I'm in the Teyvat running group

"We're also in a contractual relationship~ ('?ｑ?｀)" Tsukihime said, hugging her Kiri-giri, "When will our great mage show me such concern~"

"As long as we can return safely this time, I will agree to any request you make." Yunxiu took Yueji's hand and said seriously, "But this time you must follow my command. The dangers below the Abyss of Layered Rocks are far beyond what many people can imagine."

"Who...who asked you to make any requests!" Retracting her hand as if electrocuted, Tsukihime said, her face flushed, "It's just...I want two of those clothes..."

"Ten pieces are no problem, let's go!"

After pointing out a direction to Tsukihime, the two of them quickly leaped out and soon found the rugged spatial node that led directly into the interior.

They exchanged a glance, Yunxiu fully charged her shield, and jumped in. After Yunxiu jumped in, Yueji smiled almost imperceptibly and also jumped in.

Just minutes after they jumped in, a man in a yellow and black robe and a tall woman in a kimono suddenly appeared.

"He'll definitely find out something about the past if he goes down there, is that a good thing?"

"Baal, didn't you also send your general here?"

"The fourth and fifth Adventors are currently in the Lava Abyss..."

"It's still under my control."

Suddenly, another pale green light descended, transforming into a girl wearing a green dress and strange ornaments on her head. However, her figure didn't resemble a real person, but rather a data projection. She landed and smiled upon seeing the two of them.

"You two seem to be having a good time here. If those things from the past are found, I can't be left out."

"Buyer, you actually descended here with your spirit. Does this mean the Death Domain of Sumeru no longer needs suppression?"

“After that battle, I conceived a child body named Nasita. She has grown for five hundred years and can now help me with some things.” The girl said with a smile, “Unlike the two of you who have many helpers, I can only solve the problem of insufficient manpower in this way.”

“My sister can’t do anything but fight…” the woman in the kimono said distressedly. “Only this old man has a lot of helpers. I wanted to borrow his men, and in the end, my daughter was involved.”

“We can wait here for a few days.” The man put his hands behind his back and waved them casually, and a set of stone table and stools appeared on the ground. He sat down, and with a flick of his finger, a tea set appeared. He began to slowly brew tea and looked at the two of them, saying, “Today’s atmosphere is suitable for herbal tea. I got this from Qingce Manor. You two may try it.”

The two women exchanged a glance and sat down gracefully. As the young girl quietly waved her hand in the air, the three figures disappeared completely, leaving no trace from the outside world.

-----------------

Yunxiu, who was plummeting through the passage, was naturally unaware of these things. If he had seen these people, he would have quickly had his understanding of the Great Compassion Tree King redefined!

Of course, he is currently doing his best to deal with these turbulent currents. The damage is not high, but it makes people feel dizzy. Every five seconds, it deals 1D8 damage corresponding to a 5th-level spell, and the cumulative damage is about 100 points per minute. Yunxiu can basically withstand it by casting Arcane Protection.

After a full fifteen minutes of falling, he finally landed on the ground. Although there were still about ten meters to the ground from the exit, posing a risk of fall injury, he managed to straighten himself with a slight twist of his body.

"Waaaaaah~" Upon hearing Yue Ji's voice, Yun Xiu jumped up and hugged Yue Ji in a princess carry, then landed lightly on the ground and helped her stand up.

"How could you treat me like this..." Tsukihime was about to get angry, but she was stunned by the magnificent scene of the giant abyss of layered rocks in front of her. She looked at the strange rocks crisscrossing, and the mineral veins and crystals shining with a warm light. Between the crystals and rocks, there were also strange plants and moss, forming a unique scene.

"So beautiful..." Yueji said, mesmerized, then pulled out a peculiar camera from somewhere and handed it to Yunxiu, saying, "Come on, take a picture of me!"

"...?" Although somewhat confused, Yunxiu obediently took the photos and returned the camera to Yueji.

Satisfied, Tsukihime patted the camera, then casually put it back somewhere, and said happily, "Let's go, let's hurry to the next location!"

"But it seems some people don't welcome us." Yunxiu smiled as she looked at the dense swarm of monsters that had already surged towards them.

Chapter 84 New Techniques to Destroy the Enemy and Sweep Away the Demon Swarm (Fourth Update in Three Days!)

"How about we make a bet?" Yue Ji said with a wicked smile, "From now until the bottom of the abyss, whoever kills more will unconditionally grant the other's request!"

"You're so much stronger than me, isn't it your chance to win?" Yunxiu wasn't afraid of Yueji's challenge. Relying on [Automatic Spell Counter] and her two newly awakened Destiny Constellations, Yunxiu could almost go unstoppable when dealing with monsters of the same level or even a higher level, although she couldn't guarantee that she would be stronger than before when fighting large monsters.

But shouldn't we get Tsukihime to place a bigger bet? We can't just agree so easily.

"Any conditions are fine!"

"You really think you've got me cornered?" Yunxiu pulled out her dragon scale staff, activated her flight spell, and said, "Looks like today I'll show you what a true archmage is!"

