I'm in the Teyvat running group

Yunxiu casually snapped her fingers twice, instantly casting her [Immaculate Dao Realm] feat effect on the two of them, granting them extremely high resistance to mental and illusion magic.

Squeak squeak squeak ——————?

"Sizzle—!"

A mournful sound emerged from the mist, then vanished as a red dot.

Yunxiu was radiating a faint halo, and the information on the panel made his scalp tingle.

"You have been subjected to magical mind-control. You must undergo an intelligence and physical assessment using DC28!"

"You rolled 12 points. Due to the [All Laws Return to Stillness] feat, all your attribute bonuses are doubled. Your Intelligence score is 40 points, and your Constitution score is 28 points. The judgment is successful!"

"You have perfectly defended against the mental attack. Your feat [Causal Reflection] has been triggered, and this damage has been fully reflected back to the caster!"

so close!

Yunxiu almost failed the physical test!

Of course, if you pass the intelligence test, you won't be controlled or affected, and if you fail the physical test, you'll at most lose some health points, which is still acceptable.

"Are you alright?" Yueji asked Yunxiu with concern. "My mother lent me her mirror before she left. I'll give it to you to use."

"No need, it's still within my acceptable range."

Yunxiu's intelligence attribute is too high, with a bonus of up to 14 points. Under the condition of doubled judgment, unless a legendary character directly attacks him with mind, it will not be of much significance.

As for whether Heguan has any legends...

It's safe to say that if there's one person in the most urgent situation, it's definitely not Yunxiu.

With a rival legend appearing on the front lines near the Dark Sea, Yunxiu could foresee the consequences. After all, for Lei Movie, having already shattered two islands, a third wouldn't matter...

The two walked hand in hand to several strange thunderbird statues. One of the thunderbird statues seemed to have noticed their arrival and blinked its eyes slightly.

Then he spat out a feather from his mouth.

"There are words..."

Yunxiu picked up the feather and carefully examined the ancient characters on it. He analyzed the ancient characters of Heguan for a long time but could only understand four of them, so he could only give it to Yueji.

"It says here..."

"First, the fog is alive; it can deceive you. Always trust the glowing Thunderbird statue, not your eyes."

Suddenly, the other Thunderbirds also spat out their feathers at the same time!

Tsukihime, looking displeased, took out the second piece.

"Secondly, the cycle is both a protection and a curse. Every day is 'today.' If you clearly remember 'yesterday,' never show it."

"There are nine strange rules in total..."

Chapter 149: The Test and the Darkening of Yunxiu! (First update on Sunday!)

What a bizarre rule!

Yunxiu was quite troubled, mainly because he wasn't very good at dealing with these kinds of things...

In the original Genshin Impact game, the Fog Sea Chronicles is a rather unusual and fantastical storyline, so much so that many people haven't finished playing it.

Of course, as a scholar of the original world, Yunxiu not only finished the game but also wrote a very detailed analysis. But that doesn't mean he liked it; after all, the place was indeed quite eerie, and most players actually felt terrified while playing.

What are the remaining seven?

"Well... let me take a look."

Tsukihime translated the other rules one by one.

"Third, the residents are living epitaphs, their invitation is your epitaph, and once you sign it, you will gain an eternal 'today'."

"Fourth, the name of the Thunderbird should not be uttered. If you hear weeping in the thunder, it is the prelude to your requiem."

Fifth, what you stand on is not soil, but memories of the past.

"Sixth, Aru is the eternal protagonist, but before Thunderbird allows it, any attempt to take him away will result in you taking his place."

"Seventh, you will find the 'wooden reed flute,' but it is not a musical instrument; rather, it is a scalpel for the senses. Blow it, and you will see them, and they will see you."

"Eighth, the perch is the wound of the world, and the feathers are the long stitches. Use a scalpel to stitch them up and open the door to the 'divine realm'."

"Ninth, the moment the mist turns from purple to red, the law will temporarily break down, taking Aryu away, or you will remain here forever."

"That's why I don't really like this place..."

Based solely on ability, it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to tell Tsukihime to quickly clear the Crane Gate Pass, but clearing it quickly would mean not getting any information.

At least for now, we need to find a way to repair all the perches at several points before the fog can be dissipated, Aru can be taken away, and only then can Crane Watch become a little more normal.

It's a little bit, because this place is still too close to the Dark Outer Sea.

"Let's go, let's find the first place first." Yunxiu flicked her index finger, casting the [Mind Link] spell on herself and Yueji, and then said, "If anything happens, just tell me."

At the same time, he thought to himself:

"If my words and telepathic communication are inconsistent, the telepathic communication shall prevail."

Yueji looked at him and nodded.

The two walked into Crane View Island. The roads here were relatively normal, but the strange spirits and mist that kept appearing around them were trying to destroy their minds at all times.

