Chapter 697: Weird Hill People
In comparison, no matter how difficult this commission is, it shouldn't be more difficult than that one. "Okay, okay, now that you've said that, if I refuse again, wouldn't it seem like I'm afraid? Let's go, speed up!" Kong gritted his teeth and encouraged himself, his eyes rekindled with fighting spirit.
Seeing Kong's confident look, Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction. He thought to himself, Kong is really easy to motivate. However, Lin Feng knew that this time might not be as simple as last time. He thought to himself that he might run into Dainsleb again this time, and he didn't know what would happen. Well... Anyway, he could only take it one step at a time, and there seemed to be no other way.
After a day and a night, the three of them finally arrived at the Deep Forest Abyss. Along the way, Ba Che ran tirelessly. If Lin Feng were to walk by himself, it would probably take at least three days and two nights. It must be said that it is convenient to have a means of transportation. Lin Feng secretly sighed in his heart, and even regretted it a little. If he had known earlier, he would have tamed a more low-key mount. If the dragon lizard was not too ostentatious, Lin Feng would not have accepted Ba Che. It would be better to just rely on Pikachu. Pikachu is also very fast in the water.
After arriving at the abyss, the three walked a little closer and immediately saw a very obvious camp. The camp was built in a rather simple manner, with some mining tools and supplies placed around it. An old wooden pickaxe was thrown on the ground casually, and the pickaxe head was worn out, showing that it had experienced countless excavations. A rusty iron shovel was leaning on the side, and the shovel was covered with rust. There were also some sacks full of ore piled together, with many holes in the sacks, revealing the ore inside. However, there was no shadow of a person in it, only a person standing next to a tent, shaking his head and sighing.
Paimon immediately floated forward and asked politely, "Hello! Is that... that Yuehui? We are sent by the Adventurer's Association." Paimon's voice was clear and loud, breaking the silence around him. In this empty camp, his voice seemed particularly abrupt, echoing in the air and attracting the man's attention.
Yue Hui raised his head immediately after hearing Paimon's voice, and his eyes were instantly filled with light. His originally depressed face showed a look of surprise, and he quickly said: "Oh, nice to meet you, it is indeed the commission I issued." After that, Yue Hui looked at Kong and looked him up and down, "Hmm? This person seems a little familiar... Is he a famous adventurer?" Kong's conspicuous yellow hair and Paimon floating in the air are really hard to ignore. In Liyue Port, and even in the entire Teyvat continent, such a unique hair color and this team combination are rare, which inevitably makes people impressed by him.
Kong shook his head helplessly. He was used to such inquiries. His yellow hair was so recognizable that even if people didn't want to know him, it would be hard for them to know him. Seeing this, Kong also shook his head and interrupted his idea of continuing to ask questions, "My background is quite complicated, let's get down to business." Kong didn't want to talk too much about his own affairs. He was more concerned about the commissioned task in front of him. He hoped to understand the situation as soon as possible, conduct an investigation, and go to Xumi as soon as possible.
After hearing what Kong said, Yue Hui was very tactful and did not continue to ask questions, but began to talk about the reason why he issued this commission. "Is that so? Okay. Let me introduce myself first. I am a miner who got the mining license for the Layered Rock Abyss not long ago. I have some brothers who follow me." Yue Hui straightened his chest slightly, with a hint of pride in his tone. After all, it is not easy to get a mining license for the Layered Rock Abyss. I don't know how much effort he spent behind this. Fortunately, hard work pays off. In the end, he successfully obtained the license. This is undoubtedly a huge wealth income for him and his brothers. After all, this is the Layered Rock Abyss.
Paimon was also shocked when he heard this. His originally lively eyes widened into an incredible expression. He said in surprise, "How could you actually get a mining license for the Layered Rock Abyss?"
Mining in the Stratum Chasm was completely banned a long time ago. It is said that a series of catastrophic events occurred during the mining process in the Stratum Chasm. Since then, the Stratum Chasm has been regarded as an extremely dangerous place and has been strictly sealed off, and no one is allowed to engage in mining. Now someone has obtained a mining license for the Stratum Chasm, which really surprised Paimon.
Yue Hui nodded with emotion when he heard Paimeng's words. His thoughts were instantly pulled back to the difficult application process, and a complex expression appeared on his face, with both bitter memories and the relief of success. "Well, Yujingtai has finally come to its senses. Under the protection of the Qianyan Army, some mineral mining limited to the shallow range has been allowed. We are the first batch." He frowned slightly, as if recalling the various twists and turns in the application process. After a pause, he looked around vigilantly to make sure there was nothing unusual, and then he lowered his voice and said, "But something happened recently, and the miners are a little panicked." His eyes revealed deep worry, and his voice was unconsciously lowered.
Paimeng was also very curious after hearing this. He flew around quickly in the air, then stopped in mid-air and asked impatiently, "What happened? We don't think we've heard about it." In their understanding of Liyue, Liyue Port is the main administrative city of Liyue and the center of information gathering. All kinds of events will spread quickly here. If something major happened, they should have heard about it, but now they know nothing about it, which completely aroused Paimeng's curiosity.
After listening to Paimeng's words, Yue Hui thought about it carefully, and then said slowly: "Well... this matter is not big or small, it's just a little weird... A brother was resting when he suddenly noticed a few hillbillies passing by in a trance. Moreover, these hillbillies didn't even look at him, but went straight to the depths of the layered rock abyss." Yue Hui narrowed his eyes slightly, as if trying to recall the scene at that time, "So the brother deliberately paid close attention and observed for a period of time, and found that similar situations would occur from time to time." A worried look appeared on his face, and his originally relaxed brows were now tightly furrowed. Obviously, this incident made him and the miners feel extremely uneasy.
