I am in Genshin Impact, I can use the stick warrior talent

Although he really wanted to continue, Su Chen knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Besides, it was already in his mouth, and it was only a matter of time before he got the Confucian cave. So he didn't rush, but nodded, stood up, put on his pants and prepared to leave.

"Su Chen...wait."

Just as Su Chen was about to leave, Gan Yu called him.

"Tonight, you sleep next to me..."

PS: The book was just released recently, so I’ll test Shen He first and then continue to make a big splash.

In addition, today is Ganyu’s birthday, so I wrote more Ganyu segments specially. The Ganyu chapter will be finished in these two days, and then the previous rhythm will be restored. If it is still blocked by Shenhe, I will release it to the entire subscription group.

Chapter 244: The Trap of the Salt of the Earth

The next day, the afternoon sun shines on the ancient remains of Salt of the Earth.

"Just as Miss Wanyan described... this place is indeed filled with strong magical fluctuations. But this fluctuation seems to be very chaotic, as if it is a newborn power that has just been born."

Ganyu glanced gently across the rocks, a hint of serious thought in her eyes.

She raised her head and said to Su Chen seriously, "It seems that we need to explore the ruins of the Salt God ourselves. Su Chen, what do you think about this?"

Su Chen pondered for a moment and replied: "Ganyu, as you have observed, this power seems to erupt from the bottom up. It seems that the source of the fluctuation may be deep in the ruins."

He nodded and began to look for the real entrance to the ruins based on his memory.

Su Chen thought that even though Liyue’s sky was bright most of the time now, there were always some dark truths hidden behind every clear sky.

Su Chen shook his head, clearing his mind of distracting thoughts, and his eyes suddenly fell on a hidden crevice in the rocks. He was sure that this was the entrance.

So he turned to Ganyu and shouted, "Ganyu, come and have a look, I found the entrance."

Gan Yu heard the shout, looked up from studying the words on the broken rock, and responded with some surprise: "Su Chen, you are really amazing."

Ganyu walked and pondered, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She felt that Su Chen was hiding many secrets, which made her feel that there seemed to be some kind of imbalance between the two of them. Whenever she thought of this, Ganyu felt uncomfortable.

"What's wrong, Ganyu? You look like something is on your mind." Su Chen noticed the change in Ganyu's expression, walked a few steps closer, and asked with concern.

Gan Yu temporarily suppressed her inner struggle and asked, "Su Chen, didn't Paimeng come with you today?"

She decided to change the subject to hide her discomfort.

Suchen recalled what Paimon said last night, when she insisted on giving him and Ganyu more private space, which made him smile slightly and reply, "Paimon? She might be out looking for delicious food again. Ganyu, the journey ahead may be a little difficult, but I'm glad to have your company, and we'll spend a lot of time together."

"A long time...?" Ganyu repeated softly, with an inexplicable feeling in her heart.

"It's time for us to set off, Ganyu. The power fluctuation has not been resolved yet." Su Chen led the way forward.

"Yes I know."

Ganyu nodded in agreement.

Ganyu's mind was filled with complicated thoughts. She decided to go deep underground first and let these secret ideas slowly brew in the darkness.

Looking at Su Chen's firm steps, he seemed unaware of the weight of what he said. Ganyu sighed softly in her heart, shook her head, gathered all her attention, and followed his footsteps.

The moment she stepped into the ruins, Ganyu immediately felt a pungent salty taste, accompanied by a cold and dry breath, which made her feel uncomfortable all over as if she was pricked by countless needles.

"Are these... statues?" she asked in surprise.

Looking around, I saw only faint lights flickering in the dimness, and there were two impressive statues nearby.

One of the statues opened its mouth in fear, and its hands seemed to be trying to resist some irresistible force, but its whole body had solidified and its expression was hideous.

The other statue has its back to the statue, with its hands clasped together and its body curled up, as if it is offering its final prayer. Its posture is relatively more complete.

Ganyu's perception is extremely sharp, she can feel anything unusual around her without touching it with her hands.

"These statues... no, they should be called salt statues. Why do they have such expressions? Unless..."

Ganyu's brows were furrowed and her tone was heavy.

She stared at the two salt statues and was about to remind Su Chen something, but found that he had already walked to the corner.

Gan Yu hurriedly caught up with Su Chen and climbed the steps covered with gray salt. When her eyes looked into the deep ruins, the scene before her became even more gloomy and empty.

There were salt statues everywhere around, and fine salt was scattered on the ground. Except for Su Chen's golden hair, this place seemed to have lost all light and warmth.

"Su Chen, this relic was originally the territory of the demon god. How could it be so desolate and miserable? And these salt statues, how were they formed?" There was a hint of confusion and puzzlement in Gan Yu's voice.

