There is a workbench in the camp, which was built by Seraphina using rock elements.

Sora was gathering materials from the surroundings while Seraphina set up an alarm and started hammering at the unknown ore in the camp.

Little Paimon flew around the two men.

It was almost time for dinner and Paimon was complaining that he was hungry. When Sora was preparing to cook, Seraphina finally finished and told Sora the results of her afternoon research.

"Preliminary speculation is that this ore is actually formed by bees suddenly coming into contact with high concentrations of rock elements and then petrifying." Seraphina placed several cut stones in front of Sora and Paimon.

Several pieces of ore trembled slightly.

The cut rock yellow ore has distinct internal textures, but a part towards the center is darker than the surrounding area.

As for the polished pieces, Seraphina cut off the light-colored parts, leaving only the dark parts. It really looks like an insect.

Kong, who had mastered the rock element, understood this vibration better than Paimon. He picked up two pieces of ore at random and felt them in his hands, then opened his elemental vision: "Are these ores resonating?"

"That's right." Seraphina narrowed her eyes, looking very teachable. "Rock is an inactive element that is difficult to react with. The petrified bees were deposited under the influence of the rock, forming this ore. But the rock elements can resonate with each other, and the ores that are close to each other are turned into powder under the resonance reaction over hundreds of years, so the distribution of these ores is very scattered."

Paimon was confused and asked, "But how can Seraphina be sure that this insect is a bee?"

Seraphina pulled out a small bottle with a clear potion in it. "Although the name of the weeping rock flower contains the word 'rock', it is not a native crop of Liyue. Because of its high honey content and ease of cultivation, it was introduced to Liyue for cultivation hundreds of years ago."

The potion was poured onto the part of the mineral that looked like an insect, and the dark yellow stone gradually turned blue. "This identification potion was also given to me by a senior from the Life Theory School. This potion will turn blue when it comes into contact with substances such as honey."

"The liarflower is an elemental creature. The nectar it produces can detect elemental reactions. There is no such thing as honey remaining after the element has reacted." Seraphina explained in detail, "Except for the liarflower, all flowers that can produce nectar need bees to produce honey. After the bees are wrapped in rock elements, the honey on their bodies is preserved in this closed environment, forming this ore. Although there is no other evidence to prove it, seeing the weeping rock flower and this ore, my guess should be the most reasonable."

She turned to look at Sora who seemed to be thinking, "Do you have any ideas, Traveler?"

There was a collapse here...

The weeping rock flower is not a native plant...

Bees transformed into high-concentration rock element ore...

Rock Element Ore Resonance...

"This used to be a settlement. They used to raise rock flowers and bees and make honey for a living, until one day, for some unknown reason, a high concentration of rock elements appeared here, causing a resonance reaction that caused the place to collapse and become unsuitable for living, so they moved away." Kong stated his reasoning.

Seraphina snapped her fingers. "Not a bad guess, but we need more evidence."

If you have time to help sort it out, Paimon can understand it. But Paimon is even hungrier.

On the way here, Paimon had become familiar with Seraphina, and now he could order food very naturally: "Let's eat first, Seraphina, I also want to eat rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice!"

"As long as you like it." It was a happy thing for a chef to be recognized for his cooking skills. Seraphina smiled and said, "Why don't I copy a recipe for you?"

Paimon's eyes turned into stars: "Great! Thank you Seraphina!"

Of course, dinner cannot be just about rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice, but there is only one pot. As a dessert after dinner, rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice must give way to the dinner that Kong is currently making.

Seraphina took advantage of this time to write a recipe for glutinous rice balls with fermented rice, starting with how to make fermented rice.

"This is my exclusive secret recipe. An elder and I have tried many times to find the best ratio." The girl proudly put her hands on her waist, with tears in her eyes. "Follow this recipe and you can brew the most suitable sweet rice wine for making rice wine dumplings."

Sora took the menu and glanced at it briefly. It was filled with precautions: "Your elder must be very particular."

"Yes, in the past, our family used different recipes of fermented rice dumplings, fermented rice milk jelly, and fermented rice cakes."

This kind of behavior would be criticized as being picky no matter where it happened, but Seraphina five hundred years ago was willing to indulge her.

Now... the girl's eyes dimmed for a moment. If they could meet now, Seraphina would like to bring all the good things to him, and then hold the man's arms like she did five hundred years ago, and chatter and brag about herself under his encouraging gaze.

Paimon whispered to Sora: "This description reminds me of someone..."

I also saw someone nodding in agreement.

"Anyway..." Before Seraphina could finish her words, a sharp whistle sounded around the camp.

"Be careful, enemy attack!"

Kong pulled out the knife to eat the tiger fish.

Three Abyss Mages jumped out. The voice of Thunder Abyss Mage was dry but sharp: "Damn it! The sneak attack failed!"

The Fire Abyss Mage opened a shield before moving forward and pointing at Seraphina: "Hand over the core!"

God's Mouth Piper spoke quickly: "What core?"

After they arrived here, they only had one meal and picked some flowers and stones, but they had not gone deep. How could they know what the core was?

Sora looked at Seraphina with a puzzled look. Could it be that this guy had stolen something here before?

Seraphina gave Sora a blank look in return.

Seraphina doesn't know.

The Water Abyss Mage jumped up and said, "Since you won't hand it over, we can only rob it!"

Then the three Abyss Mages were beaten up by Kong using the wind element.

As the power spread, the shields of the three Abyss Mages were shattered into pieces.

Seraphina: “…” What idiots are these? I don’t want to know them at all.

"Are the Abyss Mages plotting something here?" Paimon helped Kong pick up the fallen items on the ground. "We have already encountered two waves of Abyss Mages in this afternoon."

The real conspiracy mastermind Seraphina shook her head: "They might be looking for something and mistakenly thought I took it away from here before."

"Let's go deeper after dinner and see what the Abyss Cult is doing!" said Seraphina, the Duke of the Abyss Cult.

Calculating the time, if everything goes well, Xiao will be here almost soon.

Before investigating, she had to first meet her physiological needs. Seraphina didn't need to eat, but she had to pretend that she did.

Kong made Mora meat and wild mushroom chicken skewers, and was waiting for Serafina to make fermented rice dumplings.

Little Paimon touched the Mora meat that was as big as her face, and her cheeks were puffed up from eating it: "By the way, Seraphina, what was that whistle just now?"

"It's an alarm device, mainly targeting the Abyss Cult." Seraphina took out three more whistles. "This material is hard to find, and these are all I have. If we need to find the Abyss Cult, we can take this whistle with us, but this is a one-time use."

Paimon continued to ask: "Disposable? How is it made? Why is the alarm disposable?"
