Hutao uses me to judge my performance

This time, he was prepared that he would not be able to come back.

How can you bring Jiang Bai with you?

Zhongli didn't explain much, just said: "He won't hold you back, take him with you."

Mandrill remained silent and finally nodded in agreement.

"Go and get ready. On the day of departure, come and find me in the Hall of Life."

"As ordered."

In the Hall of Rebirth, Jiang Bai was stopped by Zhongli with a confused look on his face.

"Master, what do you want from me?"

"In a few days, you will go with Mandrill to the giant layered rock abyss."

"Strata Rock Abyss? Why do you want to go there suddenly?"

Jiang Bai knows this place.

It is a huge underground mine that has been closed before.

"A Yaksha fell among them, and Mandrill wants to find out the reason. I don't worry about him going alone."

Jiang Bai is not a native of Teyvat, so he has certain special characteristics.

The pollution in the layered rock abyss will have a great impact on Mandrill, but it may not be effective on Jiang Bai.

If Kong is there, it would be better if Kong is with Mandrill.

It's just that there is a difference between closeness and distance. Instead of asking Kong, it is better to let Jiang Bai go.

"That's it, no problem!" Jiang Bai patted his chest and agreed.

Isn't it just to accompany Mandrill on a trip to the Rock Abyss? No problem!

Although there is no comparison, he feels that he has mastered the three elemental powers and his current strength is no weaker than Mandrill.

When he and Mandrill join forces, the effect is 1+1 greater than 2.

Apart from encountering God, there is no danger that can keep them here.

Zhongli instructed: "There are many dangers and strange things underground in the Layer Rock Abyss. Take these Lianli Qingxin Powder with you. If Mandrill is affected by karma, give it to him as soon as possible. Also, take this jade pendant with you."

"What is this jade pendant used for?" Jiang Bai turned over the jade pendant Zhongli gave him and looked over it. Apart from the fact that it looked very expensive, he didn't find anything special about it.

"If you encounter overwhelming danger, crush it and it will protect you."

Jiang Bai's eyes lit up, he put this life-saving treasure into his pocket, rubbed his hands together, and looked forward to Zhongli.

"Master, do you still have some? Give me a little more."

Zhongli shook his head and did not intend to give it again.

One piece of this kind of life-saving thing is enough, but if it is too much, it will make him lose his sense of crisis.

On this day, Mandrill came to the Rebirth Hall quietly.

He appeared in the courtyard and called softly: "Emperor."

"Here we come." Zhongli looked sideways.

"Yes." Mandrill lowered his head to show respect.

"Finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Jiang Bai smiled, as if he had no idea how dangerous the place he was about to go was.

Seeing his appearance, Mandrill frowned.

He still didn't want to take Jiang Bai with him. It wouldn't matter if something happened to him, but it was his fault that Jiang Bai was implicated.

Seeing his resistance, Zhongli Qingshen explained.

"Don't think too much, I let him have his own reasons."

"Yes."

Looking at Mandrill who was stern in front of Zhongli, Jiang Bai put his arm around his shoulders. It was particularly easy to hold him up at this height.

"Why are you so reserved? Just relax. Don't worry, I will definitely protect you."

elf:"……"

It is not certain who is protecting whom.

Mandrill slapped his hand away, not used to such an overly close distance.

"Go, come back early."

Not caring about Mandrill's resistance at all, Jiang Bai put his hand up again and stopped him from walking out.

"Let's go, let's go, I haven't been to the Strata Abyss yet!"

Due to Zhongli's presence, Mandrill remained silent and said nothing.

As soon as he walked out of the yard, he disappeared directly.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Seeing Mandrill running away, Jiang Bai chased after him.

Since he has mastered the wind element to a certain extent, he has become extremely sensitive to the wind element.

As soon as Mandrill left, he discovered where the others were.

Jiang Bai chased the mandrill flying fast in the air, "Wait for me! You are flying too fast!"

Mandrill's indifferent voice spread to Jiang Bai's ears along with the wind, "You have been training with me for so long, and you only have this speed?"

"As for that, I'm just on my way..."

Jiang Bai muttered and speeded up.

Seeing Jiang Bai chasing after him, Mandrill continued to speed up, and like a stream of cyan light, he disappeared from sight in an instant.

"Really?"

Jiang Bai took a breath and opened up his speed.

The ultra-high-speed flight directly drew a white line in the air.

Seeing Jiang Bai chasing after him, Mandrill nodded slightly, quite satisfied.

Not that his special training was wasted.

The two of them traveled quickly through the sky. The journey that originally took several days arrived in a short time.

