The golden tree standing tall in the world of Teyvat - Chapter 303
c301 Boss, it’s time to take medicine
After the light curtain disappeared, the surrounding environment became dark again.
Seeing this, Paimon shrank his neck and came to Ying’s side and said, “Ying, it’s so dark here after the light curtain disappears. I’m a little scared.”
“What are you afraid of? You are invincible. Go and help us explore the road.” Ying glanced at Paimon and gave instructions without hesitation.
After hearing Ying’s words, Paimon looked at her in disbelief and said, “Wow, it’s so dark and you want me to act alone?”
“Of course, it would be tragic if we encountered a [hunting], and it’s not the first time you have done this.” Ying replied.
“I don’t want it!” Pamon refused angrily.
“real?”
“real!”
“Well, I originally wanted to double your monthly food expenses after winning this championship. Since you don’t want to, forget it.”
Paimon: “???”
When she heard that Ying used such conditions to seduce herself, Paimon was immediately confused. In the end, she chose delicious food between fear and delicious food.
“Okay, I’ll go!” Thinking of this, Paimon mustered up the courage to speak.
Hearing that Paimon agreed to his request, Ying smiled and nodded: “That’s right. We are here waiting for your good news.”
“As promised, you will have to increase my food expenses in the future.” Paimon flew forward a little, and then, as if he was worried, he turned to Ying again and said, “You must not break your promise.”
“Of course, those who break their promises will be punished by eating rocks.” Ying nodded seriously.
Hearing Ying’s assurance, Paimon breathed a sigh of relief and flew cautiously towards the road ahead.
“Traveler, little Paimon is so scared, are you sure there won’t be any accidents if you let her go?” Kamisato Ayaka looked at Paimon who was shrinking away, and said to Ying with some worry.
“Don’t worry, Paimon is well hidden. This little thing won’t trouble her.” Ying replied: “Now, let’s see if there are any props mentioned in the introduction around us.”
“Yeah.” Kamisato Ayaka heard what Yingdu said and didn’t ask any more questions.
On the other side, a five-meter-tall centaur creature emitting blue flames was making an unknown roar with its hands on its hips, while the same centaur creature next to it was covering its head and sighing.
Goro looked at Arataki Ichito who was getting sick again and felt his head was buzzing. He had known that he would act alone like this.
“Hahahahahahaha, I am actually a [Patrol Hunter], and the evil creatures of [Fenghuo] should be captured quickly!” Arataki Yidou laughed loudly: “Goro, quickly go out with me to defeat the evil creatures of Fenghuo, the rules He said, as long as we conquer more crops, we will gain more points, and the champion will definitely belong to me!”
Goro: “.”
“Arataki Ichito, according to reports, the other [Fenghou] are all contestants, and they also have countermeasures. I think we still have to take a long-term view.” Goro took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality towards Arataki. Yidou said.
“What are you afraid of? We are invincible. They can still kill us. Moreover, they only have one hour of hunting time. The soldiers are very fast.” Arataki Yidou said: “If you want to think, just think here. I The uncle is going to find the prey first.”
After saying that, Arataki galloped away into the distance, leaving only Goro who stretched out his hand and was about to say something.
“well.”
“But speaking of it, it’s really eerie here. There’s not a single living thing. What if something suddenly jumps out and scares me?” Arataki Yidou said as he walked: “No, no, I’m here.” This is the top level, nothing can scare me.”
“Is that me?”
Suddenly a gloomy voice sounded next to Arataki Ito.
Arataki Yidou: “!!!”
Arataki Yidou was startled by the sudden sound.
He turned his head hurriedly and saw a stall appearing at some point. Under the bright lights of the stall, there was a woman wearing a Narukami Taisha shrine maiden uniform, looking at him with a strange smile.
Arataki Yidou looked stiffly at the woman who suddenly appeared here in a miko uniform, and asked with some surprise: “Who are you?”
“Oh, we were assigned as staff here by Yae Shenzi. Don’t make a fuss. Here you can strengthen and upgrade your abilities, and you can also use points to buy some props.” The woman said: “Arataki Ichito player, you need Don’t you need to come to the store to spend some money?”
