Looking at Paimon and Kunjun beside her, Ying realized the key point in Qiu Nian's words.
"It really does look alike..."
Paimon and Kun both nodded upon hearing this.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian feigned a puzzled expression.
"Here's the thing."
Paimon looked at Qiu Nian in front of him and explained the whole story.
"I see."
“Besides the Thousand Rock Army that disappeared ten days ago, there are also miners who have gone missing, and even their symptoms when they fell into a coma are so similar.”
Upon hearing this, Qiu Nian rested her chin on one hand, revealing a somewhat surprised expression.
Chapter 126 The Strange Tunnel
"Does Qiu Nian also think this is too much of a coincidence?"
Paimon, with his hands behind his back, asked Qiu Nian.
"This is indeed too much of a coincidence."
"In that case, I'll help too, since it's a matter of life and death."
"I'll go over there to help Mr. Zhongli. You guys stay here and investigate."
Qiu Nian looked at Ying and Paimon in front of her and nodded slightly.
After saying that, Qiu Nian walked towards the direction where Zhong Li was.
The two old guys are getting together again.
No, I just always feel like there's something suspicious about them all together (covers face)
This is not your imagination.
"Then let's investigate quickly!"
Seeing this, Ying and Paimon exchanged a knowing smile.
After investigating for a while, Ying and Paimon, having found nothing, came to Kunjun's side.
"Xiao Kun, have you seen anything worth investigating?"
Paimon looked at Kunjun beside him and asked.
There is only one stone tablet.
Kunjun looked at the stone tablet in front of him and replied.
"It doesn't sound very useful."
"I'll go look around somewhere else."
Feeling it was pointless, Paimon flew off to the other side.
"Well, it's better than nothing, let's take a look."
Kunjun sighed upon hearing this.
Then, he used his special ability to probe the stone tablet.
"...!"
"This is..."
Kun Jun's eyes widened in an instant, and he took several deep breaths.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
Paimon returned to Ying's side, looked at the strange Kunjun, and asked with concern.
"Huff...huff...I was just a little dizzy."
"It's okay, it's all better now."
Kunjun looked at Ying and Paimon in front of him, took a few breaths, and then spread his hands to explain.
Ying looked surprised when she heard Kunjun's words.
Because she could clearly sense that Kunjun's tone of voice was different.
His voice became lower and his tone changed noticeably.
You can even sense a hint of the demeanor of someone in a superior position.
Did something happen in that split second?
"What's wrong with Xiao Kun?"
"It's like they've discovered something incredible."
Snowflakes were equally puzzled by this scene.
His tone changed too.
"If fate allows, we will meet again someday." These words from the story PV are definitely what Kun Jun said.
Indeed, I was a little unsure just now, but now I'm really sure (covers face)
[Little Kun, you're not someone to be underestimated.]
"Did you find anything?"
Ying looked at Kun Jun in front of her and frowned slightly.
"Not yet... um, not yet."
Upon hearing this, Kun Jun crossed his arms and explained to Ying Mei.
"There's no other way, traveler. I'll go over there and look again. Why don't you climb up the tree and take a look?"
Seeing this, Paimon helplessly suggested to Ying beside him.
Are you sure there are clues in the tree?
Ying stood with her hands on her hips, looking at Paimon beside her with a disdainful expression, and asked.
How will you know if you don't try?
"Besides, you can also climb up to get a better view!"
Paimon also put his hands on his hips and said to Ying beside him.
"Um..."
"Ah! Is that so?"
Just a moment ago, Kunjun was deep in thought, but after hearing Paimon's words, he showed a surprised expression.
"Yes, yes, my ideas are always pretty good."
"Wait, I can fly!"
"Oh, I'll go then. You guys wait here."
After Paimon finished speaking, he headed towards the Furry Tree.
"Everyone, come this way!"
But just then, Zhongli's voice came over.
Meanwhile, on Qiu Nian's and Zhong Li's side...
"Hmm... I can make that conclusion now."
“This matter is related to Ruoda.”
Zhongli looked down at the tunnel below and sighed.
"Those Thousand Rock Army soldiers chased us all the way from Liyue Harbor to the vicinity of Tianqiu Valley."
"After their fruitless search, they ate some wild fruit and decided to return."
"And at that moment, their consciousness was controlled by Roda."
"They were just mortals after all, and they walked for several days and nights without eating or drinking all the way from Tianqiu Valley."
"He eventually exhausted himself near the South Heavenly Gate and fell unconscious."
Qiu Nian looked at Zhong Li beside her and slowly began to explain.
"With his abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for him to do these things."
"But if he has really awakened, the current seal should not be able to hold him for so long."
Zhong Li rested one hand on his chin, feeling somewhat surprised.
“If Kunjun’s consciousness is Ruoduo.”
"And the entity that occupies those Thousand Rock Army soldiers and miners is also Roda..."
"perhaps..."
Zhongli looked at Qiu Nian beside him, as if he had guessed something.
"These are not the things we need to consider now. If Ruoduo really awakens completely and breaks free from the seal, that would be the case."
"Then this is quite a disaster for Liyue."
Qiu Nian looked at Zhong Li beside her and shook her head slightly.
"If Ruoda truly awakens completely and breaks the seal."
"With our combined efforts, he shouldn't be able to cause the same level of destruction as he did a thousand years ago."
Zhongli turned his head, looked at the newly dug tunnel below, and spoke.
At this moment, faint clanging sounds could still be heard from the tunnel below.
"It seems you've automatically included me as part of Liyue."
Qiu Nian found Zhong Li's words somewhat amusing and said...
