The treasure thieves of Teyvat rob Shenhe

"That's the situation. You don't have to worry. I'm here and will find a way to cure you." Tinari said with a smile.

After that, lunch was over, Cole informed the other rangers, and Tinari went to make medicine.

Lin Ye and four others were left in the room.

"Are you afraid of hardship?" Lin Ye asked Ying.

"Do you like taking medicine?" Ying asked back.

"I don't like it, especially when someone tells me, come, take the medicine." Lin Ye said.

“…Seriously, Lin Ye, do you think what we saw was really an illusion?” Ying said seriously.

"Have you heard of the World Tree?"

Chapter 590 Amber, Angel!

world Tree?

Ying learned the basic concept of the World Tree from Lin Ye, and she looked thoughtful.

The consciousness of Xumi's Grass God is connected to the World Tree, and she was connected to the World Tree by chance, and as a result, she was connected to the Grass God!

Ying, who had experience traveling in the Three Kingdoms, smelled a hint of trouble. When gods were involved, there would always be waves of one kind or another.

Her journey to Mount Sumeru may be closely related to the World Tree.

"Tinari is obviously deceiving us, but he shouldn't be a bad person. Maybe he is wary of us because we are strangers," said Lin Ye.

Ying nodded in approval.

"During the convalescent observation period, first try to gather intelligence. That Cole is a breakthrough point."

"it is good."

If four people go to find Cole together, it might scare her, so Ying and Paimeng are sent out.

Lin Ye and Shen He asked other forest rangers.

The living conditions in Huachengguo are not as good as those in Xumi City. Supplies are scarce, the rainforest environment is hot and humid, and it is not easy to store food. People have to eat mushrooms every day, and the forest rangers here have a hard life.

Due to work requirements, they often had to spend the night in the wild and had irregular meals, so they invented a convenient food called pocket biscuits.

But no matter how delicious the pocket cakes are, you will get tired of them and feel that they are dry, stuffed and hard.

When Shen He was cooking soup in the kitchen, the unfamiliar aroma attracted many forest rangers. They wanted to get close to Shen He and taste more of his delicious soup.

The ranger in charge of meals is Auntie Wei, who discusses menus with Shen He.

Lin Ye found that he was redundant at this time and could not join in the conversation.

Lin Ye can also cook. The food is not bad, but not delicious either. It is just average, with the expected flavors of simple ingredients, but not so delicious that the diners will burst their clothes.

Most foodies are picky about food, but that doesn’t mean they are good at cooking.

On the other side, Ying and Paimon found Cole.

After notifying the other forest rangers, Kelai went back to her job. She had to clean the seven-day statue today.

Ying controls the element of wind, so cleaning is easy. She had helped the nuns clean the Seven Days statues near the Dawn Winery in Mond before, and she was very good at it.

After a moment's hesitation, Cole accepted Ying and Paimon's kindness.

They had not been together for long, and the first impression Cole gave Ying was that he was well-intentioned but somewhat distant.

"Before we reach the Seven Days Statue, check the street lights along the way," said Cole.

The rainforest environment is humid and hot, with heavy rainfall throughout the year, which breeds poisonous insects. This is their breeding ground, but it restricts humans everywhere, so one needs to be extremely careful when living here. In addition, the soil is soft and buildings are prone to collapse, which is why rangers live in tents.

Paimon went to pick fruit, but he didn't notice the venomous snake whose scales were the same color as the tree trunk, and he was almost bitten.

At the critical moment, Ying reached out and grabbed the poisonous snake, playing with it like a skipping rope.

Viper: ...

Paimeng was still frightened. When traveling in the wild, he would encounter wild beasts, but poisonous snakes and insects were rare.

"Cole, do you deal with these scary guys every day?"

"It's actually okay," Kelai looked at the snake catcher Ying in awe and explained, "A forest ranger's job is very broad. He checks road conditions, maintains forest facilities, eliminates fire hazards, and provides assistance to tourists and residents..."

"If it's Master, he often goes to deal with the dangerous dead zone in the forest. Compared with that, poison is nothing. Master also made the corresponding antidote."

"Death realm?"

"You haven't encountered it yet, right? The dead zone absorbs the vitality of trees and pollutes the surrounding environment. Ordinary people will be in danger of their lives if they stay in it for a long time."

"Master possesses the Eye of God, which allows him to resist contamination and move around in the dead zone for a period of time."

"Kole also has the Eye of God."

"Yeah...but my master doesn't let me do these things, saying it's very dangerous." Cole said helplessly.

"This is probably Tinari's way of protecting you," Paimon said comfortingly.

Travelers often forbade her to do this or that, some of which were indeed dangerous.

"I want to help everyone." Cole said, "Wait for me..."

Ke Lai didn't say anything else and went to check the street lights.

Ying and Paimeng looked at each other, it seemed that Cole had something to hide.

When everyone arrived in front of the Seven Heavens Statue, they cleaned up, hurried on their way and worked until it was already dusk.

"Cuckoo~"

"I brought some pocket biscuits. If you don't mind, you can have them." Cole took out a pocket biscuit and handed it to Paimeng.

But her hands seemed to be out of control and she couldn't hold the pancake, and just like the bowl last time, it fell to the ground.

