Is there something wrong with playing Pokémon in Genshin Impact?

"Pattern~"

The serpentine bear found a gap, huddled up, and led the way.

Behind him, Ah Da looked at the gap in front of him that was so narrow that it could barely accommodate a person crawling through, and swallowed hard.

There was such a crack in such an evil place like the Layered Rock Chasm. He instinctively didn't want to get close to it. After all, no one could tell whether some monster would suddenly pop out or not, nor was it clear whether the place would suddenly collapse.

"Serpentine Bear, can you take out those crystal minerals one by one? It's okay if you take your time?"

Ada still wanted to struggle a bit, and it would be best if he could avoid going in.

The serpentine bear shook his head and began to gesture with his two little hands.

"You mean the crystals are too big for you to handle?"

A Da asked speculatively, and upon hearing this, the Serpentine Bear kept nodding.

At this moment, Ah Da's expression turned a little ugly. In terms of strength alone, the Serpentine Bear was undoubtedly much stronger than him, but the size of this little guy was a flaw, and he couldn't take any larger ores at all.

Ada was a little hesitant. He didn't want to go in, but after taking a look at the crystal ore in his pocket, his eyes suddenly became determined.

This kind of crystal ore is also unique to the Layered Abyss. It can emit light in a dark environment. Its price is much higher than that of ordinary crystal ore. It doesn't need to be much. As long as he can get ten pieces of this crystal ore this time, his whole family can live a worry-free life for a whole year.

"Damn it, let's fight!"

After whispering this, Ah Da curled up his body and crawled into the gap.

In front, the serpentine bear would make noises from time to time to remind Ada of the direction.

After twisting and turning all the way, Ah Da felt that his back was about to be worn out by the sharp rocks, but in front of him, a light source finally appeared. Ah Da's face lit up and he quickly crawled towards the light source.

But just as he was about to get close to the light source, Ada's mouth was suddenly covered by a furry hand.

Ah Da's heart skipped a beat, and he looked in the dim light and discovered that it was a serpentine bear. Its hair was standing on end and its spine was arched high, like a cat that had encountered its natural enemy.

Ah Da was stunned for a moment, he had never seen a serpentine bear like this before.

He followed the serpentine bear's line of sight and found that the cave outside the gap was filled with glowing crystal mines.

In addition to the crystal mines, there are countless corpses.

There were corpses of rock dragon lizards and baby rock dragon lizards. Ada even found the corpse of a dragon lizard that was much larger than the rock dragon lizard among the corpses. Ada didn't know what kind of monster it was, but it was obvious that it was much stronger than the rock dragon lizard.

The Rock Dragon Lizard is a dragon lizard species unique to Liyue. It is very powerful. Most holders of the Eye of God will try to avoid young dragon lizards, let alone a Rock Dragon Lizard that has been accumulated for a long time. That kind of monster is a disaster for ordinary holders of the Eye of God.

But at this moment, these horrible monsters were being slaughtered like pigs on a butcher's chopping board and placed together, and...

Ah Da couldn't help but glance at the huge dragon lizard corpse that was as big as a mountain. The monster just lying there made him feel scared.

At this moment, a sound suddenly came from the cave. The sound scared Ah Da so much that he quickly covered the mouth of the serpentine bear. At the same time, he couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen. He was so focused that he didn't even notice the helpless expression of the serpentine bear.

"Are the offerings ready?"

This was a cold female voice, which sounded soft but had a forced, cold tone.

"Your Highness, two hundred young dragon lizards, fifty rock dragon lizards, and the most important one ancient rock dragon lizard are all ready and piled up here."

This is a calm male voice.

Upon hearing this, Ah Da's eyes widened suddenly. He simply couldn't believe what he heard.

Three-digit dragon lizards were killed here. You know, so many dragon lizards gathered together could even cause the fall of any place in Liyue except Liyue Harbor. Ada even guessed that without any preparation, even Liyue Harbor would have to be in chaos for a while.

Moreover, there is an ancient rock dragon lizard.

Ah Da glanced at the mountain-like monster in fear. If he guessed correctly, this should be the ancient rock dragon lizard that the man mentioned. At this moment, the male voice sounded again. Ah Da quickly dispelled the messy thoughts in his mind and listened attentively.

"Excuse me, Princess, but I don't think it's a good opportunity for the Cult to attack Liyue now. The changes in Liyue are so great that I have to suspect that it's Mo... the Rock God who is doing something."

The male voice seemed to want to call Morax out of habit, but as soon as the words came out, they suddenly changed to Rock God.

"It doesn't matter. This is just a test. After all, the old man has lived for too long. People of his time have died or become disabled, but he is still alive and well. To be honest, I have some doubts as to whether he is still in his prime or just bluffing."

The cold female voice sounded again.

"Your Highness, why do you choose to test me at this time?"

"....." The female voice was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Some time ago, the Chi that was sealed by him in Qingce Manor was successfully released by us. At that time, his seal was in a shaky state, so I guess his current state is likely to be wrong. In addition, it was not him who solved the Chi later, but an unknown immortal, which further strengthened my thoughts."

