Original God: I can earn experience points

Chapter 437 Preliminary Speculations (Two in One)

"Glowing Power" is a skill that touches upon the divine realm, so the "Glowing Sword God" summoned is naturally much stronger than before.

Under the more powerful "Sharp Intention" characteristic, no matter how hard the Ruins Snake is, it can only be cut!

However, the Ruin Snake was not easily defeated.

It raised its head, and the gears in its head started spinning rapidly, as if it was howling to the sky.

Then countless black muds spread up along the tail of the giant relic snake, forming strange black patterns that forcibly glued the cut steel body together.

"This is possible? Is it so outrageous that we can use black mud?" Li Qiuzhi said in surprise.

"Compared to that giant relic snake, I feel you are even more outrageous."

Watching Li Qiuzhi simply control the incarnation of sword intent and casually slash out a sword energy, she was able to easily cause serious injuries to the powerful enemy that even she had to seek help to deal with.

Ye Lan felt a little complicated.

You have to know that when I first met this guy more than half a year ago, he was still a weak adventurer who could only allow himself to be tied up and controlled.

Are people from other worlds so gifted?
"Haha, it's nothing."

Li Qiuzhi smiled and continued:
"Alright, hurry up and help restrain the giant relic snake. Cut it a few more times and see if it can stick to you!"

"Well."

Ganyu was also a little dazed.

It felt like they didn't need to take any action at all, Li Qiuzhi could defeat the giant relic snake by himself.

Of course, if everyone takes action, things will naturally become much easier and the problem can be solved quickly.

She held the longbow, raising her arm to shoulder level.

The backless black silk bodysuit and short cheongsam did not cover the shoulders, slightly revealing the snow-white skin under the armpits.

Gan Yu pinched the bowstring with her delicate fingers and gently pulled it.

An exquisite arrow made entirely of ice elements was placed on the bowstring.

She aimed at the giant snake ruins on the opposite side of the dark canyon, loosened her fingers slightly, and the arrow flew out with a "whoosh".

The strong ice element froze the air, leaving a trail of frost wherever it passed.

Li Qiuzhi controlled the "Fluorescent Sword Gods" to restrain the giant ruins snake, preventing it from leaving its current location.

"Snapped!"

The frost-colored meteor hit the body of the giant relic snake without any surprise, and countless ice elements began to spread on its body.

"Miss Ye Lan!" Gan Yu tilted her fair face and looked at the tall lady beside her.

"Ok!"

Ye Lan also aimed her bow and arrow at the giant relic snake, looking forward from her white back.

Looking through the raised arm, one can clearly see the side chest wrapped in the blue leather jacket.

Suddenly, his arm was extended to block his vision, and the arrow made of water elements on the bowstring was shot out.

In less than a second, the arrow shot by Ye Lan also hit the giant relic snake.

Although the Ruins Snake is very powerful and has a body of steel, it is also highly resistant to elemental forces.

If it is someone weaker than it, trying to freeze it may be difficult to do so.

But Ganyu is stronger than it, and Ye Lan is not weak either, so when the elemental forces they use collide, the freezing reaction is triggered.

The giant relic snake had no resistance and was frozen into an ice block. Even with the power of the black mud, it was of no use.

However, even if it was frozen, it might not last long, so Li Qiuzhi did not waste this opportunity.

He picked up the bow and fired an arrow with the wind element, diffusing the elemental force to allow the water and ice elements that had not yet fully reacted to continue reacting.

Controlling the two "Fluorescent Sword Gods", he slashed out golden sword energy at the head of the giant relic snake.

At the moment of cutting the ice, the iron body of the giant relic snake was also cut, directly taking its energy core!
"Oh!"

There was a sound like glass breaking, followed by a loud bang.

The giant relic snake, which had just unfrozen, was emitting golden lightning on its body and was jumping around irregularly.

It was obvious that it was paralyzed... Just as he thought of this, Li Qiuzhi saw the giant relic snake fall to the ground.

[Defeat powerful enemies and gain 134512 experience points. 】

The character panel will pop up prompts for gaining experience points at the appropriate time.

This shows that the Ruins Snake has been successfully defeated and has no ability to resist at all.

"Huh, it's done. It was really not easy!" Li Qiuzhi put away the bow and arrow and sighed slightly.

