Chapter 186 Farewell to Zanmaran, Encounter with the 9th Company on the Way Back
Zanmaran sensed that Tianhe and his friends had returned. The waiting time did not seem to be much for it, as it had been in the Layered Rock Abyss for a long time. However, when Tianhe and his friends came back, Zanmaran could clearly feel that there were many more people, but it did not feel the breath from the abyss this time.
It seems that Tianhe and the others still attach great importance to it. It is very grateful for the help of Tianhe and others. "Praise Tianhe, praise everyone, thank you for your help. At present, I can clearly feel that the surrounding environment is gradually getting better. Woo, it seems that I will sleep for a while. I wish Tianhe and you a successful trip."
After Zanmaran finished speaking, he fell silent. It looked like he had fallen asleep. However, the light emanating from his body did not dim because of his sleep. Instead, it shone brighter, illuminating the darkness ahead. Tianhe could clearly feel that this light seemed to be guiding him and the others, because it was pointing towards a deeper place.
However, now is not a good time to move forward. The first goal should be to settle these thirty black snake knights from the destroyed ancient country, the palace guard of Kanreya. Lanningba confirmed that Zanmaran had indeed fallen asleep. It took a few last glances at Zanmaran and left with Tianhe and the others.
However, these Black Snake Knights basically all use the skill of Earth Teleportation. Although they don't know when they will use it, they generally don't use this ability casually, for fear of running into trouble with the Abyss Cult one day.
As for the hill people in the nameless ruins area, although the Black Snake Knights also wanted to leave, they were still a little worried about them, but Tianhe couldn't do anything about it. They just wanted to get a moment of peace at the moment, and even if Tianhe wanted to help, he had already spent a lot of energy before, and he was powerless.
Tianhe was quite clear about what was in the nameless ruins above, and on his way back, he would naturally pass through the nameless ruins area. After Tianhe and others cleaned up this area some time ago, there were basically no monsters. Tianhe took these black snake knights and found those hill people.
The bodies of the Hilichurls at this time have long been aged and huddled aside. Perhaps when Tianhe and the others come back, all that will be left of them are the masks on their faces. These Hilichurls have the blood of Kanreya flowing in their veins, so this is why Halfdan and the others still want to protect them and regard them as the Kanreya people they once protected.
Now, the Black Snake Knights were about to leave, and the Hillmen seemed to have sensed something, but their language ability had aged, and they could no longer speak. But the Hillmen looked at Halfdan and his men, and they were not without gratitude for the Black Snake Knights who had protected them, but they could no longer repay them.
The hillbillies struggled to get up, but they failed. They probably wanted to thank them before they left. The Black Snake Knight couldn't bear to watch any longer and said goodbye to them. They would probably return to the earth veins after this, but Tianhe thought about it and used his purification ability to help them dissipate some of the curse.
These hillbillies stood up again, and they managed to speak a fairly coherent ancient Kanriya language, which roughly meant, "Thank you for the service of the palace guards. You have worked hard during this period, and we will see you again if we are lucky." After they finished speaking, they looked at Tianhe, as if they recognized his identity and wanted to say something.
However, their bodies could no longer support them to continue. The purification of the Sky River had already fulfilled their last wish. Afterwards, their bodies gradually dissipated and merged into the earth veins. Halfdan personally took the lead and mourned for these dead compatriots for a while. They stopped watching. Witnessing these hillbillies leave was the best they could do at the moment.
Later, under Tianhe's leadership, everyone came to the elevator. These Kanreya people had seen elevators before, so they were not surprised. They took the elevator in the nameless ruins and headed upwards. The Ninth Company had just arrived at the Rugged Stone Hall, so they naturally saw the elevator.
They didn't know when the elevator appeared, nor how to use it, but they found that the machine was running, so they became alert. Then when the elevator gradually stopped, Tianhe and others came out, and when they saw the executive officer and Tianhe and others, their tense hearts gradually relaxed.
As for what happened afterwards, to be continued~
