An eight-year-old daughter saw her six-month-old mother return to her old ways for the first time.

"Are you the same?" The woman dressed as an archaeologist showed a hint of impatience, but on the surface she was very enthusiastic.

There's definitely something wrong with this woman.

Miss Fox's smile began to show genuine joy, and her snake tail started slapping things happily.

The snake's tail is showing!

"We are travelers passing through this place. We were curious about that barrier, so we came to take a look."

He pointed to the pillar with the reversed Indian pattern printed on it.

"Then we discovered that this seemed to be related to that barrier."

"Yes, you guessed right, this must be a mechanism related to the salt barrier in the earth!"

The woman dressed as an archaeologist nodded, agreeing with Miss Fox's statement.

But what she said sounded very strange.

In short, this person can't hide anything; before others have even done anything, he keeps giving himself away.

"My name is Wan Yan, and I am an archaeologist. I came here to try to break the salt barrier in the earth and uncover the true history of the salt god Heuria!"

This little girl is very interesting.

You could hear a hint of gritted teeth in his last few words.

She seemed afraid others wouldn't know her motives were impure.

The adventurer who was with her became wary after hearing her words.

He's probably already thinking about how to fool her and then run away.

"By the way, I hired this adventurer to trigger the mechanism here."

Wan Yan pointed to the cylinder and, pretending to be a scholar, began to explain it.

"This device is related to elements; it requires corresponding elements to activate..."

"like this!"

The adventurer, eager to escape, stopped Wanyan and then unleashed an electric shock at the pillar.

Just as Wanyan had said, the cylinder was activated by the lightning element.

"But, this doesn't seem like it's been activated, does it?"

Miss Fox reached out and poked the cylinder, then turned around and said.

The adventurer's discharge of electricity only made the thing light up, and that was it.

Moreover, the light only stayed on for a short while before quickly returning to normal.

"That's impossible, this should be the key..."

Wan Yan refused to believe it and pushed Miss Fox and Xilin aside, then went forward to check.

"It's probably broken, exposed to the elements in the wild for years." The adventurer glanced at a corner and said this without batting an eye.

In that corner, there was an identical cylinder.

"Let me try a few more times. If it really doesn't work, let's settle the payment. I'm in a hurry to do other tasks!"

I could sense the adventurer's determination to do a half-hearted job and run away.

This Wan Yan is extremely suspicious!

"Alright." Wanyan reluctantly got up and agreed to the adventurer's request.

After all, she knew that ordinary people couldn't generate electricity, so when faced with a mechanism that required lightning element to activate, she naturally had no choice but to compromise with the adventurer who could generate electricity.

"This mechanism is indeed activated. The reason it's not responding is probably because it needs something else to connect with it. Let's search the area; we're sure to find something!"

Wan Yan doesn't seem to be an archaeologist or a scholar.

But she knew a great deal about the salt in the earth, and something was quite wrong.

But Miss Fox just loves this kind of development!

Delve deeper, little by little, to uncover the secrets hidden within this person, and then appreciate her final fate.

This is just as pleasurable as spoiling the story for the natives!

It's just...

Miss Fox glanced at the adventurer who could generate electricity.

This guy, who's so focused on running away, is getting in the way.

It would be a waste of time to let him continue to hold us back.

After all, Wanyan and this guy are not equal in ability and cannot compete. Letting the guy make trouble will only end this "archaeological" project.

So after a brief consideration, Miss Fox decided to skip a part of the story.

"No need for that trouble, Miss Wanyan."

They stopped the guy who was trying to cause trouble.

Miss Fox struck a confident pose and pointed in the direction of the Salt Barrier.

"My companion has the ability to directly enter the barrier of the Salt of the Earth, and all you need is a small reward from you~"

The adventurer raised an eyebrow. Was this someone trying to steal his job?

That's great!

He really didn't want to serve this woman who was suspicious from head to toe!

I've been wanting to run away for a long time.

"If you need me, please stamp the power of attorney."

The adventurer simply took out a letter of commission.

Wanyan immediately looked at Miss Fox.