"I understand."

After saying that, the male voice fell silent, and the female voice spoke again.

"That old thing has lived for too long, and many things about him are buried in the dust of history. This time, the cult has read a lot of ancient books and finally determined that this is the birthplace of the Ruotu Dragon King. It was here that the old thing brought the Ruotu Dragon King out when it was still a piece of stone and gave it intelligence. This time, we will use the corpses of many rock dragon lizards as sacrifices, communicate with the earth veins, and summon the phantom of the Ruotu Dragon King to see if the old thing is too old to walk, or is he luring the snake out of its hole."

The voice became increasingly distant, as if the woman who was speaking was leaving.

Hearing these words, Ah Da's face was filled with horror. He retreated cautiously, not daring to stop for a moment.

Chapter 78 The Sky Collapses

Fortunately, nothing clichéd like stepping on tree branches happened along the way, which made Ada finally put his mind at ease.

"Serpentine Bear, hurry up, run outside and give this letter to Lord Mu Ning, the person in charge of the Layered Rock Abyss that I told you about before we came here. Make sure you give it to him as quickly as possible."

Ah Da, who had escaped, quickly took out a pen and paper to write down what he had just seen and heard, then wrapped it in a purse and hung it around the neck of the serpentine bear. This matter was too big, and if it went wrong, perhaps everyone in the entire Layered Rock Abyss would have to stay here.

"Pattern~"

The snake-bear took the purse with a serious look on his face, and the next moment, his gray-white body almost turned into a flash of lightning and ran out. Seeing the snake-bear leave, Ah Da finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to follow the snake-bear and carefully retreat from the rock abyss. His speed was not as fast as the snake-bear, and if he waited until he sent the letter out, the daylily would be cold.

……

Mu Ning was in a good mood today, and even felt much more relaxed when giving Onix a bath.

This giant rock snake suddenly appeared in the abyss two days ago. Along with it, many strange creatures also appeared, such as a stone with arms and facial features, a stone tree with a face, a four-legged monster covered with a layer of iron, and a statue with a red nose pointing to the north.

I still remember that day, a miner came running over and said that these strange things appeared in the abyss.

At that time, Mu Ning thought that this guy was hallucinating because he was drunk. His face darkened and he wanted to ask the Qianyan Army stationed here to drag this drunk out to sober him up. But the next moment, the roof of the house he was in disappeared. A giant snake that was dozens of meters long and made entirely of rock grabbed the roof with its tail and looked at him innocently.

Mu Ning couldn't even describe his feelings at that time. He only remembered that he couldn't control his screaming.

After a long time, the Qianyan Army who came to deliver the message explained to him about the monsters.

It turns out that those monsters are called Pokémon, a kind of magical creatures that can coexist and grow with humans. They even have the ability to control elemental forces.

To be honest, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Mu Ning wouldn't have believed this nonsense. After finally calming down the rioting miners, Mu Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when he was about to go back and have a good rest, he suddenly found that the giant rock snake that scared him during the day was guarding his house, looking at him apologetically.

The pitiful look of "Hello everyone" directly touched Mu Ning's heart. He carefully stroked Onix's body, and when Onix saw that he was not angry, it happily rubbed his face with its head.

Just like that, Mu Ning got his first Pokémon in his life, the first Pokémon that was willing to follow him actively. Now he was waiting for the Poké Ball from Liyue Harbor to arrive so that he could completely conquer this big guy.

Mu Ning was holding a bucket and a mop in his hands, humming a little tune while brushing the body of the Onix.

Although this big guy looks scary, he is surprisingly afraid of water. It takes a lot of effort to give him a bath. Only Mu Ning can get close to the big guy with a bucket. Others can't get close at all.

Although this made Mu Ning proud, it was not a good thing. It also meant that he had to be the only one to give the big guy a bath. He was usually reluctant to give it a bath. It was because he was too tired. Today, he was in a good mood, so he pulled the big rock snake to give it a bath.

Mu Ning had just washed half of the mop when he heard a lot of footsteps coming from behind him.

This scared Mu Ning. After all, the Chasm was now full of Pokémon, and he had seen the power of those Pokémon. He once saw a small purple-skinned mouse bite off a tree trunk as thick as his calf with one bite. He didn't think he was much tougher than that tree trunk.

The Onix also curled up its body and protected Mu Ning.

The man and the snake stared closely at a gap behind them.

After a while, a dirty raccoon crawled out from the gap.

After the raccoon came out, it stood up and looked around. After seeing Mu Ning, its eyes lit up and it hurried over, holding up the purse in its hand, barking and gesturing with its hands.

"Are you... the snake-patterned bear from Ah Da?"

Seeing that the Serpentine Bear had no desire to attack, Mu Ning walked out from the protection of the Rock Snake and looked at the Serpentine Bear carefully.

After a while, he asked tentatively.

