Man is the original god, the lawer of reason

While Keqing was speaking, the slight urging element force made the lumen stone catalyst emit light.

"Well...it doesn't have to be so troublesome."

Chen Luo signaled Keqing to hand over the lumen stone catalyst to herself.

Parse, copy, refactor.

Without much effort, Chen Luo created a large lumen stone catalyst, and the lighting effect was much better than before.

"I forgot that you still have this ability, but..."

With Chen Luo's efforts, the area where the four of them were located was completely illuminated. Ke Qing looked around, but felt something was wrong.

"...A few years ago, I also worked in the stratum rock abyss. In my impression, there should be more plank roads and facilities here."

"Could it be that something went wrong during the lockdown?"

Gan Yu asked.

"...It shouldn't be."

"Speaking of which, the underground of this layered rock abyss... has anyone drawn a map before?"

Raiden really asked.

"To be honest, no, the miners who work here are familiar with the structure here by virtue of their own abilities, and there is no official map. Before I set off, I also went to the Adventurer's Association to ask, although a girl enthusiastically She signed up for me and said that she would come together...but considering that she is just an ordinary person without the eyes of God, I still rejected her."

"Anyway, let's go down and have a look."

The crowd arrived at the ground of the temporary main mine along the only remaining plank road and elevator.

"This is where the miners rest. It's strange that the fire here is still warm."

Chen Luo found a camp, and carried out investigations with himself, and indeed got some unexpected gains.

There is residual warmth, which means that there were people here not long ago.

At least the entrance area doesn't look dangerous, why...

It would not be the traces left by the two uninvited guests who came in earlier than Chen Luo and the others.

And next to this camp is a hole leading to a lower level.

"If you go in from here, you will be able to reach the mining area on the next floor."

Before going down in person, Chen Luo still had some things to do.

"I'll try my method first."

[Switch · Herrscher of Thunder]

If it is to find a living person, it is more convenient to use the induction ability of the Herrscher of Thunder.

There was a purple light in Chen Luo's eyes, and the power of the Herrscher of Thunder was activated, sensing the electromagnetic wave information in the air.

Of course, not only the information of living beings, but also the ejection and reflection of electromagnetic waves, the geographical structure of this mining area is no secret to Chen Luo.

With this sensory ability, Chen Luo quickly figured out the structure of the area below the cave entrance.

However, the deeper he went, the less information his electromagnetic waves sent back.

It seemed that something swallowed up the power Chen Luo radiated.

Like a stone sinking into the sea, there is no more news.

"Chen Luo, how are you doing?"

Ke Qing asked.

"...Not quite right."

It took a long time before Chen Luo opened his eyes.

Quiet, so quiet.

It can't sense the breath of any living creatures at all, not to mention the breath of humans, Qiuqiu people, crystal butterflies, and even various small reptiles.

It seems that only the four of them exist in this layer of rock abyss at the moment.

"I can't... sense nothing."

This is the first time that the Herrscher of Thunder's search ability has failed.

"Gan Yu, you are a fairy beast, you should be more sensitive to the dirty environment... Do you feel anything wrong?"

Ke Qing asked.

"...No, it's better to say that I didn't sense any filth at all."

Originally, I was worried that the enemies of the abyss would appear again in this layered rock giant abyss where the disaster of abyss invasion broke out 500 years ago, but judging from the current situation, it is indeed not the power of the abyss that caused the change here, Zhong Li said It's really good.

When encountering a situation that you can't understand, as long as you think that it is all capable of Honkai.

Having said that, Chen Luo still has no way of identifying what is causing this phenomenon, as expected, he still has to go deeper in order to understand the situation clearly.

"Keep going down."

As soon as they arrived at the underground of the layered rock abyss, they began to encounter strange situations. The four of them did not slack off, and raised their spirits and continued to move forward to the lower layer.

Falling down from the deep hole, the four of them came to the lower platform area.

"Lord Keqing, look, that seems to be a soldier of the Qianyan Army."

Turning a corner, Gan Yu keenly saw human beings moving ahead.

The standard armor of the Qianyan Army, together with the unified Qianyan spear, seems to be indeed the Qianyan Army who entered the search earlier.

"Strange... If they were really trapped by something, they shouldn't be wandering in such a shallow area."

Ke Qing said.

"For the sake of caution, let's call them from afar first."

Keqing immediately kept a distance and shouted, trying to attract the other party's attention.

"...?"

Chen Luo felt a little strange.

"No, wait, something's wrong, that's not human."

He didn't sense any biological aura from those so-called "Qianyan Army soldiers".

When the electromagnetic waves projected onto them, they were also swallowed up like a stone sinking into the sea.

This group of "soldiers" heard Ke Qing's voice, turned around, and they all took the same action in unison.

