Chapter 87 Black Snake Knight Halfdan!

【Chapter 2, Act 4, Traveler: Requiem of the Echoing Abyss [Begin comparison]!

Video starts.

A golden light streaked across the sky like a meteor.

As the golden light approached the ground, a strong wind blew up, lifting the golden light and slowly landing on the ground, blowing away the dust around it.

Lin Chen raised his hand and the spear filled with golden light fell into his hand and disappeared. Then, he took out the map of the Layered Abyss from his arms.

Paimon held the flying sword and smoothed his messy hair with his little hand before leaning over to look.

“”This map of the Abyss looks like a view of the storm from the sky.” Paimon said.

The Abyss on the map is indeed as she said.

The Eye of the Storm is the center of the surface of the Abyss, and you can go to the underground mining area through it.

“According to the intelligence, we can just go in directly.”

Lin Chen stretched out his hand and pointed at the center. After putting away the map, he looked forward and said,”This mining area is really big.”

Standing at this high point, you can’t see the end at a glance.

It’s as if the whole earth has turned into a mine.

“It’s really big, and there seems to be more underground.”Paimon said

“Let’s go.”

Lin Chen reached out and took Paimeng into his arms, and instantly turned into a flash of lightning that shuttled between the rocks.

Not long after.

Looking at the cave entrance with a diameter of several hundred meters, Lin Chen observed for a moment before saying:”The light below is very weak, be careful”

“I know.”Paimeng nodded heavily.

Then, she was held by Lin Chen and jumped down.

Lin Chen would not fall directly into the ground. There were many places to land on the edge of the cliff, which was like a big hole.

Going down slowly, the eyes were gradually adapting to this environment.

Soon, Lin Chen and Paimeng had safely arrived at the underground mining area.

“hiss……”

Paimeng took a deep breath as he looked at the endless underground mining area around him.

The light in this underground area was poor and it was hard to see far, but the huge underground mining area was shocking.

It was as if generations of Liyue people had dug through this place!

“We just came down, did we calculate the distance?” Paimeng turned his head and looked at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen, who was observing the surroundings, replied casually:”The vertical distance is about three kilometers.”

“Good Guy……”

Paimeng was surprised and said,”It’s so deep. If we keep digging, we might end up in the center of the earth.”

Lin Chen didn’t say anything. He was staring at a ball of black mud not far away.

“Is this the pollution under the abyss?”

Standing beside the black mud, Lin Chen squatted down, with golden light emerging from his palm to illuminate and observe the black mud.

Paimeng also came over to see what he said.

“Hmm… it’s a bit purple, this black purple doesn’t look good… Also, there are bubbles coming out of the black mud, do you think they are coming out from underground?” Paimon guessed.

“Not sure.”

Lin Chen shook his head,”Step back a little, and pay attention to the changes around you.”

After stepping back a little, the golden light in Lin Chen’s hand became stronger.

A thick golden light rushed towards the black mud like a torrent, and the powerful elemental force instantly washed away the black mud.

Paimeng half-squinted his eyes and observed the surroundings. After a moment, he said:”Nothing has changed.”

“Be careful, it can’t be that simple.”

Lin Chen shook his head.

It’s easy to clean up the black mud, but if it was that simple, the abyss wouldn’t be blocked.

Buzz – ripples suddenly appeared in the space beside him like the surface of water.

The spear appeared in his hand, Lin Chen looked cold, raised the spear, and the tip of the spear landed on the neck of the figure.

“This is… Dainsleb?”

Paimon showed a surprised look, and asked in amazement:”How did you appear here?”

Dainsleb looked at the tip of the gun beside his neck, shook his head and said:”It should be that I was affected by the powerful elemental force fluctuations just now during the transmission process, which caused me to appear here.”

Lin Chen slowly retracted the spear and said:”You are so elusive, I almost hit you”

“This is out of my control.” Dainsleb shook his head.

“Are you chasing the Abyss Apostle?” Lin Chen asked

“That’s right.” Dainsleb did not hide it. He said,”After I cornered that guy, he used his old tricks again. I followed him through the portal.”

“Although the abnormal elemental force caused the error in the teleportation location, I am afraid that if it weren’t for your accident, I would probably end up in the wrong place.”

“”Speaking of which, where is this place?” Dainsleib asked.

Paimon looked at Lin Chen, and Lin Chen said calmly:”Below the Layered Abyss”

“A place I have never been to…” Dainsleb pondered, and then said:”Now let me tell you a piece of news. Through some recent experiences, I can infer that the Abyss controls the teleportation ability. It is not just point-to-point, but a network structure… Judging from my current situation in the Stratum Abyss, the network of teleportation points controlled by the Abyss may include many places.”

“It sounds like a teleportation anchor point. Paimon thought thoughtfully.

