Chapter 245 The Mystery of Layered Rocks

Liu Su looked at Yae Shenzi and Ying who were lying in their yard and eating, and said, "You two, just went to Mondstadt for two days and stayed here with me?"

"There's nothing interesting outside." Yae Shenzi replied, "Besides, the traveler has been lying at home these days, so we can't find anything to do."

"Shenzi is right." Ying agreed, "If you still feel it's inappropriate, then Shenzi will give you a rub."

Yae Shenzi: "???"

Liu Su: "."

Liu Su looked at the two of them and sighed. After thinking for a while, she decided to go out fishing.

On the other side, Paimon said to Ying, who was playing Genshin Impact II crazily with a game console: "Ying, when are we going to Xumi? We have been in Liyue for several days, so we should have rested enough."

"Not yet, wait until I finish these tasks. Why do I have to do the pre-requisites for the inter-chapter tasks of the Stratum Abyss?" Ying couldn't help but complained as she looked at the tasks: "Paimon, have you done this task?"

Paimon shook his head and said: "No, because there are too many legendary tasks, and there are not enough keys. I get a key fragment every day, and I can only change it every eight days. How can I unlock it?"

"And some legendary tasks also require pre-requisites, just like to do the legendary tasks of Venti and Qin, you must first complete the legendary tasks of Klee." Paimon scratched his head and continued.

"So what have you done now?" Ying asked in confusion.

Paimon replied, "The ones that became generals, Zhongli, and Nashida, because unlocking these can unlock the weekly materials, I think they should be done first."

"How do you know that these tasks have weekly materials?"

"Isn't there a small manual in the upper right corner? Open it and you can know what to complete first in these dungeons, right? Ying, you won't not read it, right?" Paimon asked suspiciously.

Ying: "."

Well, she really didn't read it. All the tasks were unlocked randomly, and one was completed one by one.

"Hey, then my Layered Rock Abyss task won't wait for eight days?" Ying rubbed his head in pain and said.

Paimon suddenly thought of something after listening to Ying's words, and touched his chin and asked in confusion: "Speaking of Layered Rock Abyss, before we left that time, I took a special look. There seemed to be light in the pit on the ground. Don't you think it's strange?"

"The place you are talking about has a huge blue nail like Mond Snow Mountain?" Ying replied.

"Yes, but you seemed very angry that day, because someone suddenly appeared when you were collecting data and knocked down the nail, causing the giant snake of the ruins to be destroyed by the nail, and we missed a lot of Mora." Paimon nodded.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Ying looked at Paimon and questioned.

Paimon scratched his head and said a little unkindly: "That's because you were too angry at the time. I was afraid that you would deduct my food allowance for next month if I spoke, so I planned to wait until you were angry before talking about it. As a result, something happened later that made me forget it."

"Hehe, even if you tell me now, I'm still very angry. Your food allowance for next month will be halved!" Ying said angrily.

Paimon: "."

After a moment of silence, Paimon whispered to Ying: "How about we go over and take a look now? I think there should be something good that will be useful to your strength."

"Then let's go. If there is something good, I will increase your food allowance next month. If not, your food allowance for next month will be halved again." Ying put away the game console and stood up and said to Paimon.

"Ying, are we leaving now? You don't want to play "Genshin Impact II" anymore?" Paimeng looked at Ying who stood up and asked in confusion.

Ying shook her head and said, "I don't want to play anymore. All my tasks are stuck. If I play again, I can only kill some monsters and get a few treasure chests. It's meaningless."

Paimeng listened to Ying's words and spread his hands helplessly and said, "Okay, then I'll leave."

Paimeng opened the Skynet map and suddenly saw some golden anchor points in the Layered Rock Abyss. He shouted in surprise, "Huh? There are anchor points there, but it seems that golden anchor point permissions are required. It is estimated that Liusu Anza went there. We can just teleport directly."

Ying nodded and said, "Then let's teleport directly. This can save a lot of effort. Liusu is better. Otherwise, we have to walk step by step from above."

After Ying finished speaking, he took Paimeng and flashed to the lower level of the Layered Rock Abyss.

"Well, it's still so gloomy here. If it weren't for the investigation, I wouldn't want to come." After the two figures appeared, Paimeng looked at the surrounding environment and complained in a low voice.

"You're the one who brought it up. If you hadn't said it, I would have forgotten about it." Ying replied.

