Chapter 169: The Line
Returning to the ground is easier than going down, because I've already been there, at least it's not so strange.
When passing by the previous Fatui camp, Sasuke also took a special look and found that the group of Fatui had already left the camp.
The Fatui have suffered heavy losses in exploring the underground mines, and I really don't know how Zhiqiong managed to avoid all the dangers and obstacles and reach such a deep place.
On the way back, Sasuke also checked a little and found that Zhiqiong didn't have any external injuries on his body.
If it weren't for the radiation from the huge streamer that caused her to feel unwell and had to stop to rest, Sasuke estimated that Zhiqiong would have been able to probe deeper.
Should I say that she is lucky, or is she a daring artist?
The journey back to the surface of the Chasm was very smooth, and Wendy was playing the recorder near the tunnel.
At this time, the sky outside had already revealed the morning sun, and Sasuke had entered the Chasm around the afternoon.
He'd spent the night underneath.
"Wow! It feels good to see the sky again. ”
Paimon spread out his hands and faced Zhao Yang, letting the sunlight shine on her body wantonly, stretching his waist and exhaling.
"Sure enough, the bright light is the most comfortable."
When Wendy saw Sasuke and them coming out of the dark passage, with a person still on his back, he stopped playing and leaned in and asked:
"What did you find? How did you bring back a person? Who is she? That adventurer you mentioned earlier? ”
Sasuke gently put Zhiqiong down and nodded at Wendy.
"Well, it's her, but she's not in good shape right now, and it might be dangerous to stay down there any longer, so I'll bring it with me."
"There are a lot of discoveries down there."
With that, Sasuke also handed the lumen stone to Wendy to look at.
"Found this down there."
Wendy took the lumen stone and looked it up and down.
"This thing seems to have something to do with leylines."
"Well, remember the black mud used by the Abyss Princess in the Windrises?"
"There's similar black mud everywhere in the mine down here."
"And this lumen stone has a suppressive effect on those black muds."
Sasuke's words made Wendy change color a little.
"You mean, there's all this black mud down there?"
At the same time, he took out the journal that the Fatui had given him earlier and handed it to Wendy.
"I met a Fatui soldier who had been abandoned by the executive officer below, and I helped them, and they showed me the execution log, and I think it should be more intuitive than I said."
Wendy took the journal from Sasuke and couldn't wait to flip through it.
As he flipped through it, his face became more and more solemn.
"No wonder ......"
"I guessed before, but I didn't expect it to be an abyss......"
"It seems that there are 'nails' involved...... Trouble. ”
Wendy paced in place a few times.
"Big trouble?"
"Hmm."
Wendy nodded.
"It's a little more troublesome than you think."
"Old man, help me!"
With a wave of his hand, the blessing of the thousand winds blessed Sasuke's body.
At the same time, an amber light appeared from another corner and landed on Sasuke.
It's Zhongli.
This made Sasuke feel a little like he hadn't felt for a long time, and dispelled the tiredness on Sasuke's body.
But it also made him realize the seriousness of the matter.
Wendy and Zhongli were blessed with blessings and power at the same time, and it was the first time he had encountered it.
"Please, Sasuke, the situation is urgent, and it may be more troublesome to explain, so I can only trouble you to go down again."
"No wonder my old man and I have been so affected...... Abyss, this time it's really bloody......"
"Be sure to find the huge hedron described in the Fatui journal...... Well, the stone that is not the one you saw in the vision should be deeper in the Chasm, and then clean it of the filth. ”
"If that thing is completely contaminated by the abyss, the door may open again."
"It's even more troublesome to deal with then."
Hearing Wendy say this, Sasuke didn't hesitate and returned directly to the dark passage.
Seeing Sasuke's movements, Paimon, who was still enjoying the morning sun bath, also stopped his movements and hurriedly followed.
"Eh, wait for me, Sasuke."
……
With the blessing of Wendy Thousand Winds, and the familiarity of the journey after walking twice, Sasuke turned on the Wings of Dvalin and quickly flew back to the place where he had seen the wonders before.
Despite the urgency of the situation, Sasuke still had to sigh that the scene in front of him was a different kind of spectacular.
How do we go down here?
The Fatui journal does not mention how they found the tainted hedron or draw a map.
Do you want to use stupid methods again?
Just as Sasuke was about to use the shadow clone to explore his path, Paimon suddenly spoke:
"Sasuke, look, there are three strange traps around this strange thing."
Three strange traps?
Where?
Sasuke looked in the direction of Paimon's finger.
There do seem to be three strange contraptions soaked in black mud.
Well?
Sasuke looked at Paimon.
"How did you find out? Paimon? ”
He asked, confused.
"Huh? Can't you see it? ”
Sasuke's question surprised Paimon.
"I see a faint line in the middle of three strange traps, connecting to that strange thing in the middle, huh?"
Paimon's words made Sasuke doubt himself a little, and he didn't seem to be able to see the 'line' that Paimon was talking about, whether he opened or closed it.
And after staring at the spherical streamer stone in the middle for a long time, Sasuke still feels a little dizzy, even though he has the blessings of Wendy and Zhongli's blessings now.
Paimon beside him seemed unaffected, floating like a nobody.
Is it because I am not a member of this world?
But Zhiqiong also had side effects on the spars here......
Looking at Paimon's innocent face, Sasuke put aside his superfluous thoughts for the time being, followed Paimon's guidance, and came to check near the agency.
After using the Lumenstone to force back the black mud, the mechanism wrapped in the black mud reveals its original appearance.
This mechanism, or device, is a bit like a 'lamp'.
And the light bulb seems to be the lumen stone that Sasuke dug into the rock wall earlier.
The device also contained lumens, but it seemed to have been eroded and soaked in black mud, and had completely lost its luster.
Sasuke took apart the packed lumen stone he had been carrying in his hand and found a piece of similar shape to replace it.
And the replacement of the lumen stone shines brightly.
A streamer of light slowly shot out of the lumen stone on the device, leading down a slightly twisted branch line to the large streamer stone suspended in the center.
Is there really a light link in between?
