that the Utsunomiya clan is about to usher in great wealth.

The spiritual vein is a whole, and even if part of it is forcibly dug out, it will pass over time.

Spiritual stone does not, it is permanently solid.

It is for sale, and the price is high.

It is understandable that Utsunomiya Mina is so excited.

The original Utsunomiya clan and Yagyu clan had never mastered the spiritual mine.

The number of spiritual mines can be said to be very few.

At this moment, Haruhiko felt movement at his feet.

He lowered his head and saw Jinguji Fuyu rubbing his head against his trousers.

With her character, she would never act like a coquettish person.

This indicates danger.

"Be careful, everyone."

Haruhiko reminded, "Spiritual mines are rarer than spiritual veins and have wider uses."

Utsunomiya Mina suppressed the excitement in her heart.

If there was a spiritual mine, given her time, she would be sure to use it to kill the fifth-level psyker.

And there is a spiritual mine deep in this ruins, which is undoubtedly a huge danger.

But no matter what, it is impossible to retreat.

Utsunomiya Mina took a deep breath and continued walking forward.

The ground was very clean at first, but as you went deeper, various gravels or ores appeared.

Spirit mine does not mean only spirit stone, it often has many associated mines.

Some associated mines are precious, but some are just waste rocks.

There have been traces of mining here, which is normal.

Spirit mines are not mined and can only be used as spiritual veins.

But something unusual soon occurred.

Because there was a sound in the distance.

Haruhiko and others looked at each other.

Could it be said that someone got there first?
Or is this ruin originally inhabited by people?
The reason why I presume it is a person is because it is the sound of mining.

The tool, similar to a pickaxe, hit the spiritual mine again and again.

"Could it be someone from the Snake Spirit?"

Utsunomiya Mina thought for a while and guessed, "They may have found another entrance."

"There is a certain probability."

Haruhiko wasn't sure, but at this point, he could only go and take a look.

The group of people immediately used spells to hide their whereabouts as much as possible before continuing forward.

The passage has been turned into a mine.

There are traces of excavation on the stone walls on both sides, and the number of broken minerals on the ground has also increased significantly.

Haruhiko had a bad feeling.

Judging from this situation, it is definitely not a snake spirit.

Because this is not a result that can be achieved in a short time.

It's more like someone has been digging here for a long time.

While he was thinking, Utsunomiya Mina stopped.

She raised her index finger to signal everyone to be quiet.

Haruhiko looked at Jinguji Fuyu again.

She seemed quite calm.

Haruhiko, who was a little worried at first, felt relieved.

As long as this person is there, there is room for maneuver in everything.

"Is that...a miko?"

Utsunomiya Mina whispered.

But she still couldn't hide her surprise.

Haruhiko looked in the direction she pointed, which should be the end of the mine.

It is as wide as an underground hall.

There are various traces on the wall and half of the spiritual stone is exposed.

But the expected miners did not appear, but instead a group of witches appeared.

There are 37 people in total.

They are scattered everywhere, working hard to mine ore.

"She is the shrine maiden of Izumo Shrine."

Utsunomiya Minami also whispered, "Look, there is the logo of Izumo Shrine on the miko uniform."

Haruhiko glanced at it, and it was indeed the case.

He had seen it before in Hotaru Hoshino's miko uniform.

It is a special cloud.

Haruhiko turned to look at Hoshino Hotaru.

She was expressionless as always, but there was doubt in her eyes.

Obviously, she didn't understand why a group of shrine maidens from Izumo Shrine appeared here.

"They are dead."

Jinguji Fuyu suddenly spoke and said calmly, "I smelled a faint smell. This is not a human being, but a spiritual body."

As a white fox, she spoke abruptly, which surprised Utsunomiya Mina and others.

But I was quickly drawn to what she had to say.

"Spiritual body?"

Utsunomiya Mina was stunned for a moment, then she put her fingers in front of her eyes and said, "It is indeed an earthbound spirit."

"After death, did he become an earthbound spirit and be trapped here, or was he mining? What happened during his lifetime?"

Haruhiko couldn't help but asked in a deep voice.

"Maybe you can ask them."

Jinguji Fuyu spoke again and said, "Under normal circumstances, Earthbound spirits can maintain their memories and sanity during their lifetimes."

"Let's ask."

Haruhiko held Hoshino Hotaru's hand and said.

Too many people can easily cause alarm.

And Hoshino Hotaru is the heir of Izumo Shrine.

Having her is enough.

As for safety, Haruhiko is not worried.

He has many ways to save his life.

And Jinguji Fuyu is also there.

With her strength, she can naturally save people from such a short distance.

Hoshino Hotaru nodded.

She and Haruhiko walked forward side by side.

Because he did not cover his tracks, he was quickly discovered by the witches.

The sound of mining suddenly stopped.

They all turned their heads and looked at the two of them.

At this moment, Haruhiko and Hoshino Hotaru were stunned.

Because there is a very familiar face among them.

Hoshino Aoi.

It's almost identical.

But Haruhiko soon realized something was wrong.

The appearance is the same, but the temperament is different.

All along, Hoshino Aoi gave him the feeling of being cold and keeping strangers away.

But the one in front of me was completely different.

His face is kind, his eyes are as warm as water, and he looks very stable.

It's not Hoshino Aoi, and she looks similar to her. It's undoubtedly her twin sister, Hoshino Ri.

But didn't she die in the first restricted area?Why are you here?
