People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

Rhodes would glance at Zanmaran from time to time.

Even in Xumi, giant mushrooms like Zanmaran, which can speak, withstand the power of the abyss, and remain uncorrupted for hundreds of years, are extremely special species.

In Rod's impression.

Those who have this ability seem to be those who have followers bestowed by gods.

For example, the mushroom-beast creatures in Apep's body, and Lannaro, the follower of the Great Mercy Tree King.

But it's like the special big mushroom Zanmaran.

He really hasn't seen it before.

Never heard of it either.

Regarding Rhodes' question.

Zanmalan said nothing, but replied that there was something wrong with his memory and he could not remember the past.

She said so.

Rhodes did not continue to ask.

After clearing out the abyss power that had troubled Zanmaran for a long time.

It also gave a gift.

Zhammalan called it a blessing of talent and wisdom.

This is a bottle of sticky spore slurry. Its function is very simple, which is to purify the power of the abyss.

Very similar to the effect of Lumen Stone.

This is good stuff.

Although it was of no use to Rhodes.

But for Liyue, and for any country that needs to clean up the filth of the abyss, this is a priceless treasure.

Before leaving.

Rhodes also helped Zanmaran block the hole where it was located that was constantly spewing out black mist.

This behavior was also highly praised by Zhammalan.

Later, Rhodes and Xiao walked far away, but they could still hear its endless voice behind them.

"Could this guy be a follower of some god?"

Rhodes glanced back at the mushroom cap looming in the distance and speculated thoughtfully.

Zanmaran is a giant mushroom with a strong presence.

This is mainly reflected in its huge umbrella cover that looks like the starry sky.

It is very bright.

Especially after clearing the infection of the power of the abyss, it became brighter.

The light it emits can be clearly seen even from several kilometers away.

Not only that.

While walking on the road, Rhodes took out the bottle of Talent and Wisdom that Zanmaran gave him and did a few small experiments.

This stuff is sticky.

It looks like a ball of jelly.

If you observe carefully.

You will find out.

The spores that make up this seemingly thick and sticky slurry are actually not attached to each other, but are scattered one by one.

"interesting."

Out of curiosity, Rhodes opened the bottle and poured a little onto the carving that Halfdan had given him.

As soon as the two came into contact.

Seeing the tiny spore slurry begin to boil violently, the black smoke that had been lingering on the surface of the statue was instantly suppressed by the spore slurry. In the blink of an eye, the black smoke turned into a ball of wet and sticky black mud.

Observed carefully for a while.

Rhodes suddenly discovered.

This statue, which had had its abyss power cleansed away by the spore slurry, actually had long, thin white mushrooms growing on it.

Surprised, Rhodes took some samples of the mushrooms, and then dripped different concentrations of the Blessing of Talent and Wisdom on the statues with the strongest and least abyss power.

The result is still the same.

After clearing away the power of the abyss, mushrooms began to grow on the black mud of the statue.

Initially it was bleak.

If the spore slurry is continued to be used for watering, these small mushrooms will emit a soft glow as they grow, until they grow into plants similar to the star mushroom, a mushroom species unique to the Abyss.

So much specificity.

This made Rhodes think of the flower goddess, and wondered whether Zanmaran had ever received the favor of the flower goddess.

"Probably not."

Xiao had a different opinion on this, and then said: "The fluorescence of that mushroom is very similar to the composition of the Lumen Stone in your hand. It has such strange properties, maybe it is related to the crystal you mentioned."

"Eh, is that so?"

After Xiao's analysis, Rhodes also felt that it made sense.

Refer to the Lumen Stones below the Layered Chasm that have changed due to the influence of the Frost Nail.

Perhaps Zanmaran also came to the Layered Abyss.

Such a strange change happened because of the radiation of the power of the Frost Nail.

"It took a long time."

"So this Zanmaran is now a giant living lumen stone."

Rhode said with a smile, and then waved the spore slurry in his hand: "So, if Liyue wants to develop the underground mining area, it must have a good relationship with Zanmaran."

Compared to the spore slurry provided by Zanmaran.

