Chapter 242 The Escaped Abyss Monster
Chapter 242 The Escaped Abyss Monster
“Zhongli is right.”
The Great Compassion Tree King nodded in deep agreement with Zhongli's words.
"Then why don't we just eradicate the Abyss forces here?"
Mentioning the abyss, King Rota couldn't help but ask another question.
Through his senses, he could get a general idea of what was happening inside the giant rock abyss.
He discovered that there were no powerful monsters here, and it was only a matter of time before the monsters of this world were eliminated.
Zhongli shook his head once again at Ruotu Dragon King's naive remarks.
"This is very difficult and involves too many factors, so it's not easy to do."
"This place is a natural breeding ground for monsters, and the Abyss will not give up on this place."
"We don't need to go to such extremes before we start the war with the Abyss."
Upon hearing this, King Ruoduo pondered for a moment and felt that Zhongli's words made sense.
...
“We’ve arrived. That’s the center of the ‘Nameless Ruins,’ the most polluted part of the lower mining area.”
Before them was a large pit covered with dark purple veins, and the pit's sides and top were covered with countless dark purple stones.
Countless monsters roam this place; if an ordinary person saw this scene, they would probably be trembling with fear.
However, none of the people present were ordinary; any one of them could solo the "Nameless Ruins."
"Wow, this place is really scary."
Wendy gasped and let out a sigh.
Although he said it was terrifying, his interested look betrayed him.
"It's a bit scary, but it's more spectacular than scary."
"So many monsters, including several Abyss Apostles, that's something you rarely see in the outside world."
Shiraki also shared his own insights.
He rummaged in his pockets a few times, then instructed the people around him:
“You all step back a bit, don’t scare them away, I need to take some photos to commemorate this.”
Bai Mu waved to the crowd, signaling them to step back.
He then took out his camera and snapped a few pictures of the monster below.
After finishing, Shiraki hovered the phonograph in front of him and waved to the crowd.
"I reckon there won't be so many monsters gathering here after today. Let's take a picture together as a souvenir."
The crowd didn't understand Bai Mu's mentality, but it was just about taking a picture together, so they didn't refuse.
The group gathered together. Ying stood beside the Great Tree King, while Bai Mu stood behind her, his hands on her shoulders, and he stood on tiptoe to place his head on top of hers.
Zhongli stood behind Ying and next to Baimu. Ruotu Dragon King transformed into a palm-sized "fat lump" and lay on top of Zhongli's head.
Wendy sat cross-legged at the front without any regard for her image, staring at the camera with a silly grin.

"Click."
...
After a few consecutive clicks of the shutter, Shiraki went over to check the image on the phonograph and then nodded in satisfaction.
Because his phonograph was specially made, it could print out the photos immediately after they were taken.
Shiraki distributed one of the developed photos to everyone present.
It was clear that everyone was in a very good mood after receiving the photos.
Even Ying, who always has a blank expression, smiled after seeing the photo.
"Come on, go down and have a look."
After putting the phonograph back into their pockets, Shiraki and his group headed towards the bottom of the pit.
The monsters at the bottom of the pit looked over warily when they saw living people approaching.
Some Hilichurls and Beast Hounds launched an attack directly on Shiraki and his companions.
The abyssal apostles and abyssal mages behind the monster did not make a move easily. They stared intently at the group, a hint of fear in their eyes.
Seeing the monsters charging towards them, Ying simply waved his hand, and the monsters instantly vanished into the lightning.
With a wave of his hand, he brushed away the non-existent ashes in front of him, and looked at the center of the pit. He suddenly froze.
What happened to those Abyss Apostles and mages?
Looking at the empty central area, Shiraki didn't think too much about it.
He felt that the disappearance of those monsters was a good thing.
At least they won't have to go through another "fierce battle" later.
Hovering in mid-air, Bai Mu stretched out his left hand, and the "core" flew out from his left palm, hovering in the very center of the "nameless ruins".
......
The Giant Rock Abyss, somewhere in an underground mining area.
“kin ku kin ku”
"ka ka?"
Royal Translator:
"Why would those gods come here? And so many of them at once?"
An abyss apostle patted its chest, still shaken, thankful to have escaped with its life.
"Watch your words, brother. How can you talk about that kind of being in such a tone?"
Upon hearing the words of the abyss apostle, an ice abyss mage suddenly covered its mouth in terror.
Back then, a member of the same clan who served the prince died an unjust death simply because he said a few extra words.
Even the prince's personal guards, those of high status and position, could die a violent death because of a single blasphemous remark.
People of low status like them could easily be killed if that Abyss Apostle uttered a single disrespectful word.
The abyss apostle whose mouth was covered seemed to realize something, and it hurriedly closed its mouth, saying nothing more.
"What should we do next? Is it possible to get back there?"
The Abyss Apostle, whose mouth had just been covered, spoke up and asked the Ice Abyss Mage.
While the Abyss Apostles are strong in combat, the Abyss Mages are more strategic in terms of intelligence.
Therefore, the Abyss Apostles do not use their own brains on certain issues.
"You don't have to worry about that."
The Ice Abyss Mage thought for a moment and explained:
“That place is of no use to them. They are probably just coming to take a look, not to occupy it.”
Hearing what the Ice Abyss Mage said, the other Abyss Apostles and mages were temporarily relieved.
Since this ice mage was the smartest among them, they trusted his words implicitly.
...
Returning to the "Nameless Ruins," just as the Ice Mage had predicted, Shiroki and his group had already left.
Seeing that the gods were not there, the fleeing demons breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as they were about to go back, the ice mage stopped them.
The Ice Mage stared at the dark red bead floating in the sky, pointed to a few Hilichurls nearby, and said hesitantly:
"Wait a minute, I feel there's some danger there, we should send them to scout ahead first."
