"Hey, it's not easy to find you? I have the almighty Shen Ming." Hu Tao put his arms around Shen Ming's arm and said with a smile.
"We came to you because the Adventurers Association has a new commission, and Sister Lan wants you to follow." Hu Tao said directly.
"Consignment? How much is the commission fee?" Ying's eyes lit up.
"This... I don't know, I haven't watched it yet, but it shouldn't be too many." Hu Tao said based on his own experience.
"Not much." Paimon was slightly disappointed.
"Well... no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. Even if the reward is not much, you still have to think about it." Ying rubbed her chin, thinking.
"What is it specifically? Is it convenient? If it is convenient, we will follow the trend." Paimon muttered.
Chapter 230 Six Entering the Ruins
"It's not particularly...convenient." Hu Tao said tangled, but soon, she thought of a good reason.
"Although it is not particularly convenient, there is oil and water to fish for this mission."
Walnut slapped his palm.
"Oil and water?" Paimon was puzzled.
"The mission this time is generally to investigate the actions of a group of treasure robbers." Hu Tao said, fanning the fire on the left side of the screen from time to time, and blowing the wind on the right side.
"The Treasure Thief Group, and it's the largest treasure robbery gang in Liyue and Mengde. They must have a lot of wealth."
"Whether it's Liyue's Southern Eldest Sister or Mengde's Northern Strange Bird, they are both famous treasure-thieving groups in the two places, and they are also the two largest treasure-robbing groups."
"Wait, Northern strange bird?" Ying froze for a moment.
"You know him?" Hu Tao was curious.
"Well, Amber and I have investigated this task together." Ying nodded, "It was the Amber who was the first to find you when you came to Mond City before and led you to the main gate of Mond."
"I remember that person." Hu Tao remembered, "It turns out that you have come into contact with the northern strange bird."
"That's easy."
"When I went to the Adventurer's Association this morning, I found that Gan Yu was also there. She received a message from the General Affairs Department that Liyue's southern elder sister and Mond's northern strange bird had joined forces to attack a ruin."
"Remains?" Paimon was also stunned for a moment, scratching his head strangely, "Are there any relics that we haven't searched?"
"Of course." Hu Tao gave a blank look, "There are tens of thousands of ruins in Liyue, many of which are buried deep in the mountains, or underground. The ones you explored are only superficial, or are famous Yes, where is this going?"
"Needless to say!" Ying said decisively, "I'll take this commission!"
"For the sake of the relics, don't you?" Walnut said.
"Hey, treasure, treasure..." Paimon was already drooling.
"Tell us about this treasure, no, ahem, about the ruins. Is there anything I need to pay attention to?" Ying coughed and sat on the beach.
Shen Ming and Hu Tao also learned a lot, and they sat on the ground and discussed together.
"According to the information from the General Affairs Department and the Adventurer's Association, there is likely to be an abyss in this ruin," Hu Tao said.
"What's the matter, there are not many mages and Qiuqiu people in any ruins." Ying said indifferently.
"It's not the same. This time, the Abyss mobilized the ruins on a large scale, and they are really concentrating their forces to protect the ruins." Shen Ming added.
"The abyss is dispatched on a large scale?" Ying was surprised.
"That's what the General Affairs Department and the Adventurer's Association said." Hu Tao said, "That's why the two northern and southern treasure robbers planned to join forces, and even invited some big robbers from Fontaine to suppress the scene. "
"But will it really work?" Hu Tao seriously doubted, "That's the abyss."
"After you say that, I'm more interested." Ying's face showed a look of eagerness.
"Abyss, I haven't seen their large-scale activities for a long time, I didn't expect to get news at this time."
"When are we going to see?" Walnut asked.
"Us? Uh... are you going too?" Ying.
Hu Tao and Shen Ming nodded together.
"You guys are going, that, that treasure... the treasure can only be shared with you a little, just a little!" Paimon floated over.
"We don't need those treasures, they are all given to you, we just go to find out what the hell is going on in the abyss," Hu Tao said.
In fact, the idea of following Ying to explore the ruins was proposed by Shen Ming, who was very interested in the secrets about the abyss.
