The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 356 Before the Final Battle (3)

They took the elevator all the way to the underground of Xumi City. Strange noises kept coming into the ears of Ruojin and the others from the bottom of the elevator. Hearing the noises, Paimon, who had often had to fly down because the elevator broke down in mid-air during adventures with Ying, looked at the elevator under their feet nervously. However, since she was not a professional in repairing elevators, Paimon could not figure out what was going on and had to ask Nashida.

"Nashida, this sound couldn't have come from this elevator, could it? Could this elevator really have broken down in mid-air?"

"Well, judging from the sound made when the elevator in the void broke down, it shouldn't be the case."

Nashida thought for a while and slowly shook her head. She had just checked in the void. When the elevator breaks down, it should make an ahhhhh sound, not this kind of sound.

"That's good, that's good. As long as the elevator isn't broken, it's good. But where does this noise come from?"

Just as Paimon was wondering about the source of the sound, the elevator's descent speed began to slowly decrease, and then stopped steadily. Then, as if to tell everyone that they had reached their destination, the elevator made a sound.

Seeing that the elevator stopped, Ruo Jin and his companions did not hesitate and took the wrong elevator. When they got off the elevator, they saw a scene that was completely different from that of Xumi City. After Paimeng got off the elevator and saw the scene outside, she immediately knew where the noises came from.

This underground area, which is who knows how many meters below the ground, has been hollowed out at some point in time. Thick walls made of various solid materials have been built in the excavated space. The walls are covered with huge pipes whose functions are unknown. In the places where the pipes are connected, there are relays that are constantly making noises. It seems that these machines are still running, and the sound heard in the elevator is made by these machines.

"It's incredible that the underground of Xumi City is like this."

Looking at the machine still running in front of her, Paimon couldn't help but widen her eyes in shock. When she was in Inazuma, she thought that being able to build an Evil Eye Factory without anyone else's knowledge was already the limit of the Fatui. Unexpectedly, in Sumi, the Fatui refreshed her cognition again and built such a large factory directly underground.

Ruo Jin was also very surprised by this. He had always thought that no matter how good the Fatui were at building secret bases underground, they could only build so much. However, he never expected that the Fatui were really good at building underground bases.

"Looking at the structure here, it is indeed a big project. Those sages really put a lot of thought into it. This is the first time I have seen a factory of this level in Teyvat. But was this really built by the great sage? I don't think it's possible."

Ying looked around and saw the very mechanized factory in front of her. She had never seen such a mechanized place inside the Institute of Education. Ying also let out a sigh. However, since this place did not look like something that could be built by the Institute of Education, Ying was still quite confused about it.

"This should have been built with the help of the Fatui. Because of the cooperation between the Fatui and the Council of the Church, the Fatui, led by the Doctor, generously used their technology to help the Great Sage build this factory in order to realize the God-making Plan."

After finding some information about the factory in the void, Nashida also answered Ying's doubts. Not only that, since she took over the void again, Nashida now knew the design of the factory clearly. "Who is it!"

Just when Nashida was about to lead Ruojin and others to search for the stragglers according to the design, a group of Fatui suddenly appeared in front of them. Seeing a few strangers suddenly appear in front of them, the leader of the group shouted and interrupted Nashida's thoughts.

"We need to get rid of them quickly. We can't waste too much time here. According to the map of this factory, we need to unlock many mechanisms to reach the deepest part of the factory."

Nashida is worthy of being the goddess of wisdom. After taking a quick look at the factory's design drawings, she immediately discovered that there was a very complicated mechanism designed inside the factory. To go inside the factory, she had to unlock that mechanism, otherwise she would not be able to enter at all.

Hearing what Nashida said, Ruo Jin and Ying attacked almost at the same time. The sword of no skill, shining with golden light, directly hit the face of a Fatui who wanted to call for reinforcements. Before the Fatui could take out the calling device, he was knocked unconscious by the sword of no skill.

After getting rid of the most annoying Fatui, Ruo Jin rushed towards the Fatui who was the leader of the team with Rock element flashing on his body. The golden Rock element collided fiercely with the Thunder element hammer in the Fatui's hand. The poor Fatui didn't last for a few seconds before he flew backwards and hit the wall.

Just as Ruojin was killing each Fatui with his simple punch, the battle scene on Ying's side was much more gorgeous than Ruojin's. When fighting with the Fatui, Ying had a wind blade in his left hand and three lightning magatama in his right hand. Rock elements and morning elements would occasionally emerge from the ground to attack the Fatui who were not paying attention under their feet.

After a series of elemental reactions, Ying's speed in dealing with these Fatui was only slightly slower than Ruojin's. This made Ruojin look at Ying with higher regard. After not seeing him for a few days, Ying's strength had grown much faster than Ruojin's expectations.

Feeling Ruo Jin's surprised look, Ying couldn't help but pause. Her strength has been increasing rapidly these days, especially after she was able to control the grass element. She used the thunder element and grass element, two elements that could react, to eliminate many powerful enemies. It was a pity that she couldn't control the water element now, otherwise she would have tried the power of the grass seeds.

After dealing with the unlucky Fatui on patrol, Ruo Jin and his companions, led by Nashida, headed towards the interior of the factory. After solving several blood pressure-raising puzzles, they finally found the way leading deep into the factory.

Looking from this road towards the depths of the factory, Ruo Jin unexpectedly discovered that the location deep in the factory seemed to have hollowed out all the rocks there, forming a huge underground space. Around this space, huge containers were flashing with light, and pipes were connected to these containers and extended into the depths of the factory until they completely disappeared into the darkness.

“This place really makes me feel uncomfortable.”

After seeing the whole picture of the factory through his perception, King Ruotu felt a little unhappy with this place, because when he saw the hollowed-out underground, he suddenly thought of the huge rock abyss where he originally lived, which had also been hollowed out. This made King Ruotu feel repulsive to this place.
