Tap, tap, tap, the sound of high heels landed in the quiet corridor, and all the fool soldiers around were frightened when they heard the footsteps.

The source of these footsteps was none other than the Fatui's executive officer, the fifth servant, Alechino.

"What are you doing here? You look like you're afraid of me."

The soldiers stood at attention! Arecino shook her head, turned and walked outside, and her direction was none other than the Hearth House.

The snow and wind covered her footprints and her figure. Her frail figure looked so tiny in the snow and wind as she walked towards the only fire in the snow.

On the other side, outside the Temple of the Eagle of Favonius, after a conversation in the tavern, Dain told Ying and Paimon the information he had about the Cult of the Abyss.

One of the points is that the Cult of the Abyss has once again entered the Temple of the Eagle of the Favonius. In Dain's view, this can not only help him understand the motives of the Abyss, but also strengthen Ying's understanding of the Abyss.

So he proposed to explore the Temple of the West Wind Eagle again together. In order to gain Dain's trust and learn about Dain's origins and perhaps information about his brother, Ying agreed.

"This unworshipped temple... does indeed contain traces of the abyss."

"The Eagle of the West Wind... can soar with the wind, but it is always just hovering under the light of the gods."

Ying and Paimon didn't know about Dain, and Dain had no intention of explaining.

The three of them then entered the secret realm, which was not much different from the last time they came. The walls were covered with sword marks, and there was still a faint trace of ice elemental power.

But Insreb stroked the sword marks on the wall, feeling the remaining icy power.

"The person who left this sword mark was a very powerful guy. The remaining ice element is enough to show how powerful it is."

“Looking at the ruins in front of me, I really don’t want to become an opponent of the person who caused this scene.”

Dainsleb looked at the ruins in front of him with some palpitations. Although he also had the ability to turn a temple into ruins in a short period of time, he would never do it so thoroughly.

The core mechanisms in the secret realm have been destroyed, and this temple can no longer serve as a channel for the power of the earth's veins.

"You don't look surprised. Could it be that you know the culprit who caused all this?"

Dainsleb did not see any shock on Ying's face. Instead, she looked as if she was used to it.

Ying and Paimon nodded, and Paimon flew in front of Dainsleb.

"Dain, you don't know this. The one who caused all this was our friend Yang Ming. He is a very powerful guy! No matter whether it is the Wind Dragon or Osel, they can be shot in front of him..."

Just as Paimeng was about to reveal all of Yang Ming's secrets, Ying covered his mouth.

To them, Dai Yin was just a somewhat trusted stranger, and it was not worth telling him about Yang Ming's information.

Dainsleb saw this scene and didn't say much, but said it self-deprecatingly.

"It seems that I am not worthy of your complete trust at the moment. In this case, let us move on."

"I believe that after one or two adventures, we will trust each other a little bit."

Dainsleb walked into the depths of the secret realm. Ying looked at Paimon with some reproach and then followed him.

Paimon scratched his head in embarrassment and quickly flew after him.

A group of Abyss Mages were found deep in the temple. Dainsreb immediately rushed forward to fight with the Abyss Mages, and Ying hurried forward to help.

With Dain's own strength, he could easily clean up this group of Abyss Mages, but he seemed to be letting them go and left two Abyss Mages to Ying to deal with.

Of course Ying dealt with the Abyss Mage easily. Originally, Dain wanted to keep one alive to extract information about the Abyss Cult, but these Abyss Mages seemed very loyal to the Abyss Cult and disappeared before he could get any information.

"It's a pity that we only found some Abyss Mages. As for the Abyss Apostle, he may have left long ago."

Dain looked at the disappearing Abyss Mage, with some resentment in his tone.

"Can you tell me in detail about the Abyss Cult?"

Ying came to Dain and asked him this question. Dain put his chin in his hand and thought deeply.

"The abyss... is chaos, destruction, and an uncontrollable madness. It is the root of the erosion of this world."

"That's why even the East Wind Dragon, a follower of the gods, cannot resist erosion."

"And the monsters of the abyss seek nothing more than to overthrow the world ruled by the gods."

After listening to Dain's words, Paimon said.

"But because we truly understand the abyss, why does the abyss want to overturn the world?"

"Haha, as for why I know about the abyss, I can only say that I have a deep connection with the abyss."

"And why does the abyss want to overthrow the world? To be precise, it is the monsters in the abyss that want to overthrow the world, not the abyss itself."

"I have said before that the Abyss is chaos and destruction. It is a crazy, unconscious chaotic energy body."

"He erodes the world purely out of instinct, using the world as nutrients to strengthen himself. This is the purpose of the abyss."

"Okay, enough small talk, we should head to Benlang Ridge."

"According to my recent tracking of the Abyss Cult, the last time it appeared was in the territory of that old wolf."

"Perhaps we can find the Apostle of the Abyss there, or other important information."

Then the three of them left the Temple of the West Wind Eagle and headed towards the Wolf Territory.

