Genshin Impact: Another Traveler of Teyvat

“Okay.” Ying thought about it and it looked like the quantity wasn’t that large, so he might as well just do purchasing on behalf of others like he did at Shimen Border.

"Actually, if the goods are placed outside the Yak-Yak-Camel Beast, they will definitely be discovered. But these goods are all placed inside the Yak-Yak-Camel Beast! Wrap them in oil paper, stuff them in from the back, and then just wait for it to pull them out."

"Poof!!!" Paimon vomited directly.

Ying and Nashida were also shocked and couldn't even imagine it.

After waiting for a long time, the three of them recovered.

"Are the goods you want to transport the 20 mobile phones and 20 emergency charging devices on the back of the bicycle?" Ying walked to the man's bicycle and looked at the goods in the baskets on both sides.

"Yes, and here's a bunch of phone cards."

"OK then."

Ying waved his hand, and the bicycle and the crystal car disappeared.

“??? Do you have... a space storage item?” the man asked in shock.

"Let's go, let's get through the checkpoint first."

The three men did not see the man walking in front of them. They looked excited, with the corners of their mouths slightly raised.

Soon, Ying and the others easily passed the Xumi checkpoint, and at the man's kind invitation, they boarded the carriage and drove away from the checkpoint.

After one hour.

"Phew, it's safe here."

Ying looked around and saw an ambush!

"What did you bring us to this deserted place for?"

"Hahaha! What else can I do? I don't have the Eye of God, but I still have a space storage item, not to mention a flying pet that can talk! I really envy you rich girls. We work so hard all our lives, but it's still not enough to get a fraction of your pocket money."

"We helped you, and you still want to rob us?"

"No, no, no, I want both money and beauty." The man in Xumi clothing snapped his fingers.

Twelve members of the Gilded Brigade appeared around them. The two leading them, one holding two strange scimitars that exuded a chill, and one holding two special triangular boxing gloves with a faint water element in the middle.

"Ying, be careful with the weapons of these two people. They can produce elemental reactions to freeze." Nashida said, looking at their weapons.

"Yes, I will." Ying understood instantly, took out her weapon and protected Nashida behind her, but because they were surrounded, Nashida's side was also facing the enemy, so she decided that she had to fight quickly.

At this moment, a girl with green hair looked over from the slope next to her, frowned, and took out her boomerang.

"Fly!" The boomerang was thrown out with great force. "Oh no, it went astray."

The boomerang flew in front of the Gilded Brigade members, but it didn't hit anyone and returned to the green-haired girl's hand. However, it also attracted everyone's attention.

Ying seized the opportunity instantly.

"Elemental Explosion·Phantom Surprise Attack!"

In an instant, countless purple sword shadows with lightning attributes appeared and covered the twelve members of the Gilded Brigade. When the sword shadows disappeared, all the members of the Gilded Brigade surrounding them fell to the ground.

The green-haired girl also rushed to them.

"It's amazing. You knocked them down in an instant. Are you not hurt?"

"No."

"Well, I'll go get Master and the others to come over. This gang has been here for a long time and has committed several major crimes. They have escaped several times during the encirclement and suppression efforts."

The green-haired girl quickly walked behind a big tree and took out her cell phone from her bosom. She turned it on, called back, then turned it off and stuffed it back into her innermost pocket. But she didn't notice that there was a white flying object above her head looking at her.

"Ying, she should be a good person." Paimon flew back.

"Well, good. Now it's time to treat this person well." Ying snapped her fingers.

"Well, I'll come too!" Paimon said angrily.

The man in Xumi clothing, who was squatting on the ground with his head in his arms, started shaking like a sieve when he heard this.

The screams echoed through the woods, leaving the green-haired girl stunned, unable to tell for a moment who the villain was.

Chapter 328: First Encounter with Xumi

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Ke Lai, and I'm an apprentice ranger in Hua City." The green-haired girl introduced herself.

"Hello, I'm Paimon, and this is Ying and Anahita." Paimon also introduced them.