Su Chen sighed and responded: "The reason why the ruins are called ruins is because they have been forgotten by the world and are deserted and lonely. There has never been anyone here, so it naturally looks so desolate."

"But these salt statues..." Ganyu hadn't finished speaking when suddenly, screams of three hillbillies were heard not far away, and they suddenly rushed towards the two of them.

Su Chen shouted softly: "Desolate planet."

In an instant, a huge rock crystal fell from the sky, dust flew everywhere, and the hill people were trapped in the dust.

This is a new skill that Yingmei learned after coming to Liyue. During an in-depth exchange with Yingmei, Su Chen used the "Dragon Drainage" talent to obtain this elemental combat skill from her. (Yingmei has written about it too many times, so I will omit it.)

I have to say that it is very useful, especially in Liyue, an area with rich rock elements. Many elemental mechanisms can be solved using the Desolate Star, and it can also be used to suppress various monsters.

It is really an essential skill for traveling at home and completing commissions.

Su Chen brushed the dust off his hands and was about to explain to Ganyu, but he saw that the hillbillies were still struggling and continuing their attack.

"These Hilichurls seem to be strengthened by some kind of power." Su Chen grabbed the wooden stick of a Hilichurl who was rushing towards him, quickly snatched it away, turned around and stabbed the tip of the stick into his back.

The Stick Hillman fell to the ground suddenly, his life or death unknown.

Throwing the stick into the air, Su Chen quickly attacked while it was spinning, punching another Hilichurl on the head. Then he quickly grabbed the flying stick and threw it at the last Hilichurl, causing both of them to lose balance instantly.

Seizing the opportunity, Su Chen summoned out a rock crystal again, and the two hillbillies were knocked into the depths of the ruins.

"Huh...that movement is so neat and clean." Su Chen gently brushed the tip of his nose, and when he looked back, he found Gan Yu quietly holding the ice bow, her expression looking a little helpless.

"Haha, Ganyu, you seem ready to take action." He smiled easily.

Gan Yu shook her head slightly and said, "It's okay, Su Chen, the way you handled it just now was very appropriate."

"I have to thank you for your support behind me." Su Chen responded half-jokingly.

Hearing this, Gan Yu could not help but be slightly stunned. She lowered her head and walked briskly past Su Chen. Su Chen could only vaguely hear her muttering softly: "What a smooth-talking guy."

"Wait for me, Ganyu." Su Chen quickened his pace to catch up with her, with a smile on his face and a sense of relief in his heart.

he thought.

But Su Chen's gaze fell on the rock wall of the broken bridge in front of him again, and his brows couldn't help but frown slightly.

At the same time, at the edge of the Salt of the Earth outside the ruins, several members of the Fatui were spying stealthily.

"I never expected that we would run into these two big fish this time!" one of them said secretly.

"That's right, especially that blond boy. He ruined our plan last time!"

Another Fatui said angrily, but at the same time a trace of worry arose in his heart.

"However, is it really okay to use the Hundred Taboos Talisman this time?" he asked.

"Don't worry, this is a version improved by the Doctor himself. Although we're not sure if it can awaken the remaining demon power, it can at least ensure that they are trapped in the ruins." The leader of the Fatui said confidently.

Everyone discussed plans with each other and decided to report to their superiors after completing the mission, and prepared to inform Captain Kukgar of the latest situation.

At the same time, deep in the Salt God ruins, in the Broken Sword Shrine, Su Chen looked at Gan Yu who was in deep thought and couldn't help but sigh, feeling that things were becoming more and more complicated.

Chapter 245 "Romeo and Juliet" Psychology

"Is this an earthquake? Hurry, Su Chen, protect yourself!" Gan Yu said anxiously.

"Ganyu, we have to leave here quickly!" Su Chen reacted quickly, protecting his head and pushing away the falling rocks.

He reached out and tightly grasped Ganyu's hand, and the two rushed to the exit together. The earthquake's vibrations became more and more intense, and the salt particles around them trembled with it, and an atmosphere of urgency filled the air.

With a loud "boom!", the originally solid stone door began to shake and cracks appeared everywhere. Just when Su Chen and Gan Yu almost reached the door, the door could not bear the weight and finally collapsed.

"Ganyu, hurry, be careful!" Su Chen shouted anxiously, while summoning out the rock pillars of the desolate star repeatedly.

As the ashes rose, Su Chen used all his strength to use the Desolate Star. Waves of golden rock elemental power surged, and he continued to construct Desolate Star rock pillars until they completely surrounded him and Ganyu.

At this time, the top floor of the ruins also began to collapse.

"Ganyu!" Su Chen shouted, and instinctively hugged Ganyu tightly in his arms, using his body to shield her from the falling rocks.

