"Huh? What is this?"
After the black mud subsided, Jiang Bai found a backpack.
Judging from the logo on the backpack, it looks like it belongs to Foolish People.
Jiang Bai opened it and saw that some of the things originally contained in the backpack had long been contaminated, and the original shape could not be seen clearly. However, there was a diary and the words could still be vaguely distinguished from it.
[...Sergeant Anton found a big bell in the southeast...the words "them" were written on the rock wall...]
[...It is similar to the Dazhong that the captain saw in the ruins in the northwest. Maybe there is some connection...]
[Send two people to ring the big bell in the ruins...]
[The terrifying whistling sound echoed throughout the rock wall, and the black mist dissipated the unexplainable strange phenomenon... It seemed to be announcing someone's appearance...]
[...Ten people died, and the two vanguard teams suffered serious losses. The captain ordered an immediate retreat...]
A simple map slipped out of the log, which was drawn by these foolish soldiers when they were investigating here.
Closing the diary, Jiang Bai sighed.
When there was a crisis in the Layer Rock Abyss, the Winter Kingdom sent many soldiers down to help Liyue, and it was one of their teams who left this log.
It's hard to judge this country purely on good or bad terms.
But one thing is that the Winter Kingdom has always been on the side of mankind.
They are worthy of trust when it comes to fighting against the abyss.
Jiang Bai picked up the map and looked at it, then looked up at the inverted ruins above.
"There is actually a big clock in this ruins..."
He didn't notice it at all when he was wandering around this ruins before.
You can't blame him, after all, a person's attention is limited, and this ruins is an entire palace, which is not that easy to explore.
Jiang Bai Jiang Hantian Nail put down the fragments on the spot and looked at the black mist that still showed no sign of dissipating.
Obviously, the Cold Sky Nail is useless against Black Mist.
He returned to the ruins with his journal and map to find Mandrill.
"You look for a big clock in this palace, and I'll go and look at the ruins in the southeast mentioned in the log."
"good."
Jiang Baishun's map comes to the ruins in the southeast.
Compared to the cookie-cutter rock walls, the surroundings of this ruins are much more colorful.
Flowing water, vegetation, flowers, and even small animals live in it.
Jiang Bai felt a little emotional.
Even in such a difficult place that has never seen the sun, there are still civilizations that have existed brilliantly.
He looked at the ruins carefully.
This ruins are consistent with the inverted ruins, both in terms of architectural style and carving patterns.
It's obvious that they come from the same civilization.
Jiang Bai was a little concerned about "them" written in the log.
Who do they mean by this?
Does it refer to this civilization?
Or does it mean something else?
Jiang Bai was not sure whether the black mist was created by the people of this relic civilization, or whether it was the arrangement made by later people using these two big clocks.
And no one can answer the question of when the black mud appeared.
They might have come to the world because of the dark disaster five hundred years ago, or they might have been hiding underground in the Great Abyss even earlier. It wasn't until the crystal stone was dug out by the miners that it was gradually exposed to people's sight. middle.
Perhaps these questions will be answered once the black fog is dispelled.
"Dong——"
As the diary said, the screams of terror echoed.
Mandrill has found the big bell.
Jiang Bai speeded up and found the big bell buried in black mud.
Jiang Bai took a closer look at the words on the big clock. Even though the bronze bell was rusty and disfigured, the words on it were still clearly visible.
But unfortunately, he didn't know a single word of these words.
Taking pictures of the sequence, Jiang Bai rang the bell.
As the bell echoed, there seemed to be an invisible wave spreading.
He quickly returned to the black fog, and saw that the black fog dissipated, and the scene inside was also exposed.
Two tall apostles of the abyss walked out of it. They had huge rings on their backs, which were different from ordinary apostles of the abyss.
There are dangerous waves emanating from them.
It was these two apostles of the abyss who caused heavy losses to the team of fools who had come here and had to retreat urgently.
"Who are you?"
"This is a forbidden area, why do sinful people trespass?"
To be honest, Jiang Bai was a little disappointed when he saw these two abyss apostles.
I originally thought there would be something in the black mist, which might be the culprit responsible for the serious pollution of the abyss here, but it turned out to be two apostles of the abyss?
"Hmph! I am the biological brother of your [Princess] Highness, why are you still not polite when you see me?"
Hearing this, the two Abyss Apostles looked at each other, both a little confused.
They have been guarding this place for a long time, and they had planned to contaminate the great abyss many years ago.
Does Your Highness the Princess have any blood relatives? They don't quite know.
And there seems to be no similarity between this person and Her Highness the Princess.
To be on the safe side, they did not launch an attack immediately.
"You have dispelled the black mist, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to take over this area. Why, you didn't receive the message?"
Jiang Bai could tell lies easily, and he was even more impressive, without any stage fright.
It would be best if we could deceive these two abyss apostles and get some information from them. If they were discovered, it would be fine. At worst, they would cause a fight.
Just two apostles of the abyss, how could they turn the world upside down?
"Take over? Why?"
"The [Loom of Destiny] plan seems to me to be too dangerous, and the success rate is not high, but she doesn't listen to my dissuasion. There is no other way, as a brother, he naturally has to protect his sister.
"The Abyss is quite effective in polluting the Heavenly Nails. I am going to try to use the Heavenly Nails to connect with the Heavenly Nails and directly pollute the Heavenly Nails through the Heavenly Nails..."
Jiang Bai looked serious, as if he was really a good brother who wanted to protect his sister.
At present, he only knows the name of the project [Loom of Destiny], but he doesn't know the specific content, but that doesn't stop him from using it to bluff people.
"It's not that easy." One of the Abyss Apostles shook his head.
"The energy of the Sky Nail is very strong, and under Teyvat's law, it has a strong suppressive effect on our power.
"If [Heavenly Principle] had not fallen into a weak state, the pollution of the abyss would not have been able to spread so quickly. But even so, the Heavenly Nails have not been eroded by us."
Jiang Bai frowned.
Tianli has entered a weak state?
No wonder the Ice Queen dared to jump like this. It turned out that Tianli did not have enough control over Teyvat.
This information is really a surprise.
Next time you encounter this kind of Abyss Apostle, you can imitate him again.
"How could this be? Did you sit here and do nothing?" Jiang Bai looked at them, his eyes full of doubts.
The Apostle of Fire Abyss narrowed his eyes, "Since you have come to take over this place, why don't you know why we are here?"
