Chapter 196: Sudden and Expected
In the guest room of a certain inn and restaurant in Tianheng Mountain, Liyue, Kexuan said to Tinana with a smile:
"I didn't expect you to put down your work at the border and come to our side to look for someone, but the person you're looking for doesn't live in Tianheng Mountain. If you don't mind, I can send someone to pull a carriage, and you can go through one of the underground tunnels to Guiliji. He lives over there, and you might run into him if you're lucky."
Tianana drank a cup of black tea. She appreciated Kexuan's kindness, but still shook her head and said:
"Thank you for your kindness, Kexuan. I still have enough Mora on me, so I can take my time to look for him. Besides, I haven't seen all of Liyue's scenery yet. If I go to look for him too soon, the surprise I prepared might be ruined."
Kexuan's expression flashed with understanding. He knew clearly the purpose of the comrade in front of him looking for someone. In fact, he also checked the information of that person after he came back. The person named Ye Li was the candidate sent by Lord Emperor himself to attend the exchange meeting. With his level of authority, it was difficult to find detailed information. He could only roughly investigate that the other party lived in Guiliji, and there were no other clues.
The two talked for a while, and Tinana also took out some information about the mission that Lord Tree King had assigned her to do. She handed the scroll to Kexuan and said solemnly:
"Give this scroll to the Emperor. The things on it will help the development of Liyue. Remember! You must escort it in secret and make sure it is not discovered or intercepted by the undercover agents."
Kexuan's purple pupils flashed with shrewdness. He took the scroll handed to him by Tinana with a serious expression. He did not open it, but put it directly into the token.
After the dinner at the inn was over, Kexuan immediately left with the other Qianyan soldiers. Tinana also stayed in the inn for a day. The next morning, they began to gallop towards the underground passage leading to Guiliji.
Watching the team transporting goods back and forth, Tinana was deeply moved by the experiences along the way. Not to mention the huge wall that spanned thousands of miles and was hundreds of meters high, even the scenery seen when entering Liyue was very different from that of Xumi.
The mountains that stretch for thousands of miles stand on the earth like an ancient dragon. The occasional birds and beasts flying by and the cranes that have never been seen before all open Tinana's eyes.
Especially the huge iron bird flying through the sky. The elemental power ejected from its back was many times greater than the flying mechanism Xumi had ever seen. It must be the transportation mechanism that Ye Li mentioned.
Recalling what she had seen and heard along the way, Tianana took out a bottle full of milk candy from her pocket, poured a piece into her mouth. The sweet taste made the girl's mouth curl up, and she drove the horse a little faster.
As for where the milk candy came from, it was naturally made by Ye according to the ratio of his previous life and the substitute materials of Teyvat. Tinana bought it from the branch that Ye left on the 1st day in the Tianheng Mountain Dungeon. Moreover, the price was very cheap. Only one Mora was needed to buy ten small bags of milk candy, which was very cost-effective.
……
Xumi, in the hollowed-out underground of the desert, No. 4 Ye Li looked with a twitching mouth at the array of soul-suppressing mechanisms that were constantly moving stones and supplies, and building decryptions and hints in the underground caves that would give future travelers a headache.
The forest book next door hasn’t even been completed yet, but they’ve already started building an underground maze here.
No. 4 Ye Li rubbed his cheeks. He could only mourn in silence for the future travelers who would have to run themselves to pieces. However, when he thought of the picture, the corners of his mouth inexplicably rose. He always felt that he could do something about it.
His thoughts turned to the place where No. 4 Ye Li secretly placed several treasure chests in several already built secret rooms. Inside the treasure chests were more than 20 edgeless swords preserved by elemental power, and he also added some small props for his own private work.
Looking at his masterpiece, No. 4 Ye Li nodded with satisfaction. Then some kind of malice was transmitted from the other end of time and space to a future traveler, causing the other party to sneeze when opening the treasure chest.
No. 4 Ye Li recorded all the building details here, and then used the earth escape technique to escape from the inside of the pyramid, flying all the way to the sand-proof wall built by Buyer.
Coming out of the ground, No. 4 Ye Li brushed the dust off his clothes with a small notebook that recorded history. The glowing leaves in his hand proved that a certain god of wisdom had begun to contact him.
