Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Guide

Chapter 465 Among the Ruins 2 (page 12)



Compared with the miraculous Red King's Tomb, the difficulty of deciphering this unknown ruins is acceptable.

With El here, they were moving very quickly.

Although being underground cannot judge the passage of time through the sun outside, several people present are very sensitive to time. The traveler can clearly notice that following El, the speed of deciphering is like following an adventure. The other adventurers in the family association share the same strategy.

——He didn't need to think, El could give the answer at a glance.

Traveler:!

Paimon followed behind and said, "Is this the feeling of not having to use your own brain? It's so happy hehe..."

El blinked: "If I remember correctly, travelers can also decrypt it, right?"

On the way here, in order to make the atmosphere less tense, the travelers talked about their previous experiences exploring the ruins.

Paimon scratched his head: "Although travelers can do it...but not so fast, we are always wrong. It is rare that we can see the answer at a glance like El!"

Hearing this, before Ir had time to answer anything, Seno said in a tone of "heroes think alike": "Ir is very smart and is a genius recognized by the Ecclesiarchy. Even though he comes from the Sheng Lun sect, She also has a lot of stuff from other schools of thought.”

I don’t know if it was Paimon’s misunderstanding, but it was obviously El that she was praising, but Seno acted like the proudest one.

The overall view of this underground ruins is much larger than imagined.

After passing through the long, narrow and dark passage at the beginning, all the environment suddenly became clear after descending through the hanging ladder.

It is estimated that this place is very deep underground. After descending and walking for a while, the faint light of the torch was suddenly reflected on the ground, and then caused a strong reflection.

There was a wet feeling on the soles of his feet. When he lowered his head, he saw that there was a lot of water on the ground, and the height was probably higher than El's calf.

The light of the torch was reflected by the floating water onto the yellow-brown color of the ceiling. For a moment, the space became much brighter.

"It's already very deep here." Seno bent down, stretched out his hand to wet it with some water, and after carefully checking it, he came to the conclusion, "Maybe we are about to find the missing person."

This water never sees the light of day all year round. If you stand in it, the water will not flow, but it will make you feel the biting cold.

Among the four people present, Il was in the worst shape.

Xeno and Traveler accepted it well. Paimon was flying and did not need to come into contact with water. Only El, a frail researcher who was ill and was about to recover, soon looked bad.

"We haven't found the next step yet, let's go back some distance." Sai Nuo said suddenly, "The water here is very cold."

El was startled, then looked at him, and suddenly understood why he said such things.

These words were recognized by the travelers, and they retreated a certain distance. At the exit where the hanging ladder originally descended, a few people used the light of torches to look at the stagnant water not far away that seemed to have turned into a dead end again and fell into deep thought.

In silent contemplation, Paimon couldn't help it anymore. She stamped her feet in the air: "So... those people are really good at running away!"

"There is no one in this piece of water. Could it be that they are all lurking in the water?" She looked at the piece of water and overturned her casual guess, "But the water was so deep that it reached the calves." , people can’t dive down!”

The little white flying object fell into a moment of indescribable distress.

The next moment, Il was awakened by Paimon's words and suddenly thought of something.

Her eyes lit up, and she looked at the distressed little flying object with her golden eyes, remembering some of the little mechanisms she had seen a long time ago.

"By the way... there is another possibility. This is not the deepest part yet!" Her tone suddenly became urgent. "Maybe there is a mechanism for drainage. Let's look for it..."

During that disgraceful memory, El fled for a long time and visited many ruins that were not yet called "ruins" at the time. The desert people who believe in the Red King rack their brains to create the most stunning mechanical creations in Sumeru to praise the Red King they believe in, and long for the gods to show even a moment of mercy.

This kind of ridiculous belief was once not understood by El, and to this day, she still feels that this kind of behavior is stupid.

But during that period of time when she was hunted down for so-called "transgression" defined by the gods, the stupid behavior of ordinary people gave her great convenience.

There are generally only a few types of these ruins mechanisms, and there are no complicated changes. Her brain works very fast, and she figured out how to escape after being trapped a few times.

Although she survived because of the devil's blessing, when she had a rare free time, she would go to the high platform where the desert people worshiped the Red King and openly took some tributes to taste.

Until one day, Hermanubis chased him.

That time she almost fell down. There was only one door in the ruins. She and Hermanubis entered there one after another. They had just picked up the rare tribute, and before they had time to take a second bite, they suddenly heard the sound of Hermanubis. The sound of Bisi's spear slashing across the ground.

The sharp metal scratched across the stone floor. Il had been listening to that sound for many years, and it almost formed a fatal conditioned reflex. She knew the mad dog was coming as soon as she heard the long, high-pitched bark.

It was only a matter of time before he was found.

El ran away in a panic, accidentally touched some mechanism, and stepped into the water that was submerged to his calves.

Unexpectedly, after stumbling and groping in the dark water, the water level dropped, and then a long gap suddenly opened in the ground. The two huge stone slabs that made up the ground suddenly moved to both sides, and she fell in. Literally fell into a river.

Then the ground of the ruins mechanism was sealed again. Standing directly below it, Il heard the sound of water being refilled.

"El, El...?"

Paimon pushed her arm, "What's next? What does that mechanism look like?"

El shook his head and thought based on the memory in his mind: "It should be a brick inlaid with diamond-shaped stone carvings..."

"Is it this one?"

Paimon's eyes lit up and he flew over and pressed it gently.

"and many more--"

The next moment, the water flow dropped, and then the ground moved unexpectedly to both sides, revealing the rushing river below.

When Paimon turned his head, Traveler, El, and Xeno were all gone.

Paimon:?

Paimon was confused for a moment, and then he noticed the sound of rushing water under his feet.

She lowered her head one by one.

Traveler, El, and Seno stood up from the rushing water in a very embarrassed manner. The three of them were all wet, like three unlucky guys who had been soaked in the pouring rain.

"Cough, cough, cough...!" El's face was white, and his golden eyes were full of subconscious fear.

The torch fell into the water and was completely extinguished.

Paimon:! ! !

She quickly flew down and said loudly with a particularly guilty look on her face: "Yes, I'm sorry!"

El waved his hand, hoping to leave quickly or for some light to appear: "It doesn't matter...cough cough cough!"
