The treasure thieves of Teyvat rob Shenhe

Lin Ye's eyes avoided Zhiqiong and saw the firewood behind her. He was surprised for a moment and asked.

"Are you...barbecuing?"

Zhiqiong nodded and said as a matter of course.

"Yes, it's almost time for dinner. I caught a weasel. Do you want to eat it? One of my seniors sent me the meat of a snow weasel. It's very delicious, hehe."

"Thank you, I'm not hungry."

Lin Ye looked at the limp weasel and was sure it was dead.

I remember a member of a treasure-stealing group once raised a weasel...

At this moment, Lin Ye vaguely heard a slight vibration, and then the entire rock abyss was sank into an earthquake.

"An earthquake?!" Zhiqiong said in surprise.

"Well. Maybe it's because the seal is loose." Lin Ye replied.

Both of their small plates were very stable, and the earthquake lasted for a while and then ended.

"I don't know if there will be aftershocks. Fortunately, we are in an open area. If we were in the mine, it would be terrible." Zhiqiong muttered.

"There is only one Pan key left, and I am the only one who knows its approximate location. Let's go there."

In order to save time, Lin Ye carried Zhiqiong from behind and used the Shining Time to hurry on his way.

Zhiqiong was not afraid and said it was very exciting.

When landing, Zhiqiong still felt unsatisfied.

Panjian is in a deep underground mine. Although it is close to the surface mining area, it is dozens of meters away from the surface.

At this time, the normal wind wings come into play.

The two of them went down to look for the key, and Zhiqiong found a topic to talk about.

"We were just flying in the sky, and we don't know if there will be another earthquake... The kind of earthquake that just came and went quickly, the old people in the mine used to call it 'the breath of a lump of meat'."

"Meat?"

"Well, Routuo! It means there is a fat man at the bottom of the mountain, and when he snores, the earth shakes."

"Do you think there is a possibility that it is Ruo Tuo? Read it with me, r~e~re, not r~ou~rou. The old man has a heavy accent and pronounced it as routuo."

"Maybe... Most of the old people who told the story of the Dragon King passed away when I was a child, so I'm not sure...

"But what I know about the Ruotu Dragon King is that he is said to be a king who ruled over the Tianqiu Valley in ancient times... He is the Dragon King of the mountains. Tian Tiezui loves to tell stories about him."

"Legend has it that he was subdued by Lord Yan with force here, and was sealed in the deep mountains of Jueyunjian, where he is still sleeping."

"Indeed." Lin Ye agreed in part.

The Dragon King Ruota was forcibly dragged out from the depths of the Rock Abyss by Zhongli. In order to prevent harm to the miners there, the battlefield was led to the uninhabited Tianqiu Valley.

If King Rhodo was sealed in the Abyss, given the depth at which the Liyue miners were mining, wouldn't that be a huge blow to Brother Tuozi's ass?

I don’t know if Brother Tuozi has become a resentful little loli now?

By the way, if I were to think about it casually, the reason why Tuozi and Morax fell out might be...

As we all know, Zhongli is just one of the human incarnations of Morax. Our Prince Geo can also transform into a queen, and our Brother Tuozi can transform into a little loli.

Sure enough, the fight between the queen and the loli is an unsolvable deadlock...

While Lin Ye was lost in thought, Zhiqiong discovered Pan Jian.

There were no monster attacks, and the last Panjian was successfully resolved.

Then the earth shook and Zhiqiong's bad words came true.

Lin Ye quickly grabbed her by the back of her clothes and rushed out.

"Hahaha, there's an old saying in Liyue, 'Those who survive a great disaster will be blessed in the future.'" Zhiqiong looked heartless.

Lin Ye was speechless. Anyway, the seal was released, and he would first go to find the security technician Jin Wu to process the lumen stone.

……

Next, choose your hero.

Lin Ye looked at the Layered Rock Abyss Survey Team. They were all masters with hidden talents.

Chapter 422 Win-win cooperation

Layered Chasm Exploration Team:

Haidifu is a special scholar from Xumi. His main research areas are minerals and biology. He is responsible for science and finance in the team.

Jinwu, mentioned by Zhiqiong before, is a safety technician responsible for equipment repair and maintenance.

Taliesin, the poet of Mond...

A person who doesn't fit in with the exploration team, is she a singer? Is her role to chant and add spiritual buffs?

Finally, there is Zhiqiong, an adventurer who is good at exploring and drawing maps, and has the courage to move forward.

When Commissioner Mu Ning saw Lin Ye and Zhi Qiong coming back, he guessed that it was the two of them who lifted the seal of the Seven Star Formation after feeling the earthquake in the abyss just now.

If Lin Ye was not a special commissioner, Commissioner Mu Ning would definitely play the villain and accuse Lin Ye of daring to destroy the seal of Lord Seven Stars.