Everyone tied up the gilded brigades and the man in Sumeru clothing.

Waited about 20 minutes.

A black figure flashed quickly from a distance, with a pair of pointed ears standing up high, making people think it was some kind of animal in the forest. This person quickly came in front of Cole and gently tapped Cole's head.

"Kole, why are you here? This place doesn't seem to be within your patrol route, right?"

"Uh...I'm sorry, Master Tinari, I actually came here with them." Cole pointed to the Gilded Brigade tied up on the ground.

"We'll talk about your business later."

Tinari looked at Ying and the others. He was stunned. The blond traveler and the white flying pet looked familiar... I felt like I had seen them somewhere before.

"Hello, I am Tinari, the ranger of Huacheng. Thank you for saving my reckless apprentice."

"Huh? It seems like we didn't save her?" Paimon asked puzzledly.

"No, these Gilded Brigades are very cunning, and there are more than just these people. In fact, there were two more lookouts, who were dealt with when I arrived.

They should have known about it when Kelai was following them. If he hadn't happened to meet you, Kelai would have been in great danger."

"Uh... Master, I am very strong." Cole retorted.

"If you use a power that doesn't belong to you, you will definitely pay the price." Tinari glared at Cole.

While they were chatting, ten rangers arrived here breathlessly and escorted the Gilded Brigade away.

"I'm sorry that you had such a bad experience. I'll take you to Huachengguo to rest for a while."

Everyone nodded and accepted Tinari's invitation.

On the way back to Huacheng.

Paimon turned his head to look at Cole and saw that Cole turned his head to the other side, repeating this several times.

"Kole, is there something weird between Ying and me? I feel so uncomfortable being stared at by you."

"Um...I want to ask, are you honorary knights of Mondstadt?"

"Yes! What's wrong?"

"No, no, Amber mentioned you several times in the letter."

"Amber? You actually know Amber?" Paimon asked in surprise.

“It happened several years ago…”

Tinari listened to their conversation with his ears perked up. That famous adventurer Ying actually chose to come to Xumi at this time? And the girl with white hair and pointed ears next to him always gave me an inexplicable feeling.

After walking in the dense forest for more than an hour, the group finally reached the main road. In the distance they saw a large village with wisps of smoke rising from many houses.

"Wow! We're finally here! I'm so tired." Paimon complained.

“Welcome to the first stop for Liyue to enter Xumi, Huachenggu. We will explain to the visiting tourists the precautions for entering Xumi.

Also, Paimon, throw away the white umbrella in your hand. If you eat it, I guarantee you will faint." Tinari was introducing the city of Huagu in front.

"Eh? Fainted from diarrhea?" Paimeng was startled and threw away the mushrooms he had just picked.

"In the rain forest of Xumi, most mushrooms are poisonous, and even the leaves of some plants are toxic. If you don't know how to distinguish between these mushrooms and plants, and no one treats you, it's normal to die in the rain forest."

"very scary!"

As soon as we entered Huacheng City, several forest rangers rushed over.

"Mr. Tinari, there has been no news from Hypatia for three days again."

"Mr. Tinari, the Ordinariate has introduced a new policy."

"Mr. Tinari, two more dead zones have been discovered."

"Mr. Tinari, the people who went to the desert to look for the Great Disciplinary Officer Senor are back."

......

Tinari took a deep breath and exhaled. He couldn't help feeling a little overwhelmed and turned to look at Ying and the others.

"As you can see, I have a lot of things to do here. Cole, after you take them to the guest room, take the food and clothes and go find Hypatia. She should still be in the same place."

"Yes, Master," Cole replied, but Tinari had already left quickly to deal with urgent matters.

"If it's something like delivering food and clothes, we can help, but we also have to escort Anahita." Paimon scratched his head.

"It's okay with me, let's go together." Nashida said.

"You are guests. You have been frightened today and should have a good rest. There is no need to trouble you with such a small matter!" Cole rejected Paimon's proposal.

"It's nice to have a companion along the way. We want to hear more about Xumi."

"this..."

"Okay! Let's go!" Paimon urged.

