Konoha: This Sasuke has Tivat

Chapter 169 Zhiqiong’s ambition is endless

With the information provided by the fools, this underground trip finally has a goal.

It's just that the underground of this rocky abyss is intricately intertwined, and the scenery of various caves seems to be the same. And as Sasuke goes deeper, the underground space becomes wider and wider, as if he can't see the bottom.

Even if he has Tevarin mode and can fly, there is no reference point and there are stone pillars everywhere in the ground, so flying does not have much advantage.

On the contrary, if you fly too fast, you will easily hit the stone wall.

"Sasuke, have we been here before? It feels like we have gone around in a circle and we are back again?"

After walking back and forth in this dark mine for the first time, Paimon sat on Sasuke's shoulder and asked a little discouraged.

"It feels like I've encountered the legendary ghost wall in Liyue. No matter how hard I wander around, I'm still in the same place..."

Sasuke could only temporarily stop exploring.

Although Tewarin's elemental chakra supported him in flying without any big problem, in this dark cave, the feeling of finding the route only by the light of the flashlight was too depressing.

There are many forks here, and each fork leads to a dead end. Sometimes it leads to another fork. After reaching the end, you may return to the starting point, like a huge maze.

There are monsters hiding in the black mud deep in the maze. When they get close, they will launch a sneak attack silently.

It's no wonder that the ninth company of the Fools was so badly damaged before. This was completely using human lives to find the way.

It's a pity that there is no map in their logbook.

After eating a little, Sasuke began to think about a solution.

He had tried using his shadow clone to explore the way before.

My current amount of elemental chakra can indeed release enough shadow clones to explore the path, but the huge amount of information returned and the negative feedback brought back by this underground exploration are really fatal.

He used more than a dozen shadow clones to try to find the way before, and the information returned made him dizzy for a while.

And even though he had compiled the information brought back by the shadow clone, he could not draw a complete picture of the underground mine because he did not study map drawing. The information brought back by the shadow clone could only vaguely remember the directions of some forks. , you will still get lost in the subsequent progress.

It would be great if Naruto were here. He could separate a large number of shadow clones at every fork in the road to explore every corner, and then choose a route that can go deep and explore layer by layer.

Now, he can only take a stupid approach and use the shadow clone to mark the initial position after exploring each fork in the road. If there is no particularly urgent information, it will not be sent back to reduce the side effects caused by the shadow clone.

After using this method, Sasuke's advancement was finally able to continue slowly.

After spending most of the day, one of Sasuke's shadow clones suddenly sent back a message.

The news that came back also stunned Sasuke.

His shadow clone found a huge luminous stone at another fork in the road, and squatting on a platform not far from the stone was a woman wearing a green Adventurers Association uniform.

Zhiqiong.

Why is she there?

Or how did she get there?
Sasuke had Tevalin's flying ability, and the shadow clone was always on the move, so he could explore here. How did this seemingly ordinary adventurer without the Eye of God do it?
Sasuke immediately returned from the current passage and rushed to Zhiqiong's location according to the route provided by the shadow clone.

In front of her, there was a wonder. A sphere that was larger than a human and seemed to be composed of flowing stones was suspended in the center of the cave. The rocks on both sides seemed to be attracted by him, twisting and spreading towards this stone. .

The strange light emitted by the flowing light stone in the center made Sasuke feel a little uncomfortable now, as if he was seasick.

At this time, Zhiqiong had already stood up and looked directly at the wonder caused by this flowing stone, but her face looked very bad, even a little purple.

After she noticed the arrival of Sasuke and Paimon, she was happy at first, but then she coughed violently.

"Cough...cough...Senior Qiuqiu killer...I saw you just now, but it was far away, and you passed by...cough...I thought I was hallucinating...cough"

"Great, it's really you... cough... I'm not unconscious yet."

Paimon looked at Zhiqiong who kept coughing, his face full of worry. "Ah... Zhiqiong, are you okay?"

"I see you have a bad cough."

Zhiqiong showed off a drawing as if she didn't care about her body at all.

The drawing is a half-completed painting, but it can be vaguely seen that it seems to be the prototype of a map.

"I'm fine, senior, look, I did it!"

"Senior Alice is right. What I have learned so far has finally been put to use in the Strata Abyss...ahem..."

"I can definitely draw a map that will be praised by all subsequent adventurers. There should be no one yet who, ahem...draws an underground map as detailed as mine."

Perhaps because of her excitement, she coughed harder and even had a tendency to fall backwards.

Sasuke stepped forward to support him.

"You are in a very bad state now. Go back to the ground first."

"This stone should be radioactive and make people feel very uncomfortable. If you continue to stay here, you will die."

Zhiqiong struggled a little, but found that he couldn't break free from Sasuke's hand.

"It's okay, senior. Thank you for your concern. It's okay with me."

"It's not like I haven't endured altitude sickness and seasickness before, it's just that it's a little more intense now. It's no problem."

As she spoke, she pointed to the huge flowing stone and said:
"That's it. According to the information I learned before, after the miners discovered this thing, the Lumen Stone, oh, that's it."

Zhiqiong pointed at the blue-glow stone that Sasuke had been carrying.

"These lumen stones began to grow wantonly in the giant abyss of rock."

"The geological structure of the stratified abyss has been changing at an accelerated rate recently due to this."

"Senior, you should have noticed when you came here that the dirty black matter covering the rocks has only recently grown rapidly and in large areas."

"Now I can be sure that there must be some connection between them! This is the key to solving the mystery here! Senior!"

"And I, as an adventurer, witnessed all of this happening, and you should be happy for me."

She spoke excitedly, and her purple cheeks also turned an unhealthy flush due to her excitement. Now her face was purple and red, which was very scary.

Sasuke nodded, then looked at Shiqiong with his Sharingan eyes.

Zhiqiong, who was still excited at first, tilted his head and collapsed forward after looking at Sasuke.

It worked. It seems that the illusion of the Sharingan is also useful to the humans of Teyvat.

Seeing Zhiqiong suddenly fall into Sasuke's arms, Paimon was startled and quickly flew closer to check.

"Eh? Sasuke, what happened to her? It can't be..."

"No, I just hypnotized you."

Sasuke carried Shiqiong on his shoulders and re-deployed the Tevarin Wings.

"She is in a very bad condition right now. If she continues to stay down there, something will really happen. We have enough clues now. Let's go back to the surface first and leave her to Wendy to take care of her."

Paimon nodded again and again.
