Chapter 135: Decay (Today's Addition)
It was another peaceful night, and the next morning, the three of them set off again.
Today we are about to enter Qingxupu, an area with a large number of ancient ruins.
It used to be a very prosperous gathering place, but now it is devastated.
A deserted castle tower that stands between the green pools. Now he still guards the proud past that has long since turned to dust.
"Be careful, there have been a lot of monsters here lately."
The three of them led the horses, the terrain here is really not suitable for horse riding, and everyone can't just give up the horses, they can only lead them.
"If you're talking about the monsters are those hilichurls, don't be careful, they're already here!"
Soon after entering Qingxupu, the three of them encountered the first wave of attacks, a robbery team composed of more than a dozen hilichurls.
"Not even the King of the Rock Helm, who gave you the guts to attack us?"
He didn't even move his feet in a disorderly manner, just waved his hand casually, and the rock spear nailed the hilichurl thugs who rushed to the front to the ground, and then the remaining hilichurls scattered in a hurry.
"It's like it's funny." Bored and complained, Wang Daoyi led the horse and followed behind Xingqiu.
"That's because we are strong enough, the robbery team of a dozen hilichurls is already a very big threat to some ordinary caravans, if there are not enough guards, they need to leave some supplies behind before they can escape."
As the second young master of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, Xingqiu was very aware of the threat of these hilichurl thugs, for them weak monsters, for ordinary people, it was a very dangerous existence.
"Ha, these hilichurls can not only reproduce normally, but can also be born from the leylines, maybe it can be suggested that Ningguang send the Millelith Army over to sweep it every once in a while, not only to make the caravan safer, but also to train soldiers." With a wave of his hand, Wang Dao dispersed the rock spear and did not continue to attack the fleeing hilichurls.
"Originally, the Millelith Army has been sweeping, but recently Tianquan Star has dispatched a large number of Millelith troops to target the Fatui field camp, so these monsters have been active again."
Xingqiu answered Wang Daoyi's question and explained why there were monsters here to rob passers-by.
"Ha, are there so many Fatui camps that the Millelith Army doesn't have the strength to sweep away the monsters?"
With a look of incredulity, Wang Daoyi didn't know whether to praise the Fatui for having many camps, or to complain about the poor action of the Millelith Army.
"Of course, it's not just the Fatui thing, Seven Stars also sent a lot of alchemists to follow a certain high-level of the General Affairs Department into the underground of the Stranded Abyss, and a few generals took people to the Lonely Cloud Pavilion to clean up the sea monsters, so it caused a shortage of manpower."
Chongyun followed at the back and picked up Wang Daoyi's words.
"Hmm, it seems that there have been a lot of things going on in Liyue lately." Wang Daoyi said a word, thinking in his heart, should he give the Millelith Army a wave of strengthening, with his current level of alchemy, get some equipment for the Millelith Army, which can greatly strengthen the combat effectiveness of the ordinary Millelith Army.
"Wait and ask Ningguang and Keqing, if it's really tight, I'm making a move, otherwise I can't be a good person in vain!"
Taking note of this thought, Wang Daoyi continued to lead the horse forward.
I have to say that the road of Qingxupu is really difficult to walk, all kinds of twists and turns, and all kinds of puddles of all sizes make it difficult to walk.
It took a whole day, and the three of them only walked a small halfway, and it seemed that it would take a while to get out of here.
·······
It took another two days, and finally on the fifth day after going out, they walked out of Qingxupu, and the three of them came to the entrance of the Chasm.
As soon as he approached the entrance to the Chasm, he was stopped by the Millelith Army stationed there.
Wang Dao had a slight solemnity in his eyes, as there were less than thirty Millelith troops stationed in such an important place as the Chasm, it seemed that Liyue's recent manpower was really tight.
"Thousand rocks are firm and unmovable!"
"This is the Chasm area, currently in semi-lockdown, please tell us who you are and what you are here for!"
The Millelith Army, armed with a white tassel gun, looked at the three-person squad with a serious face.
