Chapter Three Hundred and Fifty Three: The Leyline
"I don't know the specifics, but it's just very dangerous."
Xingqiu sat on a stone: "According to the data we have been able to collect in the past, even if the earth veins are too heavily silted, there will only be a phenomenon called 'earth vein shifting'."
"But when I took out these data from home and showed them to Mr. Zhongli, he said that the problem this time was not a simple movement of earth veins, but an explosion."
Gu Sanqiu rolled his eyes: "You didn't ask for any details? What's the use of knowing a name?"
"The detail is that when the power of the earth veins washed into the siltation point, it did not clear it. Instead, it increased the degree of siltation, and an explosion occurred when the number gradually increased."
"What's the harm? Even you have this level of scars."
Xingqiu explained: "You also know that underground power will permeate the ground at the siltation point of the earth's veins. Even a skilled adventurer cannot stay in that area for long."
Gu Sanqiu nodded. He still knew this. Some mysterious substances would appear in the locations where the earth veins accumulate. To put it in a general way, it was the power in the earth veins.
Usually there is a "core" at the siltation point of the ley lines, which is the main cause of the siltation of the ley lines. The principle is more like the sewers extending in all directions are suddenly blocked by something.
Taking out this core is the best way to clear the earth's veins. Through the transformation ability of alchemy, the core of the earth's siltation can often be transformed into something valuable.
Some of them are simply a large pile of golden raw ore, which can be sent to the gold house to get the same amount of mora reward. Others are weird and weird things, including power-enhancing props or spiritual plants, as well as tattered and useless weapons.
The migration of earth veins means that the scale of the siltation core is far beyond ordinary, causing a large-scale blockage in a short period of time. Generally speaking, a large harvest can be achieved.
Of course, the Adventurers Association has encountered the phenomenon of Earth Vein Shifting, but after all the hard work, the core of siltation has mysteriously dissipated. Generally, the adventurers' blood pressure rises and they shut down on the spot.
The power of the earth's veins permeates the ground. This is not a good thing that can be lifted up in one sip. It is a power that makes it easy for ordinary people to reach bliss early after staying in it for a long time.
Only those who can use elemental power, or hold alchemical creations forged by elemental power, can avoid being invaded by the power of earth veins for a certain period of time.
The power of earth veins has basically been negatively evaluated in various records, but in fact this is not the case. It is just that no one can easily withstand this power.
According to legend, earth veins record all information in this world. Generally speaking, they are one of the most conspicuous supreme laws.
Let alone ordinary people, even if they are owners of elemental power, most people's cultivation cannot withstand the power of laws entering their bodies.
The explosion of earth veins mentioned by the old man is a phenomenon that is more massive than the migration of earth veins. There should be some reasons.
Gu Sanqiu thought thoughtfully. The siltation of the earth veins was a good explanation, but he had never heard of the earth vein explosion. It couldn't be that Uncle Ruo Tuo went to sleep somewhere and then blocked the earth vein channels.
The seal of Fulongshu... If I remember correctly, there should be no such thing as a backdoor.
According to the old man's character and the laws of the throne, no matter how much he wanted to kill the general with tears, he would not mess around with this kind of thing.
Xingqiu waved his hand in front of Gu Sanqiu.
"Hey, hey, I've come to my senses. What are you thinking about?"
"I'm wondering whether you encountered a natural disaster or a man-made disaster."
"It must be the sum of the two, otherwise how could he be beaten so badly."
Xingqiu took out a broken sword and showed it to Gu Sanqiu: "Did you see that the weapons you strengthened for me have been chopped off? You can imagine how outrageous the enemies we encountered were."
Natural disasters refer to the fact that the monsters under the earth's veins also have a demand for siltation cores. Usually, both the ground and the underground will fight for the siltation cores.
Gu Yuan
From the perspective of the creatures on the ground, monsters are so-called natural disasters, and the power of the earth's veins sometimes uses the power of the earth's veins to transform into the appearance of some creatures to fight against the intruders. It can also be regarded as the "protector" who protects the spiritual creatures.
"Spiritual Beast".
As for man-made disasters, it is easier to explain. They are some treasure-thief gangs and the like who are taking advantage of others.
Leyline siltation occurs frequently on the land of Teyvat, and the time and place are not fixed at all. Even the General Affairs Department of Liyue does not have the ability to record it, which gives those outside the law an opportunity to take advantage of it.
"If I remember correctly, I told you not to use your own weapons to look at the shields of the rock shield thugs. You wouldn't really do such a thing, would you?"
Xingqiu shook his head: "Do you think I'm stupid? I've met a master. There is an abyss mage who can use body-strengthening elemental skills."
"With his blessing, even an ordinary Qiuqiu man would need some strength to defeat him, not to mention having to be wary of elemental attacks from other enemies."
The corner of Xingqiu's mouth twitched, and then he looked at Gu Sanqiu with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Hey, Sanqiu, do me a favor and ask the General Affairs Department if there is any policy to deal with those people who want to take advantage of others. On behalf of the experts, I will offer a big price and unconditional sponsorship."
Gu Sanqiu was silent, and then looked at Wu Yuminglei beside him.
"Ming Lei, what has this boy Xingqiu experienced?"
"Oh, actually it's nothing, but I guess it's just a bit frustrating."
Wu Yuminglei laughed twice: "When we dealt with a wave of monster invasion, thirty or forty element bottles containing different elements suddenly flew over from a distance and showered him directly."
"If Mr. Dadalia hadn't reacted faster, I guess Xingqiu's weapon wouldn't have been as simple as being weakened by corrosion."
...
Thirty or forty element bottles, are they the weird pharmacists of the treasure stealing group?
Well, seeing this kind of thing head-on is really annoying. Xingqiu acted very calmly by not losing his mind and rushing towards him on the spot.
"Well, the guys from the Treasure Thieving Group have invested so much manpower and material resources. It seems that there is indeed something to this leyline explosion."
Gu Sanqiu looked at Yaya: "What about you, if it was just for exploring the earth's veins, you would have gone with your men. Why are you hanging out with our group now?"
"Who knows, but actually we fools are not very interested in this matter."
Yaya spread his hands: "This is your matter in Liyue. What does it have to do with our envoy?"
Gu Sanqiu narrowed his eyes: "It seems to make sense, but it seems that you have given yourself the weight of suspicion. If you are not interested, why do you want to get involved in a private capacity?"
"Because it's fun."
Yaya looked at Gu Sanqiu with a smile: "An event that can make everyone here very vigilant should be very interesting. Maybe I can meet an enemy that I am interested in?"
"Is it just for fun..."
Gu Sanqiu smiled, but had no intention of exposing Yaya.
If the guy Yaya said the reason was "wanting to fight", maybe he would really believe it.
But if the stated reason is "fun," then there's probably something fishy about it.
