"Roar!"
Just as Keqing was lost in thought, a wolf howl suddenly sounded, and a black hungry wolf as big as an elephant pounced from behind her.
Keqing dodged the wolf's claws by simply turning sideways, then took out her long sword and pointed her index finger in the direction where the wolf would land. The wolf was pierced through the heart by a beam of white sword light and fell to the ground dead.
"How can an ordinary wild beast be so vicious..."
After Keqing put away her sword, she observed the hungry wolf and then set off towards the north.
What she should do now is to find a creature with whom she can communicate. If Keqing remembered correctly, during the Demon War, there was only one relatively peaceful place in Liyue, which was ravaged by war.
That is Jue Yunjian.
Not all demons are evil, there are some kind ones, but there are also "neutral" demons like Jue Yunjian.
Of course, in Liyue they are not called demon gods, but are called "immortals".
Keqing does not have a very good relationship with the immortals, because in her opinion, her own ideas will definitely conflict with those of the immortals who focus on old rules.
So she never made herself unhappy and rarely met those immortals.
However, the immortals thousands of years ago had never seen her, so this problem does not exist.
"If it's the same as the last time in Mond, there should be a main storyline dungeon this time, but I need to meet a key figure like Gunn last time before it can be unlocked."
Keqing ran quickly towards Jue Yunjian while thinking about the fastest route to reach that place.
Liyue a thousand years ago was very different from the present world. If it weren't for the mountain peaks between the clouds that were still eye-catching, she might not even know where she was.
"This should be at Lingju Pass... Was Lingju Pass like this a thousand years ago..."
This Lingju Pass, which was supposed to be a relic, is now covered with withered trees, and countless evil and gloomy auras are spread throughout the entire forest.
While traveling through the woods, Keqing dodged several attacks from bird-shaped beasts and even encountered a giant crocodile with two horns bared.
It took her a full hour to reach the entrance of Jueyunjian.
At this point, the malice subsided a lot.
Some bird-shaped monsters that had been hovering in the air, ready to look for an opportunity to kill Keqing, also left, as if there was something in the clouds that frightened them.
Seeing the bird monster's performance, Keqing was sure that there was nothing wrong with her choice to come to Jueyunjian.
Just as she was about to find a way up the mountain, she saw a long ant-like team not far ahead.
When I looked closely, I realized that it was a mountaineering team composed of people.
After pondering for a while, Keqing decided to go over and ask.
But when she came to the end of the team, she found that these people kept their heads down. They were not climbing the mountain at all, but seemed to be walking aimlessly.
And when Keqing appeared, this long team that seemed to be composed of mortals suddenly stopped, and the "people" in the team slowly turned around and looked at Keqing.
Seeing the faceless crowd, Keqing took out her drawn sword and prepared for battle.
It seems that there are not only more powerful beasts and monsters in Jueyunjian, but also demons.
"tasty……"
A terrifying sound like burning wood was heard, and those "people" instantly gathered together and formed a huge meat ball.
Without waiting for the thing to close, Keqing stepped on the green bamboo and flew to the monster. Then the long sword in her hand flashed with lightning and stabbed into the monster's chest.
After rolling on the ground, Keqing looked back with a look of surprise on her face.
After the monster was pierced by her sword, there was a huge hole in its body, but it closed up quickly the next second.
Looks unscathed.
"What is this?"
Keqing had never seen such a monster before.
My attacks are ineffective against it. Could it be that I don't have enough elemental power?
Keqing stood up and used her sword skills again. This time she increased the power of lightning and switched from stabbing to chopping. In an instant she was in the air in front of the monster and chopped it down with her sword.
The monster was cut in half, but just like before, it quickly came together again.
Do I have to use my ultimate move right from the start?
Just when Keqing was feeling a bit troubled by this unknown demon, suddenly a blue light shot out from a distance.
It was an arrow, an arrow carrying extremely cold ice.
After the arrow pierced the monster, its entire body immediately froze and turned into a huge ice sculpture.
Then the second arrow followed, and the ice sculpture instantly shattered into countless tiny pieces of ice.
It fell to the ground and turned into black smoke that drifted into the air.
"The Nightmare of Dreams has been destroyed... This mortal... It is too dangerous for you to come here. Please return to the blessed land."
A cold and ethereal voice sounded from the mountain stream, as if a fairy who was not from this world was admonishing a mortal who had lost his way.
However, Keqing was very familiar with this voice.
"Gan Yu?"
"Ah! You, how do you know my name?!" The originally cold voice immediately became panicked.
But this voice was a little unfamiliar to Keqing, because compared to the familiar Ganyu's voice, this panicked voice seemed a little... childish?
Chapter 89: Blue Plush Big Dog with Horns
After the voice that sounded like Ganyu's sounded, Keqing originally wanted to talk to her more.
But she seemed to be busy with other things and only said: "Since you know the name of the immortal, come to Jueyunjian and ask for protection."
Then the ethereal voice disappeared.
Keqing stood there for a while, with nothing else to do, so she had to continue walking towards Jueyunjian as the voice that seemed to be Ganyu said.
See if you can see the immortal.