"Okay, okay." Paimeng scratched his head and said, "Hey, Ying, look, is there someone there?"

"You're dazzled, right? How could there be someone here? Hey, there's actually someone, and it's Yanfei." Ying turned his head and looked in the direction of Paimeng, and saw a red figure running away and hiding behind a rock.

"Yanfei? What is she doing here? Let's go and ask her." Paimeng was puzzled after hearing Ying's words.

Ying interrupted, "Okay, okay, you don't have to say so much, I'm not dumb here."

Paimeng: "."

Yanfei noticed someone approaching from behind, she turned her head quickly, and when she saw Ying and Paimeng, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Traveler and Paimeng? I didn't expect to meet you in a place like this."

"That's what I'm about to say, Yan Fei, don't you usually work in Liyue Port? Why did you end up in a place where birds don't poop?" Paimeng asked.

"Well, to be honest, this job is indeed a bit special. The bottom of the layered rock abyss looks like this. This is the first time I have seen it." Yan Fei replied: "Oh, no! You two, do me a favor. Someone is here. Look for me, and if they ask, tell me you haven’t seen me!”

"Ah? Yan Fei, can't you just teleport away?" Paimon asked doubtfully.

After hearing Paimon's words, Yan Fei asked doubtfully: "Teleport? I teleported back and had to run back again. There is no anchor point here."

"But, we teleported here based on the anchor point?" Paimon scratched his head and pointed to the anchor point behind Yan Fei and said, "Look, that anchor point is behind us."

"Ah? You're talking about this. This is a special anchor point. Except for a few True Lords, ordinary people cannot use it." Yan Fei said.

"Isn't Yan Fei a disciple of the Immortal? Why can't he use it?" Paimeng asked doubtfully.

Yan Fei explained: "This is different. The golden anchor points are a special kind of anchor points. The appearance of these anchor points also represents crisis. They are also the location of the immortal cave, but each immortal has his own anchor at the entrance of the cave. Click permission, only those they allow can use the anchor points at the entrance of their cave, and the golden anchor points that appear outside mean that these are not for us to use, these are what the master told me. "

"So that's it." Paimon nodded and said, "Then what did you mean before?"

Ying also nodded and said: "Yan Fei, don't break the law!"

"No, it's a long story." Yan Fei replied, "Anyway, I'll leave the prevarication to you. See you later."

"Hey!" Paimon shouted to Yan Fei's hurried away figure: "Yan Fei really left, and she said it was very dangerous here. What should I do? I suddenly felt a little scared."

After saying this, Paimon touched his chin and said to the screen: "Tell me, did she break any law and escaped here? Could it be something terrible?"

"How is it possible? I was the one joking about Yan Fei just now. She wouldn't do such a thing." Ying shook her head.

Paimon folded his arms and said to her with a preaching look on his face: "Don't be too naive! This society is very complicated. Prepare for the worst first. If something happens, we will become her accomplices! "

"Then I'll pass the responsibility on to you." Ying said with a smile.

"Hey! How can you be a good partner if you don't have sympathy? Hmm, I'm so confused about whether to protect her or not."

Seeing Paimon getting entangled again over some trivial matters, Ying sighed helplessly and said, "Paimon, you are really stupid and naive."

Paimon said angrily: "Well, don't say that to me. I'm really worried."

"Hey! Guy over there!"

Hearing the voice coming from behind again, Paimon said in surprise: "Huh? Someone else is coming?"

“But I always feel like I’ve heard this voice somewhere before.”

After listening to Paimon's words, Ying replied: "This voice belongs to Arataki Ito. I've seen it before at the Rongcai Festival."

"Oh, I was just wondering why it looks so familiar." Pamon scratched his head and said.

And Arataki Ito also came in front of the two of them. He smiled and greeted Ying and Paimon: "Haha, it's the two of you who came to a place like this for vacation?"

"Yeah, I think the atmosphere here is good. I'm here for vacation." Ying replied.

"Well, that's right." After hearing Ying's words, Arataki Yidou's smile froze, and then he changed the subject and said, "Oh! Judging from your appearance, you must have a good mouth, right? Me too, hahaha."

Paimon looked at the unknown green-haired woman behind Arataki Ito and asked, "Who is the person behind you?"

"Hello, I am Kuki-nin, a member of the Arataki faction." The woman greeted.

