Arataki got up from the ground and asked a few people. "Pain, pain, pain, ahin, and my brother! Benefactor! You okay! ”

"By the way, what kind of place is this?" Ying looked up at the sky where they had fallen, and wondered.

Yelan: "."

"I don't know, but this is definitely not Liyue's territory."

After listening to Yelan's words, Yanfei seemed to understand something, put the earrings on her ears again and said, "Really, Skynet is out of order." ”

"Yanfei, you're secretly working overtime again." Paimon saw Yanfei's small gesture and spread his hands.

Yanfei scratched her head and said, "Hehe, isn't this time busy, I'll pay attention." ”

"So where the hell did we fall, it wasn't Liyue anymore, and the previous Strata Abyss Skynet also had a signal." Paimon asked.

Yelan touched her chin and analyzed: "It seems that the elemental force was used in the confrontation just now, which caused the ground to collapse, and then moved us to another place."

After listening to Yelan's words, Arataki Ichito clasped his arms with his hands and said unconvinced: "It's not Uncle Ben's fault." You speak so unkindly, anyone who listens to it will get angry. ”

Yelan replied blandly, "My job is to stop outsiders from trespassing on the heavy land. If you're not welcome to tell the truth, your mind is a little fragile. ”

"You live a breath, I just don't like to give in!"

Seeing that Arataki was deflated, Kuki said to him helplessly: "Boss, you can't talk about her at all, why do you have to quarrel with her?" ”

"Ninja, who are you helping?" Arataki Kazuto wondered.

Ah Ren replied flatly: "It's just a matter of pointing out the status quo." I understand your feelings, but if you have nothing to do, you are causing trouble for me. ”

Paimon turned to Ying and said, "I found out that Ichito can't argue with Yelan or Ninja, he's very weak here."

Ying glanced at Paimon and said, "Isn't Itto and Shinobu just like you and me?" ”

Hearing Ying's words, Paimon stomped his feet in the air and said angrily, "Wow, I'm so angry! Don't compare me to Ichito! ”

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by that, find fault, right?" Arataki Itto listened to Paimon's words and said with a dissatisfied expression.

Paimon spread his hands and replied, "I—I'm telling the truth, everyone knows you're stupid. ”

"Am I stupid? Then you're a flying violet. ”

"Flying violet?! Woo, I'm so angry that I'm going to give you a nasty nickname. I'll tell you to herd the cows!" Hmph, herding cows, you're crazy. ”

Seeing the two arguing like children, Ying and Yanfei covered their heads that began to hurt helplessly.

"We seemed so far away from the hole that we had fallen that we couldn't see what was going on top." Yanfei walked up to Yelan and said to her.

Yelan squinted at the hole above her head and replied, "With this distance, it seems that you can't go up directly, so you have to find another way." ”

"Paimon, stop arguing, you fly up and have a look." Ying said to the two who were still arguing.

"Huh? Shall I fly up and see? Hearing Ying's words, Paimon came back to his senses.

"Okay, then I'll go up and have a look."

Paimon wanted to say something, but considering Ying's minor problem, she agreed and flew towards the hollow above.

After a while, Paimon flew back slowly.

"How's it going?" Yelan asked.

Paimon shook his head and replied, "No, there's an invisible barrier up there that prevents me from continuing to fly upwards, and when I look at it, the scene revealed above is not where we came from. ”

"Sure enough, it looks like we're in another secret place, and when we entered, the door was blocked." Yelan touched her chin and analyzed.

Yelan turned her head to look at Kuki Shinobu and said, "The Chasm is a mysterious area in Liyue, having been locked down a few years ago due to a mining accident. When acting here, it is best to learn not to look, listen, or ask, so as not to get involved in too many secrets that you should not know. ”

"In principle, I will not be an enemy of you, and I hope you will not embarrass me on the issue of confidentiality. As for the way out, I will do my best. ”

Looking at Yelan, who turned around and left directly after speaking, Arataki Itto was puzzled: "Alas? How did she go? ”

Yanfei replied, "I'm going to find the exit." Yelan is probably the one among us who knows how to deal with crises the most, so let her go. ”

Speaking of this, Yanfei explained to the few people present: "I'm very sorry, generally speaking, I won't disclose the content of the settlor's will to unrelated people, so I couldn't tell the truth to the two of you. I'm sorry. ”

"I came to the Chasm to retrieve the Taiwei Disk mentioned in the will. Many years ago, my client gave this magic weapon to people with lofty ideals, hoping that this treasure would be useful where it was needed. ”

"According to eyewitnesses, the person who received the magic weapon took it to the Chasm, and its whereabouts have not been known ever since."

"There have been many wars in the area of the Chasm in history, but even if that person dies in the war, I hope to do everything I can to find the magic weapon and fulfill a wish of the client."

Listening to Yanfei's words, Arataki Ichito nodded and said, "Since the benefactor said so... Okay, I've sold this face. From now on, everyone is a companion, as for that stinky fart. Hmph, that's fine. ”

"But Yelan seems to be from the General Affairs Department, right? Why haven't we seen this before? Paimon wondered.

