Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

"What's wrong? Did something happen over there?" Ke Qing asked curiously when Gan Yu brought up the matter. "Could it be that the immortals of Mount Aozang encountered the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard?"

Mount Aozang is also quite close to the South Heaven Gate, and the two are even somewhat aligned in direction.

Could it be that the ancient rock dragon lizard, which was defeated by Su Hao and the others, ran off to the immortal realm?

If that's the case, wouldn't it be like a lamb being led to the slaughter?

As a qualified Liyue citizen, Keqing is quite confident in the immortals, especially considering the dragon plague that occurred in Liyue hundreds of years ago.

It was the Immortal who led the Thousand Rock Army to besiege the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard. The Immortal deserves most of the credit, as they were responsible for fighting the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard head-on, while the Thousand Rock Army was responsible for distracting the baby Rock Dragon Lizards and Rock Dragon Lizards around the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard.

Although it is currently unknown whether the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard has recovered its full strength, according to the intelligence gathered by Su Hao and others, the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard is indeed very strong.

Even Su Hao, a member of Thor's familiar, could only temporarily force him back, which shows that if a battle were to break out, the Thousand Rock Army would probably have to risk their lives to stop him.

Furthermore, Keqing wasn't very confident she could defeat the Ancient Rock Dragon, because judging from the conditions inside the cave, the Ancient Rock Dragon was enormous, as tall as a small mountain.

Ordinary human wave tactics are indeed ineffective against him. Only if everyone is a holder of the Eye of God or a person with high martial arts skills can they probably cause him effective damage.

“That’s not it.” Gan Yu shook her head slightly and looked at Ke Qing with a light smile. “If the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard had appeared in Mount Aozang at that time, we probably wouldn’t have needed to investigate or arrange for powerful experts to deal with it.”

"?"

Ke Qing was somewhat puzzled; she didn't quite understand why Gan Yu would say that.

What I mean is, if the ancient rock dragon had appeared on Mount Aozang at that time, we wouldn't have needed to take any action.

"Hmm..." Seeing Keqing's confusion, Ganyu explained, "I don't know what happened today, but Inazuma's Thunder General appeared on Mount Okuzō."

"However, after she appeared, the Emperor also came to Mount Aozang. I have no way of knowing what the two gods talked about, but according to the Emperor, she was just a guest and we don't need to worry about her."

"That's why I said, if the ancient rock dragon lizard had appeared on Mount Aozang at that time, we probably wouldn't have needed to take any action."

Upon hearing Gan Yu's words, Ke Qing's eyes revealed a hint of shock, partly because she was shocked that Inazuma's Thunder God had come to Liyue.

On the other hand, the Emperor actually appears on other occasions besides the annual ceremony for inviting immortals.

It should be noted that the Emperor rarely appears on other occasions except for the ceremony of inviting immortals.

The Emperor only appears when Liyue encounters a major event, either to stabilize morale or to directly eliminate the enemy.

"So now you're going to Mount Okuzang to find out what's going on?"

Keqing inquired about Ganyu's intentions, because she felt that Ganyu would probably go to Mount Aozang to ask Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun what exactly happened there at noon today.

Whether it's the Emperor's appearance or the Thunder General's sudden arrival in Liyue, it's a major event. Given Ningguang's personality, she will definitely send Ganyu to investigate the actual situation.

“That’s part of it.” Gan Yu nodded slightly and looked at Ke Qing. “I came here not only because it was a success, but also to find out what information you have obtained. If you have information about the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard, then I can pass it on to True Monarch Liu Yun Jie Feng.”

"Given the personality of True Monarch Liuyun Jiefeng, she will probably take immediate action to suppress the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard once she learns of this matter."

Upon hearing Gan Yu's words, Ke Qing couldn't help but smile with relief. After all, the matter of the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard was no trivial matter, and it was naturally a good thing that the immortals could take action to suppress it as soon as possible.

With the upcoming Immortal Invocation Ceremony, Keqing is quite busy and needs to resolve the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard incident as soon as possible.

This year, as one of the Seven Stars in charge of organizing the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, she naturally had things to say to the Emperor. Although it might provoke public outrage, she was not afraid at all, because there were some things that had to be said!

