A huge abyss of rock.

The empty caves are connected layer by layer. The roads are sometimes narrow and sometimes wide, winding and extending in all directions. Sometimes, it is hard to tell whether you are going down or up.

The complex terrain features abyss-like cliffs from time to time, as well as cold and deep underground rivers. The sound of flowing water brings eerie echoes.

This is the abyss for ordinary adventurers, depressing and dark. If you are not careful, you will find yourself lost just by looking at the environment in front of you.

In the darkness, Jiang Yi looked at the large area of ​​black mud that he saw again.

Although the scene before our eyes was spectacular, the strange colors and the wonders it brought did not make people feel excited and curious, but rather chilling.

The sticky black mud covered the mine from top to bottom, left to right, front to back. Liquid was dripping from the stone pillars on the rock wall above. The bulges on the liquid were as dense as festering boils, like eyes in the purple-red abyss, evil and ominous. The liquid on the ground was flowing, forming purple-black bulges.

Hillilchur people, young rock dragon lizards, rock dragon lizards, slimes... the monsters that were attracted and swallowed the black mud looked at the newcomers restlessly.

Fire floated on Jiang Yi's body. The fire started from the unknown fire talisman on his waist and turned into a golden red flame, burning the monster.

A bottle appeared in his palm, with ancient runes floating on the bottle, absorbing the surrounding black mud.

"When I came here, there were many places with such abnormal changes." Ying said, "However, after we investigated the thing below, the phenomenon of the surging black mud has eased a lot."

"Yeah!" Jiang Yi nodded and walked a long way again.

Although I'm going to meet the exploration team,

Walk out of the temporary main mine tunnel of the abyss and arrive at the "main mining area".

Going further, at the end of the main mining area, you can see a cannon mounted on the road.

The muzzle of the gun was pointed at a passage with a lot of golden and brown gravel on the ground.

"Safe Distance Demolition Device Type 2156." Paimon called out the name of the cannon seriously, and Ying laughed, "It's amazing that Paimon remembered this name."

"After all, the safety technician said that everyone in the engineering team calls it that, and only ordinary miners would call it the cute name 'Mountain Blaster'." Paimeng spread his hands.

"Will it look more classy and professional?" Jiang Yi glanced at the cannon.

Liyue's cannons are usually equipped with rock shells.

Among the elements of Teyvat, the rock element is generally considered to be inert. However, if a sufficient concentration of rock element particles are compressed into a small container, the reaction can be stimulated to generate very powerful energy and explosive power.

The former is the basic knowledge of alchemy, and the latter is the advanced knowledge of alchemy.

The way the holder of the Eye of God uses elements is even more special.

"Paimon, you seem to have learned a lot of knowledge in your last adventure in the Layered Abyss?" On the way, Jiang Yi looked at Paimon kindly, just like looking at a child who had just returned from school at a relative's house.

"Do you want me to test you?"

"For example, the maintenance of the cannon, the structure of the safety mechanism, the signal light of the safe distance blasting device, and the location of the installation..."

"No! I'm not taking the exam for the Xumi Institute, so I don't want to ask any questions." Paimon crossed his arms and snorted.

"That's a pity." Jiang Yi walked towards the mine, "Obviously, this knowledge is quite interesting."

He stretched out his hand, passed through space, and a cannonball appeared in his hand.

"This cannonball looks familiar." Paimon looked at the cannonball marked with the rock element.

The shells in the abyss have no fuse or catalytic activity. They can be kicked like a ball and will not explode.

So, don’t be afraid when you see it.

"I just took them from the warehouse where the shells are stored." Jiang Yi said, "The rock element catalysts inside these shells have all turned into lumen crystals, becoming new inert substances..."

Lumen stone, this power is more stable than rock element.

The power that erupts is even more terrifying.

This is the mystery from the "sky". Jiang Yi's eyes checked the memory of the shells, and saw the process of the rock element catalyst being reconstructed into lumen stone under external force.

He tried to "reverse" the other party and turn it back into a rock element catalyst, but failed.

For him who controls the laws of rotation, this is a rare thing.

The law of rotation also involves reconstruction, which means that the law of power between these transformations is deeper than he can control. Just like the curse on the hill people.

"Everything turns into rare treasures from heaven, suppressing the abyss..." Jiang Yi looked at the ground veins. In these ground veins, there is the power inside the Luminous Stone, as well as the power of the abyss, the power of forbidden knowledge and many other powers flowing. "The proliferation of these minerals... is like a banyan tree, a single tree forms a forest. The range affected by the source is where they can grow."

Endless knowledge flowed through Jiang Yi's mind.

The lumen stone in his hand instantly turned into the same lumen stone catalyst as the one in Ying's hand, which had the function of absorbing the energy of the surrounding lumen stones.

