Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva

The moon in the sky, the golden chalice in the water, the fragmented glimmers, softly recounting those sentimental and reminiscent past events.

After a long while, when the melody was finished, the girl put down the flute in her hand, raised her head again, and looked toward the giant crab in the river in the distance.

She walked over slowly, her toes touching the water surface, stepping along the claw step by step onto the towering body of the giant crab, finally coming to a stop at the top.

The wet mudstone beneath her feet shifted for a moment, and then a black orb, larger than the girl, emerged.

This should be its eye, though it was unknown if it could see, Tilan gently pressed her hand on the stone shell beside the orb, closed her eyes to sense.

Her thoughts and perceptions slowly approached the giant crab beneath her, as if diving into deep water, touching a faintly glowing enormous light sphere, at the moment of contact, an unfamiliar and slightly cool consciousness was touched by Tilan, and waves of strange feelings were transmitted.

Among them were emotions of curiosity, tension, confusion, and others. As the girl communicated with it, it quickly became happy, like a life that had lived alone for many years, meeting a companion it could communicate with.

How come, this guy feels just like a child. As Tilan deepened her communication with the giant crab beneath her, she gradually found this guy's mind to be simply adorable.

Afterwards, Tilan opened her eyes, leapt lightly off the back shell, and was then caught by the crab's claws, like a tray, allowing her to stand on it.

To a rock crab that was 40-50 meters tall, this girl seemed like a harmless little animal, as it held Tilan, turned its body, and swam toward the depths of the Dark River.

There... home... delicious... comfortable... together...

Blurred ideas were transmitted from the giant crab's consciousness. Although it couldn't speak, as an extraordinary creature, it could barely express its thoughts.

Thus, Tilan held onto the stone of the claw, and was taken to the bottom of the Dark River by this rock crab.

First, there was a rush of water flooding overhead, then passing through the complex underwater caves. To see the surroundings clearly, Tilan raised several glowing spheres to illuminate the environment around her.

Additionally, she was wrapped in a bubble, protecting her body from being soaked by the river water.

In this way, being carried by the rock crab, they wandered through the water for about half an hour, and Tilan finally saw a place shimmering brightly.

Like an underwater valley, after turning around, in front of her were various clusters emitting white light, these clusters adorned the riverbed, extraordinarily serene and beautiful.

[Converging Quartz Crystal Clusters]: A crystal mineral that gathers converging quartz, this crystal mineral possesses transcendent properties, capable of converging and distorting light, commonly used as interference equipment or shields on mechas, able to absorb large amounts of energy rays and convert them into reserve energy.

"Did you grow up eating these minerals?" Tilan curiously transmitted this question in consciousness.

After receiving a positive answer, Tilan slowly descended with the bubble, lightly pressing her hand on one of the half-human-height clusters. As a subtle glow flashed through the base of the cluster, six-sided crystal columns fell into the girl's hand, somewhat heavy, emitting fluctuating radiance.

Natural transcendent clusters, containing sedimented magic power inside. When Tilan interacted her internal magic power with it, the cluster began to emanate a faint brilliance, becoming much brighter, but the surrounding clusters dimmed considerably.

Probably absorbing and twisting the light in the surrounding space, making the environment slightly dimmer, the girl slowly sensed the changes within.

This type of cluster seems quite expensive, unexpectedly found here.

Afterwards, the girl circled around this underwater crystal cluster mine point, without finding any other traces of artificial chiseling.

It seems she guessed wrong, this giant crab was probably not placed here by the contest organizers, but instead a creature that originally grew in the underground Dark River.

Indeed, who would have thought that during the competition, someone would deliberately dive this deep underground, traversing the pitch-black complex Dark River with no clues.

Although not finding the stronghold was a bit disappointing, she felt a subtle excitement about inadvertently discovering a treasure that even the contest organizers hadn't found.

That being so, the girl released the cluster in her hand, let it fall while opening her fingers loosely.

The clusters originally attached and growing on the rock walls in the water trembled slightly, then one by one fell, converging toward the center crystal cluster.

They spliced together, forming a large crystal cluster, after which ripples continually spread, colorless fragments fell one after another, the giant crystal cluster continually purified, with its special transcendent properties becoming more refined and powerful.

Finally, a three-meter diameter crystal cluster floated quietly in the water, emitting rainbow-colored glimmers.

"I'll give this to you. Absorbing it is much better than eating minerals." Tilan conveyed her words through the connection of consciousness.

The purified cluster not only absorbed faster, but its contained transcendent properties were stronger, beneficial for the giant crab's Talent Ability.

The black eyeball turned slightly, the giant crab stared at the purified cluster emitting halos in the air, swallowed it in one gulp, then transmitted feelings of joy and happiness.

This guy is really easy to understand, Tilan stroked its claw, afterwards the giant crab carrying the girl floated up toward the top of the Dark River.

Half an hour later, returning to the cave where the girl met, the giant crab set down the small friend from its claw, expressing joyous and friendly thoughts, then dove back into the water, slowly disappearing.

Even though she didn't find the desired stronghold, Tilan was in a particularly good mood.
