Chapter 416 Mine Cave
Liyue, layered rock giant abyss.

If you want to go from Liyue Port to the Layer Rock Abyss, generally speaking, there are two ways to choose from.

One is to take the official road of Qingxu Pu, which is the only road that Liyue officials have delineated for thousands of years, and it is also the safest road.

Except for the frequent appearance of treasure robbers due to the historical reasons of Qingxupu itself, there have not been any terrible and unsolvable incidents here, and the road construction is also the most complete.

The other is to pass through the southwest of Tianqiu Valley, go in the direction of Caiqiao Valley, and pass through this area to reach the northeast of the stratum rock abyss.

However, compared to the official road of Qingxu Pu, there are very few people who choose to take this road.

After all, in terms of terrain, this place is rugged, low in the middle and high on the surrounding sides. If there is a treasure troupe setting up an ambush here, the trouble will be more than just the time convenience brought by the shortcut—not to mention the road It's not even a shortcut.

Therefore, in most cases, people will choose to take the official road of Qingxu Pu, no matter whether they want to go to the sea of ​​strata rock giant abyss or return to Liyue port from that mine.

But this time, because the agents of the Privy Council had investigated in advance that a large number of fools' advance soldiers had gathered near Qingxu Pu, the researchers and staff who returned from the stratum rock abyss all chose the direction of Caiqiao Valley.

Because of this, when passing by the edge of Tianqiu Valley, several scholars who have studied the earth veins noticed something wrong here.

If the abnormal movement of the earth's veins in the stratum rock giant abyss is a tremor from the ground, which is similar to a natural phenomenon of an earthquake, then the abnormal movement from the direction of Tianqiu Valley is more like the roar of some terrible creature.
What kind of creature can directly affect the earth veins, and also cause such a large-scale change?
The scholars didn't know, and neither did the soldiers of the Qianyan Army who followed them to protect their safety, but the only thing they knew was that they couldn't stay here for long.

The anomalies in this place have reached the level that even ordinary elemental creatures can't avoid them, not to mention the liar flowers or rock dragon lizards that can move freely, even the ordinary flame flowers have left this place.
Although the flame flower is a plant, it can move its position very slowly in theory, but if you want to move a few flame flowers that originally grew in the middle of Tianqiu Valley to the edge, it can't be done in a few days.

So the changes here started a long time ago.

At this moment, at the camp at the entrance of the mine.

A group of about seven Qianyan Army soldiers are still stationed here. All the scientific researchers and staff have been evacuated. Their current task is to stay here to prevent the treasure robbers and fools from entering the layer without hindrance. In the rock abyss.

But although the task on the surface is like this, in fact, the specific task description given to them by the Seven Stars is different.

[This trip is stationed at the entrance. It is called stationed, but it is actually monitored.If you encounter an invincible person, take your own life as the most important thing, and don't enter the battle to fight.In case of a change, the mine can be evacuated immediately without maintenance of any equipment. 】

The seven outstanding Qianyan Army soldiers who received the order set up a simple camp not far from the entrance. When they first received the order, they were actually ready to sacrifice for it, so their old camp was in the The most conspicuous place in front of the entrance.
But now, they all understand that compared to meaningless sacrifice here, their contribution to Liyue Port will only be greater if they survive.

If you think about it carefully, there is really no point in trying to stop a few treasure robbers and fools from entering the underground mine.After all, everyone who has worked in the layered rock abyss knows very well that the mines below have been "full of treasure thieves", and they are digging stones everywhere.

This is really an unbelievable thing. Without professional equipment, without sufficient food and supplies, they dared to go down to a depth that even researchers had to be cautious about, and they were digging stones with manuscripts.
Well, maybe these people have special abilities. They don’t even have the eyes of God, but they still dare to play like this and just change to another adventurer. Once they reach the depth they have reached, what will happen to them? Weird disease.
But they have nothing to do, and there are a steady stream of other members of the treasure robbers walking in. According to incomplete statistics, as early as a few years ago, the number of treasure robbers staying in the rock giant abyss mine has been far away. Exceeded the number of Qianyan Army and staff.

In response to this, the Liyue officials once organized an operation aimed at expelling the treasure robbers.During this operation, the soldiers of the Qianyan Army arrested nearly several hundred members of the Treasure Bandit, but some members of the Treasure Bandit still fled to the depths.

People are not familiar with the environment deeper in the rock giant source, and a considerable number of members of the treasure robbers have been arrested, so this operation is over.

The time of that operation was not far away, and the commander of the operation back then is now the captain of the seven-member team.

The captain of the camp was named Yue Long. After the expulsion operation was over that year, he was promoted to the commander of the Qianyan army in the stratum rock giant abyss due to his outstanding military exploits. Now he also volunteered to stay at the scene.

He received an order from Qixing, and he also understood the importance of monitoring the entrance and formation, but there was always a thorn in his heart.
Those treasure robbers who fled to the deeper areas back then were the leaders of the treasure robbers he had been chasing, and his failure to catch them was a point in Yue Long's heart that he could never forget.

Among the remaining six people, one is a civil servant who has studied with scholars for a period of time, and he is responsible for exploring the formation and the specific situation of the entrance every day.

The remaining five are soldiers of the Qianyan Army with extraordinary strength, and their fighting qualities are among the best in all the Qianyan Army.

They more or less knew the knot in their captain's heart, and they even knew very well that if it wasn't for Qixing's order, he would definitely rush into the entrance alone and go to the deeper part of the year.

Their daily task now is essentially to monitor the entire entrance. When they encounter a small number of treasure robbers, they will choose to expel them; but when they encounter well-equipped and large numbers of foolish soldiers, they will strictly follow Seven Star's orders, Conceal your tracks.

Although for the Qianyan army, this kind of life is a bit suffocating, but there is no way, they are the right people to carry out this task.

There are many agents who are good at concealing their tracks, but most of them don't know the bedrock depths.In contrast, although their Qianyan Army who has been stationed here all year round is a little weaker, it is better to understand the specific situation of the local area.

"and many more?"

At dusk that day, Yue Long was conducting his daily inspections, but he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar person.

It was a mighty group of treasure robbers, the initial estimate was about 20 people, and the leader was a strong man. His appearance was remembered by almost all the soldiers of the Qianyan Army.

A black eyepatch covering his right eye, a messy beard, and a very recognizable scar on his face—his name is Xiu Ji, and he is one of the leaders of the Liyue Treasure Bandit.

And this leader led a large group of treasure thieves into the layered rock abyss at this moment. Are they going to make any big moves?
