"It's like this. Recently, many people in the Qianyan Army in Wangshu City have been injured because they blocked the wolves, resulting in a shortage of manpower, so we are here to help clean up the monsters in Dihuazhou.
On the way, I heard Xiaoyu say that you came to collect medicine for his father. We were afraid that you would be in danger, so we hurried over to find you. Fortunately, we found you. Then Auntie, let's go quickly."
Xiaoyu's mother shook her head and stared straight at the cave not far away, where there was a Qiuqiu thug holding a huge axe, but there was a light blue on the top of the Qiuqiu thug's head.
Little fruit.
"That's the Sea Breeze Fruit. It's about to mature. I found it these days, so I hid it secretly here, waiting for it to mature. When I'm hungry these days, I eat the herbs I picked before. It's been so many days.
, it’s finally mature, so I can’t leave yet.”
Zhong Mo and Chong Yun looked at each other and nodded.
"Auntie, how long do you think this sea breeze fruit will take to mature?"
Xiaoyu's mother looked at it carefully for a while, and then replied: "At most tomorrow morning, you can see the white stripes on the fruit. When the white stripes move from the bottom of the fruit to the top of the fruit and then disappear, that is when it is mature.
, it’s almost here now.”
"I understand, Auntie, we will help you, don't worry."
Xiaoyu's mother showed a haggard smile: "Thank you then. By the way, this is what I have discovered in the past few days, and I have drawn it on this piece of paper."
"This is a place guarded by a Qiuqiu man holding a big axe. It's mainly about the strange things around us. This place is guarded by a Qiuqiu man holding a huge rock. It's mainly about the barrels of fire slimes that hit each other.
.”
Zhong Mo looked at a big red circle on the simple map drawn by Xiaoyu's mother, pointed at it curiously and asked.
"Auntie, what is here?"
Xiaoyu's mother shook her head: "I don't know. I only know that there are a lot of monsters gathering here. I don't dare to get close at all, so I put a big red circle on it."
"If you are so strictly guarded by those monsters, there must be something good. Chongyun, do you have any ideas?"
Chongyun shook his head: "I don't recommend doing this. The risk is too great. The most important thing now is to wait for the Sea Breeze Fruit to mature. Then we can protect Xiaoyu's mother to escape and detonate the fire slime explosive barrel in the hole to clean up the place.
The safest way is to use the monster."
"Oh, okay……"
Then Zhong Mo, Chong Yun and the others quietly hid behind the debris, waiting for the Sea Breeze Fruit to ripen.
Early the next morning, the three of them stayed up all night, all staring at the sea breeze fruit on top of the Qiuqiu man's thug. At this time, the Qiuqiu man, who had finished eating the food in front of him, was suddenly attracted by the fruit on his head.
force.
Qiuqiu Ren blinked his eyes, showing a puzzled expression, as if he was judging whether this small fruit with a strange color could be eaten. The three of them held their breath and looked at Qiuqiu Ren nervously.
In the end, Qiuqiu Man still extended his sinful palm towards the fruit above his head.
At this time, Xiaoyu's mother, who was hiding behind the debris, suddenly jumped out and threw a stone at the Qiuqiu thug. The stone drew a parabola in the air and hit the huge head of the Qiuqiu thug.
The Qiuqiu man was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't understand how a skinny human could appear here and dare to throw stones at him. When it reacted, it roared at Xiaoyu's mother and picked up the giant stick beside him.
The ax was thrown towards Xiaoyu's mother.
"careful!"
Chongyun grabbed Xiaoyu's mother and pulled her behind him. Zhongmo and Chongyun immediately protected her behind him. They didn't expect that this thin-looking woman would actually be in that situation.
How dare you jump out and challenge this monster.
Chongyun summoned his big sword and pushed it forward to block the giant ax flying in the air. The giant ax hit Chongyun's big sword, which made his palms numb. Chongyun shook his numb hands.
, said with difficulty.
"I'm so strong. I wish I were as strong as Beidou-sama. Damn it."
That day, Beidou's heroic appearance of going in and out of the wolf pack to chase down the giant wolf was deeply engraved in Chongyun's mind.
[Physical fitness is also a large proportion of strength (only for Eyes of God level 3 and below). There was once a man in Mondstadt who used a two-handed sword as a one-handed sword wielder and successfully became the first person without a god.
A fierce man guarded by the four winds of the eye, a person with a strong enough body can even defeat some owners of the Eye of God who are poor at using it.】
Chongyun's physical fitness is not very strong. In the past, he mainly relied on talismans and elemental power to exorcise demons. Today was the first time he had a head-on confrontation with a monster.
Chongyun felt his numb hands and thought silently in his heart.
"Looks like I need to do a little exercise."
At this time, Xiaoyu's mother suddenly shouted excitedly.
"The fruit is ripe!"
As she said that, she wanted to rush forward, but Zhong Mo held her back.
"You don't want your life? How dare you charge?"
Xiaoyu's mother bit her lip and looked firmly at the ripe sea breeze fruit.
"This is Xiaoyu's father's only hope. I can't give up. I must get it, even if it means giving my own life..."
"Oh, there's really nothing I can do about you, leave it to me! You hide here and be careful."
Hearing Zhong Mo's firm tone, Xiao Yu's mother calmed down and nodded. She understood that she was the one holding back the situation and the best thing to do now was to obey the arrangement and not cause any trouble.
Zhong Mo covered her with a layer of dust and asked her to hide behind a pile of debris.
"This layer of dusty clothing will protect your safety. Do not reach out and touch it. It may be dangerous. Do not move it randomly. I may not be able to control its movements at any time."
Xiaoyu's mother nodded to show that she understood. Seeing that she understood, Zhong Mo turned around and prepared to pick the sea breeze fruit.
After a day and a night without rest, Chongyun and Zhong Mo were both very tired. As for Xiao Yu's mother, she had probably not slept for four days. It was just yesterday that Chong Yun and Zhong Mo kept vigil to give her some rest.
In this kind of environment, who can really fall asleep?
Although the elemental power is sufficient, the physical and mental fatigue is real. These have affected Chongyun's fighting ability. As a result, the Qiuqiu thugs that he could usually easily deal with were unable to fight him at this time.
There is a return.
Moreover, he must ensure that he retains some elemental power. After all, there are countless monsters in this ghost place. It is best not to use too much elemental power against this monster.
"Chongyun, you fight with it first! I'll get the fruit!"
"good."
Chongyun responded, then stepped forward to fight with the Qiuqiu thugs.