Clearly, she was doubting whether Miss Fox's words were true.

We can't just believe everything we hear, would that make her seem stupid?

Miss Fox smiled and clapped her hands to let her eight-year-old daughter start performing.

Forced to work, Celine immediately put on a cute little cat face.

It's ridiculous that the mother of the six-month-old baby is taking the blame when everyone was just enjoying the drama.

It's obvious that it can open the door by itself.

"Come on, little bug, show Miss Wanyan what a miracle really is!"

"Okay, okay..."

Life is tough, Xilin sighed.

Forced to work by a mother of a six-month-old, she raised her hand and delivered a powerful punch, opening a door in front of her.

Opposite them was a vast, empty cave.

You can hear the rushing sound of the waterfall.

By adjusting the angle, you can see what the barrier of the salt in the earth looks like.

Originating from the waterfall.

Upon seeing this scene, Wanyan's expression changed immediately, and she became extremely agitated.

"Alright, our employment relationship is officially terminated. Your mission is complete!"

Wan Yan took out a stamp and stamped it on the adventurer's request form.

He then dodged the adventurer and ran straight to Sirin.

"How much is the hiring fee? I'll pay it!"

And so, Wanyan terminated her employment relationship with the adventurer brother and formed a partnership with Miss Fox using gold.

As a result, the plot of solving the mystery was skipped with a single click.

There's absolutely no need to slowly watch or go through the plot!

"This...is the homeland of the people of the Salt God..."

As they ventured deeper into the cave and arrived at an underground city buried under a barrier, Wan Yan sighed in amazement.

His words were full of respect.

Miss Fox and Celine were both curious.

"Does this Liyue region not worship the Geo Archon?"

The snake is right.

In this city built by the Salt Demon, Wan Yan, the "archaeologist," felt like she was on a pilgrimage to a sacred site.

She showed no intention of doing anything befitting her public image.

"Excuse me, you might think I'm a bit strange."

It's more than just a little bit; didn't you notice that the guy was only focused on running away?

Miss Fox wiped away non-existent beads of sweat, remaining silent and pretending to be an expert.

Wan Yan was unaware.

After stepping into this place, she seemed to be elevated, and she became completely open and relaxed.

"What I'm about to say, could you please keep it a secret?"

No, girl, you trust people so easily?

If I'm not mistaken, we didn't even spend a full hour together.

Are you going to expose yourself next?!

"Actually, I am not a subject of the Rock King... the Rock Demon God Morax!"

Wan Yan took the lead and walked ahead into the city ruins, beginning her explanation as she went.

His words were tinged with hatred.

Möbius: "What's this? After years of forbearance, the goal has been achieved, so this is an outburst of intense urge to speak out?"

indeed.

Having endured hardship and bided his time for many years, he finally succeeded and naturally wanted the world to know how much suffering and grievance he had endured.

Miss Fox just gave perfunctory "uh-huhs" and "okays," observing the salt sculptures along the road.

Exquisite details, lifelike expressions.

Each of the salt sculptures truly resembles a group of people who were salted while trying to escape the city.

But then again, with so much salt spilled on the road, it's no wonder it's called the Salt Demon God; it's certainly not short of salt.

"I am a descendant of the people of the powerful Salt Goddess Heuria, the Salt Goddess... who was once a powerful Goddess not to be underestimated in the Demon God War of Liyue!"

Wanyan, who was in front of me, was still saying these words, full of a fangirl's longing for her idol.

Her gaze seemed to ignore the salt men, continuing straight ahead toward the palace and the deepest part of the underground city.

As for her statement that the Salt Demon is a powerful being that cannot be ignored in the Demon God War, she is a different story.

Miss Fox expressed her doubts.

Because the burial place of the Salt Demon God is in this city.

Furthermore, the aura of only the Salt Demon God exists throughout the entire underground city.

Unlike other places in Liyue where the burial sites of the Demon Gods are located, this place is not bizarrely situated with an unusual terrain, nor is it sealed by something that was either the Geo Archon or a Celestial under the Geo Archon.
