Because, not to mention that Su Hao obtained the Emperor's inheritance, he also worked with the Emperor to revive the Demon God of Dust, Gui Zhong, who died in the war between demon gods.

The Emperor even said that Su Hao was very likely to be able to revive that [Nameless Yaksha].

Knowing this, Xiao was willing to fully cooperate with Su Hao. He would never contradict Su Hao and would not interfere with Su Hao's actions because of his own selfish reasons.

“Okay.” Su Hao naturally agreed. He looked at Ying and said, “Let’s deal with the muddy sluice gates around the entrance first. Once we’ve dealt with things here, we can slowly move deeper into the area.”

"And check inside the Abyss of Layered Rocks to see if any of the Thousand Rocks Army and the Fools remain and haven't retreated. If they hear the sounds of battle, they should come over on their own."

"The area we clear will become their shelter, where they will be a little safer."

After hearing Su Hao's words, everyone nodded; they had no objections.

D'Artagnan also showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, because he did not expect that Su Hao would actually consider the Fatui.

In fact, D'Artagnan himself knew that it was normal for Su Hao to hate the Fatui, given what the Fatui had done.

There are some things that even Datalia, the executor of the Fools, can't stand, let alone Su Hao, who is involved in them.

And what happened on Inazuma's side, the stragglers caused trouble in Inazuma, and the Doctor even stole the Heart of Thor from Yae no Miko.

If these things happened to D'Artagnan, he would never forgive the Fools. Although he wouldn't kill them all, he would definitely ignore them.

However, Su Hao forgave them and even planned to rescue them, which left Dadalia with a subtle sting in her heart.

It's like... I was thinking about how to trick Su Hao and the others, but they actually agreed to help my side.

Anyone with a conscience would probably feel guilty.

"We need to get serious."

D'Artagnan took a deep breath. Instead of using his bow to fish, he used the power of the water element to condense twin swords and began to clear away the surrounding black mud and monsters.

The battle raged fiercely here, the sounds of fighting carrying far into the distance, and half an hour quickly passed.

Centered on the elevator, the monsters and mud sluices in this large area were completely destroyed.

Ying began to rest on the spot. She had used up the most physical strength, after all, she was the one responsible for destroying the mud gushing mouth, and the physical strength she had used was unimaginable to ordinary people.

The others, who were more powerful, began to clear outwards, and this is where Yelan's advantage became apparent.

She brought a map of the Layered Rock Abyss, although the Layered Rock Abyss has undergone great changes since then, and the map may not be accurate.

Even if it's not entirely accurate, most of the area on the map remains unchanged. In addition, there are many powerful individuals here, making it even easier to clean up the monsters contaminated by the black mud.

The most difficult to deal with were actually a few semi-evolved rock dragon lizards.

Yes, there are several semi-evolved Rock Dragon Lizards at the bottom of the Rocky Abyss. They were clearly Rock Dragon Lizards that were forcibly evolved because of the Winter's Evolution Device.

Part of their bodies are moving closer to the [Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard]. Even if they don't evolve into the [Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard], their size and strength have increased significantly.

If this were to happen outside, the Thousand Rock Army would probably need to form a battle formation and unite to surround and kill it, and then pay a price to finally kill the Rock Dragon Lizard.

However, everyone here is strong, and the weakest among them are Hisaki Shinobu and Paimon.

Even Shinobu Hisaki had killed a Rock Dragon Lizard that hadn't fully evolved before.

Tartaglia's expression was both awkward and solemn, because this failed rock dragon lizard had appeared in the Layered Rock Abyss.

This means the Abyss Order is operating below. What are they planning to do here?

Could it be that it has its eye on its target, the Dragon King Ratha who once fought Morax?!

This is not impossible. According to the information from the lady, the Abyss Order had its eye on Dvalin, one of the Four Winds Guardians of Mondstadt.

The Abyss Order had its eye on the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard, and even attacked Su Hao, the Fools, and the Thousand Rock Army for it.

Their appearance in the Abyss of Layered Rocks must be for some other purpose. Judging from their previous actions, they are all looking for war behemoths that can be invincible on the battlefield.

D'Artagnan felt a pang of anxiety. He realized he needed to find a way to leave the group, investigate the Abyss Order's conspiracy, or go directly to the place where the Dragon King Rota was sealed.

But now, according to the contract, D'Artagnan can only obediently follow behind Su Hao and the others, continuing to clear the land for them.

An hour or two later, a dozen or so rather disheveled people appeared not far away.

The first person to see them was Shen He. When these people saw Shen He, they were somewhat dazed and couldn't help but think of a legend.

That is the white-haired hermit of Mount Aozang.

Shen He frowned slightly as she looked at the dozen or so people holding weapons and asked, "Are you the Thousand Rock Army?"

"Yes, are you the white-haired immortal from Mount Aozang?" A somewhat disheveled Qianyan soldier looked at Shen He, stepped forward, and said with some excitement.

He was an officer in the Thousand Rock Army, with hundreds of men under his command, scattered throughout the Layered Rock Abyss.

When a great change occurred deep within the Abyss of Layered Rocks, black mud began to erupt on a large scale, and pitch-black energy spread outwards at an extremely rapid speed.

He was supposed to lead his brothers to evacuate, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, he and some of his brothers remained in the Abyss of Layered Rocks.

Although most people left the Abyss of Layered Rocks, they were left behind for a long time.

Liyue also launched several operations, sending people to rescue them, but most of the time, they either missed their chance or the dark energy below was too dense.

Even those sorcerers with centuries or millennia of experience, possessing divine eyes, and even descendants of immortals, have tried to come to the rescue.

