Chapter 875 Abyss Monsters Gather
"If, as you say, their hair color, appearance, and clothing are extremely similar to Kong's, then the person you are looking for should also be the person we are looking for."
Paimon ate a bit too much and couldn't fly much anymore. He sat lazily next to Sora and told her about Sora having a younger sister.
"Huh? The savior I'm looking for is your sister?... Uh, you two siblings don't get along very well? It's alright, at least we can become partners, and if we search together, the chances of finding her should be much greater."
Kong looked down at Tyrell's feet. "Your feet are injured. Do you still want to continue searching?"
Tyrrell nodded firmly.
“I came out here because I absolutely have to find her. Our village is destined for annihilation, and only she can save us…”
"Your village..."
Just as Kong was about to ask a question, he suddenly stood up again, "More monsters are coming, and it seems there are quite a few of them."
Tyrell hurriedly got up to pick up the wooden stick, but Xu Ning stopped him with a smile.
"Don't work so hard if your foot is injured. We're here for you."
Xu Ning followed Kong out of the cave. On the other side of the hillside, a small team of Abyss Mages and Hilichurls were running hurriedly along the path.
Because of the terrain, they couldn't see the two people observing from above.
Kong glanced into the distance a few times. "There seem to be several Abyss squads in the distance. Judging from their direction of travel, they should be heading towards a certain location to gather. It seems that this is the enemy that Ianshan and the others are guarding against."
As soon as Kong finished speaking and jumped out, Xu Ning reached out and grabbed him by the back of his collar, pulling him back.
"Ahem, big brother?..."
Xu Ning released his grip, letting the reckless fellow straighten his collar. "Where are you going?"
“I promised Ianshan I'd patrol for them, to stop them from attacking the residential areas of the Land of Wolu…”
Xu Ning shook her head with amusement, "You can't stand not working for a day, can you?"
“Nata slew the Lord of Annihilation of the Abyss. Not only were all the warriors in the tribes battle-hardened, but they were also filled with unparalleled courage because of this great victory… If I were Ying, even if I had to go to war with Nata, I would never choose this worst time in history…”
"...But not only did she choose this time to start the battle, she also seems to be gathering all her forces, as if she wants to win in one fell swoop. Aren't you even a little curious about what she's planning to do?"
Sora seemed to have never even considered this question, and asked in surprise, "What does Ying want to do? Could it be... could it be that she, like Mavica, doesn't have much time left..."
"What nonsense are you making? Don't fight them. Let's just follow them quietly and we'll find out."
While the two were chatting animatedly, Tyrell behind them looked around blankly in the direction they were gazing.
"Um... what are you guys talking about, some kind of gathering of abyssal monsters... I don't think I saw anything..."
Xu Ning turned around, smiled broadly at Tyrell behind him, and extended his hand, "Would you like me to show you around?"
Tyrell hurriedly reached into her empty palm, "I...I saw it, so many monsters..."
Xu Ning felt a pang of regret. He had originally wanted to squeeze it hard to see what it felt like to touch it through something, as Paimon had described. He wondered if he could actually crush a hand bone through something.
While he was thinking, Kong had already settled Tyrell back in the cave, telling her to rest and recover and not to wander off, before following Xu Ning in the direction of the Abyss Order.
It must be said that the Abyss Order's choice of the Land of Worth as its rallying point was indeed the right one.
The six major tribes, including the Flower Feather Clan and the Suspended Wood People, are like a gathering place for birds and monkeys. You might accidentally be seen by someone who suddenly flies out or jumps out.
There are too many things that the smoker cannot see; he may have already bumped into something unseen without even realizing it.
The Echo Child likes to burrow underground, and you never know when one of its heads will suddenly pop out from a cliff or wall, exposing everything.
The crowds from the flowing spring should definitely not go there; the wine in the water hasn't been fully digested yet, and anyone who goes in will die.
The land of Wolu is a volcanic landscape, and many potentially dangerous areas are designated as danger zones with clear signs to prevent outsiders from getting lost and injured. Locals rarely go to these places either.
The Abyss Order chose a flat mountain hollow.
When the two saw what was inside from beside a secluded cliff, Kong couldn't help but gasp slightly.
"How can there be so many... Did Luminous gather the Abyss Order and all the Hilichurls here?"
"I think so, otherwise have you seen any other Abyss Order activities in other places recently?" Xu Ning asked casually, taking a sip of his drink.
Kong scratched his head. It seemed that after Brother Xu's Liyue pioneered the sealing of ley lines and the clearing of monsters, Mondstadt immediately followed suit and cooperated. The two countries were now peaceful and quiet, and monsters were basically nowhere to be seen.
With demons around Inazuma, it's hard to tolerate other demons beside one's bed. The only problem with human bandits seems to have been eradicated by that guy Teppei, and now it's quite peaceful.
The unique environments of Fontaine and Sumeru are not very suitable for the activities of the Abyss Order and Hilichurls, so it seems that apart from Nata, they really have nowhere else to go.
"Tsk tsk..." Xu Ning took a couple of sips, surveying the shape of the valley. "At this moment, if we were to throw down another Jade Pavilion... Boom!"
"With the entire cult and Hilichurls wiped out in the valley, Ying suddenly has no one left to rely on. If she's left as a lone commander, she probably won't be so fixated on her dream of restoring her kingdom, right?"
Kong glanced at the densely packed figures in the valley and couldn't help but admire Brother Xu's wild imagination. However, before he could even imagine the bizarre scene of Ying running to her brother for help in tears, he noticed that something was wrong in the valley.
The valley was unusually quiet.
Although Hilichurls are generally quiet except when facing enemies, the fact that so many Hilichurls, thugs, rangers, and kings gathered together, along with countless Abyss Shamans and some Deep Sin Baptists who had evolved into high-level mages, resulted in such a large mix of people that not a single sound was made.
However, upon closer inspection, he discovered that almost everyone who entered the valley, regardless of their status, would quickly find an empty seat, sit down cross-legged, and instantly enter a meditative state.
However, if that's all there is to it, it's not really unusual, since it could be some kind of mysterious ritual being performed by the cult.
What was truly bizarre was that a purplish-black figure suddenly rushed into the valley, moving with lightning speed, his sword moving with almost no resistance, killing anyone he encountered.
But the Hilichurls sitting cross-legged on the ground and the Abyss Mages offered almost no resistance, allowing him to roam freely.
