Genshin Impact, I, a weak person, am challenging myself to find a solution that will bring me lifelo

There are not only wild beasts, but also monsters occupying dangerous places. It is said that there are wolf spirits guarding the Wolf Territory.

The girl handed her the adjusted love poem and continued to explain.

"That's where the problem lies. Because fruit drinks are popular recently, the demand for hook-hook fruits has increased a lot, and the hook-hook fruits in the outer areas have basically been picked.

A veteran of the collection team planned to go a little deeper, and he saw a creature that looked like a wolf but was not a wolf, walking upright on two legs. Even when he left, he felt that many green eyes were staring at him until he left.

After that, this person fell seriously ill after returning to Mondstadt. Although the other members of the collection team had never seen him, they were reluctant to go because of this rumor. "

At this point, Barbara seemed to recall something and tapped her palms.

"Ah, speaking of this, I have some impression of this! The church hospital did receive this patient before. Although he did not suffer any physical injuries, he suffered severe psychological trauma.

Once you come into contact with that wolf-like object, you will have difficulty breathing and feel like you are being stared at by a pack of wolves. You will feel unsafe wherever you go.

Mrs. Maria and her friends also called this rare case "The Wolf's Collar Syndrome."

"Anyway, it's because of this rumor. The market for hook fruit has been quite unstable recently, and the quality of the finished products purchased by the tavern is also uneven. If people were to drink these stale fruit drinks, it would not only damage their reputation, but also cause diarrhea."

Youya spread her hands, looking helpless.

"But if this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to write prescriptions for not only beverages but also some medicines."

The fruit of the Chinese wolfberry tree can be used as medicine, and its effect is significant.

"It seems that there is nothing we can do about it. After all, once rumors spread, it is difficult to stop them."

Barbara replied, also somewhat troubled.

Qin, who had listened to the entire conversation, stood up silently, attracting the attention of both men.

"What's wrong, Sister Qin? Did I mix it badly?"

Yuya asked.

"Ah. No, love poems are delicious and I like them too. It's just that I feel the need to do something..."

Taking the initiative to solve some troubles for everyone is also what the Cavaliers should do.

She has been troubled by that incident in recent days.

Let’s not talk about Diluk, his senior. He has seen his excellence and understands how hard he has worked to gain unanimous recognition from everyone.

This also includes Eula, who is a special talent recognized by the Grand Master and invited to join the group. She also possesses a family heirloom, the Seal of Solid Ice, and has dealt a heavy blow to the Demon Dragon Usa in one fell swoop.

But...what about Youya?

She was always gentle and kind, and had never shown any talent in combat, but in the summary afterwards, everyone would give her the credit.

Compared to myself who was still comforting the people in the city at that time and did not contribute much to everyone, this person who was once like a younger sister in my eyes and needed care became the first to become a hero.

She should have felt happy, but besides that, she also felt timid in her heart... What was she afraid of?

It was because he saw a brilliance in her that he could not match, or maybe after he regarded her as his sister, she became like Barbara and entered a different path from him.

I have fallen behind without realizing it...

Even though she believed that it would be best if everyone could live in harmony, as Youya said, perhaps one day when faced with an enemy so dangerous that no mortal could handle it, she would only become a burden rather than a shield protecting Mondstadt.

This thought always lingered in her mind, so she worked hard to keep exercising in an attempt to shorten the distance.

But she couldn't do it. The gap that she could make up through talent and hard work in the past had widened visibly after Senior Diluk obtained the Eye of God.

What about the long-term training of my mother and the high hopes placed by my family?

Isn't it all in vain...

She didn't understand such things, and didn't know why it would be so painful for her to be able to only stare at the backs of others in despair.

What's worse is that she can't help but compare herself to others...thinking "I can do better here" to gain that tiny sense of self-approval.

So, if this matter can be resolved and bring laughter to everyone——

Can it also prove that I am not so useless?

Chapter 126: The Wendigo of the Wolf Territory

result--

Why did it turn out like this in the end?

Youya looked dimly at the wolf boy in front of her who was a little reserved and guilty, and at Barbara whose skirt was wet and whose golden beans were falling out because she was frightened.

Qin stood there at a loss, wondering if this situation was because she had violated a taboo.

Back in time not long ago...

After the conversation in the tavern, her plan was to investigate the matter with Sister Qin, and perhaps join forces with Kaeya and the others during the process, but Sister Qin showed that she didn't want to rely on them for everything.

After all, being able to do something independently is the opposite of requiring teamwork to accomplish something.

Qin hoped to hone herself through this experience. Otherwise, she would just tell the Grand Commander about this matter. Given his personality, he would probably come over to check it out in person and solve any problems he might have.

Because of this, Sister Qin, who refused help from others, was persuaded by Youya to stop when she was about to leave.

Regardless of whether there are really any ghosts in Benlang Territory, in a world like this with gods, the appearance of things like ghosts is not at all out of place.

Even if not, there are indeed wolf packs of varying sizes over there.

She had seen it with her own eyes before. If she just let Sister Qin get into danger and did nothing, if something really happened, Youya would definitely feel guilty for the rest of her life.

For this reason, Youya had no choice but to initiate a "named entrustment" to Sister Qin in her personal name.

Protect her to successfully collect enough hook fruits and investigate the truth about the wolf spirit -

Because of her straightforward personality, Sister Qin, who had never expected this trick, naturally fell into the girl's logical trap.

But what was unexpected was that Barbara also joined in.

In her words, "Since sister, ahem, Miss Qin has accepted it, then as Yuya's friend, she naturally cannot sit idly by and help if she encounters any injuries."

She was not wrong to say that, and her thoughts were precious.

