This also led to the establishment of Liyue's mining industry for the next thousand years.
Legend has it that when the nameless star fell, a piece of debris burst out and landed among the rocks in the northern part of Lisha Suburb.
In fact, Liyue’s mines are not limited to the Stratochasm. There are similar places in other places.
The most famous one is Mingyun Town.
Mingyun Town, located in the southwest of Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, can be said to be the border between Liyue and Mondstadt.
This place is rich in Yebo Stone and was once a rich mine.
But no matter how rich it is, it will be harvested one day.
A few years ago it was gradually abandoned due to the depletion of resources.
Nowadays, apart from some monsters, there are basically no ordinary people to be seen.
Occasionally, there would be a yellow-haired fool who, carrying some emergency food, would drill around in the mine, looking for unknown treasures.
But there is one thing worth mentioning.
Thousands of years ago, an unknown object once fell from the sky on the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain.
However, it is not known whether the mine in Mingyun Town has any connection with this fallen object.
After leaving Xiao in Dihuazhou, Bai Luo left there overnight, crossed a broken bridge, and arrived near Mingyun Town.
From a corner of the Broken Bridge, one can see the former glory of this place.
But since Mingyun Town lost all its value, the bridge has lost its only function.
Even if it's broken, no one is willing to pay to repair it.
The herbalists nearby dismantled some of the waste materials from the wooden bridge and built a simple passage on the water.
Bai Luo came here because he naturally wanted to return to Mondstadt from here.
By the way, let’s go to the snow mountain to see if Yin is slacking off.
After passing through the narrow valley, the situation gradually became clear.
Although Bai Luo had been to Xumi, he went around it from Nata and did not go to the Layered Rock Abyss.
So far, he has not seen the Lacuna in the true sense.
However, looking at the layered rock walls, towering peaks, and the plank roads built on the rock walls in Mingyun Town.
It also made him sigh involuntarily.
That's what the Chasm is like, right
However, after he went to the Layered Abyss, he realized how naive his current thoughts were.
After admiring this not-so-aesthetic scenery, Bai Luo identified the direction and headed towards the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain.
In addition to the traces of miners' former residence, other things can also be seen in the abandoned mine.
For example, the Hillilchur roadblocks, the logo of the Treasure Thieves, and... ... the Fatui's tents.
Hey, we Fatui are really everywhere.
After dismantling the mechanism used to prevent intrusion by outsiders, Bai Luo entered the tent.
Judging from the situation inside, there should be a small team stationed here.
And judging from some daily necessities, they should still be carrying out tasks nearby.
But I'm not sure when I can come back.
After restoring the mechanism, Bai Luo did not stay here for long.
For him, it was not a good thing that his whereabouts were known by Liyue's Fatui.
As soon as possible
"Bang-"
The huge noise could be heard from far away in the deep pit-shaped mountain of Mingyun Town.
This also made Bai Luo alert at the first moment.
If he heard correctly... ... this should be the sound of the advance team's muskets.
"Anton! Be careful not to damage the structure of the mine."
The Thunder Hammer Vanguard pressed down the brim of his hat and spoke in a low voice.
Their advance team consisted of four people in total.
The captain is the Thunder Hammer Vanguard, and the members are the Rock Rangers, Fire Gun Rangers and Water Gun Heavy Guards.
Well... electric shock, evaporation, and shield are a relatively reasonable arrangement.
They came to this place purely because of a task from their superiors.
However, they did not expect that the difficulty of the mission was far beyond their team's expectations.
Last night, they noticed strange noises in a mine in Mingyun Town, so they rushed over overnight.
But apart from some hill people, nothing else was discovered.
Originally, they wanted to get rid of these Hillilians so as not to affect the progress of their mission later.
They never thought... ...the fighting power of these Hillichul people was somewhat beyond their expectations.
"Captain, something's wrong. These monsters are not in the right condition!"
Looking at the Hillilman who was emitting black gas, ignoring the gunshot wounds, and roaring madly towards them, they finally realized that something was wrong.
"Stand in formation!"
After a flash of lightning appeared on the heavy hammer in his hand, the captain looked at the Rock Envoy Guerrilla.
The latter nodded and inserted the staff in his hand into the ground.
“Buzz—”
After the rock element sank into the ground, a barrier completely protected the few people and isolated the crazy hillbillies outside the barrier.
Although this ability is useful, the Rock Runner that releases the barrier cannot move or attack.
Moreover, it is impossible to defend against attacks within the barrier.
All I can say is, Emperor YYDS!
"Demon remnants..."
