Chapter 76 Discovery
"This is... the Astral Plane?"
Subconsciously, Victor thought he had traveled to Mars again.
Because everything in sight was invariably crimson red, with large patches of red exposed on the cracked ground, and no green could be seen in sight.
But when you look up at the sky, the view is completely different.
A dazzling, dreamlike light scatters across the sky, countless stars radiate light, and streaks of light streak across the sky, making it impossible to tell whether they are shooting stars or creatures living in the celestial realm.
It seems completely unrelated to the place where Viktor is now standing.
Olivia's voice came from behind Victor: "Don't be surprised, I already told you beforehand, this is a damaged astral plane."
"Therefore, it's normal for there to be some differences compared to the actual astral plane."
""
"I never expected this place to be so desolate."
Victor turned to look at Olivia and found her standing not far behind him. However, compared to his somewhat disheveled appearance, she was clearly unaffected by the teleportation.
Seeing him looking at her, Olivia nodded: "I've confirmed that there's no danger here, so my mission is over. I hope there will be another chance to meet you, Victor."
"Oh, by the way, here's one last piece of advice. I just explored this astral plane and found that there seems to be some activity underground... If you don't know where to go, you can look for the entrance to the underground."
"Good luck."
After saying that, Olivia smiled slightly before Victor could ask any questions, and her body was instantly enveloped in dazzling blue magic.
The next second, he vanished before Victor's eyes.
"6
""
"So you're just checking if I'm in danger of landing?"
Victor was speechless, but then put Olivia out of his mind.
He then focused on the situation he was facing: "The environment here is indeed very harsh... The magic in the air is also particularly violent. There is not a trace of green to be seen. Although the arc below the horizon can be seen with the naked eye, indicating that the area of this astral plane is smaller than expected, it will not be an easy task to explore it completely."
"And Olivia reminded me that there's some activity beneath this land... Could it be that some underground creatures still exist in this astral plane?"
Viktor glanced around, only to have sand and dust sting his face. "Hmm... whatever," he said, "I'll find a sheltered spot first, then consider my next move."
"Otherwise, if we're constantly exposed to the sandstorms, it wouldn't be good if something unexpected happened."
Actually, it's been a long time since Victor has acted alone.
As a loyal knight, Garr had been by his side almost since he was a child, and now that he was alone here, he was actually a little uncomfortable.
It was mostly a bunch of miscellaneous tasks. Without Gal doing them, Victor found himself rather flustered when he tried to handle them on his own... But fortunately, he wasn't the pampered type. With a little thought, he managed to set up a simple camp.
After setting up the tent, he began to explore the surrounding area from the center of this temporary camp.
But while it can't be said that this day was completely fruitless, it could also be said that it yielded nothing.
Aside from discovering that the wind was really strong and there was a lot of dust in the area, Victor made no other discoveries.
Clearly, there were no useful clues at the location where he was now, so early the next morning, after eating and drinking his fill, Viktor packed up the camp and chose a direction to continue his journey.
Let's see if we can find anything other than sand and stones.
As a result, Viktor underestimated the difficulty of exploring the astral plane... Contrary to the numerous dangers he initially imagined, the most difficult part of exploring the astral plane was probably finding the target.
For the next week, Viktor found almost nothing, repeating the same cycle of searching and finding nothing every day.
On the first day of the week, Viktor finally discovered claw-like marks on the rock that looked exactly like it had been carved from a mold... Clearly, this was a sign of biological activity.
Viktor perked up and quickly followed the tracks on the stones to find his way.
After traveling for almost a day, he finally reaped the rewards. Following the marks on the stones, he arrived at an extremely spacious underground entrance.
In reality, if Viktor hadn't followed the marks on the stones, he would have had a hard time finding this place. After all, the entrance was too flat, and even the color of the underground entrance was crimson. If you didn't get close, you wouldn't be able to tell that this was an underground cave entrance.
Fortunately, he finally had a target, and Victor didn't want to waste any time, so he went straight into the cave.
The entrance to the underground was much deeper than Victor had imagined... or rather, the underground of this astral plane was much deeper than he had imagined.
It took Viktor almost a whole day to walk through the entrance passage alone before he finally emerged... Then he finally discovered green vegetation and some strange, glowing objects in this astral plane.
Curious, he leaned closer to take a look and discovered that these glowing objects were actually plants. However, these plants contained subtle magical power, which was why they could emit light. Although the light was not strong, there were many of them, and together they could illuminate most of the surrounding objects.
In addition, there are also some small insects that live among these plants.
However, Viktor had no intention of studying these insects. He simply replaced the items in his inventory, swapping the Silver Key for a Purifying Potion and an Echoing Mirror. This way, he wouldn't be caught off guard by some trickery and end up unable to fight back.
As he continued to explore his surroundings, he found that due to the limited field of vision, he could not observe as far as he could on the surface, where he could not even see the horizon directly. Therefore, he needed to slow down and search and observe at the same time.
Fortunately, there is indeed a lot of life beneath this astral plane.
Victor hadn't even gone far when he spotted a not-so-unfamiliar figure lurking furtively in a clump of dark bushes.
"Goblin?"
Victor looked over in surprise.
Then, after taking a closer look, he dismissed his own assessment: "No... grayish-white skin, round ears, and red eyes."
"This is an underground subspecies of goblin... a gray goblin!"
