After climbing over a side peak, the view of frost and rapids suddenly opened up. The rugged gravel disappeared, replaced by a large area of green at the foot of the mountain.
And a hazy city surrounded by green.
"That's Mond!" The two apostles' eyes widened suddenly. The windmills below that had not changed for thousands of years and the city walls surrounding them made the apostles recognize Mond at a glance.
Since the city below is Mondstadt, then this should be the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain.
Frostfall and Jiliu carefully scanned the endless mountain range and actually found some special iconic places.
As for the others, they have already changed drastically.
Not to mention the changes in the terrain as the golden tree grew, the snow that was removed from the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain alone would probably be enough to make this mountain range covered in thick snow completely different from before.
The two apostles shook their heads. It was obvious that they had thought of this as well. After calming down, Frostfall and Rapids continued to walk forward along the flat area.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the golden tree in front of the two apostles grew larger and larger until it almost filled their entire field of vision.
At this time, they were not far from the top of the mountain.
"hidden!"
At this moment, Shuangluo's eyes focused, and after shouting in a low voice to his companion beside him, he jumped into the opening abyss passage.
Seeing this, the rapids also jumped in belatedly. The mountain, which had been somewhat lively, suddenly became quiet again.
"Swish!"
The silence did not last long, and the sound of footsteps on fallen leaves could be heard again in the deserted mountains.
Soon, a man wearing a conical hat and wearing rather strange clothes walked out from a rock.
The reason why he was said to be peculiar was mainly because the bamboo hat he wore was too big, to the point that one would wonder if he had torn off an umbrella hat from somewhere and put it on his head.
"Hmm? Such a familiar smell." The soldier sniffed his nose. In the snow and gravel, he smelled a different scent.
He was very familiar with that smell. After all, he had explored the abyss underground for a long time and climbed to the sixth position of executive officer.
"Hey, I think if you guys weren't as forgetful as moles, you should know who I am, right?"
The soldier stopped and said to the open space in front of him. He had fought with the Abyss Apostles many times underground, and he believed that he must have left a deep impression on those difficult guys.
"call……"
A slight breeze blew by, picking up the withered yellow leaves and weeds on the ground, and only a few crows followed suit with their cries.
Unfortunately, this place is close to the top of the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, and the crows can't fly up. The scattered soldiers waited for a long time, but even the crows didn't cry.
"Hehe, that's good. Let's see who has more patience. Others may not know, but I know it very well."
"It must be very uncomfortable for you to stay in the abyss passage, right?"
Not getting a response, San Bing felt a little annoyed, but he didn't show it on the outside, just leaned against a rock and waited quietly.
Just as he said, it's a test of patience. Although his patience is not very sufficient, Sanbing believes that the Apostle of the Abyss can wait even longer than him.
Sure enough, Sanbing didn't have to wait long before the elemental power around him began to fluctuate.
I have seen the abyss passage open many times, but this time what came out first was not the body of the Abyss Apostle covered in a robe, but an ice cone emitting a chilling cold air.
"Oh? Frostfall? Looks like I'm lucky this time!" The corner of Sanbing's mouth curled up, and lightning elements began to float on his body.
His evil eye is of lightning element, which is perfect for dealing with Frostfall, the Apostle of the Abyss who controls the ice element.
"boom!"
The purple lightning collided with the flying ice cone, and the ice cone instantly broke into pieces. The scattered ice mist finally made this overly "soft" snow mountain more sharp.
"Hahaha, if you don't run away now, I'm afraid you won't have a chance next time!"
The cold ice fog was no trouble at all for the puppet-like skirmisher. He strode directly through the ice fog and laughed as he looked at Frostfall who was walking out of the abyss passage in front of him.
"Don't think you know everything about the cult." Frostfall looked at the "human" in front of him, and he had an impression.
This guy is a human who went deep underground many years ago, and seems to belong to an organization called "The Fatui".
But for the Abyss Cult, the Fatui? The Knights of Favonius? The Thousand Rocks? They are all the same, they are just enemies.
There was a sudden bright white light on Frostfall's arm, and then the ice elements gathered rapidly, instantly forming an icy claw that firmly grabbed the scattered soldiers not far away.
"Huh? So fast!" The soldier only felt the elements gathering in his perception, and before he could react, a cage made of solid ice grew out from the ground.
“But do you think it will work?” Looking at the cage that was emitting cold air, Sanbing covered his arm with the element of thunder and threw a heavy punch!
"Crack!"
Just like smashing an ice cone, the soldier smashed the ice cage with one punch.
"I've told you before, don't assume you know everything about the Order."
Another voice suddenly came from the skirmisher's ear, catching him off guard.
Then, two aqua blue cross water knives appeared out of thin air in front of the scattered soldier.
"two?!"