“No, no need, I don’t have points.” After the miko’s introduction, Arataki Yito looked at a pile of beans placed in a conspicuous place on the stall. He swallowed, then shook his head and backed away. I have an intuition that the miko in front of me is very difficult to deal with.
Thinking of this, Arataki ran away in one direction.
Seeing Arataki Yidou fleeing quickly, the miko couldn’t help but sigh and said, “Leaving now? This ghost boy is really boring.”
“Huh? Wait, there is another person coming, the general from Kaiji Island.” The miko suddenly noticed something and touched her chin with interest.
Time passed little by little, and all the contestants gradually adapted to this dark environment, because except for the scary atmosphere and the need for dike patrol, there are no other scary places here.
“Ying, half of the game has passed, why haven’t we encountered a hunter yet?” Paimon scratched his head in confusion.
“I don’t know either. Maybe they are sleeping somewhere.” Ying thought for a while and replied, “Or maybe they are like you, scared by this environment and dare not come out.”
“How is that possible? But it’s good this way. As long as the time is up, we can also get a lot of points.” Paimeng said.
“How can these points be enough?” Ying listened to Paimeng’s words, glanced at her and said, “Since the patrol can’t come out, we can go to him. Break the patrol’s concentration bar once, and we can also get some points. We will run after we beat him, and fight again when the time is up. Isn’t it more than doing the task?”
“This, this is better not to do it?” Paimeng listened to Ying’s bold speech, and hesitantly persuaded: “If we are caught by the patrol, our points will be gone.”
At this point, Paimeng turned his head and said to Linghua: “Linghua, you think so too, right?”
“No.” Shenli Linghua shook her head and said: “I agree with the decision of the traveler.”
“Ah? Linghua, are you not afraid?” Paimeng said in surprise.
“Because there are travelers here, she said she would protect me.” Kamisato Ayaka replied softly: “Her words made me feel that the fear in my heart has dissipated.”
Paimon: “.”
Ying: “?”
“Roar, roar, roar!”
Suddenly a voice sounded behind them.
Paimon turned his head curiously and saw a horse with blue flames running towards them quickly.
“Wow, Ying, Ayaka, it’s the hunter, he’s here.” Paimon hurriedly reminded Ying and Ayaka.
“No need to remind, I saw it.” Ying said: “Ayaka, prepare for battle.”
Kamisato Ayaka nodded and said: “Okay.”
“Hahahaha, I finally saw this group of [Fengcai] hiding after searching for half an hour. You really made it easy for me to find you.” Ara Taki Ito said excitedly while looking at Ying and Paimon not far away.
But the sound he made turned into a roar, making it difficult for others to hear clearly.
Seeing that Ara Taki Ito was getting closer and closer, Ying took out the longbow and slowly pulled it open. The blue water element began to slowly gather on the arrow. After aiming at Ara Taki Ito, she directly released the arrow in her hand.
“Ayaka, prepare to use the elemental burst – the poem of the wind god.”
Hearing Ying’s words, Kamisato Ayaka also put up the bow and arrow. After the water element arrow fell on Ara Taki Ito, she also released the elemental burst skill she picked up.
Kamisato Ayaka: “Don’t try to escape~”
At the moment when Kamisato Ayaka released the elemental burst, a storm eye formed around Ara Taki Ito, and the wind element vortex kept sucking him, preventing him from moving forward.
Ara Taki Ito: “???”
“Damn it, you dare to play tricks on me, when this storm disappears, it’s your turn to be out!”
The eye of the storm was stained with water elements and turned into a blue vortex.
“Swift as a sword.” Ying held the thunder wedge in her hand and threw it towards the position where Ara Taki Ito was.
Then she activated the second phase of Star Return, and flashed in front of Ara Taki Ichito. Ara Taki Ichito was also unable to move due to the reaction of thunder, wind, and water elements, that is, he was numbed by electricity, so he could only watch Ying appear in front of him.
Under his wide-eyed gaze, Ying slowly raised the weapon in her hand. The iron weapon she had picked up turned into an ice blade formed by ice elements at the moment she activated the elemental burst. At the moment she turned around, the ice blade slowly dissipated in her hand as she retracted her hand, and cherry blossoms condensed by ice elements also appeared around her body.
Ying: “Kamizato Style – Frost Destruction!”
