"President, we've searched the entire foot of the snow mountain but haven't found Bennett. He's probably fallen into some trap again."
Serius gave a wry smile. He shouldn't have agreed to let Bennett go looking for his friends. Now, he hadn't found his friends and had gotten himself into trouble.
"The will of Heaven is set!"
"We can blow them all up!"
An explosion suddenly came from behind the Spellflowers. Serius's spirits lifted. If he wasn't mistaken, the voice belonged to Klee, the Firework Knight.
Great! It seems he's saved his position as the branch president of the Adventurers' Guild. Serius clenched his fist excitedly, secretly resolving never to hold any more events in the snowy mountains—it's just too damn dangerous.
"Uncle Serius, where are the wounded? I've brought a doctor."
Amber's voice came from the sky. Serius looked up and saw Amber flying in mid-air, holding a child. Seeing that Amber was flying so steadily while holding a child, Serius thought to himself, "She truly deserves to be called a scout knight."
Despite his admiration, Serius immediately directed Amber to land outside a tent. Seeing that Amber had also arrived, Serius was completely relieved. With Amber and Klee around, these ice-type Spellflowers wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
On the snow-capped mountain, Yura looked down at the foot of the mountain with some worry. Although Abedo said that it would be enough for Amber and Qiqi to go down the mountain, she was still worried about the two of them.
“Yura, you don’t need to worry too much. Su Bai has already told me that an astrologer named Mona and Klee have also come down the mountain. With Klee carrying bombs, nothing will happen.”
Seeing that Yura seemed distracted, Abedo kindly offered to comfort her, but Yura responded with a cold snort.
"Hmph, who said I was worried about them? I was just thinking about how I would get my revenge if something happened to them."
"Hehe, with Klee here, I'm not worried about the others. But this guy named Abedo, do you still have that black box that can glow and transmit messages? Let me see it."
Knowing that Abedo and Su Bai had a good relationship, Hu Tao naturally became familiar with them. After all, Abedo was Su Bai's friend, and Su Bai was her friend, so Abedo was also her friend. There was nothing wrong with thinking that way.
"Um, Master Hu, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. The black box I have is just a sample that was just made. I've already given it to Amber and asked her to contact Su Bai again. If you want it, you'll probably have to wait for me to make a new one."
"By the way, Yura, you said you saw another version of myself in the cave just now. Could you tell me more about it?"
Yura nodded and told Abedo what had happened in the cave. After Yura finished, Kurumi added a sentence.
“Amber told me quietly that she had seen Abedo in a place where we encountered an avalanche.”
"Well, I have a general understanding of the situation. I didn't expect that someone would be using my face to do bad things. That's quite interesting."
Abedo's eyes gleamed. He remembered that Su Bai had once asked him a very nonsensical question. Now it seemed that Su Bai hadn't asked the question on a whim, but rather that Su Bai had sensed something.
“Let’s hurry up. Before Amber came down the mountain, I taught her how to use that sample to send messages. Once we reach the top and meet up with Su Bai, you can use the sample Su Bai has to communicate with Amber.”
"Really? That's great! I can't wait to start playing!"
On another path leading to the summit of the snow-capped mountain, Ying looked down at the foot of the mountain with considerable concern. When a member of the Adventurers' Guild requested assistance earlier, only Mona and Klee went down the mountain. She wondered how the two of them were doing now.
"Alright, Ying, don't worry, Mona and Klee will definitely be fine."
“Amber and Qiqi were also sent from Abedo. The four of them can definitely handle a group of Lilium, especially since those Lilium are ice-type.”
Yingwei nodded slightly. What Su Bai said made sense. They were just a bunch of brainless swindlers. If there were enough bombs, Klee could take them all down by herself. Now that four of them were there, they definitely wouldn't have any problems.
Su Bai didn't take it to heart. When Mona came down the mountain, he handed her the sample he had and asked her to send a message with the sample after she finished dealing with the liar flowers at the foot of the mountain.
Judging by the timeline, it should be almost finished. Once Abedo and I meet up, we should be able to see the message Mona sent from the sample that Abedo has.
"By the way, Ying, do you know what things are born from evil forces?"
"Born from the power of evil?"
Su Bai's words left Ying speechless. In other worlds, she had seen far too many things born from evil power, and she had not only seen them but also killed many. However, on the continent of Teyvat, apart from the creatures of the abyss, she had never seen anything else. Oh, no, there was also the Evil Eye used by the Fatui Enforcers, which was also full of evil power.
"Could it be an abyss?"
