Holy Lord from Teyvat

Chapter 219 Continue to explore

After a morning, the Fatui had organized their base. Zheng Tian put away his equipment and had a simple research room in the Layered Rock Abyss.

Lunch break, in the study room.

Mona was examining a piece of ore that she had just set her eyes on, Zheng Tian was examining the handsome scroll in his hand, looking as if he was thinking about something, and Shen He was meditating and resting.

"Shen He." Zheng Tian suddenly called out.

Shen He opened his eyes: "What's wrong?"

Zheng Tian: "I need your help."

Shen He stood up and walked over: "What do you need me to do?"

Zheng Tian: "Look, if you compare my scroll to a locked treasure chest, the magic sealed inside is the treasure, and the activation method is the key to the treasure chest."

"But my magic scroll is a magic system that escapes from another world, and this key is also a means of escaping from another world. In other words, if I want Ningguang and the others to be able to use the treasures in it, I need to set up a lock that can be unlocked with the key of elemental power."

Shen He nodded: "I understand, you want to learn Liyue's talisman knowledge."

Zheng Tian: "Yes, the two worlds are very different, but they also have something in common, elements, humans, and an environment suitable for human habitation..."

"That's why I can use the materials here to perform my Qi magic, but sometimes I need to make some adjustments. I think I can also incorporate the talisman methods of the elemental force system into it. I don't ask for an impact on the effect, as long as I can equip the treasure chest with a lock."

Shen He: "Then from now on, I will teach you."

Zheng Tian: "Okay."

At this time, Mona raised her hand and asked, "Can you teach us how to use Chi instead? This will be safer. In the future, only those who have learned how to use Chi can use the scroll."

Zheng Tian shook his head: "I have tried, but only the demon god level can use a few simple methods. Even Liu Yun and the others can only sense it slightly. The creatures here are really poor at sensing and using Qi."

Mona thought for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Well, is it possible that you can directly create a key that can be seen and touched?"

Zheng Tian: "Can you see or touch it?"

Mona: "For example, something that will activate the scroll when it is close to it. Keep it separate from the scroll at ordinary times, and just stick it on when you need it. This way you don't have to go through so much trouble."

Zheng Tian: “…”

Oops, it’s the inertia of thinking that has influenced me. I didn’t expect that.

There was an awkward atmosphere in the air, but Shen He didn't understand.

"Didn't you expect it?" Shen He asked simply.

Zheng Tian was even more embarrassed: "Ahem, even so, it is necessary to learn these. After all, I need to know the principles of making talismans here. Only by understanding these can I make better use of these materials. Shen He, let's get started."

Shen He didn't think about it and nodded in response: "Well, let me see your ability to apply elemental power first."

Zheng Tian: "Okay, look, I can mobilize the elemental power..."

The topic has been brought up and a problem has been successfully solved. It is a cause for celebration.

……

The next morning.

When Zheng Tian was about to give the order to set off, Anton came up to him and placed a stack of information in front of him.

"This is the intelligence we summarized yesterday. In order to prevent our fatigue from affecting its accuracy, we checked it again after waking up this morning."

Zheng Tian took the information, looked at each other with Mona and Shen He, and finally decided to stop for a while to discuss the next course of action.

They returned to the laboratory and analyzed it carefully.

Zheng Tian: "It says here that since the miners dug out the mysterious crystal, the rock abyss has suddenly changed. Strange black mud and lumen stones have proliferated on a large scale, and the geological structure has also continued to change."

Mona: "That is to say, the geographical information they summarized based on previous intelligence may not be reliable."

Zheng Tian: "It's okay, just let the ninja soldiers explore the way."

Shen He handed over two pieces of paper: "Well, these two pieces of paper mention two bells in two places and an upside-down ancient city. Is this important information?"

Zheng Tian took the paper and said, "This is very important information. Let me see. There is a lot of material that looks like black mud crystals under the upside-down ruins of the ancient city. There is also black fog gathering, making it impossible to get close."

"The simultaneous ringing of the two bells seems to have a magical power that can dispel the black fog, but it will also cause turmoil in the surrounding environment."

Mona pondered, "The black mud can strengthen monsters, which inevitably reminds me of the power of the abyss."

Zheng Tian: “It’s clear there is a connection.”

Shen He: "The place where the mysterious crystal was dug out seems to be in the lower mining area. But to get to the upside-down ancient city, it seems that you have to take the path of the underground water marsh on the other side. And due to geological changes, the path of the underground water marsh may not still exist."

After some thought, Zheng Tian finally decided to act separately from Anton and the others.

On the one hand, the mysterious crystal was obviously the same as the ones found on the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain. It was the Frost Sky Nail, something he had come into contact with before.

Although Zheng Tian couldn't remember many of the details, he could analyze the need for the lumen stone catalyst based on the power of the mysterious crystal fragments and the power of the black mud. But they didn't have it, so they just waited for Kong to come and deal with it later.

On the other hand, the changes in the Layered Abyss seem to be related to the Abyss Cult, and the Abyss Cult should also be paying attention to the Upside-Down Ancient City. These Fatui cannot deal with the people stationed by the Abyss Cult, and going there will only reduce the manpower.

Moreover, if the path to the underground swamp is really blocked, he can use the power of the Earth Kui to open another path, or let the ninja go to explore, and when the ninja finds it, he can use teleportation magic to go there.

Zheng Tian: "Divide into two groups, one for us and one for the Fatui. These special places may bring us great rewards."

Mona: "Where are we going?"

Zheng Tian: "Over there in the underground water swamp, let's go find the upside-down ancient city."

……

Anton and his team took some black shadow ninjas and headed to the lower mining area according to Zheng Tian's instructions. They would continue to search for materials on the way.

Although the lower mining area is blocked, this is not a problem with the presence of the Shadow Ninja.

Zheng Tian led Shen He and Mona to the underground swamp.

In fact, the 9th Company's camp was on the edge of the underground water swamp, but on the east side. The path leading directly to the upside-down ancient city in the intelligence was on the southern wall of the western half of the underground water swamp.

Zheng Tian led his men as they searched and advanced, and they collected a lot of things along the way, such as the water here, the soil under the water, fish and so on, all of which can be used in Qi magic.

Arriving at the underground water Jersey half, the three of them and a group of ninjas searched carefully and found the path.
