Chapter 45: Bad First Encounter with Green Bird

"So strong..."

With the pressure suddenly relieved, Xingqiu supported his exhausted body and blurred mind, looked at the figure in the distance, and murmured softly.

No wonder Mr. Ran didn't say anything about their choice from beginning to end. With such strength, it would be easy to suppress these evil spirits.

What I said before about the possibility of danger was probably just to raise their vigilance and use their full strength to deal with the enemy.

As expected, as a businessman, Mr. Ran does not look like someone who would take uncertain risks.

Xingqiu gripped the sword tightly and swung it behind him. Before this, he regarded Mr. Ran as a business elder whose methods and style were worthy of his admiration and learning. After this, the white figure had completely occupied his imagination of the knight.

Raise your hands to destroy enemies, slay demons and monsters, save people from fire and water... Perhaps this is the image of the great hero that I will pursue in the future.

"When you raise your sword, concentrate your mind, pay attention to the direction of the enemy, pay attention to your body movements, the coordination of your steps and sword techniques, let your steps follow the sword, and make the sword fast and heavy."

Yiran put down the fan in his hand, stopped attacking, and took a few steps back, while speaking to Chongyun who was looking at the monster with shock in his eyes.

"yes!"

Realizing that Mr. Ran was teaching him, Chongyun quickly got into position, calmed his emotions, concentrated his mind, and prepared to take the initiative to attack, drawing his sword and swinging at the remaining evil spirits.

On top of a tall birch tree by the river, Xiao frowned and half-knelt on a branch, suppressing the movement that had originally been prepared to sneak up and kill into the group of demons.

Five minutes ago, in Wangshu Inn.

Originally, he was resting on the bed in the room while looking at the peaceful scenery outside the window, using the fork in his hand to cut the half of the slime almond pudding left on the plate.

He had been to Liyue Harbor once and had a meeting with Liuyunjiefeng, Lishuidieshan, and Xueyuezhuyang. In the end, they all came to the same conclusion that they did not believe that the Rock King would really be murdered, let alone that he was killed by a mortal.

But Qixing has a strange attitude towards this matter. He hid his immortal body and even slandered the foreign travelers. Now Tianquan has summoned the travelers to the Qun Yu Pavilion... I don't know what his intention is.

In short, the final plan of the immortals is to wait for the traveler to return from the Qun Yu Pavilion, and then bring the attitude and information of those seeking justice to decide whether to bring charges against the Seven Stars and the current administrators of Liyue.

Since the waiting time was too long and Xiao could not live in a crowded place for a long time, he chose to return to Wangshu Inn first, and then rely on Liuyun's voice transmission to rush back to Liyue Harbor.

At this time, he was still thinking leisurely: the almond tofu made by Yanxiao before tasted very good... Actually, there is nothing that needs to be improved.

Although he had said that he wanted to try the Slime Almond Pudding, he soon realized that the pudding that Kong sent must have been blessed by the Master Yin Yuan Ta Wu, so he could see those beautiful moments that were like a dream.

But asking Yanxiao to make an identical one is really a bit difficult.

However, the chef seemed to have always been convinced that his cooking skills were not good enough and that was why he failed to make food that satisfied him, so he had been trying to improve the food over and over again before serving it to him for him to taste.

Xiao helplessly used his fork to poke at the remaining half of the pudding. Suddenly, an extremely terrifying and powerful evil aura began to condense, as if all the evil spirits were moving towards a desolate place in the wilderness of Dihuazhou.

His expression changed instantly and he looked up suddenly. The fork in his hand had fallen into the plate. He placed the plate on the bedside table with one hand and grabbed the iris on the bed with the other hand.

With a flash, he jumped out of the window and dashed in the air three times.

A green light flashed, and Xiao disappeared from the spot, teleporting to a long distance away.

However, the destination is still a long way away, and without anchors and contracts set on specific humans, he is currently unable to achieve teleportation that ignores distance and time.

Xiao ran and sprinted at full speed towards the gathering place of evil spirits with a cold expression on his face, thinking:

Why does this happen?

Generally speaking, the remnants of the demon god are scattered throughout different corners of Liyue, existing in various forms. They may transform into ghosts, lurking in the caves of Mount Fuxian, causing trouble for decades, or they may transform into plagues and disasters, harming the world for more than a hundred years.

Therefore, some forms of demonic resentment cannot even be resolved simply by force, and we have to find other ways.

And now, it was as if all those hidden ghosts, diseases and disasters had turned into energy like the black mist left after the devil's death, and were gathering madly towards Ogihua Island.

What happened there?

Based on his own perception, although those energies are still far inferior to the strength of the remaining power of the demon god after his death, if they erupt, they will either turn into groups of demons and spread again, directly endangering the surrounding settlements and Wangshu Inn.

Either it turns into radiation that destroys the entire terrain nearby, and then turns that place into a contaminated area that no one can approach.

The most important thing is that it is close to a river, and it would be terrible if the water was polluted...

Xiao concentrated his mind and used the power of the wind element once again. With the flash of green light, he disappeared and reappeared, rapidly shrinking the distance between the two points.

When he arrived near the scene and vaguely saw the groups of monsters, he breathed a sigh of relief. This place was remote enough and there was no sign of human habitation. This was already the best case scenario.

It just takes a little more time to eliminate them all - this is what Xiao is best at and his only job.

