"Hahahaha, some common sense cannot be applied to me."
Jiang Bai stroked his hair proudly and laughed so hard that he deserved a beating.
elf:"……"
Just pretend he didn't praise it.
He walked under the fragments of the Cold Sky Nail and picked up a strange cube.
This is what the two abyss apostles dropped after their death.
Jiang Bai looked over curiously, "What is this?"
"Not sure."
This cube is like a mechanical component. If it can be carried around by these two mages, it must not be a mortal object.
Mandrill threw the cube to Jiang Bai, "Maybe it's something important, please keep it safe."
Jiang Bai took it and studied it, but couldn't find any reason.
"Senior Jiang Bai!" Zhiqiong's voice echoed from a distance.
Jiang Bai looked in the direction of the sound. She was standing on a big rock, and the fluorite around her waist was emitting bright light.
"I just heard a huge explosion and couldn't rush over. Are you okay?"
Mandrill, as always, had no intention of contacting mortals and simply disappeared.
Jiang Bai flew over, "It's okay, why are you here? The underground is very deep?"
"Senior Kong has his own mission, I'm here to explore the way." Zhiqiong said with a smile.
"And I am an adventurer. Adventurers want to take risks!"
As she continued to go deeper, her physical condition was not good.
But the energy is very exciting.
"It's very dangerous here, you'd better be careful." Jiang Bai reminded.
Whether it is possible monsters or these black mud, they are very dangerous to ordinary people.
Especially in places where the black mud is very rich.
"I know, don't worry about me." Zhiqiong looked at the center of the dark gathering, and then at the high-hanging inverted palace.
"Senior, what happened here?"
"I met several Abyss Apostles and had some battles. How did you get here? Have you been here before?"
Jiang Bai initially thought that there was only one way to enter this underground ruins, and that was the way opened by the fragments of the Sky Nail.
But later I discovered the log among the fools. Those fools obviously came here earlier. There must not have been a direct underground passage at that time.
In other words, they came to this ruins from another road.
"I have been here before. There is a shortcut on the other side of the water. It is very remote and not easy for people to find."
As a former miner, my familiarity with the Great Abyss is more than just talk.
Now it's just a matter of walking the same path again, recording all the terrain data, and drawing it into a map.
"There's a lot of black mud down here, you'd better not get close to this area."
Zhiqiong nodded, "Staying here makes me feel hypoxic, dizzy, and very uncomfortable, but the air here seems to be a little better now than before..."
Jiang Bai sighed, "Although I have purified some black mud, the black mud wells cannot be purified. Over time, this place will be covered with black mud again. If it is not necessary, you'd better stay away from here."
The fragment of the Cold Sky Nail can only slow down the speed of black mud condensing from the well.
If there was an entire Hantian Nail here, maybe the problem would be solved.
"Senior, I know." Zhiqiong coughed uncontrollably. She stayed underground for a long time, and the anomalies in the underground inevitably affected her body.
"Does your body really matter?"
Jiang Bai felt that she was a little too hard.
You must know that this is already very deep in the ground. Even people with divine eyes would not dare to come down and explore rashly.
But Zhiqiong, an ordinary person, walked deeper than Kong.
Seeing the worry in Jiang Bai's eyes, Zhiqiong smiled.
"These are all small problems, difficulties that adventurers must go through. It doesn't matter, really. And you know, adventurers are such a profession. They are friends with danger and death. This small reaction does not count. Whatever, don’t worry about me.”
"Although adventure is good, it must be done in moderation. You must know that most adventurers die in corners that no one knows about. Even if they have legendary experiences, no one knows about them."
Jiang Bai has more contact with the group of adventurers.
When he went out on business, he mostly collected the remains of these adventurers.
Some people here love adventure, some are here for wealth and treasures, and some are pursuing conquest and self-transcendence...
But there is no doubt that taking risks is a very dangerous thing.
It's a matter of tying your head to the waistband of your pants. If you neglect it, it will be difficult to see the sun the next day.
Therefore, the mortality rate of adventurers is also quite high.
Zhiqiong couldn't deny Jiang Bai's words and said with a smile: "Aren't you still here, senior? Isn't the meaning of your business so that we adventurers can still have stories to survive after we die?"
"Oh, my business was just for collecting corpses at the beginning... It's all Katis's fault for leading you all astray..."
Jiang Bai sighed.
It's obviously a corpse collection business, but few customers actually come here to collect corpses.
Jiang Bai strongly condemned these guys who did not take their bodies seriously.
Zhiqiong said in a relaxed tone:
"The environment here is no more difficult than that of Longji Snow Mountain. If my seniors don't laugh at me for not overestimating my abilities, I would consider myself to be no worse than Katis.
"If something really happened to me, please ask Senior to take my body, my map, and my story out."
Zhiqiong didn't take his own life or death seriously.
There are always some things that are more important than life.
Or a great ideal, perhaps a duty, or a heart unwilling to be ordinary...
She thought she had all these things.
She is not willing to be ordinary, she wants to do things that no one has ever done before, she wants to be ahead of everyone, she wants to leave her own adventure legend, she wants to prove that even someone as ordinary and insignificant as she is Ordinary people are no worse than those favored by gods.
"Then you should keep more diaries, like the great adventurer Alice, and write "Exploration of the Great Strata Abyss" or something. Otherwise, there will be no stories to tell. Don't turn into a ghost and come to trouble me... "
Jiang Bai respects her choice.
This is an adventurer who refuses to settle for the ordinary.
Even if she dies chasing her ideals, she will still be happy.
Seeing that Jiang Bai did not stop her idea, Zhiqiong was in a good mood, and she patted her backpack.
"Senior, don't worry. I've already started recording it since the business was settled."
One day, her "Exploration of the Strata Abyss" will be as well known to the world as her "Guide to Browsing Teyvat".
Her Zhiqiong name will also become a new monument like Katis.
Personally, I still like Zhiqiong. Many people say that she doesn't listen to advice, doesn't know her own abilities, is looking for death, etc...
But she had already put her own life aside,
Such people are no longer something that mediocre ordinary people like me can judge.
After I finished writing this plot, I posted her letter, and I was moved every time I read it.