The surroundings were in chaos, and the flying dust obscured his vision. Su Chen closed his eyes tightly, concentrating on feeling the warmth of Gan Yu in his arms.

"Cough cough...Ganyu, are you okay?" Su Chen asked while coughing.

Finally, when the shaking around them subsided, the two were covered in dust. Su Chen carefully helped Gan Yu up, and the corners of her clothes were covered with salt.

"Su Chen, are you okay?" Gan Yu nervously wiped the dust off Su Chen's face, her eyes full of worry.

In the crisis just now, Su Chen protected her tightly, and even couldn't speak in despair. Now seeing that Su Chen was safe and sound, she couldn't help but well up in tears.

Su Chen said softly: "I'm fine...but it looks like we may not be able to get out for a while."

Ganyu looked back and saw that the two of them were trapped in a pile of ruins. The original exit had been completely blocked, turning it into a closed cage.

"Now, whose help can we expect?" Su Chen asked softly, his hand gently holding Gan Yu's delicate wrist. Although his nose was still intoxicated by the fragrance of her hair, the bleak scene before him made him smile bitterly.

For three days, they were trapped in the Broken Sword Shrine of the Salt of the Earth. This once solemn shrine is now in ruins. The bricks have collapsed, dust is everywhere, and only broken rubble is left lying quietly on the hard ground, adding a bit of gloom to this already dim space.

"Desolate Planet!" Su Chen's voice rang out in the silence. He summoned a huge rock crystal and smashed it into the collapsed gate.

However, the rubble piled in front of the door remained indestructible.

"Failed again... How heavy are these rocks..."

Su Chen sighed, a trace of sadness flashed in his golden eyes. He pressed his forehead against the rock wall that blocked his way, and pounded on the wall weakly, but it did not cause any movement.

In this closed space, they not only face the problem of difficulty in condensing elemental power, but even the most basic living conditions have become precarious.

Although the dry food for the two was enough to sustain them for a few days, an imminent problem made Su Chen uneasy - water source.

This is the territory of the Salt Demon. It is a dry and hot environment where it is almost impossible to find a usable water source.

However, this is not a difficult task for Su Chen. He can not only use rock elements, but also water elements.

Even though the water elements around are very scarce, we can still rely on the Water Element God's Eye to condense some clean water. This may be the greatest convenience that the water element can bring besides treatment.

However, Su Chen did not intend to do so now, because he had already displayed the "Desolate Planet" and used the power of rock element before. Ganyu would naturally think that Su Chen was the owner of the Rock Element God's Eye. But now if he used the water element power again, he would probably have to explain for a while to explain why he could master multiple elemental powers.

More importantly, only by creating these difficulties can Su Chen have the opportunity to spend more time with Ganyu.

At the same time, in the [Eighteen Secrets of Picking Up Girls by Neptune] obtained from System Ji, it is written that when you are with a girl, you must create difficulties and obstacles. Only after you have solved these difficulties and obstacles together with the girl, will the girl's feelings for you become stronger, deeper, and she will be more attentive to you.

This is the "Romeo and Juliet" mentality in psychology.

……

"How could this happen!" Su Chen's fists hit the wall heavily, and each impact was accompanied by the echo of stones.

He raised his head, and his originally handsome face now looked a little distorted due to the dust.

"Su Chen..." Gan Yu approached softly. After staring at the hard rock wall for a while, she turned to Su Chen and gently comforted him:

“Don’t worry too much. The deadline I originally agreed with Miss Ningguang was three days. Now, this deadline should have passed. If I don’t return to Liyue Harbor, Miss Ningguang will definitely feel something is wrong and send someone to rescue us.”

Her expression was gentle and there was a comforting light in her eyes, as if she could bring a ray of light in this dark moment and calm Su Chen's anxious mood.

Su Chen looked at her and felt a warmth in his heart. Gan Yu's purple eyes, blue hair and white clothes had become a comfort in his heart.

At the deepest part of the ruins, Su Chen stared at the densely packed salt statues, and his doubts deepened.

His thoughts were interrupted, and as he explored, he found two unusual talismans behind the last door of the ruins.

"It's actually the Talisman of No Taboos!" Su Chen exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly called Gan Yu.

"Ganyu, come and see this!" he called.

Gan Yu came quickly, and her eyes fell on the two talismans. "Is there anything unusual here?" she asked.

"Look at these two talismans with no taboos. Do you think they are real? Why do they appear here?" Su Chen asked urgently.

After a careful examination, Ganyu replied softly, "They look similar to the real thing, but there are some differences in the details."

She gently took the talismans off and compared them carefully: "The real one with no taboos was drawn by the emperor himself, using precious purple cinnabar, while these two are just painted with ordinary pigments, and seem to be infused with some special power."

"Special power?"

Su Chen asked in confusion.
