In Genshin Impact, why are all the characters I play NPCs?

The so-called tug-of-war here is quite skillful. It refers to the Shadow and the Divine Child sharing a single device. Without losing their own device, whoever pulls the other's device out first wins.

This requires a lot of skill and technique. Xu Guang thought that if it went well, they could hold a sports meet in the future, similar to Nata's, where the winner could make a request.

He'll grant whatever wish is offered, since he's far more reliable than the Holy Grail.

As for whether the wings would get tangled, Xu Guang wasn't worried about that at all.

It's important to know that there are factions within the characters. Right now, the four little ones are clearly on one side, while Kujo Sara, because she's at a disadvantage, has allied with Kuki Shinobu. It'll be really fun when there are more people and things get lively.

Besides, both of them are his wives. If your wives are getting close to each other, are you going to get jealous?

Chapter 138: The Brave One Draws His Sword

"That's it."

Qin nodded, choosing to trust the other party; she had always been very talented at judging people.

In her opinion, Mr. Xu Guang was not a bad person.

"But are those enthusiastic people really alright? There are quite a few of those monsters."

Xu Guang stroked his chin and replied, "It should be good, after all, that guy is very strong."

……

How many people are still not evacuated?

Inside Clear Spring Town, a hairy knight shouted, his arm trembling.

This was not out of fear, but because he had been injured not long ago while trying to stop the advance of the Hilichurl mob.

Experience tells him that he is likely to have a fractured forearm and it will be difficult for him to continue in this fight, otherwise he will face amputation.

But his subordinates' reply left him with no choice but to grit his teeth and bear it.

"There are still seven households left. The women and children have already left. The Hilichurl attack came too quickly; we didn't have time to react!"

The hairy knight gritted his teeth, watching the people leaving one after another behind him, his heart torn between his own desires and his conscience.

If they wait until everyone else has left before retreating, the casualties will be considerable, and there will be tough battles to come.

Are we really going to abandon these innocent people?

The spirit of chivalry told her that that was absolutely unacceptable.

"Get out..."

As the team leader, he has to be responsible for more people, and now is not the time to act impulsively.

Hearing him speak, the other knights breathed a sigh of relief to varying degrees.

The reinforcements will take a while to arrive. It is truly remarkable that they have managed to hold out this long against such a monster tide. Even after meeting the Wind God, no one can be harsh on them.

But God did not fulfill people's wishes.

A loud bang came from the Hilichurls' direction, as if something was about to arrive.

Immediately afterwards, a tall monster walked over, its entire body radiating a terrifying chill that instantly froze several Hilichurls who got too close into ice sculptures.

The hairy knight looked at the other man and swallowed hard.

He was a veteran of twelve years of service, having served in most of Mondstadt's forces. Even without the Vision of God, he could still maintain a steady advantage when facing a single Hilichurl mob, deserving the title of elite knight.

But only he knew that he was a coward. Eleven years ago, when he was still a newcomer, he accompanied his seniors on a patrol in the snow-capped mountains.

Because of one act of recklessness, he provoked a monster that was absolutely impossible to defeat.

It is quite similar to the one in front of us.

The man recalled for a moment.

That battle was truly brutal; several seniors died, while he hid away, hugging his knees and sobbing.

If it weren't for a boy who saved them, he would probably be dead by now.

Afterwards, in order to atone for his sins, he worked hard to complete his missions and always rushed to the front.

Think about it, more than a decade has passed, but that shadow still looms over him.

The man laughed and raised his hand to signal the others to leave quickly.

If it weren't for this behemoth, they could have fought and retreated.

But since the other side has already shown up, someone has to stop them.

Otherwise, if the defense line is breached, everyone will die.

"Damn it, bring four of you who aren't afraid of dying to cover my retreat."

He shouted these words with all his might, afraid that if he spoke softly, the other person would sense his fear.

These creatures become even more reckless when they sense their prey's fear.

The group exchanged bewildered glances. Soon, four unshaven men emerged, laughing loudly, "Gernard, you're the kind of guy who never pays for his drinks, and you really want to stay? We'll keep you company, but remember to treat us to a couple more drinks later!"

Genna, the hairy man, laughed and cursed, "You shameless bunch! The shop owner was only giving me a free meal because I saved his life. But if there's another chance, I'll give you all the good wine you can eat!"

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth turned up.

These are all his comrades-in-arms who have fought alongside him for a long time. They are all good in every way, except for one thing that I don't know where they learned it from: their beards are always so long and they don't like to groom them. Anyway, it has nothing to do with him.

