Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister

"Thank goodness, there's only one. That means even if my fire element is neutralized by the surrounding ice element, we can still win."

No sooner had he spoken than Hammer Bro, who had been sent flying, suddenly felt the ice block beneath his buttocks move. Relying on his years of combat experience, Hammer Bro rolled over and barely dodged the attack from another Relic Heavy Machine under the ice block.

Bennett swallowed hard when he saw another Relic Heavy Machine appear. With so many of them, two Relic Heavy Machines weren't necessarily a bad match. So, wanting to cheer everyone on, Bennett said something.

"Just two relic heavy machine guns, we can handle them. Keep it up, everyone!"

The words had barely left his mouth when the previously calm ice beneath Razer's feet cracked instantly, and another relic heavy machine awoke from within the ice. Had Razer not discovered it in time, he might have followed in Bennett's footsteps.

Looking at the three ancient heavy machines in front of him, Hammer Bro felt that death had never been so close to him. If looks could kill, then the looks of the five members of the Fatui would have killed Bennett thousands of times over. Bennett scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Well, if we really can't win, we can run away together."

A cracking sound of ice breaking echoed in the passage behind Fischl. The movement inside the cave was probably too great, affecting the ice in the passage. A relic heavy machine slowly emerged from the crack, but due to the height of the passage, the relic heavy machine got stuck inside, blocking the only passage.

"This...we can..."

"Fox Thoughts"

Hearing Bennett about to speak again, Su Bai used the illusion he had prepared on the Fatui on Bennett. If he let Bennett continue talking, this day next year would probably be Su Bai's death anniversary.

Seeing that Su Bai had silenced Bennett using some unknown method, the five members of the Fools visibly breathed a sigh of relief. If they had let the kid keep talking, they would probably have had to sacrifice themselves for the Queen today.

"Hey you little fox over there, let's team up. No matter what the final outcome, we won't make things difficult for you, and you shouldn't make things difficult for us survivors either, okay?"

Hammer Bro waved his hammer. The four of them had taken a detour to the snow mountain because of his personal matters as the team leader. If his three brothers died here, he would be in deep trouble.

Su Bai narrowed his fox-like eyes slightly, and a plan formed in his mind. After thinking for a while, Su Bai nodded in agreement with Hammer's suggestion.

"Alright, then I, Wind Fist, and that kid with the greatsword will hold off these big guys, and you guys can deal damage from behind."

Everyone nodded in agreement with Hammer Bro's suggestion. Bennett, who wanted to help, could only frantically give signals from the sidelines since he couldn't move or speak.

"Bennett, you'd better not cause any more trouble. You probably don't have much fire element left, so just stand aside and watch the show."

Su Bai guided Bennett's body to a corner and then crouched down with his hands on his head. He believed that it would be more helpful for them to have Bennett obediently hide in the corner and watch the show than to have him fight the Ruins Heavy Machine.

The Relic Heavy Machines didn't give everyone much time to prepare. The first Relic Heavy Machine fired a laser at Hammer Bro in the front after spotting them.

Hammer Bro is a man of courage. Since he couldn't escape, he decided to fight back. He grabbed a hammer covered in lightning and charged straight at the laser beam.

"Go, Oz, and let these foolish people witness the wrath of the Princess of Judgment."

Upon hearing Fischl's command, Oz flapped its wings and joined the battle. Despite its small size, Oz possessed a considerable amount of lightning element stored within it, and the lightning generated from its wings caused considerable trouble for large, not very agile machines like the Ruins Heavy Machine.

Seeing everyone else frantically attacking while he stood there doing nothing, Su Bai felt a little embarrassed. Having no other choice, he conjured a few bolts of lightning in his hand and struck the Ruin Heavy Machine a few times.

"Hey you fox over there, can't you do anything? Your lightning strikes won't even leave a black mark on the Relic Heavy Machine."

"I've already put in a lot of effort, after all, I'm just a fox who's not good at fighting."

Musketeer's face twitched when he heard Su Bai's words. If he hadn't known about this fox in front of him, he would have almost believed Su Bai's nonsense. How could a dignified Liyue immortal be bad at fighting? Did they really think the Fatui were brainless?

Feeling a little embarrassed by Musketeer Bro's disdainful look, Su Bai slightly increased the power of the lightning. Well, at least it would leave a small black dot when it hit the Ruins Heavy Machine.

"When did the Relic Heavy Machine's defense become so high? I remember that back in Inazuma, if a lightning bolt of this level struck the Relic Heavy Machine, it would at least leave a hole in its body."

Realizing that these relic heavy machines seemed somewhat unusual, Su Bai carefully observed them during the ensuing battle. As expected, these relic heavy machines were indeed strange; their attack speed was increasing, and their laser charging speed was also increasing.