That is to raise the spear and attack them very quickly.

"real."

"Yes, I know."

[Third rated power · Gravity control]

The Flower of Eden on the real head shone lightly, and the gravity field was instantly applied to the soldiers of the Qianyan Army who were lifeless, making them unable to move.

The suppression of gravity is absolute, and under the effect of the Flower of Eden, they are completely unable to move.

Chen Luo stepped forward and looked at these soldiers who were still struggling to get out of trouble. It was true that they could not feel the breath of life from their bodies, but they stood alive in front of the four of them.

"Human? No, this is... some kind of phantom?"

Chapter 11 Phantom of the Old World

The few "Soldiers of the Qianyan Army" who were completely suppressed by the Flower of Eden could only be reduced to observation materials for the four of them.

"...Look carefully, the armor on these Qianyan Army soldiers does not seem to be the style of this era."

After looking at these immobile soldiers for a while, Ke Qing realized this.

"So, this style... is indeed the style of 500 years ago."

Gan Yu recognized it.

Among the four people present, only Gan Yu has experienced the abyss invasion battle 500 years ago.

At that time, the Immortal and the Qianyan Army fought to the death, barely blocking the disaster within the range of the layered rock abyss.

For this reason, the Qianyan army also paid a heavy price. Liyue's army, which once fought with the Emperor Yanwang in the Demon God War, was severely injured, and the inheritance was almost broken.

Of course, under the sacrifices of the immortals and the people, the abyss invasion in Liyue did not cause a catastrophe like Dao's wife.

"The soldiers of the Qianyan Army 500 years ago were resurrected and attacked us. What's going on?"

Keqing raised her question.

"I guess, maybe they regard me as a monster?"

Chen Luo guessed.

After all, when the four of them were talking, those phantom eyes were fixed on Chen Luo.

Why they were attacked, the answer seems self-evident.

For the soldiers of the Qianyan Army who stay here forever, it is their wish to stop all monsters under the layered rock abyss.

Maybe Chen Luo... was regarded as a monster by them.

"The situation here... is abnormally related to the flow of time."

Thunder really said.

This is an obvious conclusion. After all, if it were not for the influence of time-related abilities, these Qianyan troops would not suddenly "resurrect from the dead".

There are two cases in Inazuma that can be used as a reference for special phenomena related to time.

The first one is the divine cherry tree.

The sacred cherry tree planted through the joint power of shadow and truth can absorb and purify the filth in the ground veins. These filth are the memories left by the creatures who once lived on that land, and as long as special means are used The branches of the God of Destruction Sakura, the filth will overflow into the real world and become a phantom that can exist for a short time.

Huasanli is similar to this kind of existence.

The second one is Crane View.

Under the curse of the bird of thunder [Kappaqili] that once inhabited Heguan, that area was cursed with eternal reincarnation, and the leylines were distorted as a result.

On that island, endless reincarnation is repeating itself, where a piece of past history is constantly being repeated.

However, the phantom created by the sacred cherry tree is short-lived and can communicate, and the phantom on the crane view, except for the special existence of Aru, other phantoms cannot interact with reality, but passively repeat the past.

However, the phantoms of the Qianyan Army that Chen Luo and his party encountered could interact at the combat level but could not communicate verbally.

In short, no matter which one, the root cause of the phantom is inseparable from the abnormality of the ground veins.

Who is it that affects the veins of this area underground...

In any case, if you want to find out the problem here, you have to continue to move to a lower level.

Only by finding the anchor point of time in the underground mining area that affects this layered rock abyss can the phenomenon of time turbulence occurring here be completely resolved.

"If these phantoms have existed for a long time... Maybe the Qianyan Army troops that entered earlier and the team of fools who have been exploring here have also been trapped somewhere and besieged by phantoms."

Gan Yu said.

"...If it's just an ordinary Qianyan Army phantom, they shouldn't be unable to handle it. From what I can see, there may be phantoms of other things."

"Well, their situation is very dangerous, we have to find them quickly."

"Speaking of which, we can't keep them suppressed here."

Chen Luo said.

The phantoms of the Qianyan Army soldiers in front of them were still suppressed by the Flower of Eden, but Chen Luo was sure that once the restriction was lifted, they would immediately continue to attack Chen Luo.

If we continue down, there are probably many such phantoms, and we have to find a way to deal with them.

But after all, they are the phantoms of the former heroes, and it seems not very good to kill them directly and let them die again.

"I...maybe there is a way to put them to rest temporarily."

Raiden really said out loud.

She walked up to one of the phantoms, stretched out her hand, and touched the armor lightly.

In an instant, the phantom turned into light particles and dissipated, causing the remaining three people to marvel.