And now, Commissioner Mu Ning sighed. After so long, it is time for the Layered Rock Abyss to see the light of day again.

Zhiqiong introduced the survey team to Linye, while Jinwu and the others looked at Linye, looked at each other, and talked politely for a few words. Taliesin said a few dirty words, as all bards love to say dirty words.

The game is different from reality. Lin Ye is deep in the rock abyss. No one knows what is happening below, and the terrain inside is complex. It is best to have a professional guide.

Lin Ye decided to go into the abyss with the survey team.

Without further ado, Lin Ye and the survey team rushed to the mouth of the abyss and used a crane to mine.

Lin Ye looked down at the mouth of the abyss from the edge of the mine. It was bottomless and for some reason, it was covered with a layer of mist, just like the passage to hell in mythology. Once you entered it, you would leave the world.

It was already dusk, and the clouds had taken on a blood-red hue, which, combined with the desolate and wild atmosphere of the rocky abyss, made the scene seem even more eerie.

Commissioner Mu Ning did not follow the team in. He said he was in charge of external liaison.

Another twenty Qianyan soldiers followed, responsible for protecting the safety of the survey team. After all, except Zhiqiong, they were all civilians.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Ye and his team successfully arrived at the underground mining area of the Layered Rock Abyss, and their landing site was the temporary main mine tunnel.

"I haven't been to the underground mine for a long time. This is a familiar smell." Zhiqiong said nostalgically.

Lin Ye observed the underground mining area. No matter whether it was day or night outside, it was not affected here.

The environment is dark, but fortunately the temporary main mine tunnel is open, and with the illumination of wild lumen stones and lumen stone catalysts, and the mascot Yoshimitsu insects, a normal person can see roughly clearly, at least it is not difficult to tell the difference between male and female at a distance of two meters, or between humans and animals at a distance of five meters.

Wu Jin processed lumen stones for everyone, during which time Lin Ye discussed plans with others.

The temporary main mine tunnel was less affected by the mutation, and nothing strange had been found so far.

The purpose of the survey team is to find a way to solve the source of the mutation, while Lin Ye is looking for the missing Sister Ye Lan. The underground mining area is very large, and even the previously known area will take a day to walk.

To be on the safe side, we set up camp first, take a rest, and then move forward to explore the previously known areas. After not coming here for a few years, who knows what changes may have taken place there.

The tent was quickly set up, and Khediv began to study the crystal stone he had found. Taliesin was alone in a corner, doing something unknown, and the Thousand Rocks Army was on guard around the camp.

Zhiqiong went to chat with Lin Ye, and she seemed to enjoy talking to Lin Ye.

"Do you know Lao He?"

"Who is Lao He?"

"Hahaha, you definitely don't know. He's an old miner here. Lin Ye, this is your first time in the Layered Rock Abyss, right? It would be strange if you knew Lao He."

"Then why are you asking me who Lao He is?"

"Hehe, a topic always has to have an introduction. Don't mind it... After the strange change happened in the abyss, it was not obvious at first, and the miners did not evacuate all at once... Mining is not as profitable as doing business, but it is better than many jobs. Many people rely on it to support their families." Zhiqiong said with a slightly low voice.

"I've said so much before, but I don't think I've explained to you what the anomaly is. It's that glowing round stone. The closer you get to it, the more your mind will be affected."

"The underground mines are dark and gloomy to begin with. It's hard not to feel depressed if you stay there for a long time. Now I'm even experiencing hallucinations and many monsters are appearing. I heard they are the remains of the dark disaster five hundred years ago."

"A few years ago, the anomaly suddenly became serious, and the Qianyan Army urgently evacuated the miners. Lao He is old and hard of hearing, so he may not have heard clearly and later became one of the missing people... I heard all this from Sister Jin Wu. She doesn't believe in evil and thinks Lao He is still alive."

"I think Lao He is still alive. He is an old miner and knows how to survive in underground mines. He has experienced all kinds of storms!" Zhiqiong said seriously.

Lin Ye was silent and nodded.

"After resting, I will survey the terrain deep in the mine and draw a map. Hum, the team cannot do without me. What about you?" Zhiqiong asked again, "Are you going to act alone?"

Lin Ye thought about it, looked at Zhiqiong's level, and smiled.

"Let's go together. You want to go deep into the mountains, and I want to go deep into the mountains too. This is my first time here, and I'm not as familiar with it as you. You lead the way, and I'll protect you. We'll take care of each other."

Zhiqiong is a mortal, an ordinary person without the Eye of God. Her level is 30, which is very good, indicating that Zhiqiong has at least experienced a breakthrough in life and death.

