Collecting branches was a simple matter. Since they were already soaked, they could just go to the woods in front in the rain and pick up some dead branches and leaves. If they were not enough, they could just chop some off the branches on the trees with their swords.

"Miss, the battle just now has exhausted me a lot. I need to go back and rest for a while!"

Said Oz, the Night Crow, flapping his wings.

"Well, please step aside. The princess agrees!" Fischl nodded with a smile on her fair face.

After getting the response, Night Crow turned into lightning and crashed into the purple eye of God.

Although you can rest outside, the effect is not as good as in the Eye of God.

However, just as the two were about to take action, two white figures ran out of the woods quickly.

"Look, traveler, there is a cave over here, and there are people there. Let's go and take shelter from the rain!"

A creature with pure white hair and a golden crown floating on its head, like a humanoid elf, pointed forward and said this.

Holding a large green lotus leaf, blocking the other blond figure called the Traveler above his head, he nodded slightly.

She never expected that it would suddenly rain heavily when the weather seemed so clear. In a hurry, she could only find a lotus leaf to shield her head.

Obviously it was of no use, they were already soaked.

Li Qiuzhi looked at the two people running over with some surprise and surprise. Aren’t these Ying and Paimeng? How could they meet here!

Well, if you think about it carefully, they, as the protagonists of the game, did appear at about the same time as the Wind Dragon.

It seemed that after Ying woke up, she wandered in the wild for a long time, and finally when she was fishing in the sea outside the Falling Star Valley, she accidentally fished up Paimeng who had fallen into the water.

Ying saved Paimon, and the two got to know each other and became friends. Ying also told Paimon about her brother being captured by an unknown god.

Therefore, Paimon agreed to be her guide and take her to visit every country in Teyvat, vowing to find the god who kidnapped her brother and rescue him!

It seemed that Li Qiuzhi and his companions were just on their way to Mondstadt, and it happened to be raining heavily. There was also a cave here, so it was quite reasonable for them to meet in this way.

"Uh... who are you?" Li Qiuzhi did not show any unusualness towards the two people who came into the cave.

Although he knew them, Ying and Paimon didn't know him. In order to avoid too much trouble, it would be better to treat them as strangers they met by chance.

"Hey, are you guys hiding here because of the heavy rain as well?"

Paimon, who was floating in the air and had eyes like the starry sky, asked first, then pointed at himself and the blonde girl next to him and introduced them:

"Her name is Ying, she's a traveler, and I'm Paimon, her guide!"

"Hello!" The girl with two white petals on her head smiled and said to Li Qiuzhi and Fischl.

"I am the Princess of Judgment, and I accept your friendly greetings!"

Fischl brushed her wet hair aside her ear and responded with a proud look.

"." Li Qiuzhi felt a little helpless.

No wonder little Amy has few friends. Every time she talks to strangers like this, they basically have no desire to have in-depth communication.

"Princess?" Paimon spread his thumb and index finger and placed them on his chin, stroking them in confusion. "Isn't Mondstadt governed by the Knights of Favonius? How come there is still a royal family?"

"Humph~ Mondstadt is nothing. Even the entire Teyvat cannot be compared with the world ruled by this princess. That is the final destination of all things in the universe and the starry sky - the Pure Land of Dark Night!"

Fischl said, with her hands on her hips and her chest slightly puffed out.

"W-what?! You are from outside the world too!" Paimon said in surprise, covering his mouth with his hands.

"also?"

Fischl asked, raising her brows in confusion.

"No, uh, this, that." Paimon realized that he had revealed something he shouldn't have said.

After all, even if he wanted to help the traveler find his brother, he wouldn't have to mention the fact that Ying came from outside the world to two strangers he met by chance.

It would do her no good to spread the news across the continent; instead it would bring her some trouble.

So in the original novel, many people knew that she was looking for her brother, but only a few people who were relatively familiar with her knew that she was from outside the world.

