Chapter 111: Kuchikami Sake (Key Item Obtained)

A meteorite once fell on this land...

It caused an indelible trauma...

In order to warn future generations, ancient people recorded this event...

——The murals in the caves depicting the breakup and fall of a comet are undoubtedly one of the manifestations of this record.

Although the cave has been squeezed and deformed due to geological changes such as earthquakes, some artificial traces can still be vaguely identified inside.

Things like rough steps, fragments of shrines, and so on.

All these can prove that this place was special before.

Maybe it is a place of worship, or a place to protect the body of a god.

Considering this, Xia Zhi conducted a thorough search and carefully checked every mural and possible clue in the cave. After making sure that there should be nothing missing, he turned around and asked the two to leave.

however--

When he took two steps, perhaps it was a flash of inspiration, or perhaps it was a whim, in short, a vague and subtle premonition emerged.

This made him stop unconsciously.

The young man turned around, pinched his chin, and glanced thoughtfully at the depths of the dim cave, then walked back. Although he should have checked everything, and the perception of magic did not find any additional findings, but... he just felt that there was something missing.

I walked around the cave again very carefully and got the same result.

It was as if there was really nothing, he was just overthinking, nothing else.

Xia Zhi pondered for a moment, and simply stopped radiating his magical perception, and no longer deliberately tried to sense magic or anything like that. Instead, he simply followed his intuitive premonition and patrolled around the cave several times.

"..."

"..."

Outside the cave, Tohka Takanashi was a little confused. Didn’t she just say that she was leaving?
Why is he wandering around in there again?

Is there anything else in there?

But she had enough patience, so she just gently touched her sister's head and waited outside without saying a word.

After turning around and around, at some point, Xia Zhi slowly stopped in front of a corner in the cave, where the shrine was located.

Half squatting, he withdrew his gaze from the shrine, stretched out his hand, and gently touched the ground in front of the shrine.

There doesn't seem to be anything unusual.

When magic power is released, so is the information that is fed back.

But of course he would not stop just like that, otherwise, he would have just left and would not have delayed here at all. So, he decisively clenched his fingers into a fist and punched the ground with his backhand!

boom!
There was a muffled sound.

The cave began to shake slightly.

"Huh?" Xia Zhi raised his eyebrows, surprised to see that the ground under his fist had not changed at all. Not to mention any signs of cracks, not even a fist mark was left.

Are you kidding me?
Taking the Servant's panel as a reference, although his strength is not very high, his basic strength should be much higher than that of ordinary people. With the increase in "Magic Power Release", it can probably be close to the B-level level.

With this punch, the armor of the main battle tank will be deeply dented...

Now there's not even a trace left on the ground?

——There is something strange indeed!!

Naturally, he would not be polite, and directly drew out the holy sword, turned the sword tip, and thrust it into the ground. At that moment, the extremely solid ground was like a red-hot iron wire cutting through solidified butter, and it sank into it easily!

Infusing magic power, it was converted into light from the tip of the sword and released—

The next moment.

It was as if two forces collided directly with each other!
This caused the ground to begin rumbling and shaking.

As the sound intensified, the ground cracked, and huge cracks spread to the cave wall like a spider web, and countless broken stones fell. Almost in an instant, the entire cave seemed to have been hit by a huge impact, and collapsed instantly, covering everything and raising large pieces of dust.

"......!!" The two people outside the cave widened their eyes and were involuntarily frightened by the terrible noise and took a few steps back, watching it all happen in horror.

Among them, Miss Shihua's face instantly became anxious. She reacted quickly, took a few steps forward, and cleared away the oncoming smoke and dust. At the same time, while walking forward, she decisively took out her mobile phone, ready to call for help immediately if something went wrong.

just.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, she just walked to the collapsed cave——

I just happened to see the figure easily push away the huge stone pressing on him and stand up from the collapsed cave. His expression was very calm, and he leisurely patted the dust and dirt on his body, seemingly not hurt at all.

"Are you...are you okay?"

After Miss Shihua calmed down a little, she walked forward and looked at him carefully to confirm whether he was really okay.

"Me? What can happen to me?" Xia Zhi waved his hand nonchalantly. His physical toughness now was comparable to that of a treasure, as if he was wearing an invisible solid armor. He was not afraid of such a trivial situation at all.

It's not even a tickle, there's no feeling at all.

"As long as it's okay..."

Miss Juhua let out a long breath: "But why did the cave suddenly collapse... Wait, what is this?"

She noticed that the young man was holding a small jar in his hand, which seemed to be the only item rescued from the collapsed cave. The jar was covered with moss, which had a bit of the smell of years of sedimentation, and she didn't know what it was used for.

"I don't know, but it's probably some key item... something very important."

Xia Zhi smiled and also lifted up the small jar to take a closer look. It was obviously this the hidden prop in the cave just now.

It was very special, without any special magic, but it had evaded my initial search and normal perception.

It was not even buried in the soil, but had been placed properly on the shrine. However, he seemed unable to see it directly, but only had a vague sense of it, and made a wrong judgment at first.

He casually wiped off the moss with his thumb and wiped the small jar clean. He observed it for a while, shook it gently, and heard the sound of liquid coming from inside. After opening the bottle, he found clear wine inside.

"Is it wine...? Wait, it can't be that local specialty chewing bar?"

Miss Shihua frowned slightly, what kind of key prop is this?

But just as she finished speaking, the next moment—

The ground began to shake again, with rumbling sounds continuing in her ears. She was a little unsteady on her feet for a moment, but luckily the young man next to her grabbed her arm, waved his hand, and pulled Rika, who was not far away, over as well.

“W-what…what happened…”

Miss Shihua was shocked and confused. She finally managed to steady herself. The moment she looked up in shock, her pupils suddenly contracted to the limit.

In her gorgeous ruby-like eyes, the outline of a huge tree sitting between the sky and the earth was faintly reflected.

Seeing it from such a close distance, it is simply a majestic trunk like the wall of the world. Its seemingly endless presence fills the entire world within sight, stretching to the ends of the sky on both sides.

——I don’t know how many kilometers it is thick and thin.

——The height is so high that it reaches the sky, blocking the sun’s rays.

"This, this is..."

The scene was so magnificent and shocking that it was unbelievable. Miss Shihua could hardly speak. She held her breath and could not come back to her senses for a long time.

It was not until a long while later that she finally reacted. She shook her head subconsciously and looked carefully again.

I found that the giant tree had disappeared, and the entire world was empty, with only the sky dotted with sunlight and clouds. The scene just now seemed like an unreal dream, without any trace left.

Is it an illusion?

No! That's not right! That's definitely not an illusion!
At this point, even Miss Touka's worldview had already gone through the necessary process of being shattered and reorganized. Faced with things that were too surreal, she was inclined to believe in their existence at the first opportunity.

"Did you see anything?"

Xia Zhi tilted his head and watched the whole process of Touka Takanashi being so shocked that she was speechless, and asked decisively.

The "reality" of both parties is different——

There are some things that maybe only she can see more intuitively.
