People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

Because one is constantly entangled with karma.

Xiao usually does not come into contact with mortals.

Even if he had to come into contact with mortals, he would stay as far away from them as possible.

Karma.

That is the resentment left behind when the demon died.

The mental torture caused by this thing is no less than the infection by the power of the abyss.

Without the protection of elemental power, if one rashly comes into contact with the resentment in Xiao, mental disorder would be the least of the consequences.

Keep this habit for a long time.

Even though he knew that Rhodes' elemental power was extremely powerful, he still habitually stood about ten steps away from Rhodes, keeping a distance that was just enough for his voice to reach Rhodes' ears.

Halfdan's will is strong.

Rhodes knew this very well, even without Xiao telling him.

Halfdan is not a god.

He is just a mortal.

But he managed to bear the curse for five hundred years, allowing himself to retain enough sanity to think.

It is a miracle that these Black Snake Knights have not forgotten their mission in five hundred years.

And Halfdan can be called a miracle among miracles.

"yes--"

"His will is really strong."

Rhodes sighed, then said: "Let's go, let's go to Tianding together."

Xiao didn't reply, but nodded, then he and Rhodes walked out of the ruins one after the other.

The two had just left the room.

He ran into Halfdan who was returning.

"I'm leaving now. See you again if we're lucky."

Out of respect, Rhodes greeted the knight.

However, what he didn't expect was.

Logically, Halfdan, who shouldn't need help, stopped him again and pointed to the depths of the ruins.

"Do you need my help with anything else?"

Rhodes asked curiously.

"."

Halfdan shook his head.

at the same time.

Xiao said at the side: "He has something to give you as a thank you for helping him just now."

"what?"

"Can you understand what Halfdan is saying?"

Rhodes blinked, and the curiosity on his face became even stronger.

its not right.

I think Halfdan didn't say anything just now?

How did this Xiao know what he wanted to express?

"You don't have enough mental strength."

Xiao only explained so much.

But that's enough.

Compared to Rhodes' strong body, his spiritual power is indeed much weaker.

This point has not only been pointed out by Xiao.

Nashida and Mahabodhi Tree King have also pointed this out.

to this end.

They also specially gave Rhodes a leaf from the World Tree to protect his spirit, so as to avoid being instantly controlled by enemies who were good at mental attacks.

no way.

After Xumi encountered a major change, not only was its current situation worrying, but its foundation had been almost squandered by the prodigal sons of the Church of God.

It's so pitiful to talk about it.

Nashida and the Great Compassionate Tree King, as gods of Mount Sumeru, could only present a leaf from the World Tree.

This was a leaf that the two of them had to work together to pick.

Otherwise, with Nashida's control over the World Tree, Rhodes would not even have a leaf.

Problems caused by insufficient mental strength.

It was just that Rhodes couldn't interpret the information Halfdan transmitted through his consciousness.

Fortunately.

There is Xiao to translate.

Rhodes suddenly understood and did not reject Halfdan's kindness, but followed him happily.

I did Halfdan a favor.

It would be reasonable to accept a thank-you gift from him.

"What gift will it be?"

Following Halfdan, Rhodes thought secretly.

Back then, they were able to carry so many people all the way from Xumi to Liyue. There is no doubt that the Black Snake Knights must have carried sufficient supplies.

This made Rhodes interested in the gift that Halfdan was about to give him.

But he didn't have particularly high expectations.

After all, it has been five hundred years.

Even if there were any objects that could survive for such a long time, they would probably have been corroded by the past five hundred years.

But Rhodes was ready.

No matter what Halfdan gave him, even if it was a seed that had long since turned to ashes, he would accept it without batting an eyelid.

After all, considering Halfdan's current mental state.

He probably couldn't tell whether the gift he gave was good or bad. At most, he relied on instinct to give himself the most precious thing in his memory.

Go further in.

The ruins became brighter.

It’s not because the Black Snake Knights would deliberately maintain the lighting in the ruins.

It’s because the hillbillies gathered here need light.

Most of the Hilichurls still in this ruins are old and frail, waiting for death.

Although the elderly Hillichul people become more and more afraid of light as they grow older, their yearning for light still makes them spontaneously gather around the campfire as they are approaching death, quietly waiting for death to come.

They are so quiet.

Even when Halfdan walked past them with two strangers, they did not raise their heads to look and continued to maintain their previous posture. Even though their eyes under the masks had already become red and swollen because of the light here, they were reluctant to tilt their heads, as if they were afraid of losing the light before their eyes again.

The Black Snake Knights who had previously been full of murderous intent towards Rhodes were now guarding in front of these Hillilians, like the strongest wall, firmly protecting these people whom they had sworn to protect. Even if the people they were protecting had turned into corpses, they still stayed with them, and stubbornly carried out their mission with their broken bodies.

This scene made Rhodes's expression, which was just a little happy, suddenly silent.

He still said the same thing.

The people of Kanreya are innocent.

They have no idea what the higher-ups have done, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to change anything. Now they are implicated and have to endure this most cruel torture for the rest of their lives.

In such a silent atmosphere.

Rhodes followed Halfdan to the deepest part of the ruins.

it's here.

He finally saw the thank-you gift that Halfdan wanted to give him.

This is a group of dull-colored carvings.

That's right.

Just a bunch!

From brown lines, to gold lines, to blood-red lines.

Halfdan gave Rod no less than twenty pieces in total.

Without exception.

These carvings all exude a strong and lasting power of the abyss. If you look a little closer, you can faintly hear whispers coming from them: "Look, my child, everything under the throne of heaven will eventually perish in turmoil, and the eternally peaceful dark deep space will embrace everything."

This voice is full of bewitching power.

Fortunately.

Such temptation was useless to Rhodes.

What he was more concerned about were these strange carvings that could store the power of the abyss.

For Rhodes now, he would like to have as many of these safe and reliable abyss power storage devices as he can get!

"It's a great gift, thank you for it."

After saying thank you, Rhodes nodded with satisfaction, said goodbye to Halfdan, and according to the agreement with Ye Lan, he went to the cave where the Frost Sky Nail was located with Xiao.

Chapter 230 Big Mushroom!

The distance from the black fog area to the Frost Nail is quite far.

But for Rhodes and Xiao, one day is enough to make several trips back and forth.

So they were not particularly anxious.

We were moving at a normal speed along the way.

have to say.

No wonder the Chasm has become the largest mining area in Liyue.

Since entering the underground mining area, wherever Rhodes went, even in the area at the entrance that had been mined, he could see ore exposed on the ground everywhere.

Among them are high-quality night stone, glass sand and other precious minerals.

It was also on the way to the Frost Sky Nail.

Rod and Xiao encountered a giant mushroom that looked like a towering tree, and it was a talking giant mushroom.

Zanmaran.

This is the name of the big mushroom.

Zanmalan, who was also from Xumi, was delighted with Rhodes, who had the scent of red sand and rainforest on his body. After praising him for a few words, he asked Rhodes to help expel the abyss power on and around him.

Although this is not like before, there is no reward for raw stones.

But in the face of the request of this "fellow villager", Rhodes chose to help it and collected some special mushroom samples affected by Zanmaran.

While clearing the power of the abyss.