Ye Lan rolled her eyes at him, not wanting to respond at all, and turned to look at Gan Yu:
"Let's go check out that giant relic snake and see if we can find anything unusual!"

It was strange that the giant relic snake could control the black mud. The giant relic snakes she had encountered elsewhere before did not have this ability.

"Well, let's go!" Ganyu nodded, summoned the Wings of Wind, and flew across the canyon with Ye Lan.

"..."

Li Qiuzhi felt a little helpless, so he had to summon the Wings of Wind to catch up.

Looking at their snow-white backs and their calves wrapped in leather boots and black stockings hanging in the air, swaying slightly and naturally, I suddenly didn't rush to follow them.

It's nice to slow down and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

It's just that the environment is a little dark, and I can't see the details in the blurry area under their fluttering skirts.

After more than ten seconds, several people landed on the platform opposite the canyon one after another.

"When I saw it from a distance, I thought it was just of average size. But when I got closer, I saw that the head of this giant snake was probably as big as a house!"

Li Qiuzhi shifted his gaze to the giant relic snake and said.

He had never seen such a huge steel structure. It was a drill developed by Kanriya. The huge gear on the head was used to push away the hard rocks.

The specific purpose seems to be digging underground tunnels to transport troops or something.

If we bring this giant relic snake back, let Ningguang instruct the scholars to do reverse engineering and research the technology of the giant relic snake.

In the future, it can also be sold as a product of the "Tiantianhua Chamber of Commerce", and it should be very efficient in mining ore.

As for whether studying Kanriya's technology will be met with hostility from "heavenly law" and lead to attacks or something.

Li Qiuzhi felt that the possibility was very small, because the reason why the country of Kanreya was destroyed was never a problem of high technological level.

Instead, he tried to master the power from outside the world, that is, the abyss.

They mainly tried to master the power of the abyss and lure the invader "Abyss" to Teyvat, causing a dark disaster that affected the entire continent, which no one could tolerate.

So they were destroyed, and most of the remaining people were also cursed with the "undeath curse" and turned into monsters like the Hilichurls.

Only a few powerful people can remain sane under the "undead curse" and not turn into monsters.

But even so, the survivors of Kanreya who did not turn into monsters were also tortured by the "undead curse".

Therefore, as long as he doesn't blatantly study the power of the abyss like Kanriya did and cause harm to the world, there will basically be no problem.

Li Qiuzhi thought so. "It is indeed quite big. Do you have any idea about it?" Ye Lan asked curiously, looking at Li Qiuzhi's thoughtful expression with her hands folded under her chest.

Li Qiuzhi did not hide anything and expressed his thoughts.

"Oh, that's a good idea, but you think no one has studied Kanreya's machinery before.

“It’s just imitating an iron shell, which no country can’t do.

“A rune and energy core that can make a mechanical body made purely of steel and gears move according to certain logic, or even obey orders.

"This is where the real value lies, and no one has been able to research it yet."

Ye Lan shook her head slightly, her dark blue hair brushing across her cheek as she spoke.

She didn't think Li Qiuzhi's idea would be so easy to realize, after all, there were all failed cases before.

"That's true." Li Qiuzhi sighed.

It is naturally not so easy to replicate Kanriya's technology. It seems that he thought it was too simple.

If we want to develop Kanreya technology, we may have to find the information they left behind.

I can only think about it later when I have the chance.

“Generally speaking, the Ruins Serpent does not have the ability to control black mud, but now that it has demonstrated such power.

"It's very likely that its energy core has been contaminated. Let's take it apart and check it out."

Ye Lan thought for a moment and said.

The most important thing now is to investigate whether this giant snake relic is related to the black mud overflowing from the mining area.

"Okay, let me take it apart," Li Qiuzhi nodded. He controlled the "Fluorescent Sword God" to easily cut open the steel body of the giant relic snake.

Finally, we discovered that in addition to the head, there were three other energy cores distributed throughout the body.

These energy cores, like those guarding the ruins, should all be bright yellow.

However, after observation by Li Qiuzhi and his team, they found that except for the bright yellow surface of these cores, the centers were all stained the same color as the black mud.

Or the black mud has invaded its energy core, and it is very likely because of this that it is able to use the power of the black mud.

