People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

This was really beyond his expectations.

in his impression.

The Ninth Company fought their way to the location of Tianding and finally found a solution, but they gave up because of the poor performance of the equipment they had.

"etc."

A vein on Rhodes' forehead jumped.

wrong.

The time is wrong.

The Ninth Company did find the Frost Nail, and they should have found a solution before their supplies were cut off. But after suffering setbacks at the Frost Nail, they should have discovered that their supplies were cut off. Otherwise, if it was just the damaged equipment, they could have asked Zhidong for new equipment, and would not have retreated after just one attempt.

"This is really a big mistake."

Rhodes was in a headache and didn't know how to explain the matter of the diary.

Fortunately, Ye Lan did not pursue the matter further.

However, as a condition for not pursuing Rhodes' nonsense, she needed his help.

"The pollution there is very serious, much worse than here, and it is really difficult for me to approach it alone."

Ye Lan pointed at her feet and continued, "The Fatui only have one pollution-cleaning machine. It's hard to clean up the pollution here with just that one machine. The pollution in the crystal stone is at least ten times that here. It's impossible for their machine to clean it up."

She said it was difficult to access, not difficult to clean.

Just two words missing.

The meaning implied here is completely different.

However, Rhodes keenly grasped another thing in her words.

"What else do you know?"

Being able to ask for his help, it was obvious that Ye Lan knew that she was not afraid of the pollution of the abyss, which made Rhodes frown slightly.

He was convinced.

During the time when he was absorbing the power of the abyss, Ye Lan was not peeping around.

Including ladies and gentlemen, there are only a few people who know about this.

How did Ye Lan know about this?

"Not much."

In response to Rhodes' question, Ye Lan smiled and said, "Xumi has a very high level of confidentiality about your information. I have tried my best but I can only find out this much."

"Tsk, I hope you didn't lie to me."

Rhodes said again: "Okay, I can help you, but it will take a day."

"Okay, I see."

"Then I'll wait for you at the crystal."

Ye Lan did not ask why they had to wait for this day. She knew very well what "waiting for a day" meant. After agreeing on a time and place to meet with Rhodes, she moved like the wind, transformed into a blue phantom, and disappeared from Rhodes' sight in the blink of an eye.

"Another tough job."

Rhodes made a small complaint, but there was no resentment on his face. He shook his head and continued to focus on devouring the power of the abyss.

There is no interference from other people and no risk of exceeding physical capacity.

Rhodes' devouring process was extremely smooth.

Before the black fog area recovered, he took the initiative to devour all the abyss power here and successfully transformed it into his own elemental power.

Finish these.

He took out the Heart of God and tried to use it.

This time.

The Heart of God is finally no longer silent.

Under Rhodes' urging, Zhongli's Heart of God glowed slightly. It was very slight, but it was indeed a little brighter than when he took it out.

"It's almost there, it's almost there."

Seeing that his efforts during this period were not in vain, Rhodes laughed.

After putting away the Heart of God, his gaze shifted to the ruins not far away.

Halfdan was still there, watching him.

After Ye Lan left, the leader of the Black Snake Knights appeared again.

And it was still the same as when they first met.

He didn't make any movement, just stared at Rhodes like a sculpture, without any hostility.

"Do you have a problem with me?"

Rhodes passed on his words.

This was not the first time he asked Halfdan this question, but he never got a response each time.

And this time.

He finally received a series of strange sounds that made no sense.

How to describe it?

The sound that Halfdan responded with was like someone scratching an iron plate with a knife, sharp and piercing, and it came in a long passage.

Let’s not talk about whether you can understand it or not.

Just hearing this sound is enough to make one's head buzz.

"."

Rhodes, whose ears were tortured and he didn't understand anything, looked at Halfdan again.

It seems that he knows that his voice is not pleasant.

Halfdan did not make any more sounds, but turned around and motioned for Rhodes to follow him into the ruins.

Hesitate for a moment.

Rhodes accepted Halfdan's invitation and jumped towards the ruins.

With the power of these Black Snake Knights.

I don’t have the ability to hurt myself.

I believe Halfdan should also know this.

So Rhode had nothing to be afraid of. He just wanted to see what this knight, who was still loyal to his homeland despite his current state, wanted to say to him.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 225: Encounter with the Prince of the Abyss?

On the way to the ruins.

Rhodes finally understood why those Black Snake Knights showed such hostility towards him.

Just when the Black Fog area was violently demolished.

The rubble accidentally crushed the camps of several hill people.

"."

When Rhodes saw this scene, he suddenly realized what was going on and could only sigh heavily.

Not all of Teyvat's Hilichurls are monsters derived from the earth veins.

Rod once read some scientific knowledge about the Hill people in a book.