After saying that, Yunxiu immediately activated [Automatic Spell Counter], and used the Dragon Scale Staff and [Return of All Laws] to upgrade the ring twice in succession, directly casting an expanded range Eight-Ring Fireball!

A ray of light shot from Yunxiu's fingertip, bursting forth directly amidst the dense horde of monsters. A massive fireball exploded, wiping out all the monsters within a 60-meter radius! Seeing Yunxiu's earth-shattering clearing power, Yueji immediately transformed into a bolt of lightning, charging back and forth through the monster horde.

Yunxiu, like a tiger among sheep, flew directly above the monsters, unleashing one fireball after another from his hands!

Although the radius of the sixth-circle fireball is 20 meters less than that of the eighth-circle fireball, the damage remains the same. With Yunxiu's energy of 8608 points and his energy recovery efficiency, the sixth-circle fireball with 380 points of energy is poured out in his hands as if it were free, clearing the monster group in a short time, leaving only densely packed materials.

All the monsters' counterattacks were completely neutralized by the [Automatic Spell Counter] effect after the Ring Ascension spell was cast, and the energy was replenished into Yunxiu's body.

After clearing out all the monsters, his energy level was still full!

Seeing the astonished Tsukihime, Yunxiu used the Thousand Wind Hands technique, and 192 strange ghostly hands appeared, directly collecting the monster's materials into her spatial bag. Although they weren't particularly precious materials, they were enough to be given to Sugar to make storage bags.

"Hmph!" Yue Ji, clutching her sword, flew up and said, "You won't have it so easy when we encounter powerful monsters later!"

"Don't rush," Yunxiu patted Yueji on the shoulder. "You can have half of the money from these materials."

Looking at her still puffed-up little face, Yunxiu didn't say much. Instead, she chuckled and flew down with her. This place was almost the bottom of the mining area. If they went down any further, they would reach the underground swamp. Then they could figure out a way to rush from the swamp along the underground river all the way to the fluorescent passage.

Why is there an underground river in the Abyss of Layered Rocks? This is a question that Yunxiu has been pondering...

After all, while it's possible that there's water in the mine, it's unlikely that a mine with water could still be mined, and there's a whole underground river beneath the Layered Rock Abyss.

The only explanation is that a strange ecosystem has formed at the bottom of the abyss, consisting of organisms, the natural environment, and various other peculiar aspects, forming a system completely different from the outside world.

Just like the underground marshland they were walking through, there were rows and rows of ruins of all sizes, containing a large number of strange and wonderful creations. Moreover, due to the different strengths of the monsters, a strict hierarchical system had even been formed among them.

Just like the Black Serpent Knight, there were no other monsters within several kilometers around him. Both the Black Serpent Knight and the Dark Shell seemed to possess considerable intelligence. After sensing the earth-shattering energy emanating from Yunxiu and Yueji, only a few monsters glanced at them from afar and did not actually approach them, even as they were nearing the end of the ruins.

Only at the end of the road, a huge, dark, empty shell guards this place.

"This monster can absorb a mage's elemental shield, so you can't fight it now, can you?" Yueji chuckled. "There are more and more monsters like this down there."

"Then you just watch." Yunxiu smiled slightly and casually raised her hand.

In an instant, a strange blue, white, and green stream of light was forcibly fused together in his hand. The dense runes and spells compressed the three streams of light to the extreme in his hand, turning them into a strange "teardrop". The outer layer was filled with flowing blue water element ripples, while the middle layer was surrounded by constantly rising and falling green runes.

At the very core of this blue-green tapestry lies an extremely terrifying white sphere.

The enormous energy was even slightly unstable. Yunxiu frowned and threw the strange teardrop at the empty shell.

Snapped--

Only a puddle of water appeared on the empty shell, as if nothing had happened. But just as Tsukihime was wondering, water and grass elements grew wildly from the teardrop, transforming into dense, grassy green patterns that instantly enveloped the monster. And just as the monster struggled, suddenly every pattern burst forth with white light!

It was as if a black hole had formed inside the monster's body; his armor, shell, and body were constantly collapsing inward along the patterns, collapsing and collapsing without stopping!

puff--

With a final, teeth-grinding sound, the monster's collapse accelerated rapidly, turning into a thick mass of pale white ash in just a few seconds. A gentle breeze blew by, and the ash vanished in an instant!

"-232700!"

A terrifying spell that can instantly kill most seventh-ring monsters and even cripple eighth-ring monsters!

"What... what kind of spell is this?" Yueji was also surprised. In her understanding, it was impossible for a sixth-ring mage to cast such a terrifying spell! Even though she knew that Yunxiu had the ability to cast spells of rising rings, such power was almost beyond that of a normal ninth-ring spell!

Although it lacks the mystical aspects of ninth-ring spells, its damage and terrifying hit detection are enough to move any archmage. This explosive power already surpasses that of a servant, while Yunxiu is currently only at the sixth ring...

"Just developed." A ghostly hand appeared on Yunxiu's body, directly picking up the materials left behind by the empty shell, packing them up, and then looking at Yueji who was still dumbfounded, she said, "Come on, what's so surprising?"