"Should we destroy them? Will destroying them be able to stop the spread of black mud in the mining area?"

Ganyu thought for a moment and said.

"It's not impossible. There's no use keeping it anyway." Li Qiuzhi nodded slightly, and then said, "In fact, I already have some guesses about where the black mud came from."

"You knew already?"

Ye Lan released the fingers that were against her chin and looked at him in surprise, as did Gan Yu beside her.

"It's just a guess that suddenly came to my mind. I don't know if it's right."

Li Qiuzhi was about to tell the information he had learned in the game. He looked at the black mud that had just been summoned by the giant snake of the ruins and had not yet dissipated.

"I was thinking all the way here that the black mud usually emerges from the ground. When I was fighting the giant relic snake just now, I also found that it summoned the black mud from the ground."

He paused and continued:

“Since they all emerged from underground, it is very likely not the power of the Ruins Serpent itself.

"It may just be that there is more black mud power in its energy core, so it can summon black mud from underground at will."

“If there is anything in the ground that can hold the black mud, I think it should be the ground veins. After all, the underground of the mining area was originally normal.

"There shouldn't be anything other than the earth veins that would cause the black mud to appear everywhere without any regular pattern."

After listening to Li Qiuzhi's words, Ye Lan and Gan Yu thought about it carefully in their hearts and found that what he said was quite reasonable.

They now also feel that the giant relic snake that could be easily defeated is most likely not the source of the black mud.

"Your guess makes sense. We will destroy these contaminated energy cores and then see if the black mud changes."

Even though she already had a tendency in her mind, Ye Lan felt that it would be more rigorous to verify it.

"Ah."

Li Qiuzhi nodded and indicated that there was no problem.

He signaled the two to step back a little, then controlled the "Fluorescent Sword God" and split the four energy cores in half with one sword.

With a burst of golden lightning "sizzling", all the energy cores became silent.

The black mud inside also flowed out.

Li Qiuzhi used a large amount of elemental force to cover the black mud, and then they annihilated each other, and eventually the black mud could not be replenished.

He won the victory easily.

In terms of being able to annihilate each other with elemental forces, black mud is quite similar to the power of the abyss. Perhaps it is also a kind of power of the abyss.
Li Qiuzhi was thinking with some guesses.

"Is there really no change?"

While Li Qiuzhi was destroying the energy core, Ye Lan also focused her attention on the black mud that the Ruins Serpent had summoned earlier.

It was found that there was no change in it. Now it can be basically confirmed that it was not the giant snake of the ruins that caused the turbulence in the black mud.

"In order to confirm whether it is caused by the earth veins, I think we still need to let professional scholars come and take a look."

Li Qiuzhi gave his own suggestions.

"Well, let's go back and talk to Ningguang first, and ask her to arrange for researchers in related fields to come and analyze it."

Ye Lan released the arms that were hugging her chest and said with a slight sigh of relief.

Although Liyue’s academic research is not as impressive as Xumi’s, it basically has everything it should have, and it’s not like they can’t even find a scholar who understands the geomantic veins.

"Thank you both for your help today. Otherwise, the investigation wouldn't have made progress so quickly."

She looked at Li Qiuzhi and Gan Yu and said with a smile.

[Yelan has a good impression of you and gains 260 favorability points. The current favorability level is Lv. 3 (180/300)]

"No, no need to thank me. I didn't do anything. It was mainly Mr. Li Qiuzhi's credit."

Ganyu waved her hand and said to the young adventurer next to her.

[Gan Yu has a good impression of you and gained 200 favorability points. The current favorability level is Lv.4 (200/400)]

Li Qiuzhi looked at the two consecutive favorable impression prompts that popped up on the character panel and said with a smile:

“Although we haven’t found a complete solution to the black mud problem yet, we should be able to find it soon once we have a direction.

"By the way, before we go back, I plan to leave two sword incarnations behind to clean up the black mud and monsters in the main mining area. What do you think?

“This may be able to get the mine operating again.”

He actually didn't want to miss out on the monsters in the Layered Abyss that were strengthened by the black mud. They gave him a lot of experience points.

After hearing what Li Qiuzhi said, Ye Lan and Gan Yu looked at each other, thought about it and felt that it was not a bad idea, so they nodded and said:

"You decide for yourself."