The sleep-loving group, the meat-loving group, the sun-loving group.

This is a classification made by Jacob Musk, an ecologist in Mond, who is known as the poet laureate of the Qiuqiu language, based on the habits and living habits of different Qiuqiu people after years of research.

Among them, the two races, the Sleepyheads and the Meatlovers, were first clearly documented thousands of years ago, and they have many similarities in behavior and social structure.

As for the Black Sun Clan, they actually only appeared widely on the continent after the outbreak of the Dark Disaster five hundred years ago.

Different from those hill tribes who worship muscles and cleverness and believe in natural elements, the more mysterious and special Black Sun Hill tribe attaches great importance to the mysterious power of faith and even has a totem that uses a black sun symbol as its mark.

In terms of social structure, they are also different from the sleepy people and the meat-loving people, and have many habits similar to those of human society.

For example, the elderly Hillichels of the Black Sun Tribe are eligible not to go hunting, instead of being abandoned in the wild or being eaten as food by their own people like the other two races. Young newborns also do not need to go hunting, they can just stay in the tribe and wait for the adult Hillichels to bring back food.

Shaman also holds the highest leadership position in the Black Sun Tribe.

This is consistent with the other two tribes.

But the shamans of the Black Sun tribe are more powerful than the shamans of the other two tribes, and their wisdom is no less than that of humans.

So.

The Black Sun Tribe, a tribe of Hilichurls with a social structure that is no less powerful than that of humans and extremely strong military force, has always been a headache for many countries in the continent of Teyvat.

Such unique characteristics have meant that research on the Black Sun Tribe has never stopped.

Scholars are curious.

How did this special race evolve from the Hillilchur race, which was still in a relatively ignorant stage?

This is something that has puzzled scholars.

Rhodes was very clear about the truth behind it.

The so-called Black Sun Hill people.

In essence, they are the remnants of the ancient country of Kanreya, which was destroyed by the law of nature five hundred years ago.

Rhodes didn't know much about the Kanreya War, which affected the entire continent.

But he was still very clear about the fate of this Kanriya survivor.

After that battle.

As the victor, Heaven cursed all those with Kanreya bloodline.

Among them, the pure-blooded Kanriya people suffer from the curse of undeath, which manifests as stopping growth and aging, and they will not die naturally. However, in this so-called immortal process, their bodies will gradually suffer irreversible wear and tear, and the curse will slowly erode and replace the original body tissues. This change will cause them to gradually lose the ability to precisely control their bodies, and eventually their self-consciousness will be completely destroyed.

The curse suffered by the mixed-race Kanreya people is called the Curse of the Wilderness. The appearance of the cursed will change drastically, and their intelligence will drop significantly, but their affinity for elements will be significantly improved, and their control over their bodies will not deteriorate significantly until the late stage of their lives.

The Hilichurls transformed from these Kanreya people are the Black Sun Hilichurls who appeared in large numbers on the continent of Teyvat after the Dark Disaster five hundred years ago.

Honestly.

Rhodes had always felt that these Kanria citizens who had turned into Hillcholls were pitiful.

The use of the power of the abyss is not something that innocent civilians can decide.

But they still suffered the most cruel punishment. They became neither human nor ghost, and were hunted down by the people of Teyvat every day.

As for the Black Snake Knights like Halfdan, there were also many members of the Abyss Cult who had been killed by Rhodes before.

They are actually pure-blooded Kanriya people who have suffered the curse of undeath.

Unlike other pure-blooded Kanriyas who still retain their human appearance.

While they were immortal, they were also infected by the power of the abyss, and eventually became the inhuman forms they are now.

The difference between the two is.

The members of the Abyss Cult actively embraced the abyss. Their bodies have been assimilated into the same race as the abyss monsters, but their minds still remain those of the Kanreya people.

The Black Snake Knights had no intention of embracing the abyss, but the power of the abyss intensified their undead curse. Over a long period of time, their will and the bodies beneath their armor gradually disappeared, and in the end, only the armor itself and some will deeply rooted in their memories remained.

Different Black Snake Knights have different wills.

These Black Snake Knights under the Layered Abyss are guarding the citizens of Kanreya who have turned into Hilichurls. There is also a Black Snake Knight named Inghilda who was discovered by the Order of the Lords in the Great Red Sand Sea. He is located in the relic colossus in the Dahalo Valley. As long as you don't get close to the cockpit, he will not take the initiative to attack. He is still firmly executing the orders to guard the relic colossus that he received when he was a White Swan Knight.

So, the fact that Rhodes accidentally injured the Hillil people naturally aroused the anger of these Black Snake Knights who were protecting their people until their death.

If Halfdan hadn't appeared in time.

A conflict is bound to happen.
