What bad intentions could the original dragon have?

Powerful wind elemental force gathered around and turned into a strong updraft in the next moment.

It is a 'wind field' that is powerful enough to make one take off on the spot!

"Oh?" Such a strong wind was nothing to Zhongli. He glanced around, then suddenly spread out his 'Wings of Wind' and rushed into the sky with the rising air flow.

And Paimon, who could fly, had already reached a higher position in the wind.

Seeing that the two people beside her had already gone up, Ying also released the pressure on her skirt and spread out her "Wings of Wind".

Anyway, I have safety pants!

----

The wind fields seemed a little strange. They were not straight up and down, but were pushed by flowing winds, crossing the distance from the mountainside to the top of the mountain at an extremely fast speed.

On the edge of the cliff at the top of Tianheng Mountain, the blue dragon girl was sitting there overlooking Liyue Harbor.

The 'wind field' led them here and then disappeared, so it was obvious who was driving the 'wind field'.

"Linglong!" Ying put away her 'Wings of Wind' and landed directly on the wind, hopping and jumping, waving her hands.

"Why did you think of going up Tianheng Mountain? You must be very tired." Zhong Ling stretched out her hand, swept it across Ying's forehead, and dispelled the sweat on her body.

"Hehe." Ying did not explain why she came.

"You all came up here together, so you're definitely not here to look for me." Zhong Ling pinched Paimeng's cheek. "I won't take it for granted."

After Zhong Ling finished speaking, she looked at Zhong Li.

"Mortal, since you have seen me, why don't you bow?...Pfft." Zhong Ling laughed after she finished speaking.

"..." Looking at Zhong Ling like this, Zhongli shook his head slightly.

It wasn't because he was unhappy, but he just shook his head a little helplessly.

In fact, Zhongli hadn't seen her like this for a long time.

"Tell me, why did you come here?" Zhong Ling asked Ying.

Perhaps because Zhongli was here, they did not do anything overly friendly.

"For the various matters of the 'Send Immortal Ceremony'." Ying waved her hand. "Now we are moving on to the 'Eternal Life Incense'."

"'Eternal Life Incense'? Since you are here for the 'Eternal Life Incense', you should go to the Yaolu. Why are you running to 'Tianheng Mountain'?" Zhong Ling asked with some confusion.

"That's right." Ying explained.

...

......

"Use the [Return Machine] to hunt the [Semi-Immortal Beast Coconut Sheep]?" Zhong Ling frowned slightly. "What is the [Coconut Sheep]?"

Zhong Ling looked at Zhong Li.

[Half-immortal beasts] are not uncommon in the land of Liyue.

The so-called [half-immortal beast] refers to a hybrid of immortal and mortal.

For example, Ganyu, who was raised by Zhong Ling and now works as a secretary at Yuehaiting, has a Qilin mother and a human father.

There is also a younger [Half-Immortal Beast] that Zhong Ling is not familiar with, the famous [Legal Consultant] Yan Fei.

But what is [Coconut Sheep]? Zhong Ling had never heard of it.

"I don't know." Zhongli shook his head. It was obvious that even Zhongli had never heard of this creature.

"..." Zhong Ling thought for a moment. "Since they are going to use the [Returning Machine], it means that the [Coconut Sheep] is a large creature, and is located near the 'Tianheng Ancient City Wall'."

"Only there is the chance to return."

"Hmm?" Zhong Ling suddenly blinked. "But, the 'Tianheng Ancient City Wall' and this side are not on the same road at all... Is it really to come up to see me?"

Because Zhongli couldn't possibly not know the way, and since they could come together, it meant that Ying wanted to come up.

"It's only been a day since we last met."

"Really..."

"?" Ying, who keenly noticed that Zhong Ling's mood seemed to have suddenly become very good, had a question mark popped up in her head, but... she thought it would be better not to ask.

"Although we don't know what the Coconut Sheep is, we do know what the Return Machine is." Zhong Ling led them to the other side and pointed to the other side. "The Return Machine is over there. It was originally a crossbow used to defend against large creatures."

At that time, there were many different creatures and monsters in Liyue.