When the ice blade completely disappeared in Ying’s hand, a small blue folding fan emitting ice-blue light appeared in her hand. Ying held the folding fan and slapped it hard in the direction of Ara Taki Ichito. Three spiral storms formed by ice elements directly hit Ara Taki Ichito’s body.
“Ayaka, hurry up.” After doing all this, Ying released the cooling skill again to distance herself from Aratake Ichito.
Seeing this, Kamisato Ayaka also hurriedly ran away.
“Hey! Wait, stop right there!” Aratake Ichito was frozen in the storm and could only watch the two of them run away after doing all this. He shouted angrily: “Damn it, don’t let me know who you are, otherwise after this test of courage is over, I will definitely call my own brothers to get back at you!”
“Hoo, Paimon, see if that patrol is chasing you?” Ying and Kamisato Ayaka ran for a while and said to Paimon who was flying in the air.
“Then I’ll go and take a look.”
After saying that, Paimon flew into the air and looked around. Because she and Ying were participating as a single individual, she could not leave the 15-meter range of Ying. Once she exceeded this range, she would be forced to teleport back.
“Hoo, traveler, good, very exciting.” Kamisato Ayaka said to the smiling Ying with some breathlessness: “I never thought that I would do such an unethical thing before, but I feel so happy.”
“I just don’t know who played the role of the hunter this time. Judging from his appearance, he must be very angry.”
“It doesn’t matter who it is. They don’t know it was us who did it, because elemental combat skills, elemental bursts, and ordinary attacks can all be picked up here.” Ying said indifferently after hearing what Kamisato Ayaka said: “Besides, this patrol is so stupid and has a bad temper. There is no one else except Ara Taki Ichito, the big fool.”
“Puchi, big fool?” Kamisato Ayaka was amused by Ying’s words: “Now that you put it that way, it really fits him.”
In two days, the competition lasted for five rounds. Except for Ara Taki Ichito and Goro, the other groups more or less caught people.
After the first round of the competition, everyone came to the previous platform again.
“Okay, I’m sure you are used to the appetizers in the first round, because no one was eliminated, but I think it should be, after all, no one would be so timid.” Yae Shenzi stood in the middle of the platform and said to several people.
Paimon: “.”
In response, Paimon could only show an awkward but polite smile.
“According to the ranking of the points obtained, the first place is the team of Kamisato Ayaka and the Traveler, the second place is the team of Manye and Shikanoin Heizo, the third place is the team of Keqing and Ganyu, the fourth place is the team of Xiao Gong Yu Zao Yu, and the last place is the team of Ara Taki Ito and Goro.” Yae Shenzi read out the information sheet.
After hearing what Yae Shenzi said, Ara Taki Ito shouted angrily: “Damn it, there must be an inside story. I don’t accept it. How can I be the last one!”
At this point, Ara Taki Ito turned his head and said to his partner Goro: “Goro, are you right? There must be an inside story. We can’t be the last one.”
“Ara Taki Ito, don’t say it.” Goro covered his head in pain and said: “We are not the last one to have an inside story.”
After hearing what Goro said, Ara Taki Ito scratched his head awkwardly and said: “Ah? Is that so.”
Goro: “.”
“You The points we have earned will be retained, and after the Test of Courage is over, we can exchange them for some precious rewards. “Yae Shenzi said here, paused and continued: “Of course, there are rewards and punishments. Because this competition is a test of courage, the punishment is that the team ranked last in points after a round of competition enters the horror house and faces the person or thing they fear most for half an hour. ”
“The last team in the first round of the Test of Courage is the team of Ara Taki Ito and Goro, so please go in, both of you.”
After Yae Shenzi finished speaking, a door appeared in front of Ara Taki Ito and Goro.
Aratake Ichito: “???”
Goro: “!!!”
“I don’t accept it!” Aratake Ichito looked up at Yae Shinko and said, “Why is there still a punishment?”
“You can also choose not to be punished. In this case, it will be regarded as you giving up.” Yae Shinko said with a smile, “How about accepting the punishment and continuing, or giving up and leaving?”
Hearing that he would be sent out if he didn’t accept the punishment, Aratake Ichito’s momentum suddenly weakened, and he said with his neck stiff, “Humph, punishment is punishment, there is no one in this world that I am afraid of.”
