Original God: I can earn experience points

Chapter 471 Dainsleib (two in one)

Just as expected.

The moment all the grass seeds were swept by the lightning element, it was as if they were equipped with small electric motors and turned into small green missiles that were fired at the sword-wielding black snake knight.

The power of elemental reactions is linked to one's own strength, and the same is true for grass seeds.

Li Qiuzhi's strength is much stronger than the Black Snake Knight, and one grass seed is enough for him to handle.

Faced with so many grass seeds attacking him, the Black Snake Knight didn't dare to take them head-on.

He kicked his feet backwards and his tall and burly body quickly retreated.

Although the grass seeds with super bloom reaction can lock and track enemies as they wish, they are not without limitations.

Elemental reactions are short-lived, except for freezing reactions which last a little longer, as well as overload reactions, melting, evaporation, etc.

They all have very short reaction times.

The super bloom reaction of grass seeds and lightning elements is basically the same.

The elemental reaction occurs and the grass seeds are launched, and the reaction time will only last for a few seconds.

If you cannot hit the enemy within this period of time.

Then when the elemental reaction is over, the grass seeds will disappear. Although the flying speed of the grass seeds with super blooming reaction is fast, it is not teleportation.

According to the mathematical formula "time and speed determine distance", we can know that the attack range of grass seeds has an upper limit.

Therefore, as long as the speed is fast enough, the Black Snake Knight can naturally avoid the attack of the grass seeds.

Li Qiuzhi obviously wouldn't give it a chance.

"despair!"

He raised his right hand, pinched his thumb and middle finger together and slid them towards his index finger, and a crisp sound was heard.

A purple hourglass shadow emerged from above his head.

Then it reversed, a grain of sand fell, the target was locked on the Black Snake Knight, and time stopped!
Ying, Paimeng and Ye Lan saw it.

The Black Snake Knight, who was retreating rapidly, suddenly froze in mid-air, like a photo taken by a camera.

"Time stop, what a cheating ability." Paimon spread out his hands and felt a little sympathy for the Black Snake Knight.

The Black Snake Knight was suspended in time.

The grass seeds didn't have that, they all crashed into the humanoid monster.

"-Bang bang bang!"

A slight explosion spread, and green grass elements bloomed.

The armor on the Black Snake Knight's body soon became fragmented and looked like a string of broken stones.

The material of this armor is very good and it has not completely turned into powder.

Li Qiuzhi snapped his fingers again, releasing the time pause. The Black Snake Knight fell freely from mid-air and hit the ground, motionless.

"Phew, great, it looks like it's done!"

Paimon cheered and flew up.

Ye Lan and Ying also put away their weapons and walked over to the young adventurer on the stone floor in high-heeled boots that fit the graceful curves of their legs.

"Well done." Ye Lan praised, crossing her arms under her chest.

[Yelan has a good impression of you and gains 200 favorability points. The current favorability level is Lv. 5 (180/500)]

Li Qiuzhi showed a faint smile.

He looked at the Black Snake Knight on the ground and did not let down his guard, but the character panel had not yet popped up a prompt to defeat the powerful enemy and gain experience points.

And the mental power also sensed that the Black Snake Knight was still conscious, and had not fainted or been defeated.

What a tenacious opponent!

Soon, the Black Snake Knight pressed himself to the ground and tried to get up in front of everyone, but he was too seriously injured and failed after several attempts.

Li Qiuzhi summoned a translucent tentacle above the Black Snake Knight's head.

Prepare to give it the final blow.

Tap, tap, tap. The footsteps came from behind, which were different from the high-heeled boots of Ye Lan and Ying. Instead, they sounded like flat-heeled boots.

The person with heavy footsteps is most likely a man.

"Please wait a moment!" A strange man with short blond hair and a black eye patch covering his right eye walked over.

Hearing the voice, Li Qiuzhi and others turned around.

"Hey, are there any other adventurers here? Coming alone to this dark and weird place. Hmm, very suspicious!"

Paimon rubbed his chin with the base of his hand and looked at the strange man in front of him warily.

"who are you?"

The fluorescent amber pupils did not fluctuate at all, and he parted his thin lips to ask a question.