Not long after she walked up the mountain, she met a group of people.
This time they are not monsters or demons, but a group of real mortals.
The team was very long, with people of all ages, including the old and the young, and it seemed that many of them had families with them. There were also some strong men holding homemade iron tools, who seemed to be acting as guards for the team.
When Keqing appeared at the end of the team, she was also discovered by those people.
At first, the young men acting as guards were a little nervous, but they were relieved when they found out that Keqing was a real person and not a monster.
"Little sister, you are also seeking the blessing of the immortal, right?"
There is only one road leading to the mountain, so Keqing temporarily joined the team.
“I guess so.” Keqing nodded.
The middle-aged man with the iron fork and tattered sleeves sighed when he saw Keqing nod in agreement, "Alas, in this chaotic world, mortals like us can only survive by seeking something powerful."
Along the way, the uncle and Keqing chatted a lot, but they were basically lamenting how difficult life is.
In this era of chaos and war between gods and demons, it is indeed extremely difficult for mortals without any power to survive.
There is no other way except to seek the protection of those kind-hearted demon gods.
Keqing asked the uncle if he had heard of Morax, but he said he had never heard of the name.
Then she would have to wait until she met the immortal before she could ask her if she knew.
Unlike the danger she had just experienced when entering Jueyunjian, the higher she went, the less dark and malicious the world was.
After passing through a thin layer of clouds, you can see the long-lost sunset.
There are white eagles circling in the sky and cranes resting in the distance.
There is a faint light overhead and the air is filled with the scent of flowers.
This beautiful and peaceful place seems to make people forget that the outside world is a world full of disasters.
"This is the land of immortals..."
"We are saved."
"Great, we finally escaped from that evil dragon land."
……
The people in the team were laughing and talking, and at this time several soldiers wearing special yellow armor and holding spears came down from the path.
"Ah, it's the Qianyan Army."
Thousand Rock Army?
Keqing looked up in surprise. She didn't expect the Thousand Rock Army to show up so early.
"Are you refugees from the north?" asked a Qianyan soldier.
"Yes, please take us in."
"Please take me in..."
Everyone in the team knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
But Qianyanjun shook his head and said, "It is useless for you to kowtow to me. This is a matter that only the immortals can decide. The immortals have already obeyed the imperial edict and went to ask for the dragon a few days ago."
Upon hearing this, the mortals in the team looked at each other in bewilderment. Doesn't that mean that they had gone through so much trouble and ended up making a wasted trip?
"There should be some immortals left behind, right?" Keqing asked at this time.
Qianyan Jun followed the sound and saw Keqing at the end of the team. He shook his head and said, "I don't know the situation of other peaks, but this peak is where Lady Liuyun lives. She has been gone for several days."
"Isn't there still another immortal?" Keqing asked puzzledly.
Qian Yanjun frowned: "Of course not, would I lie to you?"
The Thousand Rocks Army certainly didn't seem to be trying to deceive her, but Keqing was sure that there was another immortal on this mountain.
After all, she had indeed spoken to Ganyu just now, although the other party didn't know her and her voice sounded a little strange, as if she was sick.
"I said no, and that means no." Qian Yanjun said a little angrily.
But at this moment, suddenly a fairy-like voice sounded.
"Let them in."
This sound is...
The two Qianyan soldiers looked at each other, and then they realized that it was the disciple of Lord Liuyun.
They have been here for so many months, but have only heard her voice once or twice, let alone met her, so they forgot that she was also a member of the immortal family.
“But senior…” Qianyan Jun knelt on one knee, feeling somewhat embarrassed: “Lord Liuyun is not here, and there are quite a few refugees. It’s difficult to settle them…”
"Isn't there an open space outside the cave? If even we can't protect these mortals, then it will be hard to talk about ending this war. This is probably not what that lord wants to see."
The descendants of the immortals had all moved out of the mountains. The two Qianyan soldiers were only responsible for logistics and communications, so it was naturally difficult for them to persist. They had to let the refugees enter the restricted area.
After passing through a seemingly ordinary archway, Keqing and a group of refugees came to a vast plain with mountains and rivers.
It looks like you have arrived in another world, but if you look carefully into the distance you can still see other mountains among the clouds.
This should be the peak of Liuyun Mountain, but the area has been expanded with the help of some means.
After looking around, Keqing found that many wooden boxes and goods covered with sackcloth were piled together, almost occupying half of the venue.
No wonder the Qianyan Army was unwilling to let these refugees in.
"Is this the logistics station?" Keqing asked.
"Of course." Qianyanjun nodded, and then said loudly to the refugees: "You can stay over there. Remember not to get close to the goods over there, don't run around or touch anything, and be careful with open flames."
The refugees also agreed and were very grateful.
Afterwards, the Qianyan Army gave some instructions and only one person was left to monitor the refugees and the more important goods, while the other was responsible for standing guard outside.
After walking around the place, Keqing also got to know this place.
"It looks not much different from Liuyun Cave Mansion thousands of years later."
Turning her head, she saw that the Qianyan soldier in charge of surveillance was talking to an elder in the team, so Keqing walked quietly behind a pile of goods.
