A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 2070: Chapter 607: Dragon Breath Land

…

Pop! Pop! Pop!

Intermittently, scorching dark blue fire pillars erupted from the ominous pit.

At the bottom of the pit, a giant mechanical device could be vaguely seen, connected to a series of energy pipelines.

Matthew stood at the entrance, casually observing, and quickly understood that this flame-spouting device was somewhat similar to Storluk’s spaceship launch apparatus.

Its continuity was not strong.

But the energy released with each ignition was incredibly terrifying.

“Those space undead sure know how to take shortcuts…”

He shook his head.

Saying so, one could only imagine the immense pain the fairy queens endured here.

What exactly they wanted from her was still unknown.

Lost in thought.

Matthew casually opened a portal, and in the next instant, he “jumped” into the pit.

After a few more portals.

Three silhouettes appeared in the deeper part of the pit, below the ignition device.

The space here was extremely narrow and damp, with droplets hanging from the stone walls on both sides.

Yet, the device above kept spewing flames, generating equally intense heat, which made the droplets on the walls scalding hot.

The air was so hot it was visibly steaming.

The Great Fairies Coco immediately couldn’t stand it and cried out loudly.

Lulu glared at her.

Eventually, she cast a Shelter Spell on her.

Matthew explored the area.

Soon, he found an extremely concealed elevator below a darkroom.

The platform and passage where the elevator was located were crafted from a very special material, which could not only block Insight but also had a thick Anti-Magic coating.

Ordinary spellcasters would feel their mana solidify when they got slightly closer.

Fortunately, Legendary-mages had some resistance to this kind of Anti-Magic device.

At present.

The three started the elevator, descending all the way down.

Finally.

When the rudimentary electronic screen displayed they had reached the bottom level.

What appeared before them was an immensely vast underground space.

Matthew’s eyes lit up.

This was already about four to five hundred meters underground, yet the space was large enough to accommodate a medium dungeon.

Storluk’s people had constructed quite a number of buildings here.

But the most striking feature was a thick and slow river running through the center of these constructions.

Indeed.

In Matthew’s Insight.

This river was the most unusual existence.

Typical rivers are joyful, lively, or magnificent, majestic…

But this river was different.

In terms of perception, it felt like a mountain to Matthew, and its appearance was very distinct as well.

“Such a viscous sensation… It seems to be infused with some kind of Transcendent energy.”

“But it’s neither Ether nor air, psionic power, or any known energy…”

Matthew walked to the riverbank, focusing intently on the river water.

“Wow, look, this river changes colors!”

Coco exclaimed.

Lulu glared at her again and whispered:

“Keep it down!”

Coco asked, puzzled:

“Why should I keep it down?”

Lulu replied logically:

“This is an unknown place. There might be hidden monsters. You’re always making such a fuss. What if you draw them out?”

Coco was even more puzzled:

“But haven’t you already become legendary?”

Lulu frowned and said:

“Even if I have become legendary, what if the monster is legendary too?”

Coco waved her hand:

“There’s still Matthew!”

“He’s even more powerful than legendary!”

“Besides, if you were cautious before becoming legendary, and remain so after becoming legendary, then what’s the point of your hard work to become legendary?”

Lulu was speechless immediately.

Coco showed a triumphant smile.

She wanted to say more but found herself speechless too.

Coco looked at Lulu helplessly.

Lulu’s lips curled slightly:

“That’s the meaning of being legendary.”

Meanwhile, Matthew completely ignored the playful interaction between the two fairies, one big and one small.

He focused on sensing the river’s anomalies.

Indeed, as Coco said.

This river’s color was changeable.

Matthew discovered that in its normal state, the river was transparent, indistinguishable from an ordinary river.

But occasionally, it would turn into four other colors, namely: azure, orange, black, and mercury.

“After perceiving for so long, the data column still couldn’t provide any information. It seems this river’s origin is beyond my Knowledge, or the related information has been deliberately blocked by large measures…”

“But in terms of temperament, it indeed resembles the Kunwu Ruins.”

Matthew furrowed his brow.

The only thing he could confirm was that, besides the transparent color, the river water in the other four colors had varying degrees of extreme toxicity.

Recklessly entering the river without understanding it could pose a mortal risk even to legendary creatures!

But inexplicably, Matthew felt a yearning—

He wanted to jump into the river and drink it deeply!

For all the internal stirrings, Matthew had long been accustomed to them.

Similarly.

He had developed a process for identifying these stirrings—by using negative energy to block potential sources of the stirrings one by one to see if the call persisted.

Following this methodical exploration.

He quickly pinpointed the source of the stirrings.

“Sure enough…”

“It’s the Heavenly Dragon Blood!”

“It’s yearning to come into contact with the river water!”

Matthew paused in thought.

He walked to the riverbank, stretching out a finger to dip into the now mercury-colored river surface.

In the next instant.

A sense of exhilaration welled up.

And the entire river suddenly boiled vigorously!

A surge of abundant power flowed into Matthew’s body through his finger.
