The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"Abyss..." This was the first time Ying had seen the Abyss Mage's death so clearly and completely.

The scene before her eyes filled her with fear of the abyss, and... a little curiosity.

"Let's ask Dain and the senior!" Ying muttered to herself, then looked up and waved to Ember and Dain on the high cliff.

Actually, there were only embers above; Dain disappeared somewhere when Ying jumped down.

Seeing Ying waving from below, Yu Jin leaped down from the height.

He won't die from a fall now.

"Bang!" Another cloud of dust rose, and soon, Ember emerged from the smoke.

Seeing that only Ember was there, Ying felt puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "Where's Dain?"

"it's here."

Dain's ability to appear and disappear unpredictably is no less than that of the Abyss Apostles who can teleport at any time—he just popped out of nowhere again.

"Where did you come from?" Ember was startled when he saw Dain appear in front of him with a "whoosh!"

"Here." Dain kicked a stone slab off the ground and flew up. Looking closely, he saw a dark tunnel beneath it.

"Are you a groundhog?" Ember couldn't help but complain when he saw Dain emerge from underground again.

"Pretty much, I spend much more time underground than on the surface," Dain said seriously.

If we really calculate it by time ratio, he probably spends more time underground than the gopher.

"Let's not talk about that. I just explored this secret realm and didn't find any deeper abyssal aura. What about you?"

Din didn't like jokes, so he got straight to the point.

“I only saw the Abyss Mage, as for the apostle you mentioned… I didn’t see him.” Ying shook her head. Then, recalling what she had just witnessed, she couldn’t help but ask curiously:

"Could you tell me more about what the [Abyss] is?"

“The Abyss…” Although Dain’s expression remained unchanged, the aura emanating from him suddenly became serious.

"The abyss is chaos, destruction, an unfathomable, insane chaos that erodes the very foundations of this world."

"You should have seen its power on the East Wind Dragon. Unless absolutely necessary, it's best to avoid having any contact with it whatsoever," Dain warned, arms crossed.

“Actually, it’s okay if you get it, just remember to see a doctor promptly. Like me.” Yu Jin leaned closer to the two of them and added.

Chapter 345 What kind of scene haven't I seen?

“No, it’s best not to get involved with the Abyss.” Dain shook his head when he heard Ember’s words. Then he stared intently at Ember, who was sandwiched between himself and Luminosity, and his brows finally furrowed a little.

"Even you should not underestimate the abyss. Anyone who underestimates it will eventually be swallowed up by it."

Dain paused for a moment, then emphasized, "Without exception."

Dain knew more about the taboos and dangers of the Abyss than anyone else. Therefore, he clearly understood just how terrifying this thing, capable of eroding the very foundation of the world, truly was.

The abyss is both a madness and a source of immense power and wondrous uses beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

But none of this is a reason to approach it. Compared to the destructive power of the abyss, its "wonderful uses" are not so important.

Buried beneath the earth are many ancient civilizations, some of which were destroyed by using the power of the abyss. Many of them were more advanced than the Seven Kingdoms of today.

Even Dain's own homeland, Kanria, that godless kingdom that surpassed any previous civilization, was ultimately reduced to ruins by the uncontrolled power of the abyss.

Although the role of deities in this process cannot be ignored.

"Is that so? Okay then, I won't contact her." Yu Jin scratched his head, and seeing that Dain was unusually serious, he decided to agree for the time being.

But if the Abyss actively seeks him out, that's a different story.

"Dain, you really know a lot about the Abyss," Paimon exclaimed in amazement as he saw how knowledgeable Dain was.

Dain's knowledge of such dangerous things is truly remarkable.

"Heh, I have quite a connection with the Abyss." Dain shrugged and said with a forced smile.

He's always very sensitive when it comes to things like the abyss.

"Alright, enough chit-chat. According to the information I just gathered, the Abyss Order is located in Wolf Territory." Dain looked at the somewhat empty secret realm and stroked his chin as he spoke.

"I'll be waiting for you in Wolf's Lair."

After saying that, Dain disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Hey! Why are you running so fast?!" Paimon stomped his foot angrily when he saw Dain disappear in an instant.

That guy, he left without even saying goodbye.

“Actually, he didn’t run away.” Ember stood next to Paimon and Ying and pointed to the ground.

“He digs underground tunnels,” Yu Jin said calmly, glancing at the blue light and shadow weaving through the earth’s veins.