Ying held his forehead and looked at Paimon helplessly. Why did this guide look a little stupid?

She has been to many worlds and has seen everything. It can probably be seen that this girl with a black eye mask and golden hair is just more immersed in the fantasy world and plays a similar role in reality.

"Haha, if you two have anything difficult to say, don't worry about this question. She was just asking casually!"

Li Qiuzhi said this not wanting to make the atmosphere too awkward.

Sure enough, although Paimon is indeed the traveler's best companion, he can be a little silly sometimes, which I let slip.

And you still need a stranger like me to clean up for you.

"Yeah, you're such a nice person, then I won't say anything!" Paimon was obviously relieved when he heard his words, and said while touching his pure white hair.

[Paimon has developed a favorable impression of you, gaining 90 points of favorable impression, and the current favorable impression level is Lv.1 (90/100)]

Ying put her hands on both sides of her wet white backless dress and thought that the two people in front of her didn't look like bad people, so it would be better to explain it to them so that they would not be suspicious of her and become wary.

"It's okay to tell you this, but I hope you won't tell anyone else after you know it." Ying said with a smile on her fair face.

Then he told them his story and that of his brother, of course only explaining that he was indeed from outside the continent of Teyvat and was looking for his brother who had been captured by the gods.

Secrets that are too deep are not suitable to be told to ordinary people.

Fischl was obviously surprised when she heard this answer, but Li Qiuzhi didn't expect her to actually say it, so she could only promise not to tell anyone else.

[Ying has developed a favorable impression of you, gaining 60 points of favorable impression, and the current favorable impression level is Lv.1 (60/100)]

Ying nodded after getting the assurance, and then joined Li Qiuzhi and the others in collecting branches and covering the cave.

After learning that the enemy had been eliminated, Irene briefly got to know Ying and Paimon, then took a blunt iron shovel and dug some soil and piled it at the entrance of the cave. According to the plan, the pile should be half a meter high.

In addition to fixing tree branches, it can also block wind, rain, snakes, insects, rats and ants.

With the help of Ying and Paimeng, the work was completed much faster than expected. Next, we have to change our wet clothes quickly!

Thanks to "Tianmo" for the reward of 100 coins!

Chapter 111: Wind Core

A slightly drier area above the depression at the end of the cave.

Everyone once again expanded the three bonfire racks to form a circle of about five or six square meters. Two adventure tents and a round stove made of branches and sticks were set up in the middle.

There were just three fire slimes stuffed into the stove, and they had all been knocked unconscious by Li Qiuzhi with the hilt of his sword.

There are heat sources in the middle and around, so even if there is a storm outside, it won't feel that cold here.

From this point of view, this is a qualified small camp.

"Then everyone should change your clothes as soon as possible, or you'll catch a cold if you continue like this!" Irene, the only one who wasn't wet, said worriedly.

"Yeah! I've been feeling uncomfortable all over for a long time!"

Paimon, who was floating in the air and still dripping with water, shook his head heavily and said with a smile.

"But we don't have any clothes, right?" Ying raised her right foot, grabbed the sides of the high-heeled sole and took off her white over-the-knee boots, revealing her slender, soft, white calves.

Then he hung the boots on the simple clothesline that Li Qiuzhi built with branches and sticks. The beveled inner boot opening seemed to contain the ocean, with water dripping continuously.

She has been wandering around in the wild since she woke up. Where did she get any other clothes except the one she was wearing?

"Oh!" Paimon covered his head in confusion.

"This is easy. First, take off your clothes in the tent and wrap yourself in a thin blanket. Then I will be responsible for drying them!"

Irene was very friendly to the two new friends she had just met.

"Well, that's the only way!" Ying and Paimon looked at each other and nodded. Through their interactions just now, they felt that these people were still trustworthy.

At this time, Fischl had already changed her clothes and came out of the tent. She changed into a black sleeveless vest and her pants became thin boxer shorts.

