The feet suddenly became extremely wet, and at the same time, accompanied by the ethereal sound of fish swimming in the sea, Yushang was awakened from the illusion of becoming a baptizer of the abyss.
"What?" Yuanshang turned around and saw an aqua blue spirit bead appearing in the shrine at some point.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, the spirit bead automatically flew into Yuan Shang's hand, "Is this considered..., done?"
Yuanshang scratched his head, took away the spirit beads, and ran to the predetermined meeting point without looking back.
As for how this thing came out, who cares? Just get it into his hands!
Yuan Shang left, leaving only the thundering stones on the ground sizzling.
Maybe the person who set it up didn't expect that one day someone would crack the mechanism without even looking at the Thunder Stone?
……
"Om-"
The abyss passage reflecting the starlight was opened, and Abyss walked out of it.
"Are you all here?" Yuan Shang looked at his friends. Without exception, they all held a water-blue orb in their hands.
"Just arrived." Yuan You glanced at Yuan Shang and nodded.
"Yuan Xia, give me an electric shock." Yuan Shang approached Yuan Xia, pointed at his arm and said.
"Discharge? Did something go wrong with you after drinking bark water?" Yuan Xia looked at Yuan Shang as if he was insane. It turned its head and said to Yuan Zuo, who was playing with the orb at the side:
"Yuan Zuo, make him another cup of bark water."
"Oh."
Yuan Zuo responded, and then took out four glasses and a handful of shriveled golden tree bark from his blue fur.
After a while, each of the four cups of golden bark water had one cup in hand.
"Hey, Yuan You, when should we start taking action?" Yuan Shang took a sip of tea and asked Yuan You.
"Hey, wait until it gets dark." Yuan You looked at the sky and said it was still early.
"Hey~, by the way, do you feel that something is wrong with you recently? I always feel like there is a book in my hand recently." Yuanxia looked at his companions and revealed the secret in his heart.
He also thought about studying it secretly, but considering his own virtue, Yunxia felt that he had a book in his hand... so it was very possible that he was corrupted by the forbidden power and went crazy.
"It's been there a long time ago." Yuan You was not surprised. It had already noticed the abnormality of its companions, but it just didn't say anything.
"Hey~, I have one too. I can make hot tea now." Yuan Zuo also raised his hand and whispered.
"It's true!" Fuchikami raised the glass and said in surprise.
"It's true!" Yuanxia took another sip, equally surprised.
"It's true! Make more love in the future." Yuan You patted Yuan Zuo, and his words finally changed.
……
At night, the Coral Palace was still brightly lit, but there were far fewer guards outside than during the day.
"Is there no one there?" Yuan Shang looked around furtively and kept mumbling.
"If you keep talking, there will be someone else!" Yuan You covered Yuan Shang's mouth, then immediately took out the orb and threw it into the water hole under the Coral Palace.
Several others also followed suit and threw the orbs in their hands into what the people of Haiji Island call the "Moon Bathing Abyss".
"Boom!"
The four orbs entered the heart, and the calm Moon Bathing Abyss immediately reacted, and the calm water flow roared instantly.
The water flowed endlessly, and a deep hole appeared in the water surface due to the rotation of the water flow.
"What are you waiting for?! Jump!" Yuan You saw the shaking figure in the Coral Palace above, waved to his companions behind him, and then jumped down.
"Yuanxia Palace! I'm coming!" After Jian Yuanyou jumped down, the remaining ones also jumped down.
After swallowing four travelers from the abyss, the Moon Bathing Abyss calmed down again, as if everything just now did not exist.
……
"What's going on? What was that noise just now?!" Xinhai, who was dealing with official duties, heard the roaring sound of water outside and immediately ran out of the Coral Palace.
"My lord, it's the Moon Bathing Abyss that has changed." The witch who had been waiting at the side for a long time replied.
"Moon Bathing Abyss? How long has it been since the last time the Abyss Palace was opened?" Xinhai asked the witch beside him while thinking.
"It's been 427 years, and the goddess miko-sama has appeared."
"Oh? I was just wondering why this island of yours is so abnormal. It turns out that the water vortex below is the eye of the formation."
"How is it? Do you want us fools to help?" The lady felt the chaotic atmosphere of the earth veins beside the Moon Bath Abyss and said with a smile.
"Thank you Zhidong for your kindness, but the [spirit] return ceremony has been held several times on Haiji Island, so I don't need the help of the Fools for the time being."
"Luzi, tell me to go down and have the witches prepare for the ceremony. It seems that this [spiritual] return ceremony will probably be held under my watch."
"Remember, there can be no mistakes!"
After Xinhai nodded and thanked the lady, he quickly gave the instructions, as calmly as if he had expected it.
Chapter 452 Young Master is in action
2024-01-29
It is here that Daoji's proud specialty "Yu Gang" is produced here.
But the once bustling steelmaking base is now deserted, with not many people in sight.
The reason is still the inexplicable explosion in the Mikage Furnace heart a while ago. This explosion not only burned the heart of the furnace, but also leaked a large amount of crystallized bone marrow smelted in it.
The crystallized bone marrow is the remains of a large snake, and the power it contains is far beyond what ordinary people can bear.