After hearing what Kuuki-nin said, Arataki said after a fight, "Ah haha, I almost forgot, let me introduce to you. This is the most powerful person in our Arataki sect, Aren!"

"Oh! It turns out he is also from the Arataki sect!" Paimon nodded.

Arataki Ito said: "The powerful people who hang out in Hanamizaka must join our Arataki faction. Usually Aren handles everything in the gang, so let her take care of you."

Kuki Shinobu greeted the two of them again: "The boss's friend is my friend. It's a pleasure to meet you two, Traveler and Paimon."

"You are very wise, then I will call you A-Nin." Paimon smiled and nodded.

Yingye greeted politely: "Nice to meet you, A-Nin."

Jiuqi Ren nodded and said: "Well, please take care of me in the future. In fact, I have a hunch. Maybe I will need your care soon."

At this time, Paimon suddenly thought of something and asked Arataki Ito: "But Ito, you just said that she is the one who settles the affairs of your gang? Then she is actually the boss, right?"

After listening to Paimon's words, Arataki Yitou said with a somewhat dissatisfied tone: "Paimon, what nonsense are you talking about? I am the boss. I have always been the only boss of the Hanamisaka Arataki sect in the world!"

Paimon nodded and said: "I understand, it's a useless boss and a powerful subordinate."

Arataki was stunned by Paimeng's sharp words, then shook his head and said: "Hey! Oh, forget it, it's normal that you can't understand it with your little brain. I don't have the same knowledge as you."

"Let's get back to the subject, have you ever seen a pink Lü. Lü so-and-so mage? Anyway, he is a man who knows a lot. He is not tall and wears a strange hat."

"Hey!" After hearing Arataki Yidou's words, Paimon couldn't help but be surprised.

Jiu Qinren explained: "It's a legal consultant from Liyue named Yan Fei. I guess you two may know each other."

Paimon said with a somewhat panicked tone: "No, I've never seen him before! I've never known him either!"

"Aren't you just asking for it?" Ying couldn't help but complain.

Arataki Yidou asked doubtfully: "Oh? It seems that you have seen her?"

"No, I didn't say anything just now." Pamon waved his hand quickly.

Arataki Yidou smiled and said: "I'm nervous, it seems that I was right."

Kuki-nin continued: "When people lie, their eyes will subconsciously wander, Paimon."

"But we don't mean any harm, don't worry."

After hearing what Kuki Shinobu said, Paimon breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Do you know Yanfei?"

"I know her. She is already my savior." Arataki Yidou nodded quickly and explained.

After listening to Arataki Yidou's words, Paimon wondered: "What kind of religious benefactor? Hey, wait a minute, why did you two appear in the Rock Abyss!"

"Sorry, Paimon has eaten too much in the past few days, and his brain reaction is a bit slow and stupid. I will reduce her food expenses next time." Ying said to the two of them at this time.

Paimon shouted angrily to Ying: "Hey!"

"The order to lock down the country has been lifted recently. Do you know about this?" Arataki Yidou asked.

After hearing Arataki Yidou's words, Paimon asked doubtfully: "Didn't it be lifted long ago?"

"Ah. Is that so?" Arataki Yidou asked doubtfully.

Kuki Shinobi said: "Of course that's the case. Otherwise, why would Inazuma hold the Rongsai Festival earlier? But boss, you have just come out of prison not long ago. It's normal for you to understand it late based on your personality."

Paimon: "."

Arataki Yidou waved his hands to several people and continued: "Of course, this matter is not important. What is important is that Aren came to Liyue to get her diploma. I was afraid that it would be unsafe for her to travel far alone, so I followed her. ”

After hearing what Arataki Yidou said, Paimeng asked doubtfully: "Graduation certificate? Aren, did you go to school in Liyue?"

"I studied law at a literary school in Liyue. Unfortunately, when I went home to visit relatives on the eve of graduation, the country was locked down and I got my diploma for several years." Jiu Qiqin explained: "We went to Liyue Port to do business, and the boss queued up. At that time, I had a conflict with Qianyan Army soldiers and was almost arrested. Fortunately, Miss Yanfei passed by and helped. "

"If it hadn't been for the great help from my benefactor, I would have ended up in Liyue Prison. However, Liyue's Qianyan Army is really strong. It is much more powerful than the Tianling Army led by Daizuma's Nine Tengu, so I wanted to help. She should do something." Arataki Yidou replied: "But she said there is nothing she needs our help with, but that's not okay. How can you not run into trouble when you go out? Just follow her, and when needed, I will jump out immediately. "

Ying said helplessly: "Is your repayment of kindness a forced purchase?"