Yanfei replied, "Well, it seems that that's right to say so to the outside world. As for her identity, I can't reveal too much, but I can only say that this job belongs to her. ”

Arataki Itto couldn't help but complain: "What kind of work, you have to work in a place where this kind of bird doesn't." ”

"I'm familiar with this, adventurer!" Paimon replied with a smile.

Ying: "? ”

"What's wrong with that expression? I'm not wrong, are you and I like that? Looking at Ying's strange expression, Paimon scratched his head with some confusion.

"It's me, not you, the adventurer, and it's not like you called me over to come across this kind of thing." Ying replied flatly: "It seems that our trip to Sumeru has been delayed a lot. ”

Paimon spoke, "You've been stingy lately, what's wrong with me making a name for myself?"

"That's okay, I'll give you a name, and next month's food expenses will be halved for you." Ying tilted her head and looked at Paimon with one eye.

"Well, forget it." Paimon replied.

Arataki Itto said, "Yes, Traveler, you are Paimon's boss, the boss must have energy, you should let the younger brother shine more, and it is not right for you to deduct the food expenses of the younger brother." ”

"We're not in this relationship!" Listening to Arataki Itto's words, Paimon said angrily.

Seeing this, Kuki Shinobu said to Paimon with relief, "Paimon, just listen to what the boss says, don't take it to heart." ”

"Hmph, for the sake of Ninja." Paimon nodded in reply.

Seeing that he couldn't say a few people at all, Arataki Ichito covered his head and sighed and said, "I'm the boss, I'll let you." ”

"But what Ichito said also has some truth, that is, Ying, you can't deduct my food expenses, it's too cruel to me." Paimon said to Ying.

"Oh, what Ichito said makes sense, but I don't listen." Ying said with another glance at Paimon.

Paimon: "."

"By the way, how much food money did you deduct from the flying violet melon?" Arataki Kazuto suddenly thought of something and asked Ying.

Ying replied: "You said this, now she has to eat me 1 million Mora a month, and before it was 300,000 Mora a month, but during this time, she earned a little to improve her food." ”

"What? A million Mora a month for food?! Ichito exclaimed, and then he said to Ying with a flattering face: "Boss, now that you are my boss, are you still short of people there?" ”

Ying: "."

Kuki Shinobu: "."

Yanfei: "."

"Hey! It's enough for me to have one, you don't need anyone else, herding cattle, you die of this heart. Paimon said angrily to Arataki Itto.

"One million, that's a million Mora, you can eat noodles every day for a year, and as a result, you eat it in a month?"

"That's Ying's good to me, a good guide like me, where can Ying find it."

"No, flying violet, Uncle Ben is going to launch a duel against you!"

"I'm not going to duel with you, herding cattle, you're going to die of this heart!"

Looking at the two of them who started again, Kuki Shinobu had a headache, but she also learned about Ying's financial resources, and the food bill for Paimon alone was 1 million mora, and she couldn't imagine anything else.

"Guys, come here, I've made some discoveries here." Yelan, who was elsewhere, shouted to everyone.

Yanfei opened her mouth and proposed: "Yelan called us, presumably we found something, let's go over quickly." ”

"Yelan, what's wrong?" Yanfei walked over to Yelan's location and asked her.

"You see, there's a way out here, though I don't know where it leads."

Paimon looked at the scene in front of him and was surprised, "It's incredible that this kind of place has a secret entrance."

"There is an entry, there should be a way out, go in and see." Arataki Itto looked at the entrance of the secret realm in front of him and opened his mouth to propose.

"Wait, there's a voice." Yelan said suddenly.

Hearing Yelan's words, Paimon turned his head in confusion and asked, "What's the sound?" ”

Paimon: "??? ”

"Yikes! It's Xiao! Paimon exclaimed as he saw the arrival.

Yanfei opened her mouth to Xiao and asked, "Demon Slaying Great Sage, why are you here?" ”

Yelan: "."

"Follow them." Xiao said as he looked at Yinghe and Paimon.

Paimon pointed at himself with some confusion and asked at Xiao, "With us?" ”

Xiao shook his head and said, "Hmm." ”

"Okay, do you want to come with us?" Paimon scratched his head and asked Xiao.

"No, I have other things to do." Xiao shook his head and said.

Ying wondered, "Is it something important?" ”

"Find someone." Xiao replied blandly: "You pay attention to safety, this gives me a sense of foreboding." ”

After saying that, Xiao's figure disappeared in place.

Seeing Xiao disappear into the abyss, Paimon said helplessly, "It's still like that without a trace."

"That little brother just now is very imposing, and he has a fight with Uncle Ben, it seems that he is a powerful character." Arataki said with a smile.

Listening to Arataki Itto's words, Paimon said to him with a disdainful expression, "Herding cattle, where did you get your confidence?"

"Is it really okay to let that gentleman go alone?" Kuki Shinobu asked with some concern.

Paimon replied, "That man, even if you don't let him go it alone, he won't listen to anyone else. He's very powerful, though, so let him go. ”

"Then again, why did Xiao say he came with us?" Paimon asked at Ying, confused.

Ying replied, "Who do I ask me?" ”

"Well, I always feel that Xiao's purpose for coming here will not be simple, when I see him again, just ask him." Paimon scratched his head.

