"Huh? What is it? ”

After the black mud subsided, Jiang Bai found a backpack.

Judging by the logo on the backpack, it looks like a Fatui.

Jiang Bai opened it and saw that some of the things originally contained in the backpack had already been polluted, and he couldn't see the original shape clearly, but there was a journal that could vaguely distinguish the words from it.

【…… Sergeant Anton found a large bell in the southeast... The words "them" are written on the rock wall......】

【…… It's similar to the Dazhong that the captain saw in the ruins in the northwest.,Maybe there's some connection between that......]

[Send two people to ring the big bell in the ruins respectively......]

[A terrible whistling sound echoed across the rock walls, and the black mist dissipated the strange phenomenon that was difficult to explain...... It seems to be announcing whose appearance ......]

【… Ten people were killed, and the two vanguard squads suffered heavy losses, and the captain ordered an immediate retreat......]

A simple map slipped out of the journal, drawn by the Fatui soldiers while they were investigating here.

Closing the log, Jiang Bai sighed.

When the Chasm was in danger, Solstice sent a number of soldiers down to help Liyue, and one of them left this log behind.

It's hard to judge a country by its mere goodness or badness.

But there is one thing, Solstice has always been on the side of humanity.

When it comes to fighting the abyss, they can be trusted.

Jiang Bai picked up the map and looked at it, then looked up at the inverted ruins above.

"There's a big clock in this ruin......"

He hadn't noticed it when he had wandered around the ruins before.

He can't be blamed for this, after all, a person's attention span is limited, and this ruins are an entire palace, and it is not so easy to explore.

Jiang Baijiang's fragments of the Cold Sky Nail were put down on the spot, looking at the black mist that still showed no signs of dissipating.

It is clear that the Nail of the Cold Sky is useless against the Black Mist.

He returned to the ruins with his journal and map to find Xiao.

"Look for a big bell in this palace, and I'll go and look at the ruins in the southeast direction mentioned in this log."

"Okay."

Jiang Baishun's map came to the ruins in the southeast.

Compared to the same rock walls, there is much more color around this ruin.

Flowing water, vegetation, flowers, and even small animals live in it.

Jiang Bai sighed with emotion.

Even in such a difficult place where the sun has never been seen, there is a civilization that once existed brilliantly.

He took a closer look at the ruins.

This ruin is the same as the upside-down ruin, both in terms of architectural style and carved patterns.

It is clear that they are from the same civilization.

Jiang Bai was a little concerned about the "them" written in the log.

Who exactly are they referring to?

Does it refer to this civilization?

Or is it something else?

Jiang Bai was also unsure whether the black mist was created by the people who belonged to this relic civilization, or if it was the arrangement made by the later people using the two large bells.

And no one has been able to answer the question of exactly when black mud appeared.

It is possible that they were born from the Dark Calamity five hundred years ago, or they may have been hiding beneath the Abyss much earlier, until the hedron was dug up by the miners and gradually exposed to the human eye.

Perhaps these questions will be answered when the black fog is dispelled.

"Boom-"

As the log calls for a terrifying howl.

Xiao had found the bell.

Jiang Bai sped up and found the big bell that was buried in black mud.

Jiang Bai took a closer look at the words on the bell, even though the bronze bell was rusty, the words on it were still clearly visible.

But unfortunately, he didn't know a word of these words.

After taking pictures of the column, Jiang Bai rang the bell.

As the bell echoed, an invisible wave seemed to spread.

He quickly returned to the black fog, only to see the black fog dissipate, and the scene inside was also exposed.

Two tall Apostles of the Abyss walked out of it, carrying huge rings on their backs, unlike ordinary Abyss Apostles.

There are dangerous fluctuations emanating from them.

It was these two Abyss Apostles who caused the Fatui squad that had come here to suffer heavy losses and had to retreat urgently.

"Who are you?"

"This is forbidden land, why do the wicked trespass?"

Seriously, Jiang Bai was a little disappointed when he saw these two Abyss Apostles.

I thought that there would be something in the black mist, which could be the culprit for causing such a serious pollution in the abyss here, but it turned out to be two abyss apostles?

"Humph! I am the brother of Your Highness [Princess], and I have not seen the courtesy when you see me? ”

Hearing this, the two Abyss Apostles glanced at each other, both a little confused.

They have been here for a long time, and the pollution of the Great Abyss has been planned for many years.

Does Her Royal Highness have blood relatives? They don't know very well.

And this person doesn't seem to bear any resemblance to Her Royal Highness the Princess.

To be on the safe side, they didn't attack in the first place.

"You dispel the black fog, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to take over this area, why, you haven't heard from you?"

Jiang Bai's lies came easily, and he put on a full posture, not having stage fright at all.

It would be best if you could fool these two abyss apostles and get any news from them, and if they were discovered, it would be fine, and it would be a big deal.

It's just two abyss apostles, can they still turn the sky upside down?

"Take over? Why? ”

"The [Loom of Fate] project seemed too dangerous to me, and it wasn't very successful, but she wouldn't listen to me. There's no way, if you're an older brother, you naturally have to cover for your sister.

"The abyss is quite effective in polluting the Tiannail, and I am ready to try to use the connection between Tianli and Tianmu to directly pollute Tianli through Tiannail......"

Jiang Bai's face was serious, as if he was really a good brother who wanted to support his sister.

He currently knows the name of the plan [Loom of Destiny], and he doesn't know what the specific content is, but it doesn't prevent him from using it to bluff people.

"It's not that easy." One of the Abyss Apostles shook his head.

"The energy of the Heavenly Spike is very strong, and under the law of Teyvat, it has a strong suppressive effect on our forces.

"If it weren't for the fact that [Heavenly Principles] had fallen into a state of weakness, the pollution of the abyss would not have spread so quickly. But even so, the Sky Spike has not been eroded by us. ”

Jiang Bai frowned.

Heavenly Reason has entered a state of weakness?

No wonder the Ice Empress dared to jump like this, it turned out that Tianli now had insufficient control over Teyvat.

This information was a real surprise.

The next time you encounter this kind of abyss, the apostle can follow suit.

"How so? Are you sitting here and doing nothing? Jiang Bai looked at them, his eyes full of doubts.

The Fire Abyss Apostle's eyes narrowed, "Since you have come to take over this place, why are we here, you don't know?" ”
