Genshin Impact: I, the first water follower, makes players excited

Chapter 190 Egolia's Question

Tinari explained to everyone what they need to pay attention to in the dead zone.

"...If you can't hold on any longer, come out and rest. This is a matter of life and death, after all. Let's go."

The moment he entered the dead zone, Hines felt some invisible ropes wrapped around his body, and these ropes were constantly tightening.

"So this is the dead zone..."

The men split into three groups. Sines and Egolia naturally acted together. He led Egolia deeper into the country.

"Hines, do you know what the 'branch' that Tinari is talking about is?"

Branches are the external manifestation of the dead zone. A large amount of filth is condensed on these branches. Only by destroying them can we clean up the real dead zone.

“Not sure, but I have a feeling it’s just around the corner.”

There was a trace of black air flowing in Hines' eyes, which was the pollution of the abyss. At this moment, in his eyes, he saw the invisible rope.

Reddish-brown ropes grew from the ground and wrapped around him and Egolia.

"Egolia, take my hand."

Although she didn't understand what Hines was thinking, Egolia still extended her hand. When the two touched, a blue-black halo suddenly appeared on Hines' hand, which was very bright in the gray haze.

The reddish-brown rope was assimilated and absorbed by the blue-black chain. At this moment, Egolia felt that the influence of the Dead Zone on her had disappeared.

"Hines, you..."

Egolia naturally also saw the no longer pure water element of Shines, and she recognized it at a glance as the power of the abyss.

"Let's talk about it when we get back. Now, let's deal with the dead zone first."

Seeing Egolia's worried look, Sines pounded his chest hard.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Afterwards, the two of them easily found the location of the "branch", which also proved that Shines's feeling was not wrong.

The so-called forbidden knowledge is likely to be the same thing as the abyss, at least in terms of pollution, there is no difference between the two.

But unfortunately, Hines's abyssal power was unable to destroy the 'branches', and even the power of the abyss was gradually merging into the 'branches'.

Hines looked around helplessly.

"It seems that to eliminate this thing, we still have to rely on the grass seeds that Tinari mentioned. Oh, I found it."

Hines pulled Egolia over to the grass seeds, reached out and touched them, and the emerald green grass seeds flew around them.

Hines tried to take back the power of the abyss. Fortunately, the grass seeds protected them from the invasion of the dead realm.

Hines casually threw out a chain made of water, and when it hit the "branch", a grass seed also flew over, and the "branch" shattered.

The mission was completed, and Sines took Egolia back in the direction they came from, where was the core of the entire Dead Zone, the Dead Zone Tumor.

When the two arrived, Ying and Tinari had already cleared out the monsters near the Death Tumor.

Looking at the gradually fading gray area, Xines smiled self-deprecatingly.

"It seems we are the slowest."

"No, thanks to your help, things are back to normal."

Tinari said thank you, but there was no joy on his face at having the crisis resolved.

Tinari looked around, his eyes full of confusion and worry.

Hines came over and asked casually,

"That's what you said, but you don't seem very happy?"

Tinari sighed and told about the recent frequent occurrences of the Dead Zone, and that the impact of the Dead Zone would not disappear immediately with the disappearance of the Dead Zone.

The recovery of life takes time.

The speed at which the dead zone appears even exceeds the time required for life to revive.

"...If this continues, the number of plants in the rainforest will continue to decline, affecting the ecological environment of the entire rainforest."

Tinari frowned as he spoke of this.

"Furthermore, Kelai's demonic lin disease seems to have become more serious with the frequent appearance of the dead zone..."

Tinari explained that the root cause of the emergence of the Dead Zone was the disease of the World Tree.

Although Tinari did not elaborate, both Shines and Egolia knew that the so-called disease referred to the contamination from forbidden knowledge.

When Egolia heard that Cole's demonic scale disease became more serious with the emergence of the dead zone, she couldn't help but think of Xines's conjecture last night.

Perhaps this conjecture is very close to or even the truth.

However, the pollution of forbidden knowledge is something that even the Tree King has not been able to solve, so what can I do?

Also, I must find out about the abyssal power in Hines when I get back!

After the problem in the dead zone was resolved, the group continued to pick herbs before returning to the camp.

Tinari, who had just returned to the camp, was attracted by a bird carrying a message. Through Tinari's translation, several people learned that this was a messenger sent by Hypatia to ask for help.

The reason for asking for help is that Hypatia is starving to death...

The task of delivering food was naturally assigned to the little yellow-haired boy, and the problem of the spiritual phenol fragrance that Ying was worried about had already been solved when she resonated with the grass god statue.

Tinari still needs to make medicine for Cole, Egolia still has something to ask Hines, Ying and Paimon go to rescue people, and everyone has a bright future.

After returning to the residence, Egolia pushed Xines directly onto the chair.

"Tell me, my dear family, why are you connected with the abyss?"

“It’s a long story…”

"Then let's make a long story short!"

Unfortunately, it couldn't be short. Sineus spread his hands helplessly and told the story of Erenus' invasion of Fontaineland.

"...In order to prevent the water source of Fontaine from being contaminated by the power of the abyss, I had to absorb it all into my body."

After Xines finished speaking, Egolia's eyes were still full of doubts.

"So how did you escape the influence of the Abyss and even harness its power? And your current strange state..."

Of course, Sines knew that he couldn't hide it from Egolia, but this matter...

"Egolia, regarding my current state, all you need to know is that I am still myself. Whether I was once a demon god or I am now a mortal, I have always been myself..."

"...As for the influence of the Abyss, I haven't completely eliminated it. The reason I'm able to maintain my sanity now is mainly due to the help of Barbatos. It is also thanks to his power that I have mastered the power of the Abyss."

Egolia was very dissatisfied with Xines's concealment. Regardless of his status, Xines should not have concealed anything from her, but...

"Well, since you're unwilling to speak clearly, I won't force you. I just hope that in the future, when you can speak these things, you can give me the truth and the reason for hiding it now."

Cineus stood up and embraced Egolia,

"Thank you, my dear god."
