The journey to Teyvat from the Abyss Mage

"What? You want to take him with you? No way!" Bennett refused without even thinking: "He doesn't even have the most basic combat experience. He can't even protect himself in the Wolf Territory. It's too dangerous!"

"Yes, we can't spare the time to take care of him in Wolf Territory." Oz also said, "The current Wolf Territory is very dangerous for experienced adventurers without the Eye of God. Even if we don't mention the mission, we are still responsible for his life safety!"

Fischl nodded in agreement.

Jellos hesitated for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and persuaded Luo Mu: "Xiao Luo, forget it. It's useless for an ordinary person like me to go there, so I won't hold you back. I'd better pray for you in a safe place."

Luo Mu waved his hands, looked at Jellos helplessly, and asked with a smile: "Well, brother, don't lie to me, tell me the truth, if I don't take you to the Wolf Territory, will you really not go?" After saying that, Luo Mu was still worried, and added: "Don't lie to me!"

"I..." Jellos hesitated. With his personality, he would never miss such an "adventure". Although he would only wander around the periphery, he would definitely go to the Wolf Territory.

"So," Luo Mu spread his hands, "since you are going anyway, you might as well go with us. Firstly, your safety will be guaranteed, and secondly, you can carry me when I get tired." As he said that, he winked at Jellos playfully.

Oz felt very sick when he saw this scene.

"How about this," Luo Mu and Bennett discussed, "After entering the Wolf Territory, we can first send Brother to the Great Trial Field so that he won't be hurt by the Black Wolf. Or, we can let Brother go to the Injured Soldiers Camp to help Miss Barbara take care of the wounded. Is that ok?"

Bennett pondered and said, "This... seems feasible. Besides, the wounded camp is right at the Great Trial Ground. The two options you mentioned are actually one. But in this case, our journey will be a little more troublesome."

"Let me go!" Before Luo Mu could even speak, Jellos took the initiative to stand up and said, "Although I'm not an adventurer, I've been to many places and I know some outdoor adventure skills. I won't hold you back. Besides, Xiao Luo is not in good health right now. I'm worried about him going alone."

Damn it, brother, please don't make fun of me! I just acted weak in front of you, and now I have to act weak again when I go to Benlang Territory?!

The scariest thing is that Bennett and Fischer are still nodding and analyzing seriously:

"Well, his physical condition does not look good." Bennett murmured.

Fischl was more direct: "Is this what they call a sick beauty?"

Luo Mu: ...Damn!

Just like that, Luo Mu listened in silence as Bennett and others carefully analyzed his physical condition, and finally came to the conclusion: someone really needed to take care of him.

"Okay," Bennett finally announced the result: "Let Jellos go with us, but," Bennett warned Jellos with a serious expression: "Don't act rashly, try to stay with Luo Mu, understand?"

"I understand!" Jellos nodded repeatedly in surprise, and Luo Mu felt that his hands on his shoulders were trembling.

In fact, Luo Mu wanted to bring Jelloth with him, not only to ensure Jelloth's safety, but also for another purpose: Jelloth, as a pure adventure rookie, was unscathed in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, and most importantly, he met him! What kind of luck is this! Bringing such a lucky treasure to the team should be able to dilute Bennett's weird bad luck...

The next morning, Luo Mu and his companions packed their luggage and set off.

Bennett helped Luo Mu get a tactical vest and a pair of boxer shorts in the camp. Luo Mu wore them inside his robe, so he could barely move freely. But as for shoes and other clothes... he couldn't find any that fit his body shape, so Luo Mu had no choice but to keep wearing the robe and make do with it.

He was protected in the center of the team, with Bennett leading the way with a sword in hand, Fischl standing at the end of the team with a bow and arrow, monitoring the overall situation, Oz soaring in the air to provide them with an aerial view, and Jellos carrying food, water and medicine as a logistics personnel.

As soon as the team entered the Wolf Territory, Luo Mu smelled a strange scent: the moist and warm air in the Wolf Territory seemed to be filled with a faint smell of decay.

"Bennett, do you feel it?" Luo Mu asked Bennett softly.

"What?" Bennett responded. He didn't look back, but still walked slowly forward with the sword in hand, his smart eyes carefully looking around.

It seems that the holder of the Eye of God cannot feel that abnormality. Is this because I am a special creature of the abyss? While thinking, Luo Mu told everyone about his feelings.

"The smell of decay?" Fischl frowned. She waved her hand, and with a flash of purple lightning, the Night Crow Oz appeared beside her.

"What are your orders, Miss?"

"Take off and see if there is anything unusual with the nearby vegetation, such as inexplicable dying, color change, large-scale leaf fall, etc." Fischer said.

With a sound of reply, Oz flapped his wings, and in an instant he disappeared again.

Jellos, who was standing by, saw the reactions of Luo Mu and the others and realized the danger of the situation. He subconsciously wanted to protect Luo Mu in his arms, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he paused and then laughed at himself:

I am the weakest person in the team. He thought sadly and was about to take his hand back. At this moment, he felt a soft and boneless hand grasping his hand.

"It's okay, brother. I'm not afraid as long as you're here." Luo Mu said to Jellos with a smile, as if Jellos was really protecting him.

Jellos's love is the first pure love that Luomu has ever received in this world. At least for now, Luomu will never allow anything to hurt his brother. And he will also try his best to help Jellos realize his dream.

"Well, I'm not afraid either." Jellos felt his heart warmed, and he gently shook Luo Mu's hand in response.

Seeing that Jellos's mood had improved, Luo Mu smiled and pulled his hand back, holding it on the silver-inlaid cane, his expression gradually becoming solemn:

Not only does it smell rotten here, but it's also too quiet!

This kind of silence is not silent in the literal sense, but the silence and loneliness that penetrates into people's hearts. Luo Mu and his companions are like walking in a vacuum universe, where no sound is allowed to spread. Even the sound of footsteps is so faint that it is almost inaudible.

The blind of sound... Luo Mu suddenly thought of this phrase. Unlike deafness, this strange silence does not bring loneliness and pain to people, but pure unknown and fear.

If Barbatos were here, he would be able to describe this feeling most clearly:

The realm of Diocletian, the power of silence!

This feeling is really terrible... Luo Mu frowned and stroked the relief handle of the silver-inlaid cane, where the fortune teller made an angel with his hands covering his eyes. The angel was standing on a brass round table. By turning the round table slightly, Luo Mu could pull out a thin sword with a cold glow from the cane. Luo Mu didn't know what the sword was made of, but he knew that this sword was strong enough to cut through a finger-wide piece of ice!

The team continued to move forward slowly, and they didn't seem to notice that a pair of eyes shining with purple light were spying on them in the dark.
