Chapter 504 Mysterious Relics, News from the Abyss Apostle

Jiang Yi chatted with Ying and Paimeng, and learned about their experiences after arriving in Liyue.

After sending Hall Master Hu back, they went to Wanmin Hall to buy food and took the opportunity to see if there were any commissions in the Adventurer's Guild of Liyue that could be brought to Mondstadt. They met Ganyu and Sister Lan, the branch president of the Adventurer's Guild.

From the two of them, we learned that there were two giants in the north and south of the treasure-hunting groups in Mondstadt and Liyue. The leaders of the treasure-hunting groups in these two areas, "Southern Eldest Sister" and "Northern Strange Bird", were so bold that they were ready to unite to do something big.

They discovered an unexcavated relic in a small mountain range north of the Xianjia Cave Ao Zang Mountain.

The ruins are secretly guarded by the Abyss Cult. The treasure-stealing groups are spying on the treasures in the secret realm of the ruins, and they believe that a place that can cause the Abyss Cult to make such a big fuss must have unprecedented treasures.

Therefore, a "great thief Bao Jia" was invited from Fontaine.

The "Great Treasure Thief" is the most elite expert in the treasure-stealing group, comparable to the "Great Adventurer" among adventurers. It is a lofty status like Mr. Stanley and Ms. Alice, the author of the "Guide to Teyvat Travel".

The leaders of the two treasure-stealing groups sent a group of cannon fodder to lure away the forces of the Abyss Cult, and let the "Big Treasure Thief" personally take charge of the entire treasure-stealing plan.

Finally, the "big thief" went in to take the treasure.

Ganyu was worried that this matter related to the abyss contained unknown threats, so she came to the adventurer to issue a commission.

Ying naturally took it over without hesitation.

Relying on the teleportation anchor point opened during the previous travel to Liyue, he quickly arrived at the ruins and rushed into the secret realm.

The information provided by the General Affairs Department to Ganyu was indeed reliable. She entered the depths of the secret realm without encountering many guards.

"Then, we saw a very scary and strange scene." Ying no longer needed to close her eyes, the scene seemed to be right in front of her.

"In the secret realm, there is an upside-down statue of the Seventh Heaven, the statue of Barbatos, the god of wind."

"The statue was entangled in chains, and in its hands it no longer held a precious orb, but instead held an abyssal energy so strong that it made me feel oppressed."

"It's like it can shake the devil." She described it this way.

"In front of the upside-down statue, a group of treasure-stealing people were kneeling with their heads bowed. They were probably the 'great treasure-stealer', and they had already lost their breath of life."

"We sensed danger and were about to leave when countless abyssal energies erupted on the ground, making the environment even more dangerous."

"Paimon and I passed a road full of traps and came to an intersection, where we encountered..."

"I encountered the Apostle of the Abyss that Dyne mentioned before."

"The other party is using a force we have never seen before, it is very powerful."

"But in the middle of the fight, the other party left."

Ying didn't say anything, but the Apostle of the Abyss seemed to know her and recognized her power, so he left.

"Then, after we escaped, we met Dain who was hunting the Apostles of the Abyss," Paimon added.

"I didn't expect to meet you here either." Dain looked at me strangely. "We meet again sooner than I thought."

"As for the upside-down statue you mentioned, I have never encountered anything like it when I was fighting against the Abyss, but I have some guesses."

"But now, the Abyss Apostle who was fighting with you at the secret road intersection may not have gone far. Let's catch up with him first. This is a rare opportunity."

Ying and Paimon naturally agreed as they wanted to solve more mysteries of the abyss. Jiang Yi was also very interested in the materials on the monsters of the Abyss Cult, "Old branches of the earth veins", "Dead leaves of the earth veins", "New sprouts of the earth veins", these items are now completely dependent on them.

Without them, the pocket anchor cannot be built.

"Okay!" A sword light flashed in Jiang Yi's eyes.

Although he and the Abyss Mage Wangwangbing are good friends, as a spy of the Abyss on the human side, he can only gain more trust from humans by killing more of his colleagues and crushing more Abyss mages to ashes.

Following the traces of the elements, the three of them and Paimeng moved forward quickly.

Soon, next to a scrapped ruins guard, a water abyss mage and an ice abyss mage and the hillbillies they controlled were seen.

After taking a look at the Ice Abyss Mage and knowing that he was not Wangwang Bing, Jiang Yi took out the Song of Wind and Flower.

A green wind element arrow was shot out.

"Poem of the Wind God".

By merely driving the partial control of the wind element, Qianfeng turned into a vortex of wind and a black hole, pulling the Abyss Mage and the Hillilchurls together.

The water element, the ice element, and the fire element from the hill people's torches continued to spread and react under the wind element.

After the blue, white, cyan and red elemental lights flashed, Jiang Yi casually collected the spoils.

In the air, wisps of ashes fell, without any smell of blood.

"Are they trying to ambush us?" Paimon dodged the ashes in the air.

"No, they are just looking for something in the remains of the ruins guards." Dain's expression remained unchanged, and he showed no guilt for killing the Abyss Mage.

"Ah?" Paimon saw Dain reaching out to touch the Ruins Guard. "Are they looking for something like a 'chaos device' or a 'chaos circuit'? Ying and Jiang Yi often do this. But why would the Abyss Mage look for these things?"

Ying and Jiang Yi glanced at Paimeng at the same time. Why did they seem like ragpickers in her description?

Paimon felt the surroundings grow colder.

"It's not those ordinary things." Dain seemed to have his own intelligence channels. "The reason why I investigated nearby is because there are often Abyss Mages going out to explore from that ruins. I understand that they seem to want to find a 'specific precious item' from the remains of the ruins guards and bring it back to the ruins."

He stood up and said, "Looking at their disappointed expressions, they probably haven't found it yet."

"Jiang Yi, you're acting too quickly, right? We can capture the Abyss Mage and torture him." Paimon realized belatedly, "Ying and I have seen Master Diluk torture the Abyss Mage with the Hand of Reverse Flame before, and he confessed after a few attempts."

"Okay! Be careful next time." Jiang Yi looked at the "Old Branch of the Earth Vein" in his hand. The explosion rate of these two Abyss Mages was not high.

"No need!" Dyne said, "I can feel that this matter is of great significance to the Abyss Cult. The truth cannot be obtained by simple torture."

"Moreover, these Abyss Mages face a fear deeper than any torture..."

"Let's keep chasing."

Dain took the lead.

"Fear..." Hearing this, Paimon felt his hair stand on end.

The crowd continued to track south.

I saw the active ruins guards, and also saw a pair of Abyss Mages guarding the abandoned ruins.

After gaining the power of wind, Jiang Yi liked these groups of abyss mages the most.

Without further ado, an arrow was shot from a distance.

In the wind, the elements reacted brilliantly and dangerously, and the screams of the Abyss Mage and the Hillilchurls were soon drowned out by the sound of the wind.

Only materials that do not participate in the elemental reaction are left in place.

“If you use a sword, you might break the material. But if you use soft elements, the material can remain intact.” Jiang Yi put the spoils into the ring. The Abyss Mage, who was rarely seen in normal times, was now like a cabbage, providing him with supplies to build a pocket anchor.