"No, that power doesn't seem to come from the abyss. It feels more peculiar than the power of the abyss, and that dark figure doesn't seem to have been born entirely from evil."
Recalling the feeling that the dark figure gave him, Su Bai frowned. When he was a child, he and Yi Dou and others often ambushed Abyss Mages. Su Bai was very familiar with the aura of Abyss Mages. The feeling that the dark figure gave him was only somewhat similar to the power of the Abyss.
"Forget it, things will work themselves out. Since that dark figure keeps lingering nearby, he'll definitely show up again. Next time, we'll just catch him and ask him what happened."
Chapter 207 Reunion (2)
"Ahhhhh, help! Someone please save me!"
"Ying, where are you? Waaaaah, am I going to freeze to death here?"
Hearing a familiar voice calling for help just like her own, Paimon's cries for help abruptly stopped. She wiped away her tears, peeked out, and looked down to see which unfortunate soul shared her plight.
Paimon looked in the direction of the cries for help and sure enough, she found a person lying on another piece of debris beneath her. Hmm, she felt like this person's soul was about to crawl out of their mouth again.
"Hey,"
Bennett, who was shivering on the shards of the Frostfire Nail, immediately looked up when he heard a voice above him. In that instant, Bennett felt the warmth of the world. It turned out that someone else was just as unlucky as him. It seemed that he was not the most unlucky one.
"What are you doing here, Bennett? How did you end up here? Shouldn't you be at the camp at the foot of the snow mountain?"
"Um, I originally came to find Amber and the others, but I couldn't find them and was suddenly brought here by this thing that came out from below. Paimon, do you know where they went?"
Because he had someone to talk to, Bennett temporarily forgot his fear. He sat cross-legged on the fragment of the Frost Spike and chatted with Paimon, asking Paimon if he knew anything about Amber and the others.
“Amber and the others separated from us a few days ago. They were originally going to the camp at the foot of the mountain, but it looks like something might have happened on the way.”
Paimon was also puzzled. She remembered that Amber had taken Walnut and Seven to the camp at the foot of the mountain. How could Bennett not have encountered them? Could it be that Amber and the others had also been caught in an avalanche?
"Bennett, did you also encounter an avalanche on your way up the mountain?"
“Paymon, how did you know? I encountered several avalanches on my way up the mountain, and one of them almost buried me.”
"It seems the snow mountain is indeed very dangerous, but Bennett seems to be in danger no matter where he is."
Paimon thought for a moment, then quickly gave up. Sure enough, it was best to leave thinking to Luminous. She could just focus on eating, drinking, and having fun. Besides, with Kurumi around, Amber and the others shouldn't encounter any danger.
"Paimon, Paimon, I'm coming to save you! Can you hear me?"
"Ying, I'm here! Please come and save me, I'm so scared!"
Hearing Ying's voice from below, Paimon hurriedly waved his little arms and shouted loudly, while Bennett looked at Paimon with envious eyes, hoping that his partner would come to his rescue if he were in danger.
Hearing Paimon's voice coming from the Frost Spike fragments in mid-air, Ying rubbed her temples and turned to look at Su Bai, who was laughing heartily beside her.
"I didn't expect you to know Paimon so well, Su Bai. This idiot really forgot that he can fly down."
Su Bai shrugged. He had never overestimated Paimon's intelligence. If Paimon had actually flown down on its own, Su Bai would have suspected that Paimon had been switched with someone else.
"Paimon, you can fly? Hurry up and fly down, don't embarrass yourself up there. You'll definitely laugh at you when Yura and the others come."
"Oh yeah, I think I can fly."
Paimon slapped his forehead, stood up, and flew downwards. Since the fragments of the Frost Spike had thawed, the storm that had long since subsided allowed Paimon to fly smoothly and effortlessly. Even the occasional slight breeze didn't have much of an impact.
"Haha, it might be too late, this master has already seen it~"
With a few clicks, Hu Tao started snapping photos of the Frostfire Nail fragments with a phonograph. Paimon was stunned. Meow meow meow, when did Hu Tao get a phonograph? But now was not the time to think about that. The most important thing was to get down there as soon as possible.
When she flew to Bennett's side, Bennett was looking at Paimon with an envious gaze. Actually, he used to have Wind Wings, but because he was so unlucky, he would break them every time he fell, so he never bought Wind Wings again.
"Bennett, don't look at me like that. I'm too small to carry you."
"But don't worry, Su Bai has already left. If it's him, he'll definitely have a way."
Bennett was relieved to hear Paimon say that. Since his older brother Su Bai had come, he probably wouldn't stay up there for too long. In Bennett's mind, Su Bai was still very reliable.
