Is there something wrong with playing Genshin Impact in the dungeon?

Fortunately, thanks to Ying's earlier warning, an elven healer nearby had already provided emergency treatment to the royal family member.

But in order for the latter's injuries to fully heal...

[Stars gather here—]

Having regained some of her magic, Ying summoned Barbara and asked her to heal Riveria.

It was at this time...

"Including you, there are eighteen people here."

Mr. Hedin's rather calm voice came from the side.

Ying tilted her head and could confirm that the 'Black and White Twin Swords' and the [Four Flame Warriors] were all there.

The remaining 11 people were all members of the Loki Familia.

"Where did that kid Sora go?"

Grandpa Grace suddenly asked this question.

Upon hearing this…

"At the very moment that 'rain of light' struck, Sora had already teleported back to Orario using 'teleportation magic'."

Ying said calmly, "He wants to report what happened here to Sister Freya and the 'Guild' to Fang Zhixiao."

After he said that, many people around him looked rather strange.

Even the Four Flame Warriors...

Unfortunately, Ling Shu (Kong)'s actions just now appeared to others as if he had 'deserted in the face of battle'.

Regarding this...

"This is a strategic policy that Kong and I discussed a long time ago—in extremely dangerous situations, one of us must leave the battlefield."

"In this way, both of their lives can be saved."

Ying could see the suspicion in everyone's hearts, and at the same time, she knew that the current situation was extremely serious and that this trend had to be nipped in the bud, so she briefly mentioned this matter.

Finally, he said very seriously, "Under these circumstances, if a situation arises where someone has to cover the rear, I will be the one to take responsibility."

"Because, and only I, with the remote assistance of Kong, am most capable of doing this well."

Once these words are spoken...

"..."

The others understood.

This is also what makes the "Twin Stars" phenomenon special.

Moreover, since Yingdu has put it this way, any remaining suspicions in their hearts will naturally dissipate.

Thus, the potential for suspicion was nipped in the bud...

What should we do next?

The astute Hedin and Riveria have realized that the core of the group is no longer the older generation of adventurers.

Everyone was subconsciously following Ying's instructions.

It was under these circumstances that...

"Kong and I will try to find a way to confirm the condition of the surface first."

Ying replied in the shortest possible words: "After that, whether we start the campaign against the 'Secret Realm Scorpion' directly or retreat temporarily, we need to see the current situation in the 'military camp' before we make any decisions."

"I hope so..."

She sighed helplessly, "There are still people who have survived."

Chapter 173 Shocking Change

For Ling Shu (Kong) and Ying, it was actually very simple to find out the current situation in the 'military camp'.

It's worth noting that, in order to provide the main body with the opportunity to update its [ability values], the former had already moved the 'teleportation anchor point' originally located in the 39th floor of the dungeon to the Great Tree Sea border defense line.

Currently, the intact 'teleportation anchor' still stands on the earth... It is the location where the Freya Familia originally built their camp.

Even though the surrounding landscape had been completely altered and the fragile camp had long since turned into ruins, the extremely conspicuous crystal cone-shaped structure remained completely undamaged.

It even attracted the attention of the enormous creature that had recently emerged from the ground, standing nearly a hundred meters tall.

The pure black 'Scorpion' had never seen anything like it before.

It instinctively moved forward...

"Bang~"

Because of its enormous size, even a simple step it takes is like a natural disaster, with flying sand and stones, and shaking mountains and the earth.

Finally, 'Scorpion' arrived in front of the 'teleportation anchor point', possessing it and staring at it with its bloodshot single eye...

"Nao da yo~"

"Pfft~"

The change came too suddenly.

That was a figure far too small for Scorpio.

She appeared in sight without warning, and then... abruptly pulled out two sharp red daggers with a curse that prevented wounds from healing, and plunged them into the 'Scorpion's' enormous eyeballs.

It was completely unexpected.

But just as she landed her first blow, her petite figure vanished instantly.

Scorpio wanted revenge but couldn't find a way.

and……

Its vision has been taken away.

next moment……

"Boom~"

It was that same chilling, corrupt divine power that surged into the sky once more.

The 'rain of light' seems about to fall again.

And before that, Scorpio itself had already started to feel pain and make a fuss.

As mentioned earlier, with its enormous size, even a simple movement can cause great damage to the surrounding environment.

Not to mention, it is now completely enraged.

That was the devastating power that hysteria brought to everything around it.

But at that very moment...

"Om~"

A figure suddenly appeared beside the indestructible 'teleportation anchor'.

When he appeared, he was already surrounded by a semi-transparent golden jade shield.

It was the Emperor.

at the moment……

"Friend, this time we might have to do something a little bit reckless."

He appears to be communicating with someone remotely.

Then, it ended with a brief recitation...

"Crackling sound~"

The land, already ravaged by 'Scorpion', suddenly cracked open.

A dark golden rock spear, ninety-five meters long and conspicuous even compared to the size of the 'Scorpion', condensed and took shape directly from the crack... and then soared into the sky.

Its suspended position was not too far off the ground...

Because if this move is forcibly activated, the magical power supplied to the Emperor from the 'rear' is no longer sufficient.

At the same time, the 'rain of light' from the sky has fallen again.

Faced with the opponent's premature, wide-area annihilation offensive that gave them no chance, and their own very limited energy reserves, the Emperor, whose combat experience had been accumulated over thousands of years, understood far better than Ling Shu how to 'give up' and how to 'choose', and thus made use of the limited resources at hand to seize the opportunity and deliver a decisive blow that could decide the outcome.

In an instant...

"唪~"

The rising rock spears descended almost simultaneously with the 'rain of light' from the sky.

The 'Rain of Light' avoided the location of 'Scorpio'.

It was precisely by taking advantage of this that the Emperor, with his unparalleled combat experience, easily entered the 'safe zone' located around 'Scorpion', and then... as he looked up, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Bah~"

The giant rock spear he created has already struck 'Scorpion' in the head.

and……

"Buzz~"

Energy ripples, resembling sacred characters, emerged and began to spread outwards.

At this moment, it's more accurate to say that the dark gold giant construct acts like an impact hammer rather than a rock spear.

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

A muffled sound, much like an energy pulse, spread out again and again.

The 'Scorpion' that was hit by the rock spear was pressed down and became shorter.

Even the joints of those limbs and feet, unable to withstand the immense pressure, oozed... no, they were 'spurted out' dark purple, murky blood.
