The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 415 Reasons for Refusing to Travel Together

"That's because you couldn't defeat those monsters, Ying, so I crashed into the rock."

Hearing that Ying had exposed her past, Paimon couldn't help but puff up her cheeks. If Ying hadn't underestimated her enemy when she was lifting the seal of the Abyss yesterday, causing the monsters in the Abyss to chase the two of them all over the world, would she, Paimon, have bumped into a rock out of panic? This was all Ying's fault.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Ruojin, do you want to go on an adventure with us into the Layered Abyss?"

In order to prevent being tricked by Ying again, Paimong also invited Ruojin to form a team. Hearing Paimong inviting Ruojin to go to the Abyss together, Ying beside him also showed an expectant expression. If Ruojin could join them, then the exploration of the Abyss would be much easier.

You know, ever since she broke the seal above the Layered Abyss and entered it yesterday, the monsters inside the Layered Abyss have been affected by some unknown factor. Their strength is much stronger than the monsters outside. She was not paying attention and got her arm injured. And if Ruojin joined, Ying felt that she could avenge yesterday's revenge at once.

"The Rocky Abyss? I'm afraid I can't go with you guys to that place."

Hearing the name, Ruo Jin frowned slightly. Although he was not very familiar with the Layered Rock Abyss, he knew that the place was once where the Emperor and the Boss Ruota fought. If possible, he did not want to mention this place name that made the Dragon King Ruota sad.

"Ah, Ruojin, aren't you going with us? I want to explore the secrets hidden in the Layered Abyss with you."

Paimeng was a little surprised to hear that Ruojin rejected her invitation, because in Paimeng's impression, this was the first time that Ruojin rejected her since he met her. Could this be what Ying mentioned these days about forgetting one's principles for the sake of beauty?

Thinking about what Ying had been muttering these days, like "Ruo Jin forgets his friendship for the sake of beauty" or "He is so obsessed with Hu Tao that he can't tell the directions", Paimeng, who had thought it was nothing before, suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.

You know, after witnessing Ruojin's ever-increasing strength during the journey, Paimeng felt that Ruojin was much more reliable than Ying, and after being injured yesterday, the first thing she thought of was to ask Ruojin to help, but she didn't expect that Ruojin actually refused.

"Alright, Paimon, stop looking at me with those pitiful eyes. It's not that I don't want to help you, but the main reason is that the Layered Abyss is not a place worth remembering for Boss Ruota."

Ruojin, who was stared at by Paimon with a pitiful look, was really unable to bear being bitten by Paimon, so he reminded Ying. Hearing what Ruojin said, Ying immediately remembered that Zhongli had said before that he had a battle with the Dragon King Ruota in the Layered Abyss, and the outcome of that battle was that the Dragon King Ruota was sealed.

Thinking of this, Ying's eyes became a little apologetic. She knew the story of how King Rota was defeated by Zhongli in the Layered Abyss and sealed for who knows how many years.

Now, when she brought up the Layered Abyss in front of King Rudra, even though Ying hadn't thought about it because she hadn't remembered the story at the moment, she still felt her conscience was condemned by the thought of unintentionally hurting a friend.

"The Rocky Abyss? Is that a sad place for the Dragon King Rudra?"

Paimon, who had already completely forgotten the story Zhongli had told her before, blinked her big eyes, which were full of confusion. However, she gave up the idea of ​​inviting Ruojin to go to the Abyss with them.

"Paimon, you idiot, can't you remember anything else in your head except food?" Looking at Paimon's silly and cute look, Ying couldn't help but complain while covering her forehead. However, she didn't plan to tell Paimon the story about the Chasm and Rotaur here. It would not be too late to tell Paimon about this kind of thing after they left.

"Hehe, but if Ruo Jin doesn't come to help, I'm going to have to fly higher this time. I don't want to hit a rock again."

Thinking of the pain when she hit the stone, Paimeng scratched her head with a lingering fear. If possible, she never wanted to compare her body with the stone to see which one was harder.

"Although I can't go with you, I can still help you. I have learned a lot of magic these days."

Looking at Paimeng's cute appearance, Ruo Jin put a jade pendant on Paimeng's neck, and then drew a few strokes on the back of Ying's hand, and a small talisman appeared on the back of Ying's hand.

"With these two things, you shouldn't be so easily injured. Speaking of which, the Layered Abyss seems to be quite far from here. If you don't set off now, you may not be able to reach the Layered Abyss until dark."

After hearing Ruojin's words, Ying slapped her head and remembered this matter. Since the Chen Ge Pot was sent to Grandma Ping for upgrading, Ying didn't want to sleep in the wild in Liyue anymore, so she didn't wait for Ruojin to tell her the effects of these two things. Ying pulled Paimon and ran towards the direction of the Chasm.

"Jin boy, if you want to go, it's not impossible to go and take a look. I have already let go of what happened back then."

Sensing that Ruojin was watching Ying and Paimeng leave the seal, the Dragon King Ruota knew that Ruojin did not follow them out of consideration for his feelings. He was moved and tried to persuade Ruojin a few words, but Ruojin just shook his head.

"Boss Ruo Tuo, please stop talking. I have already left a tracking talisman on Ying and gave her a jade pendant with a defensive formation. If Ying is really in danger, it won't be too late for me to go. And don't forget that Ying can now use four elemental powers. Her strength is not weak."

"I just used the earth veins to sense the injuries on Ying's body. They are just some scratches. I think Ying was injured accidentally because she underestimated her opponent. It shouldn't be a big problem. Let's concentrate on watching the game."

Ruo Jin had wanted to see the Layered Abyss for a long time. If his own boss Ruota had already come out of his body, he would definitely have gone there with Ying and Paimon this time. However, when he thought that the place was a sad place for his own boss Ruota, Ruo Jin no longer had any interest in it.

"Forget it, kid. If the traveler encounters any danger, it won't be too late for you to go. Anyway, you can sense the defensive magic circle on the jade pendant once it is activated."

During this period, Ruojin has been following Ying around a lot, which has left Ruotu Dragon King with a good impression of Ying as a traveler. For this reason, Ruotu Dragon King does not want Ruojin to reject Ying's invitation because of him.

However, knowing that Ruojin was the kind of person who would not respond no matter how much persuasion he received once he made up his mind, Ruotu Dragon King muttered something but said nothing else, because he could sense that the jade pendant that Ruojin had just given to Ying contained extremely terrifying immortal power. If all the immortal power in the jade pendant was used to activate the defensive formation inside the jade pendant, it should not be a problem for him to hold out for a day or two.
