Hogwarts Crawler.

"Just my guess... We are under the soil now, but there is still soil under us, right?"

Adam's eyes lit up when he heard Feng Pai's words.

That’s right! The first underground floor is underground, but what about the second underground floor?

We cannot ignore the possibility that there is more space below just because it is already deep enough here and we haven’t found a way to go further down!

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed, and Adam couldn't help but want to try it now.

"Don't rush it, Adam."

Feng gently placed his hands on Adam's shoulders, stopping him from taking out the land card:

"You are already very tired, take a rest first."

"……Okay, I know."

Feng was right. With his current magic power, he couldn't explore very far downwards even if he summoned the land card.

Let’s take a rest first…

"Adam, how did today turn out?"

Seeing Adam appear in the dormitory, Eugene, who had been waiting, hurried forward and then noticed that Adam's face looked a little strange:

"What's wrong with your face—"

"I'm fine. I'm just a little tired. I'm almost there."

Adam stopped Cologne from continuing and looked at his brothers who looked at him after hearing Cologne's words. His expression was flawless:

"I found some clues today. I'll go check it out tomorrow."

Eugene opened his mouth:

"Actually...if you can't find it, forget it."

"Um?!"

Not only Adam, but the other three couldn't help but look at Eugene.

"It's just... I, I haven't met them... so... I don't miss them that much."

Eugene hooked his fingers together and lowered his head and said:

"I have been prepared for a long time. They will die in some ruins at any time. Now... that day has finally arrived."

"...Let me look for it again."

Adam patted him on the shoulder.

"Now, I went to the ruins not only because of your parents. I found a kind of hairtail fish that was hundreds of meters long... Although the taste is average, there is great potential for development as a food storage."

"……Um."

Looking at Eugene who still had his head down, Adam sighed.

This child didn’t react when he heard a cutlassfish that was hundreds of meters long, and he still said he didn’t miss his parents?

Chapter 140 Finally found it!

In the ruins of the Hanging Gardens, Adam and the Earth stood side by side.

While sensing the underground, Di closed his eyes and the posture of his hands was very similar to that on the Clow Cards.

"How's it going?"

Seeing Di open his eyes, Adam asked quickly.

“There’s really a lot of space underground.”

"……many?"

"Yes."

He stretched out his finger and pointed at Adam's forehead:

"Close your eyes."

Adam closed his eyes as he was told, and then he felt the magic power begin to fade away again, and at the same time he suddenly "saw" something...

"Look down and you can see what's going on underground."

Hearing what Di Pai said, Adam quickly lowered his head, and was shocked by his new perspective: it was a perspective similar to an ultra-wide-angle and perspective, which made Adam unable to get used to it for a while.

After taking some time to get used to this perspective, Adam looked underground again - there were indeed a lot of spaces, and each space was connected to the floor where Adam and his companions were standing through various passages. Perhaps some special method was needed to open the secret passage.

Adam focused his attention on the area between the mountains not far away and the large lake in the distance. He didn't find any trees, but his vision did not cover all the areas between the mountains and the lake.

Look back!

It took a long walk to get here, but it was much easier to go back. The moving cards flashed all the way, and Adam relied on the vision provided by the ground cards to take X-rays of the underground all the way. Finally, his hard work paid off.

"found it!"

Adam finally found a tree, right underground. It was a very vast space, the top of which was hundreds of meters underground. The entrance to the passage leading there was in a barren area next to the big lake, which was also an area infested with poisonous insects.

By the way, the big lake did not disappoint Adam. Through the perspective provided by the land card, Adam could see that the bottom of the lake was completely a trapezoidal cylinder, and the bottom could not be seen until the end of the sight.

Putting the matter of the big lake aside for the moment, Adam did not look for the entrance. He just relied on the magic of drawing cards and the infinite magic power of the philosopher's stone to travel all the way.

On the left side of the mountain, on the right side of the water, above the tree, under the soil...could it be this tree?

With anticipation, Adam finally arrived inside that space.

Unlike the pitch black above, where only some fluorescent cattails can provide some light, the space where the tree is located has a natural light source and is very bright.

Everywhere you look is covered with glowing crystals, even the "tree" itself -

Countless twisted, golden-colored tree roots spread across the ground of the entire space. In the center of the space was the main body of the golden giant tree. The top of the trunk, in the center of the nine main branches, was the main light source of the space. A glowing sphere illuminated the underground space as if it were daytime, but a dark shadow enveloped the bottom of the sphere. The branches spreading out from the nine main branches were covered with crystal leaves and flowers, reflecting dazzling fire under the illumination of this light source.

The vision provided by the ground card has no color but only shape. After entering the space, everything in front of Adam was like a dream, which shocked him to the point of being almost speechless.

Before Adam could come to his senses, the natives of the underground space extended a "warm" welcome to Adam, the unexpected visitor.

The sound of crystal exploding was heard not far in front of him. A crystal suddenly exploded in front of him and exploded into a pool of liquid. Adam then noticed that he was attacked. The colorful light refracted from all directions greatly interfered with Adam's vision, so that he didn't even know when the attack occurred and where it came from.

But it doesn't matter...

