"Doctor, there is a new development in that ruin, and it will take a while to break through the outer seal and drive straight in."

"Well, using the Treasure Hoarders, who often delve into the ruins, is a commendable mindset, and I hope you will always be my assistant."

The huge tent patted the shoulder of the debt handler who was half-kneeling in front of him, and the "doctor" temporarily put the test tube containing the unknown liquid in his hand.

Turning to take the book on the table, the "doctor" stroked the dandelion on the cover, "I also hope that what is recorded in this book is true, forbidden knowledge, and it has always made people full of desire to explore!" ”

"Everything will be as the Doctor wishes."

The debt handler did not dare to let the test tube in his hand shake for half a minute.

I still remember that the previous assistant also did this, because he accidentally shook it, and the liquid in the test tube exploded instantly.

At that time, it was handled by him and his colleagues, and he never thought that when he left, he was taken by this executive.

"Looks like you're scared, don't worry, if you change assistants too quickly, the "captain" and "servant" will bother me."

The "Doctor" slowly picked up the test tube and poured it on the debt handler's hood, the unidentified liquid emitting an unpleasant smell, and whispered comfortingly.

The liquid seeped in from outside the hood, and the skin that came into contact was hot and painful, and the debt handler didn't dare to show too much, just nodded yes.

"You should step back and see the work of the Treasure Hoarders, I can't wait to get my hands on the forbidden knowledge."

"Yes..."

The debt handler exits the tent in small steps.

Another report of successfully surviving!

"World Tree, Leylines, Destiny...... What aspect will this forbidden knowledge touch? By the way, if you have to tune in a little more Fatui, even if it is the abandoned cave mansion of the Liyue Immortals, you should be careful. ”

In the eyes of the "doctor", there is only value and worthlessness.

Worthless only deserves to be thrown into the incinerator, providing a little insignificant warmth, and the valuable person will go through the process of being drained of value by him, and then the same treatment will follow.

◇

"Or let them in?"

"The items left in the tents around here are the Fatui and the Treasure Hoarders, but how could they join forces?"

"There's also the possibility of being taken advantage of."

Looking at the surging river in front of him, the water-stopping palm stretched out and pushed forward, and the turbulent water seemed to be still, and a waterless channel spread out in the middle.

Caught off guard, the fish pounced on the damp sand, their thirst for life causing them to bounce towards the walls of water on either side, and at the end of the passage was a glittering rune.

Yingxin avoided the fish on the road with palpitations, and curiously circled around the rune: "Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun Cave Mansion to have a door, don't you tell me about this rune?" ”

"This is a cave that leads to the earth, and I set up the cave there...... If the seal is still there, the runes will not be revealed. ”

Thinking of the things sealed in the cave, Zhishui couldn't help but reach out and rub his eyebrows.

How did the Fatui and the Treasure Hoarders know about the runes at the bottom of the river?

"Reach out and touch it, and you'll be able to teleport."

"Is that so..."

With a slight touch of her fingers, the scene in front of her quickly blurred, and when her vision was clear, Ying realized that she had come to a wide cave.

A large area of the cavern is occupied by an underground river, where glowing plankton gather on the surface of the river that seems to be swaying, and the walls and ceiling are covered with a strange plant that emits a faint blue light that dispels the darkness.

"Wow! Traveler, look at what a big turtle! ”

Paimon grabbed a plant and put it in his mouth and chewed it, tasting it carefully, his little face instantly wrinkled, and when he was babbling, he suddenly met a pair of eyes under the river.

Frightened, Paimon grabs Ying's hair and screams.

"Don't be afraid...... Is it, the strangely dressed guy woke you up without stopping a few? Don't feel guilty, I'm not here. ”

Reassuring Paimon, the water stops back into the form of a pure water elf, floating up to the giant turtle's head, gently hugging it, and resting his forehead against it.

After getting the information he wanted, he patted it again: "Next, I have to work hard for you to help me watch the cave." ”

"What is this?"

Seeing the huge turtle sink back into the underground river, Ying tugged at the sleeve of the water stopper, and asked curiously, "And you can even do this skill?" Can you talk to other creatures? ”

"A special sea beast with a crystal on its forehead that can convey what it wants to express."

