Genshin Impact: Reject Camera, Replace Traveler

Chapter 326: A secret base hidden deep in the underground cave

It was not very intuitive to confess in dry words, so Abei Shao took Gu Chen and the others directly to the lair where he was causing trouble.

This lair is none other than the underground cave in the Sleeping Dragon Valley that contains Durin's heart.

When Abe Shao led everyone into this constant temperature underground cave with a red glow, everyone was shocked and confused.

The most shocking thing is indeed the huge heart that seems to be still beating.

Standing in this underground cave, Eula observed her surroundings while muttering to herself in shock:

“I didn’t know there was such a place in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain.

I'm obviously quite familiar with the environment of the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain."

Albedo looked around and explained:

“I do know that this place contains the heart of Durin. After all, I have been monitoring the ecological integration of Durin and the snowy mountains.

But this place is really hidden, and it is really hard for ordinary people to find it."

Paimeng floated beside Gu Chen. She looked at the huge red heart and felt a little panicked for some reason.

"That...that heart is..."

Gu Chen also stared at the huge heart, his expression was relatively calm:

"The heart of the demon dragon Durin?"

"Is it really the heart of the Demonic Dragon Durin?!"

Paimon shook his head in disbelief:

"If their heart is this big, how big must the real dragon Durin be?

I feel like the soul of the demon dragon Durin that you blew up earlier wasn't that big."

Gu Chen spread his hands:

“So, I think there’s something wrong with the soul of the Demon Dragon Durin.

If the size of the soul was the same as the original body, the soul of the Demon Dragon Durin would have been extremely large.

This can be guessed from the huge skeleton in the Sleeping Dragon Valley.

But the actual soul form of the Demon Dragon Durin is not that big."

Albedo, who was walking in front, turned around and glanced at Gu Chen:

"I'm afraid I'll have to ask Master Abe about this."

Gu Chen nodded:

"Well, after all, he was the one who created the soul body of the Demon Dragon Durin."

Eula, Paimon, Gu Chen, and Albedo, these were the reactions of the four of them.

As for the remaining Xiangling, Shenhe, and Rosalind, their reactions were similar, either very shocked or relatively calm.

Walking in the huge underground cave, Gu Chen looked at Abei Shao who was walking in front and leading the way for everyone, and he shouted:

"Master Abe, where exactly is your secret base? Isn't it this cave?"

As he walked forward, Abe Shao explained without turning his head:

"Not just this cave, my secret base is hidden somewhere deeper."

After saying that, he took a few steps forward.

When Abe Shao came to an ordinary-looking stone wall, he reached out and began to tap gently on the stone wall.

While knocking, he also listened carefully to the feedback sound from the stone wall.

Everyone who followed him just watched his movements quietly, and the cave was very quiet for a while.

After knocking a few times, suddenly the sound of Abe's knocking changed. The feedback sound from knocking on the stone wall had a faint echo.

Gu Chen and Albedo's expressions changed slightly.

Could it be that there is another cave behind the place where Abe Shao knocked?

As if confirming their two guesses, after confirming the location, Abe Shao began to search carefully, looking for something on the stone wall.

Soon, he found a seemingly natural crack in the stone wall.

Finally, he inserted his ten fingers into the crack and pushed it sideways with both hands.

With a loud bang... a stone door was pulled open by him!

Behind the stone gate, there seems to be another passage leading to an unknown place!

Seeing this scene, everyone looked at each other, and Gu Chen looked at Albedo with complicated eyes.

The look in his eyes made it clear:

Don’t you know there is a stone door here?

Albedo's eyes are innocent:

I really don't know about this. This stone door is hidden too well, and I don't come to this cave often. Who can find out that there is anything unusual?

After thinking about it carefully, Gu Chen felt that it was right.

With Abe Shao's means, if he really wanted to hide, it would be difficult for others to discover him.

What's more, the position chosen by Abe really feels like a dark place under a lamp.

Who could have imagined that he was so bold as to set up his secret base near the heart of Durin?

The most dangerous place is the safest place, he really understands this.

On the other side, after Abe Shao opened the stone door, he proudly showed it to everyone:

"Behind this door is my secret base. Everyone, please come in!"

Albedo nodded and wanted to go over first.

However, at this time, Xiangling suddenly had a different opinion:

"Wait! Why should we trust you?

Who knows where this stone door leads to?

What if it's some terrible trap? Wouldn't we be walking into it then?"

Xiangling's words made Shen He, who was about to take a step, pause.

After thinking about it, she felt that Xiangling's words made sense.

Standing next to the stone gate, Abei Shao crossed his arms, his expression even a little arrogant:

"I understand that you don't trust me, after all, I was the one who planned all these things.

But now, with the help of Gu Chen, my heart knot has been resolved. I am no longer obsessed with killing Albedo and I am no longer targeting you.

Don't you want to find out what I'm planning?

My plan is in there.

Little girl who cooks, there is no need for you to be so afraid. After all, isn't Gu Chen here?

I can't guess how strong he is.

Given his strength, even if it's a trap or dangerous, you shouldn't be afraid, right?"

You know what, what Abe said was quite straightforward.

Following his statement, Xiangling scratched her head and felt that it seemed to be quite right.

However, out of caution, she still looked at Gu Chen and asked for his opinion:

"Gu Chen, what do you think?"

Gu Chen's expression was convincing:

"Don't worry, no one can turn the tables with me here."

Shen He's expression was full of trust:

"Well, I believe you."

In that case, there's no problem.

Everyone planned to go in and find out what was inside the stone door opened by Master Abe.

Albedo was talented and courageous, and he was the first to walk in.

Following closely behind was Eula, then Xiangling, Shenhe, Rosaline, and finally Gu Chen with Paimon.

Oh, by the way, Abe Shao is also following Gu Chen.

Gu Chen might be planning to take Abe Shao with him to cover the retreat.

With him watching over everyone at the end, accidents are less likely to happen.

The group walked in the passage like this.

Not long after walking, the view ahead suddenly opened up, and it was obviously another huge underground cave!

There are many luminous plants and luminous minerals in the underground cave, so the light inside is quite good.

Taking advantage of the light, everyone looked at the situation inside in surprise.

The space inside is not small, about two-thirds the size of the cave outside.

The point is not the size of the cave, but the variety of things piled up in it.