So, even though Qin and Youya didn't really want Barbara to come along.

But if I rejected her at that time, it would probably end badly. No, it would definitely make the relationship between them worse.

But don't forget, Youya is trying to help them reconcile, not deepen the rift.

Therefore, it finally turned into a threesome.

Fortunately, it was easy for the three girls to go back and forth on a flying broomstick, and if everything went well, they could even make it in time for dinner.

After all, although the Wolf Territory is a long way from Mondstadt, it can only be reached by passing through Qingquan Town, Dawn Winery, and then crossing a large forest.

But if air travel is used, this distance will be greatly shortened.

In the past, water transportation was possible here, but unfortunately, the dock originally built in Benlang Territory has been abandoned.

The high maintenance costs and the endless monsters make it difficult for people to survive here, not to mention that it is located in a remote area and is full of wild beasts.

Over time, only people like the collection team would come here.

The location chosen by Youya was the shallow area near the Wine Lake in the Wolf Territory, which was also the abandoned dock of Mond in the past.

Looking from above, it looks like a shell. There are also some tattered boxes on the beach that have been exposed to wind and sun.

After falling from the sky, the three girls easily found the traces left by the collection team.

Then we passed through the outer area and entered the interior of the Wolf Territory where the sky was blocked by tall tree canopies. The road gradually became rugged and uneven, mixed with various small animal trails and gravel. The smell of rotting leaves unique to the dense jungle also replaced the sea breeze.

Occasionally, some animals would run through the bushes, making a rustling sound, which made Barbara a little nervous every time.

It was the first time for her to be so far away from home, although she was traveling with her friends and... her sister.

But only when she actually stepped on this strange land did she realize that she had truly walked out of Mondstadt, the city where she grew up.

The satisfaction of gazing at the beautiful scenery in the distance on a flying broomstick and the thrill of doing something "bad" are rapidly fading away.

After hearing the strange "arc-arc-" sound again, Barbara finally couldn't help but tug at the corner of Youya's clothes.

"Well, why don't we go back first? It feels a bit too dangerous to continue going forward..."

"That's how it should be."

Youya also seriously considered the feasibility of this plan.

After all, the plan of relying on this kind of atmosphere to get the three of them close together and then using the suspension bridge effect to quickly narrow the psychological distance seems to have failed.

Considering the possibility of a fight, Sister Qin always walked in front, responsible for clearing the way and keeping watch.

Barbara, on the other hand, has been sticking with her all the time, and if this continues, it will be difficult to end the relationship without getting married.

After hearing what the two said, Qin paused slightly, then turned around and looked at them. The meaning in her eyes was very obvious.

“In that case, why don’t you retreat back to the shallows outside? The hook-hook fruits we’ve picked along the way are almost enough.

All that remains is to investigate the wolf spirit. I will search further inside and then come back to find you."

Qin has a strong sense of responsibility and will definitely do what she promises.

Besides, she didn't want to disappoint her two younger sisters.

"That won't do—"

Youya immediately shook her head.

"The dangers of actively splitting up teams have been repeatedly proven in horror stories, so please don't say or do that."

"But Barbara seems very scared. And it's not convenient for you, Yuya, right?"

The girl hasn't gotten off the broom yet.

"I, I'm not scared, I'm just a little uncomfortable! Don't worry, I can do it, just let me take it easy..."

Barbara quickly retorted, even though no one would believe her.

In order to prove that she could really do it, Barbara took the initiative to suggest telling ghost stories to boost her courage.

This is also a classic routine, such as encountering a ghost right after telling a ghost story.

Therefore, considering that there might really be such rumors in this world, Youya chose to tell the story from her side.

The ghosts from the other world won’t be replicated here, right?

Although it also needs some artistic processing.

"Ahem. Then, I'll start talking -

This is a story about the Wendigo that has been passed down in the Lawrence family, and it was encountered during the pioneering period. "

The girl's voice, which she deliberately lowered, became much colder and seemed to carry an eerie feeling along with the environment.

Qin, who was originally just on guard and listening, already had goose bumps halfway through, especially the vivid tone as if she had witnessed it with her own eyes, which really made her not know where to start.

As for Barbara, she simply covered her ears and burst into tears when she heard the word "cannibal".

“So, after falling into the dangerous situation where his legs were broken and he could not escape, in order to avoid death, he waited until help arrived.

He chose to swallow the flesh and blood of his dead compatriots. At first, what he swallowed into his stomach was less than what he vomited out.

After that, every time he ate, he would be more serious and careful than before... just like a hound licking the meat on the leg bone, scraping every bit of nutrition with his teeth.

The flesh and blood of our compatriots, which we had to swallow with tears in the past, now seem like the ultimate delicacy.

The days that had passed were countless, and he could only tell whether he was still conscious by the degree of hunger in his stomach.

Until his skin was as pale as a corpse, he was as thin as skin and bones, his eyes degenerated and became narrow due to long-term disuse, and he was almost blind. His hands grew deformed after being broken and looked even more weird, with joints exposed.

On the day when he had eaten the last piece of flesh, the collapsed hole suddenly opened, letting in a ray of light from the outside world. However, what he waited for was not the salvation of his compatriots, but rather the screams of fear and the swords.

At some point, the only voice left around was the girl's, and she continued to speak without realizing it.

"But he was so happy, greeting them with his mouth, which had been used for nothing but eating. His intermittent, barely human words were as evil as the curse mutterings from the bottom of the abyss.

This is the Wendigo, which means a man-eating monster."

Click.

There was a sound of dead branches being crushed behind them.

And words that matched the girl's description appeared at the same time.

"...You guys, hello..."

"Ahhhh!!!"
