Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

No matter how many times Su's armor-piercing bullets hit the core of the Iron Snake, this guy could recover in a short time and launch a new round of attacks.

The giant iron snake swept across in a fan-shaped motion, rolling in death. As it moved, the cracks in the ground became bigger and bigger, and more black mud overflowed from them.

"We can't go on like this, this place will be submerged in black mud." Kong prepared to jump down and dismantle the giant steel snake at close range.

"No!" Sue held him back, "This guy was paralyzed for too short a time. If he recovers, you'll be crushed into a piece of cake!"

Even with a shield, it would be useless because the giant steel snake is too powerful and Kong might be embedded into the ground.

Cracks in the earth spread, and the solid rock ridge began to shake. Su prepared to cast Song of the Sky and retreat with Kong.

Kong looked up at the crystal spike above his head and said, "Perhaps, there is another way..."

Several golden elemental bullets emitted sharp whistles and trailed long flame tails, simultaneously hitting a row of cores of the giant steel snake.

Taking advantage of the brief moment when the giant steel snake was paralyzed, Kong used the element of wind to push himself into the air. The crystal in his hand lit up, completely purifying the abyss energy wrapped around the giant crystal nail.

Su Yi pushed against the rock ridge to gain speed, and flew into the air. The two figures passed by the falling crystal spikes.

With a loud bang, the crystal spikes that had been freed from their shackles fell heavily.

The crystal spikes smashed the giant steel snake to the ground, sending its parts flying everywhere, but it continued to move forward without slowing down until it penetrated the rock layer and melted all the black mud that had overflowed. It then slowly floated up and returned to the air.

This crystal spike, which emits a bright blue glow, seems to have the purpose and function of dissipating the abyssal power beneath the abyss of rock.

"Su! Kong!" Paimeng's anxious voice came from the chaotic smoke and dust, "Where are you? Are you okay?"

The two people who were huddled together observing the crystal spikes were brought back to their senses by Paimon's voice.

Su climbed up from Kong's body, stretched out his hand to pull Kong up, and while checking his condition, he responded loudly to Paimon, "It's okay! Paimon, don't run around, wait for us to go back."

Avoiding the big hole dug by the crystal spikes and the giant steel snake, Su, Kong and Paimon reunited.

Paimon heaved a sigh of relief after making sure that both of them were okay. He was now in the mood to pay attention to other things. "There's actually such a large space down there! It looks so deep."

There wouldn't be anyone in this kind of place, so Kong threw a fist-sized piece of gravel down, hoping to judge the height by the sound of the fall, but there was no sound of the stone hitting the bottom for a long time.

Su, who was picking up the core of the giant steel snake, pushed a piece of the giant steel snake's fragment down. "The stone is too small, so the sound is not obvious, right? This one is big, this one will definitely work!"

This really works.

A moment later, there was a clear sound of metal collision below. Before Kong could calculate the depth, a dark armor with a dented helmet climbed out of the big hole, waving a black spear angrily and rushing towards this side.

null:······

Su: ······

Paimon:...

"Su hit someone?!" Paimon held his face and screamed, then apologized skillfully, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, our child didn't mean it. We will pay for the medical expenses..."

Sora drew his sword, "Paimon, stand back. This is not a human."

How could a normal human appear at the source of the black mud? And with such a deep dent on the helmet, a normal human would have died long ago. This is a monster.

The man in black armor raised the spear in his hand, and the red energy turned into a roll of light satin with ancient emblems depicted on it.

Kong leaned back to avoid the burning sweep of the pitch-black armor, and the long sword stained with the element of wind slashed at the opponent's wrist, making a hollow sound.

There is no flesh inside the armor.

In this case, its attack will not stop unless the opponent is completely destroyed.

Kong simply stepped out of the rocky waves and pushed the black armor to the mountain wall, and then the desolate star fell heavily, completely disintegrating the opponent.

After the desolate star disappeared, Su came over to pick up the spoils. "There are only scraps of copper and iron... Hmm? What is this?"

