Chapter 339

The exploration of the underground mining area was boring and mechanical, which easily wore down people’s patience.

Because only Lumine and Paimon entered the mouth of the giant abyss on this trip, the entire mining cave presented an atmosphere that was quiet to the point of being dead silence.

Fortunately, the underground was different from the surface, and the scenery could be considered beautiful; enjoying the scenery along the way was better than nothing.

"If only it were as beautiful as Enkanomiya here," Paimon said with regret.

Lumine rolled her eyes at her.

You have the nerve to say that; Enkanomiya was the place where the people of the White Night Kingdom lived; is it comparable to a simple mining cave?

The two were completely different styles and levels.

Along the way, because no accidents were found, the vigilance of the two dropped slightly.

"It seems that the cleanup work by the Liyue side is done well," Lumine thought thoughtfully.

At least in the places on the map, you couldn't find "087" a single monster; even if it had been blocked for a period of time, you still didn't encounter danger.

The safe time didn't last long; when they walked to the main mining area, they suddenly found something wrong.

From a certain moment, the breath permeating the air was no longer quiet and cool, but full of an ominous and evil taste; the nauseating smell drifted from afar.

At the same time, the originally normal stone walls had a touch of purple at some point.

Purple itself represents nobility, but the purple in the depths of the mining cave was full of ominous malice.

Lumine’s face gradually became heavy; as the two went deeper, the purple on the stone walls became heavier and heavier, until it slowly presented rare veins extending from the depths.

These veins were like blood vessels, circling and connecting the entire depths of the giant abyss.

Before walking halfway through the main mining area of the giant abyss, the top of the mining cave, the stone walls, and the ground occasionally appeared with clusters of purple lumps that looked like hearts, breathing and changing, which was chilling.

"What are those things?!" Paimon exclaimed.

Lumine shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

The two gradually became silent; as they went deeper, those "purple hearts" became more and more.

It was as if some evil creature was invading the mining cave, thereby deriving one heart after another.

"Lumine, I have a bad premonition."

Keqing had never said that there were such things under the mining cave.

It seems that during the closure period, abnormalities really appeared.

Or rather, the closure at the beginning was because these things were discovered.

No wonder they didn't dare to open the mining cave directly; it needed to be blocked for so long, even if it implicated many industries in Liyue, they didn't care.

Gently exhaling, the two looked at each other and firmly moved forward to the depths.

Since she promised Keqing to help check the abnormalities inside while searching for clues, Lumine would never break her promise.

As the ominous taste became heavier and heavier, the two finally came to a location that looked like a stone hall.

In their line of sight, there was a pitch-black passage leading to the deeper underground in the center, and there was evil black mud around it that hindered outsiders from entering it.

The black mud was like a tide, blocking all nearby locations, flowing wantonly on the surface.

Paimon’s face was a little ugly: "It seems we can't move forward."

"No, look over there."

Lumine had a different view on this, pointing to the glowing minerals beside the black mud.

Under her observation, the black mud group evaporated and dissipated whenever it approached those blue objects similar to minerals.

"Eh? They seem to be able to restrain the black mud?!" Paimon showed a look of surprise.

Lumine nodded, trying to move those things away to purify the black mud.

Sure enough, as expected, the black mud was quickly purified powerlessly, opening up a road to the depths of the underground.

"Let's go over quickly!"

Taking advantage of the moment the passage was opened, the two rushed into the center.

Almost the moment the two entered it, the sea of black mud instantly submerged the road that had been opened with great difficulty.

Seeing this scene, Lumine thought thoughtfully.

It seems that those blue minerals are both a nemesis, but they can't persist for too long under a large amount of black mud.

This point needs to be reported later.

Thinking so, the two slid down along the passage that seemed to be cast from blue minerals as a whole.

Compared with the passage at the mouth of the giant abyss, this one was much smaller and not so deep.

Like a nesting doll, the two entered The Chasm, and the narrow mining tunnels and falling passages they passed were countless.

The two who were already used to it descended slowly.

However, this time was completely different from the previous few times; what appeared in their eyes next was a huge surprise.. .

When the passage descended to the bottom and the two stayed at the steep stone wall, they were completely shocked by the scene that appeared in front of them.

"Hiss! That is... a city?!" Paimon gasped.

At this moment, even Lumine was shocked by it.

Before coming down, she had imagined that it might be the aftermath of the Abyss outbreak, or a secret stronghold executed by the Abyss Order.

But no matter how she imagined it, she never thought she could see an entire city here.

And this city was a little different.

"In the air... upside down, a city!"

This scene was completely beyond imagination.

Witnessing the architecture that surpassed the work of the gods, Lumine and Paimon were speechless for a while.

I saw the huge city cluster located at the top of the underground, interlocking and connecting with each other.

Most of them had been damaged, and it was difficult to find perfect buildings.

It stretched to the invisible end of the distance; it was hard to imagine how big it was, it was simply like mirroring and replicating a city here completely.

Who had such great ability?!

Looking at this city, Paimon suddenly remembered something and said: "Wait, why do I have a sense of familiarity looking at it?"

Lumine gave the answer without thinking: "The filthy inverted statue we saw in Mondstadt."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes! That's it, it's weird, upside down, and has some shocking feeling."

Paimon clapped her hands in agreement: "In this way, the bottom of The Chasm is really related to the Abyss Order! We have to find a way to investigate!"

Without any doubt, the two locked the culprit on the Abyss Order at the same time.

There was no way, who told them to do similar things.

Regardless of whether they did it or not, anyway, it was right to put the hat on them first.

Just as the two were about to set off, the space behind them suddenly fluctuated.

The two who had been in contact several times looked over immediately.

But not far from the two, a dark blue passage like a starry sky unfolded, and a familiar figure stepped out of it.

Lumine and Paimon were stunned: "Why is it you?!"

Dainsleif looked at the disappointed expressions of the two and couldn't help but be a little confused; what kind of expression is this?!

Is it necessary to put on this look when you see me?!.
