"It's...so dark. Are you sure you want to jump down?" Paimon looked down at the gap in the altar and saw only darkness.
Without a light source, it would be impossible to move here!
"Lost? I think it's very possible." Hearing Yuan Shang's words, Yi Yan lowered his head and glanced at the darkness below.
His eyesight was relatively good, and these darknesses were nothing to him. Because of this, Yi Yan could see the complex and rugged terrain of the Rock Abyss. With the darkness, it was not impossible for the Qiuqiu people to get lost?
"You should study this ancient civilization device here carefully. Don't let people come and you won't be able to do it."
After waving his hands to everyone, Ember jumped down from the high air. Although he felt that using this thing to purify Qiuqiu people would probably be impossible, but there might be some miracle?
Don't say anything too harsh, otherwise you will be slapped in the face.
"Boom!"
There was a dull sound of falling to the ground in the darkness. The embers that fell to the ground turned around and waved to the light above their heads. Naturally, no one could notice.
"Did the ember really jump?" Paimon stretched her little head out of the gap to look, and then she saw a bright light extending upwards.
The light is emitted from each stone, with many colors and looks very gorgeous.
And the source of these lights is naturally the embers that are constantly throwing stones from the pocket.
Iridescent stone - a finished product simply processed from relic stone. After being placed, it can emit any of the seven colors and become a luminous road sign.
In addition, it can also be used to estimate the height from the ground. If you hear a sharp sound after dropping it, it means you will definitely die if you jump.
These stones are not suspended in the air out of thin air, but the embers have found a path that leads directly to the hanging city on top.
With his amazing hand speed and throwing power, a road with colorful lights on both sides appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Standing in the center of the road, Ember waved at them. Now everyone saw it, so they responded.
"It seems we'd better delve into this thing!" Seeing that the problem of getting lost was solved so easily by Ember, Fuchigami had no choice but to shrink his head and ran back to tinker with the altar.
And the darkness outside the altar is being torn apart by a little bit of light.
……
"Where are the Qiuqiu people?"
With a flick of Ember's hand, a glowing iridescent stone fell into the gap, emitting a ray of light.
Where the light illuminates, there are only gravels and stalagmites, without any breath of life.
"The Hilichurls are not here." Ember shook his head, and then began to eject rainbow stones everywhere.
Soon, the vast tunnel was illuminated by densely packed rainbow stones, making it as bright as day.
The seven colors of light complement each other and can blind the eyes of passers-by.
However, although Yan Yan didn't pay much attention to other places, he was very concerned about the dangers on the road.
For example, the mud that can often be seen on the road has been surrounded by embers with red iridescent stones. That circle of bright red, I believe anyone who is not blind can see it.
For example, at some forks in the road, Ember used green iridescent stones to spell out an arrow in the middle of the road.
It can be said that he is quite good as a guide. After all, along the way, the ground that Ember passed through turned into colorful skin, and it was hard not to see it.
As he advanced in the tunnel, he threw iridescent stones, and soon a bright light appeared in front of Ember.
This bright light was not illuminated by the iridescent stone he threw casually, but by a bonfire that was about to go out.
Through the dim light emitted by the campfire, a simple hilly camp could be vaguely seen.
Next to the bonfire, several Qiuqiu people were lying in twos and threes. Some of them had a layer of thatch spread under their bodies, and some were sleeping directly on the ground.
If it weren't for the skin on these Qiuqiu people, at first glance, Ember would have thought they were all dead.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
The iron boots of Ember Armor made a crisp sound when they stepped on the gravel on the ground. In this silent tunnel, this level of sound can be considered harsh.
But the Qiuqiu man lying on the ground just arched his body and made no movement.
"Olah!"
Yi Yan squatted on the ground and poked the Qiuqiu man with his hand, uttering a series of strange syllables, which in the Qiuqiu man's sentence meant "Hello!"
"Mi nye..."
The Qiuqiu people weakly replied "I'm not good". After that, no matter how the embers creaked, these Qiuqiu people had no reaction.
"This is... an old Qiuqiu man?" Yi Yan lifted the arm of a Qiuqiu man lying on the ground. The brown-black skin was dry and rough, with countless scars etched on it.
It can be seen that this Qiuqiu man is extremely rare, an old Qiuqiu man who has been around for a long time and has not been killed.
Yi Yan's head tilted, and he suddenly realized why the Qiuqiu people in the Qiuqiu camp were always full of energy.
It turns out that once the Qiuqiu people reach a certain age, they will take the initiative to leave the camp and find a quiet place to wait quietly for death.
Of course, there are definitely only a few Qiuqiu people who can die like this. Because most Qiuqiu people will not live to old age due to various reasons.
For example, when catching a fire slime, he was blown up to death, when catching a wild boar, he was pushed away by the wild boar, and when he was dancing after grabbing something, he was suffocated by a stick...
The way people from Qiuqiu died didn't require much. But like most monsters, they don't know what death is.
Therefore, even though the Qiuqiu people die in various strange ways, they will not learn any lessons and still vent their infinite energy on the mainland that belongs only to the Qiuqiu people.