After saying that, Aratake Ichito walked into the door with his head held high and his chest puffed out. Seeing this, Goro hesitated for a while and walked into the door.
After Aratake Ichito entered the door, he felt that his eyes went dark. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on a warm bed, but he felt that he had no strength at this time, just like the sequelae of being attacked by the traveler with beans on Yayun Island before.
Thinking of this, Aratake Ichito had a bad premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, while Ara Taki Ichito was thinking, a light sound of footsteps came towards Ara Taki Ichito.
“Boss, are you awake?”
Seeing Kuki Shinobu, who was wearing a shrine maiden costume without a mask and holding a steaming bowl, approaching him, Arataki Ichito asked in confusion: “Shinobu? Why are you here? And didn’t you say you didn’t want to be a shrine maiden? What are you wearing?”
Kuki Shinobu, who was wearing a shrine maiden costume, put the bowl in her hand on Arataki Ichito’s bedside table, sighed and said to him: “Hey, it’s not my family who forced me to do this, but it’s good this way. The welfare of Narukami Taisha is still very good, and it can fully support all my expenses. It’s not like when I was in the Arataki faction, I took commissions everywhere to make money, and I had to deal with the mess for you and your little brothers.”
Arataki Ichito: “???”
“Shinobu, what are you talking about? Are you leaving the Arataki faction just like that?” Hearing Kuki Shinobu’s words, Arataki Ichito said excitedly. He wanted to sit up, but his body had no strength.
“Why don’t you leave? After I return to work at Narukami Taisha, I will have money, so the brothers of the Aratake faction can live a good life.” Kuki Shinobu replied calmly: “And you are a little weak now, don’t move.”
At this point, Kuki Shinobu picked up the bowl of hot soup, picked up a spoonful with a spoon and put it to Aratake Ito’s mouth and said: “Come on, boss, it’s time to take medicine. Only by taking medicine can you get better as soon as possible.”
After listening to Kuki Shinobu’s words, Aratake Ito was confused, but the current situation was indeed to adjust his body, so he opened his mouth and let Kuki Shinobu put the soup into his mouth.
At the moment when the soup entered his mouth, Aratake Ito suddenly widened his eyes. This familiar yet unfamiliar taste – it was beans!
“A-nin, you, what did you give me to drink?” Ichito Arataki asked Kuki-nin, holding back the pain.
“Bean stew soup.” Kuki Shinobu replied matter-of-factly: “Mr. Yaegomiya said that you have no strength because you are possessed by an evil spirit. You need to use bean stew soup to drive away the evil spirit and help you regain your health.”
Arataki Yidou: “!!!”
“A-nin, don’t you know that I can’t eat beans? I’m a ghost!” Arataki Yidou said in horror.
“Boss, what nonsense are you talking about? How could you be a ghost?” Kuki Shinobi shook his head and said, “It seems that Mr. Yaegomiya is not following what he said. You are indeed possessed by the ghost clan, otherwise How could you have the illusion that you are a ghost?”
Having said this, Kuki Shinobu took another mouthful of bean soup with a spoon and put it to Arataki Ito’s mouth and said, “Here, drink this bowl of soup, and you will become normal.”
“Uh-huh, I don’t want to drink it, A-nin, take it away quickly, I can’t drink this kind of thing.” Arataki Yidou pursed his lips and refused: “I will die if I drink it!”
After listening to Arataki Ito’s words, Kuki-nin fell silent and listened to the movements of his hands.
Ichito Arataki noticed that Kuki-nin’s movements had stopped, and felt happy. He quietly opened his eyes and took a secret look at Kuki-nin. He saw that the other person was biting his lip and lowering his head, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Just when Arataki Ito was about to explain something, Kuki Shinobu suddenly raised his head and said to Arataki Ito with a serious face: “Boss, you can’t do it without taking medicine. You have to take this medicine no matter what you say today.” ”
After saying that, Kuki Shinobu held a spoon in one hand and pinched Arataki Ichito’s chin with the other hand to forcefully open his mouth, pouring the bean soup into Arataki Ichito’s mouth one by one. .
Arataki Yidou: “Uh-huh!”