“Anyway, last time I followed your blood relatives into the portal, and when I looked around, I found myself alone in the lair of the East Wind Dragon.”

“Speaking of that place, how is the eye of the first tiller doing?” Paimon asked

“I have made arrangements. Before we figure out the true nature of the so-called Loom of Destiny plan, there is no need to worry about it falling into the hands of the Abyss.” Dainsreb motioned for her to rest assured.

Then, Dainsreb looked at Lin Chen, and after a long time, he said:”You have the breath of the Abyss on you. Have you joined the Abyss Cult?”

“If I joined the Abyss Cult, I wouldn’t be able to talk to you right now.��”

Lin Chen said calmly:”It’s time to reintroduce yourself, the Sword of Last Light.”

Dainsleb was silent for a moment before answering:”It’s not that I intentionally concealed it. This name once bathed in the glory of Kanreya, but now… it’s more like a mockery, a curse.”

“As the captain of the palace guard who witnessed the fall of my own country, I think I have reason not to mention this name again.”

“There is something I am curious about.” Lin Chen’s eyes fell on Dainsreb’s neck,”Why do you always oppose Ayin?”

Dainsreb said frankly:”We were travel companions.”

“Huh? Is it similar to the relationship between me and Lin Chen?” Paimeng was a little surprised.

“It was almost like that. It was a journey of searching for destiny with pain in our arms, but… we didn’t reach the end together.”Dainsleb had a complicated look on his face.

“I hate yellow hair more.” Lin Chen narrowed his eyes.

“Don’t get me wrong.”

Dainsleb said calmly,”We are just friends. In the end, we parted ways just because of different ideas, which led to the current confrontation.”

“That’s right.” Lin Chen nodded,”You’re not the type that A Yin would like.”

Dainsleib was silent for a moment and said,”I didn’t expect you to care about Lin Yin’s feelings, but now is not the time to talk about this. What I want to say is that since the Abyss Cult has set up a transmission node here, then in the eyes of the Abyss Cult, this place is valuable, and we are very likely being watched by the Abyss at this moment.”

Paimeng, who has always been timid, said calmly,”So what? There is also the eldest master of the Abyss here!”

“Indeed.”

Lin Chen shrugged and said,”You are the only one who should be alert.”

Dainsreb was silent.

“Meeting is fate, let’s go, I’m also here to investigate the Layered Rock Abyss, why not go together for a while.”Lin Chen said with a smile

“Are you afraid that I will ruin your sister’s plan again?” Dainsleb sneered.

“About half.”

Lin Chen did not comment and walked forward first,”Follow me, the intelligence says that the state of the hill people is not right, you should pay more attention to them”

“It’s a reason that is hard to refuse.”Dynesreb followed.

Not long after, the three of them came to a place.

“An upside-down city?”

Paimon looked at the city that seemed to be turned upside down above his head with a look of astonishment,”Looking at this, I suddenly remembered the inverted statue of filth… Could it be the work of Sister Lin Yin again?”

Lin Chen looked at Dainsreb.

Dainsreb shook his head:”I’m not sure yet, but there is indeed something unusual here.……”

Without waiting for the two to speak, he explained:”It is understandable that you cannot detect the abnormality, because you are not cursed and cannot feel that the environment here is weakening the effect of the curse.” (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Lin Chen and Paimon did not speak. They all knew that Dainsleb, as a citizen of Kanria, was cursed with immortality.

“For hundreds of years, the pain brought by the curse still haunts me every day, but when I come here, my body feels like it has found a moment of respite.”

“At this moment, my body is also expressing a strong desire to me, that is – to stay.”

Lin Chen frowned as he looked at the increasing number of hillbillies and said,”According to what you said, these hillbillies……”

“Um”[]

Dainsleb nodded and said,”Do you know why the hillbillies wear masks? It’s because they are avoiding their current appearance and are afraid of the reflection in the water… After all, compared with their memories, it is too ugly and too desperate.”

The curse of immortality is not truly permanent immortality, but under the effect of wear and tear, the soul and body will still be worn out, even if it is not in the form of death.

When the hillbillies realize that the end of themselves is coming, they will instinctively look for a quiet and dark corner to say goodbye to the pain of hundreds of years.

And this place that can weaken the curse is the best coffin for them.

【[Kaeya]: Wear and tear is really terrible. Brother Wenjie deleted the concept of wear and tear later. Was it also due to this consideration?

【[Wendy]: Undead curse and wear and tear…Alas

【Zhongli: Wear and tear is a curse imposed on all living things by the laws of nature. It is difficult for humans to perceive, but as gods, they have the most profound experience.

【Liuyunjiefeng Zhenjun]: Alas, even the former Ruotu Dragon King has suffered from wear and tear.