If she didn't speak out, how could she let the Emperor feel her determination?

"Then let's get to the point." Ke Qing knew that Gan Yu was in a hurry, so she said simply, "According to the intelligence we have gathered, Su Hao was indeed right; he repelled the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard."

"There are some scales and blood left by the ancient rock dragon lizard at the scene, and the traces of battle inside the cave can also be seen. They did indeed go through a fierce battle."

"According to the investigation, after the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard was injured by Su Hao with the Thunder God's Authority, it fled to the direction of the South Heavenly Gate. It was thought that it would escape to the Layered Rock Abyss, but it did not."

At this point, Ke Qing looked at Gan Yu and asked directly, "Gan Yu, do you know what's on the other side of the South Heavenly Gate?"

"Based on the investigation, I have two guesses about how the ancient rock dragon lizard was able to escape to that place. One is that there is something there that can help it recover from its injuries as quickly as possible."

"The second point is that the ancient rock dragon lizard sensed the aura of the gods and became afraid, so it went there to find someone to take refuge in."

After Keqing revealed her discovery, Ganyu fell into a brief moment of contemplation, because there were too many demon gods who had been killed or sealed away on the land of Liyue.

The ancient rock dragon lizard will seek refuge, which means that the other party should instinctively seek refuge with a certain demon god.

When she joined the Demon God War, it was already in the middle stage. At that time, the Emperor was wearing a mask and killing indiscriminately. At that time, the Dragon King Ruotu and many immortals followed the Emperor to sweep across the Demon Gods on the land of Liyue.

I actually know very little about the places where demons were sealed or killed.

'Wait! Over at the South Heavenly Gate?!'

At this moment, Gan Yu seemed to remember something, and her expression became somewhat flustered. She looked at Ke Qing and said, "I need to go to Mount Aozang immediately. Miss Ke Qing, I have a terrifying suspicion."

"I will explain the situation to you in detail after I return from Lord Liuyun Jiefeng."

With that, Gan Yu quickly left. Ke Qing reached out her hand to try to stop her, but then she thought again that this might be a very important piece of information.

She needs to follow them to Mount Ozang to get the latest information.

"You continue patrolling and guarding this area," Keqing ordered a Qianyan Army general. She said very seriously, "Ganyu and I are going to Mount Aozang. If we find anything, we'll talk about it when I get back."

With that, Keqing activated her lightning elemental power, vanished from her spot, and rushed towards Gan Yu.

On Mount Aozang, Su Hao was still engrossed in reading "Eight Desolations Hidden Jade and Brightness." He stretched out his hand, and an earthy yellow elemental reaction flickered in his palm.

"I see, is that how this move is used?"

"But that's not enough. I can only roughly sense the rock element."

"If Mr. Zhongli could upload the information, I could quickly grasp it."

Su Hao muttered to himself, his concentration more intense than ever before. In his eyes, the words on "Eight Desolations Hidden Jade and Brightness" seemed to come alive, revealing a completely new world to him.

It must be said, as expected of a book written by the Rock King Emperor himself, it has such a wondrous effect.

However, this is not as convenient as Raiden directly uploading the 'memory' to the group file. Su Hao learned to control the lightning element as soon as he downloaded "God Transformation: Eye of Evil".

Now, relying on the "Eight Desolations Hidden Jade and Brightness" given to him by Zhongli, he felt that he could learn the contents, but it would probably take a while.

"are not you going to rest?"

At that moment, Shen He's voice suddenly rang out behind Su Hao.

"!"

Su Hao was startled. He looked at Shen He, who had appeared behind him at some point, and asked in confusion, "When did you get behind me?"

“An hour ago.” Shen He’s pupils reflected Su Hao’s image. She said in a very calm tone, “I saw you muttering to yourself and gathering rock elemental power in your hand. I was a little curious, so I came to check it out.”

"However... it's truly astonishing that you were able to wield the power of lightning and rock elements without the Eye of God."

Although Shen He knew that there were indeed people in this world who could use elemental power without the Eye of God.

But those people were either exceptionally talented or just like their master and the others.

This was the first time Shen He had ever met someone like Su Hao who started learning later in life.

From the moment Su Hao began his cultivation, Shen He witnessed firsthand how he progressed from roughly grasping the power of the rock element to being able to freely wield it, which was truly astonishing in a sense.