[Return Machine] was originally set up to resist the rock dragon lizards and other monsters coming from that direction.

Later, Morax found the blind Rhoda among the mountains.

Morax gave Rudra two eyes and made a 'contract' with Him.

After coming to the ground, Ruota, who was able to see everything in the world clearly, followed the "contract". Under Ruota's command, the rebellious rock dragon lizards retreated.

Later, Rudra also joined Morax in the battle.

Since the Rock Dragon Lizards are no longer causing trouble and those monsters have been killed over time, [Return to the End] has also lost its function.

But after all, they are immortal weapons designed by [King of Dust] Guizhong, and then built by [True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng] and a group of immortals. They still have the power to fight the enemy independently.

However, even so, they were eventually damaged over time.

"Oh~Mr. Zhongli just said that." Paimon said with a smile.

"I think so." Zhong Ling nodded slightly. "Since my brother said so, then... you really came here to see me, right?"

Zhong Ling looked at Ying and smiled in a very good mood.

"We have nothing to do recently, so let's go to the Tianheng Ancient City Wall. Since we need the [Return Machine], we need to repair it first." Zhong Ling looked in that direction. "It just so happens that I also participated in the construction of the [Return Machine]."

Well, this thing...

It was designed by Gui Zhong, built by Liu Yun, and Zhong Ling...she is enchanted.

Although it was not designed by Zhong Ling, she could understand the design drawings. It was still very simple to repair the damaged [Return Machine].

"Linglong, do you have nothing to do?" Ying asked with a blink.

"Well, nothing happened." Zhong Ling nodded in response.

"Then why didn't you come back to rest yesterday?" Ying asked with puffed cheeks.

Thinking about how I could only hug the pillow yesterday with a wronged look on my face, without my wife’s waist to touch or hug, I couldn’t sleep well at all!

"I just came up. I was arranging some things yesterday." Zhong Ling explained seriously.

"Uh...I just said it casually, don't take it so seriously." Ying was just complaining casually.

"But it still needs an explanation." Zhong Ling chuckled.

B.40 Immortal Mechanical Techniques

After transforming the divine outfit on his body into ordinary clothes and gathering all the water elements flowing between the dragon horns and hair, Zhong Ling returned to his usual appearance.

"Well, I'm still most accustomed to Linglong like this." Although she is the most stunning and extremely attractive in the form of a dragon girl.

But Ying still prefers her the way she is now.

How should I put it... there is a kind of magical outfit that can only be worn on special occasions and is not suitable for formal occasions at all.

But if you think about it carefully, immortals are not quite the same as humans. It is said that the divine equipment of the [Wind God] is more powerful than that of Zhong Ling...

"Maybe I won't have the chance to wear it like that in the future." Zhong Ling said with a chuckle.

[Cangming Yuanjun] is about to leave, so there will be no chance to wear that set of magical clothes in the future.

Just like Zhongli next to him, it is estimated that he will never have the chance to wear the divine equipment of [Geo King] again.

"There will be a chance." Ying chuckled twice.

"Let's go to the 'Tianheng Ancient City Wall'." Zhong Ling, who has never liked or even can be said to have no 'Wind Wings', put two fingers together and made a sword gesture.

The water condensed into an exquisite long sword, and Zhong Ling sat on the sword casually.

(When water freezes into ice, the sword slays the demons)

If a mortal is strong enough, he can also condense water into a sword, so Zhong Ling is not worried that he will be regarded as a non-human being.

----

"Wow, is this the 'Tianheng Ancient City Wall'?" Ying looked around.

You can tell at a glance that the buildings here were built for war.

There are all kinds of buildings such as watchtowers and city walls. Although they have been worn out a lot, one can still see their former strength.

"Look, that's the [Return to the End]." Zhong Ling said, pointing at the huge crossbow.

There are dozens of such crossbows arranged around, and the bow arm of each crossbow is more than five meters long.

It is hard to imagine what kind of damage such an arrow would cause if fired.

However, according to the introduction just now, the [Return Machine] was originally used for hunting and resisting "dragons".