Dainsreb Li Qiuzhi knew this man.

In the game plot, he has been investigating things related to the Abyss Cult.

It was no accident that he appeared in the Layered Abyss. It was very likely that Sora or the two Abyss Singers had lured him here.

"Nice to meet you two famous legendary adventurers. My name is Dainsleb, a survivor of Kanria."

The man was wearing a black cape, and his clothes and pants were also black. He first greeted everyone in a friendly manner, and then introduced himself without concealing his identity.

"Oh eh!? You're from Kanria?!"

Seeing that the other party did not seem to be causing trouble, Paimon was about to greet him in the same friendly way, but he was suddenly surprised to hear the other party say that he was from Kanria.

"Just a traitor to his country." Dainsleb said calmly.

"The Kingdom of Kanria fell five hundred years ago. Mr. Dainsleb is probably not an ordinary Kanria person, as he has survived from that time to the present.

"Could these black soldiers have something to do with you?"

Li Qiuzhi asked casually.

Dainsleb walked up to the sword-wielding Black Snake Knight, squatted down to check its condition, and found that it was not seriously injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief:

"They are the Black Snake Knights, who were once part of the Kanreya Palace Guard."

"I see. So you came here to save him? But they have such a strong ominous aura, and they don't seem like rational humans."

Li Qiuzhi pretended to be confused and continued.

"That's because of the 'Curse of Undeath'. All the Kanreya people who survived the war were cursed and transformed into terrible monsters."

Dainsreb explained.

"Hey! Then you can't be..."

Paimon shrank back to Ying in fear. They had just killed two Black Snake Knights. If it was true as Dainsleb said, then he was not here to seek revenge!
"Oh, don't be nervous. The 'Black Snake Knight' that was once glorious in Kanreya has now become a minion of the abyss."

Dainsleb said this sarcastically, but there was an inevitable hint of sadness in his voice.

"Well, then why did you ask us to stop?"

Paimon touched his hair, and an even more confused expression appeared on his little face.

"He's a little different." Dainsleb looked at the sword-wielding Black Snake Knight who seemed to have recovered a little and barely stood up, and continued:

"This Black Snake Knight gives me a familiar feeling, and his fighting style still retains the style of Kanreya. Maybe he even has self-awareness."

"Oh?"

Li Qiuzhi was a little surprised. He remembered that in the game plot there was indeed a Black Snake Knight who retained his self-awareness under the curse. Could it be this one?
If that's the case, why did he attack them? The Black Snake Knight in the game didn't attack the travelers.

Is there something different here? Uh, wait!

The plot of the game is probably because Dainsreb was there from the beginning. They are both from Kanreya and they are even friends.

I felt a familiar aura and awakened more self-awareness, so I controlled myself and didn't attack.
Li Qiuzhi felt that this was most likely the reason for the incident, otherwise it would not be that she took action just because she disliked him.

"Well, we still don't know why you came here. Are you here to reminisce with your former companion in the ruins of the Kanreya city?"

He asked casually.

"I'm sorry, I didn't make my purpose clear. I was indeed a little careless."

Dainsleib thought that Li Qiuzhi and the others were still wary of him. After all, he was a stranger, and yet he suddenly came into contact with them in such a strange place.

It's normal that they don't dispel their doubts so quickly.

“First of all, let me correct one thing. Although the style of this inverted city is somewhat similar to that of Kanreya, I know every city in the Kingdom of Kanreya very well.

“It is certain that this place does not belong to Kanreya, it may come from an even older civilization.

"As for why I came here, to be honest, I don't know. I was on my way to track down the Abyss Cult and accidentally came here through their 'transmission network'."

Dainsleib explained briefly.

Uh. Isn't this Kanreya? It seems that there were big mistakes in my previous guesses.

Li Qiuzhi thought a little embarrassedly.

But there's nothing I can do about it. After all, that version of the storyline for Layered Chasm happened too long ago, so it's normal that I might have some mistakes in the details.

If that's the case, then these Black Snake Knights were not originally here, but were brought here by the Abyss Cult using the "teleportation network".

Maybe they were asked to guard the area to prevent adventurers or others who accidentally came here like them from disrupting the cult's plans.