"Oh, sorry." Cole quickly picked it up.

"I wrapped it with a lot of oil paper, so it shouldn't be dirty."

"If something falls on the ground, you can pick it up and eat it within three seconds." Ying said with a smile.

The pocket pancakes made by Cole taste better, have more side dishes and rich taste.

"It's delicious, what is this?"

"Pocket biscuits are easy to store. Rangers like to carry them." Cole said, "Would you like some water, Paimon?"

"Well, thank you!"

After eating and drinking, the sky gradually darkened.

"Let's go back quickly. The rainforest is very dangerous at night. Just follow the street lights on the way back."

"This is where the meaning of a ranger's job comes into play. Cole, you are a great man."

"That's not an exaggeration. I'm still an apprentice, but I hope that one day, I can become someone like her."

"Tinari?"

"Not him... Of course I respect my master very much. He is very knowledgeable and has a lot of knowledge in his head that I cannot understand in several lifetimes."

"The one I'm talking about is... Have you ever been to Mondstadt as a traveler?"

"Not only have we been there, we've also chased away and saved the dragon!" Paimon said proudly.

Paimon's contribution in team battles is zero, but this does not prevent Paimon from having a strong sense of collective honor.

"That's amazing. So you know Amber, right?"

"Amber, yes, we are her good friends. Cole, do you know Amber too?"

When Cole heard that Paimon was Amber's friend, she was extremely excited, just like a lonely solo pusher who met a fellow pusher. She took the initiative to break down the original barriers and chattered about Amber's many strengths.

"I haven't seen Amber in a long time. Although we have been exchanging letters, I still want to meet her."

For Cole, Amber's existence is a fire and a light in her life. Having been abandoned, she is no longer willing to extend a hand to anyone, nor to hold anyone's hand.

But even though Cole had such desperate thoughts, Amber naturally took her hand and took her to visit Mondstadt and play with many fun things.

Amber, you are indeed an angel.

"…Is that so?"

"Amber is really amazing! She loves life, has a sense of justice, is not only full of action, but also very considerate. She can always light up others like a fire."

Ying and Paimon clearly felt Cole's admiration for Amber from her fist-pumping movements and endless words.

"Hehe, it seems that after you knew we were Amber's friends, our relationship became a lot closer."

"It's Amber after all, and Amber's friends are all good people." Cole agreed.

In this way, Ying and Paimon told Cole about their relationship with Amber. Cole asked many questions at the beginning, and then listened quietly. They returned to Huacheng.

The street lights designed by forest rangers guide pedestrians in the dark like fireflies and drive away wild animals like flames.

"We're here," Paimon said.

She turned around and saw that Cole's gloomy face revealed fatigue.

"Um…"

With a thud, Cole fell to the ground in a faint.

"Cole!"

……

When Tinari heard that Cole was unconscious, he hurried back and saw Lin Ye sitting next to Cole, apparently taking his pulse.

"What happened?" Tinari asked calmly.

Ying and Paimon told Tinari what happened.

"Lin Ye, how is Cole?" Paimeng asked.

After she and Ying carried Ke Lai back, Lin Ye and Shen He also returned to their temporary residence.

Lin Ye asked him to check it out.

After hearing what Paimon said, Tinari looked at Lin Ye with scrutiny.

Tinari knew Cole's condition. Lin Ye didn't look like a doctor. Could it be that he discovered...

"Tinari, does Cole have...demon scale disease?"

Lin Ye glanced at the still unconscious Ke Lai and spoke.

“…You found out.” Tinari whispered.

"Demon scale disease?"

"This is a symptom unique to Xumi, and it is named after the gray-black scaly tissue that appears on the patient's body." Tinari took the initiative to explain Paimon's doubts.

"At first, patients will only feel numbness in the skin area, but as the disease progresses, they will experience weakening of strength and loss of sensation in their fingers and toes."

"To be honest, I personally don't want to tell you that Cole has Demonic Scale Disease, but now that you have discovered it, I can't hide it from you."

"Will Cole die?" Paimon asked miserably.

Paimon wanted to understand why Cole was sometimes clumsy.

"If treated properly, the disease can be controlled, but no drug has been found to completely cure it."

"Then Lin Ye, do you have any solution?"

Lin Ye shook his head.

He examined Cole's body. The doctors and scholars of Xumi could say much more about what the Demonic Scale Disease was than he did, but Lin Ye was certain that the Demonic Scale Disease was partly caused by the pollution from the Abyss.

According to Sumi, this is the pollution of forbidden knowledge.

The Red Gold Dynasty of the Lord of the Sand Sea collapsed overnight, and its powerful glory quickly faded. Millions of His people had to endure the crazy shouting and talking in their ears.

Mortals are not qualified to accept the forbidden knowledge from outside the universe, which is poison to them.

The girl's smooth back was covered with gray-black scales, which was the earliest appearance of the demonic scale disease.

Lin Ye didn't know this, he relied on his own abilities to find out the clues.

Just like saving Chiyo, severe abyss cannot be cured and time must be reversed, but it is limited to individuals. Even Istaru cannot make the tide of the abyss flow back to the root.