Connecting to the element network at the other end of the blade, No. 4 Ye Li said with a little doubt:
"Buyer, the work on the Red King's side has been handed over. What's the matter with contacting me at this time?"
"Emergency! A large number of monsters and demon gods have appeared at the border of the sea. I have gone to the border sea area to suppress them. Come to support me quickly!"
"Damn it, why did something go wrong at such a critical moment?"
No. 4 Ye Li's expression became solemn. He put the notebook in his hand back into the token. The Tang sword on his back flashed, and immediately carried No. 4 Ye Li like a meteor in the night, heading straight for the eastern sea border.
On the way, No. 4 Ye Li learned the news from the Great Ci Tree King in real time through the leaves, and also learned about the opponent's military strength and deployment.
Three years of peace and tranquility had brought rich harvests to the fishermen at the border of the Xumi Sea. As time went on, their vigilance disappeared. If a certain border barrier had not triggered an alarm, it would have taken the Great Compassion Tree King a few more seconds to react quickly.
But at that time, many fishing boats might have been overturned, resulting in the destruction of the boats and the loss of people.
But fortunately, the Tree King arrived quickly and was able to teleport briefly through the connection between the earth veins and the World Tree. As the incarnation of the World Tree, the Great Compassionate Tree King could do it easily. It can be said that in the area where the earth veins in the territory of Xumi were under her jurisdiction, she came and went without a trace.
Half a minute ago, in Jingshan Palace, when the Great Compassion Tree King was still checking the information provided by the earth veins, the chaotic earth vein environment suddenly indicated some kind of alarm. The Great Compassion Tree King, through the induction of the border barrier, immediately realized that someone had invaded Xumi. Thinking quickly, she took a step forward and rushed out from the veins of the World Tree without hesitation. In an instant, she teleported from the rainforest to the vicinity of the beach.
In one second, she moved from Jingshan Palace to the edge of the beach. A green staircase appeared under the feet of the Great Compassion Tree King, which instantly carried her into the air and split the sea surface in two at an extremely fast speed. The waves roared and rushed out in a straight line.
In the third second after the alarm was triggered, countless monsters and demons broke through the shackles of the barrier and rushed in like a swarm of locusts, trying to occupy this sea area as soon as possible.
But just as they rushed in from the broken entrance of the barrier, huge vines rose above the sea like a forest. The illusory and real fog blocked their minds and vision, causing their attacks to fall on their companions.
Countless vines and wood turned into sharp bayonets, piercing the bodies of countless monsters. The huge green light formed a wide palace barrier that enveloped the countless monsters and demons that rushed in. The reaction of the grass seeds continued to explode on the sea, causing half of the monster army to be directly destroyed. Dozens of demons were also injured in this sudden attack.
Looking at the terrifying combination of more than 20 upper-level demons, nearly a hundred middle-level demons, and hundreds of lower-level demons in front of him, the Great Compassion Tree King's beautiful eyes like emeralds were filled with dazzling divine light. The branches and vines of the trees were intertwined to form a sharp green vine sword, which was held in his hand. The leaves drifting beside him also began to ripple with green light, contacting No. 4 Ye Li in the desert.
Within a few minutes of suppression, No. 4 Ye Li and Su Wang had already formulated a battle plan. The two calm and collected men seemed to have anticipated this sudden situation.
……
Liyue, Guiliji.
Ganyu looked at the long-eared girl in front of her who excitedly grabbed Ye Li's shoulders. The inexplicable sense of danger in her eyes made the person whose shoulders were put on feel a chill, and confusion and inexplicable tension appeared on his face.
"Tinana, I didn't expect you to come to me at this time, but can you let go first? I always feel like something is wrong."
Feeling the cold chill behind him, Ye Li said to Tianana who patted his shoulder with a stiff smile.
"What's wrong? We are best friends, it's just a pat on the shoulder, why are you so nervous?"
Tianana had a confused expression on her face. She turned her head and saw Ganyu behind Ye Li staring at her with a smile. An inexplicable pressure suddenly came over her, making her eyes become solemn.
What is a surprise? What is an accident? At this moment, Ye Li, who was caught in the middle, did not dare to move. He was very unimpressed by the aura between the two women.