As the relic's heavy machine grew stronger, Razer felt increasingly powerless. He was already running out of stamina from being chased by the Fatui, and after the battle just now, he was almost completely exhausted.

Faced with the increasingly fast attack speed of the Relic Heavy Machine, not only was Razer struggling, but Hammer Bro also took several blows from the Relic Heavy Machine's iron fists. Fist Bro fared even worse, as a huge wound appeared on his stomach after being hit by a laser.

Chapter Twenty: Truth and Falsehood (1)

Inside the cave, Su Bai felt increasingly uneasy as he fought. The elemental power he was applying to these relic heavy machines seemed to be less than the damage Razer was causing with his sword. It should be noted that the relic heavy machines had extremely hard shells, and generally speaking, pure physical attacks should not cause much damage to them.

"Oz, stop activating these relic heavy machines for now. Something's not right with these few relic heavy machines."

When Su Bai noticed that the cores on the heads of these relic heavy machines were gradually turning red, an ominous premonition suddenly ignited in his heart. Oz, who trusted Su Bai completely, immediately stopped attacking the relic heavy machines and flew to Su Bai's shoulder.

"Tch, so this is all the immortals in Liyue are capable of? They're already no good?"

Holding a Geo staff, the guy with the staff looked at Su Bai disdainfully, and then, as if showing off, he condensed a large amount of Geo element and threw it at a Relic Heavy Machine.

After being hit by the rock elemental, the relic machine stopped moving as if it had broken down and stood there motionless. Seeing that he had stopped a relic machine, the Rock Staff Fatui even raised an eyebrow at Su Bai in a provocative manner.

Lei Ze, who was blocking the relic heavy machine in front, saw that one of the relic heavy machines had stopped moving and took a breather while supporting it. However, Su Bai sensed that the various elements inside the relic heavy machine seemed to be unusually active, with no sign of leaking out.

"Oh no, little guy, get out of the way!"

Su Bai's expression changed. He sensed that the fire and lightning elements inside the relic machine were about to come into contact. If these two elements came into contact, the overload reaction would be enough to shatter the entire relic machine.

Upon hearing Su Bai's words, Lei Ze immediately lifted his foot to leave the vicinity of the relic heavy machine, but lacking strength, he collapsed to the ground. When Lei Ze raised his head again, the surface of the relic heavy machine was covered with red cracks.

Su Bai, who was providing support from the rear, had already taken out a defensive talisman. If things didn't go as he expected, then he would have to use this talisman on the little guy.

boom!

The violent explosion turned Razer's pupils red, and everyone stared in disbelief at the scene before them. Even the usually eccentric Fischl was now staring blankly at the distance, muttering to himself.

"No, that can't be. I must be seeing things. It must be."

"Tsk, this guy is actually a man."

Su Bai didn't hold back his praise when he saw Hammer standing in front of Razer. If Hammer wasn't a member of the Fools, the two might have become good friends. What a pity.

"Hey kid, what are you standing there for? Run!"

Hammer Bro pulled the shards out of his shoulder with a forceful pull. He didn't bother with the various wounds on his body as long as they didn't affect his movements. There were still two relic heavy machines to deal with, and the danger was not over.

"Ouch, you little brat, don't touch my wounds! These wounds aren't painful enough to make me feel pain."

Hammer Bro glared at the debt collector with dissatisfaction, but the debt collector ignored Hammer Bro's complaints and continued to deal with the fragments stuck in Hammer Bro's skin.

"These fragments are extremely hot due to the overload reaction. If they are not treated in time, they will stick to the healed skin, making them even more difficult to deal with later."

"And you don't need to hold on. I studied some medical skills before, and this level of pain is enough to make an ordinary person faint."

The straightforward debt collector showed no respect for Hammer, embarrassing him in front of everyone. Hammer now felt more pain in his face than in his wounds.

"Haha, you bunch of Fools are quite interesting. I'll take you all with me on this runaway trip."

Su Bai's lips curled up slightly. It had been a long time since he had encountered such interesting Fools. And since they had passed his first test, it wouldn't be a bad idea to run away with these guys.

"Are you ready? The fox spirit of Liyue is about to unleash her magic."

With a flick of his tail, Su Bai instantly bound everyone with chains made of immortal energy. Whether Su Bai did it on purpose or not, the chains on Hammer's body landed right on his wound. This sudden pain caused Hammer to contribute a bit to the warming of the snow mountain.

Ignoring the grimacing Hammer Bro, Su Bai exerted force, and everyone instantly felt the chains binding them being pulled by a tremendous force. Poor Hammer Bro howled in pain.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, it hurts so much! Little fox, are you sure you can escape?"

"Stop talking nonsense, look where we are now."