The group formed a battle formation and looked at the monster in front of them. Their previous ease was gone, and their faces were full of seriousness.

Ice Armor Hilichurl King.

A being that is almost invincible to soldiers without the Eye of God, but what they have to do today is simple: not to defeat the opponent.

Instead, they dragged it out.

As long as it doesn't cost me my life, that's enough.

"Up!"

Nag shouted, and the others followed suit, working in perfect unison.

In Mondstadt, a squad typically consists of five knights. There's a reason for this: only with such a large number of knights can they be both offensive and defensive, and even if one or two are sacrificed, they can still maintain a strong fighting force.

The Ice Armored Hilichurl King roared.

From the moment it started, these ants were chattering away, something it couldn't understand. But judging from its habits when encountering humans, the other party was probably planning how to surrender and how to please it.

It was all prepared, but it never expected that these ants would dare to rush towards it.

This is a blatant insult.

Unable to bear it any longer, the Chuchu King slammed his fists into the ground, leaving streaks of ice, before rushing forward.

"careful!"

Someone shouted something that successfully attracted hatred.

King Chuchu attacked the first man, defeating him in just a few moves. When Genna saw this, his eyes widened in fury.

"Don't even think about killing someone in front of me again!"

The brave draw their swords and leap towards the stronger.

Upon seeing this, King Qiuqiu revealed a cold, anthropomorphic smile.

Just as he was about to crush the other person, a bullet carrying flames came flying.

puff-

The bullet pierced through the hand, and its powerful kinetic energy caused it to stagger back several steps.

"Roar!"

The intense pain drove the Hilichurl King to madness, and it began searching for the creature that attacked it.

No need to use it to find them, those people, no, that group of people, are here.

On the hillside, the blonde woman coldly watched down below.

"I wouldn't feel bad about destroying such an ugly creature, but the thought that I'm helping the wind god protect Mondstadt makes me feel disgusted."

Behind her, dozens of Fools stood armed and menacing.

The woman raised her hand, and another round of shooting ensued.

The King of Chuqiu sensed the threat to his life and tried to dodge, but he was still a little too slow and was hit by several shots.

Seeing the other party growing increasingly angry, the woman chuckled. But when she glanced at the knights below, her expression immediately turned cold.

"What are you all standing there for? If you don't want to die, come up here."

Upon hearing this, the knights seemed to wake from a dream and hurriedly ran over.

The woman's good mood was completely ruined, and she didn't want to come over anymore. After all, what did the lives and deaths of these people have to do with her?

But when Xu Guang inexplicably appeared in front of her not long ago, she knew that something bad was about to happen.

In her memory, Xu Guang's appearances never meant anything good, and this time was no exception.

They actually sent her to save people?

Are you kidding me? Does she look like a good person?

Of course, they'll come again.

Given the choice between saving someone and being stuffed with sticks full of pellets, she would definitely choose the former.

Chapter 139: Sugar

"Pathetic creatures who have lost their minds, it is your honor to die by my hand."

The woman raised her hand expressionlessly, and in an instant, flames spread, the temperature rose rapidly, and terrifying power gathered continuously, like a small sun.

Living things naturally have an instinct to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.

Although the Hilichurls lost the rationality of intelligent beings, they gained stronger physiques and keener insight.

As the flames in the lady's hand boiled, a large group of Hilichurls began to fidget and would have scattered long ago had it not been for the Hilichurl King.

The leader of all the monsters, the Hilichurl King, shook his head, appearing extremely irritated.

"Roar--"

Another roar.

Yes, this creature is used to being arrogant and domineering in the desolate snow-capped mountains; when has it ever suffered such humiliation?

To put it nicely, they are fearless; to put it bluntly, they are simply mindless and act solely on instinct.

It stared intently at the woman, its hands planted firmly on the ground, drawing away the chilling energy from the earth's veins.

The Ice-type Liarflower, which was happily hiding underground in the far distance, suddenly discovered that the energy it depended on for survival was decreasing rapidly.

Deceitful Flower: "Damn it!"

As a monster that survives by relying on the power of the earth's veins, this undoubtedly severs its foundation.

How can I bear this?

So it decisively stretched out its tentacles, trying to retain the cold air.

The King of the Hills, who was gathering strength in Clear Spring Town, snorted, spread his hands, and with a single grasp, uprooted the entire clump of Deceitful Flowers, then put them into his mouth and chewed them like candy.

The eaten liar flower: "Aminos!"

You're stealing energy, fine, but why are you taking monster lives too? Is this how you treat monsters?

It is unwilling!