He was particularly impressed by Ada's Bearcat. On the one hand, it was because the little guy was so energetic and wanted to bite everything he saw. On the other hand, it was because Ada, this bastard, had been hiding his Bearcat from others before the Pokémon came into being. But after the Pokémon came into being, this bastard had completely let himself go and would show off his Bearcat and Poké Ball to others whenever he had the chance.

Even Mu Ning doesn't have such a rare thing as a Poké Ball.

Because of this, Mu Ning had a particularly deep impression of this serpentine bear.

Hearing Mu Ning's words, the snake bear's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly, while raising the pouch on his neck that was protected by him and not stained with any dust.

"Ada asked you to give it to me?"

Mu Ning took the purse with curiosity, wondering what that guy Ada could give him.

When he opened the purse, he immediately found a letter.

Mu Ning became even more curious. It seemed that Ada, that rough man, had nothing to do with letters.

He unfolded the letter and began to read, but the more he read, the uglier the expression on his face became. By the end, he was so horrified that his face had lost all trace and beads of sweat the size of beans were dripping down his forehead.

"Is this really what Ada asked you to give me?"

Mu Ning held the letter in his hand, his voice trembling.

There was no way. The things in the letter were too scary. He was just a small person in charge of the Layered Rock Abyss. He couldn't handle such a thing.

"Pattern pattern pattern."

Hearing Mu Ning's question, the Serpentine Bear nodded quickly.

Seeing the confident look on Serpentine Bear's face, Mu Ning felt a black screen in front of his eyes. If this was true, it would be like the sky falling.

Without having time to explain other things, he hurried into the residence, took out a talisman from the drawer of the table and tore it into pieces.

This is a thousand-mile communication talisman, an extremely rare item from the immortals. It is only because the Layered Rock Abyss is too important that this thing fell into his hands.

After the talisman was torn into pieces, the patterns on it flew out from the paper and pieced together into the shape of a mirror in the air. Then, Ningguang's incredibly beautiful face appeared in the mirror.

Chapter 79: The Emperor is not in the service area

"It's Mu Ning, what's the matter?"

Ningguang leaned back in the luxurious chair and asked seriously.

The Thousand Mile Communication Talisman is a genuine immortal talisman, and even she doesn't have many of them, so every time she uses it, it's extremely urgent. "Lord Ningguang, something big has happened in the Layered Rock Abyss!"

Sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, something big was about to happen.

As Mu Ning told the story of what happened in the Layered Rock Abyss, Ningguang's expression became increasingly ugly.

After Mu Ning finished explaining the contents of the letter, Ningguang's face had become so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping out of it.

"I understand. You should organize the miners to withdraw from the Layered Rock Abyss first. I will have the Thousand Rocks Army arrive there immediately."

After saying that, Ningguang directly cut off the connection with Mu Ning and took a few deep breaths.

At this moment, she finally connected all the things that had happened recently.

The last time the Liyue Harbor Bridge collapsed, she sent someone to check it out. The final conclusion was that there was something wrong with the dragon lizard, and the dragon lizard that caused the trouble had been killed by the Qianyan Army and Master Hu of the Wangsheng Hall.

At that time, she thought that the man was playing a trick on her. Dragon lizards are not brainless monsters. They even had their own civilization. So on weekdays, these dragon lizards would never approach Liyue Port, nor would they approach the various cities of Liyue. It was not known whether this was a contract they signed with the Emperor in ancient times, or because they understood the dangers inside Liyue.

The last time a dragon lizard entered the city was a hundred years ago. A newborn rock dragon lizard mistakenly entered Qingce Manor, and was knocked unconscious by the garrisoned Qianyan Army and sent to the wild.

How could it be such a coincidence this time that twice in a row it was the dragon lizard that caused trouble.

Even though she didn't want to believe it, Ningguang had to believe it after seeing the corpse of the baby rock dragon lizard.

She had never understood why the dragon lizards were running around like crazy.

But now, everything made sense. The members of the Abyss Cult were frantically hunting dragon lizards in the wild, causing the dragon lizards to flee everywhere. Some dragon lizards accidentally broke into Liyue Harbor in a panic.

And those lunatics of the Abyss Cult, their goal is to communicate with the phantom of the Dragon King Rudra in the earth veins in order to attack Liyue.

It is rare for people in Liyue not to know what kind of existence the Dragon King Ruota is. The storytellers in Liyue recite the story of the Emperor every day, and her ears, who usually don't like to go to the teahouse to listen to stories, are almost callused from listening to them.

That ancient dragon king can definitely be regarded as the Emperor’s greatest enemy and also Liyue’s greatest enemy.

After hearing the crazy ideas of the Abyss Cult, even Ningguang was a little panicked at this moment.

"Bai Wen, prepare to invite the immortals to the Qun Yu Pavilion. Bai Xiao, invite Keqing and Tian Shu."

The Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals is a channel of communication with the Emperor. The annual Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals has been a tradition of Liyue for thousands of years.

The Emperor himself is elusive, and if something important suddenly happens and we can't contact him, then there will be problems.

So in order to deal with this matter, the Emperor and a group of immortals specially made a simplified ritual to invite the immortals, which was specifically used for the Seven Stars to communicate with Morax.