Su Bai slumped on the snow, looking utterly powerless, and retorted to Hammer Bro. Hammer Bro looked at the snow-covered ground in disbelief, grabbed a handful of snow, and felt it melt in his hand. Hammer Bro gave Su Bai a thumbs up in admiration.

"As expected of the fox spirit of Liyue, I owe you this time. But how did you manage to bring us here so quickly?"

"It's just a minor trick of imbuing consciousness into a talisman, nothing to mention, except that it consumes a lot of energy."

Su Bai waved his hand dismissively. Hammer Bro nodded as if he understood, it seemed he should avoid taking on any missions targeting the Liyue Immortals in the future, lest he die without even knowing how.

"Wait, it seems someone is missing."

Just as everyone was rejoicing at surviving the ordeal, the debt collector, who had been mostly silent, suddenly blurted out, "The simple-minded Rock Stick counted, and all five Fatui members were there. Who's missing?"

"It seems our mission objective wasn't brought over."

"What? That unlucky kid wasn't brought back???"

Fist Bro was so excited that he jumped up from the ground. He was thinking of giving that unlucky kid a good beating once he regained some strength, so why wasn't he brought back?

After all, they had been through life and death together, and Fist Bro had no intention of taking Bennett back. Of course, there was also an even more important reason: the lady was not Fist Bro's type.

"Uh, I think I did forget about Bennett there."

Fischl's face paled. Staying in that kind of place for too long would almost certainly mean certain death, but seeing Su Bai slumped on the ground looking exhausted, Fischl couldn't bring herself to ask Su Bai to go and save Bennett.

For a moment, everyone fell silent. Only Razer struggled to his feet, his arms trembling as he picked up the Raincutter. His friendship with Bennett was not something that death could sever.

"Kid, you should stay here and rest. Since it all started because of me, I'll go and save that unlucky kid."

Chapter Twenty-One: Truth and Falsehood (2)

Hammer Bro's words stunned the remaining three Fools Muggles in the four-man squad. They had finally escaped, and now their captain was going to go and die?

"Captain, this is none of our business, so please don't interfere. Didn't we tell these kids that we wouldn't make things difficult for each other after we escaped?"

"Yeah, Captain, you'd better not go."

Rock Stick Bro and Musketeer Bro both disagreed with Hammer Bro going back to his death. Only Fist Bro silently watched Hammer Bro. As the person who knew his old friend best, Fist Bro knew that Hammer Bro wouldn't easily change his mind once he made a decision.

"Alright, stop talking. The reason we got involved in this is because I wanted to find my daughter's boyfriend. Besides, we owe that fox a life, so I'll go and bring that unlucky kid back."

Hammer Bro forced himself to stand up despite the pain in his body. Blood had already seeped through his armor. If it weren't for his strong will, he probably wouldn't even be able to get up now.

“Old buddy, as your vice-captain, I’m not going to just watch you go alone.”

Fist Bro stood up. He and Hammer Bro had fought side-by-side for years, and he couldn't bear to watch Hammer Bro go to his death. With a death wish, Fist Bro spoke to the silent debt collector...

"Kid, I'm leaving these two young men in my team to you. They're new recruits; your job is to get them safely out of the snow mountain."

"Impossible! We can't just watch you two, Captain and Vice Captain, go to your deaths. You two took such good care of us before, so let us go and bring that unlucky kid out this time."

Razer grew increasingly anxious as he watched the four Fools in front of him almost start arguing. Suddenly, he felt the scene before him distort, and feeling dizzy, Razer closed his eyes. When the dizziness subsided and he opened his eyes, he was pleasantly surprised to find Bennett standing right next to him.

The wolf's keen intuition instantly led him to Su Bai's location. Seeing Su Bai sitting on a rock, smiling at him, Lei Ze immediately realized that Su Bai was behind it all.

"Little guy, what's your name? You actually managed to break through my illusion with your own willpower, and even Oz didn't notice anything unusual."

"Raze, thank you, thank you for saving Benny."

With Bennett holding his neck, Razer struggled to squeeze out a few words. Seeing this familiar scene, Su Bai gave Razer a look that said, "I understand you."

Back in Jueyun Karst, Su Bai had been hugged around the neck by Shen He quite a few times. He hated the person who told Shen He that this gesture meant happiness. At that moment, Xingqiu and Chongyun in Liyue Harbor sneezed at the same time, but the two were too busy to pay any attention to it.

"Thank you so much, Brother Fox. If it weren't for you, I might really have died there."

"That's alright. You're Fischl's friends, so you're my friends too. By the way, would you like to come and take a look at those Fools in the illusion?"

Su Bai's words immediately attracted the attention of Bennett and Razer. The two little ones nodded quickly. Su Bai used his fairy power to tap their heads. After a moment of dizziness, the scene in front of them changed.