So the miners who originally gathered here fled and scattered, leaving an empty shell here.
The shogunate was busy fighting the war with the rebels and could not spare any manpower to deal with this difficult matter, so it had to hastily send out a few guards and pretend that it had been handled by itself.
"So easy again?"
In the center of Tatar Sand, a group of fools quietly walked in. They stood in the huge mine filled with purple light, sighing at the ease of diving.
"Haha, those losers from the shogunate, what can you expect them to do?" Musket heard the ridicule of his companions, and he also started mocking.
"If you don't want to be as incompetent as them, just shut up!" Thunder Hammer was obviously the captain of the team. As soon as he spoke, the fools suddenly became silent and became silent.
Seeing that the team became quiet, Thunder Hammer turned around and asked the only intellectual rock user guerrilla in the team:
"How about, can you clearly see the current state of this hearth?"
Upon hearing this, the rock envoy looked at the ground with a rock staff that was almost exactly the same as Qiuqiu Shaman's, and then several transparent crystals condensed from rock elements flew up out of thin air and suspended in the air.
The style and shape of the crystals are extremely special, and they look very small and delicate. They don't look like stones summoned to hit people during battle.
This is also true. Through the chips suspended in the air, the rock user can clearly see the appearance of the furnace core in the sky from the bottom of the mine.
"Well..., compared with the past few days, this furnace core is even worse. There is no need for us to take action." Yan Shi said with certainty after raising his head and carefully observing the condition of the furnace core for a while.
"That's good, this damn place is really not for people. Everyone is here, close the team!" After hearing that he didn't have to work any more today, the usually serious Thunder Hammer also breathed a rare sigh of relief.
The Mikage Furnace Heart was destroyed by the fools, initially to frame the blame on the rebels and intensify the conflict between the two sides.
But this is easier said than done? After all, Mikage Luxin is also Inazuma's jade steel production base. And Yugang is precisely the important reason why Inazuma's weapons are famous among the seven countries.
Therefore, one can imagine the degree of guarding of the Mikage Furnace Heart. Even the Fools could only lurk in the sand for a few months, and after asking around, they found a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
But they still underestimated the protective measures of the Mikage Furnace. The elemental bomb that could have blown up the same size of Mikage Furnace's steel was installed on the Mikage Furnace's heart, but it only made a small hole.
In order not to be exposed, the fools who stepped on the sand quickly fled here after the plan was implemented.
But no one expected that just a small hole in the heart of the Mikage Furnace would allow all the miners and guards to escape.
Ever since, the fools who had left came back. You don’t know this by looking at it, and you’re shocked when you see it.
When the furnace core was first destroyed by them, there was only a small hole, but when they came back, the entire furnace core was actually full of cracks!
The reason for this is probably only known to professionals.
"Fools? So it was you who broke this thing?!"
Just when the Fools were organizing their equipment and preparing to return to the camp, they suddenly heard a shouting sound coming from afar.
Everyone turned around and saw a man wearing a high hat and a red and black suit walking out of a mine tunnel.
"People from Fontaine, why are you here?" The eyes under the mask of Thunder Hammer narrowed. Only the people from Fontaine would not find such complicated clothes troublesome.
But why would a Fontaine person come here?
"Only you Solstice people are allowed to come here to do damage, and we Fontaine people are not allowed to come here to do maintenance?" Xavier adjusted his hat and asked the fool in front of him.
Obviously he was just one person, but facing the team of fools, he showed no fear at all.
"Maintenance?" The rock envoy in the team looked at Xavier, the inventor of Fontainebleau, whose research on machinery is the best in the Seven Kingdoms.
This person is probably an inventor, right?
"Yes! I can't just watch your conspiracy succeed." Xavier nodded, then pointed at the crowd of fools opposite and said:
"You guys, it's best to follow me to the Law Court... Bah, bah, bah! Tian Ling surrenders himself and strives for leniency, otherwise..."
"Hey, hey, hey, are there only a few of us?" Xavier was about to threaten the Fatui on the opposite side when he was interrupted by the Rock Master.
He turned his head and saw that the Rock Envoy's face, wrapped in bandages, had a half-smile on it, full of mockery.
"Is it possible that you have an accomplice? It's best to fight the law together!" Xavier said righteously, as if he didn't see the ridicule on Yanshi's face.
"Hahaha, you guys are good at pretending to be stupid." Yan Shi laughed heartily.
After laughing, he held on to his rock staff and continued: "Don't tell me you don't know how this hearth became like this!"
"It's true that we made a hole in it! But that kind of fault can be repaired in half a day as long as you are careful!"
"How do you think this hearth became like this? Is it caused by the shogunate's wrangling? Mr. Justice Messenger!"
After Rock Messenger finished speaking, Xavier fell into silence. After a long time, he raised his head and his tone became as excited as before again.
"I can't take care of the shogunate officials now, but I will take care of them in the future. And you, I can take care of you now!"
"Everyone is here, come to me!" Xavier waved his hand, and a group of clockwork mechanisms sprang out of the mine tunnel behind him.
"A clockwork mechanism? Just relying on this rigid mechanism to stop us is nonsense!"