Among the armor fragments on the ground there was something that looked like a token and a statue, but its specific material could not be seen.

The overall image is of a bearded old man wearing a hood, with a dark red gem embedded in the right eye socket to create the appearance of a one-eyed old man. The image exudes a profound aura.

Su handed it to Sora with disdain, "I don't want it because it's so ugly. Do you want it Sora?"

Before Sora could take a closer look at the engraved image, he heard a cold sigh, {All things under the throne of heaven will eventually perish in the turmoil, and the eternally peaceful dark deep space will embrace everything.}

Kong threw the statue away.

Su was stunned for a second, then nodded in understanding, "You're also impressed by your ugliness, right? Then don't do it."

"Zhiqiong, what are you doing?!" Paimon's scream was heard not far away.

Kong and Su rushed over and found that Zhiqiong had driven in the stakes and tied the cables and was preparing to climb down.

Zhiqiong was very excited. "I didn't expect there was such a large space down there! I still need to continue surveying my map, cough cough cough..."

Zhiqiong coughed so hard that her face turned pale. She loosened the rope with her hands weakly, and a hand grabbed her in time and threw her up.

Zhiqiong thanked him while coughing, "Cough, cough cough, thank you, Senior Su..."

Su hung a water ring on her, and Zhiqiong's pale complexion improved a little, but she still couldn't stop coughing.

Paimeng said worriedly, "Zhiqiong can't go on like this, let's send her back to the camp."

Before Su and Kong could answer, Zhi Qiong rejected it fiercely, "I'm fine! Please don't underestimate me, Senior Paimon. Adventurers are supposed to be such a profession, with danger as their friend and death as their companion."

"I don't underestimate you, it's just that your body...you'll be in danger if you continue like this!"

Paimon knew that although Zhiqiong looked delicate and weak, she was actually very stubborn and strong.

But the erosion of the abyss is no joke. If this continues, it will cause irreversible damage to Zhiqiong!

Kong also nodded, "There are probably a lot of dangerous enemies down there, we may not be able to take care of you."

Paimon then advised: "Everyone actually cares about you, you should take better care of yourself..."

“I cough cough cough... Thank you all for worrying about me. But like I said, this is what an adventurer is like!”

Zhi Qiong's eyes were surprisingly bright. "I envy Senior Kong and Senior Su very much. You are both favored by God. Even if you don't have the Eye of God, you are more powerful than those who have the Eye of God, and you have a brighter future."

"This world is controlled by the gods, but as a mortal, even if I don't have the favor and the "eyes" of the gods, I still have the same persistence that is unwilling to be at peace and forgotten."

"I want to challenge my own limits as a mortal. I want to include the entire Layered Abyss in the map I draw and edit, leaving behind a name that belongs to mortals, and my name, here!"

As dull as she is, she believes that only in this way can she inspire those who come after her, and tell them how far a mortal who is not chosen by the gods can go and what kind of chapter he can leave behind.

Kong was silent for a long time. He did not argue with Zhiqiong about the point of view of the God's beloved. He just suggested: "I admire your pursuit of your ideal, but given your current physical condition, you should return to the camp and rest for a while..."

Zhi Qiong interrupted Kong and said firmly: "I know that without the seniors, I would not be able to overcome the many dangers and reach here. I am very grateful for your help. If the seniors do not want to bring me as a burden, I can understand. From now on, I will rely on my own strength to explore."

"I would rather choose danger than to be with peace and boredom. Rather than lying on a soft bed and waiting for the end, it is better for me to stay here and live!"

"We don't think Zhiqiong is a burden! But if we take you down, it will harm you..." Paimon was so anxious that Zhiqiong's words sounded like a declaration of suicide. And it sounded like even if they sent Zhiqiong back to the camp, she would sneak out.

She could understand those people who sacrificed themselves for their ideals, but she really couldn't bear to watch a life disappear before her eyes.
