The cave entrance is very large, with rock walls on both sides. The ground is covered with moss, probably due to the heavy moisture.
"There is only one road ahead. It should be right to go forward."
Li Qiuzhi observed the surroundings and said.
"Then let's go. The water element is so heavy here. If nothing unexpected happens, it should breed many water elemental life forms like water slimes. Let's be careful."
Keqing reminded.
Although Li Qiuzhi is very powerful now, he will not let his guard down. This is the ruins of the Salt Demon after all, and it is difficult to predict any danger.
In such a dangerous matter, he cannot blindly believe the situation presented in the original book, which can only be used as a reference.
The two kept walking forward, and after a while, they found a lake in the cave. There were indeed many water slimes jumping around on the water.
"Look, there's a cave over there. That should be the former Kingdom of Salt! Let's go over and take a look."
Li Qiuzhi and Keqing did not waste time on these water slimes. They walked quickly along a stone path across the lake and came to the entrance of the cave.
This stone road should have been used by the people of the former Salt Kingdom for travel.
After using their mental power to sense and discovering that there was no danger inside, Li Qiuzhi and Keqing walked into the cave.
There were steps leading down inside the cave, and the two of them walked down slowly without hesitation.
Because of the torch mechanism, the inside of the cave did not seem dark. After more than ten seconds, the two men walked down the last step.
Then I was shocked by what I saw before my eyes!
The ground was paved with endless salt crystals, and even the walls were covered with salt crystals. There were also many human-shaped salt crystal statues, all of which were in the shape of madly fleeing.
The charm is so lifelike, as if they were real people.
In fact, there is no doubt that these human-like statues are real people, but they are the salt people thousands of years ago, those who did not have time to escape from the salt disaster.
They were submerged and assimilated by the endless salt crystals that erupted when the Salt Demon died, and turned into statues made of salt crystals.
"The power that overflows after the death of the demon god can destroy an entire country. It's really terrifying!"
Keqing said with emotion.
What is described in history books is still not as shocking as seeing it with one's own eyes.
"Indeed." Li Qiuzhi nodded in agreement. "I heard that the Salt Demon God is one of the weaker demon gods."
He and Keqing continued walking forward while chatting about the story of the Salt Demon.
We didn't encounter any monsters along the way. After all, it is difficult for any creature to survive for thousands of years in an environment with such a high salt concentration.
Unless it is a disembodied undead spirit.
But it is obvious that as mortals, the Salt People are not even qualified to become undead under the impact of the power of the demon.
So Li Qiuzhi and Keqing began to explore the ruins of the Salt Demon without any trouble. Apart from the salt crystal statues that looked a bit scary, they did not encounter any monsters or the like.
It has been eroded by such high concentrations of salt for thousands of years.
Basically, apart from a few things such as murals and stone products, it is difficult for anything to be preserved intact.
It would be more valuable to keep these items of little significance for archaeologists to study in the future.
The two of them explored for a long time, and only Keqing took out her notebook to record the situation in the mysterious realm of Salt Demon along the way, and gained some results.
Li Qiuzhi had nothing left except his shoes covered in salt crystals.
More than ten minutes later, they came to a room that was nothing special. There was a stone table with an ordinary stone cup on it, which was half filled with salt.
Anyone else would have thought it was just an ordinary cup filled with half a cup of salt.
But Li Qiuzhi knew that this was a cup that possessed some of the power of the Salt Demon. No matter how you poured the half of the salt in the cup, there would always be half of it!
In other words, this cup is filled with endless salt and is a real artifact!
"Why do you want to take this cup?" Keqing found that Li Qiuzhi was staring at the cup on the stone table intently, and asked with some confusion.
"This is no ordinary cup."
Li Qiuzhi gave Keqing a brief introduction.
"You said this is a divine weapon?!"
Keqing couldn't believe it because it was too ordinary. Even she, who usually didn't judge people by appearance, felt that it was plain and had no special features.
"Although it's ordinary, my perception won't be wrong."
After Li Qiuzhi confirmed that there was no danger, he stepped forward, took the ordinary stone cup in his hand, and then tilted it in front of Keqing.
The salt inside poured out and soon formed a small mountain in front of the two men.
But even so, the cup still poured out salt crystals at the same speed, with no sign of decreasing.
Looking at this scene, Li Qiuzhi was secretly delighted. He knew that he had found the real thing, and all the time he spent along the way was not in vain!
"Okay, okay, stop pouring it or it'll overflow!"
Keqing looked at the salt mountain that was getting higher and higher, and quickly reminded Li Qiuzhi.
At the same time, he was also very surprised that there was actually endless salt in this cup. If this cup was taken out, the entire continent of Teyvat would have no shortage of salt!
Please give me a monthly ticket, thank you for your support!
Thanks to "西行樱in front of Baiyulou" for the reward of 3500 coins!
Chapter 408 Heulia Salt Crystal (Two in One)
"If you want to use this artifact to sell salt to make money, you can't do that. It will disrupt the relevant market and cause many people to lose their jobs!"
Keqing looked at Li Qiuzhi nervously.
With an unlimited supply of salt, it is indeed possible to make a lot of money, but doing so would have a big impact on the current stable market environment.
She didn't want Li Qiuzhi to do this.
“Of course I won’t do that, selling salt or something is too much trouble.
"I am now one of the major shareholders of the Sweet Flower Chamber of Commerce. I can earn money without doing anything. I can just let Miss Ningguang lead the way in making money. I only keep it for collection."
Li Qiuzhi shook his head, indicating that he would not abuse this "cup that is always half full of salt."
I think in the original work, Zhongli sealed the two artifacts in the sea of Guyun Pavilion, also considering the impact of such abuse of miracles on the continent of Teyvat.
