Konoha: This Sasuke has Tivat

Chapter 166 The black mud has the same origin as the Princess of the Abyss?

After the dragon lizard fell, the flowing black mud that originally covered its body dissipated strangely and gathered together like a living creature.

"Ugh...it smells so bad."

Paimon suddenly held his nose.

Um?What a stinky smell?
Sasuke sniffed.

It seemed that there was only the unique underground smell in the mine, but there was no smell.

Seeing Sasuke's confused look, Paimon was also stunned for a moment.

"Eh? Sasuke, didn't you smell it?"

Paimon flew to Sasuke's side, pointed at the black mud that looked like a living thing, and said:
"That's it. The smell comes from over there."

"Hmph... Anyway, I think it's better not to get close to those dark things. They are very dangerous at first sight."

But looking at Paimon's disgusted look from the bottom of his heart, Sasuke was thoughtful.

and many more……

The more Sasuke looked at this black mud, the more familiar it seemed.

He formed a seal with his hands, and a shadow clone appeared next to him.

After the shadow clone stepped on the black mud, the black mud seemed to have found some prey. It climbed up desperately and spread up along the soles of the shadow clone's feet, as if it wanted to devour it.

Then the shadow clone turned into smoke with a bang.

Sasuke closed his eyes and felt the feedback from the shadow clone.

Sure enough, this feeling is very familiar.

When fighting the Abyss Princess, the black mud thrown by the opponent was very similar to the black mud the shadow clone stepped on just now.

Sasuke wasn't sure if it was the same substance, but it was clear that there would be no good consequences for getting caught in it.

The huge dragon lizard just now seemed to be swallowed and controlled by this black mud.

Sasuke looked around and found that there was a lot of black mud like this, and it seemed to be in every dark corner.

There is a scab-like thing in the center of these black muds. It seems that this scab is maintaining the surrounding black mud.

After a period of observation and exploration, Sasuke discovered that there was no black mud on the rock wall or in the corners near the glowing stones.

Is there any connection between this?

Sasuke once again separated several shadow clones, dug out a few stones that exuded a faint light, and then asked the shadow clones to bring the stones to the edge of the scab.

As he expected, after the shadow clone approached with the stone, the black mud immediately dissipated as if melted by the faint light.

The two have an obvious restraint relationship.

Is it a coincidence?

Sasuke thought this was a clue, so he put some of the luminous stones into the folding belt, and then continued to search for some such stones in the surrounding area, intending to use the rock elemental power chakra to fuse them together and turn them into a larger one. Stones, but found that the elemental power chakra seemed to have lost its effect on these stones at this moment.

The power given by Zhongli has failed?
Sasuke frowned.

This place is getting weirder and weirder.

The elemental chakra lost its effect, so Sasuke could only use a clumsy method, fixing the stones together with ropes, making them physically larger, and then move on.

His intuition told him that these luminous stones would be of great use to him on this journey of exploration.

Sasuke continued to explore deeper. Except for the dragon lizard wrapped in black mud and the Zhiqiong he saw at the beginning, he didn't see any living things during this time.

Paimon obviously talked more along the way. He kept chatting with Sasuke about the happy things in his previous journey, as if he wanted to dispel the uneasiness in his heart through chatting.

After traveling a certain distance, Sasuke came to a place similar to a rest stop. After checking the surroundings, he found a basket of luminous stones collected previously on a shelf.

Next to this frame of stones are several scraps of paper with writing on them.

Sasuke carefully used his shadow clone to pick up the paper and read the contents recorded on it.

"...As soon as you get close to the black lava, your thinking will be disordered, your five senses will be sensitive, and your mood will be irritable. But being near these crystal stones will relieve you a lot..." "...My ears are still itchy, and I heard someone calling me, she said deep down There is water, there are mushrooms..."

"...Oh my god, maybe I'm going crazy."

Although this note is a fragment, it does not seem to be particularly far away from the present time. At least the handwriting is relatively clear.

Are there any living people besides Zhiqiong under this rocky abyss?

"Itchy ears...water...mushrooms..."

Paimon read the words on the paper once, and his whole body began to tremble again, pressing against Sasuke.

"Sasuke... something is very wrong... Why do I feel like this is a plot I saw in Liyue's mysterious novel..."

"There won't be anything weird under this rocky abyss, right?"

Sasuke looked at the trembling Paimon and patted the other person's back gently.

"Well, yes."

"Wow!"

Paimon let out a strange cry.

Then I heard Sasuke continue:
"But it shouldn't be the things in those little storybooks you think of. If it's just those things, Lingzhi, Zhongli and Wendy will definitely be able to solve it themselves."

"There's no need for us to explore, right?"

Paimon nodded after hearing this.

"Well... what you said makes sense, but why does it feel like it's getting more and more dangerous?"

"Well, it's indeed dangerous, but it's not that dangerous."

Sasuke said.

"Lingzhi and Wendy's conjectures are correct. These are related to the abyss."

"The black mud just now is somewhat similar to the black mud used by the Abyss Princess we met in Fengqi Land. I think we are about to find the truth."

"We are not fighting something completely incomprehensible. At that time, with the protection of Wendy's power, I was able to fight them to a draw. If it were them, now I am confident that I can at least escape unscathed."

Paimon was slightly relieved when he heard Sasuke say this.

"Did they do it?"

"Then when I think about it, it doesn't really seem that scary."

"I always feel like I'm fighting something indescribable. I'm worried that a bunch of tentacles will come out of the corner and drag us in together. When we come out, we'll be covered in eyeballs, tentacles, etc..."

"Yeah!"

"Sasuke, why are you poking me?"

Sasuke withdrew his hand that poked Paimon's forehead.

"You should read less weird novels. If you have the time, why not learn more knowledge with Zhongli."

"Well...if you can't learn, you can't learn no matter how hard you try, right?"

"Sasuke, when did you become that annoying adult who likes to force people to learn?"

"..."

I have to say that in this depressing underground world, having Paimon by his side does make people feel a lot more relaxed.

Taking out fresh water food from the folding bag as a supply, after taking a short rest, Sasuke and Paimon continued to move deeper.

All the way down, the position entered becomes deeper and deeper.

At this time, Sasuke discovered the fire diagonally below.

Um?anyone?
