Be a legal businessman in Liyue!

Stepping on the land of salt in the earth, Wang Que could clearly feel the rustling sound of the crystals rubbing against each other.

I looked down and saw some white salt grains on my shoes.

"Tsk, if Liyue didn't have sea salt fields, this salt from the earth would probably require a mine."

What mine? A salt mine, of course.

As we all know, salt is an essential mineral for the human body.

Not eating salt for a long time may cause fatigue, headache, nausea, and in severe cases, coma or even death.

Therefore, in ancient China, the salt and iron businesses were extremely profitable and would attract the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

The salt in the earth is a natural salt field, and this place should have been very prosperous.

It’s a pity that Liyue has salt field technology for drying salt from seawater, so the Salt of the Earth is relatively remote and has been abandoned.

However, Wang Que still saw quite a few pits, which should be traces left by private collection when Mingyun Town was not yet abandoned.

"Well, the remains of Heulia are still deep down."

After looking around, Wang Que withdrew his gaze and continued to move deeper into the salt underground.

The rustling sound of salt grains rubbing against each other underfoot was repeated.

With the help of the Adventurer's Association's map and his own memories of the game, Wang Que quickly found the location of the seal.

A huge translucent seal sealed the deep pit tightly, leaving no gaps.

"Then the next step is to decrypt it." Wang Que stretched and began to check the surrounding area.

Although sealing is knowledge about formations, it is essentially runes that are at work.

In addition, Wang Que also knew the decryption code, so the seal in front of him could not stop him, it would just take a little more time.

While he was busy.

Deep underground.

In a secret salted area.

A ferocious beast, emitting a dark and ominous aura, was staring at the young man in front of it with a fierce look.

"The Emperor is right. You guys who should be sent to hell are still a little restless."

If Wang Que were here, he would be able to recognize that this is the evil-repelling Yaksha.

Dressed in gray, he did not reveal his evil-repelling body, but instead held a spear in his hand, like a military general.

Faced with Zichen's cold words, the ominous black beast did not react at all and remained on guard.

It has no intelligence and cannot understand what the other party is saying. It just feels threatened.

"As annoying as ever."

A cold light flashed in Zi Chen's eyes, and he moved his body and appeared beside the ferocious beast. He swung his spear, and lightning burst out, like a bolt of thunder in the clear sky.

The ferocious black beast was directly whipped away.

A deep wound was drawn on the body, so deep that the bone could be seen.

However, not a single drop of blood or flesh fell, only an ominous black gas dissipated.

It seemed to have no sense of pain, let out an unpleasant roar, and pounced directly at Zichen.

Zi Chen was naturally not afraid. He waved his spear and charged towards the opponent.

His strength was obviously stronger than that of his opponent, but as the battle progressed, black gas continuously overflowed from the ground and was sucked into the body of the ferocious beast.

Gradually, its wounds began to heal.

"Still as difficult as before."

Zi Chen had a blank expression on his face. He was not unfamiliar with this situation. In that turbulent era, he had seen countless monsters like this.

"kill."

With a cold shout, the spear was swung, lightning flashed, and the fighting continued.

...

the other side,

Wang Que first found the rock mark and opened the first seal, then found several elemental monuments.

According to the secret words "Go out of Tianheng in the south, enter Yaoguang in the east, climb Jueyun in the west, and visit Qingce in the north", light up the elemental monument.

The seal above the ruins shook slightly and then disappeared.

"What a deep hole."

Wang Que glanced down and narrowed his eyes slightly.

At this depth, even if there is no seal, ordinary adventurers would not dare to go down.

However, he is no ordinary adventurer.

He stretched out his hand and drew a line in the air, magic power flowed, and the escape talisman appeared.

His body lightened, turned into a breeze, and slowly fell down.

Soon, he passed the pool below and stepped on the rocky ground that was slightly wet and salty.

Then, Wang Que showed a puzzled expression.

"Has someone already been here?"

In front of his eyes, there was a very shallow footprint. If it weren't for Wang Que's strong perception, he would never have been able to find it.

This is very abnormal. As the ruins of Heulia were sealed by the Emperor, it is impossible for anyone to break into them easily.