"No, no, I really just want to protect her! Because she was in a hurry and felt like she was going to do something important." Arataki Yidou shook his head and said, "If you want to do something great and important in this world, it is inevitable. You know what kind of trouble you’re going to get into, but I mean well.”

Kuki Shinobi suddenly shouted: "Traveler?"

Hearing Kuki-nin's call, Ying turned his head in confusion, and then saw Kuki-nin's eyes signaling, Ying pointed Arataki Ito in the wrong direction and said: "Just now Yanfei, she went that way went."

"Oh, thank you, I'll go find her right now! Hey Aren, let's go." After saying that, Arataki turned around and left. Kuki Nin did not forget to say hello, and he heard him while running. He was shouting: "Benefactor, please wait for me to help you!"

Before leaving, Kuki nodded to Ying and said, "Thank you, see you next time."

fluorescent:"."

"Ying, you pointed them in the wrong direction, so that Arataki Yidou won't cause trouble to Yan Fei." Paimon looked at the two people leaving and said to Ying: "Then let's go up first. Let’s go to the place that was smashed.”

"Okay, okay, you don't need to remind me, let's go over there. Your performance just now was as stupid as Arataki Yito." Ying complained.

Paimon scratched his head and said, "Hmm."

Ying spread her wings and flew towards the nail. After landing, she found that Yan Fei was here.

"Yan Fei, why are you here? I have already killed the person who was following you." After Ying landed, Paimeng said to Yan Fei.

Yan Fei smiled and nodded: "That's great, thank you. That fancy-dressed brother is so enthusiastic. If he usually makes friends, I should be able to make friends. Unfortunately, I have something serious to do today."

After listening to Yanfei's words, Paimon wondered: "Hmm...what business needs to be done in such a strange place? Do you also want to change your career to become an adventurer?"

"I am a legal consultant, and occasionally I encounter situations where I have to travel far away in person. This time I came to the Rock Abyss because of a will." Yan Fei explained.

Paimon was surprised: "Will.?"

Yan Fei nodded and said: "Yes. I found a will in an ancient book, which should have been left by a certain master in the past. He has a missing magic weapon and wants to find it back."

"Isn't this kind of thing the business of the Rebirth Hall? Does it also require a legal consultant to do it?" Paimeng scratched his head.

Yanfei shook his head and explained: "Of course not, the Rebirth Hall is only responsible for funeral services, and executing wills on behalf of others is also part of the work of legal consultants. Of course, situations like this are indeed rare. The Layered Rock Abyss doesn't just come whenever you want."

"So you know?" A voice suddenly came.

Paimeng exclaimed: "Who is it!"

Yanfei greeted the source of the voice: "Oh, you are there? Sure enough, I guessed it right."

Ying turned her head and looked, and then she widened her eyes. It was this woman in front of her who robbed her of two million Mora here! Although two million Mora is nothing to her now, it was still very valuable to her at that time.

"Ying, are you okay?" Looking at Ying who was a little abnormal, Paimeng asked in a low voice.

Ying said angrily, "Paimon, it's her. Last time she put down the nail, all my Mora was gone!"

The blue-haired woman jumped down from the high platform and said to Yan Fei calmly, "The Great Law Consultant came to the Layered Rock Abyss to do business. Why does he need to ask for my opinion?"

Yan Fei said, "Where Ye Lan is, my words don't count, right?"

"She, who is she!" Paimon asked in confusion.

"Didn't you hear Yan Fei just say the other person's name? Ye Lan." Ying complained helplessly.

Paimon scratched his head and said, "I mean, I know her name is Ye Lan, but what does she do?"

Yan Fei explained to the two, "This is Ye Lan, from Liyue. Um, can I say that you work in the General Affairs Department? Anyway, you are a friend of mine."

Ye Lan nodded and said, "Sure. It just so happens that I have something to do in this area recently, so I have a small fate with you all."

Speaking of this, Ye Lan turned to Ying and Paimon and said, "Traveler and Paimon may not know me, but I have heard of you."

Ying said with a tiger face, "Excuse me, I have too many friends in Liyue."