Because my boots were also wet, I had to walk barefoot on the ground before they dried.

Fortunately, the ground here is not too wet and there are fire sources around, so walking barefoot will not be cold or uncomfortable.

As for Li Qiuzhi, he was completely helpless. He didn't carry any clothes in his damaged backpack, so he could only wear wet clothes. It was a bit uncomfortable, but with his strong physique, he would not get sick because of this.

Next.

While the girls were busy changing their clothes, Li Qiuzhi simply dealt with the wild boar that he had defeated at the beginning with his long sword.

With his superb swordsmanship, he had no problem cutting pork into crystal clear slices.

After asking for everyone's opinions, it was finally decided to make large pieces of fried meat and pork soup. Fischl's Eye of God carried a pot, tableware, and a few seasonings.

There was a pool of water under the depression at the end of the cave. It was raining heavily outside, so getting clean water was not a problem.

So all the conditions were ready, and soon the fried meat and broth were ready, and the cave was filled with the aroma of meat.

"Wow! What a delicious smell!"

Paimon popped his head out of the tent and said with his mouth drooling.

"Paimon, be reserved!"

A white hand reached out from inside and pressed her head back.

"It's okay. Your clothes are almost dry. They will be fine after drying for a while."

Erin said as she stood by a campfire.

On the simple clothes hanger made of branches and sticks, in addition to Ying's backless dress and over-the-knee boots, there are also white bloomers worn under the skirt and a chest-wrapped blouse.

Speaking of clothes, Li Qiuzhi had been cooking soup and frying meat by the slime stove for a long time, and felt that his clothes had been dried as well.

Night has completely fallen.

A group of five people sat around the slime stove and drank a full bowl of broth. Everyone felt their whole body warmed up!

“It’s amazing to be able to eat such delicious food in the wild!”

Paimon, wearing a golden crown on his head, flew happily in the air and said.

"Well, the fried meat tastes a little salty." Irene chewed a piece of fried meat and gave her own thoughts.

“The broth is really delicious!”

Ying looked at Li Qiuzhi with her amber pupils and said.

"My skills are not very good and I really need to improve." Li Qiuzhi said with a smile. After all, he is not a chef who specializes in cooking, so it is not surprising that he sometimes performs poorly.

"I feel fine."

Fischl placed the round bowl of hot soup on her two snow-white thighs, lightly supporting it, feeling the heat as she spoke.

In the friendly atmosphere where everyone was chatting and laughing and getting to know each other, time passed by like an adjusted pocket watch.

In the early morning, the heavy rain from yesterday afternoon had stopped long ago.

The bright sunshine once again penetrated the clouds and fell on the faces of several people who had already reached the cave entrance.

"Miss Ying, are you going to Mondstadt next?"

Irene asked Ying and Paimon.

"Yes, yes, after all, she still needs to find her brother!"

Paimon said with a smile, his hands behind his back, and Ying nodded silently.

"In this case, we can only say goodbye here. We still have one last thing to complete!"

Li Qiuzhi smiled and said.

What he meant was that they wanted to go to the "Windmill Chrysanthemum Garden" indicated on the treasure map. After all, looking at the map, it seemed to be located in the Cape Lookout area, right next to the Falling Star Valley.

And since it's already here, I might as well go over and look for it.

Otherwise, next time you go, you won’t waste too much time on the road.

"Well then, we'll have a chance to have dinner together again in Mondstadt in the future!" Paimon said with a grin.

"Of course there is no problem with this. I am an investigator for the Adventurer's Association. You can find me by talking to Catherine."

Fischl put on the short skirt that she had dried last night, put her hands on her hips and slightly puffed out her chest as she spoke.

"Catherine?" Ying asked with some confusion.

"You're the receptionist of the Adventurer's Guild, Miss Ying." Night Crow Oz, who had already recovered and reappeared, explained on behalf of his young lady.

"I see."