But when he got closer, he found that in the center of the monster's encirclement were three young boys and girls in an attacking posture, talismans that were gradually dissipating, and a white-haired man who was retreating to the river.

Instead of approaching rashly, Xiao chose to temporarily stop on a big tree nearby to observe the situation.

As expected...the demons were summoned by these humans themselves.

But... judging from the ability to gather all forms of demon residual energy and transform it into monsters, Xiao has some doubts as to whether the other party is human or not.

At least he knew that it would be difficult for humans to control such means even with talismans. Even if they really did it, they would probably not be able to withstand the impact of such power with their mortal bodies.

Whether it is physical or spiritual.

So what puzzled Xiao was that the white-haired man not only used the talisman to do all this, but also calmly retreated from the center of the battlefield as if nothing had happened.

What's even more puzzling is that from the way the man controlled the water to repel the evil spirits, it can be seen that he is quite powerful, and he doesn't seem to be in a hostile relationship with the remaining three humans.

However, after repelling the evil spirits and observing the route, he fled the battlefield, leaving three younger humans who were quite strong but obviously inexperienced to deal with the horde of monsters.

Xiao's favorability towards the white-haired man instantly dropped to freezing point.

No matter what the reason is, gathering monsters and not destroying them, or even deliberately putting your companions in danger, is definitely not a good behavior.

There was no sign of the monsters spreading, and the purpose of these humans was still unclear, so Xiao did not act rashly.

I just watched the human sweeping away the demons around him like sweeping the floor, while leisurely finding a good vantage point to observe the children fighting hard.

The man even glanced in the direction of Xiao. I don't know if he also saw the big tree as a good observation point, but in the end he gave up and just stood on the ground outside the monster.

“…”

Xiao held the Iris, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

The situation became more and more critical, and the blue-haired human alchemist was about to fall into danger. Xiao moved his fingers and was about to kill the monster, but a soft aqua-blue barrier suddenly blocked his route.

He stopped and looked at the white-haired man on the ground.

The other person was also looking in his direction, blinking his eyes innocently, with a natural expression, as if he had done nothing.

Xiao was a little angry, and he and Pu Yi made a strong slash. The soft barrier in front of them immediately began to dissipate, but it did not seem to be broken by the wind element. Instead, it disappeared on the spot as if it was coaxing someone, following his strength.

When he wanted to rush to rescue the situation, the Taoist priest had already broken through the surrounding attack like a burning sun. In the blink of an eye, most of the demons on the weekend suddenly moved away from the young man and fled in all directions.

The white-haired man finally stopped being indifferent. He approached the alchemist and taught him how to adjust his body movements and use the two-handed sword.

? Xiao's expression became even colder.

If I guessed correctly, the physique that can repel all evil spirits should be the legendary pure yang body that is hard to come by in a thousand years. So this white-haired man is relying on his companion's special physique to dare to summon so many demons?

So the purpose of summoning so many monsters is to train these young people and teach them swordsmanship and gun skills? ?

Xiao's impression of men became even worse.

Although he roughly understood... the man was holding himself back so that the human alchemist could use some method to control his physical condition in a crisis.

But let’s not talk about the difficulty of eliminating such an irresponsible gathering of demons. Allowing humans to come into close contact with the remnants of demons on a large scale for a long time will definitely lead to mental erosion and torture.

...just like myself.

Xiao's icy golden pupils looked towards the evil spirit ten meters away, and then glanced at Yiran.

[Do you want to let them flee like this? ]

Before the doubts in his heart could fully erupt, Yiran had already raised his hand. In that second, the swarm of demons in the distance exploded instantly, and water mist covered the entire venue, flooding over the three young men, and a few wisps of water vapor floated around Xiao.

Under the extremely powerful healing power of the mist, the corrosion on Xingqiu and Xiangling was completely cleansed, and even Xiao vaguely felt that the karma in his body was relieved a little...

He was stunned, slowly raised his hand, and touched the mist with his fingertips, which immediately dissipated. The years of pain eliminated a trace of beauty, just like the beautiful dream brought by the slime almond pudding that day, which are things that can only be touched lightly and not thought about deeply.

Xiao looked at the four humans who had already wiped out four-fifths of the demons, and felt an indescribable strange feeling in his heart - this should have been his mission, his sole responsibility, he had not expected that these humans would create such a source of danger and would actually find a way to solve it perfectly.

The favorable impression she had of the white-haired man, which had originally reached freezing point, suddenly shrank, just hanging in the air, and then gradually warmed up.

Whether it was this terrifying strength that could be compared to his or the means of purifying the remnants of the demon god, it proved that the other party could indeed control the situation perfectly, and he was just worrying too much.

Xiao thought silently.

After witnessing with his own eyes how Ran taught the three youngsters swordsmanship and marksmanship, how he dealt with the remaining monsters, and how he cleaned up the area, Xiao finally felt relieved. He took a last deep look at the reliable adult who was surrounded by the crowd and was soothing everyone's emotions with a faint smile.

Then he put away his weapon and quietly disappeared from the scene.

At the same time, Yiran raised his head and looked in the direction of Xiao in the distance.

The three little ones turned back subconsciously, but saw nothing.

Xingqiu was puzzled: "Is there anything over there, Mr. Ran?"

"ah……"

Yiran shook his head and explained with a chuckle:

"Nothing, just a little green bird."

"Let's go, it's time for us to go to Wangshu Inn."