The disadvantage of lumen stone is that it is not a renewable resource.

Liyue has done research on Lumen Stone.

It was confirmed that the source of Lumen Stone's power to cleanse the abyss is not the ore itself, but the power it brings after being contaminated by the Frost Sky Nails.

Once you are too far away from the range of the Frost Nail.

The Lumen Stone's effectiveness will gradually fade until it returns to being a normal ore.

As a comparison.

Zanmaran, whose main body is a living creature, can reproduce spore slurry at any time, which can also be used to purify the power of the abyss.

After clearing out the power of the abyss, the spore slurry can grow mushrooms to continue suppressing the power of the abyss. If the number is sufficient, it can also prevent the subsequent formation of monster breeding grounds such as the Black Mud Mouth.

And the spore slurry also has the same lighting effect as lumen stone.

It can be said that it is a superior substitute for Lumen Stone.

"Good things should be used more often."

After studying the spore slurry, Rhodes put it away and continued to move forward with Xiao. They soon arrived at the location of the Frost Nail.

But it is different from the pre-set picture.

When it comes to getting here.

What Rhodes saw was not Ye Lan waiting at the entrance, but Tartaglia who was leading a team of Fatui and was busy dismantling the mechanism.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 231 Invitation to Join

"Hey friend."

"You're here too."

Rhodes did not suppress his movements, so naturally he was noticed by Tartaglia as soon as he came in. However, he did not go over and continued to concentrate on helping the soldiers clear the monsters near the mechanism.

It turned out to be someone that my executive knew.

The Fatui soldiers who were originally on alert also relaxed and continued to dismantle the first mechanism that sealed the Frost Nail according to Tartaglia's orders.

"Didn't I tell Yelando to delay him for a day?"

Seeing Tartaglia suddenly appearing here and working busily, Rhodes couldn't help but frown.

He certainly didn't directly say that he would delay Tartaglia for another day.

But with Ye Lan's ability to understand.

Could it be that you don't understand what he means?

unless

Rhode quietly approached Xiao and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Great Sage Conquering the Demons, is there anyone else here?"

Xiao gave an affirmative answer.

"Have."

"There are people on the highest cliff in the northwest of the crystal."

After pointing out that there were outsiders here, Xiao did not make any alert moves, but instead focused all his attention on the Fatui.

Ye Lan is also monitoring here.

Just didn't show up.

"We were discovered by Tartaglia."

Rhodes probably understood what was going on.

Anyway.

Tartaglia is the eleventh executive officer of the Fatui, a master who has fought his way out of a sea of ​​blood and corpses. He is also an executive officer famous among the Fatui for his preference for solo operations.

On individual soldier combat capability.

Although Ye Lan is indeed one of the most famous intelligence workers in the entire Teyvat, she may not be able to continue to mislead Tartaglia, who is also an elite of the country.

It was probably because Tartaglia discovered Ye Lan's trail or the real mark left by the Ninth Company that he got rid of Ye Lan, found the people of the Ninth Company, and successfully brought them to the Frost Sky Nail.

"Tsk, luckily the Emperor gave me a reward."

Rhodes muttered.

Previously, he asked Ye Lan to delay Tartaglia because he didn't want to cause any trouble. He was afraid that when he released the Frost Nail, he would be dragged into the sealed land where Fushe and the Thousand Rocks Army soldiers died.

Fortunately.

Zhongli gave the reward.

He clearly sent a message to Rhodes to bring Xiao into the sealed area.

So now it doesn’t matter whether Tartaglia is here or not.

He's even better here.

Fushe's burial place is full of dangers, and there are countless heroic souls of the Qianyan Army left there.

They don't care about entering the sealed area.

But it’s not that easy to leave.

The first thing to do is to find the immortal magic weapon Taiweiyi Pan hidden in the sealed area.

This magic weapon originally belonged to the immortal Minghai Qixia Zhenjun, and was later given by him to a human sorcerer who became his friend. The two then worked together to transform it into a powerful magic weapon that required both immortal power and human power to operate.

This thing was originally a magic weapon used to seal evil beasts during the Demon War.