The soldier's eyes widened. Two apostles going out together? He had never seen such a situation before!
And this time, the two apostles complement each other.
The water knife slashed at the side of the scattered soldier, and the pain was secondary. What was more troublesome was the solid ice that was about to spread to his whole body.
"Ha!" The lightning snake surged, and the thin ice formed on the scattered soldiers' bodies was shattered in an instant.
Of course the apostles knew that it was impossible to freeze the scattered soldiers. All they wanted was a flaw.
"Boy, be careful next time and don't be careless!" The aqua-blue arm blade swung at the crossed arms of the soldier, and the huge force instantly knocked him away.
"Boom!" Gravel flew everywhere, and the skirmishers smashed a few rocks before they could stop.
Feeling the unusual touch on his blade, Jiliu nodded to Shuangluo beside him and said solemnly:
"This guy is not human."
The skirmishers during the executive officer period did not have the Eye of God, I forgot about that before.

"Cough, cough, cough!"
Amidst the rubble, the soldier gradually stood up. He looked at the wound on his arm that was almost bone-deep, and a surge of anger rose in his heart.
In the past, when the Apostles of the Abyss met him, they would run away, but today they were pecked in the eyes by the wild geese.
"Doll?"
"If you are not human, why are you still an enemy of the cult?"
The two apostles saw the lines and joints beneath the wound and spoke with some doubt.
Could it be that the kingdoms on earth have already developed to such a powerful level? You know, even in the destroyed Kanreya, the only machines with intelligence left were in the laboratories.
"Haha, you don't need to know. Ask these questions after you die!"
The scattered soldier activated his evil eye and rushed to the two apostles in an instant. His speed did not slow down at all.
He is a puppet, so as long as the internal circuits and structures are not damaged, even if the surface is riddled with holes, the performance will not be affected in the slightest.
As it happens, the two wounds caused by the rapids were superficial injuries. As long as they didn't go any further, they would just be ugly to the skirmishers.
"Die? You're strong. But killing us isn't enough!"
The abyss passage appeared, the apostles disappeared, and the skirmishers also stopped in front of the abyss passage.
The starry sky was beautiful, but it contained countless dangers. The soldier was sure that if he jumped in, he would be dead without a burial place.
There are many dangerous places in this world, and the Abyss Cult is the organization that knows these places best.
"how?"
The abyss passage opened and the apostle reappeared.
The Fatui were not the only ones who wanted to investigate the cult, and the Skirmisher was just one of the more active ones.
It is not a pipe dream for him to kill the Apostle of the Abyss by himself, but it is not far from the truth.
The Abyss Cult's number one enemy, Dainsleb, was much stronger than the scattered soldiers. But in the past few hundred years, he had killed only a handful of Abyss apostles.
More than that, it was just a plan to destroy the cult.
"They are just a bunch of rats who can only run away." The soldier retracted his fist and said with a sneer.
"I don't want to argue with you, but since you are not human, there is no need for us to waste time here. You do your thing and I do mine."
Shuangluo looked at the scattered soldiers ready to go, turned his head and stopped looking. The most important thing now was to collect more information about the golden tree.
A scattered soldier, just an insignificant person, there is no need to waste too much time on him.
"Boom!" A flash of lightning rushed over and rushed towards Frostfall and the rapids.
However, the two seemed to be well prepared. The abyss passage in front of them reappeared, and the accumulated attack of the scattered soldiers had no other effect except shattering the rocks.
"I've discovered that you have a lot of shortcomings. You're arrogant, conceited, and now you can't see the situation clearly."
The teasing voice echoed in the open space, and the two abyss apostles had long disappeared.
"Huh, damn it!" The soldier spat secretly. Although he was unwilling, he had to admit that the Apostle of the Abyss was right.
If there was only one Abyss Apostle he could still try to stay, but if there were two, then fighting with them would only become a meaningless waste of time.
You can't kill it by hitting it, and you can't keep it from being killed either. It's useless except wasting your energy.
"It's better not to pray for the Fatui to explore the abyss again, otherwise you will be in trouble!" The skirmisher hammered the rock next to him and continued to move towards the top of the mountain.
Originally, he would not have gone to Mondstadt so early, but headquarters observed the unusual changes in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain and sent him there in advance.
Sanbing had no objection to this. Ever since he came back from exploring the abyss underground, his mission had become to be on standby.
Mobile standby, mobile standby, it sounds nice, but in fact it is just about dealing with some emergencies and doing some work that others are unwilling to do.
……
The top of the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain has changed dramatically. The originally jagged rocks have been roughly flattened and pushed away by the growing trees, and the rugged top of the mountain has now become extremely flat.
The snow on the large open space in front of the golden tree had melted away, and dots of green dotted the area, making the top of the mountain the most lively place.
