Chapter 359: Rock Dragon Lizard Under the Abyss
After a busy period, Ying and Paimeng finally arrived at Jueyunjian.
The mountains here are surrounded by clouds and mist, giving people a feeling of being in another world, which is completely different from other nameless mountains.
According to the people of Liyue, the mountains here are full of spiritual energy.
However, Ying and Paimon did not know that a major incident had occurred here a year ago. Gods and dragons fought here and almost destroyed it.
If the gods, dragons and immortals had not worked together to rebuild it, there would be no scene as it is today.
"Well, even though that fellow Young Master said so, Jueyunjian looks so huge. How are we supposed to find the Immortal?"
Not long after entering the Cloudless Room, Paimeng scratched his head and spoke in confusion.
“Start from the highest mountain.”
Ying didn't know what to do, but after looking up at Qingyun Peak, she suggested this.
Looking from afar at the Qingyun Peak that seemed to reach into the sky, she subconsciously wondered if there might be a palace where immortals lived on the top of the mountain.
"Good idea, let's go there quickly."
Paimon nodded.
After an accident happened during the ceremony of inviting the immortals, Ying was worried and fled with Paimeng, but the scene had been blocked off at that time, and their escape made them suspicious.
This time they came to Jueyunjian to look for the immortal in order to clear the suspicion on them.
"Ah."
Ying nodded and headed towards Qingyun Peak with Paimon.
Although she had wings of wind, they could only be used for gliding. She could not fly, so she had to go to the foot of the mountain to find a way up the mountain.
……
Although the Liyue Seven Stars tried their best to block the news of the Emperor's murder, the incident happened during the ceremony of summoning the immortals and it was impossible to conceal it. After a few days, the people of Liyue Harbor were in a panic.
Unlike other countries except Mondstadt, Liyue has never experienced the departure of gods in thousands of years. Now that it has lost the Geo King, many people are confused about the future of Liyue and don’t even know how to continue their own business.
"I have had the Immortal Ancestor's Transfiguration transferred to the Golden House. In addition, although my doctors did not dare to examine the Emperor's Immortal Body at will, they did find something."
In the Jade Pavilion, Ningguang explained to the other six Liyue Seven Stars.
She was in charge of presiding over the ceremony of inviting the immortals, so she was the first one to deal with the incident. The other seven stars came over after hearing the news to confirm the specific situation.
"What discovery?"
Keqing, who was the Yuheng Star, immediately asked.
When she learned that the emperor was murdered, she couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Every once in a while, Immortal Ancestor Fa Tui will spit out a crystal piece of lightning element from his mouth, just like this."
Ningguang explained to Keqing and the other seven stars of Liyue, raised one hand and extended her index finger, gathering the elemental power of rock on it, and nodded to Keqing as a reminder.
Keqing understood and also stretched out a hand to touch Ningguang's fingers. The next moment, the rock element and the lightning element reacted, and a purple crystal fell on the table in the conference room.
"Lightning element crystal... The emperor is the rock god, why does he have lightning element in his body?"
Looking at the thunder element crystal on the table, Tianshuxing frowned and spoke in confusion.
"How many people in the world can assassinate the emperor, and use the element of lightning? Could it be..."
After hearing Tianshu's words, the other seven stars of Liyue couldn't help but speculate.
If you ask who has the strongest thunder elemental power in the world, I am afraid that the people of the seven countries will unanimously say "Thor".
After all, the seven countries are governed by seven rulers, and the power of gods is a consensus among the people of the seven countries.
"This matter has not yet been concluded, so please do not make any rash comments."
Ningguang couldn't help but speak up to stop them from continuing the discussion.
After hearing what Ningguang said, the others nodded.
Afterwards, the Seven Stars of Liyue began to discuss what to do next and how to investigate the cause of the Emperor's murder, whether they themselves wanted to know what happened or to give an explanation to the people.
……
"Children! Your king is back!"
Under the rocky abyss, Ruoli shouted loudly towards the ground, carrying the pink-haired fox that had lost all hope in life on her shoulders.
Along with Ruoli's shouts, the entire rock abyss seemed to boil. Accompanied by bursts of roars, the rock dragon lizards lurking deep in the earth came out one after another.
The last time the Ruota Dragon King escaped from the Fulong Tree, he awakened some of the rock dragon lizards, but they were all stopped outside the Jueyunjian by the immortals.
This time, Ruoli awakened all the rock dragon lizards at once. Even those who did not live in the Layered Rock Abyss area rushed here one after another.
If you walk along the route the rock dragon lizard passes, you might be able to feel a slight earthquake.
"It's over, it's over, she's serious..."
Looking at the sturdy rock dragon lizards and more young rock dragon lizards crawling out from the surroundings, the pink-haired fox carried on Ruoli's shoulders couldn't help but raise his hands to cover his eyes.
"What should I do... I can't run away, so why don't I start looking for a good place..."
"I remember there is a suppressed demon under Guyun Pavilion. Hmm... if I am also suppressed there, wouldn't it be... quite a good deal?"
"But that's not right. If the Rock Dragon wants to attack Liyue, it can only do so by land..."
Unable to break free from Ruoli's hand, the pink-haired fox couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts.
The rock dragon lizards cannot speak. After gathering together, they roared to celebrate the return of the Rock Dragon King.
The roar of the rock dragon lizards, accompanied by the shaking of the earth, almost spread throughout the entire bottom of the rock abyss.
The armored Black Snake Knight was facing a formidable enemy, but he still stood in front of the Hillilians.
The mushroom beasts all hid in the corners, and even the mages of the Abyss Cult looked around in confusion, and then used the power of the Abyss Cult to leave the bottom of the abyss.
"There's an earthquake?! Damn it, hurry back to the camp!"
A group of Fatui stationed at the bottom of the Abyss were also affected.
At this depth underground, it is not difficult to imagine how serious the consequences would be if an earthquake caused a collapse.
As the former masters of the earth, although their population is much smaller now, the roar of thousands of rock dragon lizards is still enough to deter the villains in the territory.
"My children, take a rest for a few days. When Liyue Port is in trouble in the sea, follow me to attack from behind. We will capture Liyue Port in one fell swoop!"
Ruoli gave instructions to the rock dragon lizards.
"Roar--!"
Many rock dragon lizards participated in the war between gods and dragons thousands of years ago. When they heard the orders from their king, they roared excitedly.
"...Ahem, my king, my general is calling me home for dinner. How about letting me go back and have a meal first...?"
The pink-haired fox couldn't help but gently hook Ruoli's cheek with its tail and weakly suggested to her.
It was quite reasonable for her to call Ruoli "Great King". After all, a long time ago, all races called the seven dragon kings this way.
To be precise, there is no concept of "Dragon King" for elemental life, because there is only one dragon of a certain element. The dragon is the pinnacle of elemental life, and is not the same concept as various flying dragons, pseudo-dragons, and divine dragons. The seven elemental dragons are collectively called the "Seven Kings."
They are also called the "Seven Kings of Terror" by humans.