But compared with Lin Ye Shen He who is at level 60, Chong Yun who is at level can beat Zhi Qiong without relying on magic and God's Eye. God's Eye is not only an external magic organ, it can also subtly enhance a person's physique and easily break through the first layer of shackles.

It is very dangerous for Zhiqiong to act alone in this huge abyss of mutated rock that buries the ruins of Kanreya.

Lin Ye didn't know much about Zhi Qiong. In his previous life, he had heard that Zhi Qiong ignored advice and kept seeking death. But after getting to know each other, Lin Ye felt that Zhi Qiong was quite interesting, thoughtful and passionate.

Zhiqiong is not useless. For Lin Ye, she can help him.

So, cooperation is a win-win situation.

Zhiqiong blinked. She was a little surprised by Lin Ye's answer. After a short time together, Zhiqiong realized that Lin Ye was extraordinary. After all, he was a special envoy and a big shot. She thought he would choose to act alone.

"...a logical answer. If I don't, I don't need your protection. I aspire to be a great adventurer like Stanley, and I am very powerful."

Zhiqiong said this, flexing his muscles.

"Let us work together. To use Miss Catherine's answer, we will head towards the stars and the abyss. This time it really is the abyss, the Rocky Abyss."

After resting for a while, Lin Ye and Zhi Qiong prepared to set off, and Jin Wu handed them the processed lumen stones.

Jinwu was relieved when he heard that Lin Ye was planning to act together with Zhiqiong.

Lin Ye is a special envoy, and Jin Wu and others have no right to interfere with Lin Ye's actions. He was entrusted with such an important task by Qixing and went to the Layered Rock Abyss alone. He must have good martial arts skills and is willing to act with Zhiqiong, so he can protect this silly roe deer at the same time.

……

The exploration begins.

Chapter 423 The power of my thinking

Lin Ye and Zhi Qiong set out from the camp and walked along a wooden board fixed on one side of the rock wall. No one had stepped on it for several years and it made a creaking sound when they stepped on it, making people worry that it would suddenly rot and someone would fall off.

If you keep moving forward along the wooden plank and finally make a circle, Zhiqiong said you have to go down first to the main mine tunnel. Fortunately, the crane can still operate normally.

Lin Ye looked up and saw a big hole in the sky. That was the mouth of the abyss. In ancient times, there was a frog at the bottom of a well, but now the bottom of the well was incredibly wide. Lin Ye estimated that it was the size of four or five regular football fields.

Abandoned mining tools can be seen everywhere in the underground mining area. The miners were in a hurry to get out and they were lucky enough to escape, so they didn't care about anything else.

Zhiqiong walked deeper into the cave while drawing diagrams. Along the way, he encountered several rock slimes jumping out, but did not encounter the common hillbilly monsters.

The treasure-stealing group from the Layered Rock Abyss sneaked in through secret passages after the Seven-Star Formation was broken and all entrances to the underground mining area were completely blocked.

The treasure-stealing group came to the Layered Abyss definitely not to mine. If these lazy people were willing to live by physical labor, they would not be sneaky and rob people on the road.

There was a strange change in the abyss, and something fatal had appeared. However, when it got to the ears of some people, it became a place where rare treasures were hidden, and there was some super huge ancient ruins. Since it was a ruin, there must be treasures.

When Commissioner Mu Ning heard about this, he almost died of laughter. The people of Liyue had been digging for who knows how many years, but had not come across any ruins.

There are only jumping slimes, slowly flying Yoshimitsu bugs, and occasional exploding fruits. Apart from that, the underground mining area is even quieter and more depressing than above. If a person stays here for a long time, he will either explode in silence or become perverted in silence.

During the investigation, Zhiqiong went to the place where Lao He worked before his retreat, and Linye also looked for any clues left by Sister Ye Lan, but both of them found nothing.

As he went deeper, Lin Ye discovered a mud outlet. This thing often appears in the "black mud", maintaining the black mud around it. In the game, it makes the lumen crystal ineffective, and can also be purified with a lumen stone catalyst.

"This thing didn't exist before the evacuation." Zhiqiong asked curiously. She displayed the inherent talent of an adventurer and went forward to take a look.

Lin Ye reached out to stop her.

Far more sensitive than ordinary people, Lin Ye could feel the disgusting odor emanating from the mud outlet, like a tumor caused by an illness.

Ordinary people without the protection of elemental forces are easily eroded. They will feel dizzy at first, thinking it is due to the thin oxygen underground, which eventually causes irreversible mental pollution.

"This thing is very dangerous. You don't have the Eye of God and the protection of elemental power, so it's best not to get close to it easily."

"Then it's blocking our way. A great adventurer should have the fearless spirit to climb over the mountain in front of him!" Zhi Qiong said dissatisfiedly.

"That's not fearlessness, that's stupidity. Do you think you can get through danger with just willpower?"