Shen He proposed in the morning to go back to Ao Zang Mountain to see his master. Now there is no one around Ying except Paimeng.

Soon they arrived outside the Wolf King Duel Arena in Wolf Ridge, where there was a bonfire lit by the Abyss Mage. A strange smell came from it, and Dain stood next to the bonfire.

"Lord of Wolf Ridge, the King Wolf of the North Wind. He has sharp teeth and claws, but he is only condescended to this position."

After hearing what Dain said, Ying came to Dain's side.

"Dain, do you know the Wolf King Andrius?"

Dain turned around and said.

"No, I don't know the old wolf, and He doesn't know me. I know this because a former travel companion of mine wanted to hear His story."

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense and go see if the Apostle of the Abyss has been here."

It was at this time that Paimon noticed the strange bonfire next to Dain, and Ying also shifted his gaze to the bonfire, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

"This bonfire... When Yang Ming led us to attack Tevarin, the Abyss Mage seemed to have used this bonfire to control Tevarin."

"And just when they failed, those Abyss Mages changed into purple-black energy and entered the bonfire, and then Tevarin went into a frenzy."

Dai Yin listened to Ying's description and then said.

"The spell floating above the bonfire is the spell of the Abyss. The Abyss does use this spell to control monsters."

"And according to what you said, when the Abyss Mage failed, he turned into purple-black Abyss energy and drilled into the bonfire, acting as fuel, doubling the power of the spell. This is what caused the East Wind Dragon to go berserk."

"To be honest, I am getting more and more curious about the Yang Ming you mentioned. In the past, although the Abyss Mage would sacrifice himself to achieve success in something, he would never transform into Abyss energy as fuel for the bonfire."

"As far as I know, this is something that an Abyss Mage would only do when he is facing despair and has no hope of victory."

"Those crazy people in the Abyss would try to accomplish anything as long as there was a 1% chance of success. I didn't expect that the person you mentioned would see no success or hope at all, and it seems that he also hates the Abyss."

"So it seems like I could be a good partner with him, what do you think?"

Dain was completely excited. This was the first time he met someone with the same interests as him after traveling for so long.

They also hate the Abyss and are so powerful that they can even make an Abyss Mage feel hopeless and without the possibility of survival, leading him to launch a self-sacrificing attack.

Dain believed that if he met him, they would definitely become close friends. After all, how bad could someone who hated the abyss be?

Ying saw that the usually resolute Daiyin had suddenly changed his attitude and stood there in a daze for a moment. Daiyin seemed to realize that something was wrong with his condition. After coughing twice, he separated from Ying to look around for similar bonfires.

Soon they found several strange bonfires on the nearby hillside. When they got closer, the Abyss Mage suddenly appeared with several monsters and attacked them.

Ying easily dealt with the monster, but he had a headache with the Abyss Mage because it had a shield and was flying around.

After a fierce battle, he finally solved the troublesome Abyss Mage. After searching, he found a few more bonfires. After clearing the monsters and Abyss Mage around the bonfires, he returned to the original location and found Dain.

"Have you finished cleaning up? How was it? Did you get anything?"

Ying told Dain truthfully about the locations of several campfires she had discovered and the attacks she had encountered by abyss mages and monsters.

"I just searched around for a while and there are indeed traces of the abyss, but I don't know what these guys want to do."

"I have also investigated. These traces were only left by the Abyss Mage. There is no higher-level Abyss power left."

"It seems that even the Apostles of the Abyss are unwilling to provoke the King Wolf of the North. Let's leave. The only thing worth praising about that old wolf is his territorial awareness."

When Paimon heard that he was leaving, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"Uh, has the clue been lost again? Is there no choice but to leave?"

Dain then thought of a place and said.

"No, there is another place we can go. Let's go. I'll be waiting for you at the Wind Dragon Ruins."

Soon, Ying and Paimon came to the bridge of the Wind Dragon ruins and found Dain, who was staring at the collapsed tower in front of him.

"I have heard about your deeds regarding the dragon disaster. Before you came here, this place was called the Wind Dragon Ruins."

"But now the focus of this place name should be the ruins, not the wind dragon."

Dain turned around and looked at Ying and Paimon and said.

"In fact, in my memory, this place has nothing to do with the wind dragon most of the time."

"When I first saw Old Mondstadt, the Dragon of the East Wind had not yet fallen, and would not have built a lair for it."

It was at this point that Paimon noticed the blind spot.

"Ah, but I remember that Tevarin's accident was hundreds of years ago."

But Insreb didn't take it too seriously.

"No need to go into details. By the way, you should still remember the light-guiding mechanism that seals this ruin, right?"

"If the Abyss Cult is interested in this place, they will definitely not miss these light-guiding mechanisms."

Just when Dain was about to go to these light-guiding mechanisms to investigate, Ying silently raised his hand.

"Regarding these light-guiding mechanisms, I want to say that we did not use them when we first entered."

Dain was stunned. It would be difficult for him to break the seal even if he wanted to. But then he thought of the person who had always appeared in Ying's mouth.
