Paimon was also a little shocked when he looked at the sweaty ruin guards who were going to fight before, and now they were lying down in pieces under Sasuke's move.

But she immediately clapped her little hands on the side.

"Okay, Sasuke is getting stronger again."

Ignoring Paimon's sycophancy, Sasuke just said lightly:

"Let's go, let's continue exploring."

Continuing along this passage, Sasuke encountered a new type of ruin guard, but it was different from the previous humanoid guard with both hands and feet, and the guard he encountered after was a bit like a spider and a bit like a crab.

These ruin guards are not as strong as the humanoid ruin guards, but their defense is much higher, and they don't have an exposed core as a weakness, and they need to destroy the entire machine before they stop moving.

As the passage leads to the end, the more these relics are guarded.

"They seem to be guarding this place?"

Paimon, who was being protected by Sasuke, asked.

"Well, it should be."

After cleaning up the ruin guards thoroughly, Sasuke looked down and inspected them.

The ruin guards were covered in a thick layer of dust, and had apparently been here for a long time, only to reactivate until his intrusion.

These Cumria machines are truly ubiquitous, just like the Abyss Order and the hilichurls, and it feels like they can be seen in every corner of Teyvat.

And Kanria has been extinct for so long, according to Dain, Kairia has been extinct for 500 years.

After all this time, these lying ruin guards are still powered, and the weapons they attack have not failed...... It's a bit against the common sense of the ninja world.

Sasuke thought for a moment and put the core of one of the Relic Guards into a folding bag.

Then I took a closer look at the passage.

There are no fluorescent plants in the tunnel, but there is still a light source.

And these light sources turned out to be candles under the walls on both sides of the passage.

Sasuke reached out to touch the candles, but went straight through them.

Are these candles illusory?

The light produced by the phantom can actually illuminate the passage......

As his strength increases, more and more things that he used to think were illusory are slowly becoming reality, but Sasuke still feels that this place is indeed a bit like Paimon said.

The lame man's eyes slanted the door.

Looking down the place where the remains of the ruins guarded were the most, Sasuke saw a fork in the road.

At one end of the road is a dead end, and at the other end there is a stone door.

This stone gate is similar in shape to the stone gate that came here, and next to the passage leading to the stone gate, there are rows of stone carvings.

The base of these stone carvings also houses similar phantom candles as before.

And on top of the stone carving, there is a ...... Coral Terrace?

The coral platform is coiled with a golden crown, and the snake also has coral on its body.

Whether it is a snake or a coral, it is engraved vividly, and even because it is too realistic, it is densely packed and looks a bit like a snake with fried scales.

Although Sasuke does not have a phobia of density, these hollow corals grow on the snake's body, which makes Sasuke still instinctively feel a little uncomfortable.

Walk to the stone gate inside.

This gate seems to be the real gate here, and the door seen in the cave before is like a projection of this door.

Sasuke Lining Thoughts.

It's just that the door outside was opened by touching the symbol inside the cave, how should this gate be opened?

Does it have anything to do with the rows of coral-covered snake statues?

While Sasuke was still thinking this, Paimon pointed to a darker corner and said to Sasuke:

"Look, Sasuke, there's a mechanism here, which should be used to open this gate, right?"

Well? Why does Paimon always find this kind of mechanism hidden in the corner?

Is she really a genius?

Sasuke leaned over to Paimon's side.

There is indeed a mechanism here.

This trap is somewhat similar to the one that opened the stone door in the cave outside, but with a droplet-like notch on it.

"It seems that something has to be put into this mechanism to open this door."

Paimon scratched his head.

"But...... We don't seem to have anything like that, do we? ”

"What to do? Dead end. ”

"It's okay, Paimon, stand back."

Since there is no such thing as dismantling the mechanism, then violently destroy it.

Sasuke took a few steps back and pulled Paimon away from the stone gate, then focused his gaze on the center of the stone gate.

"Amaterasu."

Black flames appeared in the center of the stone gate as Sasuke's gaze condensed, and although the pitch-black flames had no flames, the high temperature brought by them made the space seem a little distorted.

The closed stone door was also deformed by the black flames, and finally turned into powder, and finally these powders were completely annihilated.

When the stone gate burned out a gap that could accommodate Paimon and Sasuke to pass through, Sasuke's gaze froze again, and the black Amaterasu flames disappeared.

A ray of light shone through the stone gate into the passage station.

Well? Is there light outside the stone gate?

After using the water escape again to lower the temperature near the door, Sasuke said to Paimon:

"Let's go, we can pass."

Sasuke's series of smooth operations stunned Paimon.

"Is that how it did?"

"It's amazing......"

"You're skipping class at all, hey!"

……

Walking out of the burnt stone door, the light suddenly brightened.

"I'm ......" Looking at the scene that appeared in front of him outside this stone gate, Sasuke couldn't help but burst out with a foul word in Konoha.

"I'm ......" Paimon couldn't help but follow along after flying out of the stone gate.

"This ......"

"There's still so much space here?"

What appeared in front of Sasuke and Paimon was an abyss that had no bottom in sight, and the ruins of groups of ancient ruins and buildings floating above it.

And in the very center of the complex, there is a tall tower that radiates light.

What is it?

It's too big here, isn't it?

Why is there such a big place hidden in Teyvat's underground?

Sasuke felt that the size of this place was no less than that of the underground of the Chasm.

"Our goal should be the middle place, right?"

"Sasuke, let's move steadily."

As he spoke, Paimon pointed to the ruins on his left.

"The ruins over there seem to be closer, so let's start exploring from there."

"The fact that there are buildings means that there were people here, and maybe you can find some clues here, and maybe there are people who have left those little notes."

"It's easiest to find hints that you can't understand where there are a lot of notes."

"Maybe we'll know why we're suddenly here from Liyue."

“……”

That's right, Paimon often says it unintentionally that it doesn't work, but he doesn't seem to be able to contradict her.

For example, the ruins in front of you, and the ashes on the ruins guards outside before, no one should have been here for a long time.

In this case, how can there be any small clues......

However, Sasuke is not sure, after all, this is the world of Teyvat, and there are strange leylines.

In Paimon's words:

"Leylines can explain anything."