"Can other mages learn this?"

“I don’t know…” Yunxiu thought for a moment, then said seriously, “At least he should be a Grand Mage of the same level as you, otherwise he shouldn’t be able to use so many transformation elements at all.”

"Hmm..." Tsukihime nodded and stopped talking.

It seems she wanted to ask about magic for Fox Maiden and Yae no Miko. As expected, Tsukihime is indeed a good child.

Yunxiu looked at the spell she had developed. At first, she wanted to call it "Send You Home in One Go", but after thinking about it for a long time, she finally named it "Tears of Return to the Ruins".

[Tears of the Ruins] 6 Rings / Variation Type:

This spell merges water and grass elements into an elemental network, inflicting a disintegration status on monsters and generating a miniature force field that deals 10D20 + 20% of the target's health (minimum 40 points) as damage. This spell can be cast in ascending rings, with each ascending ring increasing the damage by 2D20 and 5% of the target's health.

The most powerful spell in the sixth ring is "Disintegrate," which is almost an essential offensive spell for sixth-ring mages. However, after studying Disintegrate, Yunxiu discovered that this spell doesn't pose a significant threat to Teyvat itself...

The main damage of Disintegrate is force field damage, but many monster constructs in Teyvat are incredibly "sturdy," so they must be "disintegrated" before damage can be applied. He considered it for a long time and finally decided to base it on the seaweed reaction.

Covering the core of the central disintegration technique are two layers of water-making and grass-making techniques. Yunxiu incorporated inspiration from Shenhe's talismans into the runes. Once the water and grass elements are activated, they will quickly weave into a network, and then be directly absorbed and collapsed into ashes by the internal force field.

Yunxiu just used the eighth ring spell slot to cast this spell, dealing 14D20+30% damage. One shot blasted away 325 points of base damage, instantly killing this empty shell!

This was the damage he dealt without using any amplification spells, so it's no wonder that Tsukihime was so surprised.

With the development of this spell, Yunxiu's damage output further outweighed his defense—he could now kill himself with a single shot...

The two observed their surroundings again and left a piece of amber as a marker. Looking at the huge crack that led straight to the fluorescent passage, even the usually fearless Tsukihime felt fear.

"How deep is it?" Tsukihime kicked a pebble down, but there was no sound of it hitting the ground.

After thinking for a moment about the map, Yunxiu slowly said, "About two hundred and seventy kilometers..."

"Are we really going to jump?"

“There’s no other way. This is the fastest route. The Abyss of Laminaria is the most terrifying deep valley in this world.” Yunxiu said with a smile, “Taking other routes would be slower, but even if we went that route, it would take at least two days.”

"Don't worry, I'll catch you with my flight spell!" With that, Yunxiu jumped down. The rapid descent allowed him to break through supersonic speed in less than a minute, dealing 1D8 fire damage to his shield every second. The high-speed impact caused the damage to increase, reaching 4D8 fire damage in about three minutes.

After falling for more than five minutes, when she could vaguely see a glimmer of light below, Yunxiu activated her flight technique, slowly decelerating, and began to wait for Yueji in mid-air.

"This place is so exciting! yay ...

Screams echoed through the crack. With lightning-fast reflexes, Yunxiu immediately unleashed hundreds of mage hands, swiftly catching Yueji. Her armor glowed with a strange light, perfectly blocking the damage. The young girl's mindset seemed to make her feel like she was on a roller coaster, screaming and covering her eyes in fear.

After finally catching the little princess and getting her to activate her flying ability, the two of them descended slowly for more than two minutes before finally reaching the fluorescent passage.

Keep walking forward, then turn the corner, and you'll find a giant mushroom.

"If the Fungus Demon God hadn't appeared, this might have been the largest mushroom in the world..."

Chapter 85 The Mushroom Spirit Guides the Way to the Grass Dragon (First Update in Four Days!)

The mushroom stem is about 20 meters tall, and the mushroom cap is 50 to 60 meters in diameter. The huge mushroom is crystal clear and presents a unique beauty.

Yunxiu activated her [Contract of All Things], stepped forward and began to communicate with the mushroom, transferring some of the energy from the Lumenite to the giant mushroom.

"Two legs." A strange fluctuation emanated from the giant mushroom, its mushroom head trembling slightly, like an old man shaking his head: "Did you come for that 'mushroom'?"

"What 'mushroom'?" Yunxiu's head was practically filled with question marks, but then he seemed to remember something and asked, "Is it the one related to the 'Grass Dragon'?"

"Ah... the legacy left behind by the Tree King and the Sand King." The giant mushroom continued to sway. "Much easier to find than that idiot..."

"What idiot?" Yunxiu wanted to continue the conversation, but found that Mushroom had already given up.

Another piece of amber was left next to the giant mushroom. After all, coming from the other side of the normal road, it would be easy to see this giant mushroom blocking the way. Although he didn't know where Ying and the others had gone, he and Yueji had been rushing down the mountain by taking shortcuts. Judging from the fact that Ying and the others had been taking the main road, they probably hadn't even finished exploring the mining area yet...
