Chapter 109: First Arrival at the Abyss

Chapter 109: First Arrival at the Abyss

The exploration team members who had just arrived at the mine were not used to the darkness at first, but they gradually got used to it with the help of the light from the lumen crystal. It was clearly stated that open flames could not be used in the mine, which was a fact that many miners had learned through bloody lessons.

Therefore, after various tests, the Layered Rock Abyss uses Lumen crystals to make mining lamps. Lumen crystals can also effectively resist the black mud under the layered rock. However, the effect of Lumen crystals is still limited, so holding it can only resist a small amount of black mud, but it also gives the exploration team a little sense of security.

However, when Tianhe arrived at the temporary main mine tunnel, he had a strange sense of déjà vu. Before entering the underground, Tianhe always felt that someone he knew had come here not long ago, but Tianhe couldn't remember who it was for a while.

On the other side, after entering the temporary main mine tunnel of the Stratum Abyss one step ahead, Dadalia suddenly remembered that she seemed to have no map of the underground mining area of ​​the Stratum Abyss. Her spy in the exploration team had told her in the intelligence that the maps drawn by the exploration team in the underground mining area were basically useless now.

The appearance of black mud caused a great change in the underground mining area. Some roads that were passable before were now blocked by black mud. Dadalia had no choice but to take it one step at a time. She couldn't just wait in the temporary main mine tunnel for the spy in the exploration team to give her information. It would take a long time.

So Dadalia continued to move forward along the route of the temporary main mine tunnel towards the main mine tunnel of the Abyss. At the same time, the 9th Company of Fatui did not know at first that their executive officers were looking for them all the way. At this time, they came to the Rugged Stone Hall.

Not long ago, the Ninth Company had several encounters with dark empty shells that suddenly appeared in the black mud while exploring the main mine tunnel of the Abyss. Fortunately, the Ninth Company used their powerful firepower network and their absolute advantage in numbers and firepower to cooperate and annihilate the Black Snake Knights many times.

However, the captain of the 9th Company discovered that more and more people were watching them from nowhere in the abyss. However, the captain did not receive any order from the outside world to let the 9th Company retreat, so he did not choose to retreat. After all, their logistical supplies were still there, and the Dark Shell did not attack their logistics.

The reason for not retreating was that he didn't want this company to be treated as deserters and then executed or demoted after returning to the Kingdom of Winter, or that his duty allowed them to retreat because he was determined to complete the mission of Lord Rooster and defend the honor of the Queen.

However, as more and more encounters took place in the Rugged Stone Hall, although there were no casualties in the team, the number of injured gradually increased. Even with the emergency treatment of the medics, the Fatui could barely maintain the full strength of the team.

But if this continues, even if the soldiers don't mutiny, the company's morale will be unstable, and the highest commander, the captain, dare not think about what will happen next. However, good news came from the logistics department behind. According to the accurate information from the Thousand Rock Army squad leader Officer Yanbo, their executive officer stationed in Liyue, the princess, has arrived at the Layered Rock Abyss.

Some people may ask, how did the Thousand Rocks Army know that the executive officer had come to Layered Rock? Dadalia must have had the documents from the General Affairs Department when she came to Layered Rock, and the General Affairs Department had already informed Mu Ning, the commissioner of Layered Rock's General Affairs Department, of the executive officer's arrival not long ago.

However, Dadalia did not break through the checkpoint directly. Instead, she honestly told the Qianyan Army her identity and background, and showed her pass from the General Affairs Department to the Qianyan Army. After verification, the Qianyan Army let her pass.

Therefore, the news spread within the Qianyan Army. It was no wonder that Yanbo, the commander of the Qianyan Army, knew about it. So he found the Qianyan Army stationed under the Abyss through the Qianyan Army’s secret mining passage, and told the Fatui soldiers in the Ninth Company who were responsible for logistics supply the executive officer’s news.

Not long ago, as the Seven Star Seal on the ground was unlocked, the Qianyan Army stationed in the Juyuan underground mining area also discovered the huge changes above. On the second day after the seal was unlocked, a Qianyan Army soldier discovered that a woman with long orange hair and black clothes suddenly fell from the sky above.

After the woman landed not far from the Qianyan Army, she froze for a while, then headed towards the direction of the main mine tunnel of the Juyuan, and finally disappeared. The Qianyan Army naturally did not dare to step forward to stop her, after all, he was not sure whether she was an enemy or a friend, so he reported to Commander Yanbo.

After listening to the description of the Qianyan Army, Yanbo concluded that the woman was the Fatui executive officer, so he decided not to ask about the matter. After the exploration team came down, Yanbo, as the commander of the Qianyan Army, came to express his welcome to their arrival, and found Tianhe and others to salute him.

Although Tianhe repeatedly stated that he was not the Rock King, but a traveler, Yanbo ignored it and greeted Tianhe with the highest etiquette. Later, Yanbo informed Tianhe and others about the arrival of Dadalia, and Tianhe realized that Dadalia had run down.

But he did not track directly, but opened the first anchor point in the stratum. In the other side of the Rebirth Hall, Zhong Li felt that the anchor point of the underground mining area was opened. But at this time, she was sitting at a table in the living room drinking tea, Hu Anguo was sitting opposite Zhong Li, and Xiao Hutao was reading her own limericks next to Hu Anguo. The scene was particularly warm.

After opening the anchor point, Tianhe did not choose to search deeper directly, but listened to the opinions of Haidi and Jinwu before deciding whether to continue.