"Are all the Qiuqiu people attracted here old and infirm?" Yi Yan turned over the bodies of several more Qiuqiu people and found that these Qiuqiu people were almost dying.
The fact that they can run from their original camp into the rocky abyss is enough to illustrate the tenacity of the Qiuqiu people's vitality.
"A little conscience, but not much." Ember complained as he picked up the Qiuqiu man on the ground.
It seems that the Abyss Cult also knew that the possibility of the ancient civilization device purifying the curse was very low, so they specially attracted the dying Qiuqiu people to do the experiment.
"But fortunately you met me, I am a good person with a conscience!"
After laughing loudly, Yan Yan carried the motionless Qiuqiu man and ran away.
Chapter 597 Friendship between Qiuqiu people

"puff!"
"Ugh!"
"Cuck!"
……
On the small altar, Fuchsami always switched positions back and forth between the wall and the ground, making everyone watching on the side feel terrified.
"Boom!"
Abyss was once again overturned by the invisible wave emanating from the altar, leaving a deep humanoid mark on the nearby wall.
"We really don't want to persuade him? I think Yuan Shang will die if he continues like this." Paimeng looked at the various deep and shallow marks around him, and asked in shock to Yuan You and others who were hiding far away. road.
He usually doesn't stand out in the abyss, but he didn't expect this guy to be so resistant to being beaten, which gave Paimon a lot of experience.
"Yuanshang should know it by himself. He is usually the most sensitive to danger." Sure enough, as soon as Yuanyou finished speaking, Yuanshang climbed out from the wall.
"Huh...huh..., the damage is much less. If I try it a few more times, I can find the right frequency!"
Stand up from the ground, take a few deep breaths, and cheer for yourself.
Now the purification power emitted by the device has done much less damage to him, and I believe it won't be long before it becomes completely harmless!
When he thought that he was about to contribute to the sect's grand plan, Fuchigami felt that the pain on his body was not so unbearable.
He completely forgot that he was a pure apostle of the abyss, and there was no curse from the sky on him.
"Um..., can I ask, is the mark on this caused by the conflict between you two?"
Just when Fuchsami was about to activate the device again, Ember ran up on the road dotted with iridescent stones.
"Ember? You came back so fast?!" Everyone looked for the voice and saw Ember, carrying several Qiuqiu people on his back, appearing at the entrance of the altar hall.
"Qiuqiu people, are they really lost?" Paimon quickly hid behind Ying when he saw the Qiuqiu people carrying embers.
Hearing this, Yi Yan slowly placed several Qiuqiu people on the flat ground outside the main hall.
"That's not the case, it's just that they don't have the strength to keep walking."
"What do you mean?"
Seeing the extremely peaceful appearance of these Qiuqiu people, I lowered my instinctive guard. She crossed the gap in the wall and looked down at Qiuqiu Ren, who was leaning against the wall with his head tilted.
After just a cursory glance, Ying felt that these Qiuqiu people were very abnormal. They give people a feeling of dying.
"What's going on with these Qiuqiu people? Are they sick?" Ying turned to look at the ember beside him and asked.
"No, these Qiuqiu people are a group of elderly Qiuqiu people." Yi Jin waved his hand and continued:
"I think this is all done intentionally by the Abyss Religion. The purpose is to experiment on these dying Qiuqiu people first."
"Is that so? It seems that the Abyss Order is still as cruel as before." Paimon nodded, with a hint of sympathy in his heart.
Unexpectedly, the Qiuqiu people who usually howled would be so quiet, which made Paimon feel a little emotional.
"They are cruel, but they don't seem to have considered whether the Qiuqiu people can come here."
"When I found it, these Qiuqiu people were lying motionless in the camp, looking like they were waiting to die."
Yi Yan gritted his teeth, and his limbs felt numb when he thought of the countless Qiuqiu people waiting for him to carry him over at the bottom of the vast, dark rocky abyss.
With so many Qiuqiu people, when will they be able to carry them all?
"Then do we still need to use them for experiments?" Ying asked the most critical question. She looked up at Ember. It was obvious that only he could make the decision here.
"Do... you want to do it? If you don't do it, I will pack my things and leave." Fuchigami originally wanted to give an affirmative answer aggressively. But when he saw everyone was deep in thought, his tone suddenly softened.
"Hey, those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. Besides, these Qiuqiu people are already dying."
Fuchikami felt that the experiment might not continue, but he was a little unwilling to do so, so he whispered a few reminders.
Huan Yan touched his chin and thought. He lowered his head and saw the Qiuqiu man on the ground, breathing slightly.
"Dang!" Yi Yan patted his helmet, and the loud sound brought the meditating people back to their senses.
"What are you doing? Are you slapping your head because you can't think of the answer?" Paimon saw Yu Jin slapping his head with a helpless look on his face.
This is a very bad habit. Paimon, who is extremely smart, was about to come up with a solution, but because of a slap from Ember, everything in his mind flew away.