【[Rādhāraṇa]: Ah? Am I worn out? (Scratching his head)

【Osel: Wear and tear can take many forms, the most common of which is memory forgetting and then being distorted… Just like, I remember that King Rodra and Morax were good friends…

【[Lord Rudra]: Morax and I are good friends? Impossible, there is no such possibility!

【Bennett: Ah, the hillbillies we usually kill are actually humans.……

【El Haisen: You can sympathize with their plight, but when they create trouble, you still have to take action. Excessive sympathy will only cause yourself losses.

【Zhongli: From a universal point of view, it is true

……

Not long after walking,

Lin Chen stopped.

A spear appeared in his hand, and he threw it without saying anything.

Boom!

In the darkness, the spear pierced through the monster’s shoulder and nailed it to the rock wall, making it unable to move.

“Black Snake Knight?!”

Dynesreb was stunned

“Do you know it?” Lin Chen frowned,”It was just about to attack us.”

“They used to be part of the Kanreya Palace Guard, but now they have a strong curse aura and are preparing for a sneak attack without honor.……”Dainsleib shook his head with a complicated look.

“Is it already a minion of the abyss?” Paimon guessed.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen retracted his spear and let the injured Black Snake Knight fall to the ground.

Seeing that it was still struggling to pick up the weapon, Lin Chen shook his head helplessly, threw the seriously injured one aside and said,”Is there another one?”

In front.

A Black Snake Knight was watching Dainsleb

“This seems a little different?”Paimon thought.

The Black Snake Knight did not move, but just stared at Dainsleb.

Lightning flashed.

Lin Chenshujian appeared behind him.

“Wait a minute!”

Dainsleb raised his hand to stop him,”He seems to… retain his self-awareness!”

“Oh?”

The fist that was about to hit the Black Snake Knight’s back slowly stopped.

Lin Chen raised his hand and put it on his shoulder.

He did not resist, and there seemed to be a complex and inexplicable emotion on his body.

“Really?”

Lin Chen said in surprise,”It seems that he recognized you, the captain of the palace guard.”

Dainsleb was a little unbelievable,”This kind of miracle shouldn’t have happened.”

“Who knows?”

Lin Chen shook his head and said,”There is a secret method. He may suffer some pain, but he can get the information he wants. If it works, he can live. If it doesn’t work… he will die. What do you choose?”

Dainsleb fell into silence for a long time.”He is a knight of glory.”

“Are you trying to say that the power of the abyss will tarnish this honor?”

Lin Chen sneered and said,”The glory is a thing of the past. Now he is a member of the monsters. Saving him while he is still conscious and obtaining the information we want is just using some power that you hate. Is your hatred for the abyss enough to make you abandon your former comrades?”

Dainsreb shook his head:”Not really, it’s just… forget it, just do it.”

Dainsreb didn’t need to say anything, Lin Chen was already doing it.

Lightning flashed, and the visible lightning trapped the Black Snake Knight like a chain, unable to move at all.

Infinite power of the abyss poured into his body.

The silent Black Snake Knight finally roared, and the pain in his voice made Dainsreb close his eyes and turn his back.

After a long time.

The power of the abyss was extracted by Lin Chen.

The Black Snake Knight half-knelt on the ground in pain.

Dainsreb was silent for a long time before saying:”This… is not the power controlled by the Abyss Cult, right?”

“It is the power of the abyss, but the method is not the abyss’s.”Lin Chen said calmly,”Okay, it’s time to ask for some information.”

“What’s your name?”

Lin Chen’s eyes fell on the Black Snake Knight.

“”Ha… Halfdan.”

The Black Snake Knight’s voice was a little weak, and there was still fear in it.

“Halfdan?”

Dainsleb was stunned

“Lord Dainsleb, the Sword of the Last Light… I have failed you and failed to protect the people.”Halfdan said ashamedly

“No, I can see that you have fulfilled your responsibilities in the past five hundred years. You are still protecting them, right?”Dainsley preached.

He already understood why the Black Snake Knight appeared here.

It was to protect those hill people!

“I ask you, was this place arranged by the Abyss Cult?” Lin Chen asked.

Halfdan shook his head and nodded.

“What do you mean?” Paimon was puzzled.

“His memory is probably a little confused.”It’s a miracle that he can maintain his self-awareness… and here, the ruins themselves are probably not the work of the Abyss Cult, but���There must be traces of the Abyss Cult there!”

“Is that so?”

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows and said,”In that case, lead the way.”

Halfdan slowly stood up and led the three people deeper step by step.

He and the other Black Snake Knights were not guarding the secrets of the Abyss Cult, but the Hilichurls whose souls had aged.

Under Halfdan’s guidance, everyone came to the center of the top floor. There was an inverted pool in the room. When approaching here, Dainsleb felt peaceful.

In addition to the pool, there was also a device that was out of tune with this place!