"Dig...dig a hole?" Ying clearly didn't understand what Yu Jin was talking about, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Don't think too much about it. He's digging tunnels pretty fast. If you don't step up your game, he'll leave you behind."

Ember waved to Firefly, then strode out of the secret realm.

"Wait for me, senior!" Ying exclaimed and ran out after her.

……

Benlangling, this is the territory of wolves.

It is covered with dense forests and crisscrossed by ravines. Although it lacks majestic peaks and towering mountains, its terrain is no less complex.

Even the most experienced hunters, if they stay for too long, will inevitably be misled by the dense trenches and the towering trees, and thus lose their way.

The only creatures that can roam freely across this land are the wolves that have lived here for generations.

However, it is clear that this applies to ordinary people.

Yu Jin and the others were naturally not included in this category.

"Wow!"

A silver-gray figure darted out from the dense jungle bushes. Closely following him were two girls scratching their heads.

"Wow! These hooked fruits are so annoying!" Paimon felt his head get three times heavier and quickly scratched it with his little hands.

As his hair gradually became smoother, Paimon's hands were overflowing with hook fruits.

She glanced at Ying beside her; she was about the same size as Ying, but because Ying was larger, she had even more of those strange plants clinging to her.

Paimon immediately felt much better. The happiness hadn't disappeared; it had simply transferred from Ying's face to Paimon's.

"Why are you alright, Ember?" Paimon saw that Ember was completely clean and thought that he must have some special trick up his sleeve.

For example, the footwork techniques in Liyue martial arts novels, or some kind of magical magic.

"Bang Bang Bang!"

Ember banged his arms loudly, "If you could wear the same armor as me every day, you could do the same."

"Okay... fine, forget it then!" Paimon flew over and tugged at Ember's arm, but didn't budge.

So Paimon decisively gave up the idea of ​​becoming Armored Paimon.

She was even thinking of practicing and then bumping into people! But it's so heavy, so forget it. Ying is strong enough on her own, she just needs to cheer her on from the sidelines.

"Is Dain here?" Ying had finished cleaning the plants off herself and looked at the finally spacious green space, breathing a sigh of relief.

She moves through the dense forest in this outfit; anyone who tries it will know.

“Nearby.” Ember sensed the surroundings and then led Ying in a certain direction.

Dain wasn't far from here. When Ember and Firefly arrived, they saw Dain gazing into the distance.

"What are you looking at!" Ember walked to Dain's side. In front of them was the huge altar where the Wolf King was located.

The sun was shining brightly, and many old wolves were sunbathing on the snow-white altar.

“Look at an old wolf that has lost its will to live,” Dain said calmly.

"Do you know Andrius?" Ember glanced at the peaceful altar below. It seemed Andrius was still asleep and hadn't heard Dain's bad talk.

“I don’t know it, and it doesn’t know me.” A hint of reminiscence appeared in Dain’s eyes.

"It's just that... my former travel companion wanted to hear its story, so I learned a little bit about this old wolf."

This feeling called "memory" didn't last long, and Dain quickly composed herself.

As if changing the subject, Dain pointed to the faint firelight in the distance and said to the group, "Let's go and see if any more Abyss Apostles have passed through here."

"So, this place is so big, where should we start?" Paimon was a little discouraged when he saw how big Wolf Territory was.

With such a large area, where should we begin our search?

"Let me tell you some more information: the Abyss Order's forces in a certain region are generally not too dispersed."

"See that campfire over there? Given the Abyss Order's modus operandi, there should still be traces nearby. Go look for it."

As Dain spoke, she was about to leave first.

Although the area has been reduced, it is still quite large. If we don't act quickly, we'll have to work overtime today.

However, before he could leave, Yu Jin grabbed him.

Sensing resistance behind him, Dai Ying decisively stopped. He turned around and asked Yu Jin:

"Ember, do you have any good ideas?"

"Of course there are. Why not ask the wolves here?"

"Ask the wolf?" Din clearly hadn't thought of this method, or rather, the option of seeking help from others simply wasn't on his mind.

No one can help him, and he doesn't need anyone's help.

"Watch closely!" Ember walked to the edge of the altar pit, cupped his hands around his mouth, and shouted, "Hey! Lazy Wolf—, your little fanboy is here—"

Ember's voice had a strange penetrating power, directly waking the sleeping old wolf and also scaring away the wolf pack lying on the altar.

"Shut up! What's all the noise about?! Don't you know that older people need more sleep?!"

Frost blanketed the vast altar, and from the pale expanse, a giant wolf with blue and white markings and flowing mane emerged.
