Hutao uses me to judge my performance

Hu Tao immediately pulled two fast horses and ran through the streets of Liyue towards the layered rock abyss as fast as possible.

"Hey, isn't that the boss? Where are you going?" Yidou looked at Hutao galloping past the roadside on horseback and scratched his head.

Kuki Shinobu held his chin in his hand, "It seems something happened."

Although the fast horse just passed by in a flash, Hu Tao's expression was very serious, and he didn't even notice that they were on the roadside.

"Ah, why did something happen suddenly? No, we have to follow over and take a look!"

"They are too fast, we can't catch up."

"This is easy to handle, why don't we just borrow two horses?"

With that said, Yidou was ready to randomly find passers-by to "borrow" horses.

Jiu Qi held him down, "Boss, this is Liyue! Do you want to be put in a cell just a few days after you arrived?"

"What should we do? We can't just ignore it."

"I'll think of a way. One of my senior sisters lives nearby. I should be able to borrow a horse from him."

Not long after, Ichito and Kuki-nin, who were riding horses, chased Kurumi out of the city.

"Slow down! Slow down!"

Yi Dou sat on the horse in fear, holding on to the saddle with both hands.

It wasn't until A-Nin borrowed a horse that he realized he didn't know how to ride a horse.

There was no choice but to let A-nin take him on horseback.

Kuki Shinobu at the front was concentrating on controlling the horse and turned a deaf ear to Ichito's screams.

She had seen the general map of Liyue. Judging from the direction, Hutao should be going to the Layer Rock Abyss.

Combined with her serious and anxious expression, plus the news that Jiang Bai was in the Layer Rock Abyss, the conclusion is very obvious.

Something happened to Jiang Bai!

Although they didn't know what happened, as friends, it was absolutely impossible for them to turn a blind eye to it.

Seeing that Kurumi's horse was getting faster and faster, and his figure was no longer visible, Kuki-nin quickly increased his speed again.

"Hold on, boss!"

"what--"

Yi Dou's roar echoed in the mountains and forests.

He thought that after riding Jiang Bai's flying car, he would be able to adapt to such a small scene.

But he misunderstood. This bumpy and thrilling horse that was not under his control was much scarier than a flying car in the air.

Hundreds of miles flew by, and before reaching the rocky abyss, the horse was so tired that it sat directly on the ground and refused to run any more.

"Master, don't be impatient."

Zhongli comforted the anxious Hu Tao.

"I'm not anxious, I'm just very irritable. I don't know how to describe it..."

"Caring is messing up."

Hutao lowered his head in frustration.

She was really messed up.

In fact, the inexplicable irritability is not necessarily because of Jiang Bai. It may be that he was in a bad mood during those few days.

But when she thought about something happening to Jiang Bai, she became extremely irritable and couldn't feel at ease.

Zhongli stroked the horse, which was drinking water and eating grass. "Take a rest for a while. If you keep running like this, the horse will not be able to resist at first."

"Yeah." Hu Tao knew that it was useless to be anxious, so he could only sit down and calm down.

"Old man, what do you think is under the ground? Why would something happen to Jiang Bai..."

"Buried beneath the ground are past civilizations, with countless unknowns and dangers..."

There was a rush of horse hoofbeats, and Kuki Shinobu pulled the reins to stop. The horse beneath him showed a human expression of relief.

Yidou rubbed his butt and jumped off the horse. The horse was so bumpy that it hurt his butt.

"Why are you here?"

Seeing them, Hutao was a little surprised.

"Seeing that you were in a hurry, as if something had happened, we were worried that something had happened, so we quickly followed you. Boss, what happened?"

Warmth flowed through Hu Tao's heart, and her anxious mood was immediately soothed.

"I'm a little worried that something happened to Jiang Bai. I'm going to go to the Layer Rock Abyss to have a look."

Yidou gave himself a thumbs up, "Then you have to take me with you. I am very strong now!"

He was the one who was said to be the most invincible player in Hanakenzaka. Not even Kujo Sora dared to agree to a fight with him.

"Can you guess what happened?"

In the end, Kuki Shinobu is a bit more steady.

Jiang Bai's strength is well known, and any place where he can encounter a crisis must be extremely dangerous. Just a few of them may not have much effect.

Hu Tao shook his head, "I don't know, I just have a feeling that something happened to him."

"I see……"

"Hall Master, who are these two?" Zhongli looked at Hu Tao.

"Let me introduce you. This is Zhongli, our guest at the Rebirth Hall."

"These are the friends I made at Inazuma, Ichito Arataki and Shinobu Kuki."

"Happy to meet."

"So you are Mr. Zhongli, whose name I have admired for a long time."

Jiu Qinren had heard of Zhongli's name, mostly from Jiang Bai and Hu Tao.

Listening to these elegant words, Yidou looked at them blankly.

Should he also say something about his long-admired name?

When Zhongli looked over, he suppressed a sentence:

"me too."

