My destiny is to go to work in a world that is collapsing

The middle layer of the giant rock abyss includes the main mining area and a large-scale incomplete exploration area. The exploration team previously mentioned by the Commissioner of the General Affairs Department is located outside the mining area.

The Xumi scholar who funded the formation of a private exploration team that was not affiliated with the Seven Stars and Eight Sects and personally participated in this underground exploration activity lay down and hid behind the boulders with others, waiting for the Qiuqiu to be soaked in black mud. After walking for a while, the person spoke in a low voice with lingering fear.

"Is this the first monster we have encountered today?"

"Thirty-four. As you step deeper into the abyss, you encounter monsters more and more frequently. It can be predicted that if you continue to go deeper, the number of monsters will continue to increase. The more unexplored places are, the more exaggerated dangers they hide."

The team is responsible for exploring the environment and determining safety. More than once, the presence of nearby monsters has been detected in advance through the changing air. Jin Wu, who was hiding with his companions, frowned.

"Although as an employee, it is not appropriate to give up when the commission is less than halfway through, but I am still a miner who relies on the layered rock abyss to make a living. I hope from the bottom of my heart to find clues about the black mud gushing out and help the Seven Stars. Completely solve this mutation, but - we may really need to turn back instead of continuing to take risks"

"If you want to study the cause of the changes in the layered rock abyss, you must go to a place where no one has ever set foot. Otherwise, with the abilities of the Seven Stars and Eight Sects, no significant progress has been made until now."

Xumi scholar Khadif sighed.

He is a scholar who has attainments in both minerals and biology, and his level of knowledge is beyond doubt. Only then can he obtain special permission to enter the stratified rock abyss through normal channels and start exploring.

Before entering, Khedive is quite confident.

He is a senior miner who is familiar with the environment and can lead people to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. He has rich experience in survival in the wild and is very skilled. When fully armed, he can properly deal with ordinary Qiuqiu people and slimes who are alone. A bard; an adventurer who is good at drawing and grew up in the mines; a demolitionist who can make explosives and create artificial passages in the rocky abyss.

Such a comprehensive personnel composition can be said to take all aspects into consideration, even if The Commissioner of the General Affairs Department in charge could not find any fault, and after repeatedly emphasizing the danger, he granted a temporary permission and had certain expectations.

Khadif believed that even if he could not find out the origin of the black mud as he hoped, the on-site inspection team From the environmental details of Yanju Abyss, we can infer the land changes over thousands of years, and we should gain something from writing a paper about Liyue's climate that shocked the Imperial Academy.

However, the situation is far more serious than expected.

Layer Yan The dangerous terrain of the abyss, the number of monsters, and the negative impact of the black mud are all more terrifying than Khedive expected. With multiple factors superimposed, all the exploration team can do these days is to ensure survival. Unable to run to the depths of the rocky abyss to find secrets

"We really should return... Alas, we spent most of our research budget on investigating the stratiform abyss, and made countless preparations before the exploration, only to get nothing in return?"

Khadif, who suffered an unprecedented defeat, felt a little disheartened for a while.

"No, not nothing. At least, Zhiqiong drew a more complete map, including many places that even the old miners have never set foot on. Even if Master Qixing should have another topographic map of the Great Abyss that is not widely circulated, the two may overlap with each other. It can still be used as a comparison."

Jinwu denied Khedive's statement.

"Now Zhiqiong left the team alone again and went to those unknown and dangerous places to draw maps. Although similar situations have occurred five or six times, she came back safely every time, but there is no guarantee that danger will not occur next time. This time when Zhiqiong returns to the team, I hope that everyone will be firm in saying that they want to return to the ground and must convince her."

"persuade? Is it possible that Zhiqiong still wants to stay alone in the Layer Rock Abyss when we are preparing to go back? It's a bit exaggerated."

Seeing Jin Wu's serious look, Khadev, who didn't believe it at first, also became serious.

"Does she really want to stay in the Strata Abyss? What are you thinking about?"

"When I chatted with Zhiqiong, I learned a lot about her. The child's hometown is Mingyun Town. There is a mine near the town. She grew up in the mine. She was once a draftsman and half miner. The mine in Mingyun Town is far from as large as the Great Stratum Abyss. The mine tunnels in the mountains have been walked by miners countless times, so there is no need for cartographers to draw additional drawings."

"So she changed her career to become an adventurer?"

"No, there was another experience during this period - Zhiqiong later accepted a commission to survey and map the terrain in Qiaoyingzhuang for a long time. It almost became her second hometown, but in the end she had a conflict with her employer and gave up halfway. I don’t know the specific details, but I can only guess that Zhiqiong, who is particularly serious, wants to draw the map in detail, while the employer wants the cartographer to come up with the finished product quickly and cleanly."

"This is really……"

Khedive was thoughtful and suddenly understood why Zhiqiong showed great enthusiasm when exploring the giant rock abyss.

"Zhiqiong's drawing ability is very good, but she suffered two consecutive failures, which inevitably made her feel resentful. This is the third time she has taken on the responsibility of drawing. If she ends it hastily, she may never recover from it."

"If you really think about it, Zhiqiong has already drawn so many maps, and I haven't played much of a role, so I just spent money to organize manpower. I'm the one who should be in ruins."

"Well, I will comfort Zhiqiong with similar words in a while. Ever since Master Huayi was granted the right to warm people's hearts during the ceremony of sending immortals, countless people in Liyue have been burning with enthusiasm, hoping to contribute to the new era. Zhiqiong was deeply affected and ran to the surface of the layered rock abyss many days ago. camp, bent on contributing."

Jin Wu hesitated for a moment and made up his mind.

"If it doesn't work, even if it means tying her up, we have to tie Zhiqiong back to the ground. She is too pushy now."

"I understand and will provide assistance as much as possible when the time comes. Speaking of which, it’s a special privilege for immortals. It’s a pity that I hadn’t come to Liyue before, so I missed the ceremony of sending immortals, and I wasn’t lucky enough to see the heroic figure of that gentleman at that time."

Listening to Khedive's soliloquy, the eyes of the blaster of the exploration team were also full of emotion.

It was because of Master Renxianqi's words at Yujingtai that he changed his ways, quit the treasure stealing group, and started a new life. of.
