"Forget it, more than what a Star Core Hunter does... I'm more concerned about how you ended up in this coffin..." Hu Tao clapped her hands and said.
"I..."
Zhou Xiao pondered the question for a moment.
"I have no idea..."
"You don't know? You can't not know... I took money from them for the coffin, and now the deceased is gone, the coffin exploded, how am I supposed to go back and explain this to them..." Hu Tao sighed, indicating that the situation was very tricky.
A coffin can be replaced if it explodes, but if the deceased is gone... where do you find them again?
"What does this have to do with me?" Zhou Xiao said, indicating that he hadn't done anything.
"It has nothing to do with you... but you're lying in a coffin." Hu Tao said, "The fact that you're lying here... it must be related to you..."
"I see..." Zhou Xiao responded calmly, then said to Hu Tao, "Do you think... the coffin lid is more important to me... or the deceased who was originally lying here, or you?"
"Hmm... a coffin lid?" Hu Tao asked tentatively after thinking for a moment.
"No."
"Then the deceased who was lying here wasn't your... relative, was it?"
No, not exactly.
"That...is me?" Hu Tao took a half step back upon realizing this, as she didn't remember ever seeing Zhou Xiao before.
"You, the coffin lid, the person who originally lay here—none of these matter to me. Why should I care?" Zhou Xiao shook his head, then slowly walked towards the slightly brighter area ahead.
"???"
"Hey...you're messing with me, aren't you?" Hu Tao realized what was going on and understood that Zhou Xiao was calling her stupid, so she followed him.
Outside the cave.
This is a hillside. At this moment, Zhou Xiao stands on the high ground in the night, looking down at the environment below. There are trees, grasslands, lakes... and even more mountains in the distance.
Um.
The scenery is beautiful.
It's just that Zhou Xiao being naked is a bit...unseemly.
Which planet is this?
Zhou Xiao instinctively searched for any communication device, only to find himself completely naked.
Forget about cell phones... we don't even have a pair of underwear.
Just as he was questioning the meaning of life, Hu Tao caught up with him from the cave.
"you..."
Do you have any extra clothes?
"Huh?" Hu Tao caught up with Zhou Xiao and was taken aback by his question.
"We don't have proper clothes right now... how about funeral clothes?"
“...”
"It doesn't matter, the clothes are fine." Zhou Xiao didn't care about any of that...
“I can give it to you… but you have to promise to explain what happened today to me…” Hu Tao said, hands on her hips.
Zhou Xiao remained silent for a moment.
He had no idea what was going on... but he nodded so he could change his clothes first.
"Can..."
A moment later.
Zhou Xiao appeared outside the cave wearing a burial shroud that didn't quite fit his body. Compared to the chilly wind that had just chilled his genitals, having clothes to wear was obviously much better...
"Um...it's the first time I've seen a living person wearing funeral clothes, it's a bit unusual..." Hu Tao chuckled awkwardly, then added, "It looks a little small...it's alright, once we get to the city, I'll find you some other clothes...the guest elder should have some suitable ones..."
In the city...
Zhou Xiao caught those two words again.
Cities represent densely populated areas, which can also help him understand his current location more quickly.
"Um..."
Zhou Xiao nodded and followed Hu Tao back to Liyue City.
The words "in the wilderness," "in the desolate wilderness," "alone man and woman" clearly indicate that something sparks are about to happen.
And indeed, things did turn out a bit differently, just as we had imagined...
They encountered a little... trouble.
Before them stood a massive, rock-covered creature with a host of minions blocking their path.
Anyone who's played a certain two-character game knows... this thing is called the Hilichurl King, which is considered a monster by the people of Liyue...
"Today's almanac is bad...it's not a good day to go out." The moment these monsters caught up with her, Hu Tao thought to herself, "Today is truly an unlucky day."
"They...are very strong?" Zhou Xiao didn't sense any danger from them.
Perhaps it's because his strength has now reached an unfathomable level.
"Strong... well, not really, just a bit tricky. Don't move from here, I'll deal with them first." As Hu Tao spoke, she transformed into a long spear.
Do you need my help?
"you?"
"Can you do it?"
"?"
Zhou Xiao didn't say much, and the power of original sin condensed into a scarlet sphere in his palm...
The instant the sphere appeared, a wave of energy emanating from Zhou Xiao swept across the entire grassland...
go...
With a deft movement, Zhou Xiao tossed the small ball of concentrated power into the horde of Hilichurls.
One second.
Two seconds.
As the small ball instantly expanded, a massive hemispherical object enveloped the wilderness where they were, and the intense red light blinded Hu Tao and the other monsters.
The powerful shockwave easily destroyed everything in its path...
The dust settled.
Walnut slowly opened her eyes.
My hair?
what happened?
As far as the eye could see, the plain they stood on had now become a basin, and for the creatures standing above it, below the giant crater, it was undoubtedly as if they were standing in the sky...
"It's actually quite easy to solve..."
Zhou Xiao's untimely remark brought Hu Tao back to reality from her shock. Hu Tao turned around and looked at Zhou Xiao, who was dressed in an inappropriate funeral shroud.
"This...you made this?"
"Didn't you ask me if it would work? What do you think...?"
Hearing Zhou Xiao's answer, Hu Tao gasped.
punishment!
That's too much torture!
The monsters are gone...that's true, but what's with this deep pit?
What kind of attack could produce this effect?
A demon god?
Hu Tao thought it was outrageous.
"No... if you're so amazing, why are you lying on someone else's coffin lid?"
“I’ll reiterate… I had no idea, and I don’t know why I was lying there…” Zhou Xiao emphasized.
"Okay, okay... If you're so good, then use a slightly more normal approach to deal with monsters... Look at what you've done... Look how many flowers and plants you've damaged." Hu Tao thought it was too exaggerated.
"Am I... not normal?" Zhou Xiao asked, puzzled.
He felt he had only used a basic attack, without actually using any skills...
He hadn't anticipated that his basic attack would be hit by the force of a strategic nuclear weapon...
After hearing Zhou Xiao's answer, Hu Tao's expression twisted: "You're showing off... I have evidence!"
