Chapter 439 The Loom of Destiny
Chapter 439 The Loom of Destiny
After putting on a good show in front of others, Jiang Xun was in a good mood and walked towards Liyue Harbor. However, on the way, he spotted a familiar figure. The man in front of him was dressed in black. If it was night, he must be a top killer in the dark.
But unfortunately, it is daytime now, and if this kind of attire is seen by the Qianyan Army passing by, it will definitely be scrutinized, and it may also be suspected to be a new type of uniform of the treasure-stealing group.
The dark figure seemed to notice someone was looking at him, and then slowly turned around. The left half of his face was covered by a mask, revealing his azure blue eyes with a hint of ink-black. These eyes were looking into Jiang Xun's eyes.
Dainsleb was somewhat surprised by the newcomer. He did not expect to meet him here.
Then his gaze turned to the little dragon lying on Jiang Xun's shoulder. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that this little dragon was very familiar, but he didn't ask.
"meet again."
Dainsleib greeted in a low voice, and Jiang Xun nodded in response. He looked behind him, somewhat curious about what he was doing here.
"Let me guess, are you conducting some kind of research?"
The reason he asked this was because he felt that the other person did not look like someone who would wander around, especially since he was wearing all black in broad daylight, which gave people the feeling of a thief.
"I guess so. The last time we met, I should have told you something about myself."
"You mean, the Abyss Cult?"
Upon hearing this, Deinsreb nodded in acknowledgement. The Abyss Cult was a trap designed to attract Deinsreb.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's find it quickly!"
Jiang Xun's calm expression suddenly became excited, which made Dainsleb look a little strange.
Why do I feel like you are more excited than me?
This abnormal behavior immediately made him a little suspicious, but in fact Jiang Xun just felt that he had found new fun. The Abyss Cult had not appeared for a long time, and if they didn't do something interesting, Jiang Xun would have thought that they had all gone to serve the Abyss.
Now that I finally have some traces, I must have some good work to do, and this good work must be very interesting, and it may even bring me some substantial benefits.
"Ahem, don't look at me like that. After all, you gave me the information I wanted last time. This time, it's my turn to help you. It's considered as repaying the favor you did me last time."
Jiang Xun's explanation dispelled Dainsleb's doubts, because the longer he lived, the more he knew the value of debts of favor. After all, they were not like ordinary people whose lifespans were only a hundred years. But the older the existence, the more they cared about these things.
I guess this guy has been thinking about how to repay this debt...
But in fact, someone was just making excuses for himself. If he had not met the other person, he would not have remembered that he still owed the debt.
"Okay, I found a little clue, follow me."
Dainsleb dispelled his doubts and immediately followed the breath of the abyss. The dark figure chased all the way, raising gusts of wind wherever he passed.
Dainsleib’s strength was not weak, at least that was what Jiang Xun thought. His speed was naturally quite fast as well, and he disappeared from sight in almost the blink of an eye.
Then, Jiang Xun took a step and followed.
Two blurry figures flew past so quickly that it was impossible to see clearly what they were. And because of this, it only took them an hour to leave Liyue. They were now in a lush forest, right in the Xumi territory.
"what happened?"
Jiang Xun saw that the former stopped and thought he was tired, but he saw that his breathing was steady and his face was normal, and he did not look like he needed a rest. And this was indeed the case. Dainsleb did not reply immediately, but slowly squatted down and looked at the ground, picked up a handful of soil and rubbed it in his hands.
"The trace disappeared..."
The soil turned into fine sand and flowed out from between his fingers. Dainsleb looked around, searching for clues to continue.
But Jiang Xun always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell exactly what it was.
"Maybe the Abyss Cult is hiding their tracks to prevent tracking. Let's move forward and look for them."
However, Dai Yin reacted quickly. Perhaps he had encountered this situation many times before, so he had a way to deal with it. But now, he could only look for other clues.
As the two figures continued to move forward, they came to a forest, but the strange thing was that there were wild animals everywhere, but no trace of humans.
"Dain, do you notice anything wrong?"
Logically speaking, this should be the forest ranger's work area. It is impossible that we have walked for so long and there is not even a single person in sight.
"A little, but I can't tell."
Dainsleb nodded, obviously he also realized that something was wrong.
At this moment, a long-lost voice sounded in Jiang Xun's mind.
Quest: The Loom of Fate
The eight-year-old child fell asleep in the land before he could experience the beauty of the world. In the end, only a lingering obsession remained in him. Please, host, help the obsession escape the fate of extinction.
Ren Li: Unknown
Penalty: None
Yes/No Accept
Jiang Xun couldn't help but be delighted by the arrival of the mission. It turned out that there were benefits to be gained by following along. As for this mission, he naturally had no reason to refuse. Who wouldn't want to get more rewards?
Jiang Xun suppressed the change in expression on his face to prevent the guy next to him from noticing something and read the mission description carefully. He had heard of the Loom of Destiny mentioned there.
However, not only has this system become stingy with rewards and no longer distributes them in advance, but now it has even cut corners on task descriptions!
If I get a chance to find out where this guy came from in the future, I'll report it to the higher-ups.
"Dyne, do you think there is a possibility that this is the loom of fate?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dainsleb's face darkened. He looked at Jiang Xun hesitantly, then lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
Finally, he uttered: "It's possible."
"Any ideas?"
Hearing this, Dainsleb looked a little solemn. After hearing Jiang Xun's reminder, he obviously realized something. He glanced at the latter and slowly said, "This is the plan that the Abyss Cult has been carrying out all along. They have done a lot of things for this, including the remains of the demon god, the reversed statue, and a carrier."
"And now, the loom of destiny is only one step away from being completely completed. That is the eye of the world's first tiller, and it is in my hands."
As he continued to speculate in his mind, Dainsleb's face gradually became serious. He knew that he had fallen into a trap. The reason he was able to find clues was because they were baits deliberately left by the Abyss Cult.
The purpose is to lure him out and get the last material.
Because only he knows where that thing is.
"We are probably trapped now, and this is most likely the power of the loom of fate."
"It's interesting that it has this power even before it's fully formed."
Listening to the other party's explanation, Jiang Xun suddenly became interested.
"But it's still a little bit short."
Then, Jiang Xun took out Phobos from the space behind him, flicked his finger lightly on it, a crisp sound was heard, and he secretly cast the Word of Truth, and then spider-web-like cracks appeared in the space before him.
Another sound was heard, and this space was completely shattered. The bright sky seemed to be torn apart, and it completely disappeared the next moment, replaced by a full moon.
"It's night time? Then let's find a bed first."
After saying that, Jiang Xun put away Phobos and walked forward slowly under Dainsreb's somewhat shocked gaze.
