"Tick tock."

Water droplets fell along the stalactites hanging from the cave ceiling, making a crisp sound.

The cave was very dark, but the unknown little flowers in the vegetation on both sides emitted bursts of strange purple light, making the scenery inside the cave look a bit scary.

Under the purple light, something similar to the root system of earth veins can be faintly seen.

The cave was very quiet, except for the sound of the two walking, and the sound of water dripping.

Maybe someone will say.

It is obviously an underground cave that does not see sunlight all year round. How could there be vegetation?

It can only be said that everything in the continent of Teyvat cannot be interpreted according to our common sense, but everything is possible here.

But there is so much vegetation in this boundary... It should be because of these huge tree roots.

But the so-called root system of earth veins is not rigorous.

Because they came here to purify the roots of the sacred cherry tree, it is self-evident what these things are.

"This is it. Stand far away and don't touch anything here. I'm going to pray."

Taking out the royal coin pinned there from the waist, the soldier looked at Bai Luo with a warning look and said aloud.

Then, he walked to a nearby place similar to a shrine, placed the royal coins in his hand in front of the small shrine, and began the purification ceremony.

"Buzz——"

After the skirmishers began the purification ceremony, all the shrines covered by vegetation in the cave lit up. In the flash of lightning, a torii gradually appeared on the roots of the sacred cherry tree.

Although it is entangled with twisted tree roots, it has remained standing for thousands of years, suppressing the filth on the roots of the sacred cherry tree.

"Have you solved the barrier in Konta Village?"

Seeing the skirmishers standing in front of the torii, pointing out soldiers and generals, gesticulating something on the barrier, Bai Luo asked.

"What do you think? And... don't disturb me when I'm praying. The nodes of this barrier are very complicated. If you make a slight mistake, you have to start it all over again, which is very troublesome."

Withdrawing his hand and looking at Bai Luo dissatisfied, the soldier said.

The degree of caution is like an old player who went to the new world to help solve a puzzle and saw a new player follow him to solve the puzzle.

Obviously, as long as you attack those blocks in a certain order, you can successfully solve the puzzle.

As a result, Xiao Mengxin had to volunteer to help, disrupting the original rhythm of the blocks and raising blood pressure.

"Since we have solved it in Konta Village, it shouldn't be that difficult, right?"

Touching the roots of the thunder cherry tree hanging next to him, Bai Luo sat on it and asked as if he was watching a show.

"What do you know? The nodes of this barrier need to be solved through extremely precise calculations and practice, and the nodes between the barriers are also different. I solved it just underground in Kontian Village.

It took two and a half months. This one is even more complicated than the first one. Who knows how long it will take to solve it?"

"..."

Bai Luo, who originally looked like he was watching a show, suddenly fell silent after hearing what the soldiers said.

Two and a half months? That thing takes that long?

Did you learn to sing and dance rap there? Or learn to play basketball?

The most important thing is that when he said that it took him "only" two and a half months to unlock the nodes on the barrier, he seemed very proud.

That provocative look seemed to be asking Bai Luo.

【Can you do it?】

Holding his forehead, Bai Luo seemed to understand why Hua Sanli and his soldiers lived in that abandoned shrine.

If he remembered correctly, there was also a treasure in that shrine.

If you want to get the treasure, you have to solve a lot of puzzles.

Even though the puzzles here are not so...interconnected compared to those in the game, they are not something that can be solved by just a few soldiers.

It is estimated that Hua Sanli opened a back door for him and assisted him in completing the process of obtaining the treasure.

Otherwise... let alone two and a half months, even if the stragglers stay in Daozhi for two and a half years, they will probably still be stuck in the process of obtaining town objects.

"How about I do it?"

Seeing the skirmishers standing in front of the barrier calculating nodes, Bai Luo sighed and said.

First of all, he didn't want to spend another two and a half months with the skirmishers.

Secondly... Skirmisher's violent temper makes him unsuitable for solving puzzles.

Didn’t you see that after being interrupted twice by Bai Luo, your hair was about to explode?

"Are you coming? Do you know the techniques of blessing? Do you understand the purification ritual? Do you know how to calculate the nodes of the barrier? Don't forget who is the leader of this ceremony!"

Regarding Bai Luo's behavior of usurping the guest and taking the lead, the soldiers immediately expressed their dissatisfaction.

It's obviously just a redundant guy. He just stands aside and acts as a thug. He must come out to refresh his sense of presence.

Bringing humiliation to oneself.

"How about a father-son game?"

The skirmisher's condescending expression made Bai Luo laugh angrily. He rolled up his sleeves and jumped down from the tree root, with a look like "I'm going to fight you!"

"Father and Son Bureau? What is that?"

After hearing this unfamiliar vocabulary, the skirmisher frowned slightly and asked aloud.

"To put it simply, let's make a bet. If I untie this barrier at once, you will recognize me as your father. If I can't untie it, I will recognize you as your father."

Bai Luo said with his hands folded in front of his chest.

"Such a big deal? Are you sure?"

Bai Luo's speaking speed was a bit fast, but this did not prevent the soldiers from hearing clearly the contents of the bet.

To put it simply, the so-called father-son game means whoever wins is the father?

If it were something else, he would still hesitate.

But he had solved the knots of the barrier before and knew how complicated the process was, so he... was moved.

It's not unusual to beat up this guy Bai Luo, but if you can let this bastard call you daddy, you can at least show off in front of ten executives when you go back.

"Well......"

After the skirmisher said these three words, "Are you sure?", Bai Luo showed a hesitant expression on his face.

He seemed to also know how serious the consequences of doing so would be.

"Okay, I promise you."

After seeing Bai Luo's hesitation, the soldiers did not hesitate to interrupt what the other person was about to say.

If Hua Sanli was present, or those who had dealt with Bai Luo were present, they must have started praying for him.

Because Bai Luo was so obvious about digging holes, even the guy Dadalia had to hesitate before jumping in.

Skirmisher actually jumped in on his own initiative. After entering, he didn't forget to dig some soil to bury himself.

It is tantamount to saying that one's escape route has been completely blocked.

"That's not good?"

Seeing that the skirmishers had agreed, Bai Luo actually showed signs of retreating.

He seemed to regret it.

"What's wrong? I find it very interesting."

The more Bai Luo retreats, the more aggressive the skirmishers become.

Now, he has taken the initiative in this bet into his own hands.

"You did this voluntarily, I didn't force you."

After feeling the provocation from the skirmishers, Bai Luo was determined again.

"Yes, I volunteered, and you and I are both willing."

After following Bai Luo's words, the soldiers were suddenly stunned for a moment.