Rays of energy flickered and turned into light spots, and the purifying energy of the Lumen Stone became more and more powerful.

"Quantitative change and qualitative change. A dose of rock essential oil potion is stable and can make people more friendly to rock elements. The holder of the Eye of God can cause more powerful rock element damage. For ordinary people, it can be regarded as a good medicine for treating bruises and injuries." Jiang Yi looked at the lumen stone, "But..."

"The double-concentrated rock essential oil will become extremely unstable, changing from inert to active and explosive, making it possible for the structure of the organism to 'disintegrate', 'rupture', 'leak' or 'disintegrate', and... cause more injuries."

"So will a sufficient amount of concentrated Lumen Stone energy produce the same effect as 'double concentrated rock essential oil'?"

Jiang Yinian thought quickly: "The energy of Lumen Stone is somewhat different from that of Rock Element, but it's hard to say."

He looked deeply at what was in his hand, as if he was looking at his own future.

"Wow! When we went to the warehouse before, we had to get the key. In the end, we found that all the shells were unusable due to mutations. We could only ask the rescued members of the treasure-hunting team to use the synthesis table to reconfigure the fuses and explosives." Paimeng was very envious of Jiang Yi's ability to take things with his empty hands.

Jiang Yi came back to his senses and glanced at Paimeng: "Can't you disappear?"

"Even if you disappear, you can't pass through the wall!" Paimon stomped his feet.

"Is that so?" Jiang Yi didn't completely believe it.

Continue walking side by side with Ying.

The mine tunnel in front of us is very long. It was newly dug by the miners. It was also at the end of this mine tunnel that they dug up the thing that caused the abnormal changes in the abyss of rock.

This caused everyone to evacuate in a hurry and block the unfinished mine tunnel with huge rocks.

There are no shelters or rest areas here. It is more dangerous than the previous mining area, at least for mortals.

Walking into this place, the mine tunnel that was originally illuminated by golden ore and bright stone lamps became dim and had an unsettling purple color.

Plants with abyssal colors are growing, and fluorescent-colored ground vein plants are also growing, forming two different atmospheres.

Walk down the abandoned wooden staircase at the end.

In the huge hole, rock pillars formed by cube-shaped piles spread down from above and connected with the broken earth below. The stone pillars spread up, and cube-shaped rubble was suspended around them.

Very unnatural.

The blocks solidified in the void always reminded Jiang Yi of the divine chain composed of red blocks that he saw appear in Kanriya five hundred years ago.

At that time, a god from the sky took action, bringing a blood-red glow like the end of the world.

But I really didn't want to say more, so I said: "Wait until you are stronger! I will tell you everything! At least, you have to help cover up my words. Now, even if it is inside you, it is not enough."

Jiang Yi's eyes swept across the area and found three strange mechanisms below.

"The strange crystal that was dug out has flown away, smashed the ground, and entered the underground." Ying finally revealed the secret, "In fact, deeper down, where the Liyue miners can't reach, there are things similar to the floating nails on the Dragon Spine Snow Mountain."

"And the crystals that appeared here were fragments of something bigger."

"The crystal is the source of the rampant growth of the 'Lumen Stone' in the Layered Abyss. After we unlocked the three mechanisms that suppressed the crystal, it was attracted by the larger fragment and inevitably merged with it."

Jiang Yi began to watch the replay of the earth veins.

Many auras that did not belong here were intertwined. A spherical crystal was located in the center of the upper and lower stone pillars. It had a mysterious and exquisite pattern and emitted a bright, star-like blue light.

Many pieces of rubble surround it like star rings, and pure light illuminates the surroundings. In the void, rays of energy converge into it.

Further away, the breath of the abyss formed an ominous purple fog. In places where the light could not reach, it flowed like a river, forming large areas of black mud and numerous pustules underground.

Many monsters, including former soldiers of Kanreya and those knights who were just empty shells, were roaring abnormally.

These forces have led to an acceleration of geological structural changes in the abyss in recent years.

"By the way, Jiang Yi. That Zhiqiong, the cartographer of the exploration team I mentioned, is seriously ill. I left her a copy of the medicine you prepared to treat the villagers infected by the evil spirit in Feimu Village. I don't know if it works." Ying pursed her lips. The essence of Jiang Yi's treatment of those infected with the evil spirit is actually to devour the evil spirit's aura in the other person's body.

Although Jiang Yi often did this and did not show any pain, she was still a little worried, especially because of the ominous aura here, which seemed to be darker than the remnants of the demon.

Before, everyone on the exploration team, including herself, became irritable.

Because of the surrounding environment and the influence of the surrounding black mud.

Others had multiple altercations.

Only she and Paimon are slightly better.

This time, if she asks Jiang Yi for help, will he cure Zhiqiong by swallowing ominous things?

So, she never told this matter until she met Zhiqiong.
