My teacher is a deity.

Chapter 23 Re-entering Midoriya

After realizing the abnormality of the Green Valley Underground City, Vishi became much more cautious this time.

Every kilometer or two, I had to use a vision-clearing talisman and take a detoxifying pill.

There's no way around it, there are just too many illusion arrays here. It's not a normal dungeon at all; it's more like a mage tower for some mages.

After a long while, Vishi, smelling the strange scent of blood in the air, returned to the huge pit.

Yesterday's explosion has annihilated the flesh and blood, leaving only a pool of blood and bones.

Following the route he remembered, Vichy descended rapidly and soon arrived back at the place he had been in the day before.

But this time she didn't rush to pull out those rare materials; instead, she stopped to observe her surroundings.

Wandering black mist and evil spirits swirled around the corpses, and the strange smell of blood still lingered in the air, converging deeper into the pit.

Vichy cautiously walked forward, and soon, that strange tumor reappeared in her sight.

Furthermore, this time the sarcomas were more numerous and larger than the last time.

If they were real, they would cling to the corpse of the deceased, breathing as if nurturing new life.

But Vichy just felt a little nauseous.

She felt not only the call of blood ties in these fruits, but also an unspeakable sense of sin.

Despite the discomfort, Vichy moved quickly along the root system.

Soon, she descended to an even greater depth.

If we judge by the scope of the dungeon, then after she crossed the sea of ​​flesh tumors, she had already entered the middle level of the Green Valley.

Among the thousands of roots, the dark red blood vessels gradually become clear and bright.

The next moment, a huge city suddenly appeared before her eyes!

It was dark and gloomy here.

Numerous tombstone-like buildings are distributed in a ring shape, and at the very center of the city, a huge bone cross stands there.

On the cross of bones, massive dragon bones were nailed firmly to it, and the flowing blood irrigated the fleshy growths, making the entire city resemble an altar.

Vichy was deeply shocked.

Although the dungeon has always been called the dungeon, no one has ever thought that a city actually exists in such a wild and desolate place!

But where is this place?

How could such a large-scale city leave no trace at all?

She took a step forward, and Shi Qing's voice immediately rang in her ears.

"Don't go in yet, find a place to hide, someone's coming."

Vichy's heart tightened, and she hurriedly found a dilapidated house to hide in. Just in case, she also poured the blood on her body to cover up the smell.

Just as Shi Qing warned.

A few minutes later, footsteps could be heard on the city streets.

Through the dim candlelight, she could see the appearance of those who had come.

They were not wearing black robes, nor did they have any distinctive features; their attire was also quite different.

There were adventurers, merchants, workers, and even a strong red-light district atmosphere; at a glance, there were nearly thirty people.

They were all different kinds of people, but the only thing they had in common was that they were all vampires.

"The bishop has disappeared?"

"They're not missing. The bishop is at odds with Ryan. Until the Blood Demon completes the 'Final Verification,' we'll have to rely on ourselves."

"What?! But there are only us in Gem City, how can we possibly fight against those lackeys?"

They have an empire, a city defense army, and their numbers are dozens of times greater than ours!

"Don't panic. The bishop has given us the authority to manipulate those failures as pawns, and we're not the only ones doing this."

The sounds were faint and rustling, which Vichy couldn't hear very clearly, and he found it quite uncomfortable.

But at that moment, one word almost made her lose her temper.

"In addition, we need to keep an eye on someone; it would be even better if we could catch him."

"Who?"

"According to the scouts, Vichy Elef also possesses divine blood and is an excellent test subject."

If the Blood Demon verification fails, then we will need to find a new recipient.

Who?

I?

Vichy immediately became tense.

She desperately wanted to shout that she wasn't, that she didn't have it, that she got it from boxing, not from some kind of divine blood.

They were even considering whether to ignite the explosive tags and blow these hanging men to death.

At this moment, these people seemed to have finished their discussion. They walked together to the central dragon bone cross, rolled up their clothes, and revealed a mark on their bodies.

It was a bloody maw made up of magical loops.

"I beseech the Shadow Veil, the Blood of the Source."

"Honoring the eternal tree, the myriad benevolent fathers."

"Grant us life without end, age without decay, and death without rebirth."

The prayer was very strange; Vichy had never heard such an eerie prayer before, but it had a strange rhythm and seemed to be chanting something.

What puzzled her even more was who that divine name was referring to.

The Curtain of Shadows, the Blood of the Source—she knew this was Lilith's title.

But who is the eternal tree, the one with countless loving fathers?

Before Vichy could think further, Shi Qing's voice rang out.

"Guard your mind and shut out your five senses!"

Vixi was always very obedient. The moment Shi Qing gave her a hint, she quickly lowered her head and dared not peek any further.

At that moment, the faint smell of blood in the air suddenly became much stronger.

Countless fleshy growths around him shattered, pouring onto the monster's corpse, and in a short time, it was restored to its former appearance.

Even more miraculously, the resurrected monsters did not attack them; instead, they obediently bowed down before them.

"Each of you take some with you. You will secretly manipulate them to kill those lackeys and greedy maggots, and collect more blood."

"What about the Blood Demon? The henchmen of the Law have been searching for him."

"Without the bishop, we can't control him right now, but we need to guide him into the dungeon so he can grow quickly."

"Leave one more person to guard the night capital, to prevent any accidents."

After a woman who appeared to be in charge finished distributing the tasks, everyone dispersed, and the city returned to peace.

Only then did Vichy dare to open his eyes again.

"teacher?"

Vishi tried calling out a few times, only to find that he had been too nervous and had even turned off the communication talisman.

She tried to relight the talisman, but for some reason, it flickered and couldn't be reconnected.

Who were the people who activated the magic array and blocked the outside world?

Vichy pondered, then looked at the eerie cross once more.

For an instant.

She felt a burning sensation within her body, and her magical circuits were reverberating uncontrollably.

"What happened?"

Vishi hurriedly activated the Blood Python Fist, and the blood and bones within his body immediately took effect, with the powerful blood energy suppressing the out-of-control magic circuit.

At that moment, the believer at the end of the procession suddenly raised his head, turned around, and looked at the huge cross.

"What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing. I forgot to pick up some things. You can go ahead."

"Alright, let's not waste any more time."

"Don't worry, it won't be a delay. I'll be back soon."