Looking at the layer of black air on the Hillilks, the experienced Thunder Hammer Vanguard Army saw the problem at a glance.
These hillbillies were all affected by the remnants of the demon god and fell into a state of madness.
"Form a defensive formation, protect Boris, and try not to let these Hillilks get close to you!"
In fact, even the Hillichouls who were affected by the remnants of the Demon God were no match for the Fatui vanguard.
But the problem is the demon residue on their bodies. If they are contaminated with that stuff, they will have to be stripped of their status as advance troops and sent back to the Kingdom of Winter for treatment.
For the vanguard troops who left their homes to fight for honor.
This is a shame.
But they didn't notice that behind them, a huge Rock Shield Hillock Thug was approaching them.
It’s not that they were careless. When they came here, they didn’t see any other monsters along the way, so they naturally thought they were safe behind them.
What's more, the threat posed by the remnants of the demon god is extremely high. If we don't focus all our attention on these hillbillies, we will suffer a great loss.
"roar-"
The Hilliard Thug, who was obviously in a bad condition, raised the rock shield in his hand high and smashed it hard on the barrier.
“Pah—”
The barrier shattered with a sound, and the rock guerrilla soldier responsible for maintaining the barrier was attacked by the elements due to the sudden attack, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Oops! Boris, be careful!"
Chapter 495: Tartaglia's Traces
Although the Rock Guerrilla Soldier is a rock-type soldier, he is usually more durable.
But the backlash just now, coupled with the rock shield in the hands of the Hilliard thugs, is likely to cause the Rock Guerrilla Soldier to be half-crippled if not killed by this blow.
But considering the demon residue on the opponent, his fate
Deep purple electric light flashed on the body of the Thunder Hammer Vanguard. He rushed to the front of the Hilliard Thugs with the force of thunder, intending to block the attack for his teammates.
But he also knew very well that if he was hit, he would probably have to retire completely.
“Swoosh—”
At this critical moment, a two-handed sword as big as a door panel flew from behind the hill thug and penetrated into its lower back.
A pitch-black shadow appeared behind it like a ghost.
“Get out of the way!”
Reaching out and grabbing the exposed hilt of the Wolf's Abyss Spiral, Bai Luo pulled it out, then jumped high and hit it on the head.
In fact, for weapons like the two-handed greatsword, it is more appropriate to use slashing.
But when in Bai Luo's hands, this slapping method is more effective.
Even though he cannot inflict fatal damage to the enemy, after knocking the person down, isn't it him who has the final say on how to deal with the opponent
After knocking down the Hilliard thug, the Wolf's Sword of No Return in his hand shrank into a dagger.
Under his control, the pitch-black steel wire shuttled through the narrow mine, and in an instant surrounded the group of hillbillies who wanted to rush up.
The steel wire contracted, and dozens of hillbillies were tied together by the wire.
And this time, it also triggered a critical hit.
The lightning flashed along the steel wire in Bai Luo's hand and hit the tied-up Hilichurls. All the Hilichurls collapsed to the ground with wailing.
"Executive...Executive Officer!"
After Bai Luo stood still, the Thunder Hammer Vanguard saw the pale mask on his face and saluted excitedly.
He never expected to meet the executive officer here.
"Let's talk about it after we get out."
Looking at these Hilichurls who had lost their ability to move, Bai Luo signaled a few people to retreat first.
As for him, he also has to get rid of these hillbillies who are affected by the remnants of the demon.
More than ten minutes later, Bai Luo walked out of the mine.
"Why are you here?"
Looking at this team, Bai Luo asked.
The targets of the Fatui are usually people or things related to the Seven Rulings of the Earth. How could they appear in such an abandoned mine
"Sir, I am here to carry out my mission under orders."
After half-kneeling on the ground and paying their respects, the Thunder Hammer Vanguard Army explained the whole story.
It turned out that a convoy of Fatui passed by here some time ago, and a soldier accidentally fell behind.
Later, the soldier was attacked by a nearby treasure-stealing group and nearly died.
Fortunately, he was lucky enough to survive when he fell into a pool of water when he was thrown off the cliff by the treasure-stealing group.
But the things he was carrying were stolen by the treasure-stealing group.
To the Fatui, that lost mechanical bird is a confidential item and cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of the treasure-stealing group.
So their superiors sent them here to find the lost mechanical bird.
However, they interrogated all the members of the treasure-stealing group, but still found nothing.
Thinking that these treasure-stealing groups would hide the stolen goods in mines, they planned to search all the nearby mines.
"Mechanical bird..."
