King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 840 Scared to Cry
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Countless roots broke through the soil and crawled out of the ground. They were like tentacles, wrapping around the large pot in front of them.

Beneath the ground, dragon-like roots stirred up the soil, causing the earth to shake uncontrollably.

"Boom!"

After a loud noise, the ground in front of them collapsed, and the large pots wrapped in pale golden roots also fell into the dark underground.

It was unknown how deep the huge hole in the ground was. The dazzling golden tree suddenly had a shadow, and the dark area was the sinkhole.

This sudden scene stunned the onlookers. Where were all the pots and people just now? Gone?
"Uh... don't look at me like that." In the silence, countless eyes focused on Yu Jin, making him unable to help but get goose bumps.

Villette looked at the huge sinkhole into which countless pots fell, but did not hear the sound of them breaking.

"Although I trust you, Yu Jin, please give us an explanation in this situation."

After stopping the four-sided sword attack from Fucaros, Villette took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

Yu Jin scratched his head when he heard this. He didn't want to make such a big noise. But Guishu is more than just a pot and people. There is often a huge cemetery at the foot of the golden tree.

The cemetery is connected to the roots of the golden tree to ensure a smooth return to the tree.

Under the current circumstances, it is definitely not possible to dig a temporary cemetery in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain. Moreover, the scene of returning to the tree is indeed terrifying. Considering the acceptance of the public in Teyvat, hiding the process of returning to the tree underground is the best choice.

"I'm thinking about you all. Let's put it this way. Those who are able to go down can follow me. As for those who can't go down, just stay up there, so you don't have to sleep at night!"

"A reminder: go down on your own, don't use the Wings of Wind!"

After turning around to explain to everyone, Yu Jin jumped into the huge pit.

Seeing this, the others gathered around. The pit had collapsed completely, and there was no place around to climb down. It seemed that some special skills were needed to get down.

"Hey, let's go down and take a look."

Wendy looked around and saw that the crowd was quiet, so he jumped down first. He had been watching when Yu Jin led a large group of people to the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain. How could he retreat now?

"Funina, do you want to go down?"

Villette turned her head and looked at Funina beside her. Although Fucaros was now there, there was still a lot of work to be done in handing over the position of Water God - although Funina's job as Water God was really not very good.

But no matter what, she is still the water god now, so it is reasonable for Villette to ask her.

However, the only thing that makes people a little worried is what Yu Jin said before. Why did he emphasize using his own strength?

Finina was very hesitant at first, but after seeing the scene in the deep pit, she immediately threw her hesitation behind her.

In the bottomless pit, the scarf fluttering behind Paimeng seemed to be her little wings, flapping up and down. But even so, it couldn't change her sweaty status quo.

If you ask why...it's naturally because of Ying who was holding her hands underneath her!
"Ah... Ying, when did you become so heavy!!!"

"My weight has remained stable. It's you who has gained weight. Wait... we're going to collide!"

The combination of Ying and Paimon was floating in the deep pit like balloons, which gave Funina confidence.

She had met Ying and Paimon before, so she knew a little about them.

Maybe she can’t compare to Ying, but as for Paimon...she is definitely better than this mascot!
"Go down!"

Furninna raised her hand excitedly to Violet, while Fucaros beside them had already jumped down.

"Okay." Villette agreed without hesitation. He raised his hand and followed Funina down.

There are many curious people, many people who have the ability to go down, and even more people who jump into the deep pit.

Why? Mainly because many people saw Serius holding a wind slime and floating slowly down.

"Why are you coming down? I remember you shouldn't be able to come down." Holding a torch, a face of embers poked out from the flickering firelight, successfully scaring Seleucus who had just landed.

"Ah! There's a ghost!"

"Almost. I'm about to see it for real. Don't pee your pants." Yu Jin threw a lantern on the ground, adding some light to the area nearby.

"call……"

When Serius saw that it was the embers, he breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard his words, he patted his chest confidently.

"Wet your pants? I killed two giant dragons..."

"And he saved the world a few times, right?"

"That's right." Serius nodded calmly. "So how did you get down without using the Wings of Wind?"

"Isn't it normal for an adventurer to carry a wind slime with him?" Seleus took out the dormant wind slime, applied essential oil on it, and the round slime floated into the sky.

"unwise."

"Not only that, if I'm not mistaken, there should be others flying down with bottled wind seeds."

The Villettes and their companions walked out from the darkness, and their lights in the darkness were extremely conspicuous.

"So what's that dark thing in here?" Wendy poked her head out and chuckled.

"do you know me?"

He greeted Fucaros in a familiar manner.

"do not know."

"Oh."

Wendy shrank back in disappointment. The new gods nowadays were becoming less and less respectful to their elders. They couldn't even recognize him!
"Hiss... there are quite a lot of people coming down." Ignoring the jokes of Wendy and Fukaros, Yu Jin was worried because through the darkness, he saw many people who had landed and were running towards him.

Not only are there people like the young master's servants who were able to get down here by relying on their brute force, but there are also some little green men who used all sorts of "strange tricks" to slip down.

"Forget it, it's your own choice anyway. It's none of my business if you get scared." After thinking about it for a while, Yu Jin no longer cared about it.

Without waiting for others to gather around, he stamped his feet.

"Boom!"

This kick was like some kind of signal. Starting from his toes, the dark ground below began to glow.

Only then did the people nearby realize that what was beneath their feet was not the earth at all, but a dense network formed by countless roots.

The light emitted by the roots extended forward. At the same time, the ground they formed began to bulge, and the root veins became thicker and thicker.

The deep pit was completely illuminated, but the area directly below the golden tree was still a little dim.

The tree roots there were very thick, a single root was enough to rival the ancient trees in the Xumi Rainforest. Moreover, they did not glow, and were so dim compared to the golden roots beside them.

It can be said that these tree roots, apart from being large, have no apparent difference from other trees outside.

But it was these intertwined roots that made everyone hold their breath.

"Ta...ta...ta..."

The sound of flesh squirming echoed in the silent underground. Between the roots and veins, countless bodies were twisting and surging upwards, heading towards the dazzling trunk of the golden tree.

All the bodies closed their eyes. Some of their bodies stretched, some compressed, and some were even decomposed and absorbed by the golden tree during the ascent...

But their expressions were all peaceful without exception.

The expressions on their faces were peaceful, but those of the people in the pit were distorted.

"Woo...wow!"

Paimon's face was distorted and she whimpered at first, but under the impact of this scene, her will, which was not strong to begin with, was quickly broken.

She snuggled into Ying's arms and began to cry loudly.

"Wow!"

Soon after, Finina also started crying - she was just as bad as Paimon.

"Wow!"

"very scary!"

"I want to go back!"

……

"Hiss...I shouldn't have let you guys come down!"

Yu Jin covered his ears and said helplessly.