Cole got a lunch box from the ranger canteen and a set of clothes from a box outside Hypatia's residence. The four of them followed another path into the rain forest.

"Kole, what's the situation with this person named Hypatia? Judging from what your master said, it seems that this happens often?"

"Haibasha is a scholar from Xumi. There are many scholars in Huachengguo. They all find a quiet place to practice. It seems to be called Lin something."

"The Forest Dwelling Madness Period. People want their consciousness to connect to the World Tree and gain knowledge from it, but many people go crazy while exploring the World Tree." Nashida continued Cole's words.

"Yes, yes, that's it. These scholars practiced without paying attention to others, and once they entered the state, they felt like dementia, unable to see or hear anything.

Among them, Hypatia's symptoms were the most serious. The highest record was that she sat and practiced for five days without eating or drinking. If she had not been breathing that time, the master would have thought she was dead.

The most troublesome thing is... the smell is really... I can't believe this is a scholar." Cole complained.

"Smell! Has it gone bad after not taking a bath for five days?" Paimeng asked curiously.

"Normally, after the scholars finish their practice, they will feel the urge to go to the toilet. Therefore, going to the toilet quickly is something that these scholars find very joyful.

But there is another situation. Completely letting go of the mind to connect to the World Tree means temporarily losing control of the body. It is equivalent to the body bursting out everything without knowing it. "Nashida explained.

"Huff..." Paimon vomited again.

"No wonder you have to bring clothes for her." Ying also shook her head and threw the picture out of her mind.

"By the way, what is the World Tree?" Paimon asked.

“The World Tree is not a tree in the biological sense, but you can roughly think of it as a tree growing upside down.

The earth veins are equivalent to its root system, and these roots will continuously absorb the memory of this world. Therefore, the World Tree also gathers all the information and knowledge of the world from ancient times to the present.

The Great Compassion Tree King of Xumi is called the God of Wisdom because her consciousness is connected to the World Tree. The power of the Great Compassion Tree King can actually be said to be a manifestation of the power of the World Tree.

However, like Liyue’s Lin Zixuan, Little Lucky Grass King was unable to connect to the World Tree for some unknown reason.

The knowledge that Little Auspicious Grass King possesses now is the knowledge possessed by the scholars in the Void Terminal, not the knowledge of the World Tree. Without the power of the World Tree as a support, her power is ultimately too weak. "Nashida continued to answer on the side.

"So that's how it is. These scholars all want to steal other people's knowledge from the World Tree. No wonder the big bad guys are so critical of knowledge. Everything we have worked so hard to research is known to these scholars through the World Tree." Paimon said angrily, his hands on his hips.

"Uh... Xumi probably can't get Liyue's knowledge. As you know, the anchor points between countries are not interoperable.

Just like the palm of a hand, the fingers are the earth veins of each country. If someone sets a restriction at the base of the finger, then the knowledge of that country can no longer enter the palm and will only be gathered in the earth veins of that country. "

"Fingers, palms...so that's how it is." Paimon looked at his hands and understood what Nashida said.

“There is nothing wrong with seeking unknown knowledge. In the kingdom of Xumi, curiosity occupies the hearts of most scholars.

Scholars constantly want to know what they don’t know, but forget that knowledge is not just for the pursuit of truth, but for better serving people. The current House of Religion, under the leadership of the sages, has forgotten its original intention. ”

"We're here!" Cole pointed to a cave in the distance.

The four of them quickened their pace and soon arrived at the cave.

A green, round little creature in the cave saw someone coming, put down the fruit in its hand, and tiptoed along the wall to leave.

However, it felt as if someone was looking at it, and when it looked up, it met four pairs of eyes. It moved a few steps to the left, and their eyes followed its movement. Unbelieving, it moved a few steps to the right, but the feeling of being stared at did not disappear at all.

"Cole, where does this green ball come from?" Paimon asked, pointing at the round creature.

"Uh... I don't know. I can see it occasionally when I patrol the forest, but it disappears quickly." Cole shook his head.
