Chapter 604

According to the method Keqing had taught in advance, when all the Bedrock Keys emitted brilliance, an invisible fluctuation swept across the entire valley.

"This is the last one, right."

After the last Bedrock Key underground sank, Paimon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

One must know that the two of them ran back and forth across the entire Chasm valley, almost without stopping during the period.

Fortunately, there were no monsters in the surface layer of the newly opened valley, and even the Hilichurls the workers said they saw were rarely seen.

Only a desolate scene appeared.

"Hmm, according to Keqing, after the last one is lifted, the passage to the underground mining area will open."

Lumine waited with anticipation.

But in a moment, she witnessed the Bedrock Key, similar to the "Skyfrost Nail," falling from high altitude.

As if triggering some mechanism, the invisible fluctuations in different places connected with each other.

People in this place could feel a slight abnormality, followed by a slight ground tremor, like a small earthquake.

At the same time, streams of bright yellow light flew down from the sky, gathering toward the center of The Chasm along the location of the Bedrock Keys.

Many miners didn't know why and ran away in a panic, fearing that the earthquake would expand.

Only those who knew were as steady as a mountain, knowing that this was just a side effect of the Bedrock Keys being unsealed.

"Look over there!" Paimon pointed to the distance and said urgently to Lumine.

The golden-haired girl looked in the direction of the sound, only to see the center of The Chasm emitting dazzling brilliance, illuminating the originally slightly dim area very clearly.

"The road to the underground mining area is open!"

Paimon was pleasantly surprised and flew toward that direction first, with Lumine following closely behind.

In less than a moment, when the two arrived, there were already many official Liyue figures gathered here.

Fortunately, before coming, they had received orders from the Qixing not to block Lumine and Paimon, and to let the two act freely.

After greeting them, the two who acted as the vanguard didn't stop at all and jumped straight into the bottomless mouth of the Chasm.

"It's so dark! Lumine, I'm a little scared!"

When Lumine spread her wind gliders and entered the darkness under everyone's gaze, Paimon watched the light gradually disappear, and the scene where the surroundings were shrouded in darkness; her initial excitement disappeared without a trace.

She shivered and hid beside Lumine, wishing she could stuff herself into her clothes.

"Relax, it's okay; it's probably the same as the road to Enkanomiya."

The well-informed Lumine was very calm, turning a blind eye to the surrounding darkness.

Along the way, they had seen countless strange horrors, even ghosts, and even actively accompanied Hu Tao to Wuwang Hill.

What was a little darkness?

Encouraged by this, Paimon was finally not so scared.

In the darkness, I don't know how long passed, as if time had stopped here.

"Why haven't we reached the bottom yet?"

"It should be soon; the air is starting to circulate, and the temperature has dropped a lot."

Because of the floating of the wind gliders, the descent speed of the two was definitely not fast.

·· ·Seeking flowers· ·······

About ten minutes passed, and the originally pitch-black scene suddenly changed.

I saw that deep underground, a little bit of visibility was gradually restored.

Wisps of blue brilliance gradually flickered, some dancing in mid-air, and some motionless in the corners, emitting faint light.

"Are those... bugs?"

Paimon was surprised to find a blue light flying in front of her; looking closely, she saw that it was a flying light bug, its tail contracting and expanding, blooming with light.

Unlike her focus, Lumine mainly focused on the surroundings and took out the map given by the Qixing to start comparing.

The location where the two were now was the temporary main mining tunnel; as far as the eye could see, there were mining tool carts and temporary bases.

0.........

However, because no one had come, these buildings and mining tunnel carts were temporarily abandoned, although they were still intact because the time was not long.

Some hanging lights still provided light, struggling to open the field of vision into the distance.

"Where are we going now?"

Lumine looked carefully at the map with few markings and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Although there was a map, this map was not complete, as Keqing had already explained before coming.

Liyue mining had only explored half of it, and a considerable part of the area had not been set foot on; this part of the area needed her to explore it herself.

Thinking for a moment, Lumine made a decision: "Let's search along the main road of the mining tunnel first."

The map was divided into three main bodies: the temporary main mining tunnel, the main mining area of The Chasm, and the underground marshland where dark rivers ran rampant.

Further ahead was pitch black, and there were no marked buildings at all.

Although she didn't think the Abyss Order would make trouble in the places explored by the Liyue authorities, she still planned to search them once before heading to the unknown land.

Lumine had a premonition that the missing piece on the map would definitely allow her to gain a lot.

Paimon agreed with her proposal: "Alright then, let's set off now!"

With light, the little guy was not as scared as she was at the beginning, gradually restoring her energy and her usual playful and mischievous appearance.

Showing a little smile, Lumine handed over a lamp and set off according to the markings on the map.