The Rod of Darkness struck forward lightly, creating a ripple in the air. All the chaotic light was distorted in the area where the ripple passed. Adam looked around and saw that the attacker had nowhere to hide after being filtered.

It was a kind of insect with a body divided into three sections, somewhat similar to a bee, probably smaller than an adult's palm. The main part of its body looked exactly the same as the crystals that could be seen everywhere in the space. Its method of attack was to directly launch the abdominal body at the bottom... No wonder there was liquid in that crystal.

Adam grabbed one with his hand and saw at close range how the other party launched the attack. He couldn't help but observe the remaining parts for a while. He found that the remaining head and chest of the insect were constantly oozing liquid from the broken ends, and then lost vital signs after a few seconds.

Yes, very strong.

Throwing the dead bug aside, Adam flew towards the giant golden tree. On the way, he obviously aroused great hostility from the bugs - this thing was almost everywhere in this space, and it was very strange that they could still locate Adam even though he had clearly used a phantom card to conceal his figure.

Adam faced the attacks of the insects and came to the center of the crown of the giant golden tree, next to the glowing sphere.

"Above the tree, below the soil... Sure enough, it's here."

Just now, Adam saw a strange black shadow under the light source. It turned out that the ball was not directly grown or stuck on the golden tree, but was supported by a circle of large crystals. At this time, there were four people in the crystals around them, trapped in the crystals like insects in amber, blocking part of the light emitted by the ball.

The faces of two of them were about 70% similar to the photos Eugene provided, except that they looked a little older.

Finally found!

"So, this is what the mirror, illusion, and shadow are referring to? The two cards mean the two of them together?"

In the clustered crystals, the figures of four people were constantly refracted. At first glance, it looked like a mirror maze. Eugene's parents were sealed in the same piece of crystal, holding hands. There was an inexplicable sour smell around the crystal.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Adam heaved a sigh of relief but couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He had originally thought it would be more thrilling, like having a magical ability to clone people... No, it was magical props or something, and like the real and fake Monkey King -

I am real! I am real!

...Forget it, it's better to keep it simple. After all, they are Eugene's parents. It will be like the Wonderful Book of Heaven, with a bunch of fathers, oh, and mothers, fighting for a son.

Even Eugene, whose parents were absent for more than ten years, might not be able to withstand this lethal amount of parental love.

Adam walked to the crystal, reached out and touched it, curious about how these people got in. Then he felt a suction coming from the crystal. Fortunately, Adam was protected by a shield.

Okay, now he knew how they got in.

There was no doubt that this was a trap. Adam withdrew his hand and looked at the four people again, feeling a little hesitant.

There is still one card left in the divination results that has not been interpreted. That card means that Eugene's parents are in a coma and there is no target next. Or does it mean something else...

To be on the safe side, Adam planned to rescue one of the other two people first. The other two people were a middle-aged man and a young woman. Adam rescued the middle-aged man first.

The crystal was cut open with the sword raised in his hand. What concerned Adam was that only the outermost layer of the crystal was solid, and the inside was full of liquid—the same liquid that flowed out of the broken ends of the crystal bugs. Now that he thought about it, the crystal that attacked him also splashed out this liquid after it exploded...

Fortunately, the man did not turn into water. Adam checked and found that he still had vital signs. After calling him several times without any response, Adam decided to take some special measures.

Chapter 141: A Sword with Outstanding Effect

"Snapped--"

“Uh—?!”

The man woke up in pain. After opening his eyes, he felt that his vision seemed to be affected to some extent.

Why is there only a crack left in the world I see?

And...my eyes hurt so much...

"you're awake?"

The man looked over with some difficulty, and saw a kind-looking old man sitting in front of him. The other person's pure white clothes were reflected by the crystals around him... Crystals?

crystal!!!

That's right! They should have been caught by those strange crystal worms in the underground ruins, and then... and then...

"Ahh! You! What are you!"

The man looked terrified, thinking the other person was a native of the place.

Her snow-white outfit matched strangely with the dazzling crystals around her, and even her skin was very white, making her look like she lived in a place without sunlight.

"Calm down, child, I am a scholar, you may call me Gandalf..."

"……scholar?"

"Yes, I found this place and discovered that you were trapped inside the crystal... Can you tell me what you encountered?"

"us……"

As if he had thought of something extremely terrible, the man's body shook, and then he began to talk about their experiences intermittently.

From being forcibly recruited by the Ministry of Magic at the beginning, to being attacked by the Kraken when entering the ruins and the team being scattered, to them mistakenly entering the underground space and being attacked because their vision was affected, his last memory before he fell into a coma was the crystal bugs crawling towards him...

"Um……"

Adam nodded and said to the man with a smile:

"Do you feel uncomfortable now?"

"Hmm...except for feeling weak, I don't seem to be feeling unwell."

"Ok."

Adam nodded and stood up from the crystal:

"Basically the same as you said last time. Let me ask another one."

man:"???"

Letting the man fall into a baby-like sleep, Adam turned around and raised his sword, breaking the crystal that sealed the young woman.

"Snapped--"

"Well……?"

The woman opened her eyes in pain and discovered with confusion that her cheeks seemed to feel a burst of swelling pain.
