I've been transported into a Western fantasy game, and my dad wants me to marry my sister.

Chapter 39 The Dungeon from the Abyss

Amber's sobbing sound still trembled slightly in the air, like a kitten soaked by the rain.

Fangya took a deep breath, placed one hand on his chest, and bowed deeply to Lynn.

This wasn't an apology on behalf of Amber, but rather a formal courtesy from the Nightshade Tribe.

He straightened up, his cat-like vertical pupils replaced by a deeper seriousness: "To be honest, besides paying homage to the Prophet, we have come here with important matters to report to the Silver Dew Guardian... and to you."

He turned his gaze to Sheena beside him, nodded slightly in greeting, and then looked back at Lynn.

"About five days ago, our patrol team discovered a structure... that 'grew' out of the ground, located on the edge of the Sleeping Rift, about two hundred kilometers southwest of Nightshade Forest."

The word caused a slight stir among the surrounding elves.

"Growth?"

"Detailed description."

Sheena frowned and asked.

"It's like the building was forcibly torn open by the earth and grew out of it." Fangya's voice deepened.

Then he continued to recall: "The building material was dark gray, neither stone nor gold, and the surface had faint pulsating purplish-black veins that looked like blood vessels."

"This building, which grows outwards, is like a decoration."

"The entrance is a downward spiral staircase."

"After walking several hundred steps, the view suddenly opened up."

"It's a large hall, and an even more complex network of passageways."

He paused, then unconsciously flattened his cat ears.

"We encountered a monster in the lobby on the first floor—a wriggling creature of erratic form, like a jumble of mud, shadows, and broken bone fragments."

"After our warriors killed it, the monster left behind an unstable dark purple crystal."

"But something even stranger happened."

Fangya's tail unconsciously tensed up.

"In just three hours, when we returned to investigate, the same monster... had actually reformed on the same spot! As if it had never been killed!"

"Rebirth?" Sheena's voice carried the coldness characteristic of a forest ranger captain.

"This goes against the laws of nature and is almost impossible. This is indeed an anomaly that needs to be investigated in depth."

Fangya continued, "Our priests tried to purify that land, but discovered that the pollution originated deep underground, and conventional rituals were of little use."

"The clan elders have decided that this matter is beyond the Nightshadow Clan's ability to handle alone."

"Therefore, I was sent here to earnestly request that Silver Dew Settlement, as the guardian of the Sky Dome Ancient Tree Area, dispatch elite forest rangers to investigate."

All eyes were on Sheena, but she turned to look at Lynn.

It wasn't just her.

The other elves, and even Lydia and Vera, who had just stepped back from Lynn's side, all subconsciously looked at the confident and reassuring black-haired youth.

Lynn stood there, the relaxed expression on his face long gone, replaced by a deep, solemn look that seemed to pierce through time.

He closed his eyes, and after a moment he slowly opened them, as if countless fragmented images were flowing through his eyes.

His face was grave, and his voice was deep as he slowly spoke, "They've finally arrived."

Lynn's expression was solemn, his eyes filled with compassion, as if he held the fate of all living beings in his heart.

This scene suggests that something big is about to happen.

This caused many people to subconsciously swallow.

"Nature has already enlightened me," Lynn said.

Everyone eagerly awaited it.

"It's a type of architecture called an underground city, which comes from the abyss."

His voice wasn't loud, but it was clear enough to reach everyone's ears.

"abyss?"

The word carried a natural chill, causing some of the young elves to shiver.

"The abyss?" Sheena repeated.

She seemed to have seen similar words in the ancient books of the elves.

"Yes."

"abyss."

"A dimension without order, teeming with countless monsters, and rife with endless conflict."

Lynn raised his hand, and the moisture and light in the air naturally gathered above his palm, forming a vivid three-dimensional image.

The healthy, verdant earth's cross-section reveals countless architectural veins beneath, spreading like roots, eventually forming a tower-like structure with layers that are inserted upside down into the earth's core.

The image was so realistic that Fangya couldn't help but take a half step back, and Amber also raised her head from her arms, her wet, amber-colored cat eyes wide open.

"These dungeons are the anchor points and incubators of the abyss's power."

"They will constantly pour in energy from the abyss, polluting the land and producing monsters."

"And those dark purple magic stones are abyssal magic crystals."

The image was magnified, focusing on those dark purple crystals that appeared to have foul liquid flowing inside.

"These magic stones contain powerful yet extremely tainted and chaotic energy."

Lynn's voice was serious.

"For the vast majority of native creatures, directly contacting or attempting to absorb this energy is tantamount to drinking poison to quench their thirst."

"It will cause pollution, corrupt the mind, and twist flesh."

The elves present looked surprised, while the warriors of Fangfang and Nightshade tribes looked worried.

"but."

"Opportunities and crises coexist."

"If it can be completely purified with pure natural magic, divine power, or other high-order energy, removing the chaos and pollution and leaving only the purest energy essence... then the Abyss Magic Stone will become an unprecedentedly precious resource."

"And if the dungeon can be continuously purified, the abyssal monsters inside will also become a sustainable resource."

amount.

This is the Abyss Magic Stone.

It's the experience points you get from defeating monsters in your previous life.

When players kill abyssal monsters in dungeons, a portion of their experience will be directly converted and absorbed.

NPCs, on the other hand, drop Abyss Magic Stones.

This slumbering rift dungeon is already among the strongest of all dungeons.

In the early stages, the dungeon is weak.

The NPCs didn't take them seriously at all; instead, wars broke out constantly over these dungeons.

An underground city.

This not only means countless resources, but also attracts countless players to grind monsters and level up.

But now...

Don't listen to the prophet's lies.

whee.

Lynn stepped forward, his eyes piercing.

He looked at Fengya, at Xina, and at everyone who was listening intently.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is not a coincidence, this is the prelude to disaster."

"In the future, dungeons from the abyss will continue to appear, producing increasingly powerful monsters and polluting ever wider areas of the land."

"We need to unite all forces to nip the disaster in the bud."

His voice echoed at the village entrance, carrying an undeniable weight:

"This is a war."

"It is a war that we all must face, whether we are elves, orcs, humans, or other intelligent races in the forest."

"This is a war of life and death."

"Nature has inspired me to save the world, and I will do anything for it."

Even if—

"Give your life!"

Everyone felt a sense of urgency and responsibility during Lynn's speech.

But Lydia's platinum gray eyes remained fixed on Lynn.

The slight jealousy and grievance that had just arisen had long been replaced by a more overwhelming feeling.

"no--!!"

Leah clung tightly to Lynn's waist with astonishing force, as if trying to embed herself into his body.

She looked up, her platinum-gray eyes already brimming with tears, but not in a pitiful way, but in a kind of almost broken panic and stubbornness.

"How could my brother give up his life? Absolutely not!"

Leah seemed to have completely forgotten the elves and orcs around her, forgotten all manners and restraint, and just gripped Lynn's clothes with all her might, her knuckles turning slightly white.

"My brother said he would stay with Leah forever."

"Brother, don't be a prophet anymore, and don't try to save the world."

"Let others save the world."

"Brother, you can just stay with Leah, okay?"

The girl's tears.

Unexpectedly, the front of Lynn's clothes was soaked.