Inside the abyss of towering cliffs, people were being rescued one after another, but some were still not rescued.

These dozen or so Thousand Rock Army soldiers were part of it.

“No.” Shen He shook her head slightly. Now, she wouldn’t get angry if people mistook her for an immortal. She looked at the dozen or so disheveled Thousand Rock Army soldiers in front of her and said calmly, “My name is Shen He, and my master is True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng.”

"I'm here to take you home. You're safe now. Please follow me."

A few simple words brought tears to the eyes of these dozen or so men, and they couldn't help but shed tears.

Two years had passed in the dark, sunless underground abyss of layered rocks, if they hadn't known that the General Affairs Department and the Seven Stars had never given up on them.

They probably couldn't hold on any longer. Resources were constantly being depleted, and the monsters were endless. This kind of despair was something that ordinary people couldn't endure.

But they persevered and eventually received strong reinforcements.

Shen He led the dozen or so Qianyan soldiers toward a safe place.

During the journey, the dozen or so Thousand Rock Army soldiers remained vigilant while looking around in astonishment, because they could sense that the eerie and ominous dark aura around them had completely disappeared.

Yes, it has completely disappeared. Having lived in the Rock Abyss for two years, they know very well that this eerie and ominous dark aura is omnipresent and all-pervasive.

Only certain places can isolate them, but those places cannot even grow the most basic food.

They originally had a few companions, but because they ran out of food and supplies, they set off many times to search for food and basic necessities.

Later, they encountered monsters corrupted by the dark aura. They were ferocious and bloodthirsty, and in several battles, they lost them forever.

Furthermore, within the giant abyss of layered rocks, there are terrifying enemies.

They were like warriors emerging from the abyss, and each time they moved, they made a "crackling" sound.

Fortunately, these terrifying enemies were in deeper areas and wouldn't approach their vicinity; otherwise, even if they weren't all wiped out, they would have suffered heavy losses.

But now... the dozen or so Thousand Rock Army soldiers looked around at the fresh air, without a trace of darkness, and even the muddy creeks that used to be everywhere were gone.

This surprised them, and then they were overjoyed, because didn't this signify that the Abyss of the Rocks was about to reopen?!

If that's the case, then the people trapped in the giant abyss of layered rocks will be saved!

These dozen or so Thousand Rock Army soldiers were well aware that there were others inside the Layered Rock Abyss.

Besides the friendly Fools, there were also some ordinary people responsible for mining, and even some comrades from the Thousand Rock Army.

Just as they were getting excited, several people appeared in front of them. Su Hao and Ye Lan had arrived.

"Are you Li Ming?" Ye Lan looked at Qian Yanjun at the front and recognized his identity.

The other party was the only missing Thousand Rock Army officer in the Layered Rock Abyss. He was supposed to be the last to retreat, but in the end, he sacrificed himself to rescue his comrades.

"Yes." The Qianyan Army officer, addressed as Li Ming, looked at Ye Lan, saluted, and asked earnestly, "And you are?"

"I am from the General Affairs Department." Ye Lan introduced herself, then looked at the Thousand Rock Army soldiers behind the other party and slowly said, "You are safe, but not completely safe yet."

“We are on a classified mission. This place has been properly secured by our efforts. You can rest here.”

"We brought down some food and basic supplies, enough for you to use."

"However, we will be leaving this place in a little while to investigate some things deeper inside. Do you want to take the elevator out of the Layered Rock Abyss, or stay here and guard the place?"

Upon hearing Ye Lan's words, Li Ming immediately understood what she meant.

They are safe for now because they are still here. In a little while, they will be leaving this place to carry out their mission and head to the depths of the Layered Rock Abyss.

Even if this place is filled with black mud and pitch-black energy, who knows if the monsters in the giant rock abyss will come and suddenly launch an attack on this place.

Yelan gave these Thousand Rock Army soldiers two paths: one was to leave the Layered Rock Abyss.

The seal was temporarily opened, and not only were the Thousand Rock Army soldiers stationed there, but even Gan Yu, the Seven Star Secretary, was also present.

If they go up now, it probably won't be long before they're taken to a truly safe place.

Li Ming took a deep breath, looked at his brothers behind him, and asked, "Any of you want to leave?"

The dozen or so Thousand Rock Army soldiers gripped their somewhat damaged axes and spears tightly, and none of them uttered a word about leaving.

As Ye Lan just mentioned, whether or not to stay here means that the people above cannot come down for the time being.

The dark energy here has been mostly cleared away. If nothing unexpected happens, this place will become the front line for the counterattack of the Layered Rock Abyss.

They have a classified mission to carry out and certainly don't have time to linger here.

Since that's the case, let them take protection of this place.

Although they weren't particularly strong, no one was better than them in terms of defense and understanding of the monsters within the Layered Rock Abyss.

"We're not leaving!" Li Ming said to Ye Lan very seriously, "Our entire team will stay here!"

"Even if a powerful enemy attacks, we will never lose our position unless we are all killed in action."

"Thousands of rocks are solid, and the mountains will never move!"

As these words were shouted, the other seemingly disheveled Thousand Rock soldiers also gripped their spears tightly and shouted, "Thousand Rock is steadfast, its peaks will not move!"

"Thousands of rocks are solid, and the mountains will never move!"

"Thousands of rocks are solid, and the mountains will never move!"

Ye Lan looked at them, a complex emotion in her eyes.

If possible, she wanted to stay and help them.

But Ye Lan was well aware of her responsibilities, and Su Hao and his group might be able to solve the problem of this strange and ominous source of black mud by venturing deep into the Layered Rock Abyss.
