Chapter 410 The Noisy Journey to the Abyss

The loud-voiced man moved extremely fast and quickly arrived at the front.

"Huh? This little thing looks so familiar. I think we have one in Inazuma too. I'm sure I've seen it before, no doubt about it."

The Araki Oni King, with a pair of red horns, stroked his chin, examining the small white hairs on his spear, and asked the person behind him, "Shinobu, come and take a look, is it the same breed?"

"Boss, the one at Inazuma's place should be the same one as the one here, right?"

A slender, green-haired woman wearing a mask walked over and corrected him.

"Ah Ren, what you said makes sense. But aren't you able to fly? What are you doing perched on this gun?"

Paimon couldn't stand this guy's nagging anymore, so he flew up and shouted in Xu Ning's direction, "Someone's causing trouble, I'm not acting anymore!"

Xu Ning emerged from his hiding place and looked at the self-proclaimed leader of the Desolate Waterfall Sect, asking, "How did you end up here?"

"Ha, it's that discerning brat who coveted my Eye of God. What are you doing here?"

Xu Ning's overall impression of the simple-minded and naive Araki Ichito was actually quite good.

"We're here to find someone, what about you?"

Araki Kazuto burst into laughter, "What a coincidence, it's us too! We're looking for someone with pink hair... um, I can't remember what they're called, a mage or something."

Shinobu, who was behind Araki Ichito, said, "It's a lawyer named Enhi, wearing red clothes. She shouldn't have gone very far."

Xu Ning shook his head after hearing this, "We've been delayed here for a while. If she were passing by, we would definitely have seen her. It seems you've taken the wrong road."

"However, I have a question for Miss Ren. It seems that this Rock Abyss has not been open to outsiders recently. I wonder how you managed to evade the checks of the Thousand Rock Army and the local miners and track people all the way here?"

The green-haired beauty, Ah Ren, calmly replied, "Things were rushed. We were afraid of losing our target, so we didn't have time to get a pass here. We'll get one after we leave."

Araki Kazuto scratched his head in annoyance and said, "Actually, it's all the fault of this road. That pink lawyer said he had to go down to the bottom to take care of something very important. I thought it was like a well, where you could just jump in and go all the way down. Who knew we would have to run around looking for a deep pit?"

Xu Ning immediately became interested upon hearing this, as he had already noticed that there was something wrong with the terrain here.

Originally, when the star fell and crashed here, it should have formed a well-like structure, just as Araki Ichito described.

But now, with the terrain twisted, the original deep pit has been divided into several sections, with one section at the entrance and another section in the inverted center of the city.

We still need to find out where the next section is, but at least these two can provide a general location.

"Did you see which direction Yanfei went?"

Ah Ren glanced at Xu Ning, took out a pointer from his pocket, looked at it, and pointed it to due north.

"They're heading in that direction."

Xu Ning pulled the spear out of the mud, shook it clean, and said, "We also need to go down into the pit to find someone, so let's go together."

"Oh ho ho, that's perfect! I thought running around in such an open space was a bit boring. It would be much more lively if everyone were together!"

Araki Ichito's statement is absolutely correct.

It was indeed much more lively when everyone was together, although he was the only one having fun most of the time, but he was completely unaware of it.

“I thought you were already quite talkative, but compared to him, you seem like a wise man who is sparing with words and keeps quiet.”

Xu Ning took a couple of sips of wine and smiled at Paimon, who was flying beside him.

Paimon glanced disdainfully at Arataki Ichito, who was walking ahead and laughing heartily. "Comparing me to this guy makes me feel hurt."

Xu Ning smiled and turned his gaze to the two strangers in front of him.

While in Inazuma, I didn't have much contact with these two, but I did get information about them from Kujo Sara.

Kujo Sara described Arataki as "noisy and stupid."

I could tell from the first glance that he was noisy; as for being stupid, I couldn't tell yet, but he was a bit simple-minded.

As for the one who introduced himself as Kuki Shinobu, who was known as the second-in-command of the Araki faction, Kujo Sara greatly admired him.

"With her talent and qualifications, it would be a waste for her to stay in that kind of gang."

Xu Ning could tell that the search for people at the bottom of this giant abyss was mainly led by Hisaki Shinobu.

It seems that Ah Ren is proficient in both tracing and geological exploration, and she basically leads the entire search process.

Of course, she would always give the decision-making power to her boss in the form of suggestions.

But looking at Araki Ichito's almost obedient manner, Xu Ning seemed to see Shinobu driving an oxcart named Ichito, moving back and forth underground.

However, Araki Ichito was not entirely useless on this journey. Xu Ning felt that although he was honest and straightforward and had no guile, he could often find the best option with great precision at key crossroads or dangerous rockfall areas by relying on his indescribable intuition.

"Perhaps this is what they mean by 'fools are lucky'!"

Xu Ning sighed. Although it seemed like they were just going around in circles on flat ground, Xu Ning could clearly feel that they were going deeper and deeper. After all, they had already encountered four thick rock layers that had been smashed through to form large holes.

"Hey, look over there!" Paimon suddenly exclaimed.

Even if Paimon hadn't pointed it out, everyone would have noticed that there was an unusually bright light coming from a deep pit ahead.

Seeing such a light in the almost completely dark depths of the earth, no matter what dangers lie ahead, anyone would be tempted to go and take a look.

Moreover, at the edge of that light, there stood a pink-haired girl in a red dress.

"My benefactor! I've finally found you! You're really fast."

Araki Ichito's shout clearly startled the girl in red.

The little girl turned around with a helpless expression.

"How did you manage to track us all the way here? Wow, and you brought so many people with you?"