"You are here to do business, and my job is to monitor the Layered Abyss. According to the regulations, I should accompany you." Ye Lan continued, "But this time I I have other important tasks to attend to, so I'm afraid I can't accompany you all the way. Please do as you please, and don't make any big moves. "

After hearing what Ye Lan said, Yan Fei said with a regretful look: "Oh no, I still want to ask you for help"

"For the sake of our past friendship, can you spare a little time to help me deal with this legacy?"

After hearing what Yan Fei said, Ye Lan crossed her arms and said to her calmly: "You have to be sincere when you ask me for help."

Yan Fei smiled and nodded: "Okay, you have to pay for hiring a tour guide. It just so happens that Grandma Ping gave me some good tea. If you don't mind, let me buy you a cup of tea."

"Hehe, why don't you tell me the details of your visit here first, and then I will..."

"Hey! You guys!"

Before Ye Lan finished speaking, she was interrupted by a voice.

Hearing this familiar voice, Paimon was a little surprised and said, "Why is Yidou back?"

Yidou walked up to the few people with Jiuqi Shinobu, and said to Ying and Paimon with an unhappy face: "Okay, you guys, you deliberately sent me away, right! I said, Traveler, why don't you stand by me, your brother?"

Hearing what Ara Taki Ito said, Ying's expression was a little unnatural. Although she knew that this was a problem of the world, she still felt strange when Ara Taki Ito called her brother.

Ying spread her hands to Ara Taki Ito and said, "Because this is also our friend."

After hearing what Ying said, Ara Taki Ito was about to walk towards here, and Ye Lan said to Ara Taki Ito indifferently at this time: "Stop."

Ara Taki Ito stopped and asked Ye Lan in confusion: "Huh? Who are you?"

"Sorry, this area is a layer of rock, outsiders please stop." Ye Lan said.

After hearing what Ye Lan said, Huang Long Yidou said with disdain: "What a joke, you don't have a notice fence here, and you don't let people walk?"

"There won't be any notices that attract attention in truly dangerous places." Ye Lan replied.

"So this is such an important place." Paimeng spread his hands and said.

"Of course, that golden anchor point explains everything." Yan Fei whispered with magic to isolate her voice and said to Ying and Paimeng: "Ye Lan didn't know there was an anchor point here, don't tell anyone, because after the death of Emperor and Immortal, the only people who know they still exist are Ningguang and Keqing, and Ye Lan doesn't know all this."

"In her eyes, I am just an ordinary legal consultant, don't expose the identity of the immortal and me. The immortals in Liyue are now hidden in Liyue Port, and generally won't expose their identities, so you can talk to her as ordinary Liyue people."

"So that's the case, no wonder she looks so arrogant." Paimeng suddenly said.

Yan Fei continued, "I know you may have had some minor conflicts with Ye Lan before, but she is a good person and what happened before was probably unintentional. For Liyue, I would like to ask for your help in some matters."

"Okay, we understand." Ying replied, "We will be fine."

Yan Fei smiled and replied, "Okay, thank you."

Yan Fei had a reason to talk to Ying like that. She knew Ying was very strong and her style of doing things was somewhat erratic. To put it nicely, she was free and easy, but to put it bluntly, she was crazy. She was afraid that Ying would get beaten up if she was unhappy.

While Yan Fei was secretly talking to Ying and Paimeng, Aragaki Ito and Ye Lan also had a conflict. Both of them were emitting elemental power and confronting each other.

"Why are they fighting?" Paimeng scratched his head.

Yan Fei hurriedly came out to persuade them: "Hey, wait a moment, this matter was caused by me, why don't you give me some face. Hey?"

Before Yan Fei finished speaking, the ground began to shake.

"No, it seems like this!"

Aratake Ichito said dissatisfiedly: "Don't change the subject! I am... um?"

Then, the ground collapsed, and everyone fell straight down, and Ying also spread his wings in an instant, and then landed steadily. As for Paimon, he fell to the ground like everyone else, which made Ying feel a little confused.

After "pain, pain, pain", Paimon covered his head and said: "What happened! Hey, Ying, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but you, why did you fall to the ground?" Ying asked in confusion.

Paimon stirred his fingers awkwardly and replied: "This, this"

It's broken, and he forgot that Ying could fly, so his previous actions were seen by the other party. Thinking of this, Paimon's expression was a little tense.
