Chapter 240 Departure from the Abyss of Layered Rocks
Chapter 240 Departure from the Abyss of Layered Rocks
the next day.
After resolving the issue of Inazuma's future prospects, Ying was no longer as gloomy as before.
Although she still speaks very little, she sometimes chimes in when Shiraki and the Great Tree King are chatting.
noon.
Before Bai Mu could even have lunch at Wanmintang, Zhong Li's telepathic message arrived first.
"Let's go, it's about time."
Upon hearing Zhongli's voice, Bai Mu nodded.
Then, with a casual grab from the void, he pulled over a young man surnamed Lin.
“There’s something unusual going on at the Layered Rock Abyss. To ensure you have a pleasant Lantern Festival, I need to go check it out. You can stay here and watch the shop for me for the next couple of days.”
After saying that, Bai Mu didn't give Lin Sheng time to react and immediately disappeared.
Lin Sheng stood there for a long time before he realized what was happening, until someone came to buy something.
......
The backyard of the Hall of Rebirth.
The place is now packed with people.
Wendy, Zhongli, and the Dragon King Ruoduo, along with Baimu.
As for Wendy's friend, perhaps because he had died once, he and Kurumi got along exceptionally well.
That's why Wendy didn't plan to bring him along after seeing the list of participants for the trip.
Once everyone had arrived, Wendy and the shadow behind Shiraki nodded. Then, he leaned close to Shiraki and whispered in a voice only those present could hear:
"Brother Bai, tell me, which country are we going to destroy this time?"
"Is it Fontaine, or Winter Solstice? Or perhaps Nata?"
Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.
Bai Mu looked at Zhong Li with even more confusion, his eyes seeming to ask:
[You haven't told him the truth yet?]
"Cough cough."
Zhongli coughed lightly, then said:
"I already said it was an event, not what you think."
"We're going to the mining area at the bottom of the Layered Rock Abyss to deal with some trouble there."
Hearing this, Wendy was somewhat puzzled.
Anyone on the outside should be able to handle the problem over there, right?
Why should everyone go together?
However, although he thought this way, he did not voice his true thoughts.
He felt that if he spoke up, he might become the one to solve the problem.
After explaining things to Wendy, Zhongli then produced a document from somewhere.
Bai Mu and the others took the document and quickly glanced through its contents.
"Isn't this unnecessary?"
After reading the document, Bai Mu looked at Zhong Li with a puzzled expression.
The document was probably obtained by Zhongli from Ningguang. It roughly stated that they were appointed as senior explorers of the Layered Rock Abyss to explore the abyss.
During this period, they can mobilize all the manpower and resources of the Abyss of Rocks, and some unimportant personnel must leave the Abyss of Rocks during this time and can only return after they have completed their exploration mission.
Shiraki thought the most useful part of the document was probably the clause about "getting all unimportant personnel out."
"I learned this from you; it's easier to get things done when there are official documents."
Zhongli said casually.
Upon hearing this, Bai Mu was speechless for a moment.
He handed the document to Zhong Li, and inadvertently glanced at the list of exploration personnel on the back of the document.
Personnel list: Zhongli, Baimu, Wendy, Ying, Tuozi, Xiaowang.
"Tuozi, Xiao Wang."
Bai Mu looked at the two of them with a smile.
Naming them was truly a difficult task for Zhongli.
......
The giant abyss of layered rocks, the entrance to the underground mining area.
After the group arrived, they didn't use the document that Zhongli had prepared beforehand at all.
The main reason is that Ningguang had already evacuated most of the people here before they arrived.
The few people who remained did not notice Bai Mu and his group.
Bai Mu and the others didn't bother to go over and say hello; they quietly entered the underground mining area.
...
The underground mining area was pitch black, but none of the people present were ordinary people. Even in the darkness, they could easily see everything clearly.
But being constantly in the dark still made Shiraki feel a little awkward.
He turned his gaze to the shadow beside him.
Can you emit light?
"Ok?"
Ying turned to look at Bai Mu in confusion, not understanding what he was talking about.
"that is…"
Then, lightning crackled around Shadow, and Shiroki's eyes finally felt less awkward.
"They're trapped in a secret realm right now. Would you like to go check it out?"
Bai Mu pointed in a direction on the ground and asked Zhong Li.
"Not for now, they are not in great danger at the moment."
Zhongli shook his head, his tone very calm.
With his abilities, he could naturally find out about Xiao's situation.
It's not particularly dangerous there right now, so there's no need for him to make a move at this time.
"Alright, let's wander around this area for now."
"I remember there are those Frostbite Nails here too, so I might as well go and take a look."
"Do you want to come along?"
Everyone came here with the mindset of a picnic, so they naturally wouldn't refuse Bai Mu's suggestion.
And so, the group marched in a grand procession toward the location of the Frostfire Nail.
However, after walking only a few steps, this small team, which could easily solo the Layered Rock Abyss dungeon by any one person, stopped in their tracks.
But they didn't encounter any difficulties; they stopped moving forward because of curiosity.
Directly in front of them, a pool of purple mud appeared.
The mud quickly dissipated after being illuminated by the lightning.
But once the shadow leaves its previous location, the mud will quickly recover.
The sight was quite astonishing.
At this moment, Wendy also walked over and used her divine power to "swipe" the mud a few times.
As with the previous situation, the silt will not regenerate as long as the divine power remains.
But as soon as their divine power disappears, the mud will immediately regenerate.
"To eliminate these things, you need to destroy this."
Shiraki pointed to a bulge not far away from which a purplish, viscous substance was gushing out, and explained to the two of them.
Upon hearing this, the two turned their heads, their curious gazes simultaneously fixed on the bulge.
After the two of them clearly saw the bulge, Shiraki pretended to wipe it off.
But just as he was about to make a move, the Great Tree King reached out and stopped him.
"Wait a minute. I told you before we came that this thing is somewhat similar to the Dead Zone, and I want to study it."
The Great Tree King stared at the bulge and said to the white tree.
She gestured for Bai Mu to help her put the things away, but Bai Mu couldn't bring himself to do it, looking at the disgusting things.