----
After a brief exchange of information, Ying, Shen Ming and the others quickly returned to Liyue Port through their respective shortcuts.
Sister Lan saw Paimon flying around in the air from a long distance.
"Traveler, Paimon, this way."
"Sister Lan, we are here to take up the commission." Paimon greeted skillfully.
"I'll trouble you this time too." Sister Lan handed the power of attorney to Ying.
"Understood, we are good at finding the ruins." Paimon said confidently.
......
The location of the relic is not any of the many well-known relics, just like what Walnut said, this is a hidden relic that has not yet been developed.
However, no matter how concealed it is, it can't compare to the ability of the treasure robbers. This is their housekeeping ability.
When everyone arrived outside the ruins, they found that there were not many treasure robbers outside, but there were quite a few traces of the overnight stay.
"Have these treasure thieves already entered the ruins?" Pai Mengfei went over to look, "Let's go too, don't let the treasure thieves steal all the treasure."
"What are you afraid of? They rob the treasure, and we rob them." Shen Ming said jokingly.
But after he finished speaking, he found that both Pimeng and Ying nodded in agreement.
The ruins themselves were buried in the rocks and soil, leaving only a hole one person high, with many chiseled traces, it looks like the treasure robbers opened a hole here.
Several people bowed their waists and entered through the hole carefully.
What came into view was an empty space, there were no treasure robbers on duty, and there were no Qiuqiu people wandering around. There were only a few footprints telling that someone had been there before.
"This is the trace of the Treasure Bandit." Paimon walked in and took a look.
"What else could it be other than the treasure troupe." Shen Ming spread his hands, "But..."
"I always feel that the atmosphere here is not quite right, so be careful." Walnut wrinkled her nose and clenched the weapon in her hand.
Hearing this, both Ying and Paimon nodded, Ying held the sword, walked forward seemingly loosely but tensely, and touched the door.
"There should be traps around this door, let's look for it." Paimon said with experience.
Both Shen Ming and Hu Tao were not very good at these adventure experiences, but Ying and Paimon were obviously able to handle them with ease, directly taking care of the whole process from deciphering to opening the door.
Most of the relics in each region have some commonalities. As long as these characteristics are found and summarized, it is easy to find an effective decryption method.
Ying and Pai Meng groped for a long time, and when Shen Ming was secretly thinking about divination to give some hints, the door opened.
boom boom-
The sound of the door rubbing against the ground was a bit heavy, and behind the door were the remaining traces of the Treasure Bandit, and some bloodstains. I don't know whether it was the blood of a monster or a member of the Treasure Bandit.
It seems that the members of the Treasure Thieves have been in for a long time, and most of the monsters and abyss mages were either lured away or killed.
However, judging from the traces of entering the ruins, the scale of the infiltration search by the treasure robbers is not large, so it can be inferred that they should be the main force to lure the abyss monsters away, and then a small group of elites entered the ruins to search.
However, judging from the clues at the scene, these elite teams seem to be in trouble.
Chapter 230 Where did the treasure robbers go?
Behind the stone gate are all traces, but only the figure is gone.
The treasure robbers, Qiuqiu people, abyss mages, Qiuqiu shamans, nothing, even the corpses that died after the battle were all cleaned up.
There were some tools for breaking the door scattered beside the dilapidated fire. These things definitely could not belong to the Qiuqiu people. They must have been brought by the treasure robbers. Now they discarded these things.
"It's really weird here, um...let's be more careful." Paimon shrank behind Ying and said in a low voice.
However, there was no one around, and in the extremely quiet room, Paimon's voice was exceptionally loud and echoed endlessly, which startled Paimon, who was just chattering in a low voice.
"Indeed, where have all these Qiuqiu people gone? What about the Treasure Bandit?" Ying frowned.
Moreover, except for the first stone gate, the organs of the remaining gates seem to have lost their proper functions, and it is unknown whether they are broken or have been destroyed by the treasure robbers.
But this is actually cheaper for Ying, Shen Ming and the others, at least they don't need to use their brains to think about how to unlock the mechanism.
The room is square and square, surrounded by high walls, like a prison, keeping everyone inside, with vines or dead branches spreading on the walls.
"Do you think there will be earth veins coming out here?" Hu Tao asked curiously.