According to the master, that means having the appearance of an immortal, being human but possessing the qualities of an immortal.

Shen He was once described by her master in this way, who said that she might become a human immortal who protects Liyue in the future.

However, Shen He still doesn't know if she can integrate into the Liyue community. Protecting Liyue is her duty. Having been rescued and taught by the immortals, she will definitely protect the people of Liyue in the future, no matter what.

Shen He didn't know what it felt like to actively protect someone else, and her master, who was very good at conversation, didn't give her an answer either, only saying that she would know when the time came.

"I see." Su Hao glanced at the chat group and realized that he had indeed been sitting here reading for almost three hours.

In the group chat, Kuki Shinobu tagged her, saying that she would stay at home tonight and return to Okuzō-zan tomorrow morning, and asked if she had anything she wanted to eat. Kuki Shinobu sent her some via red envelope.

In response, Su Hao replied in the group that he wasn't hungry yet, and that Jiuqi Ren could bring over some breakfast in the morning.

"Ah."

Shen He had a cold personality. Seeing that Su Hao had nothing to say, she stood silently in place, looking at the cave dwelling not far away.

"Where are you sleeping tonight?" Su Hao asked Shen He, wondering where the other would sleep since it was already late.

Sleeping outdoors is probably unlikely. It might be possible once or twice, but it's unrealistic to keep sleeping outdoors all the time. Even with magical powers, it's impossible to keep one's body so clean.

“Generally speaking, I sleep inside the cave.” Shen He looked at the cave and said calmly, “But Master should be teaching Junior Sister right now, so I’ll probably sleep outside tonight.”

"This isn't something that hasn't happened before. When I was cultivating, I lost track of time, sat outside all night, and then... fell asleep."

"When I woke up again, it was already daylight."

Falling asleep during cultivation should have been an embarrassing thing, but Shen He described it as something perfectly normal.

"Hmm?" Su Hao was puzzled. He looked at Shen He and asked, "Why didn't you go back to sleep when you were teaching Ella?"

"Is it to avoid suspicion? But you are also a disciple of the True Lord, it's alright for you to go in and study, isn't it?"

Shen He paused for a moment, then looked at Su Hao with a subtle expression and said, "No, it's because Master is very good at chatting when he's guiding cultivation... I often hear interesting stories about other people from Master, and I don't know if I'll end up in Master's stories."

"To avoid doing something outrageous, I plan to rest outside."

Shen He's words made Su Hao's lips twitch slightly. Should he really be considered as a disciple of the True Lord who is very good at chatting?

Shen He clearly anticipated something, which is why he didn't go into the cave to rest.

"However, how is your cultivation? Do you need my help?" Shen He looked at Su Hao. Although she was rather cold, she still had a good impression of Su Hao and the others.

Therefore, she took the initiative to ask Su Hao if he needed her help, because no matter what kind of cultivation it was, in the end, one had to use battle to verify one's inner thoughts.

Shen He has also descended the mountain more than once to deal with the evil spirits on the land of Liyue. As a disciple of the immortals, although she has not signed a contract with anyone, she has been silently contributing to the land of Liyue.

"Not for now, I haven't even scratched the surface yet." Su Hao looked at the rock elemental power in his hand; he could only barely control it at the moment.

If you want to use the elemental combat skills in "Eight Desolations Hidden Jade and Brightness", it will take some time.

Even if Shen He doesn't say anything, Su Hao will take the initiative to spar with her. There's no other reason why Shen He is so strong, and she doesn't hold back when she fights, which will allow him to test his limits to the greatest extent.

Just as Su Hao and Shen He were talking, they suddenly sensed something and looked in a certain direction.

Two people appeared on Mount Aozang. Su Hao and Shen He saw them, and the two women also saw Su Hao and Shen He.

At this moment, both sides showed expressions of surprise.

"Huh? Su Hao?"

"Are you here too?"

Keqing and Ganyu were surprised, clearly not expecting Su Hao to be here. In their eyes, Su Hao should be staying safely in Liyue Harbor.

How did they get to Mt. Okuzō?! That's really strange!

'Wait? Could it be that Thor came for Su Hao?' x2
