Yuanshin, no one knows the harem better than me

Suddenly, a foul-smelling wind hit the nostrils, and it was so smokey that I couldn't open my eyes.

summer

After accumulating for too long, the stench is more than ten times stronger than the outside, and I thought some great demon was about to be born.

Xia Tian covered his mouth and nose, and after confirming that no monster appeared, he turned his head to check.

It is a not-so-spacious mine tunnel, surrounded by dark rock walls, full of jelly-like black mud, making people afraid to set foot on it.

Xia Tian casually took out a lumen stone and threw it over, wanting to see the movement.

But it was like a stone sinking into the sea. Although some black mud could be seen being purified, more black mud immediately swallowed it.

With the magnitude of this black mud, to be completely purified, I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of lumen stones are needed...

Although the "catalyst" has absorbed a lot along the way, there are only a few dozen of them... I can only move forward slowly and try.

"Senior." There was a soft voice in his arms.

Zhiqiong's face was flushed, probably because of the filth of the black mud, which had affected her a lot.

Or maybe Xia Tian hugged her too tightly, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Xia Tian slowly let go of her arms, as if taking care of a patient, and asked softly, "How is your body?"

He had already decided in his heart that if Zhiqiong fell into a coma again, he would immediately send her back to the camp.

"Thank you senior for your concern, I'm fine." Zhiqiong smiled and shook his head.

She was in a trance, not knowing whether it was because she was protected by Senior Xia in her arms, or because she was polluted by those black mud.

In short, messy, messy.

But, one thing is for sure, I don't want to stop here.

She pointed to the depths of the mine: "The front is the place where "that thing" was found before... Let's, cough, let's go there quickly! "

There are suspicious and worried glances.

But it was not far from "that thing". Xia Tian's curiosity made him unable to wait any longer, so he had to say: "Well, if you feel uncomfortable, you must speak up immediately. It doesn't matter if the survey is late, your body is important!"

"Well, Zhiqiong knows."

Zhiqiong nodded obediently, but his behavior was not obedient at all.

Unwilling to wait, even more anxious than Xia Tian to leave, but was pulled behind by one hand.

"I'll go ahead, you follow me." Xia Tian thought for a while, but she was still worried, so she didn't let go, just pulled her like this.

Do men and women give or take each other?

Now I don't care so much, besides, it's not interlocking fingers, it's just holding the wrist.

Seeing that Zhiqiong didn't seem to show any resistance or dissatisfaction.

……

The two moved forward, using the lumen stone to open the way, and the black mud flinched.

The surrounding environment is a bit scary, not only the black mud that seems to be alive, but also a few forks, where red blood can be seen.

A large area, glowing with dark red light, covers the rock wall, like a living vein, and you can even see the beating!

Is this... Could it be in the body of some huge creature?

Is this black mud the stomach acid for digestion?

The strong stench prompted them to quicken their pace, and the two of them ignored the fork in the road, and only walked on the main road.

Finally, it suddenly dawned on me that I came to another huge mine.

Except that there is no bright blue sky, it is simply a replica of the surface of the ground.

Numerous rock ridges form a spiral landform, and the scary thing is that there are also countless rock ridges inserted on the top, as if the whole terrain is suspended upside down.

There are a lot of abandoned wooden mine ladders around, and there was probably a plan to dig deeper.

There are even wooden signs on the side of the road.

【Rugged Stone Hall】

It is the name of this mine.

Chapter 870 Eighth Mortal Will

【Rugged Stone Hall】

Just like its name, the road is rugged and needs to be passed by wooden ladders.

At the moment, all attention is on the center of the spiral ridge.

A glowing sphere can be seen, which is very similar to the glow of a lumen stone, surrounded by many fragments.

At first glance, it is definitely not simple.

Xia Tian asked: "The appearance of "Lumen Stone" and "Black Mud" is because of this thing? "

"Yes, cough, cough... Recently, the changes in the geological structure of the stratum rock abyss have been accelerating. After the miners discovered this thing, the "lumenite" began to grow wantonly in the stratum rock great abyss... At the same time, the "black mud" " also appeared. "

Looking at the many luminous fragments deposited in the black mud around him, Zhiqiong boldly made his own conjecture.

"Judging from its floating appearance and damaged shape, it is very similar to the Longji Snow Mountain fragment mentioned by Sister Xia..."

"Maybe, cough, cough... Under here, there is also an unknown ancient civilization buried? It's like the ancient tomb on the snow mountain? Since the predecessor has been to the snow mountain... er... vomit..."

The filth of the surrounding black mud was too thick, and Zhiqiong's physical condition became worse and worse, and he had already started to retch.

"Zhiqiong!" Xia Tian hurried over to support her.

Facing the senior's voice of worry, Zhiqiong propped up his body as much as possible and squeezed out a smile.

"Haha...it's okay, maybe it's just an uncomfortable reaction, it might look a little scary...but it's nothing, senior, please don't pay too much attention..."

"Like...ahem, ahem...ordinary people

"These are small problems, and they are all difficulties that adventurers must go through... It doesn't matter, really!"

Regardless of whether it matters or not, whether it is for Zhiqiong or for the fragments bound in the black mud, the surroundings must be purified first.

