People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

Boyang's notes were not as private as Fushe's "family letter". After flipping through two pages, Rhodes couldn't help but sigh.

After all, he is just a mortal, not a saint.

In such a lonely, dark and confined environment, with the passing of Fushe, Boyang, who was left alone here, was even crazier than the "mad" Fushe in the last stage of his life.

In this notebook, the first part is a normal record of war events.

The story begins with the attack of the Kanreya monsters on Liyue, and the Thousand Rocks Army and the alchemists joining forces to resist them outside the Layered Rock Abyss. It continues until the appearance of the four-armed Yaksha Fushe, who led the remaining Thousand Rocks Army soldiers out of the monsters' encirclement with terrifying bravery. After that, they discovered that the underground space exposed by the war had an extremely strong inhibitory effect on the Kanreya monsters, so Boyang personally formulated the plan to sacrifice some people to save Liyue.

"Underground Palace."

Seeing the name of this space in the notes, Rhodes looked up and looked around.

Something to say.

There are indeed some remnants of buildings here.

But it is still very different from the appearance of the underground palace recorded in the notes.

"Is it that it is already affected by the space before entering?"

Rhodes stroked his chin and thought to himself.

The space they are in now can be regarded as one of the biggest mysteries in the entire secret and dangerous areas of Teyvat.

Even the immortals who can fight against the devil cannot get rid of the illusions here, the disordered time, the chaotic and overlapping space, the behavior that seems to actively devour people, and the strange environment that can turn living people into phantoms.

Any one of these horrors alone is enough to be a forbidden zone for humankind, let alone the fact that all these horrors are now combined in one place.

"Is it the change brought about by that star?"

Rhodes thought of Liyue's legend about the Chasm.

The stars fell to the earth, and the wasteland turned into a vast and deep abyss, from which beautiful jade, gold and stones grew, which were inexhaustible and could be used endlessly.

When I first learned about this legend.

Rhodes thought it was just a guess, and then it was beautified by generations and turned into a refreshing legend.

But after the scientific expedition team passed through Xumi to survey the geological environment of the underground mining area.

The inferences they drew.

But the legend of the star is very likely to be true!!!

This story begins with another inference given by the scientific expedition team.

The ancient abyss was most likely a vast ocean.

The ancient marine fossils that have been discovered are the most perfect evidence.

correct.

Rhodes had also picked up the ancient marine fossils mentioned in the report.

Just picked it up.

The deeper you go, the more ancient fossils are exposed.

Although I'm not studying paleontology.

But Rod could still easily identify the iconic marine life features on these fossils.

Moreover, the structures of these fossils are extremely complete. It's not just one or two of them, almost all the fossils unearthed have this characteristic.

The reasons why this can happen.

The most convincing explanation so far.

In a short period of time, a horrific mass extinction of life occurred in the ocean, the predecessor of the Stratochasm.

"The falling of the stars caused a mass extinction of all life, and the abyss of rock that was once covered by the ocean was smashed into a wasteland, leaving behind this terrifying, man-eating space and an inexhaustible supply of mineral resources."

This statement coincides with the legend of the star, and it also fits the theory that a mass extinction of life broke out in a short period of time.

More than that.

Combined with the inverted ruins where the Black Snake Knight is located and the traces of human development in this space.

Rhodes was sure.

Before the arrival of the Liyue people, a developed underground country had actually been born beneath the Chasm.

I just don't know how this country perished.

"The Frost Sky Nail?"

Rhodes thought of the destroyed ancient kingdom of Findnir on the snowy mountains.

Its demise was due to climate change brought about by the Frost Nail sent down by Heaven.

According to Nashida, the Frost Nail is a tool to fight against the abyss, and it also has the ability to purify and stabilize the power that should not exist in Teyvat.

And in the distant past.

The Frost Nail was mainly used to repair the cracks in Teyvat.

From this, Rhodes deduced a conclusion that made him gasp.

"The essence of this space is the crack in the world of Teyvat! The Frost Nail was sent down by heaven just to repair it."

Now the situation becomes delicate.

If the space before our eyes is really a rift in the world.

So where does it lead to?

Looking at the endless darkness before him, Rhodes couldn't help swallowing.

"No wonder this place is so weird. Even the rules are different from Teyvat."

After figuring out the nature of this space, Rhodes' previous confusions were also resolved.

It’s like there are spatial flaws inside the sealed space.

This underground space is actually a huge space connection, which is probably the intersection between the world of Teyvat and another space or another world.

Therefore, the rules of Teyvat are simply not applicable here, and the order here has become so chaotic that it is completely beyond common sense.

As for what is outside the crack.

Rhodes didn't want to explore, nor did he dare to explore.

The only thing he knows now is that "staying here is really an endless torture."

"Ugh--"

Looking at Boyang's notes, Rhodes sighed again.