But the question of why the city is upside down remains unanswered.

"Tracking the Abyss Cult?"

Ying folded her arms and nodded slightly. The destruction of Kanreya was also related to the Abyss. If this man was a survivor of Kanreya, it would be normal for him to investigate the Abyss Cult.

"Well, I'll tell you more later when I have the chance. Now this Black Snake Knight seems to want to take us somewhere."

Dainsleb did not continue to explain, but instead turned his attention to the Black Snake Knight who was becoming more and more familiar to him.

The Black Snake Knight stood up and looked at Dainsleb silently without the aggressiveness he had just shown.

Then, without paying any attention to Li Qiuzhi and the others, he turned around and walked back with his sword.

"He should want to take us somewhere. How about you guys follow him?"

Dainsleib looked at Li Qiuzhi and the others.

"Since we're here, let's go." Li Qiuzhi nodded.

I seem to remember from the game's plot that the Black Snake Knight took Ying to the location of the spring that could suppress the "undead curse".

If there is any place where Kong is, it is most likely there.

If they could follow the Black Snake Knight to find it, it would save them a lot of time spent searching on their own.

As we followed the Black Snake Knight, the atmosphere became a little quieter.

Along the way, they met many Hillichuls lying in dark corners. Dainsleb explained that although they had the "curse of undeath", they were not really immortal.

Under the influence of "wear and tear", both the soul and the body will still be worn out.

Therefore, these Hillichuls who were transformed from the Kanreya people, realizing that the end of their own selves was approaching, would instinctively seek a quiet corner to bid farewell to hundreds of years of pain.

And this place can weaken the curse, so there is no better place for their coffins.

It is really pitiful that one suffers so much during life and cannot rest in peace after death.

Time passed as I chatted with Dainsleib. After following the Black Snake Knight for a long time, I finally arrived at a larger room.

This is also inverted, the original dome of the room has become the ground, and the ground has become the dome.

When Li Qiuzhi and the others looked up, they could see a flowing spring right above them. Strangely enough, not a single drop of water fell down.

As if not affected by gravity.

Right below the spring, Li Qiuzhi saw three familiar figures again—our Prince and his two Abyss Chanter subordinates.

They are installing a device to amplify the spring's effect in weakening the curse.

Apparently noticing the arrival of Li Qiuzhi and the others, Kong sighed slightly, turned around and said:
"Ying, you finally found this place. Now is not the time for us to 'reunite'. Before we finish what we have done, I can't travel to the next world with you."

I still want to travel with my father, brother-in-law, what are you dreaming about? If you want to go, go with me. Li Qiuzhi looked at the sky with a straight face.

"Brother, can you tell me why you are with the Abyss Cult, and what you want to do?"

Ying met Kong again, and she was no longer as confused as she was at the beginning. She was now much calmer and asked.

The blond boy, Sora, did not answer for the moment, but instead turned his gaze towards Dainsleib:

"Compared to this, why are you with Dain? I told you not to stand in my way, not to stop the Abyss Cult's plan, and he is my enemy!"

"Dain is your brother's enemy? Uh, what's going on?" Paimon said to Ying in surprise.

Ying shook her head. She could no longer tell whether her brother was a good person or a bad person. He gave her an unprecedented sense of strangeness.

Of course, she had no way of knowing what kind of relationship he had with Dainsleib.

"Oh, brother-in-law, it's rare for Ying to meet you, and you start by saying don't stand in front of you, don't stand in front of the Abyss Cult, isn't that a bit too much!
“You have to know that the Abyss Cultists are a notorious evil force on the continent of Teyvat. You must know how much trouble they have brought to the people!
"If you don't explain the situation clearly, we won't be asked to stop you or anything. It's really difficult to deal with you!"

Li Qiuzhi said with a sneer.

If you dare to treat Ying badly, you will be beaten even if you are my brother-in-law!

"Brother-in-law" Kong was stunned for a moment and repeated the way Li Qiuzhi addressed him.

Then he quickly understood what it meant, and a terrifying aura emanated from his body.

If Li Qiuzhi could see his affection for her, it would definitely be negative!