"You two don't have to be restrained."

Hu Tao patted Zhongli and said, "Don't hold on to it. This is not a social occasion. They can't be polite."

Zhongli smiled helplessly and agreed.

"Do you need to contact other people?" Kuki looked at Walnut.

She was a little worried that there weren't enough of them.

Hu Tao shook his head, "We don't know what the underground is like, and it doesn't mean more people are useful."

She pointed at Zhongli with her lips raised, "As long as our guests are here, one of them is as good as ten."

Although Zhongli rarely takes action, he has never been seen using weapons.

But he has a charm that makes people feel at ease just looking at him.

And everyone is tacitly aware of his status as an immortal.

"The hall master is too famous."

Hutao stood on tiptoes and squeezed his shoulders, "My learned guest, please don't be humble. Neither I nor they have been to the bottom of the abyss. It will all depend on you when the time comes."

Outside the abyss, Sora and Paimon, who were sitting on a rock comfortably basking in the sun, saw a group of people galloping towards them on horseback.

"Huh? Aren't those Zhongli and Hutao? There's also Yidou and A-nin."

Idou and Kuki Nin had met Jiang Bai when he was still in Inazuma. Later, they met several times one after another, and they became familiar with each other.

"When did Yidou and the others come to Liyue? Why did they come to Juyuan? Even Zhongli is here..." Paimeng held his small chin with one hand, very confused.

Thinking of Jiang Bai and Mandrill who disappeared, Kong looked worried.

"I'm afraid something happened to Jiang Bai and Mandrill..."

Chapter 620: In a rocky place, outsiders stop

"The Abyss has not yet opened, and entry into the underground area is prohibited."

The Qianyan Army stationed here stopped Hutao and the others.

Hutao sat on the horse and looked at the Qianyan Army patrolling everywhere, feeling a little embarrassed.

When the seal of the Abyss was still there, there were not so many Qianyan Army stationed here. It is different now, especially at the mouth of the Abyss. However, a small group of Qianyan Army was stationed here to prevent anyone from entering the underground. .

There is no familiar person here, so it is definitely not possible to enter normally. I can only try to force my way in. As for what the consequences will be in the future, I can't control that much now.

Just when Hutao was thinking about how to take action to minimize the impact, Paimon flew over in a hurry.

"walnut!"

Seeing them, Hu Tao's eyes lit up.

"It's you!"

Jiang Bai sent her a message when he was underground, saying that Kong was also underground and a member of the official investigation team. He also complained that he could meet him anywhere.

Now that they are here, this identity can make a big fuss.

"We were invited by you to assist in the investigation, and now we are stopped."

Kong instantly understood the look Hu Tao gave him and came to the rescue.

"They are external explorers of our investigation team. They are all owners of the Eye of God. We are here to support them."

Immediately, Yi Dou scratched his head. He didn't know how he became a member of the investigation team, but he was very stubborn and didn't speak.

Talking nonsense can lead to bad things.

It's not familiar territory, so it's better to keep a low profile.

The leader of the Thousand Words Army glanced at several people. It was true that they were all owners of the Eye of God, and they also had the guarantee of the famous traveler, so there was no problem.

"Since they are members of your investigation team, we won't care. If anything happens, our investigation team will be responsible."

After speaking, he waved his hand and led his men out of the way.

After leaving the Qianyan Army's patrol area and arriving at a deserted and quiet place, Paimon asked about their purpose.

"Hutao, why are you here? What happened?"

Hu Tao looked worried, "I'm restless and a little worried that something happened to Jiang Bai."

Hearing this, Paimon suddenly became worried.

"It is indeed a bit strange. They should have been walking in front of us, but when we reached the deepest point, we only saw traces of the battle, not their figures, and there was no response when we called Mandrill."

At the time, I thought it was nothing, but now that I think about it, it might have been an accident.

"Describe to us the situation in detail." Zhongli said.

Paimon didn't hide anything. He told everything about the series of encounters and investigations from joining the investigation team, to meeting Jiang Bai, to going to the deepest place.

Facing Zhongli, concealing something might have a bad impact.

"The situation underground is really complicated, and there is actually the work of the Abyss Cult."

Hu Tao was speechless after hearing this.

Qianli's microphone has a cooling time, and most of the news Jiang Bai sent her was "the ground is so big", "he dug out a big piece of amber", "he prostituted a lot of high-grade good ores for nothing" and this kind of information has little information. On the contrary, very few serious things were said.

It's no wonder that Juyuan was banned. If it hadn't been banned, many miners would have been affected by the underground mutation.

"Through our efforts, the changes in the abyss have stopped. However, Khadif said that ordinary people are still not allowed to enter the depths, as it will affect their bodies. The General Affairs Department estimates that it will need to assess the dangers of the rock formations and draw safe The range will then be opened to the public again.”

"It's okay, we are not ordinary people." Yidou raised his arms and showed off his muscles.

"Okay, okay, I know you are a good herder."