Shisui looked around with a little nostalgia, and walked up the moss-covered steps with Ying and Paimon, "It can stop its life activities and fall into a deep sleep, usually it stays asleep without any movement around it. ”

"Ahh Paimon understood, it was a gatekeeper raised here by the big bad guys, and that's what storytellers say. ”

"That's not it, I met it a thousand years ago, because this is probably the last one, so I kept it in this collection, and it likes the quiet environment."

"It turned out to satisfy a collector's habit..."

Paimon crossed his hands on his hips, looked left and right, and said, "It's the same with the traveler, who picked up a lot of weapons, and even though many of them were of poor quality, he refused to throw them away. ”

"Hmph, Paimon will never understand the fun here."

Ying also crossed her hands on her hips.

"I'm just satisfied...... When the cave arrived, the traveler grabbed my shoulder, the cave I set up was different from the master's theirs. ”

"Is it something other than the Floating Island?"

Watching the water stop and pushing open the door of the cave, a burst of light flashed, and the sudden feeling of weightlessness made her glad that she was obedient and clenched, but the pulling pain from the end of her hair made her tears squeeze again.

"Paimon, don't pull my hair~"

"If you let it go, Paimon will fall."

"Aren't you flying?!"

"It's such a high distance, Paimon's phantom limbs can't reach it."

"Do you really think you have phantom limbs?! Stop the water and help quickly. ”

"Oh."

The pain in her scalp finally disappeared, and Ying was finally in the mood to observe Dongtian's situation.

Except for the area where they belonged, the rest of the place was foggy and obviously impossible to set foot in, and a little lower below, there were several hanging islands floating on them, on which were the final machines.

Further down, a wide enough blue transparent platform stood the Fatui and the Treasure Hoarders, but not very well.

Apparently they suddenly landed from a high altitude after entering the cave, which took them by surprise and caused them heavy losses.

At least none of the fat people who played with ice and water survived, and there were not many thunder hammers, just a few standing alone.

If you look closely, the general outline of the palace seems to be faintly emerging under the transparent platform.

"Stop the water, why do you want to set the cave sky like this!"

"The main thing is that it is no longer inhabited, and there used to be water covering it all the way to the height of the hanging island, and it was not a final machine installed on it, but a fishing machine.

"At that time, if an ordinary person came in, after falling into the water, they would be fished out with a net by a fishing machine, which perfectly avoided the problem of not being able to swim."

Paimon, who was grabbed by the collar, bit his finger: "Big bad guy, you used to live in the palace below, how can you live with so much water?" ”

"I'm a pure water elf, of course, it's more free to stay in the water."

Shisui looked down and watched as the executive below gradually cracked the mechanism on the transparent platform.

Ying asked, "Won't you go down and stop it?" ”

"I'm angry that these guys are trespassing into the Immortal Mansion and trying to steal things, but I don't need to stop them from opening the trap, right?"

"Trap?"

As the "Doctor" unlocked the last mechanism, several rays of light suddenly shot out from the transparent platform and connected to the final machine, and the elements contained in the cave continued to pour towards it.

There was a 'click' sound of gears inside the old finalizer, and the mouth of the ballista gradually lifted to the top, and blue water bubbles gushed out.

"That's not the way to open the platform, now the chance is to fill the entire cave with water."

Ying stretched out her hand to wipe the water off her face and asked silently, "Then can I go out?" I'm afraid of drowning..."

"Sorry, I forgot where I set the exit? Probably underneath the platform? ”

Zhishui patted Ying's head and comforted kindly: "But don't worry, I have a machine that was dismantled from the cave sky before, which will provide you with bubbles that move in the water." ”

"Great, Paimon almost thought he was going to drown here."

After a long time,

Ying watched the Treasure Hoarders below float on the water with bubbles on their bodies, and then looked around her empty surroundings.

"Why are the Treasure Hoarders all there and I not?"

"Hmm."

Zhishui pondered for a moment, "Maybe it's because you're not from Liyue!" ”