"It's possible." Paimon pointed his finger. "This is a ruin, and it's still underground. It should be expected that there will be some exposed earth veins."
"I just don't know when we will find it. The branches and leaves of the veins are good things, and they can be used for many things."
Everyone searched the room carefully, but searched every corner, but found no useful clues. The only thing they could know was that the team of the Treasure Thieves had entered the ruins for a long time.
Judging from the traces at the scene, they threw away all the heavy tools and went into battle lightly, but in this way, it is difficult for them to go to the innermost part of the ruins without heavy equipment.
"Generally speaking, it's unlikely." Paimon said, and soon she scratched her head, "But that's usually the case. If there are people who are particularly proficient in the ruins, it's not impossible once. Sex clearance."
"For example, the big thief's house they mentioned?" Hu Tao asked curiously.
"That's it. Otherwise, why did Sister Nanchang and Northern Monster Bird have to invite the big thief Bao's family from Fontaine? Wouldn't it be good to eat alone?" Paimon spread his hands.
"No matter what, let's go first." Ying said.
Everyone followed the traces of the treasure robbers and opened the corresponding mechanism, and walked out of the room surrounded by high walls.
Crossing the corner and crossing the cliff, the obstacles in front of him were immediately cleared away, but this time they were standing on a high place.
"A room like this again?" Ying was taken aback.
The room is almost the same as before, but this time there are many more wandering Chuchus and shamans.
"Finally there are monsters here!" Paimon cheered up, "But the strange thing is, why didn't the Treasure Bandit kill these monsters? Did we go wrong? Or were these monsters led away by the main force of the Treasure Bandit?" Those, and back again?"
"I think it's simply that these Qiuqiu people have fallen behind." Shen Ming rubbed his chin, "After all, most of the main force to lure away the monsters are highly intelligent monsters from the Abyssal Cult, and these low-end ones may not be able to keep up."
"Is...is that so?" Paimon scratched his head.
"Anyway, just look for the traces of the treasure robbers." Ying said decisively.
Everyone deliberately bypassed these monsters with absurdly low perception ranges, and quietly searched for possible traces of the treasure robbers in the corner.
They tried not to disturb these Qiuqiu people, they were afraid that a fight would destroy the original clues, and they would fight these Qiuqiu people when there were really no more clues in the corner of the room.
They do occupy a lot of space, maybe there will be some traces in it.
Several people jumped down, Shen Ming and Hu Tao each searched a corner of the room, while Paimon and Ying started to climb the opposite wall.
I have to say that people who have been adventuring all year round are well-prepared. As a girl, Ying dared to wear skirts and climb walls so unscrupulously when she was taking risks. Naturally, she had taken precautions. The safety pants are tightly covered.
Looking for some bumps in the corners, five fingers grabbed them directly. The amazing grip of the fingers combined with the basic movement principles of rock climbing, directly made Ying climb a third of her height.
The three of them plus one Paimon searched for a long time, and finally Ying and the flying Paimon made a new discovery.
"Come on, climb the wall, something is found on the wall!" Paimon flew down and whispered.
This time Paimon learned his lesson. Sometimes in the too quiet room, what she thought was a low voice was not a real low voice, so she flew to Shen Ming's ear and began to bite her ear.
Shen Ming looked up, and found that Yingzheng was kneeling on the wall, saw Shen Ming looking up, and waved quickly.
Shen Ming recruited Hu Tao, and the two jumped onto the wall in three steps and two steps at the same time.
"Small moves, what if you disturb the people of Qiuqiu?" Paimon complained.
"Didn't you all find the clue?" Hu Tao folded her arms around her chest.
"That may not be all the clues, what if the Qiuqiu people still have some important information?" Paimon said.
Suddenly she looked carefully at the marks on the wall.
Footprints, ropes, hooks...
I couldn't help but look at the floor on the side of the Qiuqiu people, and there was no tendency to find any traces.
"Well, this is indeed all the traces." Paimon muttered, "These treasure robbers don't seem to want to cause trouble, so they walked over the wall."
"Then let's forget about these Qiuqiu people. Why don't we follow the path of the Treasure Thieves? They can all make it through. There's no reason we can't," Ying said.