Moreover, Wang Que was certain that it was he who broke the seal, and the person who left the footprints... came in directly without even opening the seal.

"Could it be... the abyss?"

The people of the abyss travel through the earth veins all day long. It is possible that they can use some means to break into the seal through the earth veins.

"Forget it, let's go in and take a look."

Wang Que's eyes flashed, and he walked straight into the ruins without looking at the footprints.

Near the entrance of the ruins, you will see several human-shaped salt sculptures.

However, Wang Que knew that these were not real salt sculptures, they were all people of Heulia.

They also paid a price for killing the gods.

Heulia is a very weak demon, but no matter how weak she is, she is still a demon.

The power released when she died directly turned the entire capital of the Salt Kingdom into salt, and only a small number of the Salt God's people escaped.

These escapees later joined Liyue. In order to cover up their own acts of godslaying, they erased history, so that their descendants mistakenly believed that Heulia was a powerful demon who was murdered by Morax.

I have to say, this is also a very funny thing.

These people currently occupy very important positions in Liyue and are mainly responsible for Liyue's salt industry.

It's an ancestral craft.

Wang Que went deeper into the ruins while thinking about Heulia and her people.

The ruins have gone through thousands of years and are actually a bit dilapidated.

The cities once built by the people of Salt have turned into ruins, and many roads have become deserted and inaccessible.

However, none of these are a problem for Wang Que.

No matter how difficult the road is, just raise your hand and cast a talisman.

Go? I'll just fly.

Chapter 144 Why are you here?

As Wang Que continued to go deeper,

Soon,

The sound of metal clashing reached his ears and immediately caught his attention.

There are living things in the ruins.

Wang Que had no doubt about this situation.

The ruins of Teyvat are rarely visited and contain various ancient devices or secrets, which usually lead to siltation of the earth veins where the ruins are located.

The accumulation of earth veins resulted in the formation of monsters.

Because it is a remote place, there is no one to deal with the monsters here, so they often gradually develop intelligence and then form settlements.

This is the origin of the hill tribes in the ruins.

It is also the most common danger that adventurers encounter in the ruins.

"But will monsters fight monsters?"

Wang Que shook his head.

"So, this is the person who entered the ruins before."

He quickened his pace.

Climb over several dilapidated buildings and go around several thorny bends.

Wang Que's eyes suddenly became clear.

In a flat space as big as two football fields,

Two figures, one grey and one black, were fighting each other.

The gray-clothed figure was holding a spear and was suppressing the black beast.

But black gas kept overflowing from all around, providing the black beast with endless power.

"War off evil spirits!??"

Wang Que widened his eyes, almost screaming out in surprise, and a hint of joy appeared in his heart.

He thought about meeting people from the Abyss, the Fatui, and even the Treasure Thieves here.

But I never thought that I would meet Bixie Zichen here.

When Wang Que was cultivating this guy's body, he thought that he was going to fight Osel to the death.

But in the end, Zichen did not appear on the battlefield of Osel at all.

At that time, Wang Que thought that Lao Deng might have some other secret mission to give to Zi Chen.

But he didn't expect that Zi Chen would appear here.

However, now that he saw that the other party was fine, Wang Que breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he was okay, it was good.

But immediately, a ridiculous idea flashed through Wang Que's mind.

"Did Lao Deng really attack Heulia?"

He subconsciously thought that Lao Deng sent people here to destroy some evidence so that it would be easier for him to bring Huangmao here.

But soon, Wang Que shook his head and denied the idea.

To put it bluntly, what kind of evidence could be kept under the nose of Emperor Rock for thousands of years?

"I've been thinking about the Salt Survivors, and my thoughts have been affected."

Wang Que also secretly cursed himself for being mentally ill.

Then he looked at Zi Chen and the black beast fighting, his eyes slightly solemn, and activated the golden finger.

[Evil spirit condensed into a body, current energy level 70]

"This beast... is it a manifestation of evil death energy?"

He saw that Zi Chen's spear pierced the opponent countless times, but did not cause fatal injuries, and the beast did not bleed. This was definitely not a normal life.

After thinking about it, Wang Que roughly understood that Bixie was sent by Lao Deng to solve the problem of dead energy.

Immediately, he no longer hesitated and waved his hand.