"Captain Tiehong, it's me, Xingqiu, we're here to investigate the attack on the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce." Xingqiu stepped forward, greeted one of the Millelith Army, and took out a document from his arms, "This is a special document approved by the General Affairs Division. ”
"Oh, it's Young Master Xingqiu." The tall Millelith Army took the document in Xingqiu's hand, read it carefully, and only after confirming that it was not a forged document did he smile, "I'm sorry, the Layer Chasm has been very dangerous recently, so it must be checked carefully." ”
Then he beckoned and let the Millelith behind him let go of a passage.
"Three, you can go in, remember, don't go into the Chasm, it's dangerous right now." The Commander of the Millelith Army admonished, and then showed a relieved smile, "However, you can't enter either, those Fang Shi and Qixing have placed a large number of bans and sealed the entrance. ”
[That's not necessarily]
Xingqiu looked at Wang Daoyi and Chongyun beside him, and felt that if everyone wanted to enter the underground of the Strata Abyss, they should be able to do it.
Without refuting the Millelith Commander's words, the trio left their horses in the Millelith camp and walked into the Chasm area.
At the first glance of the Chasm, Wang Dao instantly remembered that he had read some books about the Chasm.
"When I first came here, I was stunned to see such a miraculous and terrifying landscape... I have never forgotten the shock and awe I felt at that time."
This miraculous pit has supported Liyue's development for thousands of years and has never been exhausted.
Like a huge spiral, the strata chasm has an extremely peculiar landform, and the three of them walk on the road to the surface mining area, and from time to time there are tracks buried on the surface around them.
"The Chasm is the border between Liyue and Sumeru, and most of the Liyue caravans and Sumeru caravans travel through the caves and tunnels of Dansha Cliffs, except for maritime trade."
"The place we are going to is the Dansha Cliff Tunnel, where there was also an attack, which was discovered by the Millelith Army during their patrol and told us about the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce."
"It was also the attack here that made many people in the Chamber of Commerce think that the Fatui were attacking us."
Xingqiu's voice was a little cold, yesterday's confession of the Fatui debt handler had already proved that someone was provoking the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and the Fatui.
And the debt handler's sentence 'I suspect that the person who came to inspect before deliberately destroyed the scene' made Xingqiu think of something that he had ignored before.
"It seems that Xingqiu has thought of something interesting." Wang Daoyi looked at Xingqiu's grim face and said pointedly.
"Of course, yesterday's Fatui reminded me that if it wasn't the Fatui who did it, it was probably our own hands, after all, those who should be swept into the garbage heap also have the technology to use the dregs of the demon god."
"Oh, it looks like we're going together." Wang Daoyi smiled, his eyes were indifferent, "Those guys, under the blow of Ningguang, do they still have the strength to provoke the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and the Fatui?" ”
"Heh, it's because they can't resist the suppression of Ningguang that they will provoke my family and the Fatui to oppose each other, so that they can contain Ningguang's attention, and they will have a chance to turn the tables."
"Turnaround? As long as the immortals don't make a move on the Seven Stars, why should they turn the tables? Wang Daoyi sneered.
He and Xingqiu both understood that this attack should have been done by those who were ready to move and spread rumors after the emperor's "fall".
These are some of the decadent families that have been passed down from Liyue's thousands of years of history, and these careerists have joined together through various means to overthrow the rule of the Seven Stars after the Emperor Immortal is gone.
It's a pity that the means are not as good as people, and with the existence of Yelan, they were suppressed by Ningguang, and they had to go sideways, wanting to provoke the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and the Fatui to oppose each other, attract Ningguang's attention, and thus get some respite.
"Are we going to continue investigating?" Chongyun also understood, and with a little resentment, he wanted to go back to Liyue and tell Seven Stars about the matter.
"Of course, those rotten guys can't do this game alone, there must be external forces to help them."
Wang Daoyi and Xingqiu glanced at each other, and they both saw the thoughts in each other's eyes, "We want to find evidence, it's best to catch those people, so that we can kill those guys with one blow and completely destroy those guys." ”
