Chapter 620: What is there to be afraid of
It turned out that there really was such a terrifying giant snake in the abyss.
Just like the Yaksha was sealed under the abyss, these legends are not real legends, they are all real things, but because there are too few people who know about them, the records are not exhaustive, so they have become legends under the weathering of time.
She took out a pen and paper and wrote down the images in front of her and her own feelings into her journal.
While Zhiqiong was exploring the huge cavern, Sora and Paimon rushed all the way over.
Looking at the traces of battle still left in the cave, as well as the dismembered ruins of the giant serpent, Sora and Pai masked looked at each other.
"It seems that the problem here has been solved by them, and we don't need to do anything anymore."
"I think so. But where did they go? ”
Paimon looked around, and didn't find Jiang Bai and Xiao at all, but saw Zhiqiong.
She was holding the manuscript and was digging for some ore by the rock near the spike.
"Zhiqiong is there, let's go and ask."
"Zhiqiong!" Paimon flew towards her.
"It's you, seniors!"
"What are you doing?"
Zhiqiong showed them the ore he had just dug up.
This is a very strange ore, and the power of the abyss and the Sky Spike is engraved on this ore at the same time, leaving behind a whirlpool of inconsistencies but clear and distinct.
"What a special stone!"
Zhiqiong handed the stone to Sora, "Give it to you, senior, thank you for taking care of me along the way." ”
"Then I'll take it. How are you doing now? ”
"I'm fine, don't worry about me. All that's left is to map this place and we're done. ”
Paimon shook his little fist vigorously, "Yes! Let's do it! I'm already starting to miss the sun outside! ”
They have been underground for a long time, and it's okay to not see the sun once in a while, but after staying for a long time, they really miss the warm feeling of the sun shining on their bodies.
"Have you seen Jiang Bai?" Sora asked.
"No, that's how it was when I came. It should be Jiang Bai's predecessors who defeated this huge snake. ”
"You don't see it either...... So where did he go......"
Sora looked around, and there was no other way here.
After thinking about it, he shouted loudly:
"Xiao, can you hear me!"
After shouting for a while, there was no response, and Xiao did not appear.
"Strange ......" Sora frowned, feeling that something wasn't quite right.
Under normal circumstances, shouting Xiao would definitely come out, but this time he shouted for so long, and Xiao didn't react.
Did you go somewhere?
But it doesn't look like there's an entrance.
"It's kind of weird." Paimon couldn't figure it out, but he didn't think that much.
"But don't worry about them, let's finish the map first, and then go find Khedive and meet them."
"Hmm."
……
In the unknown space, Jiang Bai didn't see Xiao.
Although they came in one after the other, they couldn't be separated by a second, but they were separated.
He looked around, it was a huge cavern, surrounded by the same underground rock formations of the Great Abyss, except for some grass and trees, and the low plants that lived in the darkness all year round emitted a faint glow, so that the surroundings would not be out of sight.
"Where is this? What's going on down here? ”
Jiang Bai looked dazed.
Cave after cave, this abyss is inevitably too deep, this Teyvat underground can't really be hollow, right?
He touched the earrings on his ear, and before coming down, he sent a note to the hall master to find the location, and as usual, the hall master would message him back soon.
Now that a few minutes have passed, why hasn't there been any movement?
Or did you not receive it?
Jiang Bai didn't care too much, after all, the news could only be transmitted once in three days, and Hu Tao didn't reply every time.
As he walked, he called out Xiao's name.
"Xiao? Where are you? Do you hear that? ”
Since he came from Xiao before and after, Xiao shouldn't be too far away from him.
Xiao didn't appear, but the voice came, and his voice was a little annoyed:
"Why did you come down too?"
Jiang Bai crossed his waist and was confident: "You come down by yourself and don't take me, you are embarrassed to say." I promised Master to take you back well! ”
Fortunately, Master let him come along, otherwise I don't know how much of an impact this underground mutation would have had on Xiao, and if he died underground, the last Yaksha of Liyue would be gone.
"Where are you, can you sense my position by sound? Why aren't we in one place? Before Xiao could reply, Jiang Bai threw out a series of questions.
Xiao was silent for a while, but finally did not hide it.
Some things are better than being honest and keeping them hidden.
"The space was special, easy to get in but ...... out"
"What are you afraid of?" Jiang Bai didn't care about his unfinished words, "Isn't there still a master, if we don't go back for a long time, can the master sit idly by?" ”
They have come to the Great Abyss to report it, and Zhongli is here, and they are worried that something will happen to the territory of Liyue?
Besides, Hu Tao is still outside, if he can't be contacted, Hu Tao must know that something is wrong and will come to him as soon as possible.
There are people outside to answer, and it's okay to be trapped inside all the time, just wait for Hu Tao to bring the old man to catch them.
Xiao didn't seem to have thought of this possibility, and was silent for a while.
"How dare you bother the emperor?"
He came to the abyss to find a floating house, it was his private thought, how could he disturb the emperor because of his own selfishness?
The emperor is already sympathetic to let Jiang Bai accompany him, if he bothers the emperor to take action in person, won't he rely on the emperor's generosity?
Jiang Bai felt that Xiao was good at everything, but he just took himself too lightly.
When facing the emperor, he always subconsciously put himself in a very low position.
He felt that he was a [tool], a weapon that did not need to be poured into emotion, so he never dared to ask for too much.
Zhongli told Jiang Bai that this was related to Xiao's past experience, a kind of self-protection after suffering, and it had been the case for thousands of years.
Zhongli never used Xiao as a tool, he himself took himself too lightly.
Zhongli also wanted him to change, but there was nothing good to do.
It's good to look for him occasionally, but if he goes too much, it will only make him restrained, worrying about whether he has not done something well, whether he has disappointed the emperor, and whether there has been some abnormality in Dihuazhou.
He wouldn't have thought about whether the emperor had come to see him.
Zhongli could only let Jiang Bai go to the Wangshu Inn to visit Xiao more when he had nothing to do.
This time, Zhongli directly asked Jiang Bai to accompany him.
If this does not reflect the importance of attention, then what is the value of attention?