[Some of the soldiers who were wounded in the battle died, and some got separated from the main force in a trance and never came back. Yasha and I were the only ones left alive on the Liyue side. ]

Start here.

Boyang's condition is not right.

In addition to recording the battle situation, he also wrote in his notes more than once that he regretted why he took the initiative to stay here instead of letting his younger brother Rong Zhao stay.

There is even an entire page filled with all kinds of insults that are just for venting.

He cursed the monsters of Kanreya for invading Liyue, cursed himself for being incompetent and unable to protect his hometown, cursed Fushe for being insane and having no one to talk to normally, cursed why his younger brother was able to return alive while he had to endure such torture, and cursed Emperor Geo for being incompetent and unable to protect his own people, and for not being worthy of being a god.

After reading this page, he returned to his calm state, but his handwriting became more crooked and twisted, even more difficult to recognize than the traces left by a scarab. It was obvious that he was almost at the end of his life.

Until the floating house passed away.

Boyang, the only one left in the underground palace, went completely crazy.

As a mortal, he would inevitably be corroded by karma if he approached a yaksha like Fushe, and this area was also very good at launching attacks on the mind.

Come down like this.

Boyang's madness became more and more serious.

After Fushe passed away.

There was much less content in his notes, and a considerable portion of them were weird drawings that were even more chaotic than children's doodles.

Due to the distorted handwriting, most of the text is no longer recognizable. The only bits that can be read are resentful curses and fear of the unknown, and the rest are longing for home and loved ones.

At the last moment of life.

Boyang, who had been searching for a way out but had found no solution, chose to return to his friend and used a broken blade to free himself from the endless pain.

Put away Boyang’s notes.

With mixed emotions, Rhodes bowed three times to the two corpses in front of him and said "I'm sorry".

Say it.

He then carried out the bodies of Fushe and Boyang one by one, and handed them over to Xiao and Ye Lan along with the notes and letters left by the two.

"There are too many corpses here."

"We can't take everything out, so we can only pick out the important ones and take as much as we can."

After explaining the affairs of Fushe and Boyang, Rhodes said helplessly.

There were more than tens of thousands of Qianyan Army soldiers who died here. It was no exaggeration to say that there were corpses everywhere. It was absolutely impossible for the three of them to bring back all the bodies.

Moreover, this underground space is too dangerous, and Liyue is unlikely to send people here to take risks just to collect the corpses here.

Therefore, even though Rhodes wanted to help send these corpses back to Liyue, so that these poor people who were forced to leave their homes to protect their homes could return to their hometowns.

But I really have no power.

Xiao and Ye Lan expressed their understanding, and then went to collect the remains of their brothers and ancestors.

Take advantage of this time.

Rhodes originally wanted to continue searching to see if he could find similar notes or letters to take back.

However, he only took two steps.

Seeing Apep standing aside with an impatient look on his face, he didn't know what he was thinking, but he stepped forward and asked, "Can you help collect the corpses here?"

"Okay."

"Let those two men come with me, and I can help you with this."

Apep's answer made Rhodes' mouth twitch.

It seems that you haven't forgotten this.

But with this said.

Rhodes also knew that his sudden question was not wrong. Apep did have a way to take away all the corpses here.

It is absolutely impossible to let Xiao and Tartaglia go to Xumi to be with her.

Now I just need to think carefully about how to make her willingly do the hard work.

"Is there anything else that can impress her?"

With this question hanging in his mind, Rhode no longer had the energy to collect the letters here. He simply sat down next to Tartaglia and thought hard with a frown.

"Are you thinking about how to take the remains of those seniors out?"

Tartaglia seemed a little listless, and his speech was not as energetic as at the beginning. He was even more powerless than when he was going to help Rhodes fight just now.

This sealed space is different from the outside world.

Due to the chaotic rules of time, staying here can only consume energy but not restore it. Even if you don't eat, you won't feel hungry, and even if you don't sleep, you won't feel tired. Without placing a serious burden on the body, the longer you stay here, the more intense the mental consumption will be, until the spirit is almost exhausted and will be swallowed up by this space as its phantom.

When Boyang was left here alone.

It was precisely because he could survive without eating, drinking or resting that he was able to survive for so long. In the end, he was tortured to madness due to mental exhaustion and lost his mind, and even cursed the Geo Emperor, who was regarded as a spiritual sustenance by the people of Liyue.

In such an environment.

Tartaglia, who suffered backlash from excessive use of the Demon God's weapons, naturally has not recovered any of his physical strength. Coupled with the mental pressure here, he is still pale and his legs are trembling.

"Ah."

Tartaglia also heard what Rod and Apep said just now. There was no need for too much explanation. Tartaglia understood what he was worried about with just a little hint.

He secretly glanced at Apep in the distance, then moved closer and whispered to Rhode, "I think Lady Grass Dragon actually admires you quite a bit. Why don't you go and try to be nice to her? She should be easy to talk to."

"Uh"
