Chapter 3 Zhongli: I knew I shouldn't be so ruthless in the first place

The place of the ban.

Hundreds of Thousand Rock troops were ordered to come here.

The entrance to this mountain stream is surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.

Prevent other people who do not know the truth from entering this place by mistake.

But in fact, they also belong to the group of talents who don't know the truth.

Within a few dozen minutes of the purple mist appearing in the sky here, they were urgently summoned by the Seven Star Lord to seal off this place, and until now they didn't even know what was going on inside.

"Hey, this Millelith brother, do you know what's going on inside?" A merchant asks a Millelith at the front of the line.

He has a shipment to pass through here today, and now it's sealed, and he needs to understand what's going on so that he can make a decision.

"Don't look, don't ask, Lord Seven Stars' orders, don't speculate."

Seeing the attitude of the Millelith Army, the merchant also understood that this matter was extraordinary, so he could only ask the man to send the goods back and wait for the matter to be resolved here.

"The eldest brother of the Millelith Army has worked hard, and the younger brother will leave."

This happened in other places as well, and the merchants could only consider themselves unlucky.

Above the clouds, the Yellow Dragon transformed into the Rock King Emperor hovered over the forbidden land.

Quickly purifying these filthy clouds with elemental power.

The demon dragon he was waiting for had not yet appeared, and although there had been a vision in the sky, the undead demon dragon did not seem to have fully awakened.

"It's a strange thing, it's clear that it should be able to last about three years from the limit of the seal, why is it broken now?" Morax stroked his beard in the air.

He himself knew that hovering in the air all the time would not eradicate the vision, and the root of the vision was still the sleeping dragon, but it was too conspicuous to go down with the dragon, and his personal dispatch would definitely cause a small panic in the city.

After much thought, Morax decided to enter the forbidden land from the sky as Zhongli.

After transforming into a human form, Zhongli fell straight like a rocket towards the ground.

Inside the Forbidden Land.

The original mountain stream with beautiful mountains and rivers has completely disappeared.

The entire mountain stream felt as if it had fallen into a large dye vat with a rough mix of black and purple.

In the cracks of the mountain rocks, black snake-like creatures are eating away at the mountain little by little, and the two huge mountain rocks in the mountain stream are gnawed by the potholes, like honeycombs, on the verge of collapse.

There were fish in the black stream struggling desperately, their bodies melting little by little, and then choking.

And that's just part of the filth that gushes out of that cavern.

The real root is still asleep in the ground, not yet awakened.

If it weren't for the reassuring quality of those five stone wedges, the situation would have been even worse.

But the current situation is probably worse in a sense, because the seal has only been partially broken, and the dragon of filth is unconsciously releasing filth in its sleep.

Without active control, the pollution is now even more uncontrollable.

And Zhongli, who has already landed, is at this time

Although several ridges have been erected on the periphery of the mountain stream to curb the spread of filth, it is a drop in the bucket for the filth that spreads all over the mountains.

After some thought, Zhongli decided on the craziest solution.

It is up to him to unleash the dragon and control the filth.

He could only hope that the demon dragon had gone through 500 years and that its strength had declined.

Or maybe the layout of the year has made his mind obsessed with mortal stories, and he is no longer only thinking about destruction and destruction.

With this in mind, Zhongli flew into the air and came to the huge cave that sealed the demon dragon.

I saw that a black lake had formed in the cave at this moment, and the foul and cold filthy mud was constantly churning in it, and the purple light could be faintly seen beating like a heart

Above the lake, there were five wedges that had been broken, the surface almost covered in black silt, but still stubbornly shimmering.

"It's a terrible erosion, 500 years of time doesn't seem to have depleted his ability, it seems that he can only hope that the original layout will be effective."

Zhongli now had no choice but to forcibly destroy the wedge and release the dragon, and if he still had the same heart as before, he could only recast the wedge with half of Liyue's mineral deposit and seal him again.

Zhongli waved his hand in the air, and in an instant, dozens of huge rock ridges broke from under the ground to encircle the filthy land, and a solid barrier surrounded the surface of the rock ridge.

This is also a kind of guarantee, in order to ensure that after the demon dragon wakes up, it will not run away in the first place.

"Alright, everything is ready, let's get started."

As Zhongli's magnetic voice fell, countless stone pillars around him towered, condensing into rock spears, and directly hitting the five wedges with an unrivaled might.

Hundreds of rock spears slammed back and forth against the stone wedge like flying swords, grinding the stone wedge little by little.

Because these five stone wedges are, after all, the pinnacle creation of his heyday, even if it has undergone five hundred years of filth and erosion, it is still not something that can be destroyed at will.

"Looks like I won't be able to drink that pot of hot tea." Zhongli said helplessly.

Then his arms were wrapped around the golden elemental force, causing the earth to create more rock spears and join the team.

The people outside the forbidden place could only hear the deafening sound of the mountain falling inside, but they did not cause much commotion, because these were just fun conversations for their experienced old fritters.

Some businessmen have even begun to discuss the possibility of some rare deposits waiting to be discovered after the geological changes in the interior.

In the future, I can make a lot of money.

And out of the bustling crowd, a fat man suddenly rushed out and wanted to storm the encirclement of the Millelith Army.

"Skinny monkey!! Quick, let me in, my brother is still inside!! "That fat man was knocked to the ground by the Millelith Army on the periphery.

But the words still attracted the attention of some people.

From the array on the left side of the Millelith Army, a purple-haired girl in a gorgeous dress with a double ponytail walked out.

From the four Millelith soldiers who followed behind him, he could roughly judge the identity of this girl.

"Lord Seven Stars." The fat man trembled and leaned down.

"Stand up and speak, I heard, you know what's going on inside, I want to know what you see and hear inside, word for word."

"Yes."

Inside the forbidden grounds.

After three hours of hard work, Zhongli finally smashed the five wedges completely, and the huge stones that fell caused waves in the black lake below.

"Time is faster than expected, but it is enough to judge that the strength of that demon dragon has barely declined, and has even become stronger." Zhongli raised his hand and struggled to wipe the sweat that didn't exist.

"If that's the case, then I'm sure you'll need to notify Liyue Seven Stars in advance and let them evacuate the people."

But if he commanded the Seven Stars as Emperor of the Rocks, his decades-long plan to keep the people in control of Liyue would be in vain.

"That's it, big deal, start over." Zhongli said a faint word, and prepared to leave to mobilize the mineral deposits under the end of the moon to recondense the wedge.

Thundered.

In an instant, the rocks toppled over, and streams of black silt erupted from the ground, blocking Zhongli's path from leaving.

And in the black lake behind Zhongli.

A pair of dazzling eyes like amethysts were staring at the young man in gorgeous clothes on the shore through the thick mud.

"This, human, breath, nasty." Maybe it's because I haven't opened my mouth and thought about how to speak in nearly 500 years, so I stutter a little now.

And Zhongli, who was on the shore, felt the hostility behind him, and his face became very difficult to look at.

This really doesn't leave him a way back.

In the thousands of years that the emperor has been alive, it is the first time he has encountered such a tricky opponent.

If you can't beat it, the seal will be eroded, and it can't be done once and for all.

And now the situation is the hardest.

It takes time to condense the wedge, but now that the dragon has fully awakened, by the time he makes the wedge, Liyue will probably be gone.

"Did the layout of the year fail, it seems that today, there must be a break between you and me."