Looking at the huge valley below and the layers of rocks that were mined and hollowed out, Jiang Bai let out a sigh of admiration.

Although this was not his first time here, he still marveled at the majesty of this place every time he saw this shocking sight.

You must know that the scenery here is not formed naturally, but is created by the miners who have been mining for thousands of years with a hoe and a shovel.

"Is the Strata Abyss open? Do we need any procedures to enter?"

Jiang Bai didn't know much about the Stratayan Abyss, and Zhongli didn't leave him much time to inquire about the Stratayan Abyss.

Besides, the great abyss has been closed for a long time, so the information obtained may not be useful.

Mandrill gave him an idiot look.

As an immortal, why does he need to go through the formalities to enter the giant layered rock abyss?

The mandrill fell into the mouth of the great abyss.

There is a huge seal here, which isolates the inside from the outside world.

"How are we going to get in?" Jiang Bai stepped on this transparent barrier-like magic circle, but it didn't move at all and had no reaction to his stepping.

He looked down, it was pitch black without any light, like a bottomless and terrifying abyss.

Chapter 597 Life of Retired Elderly People

Mandrill picked up Jiang Bai and made a magic spell. A ray of light enveloped the two of them, directly penetrating the seal and falling downwards.

There was a severe feeling of weightlessness, a feeling like falling into an abyss, which made people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.

"Ah - I'm going to be beaten to death -"

Jiang Bai, who was grabbed by the collar, screamed like a pig.

Mandrill let go of his hand speechlessly and let him fall down.

The Wings of Wind unfolded behind Jiang Bai. He pulled at his collar and felt like he was breathing heavily.

Descending slowly for more than ten minutes, Jiang Bai finally felt that he had stepped on the ground.

He looked around, and it was pitch black all around, with only some luminous crystals in some corners emitting gleaming light.

However, the light of these crystals is limited and can only illuminate the small area where it is located. The entire cave is still extremely dark.

"Mandrill, can you see it?"

Mandrill's voice came from the side, "I can see a little bit."

Although he is an immortal, he does not have the ability to see through the darkness.

It's just that it can sense the objects around it, so it won't be unable to see the road clearly.

"Go look at that glowing crystal."

Mandrill could feel that the luminous crystal was unusual and seemed to contain some pure energy.

Jiang Bai took out a stone that was usually used as a lamp. As soon as a light source appeared, the surrounding area suddenly became much brighter.

He walked to the location of the glowing stone in the cave and picked up the crystal that was placed on the shelf.

This crystal is blue in color, warm to the touch, and has an inexplicable energy.

The material made him feel a bit like fragments of the Cold Sky Nail.

"What kind of stone is this?" Jiang Bai looked at Mandrill.

"do not know."

"You don't know?"

"I haven't been to the bottom of the abyss many times, and I don't know more than you."

"Okay... then I'll take it with me first. The lighting effect is quite good."

Compared to the luminous stone in his hand, this crystal is much brighter, and the light travels farther.

"How should we go now? Where to go?" Jiang Bai looked at Mandrill again.

He knew nothing about the bottom of this abyss, and even his sight was blocked in this dark underground world.

Before he set off, he went to inquire about it, and found out that no one had a map of the Strata Abyss.

Even the map of the General Affairs Department only maps a small part of the mining and transportation distance of the miners.

It is said that the bottom of the layered rock abyss is extremely vast, and the mining locations currently mined are only a very small part.

This small collection of maps is useful, but not very useful.

Mandrill came underground to look for the footprints of the unknown Yaksha. If the Yaksha was active in the mine tunnel, he would have been discovered long ago. Since only a little news has been circulated, the place where the Yaksha appeared was actually deep in the depths.

"Follow me." Mandrill walked straight in one direction, where there was a road leading to the depths.

Mandrill has been here before. At that time, the Zengyan Great Abyss had not yet been sealed, and there were workers working enthusiastically underground to mine.

At that time, there were countless lighting tools that illuminated the underground world.And as the place closed, the miners were dismissed, and the lights that used to illuminate the place lost their light.

If there weren't some luminous plants and some naturally luminous crystals, this place would completely become a dark place.

Jiang Bai looked around while following Mandrill.

Judging from the traces left here, these miners left quite hastily.

Some excavated ore was piled in the mine cart, and the manuscript was thrown aside casually, obviously without time to process it.

The whole underground was extremely quiet, except for the footsteps of the two walking, there was no other sound.

Jiang Bai quickened his pace and followed Mandrill to chat with him.

It's so quiet here, it's still lively if there is some noise.

"I heard that the Strata Abyss seemed to be closed because of strange black mud that appeared in it.