After Paimon flew down from the Frost Spikes fragment, Ying went up to hug him, but Paimon dodged and flew towards Nutcracker, seemingly intending to headbutt Nutcracker and turn his already flat plain into a basin.
When Hu Tao saw Paimon fly over to her, she put away the photos that the phonograph had spat out and returned the phonograph to Abedo. Based on their conversation on the way, Hu Tao thought Abedo was quite an interesting person. At least Abedo bought the package she was promoting, although it didn't seem to be for himself.
"Give me the photo right now, or else..."
"Otherwise what? Are you planning to fight me, Paimon?"
Hu Tao stuck out her tongue, and her little ghost imitated Hu Tao by making a funny face. This infuriated Paimon, but she had no way to argue with Hu Tao, so she could only stomp her foot in mid-air.
After enjoying Paimon's impotent rage for a moment, Hu Tao returned the photo to Paimon. After all, she wasn't some kind of devil, and she was content with teasing little Paimon occasionally.
While Hu Tao and Paimon were playing around, Su Bai intended to use wind element to catch Bennett, but Abedo, who was standing nearby, acted faster than Su Bai. He manipulated a strange flower to float into the air and caught Bennett, then smoothly brought him to the ground.
"Compared to your half-baked wind element skills, I think it's more reliable for me to do it myself."
"After all, you don't want Bennett to fall into apple pulp like that apple you showed me, right?"
Aberdo rushed to take Bennett away not only because he was worried that Bennett's bad luck would strike and hurt him, but also because he wanted to thank Bennett for playing with Klee before. As Klee's brother, he knew how mischievous Klee was.
Bennett, who had been rescued, shivered. Although he didn't know Abeldo, he still politely thanked him.
"Thank you so much, brother. I thought I was going to die here today."
"No need for words of thanks. As a member of the Knights of Favonius, it is my duty to rescue Mondstadt people in distress. Besides, you took care of Klee before. Both in public and in private, it is only right that I save you."
With nothing else to do, Su Bai took out some firewood and ingredients and found a sheltered spot to build a campfire to welcome everyone to rest. The intense journey had taken a toll on their physical strength, and Ying's forehead was almost frozen into ice beads. Moreover, Bennett was so cold that he needed to warm up by the fire.
Chapter 208 Reunion (3)
"Su Bai, where's your sample? I gave mine to Amber. Ask Amber if the 'scam flower' problem at the foot of Amber Mountain has been solved yet."
After spending a few days together, Abedo and Su Bai had become good friends. At least Su Bai didn't have to worry about Abedo dissecting him while he was sleeping.
"What? You gave your sample to Amber? I gave the sample I had to Mona. I was thinking of asking you about it after we met up."
Su Bai and Abedo exchanged a glance. Well, it seems they won't be able to understand the situation at the foot of the mountain until the third sample is assembled. Abedo said with some distress, rubbing his forehead.
"Let's rest for a bit and then head back to base. There are enough parts at base to make many prototypes. We also need to know about the situation at the camp down the mountain."
Su Bai shrugged, mainly because he hadn't expected to be so in sync with Abedo. The warm flames on his face brought a bit of comfort, but after seeing Shen He and Yura face off again, he sighed helplessly.
"I'm not worried about the situation down the mountain right now. After all, with Klee around, nothing serious will happen. Even if the tent is accidentally set on fire, Mona is there, so it won't be a big deal."
"What I'm concerned about now is why Shenhe and Yura are going up against each other again. Their auras are just too terrifying."
Su Bai retracted the four tails behind him. Ying shook her head helplessly as she sensed the aura emanating from Shen He and You La. She had done all she could. She hadn't expected these two to run into each other again. Was this fate?
While everyone was warming themselves by the fire, Hu Tao, the clever little girl, was also busy. She was very curious about the stone pillar that Shen He had brought back, the one with the warm fairy spirit residing on it. She had never known before that this stone pillar could actually be pulled out.
"By the way, who is this guy? Why is he stuck in the sky like Paimon?"
Hu Tao stared at Bennett for a moment. Although Bennett didn't have any serious injuries, he had many different kinds of scars. Hu Tao was very curious about what Bennett's profession was, since he had so many scars at such a young age.
Bennett was taken aback when Walnut suddenly spoke to him, then immediately stood up and stammered.
"Hello, I'm Bennett."
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. I'm not some man-eating monster. Speak slowly."
"Hehe, I never expected anyone would actually strike up a conversation with me, it's unbelievable."
