Chapter 176: The Ancient City Hanging Upside Down
Paimon also had a shocked expression on his face, so that Sasuke couldn't see anything unusual.
Old mysteries are not solved, and new ones suddenly appear.
Dain gave Sasuke a meaningful look.
"Are you saying that you can get a skill after you touch the Seven Heavens Statue?"
"Hmm."
Sasuke nodded.
"Touching the Seven Heavens Idol in Mondstadt gives you the ability to talk about wind, and then you get the power of the Rock by touching the Seven Heavens Idol in Liyue."
After listening to Sasuke's description, Dain touched his chin.
"The Seven Heavens Idol is related to the leylines, it should be the leylines that record the ability of the void, you touch the Seven Heavens Statue, and the Seven Heavens Statue can give the recorded power to Ling, which is ...... in between"
"It's a matter of time, and I'm afraid it's not as simple as you think."
His gaze wandered between the two of them for a moment, and then he said:
"It seems that you have a lot of fate between you."
"Let's act together first, the top priority now is to solve the problem of the Abyss Order first, they must have a plan to go to such great lengths here, we need to stop them."
"It just so happens that you can also take this opportunity to get to know each other a little bit, and maybe you can find the answers you want."
Originally, Sasuke's goal was the huge crystal in the Fatui log, but now it can be determined that the Abyss, the Abyss Order has a lot to do with this crystal, so to solve the problem of the crystal, it is natural to first understand the purpose of the Abyss Order.
Dain's purpose is also related to the Abyss Order, so his proposal is agreed to by Sora, Sasuke, and Paimon.
Paimon naturally thinks that the more lively the journey, the better, with one more person and more effort.
And Sasuke and Sora both feel that there is something in each other that attracts them.
"A wise choice."
"But let's stop the small talk, something is approaching us."
Dain's words fell, and several monsters wearing black twisted armor suddenly appeared in the shadows.
It is similar to the armored swordsman that Sasuke met when he rang the bell before, except that the weapon carried at the end of the armor is different.
At the end of their armor, a huge spear was linked, and when they appeared, they charged at them with their spears, seemingly aiming at Dainsleif.
"Black Snake Knight......
Dain also recognized the armored monsters.
"Do you recognize them?"
Sasuke asked.
Sasuke, who had planned to use Susanoh to directly smash these monsters, stopped.
He glanced at Sora, then stepped on the floor at the same time, unleashing an amber ridge to block the Black Snake Knights' charge.
100% synchronization rate.
"Hmm."
"They were once part of the palace guard of Kanria."
Looking at the Black Serpent Knight, who was stopped behind the rock, Dainsleif nodded.
The palace guards?
Dain seems to have said before that he was the Sword of the Last Light, the captain of the Kanria palace guard.
"Are they your subordinates?"
"Why did you attack you?"
A sigh came from Dain's mouth.
"They used to be my subordinates, but now they only have a strong curse on them...... And this way of fighting, which has abandoned all glory......"
Although his tone was still calm, one could feel his hidden consternation and a hint of anger.
"They are already minions of the abyss."
"Put an end to their suffering."
A sword flash flashed, and the helmets of the two Black Snake Knights behind the rock ridge fell to the ground, and then their entire bodies turned to dust.
"Let's go... Let's move forward first. ”
Just as Dain put away his sword and was about to continue exploring this place, he suddenly turned his head.
Following his gaze, Sasuke spotted another swordsman in very different shapes, quietly peeking at them from the high point.
The opponent's armor is blue, which is completely different from the black snake swordsman and black snake knight I saw before.
And Sasuke didn't even perceive his presence.
There is no killing intent, not even breath.
It makes the hairs stand on end.
"Did you miss one?"
Sasuke took out the Thousand Rock Sword and injected the thunder elemental power Chakra, ready to make a move.
Because considering that the Abyss Princess may appear at any time and the situation is complicated at the moment, he did not use Susanoo to save a little pupil power.
At this time, Dain took a step forward and blocked Sasuke's movements.
"Wait, he seems to be different from the Black Snake Knight before him."
At this moment, the black snake knight turned around and walked in another direction, and the location he was heading to was winding upwards, leading to the strange upside-down ancient city overhead.
His behavior made Dain even more stunned.
"That Black Snake Knight, it seems that he has something to say."
"What's going on...... If you don't have that thing...... How is it possible to maintain a sense of self for 500 years......"
"There is also a concerning, inexplicably familiar atmosphere......"
"In the midst of such a desperate catastrophe, such a miracle should not have been born...... Is it a coincidence? ”
Dain was lost in thought.
After a while he continued:
"The other party seems to recognize me just now."
"Sasuke, you just said that the upside-down ruins above your head have been wrapped in black fog before, and after you broke through the black fog, a large number of abyss apostles appeared, and the abyss princess also came after that, I think, there must be a connection between them."
"Maybe the truth is right in front of you, let's go, let's follow."
With that, he took the lead in the direction where the black snake swordsman had disappeared before.
Sasuke, Paimon, and Sora immediately followed.
After winding their way up the gravel and crumbling stone walls, the group came to the overhanging ancient city.
There is still a remnant of black fog here.
Sasuke touched the black fog and found that it was the same as the black fog they had encountered below, with an invisible barrier preventing them from entering the ancient city.
"I can't move on, do I need something else to knock?"
Paimon looked at the black mist in front of him and scratched his head.
Dain raised his hands at this time.
"Don't waste time."
A blue-black flame suddenly appeared between his hands.
And as this blue-black flame appeared, the black fog that enveloped the ancient city quickly dissipated.
"The technique of Kanria, the breath of the power of the abyss...... I'm all too familiar with these things, and in my eyes, these things are nothing more than illusory bubbles. ”
Sasuke took another step forward, and sure enough, the barrier that had blocked him before was gone, and there was no obstruction to his passage.
"Is this the ruins of Kanria?"
Sasuke asked.
Dain shook his head.
"It's not."
"These ruins probably come from much more ancient civilizations."
"It's just that it was discovered by the Abyss Order and then occupied."
An even more ancient civilization?
Sasuke was stunned.
The mystery hidden in the Chasm is really like a matryoshka, more and more.