At least Yunxiu's panel was constantly filled with all sorts of damage numbers.

However, due to Yunxiu's powerful Guixu Fate Seat and mental barrier, all mental attacks were blocked!

Even if a powerful ghost occasionally causes a small amount of damage, it's negligible compared to Yunxiu's hundreds of thousands of health points.

As for Tsukihime, her legendary resistances prevented these monsters from even forcibly reducing her health...

The soil here is quite strange; it's less like soil and more like soft sawdust, or even just soil dust. Even when soil is crushed into small pieces, it hardens when stepped on, and with enough people walking on it, it can even form a road.

But soft wood chips didn't; Yunxiu and Yueji didn't even leave any footprints on the ground.

An eerie atmosphere, strange roads, and unpleasant soil...

There were also strange sounds drifting around.

Come……

Come……

Come……

But Yunxiu remembered the rules firmly and did not respond to a single word.

After traveling through this eerie fog for about thirty minutes, Yunxiu had been subjected to more than seven hundred mental attacks!

Of course, most of these attacks are hypnotic and seductive in nature, and if Yunxiu doesn't actively resist, they will most likely only happen once or twice. After entering a strange "assimilation" state, she will be guided to the sacrificial site of Heguan.

Unfortunately, Yunxiu and Yueji's defensive abilities were too strong, so they never managed to enter that inexplicable "state"...

However, this does not mean that they have no way to enter the fog; in fact, the fog is constantly trying to lure them in.

Strange... there's no sign of the little boy, Aruru...

As Yunxiu pondered this, she and Yueji walked through the strange door.

Chirp... Squeak...

Strange noises increased, and even sobbing began to appear.

"If you hear sobbing amidst the thunder, that is the prelude to your requiem..." Tsukihime murmured.

Suddenly, a strange purple light poured directly into Yunxiu and Yueji's bodies. The distorted light danced wildly on the two of them, as if it wanted to forcibly send them to an indescribable place!

"You have been subjected to mind control magic. You must undergo an intelligence test using DC32!"

"You have perfectly defended against the mental attack. Your feat [Causal Reflection] has been triggered, and this damage has been fully reflected back to the caster!"

The purple light could not penetrate the deepest part of Yunxiu's body and was eventually forcibly dispersed into the world.

Suddenly, transparent ripples emanated from Yunxiu's body, flying out in all directions.

"The attacker...wasn't it just one person...?" Yunxiu thought for a moment and realized the reason. It was most likely a group attack. As for who it was...

Those are most likely the original inhabitants of Heguan.

After the attack proved ineffective, the fog seemed to calm down and the strange shadows and attacks disappeared.

Yunxiu certainly didn't think it was because she was incredibly charming; it was more likely that she was hurt by her own counterattack and was planning her next attack.

"This attack is very similar to a magical beast that my mother once defeated, as I remember it..." Yueji thought for a moment and looked at Yunxiu, saying, "It's that strange thunder spirit from Tianyun Pass..."

“Everything here is indeed related to him, but now I can’t be sure how much more related he is.” Yunxiu pondered for a moment: “Right now we can only defend and not fight back, otherwise it will be a problem whether we can get any information at all.”

After saying that, he paused, took Yueji's hand, and continued walking forward: "Do you feel that you might be affected by the attack?"

"My aunt's greatest strength is this, how could I possibly be affected by it?" Tsukihime boasted, "Compared to my aunt's spiritual power, it's nothing!"

That's true...

The two walked a little further and saw an even larger gate, with faint flickering flames below.

Yunxiu realized that this was probably the "Mochi Festival Ground," the place where Aru was worshipped by the residents of Tsurukan in the original work.

"It seems like there are people there." Tsukihime looked closely: "There seem to be many people under that strange gate."

"It's not surprising that someone..."

After passing through a strange rock, Yunxiu's vision suddenly changed. It seemed that Crane Temple had returned to normal. The strange gate was still there, but the area below had become a bustling scene.

Many residents stood there, and among them, surrounded by a group of children, was a child wearing a strange straw hat, who stood under the gate, seemingly oblivious to the strange looks from those around him.

"You...are you from out of town?" A resident looked at the two and asked in a friendly manner, "Would you like to join us for the festival?"

"I……"

"Third, the residents are living epitaphs, their invitation is your epitaph, and once you sign it, you will gain an eternal 'today'."

A voice rang in Yueji's heart, and she suddenly shut her mouth, looking at Yunxiu for help.

“My husband and I are just passing by and will only take a quick look before leaving. Please don’t bother,” Yunxiu said with a smile. “I’ve never seen such a ritual before.”

"Wow, big brothers, are you from out of town? Can you take me out to play?" The little boy jumped down and rushed straight to Yunxiu: "I've never seen the outside world before!"

"Sixth, Aru is the eternal protagonist, but before Thunderbird allows it, any attempt to take him away will result in you taking his place."