"That's good." Keqing breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Li Qiuzhi promised not to abuse this magical weapon, we can rest assured that there is no problem with his character.
[Keqing develops a crush on you, gaining 240 points of crush, current crush level Lv.6 (100/600)]
Li Qiuzhi put away the artifact in his hand, then smiled at Keqing and said:
"Let's continue exploring this ruin for a while, go deeper and see if there is anything else we can find."
Keqing had no objection to this as it was still early.
Taking a closer look at the remains of the Salt Demon God can help you gain more experience.
When the salt disaster broke out, the people of the salt fled frantically.
Therefore, as long as you walk behind those salt crystal statues, you can lead to the depths of the ruins.
Li Qiuzhi also remembered that in the original book, after the travelers found the first artifact, they soon found the second artifact.
As long as he pays attention, there is a high probability that he will not miss it.
High concentration of salt, silence, and darkness are the characteristics of this demon ruins.
The soles of their shoes stepped on the stone ground, making a slight sound which was particularly obvious in such a quiet environment. If they were ordinary adventurers coming here to adventure,
During the adventure, you will also see something as terrifying as a human-shaped salt crystal statue. You will probably run away after walking a few steps.
If you don't have some knowledge about this place, you still have strong strength to rely on!
To be honest, Li Qiuzhi was also afraid.
The girl's long purple hair gently caressed her soft white back, and the hem of her short skirt trembled slightly as her legs wrapped in tight black silk stockings swayed back and forth.
After a while, the two came to a large room again.
There is also a stone table here with a shelf on it and a stone ruler placed horizontally on the shelf. This ruler is the same as the cups just now.
Apart from some patterns, there is nothing special about it.
"No way, is this happening again..." Keqing was speechless as she looked at the familiar scene.
"Well, this ruler gives me the same feeling as the cup just now. It should also be a divine weapon."
Li Qiuzhi's eyes lit up slightly, the main purpose of coming to the Salt Demon Ruins has been achieved.
"In that case, you should put it away. If this kind of artifact involving the power of salt is held by others, there is a risk of abuse."
Keqing crossed her arms and thought for a moment before saying.
"Well, I will keep it well and never give anyone the chance to abuse it." Li Qiuzhi smiled and took two steps forward to take the stone ruler in his hand.
He remembered that the effect of this ruler was that when it was inserted into the ground, countless salt crystals would grow on the ground, which were much more powerful than the cup mentioned above.
Do you want to try it? Li Qiuzhi took the ruler and thought of inserting it into the ground to see the effect.
"."
Forget it. He was not that curious. The space here was so small that the salt crystals growing from the ground would easily stain their clothes.
You can try again later when you have time.
Li Qiuzhi took the "ruler that can grow salt crystals when inserted into the ground" back into the fairyland space, and then said to Keqing:
"My spiritual power senses that the end of the ruins is not far ahead. Perhaps that is where the Salt Demon was assassinated by her people. Let's go and take a look."
"Okay, let's go back after exploring. I will ask some historians and archaeologists to come over and study it. After all, the Kingdom of Salt is an ancient civilization that existed during the Demon God War.
"We need to record the humanities and culture of this civilization, so that the description of the Salt Country in school history textbooks will no longer be just a few words."
Keqing feels that it is more meaningful to let the ancient salt civilization be known to people today than to obtain the two artifacts.
“That makes sense. As far as I know, some descendants of the Salt People who escaped the salt disaster are still living in Liyue. They don’t know that the Salt Demon God was assassinated by his own people. They always thought that it was Prince Yan who did it.
"When the truth of this matter comes to light, it will clear Prince Yan's grievances."
Li Qiuzhi sighed, and he and Keqing slowly walked to the deepest part of the ruins.
This is also a relatively large space, with both sides filled with snow-white salt crystals, except for the middle. In the middle of the room, there is a salt crystal statue, holding something in both hands and thrusting forward violently.
In front of him there was only a small pile of salt crystals quietly piled up.
The ground with it as the center seemed to have a huge wind source that exploded in all directions, and except for the small pile of salt crystals in the middle, all other salt crystals were pushed away.
There are also several statues around that look like they have seen something horrible and are running away frantically.
However, looking at the movements of the statues, it is clear that they might have just turned around and started to run when they turned into salt crystals and were buried at the end of these unknown ruins.
"It looks like this is the source of the salt disaster." Keqing looked at the scene and said while touching her fair chin.
The movements of these salt crystal statues are so obvious that it is not difficult to guess.
"Well, if I'm not mistaken, the only thing left of the former Salt Demon God is the pile of slightly special salt crystals in the middle."
Li Qiuzhi said, recalling the information in the original work.
Compared to what he saw through the screen at that time, now seeing it up close with his own eyes, he found that the pile of salt crystals formed from the remains of the Salt Demon seemed to be a little whiter than the ordinary salt crystals around it.
Hiss, it is the body of a demon after all. Could it be some rare treasure?
He thought of collecting this pile of salt as a treasure. Instead of leaving it here where someone might kick it away one day, it would be better to take it back to the fairyland and enshrine it there to make use of its remaining value.
Li Qiuzhi thought this was a good idea.
"Turned into salt? Could it be that the true form of this Salt Demon God is some special natural spirit, a salt spirit?" Keqing said with her eyes slightly widened, puzzled.
"Salt elves, uh, are there really such things?"
Li Qiuzhi felt a little strange.
"I don't know. Anyway, the world is so big that it's possible for any strange creatures to appear."
Keqing shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either, it was just a guess.
"Is that so? Well, I'll collect this pile of white salt crystals as well, so that this gentle and kind demon god won't be left without a place to live after he passes away."