Finding a fairly clean stone, Xia Tian pressed Zhiqiong down: "You sit here and wait for me, don't move around."

After that, he rushed to the black mud without hesitation.

Lumen stones are not enough, but it doesn't matter, as long as it is dirty, it can be absorbed by the God's Heart on the right arm...

Although absorbing this kind of stuff of unknown origin, I feel very conflicted in my heart.

Judging from the situation just now, the black mud is basically endless. Even if it is purified and absorbed, it will overflow again after a while.

At this moment, the priority is to remove the black mud that trapped the luminous fragments, and the luminous fragments regained their freedom and immediately returned to the light ball in the center of the rock ridge.

In an instant, the ball of light burst out a white "shock breaking", shocking the entire stone hall, and the black mud was purified in an instant.

After that, another roar was heard.

The ball of light fell directly, creating a huge hole that went straight to the ground.

If it is really a replica of the surface layer on the ground, is there a huge abyss inside the rock abyss?

There is no gravel around, indicating that the hole was not smashed through, but the previous camouflage was removed.

There is no bottom to be seen, and one looks flustered, as if it really leads to the abyss.

The surrounding black mud was purified, and the stench disappeared temporarily.

Zhiqiong took a deep breath: "Huh...it's much better! The air suddenly...cough, cough! It's much fresher!"

His face softened a little, but his spirit was still very exhausted: "That thing... flew away, opening a passage for us, let's go down!"

Xia Tian looked at the bottomless abyss, and then at Zhiqiong who was full of exhaustion.

I have made a decision in my heart.

"Zhiqiong, you go back first."

"Well."

Of course Zhiqiong understands that this is a concern for herself, but this is not what she wants.

She knew that Senior Xia could not be easily persuaded, and she had no way to prove that her body was fine.

At this moment, I can only show my unyielding will: "I'm fine, please don't underestimate me, senior!"

Xia Tian shook his head and said: "I have never underestimated you... It's just that I'm not sure about the safety of the space below, so I can't let you take risks."

"Adventurers are such a profession. They take danger as their friend and death as their companion... We are not afraid to talk about death by nature, nor are we afraid of being in danger..."

He said it very handsomely, but the subsequent cough made the handsomeness disappear: "So... cough, cough... this little reaction is nothing!"

She raised her head bravely, and stared at it with firm eyes: "The environment here is not more difficult than the "Ember Sea of ​​Silence"... If seniors don't laugh at me, I think my will is no worse than Stanley... "

stanley.

It is a very famous adventurer of Mond. The story of bravely entering the Sea of ​​Ember with a mortal body is well-known throughout Teyvat.

Xia Tian has the impression of this, and not only has the impression.

He also knew.

The "Stanley" who is alive now, the "Stanley" who is boasting about his adventures in the tavern every day, is a fake...

He was a companion who was once feared in front of the Sea of ​​Ember and was saved by the real Stan with his life.

He was full of guilt and didn't want the world to forget the name of "Stanley", so he spread those adventure stories everywhere.

He wanted the people of Mond to remember: Stanley, the great adventurer, once reached the center of the Ember Sea, he is the greatest adventurer, and he is still alive!

His wish came true.

Now, not only Mond, but all Tivats remember the name "Stanley".

Can be mentioned by Zhiqiong...

The real Stanley has died in the Ember Sea. His story not only does not prove that Zhiqiong should go forward bravely, but also shows that he should be more cautious before taking risks...

But for the sake of Stanley's reputation, it's not easy for Xia Tian to tell the truth.

Just listen to Zhiqiong continue.

"Ordinary people like us with flesh and bones, as long as we grit our teeth, we will surely achieve the same achievements as those senior adventurers!"

"This is my belief, and I will stick to it. And... the exploration has just started to improve, and I can't slow down the progress because of me... I will try not to drag the seniors down!"

Just like various standing flags.

The more you talk, the more dangerous you feel.

Xia Tian didn't argue, and nodded with a smile: "I know...but I have to go back to the camp first and inform them of the news. Others in the team also need to get our information."

Seniors know what!

Zhiqiong was dissatisfied: "But... I want to follow Senior."

Xia Tian spoke lightly, and turned around to start the return journey: "Then I have to go back to the camp, because I plan to go back to the camp, have a good rest, have a hot meal, and then sleep again! The next adventure may be more dangerous, You won’t even be able to come back for several days, so of course you have to make adequate preparations!”

What a strange turn of events.

Zhiqiong froze for a moment, then quickly followed: "Senior, wait for me."

…………

…………

On the return journey, one must pass through the mine tunnel full of black mud.

This time I paid attention to observation, and with the help of the remaining lumen stones, I made a simple drawing.

"The mine tunnel here... seems to be different from my memory."

"Will the mine road still change?"

"Well, after the mutation happened, the lower layer of the stratum rock abyss is actually very unstable, and the geological structure has been changing slowly... Today's passage may become a stone wall next month... It's like... um, Let me think about how to say it... It's like the layered rock abyss is changing with my own mind."

While saying this, the two of them happened to be facing the scarlet luminous rock wall that looked like internal organs.

"Senior, be careful! Me too
