The dungeon has been parasitized

Chapter 131 Excavation

"I'm full..."

Hyacinth tilted her head back in the chair, patting her belly, which was already quite round from eating.

"How is it? Delicious, right?"

"I never expected it to taste this good, Yanami, you must be a genius..."

"No, I just followed the recipe."

"But the ingredients are different, right? If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to think of any other ingredients to substitute, and I would definitely make a dish dedicated to the devil."

"Well, after all, hyacinths are quite careless."

"Daisy, you seem very meticulous, but are you actually more careless than me sometimes?"

"No, no, I didn't."

Yanami looked at the two bickering people with a smile, and suddenly thought of something.

("Klein, how are you?")

("It's delicious, and I also think you're a genius.")

Yanami, of course, wouldn't forget Klein, and specially served him a bowl to taste as well.

"Speaking of which... didn't Yanami say she tamed a dragon? Why haven't I seen it? I was hoping to see what a dragon looks like."

"Well... you won't be able to see that yet."

Yanami spoke ambiguously because she didn't know if they could see the dragon, and besides, the dragon was probably still covered in blood and gore, making it really difficult to show.

"Okay, then."

Hyacinth didn't press the matter further and easily accepted Yanami's explanation.

"However, you will see the Pteranodons soon, as they are behind the cave I asked you to stay in."

"Ah, I'd like to see these too. Are they as obedient as the Shadow Wolves?"

"Yes, they're even more well-behaved than puppies."

"Little, little dog..."

When Daisy heard the word "puppy," she couldn't help but smile gently.

"Then I'll look forward to it. Flying monsters are really rare. We need to start digging the tunnel as soon as possible. We've had our fill of food and water now."

Hyacinth stood up from her seat and rolled up her sleeves with great enthusiasm.

"Daisy, it's time to get to work."

"I...I understand."

"Thank you for your help."

The three of them walked over to the Rockbreakers. The Rockbreakers had already rested. After arriving at the plantation, Daisy had fed them a lot of food, and they were now full of energy.

Daisy led the two rock-breaking rats together, while Hyacinth ran to the carriage and took down their digging tools, such as pickaxes and shovels.

"By the way, are you guys going to dig it yourselves? Weren't you supposed to use Rock Smash Rats to dig the tunnel?"

"Not really. While it's true that most of the time the rock-crushing rats are used, these guys are monsters after all, and the holes they dig are quite rough."

"Isn't roughness acceptable?"

"Of course not, the holes they dug are round, it'll be hard for us to pass through. Even if we can flatten them a bit, it's still too rough. Our job is to repair the tunnels."

"Oh, I see."

Hyacinth hoisted the pickaxe onto her shoulder.

"So, where should we start digging?"

"This way, come with me."

Yanami led the hyacinths and daisies towards the pool. The pool was attached to the rock wall, and the passage leading to the lake was underneath, so if they wanted to dig, they would have to dig straight down the edge of the pool.

Klein had taken a look around last night and found that the ground on the other side of the lake was actually a bit higher than the plantation, so they would have to dig up at an angle.

"here."

Following Klein's instructions, Yanami arrived at the edge of the pool and pointed to the black rock wall there.

"Just dig straight ahead here, but you might have to dig a little upwards."

"Hmm... let me see."

Hyacinth reached the wall, touched it with her hand, then raised the pickaxe and slammed it down on the rock face.

clang!

Sparks flew everywhere, and pieces of rock, along with black powder, flew about. Hyacinth picked up a piece of rock from the ground and nodded seriously.

"This hardness..."

She began to think seriously, while rubbing the broken rocks between her fingers.

"How is it?"

"Great! It's perfect for digging holes; the rocks here don't collapse easily."

"That's good."

Yanami breathed a sigh of relief.

"Daisy, it's your turn now."

"it is good."

Daisy, carrying her wand, went to the spot where Hyacinth had knocked down the rock, gripped the wand tightly, and began to chant.

"O earth, tell me, what do you possess, what are you made of, tell me everything before you, whether it be rock or soil, gems or coal..."

Daisy sang very earnestly, without making any mistakes.

Yanami was so engrossed in watching that she noticed that Daisy, who usually stuttered, didn't stutter at all when she was chanting magic.

"Her singing was very fluent."

Yanami whispered to Hyacinth beside her.

"Hmph, yes, this guy's chanting is not only fast, but he doesn't stutter at all."

Actually, before, because she stuttered, everyone thought she wasn't suitable to be a magician. So, to prove herself, she practiced chanting relentlessly, practiced so hard… and in the end, with that stuttering mouth, she really did become a magician.

Hyacinth's expression was gentle, with slightly drooping eyelids and a raised corner of her mouth, conveying a sense of relief and emotion.

"Although this girl seems unreliable most of the time, I really admire her, after all, I've been watching her work hard."

She's a hard-working person. Klein doesn't dislike hard-working people at all, just like he really likes Yanami.

"You really like her."

Hyacinth paused for a moment, then lowered her head shyly, but still nodded.

"Yes, she is my best friend."

hum...

At this moment, Daisy finished her chant, and her wand emitted an earthy yellow light. Then, she pointed her wand at the rock wall, and the earthy yellow glow disappeared into the rock wall.

From the point where the light disappeared, circles of yellowish-brown light appeared on the rock wall, like waves rippling and gradually pushing it deeper.

"Shh..."

Hyacinth held up an index finger to Yanami and gently shushed her.

Yanami understood what she meant and nodded with a smile.

Daisy closed her eyes and pressed her wand against the rock wall. Circles of earthy yellow light rippled and disappeared into the rock.

About ten minutes later, Daisy opened her eyes, and the rings of yellow light disappeared at the same time. Daisy turned her head, and Hyacinth asked the question first.

"How is it?"

"Yes, you can dig. The rock behind is all the same."

Hyacinth nodded and then moved on to the next question.

"Where is it located?"

"Three hundred meters away, ten meters higher than here, there is a relatively large cave, and it connects to a super large cavern."

As she spoke, Daisy looked at Yanami.

"Should we dig all the way up there?"

Yes, that's it.

Yanami nodded in agreement.

"Can we dig in a straight line? Are there any obstacles?"

"You can dig straight, but there's still a rather hard rock."

"How's the size?"

"Compared to, it's much larger, and difficult to avoid."

"Then we'll just have to blow it up."

When the word "explode" was mentioned, Hyacinth showed an eager expression.