Although the 'dragon' here certainly does not refer to a super high-level elemental dragon like Zhong Ling, but a rock dragon lizard.

In addition to the rock dragon lizards, many giant beasts and magical beasts will be defended here.

"Are there really any living creatures that need to be defended with this kind of thing?" Ying touched the [Return Machine].

The feel is quite strange. It looks like wood, but it feels as hard as fine iron in the hand, yet not as cold as metal.

"But they are all broken, what should I do?"

"It's okay." Zhong Ling shook her head. "When the [Return Machine] was first built, the problem of damage was taken into consideration, so a 'war preparedness room' was specially built. In the watchtowers and other buildings nearby, there are materials for repairing the [Return Machine]."

"But even the [Guizhong Machine] has been damaged, and the materials stored there have gone through thousands of years. They should be almost broken, right?" Ying asked puzzled.

After thousands of years, many things will be damaged, and these buildings in the "Tianheng Ancient City Wall" are the best proof of this.

These rock-made buildings have already suffered from weathering and other wear and tear, not to mention the materials of [Guizhongji] which should be made of wood.

"Well...all the spare materials have been protected by the immortals. As long as they are not exposed to wind and rain for thousands of years like the [Guizhong Machine], they generally won't be damaged. The 'War Readiness Room' itself has also taken wear and tear into consideration, so there's no need to worry." Multiple precautions prevent these spare materials from natural damage, so they can be used.

----

"Hiss... Why are there Hilichurls in the 'War Preparation Room'?!" Ying, who had found the materials and taken them out, complained loudly to Zhong Ling. "What on earth is this species of Hilichurls? I feel like they are everywhere."

When she just entered the 'war preparation room', a Hillilchur suddenly came towards her with a wooden stick. Fortunately, Ying reacted quickly enough, dodged the kick, kicked the Hillilchur down, and stabbed him in the process.

"I... really don't know." Zhong Ling shook her head. She didn't know why the Hillilks were everywhere.

When she returned to her own 'White Dragon Gorge Secret Realm' a few days ago, she even considered whether there would be hillbillies in the secret realm.

Fortunately, most of the Hillilks don't seem to be able to swim, and the door to the 'White Dragon Gorge Secret Realm' is underwater, so no Hillilks can enter.

"Hmm?" After taking the materials from Ying, Zhong Ling looked at [Gui Zhong Ji] and frowned slightly. "What's going on?"

"What's wrong?" Zhongli walked over.

"Brother, look here." Zhong Ling pointed at the broken bow arm. "It doesn't look like it was broken by natural wear and tear, it looks more like... it was smashed... Although more than half of it was due to natural wear and tear, the last part was man-made damage."

"A thousand years have passed, and the protection on it has long since dissipated, but the material of the "Return to the End" is not so easy to damage."

Without the blessing of immortal power, the power of [Return to the End] has dropped by more than ten times, its accuracy is also much worse than before, and it is more easily damaged.

But natural damage and man-made damage are two completely different things.

"Yes, indeed." Zhongli nodded.

"Who on earth could have done such a thing?" Zhong Ling used the telescopic effect of the [Return to the End Machine] to look at the other dozen planes.

Although a few of them were damaged naturally, most of them were considered damaged.

"...Let's fix it first." Zhong Ling sighed and started her own repair project.

After all, he had participated in the construction. Although at that time Zhong Ling was just watching and protecting various materials, Zhong Ling still remembered how they were built.

"Ah, speaking of which..." Zhong Ling held the materials and suddenly remembered something. "At that time, for convenience, I actually added automatic return runes to each type of material."

Having said this, Zhong Ling piled all the materials next to the [Guizhong Machine], and then stretched out his hand and placed it on the dark pattern on the base of the [Guizhong Machine].

These dark patterns are runes that have lost their magical power. As long as the magical power is re-injected into these runes, they will be...

The runes bloomed with their former glory, and the base automatically detected the damage to the [Return to the End Machine]. The runes then resonated with the materials scattered on the ground, and all the materials flew up together, automatically replacing the parts on the [Return to the End Machine].

Because the parts of this one were almost completely damaged, it was like a new one after being replaced.
