In the darkness, the footsteps of several people sounded back and forth.

Paimon followed Ying's footsteps closely, not daring to go further than half a step.

"Um?"

Halfway through the walk, Ying felt a smell of blood, which made her frown.

"Be careful."

She whispered deeply, causing the adventurers behind her to tense up.

The elemental power in Ying's body became more and more intense, and he was on guard against accidents that might happen at any time.

But accidents always happen unexpectedly. The more alert you are, the less likely such accidents will come.

The girl kept moving forward in the darkness, and there was still a calmness around her.

Until, the end of the road.

The thick smell of blood made it impossible for people to look anywhere else. The corpse lying on the ground could still attract everyone's attention even in the endless darkness.

There were several arrows stuck in the back of the corpse and in front of it. It was bleeding, but now they have solidified into blood clots.

With the light emitted by the elemental power, Ying glanced at the face of the corpse.

"It's him!"

Pamon exclaimed.

Doleha, who just disappeared yesterday, would die here.

For a moment, a chill enveloped everyone present.

But fortunately, we are all adventurers, and our mental endurance is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

Ying turned over Dorha's body several times, trying to find out if there were any useful clues.

The remaining people were investigating the surrounding environment.

After calming down, everyone discovered that the road in front of them was not a complete dead end, but was blocked by a door.

Ying put her hand on the stone door and exerted force, but the stone door didn't move at all.

The elemental power in her body surged again, and she wanted to break through the door directly with force.

But the elemental power pouring into the back of the stone gate was like a stone sinking into the sea, without any fluctuations.

The girl quickly retracted her hand, her eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.

This is the first time she has encountered this situation.

You know, elemental power is like a universal key on the continent of Teyvat, and can solve almost any mystery.

You can even break through violently.

But the current situation made her dare not act rashly.

Maybe there is something hidden behind this door that will bring disaster to everyone.

"Senior Knight of Honor, if our guess is correct, this should be the place where the rumored Lord of the Rings is hidden."

After discovering various traces in the cave, Du Lan's eyes flashed with surprise, and even the fear caused by the death of someone in front of him was diluted a lot.

I didn't expect that I would be able to find clues to the Lord of the Rings this time. It was really a huge profit.

"Really, then-"

Before Ying finished speaking, there was a rumble from the other end of the passage.

The stone wall came down and everyone's exit was blocked.

"Eh? Has the mechanism been lifted?"

Paimon flew around the girl in a panic, looking very cramped.

Ying's golden eyes shimmered in the shadows, seeming to see through everything.

"No, it's probably the murderer who left and returned."

"Eeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Hearing that a murderer was following them all the way, the screams of Paimon and the adventurers echoed throughout the cave again.

Ying looked up at the closed mountain gate, but what she was thinking about was the ins and outs of all this.

What's the point of everything the other party is doing? He wouldn't think that this kind of thing could trap them.

Unlike the stone door behind him, the stone wall is just an ordinary large rock.

She can crush it directly with just one blow, so this kind of hindrance is meaningless to her.

Thinking of this, Yingxin moved and looked at the body behind him.

That person probably wanted to move the tiger away from the mountain, and move a few of them away from here so that the corpses could be wiped out.

"No, we have to leave a few people here."

As soon as he finished speaking, a crashing sound came from the stone door behind him, causing everyone to look startled.

"what is that."

"It feels like... the sound of running water?"

Ying's pupils shrank, and the emerald green light on his body flashed, wrapping all the people present in it, and rushed out suddenly.

The next second, the raging water rose from the bottom upwards, swallowing everything in its path.

The distance from the cave entrance seemed to be only a hundred meters, but in Ying's eyes now, it looked like a chasm.

In a place like this, she didn't dare to increase her speed too fast.

She also had to control her elemental power not to spread too far, lest it cause a landslide and bury everyone here.

Under all kinds of worries, Ying felt that she might not be able to protect so many people.

Damn it, was this planned by the murderer?

A trace of anger flashed in the eyes of the blond girl, and she gritted her silver teeth and led everyone to rush upward.

But the water covered her faster than she could escape, and she caught up with everyone in the blink of an eye.

But at this critical moment, a breeze from a long time ago blew upward from the cave.

It caused a stir.

"Buzz~"

Where the sea water shrouded it, it seemed as if there was a flash of lightning.

In an instant, the seawater stopped surging and receded just as it was about to spread to everyone.

Seeing the sea water rising and receding like a tide, everyone present was frightened.

Even Ying was frightened for a while.

If a place like this were flooded, even she wouldn't be able to protect everyone present.

There will definitely be casualties by then.

"Walk!"

Ying didn't intend to stay here anymore and just led everyone to continue rushing towards the entrance of the cave.

Boundless lightning gathered in her palms, like light passing through the darkness.

There was a flash of lightning.

"boom!"

The thunder was like a sharp sword, hitting the rocks blocking everyone's eyes.

In an instant, the rocks cracked, revealing the sun and sky behind them.

"Phew, it's finally out."

Paimon breathed in the fresh air and looked at the bottomless black cave behind with lingering fear.

Ever since Ying's strength rose rapidly, she rarely had such thrilling exploration experiences.

I didn't expect that I would almost overturn my car in a place like this.

There are indeed more hidden dangers in this world.

Ying rushed out of the cave first and looked around.

Sure enough, the boulder that was previously pressed on the stone slab had now rolled to the ground.

But they failed to discover the hidden culprit.

The girl murmured to herself.

After this incident, Ying did not dare to go deep again.