"Everyone, from here on, please keep an eye on your surroundings. No one knows what lies ahead, so be ready at any time. ”

After listening to Yelan's words, Arataki Itto still said a little unconvinced: "Although I have recognized you as companions, but. . . With Uncle Ben's fighting talent, he doesn't need her to remind him, and he doesn't need her to lead the team. ”

Kuki shouted helplessly: "Boss"

"Ahh Arataki Ichito scratched his head and replied.

When a group of people were talking, Xiao's figure appeared in a place separated by a wall from a few people, and he quietly watched as a few people walked into the entrance of the secret realm after they finished talking.

Xiao squeezed the golden branch in his hand and said with a serious face: "Fushe, I will definitely save you." ”

Xiao also got a game console made by tassels before this, and also played the game "Genshin Impact II.", the content in which he couldn't believe it, the most important thing is that most of it ended in tragedy, and the fairy tassel is the only variable between the game and reality.

At that time, Xiao also found Zhongli to ask, Zhongli didn't tell him anything else, just let him feel it himself.

It wasn't until he finished the intermittent quest of the Chasm that Xiao knew what was going on, he didn't expect the floating house to be alive, and after learning all this, he found Zhongli again, but this time Zhongli gave him a golden branch.

"Thank you, Emperor." After Xiao took it, he said seriously.

Zhongli got up and turned his head to look at the bright moon in the sky, and said to Xiao, "No, she gave me this branch, presumably she was already here at that time." ”

"Immortal Monarch?" Xiao naturally understood who she was in Zhongli's mouth.

Zhongli didn't answer Xiao's words, but changed the subject: "You have too many karma on your body, and it is not a way to let Skynet suppress it after all, when you figure it out, go to Nahida to clear it." ”

"Nahida? Is that the new grass god, I understand, and I'll visit him when I'm done with the matter of Big Brother Fushe. Xiao nodded seriously.

Zhongli bowed his head and said, "Well, there are some things I can only give you a suggestion, and the final development of things is up to you." ”

"Emperor, then I'll retire first." Xiao said.

Zhongli thought for a moment and said, "The Strata Abyss and his party don't have to be in a hurry, and don't act alone, otherwise unexpected variables may occur. ”

"I understand." After Xiao finished speaking, the figure disappeared.

Seeing Xiao's departing figure, Zhongli sighed helplessly.

So after Xiao experienced this incident, he basically kept an eye on the movement of the Chasm, and it wasn't until today, when Ying and Paimon came to the Chasm, that he followed behind.

Xiao hid his figure all the way, closely following a few people, until he got out of the secret realm, and several people still didn't notice his existence.

After leaving the secret realm, Arataki Kazuto looked at the scene outside, and said with some doubts: "No, how did you do it?" ”

"We. . How did we get back? Paimon said confusedly.

"This is where we walked?"

Listening to Ichito's words, Ying looked at her surroundings until she looked up and saw the disappearing hole before replying, "No, you see that the hole above is covered." ”

"So, the hole is indeed gone." Yanfei said.

Yelan touched her chin and thought for a moment before proposing: "Since it is another secret realm, there will definitely be an exit, let's look around." ”

After saying that, Yelan left alone.

"Okay then, let's go our separate ways, my brother Traveler and I have a group of flying dwarf violets, and a group of Ninja and a benefactor, how about it?" Arataki Itto proposed.

Hearing Arataki Itto's words, Paimon angrily shouted, "Hey! Herding cattle, I'm not a flying violet! ”

"Benefactor or something, if you say it seriously, just call Yanfei. Mr. Ichito is a gang boss and a lot of leadership. Yanfei said with a smile.

Arataki Ichito waved his hand and said, "Where, where, you can call me Ichito." Since we say that we are all companions, we should take care of each other. ”

While several people were probing, Xiao was also looking for the so-called exit in the dark.

"Skynet really can't be used, this should be a secret realm that the Golden Tree can't reach." Xiao touched his chin and thought as he walked.

Xiao walked and walked, and suddenly saw that Skynet began to link again.

"Well, wait, there's another signal, why is there a signal here?" Xiao looked at the stone wall in front of him with some doubts, the closer he got to the stone wall, the stronger the signal of Skynet became, but this was the only place missing, which made him very curious.

Thinking of this, Xiao smashed his fist against the stone wall, and suddenly a stone cave appeared in front of Xiao.

"Huh? Something is wrong, why is it not there again? Could it be that the space behind the wall has changed? After the entrance to the cave appeared, Xiao noticed that the signal of Skynet had disappeared for no reason, and he walked here several times without a signal.

While Xiao was still thinking, he suddenly noticed that someone was coming, and before he had time to think about it, Xiao's figure hurriedly disappeared in place.

At this time, Yelan arrived at the place where Xiao was originally located, and looked at the hole that appeared here with some thought.

After Yelan investigated, she turned around and left, telling the others about the matter here, Xiao watched the few people below enter the secret realm one by one, and after waiting for a while, they also walked in.

"What is this?" After Xiao followed into the secret realm, he looked at the scene in the secret realm with a look of disbelief.
